Just moved to Seattle for a tech job and looking for a gaming group. My favorite system is pathfinder and my favorite class is bard. I like the role of buffer. I've played many many other systems. I'm in my 30s and have been playing since being a teenager. I'm living in first hill without...

I’ve been slowly working on a big environmental campaign off and on for a couple years. The campaign features a recently opened big stretch of land that was a 1000 plus year DMZ between warring nations. I’ve realized I keep returning to the same tried and true monsters orcs, kobolds, giants...

Hello all, I've gotten myself into a time pickle and need to create a bunch of level 7 pre-generated characters for tomorrow. Can anybody help me out here? I've found these already: http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/pregeneratedCharacters Thanks, -Allegro

I’m building out a sandbox game and I’m looking for interesting vault concepts for players to crack. I’m trying to limit the number of big monsters or safes at the end of the mini-dungeons. For example, a broken flying carpet takes the PCs to the hidden location of the treasure. The carpet is...

Can a spell metamagiced with fell drain (source Libris Mortis on page 27) create wights? From the SRD: A character with negative levels at least equal to her current level, or drained below 1st level, is instantly slain. Depending on the creature that killed her, she may rise the next night as...

The PCs in my campaign are venturing into orc controlled mountains while trailing some orc raiders. The orcs in the region have mastered polearm mountaineering and can jump down 20 foot cliffs or cross small ravines with impunity. If you are curious google “Salto del pastor” to get an idea...

In OOTS 610 in panel 8, a NPC claims bard song is worth at least +2 to break down a door. Inspire competence seems to only give a +2 to skill checks and breaking down a door is a strength check not a skill check. Is this artistic license or can bard song actually do this? -Allegro

I was looking at combat modifiers and found the +1 for higher ground. Does a portable hill or equivalent magic device exist in any of the books? -Allegro

I’m looking for a way to feint for another PC in combat. In my head, I imagined my bard snapping a whip right in front of the orcs eyes distracting the orc from the rogue who is about to slide a dagger between his ribs. Is it possible?

Can a lesser metamagic rod affect a prepared empowered fireball? The fireball is still treated as a third level spell for DC but it is in a 5th level slot.

Any suggestion on how to multiclass a bard with a favored soul? I really like the music aspect of being a bard and the healing shtick of the favored soul. I’d also be great with bard/healer and in a pinch bard/cleric. I have considered the divine bard variant class but to the best of my...

One of my PCs I think had a run in with a Dread Wraith without a save on the constitution drain ability. Any thoughts on the CR rating of this modified wraith? My battered ego would like to think I was horribly outclassed and running was a sensible thing. Wraith

I’m looking for ways a 12th level wizard could help a fighter who is grappled get out of the grapple. Assume the wizard couldn't just kill the monster do to spell resistance. My short list is: Heroics (improved grapple) Displacement (avoid getting grappled again) Enlarge person (bigger) Bull...

Hello I’m trying to figure out the encounter level of a 20x15 foot room full of CR 1 traps. Every square (5x5) is a CR 1 trap. The room can be by-passed and doesn’t need to be overcome. It also would be silly to walk on every square. So my quick calculation is this room has 12 CR 1 traps is...

So I was looking a creating a wizard and I was a bit surprised at how good of a melee buffer a wizard could be. For example a lvl 12 wizard: Magic Tattoo: +1 luck bonus to attacks Magic Tattoo: +2 competence bonus to attacks Heroism: +2 moral bonus to attacks, saves, skill checks Stone Skin...

If a bard researched a 6th level version of the inspirational boost spell, what do you think the effect should be? I’m leaning towards +2 or +3 to the bardic music effect.

I would like to play a sorcerer that becomes a lore master. So the sorcerer has the pesky problem of only having knowledge arcana on the list of class skills. So I have come up with 2 alternatives playing a human with one level of marshal for the class knowledge skills and the able learner...

I’m curious what energy a fire shield spell cast with an energy substitution of acid or electricity would protect from. Would an acid “fire” shield protect against electricity and vice versa?

In games that I have played in charisma seems to be the favorite dump stat for mechanical reasons. I always thought that creating a dull heroic character was a little bit weird but then again I tend to like charisma focused characters. I like to choose wisdom for my dump stat because in...
