    Pathfinder 1E Consolidating the number of types

    Yes. Laziness is no excuse. Furthermore, I'm making mindless into its own subtype just like incorporeal for easy reference.

    Alternate type system

    I did some googling recently and came across an alternate type system. Creatures are each given one of several Supertypes, Body types, Mind types, and Soul types each that determine their metaphysical biology. While I find the system for keeping track of multiple types of hit dice confusing and...

    Pathfinder 1E What qualifies a creature as an extraplanar outsider, an extraplanar animal/humanoid/etc or an extraplanar native outsider?

    When I discuss creature types and subtypes, I'm doing so from the perspective of the material plane unless stated otherwise. When I say extraplanar, I mean anything not native to the material plane. When I say native, I mean any outsider with the native subtype and native to the material plane...

    Pathfinder 1E What qualifies a creature as an extraplanar outsider, an extraplanar animal/humanoid/etc or an extraplanar native outsider?

    I know what the extraplanar and native subtypes are. I mean an "outsider (native)" that is native to a plane other than the material. Neraphim are an example: their type is "outsider (native)" but they are native to the outer plane Limbo and have no innate connection to the material plane. They...

    Any faithful conversion of Dante's Divine Comedy (Inferno/Purgatory/Paradise) into planes?

    The D&D planes of Heaven and Hell are only loose approximations of the places depicted in Dante's The Divine Comedy. I know Inferno 1980 detailed Hell as depicted in Dante's Inferno for AD&D. But I don't know of any adaptations for 3rd edition or Pathfinder. Does anyone know of 3rd edition or...

    Pathfinder 1E What qualifies a creature as an extraplanar outsider, an extraplanar animal/humanoid/etc or an extraplanar native outsider?

    In my surveying of various 3.5 and PF books, I've noticed that extraplanar creatures can generally be divided into three categories: extraplanar outsiders, extraplanar creatures of any other type, and native outsiders that are native to an outer plane or similar. Exactly what criteria qualifies...

    (OGC) New Skill uses and Spells, mostly parlor tricks

    I've made changes to the spells as you've suggested. However, contact lenses were invented by the ancient egyptians and other cultures, so I don't find them anachronistic. The updated document is attached to this post.

    Pathfinder 1E I am looking for a 100% free, user-friendly program to build monster statblocks from scratch

    I already made spreadsheets before. They don't help at all because they are just as time consuming as doing the work by hand and I have to recopy everything by hand to format it into a proper statblock. It's worse than just doing it in word alone. I am incredibly angry that I would have to...

    Pathfinder 1E OGC grafts and symbiont subtype for Pathfinder?

    I'm trying to find an open game content replacement for the grafts and symbiont subtype from Fiend Folio/Eberron that's designed for Pathfinder. Are there any books that have this? EDIT: As far as I can tell, Chaositech and Radiance Players Guide have graft-like mechanics released as open game...

    Pathfinder 1E I am looking for a 100% free, user-friendly program to build monster statblocks from scratch

    I don't want to pay for hero lab because I don't need all of those bells and whistles. I don't want to have a database of abilities, classes, monsters or other dross that I can get for free on d20pfsrd.com. I want a simple excel spreadsheet-like program that I can use to crank out monster...

    Pathfinder 1E I am looking for a 100% free, user-friendly program to build monster statblocks from scratch

    I did. That program is too underdeveloped to meet my needs. It has nearly-nonexistent support for user-defined information and doesn't have a live preview. I'm looking for something like...

    Pathfinder 1E I am looking for a 100% free, user-friendly program to build monster statblocks from scratch

    Building monsters is a horrible chore because I have to calculate and format the statblocks by hand, which is time-consuming. I've made an exhaustive google searches and still have not found a program that fits my needs. I am looking for a 100%, user-friendly program to build monster...

    [GM Tool] Monster Generator - Free Program to Create New Monsters

    Do you ever plan on including the special abilities from http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/rules-for-monsters/universal-monster-rules ? I found this a really great idea, but it's very inflexible. We can't customize special abilities in the program itself (either changing the qualifiers for...

    What are the differences/similarities between E6, Fantasy Concepts Campaign Resource, FantasyCraft, Iron Heroes, Pathfinder and Trailblazer?

    As far as I know, all of these are either continuations or significant revisions of the 3.5 d20 system. E6 is an expanded house rule that limits characters to 6th level to alter the tone of the game, Fantasy Concepts is an adaptation of the SAGA rules, FantasyCraft is a complete reinvention of...

    Pathfinder 1E Skill Groups and Level-Based Skills

    A trained skill is any skill with ranks taken in it. Certain skills like Knowledge cannot be used untrained (i.e. without ranks), as stated in the Pathfinder Reference Document. I don't need to write rules for any of that. This is a simplification of the skill point rules. Rather than...

    Pathfinder 1E Skill Groups and Level-Based Skills

    After reading Iron Heroes and Fantasy Concepts Campaign Resource, I'm come to believe that Pathfinder has too many skills and most of them are too niche. For this reason, I think Pathfinder could benefit from two rules: Skill Groups and Level-Based Skills. In applying this to Pathfinder, I...
