He's talking about the feat representing learning how to use the natural attack. Without that feat, the horns would just be ornamental and not usable in combat.

Arcane Archer should borrow from the magus in terms of how they work, in my opinion. The arrow progression where they get elemental and eventually aligned arrow attacks could be replaced with the magus's ability to infuse magical enhancements with his arcane pool - it'd add flexibility to the...

In my home campaign, aberrations are from a different planet on the same plane. They were essentially an invasion force that interrupted the Dawn War between the gods and the primordials. They were forced underground and undersea, but never wiped out completely. They were more psionically...

I use my Xoom at game for access to the Pathfinder SRD, Evernote (where I keep all my game notes), and PDFs. I find it very handy. I haven't invested in any gaming-specific utilities for it yet, though.

I've gotten into this game quite a bit - I found a third-party mod that allows me to remap the keyboard so that I can play left-handed. Not being able to do that was a dealbreaker for me, and mods are why I play these games on a PC (the Fallout and Elder Scrolls games tend to develop a huge...

I think the original auras were better than the current ones - SotS is right, they're too conditional after the edit for not a lot of reason. Compare to the bonuses that the bard can grant. They should be better than that to some degree, because the bard also gets a number of spells. That's if...

There was a feat in 3.5 called Practiced Spellcaster that increased your caster level in one class by +4, to a maximum of your character level. It was nice for multiclassed PCs, and is probably what you're thinking of. I haven't seen a Pathfinder equivalent. I wouldn't be too adverse to the...

Here's the relevant bit from the SRD. So an unattended nonmagical object is just screwed if you shatter it and is immediately destroyed without a damage roll. Makes sense to me.

You can order mindless undead to do anything, without needing to make any kind of roll. They're mindless, and have no sense of self-preservation. They can't even recognize danger.

You have to make an opposed Charisma check against intelligent undead to get them to do things they wouldn't normally do. That's pretty vague - I'd restrict that to things against their nature, not just anything they don't want to do. Remember that this would often include having to restrain...

Here ya go, from the FAQ.

The amount of spam you end up getting depends more on your email provider than anything else. I expect that by now most scripts that scan for email addresses in web pages have figured out the syntax you're describing, so I doubt it makes much difference. That's a pretty simple format to search...

If you're using them, the trait mechanics might be a good place to introduce the variant materials and other mechanical adjustments to a base race. That's what I did in my setting's version of a similar race, the forgeborn.

We just started back up our Pathfinder game that was on a break while I ran a Savage Worlds Deadlands game. We're 9th level or so, playing in a custom setting by the GM. I'm trying to organize another Deadlands game, an adaptation of CoC's Masks of Nyarlathotep scenario where the PCs travel the...

If you have any interest, you might check out the conversion of the marshal/warlord concept that I did, called the commander. I tried to give a variety of different action options so they could work with other types of characters - there are a few stealth-related abilities and a few related to...

I was very frustrated by the game's controls. I'm left-handed, and use the keypad for all my movement and control. I've played Fallout extensively with this setup and never had any trouble. For some reason, though, the keys don't remap properly so I can play the way I'm used to. I found a mod...

I always had problems with the bindings of GURPS books - they tended to crack at the spine and start losing pages easily. I think that was the only thing I've returned. I worked at the FLGS at the time, so it was trivial. As I remember, it went back defective.

WotC had Magic and D&D camps for two or three years, ending in 1999. It was a week-long camp - campers stayed at the University of Washington and walked to the WotC game center in the University district. The mornings were spent in the arcade there, or on the networked gaming computers or...

I got a copy of Red November, a fun little board game. My girlfriend gave me a copy of the Smith and Robards 1880 catalog for Deadlands.

I played in a Firefly game using Deadlands once. It worked out pretty well. A different group played a space opera Alpha Centauri-esque game with 4e and Star Wars Saga at different times.
