I'm wondering if I'm just missing it but I'm playing around with multiclassing and one ability from the Fighter, Power Attack, says that the damage increases if you are a level 10 fighter. The character I'm making with this is a 13th level Paladin. Is he also considered a 10th level fighter for Power Attack or...? What level fighter is he?

I submitted my entry after a long time scrutinizing and editing it but now, looking at my copy, I see one error I'd really like to fix up. Is this possible?

Greetings friends and fellow gamers!

Paizo's newest comic series "City of Secrets" has a lot to offer Pathfinder fans. While it has some rough edges it has great potential to serve as a gateway, bringing gamers into the world of Golarion as never before.

Could someone please direct me to the proper place to post my item critique? I think I found an acceptable thread but I wanted to run it by folks who know and understand forums better than I. (More of a YouTube guy myself.)

Treads of Momentum
Aura moderate transmutation; CL 3rd
Slot feet; Price 5,000 gp; Weight 3 lbs.

Description

The wearer of these dark brown leather boots never quite feels perfectly settled on the ground. Upon close inspection a faint change in color is apparent across the sole. Like the opalescence of a sea shell it shifts from pale blue at the top to murky grey at the bottom.

Any round in which a wearer of these boots does not use their full speed in a movement action they may add the difference to their move speed the next round. The wearer must move at least 10 feet for this effect to apply and the bonus speed lasts only for the next round.

If the wearer uses the Bull Rush Combat Maneuver they surge forward as a torrent of water. They may apply their accrued bonus movement to the additional distance they push their target back.

Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, expeditious retreat, hydraulic push; Cost 2,500 gp

Could someone tell me whether it is permissible to record a review/playtest of the new classes from the Advanced Class Guide?

We'd likely go one of two ways:
1. Creating the characters on camera and talking about what we see there.
AND/OR
2. Just playing with the characters, not showing the guide but showcasing the class in action.

I intend on posting this video to my YouTube channel.

Many thanks for any feedback!

I'm an Elementary school teacher, a Game Master and a Player and I have yet to find an entry in which all three of these aspects are satisfied.

Good concept but poor formatting and writing.
Concept that makes much more work for the GM.
Idea that gives another class the same ability as my class...

I have also found I really shy away from liking the items that all but force one player into the spotlight to the detriment of the rest of the group.

A lot of these items would be great if there were only one player and the GM at the table, but, given that most games usually have a bunch of other people there, should we really have items that one person uses while the rest of the group waits for ten minutes for it to be resolved? Anyone else feel that way?

Is Party Balance Metagaming?

Is it against the spirit of the game to plan out your party before you play?

Is it metagaming to go in with the "ideal" party, with all skills covered and none of them being redundant?

Should players play what they want and care little for a balanced party or is the balanced party an essential element of the game?

Your input would be much appreciated on this topic!

Silver Crusade

A player has gotten themselves killed, or you did it, or they just got bored and let their character wander off. Now they want to play someone new. How do you bring this new character in to an already ongoing story? It isn't as hard as you might think!

In this video you'll find three main avenues to go down in order to bring a new character into the group:

1. Connecting the new character to the old
2. Connecting the new character to the overall quest
3. Connecting the new character by random chance and circumstance

If this is something you struggle with please take a look!

As always please feel free to expand on what I offer here by leaving a comment or video response with your own tips or suggestions.

Hail and well met fellow gamers.

I had a viewer ask me about the Master Chymist Prestige class and whether levels in that stacked with Alchemist for the purposes of Extra Discovery being using. I've compiled the question, some research and some thoughts in this video. I'd love to have your thoughts on the issue as well!

Is It Legit?

Additionally on the channel you will find rules discussion, live gaming sessions and many other gaming related topics. Your feedback and contributions to the conversation we have going about all the wondrous aspects of our hobby would be much appreciated.

Hail and well met fellow gamers.

I've put together a 6 part (and growing) series in which I teach a total noob, a totally stunning noob, all the ins and outs of tabletop gaming using the Pathfinder system. From basic stats and features, to spells, to an actual roleplaying session all major aspects of building a character are covered here.

Additionally on the channel you will find rules discussion, live gaming sessions and many other gaming related topics. I'd love to hear your feedback and have you contribute to the conversation we have going about all the wondrous aspects of our hobby.

On the latest in the series I am asked whether the feat Improved Critical is overpowered and speculate myself on whether weapon damages are appropriate.

This is one of many videos which attempts to answer questions submitted by the community or generated in one of our live games, which elicits responses from intelligent gamers like you. Questions are asked and answers are give and all benefit.

I've started dating someone and she doesn't know a thing about table top gaming. So I thought to put together a series of videos in an effort to win her over to our side by making it a bit less confusing. I hope I am successful.

Please let me know if I've left anything out or made an error in any way! This one is well worth the effort to have at the table. :)

Hail and well met fellow gamers!

My name is Andrew Armstrong and I run a YouTube Channel devoted to tabletop gaming (and a few other things). Our most popular series has been the Monday Night Gaming series in which we record and broadcast many of our sessions. Additionally there are a series of videos on Dungeon Mastering (DM Basics) and Rules Discussion (Is It Legit?!).

I thought to begin combining these elements into a new show called The Forge, where all of these elements are discussed in the form of an interview with a fellow gamer (Sean Conners of TheOutsiders68 is the first). In this interview we discuss upcoming gaming events, gaming rules, tips for DMs and players alike and even do a bit of roleplaying in the RP Showdown. Overall I really enjoyed the conversation and I think you will too.

Please check out The Forge here:

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the feedback on this guys. I ended up dropping the character only to replace it with another seemingly broken combination, particularly that of a Sacred Shield Paladin with Antagonize. I made another video about that which most of the feedback said it was a legit character. I'm still not entire sure though.

Here' a tip; pick a single sub forum as home for this thread and delete the duplicates. You'll earn no-one's respect for spamming the same exact thread across multiple areas.

It will be done anyway, so it might as well be your choice.

Yeah, there is still a lot I have to learn about the policies and protocols of forum posting.

Any chance of this post having a text companion to go with the video bit?

Nothing yet but I'm going to be working on a blog post to accompany this video for another site and can work in a general description there.

This question came up more than any other in response to my other videos:

“I love Dungeons and Dragons but I’m having a really challenging time putting a group together. It is hard to find people to play with!”

So I set out to make this, to offer a few tips that I’ve found effective in my own life, both concerning one’s public approach to talking about table top gaming and where one goes to find and meet other gamers.

Additionally this series has a companion series called Monday Night Gaming, which is a recorded session of my friends and I playing in a campaign.

Monday Night Gaming has entered its second season and has 20 videos now.
