Metabreath? Dragon-specific spells? Shadow Dragon with those rules (also in FR)? That book was a riot for the DM. Plus, the baby Black Dragon is so cute. Look at him! Both monsters and combat have been progressively neutered. I mean even in PF1e which I generally enjoy in many parts (the ones...

Question - have you evere DMed using the 3e Draconomicon with its full "power" so to speak? Do you realize what 3e dragons could do with it? I mean from a certain point of view, my question is dishonest because 3e Draconomicon worked within the 3e framework. Which is basically the whole point.

I don't really care addressing the usual Druidzilla rants I heard for decades, but I wish to point out at this because this is the reason why I stopped lurking in the first place. The first paragraph shows your general way to present things. See what you did here? You are not-so-subtly implying...

This is again very subjective though. You accuse the designers of "stumbling" into what is for me an excellent result, while you present 4e as perfect (implied with "purposefully designed to be exactly what it was intended to be."), while for me, it was an abject failure. I mean, not only for...

Hi Ezekiel, I don't think you have any intention to seriously engage on 3e (see as an example what you wrote about dissociated mechanics, which, like it or not, ARE a thing), I would waste my time and it would be off-topic anyway. I am sorry you have such axe to grind against 3e, but your...

My apologies for suddenly jumping into a discussion like this. I am a long-time lurker, albeit I posted here a long, long time ago. I was lurking the thread, in fact, searching for ideas. The topic is dear to me because I am working on a 3e/PF homebrew and tinkering with a subclass of the...

Point being, the monsters inside the book are very interesting and well made. I loved the remade Nightshades, the two new Fiend families, the fey, the plants. The quality of the book is equal if not superior to the B1, which is a very rare thing to see.

As you go up with level, things go better. You can mix it up with qinjong for true strike, and even with weapon master or four wind. Unless I am wrong (check!) rerolled check, additional standard actions and stuff add more awesome. You just must realize is a melee controller. Since you add...

Say it's overpowered is laughable. Is intersting. That's all. If people complains is more powerful than the rogue, is because perhaps the rogue has seen stolen a lot of his stuff by prestige classes. I only used it as NPC, but with since I had to build 4 of them I suddenly realized that pump...

I see the thing in the opposite way. IMHO cast in grapple should be impossible. And i consider high level concentration check far too easy without optimization. Casters must avoid being grappled and threatened, and in case, melee are there to save them. the fact that concentrations are too easy...

A spellcaster or an outsider (so, another type of spellcaster) have big problems if grappled. high concentrations for the spells they want to cast. So if grappled, since concentration in grapple is high, they must remove the arrow and lose the action. Synergy with spellcasters meant pit or...

I meant "grappling is beyond worthless". and "I don't like" is not that an argument for sunder. You are not foced to loot everything in every campaing. If you don't consider the valiue of sundering, say, an holy symbol or a scroll with a prepared action, I don't know what to say.

You are joking right? Try to shoot to a spellcaster or outsider. Either they melee, or must expend the nex standard action, unless minion are involved. And in this case, you forced two targets in the same place. And let not start on the tactical utility of bull rushes + teamwork with...

Improved Natural Attack (Monster) Attacks made by one of this creature's natural attacks leave vicious wounds. Prerequisite: Natural weapon, base attack bonus +4. Benefit: Choose one of the creature's natural attack forms (not an unarmed strike). The damage for this natural attack...

AFAIK, the combo works.

Crossbows are mechanically inferior to bows. I think it does not change from one class to another. The only exception is sniping with a double one (combo with deadly stroke) - in this case the fighter is more suitable for the feats needed. I see the issue in this way: Mobile Heavy Fire...

1. yes. Is a melee attack, you csn trip as part of full attack (any of the attacks) or as part of an AOO. 2. The same way, you can trip with either or both attacks of cleave. A CMB check is an attack, so if you are successful with the first attack you can trigger the second. 3. use mixed...

Addendum on "you are too funny Paizo". You are sadly right. Paizo is full of awesome ideas, and I love the fact that they don't fear being groundbreaking (see, as an example, introducing gunslingers in the game). Nevertheless, their balance REALLY sucks. And what is worse, they seem quite slow...

I would use the Ki throw combo at very high level, in case you started as a tripper, and the GM starts to throw in big untrippable monsters. Nice the True Strike for grapple outsiders too (high CMD). It's a class feature + 1 feat (i intended take the Ki Throw feat). For the gain, I would take...

I wish to point out that true strike should not be understimated. Is a maneuver, grapple included, syou are sure to land. Another good combo is with trip and ki throw (ki throw makes you ignore the size limits, and true strike overcomes the gianormous CMD of big creatures). Remember that the...
