I've had an ongoing Pathfinder AP subscription for quite some time (including buying those first few I missed, excluding Second Darkness), subscribed for both 4e Scales of War and ENWorld's own Zeitgeist, own all of 4e's H,P, and E series, bought every hardback adventure from 3.0 on (i.e...

I really like the new Exhaustion rules from the new packet, and I think they have a lot of room to be expanded upon. I spent some time playing around with the rules to develop something that covers those 4e and 3.X/Pathfinder corner cases where the penalty for failure is best modeled by...

Personally, I find the proposed "Legendary" tag for very special adversaries analgous to the "Artifact" tag for magic items. An item that is an Artifact is a magic item that is very special, flavorful, and breaks all the rules for conventional magic items. A creature that is Legendary is a...

I read it daily. It is a good compilation of all the goings on.

After some thought, I think that GX.Sigma makes a good point with regards to my proposed skill system. It is difficult for me to come up with a scenario where I wouldn't allow "Athletic" on most strength checks. Note that 4e saw this to some extent as well (i.e. you'll always use Endurance as...

Crossposted to WotC Forums: Here. I’m not very enthusiastic about the direction the skill system has taken during the most recent packet. Narrow skills, each tied to one specific ability score, make it difficult for backgrounds and class concepts to cover every area of minimal competency you...

7 Neth 4709 (9:14:45) Fire Pit, Crypt of the Everflame, Serpent Gorge, 40 Miles South of Kassen, Southern Fangwood, Nirmathas As Snaggle moves through and past the enveloping shadow, the creature tries to drain him once more. The kobold fights his way across the room, but shadowy tendrils...

7 Neth 4709 (9:14:42) [Round 3] Fire Pit, Crypt of the Everflame, Serpent Gorge, 40 Miles South of Kassen, Southern Fangwood, Nirmathas As its potential victims begin fleeing its domain, the shadow moves in to finish off Snaggle, attempting to drain every drop of life still remaining in the...

Your resolve pays off. Everyone sees a dagger, in remarkable condition despite the fire, rise from the flames, before darting across the room to land in Gamble's outstretched palm. The leather grip has been charred to almost nothing, and the handle is very warm to the touch. The blade, which is...

Another tendril-like arm of the shadow snakes its way away from the dark cloud, through the lighter fire-smoke, and towards Gamble. The trail of clawed shadow begins coiling around the outstretched arm of the concentrating bard. Suddenly, the claws strike into the gnome's arm, causing him to...

7 Neth 4709 (9:14:36) [Round 2] Fire Pit, Crypt of the Everflame, Serpent Gorge, 40 Miles South of Kassen, Southern Fangwood, Nirmathas The shadow slowly advances towards the retreating kobold, floating up next to both Snaggle and Gamble. The halfling and lion pair that dart in and out of the...

Toilday, 24 Desnus, 4712 AR (21:21:04) Lower Hold, The Wormwood, Unknown Waters, Off the Coast of Garund, Inner Sea Region, Golarion You stay and watch the game for a little while longer. It seems that Barefoot Samms is in a very good mood after her first win. Though her luck doesn't hold over...

Don't forget your -2 penalty from all the smoke. In this case, you still hit.

You've discovered the location of both faint magical auras. One emanates from an item in the fire, and the other from the Shadow. Though you cannot tell the school to which item is aligned, the Shadow definitely has an aura of unholy necromantic air about it. It seems latent necromantic magic...

7 Neth 4709 (9:14:30) [Round 1] Fire Pit, Crypt of the Everflame, Serpent Gorge, 40 Miles South of Kassen, Southern Fangwood, Nirmathas The shadow continues its advance towards the exposed kobold, its form detaching from the walls and floor. It floats away from the wall, rising up and above...

7 Neth 4709 (9:14:21) Fire Pit, Crypt of the Everflame, Serpent Gorge, 40 Miles South of Kassen, Southern Fangwood, Nirmathas Gamble's continued channeling of his ritual divines the presence of two separate auras of magic, though both are not overly powerful (faint). The suddenly suspicious...

Toilday, 24 Desnus, 4712 AR (18:24:40) Lower Hold, The Wormwood, Unknown Waters, Off the Coast of Garund, Inner Sea Region, Golarion As the others continue to an eventual Samms win, Dungrin notes, “Sorry to see you leave so soon, son. You're welcome back anytime." -10 gp

7 Neth 4709 (9:14:15) Fire Pit, Crypt of the Everflame, Serpent Gorge, 40 Miles South of Kassen, Southern Fangwood, Nirmathas As you walk further into the room, you discover that the smoke cloud hanging in this room is actually quite harsh, causing eyes to water and breathing to become...

Dungrin nods, and says “Let's play." Dungrin, Giffer, Samms, and Tilly all rattle around their dice and slam their cups down on the crate you are using for a table. The gnome Giffer, one of the story-tellers from last night, is somewhat eccentric in that she uses a chicken skull instead of a...
