I got the Player Core and the GM Core, but now I am wondering if I should have bought "Core Rulebook" instead. I'm planning to buy a few extra rulebooks for the players and I want to make sure I get them the right version of the core rulebook. Do I need to have the "Pathfinder Core Rulebook" to play, are we okay just having the "Pathfinder Player Core," do I need to get both? Thank you for any clarification.

So, we got the playtest and my buddy ran it for us. We played through the first two scenarios as a 3 person group (no trouble really, Fighter, Monk, Cleric almost died on the water elemental but other wise had no trouble) and decided to stop. Maybe it was because our DM wasn't really digging the module, maybe it was because my power gamer friend didn't feel like he was bad ass enough, or maybe it was because our cleric said she was "bored" with the system. I personally was enjoying myself, I think the monk is great, but the power gamer said he made one of every martial class and found them all to be lack luster, and the cleric said she hated how magic worked. My personal opinion is the system is a great start to something amazing. I love the action economy, I like the idea of spending more actions to make spells better, I like that combat is cleaner, no more turns spent worrying over AoO, no power moves where one guy dominates the field, it felt like everyone got a chance to shine. The major complaint from the other two players was they didn't feel "larger than life." The power gamer felt like none of the feats were unique enough to make you stand out from other members of your class, and he didn't like that there were specific feats that were flat out better than others in the class lists. He also that you couldn't "make a character that can't do anything anyone else in that class can do." He kept making the examples of classes that don't normally go a specific route (Say Paladin Archer) but with the old system you could make that character and have it work. Ultimately we all agreed that the bones of the system are there, we like them, we just need to wait for more materials and more options for characters for the game to be as fun as Pathfinder 1.
We're having a problem understanding the three action version of heal. "You disperse positive energy in a 30-foot aura. This has the same effect as the two-action version, but it targets all living and undead creatures in the burst and reduces the amount of healing or damage to your spellcasting ability modifier." How much does the AOE heal/harm? Can it be heightened? By how much? What's the total healed if i cast this as a level 2 spell? As i read it now if i cast it at level 1 i heal my ability modifier (4), but if i heightened it i get 4 × the number of slots i heighten it? Or to i get 2d8+4?
Hello! I am running a game inspired by the story of FFT: War of the Lions. For those of you who've played it you may already be familiar with the Geomancer, an elemental wielding spell user in the vein of the Wu-Jen, relying on the elemental connections he has with the world around him to use his specialized brand of magic "Geomancy." Most of his attacks result in negative effects on his enemies, blinding, stunning, confusing, or even polymorphing them. Some of these were obviously too powerful as sorcerer powers, but I tried to stay true to the concept of the geomancer. Please read and review. All feedback is welcome! Geomancer Bloodline:
The powers of the elements flows through your veins, and the natural world obeys your commands. Class Skill: Knowledge (Geography) Bonus Spells: Mudball (3rd), ice slick (5th), air geyser (7th), wall of fire (9th), icy prison (11th), chain lightning (13th), scouring winds (15th), incendiary cloud (17th), clashing rocks (19th). Bonus Feats: Alertness, Dodge, Empower Spell, Great Fortitude, Improved Initiative, Lightning Reflexes, Power Attack, Skill Focus (Knowledge [geography]). Bloodline Arcana: After spending 8 hours resting and communing with the land, you gain a +1 bonus to spell damage to any spells cast that correspond to the element or energy of the environment that you've communed with. The elemental types and some example environments follow. Air and Electricity: Open plains and high elevations.
Your ancestry grants you the ability to shape and control the physical aspects of the natural world granting you a multitude of attacks and abilities depending on the terrain you find yourself in. Geomancy: Starting at first level you gain the ability to manipulate the terrain and elemental forces around you. You can use these the following abilities a total of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. Unless otherwise specified the target of an ability must be within 5 feet of large source of the element you intend to use against them and you must be within 30 feet of the target. Each ability requires a standard action to use. Burning Tendril (Sp): When your target is standing near a large source of fire, or magma, you can command a tendril of fire to strike them. This ray deals 1d6 points of damage of fire damage + 1 for every two sorcerer levels you possess with a successful ranged touch attack.

