Thanks for the answers! I don't know where the errata is, so my plan is to run it as written in 3.5. Double-checking my copy, I can see both arguments on polymorph with templates. The argument for polymorph snagging templates is that it clearly overrides alter self's limits on what forms you can tak...

Old-school stupid wizard trick I came across while re-reading the 2E Tome of Magic: Schrodinger's Armour. The Wild Magic spell There/Not There affects all objects within a 10'cube. it has no saving throw, and probably no magic resist because it targets objects and not creatures though it's hard to s...

Why would anyone play a pathfinder class instead of a Tome one? I guess 9th level casters like the witch and the shaman are worth it, but not so sure about anything else. Do you use pathinfer spells or 3.5 spells or both? As radthemad4 guessed, this player was super-hyped to try out the whole custo...

I'm currently running a Tome game with Pathfinder classes considered upon request. I'm using scaling feats because I never had a chance to try them out earlier. 3.5 skill list with Pathfinder +3 class skill bonus instead of extra skill points. Mostly Red_Rob's scaling items, but wealth by level will...

If you wanted to set a game in Montana, this would be a core reason why. The very Fargoish remoteness of everything and everyone is a core, probably the core reason you'd set a story there at all. Sure, if you're looking at a map and picking a place. However, one of the benefits of urban fantasy is...

I'm not familiar with Eberron changelings, but I'd definitely give at least a +2 circumstance bonus for shapeshifting out of rope. If they can change size categories I'd even let them automatically escape by shrinking or make a second Strength check to break the bonds at a larger size by trying to g...

Ah, thanks! I missed the part of Snap Shot where you didn't provoke attacks of opportunity in melee with it. I thought I needed Point Blank Master for that, which is literally impossible for a Hunter to obtain. Definitely ditching the crit feats for that then (though I need Weapon Focus for it to wo...

I'm building a character for an upcoming Pathfinder campaign, and I'd like a quick sanity check on my plans. I'd like to build a Hunter as an archery specialist with some self-buffs and battlefield control spells for backup. I could be convinced to play a Ranger instead if there's something really g...

Anyone play FFTA2 who can give me some tips? It's been a long time since I played that game, but I vaguely remember that quest. I think I stocked up on Phoenix Downs and used Item as most of the party's secondary skill. I might have tried some action-denial status moves as well like immobilizing hi...

Veil halfway works through cameras. Veil does not affect cameras or other objective traces of a creature’s passing, merely prevents observers (even indirect observers) from noticing what is there. I asked about that rule on the boards before, and the response I got was that if you're watching a live...

Speaking of golems, how do they stay hidden all the time? Mask of a Thousand Faces stops people from noticing them day-to-day, but security cameras still see them for what they are. A quick back of the napkin calculation based on US crime rates suggests one would just happen to be at the scene of a ...
