Back in beta, while Pathfinder had been in the process of coming up with combat maneuvers and what bonuses to apply, I had come up with this idea: Combat Maneuvers Skills When making a combat maneuver check, use one of the following skills. Combat Stunt (Str, untrained): Used to make bull...

Here's the deal behind the Acrobatics vs CMD: Acrobatics has a d20 roll, ranks, a +3 class skill bonus, and +Dex. That's before any extra modifiers. CMD has 10 (substituting the roll), BAB (equivocal to skill ranks now), +Str, +Dex, and a size modifier that only gets significant once you get...

Nice! Note that there's a few good metamagic combinations that might fill out some of those spell slots. Such as: Quickened True Strike, Teleport Heightened Blindness/Deafness, Shout, Suggestion, Geas, etc. Empowered/Maximized Shout Extended Blur, Displacement, Geas, etc However, if you are...

Reincarnate is a 4th level spell that bypasses the aging problem. It is a spell that needs to be effectively re-cast every so many years to maintain that un-aging effect. Is it that hard to imagine that a spell 4 levels higher being capable of doing this one thing? It's not even immortality...

I believe the quote you originally responded to was saying that medium animals should have 1 HD, and then physical stats that make them powerful. HD is mostly about training. You can make up most physical combat stuff by slapping on a lethal attack (any form of natural weapon), and pump the...

Hey Morrus... just curious. Is there a Nina Glibglammer asleep somewhere? Reading the description of Madness again, it bears striking resemblance to prisoner zero. I might have to tweak the adventure's ending a bit...

Madness is incorporeal while looking like the gnome. This sentence sounds odd, but you have to read Madness' stat block: So she has to be incorporeal to project the image of the gnome. Otherwise, she's actually just incorporeal and a Huge non-euclidean snake that flickers between dimensions...

Madness is a special case for Trilliths, being that she is pretending to be a gnome most of the time while being incorporeal (it's a unique ability to her, not all trilliths). So, you are right. Singing the song of forms would make her spontaneously reveal her true form by using debris or other...

Re: Reasons to go to the Forbidden Valley In adventure 5, you start everything off with a meeting with Simeon talking about how they've lost contact with people who were sent to the monastery. Granted, their mission is to prevent ragesia from laying waste to the monastery, however it shouldn't...

I wrote up and ran a Witch encounter for my group a while back. The original pregen encounter was set up with three "witches" as a Cleric (healer/debuffer), a Druid (melee oriented) and a Wizard (debuffer). Instead, I ran two witches (for the debuffers and healers), and a Hag (for the melee)...

I ran into this exact situation when playing the 3.5e version in Pathfinder. Here's what I did to convert the Inquisitors: Inquisitor Class (modified Cleric) Skills Lose access to Diplomacy and Heal as class skills. Gain Intimidate and Use Magic Device (see Inquisition Domain) as class...

I'm the one Volaran is talking about. I played in the 3.5 version up to 9, and am currently running the game. Pathfinder suits the game well. Conversion hasn't been hard at all really, since the campaign was written to allow modification (it seems like each adventure was designed to also be...

That's essentially what my suggestion does, except that it builds it into the class and lets it make sense without having to ret-con things. Personally, I'm a very flexible DM, and am willing to work with the players to change a class or class abilities to get the right flavour/mechanics they...

Yeah. My meaning was along the lines of "If you are set on changing the fighter, this is what should be changed". Basically, if you need change, don't give more power, give more options. I just kind of tossed that in there as an example. Those would have been every odd level (1st, 3rd, 5th...

Also, while I'm at it, I'd add some kind of morale boosting bonus. Yeah, yeah... Bards. But follow me on this one: Who is the guy that most movies, tv shows, literature, etc, all have as the leader of the group? Who is the person the average commoner looks up to and admires and wants to...

The reason I'd see fixing the Fighter's linear progression is to give him more options. A Wizard (or Sorcerer) isn't just getting more "power" at higher levels, he's getting more options that can be interchanged and swapped out as needed. What the Fighter needs is some way to compete with...

I am running a group through War of the Burning sky now, and here's how I handled the imp. All the characters failed their checks for noticing the raven tailing them, however they did notice the rat near the entrance to the secret door (and didn't think anything out of the ordinary at first)...

Not really anything to do with the conversation... but can't you just limit your uploading in your favorite torrenting program to 0 connections? Or 0 bandwidth.. whichever way the program deals with that? Then you are only downloading, and not technically sharing at all. It's bad piracy...

Yeah, that's quite a big stretch. At most, I could maybe infer that he means that this request will fail... not the game. Games are currently capable of success despite people pirating them. Regarding whether this request will work.. keep in mind that the plea is to those that are downloading...

It's all about what info you have, and the perspective you look at it. People are always pirating your game.. lots of people. Even at it's peak, the numbers were ~6:1 ratio. Now consider this: 1. The game didn't have a Demo. So if someone wanted to try out the game before buying it, they had...
