Dropping a coup de grace on a sleeping party member is seriously not fun and definitely uncool. I would, however, suggest that resorting to magical mind control in order to resolve a loot dispute isn't exactly being a paragon of love, kindness and rainbows. Clearly the player was annoyed by...

The painful bitterness of the character would be really powerful from a roleplaying standpoint, at least for me: "Stop saying it makes sense! I'm not gay because it makes sense! If the Malice had never happened, I'd still be gay!" The delicious character possibilities would be enough to make...

All we have are names so far. Probably the one that is most intriguing to me (and, I suspect, has the most potential for controversy) is the urban barbarian...

Very well, if you prefer, let me put it this way: do you realize that this is the only character who can pin an opponent in one round before level 6? And the BBEG doesn't typically go down, in one attack or two, even at level one.

I think that's not quite what the ability is supposed to do (though I freely admit it's written completely terribly). If you look at the regular monk's flurry progression, the various "steps" of attacks are at level-2, level-5 and level-12 at levels 15 and above, and each extra attack appears...

The gunslinger does get the musket master (which, despite my joke, is probably the counterpart to the pistolero). But I'm curious about how the musketeer will play out as well. I can easily see the Musketeers (as in, the royal French military unit) being cavaliers in the sense of being members...

Multiclass monk/ninja characters use either Charisma or Wisdom to calculate their ki pools, chosen by the player at the point where they multiclass. (It's in the description of the ki pool.) Other ki abilities still use the separate stats for things like calculating save DCs (for stunning fist...

Find the first one here! Gun archetypes for cavaliers, fighters, paladins and wizards! (And maybe rangers? The trophy hunter seems like a safari type...) Monks that can take Greater Maneuver feats without the prereqs! A truly insane weapons list! Fighters that can punch you into next...

The vast majority of the ISWG is crunch-free. I'd say 85%-90% of it is useable for anyone who wants a sword & sorcery fantasy setting, regardless of system. That was a deliberate design choice, as I understand it, to make the book as useful as possible. (I know several gamers online who are...

NOBODY LIKES A TEASE. :p

Boring screen = less interest in reading, for certain. Honestly, more important than borders/no borders for me is portrait/landscape. While I realize that documents intended for print publication pretty much have to be portrait, I would really rather the PDFs be landscape for ease of reading...

If he's level 7 or better, I can't recommend blessing of fervor enough. The bonus to attack rolls will impact the gorillas' grapple checks and the dodge bonus will apply to their CMD, which will help keep the good guys in the grapple once grabbed. If they use the increased movement speed to...

The problem I'm having now is my brain trying to find a way to rebuild for a much more Dex-oriented character, since "skillful gypsy" and "guy encased in multiple layers of hammered steel' aren't working in my head very well. I'm not sure it's possible without completely annihilating your...

Given that you plan to be in melee (and there is certainly nothing wrong with that plan as a general rule) I would probably have gone with Con 13 and Int 10. That said, Desnan clerics often like more skill points than a typical cleric might (Perform, Survival, Perception - all skills Desna...

A "typical" cleric might have done so, but yeah, IronWolf's got it. If you want, you can raise your Con score by 1 at 4th level, which would retroactively give you +1 hp/level, but as it is, you can just plan to be relatively far from the action and buff your friends instead. There doesn't...

Just FYI, the adventure you're playing is a Paizo classic, and should be fun no matter what system you're in! 8 hp is indeed fairly low for most clerics - to a certain extent, that should encourage you to stay further away from the action, casting enhancement spells on your allies rather than...

It seems to me that the very premise of this thread in the first place - i.e., that Pathfinder is currently outselling D&D - raises some serious objections to that point of view. We know, for instance, that even as e-reader penetration has accelerated over the last two years (and the vast...

It's probably worth mentioning that the PF Player's Guide contains zero mentions of "wood elves." I didn't realize there was an intention to keep the Elfaivaran elves separate from Risuri elves until I saw a mention of it on the boards here. (Doing a PDF search on the word "elf" did turn up a...

I'm rather hoping not, not because *I* don't want to (I'm actually rather excited about getting to use the copy of Psionics Unleashed sitting on my bedside table at the moment) but because I know it's sufficiently controversial among the general Pathfinder-playing audience (as a leftover from...

Another question about classes - well, kinda, anyway. But I don't want to keep spamming the forum with threads, so I'll pretend like it is. I note in the Player's Guide a reference to psionic classes, and , and I found myself wondering what the angle the Pathfinder rules will take on psionics...
