    Pathfinder 1E Sell me on Pathfinder!

    Runestar, could you cite some examples? Yes, wizard class benefits from a few new features, however in addition to those, better items cost more and most no-save-insta-kills come with a save. And that "free metamagic" is a limited use ability of medium-to-high-level wizards of a single school...

    So how's Kingmaker working out?

    The slow down occurs mostly due to playing encounters in the old-fashioned way - i.e. meet a monster, vanquish a monster. If you spice the monster with some personality, or allow your characters to hire someone else to do exploration for you (i.e. act like a proper ruler of a growing kingdom)...

    Pathfinder 1E Sell me on Pathfinder!

    THE GOOD 1. This is still your game. You can do stuff with it without worrying of being sued. You can use OGL to freely contribute. And you know, that if someone gets a great idea, they can sell it. Recent OGL non-Paizo additions of great value to my library: Slumbering Tsar, SORD PF, Sunken...

    Acrobatics skill questions/critiques

    I was wrong regarding speed cost while tumbling - you just double the movement cost for squares you tumble through. For more detailed explanation, see third post. Regards, Ruemere

    Another Acrobatics question

    Sigh. It's my turn to apologize. I've made a mistake... Here is the crucial part of Acrobatics I forgot to mention: In other words, moving through threatened square while using Acrobatics halves the speed OR increases check DC by 10 (and you move at full speed). The consequences are as...

    First of all, here is a Combat section excerpt you need to familiarize yourself with: Also, you need this part of Acrobatics skill descirption: [DELETED ORIGINAL EXPLANATION due to errors - for better explanation see below] Regards, Ruemere

    Acrobatics skill questions/critiques

    50% chance to tumble translates into 50% chance of opponent getting an AoO, which in turn needs to hit you, and, even if hit, the damage caused may be unable to prevent you from completing your action. The odds are still on your side, only you may get hit from time to time (do not forget, that...

    Acrobatics skill questions/critiques

    Only, if you use Acrobatics to perform move. I know it sounds weird, but that's how it is phrased. A sane GM would probably require an Acrobatics check to avoid falling off probably (i.e. you move as through standard Difficult Terrain, but without extra caution - you lose safety margin, but you...

    Namesake Beast Build

    "Minotaur" means actually "Bull of Minos". "Rhinokerōs" is a Latin transliteration of "Rhinoceros". You may want to review the name in the light of its etymology. ---- Regarding statblock: 1. For its CR, it appears to be weaker than Minotaur (smaller reach, worse armor class), though not by...

    So how's Kingmaker working out?

    I'm running my campaign in a similar way - I gather story seeds and throw them to the winds. Then, once the PCs interacted with them somehow (through series of loose encounters), I tend to develop some of them further. The players are happy, as they feel the world changing through their actions...

    Can a druid take a T-REx at 1st level? Does it scale?

    Druid's animal companions, as per RAW of Pathfinder PRD, are limited. There is no T-Rex on the list. However, as per Bestiary, additional companions are possible (the information is listed at the end of creature's entry). There we can find info on T-Rex companion: Finally, base stats:Class...

    Military Campaign

    Depends heavily on type of military forces in question. Also, the position of characters may change over time. You may want to assume that characters are not allowed to keep the spoils at all, however they are being equipped as per expected mission type. In addition, particularly successful...

    Pathfinder 1E Gauging interest in a romero style zombie setting for Pathfinder fantasy, not modern

    No worries. The only thing I can offer, are opinions (and some reasoning to back them up). As most auditors say - we are making recommendations based on current state of affairs. Glad to hear that there is a development going on. Here is where you are strongly advised to have a look at...

    Wishing for Immortality (Unaging actually)?

    Only a GM is aware of limitations of Wish. For example, in Scarred Lands, two NPCs are said to pursue immortality, however the Wish spells allowed them only to stave off age penalties and gain perfect health. Implication is that Wish cannot grant unaging. That said, if you Wish to Reincarnate...

    I need the name of a Powerful Air Elemental

    Whenever I need to come with a proper name for a grand creature, I usually go for descriptive names, with a simpler "use name" and more elaborate version for arcane or court purposes. Of late, a powerful elemental danced over plains of rock and salt, causing dust to rise up and form storms of...

    Pathfinder 1E Gauging interest in a romero style zombie setting for Pathfinder fantasy, not modern

    I have had a look at your site. Allow me to share a few comments. 1. There are no "faces" and sites to start playing from. "Faces" - public figures capable of initiating various plots, sponsoring adventurers, starting wars, representing factions. "Sites" - cities, countries, important locales...

    Pathfinder 1E Gauging interest in a romero style zombie setting for Pathfinder fantasy, not modern

    There is a limited supply of bodies to create zombies. Dead flesh tends to decay pretty fast. Slow zombies are slow, and under heroic system of d20, are unlikely to persevere. Fantasy world cities are unlikely to sustain cities large crowds, much less large numbers of zombies. Zombies are weak...
