-Good. I'll have the other thread closed (or moved, depends on the VCL), since 85% of that thread became extraneous, and that 15% that wasn't is here now.
Sounds good.
I should be putting in the information on Halflings, Humans, and Planetouched soon.
Nothing to add but my thanks at the moment. Good job, Diffan!
Thanks.
Now, I could add further races such as Genasi, but for the time being I think they're pretty good as-is. In cases where they would gain a bonus or penalties to certain changed skills, I'll list the original skill and what it's now listed as.
Balance = Acrobatics
Concentration = Spellcraft
Decipher Script = Linguistics
Forgery = Linguistics
Gather Information = Diplomacy
Hide = Stealth
Jump = Acrobatics
Listen = Perception
Move Silently = Stealth
Open Lock = Disable Device
Search = Perception
Speak Languages = Linguistics
Spot = Perception
Tumble = Acrobatics
Use Rope = N/A (no longer available)
For my games though, i'm going to merge Climb and Swim into Athletics.
I think the new "standard to +0 LA" is now higher, but not as high as how was +1 LA. That may cause that some powerful races might have their LAs a bit lower. It's not easy to set, but maybe considering dropping by one actual LAs might be a good idea.
What do you think?
For my games though, i'm going to merge Climb and Swim into Athletics.
I also thought this, but I think that, if that is used, Jump would be better set in Athletics rather than Acrobatics (Jump is, as Climb and Swim, based in Str, while Acrobatics is Dex).
I thank you for this, Diffan, though I think you missed something: Level Adjustments.

What do you think?
Although I can see the Drow's LA being reduced to +1, not planetouched. Their Outsider type makes them immune to alot of low-mid level spells (sleep, hold person, etc) but if you want to make them a Humanoid (outsider) then those spells would work as well as the planar spells like dismissal and it would negate the +1 adjustment. For races such as the Svirfneblin though, maybe a +2 adjustment rather than a +3 would be fine IMO. For the Duergar, they receive some pretty nice SLAs for their +2 adjustment, so i'm still on the fence about them.
I also thought this, but I think that, if that is used, Jump would be better set in Athletics rather than Acrobatics (Jump is, as Climb and Swim, based in Str, while Acrobatics is Dex).
Yea, I thought the same thing but now I think i'm just going to keep the skills they have as they are for now. Though if a class has Jump originally but not Balance or Tumble, they're still going to receive the Acrobatics skill. And of course I'm getting rid of the skill Fly. It's a pretty stupid idea if you ask me.
And of course I'm getting rid of the skill Fly. It's a pretty stupid idea if you ask me.
Though I think that the idea of making skill checks to maneuver while in the air is a good one, I also find silly to dedicate one skill to fly. I may think to use Acrobatics instead and lowering the DCs a bit so, as a cross-class skill for arcanists who can fly (sorcerers and wizards), they may do quite as well with no great training.

There were rules about flying in 3.5. You had to spend much of the round moving so you wouldn't drop like a stone and there were rules for ascending and decending and how many feet it took either to accomplish, etc. Also, take the spell Fly. I'm not sure if the spell makes you follow the rules for flying or if you have powers akin to Superman?
And as a side note, Pathfinder rules do away with cross-class skills per se. Considering that you can now only put a number of ranks into a skill equal to your total HD, I don't see how you can have a max cross-class skill. If you put a rank into a Class skill you then receive a +3 bonus to the skill and for all other non-class skills that you put ranks into, you don't receive a bonus.
With the way skills work in Pathfinder, I've come to a problem. I made a Scout using their rules and started at 1st level with 40 skill points. Thing is, I only really wanted to put ranks into about 20 skills (4 of which weren't even in my class list). So I still had 20 skill points left over. What I did was allow those skill points to roll over onto the next level and go from there. Pretty easy solution for those classes who get TONS of skill points at 1st level!
-Sounds like a reasonable fix. The 'potential' for learning is still there, it just manifests itself at a later point.
Exactly. And classes that have 15-20 class skills receive 8 + Int per level so those extra points from the level before help fill in the rest. Now, whether or not putting ranks into a non-class skill costs 2 points, I don't know. It doesn't list that in the Campaign guide and I would think after the total over-haul of the base classes, feats, and skill changes, it would've been mentinoned. I should probably go to the Paizo boards and see if they have discussed this there.
So, moving this threat back to a FR view point......
First I'm going to list the Domains listed in the Pathfinder Campaign and then, the Gods associated with them (via Player's Guide to Faerun).
Air- Aerdrie Faenya, Akadi, Auril, Set, Shaundakul, Sheela, Peryroyl, Valkur.
Animal- Aerdrie Faenya, Baervan Wildwanderer, Chauntea, Fenmarel Mestarine, Gwaeron Windstrom, Lurue, Malar, Mielikki, Nobanion, Sebek, Shiallia, Silvanus, Thard Harr, Ulutiu, Uthgar
Artifice- Callarduran Smoothhands, Dugmaren Brightmantle, Dumathoin, Flandal Steelskin, Garl Glittergold, Geb, Gond, Laduguer, Moradin, Thoth.
Chaos- Aerdrie Faenya, Angharradh, Anhur, Bahgtru, Besheba, Corellon Larethian, Cyirc, Deep Sashelas, Dugmaren, Brightmantle, Eilistraee, Erevan Ilesere, Fenmarel Mestarine, Finder Wyvernspur, Garagos, Ghaunadaur, Gruumsh, Haela Brightaxe, Hanali Celanil, Kiaransalee, Labelas Enoreth, Lliira, Lolth, Lurue, Malar, Nephthys, Rillifane Rallathil, Sehanine Moonbow, Selune, Selvetarm, Sharess, Shargaas, Sharindlar, Shaundakul, Shevarash, Solonor Thelandira, Sune, Talona, Talos, Tempus, Thard Harr, Tymora, Umberlee, Urdlen, Ultgar, Valkur, Vhaeraun.
Charm- Eilistraee, Finder Wyvernspur, Gargauth, Hanali Celanil, Milil, Oghma, Sharess, Sharindlar, Sheela Peryroyl, Sune.
Those are for now, i'll be back later.
Shouldn't Sun Elves get something to balance out Arrogant?
Nope, as well as Wild elves won't gain anything to balance out Aloof. It's to add more flavour for FR races than the standard stuff given to us by the Pathfinder Campaign.
I made a Scout using their rules and started at 1st level with 40 skill points.
It is not possible to get 40 points at 1st level. You no longer get the X 4 modifier at 1st level.
You just get class points + Intelligence modifier + (if you choose favored class) + (human bonus).

