Examples of feat boost ?

i don't like the arcane style : its too multiclass oriented ... But the bounty hunter is verry good !
You can add the Crossbow style (rapid reload, and some archery style) or add rapid reload too archery.
perhaps it could be a good idea to develope this idea. Each race will gain 2 sort of capacities : racial capacities and cultural capacities. Racial capacitie concern ability bonus (+2 Con of the dwarf, +2 dex of the elf), physical (ie independant of the culture : all elf have a good sight) skill bonus (+1 Climb of Halfelin, +2 perception of elves), base speed, saves bonus (+2 vs enchantement of elves, +2 vs poison of dwarfs) ... Cultural capacity concern : weapons profeciencies, cultural skill bonus (knowledges, appraise, spellcraft... ), ... A half race gain half the racial bonus of his parents, and choose one culture for her cultural capacity. Human gain +2 somewhere
and half bonus of the elfs. So, Half-elf gain +2 Dex or Int and can choose human cultural capacity (a feat ?) or elf ones ... Dwarf gain +2 Con, +2 Wis, -2 Cha
so Dworme (half dwarf, half gnome) are smal and gain : -2 Str, +2 Con, +2 Wis ...
I will use this modification : a human culture transform an exotic weapons to a martial one. So, Varisian consider the "star" as a martial weapon
and so on
And what about the svirfnebelin ?
What do you think about keep the classe but change LA from +3 to +2 ?
It's a good idea to not think about balance but about "design" : -2 Str, +2 Int, +2 Cha seems verry good to me : i prefere a real gnome flavour : smart, charismatic ... than hardy ! More : apply the same think to half orc.
I don't like to see Gnome like fey creatures.
I'm crazy about Lantan Gnome : intelligent, inventor. And work with illusion (Jan Jansen). I think there is too many class with Cha bonus, and this class are small ! Because small person are kind ? more than everybody ? There is 7 races avaible. Leaves the humans, that should be study latter. So 6 Stats and 6 races gives : Half Orc > Str
I give halfelin Wisdom thinking about Sam and Frodo : they could resist to the Ring... more than humans... they have WILL.
Then, we give this races an other bonus (i try to give one stat to one race). I eliminate the halfhuman : it's easier to have the same rules for all halfhumans. Elven > Int
Finally, i give a malus Elven > Con
So : HalfOrc : +2 Str
Favourite classes:
Does a wolf gain +1 hp / +1 skill by HD because he follow his favored class (animal) ? Because actually, a wolf only gain 2 skill points at all ! So +1 hp/+1 skill by racial HD for creatures that follow just one class ( animal, construct ... )
I suggest you create a web enhancement with the useful conversion : > a guid to convert prestige class (transform 0-level to at will, give new domain, needed feat : Tracks ... )
In particular, say when NO CONVERSION is necesseray it's a good idea (example : "prestige don't need conversion, but you must change the skills"
I have some question about the 3.5 to Pathfinder conversion. I start with Wolf.
become
Will we see a conversion of monster ? I think about a conversion of monster how have some feat / power missing in Pathfinder ( Track ). What do you think about the "Track to Skill focus(Survival)" conversion ?
i dont like the prohibited schools rules... The wizard became too powerful. > no XPs cost for Scroll ( and magic item )
> no real prohibited school
... I think give the sorcerer few spell from their bloodline (add to the "spell known" and not to "spell avaible") and re-introduice the prohibited school will balance the game
I don't really like the Plant Domain first power : Wooden strike.
Animated Objet, type : Plant. level 1 > Small
What do you think ?
Elf gain +2 Dex, -2 Con, +2 Int
Orc gain +4 Str, -2 Int, -2 Wis, -2 Cha
I think it's too different. Why not simply give +2 For to the half orc ?
I suggest : Half elf gain +2 Dex or +2 Int
And it's become easier to create half-race : Halfelin +2 Dex, +2 Cha, -2 Str
Dwarf : +2 Con, +2 Wis, -2 Cha
Ogre : +10 Str, -2 Dex, +4 Con, -4 Int, -4 Cha
Ogre : +10 Str, -2 Dex, +4 Con, -4 Int, -4 Cha
It would be a great idea if Pathfinder have a guid to create characters : how to choose race, wich class, why, wich feat, wich skill... For new players it's very important to create a nice character in "short" time. Example : If you want to be someone how life in forest, use bow and is very skilled, do a Ranger, human or elf. This feat is recomended (....), and this skill...
