Calling all fantasy gamers in the Auckland region! If you want your gaming fix regularly but without commitment, or want to commit regularly, or even just GM occasionally, Pathfinder Society is for you! If you can make it to Takapuna on Tuesday nights fortnightly, there are Pathfinder Society...

In our current campaign we have no particular rules for PC comments. Which is fine by me. In the games I DM, I have other things to do than prevent PCs from talking. But anything the PCs say during combat, if related to the current situation, can be heard by their opponents. If their opponents...

I've only just realised my CS account has expired too. I gave my email address for notification messages, so it would be good if I got a 30-day warning. I only noticed it because I couldn't search on messages!

I love magic shops, it's a great way to annoy the PCs with an irascible NPC owner, soak up excess cash in the form of good one-off magic buys (just in, 10 CLW potions, what, you want ALL of them?) and create adventure hooks

Character Player 95% Tactician 80% Weekend Warrior 75% Power Gamer 50% Storyteller 40% Specialist 15% Casual Gamer 15% But I like Power Gaming so much... nothing better than using all my character's abilities in a single session ... and getting stuff to enhance those abilities ... or is...

IM1 - plot spoiler In IM1, The Immortal Storm, the 6th component to save the multiverse from destruction is found in a trispace plane. The plane is a parallel Earth which developed without fantasy or magic, the only Astral Plane entry ends up in a Manhattan mass-transit system tunnel (for the...

That breaks the command the cleric has over the undead creature IMHO

The reason why we're having this discussion is because the rules aren't clear in this matter. If rebukers are supposed to have the ability to attack rebuked undead with no threat of retaliation from the individual undead so assaulted, why is it not stated explicitly? I'm all for those who can...

Related to Rebuked undead: Can the rebuker attack with impunity?http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=168401 It was my intention to use the Command Undead spell as a guideline to handle the details of commanded undead. With the following additions: 1. Duration is permanent (lasting...

Balance. If you attack the undead you have rebuked, you'd better do it a distance or get someone else to do it. Note that rebuker already have an advantage over turners - they can single out one undead for some close physical abuse, without breaking the awe of the others

Rebuking Someone beat me to the boards. My take on the situation (I'm the DM in the situation above) is that a rebuke has the undead cowering in awe for 10 rounds. As per the good effect, the rebuker can attack them with ranged attacks (from at least 10 feet away), and others can attack them...

Shops plus I'm running a Classic D&D campaign in the Grand Duchy of Karameikos using 3.5 Edition rules. Essentially the presence of such trading entities allows me to handwave to facilitate player's fun ("I want some spell writing materials to transfer those new spell scrolls we found in the...

A new campaign, and one of the players asked me: If you attack an opponent with two weapons and it is a sneak attack, do you get sneak attack damage on both assuming they both hit? My opinion is: The general rule seems to be that one applies precision-based damage only once (cf Manyshot feat...

Not only the massive power differences between individuals, what about the effect of so many powerful forces external to whatever political form of organisation exists? For example, the simple knowledge that spawn-creating undead exist, what effect does that have on the societies that these...

You have to wait for the ink to dry! I'm the player affected by this, so I'd thought I'd give my opinion too. It is odd that the Magic item creation rules state: "The caster works for 8 hours each day" [for a 1,000 gp of magic item/day] while writing a spell (from a scroll or another spell...

Commoner, Merchant, Noble, Emperor I don't remember where I read this, but I once saw the following coin descriptions: Commoner (cp) Merchant (sp) Noble (gp) Emperor (pp) The coinage was referred to by using the name of those levels of society that most used them

DEFLECT MELEE ATTACK (GENERAL, FIGHTER) et al rewrite Each deflection attempt (whether successful or not) uses up an attack of opportunity. This creates a natural limit, so GREATER DEFLECT MELEE ATTACK falls away. The IMPROVED feat allows you to also sacrifice your normal attacks but only as a...

Repost of feat I wanted to avoid weapon-specific details because that makes things complicated. I had a look at the Netbook of Feats. While still getting my head around their Deflect Attack feat, their Improved Deflect Arrows had something interesting: giving up Attacks of Opportunity. See my...

The old D&D Master rules introduced a Weapon Mastery system. IMHO the best aspect of this system was the deflect special effect (melee and thrown weapon attacks) if you picked the right weapon and did the training. I find it hard to believe that a Deflect Melee Attack feat was missed in the...
