So, how do you give a spellcaster Vow of Poverty (or something similar) and keep it in balance? They don't need weapons or armor, but the lack of defensive items and staves drastically reduces their strength. So, here's my idea. Charity (Character Option) Prerequisite: 1st level Benefit: You...

Well, my character is a Elan psychic who already has the ability to sustain herself without food or water indefinitely, plus spend power points to boost my reflexes and immune system and ignore damage, so I figure Fast Healing is par for the course here. If gaining Fast Healing from this feat...

Fast Healer Prerequisite: Fort save +4 Benefit: You gain Fast Healing 1. At 10th, 15th, and 20th level, your fast healing improves by 1. This healing does not stack with other sources of Fast Healing, such as a Lesser Vigor spell, but it stacks with other uses of this feat. Special: You may take...

Masterwork books would definitely work, priced according to other masterwork items. You'd only gain the benefits if you made the knowledge check while reading, though. Another option is to enchant them with competence bonuses, 100g x bonus squared, each one tied to a different knowledge skill...

Thanks for the quick response. I have the ability to use Empathic Transfer, Hostile to inflict large quantities of damage on opponents while healing the party, so I'm a pretty big threat. I like getting hit though, it makes me stronger. I'm primarily concerned with my hit point and power point...

I'm in a campaign, playing a Worldthought Medic (psionic healer) and I want to play a character that gives all her wealth to charity. At the same time, however, I don't want to be perpetually behind the other party members in strength because of this. What I'd like to do is take something...

His initiative modifier is +12, so he pretty much automatically knocks out a powerful enemy at the beginning of combat. Knocked out = defeated, with the Coup de Grace rules, or just cutting him up enough. And yes, he has god stats. Every character he makes gad god stats. I've never seen...

He does not have Knockout artist yet, but the Dm has stated that we will level at the end of the next session (we defeated 10 CR 7 encounters in one session, with no rest. Woo hoo healing). Presumably he will take Sap Master as his level 7 feat. Sap Adept gives 2 damage per sneak attack die...

I'm currently playing in a campaign in which the players are all adventurers in a large dungeon, one so vast and with so much teleportation magic it seems nearly infinite. Inside is a town, Free Town, made up entirely of adventurers. My character, a psychic, has no need of magical items...

If you're interested, the Vitalist (just released by Dreamscarred Press) is a psionic healing class that can function quite well. By level 8 you gain 4th level powers, a pool of power points like a Psion, and a psychic network that not only lets you monitor your allies' condition but also speak...

The player in question decided to play a Monk 2 / Rogue 4. He's found feats that allow him to deal non-lethal damage with sneak attack, and inflict twice as much damage with his sneak attack. That, plus his monk style feats, makes him a VERY effective character. Highest damage by far, and with...

The DM understands that I have good judgment, and my character will be fine in the party. In addition, pistols in our campaign are 1d8 damage, 20/x4 weapons that fire against normal AC, not touch ac, so it's just an exotic crossbow effectively. The problem player uses dozens of sourcebooks to...

To add some more information about the situation, the rest of the party is composed of the following: Warforged Dragonfire Adept, Lightning type Aasimar Gunslinger, Pistol style Elven Wizard, Enchantment specialist Human Monk, Flaming Fists style Myself, Aasimar Vitalist (psionic healer from...

I'm going to be playing in a 6th level Pathfinder game, and I'm trying to design a base class that fills the role of a Cleric or a Paladin, while focusing on group healing and group combat boosts. Here is my current idea, based partially on the Inquisitor, but taking a little from the Paladin...

I've played with something similar in a 3.5 campaign, and my cleric worked fine. Ultimately, using the variant will make the Cleric function more like a Favored Soul from 3.5 Complete Divine - better at their select kinds of spells, but lacking much of the cleric's versatility. For the player...

Update A number of things happened since I last posted. First, the problem player in question tried to play several builds, all of which were too powerful. Because of that, the DM asked him to play a character using only the core rules for pathfinder. He made a character, then decided to scrap...

So far the DM seems to be vetoing every character he's made so far, so he might just give up and not play at all. In the case that he does play something broken, I've expressed that I won't play or host unless he's kicked out. I've asked my DM to restrict him to the Pathfinder core rulebook...

Actually, they were real things (a level 2 spell that grants feats temporarily but he abused the rulings on it, and the Dread Devourer template which in pathfinder is only LA +2 according to the rules). I'd leave him to alienate the rest of the group, but the rest of the players are all really...

I ran a Pathfinder / 3.5 game with a problem player. To call him an extreme powergamer would be a courtesy; I'm not sure he has the capacity to tell what is and is not appropriate power for a character of a given level. He finds whatever he can find that is powerful and plays it. Every session I...

All of those abilities are either uses per day or rounds per day, or else feat uses. I'd be okay with challenge if it was for a number of rounds per day equal to 3 + primary mental stat, +2 rounds per day per Duelist level beyond 1st. You could take a feat to get 8 more rounds, like pathfinder...