Grasping Roots (Sp): When your target is standing on, or near, small vegetation such as grass, weeds, or small brush, you can command the plants beneath them to spring up and entangle them. This ability functions as a grapple maneuver using your sorcerer level plus your Charisma modifier in place of your CMB. The plants return to normal after 1 round. Pit Fall (Sp): When your target is standing on solid ground composed of dirt or mud, you can command the earth to part and create a shallow hole beneath them. This hole occupies a single 5-foot square with a depth of six inches. Any creature occupying the square when you first create the hole, or who later steps into the square containing the hole, must make a Reflex saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier) to avoid falling prone in an adjacent square and taking 1d4 points of damage. Sand Blast (Sp): When your target is standing on, or near, a large source of loose sand you can command a cloud of sand rise up and strike them. This sand cloud deals 1d4 points of slashing damage +1 per two sorcerer levels and dazes the target on their next turn as the cough and choke on the sand unless they make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier). Screech (Sp): When your target is standing on, or near, a large source of metal (either raw or worked) you can command that metal to reverberate and emit a loud piercing sound. This attack deals 1d4 points of sonic damage +1 per two sorcerer levels and deafens the target for one turn unless they make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier). Slime Ball (Sp): When your target is standing in or near, a swamp, marsh, or other source of stagnant water and mud, you can command the foul substances to form into a noxious orb and launch towards them. With a successful ranged touch attack the target takes 1d4 points of bludgeoning damage +1 per two sorcerer levels and causing a living creature struck to become sickened for one round unless they make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier). Splinter Blast (Sp): When your target is standing near a large source of natural wood, such as a tree or wooden structure, you can command the wood to burst and unleash a hail of jagged splinters. These splinters deal 1d4 points of damage of piercing damage + 1 for every two sorcerer levels you possess with a successful ranged touch attack. In addition the target must make a Reflex saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier) or be blinded for one round by the debris. Tremor (Sp): When your target is standing on solid ground composed of natural or worked stone you can cause the ground beneath them to shake, functioning as a trip maneuver using your sorcerer level plus your Charisma modifier in place of your CMB. Water Pulse (Sp): When your target is standing in, or near, a large body of water you can command it to form a powerful spout. In addition to extinguishing any non-magical fires within the targets 5-foot square this ability deals 1d4 points of bludgeoning damage +1 for every two sorcerer levels with a successful ranged touch attack and subjects the target to a bullrush maneuver using your sorcerer level plus your Charisma modifier in place of your CMB. Wild Gale (Sp): When standing in an open area with strong winds you can create a vortex of air that deals 1d4 points of slashing damage +1 per two sorcerer levels with a successful ranged touch attack and causes your target to become staggered for 1 round unless they make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier). Favored Terrain (Ex): At 3rd level you gain a favored terrain; as a ranger. This favored terrain may not be improved upon by gaining favored terrain abilities from another class. You gain a +2 bonus on initiative checks, Knowledge (geography), Perception, Stealth, and Survival skill checks while in your favored terrain as well as a +1 bonus to spell save DCs to any spell you cast while in your favored terrain. You do not leave tracks while traveling through your favored terrain and cannot be tracked (though you may leave a trail if you choose). At levels 9 and 15 you may select an additional favored terrain. In addition, the skill bonus and initiative bonus in any one favored terrain (including the one just selected, if so desired), increase by +2 and the DC to spell saves increases by +1. If a specific terrain falls into more than one category of favored terrain, the bonuses do not stack; he simply uses whichever bonus is higher. Element Surge (Sp): At 9th level, you can unleash a blast of wild elemental power once per day. This 20-foot-radius burst does 1d6 points of energy damage per sorcerer level. The energy type is based upon the terrain associated with your bloodline arcana and uses the same table. Those caught in the area of your blast receive a Reflex save for half damage. Creatures that fail their saves gain vulnerability to your energy type until the end of your next turn. The DC of this save is equal to 10 + 1/2 your sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier. At 9th level, you can use this ability once per day. At 17th level, you can use this ability twice per day. At 20th level, you can use this ability three times per day. This power has a range of 60 feet. Earthen Armor (Ex): At 15th level, as a move action, you command the ground you stand on to cover your legs and feet.

You also gain tremorsense 30 feet and DR 1/-. You can use this power for a number of minutes per day equal to your sorcerer level. This duration need not be consecutive, but it must be used in 1-minute increments. Elemental Appeal (Su): At 20th level, elemental power surges through your body. You gain immunity to sneak attacks, critical hits, and damage from the energy type associated with the terrain that you are communed with. Thanks!
