I couldn't really find an answer to these anywhere.

Do touch spells that target friendly and willing allies, such as Cure Light Wounds, actually require an attack roll? Is it an attack roll that the ally is just choosing to auto-fail, or does it just no longer require an attack roll?

Can I choose to roll an attack roll with Cure Light Wounds, even if an ally is willing?

Players are slowly creating the world they want to play in. I have two people really itching to get the game going.

First poll is closed and the results are in. Seems the world is destined to have 5 continents. Second poll is up now, too. As well as a world building opportunity in those forums.

Anyone have any character ideas for me to populate the world with?

I was thinking about making a PDF that compiles all the information collected there and on here. What do y'all think?

There have been a lot of posts on world building by GMs, but has anyone ever decided to involve their players in the act? I had an idea to start a polling and writing process to get my players involved in world creating. I mean, what's cooler than playing in a world that you participated in creating?

This thread is going to be not only to discuss this idea, but I am inviting everyone here to vote in my polls too to help create the world, should they be interested in world building.

And finally, I am going to leave this open for people to submit NPCs and such, whether based on your character or just interesting character ideas. Let's populate this world together.

I am not good for names, but...

2. The Laughing Monk - A middle-aged man with a constant source of humor. So much so one would never suspect him of being such an accomplished and deadly fighter. Master of a style of combat that emphasizes on speedy and precise shots with deadly force.

I think some of the skills should be rolled together. If you want to get more for your skill points you could do the following.

Climb and Swim can all be rolled into Athletics.
Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Sense Motive can all be rolled into Speechcraft.
Appraise, Disable Devise, and Sleight of Hand can be rolled into Thievery.

Fly could be put under Acrobatics (or Athletics), Ride can actually be put under Handle Animal, and Use Magic Devise can actually be put under Spellcraft. You could even put Heal under survival, or even Disguise under Craft.

If done like this you would have 15 skills, listed below.

Acrobatics
Athletics
Craft
Escape Artist
Handle Animal
Knowledge
Linguistics
Perception
Perform
Profession
Speechcraft
Spellcraft
Stealth
Survival
Thievery

I do support the Craft, Knowledge, Perform, and Profession skills staying as they are though.

Wow, that's actually a pretty creative idea. I also find that most of my current group can't stick with a character for very long, and your way seems to settle that easily! We just..well, they usually run into deadly traps to see their characters off, instead of simply retiring them..dammit haha. I myself never really like delving into Timeline stuff; I've never seen a display where timelines didn't make everything grim dark sad I very much just like one consistent world, though time travel I allow, I just put a very specific rule on it; should...

Well thank you. It's cool because you can try a whole bunch of different world types and see what the players like most, and there are countless race options because of the many different laws and such of the world. In one world Elves have wings, in one they are aquatic, and in another they may even have fire resistance! It allows players to 'playtest' different classes and races.

It is tough on me, the DM/GM, though. I have so much to type up. x.x

I try not to mess around too much with time. I have been in games where that just screwed up everything. 0.0

I have been playing in -and creating- homebrew worlds since I started roleplaying. Every game I play, Pathfinder or otherwise, I prefer to make the world completely different than the norm for the rp. Every time I create a new world, I use bits and pieces from older worlds, so each world is more fleshed out and deep than the last. So far it creates some fun combinations and interesting situations.

Most of the people I play with cannot settle on a character, so my newest homebrew "world" is actually many worlds, across different timelines and through different material planes. These worlds have what are called "World-Wounds" and "World-Souls". World-Wounds are portals to other worlds in different universes or timelines and World-Souls are the only people who can traverse them safely. However, each time a person travels a World-Wound, they becomes someone else (and start again at level 1). So, for example, Gruck the Level 5 Goblin Ranger goes through a World-Wound... and comes out the other side as a Level 1 Ifrit Sorcerer.

They are not locked to staying to each world, and can switch back and forth freely. The enemy himself is a World-Soul and the main campaign draws from each of the worlds, in addition to each world having a main story that extends from level 1 to level 30. Needless to say, I have been spending a lot of time working on this and it isn't even close to being done. Won't be for another few months, at least.

I am a novice at creating feats, but here's one I think you might like.

Steel Kick
Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike, Dex 14+
Benefit: Many martial monks learn to use a small blade that is spun around the ankle, and used to enhance their kicks and leave their hands free. You may wield an ankle blade (see below) around your ankle, which increases unarmed strikes using your feet and does not take up space in either hand. Because of the unique way one must keep the ankle moving to benefit from the blade, you cannot wield more than one.
