Thank you for the extra. Thanks to you and Brandon Hodge, too. Regards, Ruemere

Kraken and sea, Tarrasque and land. Hence my analogy. The reason for proposed abilities is that Sharktopussy is such a mind boggling terror that one is likely to collapse, or die even from sheer fright. It's also so bloody stubborn, and so difficult to kill, that mundane spells often go wild...

This creature is going to be a toast if hit with ranged attacks. Illusions or any ongoing effect will also have a field day with it. Considering that this is a waterborne version of Tarrasque, I would say that you should go for similar array of special defensive abilities. For example: -...

Use common sense. There are more problems with Eldritch Knights... for example, where do they record spells (if their primary class used a spellbook)? How do they get new spells at all (it does not say that they can learn spells)? See, Wizards gain new spells by copying them into their...

I'll bite. Over the course of the play the class loses three caster levels (i.e. access to 2 spell levels due to staggered sorcerer class progression). Not good. 3.5 standard for weakened spellcaster prestige classes was, IIRC, around -2 caster levels per 10 levels of prestige class. -- Subtle...

Pathfinder Core Rulebook, Advanced Player's Guide with Action Points, minus Magic Items or Creation Feats (artifacts are allowed as GM's vehicle for furthering the story). To elaborate: 1. Without magic items, any melee is deadly, and magic users are very hard pressed for resources. 2. Build...

(just hoping Jason read the suggestions from all nice folks here) Regards, Ruemere

There are quite a few interesting playtest threads at paizo.com (Rogue Eidolon's collection of playtest links). I do heartily recommend withholding judgment on the class until one's given them a once over. My own opinion is that, in addition to stuff written in my post above, the class...

Magus, as per core of original design, is a melee combatant capable of casting spells during full attack action. Essentially, he should achieve efficiency of flanking two-weapon-wielding Fighter/Rogue. As per initial playtest impressions, the class gets pretty close to this ideal with the...

My hope for new spell system is something in in the vein of Monte Cook's Arcana Evolved - unified spell progression, readied spells, spell slot exchanges and spell templates. Or, at the very least, Trailblazer version. Regards, Ruemere

Still, Spring Attack + Power Attack + Furious Focus[1] with, optionally, Hide in Plain Sight, makes for a nice damage. [1] Furious Focus (APG) - feat granting ability to ignore penalty from Power Attack on a first attack each round. Regards, Ruemere

While I remain a strong supporter of the former, I also happen to believe that there are certain issues with usage of PcGen (Yahoo groups, QA delivery, data format, functionality). You simply need to know what you're doing to achieve your ends - and so, while I do use the application for my...

There is definitely a need for PFRPG character builder. Heck, a statblock builder would do wonders. The issues: legality and quality. The "full validation" is also worrisome - some aspects of the system are beyond your ability to reproduce and therefore you may have problems with achieving it...

There are quite a few threads already... maybe it is time to make a FAQ on Pathfinder? Anyway, these are the links I consider most important for the undecided: PFRPG Conversion Guide - free guide to converting stuff from 3.5 to PFRPG. Pathfinder OGL - as in: whole Pathfinder for free and...

Could you share a few more details? Regards, Ruemere

You're asking for quite a lot. I'm human (i.e. lazy and prone to error), so doing an unbiased comparatory analysis is beyond me at this moment. How about this - check the links below and then ask specific questions: Pathfinder OGL document. Overview of the core manual. Free products. Regards...

Horror works best with personal ties firmly in place - in other words, you need to establish ties between player characters and local NPCs. You have not provided any details as to the nature of the city, so assuming a typical renaissance mix of fantasy cliches: NPCs to get acquainted with: -...

Actually, as my players are about to reach Hollowfaust, this is going to be particularly useful (the said creatures were mentioned in Hollowfaust citybook, too). Regards, Ruemere

:) Kudos for bringing back :) Regards, Ruemere

*ding* You have advanced a level in "Married" class. Note that your allegiance may shift and several special abilities (for example, "Late night partying" or "Late night administration of ENWorld") may be impeded. *ding* You have a new feat. *ding* You have new skill points. *ding* Your prestige...
