    New to GMing, over my head (WoD)

    Okay, you have the basic genre (urban fantasy/horror), and the big idea (supernatural internet), plus some of your setting (modern earth). There is more of the setting that needs to be fleshed out (like what else exists in your world in terms of the supernatural, etc.) but you can at least start...

    Anyone ever try a druid/sorcerer mystic theurge?

    Okay, let me summarize a bit: You are restricted to the core book only. You want someone who solves problems with their brain, not their muscle. You also want someone who can socialize well, as well as possibly being a back-up healer. Using the core book, I can really only think of three...

    Anyone ever try a druid/sorcerer mystic theurge?

    I'm not quite understanding exactly what you want to do. Can you go into a little more detail about your background, what you want to do in and out of combat, and what direction your character wants to go? Also, you say you already have a cleric and a wizard. What is the rest of the party...

    Building a good wizard?

    If you haven't seen it before, I recommend taking a look at Treantmonk's guide. https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcNyxDTKvAmqZGRtZzhzdjZfMTFmNXdwM2ZjeA&hl=en It's a little out of date, but still has some great ideas.

    Epic! Yes. Fail? Maybe.

    The thing is WoTC used to get it. Anyone remember Primal Power? You know, the very first book WoTC ever published? Chock full of ideas on how to create and play at the divine level. They just need to reach back into the mists of time and recover what they lost.

    Clarification of weapon listing for a noob!

    As an example, let's say it's a 4th level ranger with 18 dex and using the archery combat style (choosing the rapid shot feat as his second level ability). In addition, one of the feats he chose was weapon focus: Longbow. As a 4th level ranger, his base attack bonus is +4. (base attack...

    Suggestions for Fighter/Bard.

    Personally I'd go straight arcane duelist (bard archetype from APG), with maybe a 1 level dip in fighter to get all martial weapons (If you really want the greataxe in the picture). stat distribution I'd go str - cha - dex/con - int/wis. Sample build 30 point buy str 18 (16+2) dex 14 Con 14...

    Has the Vancian Magic Thread Burned Down the Forest Yet? (My Bad, People)

    Just an FYI, Pathfinder is coming out with a new alternate magic system in the Ultimate Magic supplement, called words of power. They did an early playtest for it already, and hopefully they will do another one before it is finalized.

    Gamebreakers

    Now I want to play in an evil campaign, just so I can play the Toady. Yes Massster! Of course, Massster! Please don't hit Toady, Massster!

    Creepy Atmospheric Music suggestions?

    I like E.S. Posthumus' music, and I've recently discovered Vitamin String Quartet.

    Techniques for running a predominately urban campaign

    1. Possibilities to why they can't count on the law: The law is corrupt. Either the city government itself is evil, or certain parts of it are. One of the major subplots is going to involve overcoming the authorities. Alternatively, the law is competent, but the PCs are criminals. The law...

    Asymmetric gaming worlds

    To the average commoner, magic items are expensive. Very, very expensive. A competent commoner earns 5-10 gold a week. A simple +1 sword would cost 4 to 5 years the salary of even a skilled commoner. It's like asking why everyone in modern times doesn't own their own private jet. Most of the...

    Best 3-person party?

    Are you the GM? If that is the case, I would suggest a wilderness campaign. Recommendations: Barbarian Druid Bard Barbarian is front line, killing things. Druid (and his animal companion) as backup and healing. Archer bard (covers ranged, skills, and arcane power.)

    CHA, huh, what is it good for?

    I use Charisma as how much the universe likes you as well... ie, as a luck stat. If something happens that would usually be resolved by rolling randomly, I have them roll their charisma. For example, if two characters have an equal chance of being attacked, the person with the lowest charisma...

    What Makes A Great Man?

    A great man is someone who, in the end, has made the world a better place just for him being in it.

    I so... SO ... want to turn this into an adventure.

    My favorite campaign I ever ran was an X-files based modern game, where the PCs were recruited by a shadowy government agency. Every episode was based on the track list of "Apollo 18" by They might be giants. Season 1: Episode 1: Dig my Grave - Intro to game, zombie episode. Episode 2: I...

    Why can't I hit anything or do damage?

    Okay, so you get 5 feats at 2nd level, and everyone basically gets spirited charge for free... right. Feats: Brew potion, mounted combat, power attack, weapon focus: Greatsword and ride-by attack. I agree with Particle_Man, Go with potions of true strike. Tactics: With ride-by attack, you...

    Pathfinder fighters - anything I should know? (build advice)

    A couple of things... If you go two-weapon fighting, you're going to want Improved Shield Bash, so you can keep your AC bonus when bashing people. Also, the light shield counts as a light weapon, the heavy shield does not. Also, dodge is now a simple +1 AC, so you may want to look at that...

    The Next Most Unrealistic Power

    That's the thing. In 4e, fighters aren't guys with swords, they are magic users, whose source of power is something called Martial. Through intense training and dedication, they have accessed the magical powers contained within them. One of the "spells" they can cast is a 15 foot compulsion...
