    Dragonborn/Draconic Feats, and a PRC

    Ah, right, that. Yeah, I think Breath Channeling is fine.

    Dragonborn/Draconic Feats, and a PRC

    Give him some DR. Say, X/- and 2X/magic, make X = 1/4 HD or 1/5 HD+1. Fatigue and Nausea aren't that common, but when they come into play they're really useful. A Dragonfire Adept at that level is doing 7d6 every round. Yours sounds fine to me. Sure. Just the powers. Feats and spells come...

    Age again rears its ugly head

    I don't think most people are capable of making it past fifth or sixth level no matter how long they live. That's why ancient high-level elves and dwarves don't overrun the world. A 1st level Commoner with Skill Focus is a highly trained professional. A 3rd level Warrior is a hardened veteran...

    Ultimate Magic

    Pretty big chunk of it is up over at PFSRD and I've been looking through it to wile away the time until I can obtain my own. Magus class, some kind of Gish-in-a-can that I don't care about. Bunch of new options for the other casters. New archetypes for everybody. New discoveries for...

    Dragonborn/Draconic Feats, and a PRC

    Yeah. If you use Dragonheart Mage, I'd suggest going the Dragon Disciple route and having class levels stack with Sorcerer level for Draconic bloodline ability. That way, you're effectively trading caster levels for a greatly improved breath weapon. You know, Dragonfire Adepts get X/magic DR...

    Why EXP penalty for Multiclassing anyway?

    You can reconstruct the old multiclassing rules by using a combination of the Gestalt rules and Pathfinder's alternate XP tables. Even makes Level Adjustment more bearable.

    Dragonborn/Draconic Feats, and a PRC

    Ah, right. It had slipped my mind. Really, if you want a full caster version of Dragon Disciple, your best bet is to just stick to Sorcerer. There's the Dragonheart Mage in Races of the Dragon and the Pact-Bound Adept in Dragon Magic that focus on draconic feats and dragonpacts, respectively...

    Dragonborn/Draconic Feats, and a PRC

    No, I saw what you meant. Base 1 round of delay to be modified by the feats. It's the feats that I think are broken. I don't think they should be allowed. And if they are allowed, you can't use the feats to delay your breath for more rounds than your Constitution bonus. Yeah, that would work...

    Dragonborn/Draconic Feats, and a PRC

    Thank you for this. I've been working on something similar myself. The Draconic Arcanamach gives the Sorcerer considerable benefits-- extra spells, bonus feats, dragonpacts-- without costing him anything. Compare it to the Wyrm Wizard in Dragon Magic. You need to give up at least three caster...

    Dragonborn/Draconic Feats, and a PRC

    Too much. In general, any of the feats that are based on spell level should only be based on spell level. This is a good change. I may steal it. Too much. Compare this to Bardic Knowledge. As written originally, this feat makes each draconic feat you take equivalent to two levels of Bardic...

    Trolls, trolls and more trolls

    Had a character that used to use them as siege weaponry. He'd get a couple overlapping blade barrier spells in the catapult's line of fire, and then launch the trolls through them, one at a time, into the city. Finally had the DM tell me I wasn't allowed to destroy his campaign settings any more.

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinderize the Warforged

    I'd give them +2 Con, +2 Int, -2 Cha and drop light fortification, but otherwise I would use them entirely as-is.

    Trolls, trolls and more trolls

    By RAW, a vorpal sword deals normal damage to a Troll and beheads it, but doesn't kill it. The Troll grows a new head in 3d6 minutes. There are no official rules for being headless, but I would probably rule that the Troll is unconscious until the head grows back. Why Trolls retain their...

    Hit Point Ceiling

    Instead of fixing hit points, why not change the Massive Damage rules? Injury and Death :: d20srd.org Massive Damage Threshold and Results :: d20srd.org I use a combination of variants. Your Massive Damage Threshold equals your Constitution plus your Hit Dice, the Save DC is 15 + 1/10...

    Hit Point Ceiling

    Such a change wouldn't make fighters play smarter. It would make people stop playing fighters.

    Adding Spells to Your Class Spell List

    How is this accomplished? This is trivially easy for psionic characters. I know about Rainbow Servant for Cleric spells and Arcane Disciple for Domain spells, but those are problematic. I'm mostly looking for ways to get healing and restoration spells for arcane casters, beyond what the Bard...

    Skynet is alive!

    Damn, I missed it. We threw a hell of a party in 1998.

    Your first aid skills?

    I've taken first aid classes maybe half a dozen times for one reason or another. I can perform CPR, for all the good it's likely to do. I've only had to do it once, and the person died anyway; I've been told that's just how it goes.

    Any Spelljammers out there?

    Spelljammer's my favorite campaign setting. I'm actually just about to start a new SJ campaign as soon as my Shroompunk game wraps up. Nine years? That's got to be some kind of record.

    Castles are worthless against armies with mages?

    I'm not talking about civilians. I am talking about the military forces that oppose them. And that's exactly my point. Castles exist because the people who build them don't have to worry about these things on a regular basis; they are not a part of the resources of the forces that typically...
