Today, 07:52 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Exploration and social - the two pillars that have no mechanics in D&D 5e/NextThere is a wide gap between "having no mechanics" (which is a bad thing) and "being gamified" (which is also a bad thing). It strikes me that your...15 replies | 688 view(s)

Yesterday, 04:17 PMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder The grand return: Building a PF1e encounter in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20One thing about PF1 goblins is that they absolutely and violently loathe writing. That makes them much more likely to be sorcerers rather than...2 replies | 167 view(s)

Yesterday, 09:48 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder Can I wield The Spiked Fist of Destiny...? in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20Well, I'm assuming that you'll attack with the gauntlet whenever you can't use the longhammer (due to the enemy being either too close, or...9 replies | 619 view(s)

Yesterday, 09:16 AMOh, I had one of those. Well, I was a player in that campaign, but it still didn't work. In my case, it ended up with a long dragged-out battle that...17 replies | 1059 view(s)

Yesterday, 08:59 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder 2e - How does it compare to other systems? in Roleplaying GamesNo, there is a very fundamental difference between "debuffs" and "CC". You might as well claim that PF2 has CC because it redefines CC to mean...12 replies | 1654 view(s)

Yesterday, 05:56 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder 2e - How does it compare to other systems? in Roleplaying GamesI disagree. 4E has far more diversity in both build options and tactics, to the point where 4E has a dedicated character role for crowd control, and...12 replies | 1654 view(s)

2024-05-08, 03:03 PMYeah, I had the same idea, except I went Bard after three levels of Soulknife. Yes. Soulknife has solid combat damage and some of the best skill...18 replies | 1147 view(s)

2024-05-08, 03:40 AMWell, the obvious thing is that you can't cast a bonus action spell and a regular spell in the same round (except a cantrip). Early in combat, I'd...15 replies | 2696 view(s)

2024-05-08, 03:31 AMPretty much; WOTC got player feedback that certain players enjoy having fewer options. This kind of player would likely play a Fighter or Rogue in...32 replies | 1573 view(s)

2024-05-07, 06:23 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder Pathfinder Weightlifting Competition in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20I've found a fun trick for this. The Equipment Trick (scabbard) lets you make a bull rush as a swift action, albeit without the pushing. A level...10 replies | 1504 view(s)

2024-05-06, 09:54 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder 2e - How does it compare to other systems? in Roleplaying GamesOut of the systems you mention, the only one that has solid rules for investigation and exploration is PF1 / 3.5. The other systems all default to...12 replies | 1654 view(s)

2024-05-06, 02:54 AMI really like this kind of approach. And I note that Magic: The Gathering has been doing that for a looong time before 4E was released, so WOTC...32 replies | 1573 view(s)

2024-05-02, 01:33 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread How would you do *actual* high-powered fantasy play with D&D? in D&D 5e/NextBy the nature of Bounded Accuracy, 5E doesn't dealy with "high-powered" fantasy all that well. Instead, I'd suggest you go with 3E D&D, or...33 replies | 2774 view(s)

2024-05-01, 12:45 PMKurald Galain replied to a thread Rules Q&A Rule variations between PF1/3.5 - Stacking in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20To be fair, there are thousands of multiclass options and only a very small handful that I'd consider cheesy. Like, druid 9 / monk 1 is not a...37 replies | 2124 view(s)

2024-05-01, 12:34 PMYes, you could do that. Most players in my area printed it like that and then crossed out powers they used; I was one of the few that actually made a...3 replies | 178 view(s)

2024-04-28, 02:33 PMKurald Galain replied to a thread Rules Q&A Rule variations between PF1/3.5 - Stacking in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20Yes, it is a rule in PF that you can't add the same ability to a roll twice, unless they have different types. Nymph gets a deflection bonus,...37 replies | 2124 view(s)

2024-04-24, 09:31 AMNo, the game does not. The game expects rogues to have a +3 bonus with most of their skills (at the levels most commonly played at), and that doesn't...674 replies | 30295 view(s)
