Good Afternoon, I did a quick search outside of this site, as well as within this site, and I was either blind to the answer or just couldn't find it. Is there a conversion guide from 5th ed D&D to Pathfinder? Some of my friends have been noticing that 5th ed is great for getting new players...

The Core Rulebook has very little to say about using lethal weapons to deal non-lethal damage. You can but with a -4 penalty. There are things that negate that penalty, but I am concerned more with the effect. If you are using a heavy pick to deal non-lethal damage, wouldn't that mean you are...

I guess I need to start this with the regular "I don't mean this to turn into a why you love or why you hate 4e thread." What I want to know is directed toward those who are converting to or planning to run 4e, but think that the game is more than just a 'kill things and take their loot' sort...

If a character wants to attack an object that is being held or is visible on a person/creature, what is the rule? Is it the default AC of the creature? Is it an adjusted AC if it is held in a hand or appendage? Is there a chance it can fall off or be dropped if hit? Or is this not actually...

If someone picks up a strength bow of +2 or +4, and they don't have any strength bonus, does it state somewhere in the rules that they can't use it, or that they just don't get the +2 or +4 bonus to damage? -wally

Is a larger creature with more than a 5' reach able to move more than 5' as a free action? Is a creature with a 10' reach able to move 10' as a free action without drawing attacks of opportunity? I am still a 3.0 player and am joining a 3.5 game and was told that this was a new rule in 3.5. I...

I have seen many topics like this in the past, but I want to start a new one anyway... There is a large population of magi in a certain part of my world, and with the party beginning to encounter some of them, they will end up gathering some magic items. Now, I just want as many ideas as y'all...

I am just wondering how DMs handle familiars that their players take. Do you require some role-playing sometime during the campaign regarding the familiar, by possibly having it participate in an adventure or just have the player do something with it? Do you mind if a player picks a familiar...

In certain write-ups of characters that I have seen online or in books, there are a few listed that have immunity to the spell timestop. Even after 3ed changed it from an area spell to caster effect. As the spell in 3 and 3.5 speeds up the caster so everything else seems to stop, how can...

In a combat heavy game, armor class is really important. As there is no guarantee that you can keep your magic armor or protection items, I would like an idea to follow regarding a class that gets an AC bonus as a class ability. I already know of the Unfettered from Arcana Unearthed, but I...

It is stated that if you miss on your first attempt at a grapple that you can try a second time if you have a second attack. Does that mean that if you grapple and succeed with your first attempt and choose damage that you can use your second attack for pin? Is it treating grapple as an...

An issue has arisen where an individual in our group believes that blindsight will not automatically see hidden creatures. The book specifies everything but hidden and this individual states that since the description doesn't specify hidden then blindsight can't see hidden. I say that...
