Awesome strip! :) Xykon is my favorite OOTS villain and I must say I am rooting for him in this fight. Actually, it would be nice if defeated V joined team evil, perhaps even as the Monster in the Dark escaped to the OOTS team. Hopefully, the Monster in the Dark won't switch teams immediately...

Very useful information - thanks Sep. Oh, and I must say I like Nwm's nomenclature! :)

Indeed! :) I must say that I am not a fan of the 3E epic level system of spellcasting or its other parts and would not dare to run a game using that system, but Sep has somehow managed to make it work really, really well for him. The spells are amazingly epic in Sep's game. :)

This is a very valid point. The experience of the power boosts to the base classes will differ based on to what extent the more powerful prestige classes were used in the group already.

I don't know how exactly you implement Action Points, but I use what I call Luck Points in my game, which essentially enable the character to boost a roll. If that is what you mean by action points, than I agree that they are a good idea. If you mean something different, can you explain...

The hit point increases apply to both PCs and NPCs. If both PCs and NPCs are fighting each other and have twice as many hit points, everything else being equal the combat will last twice as long provided that hit points are not bypassed somehow. Obviously, the doubling of hit points does not...

I was going to respond to this earlier, but I forgot while writing other responses - sorry about that. I want to say that I somewhat agree with you, but not completely. In principle, it would be possible to balance spellcasters by altering the spells. In practice, however, unless these are...

That was an epic battle! It is also interesting to see more and more hints of transcendence of various divisions. The Dark Choir continues to obey Eadric. The behavior of the former celestials/new devils indicates that the Fall and assertion of free will does not have to be absolute - it does...

Hello Jason, Actually, your answer is going to fly with me. I know that many of the issues have been raised during the playtest (after all, I was often raising them, he, he). I guess the other thread just reminded me of the issues while waiting for the final version and prompted me to comment...

Heh, I disagree completely. I would say boosting hit points is a particularly bad way of increasing power-level. This is especially the case, since the biggest hit point boosts, both in absolute terms and even more so in relative terms accrue to the previously low-hit point classes... wizards...

Well thanks! :) Here is the part I most want to comment upon: I agree that based on the BETA these do not appear to pose much of a danger - at least not to the exent that it becomes difficult to house-rule it out. We don't know what will make it to the final version, but it seems that...

Awesome - I love these more frequent updates! :)

Yeah, I only got onboard with Pathfinder with the start of the Pathfinder RPG, so I am not familiar with the prior products or the adventures (I tend to do my own adventures anyway, though admitedly I do hear on various internet fora consistently that Paizo/Pathfinder adventures are truly...

Forked from: Pathfinder - sell me The above-linked thread rekindled the discussion that we have had a few times already on the overall power level, as well as power differences between the classes in Pathfinder and 3.5E. Increase in power-level as compared to 3.5E belongs among my main...

Thank you for the enlightening post. I did not realize the GSL prevents redefinition in the way you describe. To my mind that prohibition defeats much of the purpose of the (relatively) open license, which is to make the core product (in this case the 4E PHB) appealing to a wider audience - an...

Can anybody give me a basic idea of how those chase rules work?

Although my gamestyle generally would not need such rules, I can certainly see why these could be important for some gamestyles. :)

That is good to hear. :) I certainly understand your reluctance to reveal further information on the matter prematurely.

Whoa, that is an impressive number of publishers! :)

Hello Sadrik, It is somewhat hard to do a sales pitch on the PFRPG given that it is not out yet and we do not know what the final version will contain. Even the previews have not really started coming out yet. We could do a sales pitch based on what was in the BETA version, but we don't know...
