    Mounted combat.

    Does anyone feel like helping me verify mounted combat :P 1) Rider does ride check, mount does move, rider does full-round attack (rider does ride check), mount does move. Does this check? 2) Rider does move (equivalent), mount does standard (equivalent), rider does standard (equivalent)...

    Actually, good can be had from bad. It is interesting how strongly men can stand to prove that they are right. It is not bad, and I am blessed that things do make me sad and that my heart quickly turns to things that make me feel right. The important thing is to respect one another's opinions...

    Oh my, what a surprise, you are all right and I am mistaken. Guess what, we had a breakthrough today. Rather than to metagame with sleep darts we are going to learn how to maintain a balance and be more wary with the materials provided. I refuse to be demoralized by such nitpicks who have...

    Synthetist is Shameful.

    Here is an example build of level 10 synthesist provided by Thalin from Paizo forums. If we use my basic melee formula (which does not account for complex melee feats) we get: BAB*5= 33(5)= 165 #of attack*5= 5(5)= 25 max damage (non crit)= 43 max hit points= 97+92= 191 base speed= (don't know...

    Tylerman, ease up on the condescending. I can appreciate that you wish for an intelligent debate. And I think you appreciate my resolve in this, which is good. I have reached out to the community for help on this matter. I have come out smashing and that's okay, I got your attention. If in...

    Synthetist is Shameful.

    I can appreciate that you have an image to uphold. But whenever someone from a forum picks apart what I say sentence by sentence, ah that's an old flowchart technique that doesn't value the spirit of the letter. I value what you say the most in your closing comments not because you are...

    This is actually pretty cool internet experience, I feel like I fell in a pond of little fish that are all taking little bites out of me. Good thing I have my tower of Id. Admin here, once again. Folks -- and this applies to everyone -- don't bicker. If you see a problem, please report it with...

    Yer kidding right? C'mon, don't patronize me ok, if I wanted to I'd just fill a couple ranks of level 1 gunslingers and have done with them. I've already posted the bad boy uptop, oh, did I mention that he was playing a Paizo 3rd party bear ursine that gave him improved grapple as a first...

    Nah, critical mass is a scientific term that refers to when something has obtained enough mass to go nuclear. In the case of the synthesist I am using this analogy to demonstrate that by building a piece it can outshine other pieces. You know, I don't really care if the summoner has better...

    Synthetist is Shameful.

    Bacris, I can tell you are a prominent poster here on enworld and I just don't want to get dragged into a debate based on justifiable arguments. The synthesist is broken because it is easily exploitable, can tank it's physical attribs to maximize its spell casting (particularly nasty in...

    Synthetist is Shameful.

    How bout instead of making an effort to protect another player character they make an effort to play their own characters. Unfortunately, I have seemingly antagonized some members of this forum. I do not know of any normal character that has 15 attacks, so I don't understand the relevance of...

    Synthetist is Shameful.

    heh heh, yeah or how "bad" the GM is. A bunch of (low-level) gunslingers flanking the summoner and needing only touch attack. That reminds me of a wicked GM I once had that plagued a hapless player with a dimensional spider, every session. If played correctly, every other player should be *at...

    Synthetist is Shameful.

    My formula is quick and dirty admitted, but it is effectively efficient in comparative demonstration. Re: My biggest gripe with the proposed advantage of the action economy of the summoner vs. synthesist is that even though there is double the actions of the summoner combo, there is also a...

    This is really great guys, I didn't expect so much learning from my first post on this wonderful board. Thank ya. Now then, re: the barb uptop, he is very cool and in my books is a great character build as he is well balanced and can handle multiple combat types. He would suffer in a white...

    I certainly appreciate the feedback on this subject, gentlemen. I want to stay away from teaching lessons. As a GM I uphold that my responsibility to the game is to project a balance for the best game in the world. For those few moments that a balance is achieved, I can then spectate a...

    Well yes I am the GM and I did have a chat with him at Mall food court. He's a good player and I like to invest the time in good players for maybe they don't know that they're doing something wrong and who knows eh, a bit of effort goes a long way. So yeah, I explained the overshadowing...

    Its good that you feel my hate, the jedi is strong in you and I appreciate your compassionate. Yet, I should mention that I programmed Unity 3d for 40 hours straight this week and it is my lack of patience that is my bad. I did read the section on Power Gamer page 94 of the GMG and that...

    I have a mind to write to Paizo for such a poor addition, that I will <beep> if they continue writing such supplements that obsolete their core rules. I have a player that is level 9 summoner synthetist. He is fused/hidden inside s a dragon eidolon that can carry 1 mounted archer and 1 rogue...
