So, I am now looking to join a 5th level pathfinder campaign and I have decided to play a Synthesist. What I'm looking to make is a build that satisfies a few criteria (as given by the DM). 1) The Eidolon is to be as simple as possible, granting only stat bonuses, natural armor bonuses, and...

So, I'm going to be playing in a Pathfinder game soon (hopefully), and I'm trying to build a good character. The limitations by the DM are: Human, 25 point-buy, and no starting equipment. No level has been provided yet, so it has to be a build that is viable levels 1-20, though I'm fairly...

How awesome would it be for your character to be directly descended from a god? It's a cool idea, but unless you want to spend your whole class playing a Godling (from Super Genius Games, you can find it on the d20 pathfinder srd), it's difficult to do. Below is my own solution to the problem...

The origins of the Aulos are obscure at best, at worst lost to the winds of time. Some scholars claim that they are humans who have bred with mechanical outsiders and become detached from mortality, while other equally learned mages believe them to be a race of machines created for the express...

I'm making a Truenamer 20 / Exemplar 10, and I've never played an epic level character before. I'd be really grateful if I could get some help with that. I start with 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, and 11 for my stats, with 6 points to divide among them (to a max of 18 starting). Race is human. I can use...

So, how do you give a spellcaster Vow of Poverty (or something similar) and keep it in balance? They don't need weapons or armor, but the lack of defensive items and staves drastically reduces their strength. So, here's my idea. Charity (Character Option) Prerequisite: 1st level Benefit: You...

Fast Healer Prerequisite: Fort save +4 Benefit: You gain Fast Healing 1. At 10th, 15th, and 20th level, your fast healing improves by 1. This healing does not stack with other sources of Fast Healing, such as a Lesser Vigor spell, but it stacks with other uses of this feat. Special: You may take...

I'm in a campaign, playing a Worldthought Medic (psionic healer) and I want to play a character that gives all her wealth to charity. At the same time, however, I don't want to be perpetually behind the other party members in strength because of this. What I'd like to do is take something...

I'm currently playing in a campaign in which the players are all adventurers in a large dungeon, one so vast and with so much teleportation magic it seems nearly infinite. Inside is a town, Free Town, made up entirely of adventurers. My character, a psychic, has no need of magical items...

I'm going to be playing in a 6th level Pathfinder game, and I'm trying to design a base class that fills the role of a Cleric or a Paladin, while focusing on group healing and group combat boosts. Here is my current idea, based partially on the Inquisitor, but taking a little from the Paladin...

I ran a Pathfinder / 3.5 game with a problem player. To call him an extreme powergamer would be a courtesy; I'm not sure he has the capacity to tell what is and is not appropriate power for a character of a given level. He finds whatever he can find that is powerful and plays it. Every session I...

Duelists are often-flamboyant warriors who follow the Duelist's Code, fighting with a sense of honor and fairness. Duelists may be of any alignment except for true neutral; all Duelists are passionate in some way. Elves, half-elves, and humans are the most common duelists with a few dwarves as...

The premise is simple. Rather than have your Eidolon fight in combat for you, what if the Summoner literally fused with an Extraplanar creature and gained abilities? Here is how it would work. 1) The Eidolon can be summoned as a full-round action that provokes an attack of opportunity. 2) When...

I'm going to be playing in an advanced technology D&D campaign. Same rules as standard 3.5, only with a steampunk pallet-swap, if you will. Naturally, I decided to play a Tinker from the WOW d20 book. First of all, has anyone played this class before? I understand the rules for it, but at some...

Mild spoilers ahead for an old AD&D module. After running two Pathfinder sessions with 3rd level characters (using an updated version of Night of the Walking Dead from AD&D Ravenloft), the party killed a Crocodile, 3 giant frogs, and nearly a dozen ghouls. After 3 combat encounters, the party...

This version of the Artificer is somewhere between the original, the Tinker from the World of Warcraft book, and an Alchemist. It is more balanced, trading early access to spells for 6th level Weird Science Inventions. They lose feats early on, but gain more customization options, making them...

I'm going to be playing in a high-tech, low-arcane magic D&D campaign in a few weeks, and I remembered that I had a copy of the World of Warcraft 3.5 book. Lo and behold, there's a class called the Tinker, which can be summarized as a Rogue except instead of trap-oriented and sneaky class...

I'm not sure if someone's done this already, but what about a prestige class that's basically just immune to magic? I'm thinking d10 hit dice, full attack bonus, all good saves, and... that. First level, immune to magic. At higher levels, counter-spelling things you touch, at even higher ones...

I'm currently running a Scion campaign, and the next session is going to be a murder mystery in an Atlantean ruin. All supernatural abilities are being suppressed inside (for various reasons). The mystery is pretty basic. 4 suspects (1 missing somewhere in the ruin), 2 have motive, 3 have...

Below is the legacy weapon a player in my group designed and sent to me. Comments/suggestions would be welcome. Veritas was once the right eye of an archivist who battled against the forces of dark magic and paid the final price. By taking Veritas’ legacy upon yourself, you gain...
