I think Ian meant that, typically, dragons, no matter what their age category, don't have the swallow whole special ability, much less the grab special ability that is a prerequisite for swallowing.

Yep, in the Bestiary, Ancient White Dragons do not have either Grab nor Swallow Whole, normally.

Swallow Whole (Ex) wrote:

If a creature with this special attack begins its turn with an opponent grappled in its mouth (see Grab), it can attempt a new combat maneuver check (as though attempting to pin the opponent). If it succeeds, it swallows its prey, and the opponent takes bite damage. Unless otherwise noted, the opponent can be up to one size category smaller than the swallowing creature. Being swallowed causes a creature to take damage each round. The amount and type of damage varies and is given in the creature's statistics. A swallowed creature keeps the grappled condition, while the creature that did the swallowing does not. A swallowed creature can try to cut its way free with any light slashing or piercing weapon (the amount of cutting damage required to get free is equal to 1/10 the creature's total hit points), or it can just try to escape the grapple. The Armor Class of the interior of a creature that swallows whole is normally 10 + 1/2 its natural armor bonus, with no modifiers for size or Dexterity. If a swallowed creature cuts its way out, the swallowing creature cannot use swallow whole again until the damage is healed. If the swallowed creature escapes the grapple, success puts it back in the attacker's mouth, where it may be bitten or swallowed again.

Format: swallow whole (5d6 acid damage, AC 15, 18 hp); Location: Special Attacks.

If a creature with this special attack hits with the indicated attack (usually a claw or bite attack), it deals normal damage and attempts to start

Well...remember, we are talking about a small gnome sorcerer (they have a huge CMB & CMD!!) being attacked by a huge (?) ancient white dragon. He chewed me for a couple of rounds until I was below zero in hp's, then swallowed. Not a lot of fighting while in a coma and being swallowed haha!

I usually take a half-elf character with the Fast Learner (get the +1 hp and +1 skill point) feat. I don't really care how under rated it is, I like that feat.

When I don't play a half elf, I still take the skill point

I've lost all interest in being part of this community.

*watches, waits, studies target*

So now we know that Liz took at least one level of [Thread] Slayer...

It was in bad taste, and I don't want to make the boards a place that bums you out, or makes you feel unwelcome.

FTR you're way too late for that. These boards are far too unwelcome for anyone short of "dyed-in-the-wool marxist"

I long ago gave up the idea that anyone with a conservative mind would be welcome here. Between most of the trolls and some of the paizo staff, I usually just browse and move on to more friendly confines.

Never played it and definitely interested.

To be fair, I was swallowed while the dragon was flying. The following round, he landed and the burst heal went off.

Didn't mean to mislead.

Wow that was fast! Thank you!

so I have what seems to be a rather unique issue. My (mythic) gnome sorcerer was scooped up by an ancient white dragon, chewed up and swallowed. Because he is/was mythic, it takes a LOT of damage to actually kill him. He was swallowed while comatose but not yet dead.

The dragon landed to engage the rest of the party (dumb move dragon!) and the party healer did a channel positive energy burst heal. The oracle has the selective channel feat, so he excluded the dragon. But not the sorc.

From reading I do not see anything that requires the healer to have line of sight or line of effect to the sorc sitting in the dragon's belly.

The oracle is adamant that the healing worked and the sorc should be taken out of his coma (the heal would've brought him to barely above zero hp).

For sake of expediency (and because the GM hates killing characters) he went along with it. I was allowed to throw out a teleport to the nearest location I had studied (ring of statues from RotR) and I made it out of the dragon's belly alive.

I have to be honest. I'm not afraid to let my character die. I think my gm is a bit too nice, so when my character is in dire straits I usually err on the side of realism. I do not believe the channeled heal should have worked that way, but nothing on the Channel Positive energy write suggests a need for line of sight/effect.

Should the channeled heal work this way?

Hope you guys have a fun day!

I'm a staunch Catholic who can't stand the imposition of my personal and my church's morality on those who don't share it. On sites like this, I'm a screwball theist, and on Catholic websites, I'm one of Satan's middle managers for not upholding the party line. Funny how much is relative, ain't it?

