How game breaking is magic at higher levels? I've heard is said many times now, that spellcasters at higher levels completely dominate game sessions. There's a spell for most obstacles, and there are spells that copy or even do better what another class can do.

What level progression does it top out at and does it suffer from 'magic users being the best class' at higher levels syndrome?

Not a good idea it seems Thanks for the feedback.

Do all classes get the same number of advances per level? I ask because I was thinking about doing away with the level progression where everything goes up at once, and making it more gradual. 'If' everyone does have the same number of advances (i.e. hit points, attack bonus, Fort etc save...

True. I was just concerned that because the calculator answer differed from the table's, that the table was somehow wrong.

Page 398: Table 12-3 I checked what 6 CR 12 creatures would be on table 12-3. The calculator said 115,200 but the table says 102,400. Table 12-3 was never meant to be mathematically correct? I mean, if I want to know what 8 CR 15 creatures are, just look it up on the table and forget calculators?

Ah right, 'any' line does make a difference. Missed that one. Sorry :blush:

I don't understand the diagram on page 194. Specifically where it says Kyra (no. 3) cannnot draw a line toward the ogre. Sure she can't, because the lines chosen are clearly obstructed by obstacles. What I don't understand is why they didn't choose the 45 degree angle/line that neatly bisects...

Is that right?

I apologise because I think I have been a bit stupid here. I did the calculation on the calculator (as mentioned above), and the result wasn't the same as what's written in tabel 12-3 (on page 398). I think that's where my mistake came in. The calculator result doesn't need to be the same as...

Good points. Though I'm probably looking at this from the wrong angle, I can't for the life of me think why Paizo would use such a a flaky guideline. I mean, my very first attempt at using their advice, came up with the wrong result.

Don't mean to be a pain here, but the xp award on PAGE 398 is still bothering me. To recap... Using the chart, 4 CR8 creatures (worth 4,800 XP each) are equivalent to a CR 12 creature (worth 19,200 XP). Nice and simple, the math works perfectly: 4,800 x 4 = 19,200. Using the same formula...

Ok thanks for the information. I was a bit confused with the 'Trained Only' skill, because it was a Class Skill for my character.

I have a Class Skill that is designated ‘Trained Only’, but I have not put any ranks into it. can I still use the skill?

Are Paizo planning to release a new edition of Pathfinder soon? I ask because I'm thinking of buying the hardback and a few others too. EDIT: Or what's the latest print edition that's out? Thanks

Thanks all for the advice

How are Feats dealt with in npc stat blocks in adventure modules? For example, I took this from an early level adventure by Paizo: Does the npc stat block include all modifiers to statistics due to the feats? And more importantly, if not, how do you manage to keep the game moving if you...

I'd say that's wrong, has to be.

Ok thanks :D

Rogues are not proficient with shields. How's this work again, they can't use shields at all?
