![]() I'm working on a horror campaignin which fear and terror will be huge elements and, knowing my player's, as soon as I mention this I just know that they'll all decide to play paladins. So I was thinking of chaanging the Aura of Courage ability to something similar to the Aura of Purity ability that the Oath Against Corruption Oathbound Paladin archetype, which is as follows. At 3rd level, you gain a +4 sacred bonus on saves against spells and effects from creatures of the aberration type. Allies within 10 feet gain a +1 sacred bonus on these saves. This ability functions only while the paladin is conscious, not if she is unconscious or dead. This ability replaces aura of courage. One additional change I would make to that ability is instead of just aberrations, I would allow each paladin to select from either outsiders with the evil subtype, evil-aligned dragons, or an undead creatures, and allow the +4 bonus to apply to their choice. ![]()
![]() I originally put this in the homebrew section, but it was suggested to me that this is a better home for it. So my weekly group met last night and I brought a new little craft I made to help with the fact, that while I'm the DM, I really don't have many miniatures. So I took a piece of 1/2" plywood, I was originally going to go with 1/4" but decided that it might be a bit too flimsy during transit, then cut it into squares matching this diagram. I then sanded the surface, gave it a primer coat of white paint and then used Rust-Oleum 241140 Dry Erase Brush-On Kit to give it a nice customizable finish.
After trying it out tonight at the game, in which they actually worked pretty well, allowing for combat situations to be set up fairly quickly, and since all my players seemed to think they were a good idea, I figured you'd like to see them as well. ![]()

Out of a 24"x10" scrap of plywood I had laying about in my garage, I was able to cut out a total of: 8 large sized templates, 8 huge sized templates, 4 gargantuan sized, and 2 colossal sized squares.

Not sure if this is the right sub-forum, but if it isn't feel free to move it to where it belongs. ![]()
![]() I have been running a group of 3 players through WotR and they have gotten to the end of book 3. The thing is after losing a few players through the course of the campaign, we'd like to add a new player or two for when we resume gaming in the new year. If anyone is interested just leave me a private message or reply here and I will get back to you. ![]()
![]() So I'm going to be starting Wrath in about a week and a half, but I've run into a slight snafu, nothing to major just looking to avoid retreading some things that happened in our last campaign. Here's the story, in our last AP (not run by me) one of the characters was revealed as the child of a god, now the problem is this player is the one in the group who chose the "Touched by Divinity" for wrath, so fellow board users here's my question, what can I change the trait's backstory to to avoid having the same player wind up with the same exact reveal two campaigns in a row. ![]()
![]() I have always liked the cavalier class, but rarely see my players choose it on account of the mount, so I took the marshal class from 3.5 which i enjoyed thoroughly and mashed them together. Forgive me if this has been done before, but as I am thinking about allowing this in the Wrath campaign I will be running soon and was looking for a little feedback. The Commandant:
Some cavaliers care not for personal glory, they understand that the true road to victory lies with the help of a group of stalwart companions. These soldiers, dubbed commandants use all their skill and knowledge to push their compatriots to the pinnacle of performance in combat. To be a commandant is to know that you are a small, yet extremely vital part of something greater.
Aura of Command (Ex): The commandant exerts an effect on allies in his vicinity. He can produce different effects, or auras, over the course of his career. The commandant may project one minor aura and (starting at 2nd level) one major aura at a time.
Hold the Line (Ex): At 3rd level, a commandant has mastered the ability to use his force of will to help his allies defend against anything the enemy can throw at them. He gains Coordinated Defense (Advanced Player's Guide page 156) as a bonus feat. In addition three times per day he may extend this feat as an immediate action to all allies affected by his aura for one round. This ability replaces cavalier's charge Press the Advantage (Ex): Starting at 4th level, a commandant can direct and motivate his allies to act immediately. Once per day, as a standard action, he may grant an extra move action to any or all of his allies within 30 feet (but not to himself). Each of the affected allies takes this extra move action immediately, acting in their current initiative order. This extra action does not affect the allies' initiative count; the round continues normally after the commandant's turn is over (this may mean, for example, that an ally whose initiative count immediately follows the commandant's may get an extra move action from the commandant, followed directly by a full round worth of actions on the ally's turn.)
Battle Insight (Ex): At 11th level, as a swift action, a commandant can grant his Charisma modifier as an insight bonus on the attack rolls made by a single ally within line of sight that can both see and hear the commandant. That ally gains the bonus until the end of the commandant’s next turn. The commandant can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Charisma modifier. This ability replaces mighty charge. Flash of Brilliance (Ex): At 20th level the commandant can, in a moment of clarity, push his companions farther than they could ever imagine. As standard action, for a single round, all allies (But not the commandant himself.) within 60 feet gain the benefits of all the commandant's major auras. This ability can be used once a day + the commandant's Charisma modifiers. This ability replaces supreme charge. On a side-note if anyone can come up with a better name feel free to let me know. Oh, and if this belongs in the conversion sub-forum feel free to move it there. ![]()

