Generally, I go with magic items being relatively immune to mundane wear and tear. They can be broken... grab the amulet chain and yank and it can break... but they won't usually fall apart during normal use. I'm figuring you do this because of the inherent hassle in determining such things and you...

Been thinking a bit about this one and kind of wondering how many out there actually pay attention to this kind of thing. Besides magic armor, how often, if ever, has anyone ever had to get a magic item repaired? I mean, unless you spend an extra 50K in gold to get your shiny new mystic trinket the ...

I had a player who adored using Chameleon. (The Predator movies are his fave so you can guess why) We had a similar discussion on movement effects while Chameleon is active and figured that we could base how effective it was with other actions he took based on how long he took to do them. For exampl...

By default, damage from a shield is blunt damage, whether you're smacking someone with the face of the shield or 'punching' someone with the edge of it. A few modifications can be done to shields to vary the damage type inflicted, such as spikes for a combination of blunt and piercing damage, much l...

Ask around for directions to the nearest goblin warren. Goblins are notoriously messy and you stand a pretty solid chance of finding way more than enough bones with a really wide variety of types up to and even including a few humanoid ones (goblins are usually cannibals after all) From there it's a...

Not bad. Some pretty cool stuff with an interesting story behind them. Makes me wonder if the Dwarves had a similar assembly of warriors themselves and what they may have left behind.

Peppermint and pumpkin spice? Hmmmmmm... Let's see.... Peppermint: A refreshing, if rather sharp, mint flavor, popular in many candies, particularly around holiday seasons. Grants the user temporary immunity to cold and cold based attacks. User takes no damage and suffers no penalties/side effects ...

You need to make Strawberry, Butterscotch, Licorice, Peanut Butter and Dark Chocolate. You are absolutely correct. So... Breath Mints (new flavors) Strawberry: A light and sweet fruit flavor that's just a little tangy. Temporarily increased the user's MA by 10 points, plus adds an additional 10% bo...

I know it's been a long time, but I think it's about time I get some more product on the shelves. so, after a bit of experimenting with a few ideas, I think I've got something everybody might like here.

Well, a guy wants to bring in a Diabolist so all the ward questions are arising. I assume some of these might have been answered somewhere and I apologize if I'm bringing them up again. First, the guy has what I think is a BS interpretation of how Area of Effect Wards work. He is under the impressi...

Probably already satisfied with the answers you've gotten so far, but I'll throw in my 2 gold anyway... PP bonuses apply to all Strike bonuses EXCEPT those dealing with Modern Weapons. The ONLY exception is the 2ed PFRPG Weapon Proficiency, WP Modern Weapons (guns). It states "Normal strike bon...

What other creatures can be made into armor? Are there any creatures you would like to have pieces of to make things out of, and do you offer work to adventurers who can bring you said items? Just about any creature with a relatively thick hide or heavy duty scales can have their skins turned into ...

you are correct, he does hold souls for easy resurrection and there is nothing about the reasons for it. Not exactly. Utu is quoted in D&G saying " It is my privilege to let those souls in my keeping return to their bodies. Indeed, I have been known to delay a soul for just that purpose&qu...

Reverse order answering here... Yes, I am quite capable of making armor from both dragon scales and hide as well as simply selling you the scales as well. Of course, nearly any blacksmith or leatherworker worth their salt could do the same, and maybe have it ready for you faster than I could (I'm a ...

JuliusCreed

What kind of cost we talking about for some of the components? Dragon scales must be pretty pricey, no? Depends on the dragon, mostly. Factors such as dragon type and age weigh heavily into the overall worth of an individual scale. Thus a scale from a fire dragon or thunder lizard hatchling would l...

Now what kind of alchemist would I be if I didn't sell components? Of course I do, good sir, any and all kinds of them, whether for spells, circles, wards, necromancy and more. If I don't have it, no one does.

If memory serves, even 1st ed. restricted WP Longbow to Longbowman and Ranger. However, for the Longbowman it's an OCC Skill while it was an optional available proficiency choice for the Ranger.

Your return is the best thing to happen to these boards in a long while. The only thing that would make me happier is if by some miracle all of the threads that were culled and purged somehow made their way back. Thank you so much for that Nate. And I couldn't agree with you more. It's a shame we d...

May I suggest doing a catalog that the mobile merchant caravans carry with them? An excellent suggestion, my friend, but there's just one small hitch. Uncle Remus' Traveling Emporium is, for all intents, identical to any of his already established stores which, as many already know, can be found li...

