Clarity note: the feats mentioned here are actually named Cleaving Finish and Improved Cleaving Finish. They're in Ultimate Combat. The advice and build are solid as granite, otherwise. :)

You don't need a feat to bump up the damage of a natural attack; it already exists. Improved Natural Attack is in the Bestiary, but PCs can take it too if they can fulfill the prerequisites (which are, Natural Weapon, BAB +4).

Be fair. This is the age of virus pages that download malware onto your PC. Some of the responsibility has to be on you, for not reading the URL embedded in the link before clicking on it (every browser has some method of showing this; for example Firefox shows it on the bottom of the screen...

Low magic means the gear isn't up to snuff, so yes, it is a valid consideration. In a low-magic game, the PCs won't have numbers up to the average amount assumed in the Pathfinder rules, so monsters will be tougher than they would be in a standard-magic campaign. Therefore, it amounts to the...

Dreamscarred also did an entire psionic archer class in 3.5, called the Marksman; it was in their first big product (Untapped Potential). Maybe try updating that to PF rules, if you can get it. Of course, they're doing Psionics Expanded now; maybe there's a new version of the Marksman in that?

Golden's Guide is a good place to start, but it's too conservative for most homebrews. You use it as a jumping-off point and build from there. The important thing is not that your new race(s) match Core; it's that they match each other and whatever other races you allow in your game. Regarding...

Has nobody else considered what Bulettes actually do in an ecology, and its similarity to a certain movie starring Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon? :confused::) The movie even takes place in a tiny Nevada town in a desert, and features lots of shooting of guns!

Feel free to ignore me. *I* quoted *YOU* and disproved your statement. If you agree that your statement as you wrote it was false, that's good enough for me. :)

If you'll read my post more carefully, you'll notice that I specifically mentioned both of those by name. :) :p Thank you. This tells me that Omnicompetent was specifically the one I was thinking of. No, it isn't. Under the 3.X rules, the difference between class skills and cross-class skills...

If Summoner is your primary and it is just a dip of a level or two, then you definitely want something CHA-based- Wizard is a Bad Idea, for example, because it depends on INT. Going CHA-based means you have better synergy with your Summoner levels, since CHA is by far the Summoner's most...

*I* was referring to the pronouncement that "there's no mechanical difference between the two games." The statement is patently false and easily disproven; the most obvious difference is with how skills work in PF. There is no longer a 4-rank thing at level 1, and all skill points spent get the...

Clearly, you've never played Pathfinder if you believe that.

The immediately obvious answer from 3.5 is Libris Mortis. That entire book is about Undead, it's like the Draconomicon for the Undead creature type. To a lesser extent, you can find items of interest in Heroes of Horror and Book of Vile Darkness. From PF, the Carrion Crown AP is probably the...

If it's a true apocalypse, then maybe that means fundamental laws of the universe are changing. That was the approach used by WotC in the 3.5 Elder Evils book; the entity Atropus causes an undead apocalypse upon the world it visits. As it approaches, the power of its negative energy field messes...

This is true; the adventure is "And Madness Followed" in Dungeon #134 (May 2006). Great adventure. I never actually ran it as presented, but I used elements from it several times. One Epic-level party I ran actually had the main crafter make a pact with the King in Yellow and create the artifact...

We knew Paizo was going to be doing Mythos stuff when the Shoggoth showed up in Bestiary 1.

A couple of abilities suggest that you started this as an Archetype and switched it to full-blown alternate class later. If true, I'd be interested in seeing an explanation of your reasoning in deciding that- I've been looking to make a Magus Archetype that can use firearms myself, and the...

There are no specific rulings about which divine status is supposed to represent what sort of area or region. Krust has said a few things, but when pressed on specifics and comparisons between the modern-Earth scientific vision of a universe and his (necessary) interaction with the D&D...

Yes, typically traps like the one you seem to be describing are done in game terms as multiple traps that happen to exist within the same area, and trigger together or one right after another. That was the approach taken by the Necromancer folks when they did the 3.X "Wurst of Grimtooth's Traps"...

Cool. I always wondered what this sucker would be like. I'll have to look it over later, as I'm still at work now. But thanks, Belzamus!
