Invest in the beginner box. It's amazing. http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/v5748btpy8osv I've been playing tabletop games for years, and it was invaluable to even experienced players.

Right, we're purposefully moving faster and I'm scaling up the encounters as such. I guess this just boils down to my inexperience as DM showing. I've not run anything past level 5 before, so it's a learning curve for me on how to run things.

As far as the Wolverines go, they seem pretty boss-awesome to me. 3 attacks at base +4, +2 for augment summoning, +2 for bardic performance, +2 for flanking bonii, so that's 3 +10s, at 4 wolverines. Even against an AC 23 bbeg, they've got pretty good chances. Add in an alignment template for...

I appreciate the advice. Maxing HP for the baddies I will definitely start doing, maybe even doubling them. I'll have to keep practicing to keep them from just being bloated bags of hp. The party was just as disappointed as I was. The suspense level was pretty high leading up to the bbeg, so...

I'm having a pretty difficult time making encounters challenging for my party. I need your help! They're a pretty optimized group, and nothing I do seems to challenge them. I'm using PF rules only for them, no 3.x stuff. My party consists of (all just dinged level 8): Human Fighter...

I'm starting up a new campaign where the PC's are going to be intentionally non-good. They're going to be dungeon delvers and tomb robbers, set in a desert setting. As such, I've got one that wants to play a Cleric of Aldinach. He's taking the Animal and Desert Domains. He asked me what I...

Awesome, thanks for the replies! I'll probably make him use a feat to get it, that seems to make the most sense. I don't want to start a precident of "you gave Johnny trapfinding for free, so can I get XXX for free?" Unfortunately, some of my group are that childish.

We looked at that, and he was interested in it, but wasn't too keen on giving up his Bardic Performance. It doesn't give Disable Device as a class skill though, so he'll always be behind a rogue. I'll suggest it to him again. We thought about giving up Well Versed, Versatile Performance...

I've got a player that wants to play a bard with a sort of Indiana Jones feel, very adventurous and specializing in dungeon crawling. The party is also lacking a "rogue" type. What would be a balanced way to give bard Disable Device as a class skill and Trapfinding as the rogue ability? I...

I'd discuss it with a player and take it on a case by case basis for Wisdom based casters. If the player wants to be a holy blacksmith type, performing service to his deity by arming his fellow holy warriors, sure, I'd allow it, assuming what he's creating uses his own spell list, and/or makes...

I'm brewing up a character for an upcoming campaign, and the party is lacking both a character with good "rogue" skills, i.e. disable device, umd, etc. and a ranged attacker. How viable would a summoner be with an archer eidelon? Assuming Level 5 Summoner (Half-Elf for extra evolution...

If this is an issue, I believe you have bigger fish to fry.

When I first rolled up this alchemist, I was going for the typical Dr. Jeckyl//Mr. Hyde style alchemist, focusing on melee damage, and wanting to be a secondary buffer/healer. As the party has settled in on their roles and players are getting comfortable, it's safe to say that I'm going to be...

I've thought a lot about switching up chirugeon for internal alchemist. It definitely seems to fit better, and chirugeon only provides a small benefit. I might possibly switch out heal for intimidate. I love the dazzling display feat, so might pick up that to compliment it. Intimidation...

The character in my upcoming Carrion Crown game is going to be G'nes't'ruk "Nester" the half-orc alchemist (lawful neutral). I took the Chirugeon (gives up most poison related abilities) and Vivisectionist (gives up bombs) archetypes, and plan to go heavily into the "Mr. Hyde" aspect of...

If I take the alchemist discovery that gives me 2 claw and a bite attack, the. Take toothy from the half-Orc to gain a bite attack, do I get both bite attacks, or only one?

I like the minion spawning idea. It eliminates the need for there to be a lever at all, when they solve the puzzle, the door opens. Perhaps the squares that aren't dominated spawn a minion, the squares that are dominated kill any minion thats on it. As I'm typing this I can see the encounter...

I'm planting a chessboard puzzle in a dungeon I plan on running with the party, and I'm not sure how to punish them for taking too long to figure it out. The puzzle concerns Queen's Domination on an 8x8 board. Here's a definition from Wikipedia. Domination: Given an n×n board, the domination...
