Hi there. I'm in the process of switching from pathfinder over to 5e. I don't necessarily like 5e that much, but i can't stand how slow the combat has become in pathfinder at level 14. That said, i usually run combat encounters that are very similar to MMORPG fights, so any spell or ability...

That's exactly what i need right now :) I'm buying it now!

Hi there. I am organizing a survival-based zombie game and i would like to implement weapon durability rules. The system i am using (AFMBE) uses d10 mechanic to reach a target number (like d&d). I thought of something along this line: - each weapon has a max durability value, and a "repair...

I don't know your GM nor your story, but, i wouldn't assume surrendering is a sure way to get a CR-appropriate chance of escape. Maybe you are lucky and you get one. Maybe you are captured by mindflayers and you get your mind wrecked and you'll never remember who you were, ending your story...

Of course you can, with any piece of software. Print screen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And since you rolled initiative, the higher one goes first. Readied action make no difference. If you can act in the surprise round, or act first in the standard round, then you can ready an action now. So, previous readied actions make no difference. Keep in mind that if the enemy KNOWS you...

You know, that's something i can't get into my players' mind too. I think you cannot infact ready actions if you are not in combat. Here's a demonstration: You are in front of a closed door. You ready an action to shoot your bow at the first creature you see once your friend opens the door...

It look WAY to complicated to keep track of in game. You definately don't want any more scribbling to be done when you heal, or it's going to slow down play. How about something simple, like, each time you find yourself below 25% total hp, you gain 1 residual damage. It doesn't need to be...

I don't know if Pathfinder changed the rules, but i believe that: You are correct that "Flanking" is not a status effect; but a creature that is Flanked, also loses his dexterity bonus to AC. Rogues can sneak attack creatures that are denied their dexterity bonuses to AC. Net effect is that a...

That's like saying, "if microsoft didn't create windows, we would all be using DOS". That may be true, but if it was, then we would be using an ancient system with a lot of bugs and very little potential. DOS is AD&D like 3.5/PF is Windows XP. (i would regard 4e as Vista... but anyway) It is...

About wizards, i think you they really need a way of scribing new spells into their spellbook. The DMG states that writing a new spell costs 100gp x spell level, plus about 50gp x spell for the privilege of copying from another wizard spell book. I'd waive the 100gp per page part (since you...

I think this amounts to bad communication. To me, it would be clear that that was an RP encounter. Like you see in the movies, the good guy storming bruised and battered and "threatening" the bad guy without actually harming him. However the scene failed. You should have hinted more that that...

You are then deciding that whatever they do, they have no chance to clear their name. I don't like it. Besides, you'd better tell them the scope of the adventure, lest you end up with paladins and other characters that don't want to go evil.

My current campaign is low-magic, high magitech. Most magitech uses earth crystals as a base. These grow from the ground, can be extracted and used as a battery. When put in the ground again, in a few days it will be recharged. - Cars use these crystals as electricty. You have 1 crystal in the...

Ask him if the reason he wants to play is unconditioned flight. If yes, and it bothers you, don't allow it. If not, put limit on his flight that are the same as the flying mount. Invent something like oxygen fatigue or air pressure.

Have him make a pact. During the fight with that enemy, and only that fight, he shall gain great power (give him for example, unlimited spontaneous 8th level slots of sor/wiz spells). His alignment however changes to evil, and the soul of the destroyed enemy will seek to destroy him out while...

Well actually the dragon was from pathfinder, so it had other utilities, for example conjuring a sandstorm in the desert, obfuscating all sight :P That's worse than lightning or acid!

Yeah, but Hide in plain sight allows you to well, hide in plain sight. I always thought that once you hide (behind cover) at least for the first round that you are moving out of cover, you still retain that stealth. Otherwise melee rogues could almost never get a sneak attack from stealthing...

Except the part with perception, i don't see much difference in the skill. How have you played it until now? In my game, if a rogue hides behind a colum, he can walk stealthily to the enemy even if there is no cover and attack him, granting a sneak attack if he was unseen. Was it not correct...

I got two boss fights that i'm most proud of. 1) Blue dragon. Actually disguised as black dragon to confuse the PC's. They had to summon it using a stone, and then defeat it. This was staged in Dragonfall (pathfinder module). There is a big central tower inside a desert crater. PCs have...
