how would you feel if you progressed through the story, gaining currency, becoming more renown, and obtaining better gear? What about a system that allows you to have X amount of abilities (like, say 3) but you can change them out when an "adventure" is "over" or whenever you have down time...

But seriously, how important is the leveling mechanic to you as a player? Is it genre specific in importance? Can a game get by without a leveling mechanic?

What would be the bonus to a Penguin Familiar? Or compared too what familiar? Help me make an Ice King based character (Adventure Time)

The DM couldn't make it this day, but we had someone who had DMed for us before. A party of 5, we set off on our adventure. The DM asked us what we wanted to do, and considering we have a fighter who went duelist, a rogue who went shadow dancer, a cleric/heirophant, an archmage, and a dragon...

Well, the plan to use Orcs, Goblins, and the other "horde-lings" is to refluff them. Just about everything will need refluffing, even wizards. (Using the Pathfinder Archetypes of the Elemental Wizards, and including the Wood and Metal elements, you could create an interesting magic-fluff for...

I am about to begin campaign creation of an Oriental Setting, using Japanese, Chinese, Hindu, and Middle Eastern Myths and legends (genies and Oni until your characters forget what demons and devils are anyone?) I am going to keep all the "core races" found in D&D/Pathfinder (I should state it...

Hey, 12 languages? I hear once you learn your 2nd language, it's much easier to learn a 3rd, or a 4th, or a 5th...I assume a 12th would be much easier.

Would it have been better if I said your Hit Dice were 7 (as your character level) even though you had class levels lower? I feel that's just a bit over doing it, the point still got across, use hit dice, not level. But I do agree, a thesaurus would have helped, especially for explaining...

The rule is you can NOT have more ranks in a skill than your HIT DICE, not your level. Your hit dice should be 7, so you could, as you have 7 hit dice, you can have a maximum of 7 ranks in a skill.

This is actually a dialogue that occurred when a player was looking at the Alchemist class. Player A: So the Alchemist is kinda cool? I like the master chymst PrC, it reminds me of Dr. Jackyl and Mr Hyde. Player B: I feel like with the bombs I would wind up just pulling a joker and give our...

I have a player in my group who wants to make her own miniature, using the sculpting clays. if you have any previous experience and have a preferred type of clay, a brand, a note on tools or anything it would help her out! Also, please note we have around 3-4 weeks before we start playing...

Sonic few creatures are resistant to it, I don't think any are immune. However, this is often over looked as it is not common to fine sonic spells.

You see it, at the end of the hallway there is a door. The fading light from your torch flickers off the subterranean walls of the cool, damp chamber. You go to reach for the door, when suddenly you stop. You think to yourself, "what's the worst that could happen?" So, leaving this open ended...

I should rephrase. Why are the FEW systems that are famous? This thread is very eye opening, my lack of game knowledge is showing, but hey, at least you guys are nice about clearing it up.

I had a crazy idea in one of my classes the other day. We were going over the statistics and all that of dice rolling, and the teacher brought up polyhedral dice, something I and the teacher only understood (now my favorite teacher). However, what this brought up was how the multisided dice are...

Reading through the classes when they first came out, I saw the cleric had channel divinity. This made me mad. Pathfinder had channel energy. They pretty much stole the idea from them (although there are differences, point is, it's extra healing at a distance with a similar name) I would...

Should explain why, however, I felt getting a vote with such colorful text would be entertaining, my apologies. Why do I not like it? I feel like they took 4e (a game with great mechanics for what it does) and mixed it with Pathfinder (a game with great mechanics for what it does) Clerics...

My archer build was a tad crazy. top 2 score should be dex (the highest) and strength, who needs health when you're in the back shooting? base class fighter, DO NOT MULTICLASS THIS, the bonus feats are needed. Go human. Exotic Weapon Prof Great Bow (complete warrior), Point Blank shot...

Well now that you know how I feel about the new playtest packet, use your vast knowledge of monsters to describe how you feel.

I think stacking shadows would be more challenging then elves. I've found fire giants stack fairly easily, granted you need a crane in order to get anything done. Gricks are like a dungeon delver's Lincoln Logs you know.... I've made more doors out of Gricks then weapons I've sundered. and...