I think the decision is the only one that can be made by those who are not allowing inappropriate influences to sway them. The separation of church and state is, in my opinion, critical to the proper governance of a nation interested in protecting the minority from the will of an oppressive majority.

I'm really very happy to see there is someone here who holds the same ideas I've had! I thought I was alone here.

Ketchup on hot dogs isn't a thing? Guess I'm doing it wrong.

It is a uniquely Chicago sentiment. Putting ketchup on a red hot will get it slapped out of your hand, and get you kicked out of the establishment.

Some hot dog stands refuse to stock ketchup to avoid the hassle.

I don't trust Paizo staff to moderate the boards impartially

I roll stats, 4d6, drop lowest, re-roll 1's

I love playing Black Crusade, but the pbp players and GM's are completely unreliable. (Note: Before the suggestion "Well why don't you DM, then" is lobbed around: It's because I'm a terrible DM and wouldn't inflict that sort of misery on anyone. I may gripe about reliability, but I do have the common decency to know my own faults as well and admit them.)

I'm from the Chicago area, and sometimes I put ketchup on my hot dogs just for spite.

Been looking at the Mythic ruleset, and it seems like the upper tiers just bring too much. Ive also heard that it gets out of hand from people in my group.

My question is how much mythic is reasonablr? Tier 2? Tier 4? Just looking for experience and opinions here.

Our GM stopped at 2, and is seriously considering de-powering us completely. I blame myself. Actually, I blame my gnome sorc who can pull any spell off the list to cast as he so chooses. I have a tendency to trivialize a LOT of encounters due to proper spell selection.

Houserule I didn't get a chance to use yet: Track quivers instead of arrows.

If you roll a 1 on an attack roll using an arrow, it was your last arrow from that quiver.

So wait a sec...if I pull an arrow out of a freshly filled quiver, and then roll a 1, does that mean I dump all the other arrows out and find a new quiver? That seems kinda stupid.

It's an abstraction. There isnt any tracking of a "freshly filled quiver", the only thing that register in that system are "nearly empty quivers" - if you pull an arrow out of a quiver and roll a 1 it means it was nearly empty. Anything else means it wasn't.

If you analyse any abstraction closely enough you get silly results. The thief picks a lock and the next morning the wizard can cast fireball...

Then that means the the thief was actually a witch because she was made of wood!!!

In an interview, Whedon himself stated how he really wanted to use Pym for the Ultron origin, but Ant Man was already in development and he couldn't step on Wright's toes. Tony is smart enough—especially with J.A.R.V.I.S. established as Chekov's A.I. back in Iron Man (I)—has the resources, is an untrusting control freak, and was looking for a way to get out of the armor since IM3... he has great believable motivations for developing a robot peacekeeper(s) program. And he has an ego big enough to think he can pull it off successfully, despite a track record (starting with his dad) of inventions that turn out to dangerously malfunction and/or be misused.

Actually, with S.H.I.E.L.D. imploding, he would see a void (Global emergency response) that would need filled.

I could easily see Tony making an army of killbots without batting an eye, especially with whedon at the helm of the film.

Why not? He already had the House Party Protocol with J.A.R.V.I.S. driving the suits. The next step would be to make them autonomous.

I do. LARP scene in Serbia is pretty decent, getting bigger.

We organize international events, usually with Bulgarians and Croats as well.
Next year, we are most probably going to make a really big event, a sort of Balkans Drachenfest (not nearly as big, of course).

I did some Vampire LARP-ing once upon a time. Had lots of fun playing the "dangerous" Gangrel (It helped that I was just out of the military and still buff). Eventually I moved away from it.

It is impossible to be sexist toward men in the same way that it is impossible to be racist toward white people or classist toward the ruling class. Please note that I'm using these "-ist" terms in the context of their existence as oppressive systems, not as simple prejudice.

Because the system never favors women in western society... It's not like women suffer lighter sentences for the exact same crimes or anything...

Nope. The Patriarchy (tm) always rigs the game in favor of those evil manspreading males...

What crimes are you referring to? For certain crimes, I grant that this is possible, I just don't know what they are. Although, have you heard of Susan B. Anthony?

