2. Glambrax. A demented mullet wearing alcoholic human afflicted with dwarfism. Numb from years of self abuse and wild with rage at his own existence, he wields a rusty two handed flail.
What ! No one cares about my rad class? Cummon at least bring the hate!
So here is my take on it. Frankensteined from many sources. I designed this a while ago and one player in my game is a 3rd level merchant. It works well. Very weak in a dungeon setting, but makes up for it when the party hits the town :) Merchant Class, Characteristics: Roguish in their approach, bardish in their demeanor, and with a penchant to outshine most clerics with their fervent belief in the power of money, merchants are at the same time generalists and experts. They are heavily focused on bartering and negotiating, making them the ideal face of the party. In combat, they tend to be lacking at first, but their ability to "throw money" at problems means they will be better equipped (armor and weapon-wise) than the average character of the same level . Alignment: Any
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The merchant is proficient with all simple weapons. He is proficient with light armor. Level BAB Fort Ref Will 1st +0 +0 +2 +2 Trade Knowledge . Barter Master.
Trade Knowledge A Merchant adds his class level on all Knowledge Local, geography and Nobility checks skill checks, profession Merchant checks and appraise checks. Barter Master - Merchants have a knack for finances, and can negotiate even with the trickiest customer. At 1st level, the merchant receives a 5% discount on any purchase. This bonus increases at 5th level and 10th level by 5 % Efficient Packing - Merchants know how to get the most out of their available space. For the purposes of determining carrying weight, when using a backpack or sacks a Merchant is considered to have a strength 1 higher. This This bonus increases at 5th level, and 10th level. Contacts: Once per week per bonus point of the ability you have the chance to pull some strings in order to gain some advantage or obtain some information. You make a contact roll, 1d20+Cha+Contact bonus. This bonus increases at 5th level, and 10th by 1 more. The DC to beat depends on the kind of favor you are requesting, as follows: DC 10 – Simple request: Obtain information regarding matters not known to the common public. DC 15 – Average request: Obtain secret information (for example, a secret entrance to the castle), obtain simple aid (for example, obtain lodging for one night). DC 20 – Difficult request: Obtain information that risks the life of the informer, obtain more complex aid (for example, a loan). DC 25 – Illegal request: Obtain information that is forbidden and may attract the interest of powerful individuals, obtain a forbidden item, request aid to assassinate, etc. The DM should determine the DC according to the request, and must take into account the availability of contacts Uncanny Barter: Beginning at level 2, the merchant sells his items at a minimum price of 60 % the market price value instead of 50%, provided that he has successfully identified and appraised the item. In addition to this, Once per week he may also attempt a Diplomacy roll when bartering to increase his selling price, adding his Uncanny Barter bonus to this roll. He makes an opposed Diplomacy check against the potential buyer. If the merchant beats the check, the buyer purchases the item at full market price. If he beats the opposed check by 15 or more, he sells the item at 125% market price Connoisseur: Upon reaching level 3, the merchant has become an expert when it comes to appraising the items of his trade. He automatically and successfully appraises common or well known items. He may also take 10 in his appraise rolls for rare or magic items Weight Item: So accustomed to weighing and dealing items, the Merchant is able to accurately precise the true weight of any tradable goods merely by sight, be it sack of grains or a single sword Recognize Forgeries:, The character gains the ability to recognize any forgery at first glance.Giving a + 10 to dectect forgeries linguistics roll. This includes items masked with illusion spells but does not grant him the ability to see what is the true nature of the masked item. Basic Security (Ex): A merchant is used to pickpockets, cheats and thieves. He gains +5 to any roll to spot a Sleight of Hand attempt. Detect Magic (Sp): Merchant can detect magic items by touch. Unlike the Detect Magic spell, this works only on magic items rather than spell effects. It tells the merchant if the item is magic and its power level. Takes one minute. Incredible Coins Counting: No one can count money as quickly as a Merchant. In fact, they developed an extraordinary ability to almost instantly count money simply by having a good look on the amount of money there is to count. That the treasure is contained in a chest or scattered in a lair, the elven trader will be able to say exactly how much coins of each types is present. An ability much praised by adventurers. Takes one minute. Discernment - You've seen enough con artists and trickery to know when you're being duped. you get + 10 on any Sense Motive check you make to get a hunch that someone is lying to you. Hand Gestures - Any good merchant has to be able to speak with a variety of people in a variety of ways, and sometimes, it's best to let your hands do the talking. Make a DC 15 Linguistics check; if you succeed, you can communicate with an intelligent creature and understand them as in a simple fashion ( as long as they can make hand gestures ) True Value: At this level the Merchant he can accurately precise the true value of any items, even identified magical items. Identify(Sp): The Merchant may attempt an appraise roll to identify an item, as per the identify spell. The DC is 20 + 1 per for every 1000 gp in the base price. Only one attempt per item allowed. This takes 10 minutes. Trading expertise: A merchant may once per month sell an item of his choice for twice the market value. This is not automatic and needs a Diplomacy roll DC 10 +1 per 1000 GP Value It represents the sale of a specific item to a wealthy customer.
