Make whole has a casting time of 10 minutes and only repairs magic items with a CL that's half yours or less. You could do it between fights at 10th level or higher, but I can't imagine the hassle of trading shots at each other's clothing at the start of every fight is going to make your game more ...

I spent like 20 minutes browsing that site and I don't think I read a single actual rule. Most of it is pages describing how awesome this game is, if only there were a goddamn book you could read to learn how to play it.

It's a social talent from Inner Sea Intrigue.

Once per day when you bone a willing partner for an hour you get a pool of rerolls equal to the higher of you or your partner's Charisma bonus, and you can use them as an immediate action to reroll Charisma skill checks or Will saves.

That's kind've hilarious, considering they still advertise Pathfinder on the basis of running a huge public playtest. This imaginative tabletop game builds upon more than 10 years of system development and an open playtest involving more than 50,000 gamers to create a cutting-edge RPG experience tha...

They usually do a pretty solid job of it, and put out material that's reasonably playable and fun. They do a lot of public playtests and unlike Paizo actually pay attention to the feedback they get. But the actual company is only like two people. Their recent expansion and increase in projects is a ...

Check this line out... I wish I was kidding: For the HP that's just sensible (though at that point maybe they don't need a d12 hit die? Just saying...), and of course a few of "serious challenge, also if you want to be an Undead then be this" Undead creatures in 3.5 had that as a special ...

From the text of Summon Monster.
Creatures summoned using this spell cannot use spells or spell-like abilities that duplicate spells with expensive material components (such as wish).

Wizards get one more hitpoint per level. They get another 2 at first level. d4 -> 2.5 hp/level d6 -> 3.5 hp/level On the topic of Pathfinder Online, I tried it for shits and giggles and could only force myself to play for about half an hour. The whole thing is a huge unplayable mess, and despite bei...

That sentence doesn't really imply they aren't weapon attacks, it implies that you can use an unarmed strike in place of a weapon to make a "melee weapon attack".

Combines pretty well with the Magical Lineage trait as well. Pick it up through Additional Traits and retrain it to whatever summon monster spell you're going to use to summon bruisers whenever you gain a new spell level and you can summon nothing but giant monsters all day without relying on rods.

Relative level difference matters. It's entirely reasonable to want a group of 5th level characters to have a shot against a 9th level one, but not want a squad of 1st level archers to shit all over a 20th level character.

So because it's selling well at this very moment, we can't say that it has failed. Technically we can't say it is failing because sales are doing okay and people are talking about it. But we all know it is going to fail soon enough. So if it is going to have failed but it isn't failing now, does th...

An Arcanist that VMCs into Wizard for Admixture has the best raw damage and hit rate without being shafted by energy types, since they can burn their reservoir for increased DCs and caster level. They have to wait an extra level for spell levels which sucks ass, though. Otherwise, Admixture wizard w...

Wish can still be used to make trade goods (like art objects and cut gems) since you can duplicate fabricate with it and fabricate lists the crafting materials as material components.

Come on guys. Pathfinder has no shortage of things to talk shit about but at least verify your claims. Speaking of Traits, Desperate Casting and Desperate Resolve are pretty much a tax for all casters since Concentration is no longer a skill, and checks are made with your level+Casting stat Modifier...