wow, your right. I don't know how I could've missed that. Well, based on that information, I don't think player's will have a problem with too many skill points. Thanks for pointing that out AskaniPsion.
So Domains......
Well, the domains that are named as those that originally appeared in the PH and the PGtF should be granted to the same deities.
Summarizing, the domains that need to be assigned are:
Artifice
Community
Glory
Liberation
Madness
Weather
Unless we wanted to consider the new changes of 4E .
Well, the domains that are named as those that originally appeared in the PH and the PGtF should be granted to the same deities.
-Right. If Pathfinder is backwards compatible (mostly), then we just need to assign any new domains to deities.
-Right. If Pathfinder is backwards compatible (mostly), then we just need to assign any new domains to deities.
There-in lies the problem. See, Pathfinder changed how domains work. The cleric class no longer receives domains spells. In exchanged, they receive certain powers and spell like abilities as they gain higher in level. For example-

Now, I guess with this formula you could re-create FR domains such as Balance, Cavern, Cold, Drow, Dwarf, Elf, etc. but it'll take some play testing or messing around with.
-Ah, yes, that's right. Well, that doesn't mean that we have to reassign deities to domains, but that for domains that don't exist, we need to make up mechanical reflections. No need to reinvent the wheel.

We just tried out the Pathfinder rules with my 3.5 group yesterday. At first the players complained they had to learn new rules and didn't get as many skill points at 1st level......until I explained there were no longer cross class skills and you could take any skill you wanted....then they cheered!! :D
The druid in the party loved that he could now take an elemental domain as an option....he was thrilled and loved using it throughout the night.
Everyone was happy with the Pathfinder changes which we are now calling "3.7".
Now, I guess with this formula you could re-create FR domains such as Balance, Cavern, Cold, Drow, Dwarf, Elf, etc. but it'll take some play testing or messing around with.
Well, I see that, apart from assigning those domains who weren't assigned to FR deities, we'll have to create those who were in the PGtF and not on Pathfinder. These are:
Balance
Cavern
Cold
Craft (proposal: use Artifice instead?)
Drow
Elf
Family (proposal: use Community instead?)
Fate
Gnome
Halfling
Hatred
Illusion
Mentalism
Metal
Moon
Ocean
Orc
Planning
Portal
Renewal
Retribution
Scalykind
Slime
Spell
Spider
Storm
Suffering
Time
Trade
Tyranny
Undeath
Watery Death
I have to admit it is a long list. Let's see what we can do!
EDIT - Proposal: Assign as the 1st level ability the granted power. Choose six spells from the spell list and assign them as spell-like abilities. It's not very elegant, but until we make something...

I have to admit it is a long list. Let's see what we can do!
EDIT - Proposal: Assign as the 1st level ability the granted power. Choose six spells from the spell list and assign them as spell-like abilities. It's not very elegant, but until we make something...
Dragonlance Nexus has posted some of these domains for their Pathfinder Dragonlance. They can be found here.
-I deleted my Pathfinder download, being as that I just wanted to look at the Monk. Now, if I am remembering correctly, isn't the difference to Clerics and Domains very minor, like that they cast their Domain spells as a Spell-like ability once per day?
They receive a special touch power at first level. Afterwards, as they gain levels in the Cleric class, they receive bonus spell-like abilities and another special power at 8th level. Keep in mind that if you Prestige Class out of cleric at say, 5th level, you won't receive additional domain powers beyond that (though your powers increase for your earlier SLAs and Power because it's based off your caster level). I think it's designed for more incentive to stay in the class for more than 5 or 6 levels, something they've done to most of the base classes.

