    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Looking for a template with no level adjustment that gives at least +1 to CON

    Intermediate Troll bloodline offers Con +1 at 6th level. That good? Bloodlines are not templates, and work a little differently - in effect you gain something that resembles a template with its level adjustment already bought off, by paying a bunch of XP during play. But since you're behind the...

    Lies: Rainbow Room puzzle

    That explains it, I have the standalone PDF. The map you attached makes much more sense, thank you. Threw us for a loop for a while, until I decided the players had been on the right track anyway, and simply declared "some time later, you finally have it: all the walls are down, and you can go on".

    Lies: Rainbow Room puzzle

    Is my group retarded or is this puzzle not solvable? The violet control stone is blocked by a yellow wall!

    ZEITGEIST 1001 things PCs are totally allowed to do in Zeitgeist campaign

    71. Shoot two (!) critical bullets through Cillian Creed's head the first time they fight him (abandoned temple). The man with two guns is, indeed, god.

    Advanced Firearms?

    Yeah, I know, I should be reading way ahead already (also helps with foreshadowing and using NPCs correctly). But a recent move plus new job leave me barely enough time for regular playing sessions, let alone preparing as I should...

    Gale as a love interest?

    She made a good impression on the group at the meeting, and I had made a point of the fact that she hasn't killed anyone. The more gruesome acts of terrorism have been committed by the Lizardfolk arsonists in my game. Excellent, even better if it's a tragic romance! You have dispelled the rest...

    Gale as a love interest?

    Aaaand another short question concerning my ongoing Zeitgeist campaign, currently nearing the end of Skyseer: one of the players had already expressed an interest in entangling himself in a romantic subplot. No problem usually, but his PC is a halfling gunslinger/paladin, and a. halflings have...

    Advanced Firearms?

    One of the players in my Pathfinder Zeitgeist campaign plays a Gunslinger/Paladin and has the Gunsmith background, as well. He is keen on getting an advanced firearm or three for his character. When do you suppose would be a good time to hand out those literal 'big guns'? We're nearing the end...

    Help with Character Build

    Some simple advice: until you know what you're doing better, don't make strange, monster-based PCs. Keep it simple, make a Human. Due to Rakshasa's +7 LA and 7 HD, you'd not be able to play one below level 14, anyway: LA is added to hit dice to arrive at the lowest possible starting level -...

    ZEITGEIST Question about starting Zeitgeist

    Hi guys, haven't been posting much lately, but want to chime in to say I'm glad this PbP is still going strong! I'm still having a blast with my PF Zeitgeist campaign (due to moving, we're playing via Skype/Maptool, which works fine). We're past the mid point of Skyseer now, and I've run into a...

    ZEITGEIST Pathfinder ZEITGEIST - aaand here... we... go!

    Just posting to let you guys know this is updated now, after our first session. I probably shouldn't have reserved so many posts, but as you can see above, I'm a... verbose little fella, so I'm confident they'll get filled in time.

    optimization with flavor

    It might have helped to tell us your class(es), race, role, goal etc. ;) Concerning your death attack question (I'm assuming you're playing some kind of Rogue/Assassin build?): you just have to make a successful sneak attack after studying the target for three rounds. That means you can...

    Help Me Build a Bard! (PHB Only)

    Race: Gnome is fine, although the low movement rate will come back to bite you from time to time. Human for more skills and one bonus feat might well be worth it, but I can see the temptation in the Gnome's ability score modifiers and small size. Usually, picking Human would be a no-brainer, but...

    ZEITGEIST Pathfinder ZEITGEIST - aaand here... we... go!

    Hi folks, long time no posts. This has mostly been due to really-sweet-but-really-time-consuming-and-thus-not-altogether-RPG-conducive kid no. 2 seeing the light of the world a bit over a year ago. However, here we go again, starting a completely new ZEITGEIST Pathfinder campaign, this very...

    rogue/swashbuckler daring outlaw wants to ignoring armor

    The Spectral Dagger is for you, although it's probably a bit costly to have two of those at your level (20,000 gp each). Wielded like a dagger, it's actually a continuous Chill Touch effect. Now that's nothing to write home about damage-wise, and doesn't add your Str to damage, but your main...

    Trying my hand at DMing. Need some advice

    Sensible concerns, especially the bolded part, but I'm not convinced that flat-out banhammering the so-called "big five" really is the One True Way here. In play, a lot depends on circumstance. The big five get much better at higher levels, but aren't ahead much or even at all at low levels...

    dark speech + suggestion or + charm

    This sounds like a looooooot of trouble to go to just for killing some people. It's not as if D&D didn't provide alternate methods...
