I forgot about the loss of limbs rules....those were great. I also liked the chain of Parry feats, Parry, Continuous Parry, Riposte, Sidestep, etc. etc. They really made fencing/fighting a lot of fun. I've got a soft spot in my heart for those kinds of rules in D&D. A setting with the...

I was thinking....Swashbuckling Adventures from AEG had some variant firearm rules that might give a means of simulating the power of firearms without resorting to ranged touch attacks etc. I think they basically dictated that at short range, a firearm gave *up to +5 to attack rolls, with a...

This is partly what I was getting at. It's just another me habit for how ssomething can happen. At the end of the day, if your medusa stones a character with one saving throw or the red dragon breathes fire on the character, who passes his save but then fails his save vs massive damage, he's...

What about "A Fistful of Denari"? Any have that one? I keep looking at the product page at RPG Now, and the reviews seemed decent.

I just ordered the Pathfinder Bestiaries 1 and 2, and have been reading through them. Interesting to see the evolution in #2, and how the game is starting to diverge in core...particularly with reimaginings of particular monsters such as the Siren (and Kelpie, I think). However, I'm somewhat...

I disagree with this point. Even if it's a 50% chance that a monster can kill a PC instantly, that doesn't make it poorly designed. Nor does it eliminate tension. It's a party game. It's intended for groups of 4-5 characters, and maybe even some hirelings or followers. If there is a 50%...

The wolf looks basically like a white german shepherd. A friend of mine has one, and my first thought on seeing the trailer was that this dog is acting in a TV show. :) Looks like a carbon copy. Banshee

So, once you use and "discard" a card, does that mean you're supposed to throw it out? You use them once in your game and throw them out? Or simply use them, and take them out of your deck? Regardless.....I wouldn't allow a player to use them in my game. I would *assume* that the use of these...

I'm not making that assumption at all. I *know* that some groups are doing both....my old group is doing that...they play 4E Fridays, I believe, and Pathfinder Sundays. Now, that having been said, the ones I've talked with have mentioned they may be quitting the 4E game since they just don't...

Is this product line just hyperbole? Or is this actually planned? Randomized card packs intended as part of an RPG session? I hadn't read anything about that. If that's the way they're trying to take things....ew.....just........ewwwwww. I'm hoping this is just hyperbole. Banshee

That sounds about right...didn't that page come up at GenCon? Banshee

Doesn't apply only to fish in barrels. I read in Nelson's Trafalgar, by Roy Adkins, that sailors were killed by canon balls passing through the air near them....the shockwave in the air cold be lethal. Banshee

What is there for Paizo to do in 3.5 for support? They're coming up with stuff, and it's selling....so evidently there is stuff left to do. Banshee

This is an interesting point. It could have been a way to try and retain customers. But, hindsight is 20/20. I suspect when the decision to set a release date for 4E was made, the market for 3E products was not strong. Maybe they felt their only choice was to deep six 3E, and come out with...

That's a blast from the past :) Banshee

I seem to remember something funny with the timing....was it that at WinterCon they denied that 4E was coming out yet, and said that the next edition wouldn't be announced at Gen Con? Then they turned around and announced it at Gen Con a few months later? that's what I remember....but I could...

I'm not sure I agree here. With the right programmer, it doesn't have to cost a lot to build an application like that. I've known programmers who've created much larger and more complicated systems than DDI. That having been said, I guess it depends on how many resources you define as "a...

Did the market demand more 3E? Wasn't that the point of the d20 glut? There was more product than demand? Hence the need to get 4E out the door? Banshee

Well, hindsight is 20/20. Paizo's gamble looks like sheer brilliance now. But at the time that they made their decision to create Pathfinder, it was a huge risk. There was no guarantee that sufficient numbers of customers would stay away from 4E to support Pathfinder. There was no guarantee...

I seem to remember reading WotC writing that there was going to be no 4.5, because they learned how much customers were frustrated by 3.5 coming out so close after 3.0. The *impression* I get is that Impressions may have been a "knee jerk" type product release. For that matter, the release of...
