    Pathfinder vs. 3.5E?

    Which will matter for maybe a quarter of characters. Most characters don't have the skill points to spend on multiple skills, and most of the skills that got merged were rarely if ever used. Spellcraft and Perception are about the only ones likely to affect any significant fraction of...

    You can only ready a given maneuver once. It doesn't rewind time. Anything you do to provoke AOOs before you use the maneuver are unchanged because ... they happened, and the AOOs happened... before you did the maneuver. Yes. That's pretty much the only reason that feat exists. Don't forget you...

    Is it just me...or do all monsters have insane initiative?

    Which does nothing to explain how the average initiative for a level 1 monster is 4.

    Right, but I'm stepping back into cover. G18 is one of the 4-movement-cost grants-cover squares. The only requirement for Stealth is that you have cover or concealment relative to the target, which I do for 2/3 my movement, including both the beginning and the end. It doesn't require you to have...

    Pathfinder vs. 3.5E?

    Let me put it this way... My PFRPG game is a 4 person gestalt game. We have a Bard//Battledancer (me), a Barbarian//Crusader, an Artificer//Duskblade, and a Ranger//undecided (but not core class). Other than generic changes, like changing HD to match BAB (ie, Battledancer gets d10 HD for being...

    Pathfinder vs. 3.5E?

    Uh... no. The only change to skills is to do away with the stupid cross-class skill penalty and a bonus on the first rank with a skill IF it's a class skill. There's no "drastic change" to the number of skill points a character has. Actually, there's no effective change to how many skill points...

    In Defiance of Dragons--Protectors IC

    Immeral slides through the trees and underbrush along the side of the road gracefully and stealthily, firing another pair of arrows at one of the kobolds as he goes. Move G20->H19->G18. Using stealth as part of the movement: Stealth (1d20+9=14) Twin Strike vs KS1 (1d20+6=21, 1d10=6, 1d20+6=17...

    Anyone Tried Hexes?

    I can count on zero fingers the number of times I've ever gotten a target in every possible square/hex in an area effect spell in the last 25 years. Yes, I said zero fingers, as in it's never happened and it's never likely to happen. Basing such hyperbolic comments as "hexes make AOEs useless"...

    How so?

    Platemail sold here for CHEAP!!

    Plate Mail is not the same thing as Full Plate. They're actually very different. Most people seem to think they're the same thing, though, especially in this thread.

    Move and charge? Possible?

    This makes some sense for humanoids, but what about nonhumanoids? Horses don't have an upper body. They use their lower body both to move with and to attack with. Beholders don't have a lower body. Their movement is purely magical and they use their upper body to attack with. Rocs use their...

    Pathfinder vs. 3.5E?

    Polymorphing (and as an extension, Wild Shape) is far less powerful and far more specific, for one thing. Most of the vastly overpowered spells such as Wish are dramatically weaker. Clerics and Wizards get fewer spells per day thanks to changes to Domains and Schools. Grappling spells like...

    Pimp my Archivist

    Yeah, you can easily break Archivist with a lenient DM. Look no further than Frostburn's Disciple of Thrym for that - they get Summon Giants as a 4th level spell. Who wouldn't like to summon three fiendish hill giants guaranteed every cast at 7th level? Normally Summon Giants is an 8th level...

    Pathfinder vs. 3.5E?

    I can't see how you could possibly come to this conclusion :confused:

    Pathfinder vs. 3.5E?

    You'll be happy to know that the wizard, cleric, and druid are significantly nerfed in PFRPG. As are stacking buffs in general (3 max) if you use the recommended rule.

    Dragon article format

    Now that I can agree with. I assumed (I know, bad me) that, since the discussion was on portrait vs landscape, the complaint about printability was a portrait vs landscape issue, since no other issue was identified in the post.

    Stay back! The joy of OAs.

    Really? Then why did they use the general term when the specific term "move action" would have been much more clear? To me "move" rather than "move action" clearly means any movement.

    Stay back! The joy of OAs.

    All of those are movement.

    Dragon article format

    In this age of technology, everyone should know how to press the one button needed on the Print... interface to change the print from portrait to landscape. If they CANNOT do so, they need to go back to the instruction manual. ;)
