Hey all,

I sat in with a group on Friday night that I'm going to join, and I was watching the fighter pretty closely. I'll be playing a fighter/monk for the last bit of Rise of the Runelords, and I wanted to make sure I'd be sufficiently different to stand out from his PC.

Anyway, the damage he was rolling was 6d6+22 or 24 with a greatsword, and he's a human, 13th level. The only puzzling thing to me was that he rolled a few crits over the course of the night, and when he did, he rolled 12d6 for damage. This is where I got confused. I have Vital Strike, Improved Vital Strike, and Devastating Strike for my character. This will allow me to roll 6d6 of damage for ONE attack, but the extra dice don't multiply on a crit. I didn't stop play or ask what was going on, and no one seemed to notice or care when he rolled so many dice. I also didn't want to call him out on it, since I didn't want to single him out or put him on the spot, but when I play in a couple weeks, I'll probably ask him and the GM what's up. I just want to make sure I know the rules so I can play the game correctly; I'm not looking to bust anyone's balls.

So, am I missing something? Is there a feat or trait that will allow a 12d6 roll on a crit with a human wielding a greatsword? No one cast enlarge person on him, and it was a medium weapon, so is this possible? Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks.

The Sword - Gods of the Earth

I love me all kinds of metal; black, death, thrash, traditional, melodic, groove. There's not a sub genre I don't like. However, when it comes to fantasy/Frank Frazetta envisioning thoughts, this album just does it for me. Great guitar riffs and fantasy lyrics about George R. R. Martin books and Norse mythology.

What's your favorite? There are plenty of greats to choose from--Dio, Blind Guardian, Cirith Ungol, 3 Inches of Blood, Amon Amarth, the list goes on and on, but what's the one that does it for you? I'm always on the lookout for new bands, especially those that remind me of a dungeon crawl or Hyboria.

Hey everyone--I'm a new Pathfinder player--I've been working on the Beginner Box with my kids as a GM, and will be playing some PFS stuff here real soon. My question is, as an Indy resident, and first time GenCon attendee, how long of a pass should I plan on getting? I'm only about 35 minutes from downtown, and can park for free near the Convention Center due to my job. Is it worth getting the 4-day pass? I've never been before and don't know if I'll get my money's worth out of the 4-day. What should I expect? Thanks for any help.

Hey everyone, I'm a new player looking for a game somewhere around Indy. I live on the east side, but I'm willing to play where I can. I have old-school experience (AD&D 2nd edition), but I have everything I need, and have been reading all my books for a few months now.
I'm 34, so I'm looking for an adult group that's laid-back and willing to put up with a few growing pains. I just ordered the Beginner Box, and my ultimate goal is to learn enough that I can comfortably GM more complex modules for my kids at some point. But I would love to find a group at I can have a lot of fun with. I also have a buddy with NO experience who's interested, if there's room. Thanks for reading!
