I've always thought counterspelling should be a standard mechanic in D&D, and thought it should be easier to accomplish. The existing counterspell mechanics are something I've never seen anyone use, because you have to ready an action in advance, and even if you DO ready an action, there is such...

Hey, Just wanted to say that I love the work you do, and I like your Idea of converting monsters to the Pathfinder System. Can't offer to help at the moment due to work on other projects, including converting a bunch of the Pathfinder monsters into playable format. However, Hopefully you find...

IIRC this forum does that. Just sort with line breaks, cause indenting doesn't work well.

Hmm. I was just thinking the magic things would apply everywhere regardless of which armor piece they were on. Maybe though. This idea is nifty. I may do that one instead of individual Armor Pieces. Just Helmets. I'm using some rules that make cloaks relevent too. I found them on here somewhere...

@Hawken: 1. Piecemeal Armor Rules: I suppose your Idea of "Make up some armor and say what it's specifically designed to do and I'll create a set of armor rules for it" would work too. The Number of Armor Types would build up pretty fast though. Personally I was thinking it might be cool if I...

Maybe you want to be a pixie rogue and just make use of those few SLAs. Dont have the books or SRD in front of me though so I don't know what SLAs they get. but I know I've played a Succubus before and enjoyed the SLAs without being a Sorcerer. Your "LA" fix still doesn't fix the LA + Caster =...

I haven't seen any for 3.5/pfrpg. Not as many people seem to play solo mods, and when people play solo, they usually have a highly detailed plot about the main character, instead of being module based. Pathfinder adventure paths would make good solo campaigns with some work, since they're...

That just seems silly. You may as well just give them the higher HD then, or give them extra HD. lol

I play with some additional changes on top of Pathfinder, such as extra HP at level 1, and a faster Attribute progression, but it doesnt take me that long. Takes about 5 minutes for a 6 level character, cause youre just looking at the things that changed. With all my extra changes, it takes...

You just get to play an extreme hedonist. Lots of drinking and women. It's fun. While we never held fast to alignment restrictions, Chaotic Evil is not uncommon in our groups. Our current group has a jack the ripper type who likes to kill prostitutes.There's lots of issues with guards hunting...

I lioke your reply Celebrim. I agree. The "Half Dragon Stone Giant" has little merit, beyond being broken. I'd expect some amazing fluff for that one, and again, we'd be back to making balanced progressions. Odds are the progression would take more levels than the HD+LA in this case.

The point of this isnt to be used with LA. It works I guess. Maybe just make cold blooded creatures give 1/2 regardless? That should be a non issue eventually, it will be if it ever comes up in my games. If a player wants to play a LA+ HD Lizardfolk, etc, I do something like this for it. I...

Well, it would be entirely DM fiat as to what was warm/cold blooded. It was more proposed as a possible option. I was actually looking for feedback as to whether it was a viable option.

Honestly, my favorite races are 'monsters'. 1. The Satyr: I enjoy playing these cheeky SoBs. No Pipes, because that's just a race-specific magic item, and magic items shouldn't be a part of a race. If I play a caster, then I usually play a bard. Usually we spread the levels out a bit more, and...

That's part of the reason I've been considering ditching the healing and just keeping the 5 bonus HP. You have fast healing. Any reptiles, non-mammalian aquatic creatures, vermin, dragons, etc, would be cold-blooded. It's not hard to look at something and say, 'is it a lizard, bug, or fish? if...

Hmm. Yep. Or he goes to a butcher and buys blood. Claims it's for the cooking. So long as its fresh enough it works. But then he still needs to explain why he's buying so much blood, and most people dont like vampires. :) And cold blooded vampires would find mammal blood less potent. I haven't...

As someone who likes monster-races, I see your campaign options for lowered XP to be painful. That being said, if it works in your game, great. But you wouldn't see me playing an LA race in those games. Not unless you let me design my own Monte-Cook Style Racial Progression. lol YMMV

YAy mournblade! thats a much better version than that crap that wizards of the coast threw up and calls forgotten realms. Woo Hoo!

I don't play RAW Pathfinder, but it does make the low levels more playable. Add to pathfinder rules action points, and the bonus hp I give to starting characters (9+(1/2 con score)) level 1 is included in the sweet-spot. I can't speak for high level play.

You could do this. I found the concept horrific. By the time they whittle them down, youre not even playing the same creature. I think this is a poor solution. Mechanically it works. Flavor-wise, if you strip the monster to those few abilities, that it becomes an LA+0 Race, and doesnt gain...
