The Gaming Den

Feat/class ability/skill effect is a hot mess. If you want to avoid an AoO while moving, you use a skill effect. If you want to avoid an AoO while shooting, you need a class ability. If you want to avoid an AoO while tripping, you need a feat. It's the same, except some designers decided to have thr...

The hell is that summoner sucking? Those guys kick ass if built right. Pouncing eidolon with a fuckton of natural weapons, rend, and other things should be owning face. Actually, I think a summoner is better if he take the master summoner archetype, use a skill-based eidolon (eg a face eidolon or a...

Everyone makes sense at time. Even Shadzballs. Even SKR.

Even me.

What matters is the ratio (times you make sense)/(times you don't).

I agree with icyshadowlord, it's useless to state that SKR is an idiot and a troll.

Except I feel better each times I state it.

They are now arguing that the monk shouldn't be able to full-attack after moving, because it would allow a monk to kill an unprotected wizard sometimes.

On the paizo's forum, there are topics to create new and more balanced version of the monk and the rogue. The general idea is "since those class are weak, let's give them new abilities. And let's add some trade-off for those abilities, since if there's no trade-off, the new class will be more p...

Two weapon fighting is just totally balanced, 'cause you're using up two feats to double your favored enemy, smite, and weapon spec. damage, right? That's worth 4+ feats, right? Actually, that's pathfinder's game-design: the two-handed fighter can deals more damages than anyone else, if he use all ...

I have to admit I was a bit extreme. But once you've written "ice tomb, accursed hex" on your sheet, there's really little differences between having 6 other funny hex or having only 4 other funny hex and a medium BAB.

Actually, the best way to play a magus is to play it like a witch (with the hexcrafter archetype). It's not even a witch-lite, since you have the same hex...

Shadow clearly thinks that when people level up in session they just...level up in session and have pre-plotted builds. That's what do peoples who have enough understanding of Pathfinder to bitch about the game on internet. That's obviously my case. That's yours. That's Shadzar's Ball case also. So...

What I want to know is why the fuck is it taking so long to level up? Write down a few more HP, your save boosts if any, your BAB changes if any, pick a spell or two, possibly pick a feat, possibly write down a class feature and you're done. It might take a full minute if playing a complex class. Y...

Paizo posted the backstory of their Witch iconic. She was kidnapped and raised by hags, and escaped with help from her familiar and some kind of nature magic that killed off the hags when they chased her. I found it pretty garbage. While their initial inspiration for witchs already provide a good b...

area effects don't destroy mirror images.

But don't we all need some trolling every now and again? Off to the Paizo boards, though I truly hate their layout with a burning passion. We all want to be trolled hard from time to time. But at some point, you should stop it, or do it in a more intimate place if you really enjoy it (for example u...

I've never been trolled so hard as that forum, and I've been the Den for some time. Does it really surprise you? you can't be trolled on the Den, unless you want it. Look: Pseudo Stupidity want to be trolled by Shadzar's Balls, and therefore he is trolled very hard; you don't want, and therefore yo...

"Picking Incantatrix" isn't a combo. Incantratrix is a PrC from an osbcure splatbook. As far as I remember, it's not even a generic splatbook, Incantatrix exists only in FR. "Casting Glibness, then lying through your teeth" isn't a combo. Glibness throw you out of the RNG for bl...

Actually, if you look at it superficially, casters are weaker and fighters are stronger than in 3.5. Casters gain 2 HP/level and some shitty at-will abilities while some powerful spells are nerfed, that's not a boon. ... But the keyword is "superficially". the most powerful options of cast...

Oups, I didn't notice that "TOZ" was an alias of "TriOmegaZero" (on the Paizo's board). *ashamed*

Since the thread isn't about Pathfinder any more, can I ask what "TOZ" stand for?

No offense, you're not the only one in this case.

The flight rules are a big pile of giant frog, but nowhere do they actually say that a flying creature can't be tripped. Pathfinder's trip rules: Trip You can attempt to trip your opponent in place of a melee attack. You can only trip an opponent who is no more than one size category larger than yo...

Didn't you said we shouldn't respond to Shadzar's Balls?

I really should stop posting at the Paizo forums. It's clear to see that they have no idea what the fuck they are talking about when it comes to the fact that Fighters really can't have nice things and that their "perfect game" is flawed as hell. Some of them are retarded (or insane) enou...

This:

Monsters can't rake in the round they initiate the grapple. With +1 init, someone else should act before the behir maintain the grapple. What did I miss (*)? (*) except for the fact that pathfinder's behir is awfully-written. It has 6 rake attacks, but the rake ability states that maintaining a grap...
