That quote I used in the cooking example for -6 or -7? It's part of a list of examples for +10 to -10. Unless it's some sort of cake worth televising, wedding cakes are comparatively easy. People make them on a regular basis for a career, though it is somewhat of a specialty. That puts it somewhere...

Further down the page he reveals that he's using standard (if fancy-looking) playing cards, but he doesn't say how--that is, if there's a look-up chart or anything. Multiple numeric randomizers a la Deadlands is usually a sign of a disunified resolution system, so that's a strike. I'm actually more ...

The sane reading of the spell is that it negates effects that make it difficult to move, but has no effect on effects that take away your actions. So Stunning, Dazing, and Nauseated would all apply normally. You can't even make a terribly convincing argument otherwise. So although freedom of moveme...

Freedom of Movement
There's some debate on the exact effects of the spell freedom of movement, even, unsurprisingly, in Pathfinder.
How does the Den parse this spell? For example, at your table does the spell make the affected creature immune to dazing and stunning?

So I'm trying to write a dystopian future for a game where the corporations grown so powerful as to take over the government. Is it subtle and just sort of understood or is it the White House Sponsored by Pepsi? There are vast gulfs between the rich and the poor, with the wealthy never aging and li...

The 3rd-level Drd spell coral growth . Enough castings could create complex, possibly evn enclosed coral mazes.

Possible Bidding Mechanics
How does the information for bidding get organized on-page? In most gamebooks I've seen, combats look like "The wolf attacks you. You fight it. [stat block.] If you win, turn to, if you lose, turn to". Since bidding depends on hiding some information from the player, though, we'd have to ...

I think there is some amount of mental gymnastics that allows for (some) supers. While it's sort of easy to justify pre-existing costumed do-gooders, justifying their genesis is a great deal harder. There is seriously no good goddam reason why Batman wears a bat costume and fights crime when A) he ...

Knowstones and Bards
I knew by asking that eventually the magic chalice would rear its ugly head. Fuck that example. Good God, that shit creates way more problems than it solves.

So rules as written, you have two choices with the Knowstone as a Bard. The first is that you can emulate the first level of a class that has the class feature to add spells to your Bard Class List. There are many, and the DC would be 21. Having done that, you'd then expend one of your Bard spell s...

The way I read it, you trade some powers for the ability to refill your fiddly resource points with a bag of rats between fights. Does that really work? Even if you do that, is it any good? The good part is then taking 2 levels of rogue, selecting the ninja trick rogue talent and then the forgotten...
