Actually... the Alchemist class already gets an extract called "Elemental Touch". Not quite the same, as it does a different and ongoing effect, but it's pretty much in the vein of the idea you were thinking of. For the actual items in questions. The problem is that the glove itself doesn't...

It says that unattended objects are considered "weightless" gravity (ie, floating in space with no gravity). So I'm guessing if something is sent flying in a direction, it just goes on forever with that momentum. Firing shots that have potential to fly into space and you have no idea where or...

Are they spending time in the Astral plane, or the Outer planes? Because the Astral is a transitive plane. It's mostly empty silvery space with a few pockets of "stuff" that spills over from the planes it touches. Think along the lines of what space is like for us in the real world. Not that...

By 11th level, a standard Fighter wearing Mithral armor would have a 0 armor check penalty even in full plate. That, and he can have a Dex bonus of 6, so it's not like he has to "dump" dexterity either. The only thing missing would be the class skill bonus, which is now only a +3 modifier...

A young dragon is CR 7. The figuring of wondrous power of a Marble Elephant creates a CR 7 elephant as a mount, beast of burden or combatant (ie, used as if it were a real elephant), for 4x per month, up to 24 hours each time. This costs 17,000gp. The twin lions (16,500gp) create a CR 5...

Jack the Gladiator, aka "Jack of all Blades" Human Fighter Str 17, Dex 14, Con 12, Int 8, Wis 14, Cha 8 (15 PB with racial +2 to Str) Stat Increases: 4th +1 Str, 8th +1 Con, 12th +2 Con, 16th +2 Str, 20th +3 Str Stats at level 20 with a belt of physical might +6: Str 26, Dex 20, Con 20...

You could give the class abilities normally gained at 7th and 8th level as special "epic" (ie, must be 6th level) feats. That way you keep the spirit of E6 by keeping the BAB, Saves, spells, etc, at 6th level... but still open up some of the class defining abilities. A lot of the first couple...

I think some of you might want to qualify what your stating. "Bad at Stealth" implies "bad at stealth in general". Which is absolutely false for the Rogue. He can get a very high check for Stealth, and perform stealth actions with less penalties/faster. "Bad at entering stealth in combat" is...

The design idea of E6 takes the game closer to how the standard gameplay works in Mutants and Masterminds. Basically, you pick a power level and play at that level for the majority of gaming. Maybe a boost or change in powers when it's thematically appropriate (Red Gamma rays hit your character...

They increased the number of things that can be sneak attacked, but they took out a number of good ways for a Rogue to trigger his sneak attack on his own (blur spell, grease, etc). Which leads to my comment on internet theory-crafting. People like to judge what a class can do based on the...

The reason Leadership was moved to level 7 was because there was no feat at 6th level anymore (happening every odd level now, instead of 1st, 3rd and every 3 levels). The requirements make more sense as to when you'd get a feat to choose it. Since E6 caps your level at 6th, I'd say the...

It sounds familiar in a story sense, in that I might have read it in a novel or something. Never heard of it in a gaming context before. Possibly as an Epic spell? Remember this spell isn't just affecting the poor cleric... the desire is two way here. Typically it takes other gods to block a...

This is where the Bard's skills might come into play more than the barbarian... although he will still have to kill the things.

I like that idea! Shield Other on an unreachable cleric or oracle to give the creature an unreasonable amount of hitpoints for a low CR creature to get the multi-round combat you want. I ran an encounter with Shield Other a while back, where the PCs neglected to take down the person giving...

Considering the people talking about the class that I'm referencing are completely neglecting to mention whole features, I think the onus is on them for giving the impression that they aren't reading through the class. I'm sorry if I annoyed you with my comment, but I'm only able to respond to...

The classes don't replace them. They are choices alongside them. However, you can't be a Fighter 1 / Gunslinger 1, and that's what people are talking about. These classes are meant to be similar to the Cavalier/Rogue/Fighter because they are meant to be alternative versions. But no one is...

The posts you were responding to were about how Pathfinder runs familiars/animal companions, so I was clarifying that it still wouldn't work even if you ported over the Arcane Heirophant. The line was a typo at best, not a clear pass to level up your familiar (that's meant for jefgorbach, not...

Considering some of the sentences you wrote are verbatim to a thread already going on over in the Beta test forums, I'll probably leave my thoughts on the Katana alone in this thread. I've seen some of the comments you've made for the Samurai repeated by more than a few others in the beta test...

Answer to #1 - Only the things that count against leadership will count. Leadership is about using your Charisma to make people want to be with you and follow your orders. If you are paying them, then you don't need Charisma, so purchased creatures or hired help (of any kind) won't count...

That might have been the case in 3.5e or 3.0e, but in Pathfinder even the druid's animal companion (and so the Paladin and Cavalier's mounts), all have HD based on the chart, not the bestiary entry. After 2nd level, the HD of the animal companion is equal or lower to the character anyways. Even...
