bracers of falcon's aim shouldn't break people's characters I think? Bracers are 1/day 1 minute, standard use: I mean, if they at least nerfed it to divided up in 1 rd uses like Boosts of Speed: it might be decent still sucky, but decent. At this point UMD and Wand of Falcon's aim is better for pri...

And why can't fighters ever get nice things? I don't know what to tell you -- most of the PCs I've seen using weapon cords or jingasas have been spellcasters, not fighters. Especially weapon cords, since spellcasters have a much bigger need to keep one hand free than fighters do. Why can't fighters...

You listed the Chakra bind twice, because you are being a disingenuous shitbag, and the chakra bind and soulmelds are the exact same things, except that one of them scales with level. You also picked the Gorgon Mask, knowing that 95% of soulmelds in the entire fucking book don't have a per day usag...

Roll under makes for more predictable math than the usual roll+modifier mechanic. Pardon-fuck? I think because you know the DC (after all you are rolling under your own stats) he thinks it is more predictable. But that only works for newbies, no? After playing you should realize how hard the DCs ar...

Eww. This is depressing. On one hand I feel like his attitude to his obligations on a project for which he has been paid in advance is a bit laissez faire, on the other hand, he clearly wasn't prepared for this level of responsibility and shouldn't have been given such a big project to coordinate w...

Ding ding ding! The very first archetype is "Brute," which trades out your Specialization (and good Ref/Will for good Fort) for the awe inspiring power of... large size. That doesn't resize your gear and can damage or destroy it. With all the penalties from a Barbarian Rage. Also you need...

I can name multiple: The Shadow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shadow Shadowhawk loosely: http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/s/shadhawk.htm Fallout 4 has the The Silver Shroud The Phantom The Whistler radio/films. The Spider Most had radio shows in the past. The Shadow was the inspiration for Bat...

My queermate is going to run Rise of the Runelords, so I'm looking at playing a brawler, because it sounds like fun. I know I'm not going to be making the universe my bitch or anything, but as long I'm having fun, I'm going to try to stop caring about whether I get my cocaine tower and succubines. ...

I'm not sure I understand. Does this poison deal negative strength damage ? How does this work ? If you click the link, it grants an alchemical stacking Strenth bonus based on times you've failed vs the poison save. This stacks up to +6. So yes, negative Strength damage. For a 1000 gold pieces. A s...

Anyone remember Cancer Mage in 3.5, giving permanent Str bonuses.

Well, Pathfinder makes it easier.

Permanent Str bonuses (+6 max) for only 1000 gold.

So pathfinder is bringing out superheroes in Ultimate Intrigue book (archetypes). http://paizo.com/paizo/blog/v5748dyo5likr?The-Most-Intriguing-Classes If you remember the playtest where there was four classes. The feedback was listened to because they combined them into one/two. *Vigilante now has ...

Pretty sure they need to use the Skald archetypes: is there one of those that doesn't emulate the bard ones?

Wait, so drug users/addicts have a higher chance of becoming hezrou?

Do evil people know this? Was this why that guy had blue lips in the D&D movie, he wanted to be a Hezrou in the afterlife?

I never liked that d20 arcane and divine casters worked the same, so I've been differentiating them over the years using a variety of methods. Truenaming from ToM seemed like a good idea when I first read it, but that whole thing is a clusterfuck. I found this thing , and it seemed solid enough, wi...

"Which is the finger held the power to control the world?"

What conversation are you reading? The one where he deliberatly refuses to read the parts where I criticize 3e polymorph and instead relies 100% on the dumb as shit idea that Pathfinder is the only possible alternative. So what you want is magic that meets your arbitrary treshold of "is transf...

SO... Alchemist exists right? There is already a class that has full SA progression and Bard spell progression. How is a Rogue with Bard spell progression and full SA too broken to allow? Because they are balancing toward Core, you don't balance toward non-core: silly that ways leads to being smart...

Good old spiked chain+spring attack? Nah, no reach with spiked chain anymore (one of Jason's nerfs like Rogues). It is worse than a Heavy Flail now. You want the new and improved exotic weapons: Kusarigama (1d3 Slash/1d6 Blunt), double chained kama (1d6/1d6 Slash), Meteor Hammer 1d8 Blunt (while us...

Are there any myths that actually go to D&D levels of power at any part? By this kind of standards, Journey to the West with the Monkey King who can change size and create armies of clones and a crapload of other special powers. Also the christian bible with raise dead and greater restoration a...

Honestly, I like the idea of a campaign where Law won and you need to fill out forms in triplicate to do anything. If someone stabs you in the face, you have a fill out a stabbed in the face form and get a license to be stabbed in the face. You can't even die without a death permit, so you have to ...

So, anyone read the Damnation feats? So, in exchange for your immortal soul, you can take these feats. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/damnation-feats Signing a bargain with a dark power and agreeing to be damned. The more of them you have, the harder it is to bring you back from the dead -- i.e., if ...

In 3.5, you cast Silence on a pebble your fighter or rogue keeps in his pocket. Unresistable 20ft emanation of silence around him for 1 minute/level. Doesn't do anything to knock him down and silence him to death unless you grapple him for several rounds with a huge grapple mod so you continuously ...

If you were playing in an all-vigilante campaign well away from the commoner PF gaming styles I could see the 5-minute delay just being something you'd all work around. If not, it's suicide . Given they're apparently trying to model comic-book superhero secret identities the 5 minutes to get into b...

I really want everyone here to stop what they are doing and start downloading the "Ultimate Intrigue" playtest. Paizo is presenting their new class, the vigilante. It's a batman-daredevil-ripoff, and it. is. Bad. Gloriously bad. The class has base abilities and abilities it gets from choo...

The TOB classes can at least be as relevant in combat at the upper limits of play as casters, That's untrue. Assuming neither party optimizes beyond not taking obvious traps: TOB classes fall behind the damage curve by mid-level. Assuming equal effort on optimizarion: lol no, melees in 3.5 really d...
