In the spirit of the holidays, a present for the community - a skill challenge handbook for Pathfinder (or 13th Age or whatever your favorite flavor of d20 is) Get it here.

Bear in mind this is NOT the conventional 'x successes before y failures' skill challenge. This is a new(ish) system built to play fast, write simple and keep mechanics close to fiction. Would love feedback if you read through it.

Many of the 4th Ed. classes have literary or cinematic iconics to which we compare the class. Conan (Barbarian), Merlin (Wizard), Gandalf (Invoker, although I've also heard valid arguments for both Wizard and Swordmage) immediately spring to mind. I've been having a terrible time trying to find iconics for certain classes - Seeker, Battlemind, and Ardent among them. Today, though, the iconic Mantle of Clarity Ardent was revealed to me in a glorious flash of inspiration....!

Peter Gibbons from Office Space.

You laugh (and so do I) but I think it works. There's the moment of vision in which the meaning of life is revealed to him (sort of). He spends most of the movie trying to remove "conditions" from the rest of the cast - Samir and Michael: Broke (job or money laundering ends), Joanna: miserable (quitting ends) to name a couple. He even gets a promotion to a Leader role at Initech!

I now really want to play one of these using a very calm, laid-back tone; a sort of cross between Peter's actual voice and a hippie. Thoughts?

hey!

just downloaded the Pathfinder stuff and am itching to give it a shot. Anyone near Raleigh interested in playing as well?
