Dang, that stinks. I was waiting to pick it up on my Android tablet, now it looks like I'll be waiting even longer. I hope they continue working on the Android version while they're resolving this dispute.

I found the archetypes round much more enjoyable than the wondrous items. Some of them weren't that original (there were what, five drowning-focused archetypes and eight or so with "river" in the name). Still, lots of cool things - I was especially fond of the Huckster alchemist that gives out...

Some of them seemed interesting, but I did think that there was a lot of flashy stuff there too. RPGSS is always a mixed bag, and lots of things that do well are more exciting than utilitarian. That's part of the contest - since it's a public vote, things that generate that "Oooh! Cool!" do...

I'm not sure rods are great for a magus, unless you have Quick Draw. You usually have a weapon in hand, and need the other hand to do your spellcasting.

Ragechemist is kind of a sucky archetype, in that you can get into a death spiral pretty easily if you fail the Will save to take penalties to Intelligence and Will saves. Once you've started failing, it's going to get worse and worse, and you'll end up comatose by the end of the fight. You'd...

I'd probably fluff Bane as a barbarian, not an alchemist, with his Venom use modeled by rage rounds per day - when he rages is when he supercharges the flow of the stuff through his body. He suffers from withdrawal when he stops using (the fatigue from the rage ending), and I believe there are...

I'd consider a Fighter (Brawler) 4 / Rogue (Knife Master) 7 and fighting with a pair of punch daggers. This build works much better if you plan to move with someone else who's also in combat - you pretty much need a flank partner unless you want to go into the Feint tree far enough to get...

I think it should add to the duelist's CMD. It should count as a 'miscellaneous modifier', per... If all those bonus types apply, then the duelist's canny defense bonus certainly should. I'd probably categorize it closest to a dodge bonus, but insight wouldn't be a bad approximation either...

You can make up to five disarm checks, at the appropriate penalties for fighting with two weapons. You can even attempt to disarm on an attack of opportunity - it can be done any time you can make a melee attack, in place of that attack. Break Guard essentially gives you one extra attack at...

For some reason I'm thinking that the Skull and Shackles Player's Guide included rules for stuff like this. You might check there - I think that's where the rules for piracy-oriented stuff like eyepatches and peg-legs showed up, so it makes sense that's also where the rules are that results in...

Fair point. I need to add some 'in an important situation' kind of text to this. You shouldn't be able to just keep rolling unimportant rolls to refill cunning - my intent was that if you're doing something else rogue-y and do it very well, it refills your cunning.

Probably force is the most unavoidable - I'm not aware of anything that reduces it. Consequently, sources of force damage deal less damage than more resistable energy types. You'll notice that trend a lot. Divine damage is the same way, but there's not many ways to generate that. Untyped damage...

I've put together the following revision to the rogue base class. Please let me know what you think of these changes. There's a lot to it, so I've tried to use sblock tags to break things down a bit into more manageable chunks. The goals of this revision are as follows: Combine the ninja and...

Heh, just getting odd formatting from copying from Evernote to the Dolphin browser on my tablet. It straight-up inserted extra characters into the text. Not sure why.

The heck? I'll clean that up tonight when I'm on my PC rather than a tablet. I see smileys wherever I ended a bold tag. Odd.

Yep, it should. All stat stuff is supposed to be retroactive.

I do like gnolls a lot for sloth. I had forgotten that they're big slavers. Ogres for pride requires a pretty big re-write of the race's backstory - the Irda aren't appropriate for every setting, after all. They work well in Dragonlance, though. Giants might work well for pride too, depending...

That's a very interesting idea that could be a neat worldbuilding hook. Some thoughts - I'm trying to go from the seven sins to races that I think fit them well, rather than listing races and picking their sin. Lust: I'd consider the drow here. They're often portrayed as creatures controlled by...

Ravenous is sort ofa black comedy movie, but it's also a delightfully Deadlands movie.
