If he's playing a standard core rules fighter, focusing on the bow, you may wish to suggest he lobby the GM to let him rebuild with the Archer Variant from the APG. Of course, it is an archetype rather than a prestige class. One of the players in my last campaign had a cohort Archer who...

There is more than one desert region, though I don't really think any of them mimic Dark Sun. They tend to be closer to Egypt in flavour (Osirian), or arabian nights style fantasy (Katapesh, Qadira and the Empire of Kelesh, etc). If you liked Al-Qadim, you might like like the Legacy of Fire...

I would second Crothian's note. In Kingmaker, your characters are exploring and settling a very large area. The 'dungeons' such as they are, are fairly small, and you will otherwise be having outdoor encounters, or random encounters. Because the encounters are built with the standard...

I've been thinking about this one. In Eberron, the Artificer class had a Craft Reserve; a 'buffer' of experience at every level which could be used for crafting. They also gained the ability to drain magic items over time in order to recharge this ability. Since experience is no longer used...

Wasn't there a psionic feat that gave you extra hit points every time you took another psionic feat? I don't think this is necessarily a bad idea. As you point out, it wouldn't stack with anything else grants an inherent bonus, and would still top out at +5. This might be something I would...

Pumpkin, for a more complete discussion on what a familiar does or does not gain, please reference your previous thread on this subject, with the same participants. Here For the breath weapon, this is up to a bit of interpretation. As the breath weapon descriptor notes, the DC is 1/2 the...

Perhaps just a partially depleted cure light wounds wand? 25 charges instead of 50.

It looks like Kaisoku is correct. Weapons with the Trip or Disarm qualities get to add extra bonuses to CMB for that purpose. There is an excellent bit in the FAQ where Sean K Reynolds mentions this. It even looks like that entry dates from this month, though the last update for the FAQ is...

Not always the case. Some designate that they are a standard action (bull rush, grapple, overrun, dirty trick, drag, reposition or steal) or part of a charge (bull rush and overrun). The examples you gave (disarm and trip) can replace any attack, including iterative attacks, and attacks of...

Yay for thread necromancy

CL of the creator does not have to match CL of the item, so this would need to be a house rule as well.

Weak connection to the plane of water, or strong connection to the plane of fire...or both. You can even use that as the explanation for why deserts exist.

Fair enough, James. I've been enjoying reading some of the older material lately, so that example was fresh in my mind I've seen you mention in other threads (specifically this one)that your knowledge of Golarion is not encyclopedic, and that published material would trump a forum post by the...

Ah, so you're not referencing the older epic rules. Fair enough. Class progression is going to break down after level 20 then, as those guidelines are not robust rules, as the core book itself says. The wizard and sorcerer will mostly just be advancing caster level, spell slots etc, and it is...

I'm not sure what you're asking here. The class tops out at 20th level, because Pathfinder does not have any epic rules for PCs as of yet. Granted, you can adapt the 3.0 or 3.5 epic rules, but you would need to do that for any of the Pathfinder classes.

If you want thirst to be a factor, then bump it up to a first level spell or otherwise impede it (maybe they're in a desert and the connection to the elemental plane of water is weak). Just let your players know.

Certainly true. I don't mind there being a certain amount of variance. For example (spoilers for Kingmaker 2)

Right. With Greater Grapple, you can roll to maintain the grapple, and then do two things that you could normally do to a grappled opponent. For example, you could move them and pin them, or then pin them and damage them, or move twice, or damage twice, etc.

Not sure which Eberron book Shocking Fist is in. If you want to note that in your reply, I'd be happy to check it out. That said: When using a maintained grapple to deal damage, you can use your unarmed strike, a natural attack, an attack made with armour spikes, or an attack made with a...

Warforged are not open content, so only WotC can publish an official version of them. You won't see a standard/official Pathfinder version. As far as conversion goes, the race was pretty powerful for an ECL0 race in 3.5, so can probably be used for Pathfinder as-is. While skimming them...
