In Pathfinder, it is balanced around 4 or 5 PCs, not just 4. And there's no simple CR equivalency - not that there really was on in 3.x either. Yes and no - other feats got nerfed. The only universal statement you can say with any degree of truth is simply that some feats changed. Couple...

Not at all - I use a different cost of living scale as well (I prefer the one in Ptolus) but I figured it wouldn't hurt to establish the baseline. The titles harken back to the sort of meta-game nonsense typical of the 1e era - and something that I miss. I think they'll be a fun addition. As...

I wouldn't use all of the 3.x stuff (but that's because there was some bad 3.x stuff) but I wouldn't shy away from using something I liked in 3.x. There's nothing magical about the Pathfinder books - Ultimate Combat has elements that are as bad as anything in 3.5 and Ultimate Magic is only...

Here's what the PRD suggests:

And they smell bad...on the outside.

I nominate True20. It's both different from both and yet somewhat familiar to both. I think if you choose one or the other, you won't make anyone happy.

I played in H.S. and college, but in those days there wasn't really much of a sense of a campaign with a planned end - you played until a tpk, people got bored, or it got too high a level to have fun. Starting with 3e (when I got back in), the following have been completed: 1) Scarred Lands -...

This made me ponder. Then it made me wiki: "Procoptodon was a genus of giant short-faced kangaroo living in Australia during the Pleistocene epoch. P. goliah, the largest known kangaroo that ever existed, stood approximately 2 meters (6'7") tall. They weighed about 230 kilograms (510 lb)."...

"Readying an Action: You can ready a standard action, a move action, a swift action, or a free action. To do so, specify the action you will take and the conditions under which you will take it. Then, anytime before your next action, you may take the readied action in response to that condition...

Solid choices, IMO. I'd play with those for a while before eyeing Ultimate Combat / Ultimate Magic (Bestiary 2 is a far better "next" book)

IMO, how much gaming experience and how mature you as a gaming group are determines how easily 3.x and Pathfinder resources work together. Here's what I mean: Pathfinder is different from 3.x, but not enough to render 3.x stuff useless (Judging from your join date you were around for the 3.0...

Ptolus, underground. A curious PC jump on a pit a Chaos (pure chaos, acts as disintegrate). Little backstory for this one: PC A is being blackmailed by PC B, who is secretly working on behalf of PC C. The party is run out of town and PC B mucks about with some drinks at one of their...

Not all uses of a Readied Action are that general. "If he runs (and therefore goes out of melee), I'll shoot." (Maybe the PC doesn't have Precise Shot) The target doesn't run, therefore the Readied Action doesn't trigger and therefore you will not have performed your readied action by the...

I allow one condition triggering one action. "I shoot him if he does anything," is fine. "I shoot him if he drinks a potion," is likewise fine. "I shoot the man if he searches the fireplace, but only if the fireplace has no secret compartments," or "I will shoot the man if he comes by, but...

I think computers will replace tabletop games when Poker becomes online only. (There's a lot of reasons why people play tabletop, but when it comes down to it IMO, it's the social aspect. Just like Poker. Only hopefully with less knives drawn or bottles broken.)

If money is an object and you don't mind B&W, you can buy the pdf (for what, $60?) and get it printed at a place like Lulu for about $15 softcover. Total of around $75 and you have the PDF. No, it's not as nice as the original. No, it's probably not as nice as the new two-volume full-color...

Having just re-read it, it's some...interesting advice. It does read as if a group is sharing characters (because you need to keep track of the time expenditures of each character) or a DM juggling multiple groups. I am reminded of a football team and the coach calling up a few players to go...

What the hell?
