It's mostly in the skills, but there are significant differences in the way some feats work- for example, Cleave is very different (for the 3.5 version, or anyway the closest facsimile, you need to take Great Cleave), and Power Attack no longer allows you to set it yourself- it scales...

Symbol of Sealing from Ultimate Magic is close, but an Incorporeal critter could just move around the wall. It's a start, though.

Given that she's that munchkin, I say abuse the unliving hells out of Contingency. :) You don't like it, sure; but isn't it exactly what a munchkin uses in situations like this? As for spells to not get wet, really, the rules are built to assume living humanoid PCs. For living humanoid PCs...

The Pearl definitely will not work, nor will any other means of getting a Swim speed magically or with Extraordinary abilities. When the template says "the base creature," it means the base creature before any alterations from anything else. Without her class levels and munchkinesque use of...

The merging thing can work well in a story, depending on the precise details of how you have gods, Sidereals, and Quintessence working in your campaign and setting. I did it in my big campaign that ended in January 2010, and the players were quite satisfied with the outcome. In my updates to...

Pull in a few Druid spells, would be the most obvious way. Stuff that's mostly Conjuration-oriented, like Fire Seeds- though there aren't a lot of Druid Conjuration spells, so perhaps extend it to non-Conjuration stuff that's obviously Druidish such as Entangle and Goodberry. Maybe grant a...

It's tough to say how good it is, because it's so unique an idea- I've never really seen anything like it before. Conjurer focused on Wall spells is probably the closest analogy, but this Generation Evoker could start doing it as early as level 3 by preparing a Lingering Burning Hands! And...

Agreed. Archetype is obviously what's called for here. I think swap out Flurry of Blows for Detect+Smite, maybe, for a start. Other stuff builds from there. You can maybe even make special abilities unique to the Archetype that no other class gets, like maybe a Smite-based version of the...

Please repost here when you have it; I think you'll get a lot of downloads! :)

Good idea for an illustration. However, in my PF Core book, a Handy Haversack's central portion can hold 8 cubic feet, and each side pouch can hold 2 cubic feet. Cube root of 2 is about 1.25 feet, so those side pouches should be 1.25 feet on a side. And the cube root of 8 is 2, so the central...

Looks like a GM call to me- I don't recall any rule stating whether the metamagic should apply first, or not. If it does apply first, then your Evoker Lingering Spell sees a Fireball with duration 1 round, and extends it; if it doesn't, then the Evoker ability sees an Instantaneous spell and...

Agreed. I would totally house-rule that, myself. It fits too well.

I wouldn't have thought of Ranger for this, but it looks well-executed to me and worth trying. And of course, as you noted, comparisons to Synthesist are inevitable. The only objection I can see offhand would be that it would be pretty much impossible to run a "shanghai/press-gang the party"...

Don't forget the Archaeologist Archetype, for Bard. Given how obvious the association is, it'd be practically criminal not to at least consider it (if nothing else, to justify why not to use it when people ask). Edit: not specifically for the Whip association, mind you- just for the other...

Oh, that's good. :) I am so yoinking this somehow. The fact that the Eidolon can use Evolution points to boost its Craft skill just makes it as an idea. I had a GM who let me use Craft (Alchemy) with an Alchemist to craft any sort of item I liked, with both Master Craftsman and Master...

In this case, I think, actually the opposite problem is true. It's not a pointer to the item being too good; it's a pointer to the feat being too weak to be worth a feat slot. :) Think about what Shield Proficiency actually does; most of the time you're talking about removal of a -1 penalty to...

"Everyone?" I don't hate it. Never have. I think you're mistaking absence of evidence for evidence of absence, here. In other words, it may be that the reason you see so many posts about people hating Vancian magic is not because a majority does, but rather because the majority that doesn't hate...

Stealth is a buff for you, so you should have checked off 2 on blargney's list above. :) If debuffing enemies is supposed to happen via crippling sneak attacks and such, then Assassin is definitely your prestige class of choice. As for the Stealth, you can do that at low levels with mundane...

Honestly, I thought you were doing Rogue for Trapfinding and Evasion, I didn't even think about class skills. :) Evasion can be worth having also; I should revise my previous statement to include that with Trapfinding. Tends to be better at higher levels rather than lower ones, but worth having...

Sneak Attack happens with every single attack that hits while you have the Sneak Attack active, not just once per round. So yes, anything that gets you more attacks is good for Sneak Attack. That would be why Vivisectionist Alchemist is so often used. Invariably, the Vivisectionist hopes to use...
