    Playable Vampire: From Level 0 Up.

    Bump I haven't gotten any feedback since I made the major revision. Anyone have suggestions? Anyone gotten a chance to look at it? Thanks ValhallaGH. Sounds great. Eagerly awaiting response, from any/all of you. :)

    Pathfinder 1E What does your Pathfinder game and game world look and feel like?

    My Pathfinder game is Second Darkness. However, I have some very unusual characters, as I am often willing to accept, for interesting purposes. Given standard practices of my games, there is also no party healer (Nobody likes to play the healer), and players act on their own goals almost as...

    PRPG Advanced Player's Guide Playtest: Summoner and Witch

    Personally, I'd say keep both, but tone them both down. Weaken the Eidolon so it isnt as good as the fighter, and tone down the summon ability. Maybe drop 1 min/level to 3-5 rounds/level. A different possible nerf I thought of, is that when you have your summons, you lose an action. You can...

    Players Guide Spell Gripe

    I preordered. So I have the first printing. Likewise for the bestiary. My Bestiary came slightly damaged (some damaged pages, but still readable). The customer service rep said I'd have a 10$ credit, but I haven't yet made another purchase so I'll say how it works out as soon as I know.

    Well, now you know. :) I was just saying that with the system as is, if both people have the same speed, they'll never catch eachother. Combined with the difficulty of chasing someone to begin with, I was just saying that the feat is less useful than it should be, because of the issues you...

    Feat Points

    I'm going to assume that was sarcasm, because weapon proficiencies are worth less than spells. Well, maybe not cantrips. And I have been known to give a cantrip or 2 to someone for RP Reasons. I have a rogue who can Prestidigitation once per day, so his clothes always smell fresh. Similarity is...

    PRPG Advanced Player's Guide Playtest: Summoner and Witch

    Or possibly, the ability to have a permanent ally that you pay so little for is broken. If your permanent ally is factored into the power of each of your class levels that's one thing. If all you had to do was take a feat, supposed to be worth a little under a 5th of a total level's worth of...

    PRPG Advanced Player's Guide Playtest: Summoner and Witch

    I'm not the only one to see summoner as a much needed option am I? Or a necromancer who's truly badass in the Command Undead + Summon/Create Undead Hordes variety? The fact that you could no longer do so with the core classes was one of the reasons I disliked 4e upon release (it was hard but...

    Feat Points

    Alright. Well they dont so much 'hurt' as just 'nowhere near as good as the other options' so they never get taken. Many of these, in my games, are no longer even considered feats. They're provided as core mechanics, or have some other way to deal with them. Weapon Proficiencies: They simply...

    Feat Points

    Hmm. Alright Celebrim. That's the most useful response I've gotten to this Idea I think. Skill usefulness is assumed in class design though, so your point also makes a difference in terms of that. IMO That's part of why people always complain about the bard. The Bard is a heavily skill based...

    Playable Vampire: From Level 0 Up.

    Alright: The Vampire has been updated. I paid attention to your suggestion Hrothgar. Vampire powers are now sorted into greater and lesser powers. The lesser powers can be taken as feats. I figured out that Gaseous Form isnt as powerful as it is for the MM Vampire, as this vampire doesnt...

    Players Guide Spell Gripe

    A Minor one, but the spell descriptions aren't in alphabetical order. I'm not going to list all of them, but there are a bunch of them out of place. Floating Disk is after Fly, for example.

    Playable Vampire: From Level 0 Up.

    I considered something like that. More along the lines of the Rogue Abilities though, where they aren't exactly feats. The only Issue I'm seeing is that there is a varying power level between different vampire powers. the Mist form is worth LA+1, for example. Dominate is worth LA+0.5, and...

    Playable Vampire: From Level 0 Up.

    Thanks Hrothgar! I think that's the most positive response I've ever gotten to a post/thread here. Cha damage for Sunlight/Water Personally I treat HP as physical damage, simply because thats the way it gets narrated. I'm not a big fan of the ever-growing hit points, but without a major system...

    Playable Vampire: From Level 0 Up.

    Here's the class condensed into 10 levels. It looks alot better in terms of the "leveling up my character" perspective, but I think it may be a tad too powerful, judging by the numbers. Take a look at it now and tell me what you think. Here are the condensed levels pdf and balance...

    Specific magically affected spellbooks?

    Since youre playing a multiclassed spellcaster, I'm going to point out a problem/point you in the right direction. You're going to notice that you have a massive number of low level spells, and that you no longer get high level spells. If you dont WANT that, I'd suggest you pay the 4.95$ to...

    Playable Vampire: From Level 0 Up.

    The Way It Should Be. :) Sorry; thought that was clear. Pretend to be dead. I added it to the file. I based it on an old Vampire Template I did, with heavy editing. You Make a Good Point though. I'll go hunt those down and replace them. Undead arent squishy in pathfinder (why i included the...

    Playable Vampire: From Level 0 Up.

    Those of you who follow my posts here will know that I'm on a kick of making things functional to players, and think that everything should be designed that way, even if it's NOT meant as a player option. That being said. I redesigned the Vampire, into a LA 0 Template and a 13 Level Template...

    Sammael's 3.75: Skills

    This means nobody can ever have more than 3/4 BAB (except maybe at level 1), but assuming youre redesigning ALL the classes to compensate, that could be cool. I'd probably give less skill points, more often, and let them take skills every level. But some of this sounds quite reasonable. As I...

    Feat Points

    I revised the feat points system presented by Sean K Reynolds to be on a 1-6 scale instead of a 1-12 scale, so that feat points could be awarded at every level. I'm not sure all of his pricing is good though. Could people look at the document and see if the pricing seems right? Essentially the...
