Not to toot my own horn too much, but you people were aware of this thread and this one, right?

For the monsters, you've already gotten good advice- though I'll mention that since I got most of the WotC 3.X books, and don't recognize the Orium Dragon offhand, it's unlikely that a 3.X version exists. Rage Drake I do recognize, vaguely, though I can't honestly say where I saw it last- so a...

Regarding Secret Chest- I think Witches get it so they can create items like Bags of Holding and Handy Haversacks. It's also somewhat ironic that you commented for Rest Eternal "extra style points for throwing the body into a Bag of Holding and then destroy the Bag" and then only a couple spells...

Oh yes, the new blue is much better! Finally got around to using Systole's color from the Barbarian Handbook eh? ;)

Bumping this to keep it on page 1, since Stream is still doing work on it.

Power trip. That's what it is when a player does this; that's what it always is when a munchkin is involved. Munchkins get off on power trips, and on having the most powerful character who can do anything he wants (especially if it means stomping all over the game world doing things like...

These aren't obscure details, they're basics of the psionics rules. It's like spellcasters: would you let a Wizard PC in your party cast Fireball and claim it was really dealing 15d6 damage for some reason? And Wizards have school specialty powers too; in fact the Teleportation Subschool...

First off, I'm not sure how you can claim to be running a PF game without even having the PF Core Rulebook on hand to check. Do you have the PDF or something? While I sympathize with the boredom coming from reading lots of rules text, the GM is supposed to be fairly rules-savvy under most...

I've seen Battle Oracle in play, and it's a beast and a half. Out-damaged the single-classed Fighter in the same party easily, at levels 8-10. And interestingly enough, he too was using the Haunted curse- his init modifier was -4, so he usually went last, but MAN OH MAN did he hit hard when he...

Eh, who am I kidding? I have an eidetic memory, along with a large collection of instrumental soundtracks on my HD, and I know perfectly well that I can do better than my vague first post. So, time to offer specific recommendations for what the OP asked. Happy: Most movies cover this with at...

(1) Yeah, new spell here. Actually some of the old Mongoose books (for 3.0) had cool ideas for creating fake summons, which is what the player seems to be focusing on here; I've forgotten the name but it might have been The Complete Illusionist. They had one for each of the schools, basically...

Soundtracks in general are a good bet, if you go with instrumental ones (often sold as "original score" albums rather than "original soundtrack"). Movie soundtracks can be easily recognized, if they're recent or iconic, but that's not always a bad thing. I played the music from the scene in Star...

I agree with KerlanRayne there- PF consolidated skills, and tends to cluster like things together or consolidate non-skill mechanics (for example, class features that have the same mechanics are usually given the same name in class archetypes, even for normally wildly different classes), so...

Yeah, I'm seriously considering picking this up several years in advance of my baby nephew getting old enough for it to matter- I'm still on the fence purely because of the long lead time (I'm not even sure, after all, that he'll like fantasy enough to make RPGs a likely interest). He's 3 now...

Agreed. I ran several games at high and Epic levels in 3.X and no player ever took Craft Rod, that I can recall, unless they literally had no other feats to pick- there just wasn't any point to it as far as they saw. Making them Wondrous makes sense, though of course that just makes Wondrous...

You're equating Good with Lawful there. This may be fine for your games, and your personal out-of-game convictions, but it's not what the rules say. :) By the rules, what the Barbarian did was neither Good nor Evil, but it certainly did break the expected rules of social conduct and therefore...

Depending on your precise definition of "tank," you might consider Stream's dual-shield wielding Ranger build. It certainly has flair!

Use the "Psionics are Different" variant with Dark Sun. That way, Arcane magic is still a dangerous tool to use, but since it's the outlier- and it's not as easy to circumvent as psionics is (since everything is psionic, but only a few things are magical)- that makes it a valuable choice.

Bestiary 2 contains updated monster rules, including several new abilities that aren't explained in Bestiary 1. Quickie example: Lifesense, though admittedly there's not much to that one. But Lifesense is an ability listed in the Universal Monster Rules section of 2, and it's not in 1. 2 also...

Baphomet never had anything to do with Force in prior editions of the game- he's not a particularly good fit. I'd say the best deity to use as an example is Tharizdun. He had the Force Domain in 3.0, in fact they created it just for him in the "Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil"...
