Weird that my copy and paste is a quote but oh well.

Now that the 5.1 srd is protected via cc, I was wondering what a minimalist setting would be like. Imagine a world with only the pantheons listed in the srd, one that is so dominated by religion that all PCs begin as acolytes. One where grappling is highly emphasized and made a point of pride...

I am interested in an online dice roller that gives you visual dice on the screen (not simply numbers). Further more, one of the dice must be a different colour than the others. Thus if I roll 3d6, two of the dice could be green, and one of them red. If I roll 4d6, three of the dice could be...

This race is not official as a pc yet but you can get npc stats for the skeleton from the dmg so technically this is core. Perhaps due to memories of the Lost Worlds fighting game book “Skeleton with Scimitar and Shield” I have an urge to try one out. They have some downsides (low int is not so...

A bit of a kludge, but the Order domain from Unearthed Arcana allows one, after 6th level, when casting a 2nd or higher enchantment spell, to get a lower level spell slot back (max. 5th spell slot back). This is very similar to the Expert Divination's Wizard ability to get spell slots back when...

Does Pathfinder 2 offer options where you can just add in the numerical advantages to your character sheet once (like just add to your saves or initiative or attack bonus or whatever) and then not think about them again? It is possible to design a whole character like that in this system? If...

I doubt it is the most powerful choice out there, but I love it. I have a young child and very little time to game. When I am gaming, I am often tired. It is very nice to have a very simple option (indeed, if I choose "Defense" and "Duellist" and stay "sword and board" I don't have to worry...

I read Rucka's White Out and that described an Antarctic community where people lived year round. But I imagine that some places are colder than others on that continent. Are there places where people move in in the summer and then move out in the winter, leaving it with 0 population then?

I mean, they can tell people apart, apparently, but I can't tell crows apart, but I believe that they can tell each other apart. How? Do they have distinctive UV or IR markings that their eyes can see that my eyes cannot?

I like the idea of the Assassin class but was wondering whether the Assassin Death Attack ability is something best reserved for solo operations (maybe scouting ahead, maybe out and out paid assassinations) rather than something to try in the heat of combat. For one thing, three rounds of prep...

I was wondering if there is a difference in font size or colour or background colour or something. Because despite my middle-aged eyes I can read the pocket edition of Pathfinder's Bestiary 2, but I have trouble reading the pocket edition of the Pathfinder core book. Anyone have thoughts on this?

In fantasy literature, there are many tales of poison that, either slowly or quickly, will kill its victim. The poisoner in Best Served Cold, for example, is very effective at killing people outright (and often within moments) with the slightest drop of poison, rarely needing a weapon at all...

I noticed that there is a loose association with Acid and Earth in Pathfinder (Earth domain clerics get Acid Dart, Stone Oracles can get acid resistance, earth school elementalist wizards get acid cloud, the Oread race gets acid resistance). But this is not always the case (deep earth sorcerers...

I was wondering what, if anything, would be different if I ran a campaign with the rule that all pcs must choose a character that is size small (so gnome, halfling, etc.). One change is that mounted combat might become more common, because medium size mounts can get to places where large size...

In Unearthed Arcana, 23rd level Hierophant Druids get, among other things, the ability to "roam Inner Plane Probability lines (the 7th Dimension)". What does this mean? Was anything ever done with this in any TSR product or clone?

I have a weapon that is +1 bane (evil outsiders) and bane (chaotic outsiders) and I hit a demon; what happens? I have a holy, axiomatic +1 weapon and I hit a demon; what happens?

Bards in 1st ed. are said to get all the abilities of Druids (except that the spell list is different, notably lacking in 6th and 7th level spells). But with Unearthed Arcana, the druid can become a hierophant druid, which gets some nifty elemental abilities. Do high level bards also get those...

Sapphire Hierarchs are listed in Magic of Incarnum. Among the fluff is the idea that they have some servants attached to them via the cult (these are lawful characters - fighters, monks, wizards, soulborn, clerics, incarnates, etc.). So I was wondering what sort of adventures would be suitable...

I have an idea for a Sapphire Hierarch with the Craft Arms and Armour feat (originally so that I could make axiomatic weapons). But it got me thinking: what else can I do with this feat? I know I can make other magical weapons and magical armours, but is there anything I should be looking for in...