I know, for instance, that men who beat or murder their intimate partners with their bare hands (including strangulation) receive less jail time and less harsh sentences than women who murder or injure abusive male partners with guns, because they are often less physically able to defend themselves without a weapon. But shooting someone is for some reason not as serious a crime as strangling someone.

Since you want to be deliberately obtuse, try comparing the sentencing of male teachers who have had sex with their students against female teachers who have done the same. Now (for the record) I'm not advocating for male sex offenders to get lighter sentencing.

Question:

So, I think we can all agree that sexism exists, yeah?

Yes Virginia, there is sexism

And at least some of us can agree that it's rooted in misogyny (so even when men are oppressed by sexism, it's because of a sexist valuing of masculinity and devaluing of femininity).

Nice try.

What you're saying here is that when a man hates women, he's wrong, and sexist; but when a woman hates men, it's really the man's fault anyway, so he's still wrong. Grow up. Take responsibility for yourself and your actions.

Hmmm, well, didn't really get into video games at home until the Sega Genesis. Luckily most of the games they released have been re-released on the Ultimate Sonic Sega Genesis Collection...things like the Phantasy Star Series (IV is still the best), Beyond Oasis, Shining Force I and II, and such.

From the 90s, I still can play all the great PS1 games on the PS3, so though the Playstation one isn't really around anymore, the games still play well! All the Squaresoft games, especially the remakes of Final Fantasy 1-6, Final Fantasy VII and IX (sorry, never really got into VIII), and especially Chrono Trigger and the original Chrono Cross. Also especially love both Lunar games.

As for PC games, loved all the Infinity Engine games as well as the original Diablo. Also loved the X-wing Trilogy (some of which are finally getting releases on GoG) and who can forget (well, a lot probably) the wizardry games!

The one game we all played on the Sega Genesis was "Star Control". Also loved playing the original Sid Meier's Pirates. People wonder how I can know so much about the Carib...now you know the rest of the story.

Metagaming is when you make gameplay decisions based on things outside of gameplay.

In competitive games, this often refers to using your knowledge of what strategies other people are likely to bring to an event to inform your decision of what to play yourself, and even what play to make during a game based on having seen your opponent make a play that is typical of a given strategy. In such games, metagaming is considered a fundamental skill of the game.

In roleplaying games, the dividing line tends to be "in-character knowledge" versus "player knowledge". Any time the character does something based on something that the player knows, that's "metagaming". This could be choosing to use a different weapon than normal without having gained in-character information to prompt such a decision;

I agree with this portion...

or choosing to explore an area they would have no real interest in because the player wants to make sure to get all the loot/XP; or in many cases, even continuing to adventure once the cash available from selling all their gear would allow them to live in luxury the rest of their lives.

But not these two examples. Finding a tunnel branch or portion of the woods that you haven't explored and then exploring it for the loot shouldn't be considered "metagaming" simply because the player has not acted on out-of-game knowledge (using the reason you gave...). If the player "knows" there is an NPC or loot that would help end an section of the adventure faster (but the character does not), then it could be considered metagaming.

By the same token, completing an adventure (even if it is for the loot) shouldn't be considered metagaming.

That doesn't match what I've learnt, nor does it match Wikipedia's description:

Well if it doesn't match then let me go over there and change it. Wikipedia shouldn't be used to cite facts since it can be changed on a whim.

Rather, it should be used as a jumping point to verify facts from other, more reputable sources.

Discussion thread established!

Players interested in participating in the Game of Mortals should read the campaign info and submit a character concept with backstory and character sheet (see creation rules in campaign info).

Six deities decide to play a Game of Mortals. They create a demiplane called the Grand Court, consisting of a central hexagon 30 miles across called the Courtyard, surrounded by six hexagons of equal size known as the Outer Domains.
Each domain has its own thematic nature.

The Fire Domain is a volcanic landscape of lava flows, walls of fire, etc, inhabited by fire creatures.

The Water Domain is an aquatic environment of coral reefs inhabited by aquatic creatures.

The Earth Domain is a cavernous labyrinth of tunnels and caves inhabited by subterranean creatures.

