    D&D 3.x Curious about Pathfinder vs. 3.5E

    Add Rogues have tougher time qualifying for sneak attack. While less Immunities, you still need to qualify, 3.5 had more qualifiers (Grease, Blink, etc).

    I did not notice they changed Darkness. Thanks for posting that text. Good to know.

    Darkness vs. Major Image (and others)

    Darkness doesn't help Darkvision, it doesn't make the room darker either. It makes shadowy illumination (nothing more and allows nothing less). So the enemies don't get any benefit.

    Barbarian Handbook

    Yeah, you totally can. Parthfinder allows you to change alignments. Who cares if you are an ex-Monk, you lose nothing. Start Monk (go Non-lawful), go Barbarian (party) Obviously a Str based Monk when you are a level 1 Monk. You can go 2 for evasion if that is your thing though. If game starts...

    Barbarian Handbook

    I disagree here. Armored Hulk: makes you faster in med/heavy armor than a normal Barbarian in Med Armor(Barbarian can't use Fast Movement in Heavy and only 30 feet in Med, Armored Hulk ends up 35 ft in Med/Heavy armor). And you don't lose any AC (are you talking about Dex mod?). Yes, a Barb in...

    Half-dragon as a class

    The precedent of Lich has two examples: Dry Lich Prc (no La as you take the Prc) or Dread Necromancer (Free Lich template no LA). But Dread Necromancer is unique as it is done in Beguiler format (know all spells, cast spontanously, actual class features to emulate a Lich). If he did...

    The Gamers' Guide to Player Types

    In regards to dipping: Oracle (Lame) lets a Barbarian end Rage and restart it without being fatigued. Meaning 1/rage powers become 1/rd: this opens up options. I am interested in a Words of Power discussion. No guide is ever been created.

    Why Did The Game Wimp Out On Monks?

    Hit/run character. I know 3.5 had feats for that in PHB 2, but Monk never had any hit/run alternate class features.

    Does anybody else hate the Point Buy Sell Off?

    Actually, you can get a stat higer than 18. 18 +2 =20. The 18 limit is before racials.

    D&D 3.x Designing 8th-level character [3.5]

    What PB are we using? Is wealth NPC Gear so 9400 or PC Gear 27000? Why isn't invulneable allowed? What do you mean? Are buffs allowed before fight begins? Core only, 5 magic items (includes potions?), 8th, non-evil 1st idea: Bard 8, he uses Facinate (high Init to win/go first) then Suggest...

    Monstrou Warrior

    Do you own Magic of incarnum? You could just be an Totemist: they can bind chakras that grant natural weapons. Wings can be gained thr template, another chakra, etc. Changelings are the best version: They qualify for Warshaper (Complete Warrior Prc). You will have to drink potions of enlarge...

    Hiring mercenaries?

    Only Leadership has penalties to gettin' more. Hirelings aren't followers. So just pay double (hazard pay). You are already paying more than they make in a year in town. With chance as glory and riches. In 1E and 2E you even gave your hirelings treasure like all the crappy +1 weapons you found...

    Alignment Question - Chaotic Neutral or Chaotic Evil?

    Sorry, even good aligned can do that stuff. Good does not mean = not a jerk. So he is not CE. He is just a jerk.

    Shadow Master

    True, but starting as a MS at lv 4 (my listed way), instead of level 7 (When Cleric has +5 base Will) means you are farther along ability wise.

    Synthesist as a tank?

    Yes, but the drawback, when lose all temp you lose it. Second: healing spell don't heal it. Only that cure Eidolon spell so you must be your own healer. Unlike a Pally who heals self as swift action (Lay on hands), you need to draw the wand or cast the spell yourself (using up action you could...
