    Removing Racial HD

    That is what the notes at the bottom of my post were about. A Monster's Cr is based on how challenging they think it will be for one fight, and so things you can use again and again aren't factored into it. Which is why I suggested changing them.With the changes I mentioned, this quick fix (it...

    Project Phoenix fighter discussion (Forked from: Feat Points)

    Even without them the fightercleric is better and has better spells to back him up. Lay on Hands should be a divine feat Auras could be a feat chain, with *ability to cast first level spells* as a prereq. Smite: A feat with *ability to cast divine spells* and *BAB x* as prereqs. Much better...

    Removing Racial HD

    The fact is, LA + HD is a very very poorly designed system to allow a monster as a character. I'll give you two better methods. 1. CR = Level. The player has to start at full HD. Essentially, they get (CR) Levels in whatever it is, and the HD just dont match up to CR. 2. Break the whole...

    Project Phoenix fighter discussion (Forked from: Feat Points)

    The idea has merit. Barbarians are low versatility fighters. Paladins are good-only multiclass fighter clerics, except that the fighter-cleric will be better all around. Both could be dropped and replaced with a feat or couple feats. Quite Cool. That's pretty schwey. Trailblazer handled this...

    Challenging CRs Large Size?

    Yeah, the full minotaur comes out as a CR 6, sorry.. When I say "Minotaur Class", I mean the following. All of the special abilities of the Minotaur (Ability Score Bonuses, Scent, Powerful Charge, Large Size, etc.) are broken down by cost. The total HD and saves are thrown out the window, but...

    PRPG Advanced Player's Guide Playtest: Summoner and Witch

    They could also use some/more mobility/escape spells/abilities. But yeah, the Summon SLA isnt really useful anymore. Yes FF Summoners summon one thing at a time. The reason we said he isn't a competent summoner now, is he effectively is only a summoner of the eidolon. He cant summon different...

    Challenging CRs Large Size?

    Okay. So I ran a PF game thursday, with one of my players playing a inotaur as a class, priced out using Upper Krust v5. They are level 3. The minotaur's total STR bonus to attack was +9 (between what he got from 2 minotaur levels and the massive 18 strength he rolled). His damage output was...

    Grapple/Pin

    The text didn't state. It doesn't list DCs or anything, and was rather vague. hence the question. so.. Is there a DC change for pin vs grapple? in grapple, if youre the grappler you get a +5. Does it improve for a pin? (Id assume yes, but pin had little written about it for mechanics.)

    Good Call. Didnt see that. I'll post there. Thanks.

    PRPG Advanced Player's Guide Playtest: Summoner and Witch

    *bows* I couldn't leave the Yuna argument without at least giving some kind of response. This character is nothing like either of those. I'll say this: The character is based on a pretty awesome concept. But he's a pretty weak caster. The Eidolon is kickass. But not in line with a 'summoner'...

    PRPG Advanced Player's Guide Playtest: Summoner and Witch

    You may get some responses that are final fantasy-esque. You'll likely get more 'Summoner'esque responses where the summoner uses a summoning circle and summons up demons, ala planar binding, and gets it to fight for him, if he can control it. As for Final Fantasy-esque type responses, there...

    Grapple/Pin

    If a character is trying to escape a pin, are the DCs any different than escaping a grapple? Does Winning a pin make you free like winning a grapple, or does it move you from pinned back to grappled? Any clarification on PF Grapple Pin would be awesome.

    Playable Vampire: From Level 0 Up.

    You can do that in 3.5? I'll have to look that one up, obvioiusly it slipped by me. True enough. I'm going to review the grapple rules. It's going to be based on standard grapple rules, as though using attacks, but only the initial attack is going to do hp damage.I'll update the formatting in...

    PRPG Advanced Player's Guide Playtest: Summoner and Witch

    Conjuration wizards are pretty fail summoners. They’re not specialized enough. The only decent summoner class I've seen is the Malconvoker PrC, which was based on manipulating demons into doing good things. It was only ‘OK’. What if the Eidoloneer (Because it’s clearly not a Summoner if the...

    Thanks! Those crocodile 'death roll' rules will definitely come up next time I want a shark that can grab and twist.

    Playable Vampire: From Level 0 Up.

    Much Appreciated. :) Alot of these seem to be an issues of "rules as intended, vs. rules as written." I'm going to update the pdf to say things the way I meant for them to function(when I get home), and list how I meant for these things to work, which you seem to have interpreted...

    PRPG Advanced Player's Guide Playtest: Summoner and Witch

    Honestly, The Eidolon is cool, but I want a summoner to be able to summon things. Otherwise you have a caster that just pieces together a unique elemental (or some other kind of outsider). And while cool, thats not a summoner. I think the class needs the summoning. If i had to just pick one or...

    I'd say it's lacking in Utility. Mages are good at lots of different things. So are rogues, even Rangers. But Fighters just hit things.
