I would list the DM creating my character's background wholecloth as one of my gaming turn-offs. He already gets to create everything else in the world; he can let me have this. I'm not above tweaking the background I create so it fits properly, but if I showed up to a presumably long-running...

Personally, I'd take it as a challenge to come up with the most whizbang amazing campaign they ever played, ever. I couldn't help but see you were running Dawn of Defiance. I've never run nor played through it myself, but I have very rarely heard good things about it. Maybe they just didn't...

Right, what I meant was that there is a section in the conversion guide that talks about converting non-core classes. Rough guidelines to be sure, but it's a start. We had a Favored Soul in the group at the time and the DM added a couple things to the class' progression; namely some minor energy...

We were able to use the PF conversion guide to pretty good effect, WD; about the only thing we really scratched our heads over is converting something from Savage Species (one of my favorite books). In the end, we decided to just shelve the monster-characters for a while until we learned enough...

Play a Jedi who actually tries to follow the Code. "Fallen jedi" is so cliche I get tired of seeing the two words together. Make him human and struggle with your humanity v. the ridiculous expectations the Code enforces. You know, like a real person would.

Special Materials :: d20srd.org Items crafted from mithral are always masterwork, and the price of masterwork is included; I'd say it is already included with the -3. Edit: Whoops, forgot which forum I was viewing there. Not sure if this still applies in PF. My bad.

I'd be a little miffed by that ending, if it was me. Did your GM know you guys had poured so much thought into how to defeat this guy before the session you fought him in? Reminds me of when in a SW Saga game, we had a large space transport. I had discussed endlessly throughout the week about...

We are going to be starting a core PF game up shortly (Core Rulebook + Advanced Player's) at 4th level. My concept is a fighter/bard of some type with inspiration drawing from Brutal Legend. My race of choice is human. No stats rolled as of yet, just assume a 30 pt build as a nice middle ground...

I really don't think an extra 20hp (if you stay single classed) by the end of your adventuring career is overpowered. Geez, at that level you do more damage dropping your morning deuce.

In other words.... "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." I like your artificer's style.

Know what I'm tired of? "Game Theory." It sounds about as legitimate as "Legonomics." To contribute: I like tomato soup.

Maybe you could give the group a good opportunity to leave the castle itself, and spook the goblins by setting fire to their supplies/killing their commander/pretending to be orcs. In fact, what if the party did just that? Had someone disguise themselves as an orc (or analogous "bigger fish"...

WW. Dubble-yu Dubble-yu? Dubuloo? Man I don't know about this. My character sounds like a friggin' gungan.

Combat Madlibs. I'm diggin it. This deserves it's own thread. "You swing your [IMPLEMENT] at the [BARMAID] with a [CLUMSY TIMING]. It hits her in the [APRON] leaving a [SMALL DEPRESSION]. The [BARMAID] appears to be [MORTIFIED]."

The goblins have a single rope along one bottom edge of the platform. When they have to fight up there, they wear a little harness with a foot-long length of rope tied to a D-ring. They snap the D-ring onto the rope and can run along the platform all they want (as long as they don't trip up with...

I am in agreement with this sentiment. I know if I bought it, every time I looked at the thing I'd think about what other junk I could have bought with the other 125-130 bucks. Not to mention the fact that if it ever got out at the table how much I paid for it, the quiet looks of derision would...

Yeesh, well it makes a little more sense now. Yeah after the flow of battle and method of attack is obvious he should have adjusted his tactics. I'd have Sir Robinned him too.

I could never say for certain without having been present, and your other examples do bear out the fighter's unwillingness to engage, however, I think here he actually used good tactics. Why would you wade INTO a watery pool filled with zombies? Why not draw the stupid things out, all the while...

I normally don't post many personal things online, but I am absolutely gushing! My wife and I welcomed our new little girl Charlotte home March 5th! Plan on showing her off to the group (her new uncles!) this weekend; can't wait until she is old enough to do some real gaming. I have a feeling...

Well, they'd probably all grant the same type of bonus (inherent, competence maybe) so they couldn't stack with each other, if that's what you meant.