Good looks.
Planning Domain
Deity: Gond, Helm, Ilneval, Red Knight, Siamorphe, Ubtao
They receive a special touch power at first level. Afterwards, as they gain levels in the Cleric class, they receive bonus spell-like abilities and another special power at 8th level.
-So, a touch ability at 1st and 8th, and a regular ability at 2nd, 4th, 12th, 16th, and 20th, judging by your examples above. Gotcha. So, it'd be something like this:
Elf Domain
Deity: The Seldarine
12th- [i]Find The Path[/i] You can cast [i]Find The Path[/i] 1/day.
I remember that they have some "difficulties" with find the path (even they cite how ironic would be to not have find the path in a game called Pathfinder). We'll have to look what they finally do with this, although I think it's a good ability for the elf domain.

Deathless Domain
(Note: I have a house rule where rebuking undead in Pathfinder's Channel Energy causes an "awe" condition unless your cleric has more than twice the HD of the undead he's rebuking; only then are undead normally "awed" commanded instead. Also, I never liked the spirit steed bonus spell on the Deathless list. It seems this was done before it was decided that the Valenar's "Keepers of the Past" religion was different from the Aerenal's. Its a less straight up conversion than the one above, but here it is...)
Deity: The Undying Court.
Cleric Level Ability

You cannot use this ability more than once in a 24 hour period.

Level Adjustment: +1.
Also I don't like so many abilities with the aasimar and the tiefling. I think this is a good opportunity to get rid of their +1 LA. The same is true for the forest gnome.
On a side note, I'd make the favored classes of the wild elf to be Sorcerer or Ranger, or maybe Sorcerer or Druid. I find the decision of the 3rd Edition Wild Elf favored class of Sorcerer to be a good one, that makes them wild and arcane at the same time.
I don't completely agree with these example races, Ianten. I think Sun Elves have too much ability modifiers, and that the standard Pathfinder's elf +2 Dex, +2 Int, -2 Con is enough (Sun and Moon elves don't need to have different ability mods, though they can have different racial traits).
In my campaigns, I like to keep things simple. Races with LOTS of ability adjustments are more of a hinderance than a boon if you ask me. Also, races with more than 1 negative ability adjustment just doesn't appeal to me at all.

I've always made my Tieflings and Aasimars Humanoids with outsider subtype to get rid of that stinking +1 LA and a -2 to Con is hard to swallow. They're favored class Paladin and pallys NEED their Con. Tiefling's -2 Cha really hurts espically when one of their favored classes is Warlock, which derives most of it's class powers from Charisma. Everything else, I don't really see a problem with though (again, changing outsider to humanoid to get rid of the +1 LA). In reference to the Forest gnome, considering i've never played one, or even really read the stats on one, i still hate to see level adjustments.

On the original post, their favored classes were Druid or Ranger. Would it be more appropriate me to change it to say Druid or Sorcerer?

I don't think that because they are Outsiders (native) it's automatically needed a +1 LA, if you take away some other abilities compared to the +0 LA races from the Pathfinder book, you can low their LA still maintaining their original type and subtype. Of course, do they really need to be outsiders? That's another question.

I already read it in you original post, but I posted it now for no special reason, just causality. Regarding the decision, it's just a matter of preference, I think Sorcerer is a good favored class for Wild Elves, but if you or someone else argues another option with better arguments, I would gladly accept it.

Taking away the Outsider type was the idea given in the back of the Player's Guide to Faerun. Because many spells (espically at low levels) deal with humanoids, they are immune to such things and that's a big help. Also, other aspects of their racial abilities....fit (for lack of a better word) with the general theme of the race IMO and changing their type is an unnoticeable, but fairly large way to reduce the +1 LA.

The reason I liked the Druid and Ranger favored classes is because I always felt Wild elves reverted to the primal elements, ie. nature magic. While a sorcerers power is innate, for me, I've think the wild elves have repulsed the idea of arcane magic in favor of the elements of the wild and nature itself. I know it's sad, but I link them to the Night Elves of Warcraft. It just works for me.

I think your arguments are good. The only thing I think it must be done is to reduce their LA.

Well, if this arcane repulsion cannot be canonically proved, then the best thing is to consider both ideas, and making Sorcerer or Druid their favored class can make everyone happy. If you like to use them more primal, choose druid, if you want them to use arcane magic, choose sorcerer.
And I repeat:

I cannot disprove that wild elves refuse arcane magic, though it's just what I do in my campaigns. Being a wild elf sorcerer does give elements of innate magical abilities and I could see them using it, though the reason I suggested Druid and Ranger was to give some diversity between class types (spellcaster and melee/ranged warrior) vs. (spellcaster and spellcaster).
Something else that I noticed while going through the Pathfinder rules. The lack of Greater Turning. Because turning/rebuking has changed significantly into channeling, undead just take damage and flee rather than just flee. So to make a suggestion as to how Greater Turning might work, you could increase the die to which you channel. For example, you could take the Disciple of the Sun feat (Complete Divine), spend 2 channel attempts to produce a Greater Channeling effect, making the d6's into d8's. Does that sound balanced? Taking suggestions.

