I have a few irregularly occurring Pathfinder games (one of which will be going on full time after my M&M Nightbane game finishes up.). All of them use Forgotten Realms (3.x) as "the base". What will likely be my RL group's "next major game" is currently on the Sword Coast between Baldur's...

Playing a warrior/spellcaster can be a challenge. Which do you see yourself falling more upon? It sounds like mobility and getting into the thick of things quickly and efficiently is a top priority for the character. Human would probably work the best if you wanted to get Spring Attack early...

I find that (semi)intelligent (but alien and enigmatic) items can add flavor to the game For example, in Ravenloft they had a few cloaker variants that mimicked normal cloaks until you put them on, and then they took you on a host. One acted like a ring of regeneration, getting its nourishment...

Besides Pathfinder, I'm doing mostly M&M nowadays. Winding down a very long (4 year) game set in the Nightbane universe using the M&M rules. Also have infrequently a Paragons game and a Freedom City Hero High game.

Are we talking the Pathfinder adventure paths, or just the Pathfinder RPG itself? I'm running games both in Forgotten Realms and in Green Ronin's Freeport using the Pathfinder RPG.

The DMG (3.0 version) had a burnt out gray ioun stone that cost 25 gp. All it did was float around your head in a normal ioun stone fashion. One particularly crazy thief of mine find it to be high fashion. The Nyambe African Adventures d20 setting had what it described as trinkets, small...

-Mutants and Masterminds- this would be my preference out of all the listed, since the rules itself are so modular and allow a wider ability to generate content on your own. -Nightbane- a personal favorite, despite the quirky mechanics, and has basically what you need in the first book...

Regarding some of the more troublesome instant transformation spells (baleful polymorph, flesh to stone), would it be possible to make them a bit... staged or progressive? By that I mean, instead of casting the spell and *bing* the targets are instantly transformed all at once, the target of...

What about the PDF market? That dynamic seems to be a bit different from the print market sold in stores. I'm not familiar with it at all, as I have only bought a few PDFs, but that probably should be taken into consideration as well.

Hmm, well, as far as gadgeteers go, Northern crown (3.5) has a natural philosopher that emulates spells but as extraordinary abilities powered by devices. In return for their abilities to be extraordinary, the natural philsopher's power selection is limited by the degrees the character selects...

My group has just convereted over from 3.5 and I have a player who is currently playing a pixie and is interested in taking the Arcane Trickster PrC. One of the requirements is being able to cast one arcane spell of at least second level. Does a creature's spell-like ablities qualify for this...

Moander, from the Forgotten Realms setting, died in the Time of Troubles, IIRC. Was there a series of modules for this realm-shaking event? Or was it just a bunch of novels? If there were modules, I'd guess this might be a good place to start looking for inspiration. I'm not famliar with any...

I've started a new 3.5 campaign soon and one of the players has expressed an interest in having his sneak attacks affect undead. I seem to recall a feat in either 3.0 or 3.5 that allowed a rogue's sneak attack to affect undead. Does anybody recall what this feat was and where it was located?

Die Vecna Die! might also come close, once you get into it, but again, not exactly what you're looking for/not a central theme. Hmm, didn't you come up against Lloth in Queen of the Demonweb Pits for 1e? She might have just been a demon lord back then though.

By deicide, do you mean killing a god? The other thing I can think of off the top of my head is the 2e Planescape module Dead Gods, but that only comes close in that you're trying to keep a god from coming back to life.

This is an awesome idea! Kudos to you and your players! I think there was an adventure involving an opera house, btw, in Ravenloft 2e, btw. Children of the Night: Werebeasts, IIRC, if you're wanting opera house adventures. As far as performance checks go, if you ever want to do a "battle of...

Hmm, well I understand Chainmal miniatures was a wreck before their success with the D&D minis, signifying they learned from the hurdles they ran into with Chainmail. Perhaps it's a chance for the designers to learn from the difficulties they ran into with Gleemax and use that experience to...

This is a really cool idea. Actually, it would be fun to play a whole party of siblings but of different races- perhaps the chldren and relatives of an eccentric mage (now dead) who really played around in his lifetime. A half-elf, a half-orc, a warforged (perhaps a relative that was a bit...

Were there ever any articles on Sune or Sharess in any of the Dragon magazine?

I'm not familiar with any of those systems except for M&M, but I feel it has a fairly good support of building custum steamtech devices with the Inventor and Artificer feats as well as Devices. If you're into more heroic/cinematic action, M&M might work well for you. The Worlds of Freedom...
