    Pathfinder 1E Ultimate Equipment Character Kit Weights

    Suggested Encumbrance changes The "just the right piece of gear for just the right situation" is a thing that can either be just assumed by the players/DM or something that is micro-managed by both. My biggest hang up with the the whole encumbrance/gear issue is most players (and DMs unless...

    Pathfinder 1E Ultimate Equipment Character Kit Weights

    Yeah, I ran into the Paizo forums after I posted here. Personnally I would rather see a real number for the kit totals and then add a rule under Weights and Encumberance that items packed efficiently in a backpack can get an encumberance adjustment (maybe 75% of actual weight).

    Pathfinder 1E Wondrous Item assistance

    I would scale the cost based on the material cost for casting the spell (i.e. 10,000 gp for a wish) and the consequence being the loss of XP as if the character cast the spell (i.e. 5,000 xp for a wish and 300 xp for a limited wish). Since Limited wishes do not have a material cost I would...

    Pathfinder 1E Ultimate Equipment Character Kit Weights

    Not sure where my math is going wrong but while piecing out a Ranger's Kit my calculations came up with 41.5 lbs not 28 lbs. Backpack 2 lbs, Bedroll 5 lbs, Belt Pouch 1/2 lb, Iron Pot 4 lbs, Mess Kit 1 lb, Rope 10 lbs, 10 Torches (at 1 lb each) for 10 lbs, 5 days of trail rations (at 1 lb each)...

    How would you RP this character?

    I would do a mix of Captain Haddock from TinTin and Raj from the Big Bang Theory. He cannot talk to people unless he is drinking and his memory really doesn't function unless really inebriated. Compound that with his aggressiveness once he loosens up then that should provide for an exciting...

    best silent image illusions

    I guess I would go the other way, especially if you are trying to dissuade someone from following you. Maybe a floor strewn with sharp spikes or a cavernous pit that stretches the length of the floor. You could also use this to keep someone entrapped. If the party manages to knock the...

    TWF/Eagle Claw

    IMO if dual wielding (TWF) is a full round action and (as stated in the feat description) Eagle's Fury is a full round action then allowing your player to combine them would basically give him two full round actions in a single round and if I was the GM/DM I would shoot it down unless the...

    Pathfinder 1E Keeping it simple

    If anything that will be a nice little bump up to normal Pathfinder characters who only get X number of skills based on starting skill points, rarely will a character be able to start out and maintain ranks in all class skills (especially the Rogue). Does this mean you are dropping any...

    Pathfinder 1E Tome of Horrors 4

    Did Pathfinder get the same deal then because it seemed to me that the Bestiary 2 and 3 had monsters that were included in the Tome of Horrors Complete (Pathfinder version)? Examples include the Atomie, Blindheim, and Caryatid Column. I believe some of the repeated monsters originally appeared...

    Pathfinder 1E Keeping it simple

    Since Feats offer most of the crunch (since they provide special abilities or modify or improve skills etc.) you could either: A) Drop them all together B) Go through them and just offer a reduced list of those that you think fit your style of play. Honestly, as someone that started out with...

    D&D 3.x (Coming from 3.5) Are casters still the most powerful in PF?

    Well, to be honest the actual direction given in the Core rule book is that it is up to the group to decide what rate fits you best which makes it sound like a group decision as to which one is chosen. Granted that the rules imply that the same track will be used by everyone it isn't...

    Pathfinder 1E Thunderscape: the World of Aden [Kickstarter]

    Honestly, this Kickstarter gives you a lot of bang for your buck. I already pledged at the 60$ level because I want hard copies of the campaign book and adventure path (you have an already made campaign from start to finish). I really do hope they can make it to the 21K level for the Psionics...

    Pathfinder 1E Confused on Some Character Creation Mechanics

    Confusing use with actually learning more feats. A.K.A gaining a feat is when you learn a new one versus using a feat which is limited to the skill you chose for the feat when you gained (i.e. learned or acquired) the feat. Thus, you must choose a particular skill for the feat when you choose...

    Pathfinder 1E Your experiences with broken Pathfinder characters? (edit: more accurately, w/1 avg PF character when the rest of the party is meh)

    One reason I like the DCC 3.x published adventures is that it gave suggestions on how to beef up or tone down encounters based on number of players and total party level. I haven't seen that in a Paizo adventure path (that I am aware of) and I am not sure what they determine is an optimal party...

    Pathfinder 1E Confused on Some Character Creation Mechanics

    So for the OP, if you choose Bard and Rogue based on the character in the example you would get the favored class bonus every time you level up choosing either Bard or Rogue.

    Pathfinder 1E Confused on Some Character Creation Mechanics

    Multi-classing in pathfinder is different than say 1st edition AD&D. Characters have character levels and class levels. You can only choose one class level per character level, so Character level 1 --> Bard 1 Character level 2 --> Rogue 1 Character level 3 --> Bard 2 Character level 4 -->...

    Pathfinder 1E Your experiences with broken Pathfinder characters? (edit: more accurately, w/1 avg PF character when the rest of the party is meh)

    2nded.;) It also depends on whether or not the group wants to play a roll playing game or a role playing game. As a DM and player I want to create or partake of something that is at least reminescent of an actual storyline where everyone has goals and inspirations (including NPCs). However...

    Pathfinder 1E Your experiences with broken Pathfinder characters? (edit: more accurately, w/1 avg PF character when the rest of the party is meh)

    I think the pathfinder "splat" books for the most part are actually thought out but from a DM's viewpoint definitely add to power creep for player characters. Biggest Pathfinder splat book I have an issue with is the Advanced Race Guide. I am actually okay with the core races but then it...
