I voted 1e, but the Pathfinder assassin would have won if not for the cheeky Victim-turns-to-dust-unexplicably ability at the 10th level. I applaud Paizo for dropping the spellcasting, but why oh why did they introduce this supernatural ability?

One thing that the core necromancer is lacking in 3E and Pathfinder is spells. You are going to have problems if you want to stick to White Necromancy. The 2E Complete Necromancer Guide introduced a few new necromantic spells and lists many necromantic spells from other sources that add nicely...

Seconded. In fact [to the OP] check your pms. The Complete Necromancer Guide is a great resource on Necromancers. There's a whole chapter on the issue of White Necromancy and Black Necromancy. Read the 2E Complete Book of Necromancers for great Necromancer fluff. Check out the New Necromancer...

Well, that makes sense. Speaking o fthe APG Figher variants, anybody out there make a Thrower variant?

I'm (more or less) aware of those, having seen the Fighter variants on Fighter - Pathfinder_OGC. I havn't seen the APG Swashbuckler rogue variant yet though. But the swashbuckler is a rogue variant, while the 3.5 swashbuckler was a fighter class.

It would be simpler to wish for a) Strongarm bracers from Magic Item Compendium p.139 When wearing strongarm bracers, you can wield weapons as if you were one size category larger than normal. (You don’t take any penalty when using weapons as normal for your size.) For example, a human...

Two essential online resourfce for 3.5: Crystal Keep - D&D and d20 System Feats Finder From the first link check out the PrC pdf which has the first 2 levels of all PrCs. Master Thrower 1 grants you the Trick throw option: Defensive Throw – Avoid generating Attacks of Opportunity with your...

Actually the naturally shapechanging dragons (gold, brass, silver) have the change shape ability which allows them to use alter self or beast shape II to change into humanoid or animal forms, but the creature does not adjust its ability scores (although it gains any other abilities of the...

Are there other Swashbuckler classes for PF than the one from ToS ?

Well if you would consider unpainted minis I'd definately recommend www.Dragonworld.de. They have lots of minis from Reaper and Ral Partha. The Partha ones are very cheap too. Not sure if they have painted minis. It's a great shop though...

I did read it. But i didn't realize that PF uses alter self for the polymorph(humanoid) spell. Your post made it sound like this was a house rule suggestion. Another great iprovement on 3.5 by Pathfinder. Go Paizo!

I've always had a problem with 3Es and no PFs alter form ability and Dragons. Iirc they loose most supernatural abilities in polymorphing to a human and they loose their racial attribute modifiers. So it could well be that a grandwyrm gold dragon in human form has a Strengh of 10. :eek: It...

Another 2E jewel is the Complete Book of Necromancers. Written by Steve Kurtz this book infuses the Necromancer with some good old Clark Ashton Smith and introduces a mini campaign set on the Isle of the Necromancer Kings. Also it pointed me to the fantastic Al'Qadim line with it's awesome...

You'll have to pick and choose, but then again "game balance" is a 3e concept. :-) I liked the priest's Hb for the follower's rules and used the specialty priests from the campaign settings (Fr, GH). Complete Wizard has a few nice spells and kits. But Spells & Magic definately the best of these...

I sent you a few links in a PM. Personally I like to combine 2E with bits and pieces of 1E. Half Orc race, assasssin and monk classes (yes i know they are in the 2E supplement Scarlet Brotherhood too). It is quite easy to combine 1E and 2E. The 1E DMG clarified a few things to me and of course...

Aren't there already several versions of the core rules available from 3rd party publishers? For example: SORD

I feel the need to point you to Sepulchrave's awesome Story Hour. He used Graz'zt and others to the fullest, gave us a memorable very Vancian wizard community, deeply thought out religion and philosophy and an overall epic campaign and story.
