That's good advice StreamOfTheSky For esoteric, I think stuff like energy immunity to all energy types, or ridiculous flight speeds is what he meant. I hope he doesn't have an issue with my current flight speed at any rate. If he does, I'll invest the evolution points into Skilled like you...

The party is all other casters incidentally. I didn't make it to the first session, and all the players made their character independently. Fun fact: they nearly died several times due to having no tank. I know that a barbarian or fighter might be "purer" as a warrior, but they're not very...

I think this is an excellent fix so far. More epic skill uses would be nice, but I'm sure there are more coming. I would particularly like to see some epic uses of Use Magic Device, perhaps allowing the Rogue to substitute her class level for the caster level on items, maybe even her...

So, I am now looking to join a 5th level pathfinder campaign and I have decided to play a Synthesist. What I'm looking to make is a build that satisfies a few criteria (as given by the DM). 1) The Eidolon is to be as simple as possible, granting only stat bonuses, natural armor bonuses, and...

I just had an excellent idea. If you had the ability to grant others incredible luck by being roughly near them, what would you do? Become a Luck Merchant. Think about it. A young nobleman needs an extra edge at the ball, so he hires the Witch to give him that edge. A diplomat needs a safety...

Alright then, the Witch sounds excellent. I'll probably invest my feats into Extra Hex for more variety in my support, and see what I can do for familiars. Since we're on the subject, what Improved Familiars can teleport, and are any of them available to Good characters? In addition, if I can't...

That Bard sounds like it was a lot of fun. Sadly, I can't rely on crystal balls and other items in this game, from what I hear it seems to be low fantasy. Plus, last time I played a character devoted to just recording the adventure (a human LG Factotum), all hell broke loose, 2/3 of the party...

So, I'm going to be playing in a Pathfinder game soon (hopefully), and I'm trying to build a good character. The limitations by the DM are: Human, 25 point-buy, and no starting equipment. No level has been provided yet, so it has to be a build that is viable levels 1-20, though I'm fairly...

I'm just giving advice, Steel_Wind. It works for me, and it helped when I was a new DM, I figured that it might help molepunch too. CR is the best way to go, I agree, but in my experience if your Wizard dies in a single hit from an enemy, the game stops being fun. I've seen a lot of new players...

Pre-made modules are fine, just spend an hour or two going over it, figuring out what all the characters' motivations are, how they might react in strange circumstances etc. and you'll be fine. Me, I go by three main rules: 1) Use plenty of description with the environment, the people, the...

Not quite. The Synthesist is still pretty strong, with the Summoner's spells at their command as well as their class features (like their ridiculously powerful summon monster ability). This would strip the character of those abilities, instead gaining the Eidolon's fairly substantial attribute...

Ask if your DM will let you play as a Summoner's Eidolon (assuming you are a player here). To compensate for essentially being a class feature, ask for hit dice at every level, not 15/20, and for full BAB and standard saving throw progression. Throw in, say, 1 extra Evolution point per level...

I assume you mean their Pathfinder psionic stuff. Their races are pathfinder-balanced, the Elan is now playable as a Wilder (which is 10 levels of awesome), the feats are good, and every class got some new tricks. I've used it in two campaigns, one as a Dm, one as a player. The one I DMed had...

Possibly, an alternate way of increasing the method's power at higher levels would be to make the 3rd level ability allow you to select one option at 3rd level, two options at 7th level, three options at 11th level, four options at 15th level, and get the benefits of all five options at 19th...

How awesome would it be for your character to be directly descended from a god? It's a cool idea, but unless you want to spend your whole class playing a Godling (from Super Genius Games, you can find it on the d20 pathfinder srd), it's difficult to do. Below is my own solution to the problem...

Well, warforged were designed for battle, and yet the have the potential to be made out of WOOD. I figure, if you're willing to accept the idea that, then a living construct not made of metal makes perfect sense to me. There's Glass Golems, for goodness sake. Glass Golems. Somebody, somewhere...

What if they had Carbon Skin as an option? It would allow them to be a druid, and give them another minor benefit. Plus, carbon is pretty strong, so it would work just fine conceptually. Maybe it would give a bonus to swim checks due to lightness or something. Traits sound okay, but since not...

Outside of combat, you will love the fact that the races have been balanced so that they are all useful for any kind of player. Half Elves and Half Orcs got the biggest boost, and the Half Elf is actually one of the best races in Pathfinder now. The +2 to any attribute lends them to any class...

Maybe a good solution would be to remove the DR 1/-, and allow the race to choose from a number of different materials at character creation. Iron alloys would have a larger bonus, but give the vulnerability to rust effects, while non-rusting metals like (presumably) Mithral would have lesser...

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the concept of the book. I would run it in a heartbeat, I would play it in an instant. I just don't happen to have any mature gamers in my area who would be able to play any kind of evil alignment other than Chaotic Evil. Even if they were lawful, they would try to...
