Maybe with Jenny Poussin and now this, maybe we should set up a porn sub-forum?

That's a joke, by the way.

Does anyone have any experiences playing with the Swiftblade prestige class?

How's this for a good deed that goes unpunished?

For just the cost of a couple green beers that you may have had recently you can help autistic children feel like part of the community, the parents of autistic children to learn about options for their childrens well-being and education, earn a tax deduction for next years taxes, and feel really good about doing a great deed.
My team is currently in 3rd place out of 42 or so teams. A bunch of people tossing in donations of $5 or so would be more than enough to help us get into 1st place!
Donating is safe, easy and quick on the website I've set up through Autism Delaware. Here is a link to the website.
What a deal! A few bucks for a feeling of helping out disabled kids, like my son Luke, and their families.
Thanks to all that have donated and to all that will. You guys have been great so far!

Here is a link to the other thread where you can see for yourself just how many Paizo posters have already done a good deed that is going unpunished!

How about this for a good deed that'll go unpunished?

It'll make you feel great to help out a good cause...bump...

Dude from Slingblade.
Ummm-hmmmm, I don't reckon I gots no reason to keel nobody....

I was driving by my local park and saw a dude screaming and yelling at his girlfriend and generally acting in a menacing manner. As I went by he hit her with a backhand to the face. I stopped and interposed myself between them while I called the cops. The dude tries to get at her, I get in the way and get hit. I shove him back away from me and the girl. She hits me in the back of the head. Cops come after 5 minutes of me trying to avoid getting hit by them both and try to arrest me. She was mad at me for interfering with her relationship and calling the cops on them. Cops get the story and arrest both of them and let me go.
I think that qualifies as "no good deed goes unpunished".

LOL!

Yeah, my avatar is a picture of Marzena, from the Age of Worms campaign. After my first character got turned to stone by the cockatrices, I started playing her as a PC.

Dino skulls makes for good scenery.
I found a tube of dinosaurs that weren't from Safari LTD. that I liked because they look better. I will try to figure out what brand they were. I based them on cheap mini bases and most ended up large-sized.

Again... why?

To introduce new players into the fold. i.e. - Kids especially.

Hence, I'm using MicroLite20 as my spring board - plus this is already Pathfinder-friendly, you can use existing OGL/D20 adventures as is, and the game can easily evolve into more complex forms.

I absolutely LOVE the way this post shows the geek in all of us. My first thought was, "Yeah, sure there are five porn stars all playing D&D, but the paintjob on the minis SUCKED!"
Then I read this post and realized where the gamer mentality lies. I am still laughing.

Benefit: You can choose to take a –1 penalty on all melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks to gain a +2 bonus on all melee damage rolls. This bonus to damage is increased by half (+50%) if you are making an attack with a two-handed weapon, a one handed weapon using two hands, or a primary natural weapon that adds 1-1/2 times your Strength modifier on damage rolls. This bonus to damage is halved (–50%) if you are making an attack with an off-hand weapon or secondary natural weapon. When your base attack bonus reaches +4, and every 4 points thereafter, the penalty increases by –1 and the bonus to damage increases by +2. You must choose to use this feat before making an attack roll, and its effects last until your next turn. The bonus damage does not apply to touch attacks or effects that do not deal hit point damage.

Alright guys, my team has fallen into 3rd place. I am only $75 dollars behind the #1 team and $45 behind the 2nd place team!

The only time we ever had a Frenzied Berzerker in our group was a new PC who started at 10th level. He failed saves in his first combat and was attacking everyone on both sides doing crazy damage. All healers were too scared to get close enough to heal him and he went into negative hit points. He killed everyone on the other side then went to turn on us but we all went and flew out of his reach(thanks wizard!). He finally made his save and dropped out of the frenzy.....at -218hp. He dissipated into a fine mist of blood.

I don't see anywhere in your frenzy ability where the Berzerker would attack allies. Is that an omission or did you purposely remove that part of the ability?

LINKIFIED!

Those look fantastic.

Obama and the democrats won due to "Change you can believe in", "I am not George Bush" (VERY popular with the American public) and "I am not a republican".

Independents are now shocked and angered to learn that Obama's "change" is not something they want or believe in, that Obama is just like George Bush (IraqWar/ObamaCare despite the public being against it) and democrats are even more corrupt and unethical than the slime-bag republicans they voted out of congress.

