    A radical concept?

    Doesn't the rogue already have more skills than any other class without an Int bonus?

    A radical concept?

    I just want to organize the thoughts I'm having, and then ask a question at the end. A rogue needs... ...strength to do more damage. ...dexterity to sneak. ...constitution so he doesn't get crushed in melee range for backstab. ...intelligence for more skills. ...wisdom because he has bad will...

    Running a morally ambiguous game in a world where Alignment is real

    Actually, that is [exactly what I'm saying! :D So, I think you and I are on the same page moreso than you might think.

    Running a morally ambiguous game in a world where Alignment is real

    Alignment - Pathfinder_OGC But I mean, I could just ask you. Is it good or evil to kill an innocent man? If you look at the description of Good vs. Evil in the link I posted, you will see that the answer to this question is not, "It depends." The description contains no "maybes"; no grey...

    Running a morally ambiguous game in a world where Alignment is real

    The first part of your statement is right, but the second part is wrong. What you think does not matter. Evil acts are evil; good acts are good. A PCs perceptions of those acts do not change their inherently good or evil nature. If they kill a baker in cold blood because they thought he was...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo: Something is Coming

    Man, you're telling me. I don't even care if it looks like it was made in 1995. I would play it.

    Flat-footed, surprise and initative.

    Yep! Ridiculous, but I guess RAW probably supports Stream.

    Flat-footed, surprise and initative.

    I think you're misunderstanding what I meant - we aren't both trying to catch the coin. My friend is about to flip a coin. When he does, the coin will be in the air, flipping, without interference from my friend. I am sitting there, staring at the coin, waiting for it to flip, and readying an...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo: Something is Coming

    The description of what they want to accomplish sounds very similar to what Ultima Online was when it was first released. If they do the same type of thing with this Pathfinder game, I will play it in a heartbeat. I hate MMOs and I'll still play it, because UO is boss.

    Running a morally ambiguous game in a world where Alignment is real

    Actually, this is incorrect. There IS a hard-and-fast, black-and-white standard of what is good and what is evil in the Pathfinder (D&D) world. So, evil is evil, no matter what the user thinks about it. Further, don't confuse a feeling of "normal" for a feeling of "good." Just because an...

    Flat-footed, surprise and initative.

    I definitely understand what you're saying. And, I guess (though I haven't looked it up), RAW agrees with you. But my problem with the above is the following: Lets say you're in combat. Initiative has been rolled, and your turn comes up. You use your turn to ready an action. You point your...

    Looking for suggestions in a homebrew setting

    It seems somewhat interesting, though I've always preferred my fantasy to stay totally fantasy. Never really been a fan of historical fiction, so-to-speak. Anyway, make sure you don't develop too much! Your players won't see half of it.

    Running a morally ambiguous game in a world where Alignment is real

    Well, the first thing is that you can do whatever you want. Ignore alignment completely, if you want. It's just a guide, anyway. Further, the spell detection thing doesn't necessarily remove all intrigue. Just because the chancellor pings evil doesn't mean the well-meaning bard won't work...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo: Something is Coming

    Pathfinder MMO!!!!!

    Flat-footed, surprise and initative.

    I'm not sure why readying an action is something that can only be accomplished within the context of initiative...

    Check I haven't screwed up

    So, that article was placed on the front page by mistake, or...? It's still up, from what I can see, complete with a hilarious comment by Systole.

    Check I haven't screwed up

    Wow, did this argument/thread derailment really spawn that massive front-page article?

    High AC normal?

    I think you guys are misinterpreting what Sky said. Kilo is right about the CR system, but Sky is saying that a character class at level 16 is supposedly a CR 16 encounter (for a group of 4 level 16 PCs to fight). Since the CR system when applied to monsters is an approximation of their...

    It's weird that you can full-attack when you're grappled

    Ah yes, that video. Another good example. To throw a "non-groin" example into the mix, I would use Yuki Nakai, a Japanese mixed martial artist who was intentionally (and illegally) eye-gouged so hard in a fight that he permanently lost vision in it. Of course, he won that fight. AND the...

    It's weird that you can full-attack when you're grappled

    If the implied statement here is that there are a lot of holds that would be rendered useless by "illegal" attacks, I would have to say that you are wrong. It is a common fallacy to think this is the case, usually made by people with little experience in grappling (I'm not trying to say that I...
