So what dragon magazines materials do you include in your pathfinder game?

Sovereign Court

I really like the god of war feats and blade of chaos in general or the force missile mage from dragon compendium. But curious which material you included in your games?


I have electronic copies of every Dragon Magazine up until the end of Edition 3.5, as well as physical copies of over 80% of them. I drag out copies all the time for inspiration, be it for an adventure, a weapon, an old spell to retool, or an NPC that bubbled up in my memories. I stopped purchasing WotC products when 4e was released, and miss my monthly delivery of draconic goodness in my mailbox to this day. But I digress. I still find those grand old pages to be filled with ideas for any number of things, as well as just being fun to read again every once in awhile.

So true, so many good inspirations from these pages and the ecology pages of monsters are awesome.


I use the Elder Druid prestige class from issue 286 in my homebrew. I renamed it the Dark Watch Sentinel (Dark Watch being the name of the organization it belongs to). I also renamed and tweaked the class abilities to fit PF. I love the earlier books in the Shannara series and wanted to incorporate some aspect of it into my own world.


I'm planning a conversion of the elemental demons :P

Sovereign Court

Elder druid and elementals demons are fun ones indeed.


3.x material I particularly liked was the Eldritch Master PrC (# 280, page 88) and the Hex Dragon (# 343, page 39).

2E material: The Taltos (# 247, page 38), especially the type that shapechange into dragons. One of the players in an Underdark campaign played one of those.


Pathfinderised version of the articles on Flaws (originally introduced in the 3.x version of Unearthed Arcana), because you can never have enough feats. (Each flaw - when taken at character creation - allows the character an extra feat, but a character may take no more than two at character creation.)

Racial flaws appear in # 328 (although several can be used by other races), Barbarian flaws in # 325, Bard in # 324, Cleric in # 326, Druid in # 324, Paladin in # 324, Ranger in # 329, Sorcerer in # 327, and Wizard in # 333. In several instances, other classes can use a particular class' flaw. I'm not sure why Fighters, Monks, and Rogues missed out on class-specific flaws.

Dragon # 330 has flaws for Commoners, but it's not very serious - Unimportant NPC and Corpse being two examples. :)

LOVED the Taltos!

So...have you done a conversion for pathfinder ???

I would LOVE to see it.


Sorry, Nighttree, I never converted it. I just mentioned it because it struck a chord with me. (Don't have my Dragon magazines anymore, either!)

IIRC, it was a shamanistic-type class. The medium class produced by Purple Duck Games (in Legendary Classes: Covenant Magic) is cool though!
