Learned and chemically wise folk like Dandu are why I took great efforts to remove any reference to "real world" hard sciences, like physics, chemistry, or sufficiently advanced mathematics. In addition to the bother of having a friend who just so happens to be a chemical engineer saying "Wait...

As its just flavour text, I typically substitute my own whenever I come across something like you did. "Dragonborn are preternaturally quite strong for their size, but this added muscle was added at the expense of their former flexibility." ...and if this fails? "Magic."

Well, full BAB and caster advancement is pretty nice, and the ability to one-shot people by dropping their Dex to zero is, I suppose, rather sexy, but I feel that the power needs to be upped a tad. The entry req. of "Anyone but a fighter or barbarian" kinda leaves me hanging. I mean, what if my...

Truthfully and honestly, the very first time that you had a fireball on deck, and the DM had a "boss and his mercenary retinue" march around the far alleyway, how many of you didn't scream and giggle like a little girl? They may be effective (especially if kitted out properly with mountain...

unfortunately, he's almost worse off than a glass-cannon, as at least glass has some tensile resilience: he's more like a pudding-cannon. my honest suggestion? make him a draconic human rogue 3. the LA is reduced to +1 due to draconic, and rogue 3 should have FAR more survivability. yes, he...

You could always be a psion specialized toward metacreativity, and then just claim that your astral constructs are jagged and shadowy; instead of being thought-energy from the astral plane, they could be terrible manifestations of your nightmares, made real?

A much simpler method would simply be having the feat read something like "once per encounter, you may swap out any prepared spell with any spell available on your spell list, domains included. You may only do this a number of times per day equal to 1 plus your (casting stat bonus)." This way...

I'm going to have to agree with you. I mean, if anything, many of us have seen it as one of the few ways that non-casters can keep up with casters. In fact, in some campaigns, it's a class skill for everyone, because, the logic went, while fighters and rogues were off at fighter or rogue...

assuming they could even read it, i'd say not. invisibility could be used for many things, whereas 'demonic summoning' or the like could not. i haven't specifically codified all of the laws for each and every area, but for the most part, things like people smuggling, inciting revolution against...

my sentiments exactly. also illegal in the campaign are things like intentionally summoning fiends, or committing crimes through magical or psionic compulsion. typically, in the larger and more civilized cities, weapons are peace-bound. likewise, the laws of the more rough and tumble...

hmm, you know, this is actually a pretty clever idea. if the society they're playing in scales the punishment to the potency, this idea has the added benefit of getting the player off the hook (olive oil isn't actually a poison), but illustrating the serious nature of what he's asking for.

hey all, in my campaign, poison is an illegal substance. if you don't like this, don't reply. however, a new player is completely hell-bent on getting his hands on some poison and not using any finesse about it, even though the other PCs have suggested he be a little more careful about such a...

OP here. to be honest, i've added it to the hexblade list, as i felt the other additions, like whirling blade and back-biter, also dealt with weapon-magic. i was thinking about adding it to duskblade as well, but declined, because that class already has a viable means of solidly dealing damage...

Yeah, I'm thinking that if any melee-type is willing to actually be able to use it via spellcasting, it's probably a leg-up that an otherwise weak option needs. Thanks all!

So, would it be more acceptable if it merely allowed for one attack in the next round to be made as a touch attack, or to bump the level by 2, but keep it as is?

hey gang, just a quick question - let's say i'm a 6 fighter / 3 wizard and i decide to use wraithstrike. my concern is that as i'm able to swiftly cast it, i can then let all of my attacks be treated as touch attacks, so i'm probably going to power attack for 7, which translates into a +14...

does anyone know if there's a viable pathfinder conversion for the warlock or hexblade? the non-converted folk in my game would really appreciate to know this. :) edit: answered my own question. however, what would fellow pathfinders think of the following? too powerful, too little? any...

If you're being completely railroaded or are unhappy, you could always have the entire group say "We all kill ourselves dead," and then just rolling up new characters and starting over. :)

He seems like a really smart individual, so next time you play, say "So, the authors were kinda unclear: nowhere in the PHB does it say I shouldn't add my Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis and Cha bonuses to my armour class, damage, saves and attack rolls. I'm just going to go ahead and assume that this...

the healer is a pretty bad class, even with tweaking, you'd get far more mileage even out of a poorly-built cleric. however, the more pressing issue is "What should be done about your crappy DM?"
