As I stated before, I guess it's good haveing systems with SoD, so I can choose to use or not use them. If a designer decides that SoD is badwrongfun and removes them from the system, I have to homebrew them from the ground. A thing that has a chence to raise issues, and lowers the chance to...

Jahelen, I don't want to say the situation you told us don't come up often - actually, it come up quite often, but two nitpicks: - Damage is not a true issue for meleers. An optimized fighter can bypass easily A 10/- DR, in the sense that can dish out enough damage with a single blow to make...

My Group(s), age 26-32: - Marry Soon: 1 - Long Term Relationship: 9 - Short Term/Alternate with Single Status: 2 - "Chronic" Single: 2 BUT QFT StreamOfTheSky point.

From a metagame viewpoint, I can see how the wish could be able to do this, but only if the DM don't consider it too overpowered and other players don't claim it unfair toward them. As a DM, I generally don't twist wishes if they are used to restore things and power. Gain power is another...

In fact, once you see the medusa gaze attack like a defensive, instead of offensive ability, the game suddenly changes. Find a strategy to not face the gaze, that's the challenge. the strategy will anyway give an edge to the medusa (that's the defensive ability). This is why I like SoD. Is...

My impression, reading the bestiary, is that you are less likely to get a SoD at low levels, and very likely at highs. And low leves SoDs hit less harder and is easier to cure them without Clerical Bend-aid. BTW, the basilisk blood thing is just BRILLIANT. The fight is scary, but if adventurers...

GM. I always DM. I wish I play a Druid. Sigh. Next druid NPC will wipe the party. I need some sort of revenge. :]

Greataxe disagrees with you.

The feats you use dictates your weapon of choice. In-game, one could imagine the style(s) of the fighter basing on the weapon he wields. In the case of S&B, it depends from what you want to do: if your objective is pure control (so you take S&B feats, bull rush feats, but combat...

What pawsplay sayd. Copypasted, in a disturbing manner! :) Something to add: The alternative class features alone are worthy the book. I found pure gold in the fighter, barbarian and rogue ones. I'm just concerned by a Wizard features that let you increase your ability scores too much (IMO)...

This is more or less my position, but I voted "yes" because if they are there, I can choose to use them or ban them. Hombrew them from 0 is more difficult.

Some prblmatic spell has been tuned down, noncasters had nice boosts, and the act of spellcasting itself has became more dangerous. Overall, even differences remain, the game improved significantly in this sense. This was not such a big deal before, and now the situation is even better. Of...

Well I'm an example of the opposite situation. I started a new homebrew campaign (is de facto several one-shots with different characters in the same gameworld) using PFRPG core + bestiary only. My players jumped in it enthusiastically, and I recovered old ones too. I have 8 of them at the...

Nope. As explained in another thread, even if Essentials raised my curiosity, I'll stay with Pathfinder.

I remember how much surprised be. I cannot say pleased - actually, I stuck with 3.5 for a while before switch.

QFT. People keep saying 3.x fighter was simple, but it wasn't. You had to be very careful in your choices both in the build, and on the battlefield. The "just hit him with my axe" class was indeed the barbarian, and the more the edition expanded, the more his characteristic of being a forgiving...

Essentials raised a lot of interest in me, and I followed the issue with great curiosity. I'll wait the final product, but basing my tought on what I see from the previews.. No. Absolutely not. BTW, in these days Paizo put out the Advanced Player guide. I can spent a limited amount of...

You need to explain better this part. Pag 550-551 of the core rulebook it's the answer. Paladin are spellcaster, just take brew potions. Since cure spells are already on your spell list, you should be able to use wands without UMD. So, yeah, you are not forced to take it and be a source of...

Thanks.. I directly jumped into the spoiler thread in the Paizo messageboard ... wow. Just wow.:D

IMO you behaved right. Moreover, I want to praise you for the fact that you let the thing "flow" and let the player transform it in a success, and made clear the consequences of a possible complete failure. The starting failure is a good thing, too, because players realized how to catch this...
