I've always looked at as while undead the body is filled with necromantic energies that are animating it and preventing the original soul from returning. In order to return someone to the living that has been turned to an undead you have to defeat the undead and then cast the appropriate spell...

My DM also makes fairly unique items. One greatsword has +2 str, something else I don't remember, and causes vulnerability to poison. Most of his items are like that. Some interesting and potentially powerful effects but with a drawback too. There's no need for the + to hit and the weapon is...

See, to me, a flaming sword that does +1d6 fire damage and can do burning hands one per day is way more interesting than a +1 sword. Focus on bonuses other than +hit/AC/saves and you can have a huge amount of various and unique items without messing with bounded accuracy.

I wasn't doom and glooming. I was agreeing with your statement that things will be interesting over the next few years because of the recent big news.

Especially since they lost dancy and had to let almost the entire pathfinder online team go. I know goblinworks was separate, but something like that still eats funds from the main company.

Wait, does flanking not provide advantage by RAW? I just want to be sure so I can make sure my DM knows.

Remember that the fighter vs Balor assumes that the fighter doesn't have magic items or feats. The game is presented as balanced for no optional rules (magic items, feats, multi-classing, etc). Adding those things decreases the challenge of the monsters as presented. I'm not arguing that the...

Players can easily get focused on a bit of a theme for their character. In my case I'm playing a dwarven war cleric and I wanted to go sheild and hammer. The DM dangled a very (VERY) nice magical greatsword in front of me, but I stuck with my non-magical hammer because it's how I saw my...

One idea I've been tossing around for my next character is a "Paladin of Wrath". Which is essentially a lvl 1 great weapon fighter, lvl X fiend (re-flavored to angel of wrath) warlock that takes the blade boon. It should be able to compete damage wise with the great sword and armor of agythys...

One possibility is because he stilled rolled the attack and got a crit so it's an automatic hit. The assassin get's an automatic crit but he still has to roll to hit.

Turns in a combat round are abstract. If someone throws a oil flask at the ground at my feet and on my turn I move away then I didn't just stand around in the fire, I moved away before it could burn me. If I end my turn there then I did stand around. It's not like everyone is standing around...

Side question. Does anyone know where I can get a list of the AI videos in order?

Hide the game references. Don't say someone is casting a spell or point out the mechanics of things just to cater to the players. The story should flow naturally and these things should be behind the scenes.

Make a mounted combat weapon style for the paladin, fighter, and ranger. Done. Everything else is just mechanics for the special snowflake syndrome IMO.

You beat me to it. So I would like to second the nomination for the Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue. I would be ok with creating a martial(exotic) category that includes the odd ones that are equal mechanically but don't come included in the all martial weapon proficiencies. Allow them to be...

1d6 short sword + 2d6 sneak attack = 3d6 + 3d6 (crit)

Player: "I'm going to walk over and search by the thing." DM: "You can't move." Player: "Awe crap. I've been surprised again." DM: "... just roll initiative..." lol I think raw works just fine for this. Assassinate just isn't as powerful as some people thought it was, which is ok for me...

Don't take the pact names literally. Just re-name the fiend pact as the vengeance pact and it pretty much fits right in thematically.

So, according so some interpretations, if you are surprised you can't take actions and therefore you have not taken a turn. By this logic an assassin that wins initiative can attack with advantage and max damage the first round, the target doesn't get a turn, then the assassin can attack with...

Wow the feats of logic are amazing in this one. *grabs popcorn* It's like a twisted Olympics floor show.
