    Redundant Rogue Talents? And Major Magic.

    By the way, you can't flank with a wand (unless you plan to stab your enemy with it as an improvised weapon).

    Redundant Rogue Talents? And Major Magic.

    http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/v5748btpy8igw The ninja is okay, although it might be nerfed because people are complaining it's stronger than rogue or monk (it is, but I don't see that as a bad thing).

    Redundant Rogue Talents? And Major Magic.

    A wand of scorching ray would cost 90 gp per shot. Also, even a commoner would be good at stealth if buffed by others. Certainly, a rogue would be better, but than, a buffed ranger would be better than the rogue. Concerning the shadow dancer, to become better at stealth the rogue has to stop...

    Redundant Rogue Talents? And Major Magic.

    Ah, I was referring to Improved Quarry. Instant Enemy is a 3rd level ranger spell that lets the ranger treat a creature as one of his favored enemies. The Pathfinder ranger wasn't that bad to begin with and still got much greater boosts in the APG than the rogue. What's the point of the rogue...

    Redundant Rogue Talents? And Major Magic.

    The Ranger has better stealth abilities, better combat abilities, better spellcasting and a pet. The only thing the rogue has is trapfinding and even that is available to the ranger (though getting it hurts is stealth potentials). And the difference in the combat abilities is extreme, by 20th...

    Redundant Rogue Talents? And Major Magic.

    No camouflage, no hide in plain sight. They are much better in stealth than they are in combat, but considering how stealth is their shtick, one would think they'd be the class with the best stealth options.

    Redundant Rogue Talents? And Major Magic.

    Yeah, Swords of Subtlety are nice, although they aren't affordable until level 9 or so. Also there are people that don't allow further enchantment of specific weapons and armor. Still one of the best specific magic weapons.

    Redundant Rogue Talents? And Major Magic.

    Not to mention all the threads about bards being useless ... In my opinion, rogues have two major flaws in Pathfinder: 1. They don't hit. 2. They aren't that good in stealth. They were also very soft targets but with the change to offensive defense at least this problem got much smaller. Any...

    Redundant Rogue Talents? And Major Magic.

    The monk got brass knuckles and the Zen Archer archetype. The barbarian got some rather nice archetypes and rage powers. The rogue got the urban ranger which killed the rogue and took his stuff.

    Rating Rogue Talents

    Powerful sneak should never be used. It's horrible. The only time it's useful is when you would only hit on a 20 without it or on a 2 when using it. The average damage per sneak die rolled is increased by less than 5 percent. Even without the penalty it would not be a very good choice since...

    Question about Sohei in Dragon #318

    It's just a 3.5 update of the class.

    There are also MMOs where you can gain money by selling ingame items or characters.

    Dungeon Tiles Master Set The Wilderness includes DT4 Ruins of the Wild

    Nice. I already have two sets of Ruins of the Wild, but this way, I should be able to create large areas.

    Marshal conversion?

    The Warmaster from OWCs Genius Guide to the Warmaster (also reprinted in the Adventurer's Handbook) comes pretty close to the 3.5 marshal.

    More Classes Essentialized or more support for current classes?

    Well, the essential variants feel rather distinct, too. Or are you arguing that knights and slayers are too similar? Or scouts and hunters?

    More Classes Essentialized or more support for current classes?

    If there can be striker fighters, controller rangers and leader druids, there is certainly place for controller clerics and striker paladins.

    Will the new DDi situation increase the market for 3PPs?

    Since the official character builder was often named the main reason third party supplements weren't succesful, will the dissatisfaction with the current web based character builder and the initiative for fan upgrades increase the willingness of players to use third party content?

    Feats for a Zen Archer Monk

    Even with only two rolls Perfect Strike nearly doubles your chance to crit. It becomes more appearant if you imagine a confirmation roll even without a threat. Say, your character needs a 15 to hit. The following combinations would be crits (20,15),(20,16),(20,17),(20,18),(20,19),(20,20)...
