Great, Greg even managed to TPK the delivery truck!

it seems to bring up the idea that you are imobilized if the entangling is caused by something that is stationary - like roots.

This is correct, fail your save and you are immobilised if the entangling object is rooted. However that's not as tough as it may sound, you get a reflex save or a strength check to break free and continue moving on your turn (so the fire giant isn't slowed down for long). The worst thing entangle does is not immobilise foes but slow them down (it makes terrain difficult) and break up their attack into manageable chunks.

It's a powerful spell but very situational. if you are in a forest, a druid is going to own it, because that's what druids do. If you are underground, in a dungeon, in a desert, on a city street...it's useless. So let your druid shine while he can, because come the next chapter he'll be playing second fiddle.

I think it's safe to say both Purple Duck and Raging Swan have lots of GREAT stuff!

Heh ... Purple Duck and Raging Swan sounds like the title to a very odd children's book ...

Jumping in the deep end: the only way to make a splash.

Well good luck with this and here is a little advice from a long time 3PP: Everything takes twice as long as you think it takes and cost three times a much. Plan accordingly.

Player: "I'm going to break the game."
Game Master: "No you're not."
Player: "Yes I am."
GM: "You can't play then."

Final Score
GM: 1
Player: 0

I haven't read the whole thread but I have an idea. Since Paizo does support 3PP publishers better than I saw from another company, why not tale it one step further? Find an original 3PP and do a supporting PDF for it, just like they do for Paizo. To make sure it doesn't affect PFS, just state that it isn't legit for PFS.

If you're asking that Paizo put together something for a 3PP and release it, this simply isn't something that we have room in our product schedule for. We're full up on our own products (and then some)!

What might be best is something like this, Monte Cook Presents: The Year's Best d20 but done by one of the Paizo staff or more respected community reviewers. You need someone who is legitimately respected by a large number of the Paizo fan base to do something like this which would only add credibility to 3PP.

Sincubus,

I think it's the perils of writing, honestly. We have long debates on the boards on why people would willingly serve evil deities. We have threads on all sorts of 'taboo' subjects. Pathfinder itself is PG-13*.

Pathfinder is only PG-13 because Western society (not qualified to talk about any other) has such a positive attitude to disturbing levels of violence.

In any sane world most RPGs would probably carry big warning stickers saying: PARENTS: CAUTION: EXTREME VIOLENCE TREATED CASUALLY

Please replace "Western" with "American".

I'm sure that several artwork in Paizo products would draw attention on grounds of extreme violence here (hello, APG "Inquistor gutting an undead" pic), while an occasional nipple (which causes panic and emergency Congress sessions in the US) would just float by.

Oh, and we're a 95% Catholic country, BTW.

"Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep nipple clamps on an Ooze?"

"I have literally never seen a PC fail to confirm a critical hit except by rolling a natural 1." - mplindustries

Really? Then you haven't been playing enough Pathfinder. (Or you have some peculiar houserules.)

The rules just do not do the actual weapon justice. Quit screwing one of histories greatest weapons!!!

Dragon, make a perception check again :)

Heck of a deadline. . .

Funny thing is I'm not even sure if that's a typo or a joke.

I don't know about you mere mortals but I will be around still and I will make sure he follows thru.

Whatever the "cute pic" is it apparently has to be a ** spoiler omitted **

Again, really happy couatls are in this. They've needed futher exploration for a long time.

Still really hoping the sapient creatures have some non-evil possibilities explored, especially the poor medusa(seriously, the most unjustly maligned mythical being ever. Ancient Greek values are pretty screwed up).

Maybe it's the rare bunny, kitten, puppy chimera.

The folks I game with (and not just the people in my games, but the other groups that game at the same game club I game at) generally function like this: "This is my character concept. I want to be able to do X, Y and Z. How can I do that?" Then, whatever the source material - core Paizo or 3PP - if it allows them to create the character they had in mind, they use it (pending GM approval, naturally).