Be that as it may, he said, up front, that he wants universal health care. He made it part of his campaign platform, and he won.

By democratic standards (the process, not the party), he has the right and the mandate to try and enact into laws the policies that he campaigned on.

In fact, in those cases where he has waffled on his campaign promises (closing Gitmo, for example) he's been pilloried in the press for not following through on his promises.

If I were him, I'd be pretty f'n confused right now...

Hey 8th dwarf.....nice post. You make me want to move over to Australia! It seems that clearer heads are prevailing there instead of this whole American 2 party government that can't see past each's own agenda and the crap-tons of money tossed at them by special interests.
Now if I can just incorporate "mate" into my speech patterns and remember that Dropbears only attack the tourists.....

James, good catch with the race, I forgot you still get a race.....
on the 11th caster level thing, that's only if you want to have a Phalactery. I would say he just isn't getting one.....yet. He could in the future just take a bunch of levels himself to be able to do it. It wouldn't deny him access to Lichdom though.

Treantmonk's Guide to Monks. Per the previous poster.....it is an awesome guide.

Some of my friends are going to be starting a home-brew evil campaign soon and I am going to make a Lich Monk.

My DM has said it's fine but I have to take a 21 point buy instead of everyone else 25 and I have to start two levels below everyone else.

So I am starting at level 1 and they at 3.

Could anyone give me some suggestions about how I should point buy this? The only rules he put on me for it is that I cannot dump stat con, it must remain at 10.

Also feat suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Ok I called the dwarven forge people so I guess thet will be restocking some out of stock stuff, so I may try and order from them.

Here is a few of the things I've made with the molds out of dental plaster.
Warlock house
Egyptian rooms
Cavern test
Dice Roller
Bridge
Rough-hewn Cavern
R-hewn Cavern dungeon

Frankenfish was Meh. Plenty of decapitations. Snakehead Terror was basically the same movie but somehow worse. Has anyone else noticed the sheer amount of decapitations in SyFy movies? Its like their bread and butter.

Hey Mr.West, any chance of getting a downloadable file of The Lands of Mystery? I have the poster of it but I would love to be able to take a file, blow it up and have it printed uber-large.

BTW, excellent terrain cards. I will be ordering the maps.

I just checked the tally for all the teams raising money for this and my team is in 2nd place! And very close to 1st place! Let's show 'em what some RPG love can do and stomp the #1 team! It's a Tax Deductible! way to trounce others while helping out an awesome cause!

Bump away! I have until April 10th I believe to raise funds.
Thanks all!

No.

Sorry about this, but i have for about a week searched to find some type of definition for 'gish' can someone explain please?

So the term gish is technically a wizards of the coast proprietary word that originally refered to a very specific type of character. A githyenki fighter wizard i believe.

Now adays after years of online forum use, it has come to be a generic term for a fighter mage character. Most people mean more figther then they do Mage when they say gish, but there is definately a sliding scale as to how much fighter and how much mage people mean.

Now, as for Robohobo, here's my synopsis: "A sinister corporation is doing medical experimentation on the homeless. When one of their cybernetic experiements escapes, the researchers must then face the wrath of Robohobo, a mentally unstable homeless man now enhanced with flesh-rending robotic limbs."

What do you think? Is it a winner?

I actually enjoy the cheesy syfy saturday night movies :)

Frankenfish is one of my old faves. :)

Big Kukri.
Regular? Kukri.
That's different.

A quick images search on the word "kukri" in yahoo turns up a ton of images with blades ranging in length from 6" to around 3' long. The kukri in the standard equipment for PRPG is probably somewhere in the 9" blade range I would guess. If you want to make one for every category of equipment you can. A 2-handed 2d6 exotic version with 18-20X2 crit is cool with me. A tiny 1d3 version with a 6" blade would be cool with me too. Someone wants a one-handed version? 1d6-18-20X2 martial. The d8 version is exotic one-handed. d10 or 2d4 is 2-handed martial.
There I just made a bunch of kukris!

The New Argonauts is basically a d20 mini-campaign book based on ancient/mythic greek lore. I believe it weighs in at around 65-ish pages and talks about what races, classes, items and stuff is appropriate in that type of game. Also has some variant rules for damage and healing IIRC. I printed it out and am saving it for use in a future campaign.

