Hey everyone, I am running the first session of the Serpent's Skull adventure path on Sunday, and one of my players has created what seems to be a very high-power inquisitor. He took the Rich Parents trait (start with 900 GP) and a trait from the SS Player's Guide (I forgot the name) which...

If, as you say, the younger player is attentive, social, and reliable, why isn't he considered one of your friends, as well? Is it because of his age? If so, wouldn't that also imply that you don't see him as an equal, either? If you do consider him a friend, then please think about how awful...

Well, one way to deal with CHA is to look at how other systems handle social interaction. In GURPS, for instance, Charisma is an Advantage that has to be purchased (and can be purchased multiple times, stacking in each instance). I suppose the closest equivalent to an Advantage in D&D/PF would...

My group is having some confusion with the spell Animate Dead. As some of us understand it, the spell only allows you to create Skeletons and Zombies - our interpretation of this is that only the base skeletons and zombies (those with single hit dice, in the Bestiary) can be created. Our...

Just what I was looking for. : ) I hadn't really thought about putting together a soundboard, but that seems like a great idea. I'm also going to try out the programs that were suggested for music/sound management. Any specific soundtracks for a jungle-themed adventure? I'm going to be running...

There are plenty of great posts on these forums regarding good sources of music for your tabletop RPG session, but in my experience, I have found that well-placed sound effects and background noise can be just as effective as music (and the two used together can be amazing). So I'm wondering...

Wow. Just wow... So many great insults. And thanks, Puget, for your unique take on the VM power. I liked and learned many of these and plan to keep them as valuable ammunition for my bard. Next session is this Thursday! The Shakespeare Insukt Generator is great, too! Last session my character...

Wow. Thanks everyone for the breadth of responses. Well, at five bucks, I can't pass this up and I'll be buying a copy tomorrow (payday!!!). I'm certainly a tinkerer (I've been working on my own d20 variant for my home games) and it sounds like the knowledge and design notes in the TB PDF will...

For some reason, every post I make from my iPhone (using Forum Runner) is labeled as humor. There is no option for ke to changethis like there is when I simply post to the site from my PC. If a mod could please change this from "humor" to "generic" in this instance, I'd be grateful as I don't...

Ive heard a lot of talk about Trailblazer recently. As a Pathfinder player, this has me intrigued, but I haven't been able to find a lot of information on it. I don't want to buy something without knowing the gist of it, so I'm asking for anyone with Trailblazer knowledge to please fill me in on...

Not a thing.

I was laughing out loud through some of those. How perfectly awesome. And fba827, you're right that specifically-tailored insults are best, and I intend to come up with some on the fly. Everything suggested here gives me more ammo/ideas to work with. : ) I also love the idea of having the...

I was recently invited to play in a 4E group in my area amongst some new friends, and I've decided to play a bard. I really love the flavor of the Vicious Mockery power, but I want to add a bit of a cool factor to it by blurting out harsh insults whenever I use it. So, what are some...

I think WotC may have indeed underestimate Paizo's effect on 4E. I think the Essentials line of products stands as evidence to that to some extent - the return to that pre-4E feel. If anything, Paizo's success must have made it clear to WotC that the legacy classes and power in their essentials...

No. I'm fed up with what I feel is a marketing ploy of "This is not 4.5", while recent news seems to be indicating this IS a new edition. But mostly, I just... never enjoyed the original 4e.

1. I haven't subscribed because I am not aware of all of the benefits of subscribing. This thread has done more to explain that to me than anything else on the site. 2. I am not a fan of 4E. More Pathfinder or even GURPS content would be of use to me. 3. The quality of the forum discussions...

I'm certainly excited about the information in the newest preview. What an effective way to add a whole breadth of interesting options while promoting character development at the same time. Detective? Antipaladin? Awesome! : )

D&D 3E - 10th grade - owned the books but never got to play. Vampire: the Masquerade - One session in 12th grade. D&D 3.5E - 18 to 21 years old GURPS - 20 to 21 years old D&D 4E - 21 to 23 years old Warhammer Fantasy RPG - one session, 6 months ago. Pathfinder RPG - Present (23 y/o) Before...

There is still no consensus that a spell is always the better choice. Perhaps subjectively, but for a sorcerer who, on average, ends up with around 75-80 HP at level 20, a +25% HP plan is still viable. You're right that I would be hard-pressed to play a non-human sorcerer at this point. My...

Where are you getting 2 spells from? Only one additional spell is obtainable per level, per the new rules addition. And yes, it's allowing the sorcerer some more versatility, but because the number of spells that can be cast per day doesn't change, and because the extra spell is always of a...