I found the coolest magic item SOMEWHERE on the wilds of the Internet
Anyway has anyone seen this magic Item ? and Can link me?
Cheers :)
Nice spells - Im gunna use them my next game vrs the players.

Bring the hate or yoink then for your campaign today ! TOTALY RAD MAGIC AND ELEMENTAL CRIT CHART. Critical wounds by failed saving throw against magical attacks- Fire, cold, acid, electricity, or Poison - a critical wound will result on a natural one or on a hit roll of 20 (and then confirmed ) with touch attacks( Ray spells etc ). Armor, Shield, and Equipment Damage Acid, fire, lightning, and other lethal energies and substances can quickly destroy a character’s armor, every critical strike endangers the victim’s armor and equipment since the character already failed a saving throw.

All crits with fire cause the target to be lit on fire - and cause metal to become hot per heat metal - 2d4 then 1 d4 then 1d4 FIRE- Victim takes 1d6 points of damage immediately. In each subsequent round, the burning character must make another Reflex saving throw DC 15. Failure means he takes another 1d6 points of damage that round. Success means that the fire has gone out. (That is, once he succeeds on his saving throw, he’s no longer on fire.) A character on fire may automatically extinguish the flames by jumping into enough water to douse himself. If no body of water is at hand, rolling on the ground or smothering the fire with cloaks or the like permits the character another save with a +4 bonus. FIRE CRIT Roll a d 8 . 1-4 On fire.

Ryric ! You have good points. I totally diddnt see these things. I have a brutal critical hit system that turns high level fighters/barbarians/etc into total killing machines and this seems to balance it out. ( when they arent being incompetent clowns ) It does make combats pretty slap stick thats for sure. And I have had the odd player say "As i get better at fighting , shouldnt I fumble less ?" - To which I reply with a quasi historical speech about combat being incredibly fluid and frought with mishaps. I do such a good job of this speech and the speech SOUNDS so true - that we just keep playing using the insane system... AND as for the casters - Im about to write up a cool spell critical hit chart that kicks in if someone fails a save on a 1 or gets hit by a ray attack with a 20 ! That should balance things out.
PMed you the crit hit chart. Here is the link to the post as well http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2pyq7?Worlds-Newest-Critical-Hit-chart#1 Let me know how you go with it.
All my players think this is great ! It applies to the monsters as well.
Im the DM...*Sad face*
LOL. No ... everyone knows green smoke smells like a diaper full of Indian food that has been found on the beach.
I Like it. But too busy making up stuff for my own game to help.
We use this in my game... its brutal. FUMBLE CHART Once a one has been rolled the rollees turn ends and they get no further actions this round. Only one round of actions is missed . If a roll calls for a magic weapon to be broken or damaged roll here instead... D20 roll + of weapon with a + for each ability. Natural 1 - Explodes in a ball of magic all in 15 ft take 1-6 D6 from magic force damage and bits and are knocked prone no save.
Weapon breaking.
If no weapon then limb bashed in deflection - enemy free attack. 1 Slip over and Crit self . roll a confirmed crit ./ if weaponed - if no weapon slip and bang head stunned 1-3 rounds.
20 - MIRACULOUS recovery - Whole new turn of actions.
Heres a chart I just finished for my game.
Reeking of MERP and Rolemaster... CONFIRMED CRITICAL CHART

Always going on about the crunch... This is an outrage..
