The Gaming Den

There's a playtest for a new version of the stealth skill.

I can't see any fucking difference with the old version. Can someone explain me, with very simple words?

rasmus: You're new, so you don't realize that ramming your dick through poorly thought out rules is kind of what we do. No. What you're doing right now is saying "hey, nothing in the rules says that humans have two hand! My character can have 36! And nothing in the rules says that you can't ta...

See also: Stealth, synthesist Summoners, what bonuses apply to your CMB Or Ice tomb's range, tetori's bonus feat, instantaneous words of power, weapons and maneuvers (more specifically "weapon finesse and maneuvers")... Anyway, the precision and cohesiveness of Pathfinder sucks, but sayin...

And as a bonus, now there are Alchemists and Magi that are better than Fighters, too! Since the Fighter is a NPC class, I don't see this as a problem. Seriously, the Fighter is a mook class: "you can't do anything relevant except hitting things, but you have high numbers when doing so". T...

*sound of brain exploding*

GNS theory for dummies Premise: you want a simple classification of players, which seems less retarded than "roleplayers vs rollplayers". Note: the premise is, err, a premise. You only have to accept it; you shouldn't ask "why would I classify the players?" or anything. GNS theo...

When you're always searching you either find the trap or you don't, with no input from the player. That's boring and not much of a game. The most interesting decision regarding traps is the decision to look for them. If you're always searching everything, there's no decision making. It's just a mat...

I said the ideas are good, but the implementation is often crap. I think we agree. Anyway: Can you sketch a build where the dimensional dervish feats are useful? Cause they look super cool at first glance, but really crap at second. You can probably do something with a summoner, synthesist (the synt...

What good ideas are you even talking about? Sorcerer's bloodline; they reinforce a caster, but allow some customisation and add some flavor. Recently, the dimensional dervish chain. Prehensible hair. The create pit spell chain. All of the above is caster only, but err... I abandoned the idea to pla...

Oh, and I have no banned opposition schools because of an arcane discovery that I burned a bonus feat on. The whole arcane discoveries thing is completely retarded. "Arcane discoveries are not wizard-only-feat, but you can expand a wizard's bonus feat to gain one. You can also expand a regular...

Hey its cool that we got new people joining our ever expanding circle of hate but I wonder, how did you guys manage to stumble upon this place? Although the first rule of the den is you do not talk about the den, there is sometime a link from the Paizo board. Actually, you should thanks Paizo for e...

Disengaging feint is a weaker version of the withdraw action that everyone gets for free (or did they remove that in PF?) No, they didn't remove the withdraw action. That's simply pathfinder's UM/UC design: create some random useless crap which is weaker than base option, add some random overly com...

There's a monk archetype named "sensei". You gain bardic performance, except you don't have all of them and you have less per day. At level 6, you gain the ability to spend ki points to grant your bonus to someone else; and at level 12, this affects all your allies (except you, since it wo...
