I'm a ruleslawyer from 3.5 D&D, but I've since branched out into many other systems. I currently play Pathfinder for the most part.

I believe that the GM's first job should be to know the rules. Games are much more fun when rules are selectively ignored or fudged, but it's important to know the implications of rules changes before making them.

comment Optimal Focused Fighter Builds in Pathfinder
You make some good points. A reach weapon is definitely nice for a THF build. One question, though: How does Lunge give you a 20ft reach? The pfsrd says that Lunge just adds 5 feet to your reach, not doubles it. Also, since you have so many feats, you may consider Monkey Lunge, which gets rid of the -2 AC penalty.

comment How do I balance Elder Scrolls soul gems with the loot progression?
Okay, then how about this: I tie soul value to CR instead of HD, and reduce it to 35 septims as the base cost. That would make the example encounter worth 2240 + 560 + 560 + 560 + 560 = 4480. Since this also means that someone needs to spend five rounds casting spells to get that much out of it, and I'm going for a bit of a high magic campaign, I think that's reasonable. Thanks!

@Yandros Aha. Well spotted, yourself. :)

comment Using the plot point system of Cortex in other systems
+1. I wholeheartedly agree with this. Willpower already serves as a way of making things easier, and adding a 'plot point' function to it wouldn't clash with existing mechanics as much as creating a new currency would.

@Yandros: That's actually not true. Making a reactive Concentration check is a free action, but concentrating on an active spell with a duration of Concentration is a standard action. See the "Concentration" section here: d20srd.org/srd/magicOverview/spellDescriptions.htm#duration