I like the Aasimar except for the +2 Str, -2 Con, but that's just me.
I agree it is a bit odd but the old TSR stats of an Aasimar state that an Aasimar's normal racial ability bonuses are Str +2 and Wis +2 with a Con -2 and you can even add a Cha +2 in there is you sacrifice the Aasimar's half damage from fire and cold ability.
Still, having a bonus to Strength while having a penalty to Constitution doesn't seem right does it? Maybe the Aasimar's body is strong but can't sustain long periods of endurance due to the strain it puts on the body (or it could be due to the mixing of Human and Celestial blood).
How are those new versions of Ianten and Saria coming? ^_^

I think the Aasimar's body is probably about as strong and tough as any humans, hence no -2 Con or +2 Str. Again, different strokes for different folks.
How are those new versions of Ianten and Saria coming? ^_^
I'm going to start on Saria tonight at work.
Below is my Pathfinder conversion of the PH2's Knight base class. It doesn't differ very much at all from the original except for skills and some ability re-wording.
Knight
Show
Hit Die: d12
Alignment: Any Lawful
Starting Gold: 6d10x4
Starting Age: Same as Paladin
Class Skills (2 + Int per level) Climb, Craft, Diplomacy, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Knowledge (nobility), Ride, Swim.
Base Attack Bonus- Good (same as fighter)
Base Saving Throws- Fortitude (poor), Reflex (poor), Will (good) (same saving throw progression as wizard).
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Knights are proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with all armor and shields (including tower shields).
Knight's Challenge: A knight can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 1/2 his class level + his Charisma modifier. As a knight gains levels, he gains a number of options to use in conjunction with this ability:
Fighting Challenge (Ex): As a swift action, a knight can issue a challenge against a single opponent. The target of this ability must have an Intelligence of 5 or higher. If the target meets the requirements, the knight receives a +1 bonus to attacks, damage, and Will saves against that opponent for a number of rounds equal to 5 + Charisma modifier. If you are capable of issuing a knight's challenge more than once per day, you can use this ability more than once in a single encounter. If your first chosen foe is defeated or flees the area, you can issue a new challenge to a different foe. You cannot switch foes if your original target is still active. At 5th level, the bonus you gain from this ability increases to +2. At 10th level, it rises to +3. At 15th level it rises to +4. At 20th level, it rises to +5.
Test of Mettle (Ex): Starting at 4th level, a knight can shout a challenge to all enemies, calling out for the mightiest among them to face you in combat. Any target of this ability must have an Intelligence score of 5 or higher. You mus have line of sight and line of effect to the targets of this ability. As a swift action, a knight can expend one use of his knight's challenge ability to cause all your enemies within 100 feet to make Will saves (DC 10 + 1/2 your class level + Cha modifier). Creatures that fail this ability are forced to attack you with their melee, ranged, or spell attacks in preference over other available targets. This lasts for a number of rounds equal to 5 + Cha modifier.
An opponent compelled to act in this manner is not thrown into a mindless rage and does not have to move to attack you in melee if doing so would provoke attacks of opportuinity against him. In such a case, he can use ranged attacks against you or attack any opponent he threatens as normal. Creature affected by test of mettle who do not attack the knight receive a -2 penalty to all attacks and damage rolls againts other targets. A knight who is reduced to 0 hp or fewer from oppoents affected by this ability receives one additional use of his Knight's challenge ability for the day.
Call to Battle (Ex): Starting at 8th level, as an immediate action, a knight can expend one use of his knight's challenge ability to grant an ally another save against a fear effect. The target gains a bonus on this save equal to your Charisma bonus. This ability reflects your talent to inspire your allies in the face of a daunting foe.
Daunting Challenge (Ex): Starting at 12th level, as a swift action, a knight can expend one of his knight's challenge ability to issue a daunting challenge. This ability affects all creatures within 100 feet of you that have an Intelligence of 5 or higher. All targets who meet the condition must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 you class level + Cha modifier) or become shaken for a number of round equal to 5 + Charisma modifier.
Bond of Loyalty (Ex): Starting at 16th level, you can expend one use of your knight's challenge ability to make an additional saving throw against a mind-affecting spell or ability. You can use this ability once per round as a free action and can continue to use it even if an opponent is controlling your actions with a mind-affecting spell or ability.
Loyal Beyond Death (Ex): At 20th level, if you are reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by an effect that otherwise leaves your body intact, you can expend one use of your Knight's challenge ability to remain conscious and continue to act for 1 more round before dying. You can use this ability even if your hit point total is -10 or lower. if you body is somehow destroyed before your next action (such as by disintegrate) then you cannot act. You can keep using Knight's challenge to stay alive and if you receive healing that bring you above -10, you survive or fall unconscious as appropriate.
Knight's Code: A Knight does not gain bonuses when flanking, never strikes a flat-footed opponent, and never deals lethal damage to a helpless foe. If he violates this code, he looses one of his knight’s challenges for the day, (if he has none, then he takes a -2 on attack rolls and saves for the rest of the day). For more information on the Code, refer to page 27 of the Player's Handbook II.
Knight's Calling: At 2nd level, you can chose between two callings that lead you further down the path of knighthood:
Cavalier- This path grants you the Mounted Combat feat at 2nd level. At 5th level and every 5 levels afterward you can choose another feat taken from the following list: Animal Affinity, Mounted Archery, Ride-by-Attack, Short HaftPH2, Spirited Charge, Trample, and Weapon Focus (lance). At 7th level, your determination and drive for mounted warfare has given you insights to better controlling your mount. From now on, you reduce any Ride check DC by 5 and your armor check penalty by 2 while mounted. At 11th level, you gain the services of a powerful warhorse (or warpony for small knights). This ability functions just like the Druid's animal companion ability, except that the knight's effective druid level is one-half his knight's level. The knight cannot select from a list of alternative animal companions.
Vigilant Shield- This path grants you the Endurance feat at 2nd level. At 5th level and every 5 levels afterward you can choose another feat taken from the following list: Active Shield Defense, Agile Shield Fighter, Deft Shield, Diehard, Greater Fortitude, Shield Master, Shield Slam, Shield Ward, Two Shield Specialization, and Two-Weapon Fighting. You must still meet any requirements for the feat you select. At 7th level, your stalwart defense has taught you to use your shield more effectively. From now on, you no longer receive an armor check penalty from shields you wield and any ally you are adjacent to may receive a +1 shield bonus to his AC (this bonus stacks with any other shield bonus allies might have). At 11th level, the bonus adjacent allies receive to AC increases to +2 and you gain DR 2/-.
Shield Block (Ex): At 2nd level, during a knight's action he can designate a single opponent as the target of this ability. A knight's shield bonus to AC against that foe increases by 1.This shield bonus increases to +2 at 8th, +3 at 14th level, and +4 at 19th level.
Bullwark of Defense (Ex): At 3rd level, an opponent that begins its turn in your threatened area treats all the squares that you threaten as difficult terrain.
Armor Mastery (Ex): At 4th level, a knight is able to wear his armor like a second skin and ignore the standard speed reduction of medium armor and reduce the armor check penalty for medium armor by 1. At 9th level, you ignore the speed reduction for heavy armor and reduce the armor check penalty for medium and heavy armor by 2.
Vigilant Defender (Ex): Starting at 5th level, if an opponent attempts to use the Acrobatic skill to move through your threatened area or your space without provoking attacks of opportuinity, the Acrobatics check DC to avoid your attack of opportuinity increases by an amout equal to your class level.
Shield Ally (Ex): Starting at 6th level, as an immediate action a knight can opt to absorb part of the damage dealt to an adjacent ally. Each time this ally take damage from a physical attack before your next turn, you can take half this damage on yourself. The target take the other half as normal. A knight can only absorb damage from physical melee and ranged attcks.
Improved Shield Ally (Ex): At 13th level, your ability to absorb damage increases. Once per round you can absorb all the damage from a single attack directed against an adjacent ally. In addition, you continue to absorb half the damage from other physical attacks on an adjacent ally, if you so choose. You must decide whether to use this ability after the attacker determines that an attack has succeeded but before it rolls damage.
Impetuous Endurance (Ex): Starting at 17th level, a knight's fighting spirit enables you to push your body beyond the normal limits of endurance. You no longer automatically fail a saving throw on a roll of 1. You might still fail the save if your result fails to equal or beat the DC.

