    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Lesson? Is one big honkin book intimidating?

    I find the price intimidating. +50$ for the core rules? -still haven't bought a copy. I just use the excellent PF_SRD instead. unfortunately I may end up running a con game for PFS. So im gonna need a hard copy. I guess ill violate my usual rules and buy it online rather than at my LFGS.

    Irresponsible use of magic and other WMDs

    1.The elven druid builds a tree house (2400 sq ft) then awakens 6 trees and teaches them to march while carrying it. 2. created so many Quaal's feather tree tokens that they are renamed after her. She then uses them to build a "Tree Stridable" highway, across a difficult border. - Once out...

    Cool stunts you've seen

    there was this sword, just hanging from the ceiling. Of course there was a trap below it. no one seemed to have any useful powers, but I wanted that sword (even though I couldn't keep it, after the session) So my 60+ yr old human, had the others tie a rope to him. He took a running jump and...

    D&D 5E (2014) The 5E* Wishlist

    1. Healing: minor action, small heals. Allowing a healer to do something rather than heal. (standard actions are fine for Large heals, or mass heals) Non-Cleric Healers! warlord, bard and druid with enough healing to serve the role. 2. NPC and PCs are different. This decreased my...

    101 Moments of Mundane Fun

    20. The Feast of Fools: everyone wears masks, and the town chooses a local idiot to be the king for the day. Pick the player who loves randomness, or have a NPC demand random activities. drinking, chaos, perhaps even a murder ensue.

    Advice wanted for DM'ing Crucible of the Gods

    rule #16: Don't turn into a snake. It never helps. right 4th core. Its kinda all like that. I used 1 trap from there designed for 2nd level characters. doubled the damage, and turned the "stand in the wrong place and die" into "stand in the wrong place and.." make 2 saves, and be removed from...

    Oops, I failed a Breathe check

    I use the HR that fumbles have to be confirmed, and that you can only fumble on the first attack roll of the round. Fumbles are confirmed by failing a reflex sv DC 12. (with up to a +4 DC for dangerous actions) This means that fumbles gradually reduce as characters go up in levels. And...

    The Simplification of Epic Characters

    I also considered giving each epic PC a "do something cool" ability that represented their ability to bend reality to their will. but it was arbitrary and somewhat complicated. Thematic Attack Damage would average 8+level, vs a Burst 1. Damage could be raised or lowered by adding conditions...

    The Simplification of Epic Characters

    I have simplified epic level characters by allowing/requiring them to take powers multiple times to avoid # of power limitations. Keep the normal rule that higher level power slots can be used to take low level powers, just allow a low level power to be taken more than once. I have made a...

    How many tabletop roleplaying games did you play in 2011?

    It is obviously lacking in RP (aside from joking that we are the monsters that killed and ate the original heroes assigned to stop the big bad.) Yeti, Vampire, Orc and a human barbarian. Not alot of room for character development in a tactical boardgame. Usually 2 of the 4 characters gain a...

    Companion Characters for New Players

    My group has generally found that companion characters are about half the value of a PC. They do fine with attack rolls and an at-will but, at lvl 6 - companions will lack: racial/skill/theme encounter powers. 1 encounter attack 2 dailies. 1 utility Magic item...

    Do you track the date? The phases of the moon? The weather? Holidays?

    In my previous world I had 9 months (named after 9 gods) each with 42 days (378 days per year). New moons were on the 1st and 21st each month (the moon was the home of the goddess of evil) Most months had a holiday that related to their god - memorial day for the god of war. A 15% off sale...

    Your favourite botches

    When I roll a 1 on skill checks I tend to narrate the results for my character. survival check. "I think the best way to avoid the tropical heat is to perch out on those sunny wave-swept rocks, the breeze will keep us cool!" then the tide came in... Insight. The person hanging blood drained...

    What's the wildest D&D story you've ever heard?

    "If we are in Canada, I get a +4" overheard at a gaming shop. IF you are in CANADA? What friggen game are you playing that you don't know where you are, but that it might be Canada? It implies some sort of random teleport effect, or at the leastjust climbing out of the trunk of a car and...

    magical curses/maladies

    I'm looking for some good magical curses/ maladies. Such as might result from being fed on by far realm beasties. some poster here had a d100+ list that would be great but I forgot who had it. otherwise suggestions are welcome! I would prefer 4e or system neutral.

    Hut of Baba Yaga Adventure

    Well thanks. that finally makes sense. I used each unfolded cube as a room, with the seventh cube (inside) or the control room. The eight cube contained the outside. Ie the entrance/exit. well sure, but logic is sometimes more fun. Only one of my players formed an accurate mental map of my...

    Hut of Baba Yaga Adventure

    thats just a nifty update to the old module. Lots of details I can mine, although it will be a while before I'm running a Paragon game again. Likes: fighting the hut before entering (optional), Giant chickens, magic pool, Baba's Bed. The conversion of solo fights to 4e multiple opponent...

    New SRD Site for Mutants and Masterminds 3E

    love the d20pfsdr I would have a rough time playing pathfinder without it. The hero sight looks interesting, I hope you finish it soon. The sample characters need the most work, preferably a single page per character.
