Savage Tide: ECL 2 Bazland Stiffpole Dwarf Fighter 1/ Psychic Warrior 1: Journal entry 3

I knew we would find a way out of that terrible island. There were a lot of zombies down there and crabs. The swimming was pretty easy. We also found all that money. Then we got attacked at that animal stuffing place. Now we are going to find out where this dungeon is underneath this place.

Savage Tide: ECL 2 Bazland Stiffpole Dwarf Fighter 1, Psychic Warrior 1: Journal entry 2

     I kind of seen this coming from that shady guy, Shefton Rosk. I believe that he led us in this trap. Now we're stuck in this dungeon killing zombies. We have already killed nine zombies. I think that there has to be a different way out of here. We will find the way out how ever long it takes.

Knowledge Checks for Monster Lore

This is a more user friendly way to do Knowledge checks for monster lore. We'll be using this from now on.

This puts more control in the hands of the player, to decide what information they want to know.

The DC's use the exact same formula as found in Monster Manual IV and Monster Manual V.

The particular kind of Knowledge check remains unchanged, such as Knowledge (arcana) or Knowledge (religion), for example.

The Player chooses which categories to learn from, but the DM determines the specific ones from the chosen category, perhaps randomly determined.

DC 10 + CR: Creature kind and type, as well as commonly known behavior.

DC 15 + CR: Creature kind, type, and subtype, as well as commonly known behavior and any one of the following:

                one resistance substance (but not value, such as a single energy resistance, turn resistance, or spell resistance), or

                one damage reduction substance (but not value), or

                one special quality.

DC 20 + CR: Creature kind, type, and subtype, as well as commonly known behavior and any two of the following:

                all resistance substances (but not values, such as all energy resistances, turn resistance, and spell resistance), or

                all damage reduction substances (but not values), or

                all special qualities, or

                one special attack, or

                one weakness.

DC 25 + CR: Creature kind, type, and subtype, as well as commonly known behavior and any three of the following:

                all resistance substances (but not values, such as all energy resistances, turn resistance, and spell resistance), or

                all damage reduction substances (but not values), or

                all special qualities, or

                all special attacks, or

                all weakness, or

                one immunity.

Savage Tide: ECL: 1 Dwarf Fighter 1: Journal Entry 1

First day out of my house. Kicked out to find a better life, a better job, and a real life; One that I can call my own. I am going to go meet my friend at the bar for a celebration. We both got kicked out of our house at the same time. I don't know about him but I have been looking forward to this day for the last ten years. We got a letter from Lavinia and we are going to go meet her at her house.

DM Entry: Totem Druid

The Totem Druid is an alternative druid class published in Dragon magazine.
I have fully fleshed out this class, as well as added a few more totem animals to choose from.
This class is now available in full format in the Aryathan Jiil Classes and Prestige Classes.pdf on the google drive.

The totem druid has been entirely removed and replaced with the Animal Shaman as found in the Pathfinder Advanced Player's Guide. This can be found online here. You choose an animal when you take the 1st level of the animal shaman, which can be Bat, Bear, Boar, Dragon, Eagle, Lion, Serpent, Shark, or Wolf. So for example, if you want to use the bear, you would look under Bear Shaman.

The Dragon Shaman in that list is not using dragons, instead is using lizards, it should be called the Lizard Shaman and is not related to the Dragon Shaman found in Player's Handbook II in any way.