If the target meets the requirements, the knight receives a +1 bonus to attacks, damage, and Will saves against that opponent for a number of rounds equal to 5 + Charisma modifier. If you are capable of issuing a knight's challenge more than once per day, you can use this ability more than once in a single encounter. If your first chosen foe is defeated or flees the area, you can issue a new challenge to a different foe. You cannot switch foes if your original target is still active. At 5th level, the bonus you gain from this ability increases to +2. At 10th level, it rises to +3. At 15th level it rises to +4. At 20th level, it rises to +5.
Test of Mettle (Ex): Starting at 4th level, a knight can shout a challenge to all enemies, calling out for the mightiest among them to face you in combat. Any target of this ability must have an Intelligence score of 5 or higher. You mus have line of sight and line of effect to the targets of this ability. As a swift action, a knight can expend one use of his knight's challenge ability to cause all your enemies within 100 feet to make Will saves (DC 10 + 1/2 your class level + Cha modifier). Creatures that fail this ability are forced to attack you with their melee, ranged, or spell attacks in preference over other available targets. This lasts for a number of rounds equal to 5 + Cha modifier.
An opponent compelled to act in this manner is not thrown into a mindless rage and does not have to move to attack you in melee if doing so would provoke attacks of opportuinity against him. In such a case, he can use ranged attacks against you or attack any opponent he threatens as normal. Creature affected by test of mettle who do not attack the knight receive a -2 penalty to all attacks and damage rolls againts other targets. A knight who is reduced to 0 hp or fewer from oppoents affected by this ability receives one additional use of his Knight's challenge ability for the day.
Call to Battle (Ex): Starting at 8th level, as an immediate action, a knight can expend one use of his knight's challenge ability to grant an ally another save against a fear effect. The target gains a bonus on this save equal to your Charisma bonus. This ability reflects your talent to inspire your allies in the face of a daunting foe.
Daunting Challenge (Ex): Starting at 12th level, as a swift action, a knight can expend one of his knight's challenge ability to issue a daunting challenge. This ability affects all creatures within 100 feet of you that have an Intelligence of 5 or higher. All targets who meet the condition must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 you class level + Cha modifier) or become shaken for a number of round equal to 5 + Charisma modifier.
Bond of Loyalty (Ex): Starting at 16th level, you can expend one use of your knight's challenge ability to make an additional saving throw against a mind-affecting spell or ability. You can use this ability once per round as a free action and can continue to use it even if an opponent is controlling your actions with a mind-affecting spell or ability.
Loyal Beyond Death (Ex): At 20th level, if you are reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by an effect that otherwise leaves your body intact, you can expend one use of your Knight's challenge ability to remain conscious and continue to act for 1 more round before dying. You can use this ability even if your hit point total is -10 or lower. if you body is somehow destroyed before your next action (such as by disintegrate) then you cannot act. You can keep using Knight's challenge to stay alive and if you receive healing that bring you above -10, you survive or fall unconscious as appropriate.
Knight's Code: A Knight does not gain bonuses when flanking, never strikes a flat-footed opponent, and never deals lethal damage to a helpless foe. If he violates this code, he looses one of his knight’s challenges for the day, (if he has none, then he takes a -2 on attack rolls and saves for the rest of the day). For more information on the Code, refer to page 27 of the Player's Handbook II.
Knight's Calling: At 2nd level, you can chose between two callings that lead you further down the path of knighthood:
Cavalier- This path grants you the Mounted Combat feat at 2nd level. At 5th level and every 5 levels afterward you can choose another feat taken from the following list: Animal Affinity, Mounted Archery, Ride-by-Attack, Short HaftPH2, Spirited Charge, Trample, and Weapon Focus (lance). At 7th level, your determination and drive for mounted warfare has given you insights to better controlling your mount. From now on, you reduce any Ride check DC by 5 and your armor check penalty by 2 while mounted. At 11th level, you gain the services of a powerful warhorse (or warpony for small knights). This ability functions just like the Druid's animal companion ability, except that the knight's effective druid level is one-half his knight's level. The knight cannot select from a list of alternative animal companions.
Vigilant Shield- This path grants you the Endurance feat at 2nd level. At 5th level and every 5 levels afterward you can choose another feat taken from the following list: Active Shield Defense, Agile Shield Fighter, Deft Shield, Diehard, Greater Fortitude, Shield Master, Shield Slam, Shield Ward, Two Shield Specialization, and Two-Weapon Fighting. You must still meet any requirements for the feat you select. At 7th level, your stalwart defense has taught you to use your shield more effectively. From now on, you no longer receive an armor check penalty from shields you wield and any ally you are adjacent to may receive a +1 shield bonus to his AC (this bonus stacks with any other shield bonus allies might have). At 11th level, the bonus adjacent allies receive to AC increases to +2 and you gain DR 2/-.