The Glacial Domain is an arctic landscape of ice formations and snow inhabited by arctic creatures.

The Wild Domain is a wilderness of jungles, hills, swamps, deserts, and mountains inhabited by all kinds of wild beasts.

The Urban Domain is a sprawling metropolis inhabited by warring factions of humanoids and city dwelling creatures.

Each domain is contested by multiple factions at the start of the Game of Mortals.

At the heart of the central Courtyard lies the Pantheon, a magnificent temple dedicated to the six deities who devised the Game of Mortals: Kwan Yin, Chinese goddess of compassion; Thor, Norse god of thunder; Marduk, Babylonian god of civilization; Bast, Egyptian goddess of cats; Hades, Greek god of the Underworld; and Kali, Hindu goddess of destruction and creation.

Inside this temple, sealed within a permanent prismatic sphere, is an artifact called the Throne of the Gods. Whoever first sits upon it after the prismatic sphere is dispelled is granted divine status and joins the deities as an equal!

The prismatic sphere can only be dispelled by conquering all six of the Outer Domains and installing a single Overlord in each. But only one can sit upon the Throne of the Gods and become a god-king!

Here we can discuss as a combined group the campaign as it progresses from the point of unification.

There are already 8 or 9 active players between tables 1 and 2 combined. I am opening recruitment for up to 4 more players.

Submit a fully detailed character concept including backstory and basic crunch to be considered.

In the world of Fairytale Earth, circa The Year of Our Lord 1437, two separate bands of adventurers have begun quests that have come to crucial moments, and led their paths and fates to interwine.

The Crusaders of the Catacombs have tracked the Antichrist Nero to his secret subterranean sanctum under the Roman Catacombs, while in Morocco, the Desert Jackals have liberated a number of slaves from a despotic Arab slavelord, and are poised to assault his palace with the Crusaders' help!

If the combined might of the courageous Crusaders of the Catacombs and the daring Desert Jackals is sufficient to topple the tyrannical Emir of Marrakech, the combined champions of Good will then travel to Rome to finish the Antichrist, and go on to even more legendary adventures in the wild world of Fairytale Earth!

Hear ye! Hear ye! Brave adventurers are sought to explore the fantasy swords and sorcery sandbox that is DM MJ’s Renaissance Earth campaign! Heroes needed!

The Antichrist, Enperor Nero, became a lich after his supposed suicide many centuries ago, and disguising himself as such villains as Atilla the Hun, or Constantine, wreaked havoc and mayhem throughout the many kingdoms of Earth throughout the ages, according to his father’s (the Devil) will. Most recently disguised as some Italian nobleman in Rome, Nero called down from the firey planet Mercury a terrible red fire dragon named Wormwood, who now lairs in Mount Vesuvius and demands annual tribute of maidens and treasure from every prince and potentate throughout Europe and North Africa. With this dreadful ally, the Antichrist leads a secret Luciferian cult with branches all over Europe, the British Isles, and parts of North Africa and the Middle East. The Maid of Orleans has been burnt at the stake as a witch, after having been captured by Philip the Good of Burgundy, a high ranking member of the Church of Lucifer, and handed over to the English (the young King Henry VI’s Lancaster uncles were also in league with the Prince of Darkness).

The world is on the brink of Apocalypse! It is in dire need of heroes!

The Rambling Litany of Saint Jove of the Hermitage

We awoke from the most hideous nightmare into another nightmare today. I just knew it were gonna be one of those bad, crummy days, where you start out by failing to wake up from a bad dream--ye just dream that ye hath been woke, only to realize you keep on dreaming bad, bad stuff...

After breaking free of the cells we awoke in, we made quick work of sondry suspicious bystanders suchs as I'd sniffed the stink o' evil on. It was me, Saint Jove of the Hermitage, the one who writes these very words; Firestarter the Sarcastic; Flintstone Lightdrinker; Monocles, with his mighty Earth breaker; Reiki the half-ogre and his pet, Chuckles; and Calisthenics, who is apparently some kind of swamp elf wizard...

