TanisFrey makes a good point, you don't need paperwork for your followers but there's also no need to just abandon them altogether. A buddy of mine used his followers very creatively, turning them into a spy network. But your trade off, no followers = -1 level for cohort seems fair. The...

Another quick question, if a player has a really in-depth background as a writer, really plays it up in game, even invents the Profession: Scribe, would it be wrong to give them a circumstance bonus on scribing a scroll?

Does it expend a spell if you scribe a scroll? Like, if my oracle makes a scroll of Cure Light Wounds and then goes adventuring, does he have one less spell for the day? Also, if you make the Magic Item do you have to have points in Use Magic Device?

25g isn't that expensive once you've been through a quest or two... Also, I don't know if you fully understood what I was saying. I'd just fill my quiver, that holds my arrows with it so that my arrows would get soaked with holy water. I was wondering if drawing them and firing them would have...

I had a thought today while I was at work. I was going through my last quest in the undead campaign I'm running and going over the strategy my paladin set up in the town that was being attacked by undead... flaming skeletons to be exact... and the main strategy was gratuitous use of holy water...

The point isn't exactly to wear plate. I was looking at the Dragon Disciple's racial bonuses and saw how they were kinda useless for a spellcaster class, at least for MY spellcasters because I always destroy my STR and who really needs a strong arm when you're laying down fireballs? The whole...

I have an idea for a character in an upcoming campaign and I'd like some feedback on this theory I have. First thing you do is you build your character exactly how you would build a Fighter. High STR and CON etc. The only things you have to do is put as many points in Knowledge Arcana as you...

It could just be because my playstyle tends towards the whole "dragon battle on a hilltop" style but I've found something in the magic items section, that, for whatever reason, just rubs me the wrong way. The Holy Avenger is a named magical item. And for a paladin it's a very good, very strong...

I'm running a horror campaign, which means a ton of undead and such. I have a good premise set up. A long ago defeated necromancer wasn't as defeated as people thought and now he's back and trying to hunt down the tools to help him conqueror/ destroy the world. Eventually he's going to assault...

I never used my claws on my Sorcerer (and with a 7 STR why would I?) but a free action is something you can do an unlimited number of time per round, at least by our interpretation, so popping your claws wouldn't take up any of your actions like loading a crossbow or preparing a spell or anything.

This might be against the spirit of the thread but why do you need a value for the phylactery? Are you going to be able to sell that ANYWHERE? Even if, for whatever reason, you wanted to sell it to a necromancer, each phylactery is specific to the Lich it's meant to create.

...or rather a lack thereof. I got a copy of the GameMastery Guide over the weekend and as I was reading through it I was amazed by all the tables. They have tables for almost everything. Using the tables in it, you can create a full dungeon crawl, essentially an entire gaming session in about...

Thanks for the input guys. I particularly like the serpentine eyes, metallic sheen to his skin and such. I did the same with my Dragon Disiciple. It was this big long thing were he got hit with this magic spell that was designed not to do damage, but just cause pain and a human body couldn't...

First off, I don't know if this carried over into Pathfinder (although the Draconic Sorcerer Bloodline certainly makes it seem so) but I have a question about dragons in the "human" form. We never really touched on the subject in our 3.5 games since our wonderful DM did everything he could to...

I'm considering running a military campaign for my next campaign. The players in a special forces unit etc. we're Pathfinder but I'm adapting the stuff from 3.5s Complete Warrior and I've got a lot of the trouble spots figured out but one is still bothering me. Treasure. Although the players...

My group falls into the generic Intelligence check when we run into tricky spots, but we're pretty good at finding places to fit things. One question we've been having trouble with is when we're fighting things like demons and such, not just your average Orc or Goblin. You should have to have...

Awesome backstory! I had an idea about your Ravenblade, I got the idea from my own thread about keeping personal background items. One thing my DM is allowing me to do is take the weapon to a Master craftsman to sharpen, re balance, polish and do whatever it is you'd do to a weapon to fix her...

I just use the standard stuff for Goblins in the Beastiary and didn't have any problems. Granted, after level one my players pretty much chewed them up and spat them out but hey, they ARE goblins. I don't think they're supposed to pose a threat to PCs.

Well the idea was that it's been used for so long that it's lost it's Masterwork status. And there's nothing to say that Dad and Gramps had to use it. It could still be a family heirloom passed down to their adventuring son.

A lot of good ideas guys, thanks. I've been approached with another idea. You take you weapon, in the case of Angus, my paladin, a warhammer, and the blacksmith does whatever it is you do to a warhammer that would be the equivalent of sharpening it, fixing a new shaft to the weapon and...