Shield Block (Ex): At 2nd level, during a knight's action he can designate a single opponent as the target of this ability. A knight's shield bonus to AC against that foe increases by 1.This shield bonus increases to +2 at 8th, +3 at 14th level, and +4 at 19th level.
Bullwark of Defense (Ex): At 3rd level, an opponent that begins its turn in your threatened area treats all the squares that you threaten as difficult terrain.
Armor Mastery (Ex): At 4th level, a knight is able to wear his armor like a second skin and ignore the standard speed reduction of medium armor and reduce the armor check penalty for medium armor by 1. At 9th level, you ignore the speed reduction for heavy armor and reduce the armor check penalty for medium and heavy armor by 2.
Vigilant Defender (Ex): Starting at 5th level, if an opponent attempts to use the Acrobatic skill to move through your threatened area or your space without provoking attacks of opportuinity, the Acrobatics check DC to avoid your attack of opportuinity increases by an amout equal to your class level.
Shield Ally (Ex): Starting at 6th level, as an immediate action a knight can opt to absorb part of the damage dealt to an adjacent ally. Each time this ally take damage from a physical attack before your next turn, you can take half this damage on yourself. The target take the other half as normal. A knight can only absorb damage from physical melee and ranged attcks.
Improved Shield Ally (Ex): At 13th level, your ability to absorb damage increases. Once per round you can absorb all the damage from a single attack directed against an adjacent ally. In addition, you continue to absorb half the damage from other physical attacks on an adjacent ally, if you so choose. You must decide whether to use this ability after the attacker determines that an attack has succeeded but before it rolls damage.
Impetuous Endurance (Ex): Starting at 17th level, a knight's fighting spirit enables you to push your body beyond the normal limits of endurance. You no longer automatically fail a saving throw on a roll of 1. You might still fail the save if your result fails to equal or beat the DC.
What did you change, Diffan, apart from the logical changes on skills? I don't have the books right now and I don't remember specifically what the Knight had, so just a small list of changes would help.
Besides the skill changes..
-Knight's Challenge: Before, a creature had to meet certain requirements for you to challenge them (CR equal to your level -2, Intelligence 5 or greater, and had to have a language). Now, it's just Intelligence requirement.
-Fighting Challenge: You receive a bonus at 5 level intervals instead of at 1st, 7th, 13th, and 19th levels. This gives you an additional +1 and I've changed it so the bonus can stack with others (it's no longer morale).
-Test of Mettle: What i've changed here is that enemies that fail their Will save and attack other opponents besides the Knight take a -2 penalty.
-Call to Battle: Changed it to an immediate action instead of swift.
-Daunting Challenge: In the PH2, it doesn't list how long they are shaken, so I added the "rounds equal to 5 + Cha modifier".
-Shield Block: I changed the levels at which you gain bonuses. Used to be at 2nd, 11th, and 20th levels. Now it's 2nd, 8th, 14th, 19th levels.
-Armor Mastery: I added the ability to reduce the armor check penalty to medium armor by 1 at 4th level and reduce the armor check penalty to medium and heavy armor by 2 at 9th level. This is in addition to ignoring the speed reduction of wearing such armor.
-Bonus Feats: I replaced Animal Affinity with Leadership and added Improved Initiative. I also added that you gained an additional feat at 20th level.
-Improved Shield Ally: Dropped it from level 14 to level 13 to reduce the amount of Dead levels.
Everything else I've kept the same. If you were to chart out the progression, you would have 3 dead levels (level 7, 11, 18) instead of just 1 (I know, it sucks) but it's only because I increased the bonuses.
Everything else I've kept the same. If you were to chart out the progression, you would have 4 dead levels instead of just 1 (I know, it sucks) but it's only because I increased the bonuses.
Could you make Improved Shield Ally at a lower level then than 14th (aka filling a lower dead level)?
Could you make Improved Shield Ally at a lower level then than 14th (aka filling a lower dead level)?
Well as of now, the dead levels are 7th, 11th, 13th, and 18th. I could drop Improved Shield Ally by 1 level (to level 13) to reduce the number of dead levels or I could drop it further to level 11. Though for what the ability does (absorbing ALL types of damage from an ally), dropping it to level 13 seems more likely. How's that sound?
-Bonus Feats: I replaced Animal Affinity with Leadership and added Improved Initiative. I also added that you gained an additional feat at 20th level.
One thing I like about the new Pathfinder classes is that some abilities "that may be other ones" are given different options. Maybe, all bonus feats from the class may be chosen from a list. That also would include the Mounted Combat "feat slot" from early levels.
I'd suggest a list consisting of Mounted Combat and its successive feats, Leadership and its successive ones, maybe those using a shield, Improved Initiative, Animal Affinity, Skill Focus (Diplomacy), Persuasive... any more suggestions?

