Hence the reason to make it a Deed- a specifically activated ability rather than something random that just happens on the battlefield. As for the spells you mention, why not make a feat of it? A Metamagic feat, costing say +1 level? Certainly makes sense to me that a Wizard could learn to make...

I'll certainly add this to the house rules for my setting's Gunslinger. :) I'd advise 3rd, since the basis for the Deed is the real physical nature of the black powder itself- presumably it could be done (in the sense of a real action) at 1st level, but might be too powerful that low. Contrast...

While my campaigns were running (and while the PCs were still mortals), I used a "sleep on it" rule- meaning that, a character could get enough XP to go up a level, but that level's benefits would not actually be gained until after the character got a full night's rest. If that rest was...

It's not entirely the same thing, but have you seen this thread?

I should mention, for further help to the OP, that the PF version of my setting includes many races with creature types other than Humanoid- so I threw the Creature Type admonishment in Golden's Guide (in essence, he says "Don't do it!!!") out the window. The important thing with creature types...

In that case, you might consider a lesson I learned while running the 3.X version of my homebrew setting: it is not important that your setting's options balance with Core, just so long as they balance with each other. If you want a Large race, then go ahead and make a Large race; just total up...

If the OP goes a dip in Barbarian, and sticks mostly to Oracle of Battle, then the possibility of going with a couple of levels in Rage Prophet exists- that's the main reason to combine those two specific classes. I was in a game a few months ago with a guy who did that, went Rage Prophet with...

It's a good place to start from, though yes, some things are overpriced in Golden's system. I used it (after some tweaking) to balance the 70-odd races of my homebrew, many of which are just cultural variations really (so in effect, going the opposite way from the OP here). Worked great, IMO-...

Awww. Well, thanks anyway for trying. :)

It's a fringe case, not technically a method of adding damage to individual ranged attacks- but... Clustered Shots (from Ultimate Combat- not added yet on PFSRD, but it's a packed book- give them time) is a feat that lets you add multiple hits against a single opponent together before applying...

Age of Worms has had issues with intellectual property and licensing from day one, sadly. Really, the only reason Paizo were able to do it in Dungeon was that that magazine was an official D&D accessory, so WotC had to give them full access to the closed game content (among other things) or the...

I certainly was. Really, in any campaign featuring any social interaction at all, I'd much rather have a Bard in the party (most times) than a Rogue. Bards as the "party face" are scary good. Seriously, in 3.5 one of my players- the one who is least interested in statistics and character...

Funny you mention this- in my Epic house rules, Bards do in fact get Bardic Performance that grants Wish at 30th level. :) But for the OP's question? I'll echo Crothian: if you think Bards suck then it's because you wanted to play something else anyway.

I used to do this in mega-dungeons my party would enter by using my JavaScript app-ified 1E DMG random dungeon generator (just click a button, and voila, instant dungeon extension for the blank spot), but with your system one doesn't even need a map most of the time. Nice idea! I know for a...

As an aside, don't anyone hold your breath waiting for Epic Pathfinder- I've seen several forum posts by Paizo heavyweights such as Eric Mona and James Jacobs stating point-blank that they won't be releasing PF Epic rules until they know they're doing them right, and at the moment they're not...

UK always said that the Wish SLA that deities get is supposed to still cost XP, whereas the Alter Reality thing I don't recall ever seeing him state explicitly. Of course, as has been pointed out several times, by RAW he's wrong: when a spell goes from spell to spell-like-ability, it loses any...

My bad.

Post reported for lack of research. :p Advanced Race Guide is a Paizo product announced months ago. It is therefore relevant to this forum (based on Pathfinder, a Paizo product) and this thread particularly. Spam it is not, and cannot be considered.

Yes, that was my point. Worm That Walks was originally a template in Call of Cthulhu d20, based on a creature from the classic campaign (which we'd call an "adventure path" today) Shadows of Yog-Sothoth. WotC adopted it for the Epic-Level Handbook, and it got used for Kyuss in Age of Worms, so...

If you want to talk psionic archers, talk Dreamscarred Press- they did one in Untapped Potential called the Marksman. It's 3.5, but we all know that's mostly compatible with PF- plus it means they're likely to update it for PF given their new psionics line that started with Psionics Unleashed...
