You have somewhat jumped to my next question. The aura says any hostile creature. Does that mean it also affects allies? They are hostile, just not to the archon. Based on the assumed setup (assumed because the DM posted a picture on his Facebook page for everyone to see) I could drop the...

Our next session will start with a battle against zombies and so I'm trying to find different ways of fighting them after my PC's eidolon is destroyed and I'm thinking of some hound archons. So that leads me to wonder if the Aura of Menace counts as a mind affecting effect. "Aura of Menace...

1) What have you personally found to be most broken in Pathfinder? 2) What have you personally found requires the most system knowledge to take advantage of in Pathfinder? Well, my answer to number 1 is probably going to change from campaign to campaign or game to game. I'd say our wizard's...

I wanted to see that episode but forgot. One thing the Browncoats Unite special reminded me of, the Firefly universe was capable of some dark crap.

For me it would be Seaside. I'll point out I haven't played all the expansions at this point. What are there 7 now? Seaside has the cool orange card mechanic of keeping a card around for a second turn. Plus some other things not in the original game, like setting cards aside for later. It...

Consider this. The link between an eidolon and summoner means that an eidolon can touch those protected by spells such as Protection from Evil/Law/etc. Also, when an eidolon is knocked to negative hit points it doesn't automatically vanish back to it's other-dimensional home, it stays until it...

Our Saturday game died recently and had started with 7 players. That was too much for me during character creation because I couldn't hear everything. After a month or two it dropped to 6 players and that was better. As others have said it means if one or two people can't make it we can...

I'm not familiar with the half ogre, at least a Pathfinder version. Where are the stats from? Just this Wednesday I thought my sorcerer was going to die so I started looking at making a two-handed weapon fighter. But I'm stuck using just the core rules, so other than Power Attack, Cleave, and...

A game I was in died a couple weeks ago. A loud mouthed jerk, LMJ, is the culprit. He was vouched for by one person and we figured their judgment was good enough. We had met the jerk for a character creation session before we started playing so he hadn't earned the jerk title yet. Initially...

There is a Meta thread for stuff like this, but I haven't looked for it since the forum branches changed a couple weeks ago. From the Bay Area in California, I'm not noticing anything being slow here in the last few days.

This game has shown up at our game night a few times in the past couple weeks, but hasn't hit the table. I suspect that being due to it being a two player game. But thanks for the info Merric. I have played Android once and it was a little confusing on how best to win, but this card game...

An example of when fudging works. The Pathfinder sandbox campaign I play in uses Paizo's crit cards. Rarely, the crit as described on the card doesn't fit the situation. When that happened, we picked another card and used the more appropriate result. Now, I suppose someone could ask, is...

Some thoughts. I was recently looking at the Advances Races stuff in the updated PRD and I could have sworn I've seen a magic item that stabilizes characters. So compare that item to your players idea. Crafting a wand of 1st level CLW would cost 375 gold. 750 is the purchase price. I...

You could go the Dark Sun route and draw power from the elements.

Our DM used it tonight after we defeated the gangbang of harpies. First he mentioned we found a magic weapon and then said his roll indicated a minor specific item. So flipping some pages he finally determined it was a rapier. Then he rolled 00 to determine what it was. Being grognardy...

Yeah, games that don't award xp or you are told "everyone gains a level" of course aren't going to have this happen. But you know what? I like getting xp. In a game like DnD, it is one of the things I look forward to. Sure, gold and magic items and boons and hanging out with friends is great...

I'm not sure about the time frame, but a Persian mythological monster/bird was the Simurgh. Another mythological Persian bird is the boubak, but good luck finding references to that. It could be mistranslated or a ground squirrel type critter.

If I could actually find any of my old "dungeons" back from the good old days, I'm not sure they'd be worth publishing. I know others might think differently, but based on the vague memories I have, I'd say the only interesting thing about my old graph paper dungeons are the number of walls...

An extra god for 50?! That's a bargain!

It happened a few sessions ago in our Carrion Crown game. The cleric needed 150 xp to level up. He ended up getting it for a "talk to the hand" moment with another player. And it happened in our sandbox game as well, though it was more like 200. I'm not sure this is exactly the same as the...
