Rare earths, the name notwithstanding, are not particularly rare. The Chinese have the market cornered mainly because they're willing to stripmine their country and sell the metals for far less than anyone else can. So this is interesting but not a game changer.

I'd probably pick Wisdom. I rarely play divine spellcasters or monks, so it wouldn't hurt the character too much stat-wise. I'm rather flighty and impulsive, so it's easy enough to roleplay a low Wisdom score. Charisma is fine if you're just looking at the stats, but it's really hard to...

Probably cheaper than my sucky printer would be, even turning off layers. I'll be getting one next paycheck. :)

Go by the CR -- they're usually pretty accurate for Pathfinder, since they've had several versions of playtesting. If they are getting trounced, though, you can always have a few more come in from a nearby room.

Cool. That's the best way I've found to introduce people. :)

Pathfinder fan here and I have to agree with you. 4e is an established game in the middle of its run. Pathfinder is a newer game that has an expanding fanbase. If it *wasn't* selling more, there would be something seriously wrong. It doesn't say anything about the worth of either company...

Rock on! More stuff to read. :)

Bards make excellent villains, because the PCs don't know what to do with them. Diviners are even more fun. Speaking of which, I haven't thrown one at my present party, so I should do that... Have him use his social skills to the fullest in the background, especially if the PCs have neglected...

I started my son on Pathfinder a couple months ago. Tarionz Cousin has some good advice. With my son, I had him describe the character he wanted to play. He wanted to be a good version of a villain from one of his video games. The character fought with a sword and summoned monsters. I had...

The spell is not Empowered Flame Strike or Divine Metamagic Empowered Flame Strike. The spell is Flame Strike so, no, you can't do that, period.

Here's a good source: The Steampunk Tribune It's not gaming-centered, but it is good inspiration.

Looks like a fun game. I've joined in, too, so +5 xp. :)

This is some cool thread necromancy! Great maps of my favorite setting.

Definitely my sympathies to all who were laid off. It's not much fun and this job market sucks across the board.

I was going to post that link, too. I don't think Mearl's post is all that theoretical any more. I think it's very much a prelude to a new edition, or at least a *major* 4e shakeup.

Yeah, a little birdie on Facebook said it wasn't by choice. I may not have liked 4e, but I'm sorry for anyone and everyone laid off. I know how much that sucks. :(

Well, it depends on what you've got that you want to use. Most of your spells, feats, monsters, and adventures are probably just fine. Most magic items should be fine, too. Classes and prestige classes would be the main area where I'd say dump 3e for Pathfinder. CMD/CMB gives one unified...

That is neat looking, indeed. :)

I'd say that the article is a lead-up to 5e. Either that, or WotC is going to switch to Pathfinder and Mearls is doing a REALLY slow lead up to that bombshell. ;)

Looks like it would be "Down-to-Earth Divinity", issue 54. Page 6, if I understand how the index works. So 1e, but just barely. The index also reminded me of "The Merry Month of... Mirtul?", issue 47. Another fund one. I loved that early stuff. :)
