With 3 melee characters in the party (Cleric, Barbarian and Paladin, assuming they are all melee) a Rogue Dualer might be in order (lots of flanking Sneak Attacks!). Might I suggest a Gripli Knifemaster-Scout? If not, an archer Ranger is a great addition. Pick Goblins first then Giants and you...

The PCs of a campaign I was DMing once run into a Balor. It muttered something about braking a seal and then Greater Teleported away before they could act. When they got back to town, they tried making an illustration of the monster to show to an NPC so that he could identify it form them...

Undead is such a broad type that it will almost never be a bad choice. Ditto for the "dominant humanoid" type on the area (human, most likely) Bear in mind that on Ultimate Campaign there are rules for retraining, so that you can change your favorite enemy for a new one. Ask you DM if he will...

Well, you get the classics: CLW and Enlarge person. Then there are Shield and Magic armor potions, those are useful but common and work better as wands for repeated use (for Monks, specially). Longstrider lasts an hour, so that can be good if there are a couple of encounters in succession...

I made this item up inspired by a similar one on Icewind Dale II. It was a broken bag of holding. It had one hundred different items (mostly mundane stuff) and you could take only one of them out of it every 24 hours. You rolled a d20 and checked on table I had made. Higher numbers gave better...

I would build such a PrC around two main abilities. A standard action teleport Spell Like and a faster "swift action" teleport. So, let’s say that this dude has a 3/4s BAB; good reflex save; acrobatics, stealth and a couple other thematically appropriate skills as class skills and 4-6 skill...

My low HP wizard always carried a whistle with him, in case he "needed an adult" to come rescue him from some orcs or whatever (later, he learnt higher level spells and started rescuing the other party members himself). He also carried a common toad and told EVERYONE that it was his familiar...

I DM, so usually I carry a lot of books around. Core Rulebook DMG Guide (for its useful random tables). Bestiary 1, 2 and 3 plus two copies of the NPC codex (great book for improvising). Ultimate equipment (for rewards). I also make extensive use of the SRD and have my tablet and notebook...

Bard + Cavalier = Marshal Some interesting combinations: * A guy that has both Arcane and Divine Magic from level 1 (Warlock?). * Gunslinger + Alchemist = Demolition Man/Woman. Very heavy firearms and explosives, like bazookas and stuff. * Monk + Summoner = ???

Ok, I'll just say it... The Book of Erotic Fantasy has some great rules for conceptions, pregnancies and related stuff. It is 3.5, but highly compatible with Pathfinder.

Ok, this is a tricky build. The multiclass is rather mismatched. Not being able to use armor (since you are going sorcerer) is one of the things to consider when assigning scores. You already have two scores that are higher priority than DEX (CHA and STR) so I say just don't worry about AC and...

Ok, just checked out the archetype... and it seems pretty straight forward. By level 5 you are pretty much ignoring all the drawbacks of the shield and netting a nice +2 AC bonus compared to a regular sword-and board type. The thing is that you won't be able to do a lot of damage since you...

In my experience, the two best "martial" combat styles (this means that they use no magic) are Two-handed fighting and Archery. So, in my opinion, look at what the other fighter is doing. If he is playing a two-hander, then go archer. The Lore Master archetype costs you a feat, which is a...

Power wise... well, dwarven monks are not on the upper side of the curve! But I actually like the drunken master, and the archetype certainly suits a Warhammer drink-until-you-faint dwarf-guy. Master of many styles is a big nerf IMO. Just go Snake Style (or Dragon) and don't bother with the...

For weapons, I would vote for a merge. As someone else pointed out, there is quite a lot of overlap anyway. Armor is the main issue here, IMO. Oriental armor has the AMAZING Kikko Armor (a +5 AC medium armor with a max DEX of +4 for only 30 gp!) and a probably broken light armor that has...

If you are willing to go 3rd party, then Deathmage is cool, too. Is sort of a less powerful druid that can opt to take an undead companion and has a bunch of other abilities. I DMed a game where a friend of mine used it and it was quite balanced. You can find it on the SRD.

1 - Yes, but there are a couple of things to consider. If you use a two-handed weapon (which you should, if you want to deal "competitive" damage), then the Elven Curve Blade is quite good at that. 1d10, 18x2, finessable. Try to go for at least a DEX score of 18 and a STR score of 14. Power...

Ultimate Campaign was pushed waaay back... the same happened with a couple other Paizo books this and last year. I didn't know that they were planning to offer I on Gen Con (me not living in the US and all). I does seem, now, that the release date won't be modified by this time, so I guess you...

This is similar to the 3.5 mechanic of Flaws. Basically, you could take up to two Flaws (if I remember correctly) and each of them would grant you an extra feat at level one. Pathfinder has something similar called Drawbacks, only instead of up to two you can only take one, they are less...

What's the deal with the ninja? Well, the way to get the most out of them is to use their sneak attack damage to really pile up a bunch of d6s and rip the opponent apart. The thing is that the best way to set up sneak attacks is by flanking and that really depends on party composition. If you...
