This is something that has always vexed and perplexed me. First off, I love Stone Masters. The possibilities are just so beautiful. And don't get me started on all the things you can do with marbles. But the real question is... Can I cram my emeralds together to make a bigass emerald? That diamond d...

So please follow me along with a few what-ifs. Say we have this godling-esque being. Dragon, godling, some form of supernatural greater being. Wants to play the ol' Zeus knock up a mortal game. If a supernatural being is using Metamorphosis: Human (Superior), is the sperm sacred? I.e. is the zygote ...

Good thing about Changeling psychics. Impervious to Poison and Summon Inner Strength. Also Alter Aura is a good one, even though the aura is close to human/Elf/Dwarf. Think of it as Aura Impersonation. And I was of the belief that it's "a lot" of salt. Like heavily salted stuff, pure salt,...

So this has always been one of my favorite topics to ponder. The never-before-seen Old Ones crafted super-power circle of tortured enjoyment. You know, the one that irrevocably turned you into an Elf that one time? So once you clear out the serpent men, kill their evil toad-creatures, and put the li...

Okay, preface this with I started playing PFRPG, before PPE and all that. I've always been of the school that Orcs can be Warlocks. Not wizards/diabolists/summoners/etc. But that they (the smarter ones, at least) had the capacity to become Warlocks. When did this change? Was there any reason given a...

Step one. Pilfer flagship. Preferably something quite solid and impressive. (think Stone Ship/frigate/whatever) Go for speed. Big and fast. One of those ships that needs superior wave/wind conditions to goooo. Personally I'm partial to Frigates and Corsairs. (and with perfect wind/wave/weather condi...

Well, I've always assumed that E-Clips work like batteries. So I assume that HUDs that tell you how many shots left (or gun side-displays that do the same) are simply calculating how many shots are left based on the charge left in the E-Clip based on the % of energy left in the clip. They likely tr...

This is a bit of a thread hijack, but germaine to the original. And, before anyone flames, I haven't gotten to the Canon section of the rules. With energy weapons, there is often a "per blast/shot" and "per burst (of three, etc.)" listings. I.e. modes of fire. There are also some...

SIAP. Okay, so a Changeling has always been one of my favorite characters. Give me a healthy dose of paranoia, some psionics, and an aversion to salt any day. But the shape change has always seemed a bit incomplete/not fleshed out. From 3-10' tall, no additional limbs (save for a tail), nothing &quo...

I remember in an old PF book (Old Ones I think) where you could use a circle to pop your essence into a diamond, then who ever grabs that diamond gets their essence swapped with yours. Granted it's a wonky circle magic spell, but it is proper palladium approved spell. Smiling_Bandit - Guesses you c...

Some things for any prospective castle tyant. Earth Warlock. Get at least one powerful one. Either Orcish slaves (better be broken), or mercenary, or indentured, or loyal. But they must be dependable. 'cause they're going to be summoning some big bad Elemental beings. Also, they have to have a head ...

I keep on keepin' on with my wax paper and crayons and tracing paper and charcoal, rubbing on the plaza in Credia... But for some reason, I can't decipher the wards. Or are they runes? Damn Mystic Symbology. Almost like hyper-tech lost, these forgotten magicks are. Oh, and, I think I might have let ...

While on the Call Lightning angle.. I always wondered. Can you Call Lightning in an enclosed space? In a dungeon, cave, castle, building, underground? And yeah, I'm not talking something that the lightning could concievably penetrate. I've always wondered if you need "open sky" to Call Lig...

So.. The evil witch that is pledged to evil Devil/Demon Lord whomever is pilliging your countryside. You grab your trusty rune smiter Snookums. Even though Soul Drinking is a bit of an abberrant feature, Snookums happens to drink souls, even though he/she/it is of a good alignment. (as are you) Off ...

Okay. I realize the 2nd edition has been out awhile. And maybe I just didn't go over the Diabolist & Summoner (two of my favorite classes, which I was/am very familiar with from the 1st version), but I noticed something kinda sorta really major. In the revised edition, the Diabolist cannot creat...

Basically, unless you want a whole lot of naked clones (which could always be fun, especially if she was really hot . . . ) you have to have an "armoring" power. I.e. Bio-Armor, Ectoplasmic Armor, or Instant Wardrobe (although I don't like the equal mass in-equal mass out aspect, but hey)...

On a slightly different note. Talisman as a PPE battery. The spell description doesn't give a "size" limit for what is or is not "talismanic." A pin, a coin, your favorite lucky dice, whatever it may be. So say you have a mage with goldsmithing skills. It'd take awhile, but you ...

There are two things that screw up this line of thought. First, if you want to do a base size/land mass calculation, more power to you. But it has next to nothing to do with the mass of the globe the Palladium world is on. The reason? The wall at the edge of the "world." A random dimension...

My little contribution: Multitasking & Speed Tasking : First of all, with Speed Tasking, you get it done in half the time. Now with Multitasking, you get twice as much stuff done in half the time. And to really accelerate the production: Multitasking, Speed Tasking, & Multiple Beings/Selves ...

First off, I was being a little facetious with the original never the super powers-magic-psionics be combined. Just to be a bit silly. Secondly, yeah, it's a sticky point. 'cause if the clone (Beta) is truly identical, it should be fully "powered" (PPE/ISP). After re-reading HU2, I think I...

So I know that super powers and psionics or magic can never be had by the same character. (never cross the beams!) But for this little postualation, let's pretend they do. So you have a mage/multiple beings selves mutant. When Prime breaks off Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon, they have full ISP and/...

Gantrium and Xanthine are in Northern Hinterlands.

First of all, with Astral Transference there is total discorporation of the physical body, i.e. full psionic energy transformation. My question is this, does that allow for a 15 ISP one melee round uber-teleport? Leave the world you're on, in your backyard, transfer to the Astral Plane, and then lea...

I suppose that depends on what version of Total Recall you're working with.

~A

I seem to remember somewhere about this, but for the life of me I can't remember exactly where. Would you think the generic Mind Bond power would work with a ghost? (and other intangible beings) I've always been a big fan of Mind Bond. Both for the complete unbiased knowledge of whom/whatever, but a...

With all the age old books and scrolls and whatnot out there, I've been pondering on ways to rejuvinate old reading materials. You know, the stuff that turns to dust just as you touch it. Thwarting your eternal quest for lost magicks. Considered putting a silver rune on them. But then, how would you...

I don't think it'll happen. But I'd like to see some versions of magic from the Time of a Thousand Magics. Crystal, spell, ward, circle, etc...

Gotta throw in on Demon and/or Devil Slayer. If you encounter a significant amount of the Demon/Devil beasties, it's a significant asset. (Summoner, Summoner-hunting, minions of evil warlords..)

Wait a tick. You chained two Power wards in the string? Can you do that? And if so, how far can I go? 10x Power wards? That seems unbalanced. And I like it. ~A And, fyi, the box in question is out of Arms of Nargash Tor. With Osiris' Tongue inside. If I remember correctly, the box is warded with mul...

Thanks all, for the useful feedback. I suppose it's an aura question. I.e. when someone grabs the box (or a candlestick, or a bowling pin, or the Diabolist's favorite frying pan/jar of jam/etc.), s/he's physically/aurally/psionically/PPE-ically "touching" the item that's warded. How far do...

Alright, so we have this box which is warded with uber-Death. Open it and save, or else. My question is this... Say the box is opened using telekinesis. (and yes, the death ward is infliction, not area effect) Does the ward know who's telekinetically molesting the box?

Thanks,

~A
