Hey, no problem ... I always enjoy a little inter-party conflict. More realistic than the "we just met an hour ago, but we're the bestest of friends" stereotype. So long as no one's knifing each other in the back, it's all fun!
I've got to admit I was hoping for a chance to see someone actually role-play there character instead of saying "Sehkola hits Lashara." That just gets so boring after a while.
"Instead of stating the problems why not suggest a solution when we have a better grasp of whats going on? For someone who like the open sky so much you sure do have a closed mind..."
Sehkola hefts his spear. "I did, in fact, make a suggestion. As did Gavrin."
"Elijah has found little evil in this goblin. Porbably no more so than you wound find in any one of us. Would you kill an sentient creature, that is no threat to us, and risk becoming evil yourself just because you hate like that creature? Your starting to sound like a demon."
Sorry about that Bryan, but I couldn't resist the chance for good role-play. Nice description of what demons do by the way. :)
Incidently, I'm the only person (said I'd seen only one) in my gaming group that has ever taken an Animated Shield. (Darkwood Shield enchanted to +1 plus the Animated). And frankly there are still people in the party with better AC than mine.
I too have only seen one person use an A.S. so they don't seem as common as some people want to believe...

The type of lycanthrope would be determined by the alignment of the sorcerer based on the chart below.
AL - Lycanthrope - Hybrid Score Adjustments
LG - Werebear ---- Str +16, Dex +2, Con +8
NG - Werelion ---- Str +10, Dex +6, Con +5
CG - Wereraven --- Dex +4, Con +2
LN - Weretiger --- Str +12, Dex +4, Con +6
TN - Wereboar ---- Str +4, Con +6
CN - Werebadger -- Dex +6, Con +4
LE - Wereleopard - Str +5, Dex +8, Con +4
NE - Wererat ----- Dex +6, Con +2
CE - Werewolf ---- Str +2, Dex +4, Con +4
Why should alignment determin anything? While I admit that infected lycans might be evil(insane), why does everyone choose to think that were-anything means your a certain alignment? Here is a great example..
I had a similar question about a Clr/wiz/MT mix.
Since the MT increased spell progression I think it should grant school powers, bloodline abilities, and domain powers.
The druids always did come in behind clerics when it came to healing and this seems to be an effective way to keep 'em there. Especially with the pathfinder cleric's channel energy ability.
What do I want?
I want to see prestige classes that advance all different kinds of abilities from base classes, not just Fighter BAB or rogue sneak attack or sorcerer/wizard/cleric spellcasting.
I want a prestige class with senses so acute they have true seeing and blindsight unless put into total sensory deprivation.
I want a prestige class focused on channeling positive or negative energy in powerful ways.
I really agree with you!
Here is the idea of Prc a good friend came up with but never really made.
Mix necromancer and bard for some really nasty effects!
A.K.A.: Deathsinger
Prereqiusets
Bardic music able to cast a necromancy spell of at least 2nd level
Boosts both bardic music and spell casting while giving decent will and fort saves but poor ref saves (long exposure to the powers of death have increased the persons ability to resist death effects but has reduced his/her ability to move out the way (rigor mortis has set in a little))
Mithral shirt is a little underpriced for a piece of armor with it's statistics.
Maybe the cold iron magic defense could remove feats like spell focus from the dc, or maybe the ability scores bonus to the dc?
Don't make the weapons go down a catagory, just make 'em something dex users can strive for. Personally I'm sick of seeing any every dex fighter wielding only rapiers, short swords, kukri, etc, etc!
Can you imagine a fighter with just a few ranks in Perform(weapon dance) using a glaive?
Friggin' sweet.
Honestly Jason! IT IS NOT! Dex fighter really seems to be having trouble in this game, and it needs a bit of a boost. For of us who actually try to wield a weapon in a martial art, or in a martial way, such as my self, any melee weapon can be used with dex as a basis for hit if they are trained to. This is a reasonable addition, please add it!
I can bring myself to agree with this.... at least for glaives.
1. Mithral weapons - I am all for this because of the lore behind mithral as True Silver. I agree that not all materials need to be good as weapons and armor, but this is one case where it should be both.
2. Mithral armor - There are a couple roads I can take with this... listed from least nerf, to most nerf.
A - Leave it the way it is...
B - Make it so that the armor counts as one class lighter in all regards, except for proficiency.
C - Remove the one class lighter bit entirely.
D - Come to your house and rip up all character sheets of PCs that, in my supreme opinion, are abusing mithral, replacing them with 1st level commoners built using the standard array (10, 10, 10, 11, 11, 11).
I am thinking that B is the way to go.. although D sounds like fun, I just do not have the time. :-)

I vote for B
I would like to state that making mithral weapons count as light and being finessable would lead to this. I would like this avoided AT ALL COSTS!!!
If the druid took Still/Silent Spell and prepared a spell using those feats it could cast a Still Produce Flame or a Silent Call Lightning in wild shape.
There, did that help?
I've been playing a druid for a while and I think the Beta druid is fine as is. The animal companion isn't overpowered at all. They make good flankers for the druid and can be the substitute fighter/paladin/barbarian if needed.
