If it's a little fishing village, or a place that hates and fears wizards, I could see there not being any rituals there. But the bigger issue is the DM doesn't understand them. Talk with him, point out how easy they are to use. You pay the material cost to cast it, you take the listed...

Ok, I know this is going against the general consensus here, but I think 1000 pages is a bit of overkill. The 3 books for 3.x combined were about 220 pages. That is a very big dungeon, one that'll take take characters and DMs a very long time to finish. I don't know about others, but my group...

How about this: The dolls ready an action so that when the melee type charges into range, they unleash their "paralyze" attack. PC: "I charge and smash the first doll! Rrrarr!" DM: "Ok, make 3 Will saves..." PC: "I got a 15, a 6, and a 12" DM: "You run at them, growling, but when you...

Think of it like this... Minor Healing is a useful 1st level spell that can be cast at will, once per person per day. At 5th level it morphs into a 2nd level spell, twice as powerful, still at will 1 per person per day. Major Healing is 4th level spell, at will, and it becomes a 5th level...

Hmmm, I can see how it might be interpreted that way... I had read it as only referring to the Patron bonus spells that you get at various levels, not the 2 spells learned at each level just for leveling. I think only the patron spells are called "bonus spells", not the level-based acquired...

Yeah, it is really nasty, but a DM tends to have to target a pet, or hit you with some nasty AoE's. All familiars get 1/2 the caster's HP, and they get improved evasion. So they take 1/2 damage on a failed save, no damage on a successful save. They tend to be very small, so they get bonuses...

There is 1 big drawback that Witches suffer with the Improved Familiar feat that wizards and sorcerers don't... the familiar is their spellbook. If they lose their familiar, the new familiar only gets all Cantrips + 2 spells of each spell level the witch can cast. So if she can cast 4th level...

Many of the hexes are there simply as nods to famous witches... do you want to copy Baba Yaga's Hut? There's a hex for it. Do you want a witch that rides you in your nightmares, as some supposedly did? There's a hex. Do you want a witch that creates poison apples and can put princesses to...

Look, some of you may not like Celtavian getting a bit angry, but as far as the facts he is stating, I can 100% confirm it. His game sounds almost exactly like my game. Casters are simple to counter, but the massive physical damage dealers make mincemeat of every enemy I throw at them. A...

If a character is unconscious and dying (rolling his death saves round by round), then healing surges can and do heal wounds. You don't go unconscious or die from "near misses that used up a bit of luck and some endurance". Even if you say it was only the final blow that actually connected and...

I would agree... keep any bonuses you have up to this point for gaining levels as a Half-Elf, but future levels would be gained as a Kobold. At this point, that probably means just skill point or hit point, but the upcoming PF race book should give you some additional options. If you're lucky...

No, the high quality and quantity of contents are the selling point, which they included rather than skimping on the contents in order to meet an arbitrary price point.

Same here, I was playing a Chr 6 dwarven druid who had no civilized manners. He spat, cursed, insulted, and generally annoyed people with his habits, and I loved playing him that way! Sure, as a player I knew that we needed to smooth-talk the mayor of the town, but a half-feral dwarf wouldn't...

We only allow 1 stat to drop below 10. That way, you can have a single area where you are below par, which is realistic, but not dump everything but the most vital stats.

I ordered this at my FLGS, but it's still not in yet. I didn't know it had reprinted material in it when I ordered it, that might have made a difference. However, some of it is from DDI (which I don't subscribe to), and some it seems was changed. Why were the other items reprinted though? If...

As Fishbone said, anyone putting Paladin at a low rank has never seen one in PF... they are absolute monsters. And Fishbone didn't even mention one of their most powerful new abilities: Aura of Justice (gained at 11th level) = Group Smite. Yes, by spending 2 Smite uses as a free action, all...

Well, remember that Cook has not been a 4e designer until now, he may not know 4e all that well yet. Most of the people I play Pathfinder with have not read 4e and probably don't know about Passive Perception and Insight.

It might be a case of not having DMs to run both. I run Encounters at my FLGS, and a PF game with my friends on Fridays, and that's all the time I have to spare. If he's going to run Lair Assaults, he'll need to find another DM, and there are none. Have you considered that your store's DM may...

Not a troll, but similar... I ran a Hydra encounter this week, and decided to go with a special Hydra that could only be killed by chopping off its heads and cauterizing the wound... attacks to the body had no effect at all. We had 4 characters in the party, they did enough damage on their...

As others said, it depends upon your role... DM vs a spellcasting PC vs a martial PC. Also, the higher the level of the game, the more dice you need... casters get 1 dice of damage per caster level, in many cases, and clerics heal more and more as they level up. You might just order a "pound...
