As written, it could be used with firearms - all the powers work with any ranged weapon. I could easily see a combination of magus and gunslinger with Int-based deeds and such. Thats where I'd start with a gunmage conversion.

You'll need a psionics system to do Dark Sun effectively - have you looked at Psionics Unleashed? It's a Pathfinder conversion of the 3.5 Expanded Psionics Handbook system. I've not looked at in any depth, so I can't really comment on it - just something to be aware of. Another consideration...

It could be useful as a wild attack, but I like that better as a combat action that everyone can do. Rather than provoking an AoO, I'd say they were flat-footed until the beginning of their next turn. That's pretty debilitating.

In the past year, I've run Pathfinder (briefly) and Savage Worlds (currently running a Deadlands game that looks like it will jump gaming groups to continue with a few players the same and some different). I've played mostly Pathfinder with a brief (two or three sessions) attempt at a GURPS Mass...

Ultimate Magic and, to a lesser degree, Ultimate Combat, are must-haves, in my opinion. I really like the classes in Ultimate Magic - I will probably play a magus and an alchemist as my next two PCs, honestly. The witch is very cool as well - there's one in my current Pathfinder game as the main...

Thanks, glad you like it. I can't take any credit for the artwork, honestly. It came from here: Animation, Concept Art, CG, Computer Graphics, Video Games, VFX, Visual Development, Comics, Illustration, Toys, Entertainment, Galleries, Images, Wallpapers ??? CGHUB.com Galleries Good stuff there...

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! KABOOM! -Jix Jiggoth, goblin bomber Some alchemists delight in the barrage of bombs they can unleash on a battlefield. They live for the flash and thump of explosions, and focus on such practices to the exclusion of other, less visceral, alchemical studies. Such alchemists...

Glad you like it and are getting some use out of it. I can see the logic to cleaning up the item creation feats by just making them bonus feats, but it just doesn't look right to me. I'd also be a bit concerned about the possibility of an artificer having a huge number of bonus metamagic feats...

Probably the most actively mean thing I've done was in a Ravenloft-esque horror game I ran years ago. Two of the PCs had become a couple - a nature witch and a half-vampire rogue. In the course of the game, they together adopted a young girl that was orphaned in one of the group's adventures...

By RAW, yes, that would be very nasty, though note that they can dismiss the spell as an action on their turn. Personally, I'd be inclined to assume that there was a saving throw (probably Fortitude negates (harmless)) implicit there, since there wasn't any way to cast a personal spell on...

I agree that crossbows are mechanically inferior to a longbow, and I can see the appeal of a mighty crossbow. I like the idea of a Str check to cock a bow you couldn't normally use, only because it's going to be a rare case anyway. If it was every turn it wouldn't be a good mechanic...

Full sneak attack is considerably more powerful than the bard's performance abilities - sneak attack is like 80% or more of a rogue's power in that one ability, in my opinion. It's their core power and by far the most important thing they do. Giving a bard sneak attack instead of performance...

What rulebooks, and how would ability scores be generated? What format would be easiest? I might have time to write up something today.

1. The basic ranger's animal companion is mostly a well-trained animal, not supernaturally attuned. You get bonuses to Handle Animal and wild empathy checks with it, but that's all. If you want to go that route, look at the Beastmaster archetype. The Speak with Animals spell is handy for this...

Interesting. I didn't know that. Is Ultimate Combat out, or is that one of the previews?

Imbued Shot does that - lets you deliver touch spells with projectiles.

When Ultimate Magic came out, I was hoping for a magus archetype that allowed you to do an arcane archer. Since almost all the magus's current powers rely on a melee weapon, you can't really do justice to an AA, in my opinion - you can do it, but all you really get out of the class is the spell...

I was introduced to RPGs through the old Gold Box computer games, in particular Secret of the Silver Blades. I saw it at the store and bought it because it looked fun, and got into the series. My cousin saw it and told me about his experiences with tabletop, which prompted me to get the 2e basic...

If I were running the game, I'd say the weapon increases as you do, so if it's not sized appropriately when you start, the power wouldn't help.

For figures, I use counters of various colors labeled with letters. As I'm putting them out on the battlemat, I'll write down what I put out and what each color means - ie, red are the bandit thugs, purple are the bandit spellcasters, etc. When a player attacks a critter, they tell me which...
