Yeah, Pathfinder Savant. As an Aranea, my race gives me level 5 Sorcerer casting without other sorcerer class features. At level 7, I cast as a level 6 Sorcerer and get one spell off somebody else's list. If your party is level 7, then you should have four class levels by the Monsters as PCs rules....

I actually kind of like Exalted, in a Stockholm syndrome sort of way. It was the first RPG I played. My first character (Twilight Sorcerer/Crafter) died from the very first hit in the very first encounter :( And three sessions later the GM bailed on us. I like Exalted as long as it's not the actual...

In WotC material, Swordsage or one of the rogue-gish classes seems to work the best. For homebrew, there are a bunch of monk or warlock fixes that could work. Quick and dirty warlock fix: EB is 1d6/level and an attack action, 2 invocations per level, upgrade the chassis a bit.

You're either very confused about what parrying is, or you don't understand the basic concept of helmet. I'm not sure which is worse. Alternately, I suppose it could be both, but I'm not sure you can be that stupid and still post on a forum. Parrying, as in an ioun stone that interposes itself betw...

I know, their boast is totally a challenge. What game companies should do to reduce hacking of save files is to create a publicly available method of hacking. However, this method would take 30-45 minutes of effort to enact. Therefore, most people would be too lazy to use it, and the people who wou...

Might cause some issue with Wizard 1/Cleric 1/Mystic Theurge 4; being two 5th level casters in a 6th level world. It gives the versatility, sure, but you've still got the action economy to worry about. Um .... I say again, Automatic Quicken + an arbitrary # of iterations of Multispell. Ya know, sin...

It gives the versatility, sure, but you've still got the action economy to worry about. That's a powerful option, but so is Blackguard 6 or any other 4th level spells in 10 levels class.

They might be mechanically worth it, but damn if it doesn't suck to be an amorphous blob of oil or a half-cactus-half-sea-cucumber.

As for the wacky picture, ugh, Sharn.

Dammit, I can't make a bear-firing gun. SNA/SM is not a targeted spell, so I can't use Conductive or a Spell Storing weapon.

Well yes, but they're asking for money for this one. Also, over a few hundred pages, they could easily surpass their prior stupidity.
