I do not like this idea. It could be abused with ease.

I have not put GM credit on a character for around a year. I found that by taking all the GM credit. My characters were leveling too fast. I would rather enjoy playing them up.

I am the other side of the coin I guess. I enjoy running as much, or more, then I do playing.

As for three star GM's in the area, my lovely wife, Tonya, is less than five games away from her third star.

Congrats to all those who just made another (or their first) star at Conception this year!

Many thanks to everyone for their kind words of congratulations!

Yes, it is all there under Sneak Attack in the PRD. I think I hit up all the high points with Bold. You can not flank with a ranged weapon so it would only be when the target is denied a Dex bonus. Most often when you go before the target in the first round of combat.

Sneak Attack: If a rogue can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.

The rogue's attack deals extra damage anytime her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and increases by 1d6 every two rogue levels thereafter. Should the rogue score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.

With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage (like a sap, whip, or an unarmed strike), a rogue can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual –4 penalty.

The rogue must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment.

Hm, I was under the impression that they were not able to participate in combat or other events at all, not even as a casualty. Is this not correct?

That was what I was always led to believe.

Better question, how many VC's have characters who died at a table you GM'd?

GM'd for three VC's, killed one.

Could you (or anyone) tell me what good first level adventures / modules are? This is where the group is wanting to start and I plan on having them begin to look things over today / tomorrow :)

•5: Mists of Mwangi and 2-11: Penumbral Accords (set in the same museum)

•35: Voice in the void (in the basement of the museum of 5 and 2-11)
•37: Beggar's Pearl
•39: Citadel of Flame

The First Steps mods are also good to start with.
