lets keep this going

hmm ok so anymore ideas? , how bout some random good names for npc'? again this thread is for brain storming , others can feel free to add their own ideas and seek advice here as well

If you are new to GMing, start with something simple, like the 'We Be Goblins' scenario. Taking over an existing campaign AND facing all the challenges of being new to the job is really, really tough. Move on to a little low level campaign which slowly flows into the dragon campaign. If you and the players still want that, at this moment.

If you feel confident to take over the campaign directly: Don't force the sorcerer player to switch characters. As a player, I'd be quite p*ssed off, especially if I would be the only player who has to. The content depends heavily on the players. Do they enjoy combat? Give them combat with lackeys of the dragons. Do they enjoy intrigues? Give them secrets to figure out. Do they enjoy roleplaying? Give them interaction with unusual NPCs.

I'd try to write down the different dragons' motives. First one might be interested in gold and expensive paintings, second one in creating a lot of half-dragon offspring, third one in becoming a lich, last one simply in using mortals to wipe out both dragons and mortals. Depending on motives they will deal with mortals differently, so how do they treat their mortal allies, their opponents, their spawn, neutral mortals and the PCs? Do they have special fears, desires, odd behaviour? Do they even know about all the other dragons?

PS: Please use full stops in your postings. Not everyone is a native speaker here, not everyone is willing to dig through through an extremely long sentence. That way you will get more help...

only reason for the change is is he playing this this purely for combat , and to make construst? or is he putting forth the thought to figure out how to actually play this character.

last time he was playing a magus , took him 3 weeks to finally writ down his spell list and after he did. it was completely full of nothing but touch spells that he could use to attack with using his sword .

i'm worried that he will do that again, and that isnt fun for anyone , he so far only makes a character for combat and has nothing for the other aspects of D&D/pathfinder no RPing , only use is in combat , and even as a player it's just about impossible to roleplay with that kind of player.

The war, is it between dragons fighting dragons? That has potential, especially if they fight using political pawns and proxies.

The party could be hired for a seemingly simple job that is in reality a mission from one dragon to damage the holdings of another. This can lead to additional jobs, or seemingly random enmity from agents of the offended dragon, who could be people of power or authority figures.

Alternately, they could find themselves hired by different dragons in succession, each time aiding a different dragon. The eventual result being that they uncover the pattern and are asked to pick a side.

this was sort of where i was going with this , the first idea of being hired to do something to another's holding , but i don't want it too political , that it'd bore the players either , i want the party to do something evil pure-say in the falsehood of being something good

maybe the king has has someone in his council speaking poisonous words into is head?

or maybe the head paladin wasn't really a paladin , at all but a young evil dragon using illusion-airy magic?

im even open to suggestions that are constructive , and will keep this thread going as best i can

ok so a friend who was gonna gm a pathfinder game , has too much on his plate and decided to had off the position to me , now i have a general plot of wat i want this story to be about , however i'd like to use this thread to bounce ideas around (mostly because this will be a trail bye fire for me , fist time as a gm) and if this topic is in the wrong place please post a link to the right place plz.

the story takes place in the kingdom of Delliona , ruled bye a king from the city of Labrithian <-- large city divided into 4 quarters the over all consept is that there is a unseen war clashing between dragons and that as the group avantures the more they'll figure out is really goning on in the kingdom , now comes the headache which is the groups compensation a dunken monk an sorcerer with the impossible bloodline <-- i fear i may need to tell this player to change that (new player)a druid and a ranger.. yep trying to figure out a unique meeting up for them all , based on their back stories ... , now i have the start and the end please throw in ideas for wat u all think could take place , or ask my questions that'll help me develop the story more

The fire is obviously enchantment, so doesn't factor into base stats. How about:

Dragon Fists
Exotic Light Weapon
Damage 1d6 Crit 19-20x2 B/P
Cannot be disarmed, Can allow grapple damage to be regular instead of subdual.

this works but instead of it doing more damage from grappling it just gives a minuscule bonus to cmb

and would thse considered to be a bladed weapon?

Could you give us an example? Its near impossible to offer an opinion without an example to compare to existing items.

the weapon this character is wielding

Could you give us an example? Its near impossible to offer an opinion without an example to compare to existing items.

typically a natural weapon that works like a spiked gauntlet , but has the look of a dragons or dragonlike head shape , would this just be a flavored natural weapon? or...

You've said that you've created items before. Since you "know" how to create balanced items, what do you need us for?

custom races i've never dabbled into custom items

ik ik most of you will just say , i shouldn't because XYZ reasons , but i do take great care in any of my creations to not brake the game , so with this said can anyone help explain one of the fallowing?

1) how to create a new unique weapon?
2) how to modify and existing weapon to better fit my characters unique design?

and is it possible to modify said weapon to create a whole new weapon?

I think the closest fit might be the scizore, which appears in both Ultimate Combat and Ultimate Equipment. It's a massive, bladed forearm gauntlet that's really hard to disarm.

how would this weapon be used in combat?

another question i have is are the limited to only being maid from certain materials?

im not new to creating custom races that arnt broken as ball , the issus im having with this race / character from the race is the weapons im tryin to use , just cant seem to find a weapon that fit's the bill , nor do i understand how to create a whole new weapon (the character im trying to recreate in pathfinder is shyvanna from league of legends) from pic she weilds massive gautlets , but normally gautlets of the size seen in pics dont fit any of the weapon sources i've found. Can any one give me a hand figuring this out ?

fallowing link shows a pic of said insperationhttps://www.google.com/search?q=shyvana&safe=off&biw=168 0&bih=925&site=webhp&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=U wSeVZObGomKNvf9vpAK&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ#safe=off&tbm=isch&q=shyvana +wallpaper&imgdii=L3J9gBROvxD4rM%3A%3BL3J9gBROvxD4rM%3A%3BA00DR6emK-aNS M%3A&imgrc=L3J9gBROvxD4rM%3A

i mean should i create a whole new class/exotic weapon to fit the bill? and isf so can anyone help me figure that out , i understand im asking alot but this is something im dieing to see in play
