Sure. I've bought some books as PDF, and only later upgraded to hardcopy- Mastering Iron Heroes and Transcendence are two that come to mind (and the later I only got a copy because I think I had a discount, and I was finding the book very handy). Others, like Iron Heroes, I was so excited about...

Just looking at the SRD description, Fast Healing works like natural healing, with a few differences. Since natural healing can function at negative HP, Fast Healing would too, unless there's something in the specific creature's description that says otherwise. The half-vampire (from LM)...

Going from memory, I think the only first level ability is auras- they have access to three of them to start, 30 foot radius, I think. Swift action to maintain them, so no casting quickened spells and maintaining the aura. At first level, each aura only provides a bonus of +1; the DS in my...

For my Age of Worms game, I typed up a little background for each character; I didn't write their history, just gave them an idea of how they fit in. Four were natives to Diamond Lake, one was a dwarf exile who had lived their for years, and the other two were outsiders. In the backgrounds...

Both, with a bit of handwaving. Potions and scrolls, I assume they can be found in appropriate shops or temples. Other items, there is typically someone in town who can provide the service. I may make restrictions, but generally, items are something they can spend all that gold they've been...

It's only been highlighted in the Eberron game I play in. My Bone Knight starts out most combats on his undead stead. It is good for a few extra attacks (vicious template from LM), and hardy enough that I can dispel it before it dies for good. We also had a Talenta dino rider (who was working...

Monte Cook had a method for estimating in one of his Dungeoncraft articles- sounds kind of like what you have. When I was running Temple of Elemental Evil, I was doing a lot of conversion on the fly. Not quite the same as winging it, since I had something to work from, but I couldn't use the...

Thanks, I figured at least one undead did use negative energy- although for a game starting at 4th level, I imagine it will still be a long time before I see a lich. Although, by that time the DM might have forgotten about the feat, so it'll be a nice payoff- "The lich touches you for 10 points...

True, but it's more likely I'll run into something core. I thought that the only thing it would save me from was Inflict spells, but if I could expect to get a little more mileage out of it, that would make it all the more interesting. When I first thought of the feat, I thought it might...

For a campaign starting up, I'm thinking of taking Tomb-Tainted Soul (from Libris Mortis, p 31). Besides serving as a prereq for a couple other feats, Tomb-Tainted Soul causes you to be healed by negative energy and harmed by positive energy, as if you were an undead creature. So, with it I...

James Jacobs posted a pronunciation on one of the threads over on Paizo's AOW board. Looks like the wiki page agrees with him.

My AoW game started with one of the players making a Dragon Shaman. The auras have been nice, but 1st and 2nd level don't show it off too much. Another player brought in a Knight for the conclusion of ToEE- between the enemies and the constant buffs from the cleric, his abilites didn't come up...

I did it for some of my players in my first AU game, in part to allow players to see more of the classes, in part because some members of the group weren't as reliable at showing up as others, and I wanted a strong party at all times. Combat worked fine, but for RPing, it became the case of a...

Giving up a level or two of spellcasting is rough, but for many PRCs, I think the tradeoff is worth it. Sure, the first level power may not be worth that level of spellcasting, but in the long term, it balances out. In one game I'm in, the warmage went Elemental Savant, and he seems pretty...

Whispering Cairn doesn't strike me as that tough... provided your players know how to fight swarms. Most of mine seemed content to stand around and get eaten, but fortunatly, the sorcerer had taken the dragon heritage feat that let him convert spells into breath weapon. His damage rolls...

I'd like my games to reach a definite conclusion, and occasionally I pull it off. My AU game I ended with anticipation of AE's release, but I was able to tie up the major plot thread, with the players teaming up with the antagonistic NPC party to defeat the Evil awakening in the north. A lot...

It's XP at my table, but I think Knights of the Dinner Table (and by extension, Hackmaster) uses EP.

For 1 level, that would be a good idea- particularly the fast movement. I was thinking of a fighter/scout 4/3 (or thereabouts) to avoid multiclassing penalties.

Everytime I read that weapon name, I'm reminded of a Wormy strip. A group of goblins are scavenging on Wormy's table when they're attacked by hobgoblins. Needing a weapon, one of the goblins grabs a soup spoon and improvises.

Huh. I thought most of the warrior-type prestige classes handed out martial weapons, but I guess not. Odd, since I'm pretty sure Radiant Servant of Pelor does provide MWP. In that case, multiclassing with fighter is probably the best bet, and it gives out a few more feats- Dervish with Weapon...
