If a monster is grappled by a PC, and then a friendly snake attacks that same monster, what happens with the snake's free grab attempt? Can the snake use that attempt to "aid another" to increase the PC's chances of maintaining the grapple next turn?

This is an interesting question. I DM a lot (way more than I play), and I am of the opinion that the DM should understand how something works before allowing it into the game. It isn't a matter of memorizing the details of anything - it is a matter of understanding the framework of the rules...

I have absolutely no idea what the answers to your questions are, but I thought I would mention that colors are only visible in the presence of light. So, if Color Spray creates colors but no light, and darkness removes all the light that would be reflected off the magic-stuff of which the...

Yeah, I get that. Really, though, since the changes to the rules themselves are minimal, it would be a very small effort on a player's part to learn them. Comfort with 3.5 is comfort with Pathfinder, 99% of the time. I guess the only major changes are those with the classes. Regardless, I...

I played a lot of 3.5 back in the day, and I've been playing Pathfinder (PF) for about a year I would guess. I believe there may be a 3.5 to Pathfinder conversion released by Paizo, but I don't know for sure. You can probably drop select Pathfinder stuff into a 3.5 campaign, though why you...

Welcome to the boards, though I know you said you've lurked for awhile. In my opinion, any and all metagame issues can and should always be resolved out-of-game. This is just a longer way of saying that you should just talk to the player. As Tovec pointed out, people are more receptive when...

I'll be keeping an eye on this!

Hmmm, thanks for the suggestions! I'll pass these on to my friend. Keep them coming if there are other opinions.

So, then... your best pick for a NON-damage level 2 spell?

Hi guys, I've got a friend who just became a 4th level Sorcerer and so he gets one second level spell. He wants to go pure damage, and lately (during games) has been lamenting his lack of damage compared to the two-handed fighter. So, I was hoping to get some suggestions from you guys as to...

So, does anyone else think that eventually Paizo will remake Pathfinder into a kind-of Pathfinder 2.0 in which the pretense of being backwards compatible is dropped? I mean, I can kind-of understand their desire to keep it backwards compatible upon release (years ago) due to now knowing just...

I have a playlist of gaming music that numbers in the thousands - so much in fact that I haven't been able to sort through it all to divide it into various categories that I might find of use. The vast majority of it is RPG videogame soundtracks, so my advice would be to start with your...

When I'm the DM, my thoughts on alignment are the following: If a player wants to commit an act that possibly sits outside of his alignment but he doesn't want his alignment to change or otherwise be affected, I will let him do it if he can reasonably justify the act as being within his...

I'm playing an Inquisitor in the Carrion Crown AP right now. I'm level 3 and we're still in the first volume/adventure. As an Inquisitor, I'm constantly wanting the next level, because they keep getting stuff that you want or feel like you need. If I took a level in Cleric... I just can't see...

Hmmm... I don't know if I'll pick it up, then. Almost every time I've ever bought a second monster manual, I've regretted it. I just never used it!

Is there something in the Bestiary 2 worth having access to other than just new monsters?

Why DIDN'T they do that? Did they think some judgments are too powerful if boosted by 3 levels instead of 5?

Heh, I hear you. But I think I'm also going to take the Lend Judgment spell, so at level 3 with the Judgment Surge feat I can have a +3 to something that I need for the entire combat AND give that same bonus to an ally. Not sure yet.

So, if I take Judgment Surge at level 3, that would give me an effective level of 6 when using a Judgment, increasing the total bonus to +3. Right?

Hmm, that makes a lot of sense. What are they supposed to get to offset this? Trapfinding? Rogue talents?
