    Pathfinder 1E Disenchanted with Pathfinder

    Strictly speaking that's not what they did. They rejected the LA system but they haven't really replaced it with anything. I'm glad you and your DM are rolling with the stats you have but as Paizo has said they don't really have a system for Monster Characters in place. Officially the bestiary...

    Looking for magic items with 'quirks'

    Sharpening Stone This fine quality stone is a foot long and about 2 inches wide. Man is it sharp! It works quickly but at every use the character must roll a d20. On a fumble the character cuts himself for 1d6 of damage. The stone may be used as a small sized shortsword. Drum of Annoyance -...

    Pathfinder 1E Disenchanted with Pathfinder

    Sounds to me like you're just burned out on 3.x. Pathfinder has refined some of the 3.X OGL framework but its still OGL D&D. Get outdoors for a while. Play a radically different game. Play a boardgame. Go clean sewers for fun :). I wouldn't over think it because there are no game police out...

    D&D 3.x D&D 3.5 scribe scroll with a spell XP cost

    Pathfinder just got rid of the XP costs. Thats my preferred way of doing things. The money shouldn't be trivial - if it is there's more broken than magic items. And it never made sense to me that creation should cost erase learning and experience - should be the other way around. Sigurd

    Magus of the Unseen PrC (PEACH)

    How do you forsee an increase in skills. A Standard wizard has time for 2 skill points, one extra feat per five levels, and whatever else his\her character is doing. Your PRC has twice the time for skills, has extra possible skill types to learn, and gets to apply focus benefits to bluff...

    How do you pit an 8th level character against a great wyrm?

    Bosses delegate. If they run into the dragon at this level they should be toast (perhaps literally). Dragons are arrogant, sometimes lazy. Make a ring of servants for the dragon. They players might slowly learn about the organization as they face the members. Sigurd

    Looking for magic items with 'quirks'

    A ring of fire resistance that forces the user to only speak infernal. A ring they have to take and destroy in an active volcano ... wait, been done.

    Old 3.x PDF - Mundane Magic????

    I appreciate the good will but I know it isn't any of those. This is what I was remembering... http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/re/20021007a Thank heavens for decent adventure notes.

    Old 3.x PDF - Mundane Magic????

    I have a dim memory of a publication or pdf that had a collection of mediocre spells. I recall a spell that made you seem like a servant and a few relatively low level travelers items. A cloak? I am not sure but I think it might have been by Sean Reynolds. It was a small thing under seven...

    Generate a Sample Spell Library

    I agree, especially for player characters. Not all spell collections will be put together by PCs though. Perhaps some will be for businesses, some might be for political gain, and some might be for star crossed lovers. The library will collect in part for research, in part simply to keep the...

    Generate a Sample Spell Library

    I don't want the best spells. They generally take care of themselves. I'd like a collection of the probable and possible. (In that order). Wizards should be able to learn a spell as personal growth. A library shouldn't necessarily have the best. It has whats been collected. I'd like a random...

    Generate a Sample Spell Library

    I have a wizard on excellent terms with an established minor ruling power. The power is rather high character heavy having been the retirement site of a previous set of adventurers. What do people think it the best way (hopefully with software recommendations) to generate a list of the...

    Why do dwarves chop down trees?

    I'm told it takes about 500lbs of charcoal to make a shortsword. Charcoal itself is made from more wood. Coal does not have the same properties as charcoal. Sometimes it wont do for the metal you are working\creating. Its not possible to say the dwarves will just use metal for things because...

    Roleplaying a fair and decent leader

    Find the Goal of your rule. It will settle most of your questions. The challenge with any module dealing with rulership is giving enough info to be interesting without being burdensome. Understand the time frame of the module and the passage of time. Be prepared to respond to delays and failures...

    Rules for Rulers? (fantasy)

    Before you can do anything of course you have to determine what rights you're given as a noble. It is unlikely that you 'own' your land as you are still the loyal supporter of a monarch. You may however own or control some of it outright that is a rare but expedient occurrence. You may be...

    AD&D 1E 1e->3x->Pathfinder Bard Prestige Class

    Good luck finding what you're looking for but... I have to say I think the Pathfinder Bard is one of my favourite characters to play right now. Really works over a a number of levels. It's a little strange to count rounds (some DMs simply dont) but it's a really good class. Sigurd

    Help me make WotC adventures better.

    You guys produce a lot of adventures. If every writer does not please 10% then you don't please a lot of people. You also please a lot of people who are less vocal. You have consistently great art. (Keyed and unkeyed art is a must) You have a fair whack of new\special monsters. ("If you loved...

    PC Races

    Dresden is a wonderful balance. The problem in D&D is that power levels change so quickly that you rejig all the player challenges to keep them challenging every 2 levels. You have to design your arch villains to level as well (and then justify it) or change them for other villains. You know...