It seems the gods may be trying to tell us something with the strange dreams we woke up from today, yet even now, my memory of them doth wither like the grass in winter. My mind, my damned, accursed, flawed mind... I know I be mad, and I try best as I can to understand it myself, but if I could only recall that crummy dream... something about choices--directions, and options changing ominously, a yellow fog, a withered and inhuman monster hiding in the fog... This is the part that becomes to painful, apparently. My mind, my weak, wimpy mind has covered it up for me, it seems.

So now we're still trying to suss out our confusing situation. Unfortunately, my companions seem to have minds just as foggy and befuddled as mine own at the nonce. I pray to what gods will deign to hear my humble plea that we can make some sense of it all, in time to make a difference against... whatever the dreams tried to warn us of.

Here we go. So, it seems that there is not a Knowledge (technology) skill in RAW? If a link to such a skill can be provided, then it can be used. At any rate, Lady Zal's Knowledge (engineering) check would have the same modifiers, and she could put the rank she had in Knowledge (technology) into Knowledge (religion) or another skill if desired.

Our saga begins in the Spring of 4714 AR, in the rugged, barbaric, irradiated Numeria, Land of Fallen Stars....

In the shadow of the great Silver Mount sprawls the decadent, barbaric City of Starfall....

The foul smokes of this dangerous, violent city mingle with the alien radiations of the colossal Silver Mount, a crashed vessel of some ancient starfaring race, according to legends.... haunted by the spirits of the dead voyagers, monsters from across the starry void, and strange creatures of living steel, and filled with magic from an advanced civilization....

The Mages of the Technic League have held true power in Starfall ever since the current Black Sovereign, Kevoth-Kul, formed an alliance with the technomancers in his bid for the throne of Starfall.... For decades now, the Technic League has been the true power behind the throne in the Palace of Fallen Stars.... Once a mighty conqueror, Kevoth-Kul has been corrupted by his allegiance with the cunning technomancers, who ply the barbarian king with strange ichors distilled from the Silver Mount, bedevilling and beguiling him, and enabling his decadence and escapism into his darkest carnal desires by providing new playthings....

As Kevoth-Kul descends into addiction to the unwholesome ichors of the Silver Mount, a cunning advisor whispers in his ear: Ozmyn Zaidow, Admiral of the Technic League....

The 1st-level adventurers begin the campaign as slaves of the Technic League, either convicted criminals or those chosen by lots, trained in techniques of survival and exploration of the strange metal ruins that fell from the sky so long ago. Implanted with tracking devices capable of killing them to ensure their cooperation, they are sent into lesser metal ruins scattered throughout Numeria to recover technology for their arrogant masters.

June 1st, 1430 AD

It was a motley crew indeed that responded that evening on June the first, in the Year of Our Lord, 1430, to the clangor of a great bell falling from its mooring in the north belfry of Notre Dame cathedral. They had all been strangers to one another at that moment, enjoying tankards of beer in the common room of L'auberge du la Grotte, an inn on Isle de la Cite, just a bowshot from the cathedral.

An English knight, Alphonse Veritas.... A fugitive ninja from Nippon named Hisao.... A Norse sage and alchemist, Tyr Magnusson.... A charming Irish rogue named Paddy.... A more unlikely quartet of companions, one could hardly imagine.... Nonetheless, it was these diverse adventurers who answered the clarion call of a fallen bell that night.

Dashing out of the inn and through the cobbled streets that lead to Notre Dame cathedral, these four strangers came into the shadow of the great cathedral's facade, and as they rushed across the square in front of the three great portals, they became the latest targets of the gargoyles perched along the roof over the facade!

Though they had long been the benign protectors of the clergy and parishioners of Notre Dame, these gargoyles were lately the victims of a dark curse laid upon them by a necromancer, a traitor who had once been one of the priests of the cathedral, but now laired in a secret chamber within the subterranean catacombs that riddled the earth beneath the streets of Paris.

Now the gargoyles dislodged slate shingles, loose mortars, or crumbling pieces of architecture, and hurled them forcefully at the four approaching interlopers!

Discussion board open for Team Roma!

Here's the discussion thread for Team Paris....

