In Core, I still like the Shadowstaff. Don't know why it is counts as a majot not a minor though. +4 AC/reflex that stacks with everything: Neat. Except in Bright light: bad Shadow Bolt: Neat ray attack. Summoning goodness. Would totally use. Shield of the Sun: grants spells as a if a 20th level Pal...

Nothing doing. Spellthief is a prestige class you get into after 3 levels of rogue. You go straight from snatching purses to snatching spells. Heck, why not make it an archetype: we can give up trapsense for all those goodies. 1) spellcasting 2) spell stealing 3) Spell absorbing 4) stealing Spell r...

Re: Spell thief
So, looking at the shit disaster that this class was, I was thinking of ways to make something that does that and doesn't suck. Essentially, you end up with a new version of the rogue that can steal spells. What I was thinking is basic rogue progression, but instead of the trap stuff, steal spells,...

Wow, SKR if truthful, says he championed the rights that Vows should be free option (not costing Still Mind), Brass knuckles should jut boost unarmed not be own weapons (he was overruled at the company)... Maybe, just maybe he learned his lesson in WotC and tried to be better, but was told in Pazo, ...

Watch empty body get nerfed like crane wing in errata No, no, that is not the Paizo way. They're just going to slap a level 14 requirement on it (so that by the time you can choose this class ability, the Wizard can just fucking memorize it if he needs it). In two years. In the mean time, though, w...

20 Ranks: Whenever you attempt a caster level check, attempt a Spellcraft check at a –20 penalty at the same DC. If the spellcraft check succeeds, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus on your caster level check. Is this as fucking stupid as I think it is? Why make one check, when you could make two and...

As has been said the Summoner can't actually do much summoning in combat, considerably less than the Wizard. He probably slows the game down slightly just because he's two characters but I really doubt people are having lots of problems with Summoners flooding the field with mobs because they aren'...

Wait, if a Rogue level 2 Crits (rolls a 20), he gets another turn?! Each round. Granted, 5% chance to be better than everyone. That seems better than what Warrior gets though. Then magic at 8th... I'm not seeing how the warrior can match that. Because Warrior gets boon with weapons, but his allies c...

We got this awful thing instead, and it doesn't even work properly for monks. It is a cheaper way at low levels to have enhanced stuff. You get a Vicious Necklace Might Strikes and a Body Wrap +1 for cheaper than a +1 Vicious Necklace. But sadly the trade off, you get the +1 to only one attack. My ...

I will add I'm currently, for the first time in 5 years, playing pathfinder, and the DM made the reasonable call to only allow the Core Rulebook and Advanced Player's Guide, since everything else doesn't just clog up the system but is utterly (and not just occasionally) un-play-tested. I find the a...

I like how the Warpriest is supposed to be a hybrid cleric/Fighter, but is weaker in melee than a buffed Cleric and with 3/4th BAB as worst than Fighter. So you can be a Sacred Fist archetype get feat Crusader's flurry and be full BAB armored Warpriest, but that seems a lot of work to do what it the...

Then the Monk issue, they backpedaled when they realized no one uses flurry like the designers. Man, why the fudge is flurry even a unique rule? The most obvious thing to do would've been giving them the two weapon fighting chain as bonus feats, the other most obvious thing to do is give them full ...

40K only has one movie that I am aware of, which is in the category of not very terrible, at least IMO. What they do have (and had) a bevy of quality computer games.

Casting the spell requires the spell sage to spend 1 full round per spell level of the desired spell if the spell's casting time is normally 1 full round or longer, this is added to the spell sage's casting time. For example, if a spell sage wants to use spell study to cast cure light wounds (cleri...
