    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Beginner Unboxing

    I agree attention span I think is a lot more important than age. Plus maturity which usually goes hand and hand with attention span. I had a friend who taught his 8 year old daughter to play no problems but his nephew who was 10 wouldn't sit still long enough.

    What 3.X/D20 Material Do You Use With Pathfinder?

    There is very few books we completely use. Corsairs is one of the few and a few of the environmental books. We use to use a lot of 3.x books but as more and more Pathfinder stuff has been done and 3pp stuff we have used less and less. Most of what we use now is like shadow spells from the Tome...

    I don't get the dislike of healing surges

    Yeah i get what you mean, I still don't agree and here's why. You take a 18 con Barby who gets dropped to 0 hp. A max CLW at 1st level barely puts him above half hp. While a 16 con wizard would be perfectly healed by the same spell with the same roll. I honestly do like the % of health healed...

    I don't get the dislike of healing surges

    Yeah i know that is the accepted view of it. But to me hp is health. I am in the camp of. Why does 8 points near kill a level 1 fighter but a level 10 shrugs it off as follows. A level 1 doesn't know much more than the basic swings and a block or two. A level 10 knows lots of blocks and...

    I don't get the dislike of healing surges

    I think healing surges have good a bad points about them. I personally don't like them as written but think the idea has merit. I will explain what I mean. I utterly loath second wind, I also loath how healing surges is a internal source. When your out your out. What I did like is the amount...

    Pathfinder 1E Could Pathfinder take D&D's place...

    I believe these are the ones he was talking about. Not sure which of them has that quote but I remember it as well. Here

    3.5e/Pathfinder fans tell me what you think about essentials

    That was my impression of it from what I read of it.

    Pathfinder 1E Could Pathfinder take D&D's place...

    First time I heard the terms was in EQ back when it was the only game in town. Of course back then the 4 roles was called. Tank - Defender DPS (stands for damage per second) - striker Buffer - someone that makes others better controller - controls and locks down monsters healer - yeah so while...

    New Legends & Lore: Player vs. Character

    Me personally I have always done the middle ground. Typically I set a DC for something and then let the players tell me what and how their characters do it. Like if talking to a Lord they RP it out and the better they do the higher bonus I give them. If looking for a secret door, if they say...

    D&D 4E Can WotC Cater to Past Editions Without Compromising 4e Design?

    Not saying 5e is coming any time soon, but with the bad press WotC has gotten justified or not over several decisions they have made and or their PR campaign. It would be in their best interest to extend a olive branch as you put it to the old players that no longer play the current edition of...

    D&D 4E Can WotC Cater to Past Editions Without Compromising 4e Design?

    There seems to be several intertwined conversations going on at once in this thread. 1) Do I think a new version of DnD could appeal to older editions and to current? I think it is possible, but highly unlikely. It would be a high risk vs high reward, with a screw up likely being the death of...

    Poll: Favored class & why?

    Rogues by a narrow margin is my fav. I like sneaky/social characters. Arcane casters come in a close second.

    Miniatures, yay or nay?

    I think miniatures should be optional, the game should be able to play just fine without them. Adding some optional rules for a more tactical combat with mini's wouldn't be a bad thing though, as long as the rules that strongly encouraged the use of mini's was optional.

    Too Many Casters?

    Point out to her that a witch is a great debuff class so less stress on the melee types. Also the witch is a solid crowd control class which has the same effect and finally point out witches make great secondary healers which again will help out the melee's. While I get her worry, monks are not...

    Holy sheepdip - wotc to republish old editions

    I know this wasn't directed at me, but since I am interesting in older stuff myself I will reply. No no - number two is the only one I would consider and if it was 5 or more DL's I might consider it. and no The other two I wouldn't even consider, unless they was dirt and I mean dirt cheap.

    Pathfinder 1E First AP that Pathfinder launched with?

    Yes They already have it listed in their store. http://paizo.com/store/byCompany/p/paizoPublishingLLC/pathfinder/adventurePath/riseOfTheRunelords/v5748btpy8mqq No sadly Paizo does not own Age of Worms or any of the Dragon Mag AP's, so they can't reprint them or make them into a hardback unless...

    The Problem With Severed Limbs

    Well most GM's that use those rules also use the rules where it is easier than normal to get them fixed. As for the spoiler... well in the actual adventure she doesn't have those weapons, just MW ones.

    You listened in person or is their a podcast or something of it to listen to? Just curious cause I would be interested in listening to it.

    Pathfinder 1E First AP that Pathfinder launched with?

    Yes they have them broken up. But Council of Thieves was the first made for the PFRPG rules, though their very first AP Rise of the Runelords is getting a hardback collected edition made for next year around this time and it will update that AP to PFRPG rules. So then it will be the first AP...

    D&D 5E (2014) cancelled 5e announcement at Gencon??? Anyone know anything about this?

    Maybe they was going to announce they was going to skip 5e and go right to 6e which would be a interactive 3d environment, that you could send your mind to and play out games live.