This is the PbP for Team Rome in my Medieval Eurpe PbP campaign II...,

The kingdoms of Europe suffer under the tyrannical yoke of a new overlord: a great red wyrm named Conflagratius has flown to Earth from the fiery planet Mercury to make a new lair in the caldera of Mt Vesuvius, and demands annual tributes of treasure and maidens from every realm in Europe....

The Holy Roman Empire, the Italian city-states, the kingdoms of England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Transylvania, Poland, Hungary.... All must bow before the mighty dragon or face it's fiery wrath!

Hear ye! Hear ye!

Now recruiting for a RAW 1st to 20th level Pathfinder PbP set in a version of Medieval Europe where magic and monsters of myth and legend exist....

Gilgamesh, Beowulf, Arthur, Robin Hood, et al are historical figures rather than semi-legendary or outright myths....

Artifacts such as Excalibur, the Holy Grail, and Mjolnir are real....

A great red wyrm from Mercury has flown to Earth and has taken up residence in Mt Vesuvius, and demands (and receives) annual tributes of gold, jewels, and maidens from the kingdoms of Europe....

Who will (eventually) bring an end to this fiery tyrants reign of terror (after first gaining levels chasing gremlins out of cathedrals and purging catacombs of undead)?

Kinyama is likely otherwise engaged ATM.

I like the builds, fluff, and RP so far, this is going to be fun! :)

On December 21st, 2012, the stars were aligned and the way was opened for the desperately insane dictator of North Korea to perform the vile ritual that raised the sunken city of R'lyeh from the depths of the Pacific, unsealed the tomb of dread Cthulhu, and resurrected the Great Old One, unleashing an apocalypse of unimaginable horror and madness on the world.

In a matter of days, civilization had collapsed into screaming barbarism worldwide, as Cthulhu and his monstrous spawn reveled in bloody slaughter and wanton destruction. Humanity has been reduced to scattered bands of traumatized survivors struggling to eke out stealthy existences in ravaged and blood soaked wastelands.

No race restrictions, as bio-engineering can pretty much explain any racial crunch. RAW Core races, and all races from ARG, are acceptable.

This is a 32-page guide to happiness from "an anonymous stranger", who would appreciate feedback.

Nothing herein is intended to offend, and at the very least, hopefully it will provide some amusement to whosoever takes the time to read it.

Yesterday in my game, a ninja wearing slippers of spiderclimbing, fighting a number of foes in a narrow but high hallway, wanted to jump onto the ceiling over their heads and drop down into an empty square in their midst, and then make an attack on one of them.

It's my understanding that distance jumped counts as squares of movement, so the ninja, with speed 30 ft., jumped 20 feet onto ceiling, leaving him with 10 feet of movement left in a single move action.

Falling prone or dropping something is usually a free action, but in this case, the ninja was not falling prone, he was landing on his feet. Could he still make an attack in that round, even though he fell further than 10 feet? Or would that be a double move?

Here is a superhero base class I'm working on. Please feel free to make the most broken superhero you can so I can fix it! :)

I will first post the class info, then the superpowers, then power stunts.