Eventually they came across a massive stone entrance. On further inspection, Boldarian noticed some dwarven scriptures….maybe this was what they had all been looking for… a safe haven, a reprieve; somewhere to rest and eat good food, to find equipment…. and weapons. Boldarian worked out it was some kind of riddle and with Jurlue they made short work of it, they had opened the portal. Sarjin and the others moved boldly forward, little knowing what lay ahead. They soon realised they had not found sanctuary however, they had found an ancient tomb full of riddles and death. One of them had entered and would never leave, would never again grace the lands of the living. The following days would live to haunt the survivors and to this day, for Sarjin,
Sarjin was a mess of burnt flesh and bloody wounds. His breathing came in gasps and life expectancy was short. Light was foreign to this place and Boldarian, although in much better shape physically, also wore despondency like a cloak. Things looked bad. Only Jurlue, who had zero dark vision, and had to be lead around like a blind man, seemed somewhat at ease, although he was also certainly nonplussed about their current predicament. He didn’t want to be there either but one time in a rare moment of openness he whispered to Sarjin that he could just vaporise and leave at any time should things get too grim. Sarjin was awed and fascinated by the idea and although he couldn’t escape by that same means, maybe his companion’s skill could assist them all somehow. Finally a moment’s respite. They had all combined desperately but magnificently to rid themselves of the deadly Naga beast which had plagued them time after time. Searching the area thoroughly, they discovered a coffin and out of desperation they forced the lid open in the hopes of finding something to assist their plight. What happened over the next few moments would be etched into the brains of those who survived it for the remainder of their days…Slowly they pried open the lid and stared down into the depths. It appeared to be a half elf corpse wearing a silver necklace. It didn’t make sense though, because neither the necklace nor the occupant matched the depiction on the lid. In hindsight it was obvious that this tomb had already been disturbed and that the dangers of what we were about to let pass were staring at us in our faces and yet we stood back and let it happen…
Desolate and numb with grief the two adventurers plodded off towards the exit. Without much talk they began a slow and thorough search of the rooms they had cleared. One room was lit by braziers of what appeared to be magical light. This was a room of power and they both noticed an unusual carpet strewn across the floor. On closer inspection by Jurlue, it appeared that something was very wrong with it. It seemed like something or someone was trapped within its folds!
Sarjin watched warily as Jurlue stepped in. He was worried and apprehensive but it seemed Jurlue had snagged their target. He grabbed Jurlue’s legs and pulled with all his might. A lean, black and crumpled figure with an unusual hat carrying some kind of sack was writhing around on the floor cursing and yelling. Jurlue and Sarjin stood back and stared. The young Drow Mage seemed to come back to himself and look around. On observing us he quickly rummaged through his sack and handed us both eccentric but sturdy and well made hats as gifts of gratitude and friendship. We had saved him from goodness knew how many years of imprisonment within the carpet and he was eternally grateful. Sarjin loved his new hat. It had two beautiful feathers coming from it. He placed it on his head and peered at the gangly Drow. This one he would look after very carefully… friends it seemed, were too hard to lose and he would earn these feathers in his cap.
My group are playing this right now. You can follow along on the games blog here http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/dungeonworlld/wikis/stony-dark-tower
Our group only play old school adventures with pathfinder rules.
We played Lost Caverns of Tsojanth
.
I have an insane amount of house rules. The more major ones I have listed here. Races. - HALF ORC Half orcs get +2 to any physical stat
Half elves get +2 to any mental stat.
Human - Extra 4 skill points at 1st level and extra one each level and extra feat. New Stats - Luck - and Comeliness and Sanity they are set and cannot be re arranged.
Comeliness adjustment is added or subtracted from first impressions, by the DM.
Classes. Classes are as Pathfinder with these exceptions. Wizards cannot get Eschew Materials.
We use the XP cost for magic items and certain spells, but casters get an essence pool of 100 xp per level everytime they go up a level to use for these costs. Metamagic feats cost more spell slots, instead of having to be memorized at a higher level. Priests can cast any spells on their list without having to memorize certain ones.
Spells cast within the last 12 hours count against the total for the day. A caster can try to cast a lower or higher level spell by combining spell slots.
New Rules for teleporting and scrying.
Skills. I use the expanded diplomacy rules and give a bonus of +1-+6 depending on the players roleplaying. Skills points are as 3.5 with these exceptions. You can only go half as high in a cross class skill but it doesn’t cost double ranks.
We use an altered weapon focus, specialization and Mastery system. We use attack vrs armor types, expanded weapon and armor lists and slightly adjusted damages
Spells or elemental damage or poison critical hits on a 20 or a 1 on a save. We use a huge and bizarre critical hit and miss system, a natural 20 automatically confirms for players. Fighting styles. Fighting defensibly. - 4 to hit + 2 AC.
Extravagant Living
The NOOOOOOOOOOO ! Once per in game day, a players is allowed to use a NO.
