I'm generally cautious as a DM, and still a little shell-shocked from 3.5's ability to be broken with too much multiclassing and PrCs. That's why I just wanted it to apply to one class, so you can't be a rogue/sorcerer/ranger/cleric and get not only the benefits of all their class features but...

See, I think for the cost of a whole feat (which I know you get more of in Pathfinder but it's nonetheless still a high price) something like that would be a quite fair. I suggested a simple "You get an extra challenge per day", but some of the group thought even that was a little too much... I...

Thanks everybody for the advice so far! I like the recharge idea, it might be a good alternative. It would help him when his opponent was 'unworthy' by not wasting a challenge, which has happened several times and seems to frustrate him (He is a Sword Saint, so using Iajutsu he's...

Hello ENworld! I'm new to posting and this is my first thread, but I've enjoyed visiting here for some time and finally decided to join in :) I have a dilemma. A player in my group is playing a samurai (cavelier), and he and I have both noticed that most of the classes in Pathfinder have an...

Yeah count me in, that chart was a nightmare. My group likes channeling too, and rarely has the cleric had to use it in combat. I really think it was an elegant way to replace the cheesy CLW wands everyone had (which had no style and made no sense) and to present an alternative to 4e's...

Ah~ thanks for the clarification. I'd never noticed that feat before.

I actually had a question related to this. It says a 5-foot step is a free action. Couldn't opponent B then just step 'forward' in response to A when he steps 'back', and still stay in threat range of his target?

Right On!

I guess old D and D just saw it as a part of the things that can go wrong in combat. I've just always taken it as an inconvenience but I can see where it would suck if you were a low level caster, who only gets one or two spells to begin with. I think it would be neat to see a system that...

Not sure about the stats and such, since as stated above they can vary widely depending on class and the priorities which players place on certain scores. I don't guess these are really hard numbers, but as magical equipment goes I've always used the caster level requirements for the equipment...

Actually its not. First, if a wizard and even a party can't use some good ole role-playing to communicate a battle plan with each other that's their fault. Its about variety. There are weapons, and yes, even spells that people consider lame or 'sub-optimal' (snicker), when in the old system...

yeah, its time consuming, but I liked the extra dimension to the combat, and the way it actually had multiple characters doing different things simultaneously and resolving at different times. I want to see a middle ground, like maybe a cyclical system like 3e that adds speed factor after the...

I like it. I too hate the 'roll a d20, add dex' initiative rules for much the same reason you do, it seems. I always liked the older initiative system because you had more simultaneous instances like this because of Speed Factor. I've been trying to find a balance between the complicated 1 and...

page 461 of the core book is the closest I could find. I don't see why you should have to take a penalty. I know you said you wanted something more concrete than this, but as far as I know this is really the only place where it talks about fulfilling prereq with other party members, but in the...

I haven't come across that problem thus far, as even the wizard in pathfinder isn't very squishy anymore (with d6 hp), for me its the other way around, with a spurt of lucky rolls splattering the villain I spent an hour rolling up :/ still, I hate the feeling of rolling a crit, only to fail that...

This should be easy for me, I have them written up already, so I'll just copy and paste. Criticals You do not have to confirm. Abilities etc. that would add to your check to confirm instead increase the damage of the critical by that amount. Haste Haste can be used in one of two ways...
