Lets assume we have an RPG X, where the fighter lives up to its name, and is, well, best at *fighting* - best armored, best at handling weapons, best at tactics. Also assume that narrative control over non-combat situations are equal among classes. What weakness *should* the Fighter have in this...

Played in the campaign Starfox mentions above, and it still amazes me how smoothly it played up at level 20 (where we stayed for multiple adventures, including a massive AP finishing arc), at least from a players perspective. Before, I had heard a lot of bad things about high-level 3.5 play, so...

Reading the threads about reskinning Clerics into Warlords, magical spells into nonmagical talents, and more, the following little scene just popped into my head. Posting it separately, so that it does not interfer with the serious(?) discussions. DM: ... Suddenly you see the red glow of a...

Proactive prevention? ;)

You said "creature". :D

Speaking of Shadowrun... This happened in one of the Shadowrun iterations (might have been houseruled): In Shadowrun, if you had enough initiative boost (through cyberware or magic) you got multiple actions during the same combat turn. In this particular instance of the initiative rules...

"In order to be reflective, a mirror must have a lightsource." We had lots of jokey discussions about mirrors with attached candles due to that one...

It feels like it would be a much more intriguing scenario if a crime takes place *in spite* of all possible precautions. Just *how* were the safeguards bypassed?

Performing during combat to give the party, including yourself, bonuses is just what the bard is *supposed to do* in Pathfinder. Giving penalties for that is like, well, giving a fighter a penalty to hit because he is wearing armor...

Note that even though anyone can houserule to their hearts' content, when WoTC write scenarios for the rest of us they have to go by the book. And it would be a pity if you cannot have either an evil wizard or the PCs do an infiltration mission because "spot the component belt" would...

Far from all spellcasters are academics; I'd like to e.g. imagine an sexy enchantress in a sleek, slinky dress, and still capable of magic without 100 bulging, lumpy pockets, and without the stench of one-week old cream tarts, rancid grease or bat dung lingering around her. :D I'm a visual...

"The first rule of material comenents is not to talk about material components..." The one thing worse than av bookkeeping bother is an ignorable bookkeeping bother.

I've always loved the idea of an adventurer with entertainment as day job. Good reason to travel a lot, encounter many people, and run into many plot hooks. I just want bards to have a wider role model than the celtic fighting poet. That is why I do love the Pathfinder archetype system.

What is the original intent of the relationship rules?

I think a degree of observer interpretation is involved in the term "stupid": My Roomba runs arond my apartment in essentially a random pattern. I know this very well, but still I cannot help but to think "that was stupid" and "that was clever" anyway when observing it...

Pathfinder has this Magic Item: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/c-d/cloak-of-fangs

If you are leaning towards anything fighterish, then I recommend having a real good look at the new Combat Maneuver rules and their corresponding feats. Right now I'm playing my third bard - played one in 3.5, then one in 4E, and now one in Pathfinder, and with just some Trip and Disarm I'm...

How about making a variant of a Golem Manual ( http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/a-b/book-golem-manual ) to add flavor to this kind of project?

Having Handle Animals being a sort of Diplomacy/Intimidate against animals make a lot of sense...