I want to do a "Sphynx's Riddle" situation. The party finds itself at a door with runic script on it. They translate to script and see it's a riddle. The solution of the riddle will allow them to open the door. My riddle is below. I'm worried it's too easy, maybe too hard? I'm wondering what a few other people think about it. Feel free to solve it and do a spoiler so others can have a go at it too. Thanks in advance. Riddle:
Can a Paladin use their Divine Bond on more than one weapon or do they select a weapon that is the only one they can bond with? As I understand it a Paladin with this ability forms a bond with a spirit, not with a weapon. So they can call the spirit to inhabit the weapon of their choice, correct?
I'm trying to create a magic lute for a player. I want the lute to have some spells that can be activated a number of times per day. I'm trying to use Table 15-29 to make the item but I'm confused on the charges per day part. Specifically the part that says..... "Divide by (5 divided by charges per day)" If I understand it right that means if I want the spell to be activated 3 times per day I would take the cost of the spell (in this case Shout) and divide it by 5/3 right? So: 80,000 (4th level spell * 10th level bard * 2000 gp)/ 1.67 = 47904 is that right?
A new player I'm running for really wants to play a necromancer, however I REALLY dont want him to be evil. So I'm trying to compromise. This is a modified version of the Dread Necromancer from the 3.5 Heroes of Horror, please let me know what you think. Redeemer
Role: Redeemers bring a very valuable thing to the field of combat: numbers. Their deathless flock is able to quickly turn the tide of battle. Their blend of spells combined with their martial training and the unique nature of their bodies make them valuable assets to those they call allies. They can often be found traveling with individuals who seek out evil and destroy it where it’s found, or with those whom trouble always seems to find. *A Note: The deathless subtype is almost identical to the undead subtype, except where undead are powered by negative energy, the deathless are powered by positive. Positive energy affects them the same way it would a living creature, so does negative energy. Spells used to raise, create, or summon creatures of the deathless subtype do not have the [evil] descriptor. Alignment: Any non-evil Hit Die: d8
Skill Ranks Per Level: 4 + Int modifier Level Base Attack Fort Ref Will Special Abilities 1st +0 +0 +0 +2 Righteous Touch, Channel Positive Energy
Class Features
Spell casting: A redeemer casts divine spells, which are drawn from the redeemer’s spell list. Like an oracle, she can cast any spell she knows without preparing it ahead of time. When a redeemer gains access to a new level of spells, she automatically knows all the spells for that level given on the redeemer’s spell list. Redeemers also have the option of adding to their existing spell list through their advanced learning ability as they increase in level (see below). To cast a spell, a redeemer must have a Charisma score of 10 + the spell’s level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a redeemer’s spell is 10 + the spell’s level + her Charisma modifier. Like other spell casters, a redeemer can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given in Table 1. In addition, she receives bonus spells for a high Charisma score. Table 1: Spells Per Day Level 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th
Righteous Touch (Su): The energy that flows through a redeemer’s body, and can be used as a weapon in his hands. As part of his touch attack, a redeemer can cause 1d8 points of damage +1 per two class levels by to any evil, or undead, creatures.
