The Gaming Den

Even if you want to argue that CCP is somehow still the same company just because they bought the IP, the fact is that WoD and the like doesn't have a writing team anymore. From what I understand its just one guy cobbling stuff together from various forums and fan works. I think a PDF only book woul...

This is exactly why D&D has a ton of outsider types (Archons, Djinn, etc.), to separate the outright evil ones ie. Demons and Devils, from the myriad of other mythological and vaguely spiritual things. As soon as we bring real world religion into things then it becomes a clusterfuck of alternate...

I'm not sure they really qualify as demons if they aren't evil though; they just become some kinda extra-planar alien things. Being the embodiment of pure evil and corruption is kind of the definition of being called a demon.

Captain Andoren: WarPriest with throwing Shields: Throwing shields are free actions to throw. Warpriest boosts damage with weapon he has WF in. Now PF Designers suggest no more than 3 free actions and round, but 3 free attacks + BAB attacks is pretty nice. Note you'll need to grab Exotic Weapon Pro...

Normally no, animals don't start with traits like PCs do, you'd have to burn one of your animal companion's feats on the Additional Traits feat to get any. Also you'd need to boost its INT somehow to get it to qualify for normal feats in the first place. Basically Tireless Avenger is only useful for...

I think something to consider too is that time isn't too big a factor for most tabletop games. Assuming you've got six players and an MC each taking a minute or so each per turn you've got like five minutes minimum to read over all your stuff and pick something to do. Mid-level 3.x wizards can easil...

Its basically a trap ability that you will never use; PF has loads of these and the devs don't seem to care. It really only has any use if your MC is some kind of "realism" nazi and make you roll for shit like running down a hill.

To be fair Paizo occasionally erratas stuff to be better; they changed the Prone Shooter feat so it actually does something now for instance rather than negating a nonexistent penalty.

...not that they do this very often but it does happen.

I dunno the Driver seems to come close to being that dumb. You know, give up trapfinding on your rogue to lower driving DCs by 2 for all the times you have to use the shitty chase rules.

On the other hand, if I were going into a PFS game, I'd take the two "+900 starting gold" traits (Chosen Child, Rich Parents) unless I were a caster, in which case I'd just select 3 "+x caster level" traits. Probably for a scalable cantrip, if possible. Except you can't because ...
