I have concerns over this as well. Only having 1 spell per day of your higher level slots does seem quite limiting, and really not very fun. Combined with the concentration buff spells this is a massive nerf to spell casters. It's true that in 3.5 spellcasters do get too much good stuff at the...

This sounds like just one more reason why Mountain Dwarves will make the best Wizards!

Some people here posting like wizards don't get attacked, lol. In the last Pathfinder game I played our party wizard was getting pounded *all* the time. As soon as opponents knew who the wizard was they knew he would be the easiest person to take out of commission. Luckily, in 3.X spell casters...

A game should be so balanced that it doesn't matter what a player does. They can choose any option, use any gear, take any action (or inaction) and be exactly as useful as any other character taking any other conceivable action or choice. In fact, since player choice has no benefit, the players...

The common belief that warlocks don't eat candy is just not true! They go trick or treating the same as everyone else.

Oh man that art! When I was around 10 yrs old I inherited some D&D books from my older cousin who was getting out of the game. One of them was a Dragonlance book The Guide Book to Taladas by David Cook which featured that art on the cover. In particular that piece of art along with the 1st...

My group is planning to steal the adv/dis rules for an E6 Pathfinder game starting later this year. I hope it works out better than it did for you!

Hi everyone, original poster here. Thanks for all the fighter discussion and ideas that went on in this thread way back (going on 2 years ago now!). Our campaign has been progressing through this whole time, and I thought I would post a quick update now that our characters levels have gotten...

I don't like it. Using spells (or magic items) to fly does not give you flight as a class skill, and hence the +3 bonus. All it does is let you start putting ranks into the fly skill from that point onwards. Only creatures with actual fly speeds in their basic racial stat block (they have...

The Mage Armor spell gives an armor bonus to AC. Regular mundane armor also gives an armor bonus to AC. They don't stack, they overlap (whichever bonus is higher is used, probably the Paladin's armor).

I feel like this is bypassing the armor class and attack bonus rules somehow, and it must be wrong... Oh well, I concede it works. Guess I won't bother ever trying to play a 1v1 combat in pathfinder involving melee characters as it sounds like the only way to win that is to pull out a bow and...

By that same logic, if the orc hasn't rolled his d20 yet and determined if it hit/miss and how much damage it has done, then he hasn't yet attacked and there is nothing for the readied action to respond to yet. In elaboration, actions in D&D are flowing and can change from moment to moment as a...

But the orc never attacked. It hasn't rolled any d20's yet. It is still in the middle of its movement phase if it hasn't made the attack roll yet.

Yes, if the orc still has movement available it can continue moving after you finish your readied action (whatever that was). Either to move up another 5 feet and attack you, or just change its mind and do something else with the rest of its move and standard action instead.

That monk character doesn't even seem all that optimized. It sounds like he gave up a ton of power in order to grab some things that will temporarily give him higher than average AC. In a few more levels when more gold and magic items become available (Like Bracers of Armor) he will be wishing...

I really liked the complete book of elves! Then again, I was twelve when it came out and didn't have a good grasp of game balance at the time.

Make sure some of the party members have access to flight, at least temporarily, and some way to deal with invisibility, and some resistance to fire. This should nullify many of the genies powers that would give a lower level party the most trouble.

I think it would be nice if you could apply 1 point of your dex bonus to AC for every 5 ranks in Acrobatics/Climb skill while you are balancing/climbing. That seems like a good compromise between the system of trying to show that its harder to dodge and move while doing those activities, but...

I used Charisma as the stat that determined action points for my game. I called them "Fate Points". I also made sure the scaling of them was done in such a way as to not overly benefit Sorcerers. If you just do something like "Ability modifier equals bonus Fate Points" then the Sorcerer with a...

Rogue doesn't seem nerfed to me. They were buffed just like all the classes were. I think they are more commenting on how rogues are just bad in general in 3.5 and Pathfinder didn't do anything to fix that. A few things that might contribute to rogues feeling weaker in Pathfinder is the loss...
