This looks like an excellent book that I will never have the opportunity to use. Everyone I game with has the potential and desire to play in an evil campaign, but they would almost assuredly kill each other every session regardless of alignment or plot. Seriously. In the first session, one...

You can be very good at feinting and not be very charismatic, the same with intimidate. Charisma just helps, especially at low levels when you aren't that skilled yet, and natural talent shines through more than experience. Characters with low charisma just aren't as socially adept as those...

A raw +2 bonus to Fortitude saves is about as good as a feat, and I think that would make the race a little too strong, since it would also stack with Great Fortitude. Light Fortification is more of a Warforged thing, I think, and makes the race decidedly not-human. I'm shooting for a race that...

I suppose so. I just figured, D&D's already filled with enough strange rules and situations, that I might as well go out of my way and try and make some that doesn't just work mechanically, but makes some sort of sense. DR 1/- with a feat to improve it by 1 seems pretty good to me. The DR and...

The Star Wars Saga Edition approach to "magic" in the form of force powers worked quite well, and I can see a variant of it working in Pathfinder. Each psionic power would have to be strong enough to compare with what a Sorcerer could do at that level. The issue with the system is not the...

Okay, so racial features seem to be, at the moment, Aulos +2 Con, +2 Cha, -2 Dex Medium size 30 foot base land speed Living Construct +2 to perform checks, perform is always a class skill, can improve two types of perform at once Self Repair Con x level damage in 8 hours Dr 1/- that stacks...

It's not a natural armor bonus, it is an armor bonus. Perhaps that was ambiguous in the description, but it says armor bonus. My reasoning for why it would not stack with a monk's bonus to armor class is that the Aulos' armor is designed to absorb impacts (in the same way that plate armor makes...

It says in the description that the armor bonus does not stack with a Monk's unarmored bonus or other equivalent abilities, like the Ninja's Wisdom bonus. And any character can wear amulets of natural armor if they have the gold to spare. Allowing their Armored Body to be enchanted has two...

The origins of the Aulos are obscure at best, at worst lost to the winds of time. Some scholars claim that they are humans who have bred with mechanical outsiders and become detached from mortality, while other equally learned mages believe them to be a race of machines created for the express...

Mystic Ranger and Wilderness Rogue give you the skill requirements and match the concept. They don't have much in the way of healing (aside from some from the ranger IIRC). Archivist is another solid class choice, but you seem to dislike frail characters. Though the class is rife with...

Well, it looks like I'll have something around 36 Intelligence after leveling up and items, and with 33 ranks and a +30 item, I have a +79 bonus without feats or anything else. The DC to affect a challenge rating 24 is 59, CR 30 is 75, CR 36 is 87. So, throw in Skill Focus and I should be more...

Dandu, a +30 Amulet of the Silver Tongue has been approved by GM. Since we're epic level, it's "par for course". His own words. What I mean is, aside from Skill Focus (Truespeak) and Int boosting items, I don't really need or want anything else to improve my checks.

I'm making a Truenamer 20 / Exemplar 10, and I've never played an epic level character before. I'd be really grateful if I could get some help with that. I start with 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, and 11 for my stats, with 6 points to divide among them (to a max of 18 starting). Race is human. I can use...

Fine, that could work. I'm a psychic though, so I have no material components. Sorry for the short post, I have the horrible death (blegh)

Replacing Scribe Scroll with Eschew Materials is perfect. Great idea! I think that replacing expensive material components with extended casting time could pose something of a problem. If I was a Wizard, I'd choose taking a few minutes to cast Wish over the gold piece loss (plus, that allows...

Stormonu, that and the fact that Wizards start the game with a spellbook, I believe, and the spells initially gained and gained per level are free. That's a nice work-around, though. i figure playing a Wizard with this option, you could choose Eschew Materials and/or Skincaster as bonus feats...

Alientude, first of all, welcome to the forum! It's always nice to see a new face, metaphorically speaking. 1) The character is a Psion, and there are very few spells with material components for psychic characters (besides I think Reality Revision). On the other hand, well, too bad. You have...

My friend has the Book of Hallowed Might, and the feats in there are not that great. Vow of Poverty gives you 1/2 your level as a bonus to most charisma-based skill checks and to Sense Motive, but it also allows you to own one piece of magical equipment per 2 levels, plus some spending gold...

DumbPaladin, the character can keep 100 gp in expenses per character level, more than enough for a Wizard to have his spellbook. They could learn new spells from other spellbooks and research, just not scrolls, since they have material value and spellbooks do not. Also, this option is more...

The wealth loss is 100%. Sorry about the vague wording. However, I would stipulate that the character can maintain mundane equipment (non-masterwork) equal to 100 GP per character level, representing basic tools of the trade, holy symbols, food rations, and travel expenses. None of the equipment...
