Why not have the ravenblade be the mark of a herald for 'the people' it might be a fine blade, even magic, but it's biggest claim is that it is a sign of wisdom and status. Perhaps it is only fully revealed in the hands of a champion. Champions become hybrid lycanthrops for ritual battle and...

There's also the possibility of a collaborator. Someone is buying\selling to the hobgobs. Shiny weapons or food or more food or ???? Could be any unscrupulous character, perhaps an evil cleric looking for some muscle. Could also be some hauntings in the old temple - whose side would they be on...

Next I want to take only one level of fighter and then nine levels of wizard but have the fighters full BAB!

Some of this must happen I think every DM has to spend some time tempering the results of player actions. Simply, the situation is this. You describe a situation to the best of your ability and the player appears to understand. Upon seeing the players actions you realize that the player has...

I'd be careful about pickpocketing the lenses. The party will have a great deal of things that are important and under less scrutiny than their current thing. The pickpocket might steal a book with information from the shopkeeper. That would mean they have to chase him to get the book and the...

1 - The priest's brother has just become a lich. In an act of generosity the brother has said 'I'll come by and show you my new found powers'. The priest does not want any of his flock to be killed by his lich brother. He secretly hopes he can convince his bro to go away and never return. 2 -...

A lot would depend on how formulaic airship making was in your game world. Do you bind a fire elemental? Are they all the same power? Do you have a lighter than air material? Soarwood? Airstone? etc... In the absence of a system I think DM's should wing it with found\rescued\taken ingredients...

I"m trying to mix up the choice of races a bit and get the players to connect with the world map. Too often the characters are chosen based on the +/- of rules and not on geographical loyalties etc.... sigurd

I'm toying with a campaign where the players start in a town but come from a random quadrant of a world map. They'd likely have a couple of rolls to make and the rolls would locate a continent (bias for the local one) and then an area on that continent. They would only be able to choose a race...

I'm a little worried about skill variety and the promotion of new feats like 'craft left handed bludgeoning weapon'. In 3.5 publishers had the tendency to add a skill or a craft when they added a cool item. A typical example is 'craft poison' supplanting 'craft alchemy'. If you specialize too...

I like that. Some way to congratulate the player for the somewhat reckless use to the token.

You are right that that is the most painful side of the limitation. The extra spell expertise is also reasonable given the focus outside of core spellcasting. If the core spellcaster is too good to give up the players wont. If the prestige class is preferable players will take it. I don't think...

I hate to buck the trend but its a 500gp magic item with one use. If it can carry 8 horses and gear for 32 men its not small. They'd have the advantage that they could carry it to a clear bit of river (even in a hurricane) and activate it for a very short violent trip. It would begin completely...

I don't see its any different than letting a character continue his best BAB or saves or skill total. For an NPC it won't break the game but it removes one of the only penalties built into the prestige class system. Sigurd

Its part of the balance feature for prestige classes. How unbalancing it would be depends on how necessary it was in the first place. I'd never do it - there should be some benefit for staying with a core casting class. You should have more time for learning magic if you're not specializing in...

I wouldn't be overly worried about this but I think its a really bad deal for the sorcerer. There are much better things to burn feats on. Considering you can't build a spellbook I wouldn't scribe. Buy. Yes its more expensive but its a good contact, a source of plot, and a reason to go to town...

I think it makes a lot of sense to give your treasure to your church and your church bankrolls you through your various item levels. I wouldn't want to simply have a shopping list for the deity to transmute, improve or bless etc... Deities have more important things to do than our shopping, even...

Yes Geeks and Gentlemen want to know... We hope it went well. Spare some details?

It's from appendix four of the the Bestiary. I'm glad its working for ya. The Core Book says: On the paizo forums J. Jacobs has said: I don't want to hijack this thread or tell you not to do anything you enjoy. I am suggesting that at some stage there may be better rules for monster...

I can also recommend two pdfs from Darkquest Publishing. Hoards - good all round monster book Land and Home Guide - talks about land as an alternate treasure.
