I second the lack of DM responsibility that has been touched on in quite a few of these posts.

If wizards have access to all the spells in the splatbooks + core and have easy ways to procure them, then things get out of hand. But if they have to quest for obscure bits of knowledge and can't just buy any spell in any big city then things get a bit more challenging. Or just because the spells are available, it should take one hell of a diplomacy check to have an 18th level wizard allow someone to look at their spell book, and so on and so forth. Wasn't all of Faerun nearly destroyed the first time Mystra died. What did she do directly afterwards. Put limits on what kind of spells could be cast. You're the DM, just make it more difficult for the wizard to power up (and by difficult I don't me less fun).

Also, along the same vein, all the wizards I've ever played have been absolutely broke up until around 10th level. Scrolls cost money, material components cost money, and rare material components should be damn hard to find in my opinion. Really, who has 25,000gp worth of diamonds just laying around for a resurection spell, come on now.

Thanks.

I would also like to say that I had a good time tonight at the Strategist.

I mentioned this to Gotham Gamemaster, but I thought I'd throw it up here as well. I'm new to NYC and looking for a regular Pathfinder game so if anyone has a spot let me know.

Anyway hopefully I'll see some of you at the next PFS at neutral ground, I'll be joining the (yahoo? or google? can't remember right now) group as well.

I am going to give 4.0 a chance and at least look at the PHB, beyond that I doubt I'll switch. I have actually been thinking that if Paizo switched I would probably cancel my subscription to Pathfinder. I love your company, don't get me wrong, I just like 3.5 and am very comfortable with the rules. I also have about a hundred Dungeon magazines that need exploring. For my sake i hope that you at least finish the current adventure path "Rise of the Rune Lords" before switching to 4.0.

I was sad when Dungeon and Dragon went out of print and havent even looked at the WOTC site to check them out since. I like having the books in my hand and sitting down at the table with pen, paper, and dice. I don't play computer games as a rule and am not excited about everything going digital. I know its the way of the future and if its really really great I'll switch.

Keep up the good work.

I know, but I'm affraid the judges might not see it that way.

Any word on a decision for this?

Thanks for your feed back. I have two versions of the item made up just in case, but the psionic powers definitely fit better than the spells. So unless anyone knows what the arcane or divine equivalent of hostile empathic transfer is.... I was going to use vampiric touch but there may be a better choice.

I was wondering if psionic items using the Create Universal Item feat were going to be allowed. The psionic feat and the Craft Wonderous Item feat are basically verbatim so.... If anyone knows that would be a great help.

New Campaign starting at first level.
Will meet at
Guardian Games
315 SE 3rd Ave.
Portland, OR 97214

Sundays from 12-8.
First meeting will be Sunday August 26th. Meet and greet/character creation session.
Looking for interested players with a sense of humor.
As far as other questions go,
I usually allow most prestige classes and races as long as they are from official D&D books and are somewhat relevant to the game (if you come up with a creative back story it helps).
If its from another source I'd just need to look at it to make sure it wont unbalance the game especially where feats are concerned.
I'm not a huge rule hound by any means, and I ususally just play to have fun.
I try and give out XP for good role playing to encourage it and I like to keep my players on their toes.
I tend to run low magic campaigns when I run home brew stuff, but since this is a published adventure there should be plenty for everyone.

If you're intereseted email me directly at rtpuppy@hotmail.com
Look forward to meeting you,