Yeah, I see what your saying. The different options would probably have to be centered around which feats your granted. For example, at 2nd level you could go the Cavalier path and gain Mounted Combat as a bonus feat. This would allow you to gain certain bonus feats along the way at 5th, 10th, etc. levels. The other path you could go would be something akin to a stout defender and gain Endurance at 2nd level. Levels afterward would revolve around boosting your AC, keeping you alive longer, and making you more of a wall.
Good idea Valgard.
Good stuff. If you compile all this stuff in a PDF let me know so I can upload it on The Vault. I may be away from D&D at this time but I still have time to help Pathfinder.
Not really sure how to do that. Does it require software other than Adobe Reader 7.0? If not, then I'll see what I can do and put it into a PDF format.
BTW, as much as I find Pathfinder's 3.75v of D&D a breath of fresh air, there are things I don't particularly like about it. For example the skill Fly. Seriously...wtf? Of course I'd never actually use it in my campaigns but I don't see why it would be needed in the first place. Second is their feats. Many of them are really cool, receiving them at every odd level is even better, and dropping the XP requirement to make magical items is great but then they go and "nerf" other feats such as Power Attack. To me it seems like its 2 steps forward and 1 step back. Thank God it's still in "Testing" phase.
As for the knight's 2 paths, I was thinking of calling it Knight's Calling.
At 2nd level, you can choose a more specific path that furthers your knightly ideals. The first is the Cavalier. This path grants you the Mounted Combat feat at 2nd level. At 5th level and every 5 levels afterward you can choose another feat taken from the following list: Animal Affinity, Mounted Archery, Ride-by-Attack, Short HaftPH2, Spirited Charge, Trample, and Weapon Focus (lance). At 7th level, your determination and drive for mounted warfare has given you insights to better controlling your mount. From now on, you reduce any Ride check DC by 5 and your armor check penalty 2 while mounted. At 11th level, you gain the services of a powerful warhorse (or warpony for small knights). This ability functions just like the Druid's animal companion ability, except that the knight's effective druid level is one-half his knight's level. The knight cannot select from a list of alternative animal companions.
How's that look? It takes up the dead levels at 7th and 11th plus it's more incentive to stay in the class longer. I'll still have to come up with the other Knight's Calling path and I'm not going to add this to the class write-up until I get some feed back (positive or negative).
Not really sure how to do that. Does it require software other than Adobe Reader 7.0? If not, then I'll see what I can do and put it into a PDF format.
A PDF writer is needed. There are some freeware on the Internet, such as CutePDF or PrimoPDF. Then, the only thing needed is a way to print it, such as Word itself. I can see what's to be done, though I don't know how to upload files to the net.
Also, I recall a thread by LK to recreate the Warlock using Pathfinder rules. If someone is so kind to find it and post a link in this thread that would be very appreciated.

