Is there a feat that allows someone to use intelligence instead of dex or strength when making attack rolls?

The Factotum class from Dungeonscape has a class feature called Brain over brawn which allows the character to substitute Int for Str on attack, damage, and skill rolls. If I remember correctly this is gained at about 4th level.


Much as I enjoy receiving my Monthly bundles of delight, can you please cancel my Pathfinder adventure path, and Pathfinder modules subscriptions. Will catch up when I can
Thanks


Hit them with a area effect weapon such as Fireball instead of true strike

Well the RPG sector no longer has a good general RPG magazine. WOuld it be too crazy for paizo to go for a RPG magazine? Even if it was on PDF?

Could be interesting.


I propose Active Defense as a counter to Spring Attack.
Spring attack allows a melee attack without provoking an attack of opportunity from the defender.High level characters my be less likely to be caught out by this attack.

Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, Base attack bonus +6.

Whenever an opponent uses the Spring Attack Feat, you can make a single attack of opportunity against that opponent provided you are not flat-footed or otherwise denied using your Dexterity bonus.

Special: A fighter can select this as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Any thoughts, and if I have missed a similar feat please let me know where I can find it.


Regional Feats add to the character.

Regional Prestige classes not only gives characters something to aim for if they wish, but also helps the DM with NPC ideas.

Gazetteer type info for the area.

Guidelines for names.

Local Myths and legends.

Architectural styles in the area.

Typical food and drink available (and cost).

Guidelines for creating characters for the campaign so that players do not take redundant choices.

Local arms, armour and equipment.


This is exciting news. Not yet had time to download the pdf and read it, but will do asap. I believe that there is room for both 3.5 & 4E. Actually will Pathfinder RPG be more 3.75?


I was delighted to see such a quick response to the queries on the Magnimar maps.

If you guys are ever in my part of the world I will buy you a drink.

Funny that it looks like most of the naysayers in this thread are subscribers to multiple product lines. I don't believe that any of them are really done with Pathfinder. I want to see some Bluff checks.

Wow. I imagine everyone who remembers the Barrier Peaks stuff will be immediately adding this to their wish list.

Nice to see Mr. Spicer is in demand and keeping busy with the writing projects. Way to go!

Try the Beginner Box

Welcome to this wonderful hobby and this fine community. If you're just starting out, the Beginner Box is a great product. Jumping right into an adventure path and the core rules will probably be overwhelming. RPGs are also kind of tough with a GM and just one player so you should start thinking of friends you can recruit as well.

Enjoy.

Definition of "activist judge". A court that makes a decision the poster does not like.

I was thinking the same thing. How does deciding a case in accordance with the Constitution and in light of existing case law make a judge an activist?

Lagavulin & Laphroiag are two of my favorites, although Oban is my go to stuff more often than not. I also was recently given a bottle of Spinnaker, which is new to me, and quite nice. I'll take them all basically neat, with just a drop of water.

For bourbon, I have to go with Elmer T. Lee, and please, for the love of Cayden Cailean, don't mention that honey flavored crap in the same breath as the words "good bourbon." Seriously.

Also, don't get me going as to Southern Comfort, which as far as I'm concerned is a candy flavored drink and not whisky/ey at all.

Grappling

It's REALLY complicated, is like none of the other attack actions or subsystems, and is either totally useless (most cases) or extremely broken (when optimized to the extreme). Also, monsters with multiple attacks and grab special ability got the short end of the stick.

This. Grappling, FTW. Even with the D20 SRD Flowchart, it's a headache that takes too long to resolve.

There's the sticky thread On PBPs: A General Discussion for all PBPers in the Play-by-post Discussion forum as well.

As for my $.02, as a player, I always try to think of what I can post that will possibly move the story along. Sometimes, that's just posting whatever you can (Keliwyn shuffles his feet and readjusts his pack) just to get others posting. The #1 killer of pbp is everyone waiting for someone else to post. So, post early, post often, post whatever.

Due to some magical force from another dimension, have them all switch bodies . . . and I don't mean just switch PCs. Mix up the character sheets and hand them out randomly, and tell them they each need to roleplay their character in another character's body.

Or have eac member of the party inflicted with different combinations of blindess/deafness/invisibility.

Of jump them forward in time to D20 Modern.

Or just turn them into pixies. Or smurfs.
