    Dragonia Campaign Setting

    Hmm, interesting premise (though reading the name in the thread title I thought this was making a high fantasy vaguely medieval adaptation of Paranoia). So, dragonborn seem like knights for the dragons, who themeelves act as feudal lords yet are the vassals for the Elder Dragons. These dragons...

    Dragonborn Sorceror Decides to Drink Blood

    Not much to suggest here except that I like how you adjusted your attitude from objection of how he did something unexpected to how can this be made into a noteworthy addition the campaign. Fresh players like this are sometimes a blessing because they always shake things up a little bit and...

    What demands would the Fairy Queen make?

    She demands them to give up something sacred they cannot regain once given- their dignity! That is, they entertain the fey elite by singing heartfelt, decidedly un-adventurey songs and do other potentially humiliating but poignant activities. That is, they must cater and generally make a gala...

    So how's Kingmaker working out?

    Just like what the thread title says, how's it turning out? I'm interested primarily in hearing the experiences from those who are playing or running it. I've heard it's pretty nonlinear unlike other adventure paths. Is that true?

    Adventures where you've already lost

    Okay, so if I'm correctly getting this adventure outline/structure right, it would flow something like this: Part 1: The characters learn of some vague plot by those wacky cultists. The party spends some time investigating their plot and learning just how far the cultists have got. Fear...

    Compiled list of spells w/o somatic components

    Ok, so I'm thinking about other means to get around arcane spell failure. Another way to do an endrun around it is to cast the spells outside of combat and before donning armor. Since donning armor takes time (anywhere from taking 5 rounds to don light armor hastily to 4 minutes with help from...

    What monster abilities do you hate and why?

    Both as a player and a DM... energy drain. Too much recalculations and too much of a downer. Ability damage/drain is a substitute that I'm ok with (not really great, but it'll do), it seems to get those fearful reactions while cutting down on energy's undesired traits.

    Compiled list of spells w/o somatic components

    The listing of bard spells has now been added (I did not initially include them since bards don't suffer from arcane spell failure due to wearing light armor.) One thing I've noticed now, upon reflection, is that the oddball assortment of mage and bard spells they have a few trends. First of...

    Compiled list of spells w/o somatic components

    If you're asking regarding my own list in this thread, I created it from the Pathfinder core rulebook version of the spells. However, for the spells I mentioned two posts back as missing from your list I double checked the 3.5 D&D PHB versions and they have no somatic components, just like the...

    Wishing for Immortality (Unaging actually)?

    Well, for what it's worth, the path to lichdom may represent a shortcut (although the method isn't defined in Pathfinder, IIRC in previous editions you could become a lich several levels earlier than you could cast Wish). Also, there is a big difference between the types of immortality we're...

    Pathfinder 1E Gauging interest in a romero style zombie setting for Pathfinder fantasy, not modern

    I haven't looked at your stuff, but one passing thought given the casualty rates in zombie apocalypse. In a highly lethal setting with lots of PCs deaths and as long as it takes in 3.X to make a character, I think you should make some suggestions for dealing with a fair amount of PC deaths...

    Compiled list of spells w/o somatic components

    Hey, that's a pretty awesome resource! Didn't know somebody else had already done a lot of the legwork for 3.X. I caught a few spells there I missed that also don't have somatic components in Pathfinder (Flare, Feather Fall, and Charm Monster have now also been added.) I cross referenced my...

    Wishing for Immortality (Unaging actually)?

    I tend to agree with this. There's nothing really mechanically broken about this at all (in fact, going out of your way to do it would just be mostly for rping/in character reasons. The only thing I see that might be an issue is for flavor/dramatic purposes (how much does it take to become...

    Compiled list of spells w/o somatic components

    I've been considering playing a fighter/mage type build, so I went and looked through all the spells that don't have somatic components (and thus don't cause arcane spell failure). Thought it would same somebody else some time if I posted my list here. These are all from the Pathfinder core...

    I don't have any villains.

    Surely in their meandering they've had to make SOME kind of enemies, even ones that they don't know of. Looking at what you've mentioned, here's a few ides: -Where did they get the Endless decanters? Did they make it? Perhaps somebody else wants it (back)? -the ogres have to have some...

    Build your own adventure path

    Adventure paths are something I’ve always felt ambivalent about. On the one hand, they’re often filled with cool ideas and detailed to a high degree, useful to a dm with a lack of time or inspiration. On the other hand, many are fairly linear and aren’t really customized for the home group...

    How do i keep NPC's around?

    Well, first of all, know that you can't directly control how your players react. You can influence them to some degree, but it's up to them to decide how they react in and out of character. That said, it's good that your players are giving you some constructive feedback on their experiences...
