Last I knew the game was fictional. Anywho options are: a) limiting resources players can use for their characters because (speaking as a player) I want to give my character the most advantages I can b) making encounters that challenges characters (and you have to take their abilities into...

Right because there are no fictional fantasy stories where there are specific villians to challenge heroes. If players are going to make super-heroic characters (regardless of genre) doesn't it make sense that there would be opponents that would exist with specific abilities to challenge them?

I used my flier but didn't work as expected. There was an extra Yeth Hound that I missed in an earlier encounter so I decided to give it to the Ogre family as a "pet". The hound bayed the first round and the eidolon and two out of the three Ogres failed their Will saves so they were panicked...

Funny you should mention the math. Played last night and I compared Pathfinder math to the commercial where the father is doing a simple math problem with his young daughter and she gets the answer wrong because she didn't include all the hidden phone charges. Again, in principle and theory I...

I am not sure how it would break encounters unless the summoner is one of the smaller races and the mount evolution is taken (which by the RAW wouldn't apply since that evolution is restricted to quads and serpentines). Sure the Eidolon can fly upward out of range but there are penalties to the...

Huzzah!!! That is what I am saying. Don't blame the rules, use them and it isn't stealing if you want to model an NPC or two after the same crazy templates Players want to use.

A game is what players and DMs make of it (and there is always option to play something else which apparently you have already chosen) and that is why most groups have house rules because their opinions on game rules. AC is just one factor of a character (AC variance in any D&D edition will...

I am currently DMing a game using the Rise of the Runelords Annivesary edition and when we in the character creation process the Advanced Races Guide had just come out so of course everyone wanted some of the more powerful races found in there (and yes one was an Aasimar monk) and as starting DM...

Does anyone know of a non official attempt to make a flyer base form for an Eidolon anywhere on the net? I want to make a Demonic Vulture looking Eidolon for an Ogre Summoner and going with the base forms that are out there my options are either biped or make up my own (which as the DM I guess...

Dreamscarred Press is working on ideas for their new Bestiary and I suggested Gem Dragons and was nixxed due to copyright or trademark issues. Just going through the Tome of Horrors Complete (Pathfinder edition) and there is the Psiwyrm, a neutral evil psionic dragon. It doesn't list the...

You can never have enough monsters!!!

Actually, inspiration is a player in my group is designing a paladin as a follower of the dawnflower and taking the trait that allows them to add 2 points to damage if a critical hit is confirmed. I was looking for something that could temporarily allow the weapon (scimitar in this case) to be...

Definitely a no on the Original rules set, had these once and other than a novelty the rules did not seem that playable. On the otherhand I would easily drop at least $50 for a good reproduction of the Rules Cyclopedia. I wore out my original copy long ago and ran a campaign for several years...

I was thinking more along the lines of sometihing that lasts for fewer rounds but doesn't ruin the sword. Maybe a grease consisting of a flamable mixture that burns at a lower temperature but still can cause burn damage (maybe 1d4 per attack), provides some light equivalent to a torch while...

OH so glad I got into the Kick Starter!!! Sure I dropped a lot (for me) into the project but the return investment will be well worth it compared to the suggested retail cost after the fact. Kick Starter needs a function where you can type in key words and then when projects come up that match...

Is there any alchemical substance in print (either from Paizo or 3rd party) for a substance a fighter can add to his weapon (preferrably steel) that can then be lit and treated as a flaming sword or something to that effect?

Would that be so bad if WotC decided to give up on it? I don't think that would kill Dungeons & Dragons, after all it has lasted over thirty years now despite the mishandling on the business side. The fact that WotC decided to start selling the older edition stuff on RPGNow.com as well as...

I understand some of the frustrations of the multiple editions of the games and (as someone that started in the mid-80's as well) the ruleset hasn't necessarily grown in a direction that makes the game any more fun than the original white box. The bottom line is whatever game you play, you play...

The good old days! I remember the combat wheel that was in one of the Dragon magazines (don't remember the exact issue but probably in the 70's) That was actually a sweet and very usable DM tool. Started reading the first couple pages of this thread and it was mentioned that a 3.x revamp for...
