I agree, Pathfinder is heavy on the rules. I can't imagine someone new to RPGs picking up Pathfinder and attempting to learn it. I'd take a stab and say most of us moved over from D&D, so learning Pathfinder wasn't a big change. I enjoy playing, but GMing Pathfinder is a lot of work. I...

I like your idea. I would suggest looking at your encounter as a movie scene. Then build your mechanics around that. This way you can have an encounter that runs how you would picture it in your mind, without letting the mechanics run the battle.

How do you complete a combat so quickly? How do you deal with a published module if you decide to level pcs every other session?

I am probably not alone here, I think it takes too long to level. I game with a group of 5 players and it takes 3-4, 4 hr sessions to level. Our group is now trying to give bonus xp for completing several encounters before taking a daily rest. This will make it faster to level, but then...

If there is a feat that allows you to stay invisible after an attack, then that supercedes the original rule. Thus you would become visible at the end of your next turn. Is this the answer to your question?

NADs. Now that is a poetic way to put it. LOL

No. I'd say epic is having a wife. I've been married 14 yrs, so that would make me level ...34?

Because we have a creative spirit. This game is a way to express that, and to enjoy that creativity with friends.

I stand corrected. I was always playing grabbed=restrained in our campaign. Now that I realize it's ony immobilize. Thanks for the correction.

I believe they would move together, just like the mounted combat rules update. If the mount is moved, the rider goes with it. Teleport being the exception.

This is one problem with having 2 good defenders. They need to work together and plan ahead on who should be marking who. And, figure out ways to get their marks triggered.

Keep in mind the new rules update, push, pull, or slide no longer break a grab. Teleport does.

I have been playing D&D on and off since the early 80s. I began playing again towards the end of 3.5 and then switched to 4E. I am not a power gamer by any means, but this book made me revamp my dwarven brawler fighter. And I'm not even halfway through the book! If you love D&D then this...

I suppose you could just use the rules for moving a grabbed opponent but just move them over the cliff instead of into a square you occupied. They would still get their save though.

I think you've had some thoughtful responses. You just need to house rule something and "make it so number one" (Cpt Picard)

I have read that if any condition occurs that prevents one from taking an opportunity attack, their grab immediately ends. So daze, stun and blind come to mind. But if the PCs don't have any of these conditions to inflict, the rules as written give no other option for breaking a grab on an...

What if you want to grab the character out of the mezzodemon's grasp? Would you suggest a strength check against its Fort or Reflex? Or would you suggest opposed strength checks?

This just happened in a game this week. One player wanted to grab an unconcious player from a mezzodemon's grab. The player rolls a strength attack against the unconcious player's reflex( -5 def) and is sucessful. The mezzodemon is trying to run off with the unconcious PC, while the other...

I agree, it is not logical. I think doing away with the 3 damage, and instead using the d6 or d8 from the gauntlet (if you've taken that feat for extra damage) will replace the static damage in my campaign. I will see if this ends up being too much of a power creep as players start using magic...
