Are these gnomes based in a capitol city called Zurich? ;):p (Somebody had to say it.) But on a serious note, sure, this sounds cool. In fact, I don't recall seeing a Ferengi-like culture before in a roleplaying setting other than Star Trek, though I admit to not being well-read in the...

I myself am most interested to see what they did with Elricthe Bladebound.

Instead of Burrow, why not call the ability Earth Glide? It's closer to that than a basic Burrow speed, isn't it? Either way, you run into potential name confusion, since yours is Su and the standard version is Ex- but Earth Glide seems more accurate. Perhaps Earth Swim, instead?

Thank you for this! I have a nation in my campaign world that uses systems of credit and wealth that are more similar to modern Earth than traditional fantasy gold-is-everything, and was not looking forward to trying a conversion of the Wealth Check rules. Now I don't have to. :) And I like...

Key words in that quote are "to learn any formula that is equivalent to a spell." (emphasis mine) "Formula" specifically refers to entries on the Alchemist Extract list- if it's not on there, then the Alchemist can't learn it from a spellbook. That said, I as a GM would allow an Alchemist to...

It's a shame there isn't a variant of the Bomb class feature that can splash targets with poison; it'd work very well with your character's idiom (though throwing breakable vials of poison as if they were alchemist's fire or something would work just as well I suppose- but you have to actually...

Question, not currently covered by the Commander rules as written: how does the Commander recharge his Command Pool? Is it like the Barbarian (where it recharges after 8 hours of rest, not necessarily consecutive)? Or is it after some other criterion is met? This should be explicitly noted in...

Seconded. Brilliant idea, and given who MLP are marketed towards, might be a way to bring more women into the hobby, even if it did start as a joke. "Get 'em while they're young" works for anything addictive! ;)

Aha! I knew I must be missing something, if the numbers were off by exactly 1 for all three. Thanks. :)

Cool! :cool: He does indeed look very nasty, and it's interesting you went with a Cleric cohort (though, shouldn't he have the Leadership feat?) rather than trying to make him a caster himself. Well done! I think his saves are 1 point too high, unless I missed some magical effect or feat...

Good choice for an example NPC. Bandits are a pretty common threat in low-level games, so this guy should be easy to drop in and test. I'll back you up on alignment- leadership doesn't require organization; in fact, anybody who has worked for a large corporation or other entity bogged down by...

I have to agree with pawsplay, if you're going to go with just one good save, Will makes more sense because a Commander is (as a basic fictional role) a person who uses his brain to win battles, by getting subordinates to use their abilities most effectively towards some overarching goal that...

Curious: why did you go with the extra-damage-per-level mechanic, which as written appears to completely ignore the power of the Fire effect itself, instead of just giving them standard Fire Vulnerability?

*I* am not actually using anything at present, the way you mean it, so the question on Combat Maneuvers (the way you asked it) is essentially moot- however I've had ample opportunity to observe how the combat maneuver changes work in play, and I have to say it's impressive how smoothly it all...

The differences are subtle to a casual glance, and those unfamiliar with the new system, but in play they actually lead to some pretty significant changes. For example, Elementals are now Outsiders- no such thing as an Elemental type anymore (instead it's now a subtype of Outsider). Undead...

Yeah, the Summoner entry isn't really very well organized for ease of reading. Given how important the Eidolon is, though, I'm not sure how else they could have done it to make comprehension easier. Back-and-forth flipping is the price to pay for a really unique class concept, I suppose.

This rule only applies to Pathfinder Society, doesn't it? There's nothing I've ever seen in the Core book about it. And every GM I know (including me) just rolls hit points for NPCs like anything else. The thing NPCs don't get, but that PCs do, is max hp on the 1st level/hit die. Actually, what...

There are Sanity and Madness rules in the Gamemastery Guide- page 250, in "Advanced Topics." If you don't have that book yet, you can also conveniently read them online at d20pfsrd.com. That's a good site to know about in general, actually, as you'll see when you go there, since they keep...

Oops, forgot to respond to this above... this was never officially part of a book, that I can recall, because deities made using the IH rules weren't supposed to be able to give up artifacts. But unofficially, most people (including UK for weirdo beings like Algol) used the rule that giving up...

That's exactly what he did, yes. Technically Belzamus is correct if you want to use the best math for balancing things at the highest levels- UK, however, doesn't like things to get too complex, so he rounded off as you said. Each DM can decide for himself/herself exactly how to handle it- I...
