Wait...does this also mean that different classes advance at different rates? ... >_> <_< Thief it is!

I am reminded of the olden days on the GameFAQs RI board, with all it's duels and what-not. If only that was how we accrued XP around here. :)

While I won't disagree with you that you can nearly completely circumvent the difficulty of adventures with a non-standard adventuring party, and I don't disagree that decision to not build "stickiness" into the fighter, and increased damage output into the rogue are strange decisions, the...

Yeah, I gotta say - it's a Facebook game. We're not talking about a D&D video game here. We're talking about a low-to-no system requirements, web-based, social game app. It's a good Facebook game. A really good Facebook game in fact. Before HoN, I was playing a lot of Dragon Age on...

For the most part, my games are about getting together and having fun. And for us, "fun" means Monty Python jokes, pizza, beer, catching up on movies we've seen since the last time we met, discussing how annoying a previous NPC villain was, and then rolling dice and killing bad guys. Our...

For my monthly Friday night group, the host will order a couple pizzas about 1/2 hour before everyone shows up (6:30pm-ish), and then everyone pays a couple bucks when they arrive to eat. Often, someone will bring along some chips and dip (my wife makes an AWESOME Buffalo chicken dip that's...

Yup. Read it in high school, and again a couple years ago. It's very good. Also, I settled on Rendezvous with Rama, mostly because the library had it in stock, but also because it's only ~200 pages, I figured I could read it quickly, and I'm expecting to be getting a couple books I...

Sounds promising, sadly my library doesn't have them on hand. I can get them through the network, but that doesn't help me tonight. =/ Count me among the group of fantasy readers that was thoroughly unimpressed by Name of the Wind when I read it. Well, that's not fair - the construction of...

Unfortunately, I can't stand D&D fiction. I can't abstract the mechanics from the fiction. Empire of the East sounds interesting. Chanur Saga looks...pulpy. I have a hard time getting excited for that kind of thing. McCaffrey might be worth looking into. The Lensmen series suffers from the...

I'm going to the library tonight to get a new library card, and since I'm plum out of books to read that I own, I'm going to be bringing something home with me. Here's my personal literary "likes", in no particular order: Fantasy sagas (WoT, SoIaF) Zombie fiction Short story anthologies...

I've always been fascinated by the historical context for our "Best Man" and "Maid-of-Honor." Historically, the Best Man was literally the best swordsman you knew. It was his job to fend off guys who decided your wedding day was a good day to attack you while your back was turned and you were...

Because I've run FAR more games than I've played in, I'm going to have to go with my very first character - Stumblewyk Telemin, Gnome Cleric/Illusionist. Stumblewyk came to life during the 2e days, when I was first taught how to play the game by a couple high school friends. He...

My DM is pretty open to sources, it just has to be PF. So, no D&D 3.5 stuff, 3rd party material, etc. That being said, turns out the 1st game session got moved up, and my character which I thought would be "due" next weekend, now needs to be ready by Friday. As such, I've started tinkering...

Sorry, I should have been clearer in my OP. I didn't mean to imply that I was looking a multiclass combo of Fighter, Barbarian, and/or Paladin. (And I guess I *should* have included Cavalier in there as well.) I just meant that I was looking at those classes to build my meat-shield character...

So, my group is starting up a new game, and the DM is going to be running the Serpent's Skull AP. The group contains a number of RPG newbies who have their hearts set on playing specific classes, and then myself and one other guy with a lot of RPG/Pathfinder experience. It's going to be a very...

Maybe I'm odd in my interpretation of paladins, but I don't think there's anything forcing the paladin to be an idiot and walk up to his captor and demand his stuff back. The paladin in question can't live to fight evil and injustice if he dies escaping. There's nothing wrong with him sneaking...

I had an old 2e swashbuckler fighter who was very much in the "Three Musketeers" mold - leaping off of anything he could find, swinging on whatever was available. To the point that he would shout things like "Another amazing feat of daring-do by Martin Tremblay!" as he performed said actions...

Just finished Handling the Undead. I honestly liked it a lot - it was much deeper than just "Oh crap! Zombies!" and actually not-so-bluntly addressed how we handle our deceased from a psychological, social, and physical point of view, not to mention challenging society's perception of Death as...

A beta key I, would kindly request good sir. Care to share with me?

I think that's called "kidnapping." At the very least, it's taking a hostage.
