Based on feedback received, here is Chapter one with new ascetics/formatting.

hopefully easier to read and more ascetically pleasing to the eye.

I knew that coming in. I also knew that no one here is afraid to post honest negative feedback. To me, that is an invaluable tool.

Thanks for the replies. In regards to formatting, one could just say, fuck it, it's a playtest document in progress, remove all the art and stick with a basic black and white color scheme, but then people would probably bitch about that too. Doesn't mean your complaints about too much is invalid of ...

Factor12 is homebrew high fantasy RPG currently in the playtest phase. Set in the world of Aerde, where an omnipresent energy source called the Nexus flows, Factor12 brings new twists to the fantasy genre of games. Some of the game’s highlights: 1) Competency & Competency Dice: Most actions in ...

...nor would they probably take you, but:

SKR's job has been posted.

My first thought was of y'all.

While Guardians of Order was busily ..... It's incredibly shitty. I mean, how many consumer products include a manifesto stating that problems with using the consumer product are problems with the user and you're welcome to make your own damn product now that we have your money? Obviously: this did...

Also, there should be a requirement that all players must select Fighter as their first class/the first time they play the game. I DM a lot.

as far as people suggesting super hero games, MWS has a current Marvel Superheroes game GR has both Mutants and Masterminds 3e and DC Heroes currently out and, yes, Champions always has a loyal following. Not sure it's actually in print, or just print-on-demand but the original creators of Villians ...

To add in a few bits of information gained actually attending some Paizo seminars (and thus fuel the rage): Weren't some of the examples of "mythic" things include a Cure Light Wounds spell that cures 3d6 damage + 1 ability damage, and a fireball spell that does 10d10 damage + sets things...

To add in a few bits of information gained actually attending some Paizo seminars (and thus fuel the rage): Mythic "achievement"-based leveling will be 1/2 based on Player choices of which track/destiny/whatever they choose, and 1/2 by whatever the GM decides is necessary to go the rest of...

First of all, absolutely no one is saying that Magic Weapon or Named Bullet would or could be reused more than once per turn, because it says they only get replicated once per turn. Stop being an asshole. -Username17 The obvious reading is that all summoned projectiles have any spell cast on the co...

BANDOLIER PRICE 5 SP WEIGHT — This leather belt is worn over one shoulder and runs diagonally across the chest and back. It has small loops or pouches for holding eight objects the size of a flask or small dagger. You can use the “retrieve a stored item” action to take an item from a bandolier. You...

Oops, no look, Divine Arrow also has a discharge phrase, so no go on that either. EDIT: I guess this is the last post I will make on the subject, since I know I can't possibly get the people involved to agree with me, and it's starting to get redundant. Agree/Disagree, there is no way we are going t...

I should clarify. The spells I said it wouldn't work for, I mean wouldn't work as a multiplier in the way some dickhead above suggested. I would accept an argument from a player that said that it would replace the one arrow with the enhancement on it, with the exceptions of Venomous Bolt/Ki Arrow (i...

Hey Frank, fuck you. Here's the spells it would work with: Align Weapon Flame Arrow Keen Edge Greater Magic Weapon Versatile Weapon Daybreak Arrow Unerring Weapon Here's the spells it wouldn't Bless Weapon Magic Weapon (Smart Money says just enhance the bow anyway) Venomous Bolt Weapon of Awe (Again...

Nope. Is it your contention that the target of NB is "one projectile"? See, I can be idiotic too.

Only, Pathfinder has many different spells that affect projectiles exactly like greater magic weapon and align weapon. Some examples are keen edge and versatile weapon. They include the same exact phrasing of "up to 50 projectiles which must be in the same container" It is my belief that t...

So, you CAN use Abundant Ammunition to turn Magic Weapon into (shorter duration) Greater Magic Weapon, then. Good to know. Dumbasses, the lot of you.

My point is exactly this: Named Bullet is NOT "a spell that affects projectiles, like Align Weapon or Greater Magic Weapon" and therefore the Abundant Ammunition has absolutely no effect on anything enhanced by Named Bullet, just like it would have 0 effect on anything enhanced by (normal)...

The obvious reading is that all summoned projectiles have any spell cast on the container, like what it says. So you fire ten bullets a round, it summons ten bullets. The summoned ammo all has Named Ammo cast on it. Yay, a spell multiplier! Yeah, but Named Bullet doesn't work that way. You don't ca...

So if I cast Named Bullet on a pellet. And then I cast it on a different pellet. Then your contention is that it is removed from both as soon as I use one? The spell is called "Named Bullet" all pellets drawn from the container have "that spell" IE, Named Bullet cast on them. It...

Especially since the Abundant Ammunition spell has to be cast first (with a duration of 1 min/lvl) and the Named Bullet second (1 hr/lvl or until discharged) in order for the combo to work, so they're likely wasting 2 combat rounds or 2 prep rounds at least with this nonsense.

WTF? The spell specifies the target "One piece of ammunition or one thrown weapon" as the target. Doesn't say projectile anywhere. Of course, the spell also says "Once the target is used to attack the selected creature, successfully or not, this spell is discharged." Even if the...

Regarding bonus feats in Pathfinder, all of this language has been eliminated and the most obvious items have been altered. War Domain doesn't grant Weapon Focus. Weapon Finesse no longer has a +1 BAB prerequisite, so they can leave it on smaller creatures as a bonus feat without worrying about whet...
