<p>We made Razmir level 19 not because we were trying to limit the number of 20th level NPCs, but because making him not QUITE as high level as possible fit his theme of being someone who's not quite as good as he could be.

To return to my earlier remarks about proficiency, with far greater detail. I have two primary objections to this change. One, to the mechanic itself. This is a significant degree of customization which Paizo intends to remove. No more can I put a couple ranks into Linguistics to learn a handful of languages to demonstrate my character's background. No longer am I allowed to put a handful of points into Profession (Baking) to demonstrate that my paladin was a cook before he was called to service. No, now it's all or nothing- either you're exactly as good at picking pockets as the master thief who's been doing it all his life, or you can't do it at all. </p>
<p>But worse than the mechanic itself, is the <i>message</i> sent by its inclusion. Pathfinder players have, for years, been openly derisive of the proficiency mechanic. It's one of the most commonly hated aspects of 5e. Paizo knows this- those discussions happen largely on their boards. But they have decided to completely ignore the fact that PF players despise this mechanic and implement it anyway. This says, in very clear terms, "We are more interested in courting 5e players than in satisfying our existing customers and fanbase. The opinions of our current customers matter less than the potential profit that we think we can get by stealing that element from 5e." I've been a loyal customer and player for 8 years now. I've bought products from them <i>solely</i> to support the corporation because I liked their material. But my opinions are less important than their desire to attract D&D players.</p>
<p>The ironic part? I've said for ages that PF needed a reboot. This is actually the only element of what they've described that I'm particularly unhappy about. But, between that message, and Paizo's established history of ignoring playtest feedback? They've managed to kill my enthusiasm for it rather handily.</p>So.

Which won't work, because the 5e crowd is already invested in their own game. There are some aspects of the new edition I'm interested in- rebalancing magic items <i>might</i> have promise, if they do it well, but tbh, I rather expect them to just nerf/remove the Big Six.Charabdos, The Tidal King wrote:I have but one fear from this...

<p>The bard is more accurate and deals more damage with the scimitar than the fighter. So the fighter is the weakness that "should" be shored up. If you give the weapon to the fighter you boost damage by 1 per round. If you give it to the bard you boost damage by 1•number of attacks. </p>
<p>It helps the party more to give it to the bard.

<p><span class=messageboard-bigger><b>This is what's causing arguments.</span></b></p>
<p>Our system wasn't causing problems until we found a few potions in a bandit base we'd just trashed. Two of us wanted to count potions towards your total value, because we felt that the basis of the system was to keep track of your gold spent and your effective wealth by level. In other words, we don't have personal cash deposits because this system allows us to get more items and is less hassle, but we are trying to evenly distribute wealth anyway. One of our players objected to this, saying that once a potion is gone, it is no longer of value to him. We explained that that was the point- if we were keeping track of individual gold, he would have to decide whether he wanted to buy a potion or save that gold for bigger items. A potion represents a cheap, immediate boost of power, while a magic item represents a powerful, long term one. In our mind, the reason this system works best is because it makes the players ask "Do I want that potion badly enough to put off my magic items a little bit longer?" If they decide that no, they don't want it that badly, then somebody else gets it or it goes into the bag of holding for emergencies.</p>Feral wrote:Well it is a little anal retentive but that doesn't mean it's wrong. =P

My party is currently in a fierce debate regarding how to divvy up loot. The current system is that we have a party loot pool. Any items you take are added to your character's total value- this includes consumables and disposable items. Items which are clearly of value to the entire party, such as a smokestick or wand of cure light wounds, do not count towards this value. If you use a consumable in a way which clearly benefits the entire party, that no longer counts towards your value. The player with the lowest current value gets to choose the next item that we purchase using party loot. We're having issues, and I was wondering how everybody else spreads out loot. What do you guys do?</p>
<p>To clarify- there are two major reasons this is an issue. One, I'm playing a crafter, and we needed a way to make sure that everybody gets a reasonable share of the gear that I can make. Two, we are in a gestalt campaign. We have three arcane casters, three martial characters, and two monks. Any item we find will probably be useful to at least two of our players, so it isn't really feasible to just distribute loot based on whoever can make the best use of it, because we may disagree on who it should go to.</p>How do you distribute loot?

<p>And absolutely. That is the essence that is Ham. I'm still not sure if Brooks just has an extreme case of Dissociative Identity Disorder on top of being a werekin, or if Ham is genuinely an outside force, but one thing is certain- they despise each other. They cooperate only out of necessity. Ham tries to hurt Brooks whenever possible, and he's constantly trying to tempt the Professor into being more like him or, at the least, letting him out for a little while. My main objection in that regard was the line "Ham isn't necessarily evil." Ham is <i>very</i> evil. Remember, Ham was making jokes about a woman who was effectively raped and tortured to death, just to get at Brooks. If not tempered by his imprisonment in the Professor's body, he would be the worst kind of serial killer.</p>A valid point.

My first is that I had intended that yes, Ham is Chaotic Evil. Or maybe closer to Chaotic Stupid, as his only real goals are causing pain and death. Even his survival instincts are somewhat limited. This is part of what led to the deal between himself and the Professor. Their original idea was to cooperate only until they could find a way to separate themselves into two separate physical entities. This is what led the Professor to become a surgeon and alchemist. Eventually, they realized that neither of them truly wanted this. Professor Brooks, because he would be responsible for letting Ham loose on the world. Ham, because, on some level, he realizes that, left to his own devices, he would go on mindless killing sprees until he was slain. So they came to their current arrangement. I can rewrite that portion of the backstory, however, if it is necessary for your purposes.</p>
<p>The second is that the Professor has <i>never</i> vivisected a sentient being. Animals, sure. Mindless undead, hell yes. Plants don't even count, even the ones that can move. But sentients? Not a chance in the hells. Ham would, but he is ultimately too violent for something which requires so much patience. He would sooner rip his victim's arms off, before gutting him.</p>Two things about Ham's remarks. My first is that I had intended that yes, Ham is Chaotic Evil.

He then turns toward Conall. <b>"To answer your question, we'd need to know what kind of resources the creators had on hand, as well as how much time they had to prepare. The most basic of magical traps are spells such as <i>Sepia Snake Sigil</i> and <i>Explosive Runes</i>, both of which are dependent on the victim reading a particular sentence, and a <i>Fire Trap</i> spell, which does minor fire damage to anyone who opens a particular door or object. We have little to fear from any of these, however. Rune traps are rarely used due to their extremely limited applications compared to their cost, and fire trap causes so little injury that a healthy rabbit could survive it. The real risk is the more creative, more expensive spells that can be modified to a trap, such as <i>Fireball</i> or <i>Cause Fear</i>. Unfortunately, magical traps are extremely hard to detect. I suggest that we have Charlie move up front and investigate doors and possible trap points as we move along, as I expect that she would be the most likely to spot them. However, I doubt that Reya would be sending us to an area with too many magical traps, as the likelihood of our spotting them or surviving the ones we fail to spot is rather low. What we really need to worry about is more mundane traps, such as arrow slits and pit falls, and things such as those Demolishers we saw. I expect that Reya will send us to more dangerous areas only once we have gained experience, knowledge, and power.</b></p>Actually, Alynthar got two, and Shield and Conall each got one.
