If it causes you no major side effects, AND it helps you, there isn't really much need to go trying a lot of medications. Most doctors use Adderall first because it's so effective. Thank you, Maj! It's just that the realization that so much of my dysfunction could be alleviated by ADHD meds makes m...

Sorry if this is incoherent. I'm out of med doses for the day. On the advice of my psychologist, I went to see a psychiatrist yesterday for diagnosis and pharmacological treatment of suspected ADHD (inattentive presentation). I was told to expect a lot of testing and review of documentation (work/gr...

The short version (because I live for this stuff, but I don't want to hold you hostage if you don't) is that we limit it to +1 armor per limb. Oh I wouldn't be on the Den if I didn't love reading about mechanics. Go nuts, I'd love to hear more about rules tweaks and changes. I kinda like the cybera...

Thanks a ton for posting this! I bet those tables were a pain in the ass. They are really helpful though. I'm still digesting them. A couple of immediate questions: How do you handle called shots to increase damage? I think a -1 dice pool in exchange for a +1 dv up to a max of -4 dice /+4 DV in the ...

JesterZero, would you willing to post the threshold modifier house rules your group uses? I assume thresholds must come up a lot otherwise there's nothing to negate by employing autofire and thus no advantage to shooting more bullets at enemies. And if thresholds come up a lot, and enemies get both ...

Shadowrun Alt.War Clarifications
I know Alt.War was never finished but I've been getting a hankering to GM again after being kinda bored as a player in a PF game. I think I might want to run SR4 again, but this time using Alt.War rules. Has anyone done this? I was wondering how DV's and weapon strength requirements stage up for nar...

Thanks for your guys help with the secret page trick. Now I have questions to help out the druid in our party. In 3.5 could a druid cast produce flame and share it with their animal companion so that it's natural attacks do extra fire damage? In PF could a druid cast produce flame on their animal co...

I'm not really sure what the issue is. You still get two free spells for going up a level, and secret page in Pathfailure was only nerfed so that you cannot make a secret page showing a spell of higher level than the actual page. But since you always have two free spells of your highest known spell...

What are the best ways to minimize the cost of scribing spells into my wizard's spellbook? (The old secret page trick doesn't seem to work quite as well in PF as it did in 3.5) Also, I want to use the spell Snapdragon Fireworks with the Dazing spell metamagic. It would be really great if I could cha...

Do you guys have any tips for playing level 1-2 wizards against varied opposition in a dungeon environment which likely includes but is not limited to constructs, aberrations, mindless creatures, and if I'm really lucky, also the undead? (Assume the party does not consist of someone that it would be...

I finally get to play in a campaign instead of GMing one. But I don't really know Pathfinder. I've played 2 games sessions of it in my entire life, playing two very low-level barbarian characters. I want to roll up a wizard. Can you guys help me build one? Please? We start at level 1, and theoretica...

I have questions about how Dismissal (Advanced Magnetism) works. By spending three power points, the character’s dismissive demeanor takes hold until the end of the scene. The character makes a Charisma + Tactics or Willpower + Intimidation check, and anyone who wishes to summon the nerve to act aga...

How long does combat usually last (turns wise) in AS between roughly equal parties? Does it vary by what Potency they're at? One or two turns in my experience. Potency is not an input that matters, the character builds and EDGE are everything. Squishy characters (low strength characters lacking Shi...

I thought I understood how Blasphemy (advanced Names of Blasphemies) works, but one of my players has a different reading of the text that could be valid. I thought it worked by rolling your (Int + Larceny or Cha + Bureacracy) and on three net hits your target is banished to the Deep Limbo. My playe...

Thanks guys! I have even more questions for you. How do different protean powers combine? Say an antagonist has activated Giant Size (Advanced Clout). Your character hits them with Transformation (Advanced Call of the Wild), turning them into a goldfish. Does transformation override the Giant Size, ...

Thanks for taking a stab at so many of my questions, Orion. I was wondering what constitutes a superior character build in this system? I've been trying to assess the efficacy of strength based [in media-res] builds since strength is so obviously easy to inflate to relatively huge values: Daeva (PAT...

After Sundown Rules and Settings Questions
I'm going to be MCing an A.S. game next month. I like what I've read so far of the system, but I have a few rules/setting questions for things I couldn't figure out on my first pass through the rulebook: Beast Form (Call of the Wild Basic Power) Is the your ability to use disciplines/sorcery in anyw...
