magazines. reading the old issues is bittersweet.

paizo should hire those eight guys, andy collins, and david noonan.

the followers that can be acquired through feats and class features such as animal companion (including a paladin's mount), cohort (including squire and torchbearer), and eidolon all seem to become less powerful in relation to their masters as their master advances in levels. familiars are an...

has anyone done this?

would it make more sense to maximize hit points but use the equivalent of measured response for everything else (taking the average of any dice rolls)?

how can keep on the borderlands and temple of elemental evil possibly be ahead of tomb of horrors? :confused:

this question is meant in the context of 3e/3.5/pf, but could apply to any edition (or any rpg, i suppose). what would happen if all non-d20 rolls were maximized? for example, a fighter gets 10 hit points plus bonuses/level, a longsword does 8 points of damage plus bonuses, and a first level...

been reading this, and am wondering how this can possibly be legit: "Kavar’s real strength is his ability to heal two hit points per round at will using the combination of a message spell, heightened two levels (but not requiring higher level slots due to the traits), and casting the spell on...

i used this coupon to finally get emerald spire! :D

dm's: would you allow elude blows (from monte cook's book of experimental might) in your game? elude blows allows a character to subtract a number from their damage rolls and add the same number to their armor class. presumably this would function mechanically like combat expertise and power...

i've been a little (ok, a lot) out of the console loop for the past 15 years, and i'm thinking of picking up a console to play some rpgs. my favorite game is the baldur's gate series and i also love the final fantasy series (but haven't played it since ff7). can anyone recommend a console and...

maybe khepri's system works a bit better: d12 hd (50 cp) strong bab (50 cp) all strong saves (35 cp) barbarian's skill points and class skills (40 cp) simple and martial weapons (25 cp) sneak attack (15 cp) fast movement (5 cp) uncanny dodge/improved (15 cp) evasion/improved (15 cp) that's the...

yeah, you would hope so: easier to just take an existing spellcasting setup rather than trying to assemble your own. :erm: especially considering your observation that this system values d12 hit dice more than twice as much as bard spellcasting. :-S

i'm trying to make what i think the ninja "should" be. or at least what i want it to be. :D

if you think that's weird, check out the "mystical abilities" section of his system.

exactly. by the way, i'm trying to make my version of this.

yep: d12 hd (50 cp) strong bab (25 cp) all strong saves (16 cp) barbarian's skill points and class skills (43 cp) simple and martial weapons (25 cp) sneak attack (21 cp) wisdom to ac (4 cp; 1 cp x 4 for being acquired at level 1) fast movement (4 cp; 1 cp x 4 for being acquired at level 1)...

based on popular opinion of these classes, such a mix doesn't seem to be unreasonable. or maybe i should just be a fighter/monk gestalt. :-S

yep, the character i posted uses exactly the 215 points allowed. eh, i'd rather be able to make the character work the way the system intends rather than optimizing. :erm: but thanks anyway. :D
