Plus, just because you are evil does not mean that the paladin has a "I can smite you" card. They have to have a legal, valid reason to actually do something about it. If you are exceedingly evil, then maybe a paladin would be hell-bent on your destruction, but that won't be for quite a few...

As the way Ultimate Magic is written, a spellblight effect resulting from an antimagic field is valid. I am aware of bestow curse, I read the rules. Dweomersink is a type of antimagic field. Putting a timeframe on the minor spellblight does lessen the blow - it isn't permanent and it can be...

So a DM I used to play under ran into a problem - one of his player's talked him into allowing him to play some options out of Complete Arcane from 3.0 in his Pathfinder Campaign. Obviously, issues have arisen, but the DM is the kind who will say "Yes, but anything [broken] you create can and...

Gonna have to look through this... The nice thing about Liber Mechanika is that the alternative craft system for mechanikal items actually holds up with no changes - then again, equipment is one of the things that can be used as-is between 3.5/d20 and Pathfinder with few issues. I can see...

Ow...that burnt my retinas. Without going into too much color theory, the blinding white and high contrast are great for smaller screens (tablets, phones) cheap screens with a poor backlight, and some folk with really bad eyesight; yet it is lousy for really nice larger screens like what I...

Alchemist is best for the concept, although a Sorcerer with the Abyssal bloodline and some good roleplaying could work, too.

Nothing wrong with hybridising... One thing I will note - Pathfinder, as a system, doesn't solve all your concerns. However, the APs can and do help with what isn't addressed with the system in and of itself. While the APs don't necessarally work well with my style of DMing, they are easy to...

Well, more power to you. I suppose the thing that gets me about psionics (including Dreamscarred Press psionics) is that it is practically it's own campaign setting and feels awkward when paired with the standard core stuff. Don't get me wrong - Psionics Unleashed is a decent book (well, the...

Considering all the logical inconsistancies, utter nonsense, and stupid freakishly improbable things I run across in my average day - real life is even more inconsistant than any campaign setting I've read. We live in a world of plot holes and spelling errors. The greatest logical fallacy in...

Yeeaah....I probably would have just kicked him from the game right then and there. Or invoked Rule Zero from the get-go, no matter how high he rolled. He shouldn't know the stats of the NPC.

That can of worms again... The difference between science fiction and fantasy is thinly veiled, usually with a bit of technobable and a ray gun instead of a magic wand. Unless you're talking about "true" science fiction, which is designed to explore the possibilities of human nature, usually...

EDIT: Accidental double-post. On a side note, anyone else getting serious lag on the site?

Plus there is always a certain amount of bull in the fine arts - I know, I have a degree in it. As any literary major knows, meaning is use. Use can change meaning, except in a certifiably dead language such as Latin (which was killed, with the candel stick, in the billiard room; possibly by a...

That definition seems like an oversimplification. As starting point, certainly, it's great - but by that definition alone means Looney Tunes is technically high fantasy. It needs epic epicness, and part of that is being able to take itself seriously.

I've noticed that we roleplayers here on the forums often equate High Fantasy with High Magic. But the pattern of how high fantasy works, especially as established by Tolkien (as Tolkien pretty much defines what modern High Fantasy is) works contrary to that. High Fantasy fiction is largely a...

Goblins have social issues on top of mechanical ones. Most settings have them listed as "kill on site" (not all, but Iron Kingdom's has their own stats for gobbers that would need to be adjusted for Pathfinder). Dealing with that should be punishment enough for playing a goblin.

I think the best way I can describe the Pathfinder changes is that it brought 3.5 core up to the power level of the late 3.5 power baseline and variety. And while Stormonu wouldn't recommend Book of Nine Swords, the martial system actually works fine with Pathfinder. Other than skills, I think...

Golaron...is Paizo looking at what Forgotten Realms did both right and wrong, and learning from it. It is a modular, plug-and-play world that serves as a backdrop for Pathfinder - both designed to be easily raided for homebrew (or even other published settings) and being the setting of choice...

Well, I'd like to thank those who've posted. It's been very informative.

Okay, new question... Would you say Nettier Vale and the whole Points of Light thing for 4e is reminiscent of 1e Forgotten Realms?
