    D&D 4E Is Paizo ever going to shore up it's online support for Pathfinder like 4E does?

    Taking care of magic users...

    facing opposition spellcasters is a huge source of tension, negate them easily and you lose that tension. spellcasters can have an absolutely huge impact on battles but if you make it too easy to negate them then a) you've got to rebalance encounters hugely b) you've got a player who's sitting...

    Taking care of magic users...

    I don't agree with your stated goal. If it's too easy or effective to counter spell then it becomes far too easy for PCs to be shut down which leaves the casters not having a positive effect on the game. Alternatively it's too easy for them to shut down the opposition casters which does away...

    New Spell - Enchantment Transfer

    I'd be interested in seeing them. I suggest that you start another thread for them. The problem with this theory is the difference in effect between the items could be huge. As an example I've got a level 12 fighter who has weapon focus, greater weapon focus, weapon specialisation, greater...

    Is a creature too powerful ?

    My suspicion is that you're probably being put up against too tough an opposition. If you could give a few of the encounters that you've been up against that would give us a better idea. Saying that there are a few other possibilities - not enough defensive items on the fighter. at 9th level...

    Rules Help

    Con bonus is added to hp at every level, so at first level you get Max hp + Con bonus (and possibly +1hp from favored class) So a fighter with 14 con could have 10 (max on d10) + 2 (con) + 1 (favoured class) = 13 hp at first level at second level you typically roll the die and add con (and...

    Pathfinder 1E PC power in Pathfinder

    a single classed pathfinder character is probably more powerful than a single classed 3.5 character (with the disclaimer that there was enough stuff released for 3.5 that you could make severely broken characters with the right selection of spells and feats) How big the difference in power is...

    D&D 4E WotC, DDI, 4E, and Hasbro: Some History

    As a developer I'll add a few thoughts from the trenches (about 12 years in the trenches as a developer & tester). And a hell of a lot of the work is in areas that you won't predict unless you've worked on similar things before. Data storage, speed of retrieval, changed requirements causing...

    D&D 4E WotC, DDI, 4E, and Hasbro: Some History

    Those are the main methods. In this situation you might get different terms (which could well be part of the problem) I don't know the details of the company spinoffs and what was going on but I wonder if it was launched because somebody important was a D&D fan and was eager to get in at any...

    Making multiclassing competitive with single-classing

    If you don't let people learn higher level spells it's pretty pointless for anything but a minimal dip if you are a spellcaster or you end up with a fair few spells that get cast all the time e.g. quickened shield, quickened divine favour if you do then a 1 or 2 level dip in a spellcasting...

    Making multiclassing competitive with single-classing

    It depends on a lot of things. If you're a full spellcasting class you can basically rule the idea out for power and it would take almost a complete rewrite of the game to make it worth considering. A 50/50 ranger/rogue is pretty effective In other cases a dip can be well and truly worth it...

    So what's your favorite class - and why?

    Wizard - Summoning Celestial Dire Tigers, waiting for being able to summon multiple Celestial Tyrannosaurus in another level...being a teleport conjuror means a lot of movement options. Lots of flexibility... I've got to say that a straight up fighter is also fun though. I'm keen to get to...

    Hero Lab - do you use it?

    There are some package discounts, eg. when Bestiary 3 comes out you can but B1, B2 and B3 for $29.99 It isn't cheap but it does very nicely for most things (there are a few exceptions, Synthesist isn't covered yet for example) It's up to the individual to decide whether the cost is worth if for...

    Why not monks?

    Huh, I hadn't noticed Fury's Fall before which makes a bit of a difference. Of course you now don't have reach from the whip so that makes it easier for things to get to you but such is life. Although now that I check I see you don't actually threaten with the whip. as I remember them that's a...
