Well, if we are being nitpicky, 4.5 is the average of 2d4... Putting that aside, yes, doing your second attack usually has a greater damage output than Vital Striking. The idea is that you are not allways able to perform the full attack, because you have to move. On those circunstances, you can...

This. Also, consider the Vital Strike Feat-Chain. Use the move action to get into flanking position and then unleash a brutal 4d4+ALOTOFDMGLOL 20x4 attack. If you claim to have problems hiting your enemies, then it won't be worth to try to get decent iterative attacks. A couple multiclass...

It would appear to me that they are going the other way around. I mean, that the raise dead spells are in by default and then you have a "deadly" module that removes them, makes them higher level, makes them really expensive, etc... Probably the default will be something similar to 4e/3.5e...

On Paizo's site the release date is July 2012, but on their product catalog it says April (so does Amazon.com)... So... what's the release date? What can we expect from it? I read the playtest, and that was cool, does anyone else have other info on the book? Thanks a lot!

Go with this. This is what my group uses too, and is by far the fairest aproach

After running and playing a couple pathfinder campaigns, I've come up with the following house rules: - The damage of all bows gets increased to the following dice: Short bows deal 1d8, longbows 1d10. - A new Martial Crossbow exists as an analogue to the bow. The Great Crossbow is 1d8, costs...

The proper answer to this question, I think, is the Pathfinder approach with the Advanced Player's Guide and, presumable, Advanced Race Guide. You get a default number of options which correspond to the "typical" member of the race. THEN, if you want to play a member of a different culture...

Haters gonna Hate. I, for once, would like to see the game as multi-plataform title. That way, more people will be able to enjoy this masterpiece

How about this. 4 Pcs are pitted off against a Glass Golem. The golem is a CR 5 Creature. It has a strong melee attack, a bit more HP than regular monsters of its level and poor saves. BUT (That's a big but) it’s key defining features are that it is immune to magic, has DR 5/adamantite or...

I think there are more ways of making race matter apart from marrying it to a class. Paizo did something similar to what you propose with different favored class options depending on the race/class combo. If we they to make race matter, and think they should, races should have they own...

Reincarnate is a level 4 spell, so a Druid 7 can use it. Plus, it is much less expensive (3.000 Gp for the spell and the restorations to remove the negative levels vs 7.000 Gp por raise dead and the restorations)... In some ways, it can be said that Reincarnate is one of the more dangerous...

Reincarnate is a very tricky spell. It puts players on a hit-or-miss situation... At level 4 your character is severely neutered by the random roll... I would suggest letting him reroll

I like my dragons like I like my city guards, with an arrow in the knee. In all seriousness, the Shouts system really did sounded like the kind of magic a dragon would do. I specially like the description that two dragons breathing fire on each other are actually having an argument on their...

I like to make up traits (the name and the fluff) and then asign them a mechanic that some trait already has. For example, I made a particulary cruel character that is always looking for a fight, so he has this trait: No Mercy You are always looking for your next victim +2 Initiative He is...

THIS! This is good design. It's even close to what Wizards is doing. Class Race Theme It would be cool to see wizards get a bonus, but when the enemies roll a 1 on their saves. Something like, recover the spell, expanded area (or more targets). It could even depend on the spell! Fighter =...

I like this aproach, I used to have a similar mechanic myself for a homebrew game I made. In my game, the sistem was just for spells, and you had two "standard" options (double damage or no MP spent to cast the spell) and then each spell would get special options (like double duration, for...

Agreed. Truth be told, death is very interesting and creates very strong reactions from a group (as long as it is uncommon enough). If characters die all the time, players get used to it. But used sparringly it creates atmosphere, tension and great roleplaying oportunities. Just like all...

I like the 4e model. You get two +1s. One of them will inevitably go to your main stat, and that leaves a bit of room to use the other +1 to round up another stat. You get to customize a bit, and move sideways on the power scale apart from moving up.

Or did they? Don't forget that Bilbo and Gandalf are part of the "party". Gandalf ends up turning the trolls to stone and then procedes to rout the goblins who make them prisioner and rain fire "granades" on the wolves who force them to climb trees to escape. Bilbo also defeats the spiders...

Go full inquisitor, that way you won't miss any specasting goodies (plus your judgements will progress). If need be, the Lorewarden archetype for fighter is awesome for a two level dip. Consider getting Vital Strike when you have enough BAB, but ask the DM if he lets you use it with spring...
