I agree adv/disadv is more than +2/-2 but didn't someone crunch the numbers a while ago and figure out it was a little north of +/- 3 instead of 4? Beyond that? I think there is a place for the +2/-2 modifiers but I think that it can get to be a lot and that in many ways adv/disadv is more...

To OP: You have almost exactly re-created what I have done for my system (still in beta testing). The changes between what you ended up with and mine are mostly cosmetic as it would come to similar conclusions. For alternate thoughts, try doing a search as there was a conversation about this a...

I did. As well as for the previous tier. Currently it is at 2% for the epic and 1% for the .. paragon? (I don't like the terms they use.) So I guess others thought as I did and voted the same way - in both of those there is 0% saying the .. goblins? What was the questions lol? The reason for...

95% (if not higher) of the time I DO NOT edit or modify the stats of a creature from the book. I like using the creatures right from the book and am depressed when I have to do more work. That means goblin-goblin, etc. Very rarely give extra or different powers for my monsters. Now, that 5%...

Things to ask about this question, I doubt there is an sort of official answer: a. Can they tell when they are taking damage? I would say yes, damage has a cause. Damage from a fireball burns; damage from a sword cuts; damage from a sap is non-lethal, it is still damage just damage that won't...

My personal dig with it is that it seems overly stylish and not functional. Say what you will but in the recent movies Bara-dur was amass with towers and looked very fortified - if a little overlarge. I get that it is supposed to be some big bad piece of real estate but where is it? Is that...

It says more about me that I don't need many many demons in the book? Sure. While it may seem plain to say that if I don't use elves in my games that I don't need 8 varieties of them in the book. This might seem obvious to an extent. But it is not what I'm actually saying. I'm saying I rarely...

I disagree. Though my objections have already been partially covered I think you miss a significant part. While the concept of the planes, their arrangements and names are really minor in the grand scheme; the problem was the baked-in assumptions made because of those planes. When the base game...

I'm not sure I follow. Let me explain the basics and see if that helps, if not please clarify. First level (let's say human) fighter has a feat for first level - that everyone gets regardless of race or class. He gets another feat for being human, and a third for first level fighter. Now, the...

Automatic, in my own setting and/or system: Human Elf Dwarf Halfling (I like the gypsy version here) Gnome (for this think more hobbity) half-dragon (MM/B variant) Ones I can be persuaded into, but not automatic (backstory/build, not just exotic for its own sake): half-elf half-orc orc kobold...

I thought gargoyles also held a place as "elemental dwarves" and are certainly stone/earth and not fire. Plus after doing some research I can tell you that gnomes have been associated with fire in many distinct writings (my favourite being Narnia). I'm not saying your analogy is wrong, just...

This thread started in July, so the poll has long been closed. The results were found on the next article: 1) How important is it to you that players can make dirt-simple humanoid characters, like orcs, goblins, kobolds, hobgoblins, or gnolls? I can’t run my campaign or play my favorite...

Well yeah, this is kind of what I thought too. As I said, it seems like those most chomping at the bit for 4e was those who were dissatisfied with 3e - either those who were playing and unhappy, or those who were not playing. But ether case the main demographic seems to be only those who did not...

In my personal case, it probably would have affected very little. I would have continued to use the products I liked and ignored the 4e and TOB supplements entirely. As a large sub-system I think it would have either failed or seen very limited use, instead of being a large sub-section of the...

With all these threads (most of them started by Mercurius) I'm starting to lose track of what the specific arguments are now. I have long understood what KM has been saying about the default effect but from what I'm reading it doesn't seem like this necessarily applies here. That is I don't...

Which part makes you ask 'why'? Was it that I found 44 to be huge or that I found it to be unnecessary? About what you did: I'm glad you created what you needed for your BBEG. I don't know whether we would have needed to create a whole new prestige class to achieve the same thing, or that we...

You had 44 homebrewed prestige classes in 3e? Wow. That seems HUGE to me. The groups I played with during my 3e days were mostly a bunch of guys at university and both individually and altogether we had extensive knowledge of the rules - and we barely had any homebrew prestige classes. It could...

I'm a little disappointed there was no option for BOTH. They aren't incompatible and were mostly the same setting during 3e's run (to my knowledge). That being said, Greyhawk. With that I can still use the planar stuff I want but I prefer it much more as a setting. I prefer my fantasy settings...

I suspect Ahnehnois is correct. I just wanted to provide citing and some backup. 1. As far as I can tell this is meant to be applied only to natural weapons; proficiency with a longsword wouldn't be a part of the Eidolon, though like Ahnehnois, I would say that you have to ask paizo...
