    A Psion without Psionics

    Specifically, a character modeled after a telepath. My DM loathes psionics, and thus doesn't allow them in his games. I have the desire to play a psionic character, so my goal is to take a normal spell-caster and mold the flavor of the class and spells to resemble psionic effects. I've picked...

    Can a cleric of a divine concept still have a patron god?

    Is it possible for a cleric who dedicates himself to a certain philosophy to have a patron deity? One who has nothing to do with said philosophy? I plan on creating a cleric for an upcoming Pathfinder game, and want to model him after a white mage from the Final Fantasy series. Essentially, I...

    Wow, thanks for the help. This will be a great start to the research. And christmas is coming up; now I have a few more things to add to the list.

    History, Mythology, Art and RPGs

    I'm focusing on the Persian Empire (550–330 BCE) as a time frame and setting. I plan on having a heavy Persian influence in the world of the story (dress, military, customs, language, etc). Besides that, I realized that I know every little about ancient arms and armor, and how they were really...

    Thanks for links and tips, guys. I appreciate it. :) My questions were not actually linked to gaming; I've been set on writing a novel, and am deep in the research portion. I sort of skidded to a halt when I realized how difficult it is to find credible information about certain topics. It has...

    What do you think of the witch?

    I like the concept of the witch, but I'm not too keen on the execution. The Hexes bother me; with a few exception, most are kind of lackluster.

    PRPG Advanced Player's Guide Playtest: Summoner and Witch

    I have a thought: is an Eidolon limited to the first base form that is chosen, or can that be changed along with all of its evolutions when the Summoner gains a level? Unless I missed it, that has not been clarified.

    History, Mythology, Art and RPGs

    A bit off topic, but this thread, I feel, is the best place to ask on the boards. I am trying to beef up my knowledge on a few subjects: medieval warfare, medieval weapons, and information on the Achaemenid Empire (culture, government, etc). I've tried looking for websites on the subjects, but...

    PRPG Advanced Player's Guide Playtest: Summoner and Witch

    And you know what else Yuna and Rydia had? Actually powerful spellcasting at their disposal. Yuna was a competent white mage, and Rydia had white and black magic. All the Eidonloneer has is his pet, and less spells known than a sorcerer. If a sorcerer can cast know more spells and cast more...

    PRPG Advanced Player's Guide Playtest: Summoner and Witch

    My thoughts exactly. If the focus of the class is on a pet and it only has so-so summoning abilities, than the name should change. Eidoloneer is great if you look at it for what it is: someone who controls an eidolon. With the recent change, it is a sucky summoner.

    PRPG Advanced Player's Guide Playtest: Summoner and Witch

    Adding smiley faces to a statement does nothing to obfuscate the snark. Just saying. But I suppose I see the point. I didn't mean to offend with what I said. If I insulted anyone, I apologize. And I would strongly disagree with you; "broken" is hardly the term I would use. Honestly, people...

    PRPG Advanced Player's Guide Playtest: Summoner and Witch

    This, IMO, isn't really necessary. Having access to haste at level 4 instead of level 5 (when a wizard would get it) isn't a game breaker. And by the time he gets access to those other spells (dimension door, etc) a wizard would already be able to cast those. All together, not too bad...

    PRPG Advanced Player's Guide Playtest: Summoner and Witch

    The Summoner is cool, for the most part I think that the classes hit die and BAB should be scaled down to match that or the wizard/sorcerer. Having said that, I think the rest is fine. I like the increased duration of summon monster spells; one of the largest complaints I have with the duration...

    Looking for tips on roleplaying a low charisma

    He is a 1st level Dwarven Druid. We are going to be playing The Legacy of Fire AP using Pathfinder RPG rules. He has a 11 Int, 20 Wis, and 7 Cha. I don't know too much about the adventure path, besides the fact that it takes place in a desert area and gnolls are a common threat. I'd really like...

    Looking for tips on roleplaying a low charisma

    I'm looking for some advice on a recently created character for a Pathfinder RPG game. This character has a charisma of 7, and I am looking for some tips on roleplaying something that low. The problem is coming up with an effective method of portraying him that doesn't get on the other players...

    Evil is cool

    This is not limited to 4E; I notice that the most interesting and useful spells and prestige classes in 3E were evil most of the time. There is a saying in our group: The Gods (the designers of the game) favor evil. I feel your pain; I like my characters to be heroes, and nothing is more...

    Spells which were not properly nerved...

    Slow progressive effects are another 4E construct I'd prefer never to exist. If Pathfinder spells became like that, you could get rid of the "save" in "save or suck." Because the spells would just suck.

    4e Annoyances for those who like 4e

    1.The Cosmology bugs me. Alot. And yes, I personally cannot stand "Feywild," "shadowfell," and "Elemental Chaos." 2. Scrying Rituals. Too expensive for the tiny duration.
