This strikes me as kind of funny in and of itself. One of my players had been playing a 4E Drow Avenger for a while named Batelf. When I told him about Mites, he said, "So, if I take Batelf and cross him with Papa Smurf I get a Mite?" A name like "The Mite-y Blue Wizard" seems kind of smurfy...

I've been playing with a rather regular group for about 3 or 4 years now, and we just recently switched to a new system (CoC). An acquanintence of mine asked to join. I personally can't stand him, but he's a great role-player, so I said sure. Not such a good idea. Not only does he make crude...

Alright, thanks. I'm still a little new at this. I've house-ruled races for 1st edition AD&D, 4e, BRP, and T&T, but not yet for Pathfinder. Now I have a project to help fill up my wads of free time.

Aight, I'll have to take a look at it. I have kind of a soft spot for horror, and I noted a number of scenarios featuring those elements, but I did also see this one, which seemed almost geared towards an introductory game in the style of classic D&D.

I'm just getting started with Pathfinder, and somewhere (maybe in the core rulebook?) I saw a list of suggested alternate races. One of them was Mite. Me and my players took a look at Mites, and thought that they might make for a nice, quirky one-shot. I looked around, but wasn't able to find...

I'm interested in getting started with Pathfinder, and was wondering what a good one-shot published scenario might be to ease myself and my players into the game.

That sounds a little bit closer to what I was thinking, but since I don't have that, I think I may attempt to forge on the path I had, at least until I can get ahold of the specific book you referenced. This is roughly what I was thinking; The DM decides beforehand what situations in his/her...

The sanity rules listed here seem a little... sparse, but maybe that's just me. I am a little unwilling to use a system which restricts itself as much as this official one, since I feel insanity can be as effective/integral as damage, and as such deserves a slightly more robust system. My...

My current group has been together for a few years. We started with 1st edition AD&D and moved on to 4E as soon as it came out. We've been playing 4E ever since, but me and some of my players have begun to grow quite tired of its structure and overall theme (the rest of the group loves it)...

I've been debating this subject myself, and have been leaning towards a very simple solution, since that's ussually what works for my players. My plan is to determine a sanity score in a way similar to hit points, and then require saving throws versus fear against particularly terrifying...

I'm currently running a similar campaign, where the characters are aided by a human villain whose goal is to free a great demon prince to destroy the world, but the players are convinced he's serving a good diety, and that the real good guy is attampting to free the demon, whereas in fact the...

Sorry, I actually don't know what you're talking about. I made the odd jump straight from 1st (with a little 2nd) into 4th.

Did you considert possibly making it a feat to have all firearms have the 'brutal' attribute? The damage output is already fairly large compared to other basic weapons. Or maybe keep the brutal, but reduce the damage dice? I realize that this may make firearms seem a little less imposing...

I was inspired by Tarionzcousin's thread discussing alignments in 4E, but decided my post would be more fitted to its own thread. I was one of the people upset by the reduction of the alignment list, but decided to flow with it for a while. When I started my new campaign, however, I...

Scarecrow Flavor The background and flavor included in the document have never actually been used; my original campaign idea to introduce these was abandoned shortly after I wrote this, and have instead used Oz as a way to introduce it to my players. Once I finally get the new document up I...

So, a ranged character is equally as skilled with a bow as he would be with a musket, or are they seperate?

Can player's take proficiency just the same as with normal weapons? Can a player start the game with, say, simple firearm proficiency, if they want to play a gunslinger type character? And how common are they? Can a basic firearm attack be used in place of a basic ranged attack, or not? In...

Thanks. I was just afraid that their damage output may be higher. I'll probly still end up restatting them a bit, giving one or two of them divine powers to fit in with the adventure, or equiping them with firearms from the setting, but nothing too major.

I realized that I gave them a Resist 5 to 'Fear damage', which obviousley doesn't exist. This should be a +5 vs. fear saving throws. My original document became corrupted, but I'm working on uploading a new file.

I've been running a 4e campaign set in Oz for a while now, and am planning on running a small side quest involving a clan of zealously religious Badgers fighting to protect their most holy artifact from a crack team of goblin sabateurs. I was thinking of pulling the Badder stats from Gamma...
