I might have an opportunity to play in a Pathfinder game irl soon, but I'm a bit dubious. I'm more of a 'role'player myself, and I've heard that it's a very complicated, unbalanced system - I do like wargames too, but prefer those to be lightweight tightly-integrated things. Does anyone have any thoughts or advice? Is it really true that you have to pick the right class or just be underpowered forever?

This is true in some ways, depending on how the group is and how much your DM houserules. Honestly, pick any class and just try to have fun with it, don't do anything retarded like playing a fighter with a low strength to roleplay weakness and all that poo poo. Have fun.


Don't play a bard though.

I think the problem here is that 'the proper setting' involves either robbing casters of their powers or creating a game world where Craft (Pottery) is as important as exploding poo poo with magical lightning.

Then prohibiting casting classes from learning Craft (Pottery).

If you didn't take skill focus (basket weaving) then you're just a punk bitch.

or the fact that disabling a caster is easier than any other class

Yeah that's not true at all. Just make a fighter roll one goddamn will save.

and in contrast most 4e art seems to be 'stand around, occasionally blast a dude or cast a cool spell, not really move much'

Reading this thread makes me want to join the local Pathfinder game and roll up a Summoner. It sounds like a lot of fun.

Hahaha, what the poo poo is this?



The googly eyes really make this. Great stuff. I will say this about Pathfinder: the majority of art I've seen is quality.

The "big six" items come from here, and are

* Magic weapon
* Magic armor & shield
* Ring of protection
* Cloak of resistance
* Amulet of natural armor
* Ability-score boosters

Basically, stuff that almost everyone gets but is boring.

I don't see Ring of Invisibility or Boots of Spiderclimb, list sucks :colbert:

How much does a wand of cure minor wounds with infinite charges cost?

E: I'm serious I remember when we played 3.5 my player asked me if he could buy one because we didn't have a cleric and I never figured out the cost.

I'm not sure if there is a generic 3.5 thread, so I'll just post what I'm selling here:
