    Looking for a D&D Next DM (with offered perks!) in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

    You didn't mention what game(s) you play. But personally that doesn't much matter to me. I'd sign up with the perks alone. Heck, that sounds so good I'm half-tempted to move to BC. Good luck finding a GM. I'm surprised one of you aren't willing/able to step up - not even the WotC writer?

    UI bar at the top

    Perhaps I'm too inexperienced and unfamiliar with the Adblock system. I have it enabled but can't seem to find and properly change the element you are talking about.

    Some kind of bug

    I show only 100 posts, though it is possible that I don't see 101+ if they're on my ignore list (which could also be the case for you). But I also have mine set to larger number of posts per page, so your 10 is my 5 and I don't have a page 6. So, not sure what's going on. Just giving feedback of...

    Pathfinder 1E What qualifies a creature as an extraplanar outsider, an extraplanar animal/humanoid/etc or an extraplanar native outsider?

    The problem you seem to be running into is that you want outsiders to be both (a) a type that means a creature is not from the material plane, and (b) split up into various different types. You have a problem with both Outsiders being monolithic and yet when they are NOT monolithic. Which makes...

    Pathfinder 1E What qualifies a creature as an extraplanar outsider, an extraplanar animal/humanoid/etc or an extraplanar native outsider?

    PH may be an abbreviation for Planar Handbook or the Player's Handbook. It was not clear in the context of what you said. In either case, I believe I said that such a comment was irrelevent to typing issues. And doubly irrelevant since this thread is originally titled "Pathfinder" and not "early...

    Pathfinder 1E What qualifies a creature as an extraplanar outsider, an extraplanar animal/humanoid/etc or an extraplanar native outsider?

    Races presented in the planar handbook: Aasimars, Bariaurs, Buommans, Mephlings, Neraphim, Shadowwyfts, Spikers, Tieflings, Wildren. Race TYPES presented (in order): Outsider (native), Outsider (EP), Humanoid (EP), Humanoid (EP), Outsider (EP), Outsider (EP), Humanoid (EP), Outsider (native)...

    Pathfinder 1E What qualifies a creature as an extraplanar outsider, an extraplanar animal/humanoid/etc or an extraplanar native outsider?

    On the link you gave me there is nothing saying their TYPE is Outsider (native). They are native to Limbo, but they are not Outsider (native) as far as I can tell. Please quote a specific section if I missed it - after reading Cadence's post I only did a quick search. Basically if I/we are...

    Pathfinder 1E What qualifies a creature as an extraplanar outsider, an extraplanar animal/humanoid/etc or an extraplanar native outsider?

    Raneth I think you have some misconceptions. I'll clear up what I can. But over all Keldin is right. Especially in that you would have to ask the original authors why an outsider is an outsider as opposed to a magical beast. In the case of the tenebrous worm, according to this...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Should We Call Next/5e

    I wonder if we'd have such a split vote if we dropped the A from the first option: "5th Edition of D&D" I know that's the only reason I voted for it and for Shirley.

    D&D 5E (2014) DooM!

    Oh really? Only became and issue after the last chance for feedback? The final playtest packet was dated Sept 20th 2013, the last opportunity for feedback via survey would have been after that some time. I don't have an exact date, so I'm going to use the 20th of September for my purposes. The...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should 5e reflect the designers' point of view?

    Actually in this context that is exactly what I would define as happy. If everyone can come together and "live with" the same game then the job was successfully done. Especially if you are able to draw together people from across very different games. Happy in this context means that perhaps not...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should 5e reflect the designers' point of view?

    I think you raise an interesting point Dungeoneer but give it a slant I don't really agree with. You say "I would rather they make an interesting game that tries new things then a bland by-the-committee game that just tries to please everybody. Because you know who will ultimately play the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Replacing Damage-On-A-Miss

    Yeah, you're still not getting your point across to me. I say we call it a day. But riddle me this, does EVERY time the attacker does this trigger an ACL wound in the defender? DOAM does. No margin of error, no crit fails. *attempts to disappear into ether again*

    D&D 5E (2014) Replacing Damage-On-A-Miss

    Strap in, it's going to be a long one. If you don't want to read it all, and I know some of you don't like to, that's entirely up to you. (EDIT: Huh, not as long as I thought it was going to be, good job on the cutting down if I do say so myself.) I can accept that psi warriors use psionic...

    What would a fighter versatile out of combat look like?

    Since this is "general" and not applied to any specific edition or game.. I think the best fighter isn't just a fighter. In 3.5 terms the best fighter is a full fighter and full rogue, or at least fighter with the skills and out of combat stuff of a rogue (not necessarily trapfinding and sneak...

    D&D 5E (2014) Replacing Damage-On-A-Miss

    If the argument is that Evasion is also a bad ability, then we agree. There should be better ways of adjudicating it. But having one bad ability does not justify having a worse one. Especially since THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING. That's my only point. This I would be fine with, since in 3.5 era...

    D&D 5E (2014) Replacing Damage-On-A-Miss

    *eye twitches* That's what I/we have been saying for months! It is you/your side that seems to forget this when talking about things like evasion and how saves work. My problem with even the most liked variant here (aura of damage) is that melee attacks are not and should not be splash weapons...

    D&D 5E (2014) Will the inclusion of the option of DoaM cause you to not buy 5e.

    Holy skewed answers batman. Turning basically the question of "Is DOAM bad" and giving three options for "No" with semi-reasonable responses, but the "Yes" coming off as "I'm a jerk, my way or the highway." Wow. Not that I think there needs to be another thread about this, I think I said all I...

    Pathfinder 1E Do I need a character ahead of time to show up at a PF Society game?

    No idea. Never tried. But my thought would be why not make one just in case you need it? If you need access to PF info then use the PFSRD (just be careful which books your stuff comes from): http://www.d20pfsrd.com/home Hopefully someone can tell you if you need one.

    Campaign Introductions

    I've run all kinds, played a few kinds. It comes down to a few general requirements. What kind of game do the players want to play? What kind of game do you like to run? Where do those things intersect? Another important distinction is how many players are playing, and their backgrounds. A game...