Channel Positive Energy (Su): The redeemer can channel positive energy as a good cleric except uses his Charisma modifier for any saving throws and number of times per day it can be used. In addition, choose one of the following. This choice cannot be changed once it’s made: Selective Channeling: The redeemer can choose to not include other living creatures as part of his positive energy channel and gains the selective channeling feat, assuming he can meet the prerequisites. Redeem Undead: The redeemer releases a potent blast of positive energy driving out the negative energy that animates normal undead and then gaining control of them as he would any other deathless he creates. The redeemer gains the command undead feat. Deathless Body: As part of the process of becoming a true deathless, the redeemer’s skin begins to take on unliving qualities. Nerve endings start to decay, flesh becomes more resilient, and bones harden. Beginning at 2nd level a redeemer gains damage reduction equal to half his class level, the damage reduction is bypassed with magic and bludgeoning. Deathless Embrace: Upon reaching 3rd level the redeemer is better able to understand the energies that flow between all things living and dead. As a full round action the redeemer may activate deathless embrace and must select either within or without. Once chosen the choice cannot be changed for the duration of that day. Once he rests and regains his spells, he may choose again. *Within: The redeemer chooses to reinforce the positive energies within his own body, empowering his physical and mental forms. When under the effects of deathless embrace, he gains a tolerance for negative energy and the creatures that relish in it. Undead creatures may not attack the redeemer unless they succeed on a will save with a DC equal to 10 + ½ her class levels + her charisma modifier. Mindless undead fail these checks automatically. Additionally, his Righteous touch ability also adds half his Charisma bonus to damage rolls (minimum +1). *Without: Undead are treated as their previous creature type with regards to how the redeemer's spells affect them. For example, a human zombie would be treated as a human, and therefore susceptible to scare. A skeletal giant would count as a giant; a dracolich would count as a dragon, etc. Further, every time he casts a spell that creates or animates a new deathless, these creatures gain +2 bonus hit points per hit die, as well as DR 1/-- with an additional +1 DR/-- per 5 caster levels the redeemer possesses. Advanced Learning (Ex): At 4th level, a redeemer can add a new spell to her list, representing the result of personal study and experimentation. The spell must be a cleric or wizard spell of the necromancy school, and of a level no higher than that of the highest-level spell the redeemer already knows. Alternatively, the redeemer may chose a spell of any school, so long as the spell is one spell level lower than the highest possible he can cast. Once a new spell is selected, it is added to that redeemer’s spell list and can be cast just like any other spell she knows. If a spell is both a cleric spell and a wizard spell, use the lower of the two spell levels (when different) to determine what level the spell is for a redeemer. He selects another spell every two levels thereafter, for a total of eight advanced learning selections at 18th level. Mental Bastion: Starting at 4th level, a redeemer gains a +2 bonus on saving throws made to resist sleep, stunning, paralysis, poison, or disease. This bonus increases to +4 at 11th level and then again to +6 at 18th level. Awesome Presence (Su): Beginning at 5th level, a redeemer radiates a 10-foot-radius fear aura as a free action. Evil creatures and undead in the area must succeed on a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 her class level + her Cha modifier) or become shaken. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected by that redeemer’s fear aura for 24 hours. Starting at 15th level the fear aura’s radius increases to 30 feet. Creatures immune to fear are immune to this effect. Master of Fate (Su): As the redeemer comes closer and closer to his ultimate ascension into undeath, he also becomes more aware of how weak he used to be. When activating this ability, upon reaching 6th level, he may choose between body and mind. Master of fate lasts for a number of hours equal to the redeemer’s caster level. He may use this ability one time per day per four caster levels she possesses. *Body: You shed your mortal shell and temporarily gain the deathless subtype. While under this effect you lose your constitution score and gain the traits of a deathless creature. This effect renders the caster medically dead for its duration. In addition, he is immune to turning. *Mind: You gain spell resistance equal to 10 + class level. Further, any time the redeemer is forced to make a will save, she may roll twice and take the best of both roll. Lifesight: The redeemer gains a form of lifesight that can detect living and undead creatures. The redeemer can only distinguish if the target is living or undead; constructs, oozes and equipment carried by the targets cannot be seen. The targets appear as semi-colorful silhouettes, and can be seen up to a range of 60 feet. Activating or deactivating this ability is a swift action, and the redeemer's eyes glow white while he’s using it. Spells that blind the redeemer have a 50% chance of negating this form of blindsight; blindfolds and shades have do not block lifesight, but do block normal vision as usual. At 13th level the range increases from 60 feet to 120 feet. Necrotic Attunement: Beginning at 7th level a redeemer chooses one option from among the following. Once chosen, this ability may not be changed.
