Go classic. Giant flying squid. The barbarian can only fight one tentacle at a time so there should be plenty for the others to do.

You could mimic a feat try by having it a feat to start and then you gain abilities with levels after you took it. So, if you take it at level four, you have four levels of the feat by level 8 where someone who just took the feat would just be starting out.

I'd like to see the 3pp soul knife that was produced for the pathfinder game. I can't remember who made it, but it's the best soul knife I've seen so far.

Isn't one of the basic story options in the PHB a warlock who gives his patron the middle finger? I would never take away a characters powers unless that player wanted it as part of the story. I could see having agents of the patron showing up every now and then to either attack the character...

Every time I think of pre-4e elves I laugh and get reminded of the forrest gump shrimp guy. sun elves, moon elves, high elves, forrest elves, woodland elves, ..........

While Pathfinder certainly has been successful, I don't think that they can ride the gravy train forever. The system is well past it's bloat point, especially being built on the 3.5 foundation. Eventually the offerings are going to either dry up or become so watered down that they won't be...

I think the best way to internalize it is to forget about skill or tool use. There is no skill or tool use in the game. It's all ability checks with a proficiency bonus if you have it. Whether it is a tool proficiency or a skill proficiency depends on the situation.

I'm pretty sure that you don't get extra skill proficiencies from multi-classing, so the character that started rogue and bard would still be ahead in skills.

Mearls has stated that the "paladin spell slot" is superfluous wording. It's supposed to read spell slot. If the Paladin was in the basic rules, I'm sure it would probably be fixed already. PalaSorLock is easy to justify. I walk the divine warrior path and sworn an oath to X. My powers...

Since this is one of those grey areas that is open to DM interpretation/implementation I wouldn't say that you would be wrong to do this. I would like to caution you about a slippery slope though. This could lead to a bunch of minutia rules that begin to impede the narrative style of game. By...

The holy symbol replaces the material components so you'll still need a free hand for somatic. Mike Mearls has stated, and I agree, that while not explicitly called out in the rules, it's completely reasonable to allow the cleric to switch his mace to his off hand cast the spell and then grab...

Magic items can still be rare, even in Eberron. Love the setting by the way. I've always pictured Eberron's common magic as the more utilitarian type. Animated sweeping brooms, continual flame lamp-posts, self pushing carts, etc. It's easy to have lots of common utilitarian magic and say...

One thing I think people miss is not that characters want to just buy a generic magic sword. They want sword X from page Y of book Z. To use the Ferrari example: Sure, you may be able to go into Albany and find a used Ferrari, but the player wanted the blue 89 convertible ferrari with the red...

The PCs were all part of different adventuring parties (say 3rd level) that went after a mad mage over the years. Unfortunately they were all defeated and the survivors were placed into magic crystals as trophies. Years have passed and the magic has faded, the PCs now awaken from their...

I'm truly sorry that you guys had a bad experience, but I still think that you are talking about the outlying cases here. Yes there will always be bad DMs out there, but in the classic internet way of things, it comes off as they're everywhere and we have to guard against them and protect the...

Battered player syndrome? lol. Personally, I've never seen this mythical horrid DM. I think it's nothing more than a boogie man that gets trotted out to try and justify an argument. Because remember, it's always us vs them and if your not us your them. It doesn't matter what side us or them...

Spelljammer without the whole air bubble thing, just air everywhere (treasure planet) Ebberon Aroura's Whole Realms Catalougue I love that book and still have an original copy. Psionics with a decent soulblade. Paizo did a good job on that one.

This hobby would have been a non-starter if we had all been forced to conform to your notions of starting a new game. The DM made some mistakes, but stood his ground because that's the game he wants to run. The player went running to the forums looking to try and push the DM into changing what...

So, I have an idea for a knight that takes the warden multiclass feat in order to get the feat that adds +con damage on any attack that slows. Then I just sit in the slowing stance and rack up the damage. I vaguely recall others talking about more methods to add con to damage and was hoping...

This got me thinking. What if they put an appropriate level tag on each item. Say item X is a level 3 item and item Y is a level 12, but then put a variable price tag by level? Say level one items are 500g to 1500g, level 10 items are 10k to 20k gold. Then there are prices for items, but no...
