A lot of people like the Hexcrafter archetype. Basically it lets you trade Magus Arcana (the class' signature fiddly abilities) in for hexes on an individual basis. This generally means you can pick up Slumber and Will SoL people from level 4 onwards. Having an at-will SoD/SoL on anything in PF is k...

What's a good alternative system for playing Star Was with then? Shadowrun 4e with Adept Jedi and jet pack bounty hunters? Hilariously Archmage and I tried our hand at designing something like this for a bit. We eventually kind of lost interest but it mostly worked. You just map Jedi to mages and c...

This is one of my favourite examples to show people paizo developers are crazy. paraphrased: Frank : evoker rays that do 1d6 dmg are terrible BM : well make the rays do 1d6+int paizo dev : Then a 18 int wizard will do more damage than a greatsword and I can add rogue levels to sneak attack with it ...

In what sense do you mean that? We found that one level N character is roughly equivalent to almost any other level N character. Battles sometimes went poorly for the PCs, but when they did, it was almost always because of bad tactics or players forgetting how their characters worked. Well, we ran ...

We were playing a Legend game that recently trailed off due to scheduling issues. I'd estimate we were at around 15 sessions, we made it to level 9 or 10. The biggest issue is that it just takes a LOT of time to write up opposition, and that it's hard to tell what's an "ok" thing to write ...

I play Malifaux as well and have a good bit of fun with it. Can be hard to find players some places though, so it may not be ideal depending on your location.

The reason Droids are awesome is that because this is a game where specialization is *highly* encouraged, either for combat (via, say toughness) or non combat, via Int (Mechanics and Computers, ie, everything in Star Wars) or Presence (Social dickery), you have more points to spend in the area you w...

I'd be interested in such a thing.

Assuming MA, my preferences would be

1. Ashdod
2. Vanheim
3. Abysia

Okay, so Archmage requested I chime in and write a bit about being railroaded into being the BBEG. As he mentioned, my original character was a windling cleric/sorcerer (cleric being spontaneous casting in OSDM's world) with the assumption that "this is going to totally blow but eh, why not.&qu...

'Z' here. There's one very important houserule my friend above forgot to include. All that "duskblades are overpowered" and "monks are too good" claptrap? Well it turns out in OSDM's world, clerics cast spontaneously, like sorcerers. Yes. No, they still progress spellcasting norm...
