Fighters are proficient in all armor and all shields. They are also proficient in the only two existing categories of weapons. Why would a Fighter not be proficient in a Spiked Shield that he took of a Lizardfolks body?

So, what happens when a player with that feat uses a spiked shield he took of a Lizardfolk to "shove" somebody? A Stength based spiked shield is in the Lizardfolk stat block.

Take a look at Lizardfolk. Page 204 Monster Manual and/or page 35 Basic DMG. They have something really interesting in their gear, a spiked shield. Spiked Shield. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage. Judging from the attack bonus and...

Because tool proficiency is not actually a skill. It's a proficiency in a tool. You add your proficiency bonus to the roll, along with any relevant ability the GM calls for. A single tool set could be used with several different ability checks. For example, Jewels tools could use Dex for...

By doing that, you've done the best possible thing. You've given the GM the ability to create the Patron of his choice. When it visits you, and it WILL visit you, make sure you address him as Master. He might be insulted if he isn't shown proper respect.

Dungeons and Dragons is a role playing game. The fluff is the point of the game. The mechanics are there to help you get back to role playing faster, they are not the point of the game. It doesn't matter if you're looking at percentage tables, THAC0, or rolling with advantage, the rules are...

Data is not the plural of anecdote. Anyhow don't read too much into what I'm saying. I'm not saying I don't want PDFs. I'm not saying there aren't Pathfinder people here. I am saying, if I had the binary choice between having an Tablet/Phone app that replicates the ton of apps used at every...

Well, they're asking for the wrong thing. If I had to choose between having a simple phone app that does the kinds of things Pathfinder apps do at gaming tables OR having a PDF, I'd chose the phone app without hesitation. It's significantly more useful. I suspect part of the problem is that...

The rails in HoTDQ were exceptional. It drove me nuts while I ran it. Despite how linear the story progression was, once you got out of the Greenest area the GM had to put pretty much everything together himself. If you're going to run a choo choo train story line, you might as well draw out...

Why do people keep talking about PDF as a replacement for what Dungeonscape was supposed to do? I'm not saying having a PDF isn't a good idea, my iPad has been a godsend in Pathfinder and PDF has been part of that equation. Thing is, a PDF isn't the best thing to use at the gaming table...

Looking at the reviews I've seen of Rise of Tiamat, it's not even finished. The GM has to construct, from multiple sections in the book, a good part of the adventure. No thank you. HoTDQ was poorly written enough as it is. I don't need to run something that requires me to reconstruct the...

Not even two days after you wrote those words, Dungeonscape's officially licensed product was canceled.

My players chewed threw everything with little problems. When they asked Governor Nighthill for some heal potions, he sent them to the Red Headed Dwarf. He in turn sent them to the ready room for the sally port, where I rolled a d4 to determine the number of heal potions. They got two, that's...