![]() Does the redirection ability of a Flowing Monk interrupt the attack in which causes it? I'd say it doesn't, but I just want to make sure. Redirection: Redirection (Ex): At 1st level, as an immediate action, a flowing monk can attempt a reposition or trip combat maneuver against a creature that the flowing monk threatens and that attacks him. If the combat maneuver is successful, the attacker is sickened for 1 round (Reflex DC = 10 + 1/2 the monk's level + monk's Wisdom modifier to halve the duration), plus 1 additional round at 4th level and for every four levels afterward (to a maximum of 6 rounds at 20th level). The monk gains a +2 bonus on the reposition or trip combat maneuver check and the save DC for redirection increases by 2 if the attacker is using Power Attack or is charging when attacking him. The benefit increases to a +4 bonus and an increase of the saving throw by 4 if both apply.
At 4th level, a flowing monk can use redirection against an opponent that the flowing monk threatens and that attacks an ally with a melee attack. At 8th level, a flowing monk can make both a reposition and a trip maneuver as part of a single immediate action with this ability. At 12th level, a flowing monk can use redirection against any opponent that attacks him in melee, even if the flowing monk is not threatening the opponent who attacks him. A flowing monk can use this ability once per day per monk level, but no more than once per round. This ability replaces stunning fist. ![]()
![]() Well I finally gave in an attempted to stat out my favorite comic character for a 1st level one shot me and my group are doing, so let me know what you guys think... Nightwing:

![]() I've been working on my homebrew world and came across some of my notes I wrote over a decade ago back in high school, where I based the beings that chased the Dwarves to the surface was based on the Ancient Enemy from Phantoms by Dean Koontz. Now my questions is, as I am horribad at creating creatures, I decided to ask for some help from the messageboards here. One idea I had was just basing it off the PF Shoggoth just with a shapechanging ability and telepathy, but if any of you guys have a better idea, feel free to toss it at me. ![]()
![]() I'm preparing a homebrew campaign and I have almost everything prepared except the class of the main villian, I know she going to be the cult leader of a great old one, and I am pretty locked on her being a Worm That Walks, and that requires a spellcaster I just don't know what class to give her. I'm almost certain she should be a divine caster but can a Druid make an interesting villian? Especially if I don't give her an animal companion? ![]()
![]() I'm going to try and build my NPC only Elf race with this playtest, let's see if everything adds up right. Now some of it may not add up with the requisites in the document, but I'm going for the closest I can get so bear with me. After their disastrous uprising against the very Gods who created them over the introduction of the Human Race, the Elves of Talora retreated to the Sundered lands with their Thanatonic Titan allies to plot their revenge. Elf, Taloran
Total Race Points: 16 Far as I can tell there was no modifiers for alignment and does anyone know what the exact cut off is between Medium and Large Size? These Elves are anywhere between 7 and 8 feet tall so if they should be Large let me know *Edit - mixed up which abilities get the penalties* ![]()
![]() My group has just recently finished running Rise of the Runelords and for our next AP (which is still undecided) I decided to break my usual motif and play a cleric, this is the first time I ever played something besides a fighter since 2nd edition so I was just wondering on some ways to go about this, here's what I have so far. He, or she will have a 25 point buy and for RP purposes I've decided to become a follower of the Lost Prince and am leaning pretty heavily towards taking the Madness and Martyr domains, everything else I kind of need a little help with such as feat selection and stats. I don't care whether I wind up as a battle cleric or a healer. ![]()
![]() recently I've been converting my homebrew 3.5 edition to pathfinder, and was wondering if anyone has any ideas for the granted powers for a Winter Domain? I am so dead on my feet from this project and work and moving to a new apartment I just can't think of anything good and was hoping for a few suggestions. |