Scroll down to "The New Argonauts" section. Sean K. Reynolds wrote a really nice piece here. Click on the "21 page Preview" link to get an idea on what the whole thing is like....it's perfect for what you are looking for.
Drivethru RPG has the whole thing free to download HERE.
Hope it helps....

EDIT- Oppsy, forgot that Paizo also carries it for free HERE along with Swords to Plowshares which is another excellent product.

I believe you would do 4X cost of large for huge....same with weight and all that. I don't know why for sure I believe this but that is what I am finding in my head. It might be from size and weight increases or something....

Okay, I am trying to stat up Morgan La Fey for my campaign and I am having a bit of trouble deciding how to make her stats work. I am not sure if I should use an abyssal bloodline sorcerer or a summoner specialist wizard? Both could fit and offer their own unique advantages. I am primarily using the way she is portayed in Marvel Comics as a guide where she always has a few demonic minions hanging about.

Human Cleric/Ordained Champion Tyr who pretended that a birth defect that left him with pointy ears was proof of his elven lineage.....mannerisms of Archibald Asparagas from the Veggie Tales series. Everything he said was "a message from Lord Tyr".

A dwarven Duskblade who was working towards starting a casino with mannerisms of Joe Pesci from Casino. "Hey! Yeah, you. You mudderfooker!"....he was fun.

I still think that your % of negating a critical hit are VERY timid. Receiving a confirmed critical hit is a (somewhat) rare occurrence as it is. Depending on the DM style, I'd say it happens, in average, somewhere between once per game to once every third or fourth game.

Even at 4% chance of negating a critical blow, it is an ability that kicks in once every 25 to 100 games. Is it really worth it?

I remember discussing this subject with you before. Since then, I've been playing that helmets (I have only two categories) negate a critical hit either 20% of the time or 50% of the time). After 3 month or so, this has saved about 5 critical hits so far (all players and NPC together). Granted, only one character wears a helmet and they have faced mainly monsters without protective gears, but all that to say that it hasn't been game breaking.

On the other hand, I've removed Armour Fortifications from the game. I always liked the mechanical effect, but I never cared much for the "more enchanted than enchanted armour" concept. Instead, I shifted the ability to helmets (without the protection from sneak attacks and precision damage).

I remember that you didn't like the idea of removing fortification and shifting their advantages to helmets (at a bargain price!). Yet, I think that if a player must endure the penalties of a helmet several time per game (since perception checks are frequent and -3 is a significant penalty), the turnout effect should kick-in every second or third game or so, not every 50th game...

See how that feels? Not so funny now is it?

stares at Tarren's skull, drooling

Mmmmmm.......brainnnnnssss

And definitely don't lick a co-worker's stapler...at least while anyone else is around......that didn't end up well at all.....no wonder I can't find a job...:(

I wasn't saying that you should use the magic item pricing as a guide. I was stating that per magic item pricing, a +1 stat boost would be equal to a +3% to fortification. So a -1 perception would offset a +3% to fortification. So why would I ever even consider taking a -3 perception penalty in exchange for 4% fortification? -3 perception should entail an equal (or close to) exchange, or a +9% to fortification.

And on that note I am done with your thread. You have decided to be condescending and belittling and I don't feel it was deserved in a thread where you asked for assistance, review and ideas.
For reference here is the quotes I am unhappy with-
"We don't want that... now do we."
"Also, we shouldn't price everything necessarily. Just because you sleep and it gives you -10, are you saying that sleeping should have a gold refund? So that every time you sleep, you get extra gold equal to that penalty to spend while you're sleeping. (Lets not point out the fact that you basically can't buy anything while you're sleeping)"

If you can't take advise or minor critiquing, don't ask for it. Just do whatever you want and use it in your game.
Good day.

I really liked Pootie Tang, will I like this also?

Basically fortification, if broken down turns into 500gp per 3% chance (roughly). Skills break down to +1 per 500gp. If I am giving up 1 skill point I would expect at least a 3% fortification if not a smidge more. That's what I base it on.
For my math- light fortification is a +1 ability to armor so it would cost at least 4000gp to add to a suit and gives 25%
Most skills in magic items are +5 for 2500gp. See ring of jumping among others....

That's where I am coming from on this.
