Yep. Same here. I never saw it in my games either. Because #1 I would've squashed it if'd seen it, and #2 the people I play with weren't really interested in optimizing and squeezing that extra +1 to some roll out of wherever they could. And no idea on if people actually played that or if it...

Would said sub-forum be called "The Arena"? Or maybe "The Abyss"? "Pandemonium"? "Enter At Your Own Risk?"

A good DM (or one trained in 1e) already knows how to do this. :)

Agreed. Not really the player's fault. Designer's maybe. But as DM, just say no. You don't want a particular PrC in your campaign, ban it. Done. No abuse by anyone then. As for what they are/were for, wasn't the original intent to be like a class you gained when you joined some...

Correct. No expiration date. Even if it did expire, the stuff on the site isn't and won't be OGC (unless WotC decided to go back and make them open). It was basically an agreement that said we could throw the stuff on the CC site, and nowhere else.

Thread necro... Yep. Agreements were completely separate. The stuff in Tome is 100% OGC and can be freely used so long as the section 15 format is followed that Clark did (examples are in the appendices of all the Tome books I believe). The stuff on the CC website isn't OGC. It was basically...

Cool stuff Jester. How'd you handle "skill checks"? One thing my players (and me sometimes as DM) have had a hard time adjusting to (for lack of a better phrase) is "skill checks". After years of 3.x and PF and then going back to 1e for a bit, seems weird to go back to NWP or simple roll under...

I had (still have) a ton of lead figures from back in the day. Pretty much all we used them for was marching order. Or I as DM would use them to scare the hell out of the players. Nothing like rolling out 20 or so orcs or a dragon or whatever and watching the reactions. "You see...." [plop down...

Agree with all but #4. Would need a "grey" alignment to simulate ASOIAF. No one is truly good or evil; the world is shades of grey (much like the real world)...though I guess Gregor Clegane would be pretty evil.

New classes, sub-classes, spells, feats. Tons of stuff they can go with.

Started with the B of the BECMI series, so like 30 years ago or so. My dad bought it for me for my birthday that year. Played it with my brother, sister, and friends in the neighborhood. My mom had gone back to college and noticed a guy in one of her classes playing D&D. Invited him over. He...

If the character sheet has a space for "Spell DC" and you list 10 + stat modifier, and then just add spell level as the spell is cast....that's not really that disruptive. Simple math. "Ok my spell DC is 13. If I cast a 3rd level spell....13 + 3 = 16" A magic-using character likely has the...

And that's pretty much why I never liked skill challenges. No fun (for my group anyway) if you just roll a d20 + mods. Much more fun (for my group anyway) to figure things out (like the traps and puzzles in Tomb of Horrors or Pharaoh...or the module with the chessboard floor...White Plume...

I'm thinking one of these (maybe more) might possibly, maybe, perhaps, appear in a future Tome of Horrors...if I had to guess :)

Mine either. Players NEVER get to see the monster books or stats.

We've used this method a few times (mainly for a change of pace) and it produced some interesting and (in some cases) memorable characters actually.

Same here.

I agree with what Empirate quoted from the rules: "Although the Game Master is the final arbiter of the rules, the Pathfinder RPG is a shared experience, and all of the players should contribute their thoughts when the rules are in doubt." If the guy is such a stickler for the rules then he...
