| Jul 14, 2015 at 19:06 | comment | added | Hey I Can Chan | I'm pretty sure that Pathfinder couldn't (perhaps legally) duplicate D&D 3.5's character creation and advancement scheme. Rules for, for example, cohorts advancing levels and such is just different in Pathfinder and there doesn't appear to be a mechanism for NPCs gaining XP; only PCs seem to have that privilege. (Also, here's some more about animals skills.) | |
| Jul 14, 2015 at 17:12 | comment | added | Please stop being evil | @GreySage Int 2 is high Int for an animal. Besides, it's got ok Wis. And 'how' is you cast Speak with Animals and then you... speak with the animal. I mean, really, it should probably be better at skill selection than you are; it has precious few skill points to spend. The default examples are awful, of course, so maybe not. Also, really, neither Int nor Wis explicitly controls character reasoning; if a PC gets feebleminded they can still try and do some stuff, they've just got a -5 mod and a bunch of perceptual problems. And an animal isn't even prohibited Cha and Int skills or language. | |

| Jul 14, 2015 at 15:57 | comment | added | Please stop being evil | @HeyICanChan Isn't Pathfinder officially backwards compatible with unupdated 3.5 material? Because the 3.5 DMG explicitly says that regular people get XP for killing stuff, which is why the Great City should be full of incompetent level 1 dudes, but the border town in the dangerous wilderness might be level 3 on average. | |
| Jul 14, 2015 at 8:14 | comment | added | Hey I Can Chan | "As player characters overcome challenges, they gain experience points," but, as NPCs overcome challenges, they seemingly don't gain experience points... depending on the reading, anyway. (That is, alternatively, NPCs gain experience points for things other than overcoming challenges or NPCs gain something other than experience points, but these seem less likely.) Pathfinder is just weird sometimes. | |
