There are no blast that can affect every monster every level. Whatever you choose, you will not be able to use them against some of your enemies, in this AP, or any other. However: I'm not sure if the following AP are going to follow that route, but it seems to be quite flame-themed. Not...

Prose for fluff, concise words for crunch.

It *can* be used as Fate. But it is not normal. Hence the "connotation". The definition is "Fate. Especially a tragic or ruinous one". You can use it for other kinds of fate, but it is not normal. The normal use is for tragic or ruinous fate.

No, I got it on Paizo. About the sorcerer versatility, if you are arcane, and human (using APG extra spell per level as favored class), you have more than enough spells per level

I'm a long term sorcerer fan as you can see here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/pathfinder-rpg-discussion/321213-guide-sorcerers.html That said, there are good RP situations for both Wizards and Sorcerers. If you go with the Sorcerer route, Blasting is great, there are good fights. Just...

Got the third part of the AP yesterday. Have skimmed through it and read a few bits. You have done an *AMAZING* job. This AP is going to be legendary in our group.

That's because it *has* a negative connotation. doom - definition of doom by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia. "doom n doom [duːm] fate, especially something terrible and final which is about to happen (to one) v to condemn; to make certain to come to harm, fail etc"...

Who said feats are now non-optionals. Themes have feat, but that does not mean Themes are non-optionals. If you don't like feats, don't use themes.

To be honest, I think most things I liked about 3rd edition were Jonathan Tweet's ideas. I liked a lot of things Tweet did before, and a lot of things he did after. Monte... not so much. I'd be worried if Robert J. Schwalb leaves the project. Other than that, I couldn't care less.

First, you have a poor definition of balance. "doing everything as well as the others" is not balance, is homogenity. And classes do not need to be homogeneus. Now, to answer your question: Because players shouldn't be punished for the trope they like or the kind of hero they want to represent...

I'm not really convinced. Those abilities aren't spells (and certainly not vancian spells). I don't see how a Paladin can say "i can't smite that demon once again today, my faith/self confidence in my god/virtue isn't strong enough. I can heal you laying my hands on you, though. I haven't tapped...

You don't need to convince me, I also think that way. But my point stands valid: Paizo does not have such constraints. Whatever is the reason people roar about fluff decisions in WotC, it's not true about Paizo. WotC is quite hesitant to put fluff on basic core mechanics. If they call the...

But not in the basic Core rulebook. When 4e was being playtested, WotC used a name for one of the wizards types of implement users was named and people roared about it.

Doesn't this work as well for 3.X style of resources? I mean, a Paladin might be too tired to smite evil again, but can lay on hands. A Monk might find a new opening for his stuning fist, but he is just out of stunning fist charges. I also like Iron Heroes approach or ToB/Bo9S approach. But I...

Pathfinder is free to add orders because they have their own world. D&D isn't free, because people will cry if WotC add fluff to their classes. If Mearls makes a "paladin of the order of the white rose" people will lynch him because there are no such order in "their" Forgotten, or Greyhawk or...

Because making each class have their own spendable resources with their own recharge mechanic allow for greater variety. Samurais can spend "resolve" for completelly different things than Ninjas can spend "ki". And it's perfectly possible give each mechanic a different recharge system. For...

Fine for me. It seems to be the 5e goal too

I also think Paladinhood should be severed from Priesthood. Paladins are not the defenders of a god's faith. That's what Clerics (with the proper melee theme) are. Paladins are the epitome of knighthood, of the cavalier. Lancelot is a paladin, and he is not the defender of god (Galahad might be...

Quite interesting. It produces a particular enviroment, with its own implications. I'm not sure if the cumulative penalties for attacks are for different attackers, or different attacks. If it is the former, as I said, it makes fighting a 12 headed hydra "easier" than fighting 12 goblins...

Me too. But as they are reserving Vancian for wizards and clerics, there's a good chance that rangers and Palas have a different stuff
