I really don't see any way this is simpler than Gestalt characters. I suspect that balancing characters between single classed and this would be impossible (Gestalt has the same issue) and there will be hugely different power levels between different class combinations as well. Frankly if you...

I'm not really sure how this works. Start as a fighter, add Paladin. you can be a fighter 5/paladin 5 instead of a fighter or paladin 6. If hitpoints and BAB apply from both classes you're clearly better than the straight level 6 character, even if they don't you're trading 1 level of paladin...

Reading the rules strictly it appears that you can't use two-weapon fighting with pistols. The two weapon fighting description says that thrown weapons count, the hand-crossbow says that it is usable with 2 weapon fighting. Pistols don't say anything about it. Personally I'd say that it is...

It's probably fair to say that the fighter is the king of dishing out consistent damage in Pathfinder of the melee classes (Paladin's might challenge while smiting, Ranger's might do a touch more against a favored enemy) but a fighter really needs to be either 2 weapon (including shield as a...

If it's well built the fighter will do more damage (a ranger might catch up if up against favoured enemies), the ranger gives you more options (more skills, spells, special abilities etc) Note that the ranger can pick to buff his companions against favoured enemies instead of taking an animal...

The problem with flaws is that it's commonly quite easy to find flaws that don't really affect the character. e.g. A barbarian with the frenzied berserker and a cursed berzerking sword. So it's really tough to do well and very easy to do badly. Of course some cursed items have some pretty...

So a wizard with improved invisiblity who disintegrates somebody is automatically evil?

So any character who gets hired to attack a goblin village is evil then?

I suspect you'll find that the way that a spear is wielded versus the way that a dagger is wielded is sufficiently different to explain a difference in damage (not to mention that D&D damage is not all actually physical damage) Which was more down to formation fighting and the advantages of...

That's not a way of wielding a 2 handed weapon in 1 hand, that's a way of having an extra hand so that you can wield a 2 handed weapon and still have an arm free to do something else Yes that is a way but it's a special ability of a particular archetype which makes it very much a special case...

I considered that but Furious Focus is in the Advanced Players Guide as well and it does have the provision for 1 handed weapons used in 2 hands so while it's possible that it's just sloppy wording rather than meant to be a difference I don't feel that it can really be relied upon as a reason...

Actually I'm explain the situation as I see it and giving reasons for why I hold the opinion. Could you please quote the rules that let you wield a 2 handed weapon with 1 hand in Pathfinder or give a page reference to where they are? (iirc there was Monkey-Grip in 3.x) I don't remember it and...

Considering the definition of "One Handed Weapon" includes being able to wield them in 2 hands and the definition of "Two Handed Weapon" states that they can only be used in 2 hands (with special cases for bastards swords etc) then I think the definition comes from the weapon I don't think the...

Looking at the feats I think the answer is actually no. Power attack clearly states that the extra-damage applies if "with a two-handed weapon, a one handed weapon using two hands, or a primary natural weapon" Furious Focus also clearly includes both. Shield of Swings and Pushing Assault only...

Pathfinder / Hero Lab Community FAQ - Lone Wolf Development Forums has details on how to set things up to get higher levels of spells settable for hero labs The approach is a bit clunky but it does work as I recall.

I strongly recommend the Way of the Wicked adventure path by Fire Mountain Games. The first 3 modules (Knot of Thorns, Call Forth Darkness & Tears of the Blessed) are out now and the 4th should be released shortly (unless I've missed an announcement) They're available from Paizo and DriveThruRPG

The masterpieces all seem to be under the Bard Tab (Add optional Masterpieces between Versatile Performances and Spells). I can't confirm if Rheumy Refrain is there because I don't have the Blood of Fiends data package. If it's not showing up there for you then I suspect that you need the...

Plant growth boosts the yield of crops (level 3) Plant Growth Control Weather can control the weather (but it's level 7) Control Weather options for building stone shape, wall of stone, disintegrate can be used for building & excavation levitate can assist various summons and monsters can be...

I have a recollection that some of the alternative 3.x campaigns had things along those lines. I think Arcana Unearthed or Arcana Evolved had racial levels for many classes. I can't recall if any others did

Humans don't explode in a vacuum either. We do run into huge problems with air boiling out of our lungs (and don't try and hold your breath) but we don't explode.
