'A multiclass fighter-rogue with some hypothetical feats can approximate the concept' covers pretty much every class that does not cast spells. Sorcerer and cleric are sufficient to cover pretty much every spell-casting concept (and most non-casting concepts), and that's still not a good reason to g...

I don't entirely know what that means. Do you mean moving away from crafting being split up among several types and having to put ranks into each type of craft separately? If that's what you mean, then I'm moving away from it because it makes the skill very low value compared to other skills that a...

The ranger works best as a guide: A rogue can sneak, but a ranger can help her friends sneak. Do you think that kind of distinction between class is good when you have Cleric/Wizard/Druids being masters of all trades though? I feel that if it's a game with Clerics/Wizards/Druids then the ranger's n...

The ranger works best as a guide: A rogue can sneak, but a ranger can help her friends sneak. They also have the flavor of being woodsy, but as people have said, the 'protector of nature' thing is for druids, not rangers. I wrote a short class along those lines about five years ago, the hunter: http...

This is probably old news, but Pathfinder has a 'race builder': http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/advancedRaceGuide/raceBuilder.html I was trying to figure out what 'race points' were for, and based on my googling the race builder is it.

'Money is speech' doesn't hold any more water than 'votes are speech'. Speech, money, and votes are all relevant to the electoral process, but they are all fundamentally different things. That money can increase the number of people that 'hear' a person's speech, and that speech can influence votes,...

Since it is new posts by Pathfinder people week... Ultimate Campaign's traits were astoundingly terrible. My favorite is Tireless Avenger, which lowers the DC for a forced march to 10+1/hour instead of +2/hour. But only when tracking a favored enemy. And only when saving against lethal damage. Note...

Pathfinder has some really amazing feats . I would basically never use that even if it didn't cost a feat. Admittedly, it at least does something . It's not as bad as that feat that negates a penalty that doesn't exist. Get fast healing, produce healin' potions all day erryday. Nothing indicates th...

I like the curse as a combination of the knight's challenge and the shadow familiar. You sic your hex cat on your opponent as a swift action, flanking them. On your next turn, the hex cat starts dropping curses on the foe (say, -4 to attacks, saves, and skill checks). As other folks have suggested, ...

At level 8 you're probably best off with a wand of blink, boots of speed, and a bag of holding if you can afford it (otherwise you need to figure out where to store all those flasks: each one weighs a pound). Just remember to max out UMD and take your rank of SoH. (deep halfling rogue 8; PBS, Rapid ...

I like the idea of a 'shadow thief' class for lazy rogue players, but I'd probably try to bring it more obviously into line with a min-maxed rogue. e.g.: Level 1 -- Weapon Finesse (because they are supposedly Dex-based) Level 2 -- Assassin's Aim: A shadow thief can resolve attacks made with weapons ...

The mi-go wins hands-down in terms of cool, but doesn't stand a snowball's chance against a beholder in a fight.