JuliusCreed

I shall certainly strive to old friend. And it is certainly good to see you again. Perhaps you could help spread the word of the Grand Re-Opening of the Emporium with news of a rather interesting artifact I happened to stumble across while I was away. *slips a hand below the counter and retrieves a ...

Overpowered power? How about Mechano-Link? With the worlds' current level of dependence on all forms of tech in their life, this power makes you a virtual God.

Wow. Has it really been nearly 7 years? Far far too long a time to be away from the things and people I love so dearly. Yes friends and customers, it's true. The one and only Uncle Remus has returned to blow the dust off this old shop, take stock of what's still here and start refilling by the extr...

I don't see any reason not to allow it, though I gotta agree with the idea of time investment on the part of the teacher. The Palladin would have to take at least a couple of weeks out of his adventuring schedule just to give his student a rundown of just the basics. Anything beyond that means more ...

JuliusCreed

As an alternative idea, rather than increasing the amount of damage done by a bow, try having the damage done by a successful strike from a bow/crossbow apply directly to HP. Traditionally, bow weapons revolutionized warfare by doing potentially lethal amounts of damage from a great distance. The En...

Well, I'll continue asking bizarre questions about magic spells. It seems to be food for thought and spark some decent conversation. So the spell can be cast up to 60ft away and it has a 10ft radiud (Main Book p.189). Is this like a flashbulb going off in the center and it effects everyone within 1...

JuliusCreed

Let's face it... unless you're a really serious role player, chances are your characters don't really have a lot of certain skills such as Domestic, Wilderness or even most Scholar/Technical... and even if they do, they are most often relegated to the occasional down-time uses rather than having any...

For something this powerful I suggest a subtle, yet supremely ominous name. Right off the top of my head I dub thee...... "Oblivion" Feel free to add to this in any way shape or form you see fit. A few examples could be 'The Hand of...', '...'s Heart', 'Dark...' etc. Good luck and great ga...

JuliusCreed

The only problem I have with 'holding' a spell would be the actions that can be taken while the spell is 'held'... for obvious reasons, speaking in any way, shape or form would be out the door; an incantation requires certain magic words to work and if the only thing keeping it from going off is a c...

JuliusCreed

One thing I need to ask when answering this question... are the targets of the spell already in the area it is being cast in? If so then yes... the targets in the area must save twice... once for the initial casting of the first CoS... and, if the first save is successful, a second time for the seco...

I, of all people, know that the last thing we need to add to combat is more dice rolls. Keeping the system flowing smoothly and quickly is always the primary focus. However, this may be a roll worth considering to add a little extra spark of life to your fight scenes. As always, use or lose at your ...

Kevin just talked about this in the latest Rifter article #73 which is offical cannon material about faeries. Any faerie apparently can enchant normal people food into faerie food. It doesn't go in details, but its apparently apart of their iniate magic abilities. Well then (I don't yet have this R...

I can speak from personal experience here. At one point in my life I owned a sword that measured nearly 6 feet in length and weighed in around 10-15 pounds. Pretty sure it would qualify as a giant sized short sword at least. While rather ungainly as a one-handed weapon, with practice I was eventuall...

Hi folks, Can anybody clarify the bonuses for modern WPs in Ninjas and superspies for me please? Under the skills sections, it says +1 to strike at 1st level, +1 at 4th, 7th , 10th and 14th levels. But in the combat section it says +3 to strike at 1st level (+4 for revolver for some reason), +1 for...

The hardest part about this is that you have an Anarchist Priest of Darkness worshiping Wolvenar, a PRINCIPLED god. The logistics for it just don't add up for me.

Speaking in general terms, if something is altered from the basic form that was magic'ed in, then the magic is nullified/set free/broken/etc.. Part of this comes from the metal working was at one time considered to be a form of magic, and thus beat out any other magic that was in the materials to s...

Just thought of this and am about to play test it as soon as I call in my group, but seeking other opinions on the idea as well. I call it the Mixed Martial Artist Rule (MMAR for short)....

I can see allowing it, but make the whole vehicle, including the TW mods, a little 'glitchy'... occasional system failures, power flow hiccups and other general gremlin-esque mayhem that can result from slightly faulty systems.

Joe watches as Uncle Remus shuffles his things around. Never before has he had all of his belongings laid out for display like this.