This requires a touch and a quick incantation, but grants the undead many benefits: It loses any appetites or diet needs it previously had (such as a ghoul's hunger for flesh or a vampire's thirst for blood), but can still gain benefits from partaking (if any). It gains a +1 holy bonus on attack rolls (+1 per 4 redeemer class levels), the same in deflection modifier to AC, and +2 additional hit points per hit dice. These bonuses last until the redeemer withdraws the boon, appoint a new guardian, or the deathless is destroyed. The boon can be withdrawn at any time with a similar incantation (a free action). *Talisman of Light: The redeemer can form a potent talisman of Holy Energy. This can take many forms, from a finger bone, a rosary, a scroll of ancient prayers, an etched chalice, a jeweled mirror, all the way to a painted skull on a strap. By brandishing this talisman and reciting eldritch passages, the redeemer can amplify their spells by using the ambient energy that lays in all life. Upon using a move action to activate the talisman, any spells cast until the end of his next round will count as if being affected by the heighten spell feat, but doesn’t increase the spell level required to cast it. Reciting the eldritch passages is necessary for the function of the talisman, but does not interfere with the verbal components of the spell. He may use his talisman of light a number of times per day equal to 3 + his charisma bonus. Constructing this talisman is a very personal task, and can take hours or days depending on the item. Regardless of its type, materials worth around 100 gp per class level, and one day-long ritual to bind the item to the Redeemer's aura are needed. Deathless Mastery: All deathless creatures created by a redeemer who has reached 8th level or higher gain a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength and Dexterity and 2 additional hit points per Hit Die. In addition, when a redeemer uses the animate dead spell to create deathless, he can control 4 + his Charisma bonus HD worth of undead creatures per class level (rather than the 4 HD per level normally granted by the spell). Similarly, when a redeemer casts the control undead spell, the spell targets up to (2 + her Cha bonus) HD/level of undead creatures, rather than the 2 HD/level normally granted by the spell. Negative Energy Resistance: Beginning at 9th level, a redeemer gains a +4 bonus on saving throws made to resist negative energy effects, including energy drain, some ability drain, and inflict spells. Beginning at 16th level he gains a constant death ward effect as a supernatural effect. Dispel magic cannot cancel this effect, but will suppress it for 1 minute per spell level of the dispel used if failing the saving throw. Activating or deactivating this ability is a swift action. Light Fortification: Starting at 10th level, a redeemer gains 25% resistance to critical hits; this is the equivalent of the light fortification armor special ability. At 17th level, this fortification increases to 50%. Disrupting Touch (Su): When a redeemer reaches 12th level, he gains the ability to pull positive energy away from his target and bestow negative levels when he uses his righteous touch attack. A successful attack renders 1d2 negative levels to the target. The saving throw to remove the negative levels has a DC of 10 + 1/2 her class level + her Charisma modifier. He may use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Charisma modifier. Activating this class feature is a swift action. The effect lasts until she makes a successful charnel touch attack. A redeemer can use the spectral hand spell to deliver this attack from a distance. Craft Wondrous Item: At 19th level, the redeemer gains Craft Wondrous Item as a bonus feat. This helps her prepare the phylactery required to become an archlich. Archlich Transformation: When a redeemer attains 20th level, he undergoes a divine transformation and becomes an archlich. Archliches are transformed spell casters who have deliberately and carefully accomplished their own transformation into liches. They devote their deathlessness to the furtherance of the noble purpose that motivated them in life. Archliches appear as normal liches. They have all the characteristics of normal liches, but can water walk as well and have turning immunity.

SO, why is the Balor's AC 36 when its Bonuses are +4 deflection, +7 Dex, +16 natural, and –1 size? That's 26 right? Is this a typo, or does it get a +10 bonus I don't know about.
I made some spiders for my campaign which I'm running on a world trapped in endless winter. I need to know if they're too strong or if they seem safe to use. Feed back is appreciated! Spider, Steam Spinner (Medium) This pale white spider’s carapace is covered in a thin layer of ice. Its abdomen glows a sullen orange. Grasping legs reach out for you while a pair of huge vertical mandibles chews wildly at the air. Steam Spinner (Medium)

Steam Spray – 15 foot cone of steam once every 1d6 rounds; damage 3d4 fire; Reflex DC 16 for half. The save DC is Constitution based. Steam spinners are spiders that have evolved to survive in the harsh winter environs. Their bodies produce intense internal heat, but their thick carapaces prevent that heat from radiating outward. They use their internal flames to create a source of boiling water that they can slowly release to form intricate webs of ice, or in sudden blasts that they use to weaken their prey before they go in for the kill. Their bodies are covered in a layer of ice from the steam clouds they create, granting them additional protection without hindering their movements. Spider, Steam Flinger (Large) This massive spider is shrouded by a clinging mist and covered in a thick layer of ice. Its eyes are red and its body pulses with heat under the ice. Steam Flinger

Steam jet – 45 foot ray of steam 2/day; damage 4d6fire; Ranged touch attack; no save. More mature steam spinners, they are larger, and more aggressive. Since it has lost its venom and its ability to spin webs it now it relies on its steam jet to weaken its prey before it charges out of hiding and pouncing to finish them off. Its larger size allows its internal flame to build more heat and it armors itself in a thick layer of ice. The ice and intense heat from its body create a bone chilling mist that clings to the spider at all times, helping it hide while it waits for an opportunity to ambush potential meals.
