*catches pigskin*

I thought Pathfinder was bigger than DnD now.
Seeing as it's basically just 'Corrected 3.5e'.


On that note, yes, Tabletop Rpgs are a lot more fun when you're in person with the 'beer and pretzels' element.
But if you can't do that; go here.
There's others, but this is the biggest, free-est one.

*throws handegg*

I've always  just considered Pathfinder to be for all practical intents and purposes equivalent to D&D

But can you sell dragons for profit in Pathfinder?

Can't be equivalent to D&D without the ability to sell dragons!

[My Name is Immaterial]

No. They had a Wild Mage prestige class in Complete Arcane, but it sucked.

Huh. Well, from what I can see, they did not shit on Wild Magic in 5e.

How many different effects are on the surge table?

50.

[Flying Dice]

Let's be honest, Pathfinder is basically a set of 3.5e houserules popular enough to publish, but not popular enough to actually win over a majority of players.

Well, that's a lot better than the 3e version, but still falls short of the original table in the 2e Tome of Magic.

Tell me, has the spell Nahal's Reckless Dweomer been reinstated in any form? If so, how does it work in this version?

[My Name is Immaterial]

Yes, in a somewhat watered down form. You could ask your DM to allow an equivalent.
For example:

1st-level Divination

Casting Time: Bonus Action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous

You pluck at the threads of of the Weave and the Weave's vibrations cause random magical effects to manifest. You may roll on the Wild Magic Surge table once.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you may roll an additional time for each slot level above 1st. For every two slot levels above first, you may select an additional effect from the Wild Magic Surge table.

Ah. That's more or less exactly the same as the 3e version, which was by far the single thing that I took the most exception to about the 3e wild mage. The 2e version admittedly was clearly severely overpowered, but this version is the exact opposite; they've taken the spell and removed literally everything except for the casting components and the backlash, leaving no actual spell effect.

I will not be playing 5e.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Just to clarify, what do you mean by "leaving no actual spell effect"?

[Bohandas]

Just to clarify, what do you mean by "leaving no actual spell effect"?

The original spell was similar to Wish, but at a much lower level and with only known spells as available effects; the automatic wild surge was produced as a backlash effect.

Pretty sure they're regarded as a sentient race...
So yes.

[Rex Invictus]

Pathfinder was never bigger than D&D. Generally brand loyalty and popcultural osmosis failure, methinks.

Pathfinder is definitely played more than D&D now.

[citation needed]

Which, incidentally, applies to both statements.

[Tack]

Pathfinder was the top-selling role-playing game in the second quarter of 2011,[9] autumn 2012,[10] spring 2013,[11] and autumn 2013.[12] It replaced Dungeons & Dragons, which had been the best-selling game since 1974.[13]

[Orange Wizard]

Which implies that it was not the best-selling RPG for every quarter other than those four.

[Tack]

Which would imply that DnD is still on top.

[That Wolf]

Im not suprised by how many of us that play D&D but that there are people who havent played it and actualy have negative things to say.
I love getting drunk playing it.
I would suggest the game to all gamers and I think its the best game made to date. How many other games have been inspired. Yeah sure, even if it wasnt invented another would have taken its place. Thats not the point, D&D is legit.

Whos played chainmail?? I have never.
Is it good?
