    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Lite: New Tablet Optimized PDFs

    I'll take a look but that ship has kind of sailed for me. I switched to the PFR app a while ago. Not as pretty, and flawed, but fast and fully linked. App Store - PFR

    Hits, misses and hit point loss in REH's Conan

    HP have always required the exercise of doublethink. If a 'hit' is a 'miss' as per the suggestion, then why does a 'miss' with a greatsword cause more story/morale/life force/mojo damage than a 'miss' with a hat pin?

    Player Distractions.

    We have a player who is notorious for falling asleep at the table. We have wondered if it might be something medical. There are also suspicious silences on the skype call during our online sessions. We call it Weekend at Bernies syndrome.

    Help Needed - Houseruling AOOs

    Thanks for comments everyone. Think I might concentrate on movement AOOs only and see if there is a tweak there that might free things up - perhaps a variant of the 5' step rule. Perhaps the first 5' of all movement between threatened squares could be made free?

    Help Needed - Houseruling AOOs

    Thanks! I can't help but think it could be that simple! I worry though about spell-casting in melee?

    Help Needed - Houseruling AOOs

    I'd love to make combat a little less 'sticky' by dialling down the effect AOOs have on tactical movement but am short of ideas as to how to accomplish this. They just seem to be too hardwired into the feat economy. Also act as a balancing element with flanking and restricting range and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Reality Check: What 5E Will NOT Be

    What are you working on? (Playing, GMing, desigining, etc)

    Playing: Kingmaker Planning: I'm one of three players in our group who rotate as GM and I've got between now and halfway through Kingmaker (i.e. ages) to work out what to run next. Options include: Revisiting my homebrew, the city of Evenstar, which sits above a series of large underground...

    Starting the iteration at DDXP: Reimagining Skills and Abilities

    How about: 1E/2E style (the basic core game) - no name skills. You add relevant ability mod + (level/2) + int mod to d20 to perform certain tasks. So to bluff a guard the check might be CHA mod + (level/2) + Int mod + d20. No skill block on the character sheet. 3E/4E style - you get skill...

    DDI Virtual Table Beta Tour and Future

    Thanks for the tour! More about non 4E support please: How locked in are you to the CB? Can you just use the VTT as a ruleset-agnostic battlemat/dice-roller/initiative tracker? Can you load up your own maps? Is it a hosted solution or do you need to use your own PC as a server (and do the...

    4E to Pathfinder - what is it like? What do you miss? Pleasant surprises?

    @ Henry, how about making channel positive energy useable with a swift action as a house rule?

    I'm sorry, your character is too good

    We don't get too many problems of this nature in our group: 1. We play pretty much core only (although more recently, in PF game, we have been allowing APG options). 2. No magic crafting (not a conscious choice, just a play-style thing we have held over from our old 1 and 2E games). 3. The...

    WotC to Release 1st Edition Premium Core Rulebooks Reprints

    Very cool. But for me, if they could get them to smell like the original books... that would be something. Actually, that makes me sound weird.