Does Pathfinder will inclue rules for Alchemical Item ? I think it's a good idea to create simples rules for alchemical items, inspired by the codex ones. example
Alchemical boost
Alchemical special
and so on ...
It's seems Pathfinder will inclue the principals information of the DMG : NPC, XP, level up, creating monster. It will not inclue the MM.
I talk for the french speaking player : there is traducted character sheet here :
There is other sheet made by french fan on this forum...
I always ask why a cleric must be a fighter ? it does not matter the worship : every cleric gain the same skill, the same armor, the same weapons (except deity's one) Why not give them one skill du to their god ? It's sad that a druid of nature doesn't have knowledede (nature) or survival. Here is my suggestion : add 2 skill at the cleric spell list, at the choice of the DM, or add 1 skill / domain Air : fly
I see a problem : Skill Focus (spellcraft) and combat casting have strange effect !
In the other hand, I like the disparition of Concentration.
The disparition of Concentration give every class a free skill point, and it could be spend in Spellcraft. So i think the rules should stay like this.
Fait un tour sur le scriptorium : il y a une version francaise de l'alpha 3.
http://forum.le-scriptorium.com/index.php?showforum=86 In english : Go on Le Scriptorium, there is an traduction of Alpha3.
:D We have some good word... But we don't use "couteau de brèche". "Couteau de brèche" is a good word for "Coutille" / Glaive ... i think ...
In english you use Misericorde for la Miséricorde (fr). Miséricorde = Forgivness. Here is some translation in D&D: English / French
Lance = Lance d'arçon
Ranseur = Corsèque Falchion = Cimeterre à deux mains, but the translation of Falchion is "Fauchon"
The terms of the armor are good. Chainmail = cotte de maille.
Tower shield is pavois
Oups !
Nain = Dwarf ;)
Yes ! There is strange traduction, but in general, it's very good. It's hard to translate with a word an idea. There isn't always an equivalent.
http://www.regles-donjons-dragons.com/ HAve fun finding the correct term !
Yes it is ! It's this official traduction... I didn't know the original version... And it's not so easy to translate English to french or french to english ... Sometimes there is strange thinks ...Mobility is Souplesse du serpent = flexibility of the snake
We will play with this characters Saturday, June 7th or 14th.
I will play a Baldur's gate 2 Pen and Paper, using Pathfinder rules.

PROBLEM : change the Tracks feat from the wolf to Skill focus (Survival)
GOOD POINT : the encounter creation,
How can i use the were- template in Pathfinder ? Level adjustement ?
and how work the transformation animal and hybrid ?
Hi !
The party start level 4, all the NPCs are avaible. Minsc : Barbarian 4.
Plus, i will use this score for Minsc : 20 15 16 8 10 7 (close to 18/93 16 16 08 06 09, in BG2)
Of course, he got his miniature giant space hamster : Boo ! Cernd : Druid 4. But ...
I think use this :
At level 12, can transform to Greater Werewolf, 1/day
He can use his weapons in hybrid form, and cast spell.
At leat, Jan Jansen will be a Faerun gnome, ie -2 Str +2 Con +2 Int, Wizard and Bard favored class. Viconia will use the 3.5 Drow template, with an LA +1.
Wich character will use Weapons finesse ? A character who is in combat, but without Force : Ranger, Rogue, Bard? ... Ranger -> can take at first level
So, there is no problem !
Pathfinder is a great opportunity to continue to play with 3.5 rules.
Could you publish advice to convert characters from 3.5 to Pathfinder ? I think about poor GM
If Pathfinder will replace the 3.5 rules, it will be very usefool ! Another idea : create a new drs-rules for few language (english, french, spanish, italian, german), such as http://www.d20srd.org/ or http://www.regles-donjons-dragons.com/ (french's one)
I use this feat : Monk style (Choose a weapon) Prerequisites
Benefit
Special
I think about the ECL of the Pathfinder race, and the ecl of the monsters races. the Pathfinders race are more powerfull than the traditionnal race. Just a little : they have a +2 in a stat. So :
does a monster with racial hit dice gain extra feat ? does paizo will do a guide for monster : extra feat, extra skill point and so on ?
paladin with sneak attack it's not a problem : paladins have to protect the good, and destroy the evil.
There is a prestige class for paladin-rogue in complete divine (??), about such class.
