To what end?

All the pc's lives at the table of course. Actually, I was thinking it might be a good tool for the PFS is too hard/easy debate. I'm sure it would only be used responsibly.

Actually it is just a common sense. Except every pizzeria I know explicitly states that their discounts and special offers don't stack :(

305. but when it isn't on the coupon you get in a long argument with the guy that it's not RAW. And you wait for him to give his RAI side.

One GM reroll per star per session.

Why is there a hate against the combination?

Because the roleplaying attempts to justify this combination of two antithetical classes tend to stink to high heaven

Sagacious Lu comes to mind, but then that's just 14th century fiction. Probably not appropriate for a 21st century roleplaying game.

3d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 6) = 12
3d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 5) = 15
3d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 5) = 11
3d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 4) = 9
3d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 6) = 15
3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 6) = 13

Rogue.
Sneak Attack 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The con is that if you memorize one spell of your opposition you are basically a universalist at that spell level for the day. More and you probably chose the wrong opposition school. Of course you could always get scrolls of your favorite opposition spells. And also you can't cast an opposition spell from your bonded item.

Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.(don't just try to sound and act smart)

And ask questions, it's a good learning tool and a good social tool because you can get others to say what it is you would want to say if you could provided they say something smart.

I'd look for a flinch.

If you want to go that route i'd go perception with bonus for each point over up to 5 wherein it would just be obvious.

My rhymes are like the crank and you're the jack in the box.

Accepting the "buff" might not be against the paladin's nature, but as soon as the wizard tries to get the paladin to do something against his nature he's going to get a new save with a +2 bonus. Are the Paladin's saves that bad or was this just a fluke? He should have had a +5 against the charm since it was in combat.

I would prefer a high dexterity some bracers of armor and of course simulacrum and mirror image.

Yeah, we wave your rhymes away like the rest of your flatulence.

Lucky for us my rhymes summon tornados.

I knew it. 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (6) - 3 = 3

Being dead is just delaying your action until someone raises you.

So now it's a standard or move action to remove your weapon from the guy you just impaled? Curse you critical hits!!!!!

Well I think I have my answer. I will allow the spear used as a martial weapon to be a double weapon. I'll say again, because it seems to keep getting missed: martial, not simple. That way it doesn't step on the toes of the quarterstaff.

I am the GM and, as I said previously, this came about because the PCs wanted to use the other side of a spear to bash skeletons. So I am sure they will appreciate this as a house rule.

Yeah, until you tell them they have to pay for both ends individually.

And don't roll a 1 while using the staff feature.

I'm a total sucker when it comes to The Deck.

This is too complicated. I'll stick to selling maps I made without craft or knowledge geography skills.

Why not do it now? Because, I've just become really tempted to just start one for you.

I work in the campaign finance department. Would you care to make a contribution?

3d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 4) = 7

Barbarian it is then. I charge the goblin hoarde with my dagger. 1d20 ⇒ 20

Create a ghost sound on your weapon and play that.

If you're swinging an impressive sword why did you ever put them on in the first place.

And when he gets over the cliff he can summon some monsters and have a picnic while the rest of his party has to climb anyway, but he better cast haste so everyone can eat before the summon ends.

Yeah, they build flaws into all the classes for balance. Like wizards ability to cast haste is balanced by

having to cast it on someone who can use it?

Note to self - sexy pole dancing with long spear won't work for intimidating guards.

I would always encourage players who want to try to roleplay the social rolls (or at least going to the trouble of working out the strategy and execution), and tend to be more forgiving when it doesn't turn out they way they planned. It's simply more fun that way compared to just dicing for it. Even the total failures can add a lot of entertainment to the session.

I remember once a player whose character roped himself to his horse and proceeded with a rousing pre-battle speech about how "not even death will prevent him from reaching the enemy line". It sure impressed the army (and the rest of the players) until with some unlucky rolls the opposing forces found the weak spot in his strategy and killed the horse and left him spending half the battle trying to cut himself free from the mount.

I was hoping you'd say he dragged the mount to the enemy lines.

Using dimension door effectively ends your turn.

After using this spell, you can't take any other actions until your next turn.

Yeah, but he'll ram you and probably fall, or pass through a threatened cube.

But then I wonder if anyone has a feather fall available.

Dimension door and grapple him.

I'm a former math teacher, at the level of 7th grade and up, and I couldn't agree with this statement more. Frankly, making people take anything beyond Algebra I is a bit ridiculous, as that's the highest level of math that most people will really ever need in their life.

I'm a former 7th grader and am happy that the only real choice I had was whether I needed shop/home economics/music.

The best roll play option for a fighter out of combat is probably Dwarf Bowling.

It would be hard to say you're role playing accurately with a 2 for INT and accept feats for level advancement when an animal of the same INT can only learn 5 tricks.

Edit: In fact I would like to see a playable race that has a - INT modifier.(my resources don't show one) If there isn't one that would suggest that a 3 is the minimum INT allowed for even possessing a character class. Where as a 1 is mechanically allowed for all the other stats.

A person with a two charisma would not even get out of bed in the morning. Charisma is your force of personality, your drive to succeed,your spark of creativity, it's not just your likablity. you would with a two charisma, be beyond clinically depressed.

The way I read it you're talking about wisdom, unless of coures you're talking about undead in which case it would represent your unnatural lifeforce.

How annoying would this character be, to everyone involved, after 2 sessions? Why would a party not fire this person and hire someone else?

Why wouldn't they fire a character with the base 2 in any stat? She says she roleplays what she has, so wherever the 2 goes it would be annoying.
