Assuming that your GM or whatever won't let you choose multi-powers or pick up tricks that let you reconfigure your powers on the fly, what's the best way to spend your points for maximum combat and adventure-solving effectiveness? Not being able to use alternate powers is very, very rough. Remembe...

Getting into MT 4 levels early is still probably weaker than straight wizard / cleric IMHO. Disadvantages you need multiple attributes (lower dcs, less bonus spells) you'll always be a spell level behind, lower caster level checks (spell resistance, concentration etc.) less high level spells. no cl...

Favored Class bonus for extra hit points is kinda nice. And if you play a specific kind of sorcerer, you can spend your favored class bonus on extra spells known. I'm assuming the former is what they were thinking of. Man, I wonder if I could actually get that early-access loophole to fly in the Is...

Speaking of hidden changes, Eldritch Knight and Mystic Theurge can be entered a lot earlier now. Here's the ruling: http://paizo.com/paizo/faq/v5748nruor1fm#v5748eaic9qow So you can go Fighter 1/Scryer Wizard 1/Eldritch Knight +. This is actually a positive change, but if you read the ruling it does...

Out of morbid curiosity I've kept reading Mythic Adventures. In a (very abstract) way it reminds me of Bo9S. Not mechanically mind you. It seems like an attempt to see what the fan base will tolerate mechanics wise. A rather timid and ill conceived attempt, but an attempt none-the-less. I'm going to...

You're going to have to refresh my memory. Was there some rage power where you could spend a whole bunch of rage points at once that I'm forgetting about? Pretty much all the current rage power have a limitation of 'once per rage'. With rage points you could spam the same power on every attack and ...

So I read part of Mythic Adventures. What's really galling is that all the mythic versions of fighter feats are what fighter feats should be already. Maybe Paizo is secretly afraid of melee classes that are merely underwhelming instead of sucking outright. That would explain dropping rage points fro...

I think a tier system can work if all the players are close in skill, like tournament players in a fighting game. And if the things they are rating are somewhat similar, like Ken vs Ryu and not Angel Summoner and BMX Bandit. Since playing with a group of similarly skilled players with similarly powe...

I'm beginning to doubt that the SR5 developers regularly play the game. They seem fine with increasing the size of SR4's already large dicepools, which to me seems to bog down gameplay. For instance they increased the weapon damage codes by ~1.5 and did the same to armour. Armour encumbrance only co...

I got to skim through the 5th edition book recently, it's basically what you expect it to be. I liked them bringing back priorities but everything else was pretty meh. They seem to have lowered the drain on most spells, between one and two points. I don't recall if it's resisted any differently in 4...

GitS actually does let people prevent hacking by shutting off their external connections, which is how Section 9 got their asses kicked by the special forces guys. In the GitS:SAC dub they call it going into 'autistic mode'. They don't do it all that often but it does come up. For instance in the 2...

It seems to me that the design team for Shadowrun has really changed since 4e came out and now. Just from the previews I don't think the new crop has the same savvy with mechanics as the old, albeit that may be a limited sample space. So are the good designers being drowned out by the new guys, are ...

Posts like that make me think that the Bo9S has erroneously convinced people that the problem with sword-based characters (not the fighter, sword-based characters in general) is that their narrowly-focused fighting powers don't kick enough ass. Not that the problem isn't that supernatural sword pow...
