What bugs me is that there aren't any planetouched races descended from chaotic outsiders, lawful outsiders or multiple elemental/outsider ancestors. I did find rules for chaotic and lawful planetouched (http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2m1tu?Why-no-Axiomite-or-Protean-planetouched#5), but not for...

I'll agree that 4e's attempt to differentiate them eventually fell by the wayside after the first monster manual, but I thought it was a good idea. In the Pathfinder rules, though, demons are just a variation on devils. As the article explains it, this is what I consider the best difference...

New Subtypes The following three subtypes are, in part, designed to allow players to play characters that are constructs or undead without unbalancing gameplay with the types' blanket immunities, but less watered-down than the half-construct and half-undead racial traits in the ARG. The Abdead...

This article (http://www.wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/drdd/20070924) is old news, but I think it raises an interesting point. Demons and devils have more similarities than they do differences. Then you have "daemons," which is a funny misspelling of "demon." What's next? Daevils, daimons...

Not to me. In fairy tales, the closest equivalent to a male hag was the ogre, which was an intelligent, sophisticated magician (you can see an example in the tale Puss In Boots) completely unlike the Ogre and Oni in Pathfinder. I've looked it up an found the stats here. It seems to be...

I don't see this as a problem. The anathemas and daemons are two sides of the same coin: eros and thanatos, libido and destrudo, creation and destruction, life and death. The anathemas were born of the first evil life, while the daemons were born of the first evil death. The demons and devils...

Iron Heroes is a variant rulebook designed to put more focus on the martial classes and less on magic to solve problems. Fantasy Concepts is a variant rulebook designed to replicate the functionality of the SAGA rules, simplifying many rules and providing more flexibility in terms of building...

Wait, so now fighters actually pose a threat to the casters? This is cause for celebration! Hoorah! Hooray!

I'd thought more about it. A popular and sadistic game among the krampus is using magic to lure weary travelers to their castles, where the krampus acts behind the scenes, providing the traveler with free food and a warm bed that appears as if by magic. However, the krampus carefully constructs...

So the racial paragon classes are alternate base classes? I think that could actually work. Thanks, I'll have to look into it. Set explains it better on the Paizo forums than I can. I never said it did. This is merely a mechanic to use gestalt classes from Unearthed Arcana in the same games as...

I'm looking specifically for sources that are open game content, whether 3.5 or PF rules specifically. I was considering having the male use the hag's basic statistics with some modifications. I've seen names like "hogre" and "krampus" used to describe the mythical male hag. In the Puss in Boots...

Are there any Paizo or 3rd-party books detailing a male counterpart to the traditionally all-female hags? The concept of hags is rooted in historical and folkloric sexism (whereas fantasy roleplaying is characterized by anachronistic 21st-century liberal attitudes), so I wanted to be just...

There's already over a dozen conversions of Tzimisce and Vicissitude floating on the web, and White Wolf has republished Vampire: The Masquerade so you can throw your Requiem books out and go back to playing that if you like. But this is the only version I've seen that turns it into an actual...

I am aware. It was officially converted to 3.5 in another issue of Dragon magazine. AHAHAHA! Funny mental image.

That's what I read on d20pdfsrd.org in the expanded ecology. It's not terribly helpful.

If I wanted to do that I wouldn't be asking. I'm not asking for a literal male medusa with identical statistics, but something more sexually dimorphic (i.e. different). The maedar isn't open game content, so I'm asking if anyone else has done something similar that is. If no one has, that's...

I had this simple idea for an aex (plural aexes), a male counterpart to the medusa. I’d use the name maedar, but WotC might sue, so I’m using the name of Medusa’s gorgon father according to the classical writer Hyginus. All text below is designated open game content. Aex (Male Medusa) The man...

Are there any books, Paizo or 3rd party, detailing a male counterpart to the medusa? EDIT: I know about the maedar, but I can't use it because it's not open game content. I posted my own concept of the male medusa (which I called an "aex") in the homebrew forum.

I always thought the word "daemon" was too close to "demon," since they are pretty much the same word etymologically. But that's 1st edition D&D for you. Yugoloth, however, is trademarked, and the daemons in the BoF have "mercenary" only as a fraction of their total portfolio (the Company are...
