    Pathfinder 1E What quintessential 4e abilities would you convert to PF1 for this encounter?

    I have an idea for a series of encounters with creatures from outside space and time. To help drive that foreignness home, I'm going to convert a 3.5e beholder, mind flayer, and displacer beast to PF. I also want to have the PCs run afoul of a party of bad guys with a suite of abilities from 4e...

    What is the worst "I don't know how my own abilities work" you've encountered in a game?

    We've got a player who can not figure out 5e upcasting to save her life. Every single session, she'll cast something and it'll go like this: "I cast flaming sphere. Oh what's this at the bottom? Well I'm ninth level, so I guess the sphere does 8d6 damage now." She does that specific spell...

    Your most used accessories?

    A few years back I picked up some Femo and made a variety of custom condition markers. They see use in almost every session.

    Pathfinder 1E Questions about the use of wands

    1. Can a wand contain a spell of personal range? I'm thinking Shield for this set of questions, specifically. 2. Is there a verbal component, command word, or the like to activate a wand? Do they work in the area of a Silence spell? 3. Is there a somatic component to activate a wand, or some...

    Bringing 5e elements into Pathfinder to deconfuse players

    Changes we pulled from 5e: - full attacks now take a standard action. - you can intersperse attacks with movement in any order. - standing up from prone uses half your movement, and doesn't provoke AoOs. - movement only provokes an AoO when you leave an opponent's threatened area. - one free...

    We just had our first trial run. That. Was. Awesome.

    Bringing 5e elements into Pathfinder to deconfuse players

    Oh yeah, I've been contemplating what parts of core-only PF will be affected most by this mod: - Vital Strike just adds bonus [W]s to the first attack on your turn. - Spring Attack works as written except you can make all your attacks with no AoOs from the target. - Cleave could just be swapped...

    Bringing 5e elements into Pathfinder to deconfuse players

    Thanks for the replies, everybody! The 5e campaign is running the Tomb of Annihilation, which would be a giant PITA to convert out of 5e. Likewise, the PF game's primary source material has four years of play in Golarion with the Kingmaker path, so it would experience similar conversion pains...

    Bringing 5e elements into Pathfinder to deconfuse players

    We've got a couple of campaigns with weekly gaming sessions right now: one is Pathfinder and the other is 5e. I'm super happy with this arrangement, but there are a couple of players who are getting really confused with switching rulesets. They're at the point where the confusion is actually...

    Pathfinder 1E Need help pricing a magic item

    I've also decided that it's called a Colt 46. :D

    Pathfinder 1E Need help pricing a magic item

    I went with 6k, and she said she'll keep it. Result!

    Pathfinder 1E Need help pricing a magic item

    Celebrim, I think your principal of pricing it low to encourage keeping it is a good one. The player is unlikely to abuse this with Vital Strike shenanigans, and it's got a nifty story that I want to stick around. I'll go with 6000gp and see what happens.

    Pathfinder 1E Need help pricing a magic item

    Thanks for the reply, Celebrim, it's really helpful! :-) Does the fact that the damage is an (Ex) ability and ignores SR change anything? The magic part of this revolver is that it creates 5 mundane bullets each day. Also yep, I'm deliberately not using core PF gun rules for this item.

    Pathfinder 1E Need help pricing a magic item

    The rogue in my game swiped a weapon from a Leng ghoul in Carcosa, and it will soon become important to have an appropriate price for it. Here are the stats: Exotic light ranged weapon: 4d6 fire damage, 20/x2, range increment 10'. Targets touch AC, has 5 uses/day. I'm having a heck of a time...

    If you want to put some storm in your tempest so you can storm while you tempest: ASI +2 Cha this level, then take sorc at level 9. :D

    Tempest Cleric Level 8 Choice (ASI or Feat)

    I'm currently playing a Tempest Cleric 6/Storm Sorcerer 1. The sorc level massively helped me fill the tank role for my party: Booming Blade (with War Caster), Shield, and Absorb Elements added a lot of resilience and stickiness, and I'm having a blast. -blarg