The HERO POINT. Ths is awarded to players who perform heroic deeds, usually at great personal risk.
LUCK.
Mixing potions creates strange and sometimes deadly effects, but most potions last 40 + 10 - 40 minutes. Massive Damage. Character Level x 2 + con score. Is the threshold. DC 15 fort save. + 2 per every 10 damage over. Failure drops the character to -1.
............... Suffice it to say , playing in my campaign is more akin to falling and screaming.
I have wondered about this for years and I can see even in my 1st
Tanis ! In Sydney? Email me ! agentfestaskull@hotmail.com
Snob goods !
A place in sydney called double bay sells pies for 7 $ when in the other sheps they are about 3. Snob goods. lol.
aahh Bicorn - 50 gp...
In StormWrack a Tricorn HAT costs 50 gp.
Great stuff ! Alternate 1985 Marty !
And Pratchett is awesome !
Yeah. Chris and The Roy are right ! As well as Hunter of the Dusk...
ok , those are all good answers,
Heres the rub, If he goes back to before he broke the potions and DOSENT drink the potions,
and # 2 - If he goes back and breaks the chest and the potions mix again, according to Chaos theory there is no chance that the time travel potion will be created again. ( In game terms he would have to roll a 100 on a % then a 9 on a d 10 then a 62 on a % then a 6 on a d 10 , chance is 1 in Ten Million.) so what happens now....?
Man those are good answears !
If he goes back and mixes the potions again of course something differnt would happen - Chaos theory ...
So in my wacky game, a player has gained a power to travel forward or backwards in time up to ten minutes once per week... He smashed a chest containing potions and the potions mixed.
00 Discovery. The mixing of the potions creates a special effect--one of the potions chosen at random fails to work, but the other has its effects made permanent on the drinker. If mixed externally, then the permanent effect is not discovered until the mix is consumed. The potion's effect becomes a spell-like ability that is always on for the drinker. Another random roll to find what power came up with this time travel one... The player thought up the idea to go back in time to before he broke the potions and not open the chest so violently... So I said ... but then you would have never have drunk the potions that gave you the power to go back ... At this point we became confused and decided that we should go outside for a walk and really think about what we are actually doing with our spare time, and if playing Dungeons and Dragons is actually as good as breaking bottles in an alley or rolling a hoop about the town... ....... What happens now... Have I ruined my game? How does this time travel thing work...
I havent seen a raven or crow pick up much , but an owl can pick up a rat.
Thats Great. I have Added them.
Thats is all perfect !
Hey guys !
ALSO I would like to run a game in the Plane of Faerie !
Here are some more Ideas we use in my group ...
1. Fair Division of everything, perfectly done by the highest level and most benevolent character under the wrathful eye of the Dungeon Master. Some times players will give gifts to each other or trade stuff this is fine. 2. Treasure division done by lethal combat between characters every time you find something. With this system there is swiftly only one character left and I soon send a huge Monster too kill him as punishment for his great greed. 3. An in Character treasure division system where each character is given their share by the most powerful character who bullies the other players into getting what they get and liking it on pain of death, While the other players stay silent and brooding and wait for their moment to strike. 4. Snatch and grab. Every man for himself grab it and stash it as fast as you can. This can wind up in some funny situations mid combat where the characters are looting bodies in the middle of everything. For example one character "Zandalf" was once hooking a golden crown off the head of a Skeleton King AS the skeleton King kicked the poo out of another member of the party. This form of treasure division soon degenerates into escalating threats followed by rolling for initiative...
Thats great and fixes everything THANKS !!
Hi , so anytime my group gets confused over things
How come the adjustment for having Two weapon fighing only allows for
and Why is there not another feat that lowers the penalty further? Please help !
Nothings wrong with the humor.
Now I have been working in drug rehab for 12 years - so I have certain viewpoint.
you ROCK !
Funny but socially irresponsible. This stoner monk would get bashed as his reflexes would be caned.
In which case, the class is RAD !
Please send it to me !
We played a good day of solid gaming and one player played an Inq He was pretty cool and a good team mate with his healing spells.
Has anything happend in your campaign yet?
LOL
Wow. So no one is even going to tell me how much it SUCKS.
My Clod is now 3rd level and Rocking !
Sorry be being so late on the reply. I would LOVE to see your chart !
My friend will never forget the day a lowly orc took out his 27th level rangers eye !!! As well as all the penalties it incurred to his archery all the way back to healingville.
I would say Very old.
Here is the final version.
