Let's have a Touhou thread. What's the worst that could happen?

If your physical ability scores aren't too hot, synthesist summoner is pretty damn awesome. Fusing with a 1st level bipedal eidolon resets your scores to 16 str, 12 dex, 13 con, then adds 11 hp, +1 BAB, +2 natural armour, and 3 points of evolutions, with some pretty good options like +2 con (2 point...

I'm running Jade Regent. The most important thing to know about it is that it lives or dies on whether or not the PCs enjoy playing MTP with the NPCs travelling with them. The AP introduces a dumb little relationship minigame to help the interaction along, but it's unlikely to make anybody care by i...

So should we be expecting nerfs to terrain-editing, illusions, extra tokens, stealth, and flight then? Those things typically and asymmetrically bone supposedly high-level critters made by unwitting designers. Oh no, I'm sure it'll still be possible to become fully immune to half the mythic bestiar...

I predict that when they come out with their mythic adventure path, their mythic bad guys will almost certainly be beatable by a party of non-mythic adventurers. I'm not so sure about this one. I suspect this will get pointed out in the first round of playtesting, and it will be resolved by tacking...

Troll . The species . Holy crap, half these posts are off-topic (Radiant) or about something entirely different. Troll = function of monster, not species of monster. I'm pretty sure the original intent was, in fact, to figure out how to troll players with a monster. I assumed he meant a closet trol...

I can't be bothered to read the whole thing, because at a glance it still looks really shitty. Am I missing something?

Yeah, there isn't an argument after all due to the X for the purposes of Y clause in the DR entry, even though the incorporeal subtype changed. This is still a problem in Pathfinder, of course.

I don't know much about epic weapons - do they count as magic. Can the Lavos hit an allip with any of its attacks? I see they're epic adamantine for the purpose of overcoming DR. But that doesn't make them capable of hitting incorporeal creatures, does it? Not unless someone casts Magic Fang on it ...

I'll go over the changelog later. A typo for the meantime: Acrobatics (Dance on Clouds) gives two DCs, 30 in the paragraph and 28 in at the bottom. A non-bug related question for you LeadPal. You said it was rough but mostly working. Does that mean that the non-casters feel like they have similar ut...

A static DC is easy to exploit. Inspector Clouseau has a -3 (0 ranks, +2 int) to Appraisal, and takes 10 to Detect Forgery on everything. If he's inspecting a person who is not disguised, he fails the base DC of 12 by 5 and concludes that he is indeed the real deal. But if he inspects an impostor w...

I'm trying to come up with a Perception cheat sheet, since it's causing my players grief; the minigame writeup got blank stares, honestly. Taking most of the above as a given, this is what I've got: [Good spoiler stuff, that will likely be stolen] Well, format stolen anyway. Actual word theft would...

Thanks for pointing these things out. I appreciate that you took enough time with the rules to find them. My pleasure. There's a lot of rough patches, but the system mostly seems to work. [hr] On Perception The lack of swift and immediate actions in pacing is a straight up oversight though. Somethi...

You can get Blindsense with 6 ranks of Dowsing, but you can't foil it unless you have 10 ranks in Stealth. Since it can't be foiled, the -15 for using a Rank 6 ability with only 4 ranks isn't relevant, so literally any 1st level fighter could and should be walking around with blindsense. Even just s...

That eerily describes the PF group I ran for Council of Thieves. The rogue wasn't single dagger but falchion. The wizard stuck to being a magic missile specialist all the way through without bothering with fireball; I had let him take the Magic Missiler PrC from one of the older Dragon magazines. T...

Myself, I can't see Nyarlathotep as anything other than Princess Nyaruko.

Long time lurker, first time poster. This idea is so fucking awesome that I felt the need to sign up just to say so.
