For feats I took Sudden Call and Strengthening Spirit, deciding to focus on the spirit. Only having to spend a minor action to dismiss and resummon my Spirit Companion is invaluable for me as a Healer, and the ability to position the spirit where it makes the most use is awesome in a very...

I would suggest equalizing Str and Int, for both the better Fortitude and for better Opportunity Attacks, for example. Str 15, Int 15 and a Genasi works well. I also second Arcane Implement Proficiency and pick Heavy Blades. If you favor mobility, taking a Glaive might be a useful idea (I...

While I'd love to see Goblins as a playable race, I think they should come together with Hobgoblins and Bugbear to complete the Eberron "playable races". Just giving us Goblins seems shortsighted and impopular. But then, we are getting one Gith but not another...

The Ardent makes me reconsider going back to 4E design and finishing those 22 levels of Society Mind we have already written...

Oh I'm not afraid of provoking OAs, I am thinking about successfully utilizing OAs against nearby enemies. That way I can move closer to ranged enemies like Artillery myself, forcing them to move away from me, blocking charge paths to more vulnerable allies (I mean, I have 35 hp and 10 healing...

Claws of the Eagle it seems to be then! I kinda like the power from the start! :D

Since I am using a Totemic Spear it feels that either a Melee1 attack or non-spirit attacks overall is a little bit of a waste since the Totemic Spear gives my "Spirit Bear" a reach of 2 as well. I am considering taking Melee Training (Wis) just to be able to defend myself adequately in melee...

I talked to the GM about it and he is willing to offer "Leather Armor Expertise" up (essentially HAE but for Leather) so that looks like it's gonna be one of the feats. We just leveled up and I came to the conclusion that by the encounters we had, Winter's Touch was never used - the Spirit...

To be entirely correct, Pathfinder was born out of the GSL - its delays and hardnosed first draft more or less forced Paizo to either close down or to find another way. As has been pointed out before, game rules cannot per se be copyrighted so Paizo could've easily gone ahead and defined their...

Ok, I think I need to explain how our racial mods work. Our houserule is that you always get a +2 bonus to the Ability which is primary for your class/build (thus the +2 to Wisdom) and then the 2nd bonus goes to either of the two "racial" bonuses (thus the +2 to Constitution). If you race has a...

Hi guys! I ended up in a "Primals Only" game after a few back and forths and have a Hobgoblin Shaman (don't worry about the race, a few house-rules in effect there) with the following stats: Str 12 Con 18 Dex 8 Int 12 Wis 18 Cha 10 (Racial mods were +2 to Wis, +2 to Con - houseruled) I'm...

I am curious whether this is a Divine or Psionic class. Or if we are seeing the birth of the first dual-sourced class?

War Mind posted, Thrallherd coming today if all things go well. PsyWar at the end of the week! Whohoo! :D

Funny to see how some of the 4E-detractors in this thread are now 4E DMs, or how some people who were positive turned out to be offended. Even more interesting are the predictions of 3.5 support and how it turned out. Going back a few years can be fun!

Has anyone tried using the WHFRP3 rules for D&D?

I'll make sure to pick up those specifics and then go wild :D I take it I might even make a pretty good melee combatant and still be healery since all of that is minor actions (or enhances those).

We've done a few combats without miniatures - some were handwaved setting-wise, some used counters to explain general set up. However, I find that since my players got used to miniatures, they are having a harder time visualizing now than 2 years ago when we never played with minis. Do you have...

Just talked to the GM and he has added a House Rule for races, which extends the possibilities. In essence, you get +2 to the Primary Ability of your Class, and get to CHOOSE one +2 from the two available to the race. So a Halfling Cleric would get +2 to WIS (if I choose a WIS-primary build)...

The GM isn't imposing any other restrictions on healing, but has warned us that we will be facing higher level opponents most of the time. Also, while Khalashtar aren't on the list, I'm sure they might be as soon as the GM notices he forgot them ;) But, does anyone have suggestions on race? I...

Hi! We are gearing up for a game in the Iron Kingdoms, a world known for its lethality. I am considering playing a Leader, and specifically one focused on healing. All classes are possible except Shaman and Artificer, and most races except Deva, Dragonborn, Warforged or Changelings are...
