    Building a good wizard?

    Note that it gets worse than that because a) spells with costly material components add to the cost of the scroll b) you're ignoring the cost of writing the spell into the spellbook (or of a Blessed Book) which adds level cost 0 5 gp 1 10 gp 2 40 gp 3 90 gp 4 160 gp 5 250 gp 6 360 gp 7 490 gp 8...

    Building a good wizard?

    Universalist you're trading off a bonus spell per spell level for the chance to pick a spell from the 2 opposition schools. depending on the opposition schools it might be a pretty safe bet that it won't be likely that the big saver comes from the opposition schools.

    How to punish a metagamer?

    a) there's nothing about Pipes of the Sewers that makes them automatically a caster's item. b) how would you like it if it was your character who was mentally controlled and forced to give up his treasure? c) it doesn't take a great mind for a character to realize "The wizard was chanting and...

    Apart from Efreet what can be summoned by the Planar Binding spells that can cast wish?

    Learning More Spells for Sorcerer

    Yeah, the advanced players guide has a lot of different options for favoured class options. You can see them at Advanced Races (human is right down the bottom)

    Tank Inquisitor

    I confess that this is theorycraft, my next character is going to an inquisator but I haven't seen one in play yet, nor do I have a lot of experience with pathfinder. You've got to decide how you want to approach things. At 13th level you've got 5 judgements a day and 2 judgements at a time so...

    Pathfinder 1E First Pathfinder Character

    No, because you're missing important facts about the abilities you're looking at. Hail of arrows gives you 8-10 attacks in the round all at your top attack bonus. With a normal attack you might have +31/+31/+26/+21/+16 as opposed to +31/+31/+31/+31/+31/+31/+31/+31 for hail of arrows. Yes...

    Pathfinder 1E First Pathfinder Character

    Hail of arrows is a special case because of the number of attacks all at your top attack bonus. The general case is that you can spread attacks or concentrate attacks however you want. Hail of arrows imposes a restriction that you can't concentrate attacks because 8-10 attacks on one enemy...

    I'm not sure I buy the Fullblade

    I'd have thought there was an upper limit of once each.

    Can a DM expose a vampire character to sunlight with combat actions?

    What level have you been playing? Being disarmed is annoying but not crippling at low levels. Get to level 30 and you might have -12 to hit (6 magic weapon, 3 proficiency, 3 expertise) and lose the benefits of a lot of your feats and if removing a cloak from a vampire is easy how about a neck...

    Brainstorming Daze

    It'd be an absolute no brainer to do it every turn. It effectively turns stunned into daze + minor damage.

    Vampire in play

    picking up 1 out of 4 or 5 skills hardly gimps a character. where exactly does the fluff for the vampire say it has "a really, really good sense of smell"? Is the vampire being worse at history than the wizard really worse than the cleric being worse than the wizard at religion?

    Critique my Ranger

    while Thri-Kreen used to skin elves reskinning one as an elf is highly questionable.

    Critique my Ranger

    One issue you will have if you go two weapon is number of actions to change weapons. you need to be able to sheath your swords to use the bow and put away your bow to use the swords. It takes up a fair amount of your actions for a round to change weapons unless you just want to drop what you're...

    Character Builder AC Calculation error?

    But you'd end up with less differential between characters and it would require serious changes to the prereqs for feats, either you have the stats for something at first level or you never will... yeah, but everybody would be able to do it. You can get most of the way for what you're looking...

    Already bought, and returned, HoS

    Can you please put a link to the page that has it at The Book Depository? When I've looked there it's had an out of data listing for the softback version which isn't going to be available.

    D&D 4E 4e Fisticuffs?

    Sure they're less lethal than fights with weapons. That's different from being completely safe. You punch somebody in the stomach and you're not likely to kill them, you stab them and you are likely to kill them (although commonly from blood loss and it takes a while). I'd suspect that a...

    Help me build an 11th level ranger (please)

    Note that battlefield archer also gives other people a bonus to hit your quarry.