SUPERHERO
Some are created in the laboratories of mad scientists or wizards; others are changed by exposure to unearthly forces or rare alchemical substances; still others were born as they are, perhaps because of divine blood running in their veins, or the influence of a rare conjunction of the heavens at birth. Those who use their rare gifts to protect others and fight against evil are known as superheroes; those who use their powers to dominate and destroy are known as supervillains; and those who walk the fine line between Good and Evil can be known as either, or both.
Role: The superhero is a formidable combatant, and an exceptionally versatile class. The superhero’s superpowers can potentially allow him to fill almost any role, be it front-line defender, scout, healer, crowd control, or mobile skirmisher.
Alignment: Any.
Hit Die: d10.
CLASS SKILLS
The superhero’s class skills are Acrobatics (Dex), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Fly (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (local) (Int), Perception (Wis), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Stealth (Dex), and Swim (Str).
Skill Ranks per Level: 2 + Int modifier.
CLASS FEATURES
The following are class features of the superhero.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A superhero is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with light armor, medium armor, and shields (except tower shields). A superhero is considered proficient with attacks granted by his superpowers.
Major Superpowers: At 1st level, a superhero gains two major superpowers. An additional major superpower is gained at 10th level, and another at 20th level. Some superpowers function like Pathfinder Roleplaying Game spells or special abilities, as noted in the superpower’s description. Superpowers do not require spell components, divine foci, or materials of any kind, even if they duplicate a spell that requires them. Optionally, you can exchange a major superpower for two minor superpowers.
Minor Superpowers: At 1st level, a superhero gains a minor superpower. An additional minor superpower is gained at 5th level, at 10th level, at 15th level, and at 20th level. Optionally, you can forego a minor superpower and save it until you attain a second minor superpower, at which point you must either choose two minor superpowers, or you can exchange the two minor superpowers for one major superpower.
Power Pool: At 1st level, a superhero gains a pool of power points, super-heroic energy he can use to activate his superpowers and power stunts. The number of points in a superhero’s power pool is equal to 1/2 his superhero level + his Constitution modifier, with a minimum of 1 power point. The power pool is replenished each morning after 8 hours of rest or meditation; these hours do not need to be consecutive.
Power Stunt: At 1st level, a superhero gains a power stunt. An additional power stunt is gained at 4th level, at 8th level, at 12th level, at 16th level, and at 20th level.
Bonus Combat Feat: At 2nd level, a superhero gains a bonus combat feat in addition to those gained from normal advancement. An additional bonus combat feat is gained at 6th level, at 10th level, at 14th level, and at 18th level. Upon reaching 6th level, and every four levels thereafter (10th, 14th, and 18th), a superhero can choose to learn a new bonus combat feat in place of a bonus combat feat he has already learned. In effect, the superhero loses the old bonus combat feat in exchange for the new one. The old feat cannot be one that was used as a prerequisite for another feat, prestige class, or ability. A superhero can only change one feat at any given level and must choose whether or not to swap the feat at the time he gains a new bonus combat feat for the level.
Bravery: At 3rd level, a superhero gains a +1 bonus on Will saves against fear. This bonus increases by +1 at 7th level, at 11th level, at 15th level, and at 19th level.
Superpower Exchange: Upon reaching 5th level, and every four levels thereafter (9th, 13th, and 17th), a superhero can choose to gain a new major or minor superpower in place of a superpower he has already gained. In effect, the superhero loses the old superpower in exchange for the new one. The old superpower cannot be one that was used as a prerequisite for a power stunt, feat, prestige class, or ability. A superhero can only change one superpower at any given level and must choose whether or not to swap the superpower at the time he gains the level granting the exchange. The exchange must be equal; a minor superpower can only be exchanged for another minor superpower, and a major superpower can be exchanged for either another major superpower or two minor superpowers.
Heroic Recovery: At 9th level, a superhero can heal his own wounds as a standard action. He can heal a number of hit points equal to his superhero level by spending 1 power point from his power pool.

Coming next: superpowers

An old terror has returned to plague the lands that border the forbidding Yatil Mountains! The folk of Perrenland, Highfolk, Ket, and Bissel have begun to whisper with fear that Iggwilv the Archmage has returned to the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth to reestablish her old kingdom! The first signs were a sudden rash of ill omens observed throughout those realms bordering the Yatils; then came the withering of crops, the curdling of milk, and other signs of black witchcraft; and finally, the return of Iggwilv was heralded in the capitals of the afflicted realms by black-robed witches, who delivered a dire ultimatum--accept Iggwilv as queen and goddess, or suffer drought, pestilence, and plague!

And so began the dreadful drought that has afflicted the lands bordering the Yatils for the last four months. Rats and vermin infest the cities and towns, spreading disease and draining granaries, pantries, and larders. A plague of locusts devoured what was left of the withered crops, and famine was soon felt in the afflicted lands--livestock were lost daily to starvation, and predators deprived of their usual prey.

Already reeling from the news of Iggwilv's return and the effects of her black coven's craft, the lands were to suffer even worse fates:

After the stalwart folk of the afflicted lands had resisted Iggwilv's demands for two months, a gargantuan red dragon began to ravage the countryside, burning the dead groves and causing wildfires to race across the lands. Virtually overnight, the capitals filled with refugees, and the countryside was abandoned. Many folk have fled to safer lands, and as word of the evils affecting the lands has spread far and wide, trade to those lands has ground to a halt, all but delivering the coup-de-gras to the doomed lands.