I made an Item for the sake of it being fun and having a cool back story. I want to give it to my PCs and have them use it for a while, not expecting them to take it to the end of the game, but it'd be cool if they used it for a while. Let me know what you think! Satisfaction Satisfaction was created at the behest of a wealthy merchant who felt wronged by a rival. The merchant’s rival hailed from a country which had a tradition of issuing a challenge to dual by striking them in the face with an open hand covered by a silken glove. The merchant decided to follow the spirit of his rivals’ tradition and had his blacksmith craft a flail with a head formed in the shape of an outstretched golden hand. The merchant then took the flail, placed a silk glove over it, and struck his rival in the face with it. His rival didn't live long enough to accept the challenge, but since his death was caused by the issuance of challenge done in the time honored tradition of his country his family did not press any charges and then moved back home, taking their trade company with them. Since then the weapon has been passed down, bought, sold, and traded among the wealthy families of the merchant’s home city, who see the flail as a status symbol. Some owners have even added a few touches of their own to the weapon making it far more formidable than when it was first forged. Weapon Statistics: +1 Thundering Flail (1d8+1) Special Qualities: Three times per day, prior to making an attack, the wielder of Satisfaction may shout the words “I demand satisfaction!” After speaking the words the next attack made with Satisfaction has a chance of dazing the enemy for one round. A failed attack roll ruins the attempt and still uses a charge. The foe struck may make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 18) to avoid being dazed. Creatures with 7 or more hit dice cannot be dazed by this affect. (I even have a picture of it that I made in Photshop! http://i.imgur.com/bpXDk6B.gif)
I am running a campaign in a world in which I would like a unique fey player race. I have created a race but I'm concerned about how they compare to the core 7 races. Please comment and let me know what you think. Brief background, the fey, called the Tóraigh (tor-ee), were summoned to the prime plane long ago by elves, who charged them with a task. The elves told the tóraigh they couldn't return to the Feywild until their task was complete. So their lives are consumed with traveling the world trying to complete the task given to them. +2 Constitution, +2 Charisma, -2 Wisdom: Life on the road makes a tóraigh tough, and their fey blood makes them naturally attractive. However, their single minded pursuit of their ancient task makes them bullheaded and narrow sighted.
I am running a campaign in a world caught in a permanent ice age. I want an "Ice Spirit" kind of race and this is what I came up with. Esbet: The elemental spirits of ice and snow are powerful in this world, and early mortals would often summon them and offer forth virgin stock for them to breed with in hopes of securing alliances. The women who became impregnated gave birth to the earliest esbet. Over the ages the species has intermarried throughout the other mortal species becoming more and more like them, and less like their elemental forefathers. Racial Traits
I am working on a campaign where there are no elves. This means that the playable race list has dropped a bit, so I am trying to add a decent hybrid race for my players. I decided on half-dwarves. I know that there are other half-dwarf races, like the Mul, but i wanted something that was really more of a normal hybrid race like the half-elf, or half-orc. Please let me know what you think. Half-Dwarves: On the foothills of the great mountains dwell hearty human tribes, many of whom share the same rugged spirit as the dwarves. Sometimes the camaraderie of the two species becomes true affection and, though rare, a child is born of the union.
I know this is a topic done to death but I'm trying to get this figured out for a game I plan on running. I want Gnolls to be a major race in the game so I am trying to figure out a fair set of racial stats for them. This is what I have so far. +2 Str, +2 Con, -2 Int, Darkvision 60 ft, +2 Survival, +2 Perception. I used this thread as a guide to create the race. They started with a bonus in Wis which I took away for 2 more points to spend. The stats above are what I ended up with. My concern is that they may seem to weak? I know that a +2 Str is kinda a big deal, but so is a -2 to Int, maybe replace the Int penalty with a Cha penalty? Any advice is appreciated, thank you. |
