That's a good solution. Gather info and Knowledge local have long stepped on each other's toes in my 3.5 games. Even if there is still some overlap with Diplomacy, it seems like there's enough other stuff to do with Diplomacy that it shouldn't be as much of an issue.

If this committee has the power to remove words from the english language, I would propose that we set our sights higher. "Impactful" has long been a scourge upon the language, and should be purged!

Also, if there's some sort of button we can push to ban these words, I'd like everyone to know that I'm available to guard said button and prevent other, less honorable posters from deleting words willy-nilly from the English language...

"And it's not even broken to have a class with, say, a full nine levels of spellcasting, plus good BAB, HP, and proficiencies, with extra abilities on top of that." So you've never played a cleric or a druid, then, huh.

The point is that an arcane cleric wouldn't be inherently broken, so when you're making a martial class with real arcane spellcasting it doesn't necessarily need to have the martial and spellcasting sliders turned down as far as they are on a bard.


Exactly. It's not like the only options are:

1. Play a multi-class ftr/caster till you can make it to a good prestige class.
2. Play a bard and try and sub out the music shtick for that's a little less...let's say "high fantasy".
3. Play a gestalt character.

It's a continuum, and it's entirely possible to give out 9 casting levels and provide some type of dilution to the spell abilities. The problem with the multi-class and prestige classes is that the way they limit spell progression is by capping caster level. That's a good way of doing it, but it's by no means the only way.

The hardest way of doing it is probably to create a custom spell list that is very similar to the bard's. It'd be nice if spellcasting used the prepared rules instead of the spontaneous rules and Int instead of Cha to cast. I'd replace the bard's song ability with something that encourages them to engage in melee - maybe a sneak attack variant that kicks in at 2nd/3rd level, progresses slowly over time, only kicks in when flanking, and gives allies fighting that creature a bonus to hit and damage.

For spells, I'd weight it heavily towards utility spells (find traps, hold portal, detect magic, spider climb, jump). I'd put in healing and combat, but make them at a higher level than for other casters. So, the class could cast fireball, but it'd be a 4th level spell instead of a 3rd level spell. That would allow the character to dabble in using combat magic and be fairly effective at it, but with a lower number of times per day than a full caster.

Last, I'd let the class have the ability to swap out spells relatively quickly on the fly.

I like this design because putting the emphasis on intelligence and utility spells evokes to me the crafty adventurer, who knows a dash of magic through study and memorization of certain spells, but who can also hold his own in a fight. He's not as good in combat as the fighter or as deadly as a rogue can be and, though he can peel off a major combat spell or two, he'll still be outshone and outperformed by the dedicated casters.

Yeah, but he has a freaking gee-tar in a dungeon. The 2e bard was a great option for this type of class. The 3e/PFRPG bard? Not so much.

Where do I start??
Cheliax Sebastian (Bella Sara Charter Superscriber),

Bella Sebastian

It really depends how deep you want to go. The easiest thing to do is to buy the pdf of the core rulebook - it's priced very low at $10. If you want to make the plunge and buy the hardcover, that's around $50. The only other real core book is the Bestiary, the price of which I don't know off the top of my head.

The most recent adventure path, Council of Thieves, is the first one to use the Pathfinder rules. The others use 3.5, but should be relatively easy to convert (and, there is a free conversion guide pdf floating around here somewhere).

Hope that helps! Happy gaming.

Okay, yes, it was totally and absolutely broken, but damn, was it a blast playing a sorcerer with that spell. It was a no-brainer round 1 spell - effectively free to cast because you immediately get an extra action. Then you get to do what a sorcerer does best: unload the artillery.

K, I saw the LLC notation, just wasnt sure of the different definitions (and my brief google-fu didnt help my understanding). Too bad, Paizo stock would have been nice to have :P Thanks for the feedback.

Try searching under "limited liability company". It's a lot like a corporation, but you have a lot more freedom in how you structure the management and equity ownership. You can also elect to be taxed as a partnership instead of a corporation (which is the main reason people use LLCs).

