hmmm too easy STRIKE BACK

Yes, good points. The DM here is old school from 1st and second edition and is definitely of the school "you are your class" versus using the class to achieve your character concept. To me the Barb provides a very useful skill set with fun mechanics so....

The Kurghan

I took the plunge last night and went full out, Imax HFR and was very impressed.

The movie felt like a comfortable pair of slippers, you just pulled them out of the closet back and they still fit perfectly.

The time didnt seem to drag at all. My opinion on the length is that Jackson considers this movie an homage to the fans. Details that could have been left out were added for us! (see when Bilbo leaves the Shire)

He is very respectful of the Lore and added elements make for more excitement. I liked it and likely will see it again (which i didnt do for the Trilogy!)

We call the Enlarge spell 'Overwhelming Presence". it's basically the same spell but explained as the recipient, rather than growing, just having a more dominant command of the battlefield. A small buff as potential size drawbacks re actually fitting into certain spaces dont apply, but we like it this way as a more 'martial' buff

guessing Uma Thurman might be in Grand's memories....

Jennifer Connelly omg, but this movies 'twin' had Mia Sara !!! (Jennifer still has the edge but it's very close...)

Q? How many wizards does it take to change a light bulb?
A. By RAW it is is undefined. There are no relevant feats or skills (though I suppose one could take Profession: Electrician or the GM could rule that the players have access to some Industrial age knowledge) RAI perhaps could allow some form of knowledge check, and then perhaps a full round action (as per "Lighting a torch") Aid could potentially be useful here.This is supported by the fact that a torch can also mean a flashlight in many English speaking countries, I vote to FAQ this topic based on this interpretation.

A Barbarian could use the "Raging Lightality" power at the expense of 3 rounds of rage.

Dear, Paizo do you offer your rule books with out the dying fighter art? I am in love with your, products just not the artwork. I am trying to get my boys involved in role playing and am looking for more melee friendly covers. I don't want my boys to be exposed to dying mortally wounded fighters (or being dragged off to his death, and seriously Merisel fighting beetles while Valeros has to deal with THREE wererats??). I understand the market you are going for and I am not judging you at all I just am not a proponent of "heroic deaths" and was wondering if you have alternate covers? Also it doesn’t help to show Valeros with a medium melee weapon and a small one, it is really screwing up the kids feat selections

Just a thought for these maps [any and all] Why dont the map-pack descriptions list what module or adventure the maps fit? A reviewer notes that the Bandit Outpost map equals Olegs in Kingmaker...should that not be on the product page? I recall another map pack being the dungeon for another module [ist level??] Are there any others?

Have Barbarians been bypassed by the growth of the game? I believe that Barbarian high level class defining abilities have been surpassed by the new Pathfinder books...

Mighty Rage level 20 Barb ability easily matched by Fighter Gloves of Dueling [besides some neat CMD mods these provide plus one to hit and damage] Furious weapons grant only a plus 2 enhancement bonus which caps out at 5, climbing and swimming penalties for one-handed actions are??? High level fighters will be glad to have the Gloves as an alternative way to raise "/to hit/damage" than weapon enhancement.

Tireless Rage the class capstone ability? is matched by taking one level of Oracle[lame] with the Metal mystery [Dance of Blades] allowing the movement penalty to be eliminated...

A 12Barb/1Oracle/7Fighter[weapon master] will act in all ways as a higher level Barb. Some damage will be lost on level based rage powers , but selection:eg Clear Mind,Unexpected Strike,Mighty Strike will alllow avoidance of many penalties. Fighter feats can be used to provide additional Rage Powers.12 level Barb is chosen as being a "break point" for many rage powers and DR of Inv Barbs.

Boasting Taunt?? or Antagonize feat?

I guess the thesis is that the high level Barb abilities are achieved by multiclassing and this seems to be outside the design intent of Pathfinder rewarding single-classing.Maybe Ultimate Combat will bring some fixes, but Barbs still have a low feat count, so these would likely have to be in the form of Magic or?

ps A prediction...UC will have a new Barb feat "Raging ?????" granting plus 1 or 2 to strength while enraged!
