Clustered shots would have been nice to have against crazy fey lady at the end of the last campaign.Thugkhtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11890281889378080805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16553938.post-46288607081296441662011-08-10T22:04:46.529-06:002011-08-10T22:04:46.529-06:00Obiri - I did read the variant rules a bit.

Several options, such as Armour as DR, which look interesting on first sight, but which would be impossible to fully incorporate into a game. It seemed like mostly filler to me.<br /><br />Christian - One good thing about Paizo is that they only bring out a couple of these splatbooks a year. Much easier on the bank account than the mountain of new rulebooks put out during the heyday of D&D 3.5.Rognarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16325723561313536356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16553938.post-7655583419318066482011-08-10T21:10:49.524-06:002011-08-10T21:10:49.524-06:00I'm playing Pathfinder right now.

It almost makes me want to play one. The grappler and master of many styles stand out as big winners.<br />I haven't read over the optional systems at the back but most of them have recieved a big thumbs down although Performance looks interesting.<br /><br />The asian style weapons are superior to their western counterparts but not extremely so. Oh yeah - monks get reach weapons - boo yeah!<br /><br />As for feats I think you missed the snap shot line which allows archers to threaten squares because, as you said, they're underpowered.Obirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423387256920495798noreply@blogger.com
