    Fast Healer (feat)

    As written, too much. Compare it to Draconic Aura (Vigor) on a dragonblooded character, which grants up to fast healing 4-- at 20th level-- to all allies within 30 feet but only so long as they are at less than half hit points. Or Fast Healer from Pathfinder, which requires two other feat...

    D&D 3.x AD&D vs 3e?

    I'd have to say that I'm torn between Player's Option 2E and Pathfinder, though there are aspects of every edition of D&D that appeal to me. For instance, I love the race-as-class rules from Classic-- especially from the Gazetteer series-- and pretty much everything about 4E except the class...

    Oddball question about Reincanate Spell

    I don't believe it's specified anywhere, but I would rule that you would keep the Half-Elf Summoner Favored Class bonuses for Summoner levels you gained as a Half-Elf, and then you would gain the Kobold Summoner Favored Class bonuses (if any) for Summoner levels you gained as a Kobold.

    Alignment Question - Chaotic Neutral or Chaotic Evil?

    Shamelessly robbing you is perfectly consistent with the other character's Chaotic Neutral alignment. Gut checking him and leaving him to bleed to death on the dungeon floor is perfectly consistent with... well, any alignment. Probably not okay for a Paladin-- unless he's authorized to dispense...

    What would you play?

    I have my preferences-- in some cases my strong preferences-- but I'll play any version of D&D that someone else wants to run. If I'm ever inclined to run D&D again, it'll be a cross between BECMI and Pathfinder. The selection of games I'm willing to run is more limited, but aside from a...

    What do you think of the Inquisitor?

    I don't like Teamwork feats, and they seem to be a major portion of the Inquisitor's functionality.

    Pathfinder 1E Just how compatible is Pathfinder?

    If it's a class skill for the most obvious entry path, this. If it's a cross-class skill, you want to go in the other direction. You want to double the ranks before you subtract 3. Otherwise, the skill requirements for a lot of "multiclass" PrCs become trivial.

    Planescape

    Githzerai as monks was canon from their first appearance in the 1e Fiend Folio, when they were one of the very very few non-humans capable of belonging to the Monk class. The only thing they got wrong in 3.X was their Intelligence and Charisma penalties, which seem out of place for a race known...

    What level is your average local NPC?

    In my games, any adult is at least level 1. Professionals are usually level 2 or 3, masters in their field can be as high as 6. Anything higher than level 6 or 7 is a legendary talent, a one in a million prodigy.

    Feeling bad or emotional problems - Play less or more?

    I can't deal with stress. I miss a lot of gaming sessions and therapy appointments because I just can. not. deal. with. people. right. now. I hate missing out on what are essentially my only social outlets, but there are days when even thinking about leaving the house makes me panic.

    Question on Augmented Summoning

    I'd rule it applies to anything that summons a creature.

    Beguiler Resources?

    Beguiler 2/Human Paragon 3/Mindbender 1/Ultimate Magus 7/Pathfinder Savant 7 against Pathfinder Witch (Hedge Witch) 20.

    Beguiler Resources?

    Well, it appears I am probably only going to take 2 levels in Beguiler anyway. Guess it doesn't matter much.

    Beguiler Resources?

    Is anyone aware of any material-- 3.5 books, Dragon magazine, anything-- that expands on the Beguiler class? I'm looking for ACFs to replace Trapfinding, Armored Casting, and possibly even Surprise Casting. So far, the only advice I've gotten is to consider Rogue ACFs for Trapfinding and the...

    Custom leveling system madness help?

    Mostly because it murders spellcasters. Nerf bats shouldn't draw blood.

    Custom leveling system madness help?

    Forcing multiclass characters to keep their levels within 1 is a pretty big nerf on its own without the Level Adjustment on top. Honestly, the d20 multiclassing system does not work for trying to recreate multiclass AD&D characters and it makes it very difficult to describe individual characters...

    Custom leveling system madness help?

    I actually do something kinda similar, for pretty much the same reason. Instead of messing around with different XP pools, all classes use the same XP tables and the number of classes you're advancing in determines which table you use. But I've been playing this game for ten years and I know...

    Ultimate Magic

    The existence of interplanetary teleport essentially retcons a range limitation into greater teleport. Quite honestly, I prefer it that way.

    Dragonborn/Draconic Feats, and a PRC

    Yeah, I think you're fine. I wouldn't change the DR formula once it was set, since it's already improving. What about bumping the natural armor bonus up to +3 and +5? The new Dragonspell looks fine to me.

    Ultimate Magic

    Makes sense, but it's been called to my attention that interplanetary teleport is still listed as a Witch spell in the Inner Sea World Guide. I don't have the book yet, but it suggests that the absence is a mere oversight.
