That origin does make the cleric make way more sense. Thanks for the article! Cheers! Kinak

I'd largely dropped out of the 3.x loop, waiting to see whether 4e would be an improvement (like we found 3.0 over 2e). Part of it was the changes, like channel energy and sorcerer bloodlines, but a lot was just being impressed with Paizo's general corporate ethos and approach. We got the...

Occult rituals basically do whatever the GM wants them to. So, it's exactly as feasible as you want it. As far as dickishness, it depends a lot on how you frame the ritual. If you're up front with the fact that they don't control its final form, you're great. Within the ritual format, you could...

Yeah, the way casters are set up in Pathfinder, just removing the spells/day limit would mess up the game pretty badly. Sorry to say, but your GM is absolutely right. As a witch, you do have hexes, which can generally be used as often as you want (or one per day per target for some hexes)...

If you don't want to half them, you could alternately have the channel cost two uses if it's hitting both living and dead targets. Really good for fights against the undead, but would also burn through resources that might have come in handy later. Choosing how many dice heal and harm could...

To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a Paizo feat that allows this. There's probably a 3PP somewhere that does, though. The closest I know of is the Twinned Channeling of the Envoy of Balance which lets you use both positive and negative energy, but still only effect the living or the dead...

Yeah, they mentioned this several times in relation to people being worried about what would happen to Pathfinder if PFO went under. And, as you say, it's standard practice. It prevents damage from spreading and, even if things go well, helps keep the books a lot tidier. Cheers! Kinak

I have't seen any higher level ones, but the PFS Pregens include all the occult classes at 1, 4, and 7. Cheers! Kinak

Back in the 2e days (jr. high and high school for me), we had one player that played a straight knock off. Like... changed the first name and that was it. Was still a Do'Urden, even though we weren't in the Realms. The IP infringement was a source of derision, but never really a huge deal. He...

I backed the first Kickstarter and received everything promised. And we're running through Emerald Spire right now, which wouldn't exist except for the second Kickstarter. So I feel the opposite of ripped off, actually. Best wishes to those who have lost their jobs and, just as much, those who...

Yeah, we have a steel d20 from an Iron Heroes product that nobody is allowed to use. Both because it destroys tables and because it's super noisy on anything it doesn't destroy. Huh, yeah, aluminum might actually work really well. Cheers! Kinak

I'd agree with delericho. The same rules should apply to channel energy and other supernatural healing. Warforged can definitely repair themselves (and be repaired by the appropriate spells). For the Heal skill, Long Term Care definitely wouldn't work, but I'd actually consider allowing Treat...

Great work! Really like the look of the new blocks. This is also something of a dream of mine. To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a product like this out there yet, but it's possible I've missed it. With the "Not usable on consecutive rounds." you could probably remove the checkboxes for...

I'd be tempted to use Dreamscarred's psionics rules for Dark Sun because there's not really an equivalent to a wild talent in the Occult stuff. Psionics and occult stuff carry a slightly different tone. I'd probably use occult stuff in Eberron and Forgotten Realms, but psionics in Dark Sun and...

I always knew Mario was up to no good.

I also found it a bit difficult to read, but I think it may be an artifact of being shrunk down on my screen. It may be fine at full size. Cheers! Kinak

Our group was curiously split. We have some old-timers (both coming with us and folks we hang out with at the Con every year) and some newer gamers. The newer gamers didn't much care, but they also had no contact with 5e at the Con other than hearing oldtimers talk about it. They demoed plenty...

You're probably looking for a setting that has organizations baked into it's essence. I agree Planescape is a good one, with the factions or their factols as Icons. Rokugan (Legend of the Five Rings) also has a good structure for this, with the emperor and clan champions. For Eberron, I'd be...

This book is more akin to Inner Sea Gods than the Advanced Race Guide. It's about how the races fit into Golarion (specifically the Inner Sea region, as the name implies). There will definitely be some crunch, but expect mostly story information. If you own any of the * of Golarion (Elves...

This year, badge sales started in late January and housing opened right after that. The housing situation changed a bit this year (from first-come-first-served to a lottery system that didn't crash their servers). No word yet whether they'll be doing the same thing for 2016, but I'd suggest...
