@Duke - For self-buffs, you would create a Glyph of Whatever, then step onto it? Because just directly using spells that affect you would end Time Stop. You would use personal buffs with a long duration first, then 24 hour time stop, then rest 8 hours. Or alter the spells range with something like ...

Additionally, as far as I can tell, Modify Memory, Suggestion, and Dominate don't actually do shit during Time Stop. How do you work around While the time stop is in effect, other creatures are invulnerable to your attacks and spells; you cannot target such creatures with any attack or spell. since...

I looked up Lavos and I don't think it has any way of attacking an Allip who just floats around its back petting it like it's a baby goat anyway. For that matter, if you can get onto that thing, I don't think it has any way of stopping you from spamming save-or-dies until it eventually rolls a 1 on...

I'm not sure what you mean; CMB is quite similar to BAB + attack bonuses. Are you suggesting that size should give you a penalty to grappling instead of a bonus? Pathfinder: Base attack bonus + Strength modifier + special size modifier + miscellaneous modifiers + 1d20 = Combat Maneuver Bonus 10 + B...

They might as well have hired Sean Reynolds.(Is that Shadzar's secret identity?)

The first rule of being a good DM is to remember that the rules are a tool that you and the players use to have a good time. The rules aren’t in charge. You, the DM, are the one in charge of the game. Guide the play experience and the use of the rules so that as many of your players have a good tim...

It seems they still can't check continuity; the mace deals 1d8 damage in the cleric pregen and 1d6 in the equipment table Not fully statted up: You are a high elf or human wizard. You took those two necromancer feats, because one inflicts save penalties and the other gives you an expendable minion w...

Okay, so someone revived that other thread and we can continue the food-related discussions there (I'll be posting there in a bit). I assume, given the lack of criticism on any of them, that nobody takes any issue with my points on literacy rates, social instability resulting from high-level charac...

I've never actually played pathfinder. Is it as broken as the rules as written would suggest?MGuy wrote:Pathfinder coming along is what led me to these forums and a friend of mine bought me the core rule book so it hasn't treated me bad thus far and I haven't had to personally spend a dime to play it.

From one point of view, Leadership is an incredibly broken feat because it gives disproportionate power. From another point of view, Leadership is in incredibly broken feat because it doesn't do anything. At the higher levels, leadership is better, since it can be used to get a permanent army of sp...

Unless I'm misreading what you are proposing, that would require an essentia capacity of 19. In fact, since you get the essentia back after the spell is cast, none of the essentia feats can possibly cost more than 4 essentia, at levels 16-20. For a second feat you could make it 5 essentia; for two ...

Actually, the second quote almost seems sane (because you should design to the npc's abilities, not to an xp value), but the top sounds fucking terrible. NPCs should be designed like PCs, not their bizarrely arbitray monster rules. Though I'm not sure why you think the second is a mistake anyway, s...

Praetor, what you have continuously failed to realize is that in a gestalt game, the strength of each class vs each class doesn’t matter, the strength of each gestalt vs each gestalt does. While the soulborn is normally weak, it can help casters whore metamagic with midnight metamagic. A Wizard/fact...

@True Namers - that I haven't read in a while. They're -1 in the table because originally you were required to take them as a non-magic Gestalt half, and if you're a Wizard anyway you'd rather have saves. So call that an error; but I recall that True Namers had a power level that was heavily influe...
