The Gaming Den

Was perusing the forum a bit and came again upon this. I might as well post some of my thoughts: "As a standard action you may expend one bardic music to cast the spell greater dispel magic as a supernatural ability; the difficulty class of the saving throw is set by you rolling a perform check...

I like how this class is written in many ways. One thing I am confused a bit about. Domain vs "normal" spells. Regarding the normal spell slots. Can you memorize domain spells in the normal spell slots? I have ruled that you can not. I am just not that sure about my ruling. Also I am using...

Perfect! Thank you!

Ah I forgot I had another question about Blade Barrier. "Wall of whirling blades ringing Cleric up to 5ft away per two levels up to 20ft high that grants cover and does 1d6 Force damage per three Caster Levels to anyone passing through it or attacking through it with a non reach melee weapon.&q...

Hello my players finally reached level 11! I am just confused a little by this wording about the Heal spell. "Ends any and all of the adverse conditions affecting the subject of: Ability damage, blinded, confused, dazed, dazzled, deafened, diseased, exhausted, fatigued, feebleminded, insanity, ...

My Paladin player is actually playing a Swordsage. This ability: "Parry Magic (Su): at level nine, the Sword Saint doesn’t gain Hero’s Heart. Instead, she may use her Ancestral Weapon to parry magic that is targeted at her. She may use an Attack of Opportunity to make an attack roll against an ...

Campaign is still going strong and I have some extra questions. How are the wildshape feats supposed to work? For example magical beast shape “does not grant you any actual spellcasting ability the creature might have.” It works like alternate form here? https://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.h...

Thanks, that's what I thought, I just wanted to confirm it.
Yeah I was talking about slippery mind.

Tome Paladin reached level 6 and had the normal iron will in his character sheet, got confused for 7 rounds in combat.
Its the tome one right? So he had slippery mind?

I will bequeath answers upon you despite my disdain for feats yes including this thing which is my own doing . Interesting. May I inquire why? Too much complexity for not enough value/fun? Originally it was written in to a couple of Disgaeagame classes that they can apply the Enhancement Bonus of a...

Powerful Spell For the cost of +4 Meta-Levels, you may instead maximise all damage. Why nerf maximise spell, is it that abusable? Can't speak to the rest, but this is using the Alpha Nerd Metamagic system. What this means is, if you can cast 5th level spells, you can cast first level maximized spel...

Hello my players are using these and I have some questions so I might as well ask them here. Might and Magic has "Requirements: ability to apply the Enhancement Bonus of a type of equipped weapon to your Caster Level, Spell Penetration, Spell Duration, spell attack roll, spell damage or Save DC...

Wow nice, awesome, thank you!

Thanks for responding, tbh I care only about the original authors opinion, I also wanted the general dens opinion.
I will probably make another thread for the monk. I am not sure how to treat the Styles when out of combat.

I guess can't evaluate how much "Having 'the right spell' is less of a potential problem since the spell list is heavily focused on combat options." is true, so I generally defer to the intent of the author since he likely understands the class better. We are level 3 now and I allow sponta...

I am actually using this in 2025, does anyone know if the spell casting is spontaneous or do you need to memorize the spells?

Ok, got most of what you wrote Chamomile, some further clarifications: Usually I recommend to groups that they play my stock Pathfinder campaign Sihedron, which is Frankensteined together from a dozen-ish different Pathfinder APs in such a way to make them more open and sandbox. A dozenish? I have t...

Thanks for answering! I use aspect classes for NPCs and recommend new players use them for themselves. The preconception that core is more accessible than anything third-party is evidently so extremely strong that it overrides even me directly telling people that these classes were specifically desi...

Likewise, the vast majority of people want me to run an AP, and while I do clean up APs a bit, I mostly run them as they're printed, both because people pick them for a reason and while the AP writer may or may not deliver on that reason, I don't really know what that reason is (and players are rar...

from the monk's text: These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the monk is flat-footed. She loses these bonuses when she is immobilized or helpless, when she wears any armor, when she carries a shield, or when she carries a medium or heavy load. So yes it is supposed to stack wi...

Ok it seems your mp are your wisdom score and likely your will save. So lets say around 20 wisdom and 12 will save at level 20. 32 mp's? That literally less than 4 9th level spells. Maybe knowing extra schools/spending slots in knowing extra spells should increase your mp?

Is it just me or are armor and weapons not worth it?

If trained saves add their effects immediatly, like spend a slot to get good reflex and add it your ac, then they are no brainers.

Propably sth like 2*hp, all saves(3), +level to spells readied, divine class group, transmutation would be ideal?

Ok certain things I am seeing, because I propably haven't delved into and liked the Tomes enough. Or my style of play is much lower power than the board's. -Heal at will from first level for the Crusader is bold, but I guess it cuts the bullshit needed to deal with the game. -The AC on the monk on l...

Hmm pushing someone towards the rage route means pushing them towards the strength based melee route and I think there is an easy way to make being dex focused worth it, while barely increasing the wordcount. First just by the virtue of having sneak attack you push them towards dex, so maybe it shou...

This is interesting, I have my own rules for an only core 3.5 game, so I can appreciate this. Hopefully you will have fun with this. Some thoughts: - If we are using core feats, aren't your own feats no brainers? Everyone would want an animal companion and the Knave will be pushed toward the rage ro...
