    D&D 3.x gamers who skipped 4e, why are you not "upgrading" to Pathfinder?

    Thanks to everyone who provided detailed reasons. And a reply... The rules of PF adhere to combat maneuver system. With an exception of special modifier of +5 to maintain grapple, and that maintaining the grapple is a standard action (thus making things like multiple attacks impossible or...

    D&D 3.x gamers who skipped 4e, why are you not "upgrading" to Pathfinder?

    Interesting especially since I ran two higher level encounters last night under Pathfinder. And it struck me that PF monsters are much better designed that their 3.5 counterparts... or to put it like this: the organization of information (statblocks) and special abilities work better. Case in...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Advanced Player's Guide Preview

    Specifically, a Barbarian needs to choose Beast Totem Rage power and then Greater Beast Totem Rage Power. The latter grants Pounce. Regards, Ruemere

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Advanced Player's Guide Preview

    Barbarian + Rage + Pounce (Rage power, 10th level needed) = one serious momma of a charge. Regards, Ruemere

    Rise of the Runelords: Difficulty Level (Spoilers included)

    If I remember correctly, the initial APs by Paizo assumed 5 party members. Secondly, a cleric is essential for less stealthy parties. Thirdly, you may want to read about Rise of Runelords at Paizo forum. Finally, there are conversions of Paizo modules available at d20pfsrd.com, fan conversions...

    Kingmaker: Carnival of Tears?

    Carnival of Tears would make for a great Kingdom event. Oh, the look on the player faces when they realize stuff happening to their capital... Regards, Ruemere

    Pathfinder 1E Older material in Pathfinder

    Disclaimer: It's been a long time since I read BoVD. I may be wrong about some things. Second disclaimer: My opinion resembles that of Darren MacLennan. Major gripes: - the book was written for 3.0, i.e. different damage resistance, different design philosophy - there are a lot of new systems...

    Pathfinder 1E Older material in Pathfinder

    I am not a big fan of BoVD (for mechanical reasons, the flavor was excellent), but I'd say it should work fine. Just remember that Paladins are better at doing their work now. Do you have any specific concerns? BoVD contains a lot of material, so maybe we could help you better if you enumerate...

    Help me nerf the druid

    Pile up. Once someone gets a grapple, Aid him. Grapple, important quotes: Remember +5! If your target does not break the grapple, you get a +5 circumstance bonus on grapple checks made against the same target in subsequent rounds. - as soon as you get to maintain the grapple, you get +5 to...

    Help me nerf the druid

    When fighting opposition of higher level, expect difficulties. Also, in this particular case: close your eyes and grapple. So yes, he'll get AoO on you (or maybe not, he was a sorcerer). 50% miss chance and your CMB vs his CMD: CMD = 10 + Base attack bonus + Strength modifier + Dexterity...

    How is the Paladin?

    Advanced Player Guide is to bring a lot of new feats, many of them enhancing aspects of martial classes (mobility, team feats). Other than that, you don't really need anything - between Divine Bond (the sword), Lay on Hands (self-healing) and Smite current version of Paladin is incredibly...

    How is the Paladin?

    I have a 13th level paladin in my party. Here are the important bits: The class has a great potential, however you need to look beyond smites. Of smite, the most important thing to remember is that you ignore target's DR for the duration of smite. You are unkillable as long as you have smites...

    Fantasy Craft 2nd printing PDF now available

    No need to hide. First, have a look at official Pathfinder PRD. Secondly, add logistics of both open testing and devising two test versions at production level quality. Thirdly, consider having a look at one of free helpings (for example: free Bonus Bestiary). Conversion is neither obligatory...

    D&D 5E (2014) Essentials: More like 3.9e than 4.5e (link inside)

    Since Essentials line is supposed to contain new version of rule system, the real question here is, why would anyone need that rule system? The key aspects (as per marketing so far) appear to boil down to the following: new, updated, simplified, yet still the same in terms of effect. Is it...

    Drow Immunities help

    Assuming that you're using an older edition of rules, Drow under 3.5 get the same wording of the ability as standard Elves, i.e. spells and effects. Pathfinder version is different. My suggestion would be to ask at rule forum on Paizo boards. Regards, Ruemere
