Okay, the names make sense to some degree. Thanks for posting them here. This is where I feel that the game has gone too far though. Let me ask this, are there specific game rules that work with these "abstract" role names? For instance, are there any instances of a power or ritual that...

There is a thread recently wher M. Cook used the term "lurker" and there was twenty or more posts here debating his meaning of the term. Was it the actual creature named the lurker (aptly named) or was it an "ambusher?" I concede that there may not be a correct term for the role that the...

Why doesn't the word leader mean leader? This and many of the other terms used are unclear and I've always thought that not using clear English was a problem. Words have specific meanings; why use the term leader if it does not imply 'leader'?

There is a 9th level spell Duplicate that allows a character essentially another them, that has the same equipment and spell abilities as the original. I have questions about 3.x game mechanics. The spell says clearly that the original and the duplicate share the same mind, but in all other...

One of my PC's has acquired (I have no idea where or when this was given) a book that grants a +5 on any Knowledge check, given that you have enough time to read it. This item might be from the Magic Item Compendium. I have a problem with it. The group just passes is to each other whenever...

I agree with you Frank. The cheese is high! I repeat, the cheese is high! Anyhow, I read the description of the counterspell ring, which rthen efers to counterspelling. The act of counterspelling says that the act of counterspelling breaks the spells as it is cast, not as it effects. It...

Here is a question that I just had come up in the game. A player has a Ring of Counterspells with a Greater Dispel Magic in it. The BBNPC casts an area Greater Dispel Magic on the group. Does the ring counter the whole spell, or just keep the spell from affecting them? Thanks, Aluvial

I appreciate the opinions. I just can't wrap my head around the element of water or fire as being solid at all. Earth, yes. Ice, unfortunately for my encounter, yes. But I'm houseruleing this one. Fire absolutely can slip through cracks, just as readily as air passes through them, and...

Ok, I have to agree, although I really wanted to say that all elementals have some trait of moving through small spaces because of their elemental makeup. Did anyone agree with me about the other elemental types? Fire, water, air, and the like should be able to get through. I really want...

I'm speaking of the barred 20' cage (with the 6" gaps) version of Forcecage. Adding a bit to my own discussion, I suppose this would be the same thing as if an earth elemental was moving through stone. You knew it was there (I don't know how, but you do; perhaps it ended its movement just...

Very cool. You should post that on planewalkers. Aluvial

If you were to try and capture an elemental in the 20' barred cage version of Forcecage, could it escape through the gaps? I could reasonably see that an air, a water, or a fire elemental could go through the gaps. I could even pretend to think that an earth elemental could "pour" through the...

Are these feats/abilities from the APG as well? I'm trying to figure this out, I've not used PF much, and need this guy quick at this point. I can't seem to find the Blighted Critical chain. Thanks again. Aluvial

I'm making a tough challenge for my PC's and want to use the anti-paladin. I think I will need all 20 levels, plus about 5 or so of Thrall of Orcus from Book of Vile Darkness. There are some prereqs for that prestige class, but other than that, are there any odd feats that I should consider...

The art makes the game. I haven't read the rules, but that art is what makes me all warm and fuzzy... nostalgia is AWESOME! Now I want to convert my game... again! Aluvial

I like it a lot. Very useful for quick generation. I'm going to try and adapt for NPC names.

I used this creature as a tomb protector a few times. I never made it mobile, but I always had it at the mid-point of the tomb guarding the door that led further in. Someone would usually get transported although I can't remember the instances except one... The group were moving through some...

How about most of the rules... I used to have the 2.0 rules down... ask me anything... I could almost quote the rule verbatim, and the players respected that. Same group 10 years later and I find that we look up the rules constantly, and for easy things too. What's a climb check when using...

I picked role-playing but now that I think about it a bit more, and after reading the other posts... I bet I would be a roller... The tactical options of combat have pushed us into that direction. We still role in the game, but when combat dominates the sessions, my group rolls. Aluvial
