1e: Favorite single class was Cleric, but I much preferred elven Fighter / Magic-Users. 2e: Specialty Priests. Good gravy, was that notion abusable as all get-out! (Priest of Isis? Can wear plate mail and function as a multi-class Cleric / Mage, despite being human? I couldn't take...

And that's probably your best bet. My mom makes cloth goods (quilts, etc.) and it seems that every place she goes to get bolts of fabric, they mention having two or three dedicated sewers to whom she can contract out some of her work. Find someone with the right sort of equipment, the right...

In case anyone had any doubts, Sue Tekh looks *nothing* like the picture she's posted on her Facebook page, making her also the goddess of internet exaggeration and crushing disappointment. Her holy animal is the coyote, and she'll tell you because she's a clever trickster. She lies.

Blackguard, Duskblade, Illblade, Hexblade, Fellblade, Death Knight, Shadow Knight, Slayer, Reaver, Reapers, Grim Knights, Blood Knight, Sanguinary, Liminal, Warrior on the Threshold, Gatekeeper, Watchman The last four referencing the warrior standing on the cusp between the material world and...

Looks good to me. Some of of the domains that have a less sexy 1st level power (as this one does, IMO) also come with some other freebie, like an extra class skill or something, so you might want to consider that. Over on the Paizo forums, there's a thread with some other conversions (mostly...

Trainers gossip that tigers, unlike lions, jaguars, leopards, etc. are extremely patient and tend to 'put up' with things that would cause one of the other big cats to snap at you. The rumor goes on to say that, after a certain unpredictable amount of time, where a lion would have snapped at...

They also have that classic monster, the Deep Crow.

Depends on how they heal. Do they conjure up positive energy? If so, an 'Animate Companion' type feature could be an option, as they channel positive energy into materials around them to form an animated object servitor. They might get a number of 'turning attempts' per day, and be able to use...

The Scarred Lands had a Monk PrC called the Brother of the Scarred Hand that had a pool of healing energy it could tap into to heal itself or others, and could also draw upon the life-force of others (as well as himself) to use for healing. The idea was sweet, but the mechanics were pretty...

Golarion has a Demon Lord named Xoveron, the Horned Prince, Lord of Gargoyles and Ruins. He doesn't have Domains listed, but Chaos, Destruction, Earth and Evil seem to make sense. In that setting, Xoveron appears to loathe cities and civilization, and want to bring them all to ruin, haunted only...

Number one thing that needed fixing, IMO, was the problems inherent in trying to design a fantasy game, while holding one side of the system (PCs) to a different standard than the other side of the system (NPC / monsters). The problem with Summoning/Calling spells, Shapeshifting, Mind Control...

It's subjective. You can watch a movie where Sarah Conner or Ellen Ripley get thrown around repeatedly and never think 'violence against women' because the antagonist is an alien or robot, not a man. Or you can watch Buffy, and even though the things slamming her around are monsters, some of...

A Ring of Sustenance would be my death. I enjoy eating, which means I'd keep doing it, and if the Ring is providing all of my nutritional needs, that just means that everything I shove in my gob would turn straight to fat... They'd have to bury me in a shipping container! A Sphere of...

I never read enough of the Dying Earth stuff to even notice these details, as the story itself bored me (granted, I was like 12, but considering that I'd read the Silmarillion, the Illiad and most of HP Lovecraft by then, I had a pretty high tolerance for dry reading). I did read the Thomas...

I almost never play a character *mechanically* against type, but I do often choose something less common to the region, because the local choices might not appeal to me much. I'm not the sort to play a Halfling Monk 'just to be different.' I am the sort to play a Dwarven Cleric of the wargod...

There was a 2nd edition spell that allowed one to shape water into solid shapes. Given hundreds of years to play around with it, the elves might have created a temple to the gods of nature out of solidified (but still transparent, and even flowing) water rising up out of the surface of the...

With Selective Channeling and a Cha of 13, you can channel in BBEG fights where's it's the entire party vs. one big bad dude without trouble, so it's at least situationally useful to channel-heal during combat for a positive energy channeler, as those sorts of fights do occur from time to time...

I feel like such a schmoe for just saying 'this' but he beat me to it. An 'apology' means bupkiss to me. Make stuff I want, and I'll buy it.

The second movie was meh. It was like a shout-out fest of geeky D&D references, but not a single one of the characters leapt out and grabbed my interest. I didn't even *notice* the wizard in the party until she teleported into a pillar, and the scene where the paladin-dude has to remove her arm...

What Nikmal said. Over time, it seems that many boards get inbred, self-affirming and defined by groupthink. Hanging around two or three different messageboards (for D&D, I do ENWorld, Paizo and Giants In the Playground) helps to keep my options open. I don't want to get shut in and become...
