As a DM of an Urban Druid, I allow spells on a case-by-case basis. The player brings up the spell he is interested in using, and then I decide if it will be on his class list or not. If it is, I ask him to pencil it in the spell list of the photocopy of the article he uses. Generally, I allow...

Can you whisper a bardic music ability and affect someone whom you have cast message upon?

Well, Okay. Now that I got my "but Fighter is already the Weapon Master" disclaimer out there. I have played a 22 level crit monster that had all ten levels of the Weapon Master prestige class years ago in 3.0. Lots of fun. Lots of damage. Lots of dice rolling! With a full attack, I...

I have created a prestige class for a player whose character was specialized with the greatsword. You can read it here. It's pretty powerful, but a character does need to be 11th level before entering the class. Since then, I realized that there should be no weapon master prestige class...

I have been playing in the first pathfinder adventure path and I'm running the second path. There has been several opportunities in these adventures for overrun. For example, the bad guy is standing in a hallway and only one person can directly reach him, and although one or two more adjacent...

I am playing a human Chelaxian in the first Pathfinder adventure path. Chellaxians are expansionist colonist whose empire has fallen a century ago. Chellaxian treat halflings as second class citizens. My character is a cloistered cleric of Irori with a non-combatant halfling assistant. The thing...

Hygiene Sorry this took so long. I wasn't able to reference my Arcana Evolved for a while. Heightened Effects in this case means casting it as a 1st-level spell.

Hygene Unearthed Arcana has a spell, hygene, that cleans one person if you cast it as a 0-level spell, and cleans several people when cast as a 1st level spell. I found it interesting that the simple idea of allowing us to wake up clean compelled me to prepare that spell every day, using up a...

Although I don't own a Kindle, I provide support for Kindle at work. I do not recommend using Kindle for PDFs, specifically PDFs of reference books such as gaming books. Kindle is best for reading novels and non-fiction books that are similarly formatted. Although they can be used for viewing...

Slimes, Molds, and Fungi.

Unless the box is lead-lined, O'Chul would be able to know right away if the MitB was evil.

Anytime the game involves breaking into a secure location, such as the kingdom's treasury in a castle, a high-security prison, or the headquarters of a thieves' guild, you can bet the players will spend hours trying to come up with ways to break in with cleverness and then end up doing a frontal...

I can think of a couple of possible concerns that is driving the player. 1) She's concerned that you will be able to get more "spotlight" time and also to be able to "work the world" to your benefit. You already have a strong relationship with the DM, which may concern the player that you will...

In one of my games, I allowed a player to dump favored enemy and choose fighter feats for those levels where he would gain favored enemy. He also dumped ranger spells in exchange for counting ranger levels for fighter levels so he can take the fighter-exclusive feats. Was it balanced? Probably...

After running dragons, this spell would benefit them greatly. Normally, they have to fly forward 45 degrees taking double moves to ascend. My players have been using it to good effect. Clerics normally don't have any good utility magic to move around and they normally don't have any ability to...

I'll start this off with the excellent 1000 non-RPG websites for RPG ideas thread.

Dragons are supposed to be magical creatures. But from a game point of view, Dragons casting magic spells provides a "wildcard" effect. Your players and their characters can know everything there is to defeat a red dragon. But it will have a unique array of spells to keep things a little...

And that's why I'm the Lawful Good Rules Lawyer for my group.

There is a cost involved to be able to avoid Attacks of Opportunities while casting. It's a cost that I have chosen not to pay for several of my characters. A halfling cleric. I needed those skill points to go to other skills, so i kept his Concentration low. Since he was an archer, it would...

Whenever something is borderline, and you don't want to take the time to search for material density charts. Just make it a 50/50 chance. If the player can only affect 60 lbs. There's half a chance that he will be able to affect a door or not.
