If any legal character could put the tarrasque on 0 Hp then there's something wrong with the system

not taken archetypes on magus or barbarian have +1 weapon and a few scrolls and potions, going to be only arcane caster in the group so need a few combat and utility spells the cleric has got the buffs covered (when he remembers to cast them)

Three ranks in acrobatics gives the extra bonus to ac for fighting defensively

I think some of the problem is that there are getting to be to many classes that are to specific i would rather have a few more general classes which players can adapt through skills and feats to make them unique

The weapons of legacy book from 3.5 might help

Yep have to agree that was one badly run kraken i would have just had it capsize the ship no need to spend time smashing it up

I think a book of FAQ's would be welcome and would probably solve a shed load of problems and arguments

Thanks for the link will give it a proper investigate when i finish work cheers

The op makes an interesting point i like extra skills and feats etc but think that they are overlooking the need for more generic campaign information
Which can be used in any setting like a book detailing a few towns or villages for general use .
Or one which has a few random side track adventures or one covering a few random military or religious orders
Just some stuff that anyone can fit into there campaigns to add colour to the game with a minimum of effort but that is not area or settimg specific

So a religious lawful good warrior who is quite happy to sneak up on some one and stab them in the back
Interesting but not sure the two character classes really mix as they are so opposite to each other

Quick question the spell stone fist say that it ignors the hardness of any object with a hardness of 8 or less
So if you strike something with a hardness of greater than 8 due you still deduct the full hardness total ?

A quick question when a template say's +1 to monster cr is that +1 step or +1cr extra
As in a monster is cr one third does it go to cr one half or cr one and one third ?

Lashes and a lot of them
Was normal in most armies till the turn of the 20th century

@ shallowsoul just for the record i agree with a lot of what you say but you need to lighten up China . It's clear that some people on this forum push all your buttons and get you to bite
Just let it go mate people can have there opinions just like you can have yours
No need to get all bent out of shape over it I'm sure that's what some of them want so just relax and don't give them the satisfaction

I hope this is just an exercise in number crunching and not a real character

No the mechanics are part of the game they are the system that allows you to interact within the game

Another example of players more worried about mechanics than about the game
I'm sure your right that some other classes can do certain things better than rogues but here's my point so what ! I doubt care if he's not the best as long as he's good at what I want him to do then that's fine by me I'll still be happy and having fun
And just because there not the best don't mean they suck

Hi all just an idea i've been thinking about .
with magic item creation feats i think its reasonable for the character to have a skill which complerments it ie forge ring they should have a few points in jewellery crafting forge weapons and armour blacksmithing and the like
Any thoughts

We always track weight but allow an extra around or two just for ease of player
I some times keep track of capacities but mainly at lower lvls but will my characters carry a few sacks on them just in case

I find that PvP is more trouble than it's worth so i try to discourage it as a rule
But sometimes it does still happen

Agreed if there absent for good reason then that's different
I was speaking in general terms
I also dish out extra xp for good roleplay and the like

I've always kept track of xp when i run a game at the end of each session i divide the xp by thennumber of players with anyone who was absent (but someone played there character) gets a half share with the extra being divided among the players who showed up this makes for an incentive to show up on a regular basis
Eg if a party of 4 players (3of which show up for the game) earn 2000xp the three that showed earn 583 xp while the one whos character was played by another player gets 250 xp

Happy new year to you all
Just a little thought i had over the holidays , with all the threads about how to best optimize characters and what's the best gear or spells to use how about we get back to basics
Talk to your group and get them yo run a one shot basic D&D game using the old red books from the 80's
I think everyone will find it an interesting experience
And if you've not got the rules they can be picked up on ebay for a few quid come on what do you say give it a go you might find you enjoy it

My heart goes out to those that have lost there children
Speaking as a parent that has lost a child i can tell you there is nothing more painful
No parent should have to bury there child

Tough one to help on sounds like you just have a group of players who are just not that into role playing
Which is a shame as it sound like you've gone to a lot of effort with your game i had a similar group once and in the end i just called it a day with them as i was the only one who was pushing the game forward
Sorry not much else i can say

Well the op just goes to prove the old saying
There's nought as queer as folk

I have no problems with the new races as they all look cool
I was more interested in how you would play npc reactions to some of the more unusual races

What ever happened to working as a party ?

In answer to the op if you can do any better be my guest
And if not stop whining and just have you and your group house rule it

I know it was in AD&D but sure about PF

It is math as well as unimportant

Why am i not surprised by that statement Toz ;-)

I know but there's probably a whole host of people who agree with it

No such thing as badwrongfun in gaming just different types of fun and if others don't like it then that's there problem
Its all about having fun and spending time with your China's

It's amazing how much people will argue over the moral actions of characters in a fantasy world
Play pathfinder drink beer eat pizza have FUN

Oops bloody phone !!!!!

Kill them all and let the gods sort them out

Kill them all and let the gods sort them out his

Old yeller ?
Sorry not ringing any bells is it a Sep thing ?

What ever happened to the spirit of the game
Just asking

Sounds like a GM problem to me are all the players getting robbed or is it just you ?

*strange masonic style hand shake that ends with several dislocated fingers*

Fair enough toz

This is why i prefer to roll stats instead of points buy
I think with all the choices players can make with character creation they have so much control over how the character will turn out that rolled stats represent the organic part of creation what the gods gave you and you have to work with

Also i don't think they are as mindless as believed
I mean they knew to us bricks to smash windows one had the sense to check out the rv when the door got left open they head towards noise and will look around for the source

I also think one of the problems is that often players will be having a discussion in character but be making reference to stats and feats as themselves the players and not there characters

I like the op lots there i agree with

Max for first 2 levels then roll or take average +1

I know I've upset a few people in the past even got an email from paizo once asking me to behave but i'm afraid it's in my nature to "kick the bee hive" from time to time to

Well done on finding the fault but not sure why you where looking