Also, you could theoretically have a publicly traded LLC. Being an LLC doesn't have any affect on whether you are public or not. I want to say that a handful of the publicly traded funds are LLC's, but most are limited partnerships.

I wasn't able to find it elsewhere on the site or messageboards, and admittedly, my knowledge of such things are limited.

I know I would be willing to buy a few shares, I am sure many others would too, but cant seem to find out if it is even a possibility. Would hate to miss out on a high-growth company :)

Nope, you aren't required to be publicly owned until you have a large number of employees as I understand it (something like 2,000 employees). As such Paizo is privately owned

It's the number of shareholders you have (along with the value of your assets) that determines whether or not you have to file reports with the SEC. A lot of times there's significant overlap because employees tend to have options and can easily become shareholders (which is what happened with google). There's a bit more nuance to being required to file reports with the SEC and having your shares listed on an exchange (which is what people normally mean when they say a company is "public"), but it's fairly unusual to have a company file reports with the SEC and not have a class of securities available for public trading. It could happen, but it's not very common.

Yes Alien uses the technique far better. It is after all a true classic. However, when you describe yourself as having fast forwarded through vast tracks of the film and described it as boring, you paint your self as someone who doesn't understand that the concept. I was giving an example, from a film which is nearly universally accepted as good. Until now i didn't really have any reason to know with certainty you understood the idea at all.

I'm not sure that finding a bad film to be so boring that I couldn't watch it except by fastforwarding through it to see if it ever got good (spoiler: it didn't) implies that I'm incapable of enjoying good films or that I'm unfamiliar with the concepts of suspense or tension. If I said I can't watch Baywatch except when it's muted, does that mean I don't appreciate dialogue in general?

Sometimes a cigar is a cigar. And a bad movie is a bad movie.

At the end of the day, like a behaviourist, i can't go inside the black box. I can only respond to that which you present.

You need to bone up on your deductive abilities. It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to deduce that not liking a particular movie doesn't imply that a person doesn't like all movies of that type.

If the sub-genre is vampire movies based on comics that are terrible, then, yes, I suppose it does knock the socks off the other films in its sub-genre.

I don't think you're bitter. I think good necromancers are cliche and overdone. You may be the only person in your neighborhood to have tried the concept, but I've seen it done to death, both at my table and here on the boards. White necromancers are the two-weapon drow of the day. I'm sure the first person who built a drow like that thought they were doing something original and novel. They weren't, but, hey, that's okay. It's not particularly original to play a dwarven fighter, but some people like that too. And lord knows I'm a big fan of the badass kobold PCs cliche. I just don't bother trying to deny it's a cliche.

If you think that a slow pace, used to build tension is boring, god help you watching alien.

I don't recall saying that a slow pace and building tension are boring in general. Alien does it well.

30 Days of Night does not.

If we want to make overly broad statements about each other's opinions, I would suggest that your inability to differentiate a competently directed film (like Alien) or the use of slow pace and tension to create a sense of isolation (like Eraserhead) from generic b-movie shlock (like 30 Days of Night) invalidates all opinions you may have on movies, now or in the future. 30 Days of Night is no Alien, it's not even a halfway decent b-movie, and to compare the two is to demonstrate a woefully underdeveloped sense of what makes a movie good.

But, I think it's a lot easier to say that, admirable as those techniques are, 30 Days of Night is not in any way, shape, or form a good example of them. It's a very poor attempt to copy similar shots by better directors/cinematographers in better movies.

As for Twighlight, I think you're just bitter because you liked it before it was cool and are bummed out that everyone's jumping on the bandwagon. Just like white necromancers.

Yup. That's part of the argument that tends to get kicked up. Some people say "ooh!

This Modern World is 856 types of awesome, particularly it's non-political meta-strips (or, it's very silly political strips - I like the ones where Justice Scalia is a vigilante roaming the countryside dispensing justice).
