Thanks for the leads, this really helps! Dave

Instead of an epic quest to restore the sun, maybe the PC's were instead transported to an alternative prime material plane or moved to a shadow like plane. That might be a little easier to resolve. If you want a way to restore the sun, my thought would to not so much focus on the physical...

In our campaign I'm going to have a private meeting run. What spells could prvent any divination of said meeting? non-Detection or communal non-detection would prevent individuals, can anyone think of a way to prevent scrying or divination spells in an area? Thanks, David

The mod is a 3.5, so even if I converted the NPC's to Pathfinder from scratch I don't think they would be too different since it is just one NPC level. I appreciate your feedback and will go with using tougher "monster" guards. Dave

I'm DM'ing my first Pathfinder module (Tower of the Last Baron) and the first time I have DM'ed overall in many years. The mod calls for a number of encounters of a high number of 1st level warriors versus the 5th level party. On paper, the encounter level would be EL 7 for 8 x 1st level...

Why do you need a reason? Are the PC's in contact with astronomers, sages, or geologists? Make it an unknown to most people or even the experts and it is simply their reality. Dave

As everyone has said, you can only channel so many times and hordes of undead will use of those channels. You will still need the other classes though, just because it is an undead campaign doesn't mean that there will not be other monsters or NPC's to battle that a fighter will be needed, same...

In our game the rogues get sneak attacks by working with the party to offer flanking opportunities. It is a team effort. I agree that rogues are "squeashy" so it is is a concious decision on byparty to get the rogue in a good spot. Fighters really need to move where it allows the rogue a...

Perram, First and foremost, thank you for such a wonderful resource. Since you are requesting new features, how about the ability to export the data into a csv file. This would allow the end user to manipulate teh daa in Excel to sort or filter on fields such as save verus (Ref/Will/Fort) or...

If my Druid were to change into a bird (raven or owl) via Winged Watcher he would have fly as a movement. Is it possible to run while flying for x4 movement? I think it is possible, but am getting hung up on the word "run". Can someone please help me to achieve the maximum speed while flying...

I'm playing my first Druid and we just leveled up from 3rd to 4th level (we started at 3rd level). My animal companion is a war dog. Do I need to level up my dog as well?? The chart for animal companion groups 3 - 5 level for the animal companion, does that mean I do not make any changes to...

I think that is a great idea. Make the magic item a unique item custom to your campaign. Each group, historical or current, in your campaign would have unique items tailored to their classes or races. David

I agree that the Druids make some of the toughest characters overall. Their spells are nearly on par with a wizard for damage, they can fight in melee well enough to handle themselves, and wildshape is a huge boost even when not abused. The wildshape arguement about seeing different animals is...

As well as sucking up attacks of the monster to allow other PC's to not be attacked. An intelligent monster would realize the strategy and try to bypass a fighter not actively attacking it, but a less intelligent monster might not. David

Comparing 2E to 3.x I thought the overall rule changes made combat much more deadly and made the game much more tactical. With so many rules on tactical movement (5’ step, AOO’s, withdrawing, etc.) there is a bigger emphasis on fighting well on the board versus a more one dimensional feel of...

I think it is a big mistake to bring a 1st level character to the table in an adventure with higher level characters. Any combat the 1st level character is unable to contribute. A mage's magic missile isn't going to do much, a fighter can't afford to get hit once by a monster that can do 10 -...

This is very clever and would really help the party. Even if they did not have flour for a large area, they might be able to hole up in a hall or small room and cover some of the area towards them. Overall, an invisible opponent is extremely difficult to beat. Even putting down flour on one...

Our DM didn't ban it out right, but kept asking the monk "where are you carrying it?". The monk's answer was "wrapped around my waste". This led to the monk taking damage anytime he tumbled or did anything when he wasn't holding his weapon. I thought it was a very good point by the DM. A...

It is a nice feat, but not a great feat or unbalanced for four reasons: 1) The +2 to attack and damage is not that big at 8th level. 2) I wonder how many times is this feat useful in a game unless you are using TWF. How many times will the fighter change his weapon from his main weapon (that...

I know I am in the minority, but I do not take PA with my fighters. IMC we typically fight fewer, tougher monsters making cleave of little value. PA is risky as we are often fighting tough opponents where the risk to missing is comporable. If my DM's style was weaker, but more numerous...
