    Redundant Rogue Talents? And Major Magic.

    I guess then your respect drops for most combat oriented RPG systems players(1E, 2E, 3E, 3.5E, Pathfinder, 4E, MM, Hero...). This is a least common denominator to measure classes by, right wrong or indifferent. Do classes like the Rogue get the shaft in this respect, YES, but they are not...

    Hero Lab - do you use it?

    I use both HeroLabs and PC-Gen(caveat emptor, I create data for PC-Gen so may bias my opinion, but I don't think so). Both are very capable character generators. Let me break them down: HeroLabs Pros Nice user interface Supports multiple RPG systems Export to d20Pro and MapTools Current with...

    Good starting adventure

    I agree with the other two about Dagger Rock(also, it was just updated to fix some problems and clarify some things). However, I would also add Crypt of the Everflame. It is a great module to start off playing Pathfinder and is good to lead into other modules or into say Kingmaker(although, I...

    Eladrin, Tieflings, and Dragonborns

    Over on the Paizo forums in the Homebrew subforum, someone has already converted most of the 4E races to Pathfinder. I have a player in my Legacy of Fire campaign playing a Dragonborn Sorceror using this conversion. He is on par with other sorcerors I have played with in Pathfinder, so to me...

    D&D 3E/3.5 How to run spells in 3.5 OGL/Pathfinder

    Do you DM with any technology at the table? If so, I would use either PC-Gen/GM-Gen or Herolab. They both allow you to preload the NPC's and PC's. Then you can cast the spells and add the buff's and such directly in the program. It also allows you to see what the spell does directly in both...

    Legacy of Fire Question

    Class Name Region Monk Sajan Osirion(Egypt) Cleric Kyra Qadira(Saudi Arabia) If I were you, I would play as a Human or Half-Orc Inquisitor of Cayden Cailean. Cayden Cailean allows you to pick from two of the best domains(Travel/Liberation). They are very...

    The Adventure Paths: The Best Ones Are?

    All of the AP's up to and including Legacy of Fire are 3.5 rules and not Pathfinder. So the DM will need to convert them to Pathfinder. However, to rate the AP's based on flavor/mechanics/appeal/style, here is my list with 1 being the best: 1. Legacy of Fire(sorry I loved Al-Qadim and...

    Learning How to Be a DM

    Join Pathfinder Society whether it be online or at your local FLGS, they will help you learn the rules. While playing, take notes when a player does something you don't know the rules about and look them up or ask the DM afterwards if he/she can explain them to you. Also, krupintupple's...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Adventure Path

    Second IronWolf's advice. However, here is my $0.02: 1) Rise of the Runelords; I had lot's of fun playing in this AP(have not been able to finish and if someone is DMing this, I would love to finish). This AP has a good hook to get the PC's investigating and some horror. It also can play on...

    Best VTT for PF "load 'n go"?

    I have used all of the VTT's mentioned above and others. Here is my comparison review: Ease of use: 1) MapTools 2) d20Pro 3) FGII Features: 1) FGII 2) MapTools 3) d20Pro Price 1) MapTools 2) d20Pro 3) FGII Portability(Use on different OS's) 1) MapTools & d20Pro (both use JAVA which can be...

    APG - Hero Points

    I am using Hero Points in my Legacy of Fire game, but not RAW. I have combined it with the SpesMagna "Rewarding Roleplaying" rules and cut down some of the bonuses and penalties and stripped the removal of conditions. I also will up the amount when the character moves from one attack per full...

    Pathfinder 1E What do you think of Paizo's Adventure Paths so far?

    Here is my take on them: Rise of the Runelords If you do not like solving mysteries and puzzles, steer clear! I however really enjoy it. Curse of the Crimson Throne I have only got to play like the last half of this AP and it is fun, but not great IMHO as we are on the last bit and...

    Rise of the Runelords: Difficulty Level (Spoilers included)

    I am a player in a RotRL games(we are past where these spoilers are). We have a party of 5 and some encounters are murderous and some too easy, which a good campaign should be. A party of three with no heavy hitter is going to have a horrendous time especially when they get to the second and...

    DDI Character Builder and OS X (or Linux)

    The problem is .NET is used for the CB so until either WINE or MONO work 100%, it will not work. Although, you could see if winetricks has advanced enough to install the 3.5 .NET and SP's in WINE. This should work.

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Damage Statistics Generator

    I am looking for a program that shows the best weapon damage based on multiple criteria. Rogue with Weapon Finesse, TWF and +1 Keen Rapier and +1 Keen Dagger hits on average for 10 points of damage and crits 75% for a extra 8 points of damage. However, the same Rogue switches out the +1 Keen...

    Which virtual tabletop do you use?

    I have used lots of VTT's and I have to say MapTools is by far the best out there! Due to it's strong community, there are rule sets out there for Pathfinder, 3E/3.5E/4E, Call of Cthulhu, Savage Worlds, Hero, Dark Heresy, Shadowrun, SW Saga, Hackmaster, World of Darkness and NWoD(just off the...

    Maptools question..

    Raise thread! To add maps, follow DMFTodd's advise. To move maps from one campaign to another, you will need B69 or higher and in preferences turn on the "Enable map imort/export" on the Application tab. This will save out the currently selected map with every object/token/text/... to a rpmap...

    Pathfinder 1E What project would you like Paizo to tacke next for Pathfinder?

    This I don't want. Reason being is that it leaves nothing to the imagination. Just take Forgotten Realms or Dragon Lance for example. Every game you play it seems you turn the corner and, "Oh... well Hello there Drizzt!" or "Nice to meet you Tanis." WotC didn't destroy Forgotten Realms for...

    Pathfinder 1E What project would you like Paizo to tacke next for Pathfinder?

    Yes to both! IMHO Paizo and Open Design are the Campaign Setting/Adventure powerhouses and stand head and shoulders above the rest. This is what I want to see from Paizo. More AP's revolving around unique Golarion places/people, more chronicles and companions. The crunch is fine as is, with...

    Stat Plots

    @Psychotic Jim: Thanks for the group of links! I only knew of Perrams(which is great!) and they all seem very useful.
