Books of Experimental Might + Pathfinder =?


General Discussion (Prerelease)


I recently picked up Monte Cook's Book of Experimental Might I and II. These are essentially the house rules he uses for his current 3.5 campaign, and there are some neat ideas.

Has anyone tried using these supplements with Pathfinder? It seems like a good fit, but I'm not sure how balanced it would be.

I definitely want to make use of the Disciplines idea for Clerics, Druids, Wizards, Paladins and Rangers, although I'm not sure that using Disciplines and the School / Domain powers would be balanced.

I'm also very fond of the Health / Grace mechanic, and the 'Take a Breather' action, and wouldn't mind incorporating those.


I have enjoyed the additions of the Fighter's Feats, etc.
I haven't yet introduced the first book's class-by-design features.

I think the fighter feats from book 2 are the solution to buffing up the fighter. I think the disciplines would have to be folded into the domain powers somehow, but that would take some work. I plan on using his versions of the metamagic feats though, they just make more sense to me.
