That's about right.

Would a multiclass Rogue and Tome Assassin be able to add sneak attack damage to every death attack? Is a multiclass Rogue and Tome Assassin a good idea? One of my players wanted to try one. IMHO any Assassin PC is not a good idea. It normally ends up as two separate games: One normal and one where...

Josh Kablack's post is very well-stated. +1 from me. Removing or preventing conditions and seeing through illusions by mid-levels are important. You can do this with magic items easily enough. Things like fast travel and divinations are not because the Big Bad Guy tends to wait around for you to get...

It had something to do with worshiping Kurtulmak iirc, it's a relic of the god of Koe-Bolds.

Just watched all of Unforgotten Realms yesterday. Funny as hell.

There is a feat in Pathfinder to make your Astral Construct last hrs/level. If he gets into combat he only lasts rnds/level. He takes a -2 to attack and he gets one less slot A ability, but he also gets full BAB in Pathfinder. The 7 power point version can fly and take the whole party. It might take...

When you buy a new key it conjures up etherial workmen that expand your house. They can install water slides or nacho cheese fountains or whatever. I wish I still had the layout for the Eberron game I had this in. The teenage Sorceress had posters of famous Bards in her room. The Necromancer had und...

We call it "George's Key". It's a key, stick it into any vertical surface of something larger than yourself and open a door to your pad. More expensive keys equal better digs of course. Normally you find basic townhouse level keys around level 5-6. Players love this shit, I'm not exactly s...

A simple way to do it.. BRUISED 10 or 15 feet fall: Make a check or take half your max HP in non-lethal damage. HURT A 20-foot fall:Make a check or take half your max HP in damage. If this would take you into negative HP, you are DYING. 25, 30 or 35 feet: Make a check or you are DYING instead of HUR...

Not really saying it would bring fighters up to wizard level. Wizards would be more powerful with the buff anyway, I'm just saying it might give the fighter something to do. Even if he's just the wizards pet bulldog he can thrown at another wizard instead of a spell. It's better than shining his boo...

In other words: Give casters high SR, like level+15 to 20. A spell, a class feature, whatever..

Eliminate cheap ways to bypass SR and now you need fighters again, to kill casters.

Counter-intuitive maybe, but would it work?

How about just combing through DeviantArt until you see something you want to use and then negotiate a fee to use it?

Sounds like it would be less expensive and you'd get exactly what you wanted.

I cant find the rule for carrying capacity while flying in Pathfinder. Can I cast Ant Haul on my Bralani summons and have him carry the whole party?

Does anyone know?

To keep it simple, ban.. 1) Spells affecting other spells 2)Anything that reduces the level of a metamagic effect and then go through all the higher level spells in the PHB. Ban whatever you don't want your players to be doing (planeshifting, polymorphing, chain-binding vrocks, etc). Ban nothing if ...

Standing Ovation.. Great work sir.

Hydrogen and Helium are both gasses. The necklace of adaptation should work.. with a little rules lawyering.

It sounds like you need to come at this backwards, result first. Figure out how much damage you think your PC should take if he's fired on by 20,100 or 1000 archers. Use your result to figure out a system to reflect that.

If that's really what you want then I'd say use the tier system. It doesn't have a lot of fans around here but it does exactly what you requested.

What problems does this solve, exactly? I was hoping for some more specific criticism but here goes Main Point 1- It eliminates "Dumpster-Diving" (Taking too much game time to figure what to change into) You have to specify what you will change into when you prepare the spell. If you take...

Option 3- More options Level 3 WILDSHAPE As the Druid ability for 1 min/level Level 4 DRACONIC POLYMORPH You may polymorph yourself into a Dragon for 1 min/ level. You take on all the abilities and statistics of that Dragon, including any breath weapon, ex or su abilities or spellcasting (you lose y...

Option 2- Do the actual work. POLYMORPH LEVEL 4- S/W Range: Personal Verbal, Somatic and Material Focus Duration: 1 min/ level Polymorph tranforms you into a specific type of creature , chosen at the time the spell is prepared, for 1 min/level, allowing you to take on some of the abilities of that c...

You may choose a creature from the next highest list (SM 6 instead of SM 5 for exampl...
