    For the PC who thinks he has everything...Unique Magic Items

    AFB but caltrops are essentially ammo which IRC is enchanted in groups of 50. Greasy caltrops could prove interesting as could holding/paralytic versions.

    Question regarding Copu de Gras and ray spells

    Getting back to Greenfield's original question ... you automatically get a critical hit on a coup de grace because it can only be performed on a foe who is bound, sleeping, paralyzed, unconscious, or otherwise at your mercy -- therefore it stands to reason a multiple impact attack CDG would...

    Help with a PRC for an Epic Campaign?

    hmm perhaps his half-dragon template blossoms into a full blooded Wyrmling upon reaching 20th level with each subsequent level increasing him one effective age bracket; the relevant stats/abilities stacking with his existing abilities. That would provide a game-plan for the next 12 levels, after...

    MCWoD second edition?

    Magic is the ability to alter surrounding Reality to your whim. Given the vast number of arcade games, books, comics, movies, television shows, &etc someone of the 21st/c is routinely exposed to, its a fairly moot point that an individual capable of altering the surrounding Reality to their whim...

    symbionys and grafts

    The other thing to consider is you're opening numerous plot elements to your (un)friendly DM since, like other intelligent magical items, there's no guarantee the symbiont will share your own moral outlook nor viewpoint of current events -- potentially triggering it to subtly influence your...

    Who/what can take class levels?

    RAW states “An animal has an Intelligence score of 1 or 2. A creature of humanlike intelligence has a score of at least 3.” and elsewhere under Improving Monsters states “each of the monster entries describes a typical creature of its kind. However, there are several methods by which...

    MCWoD second edition?

    Personally I suspect much of the problem was: A. White Wolf intentially crippled its audience/acceptance by clearly stating it would be a single-shot offering with no follow-up/support. B. Perhaps just as important was/is White Wolf and d20 players seemed diametrically opposed (much like the...

    Traveling the Great Wheel

    I agree, however recall Gygax proposed the Great Wheel back during the late 1970s as a way Sages might represent how the Planes related to each other symbolically rather than physically. In modern parlance, the planes would be more akin to the Internet: co-existing infinite spaces...

    To kill a god...

    Rereading the intro question, I dont think the PCs -ARE- gods, but rather normal characters who should/will discover the truth to the ancient myths by eventually encountering 1+ of the now-mortal gods. as such, he's not questioning how to setup the campaign but rather seeking ideas to work...

    symbionys and grafts

    Magic of Eberron states “If a symbiont is grafted onto a visible part of the host creature's body, opponents can attack the symbiont itself instead of its host creature.” so presumably such symbionts could be buffed/enchanted separately from the host as well. Likewise grafts are created in the...

    City building

    Skimming the PathfinderWiki entry shows Falcon’s Hollow is a long-established frontier logging community owned/operated by the Andorian Logging Consortium implying its already relatively secure against local predators/etc making it “a place for the desperate with no other place to go, for...

    Spell to know a person's life?

    Depends upon your target ... Legend lore works on subjects of at least 11th level per RAW, so presumably increasing its spell-level would allow gathering info on lower level subjects, say each +1 effective level reducing the subject's required level by 2 ??

    Creating Special items

    Another simple way to rationalize why items are limited is simply limit the number of high level NPCs - not every village HAS mid-level spellcasters of every class, let alone those who selected the crafting feats. Consequently while low level potions/wands might be available locally, anything...

    What should Lawful elves worship?

    As mentioned, Elves are generally viewed as being more attuned with Nature than most races so theoretically follow a Neutral outlook with a bent towards the communal well-being and thus follow NG teachings. That said, individuals (such as yours) might take a more Lawful stance closely...

    Shrink Item Stones

    while the discussion is interesting, the pebbles should do 2d6, 3d6, or 4d6 depending upon how many of the daily charges are declared beforehand. (Bag of Boulders, MIC p150).

    Venomfire (spell from Serpent Kingdoms)

    Treat the poison's effects normally. The additional acidic damage is NOT a poison so not subject to such saves/counter-measures; occurring each round for each bite/sting incurred, presumably subject to the normal 20d6 default cap or until the victim has melted into a bubbling pool of acid...

    Mounted Arkery - I WIN YO... *I*... *WIN*

    ah I see the difference: your mounted archer awaits his mount to STOP before attacking (no tohit adjustment) whereas mine is attacking while his mount is MOVING (-4 tohit). Either way, the archer decided WHEN he'll attack during the prior round and readied his action accordingly.

    Familiar Longevity??

    IMC familiars gain their master's lifespan via their link, making the same Fortitude save(DC15) their master does if/when its dismissed. Failure means it reverts to a normal animal without its accumulated abilities, and increased lifespan; causing most failures to immediately die of their...

    Mounted Arkery - I WIN YO... *I*... *WIN*

    You cant take a full action after moving on foot because YOU already took your turn's action. Your mount can move after/before/during your attack because its action is separate from your own and thus consistent with actions per round rules. I agree "Deciding not to take an action until a...

    Hold on....is WotC becoming Fantasy Flight Games????

    The other thing to consider is WOTC is owned by Hasbro ... which comprehends how to make/market board games and is once again stressing the value of family game night; so this might be an initial foray into bringing RPGs to the family game table?? Alternately, Hasbro has never managed to truly...