Unfortunately, the true coup-de-gras has finally been delivered:

Demons have begun to stalk the crowded streets of the cities, torturing and killing in wanton raids until they are driven off by the mightiest clerics, wizards, and other adventurers in residence. The subjugation of the afflicted lands has already begun--Ket and Perrenland have submitted to Iggwilv, and an exodus from those realms has begun, but many who try to flee are captured by Iggwilv's monstrous minions and publicly tortured to death. It seems that a second reign of Iggwilv the Witch-Queen is at hand!

This is for anyone who wants to run a PF-compatible post-apocalyptic RPG based on "the world's first sci-fi RPG". Enjoy! :)

Here is the most recent edition (as of 4/18) of R&W. Numerous edits have been made to fix errata, and the page count has been reduced by about 120 pages by reducing font and using double columns. Enjoy!

At long, long last:
Here is the final draft of my "World's-First-Science-Fiction-RPG"-inspired, PF-compatible, post-apocalyptic RPG.

Here is a ms word version for dm4hire, sketchpad, and anyone else who would like to modify a personal copy.

Enjoy!

ERRATA (thanks, Evil Genius!): On pg. 84, the last sentence of the section entitled "PSIONIC ITEM CREATION FEATS" should be replaced with: Psionic item creation feats, psionic items, and Psicraft checks are treated as magic item creation feats, magic items, and Spellcraft checks respectively.

Any other errata will be posted here as it is discovered.

One of the PCs in my game on saturday summoned a Large air elemental (CR 5), which has a speed of 100 ft., whirlwind is DC 18, and slam damage is 1d8+4. He used it to mow down several foes in a way that had everyone at the table rather increduluous (including the player who summoned the AE). By running back and forth across a line of three or four foes, the AE was able to hit each foe at least 4 or 5 times with its 100 ft. speed, forcing them to make DC 18 Ref saves to avoid being caught and a 2nd save to avoid 1d8+4 dmg on each pass.

Now imagine the same tactic used against a single foe, with the AE passing into and out of the foe's square ten times in one round (which it can do with 100 ft. speed), purposely dropping the foe (a free action) any time it gets caught in the ww in favor of forcing the foe to make a new save vs. the slam damage on every pass. If the foe makes its Ref save on half of the passes, that's still an average of 42 dmg per round. If the foe fails all of the saves, thats an average of 85 dmg per round, with the potential to do as much as 120 dmg in 1 round. Does that seem broken for a CR 5 monster?

Can anyone tell me which version of the OGL I should attach to a PF-compatible product? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I'm working on a post-apocalyptic RPG that is compatible with PF RPG. I've read the Pathfinder Compatability agreement, and I understand what I need to do on that end, but I'm unclear on how to use the OGL. Do I need written permission from WotC? And if so, how do I go about that? Is there a form someone could kindly link for me? I know I need to copy and paste the OGL at the end of my document, but I'm not sure which version I need to use, or where to find it, and would greatly appreciate some help. Thanks!

I noticed that there is a table in the CRB giving AC for objects based on size, but there seem to be no guidelines for determining what size category a given object falls into, or am I missing it?

Here it is as a word doc, for those who would like to do a bit of editing for their personal use.

Last night, a player in my game wanted to sunder a foe's weapon. He succeeded, then asked if he could Cleave the foe. My ruling was no, because it says "two adjacent foes". But I did think it was interesting, and thought I'd post here to get other opinions. Did I rule correctly?

Here is a free, unofficial, Pathfinder-compatible edition of Gamma World, the classic post-apocalyptic RPG originally published by TSR in the 70s. It was based on James Ward's earlier sci-fi RPG (the very first!), Metamorphosis Alpha. I welcome comments, suggestions, critiques, et cetera, and especially would appreciate feedback based on playtesting! Enjoy!

Can you target a square you suspect has an invisible foe in it with a cleave attack?