And it can allow cool characters, very fun : Paladin + Sorcerer (dragon), disciple of Bahamut
Faerun have done such think with the clergy (i think about monk+sorcerer, monk+cleric ou monk+rogue) Let the DM juge if it's good or not ...
A solution from L5R : change the stat associate with the skill, if it's more appropriate Acrobatics + Dex for gymanstic action
and Acrobatics + Int to have an idea about the difficulty of the test Fly + Dex to fly
and so on
Perhaps it could be a good idea to add a "guide to the class" for each class, to give some advise to beginner ? I think advise about :
For the equipement, i think it's a good idea to add adventure's kit, with description, price and weight ( for size M and S ). adventure kit : backpack, torch, flint and steel, rope ...
It's a good idea to add more choice for fighting style : Range
and so on ...
The first favored class for the half orc is Barbarian. I think halforc are humanoid close to nature and wild. So why Cleric ? I'd prefere druid favored class, like in the eberon/warcraft ... : orc are very close to nature, so they have shaman and so... Cleric are more for civilised nation
Goods things... I will use this rules : if the check is fail, a strong creatures appaers and attack the wizard ( nishruu, aoa or astirax from midnight are some possibility ).
perhaps give the choice to the necromancers : skeleton, zombie or ghost. For ghost, i think minor ghost (a spirit?) ie a ghost animal who not have all the power of the ghost archetype. And why not a list of familiar for each school of magic ? A familiar that improve ? The wizard choose a familiar from the original list, but the familiar gain power in fonction of the school ? Evocator : Familiar transform to kind of elemental ( same apparence, a cat is a cat, but with elemental power : cat becomes cat fire elemental ) Necromancer : familiar transform to undead Invocator : familiar grows ( cat becomes cougar, tiger ... ) ...
Green Goblin give very good idea to RPG .
You choose ( or roll ) a background that give you favored classe, skill bonus, feat bonus and so on.
We could give each race a list of background. Example from this pdf: Elfe could have Artistocrat, Hunter
This rules give the opportunity to have different character, different bonus from each race : two dwarf warrior will not be the same.
Plus : give some race iconic +2 bonus, and the background give the other +2 -2. Example : elf gain +2 Dex. Hunter give +2 For -2Int ?
I think Pathfinder or 3.75 rules could be more usefull if they suggest such kind of rules. Paizo already done the same think with the xp rules. They could develop 3 base system : Vance's, Point's system (like Psion or channeler at Midnight) and Skill system. More than a new game, more than a rules-suggested-book (like Unaerthed Arcana ), Pathfinder could propose few rules to modify and improve 3.5
An idea, a compromise (?) between Vance's system and Skill system. The spellcaster follow is table progression for spell. He use all his spell for the day, and want to use an other. At this moment, he use the skill system ... So there isn't problem of adaptation for NPC, and give the PC lot of opportunity.
okay ... so we can propose creations system different from the DMG, and it can be OGL. Example, 4+4d4, forget the weak.
I have a question about OGL, and the PHB - DMG.
Pathfinder seems to be a good solution for those who want to stay with 3.5. But a RPG must have it's own rules ( PHB DMG creation evolution ) to exist, and 3.5's rules will not be editate anymore ...
Why not give them a feat ( restricted to warrior list ) ? This will give the halforc a very good fighter, like some players wants he to be ...Half elf could dain the humain skill, half orc the bonus feat ... But ... it's too powerfull
you talk about give the half orc the advantage of both human and orc ( like half elf ). But witch kind of orc race we will use ? Orc
Elf
Half Elf
Human
I like the +2 +2 -2 choice, or the +2 For +2 somewhere.
o do it yourself and don't inflict thinly veiled tribute gods on the rest of us. I like the deities of Golarion as is. More of them is not something I look forward to. The hundreds of indistinguishable gods of Toril and Oerth are appalling to me. Having a well developed and small pantheon that can get depth instead of breadth in their detail is a good thing. Yes. I hate this hundred god unmemorisable ! The eberoon idea it's good : give an adjective or a common word as a god's name : The Keeper, the shadow, the silver flame ... The roman and the greek have the same god, with different name.
Perhaps change Gygax into Agyx, Xagyg ... I don't like to use the real name. (see Vance and Vecna )
maybe use this rules : http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/magic/rechargeMagic.htm each spell have a recharge times, and you must wait this times between to spell. Example : teleport wait 4 hour !
