AH! just deleted reply ... sigh. anyway, you probably have the reply at the ready. You've covered creatures that would keep the outsider type (I say keep the word, it does fit). Which outsiders do you think should drop the outsider type and simply keep the extrapanar subtype...

I agree with the words of 'outsider' and 'extraplanar' being synonymous, but I think in function they are different. Outsiders always seemed to be more infused with the energy/life/spirit/essence of a plane. Extraplanar, imo, was just a way to describe a critter/humanoid form another plain...

Power gamey? ... that's a group choice. When I play with my brother and co. we have no problem with bad rolls or flaws. A 7 or 8 in a stat makes the game fun. Then again we're all old and have played games where we only allowed 3d6 per stat in order (that was fun! ... short, but fun).

I felt like the end battle of the armies was like the end of a night of gaming and everyone was really really tired ... Ok the Eagles show up and kill the other army! ... Werebears?! Crap! Yeah they showed up too. I still have fond memories of the cartoon battle of the 5 armies (at least the...

have you checked out the Graveknight template from the PF Bestiary 3? It's also part of the PRD. It is very Death Knight like. I've attached my modified copy. My biggest issue was addressing the massive power curve you get in WoW and realizing that in 3x/PF, that curve is from levels 1-20...

Will they be intelligent? still apex monsters? if you want a lower power style of dragon that's just meant to be a serious monster (but not super high level) you try dropping the overall hd and power. Maybe do a straight conversion of a 1e red dragon, drop the int so they're not so cunning.

Ability scores Ok, how does this work ... +2 to all Mental stats: +2 Int, +2 Wis, +2 Cha +4 to other type: +4 Con -2 to other type -2 Dex would that be correct?

this topic was probably covered long ago (actually have a little bit of time to putz around atm), but currently I'm attempting to update some older races from various sources (3rd party and homebrew). I think I have the basics down on what I need to do create a race, but how strong a...

With DM approval rather than simply saying "as long as it's in the core books". Not that it was the current scenario, but along it seems that something like this happened.

This, and simply ask the players if they are okay with PC's dying in game. If the players are ok with losing a PC or two and rolling up new ones (I suggest one level lower than the current group level, or even making that level up with an NPC class Warrior/expert/ari). A long time ago in the...

Ranged touch spells work wonderfully too ... that +8 from armor is gone and so is the +2 from the amulet. AC is now 20, not unreasonable for an enemy spell caster to zap him with scorching ray or an enemy with a BAB of +7 and good strength (with MW weapon, WF, etc)

I wouldn't claim 'jumped the shark' ... DM and player discretion would cover it.

iron shackles, spear points at the back, large and ferocious guard animals, some overseers, ... I could make that work. As for infrastructure, I would think the orcs managed to take over a human/dwarven/elven settlement with the necessary buildings and nearby resources at hand. I agree, raids...

If you're on the fence, slaves make a great option. From smithy to miner.

Ok, so a follow up question sub domains are those listed in the APG right? ... where they split the domains into two related domains that you can take either of instead of the main domain, right?

I think, as per core PF rules, you've got the gist of it. Weapon focus in dagger would reduce your effective penalty to -1/-1 ... weapon finesse would allow you to use your (supposedly higher) dex for attack rolls. I believe Battle axe and dagger would be the same -2/-2. (side note: invest in...

you could try the Pathfinder OGC site ... it has a list of PF templates and 3rd party templates. some cool stuff (ie if you want to create a WoW Death Knight, they have the Grave Knight ... the arctic template is just seemingly very cool for non-power up type template)...

thanks for the updates

never thought about sleight of hand being dangerous .... - I hide the dagger in my boot before the guards come around the corner *ok, roll your check - ... ... ... 1! *ok, roll a d20 to see if you manage to hit yourself - ... ... ... 20! *again!, crit confirmation - ... ... ... 20...

are there any rules or guidelines for gods granting certain levels of spells in PF? I'm thinking back to the 1e (and 2e?) where depending on the gods power level (demi, lesser, intermediate, greater) there were some spell levels that were unavailable (demi powers could grant up to 5th lvl...