From what I saw in the Paizo forums, this skill is not very popular, and I agree with that, though I think it was a well intended idea. On the other side, I don't personally see those feat rewrites to be particularly a step back. I like the new Cleave feat.

I like those suggestions. These flavorful options for characters may be quite funny to develop in a game.

11th actually works better for me dude. Is that okay with ya?

Here is info on the Knight's Calling Feat:
Knight’s Calling Feat (Ex): At 2nd level, a knight must select one of two callings to pursue: mounted combat or shield wielding combat. This choice affects the character’s class features but does not restrict his selection of feats gained through normal advancement. He can choose these feats, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites.
If the Knight selects mounted combat, he can choose from the following list whenever he gains a knight’s calling feat:
Animal Affinity, Mounted Combat, Short Haft, Weapon Focus (Lance),
At 5th level, he adds the following feats to his list: Mounted Archery and Ride By-Attack
At 12th level, he adds the following feats to his list: Trample and Spirited Charge
If the knight selects shield wielding combat, he can choose from the following list whenever he gains a knight’s calling feat: Active Shield Defense, Deft Shield, Two Shield Specialization, Two-Weapon Fighting.
At 5th level, he adds the following feats: Agile Shield Fighter and Shield Slam
At 12th level, he adds the following feats to his list: Shield Master and Shield Ward
... At 11th level, you gain the services of a powerful warhorse (or warpony for small knights). This ability functions just like the Druid's animal companion ability, except that the knight's effective druid level is one-half his knight's level. The knight cannot select from a list of alternative animal companions.
I was thinking about this ability you proposed and why couldn't a knight select from a list of alternative companions. What about these creatures? Light Warhorse, Heavy Warhorse, Griffon, Hippogriff, Dragonne... even the possibility of a true dragon of appropriate age category.

Not a bad idea, I just didn't have the time to make the chart for alternative mounts. But at which level is appropriate for say a Griffon, Dragonne, Dragon? In the 3.5 DMG, the Paladin's special mount could be switched out with something more powerful (as per DM's approvial). The creature's CR could be no better than the paladin's level -3. So, for example at 10th level a paladin could change his Heavy Warhorse for a Celestial Dire lion (CR 7). Maybe we can do the same here?
Did anyone compile or use this stuff?
I don't have the means to compile the information into a PDF format, for example. However, I've used the changes I've made and they seem to work just fine. Nothing i've noted became over/under-powerful and it plays just fine. The only thing you'll have to modify is the large list of Domains Green Giant gave us.
Just meant if people used the information or not. Its nice to see people being constructive and not whining about everything for a change. I think that Pathfinder is just as bad that 3e is, but people want to hail it like the messiah, whatever, as long as it keeps them busy/
lol, I wouldn't go as far to say that Pathfinder is the Messiah for D&D. Though, I have to admit that I belive Paizo's rule system to be superior to the traditional 3/3.5 rules and I'm trying to convince my group to use them more often when we're not playing 4e (which, BTW is alot of fun as well).
Anyways, can anyone think of additional conversions I could add to this thread in relation the Pathfinder changes?
Drow, Svirfneblin and the Planetouched - I'll be sure to post my stats for the races in my thread, but I've based them off the "Lesser" race descriptions in the back of the PGtF. It removes the Level Adjustment while still keeping them pretty good to play. I also modified the Star Elf race from Diffan's post since he didn't include their Ghost Touch or Otherworldly qualities.
Climb/Swim/Fly skills - I see the reasoning behind Pathfinder keeping these separate. They are different types of movement (although Burrow is missing, ;)).
