The thread to which you were referring specifically permits 10 min/level precast buffs. I wasn't addressing them as a result. This is an in-combat casting argument only. You can, but I'm not big on sacrificing the magus' precious spell slots for something he's getting for free, and all I...

The logic behind the restriction against using non-self-only buffs (in the case of clerics - I don't even know where bards would come into this) is that, if your options are a) apply a bunch of buffs to yourself to make yourself equal to the fighter or b) apply a bunch of buffs to the fighter...

With only Souls for Smuggler's Shiv to look at so far, I can't speak to the whole AP, but I have to agree that it looks like a ton of fun. I also think it will be challenging for a new GM, though. SfSS is a fairly open, sandbox-y style adventure, with a lot of decision-making in the players'...

James Jacobs mentioned not too long ago on the Paizo boards that the reaction to the APG has made them reconsider their no-more-base-classes stance. They weren't changing their minds necessarily, but it was back on the table again. Honestly, I'm just fine with additional archetypes rather...

Plans, yes... but not hard and fast ones. Paizo has said on several occasions that they are interested in a Pathfinder psionics book at some point, but it's not likely to look much like the 3.5 psionics stuff (it will probably Vancian, for example), and they're still just kicking ideas around...

Word is, the words of power system will be a Vancian variant, so any spellcasting class from the core PF rules will be able to use it. So far, though, we've had very few hints as to what is involved with it, so there's not much more info available yet.

So, then you could ready a free action to grow the claws with the trigger, "when someone would provoke an AoO from me if I were armed," and then grow the claws and take the AoO, couldn't you?

In the whole book, the only thing I use is the swashbuckler.

On a recent thread over on the Paizo forums, James Jacobs said something to the effect of, "through the summoner, you can make nearly any of the monsters from the Bestiary once you get high enough level." I'm hoping that Ultimate Magic brings enough additional evolutions to actually make that...

You only have to spend the feat if you want to be able to wield it one-handed. Most traditional kenjutsu is indeed two-handed style, which is covered under a generic martial proficiency. You might have to house-rule that Weapon Focus and its follow-on feats don't specifically require the EWP...

Isn't there a monstrously large cannon that doesn't fire anymore just outside Cassomir? And isn't a couple thousand years old?

This is something I've noticed about a lot of Pathfinder critics (which doesn't include you, Jhaelen, for the record - you just made me think of this); because a number of the differences between 3.5 and Pathfinder are minor, and seemingly inconsequential at first glance, they claim that...

While this post was made some time back, I wanted to hop back to it because it's actually a good example of how the caster/noncaster balance has shifted with Pathfinder. While destruction is a save-or-die in 3.5, it's a save-or-take-lots-of-damage spell in Pathfinder. A 15th level cleric deals...

Since Ultimate magic is going to include a variant magic system, some variant combat systems don't really seem out of the realm of possibility - the Ultimate books are apparently going to be about not-small tweaks to the system, at least in part. Given the "words of power" spellcasting that...

Honestly, this far out, I'm not even sure that Paizo has much information on exactly what will be in it. It might be something like ToB, but I really think I'd be doing you a disservice if I encouraged that kind of hope. I know, for instance, that James Jacobs has never read ToB (he's said as...

Yeah, saw that online myself over the weekend. I will be watching for an official statement directly from a Paizo bigwig (they're all at GenCon or recovering from same, and thus far all reports have been second- or third-hand), but if needed, I will be changing them in an errata to be released...

I put them into the first pregens I did, but this was something of a rush job, thanks to the time limitations of GenCon and so on. (I've also noticed a couple typos that need fixing as well.) I'll probably get a corrected and bookmarked version up in a few weeks. A pregen with the archetype...

This. Would have posted sooner, but the website kinda disappeared. ;)

Update: they aren't *quite* done yet, and my own GenCon preparations are making it harder for me to get them finished. Nevertheless, I am going to try to get them wrapped up by the end of the weekend. Wish me luck!

By Friday I should have a complete set of pregens for the new base classes - at least one for every race and class - available for distribution. I'll post again when they are ready, if it would help.
