A Stealthand-Perception system needs to resolve the following situations: 1. Trying to launch a surprise attack against an enemy 2. Evading detection long enough for the enemy to go away (or until a certain event occurs) 3. Points one and two, but in the middle of combat. 4. Infiltrating a hostile l...

None of that changes that Pathfinder doesn't actually have transformation magic that doesn't suck at any level, and 3e can in fact do that at levels 1-14 without permanent stat buffs. PF polymorph rules are actually playable. 3.5 polymorph rules are a fucking ridiculous mess and you know it. YEAH I...

The Polymorph spells that anyone actually uses - [foo] Shape X, Alter Self, Baleful Polymorph - work just fine . Polymorph Any Object has always been a pain in the ass. and yes, the PF version fails by not having Undead actually be a functional option. But it takes all of 5 fucking seconds to rule ...

You assholes are seriously suggesting that 3.5 polymorph rules are any good, and that makes you even bigger retards than the people who think Buhlman and Mearls are competent game designers. No. The implication is that the 3.5 polymorph rules say what they do. It's totally broken and there are a fe...

Re: "A game is a series of interesting decisions"
I think at it's core it comes down to the leading quote: A game is a series of interesting decisions. Now, this isn't everyone's definition. It couldn't be. And there's also definitely room for games to be about largely fictional decisions, and I'm not ragging on that playstyle. But, for all games ...

Hollywood is still in the entertainment business. The major comics publishers have apparently decided to stop focusing on entertaining and instead focusing on propagandizing. But it turns out that being in the propaganda business might get you glowing reviews, but not that many people are willing t...

Pretty much, though we know the design lead was Mark Seifter (the guy who got SKR's old job). There aren't a lot of data points to go on of course, but given that his other class was the Medium and their problems are similar I'd be tempted to attribute the issues to him. They both have resource mec...

Well it does have Haste and Fly. So while it's not really worth specializing in. I can't ever see myself just banning it outright though, and being forced to use higher level slots for that kind of shit. So how about them occult classes? Spiritualist is a shitty summoner, Kineticist is bad, but I s...

Na, the Succubus never had free will in that scenario. [threadDerail] Are you saying 'free will' doesn't exist? Or are you saying the succubus had none before he/she/it (whatever) was summoned?

One thing I like to do when GMing investigations is couching everything in terms of the characters' paradigms . Like, this guy is a cop, he's on the lookout for crooks and troublemakers, but he can't tell an accountant from an account manager from a contract attorney. This guy is a careerist, he not...
