I have some questions about people's answers. "Fire into melee" is vague. But since an area effect isn't something you're usually "firing," I took it to mean actual ranged attack rolls. Which come with a -4 penalty (or spend a feat) specifically to avert ANY chance AT ALL of hitting allies...

So, two things to take away from this thread: 1) As I've said before, ALWAYS play a martial rogue and swap that SA for feats. Nice, solid, tangible feats. Not some damage crutch that 1/3 of the monster manual is immune to and even when you can legally use it your DM is out to find "realistic"...

If a DM told me my sneak attacks didn't get to deal sneak attack damage because I neglected to declared I wanted to deal it before rolling the attacks, I'd punch him straight on in the throat. And then as he desperately gasped for air, clutching his windpipe, yell, "Sneak Attack! ...oh, wait...

Yup. And he can do an unarmed flurry and then follow it up with every natural attack as a secondary (-5 to hit or -2 w/ Multiattack, and 1/2 str to damage). On a pounce if he takes a form with it. Also keep in mind monk's speed increase applies to any movement mode, not just land, for when he...

What's DOT? MT doesn't advance sneak attack, but it lets you attack touch AC and...I think double your sneak attacks, though the palm throw thing may not work for that. Along with fun things like free trip attempt on every attack. Just get a ring of blinking, pummel their flatfooted touch AC...

No, it has to be hyper capable, nothing less. At least, it has to become hypercapable by high levels. If you're going to have a game where the casters can fly around, teleport, create planes of existence, raise undead armies, bring back the dead, etc... ...The guy whose class feature is to...

I think invisible blade is a terrible class and you'd be much better off just using Master Thrower, which is stronger and more fun. I say that as someone who made an IB, found it to miserably suck, then went into MT after that (w/o being able to retrain), and despite the delayed and not...

Just remembered that I didn't consider the 20th level capstones. I guess just let player choose one or the other. *shrug* Because the expert is a generic "great at X skills" class, while rogue actually has some flavor and fluff attached. Certain skills are just "rogue skills" and others are...

I'm playing in 3 games right now and DMing none, so I'll answer based on the game I enjoy the most (by a fair margin over the other 2). Ability scores generation method? - Point Buy. PF 25 points, which is ~ 32 point buy in 3E How are death and dying handled? - It's a gestalt party of 2...

Thanks. I was planning on such things for UMD. One to use rogue's int to set save DC. Another to use rogue level as the CL against any foe who is flanked or lost dex to AC. Maybe another to have UMD replicate some functions of Spellcraft. I don't know, IME as a high level rogue its awkward...

I don't think it's too much, nor will it negate other PCs. Take Perception. Any wis-based class w/ it as a class skill will likely be on par with the rogue or better, especially now that wis is established as a dump stat. Rogue's highest stats would be dex and int, and spellcraft and most...

I'm a big fan of grease.

Shocked Monk and Psion aren't getting more (undeserved) hate, based on the kinds of topics you tend to see on the forums... So anyway, I voted Fighter. Often the most beloved class on these forums. Over the years, as I've tried to balance the other non-casters, I've steadily grown to hate...

What exactly is "esoteric"? Additional limbs? Size increase? I'm sure Skilled evolution is fine, so you may want to soon get Skilled for perception and possibly Use Magic Device. In PF, racial bonuses stack, so your +2 perception for half-elf will still benefit you. I would switch Cha and...

Their saves are currently the worst in the entire game (reflex is considered the least important save). They get skill focus with a bunch of skills to make up for how badly the class skill changes burned them unintentionally. The initiative...do you want me to list off the class features of...

-Genocide is always evil. EXTREMELY evil. Regardless of your "reasons." - The fiends made it plain as day V wasn't under any sort of influence, even if that was a legitimate excuse. (And it's not, V CHOSE that influence, just as someone who drinks and drives chose to combine those two...

I originally had it as "pick cha or int" for the class features, but decided (ironically, given the Epic Skills thing) that made things needlessly complicated. I could just put that back in. I just think the cha-based rogue seems too disadvantaged. Why wisdom, though? Neither rogue nor ninja...

The size of the content =/= power of the content. They're a bunch of options, rogue will not have all of them, and they're daily use limited. It's almost like giving the rogue a spell list. The epic skills don't come into play until later, where I feel rogue gets especially mediocre, but if...

Sounds like the group could use an arcanist. If going sorcerer, I like Fey bloodline, and it gives entangle, which is nice at low levels if outdoors a lot. If going wizard, I'd get teleportation subschool Conjuror...it's just that damn good. I would not do ninja. It's the most MAD class in...

Reserved, in case the Epic Skills list becomes too massive for one post. :)
