    [closed]Searching for players in a 3.5 houserules playtest[closed]

    Walking Dad: It looks like you have room for one more, but I have run this adventure (started my current campaign with it, actually). If you'll trust me not to cheat, I'd be interested. I'd be up for paladin, battle sorcerer or ranger.

    Jedis Deflecting Blaster Bolts

    Yeah, well. Living on Tatooine can really age a guy. It's all the sun and dry wind. ;)

    Intimidate in combat

    If you compare it to the Feint use of Bluff, then Amaril's mention of the Intimidating Strike feat is comparable to Improved Feint, right? Normally a feint is a Standard action, just like an Intimidate check, but with the feat it becomes a Move action. Seems like a reasonable parallel.

    Need some pirate minis cheap

    Sounds good. I'm off to Target some time this week.

    Need some pirate minis cheap

    Great suggestions, thanks. SavageRobby, some of those minis should work out very well. This is a pseudo-historical/Pirates of the Caribbean thing, so no mind flayers (though my zombie minis will get a workout). :) @Orgrork: The web site says "no international orders". He doesn't say...

    Jedis Deflecting Blaster Bolts

    You could say the first time this is done is during Luke's early training on the Millenium Falcon. It's only a training drone, but still, he deflects energy bolts. So it seems to be an amateur trick. :)

    Need some pirate minis cheap

    Those look pretty cool, but sadly I have neither the time nor the talent to paint my own minis. Especially for a game I'm only going to run once. 24 minis for $25.00 is a pretty good deal, though, if you do enjoy the painting. @Festivus: I'll check out Auggie's. I've heard good things about...

    Need some pirate minis cheap

    Excellent. You guys rock. The only way I could get them cheaper is to go raid SavageRobby's collection. :) EDIT: Those cloudreavers will be perfect for generic pirates. I still need minis for the PCs, though if anybody has any other idea.

    Need some pirate minis cheap

    Ok, I know this is going to be a tall order, but maybe somebody can give me a suggestion. I am planning to run a pirate one-shot game and I'd like to have some minis. But as this is a one-shot I don't want to spend much money, and I definitely don't want to paint anything (I told you it was a...

    Is there a word for this?

    It sounds like a concept related to the meme

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Alpha "crunch" discussion

    Actually it says you can choose to include yourself or not in the effect. That won't help if you have a whole team of evil clerics though.

    Raise Dead: A nice big bone to the simulationists

    I was about to reply in detail, but Hellcow beat me to it and (naturally) did a better job. I will mention one thing, though. My take on this change is not that random peasants will be mad/depressed/outraged that they have no "special destiny." It's that most people would never even...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Alpha "crunch" discussion

    Yes, but you use the same new stat for all the weird combat maneuvers (grapple, trip, bull rush, etc.). So you get a lot of mileage out of it, and when your player unexpectedly says "I'll bull-rush the troll into the lava" you can tell him exactly why he failed. :) My problem with the new...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Alpha "crunch" discussion

    My take on your questions: cantrips/orisons: The "spells per day" for 0-level is how many you can prepare. Then you can use any of your prepared cantrips as Spell-Like abilities at will with no limit. For this reason, they removed Cure Minor Wounds from the cleric spell list. skills...

    Fair 1st level Spell?

    That 1st-level version is my new favorite spell for a sorcerer/rogue. If I understand Sneak Attack correctly, this would allow you to add ranged, nonlethal SA dice if you catch somebody flat-footed. Even if you don't catch them by surprise, you can cast it twice. First one does a bit of...

    Fair 1st level Spell?

    D'oh! My bad. Even so, I think a 1-round stun is more appropriate.

    Fair 1st level Spell?

    This would be best used to stun an opponent and let an ally do a CDG, so I think Hold Person is the spell to compare it to (the damage is pretty trivial). It doesn't seem quite as strong as that spell. As it is, I'd say a bit too strong. But if you took the duration down to 1 round I think it...

    When do Bards get new spells?

    I don't know the details of Lyric Spell, but here's my take on it: The SRD says that you gain the spells known only if you get a bonus spell of that level. So I would say Lyric Spell does not let you know or cast a spell of that level, because you don't have the stat. Also by the RAW, I'd say...

    Yeah. Consider it a 4E preview. :)

    Imperial Age Omnibus?

    I did go ahead and get a bunch of Imperial Age stuff during the big sale, and it all looks great. I'm going to use Imperial Magick for a Piratin' one-shot I'm doing soon. I would gleefully pay for the material again (since I got it so cheap the first time) if it was all together in a single...
