25,000gp is 500 lbs of gold, which is 8,000 oz of gold, which means, at the $1,194 per oz current gold price, that 25,000gp is equivalent to 9.55 million dollars.

So that's the cost of a True Res... that's the worth of a life for those who have perished in ways where the body is not really recoverable. This means this is for the rich indeed. And the heroes... well... they better mean something to a well funded cause or temple... ;)

This one sold 10 millions, so you could say that's what you need for True Resurrection. Extremely rare (on Earth, anyway) so you might want to have a house rule that you need 25,000gp worth of diamonds (not a single diamond worth that... ;) )

Except that these prices were set in the early '70s when Gold was $100 an ounce or less.
that's the beauty of gold, or land: their value never change... it's the money's value that changes. One ounce of gold in the 70's is exactly one ounce of gold now.

If you want to compare it to real world pricing, then you need to use the conversion rate when the prices were set, because the game systems haven't taken inflation into account. Plus you can't convert with 16 oz. to the pound, because gold, silver and other precious metals use the Troy weight system, where one normal pound is 14.5833 ounces. Add in the fact that the original D&D gold pieces were 1/10 of a pound.

So when the books were written, 1 gp was worth about $87.50. so a 25,000 gp diamond was worth about 2.2 million dollars. So at $2000 a carat in 1972 prices, the diamond would be about .45 pounds, and rank 3rd or 4th on the list of largest diamonds ever found.

To be fair, if a cat had human intelligence, it could very well murder a human quite easily in their sleep. The only thing that bothers me is that a cat has 3 hit points whereas a rat and a bug (greensting scorpion) have 4 hit points. What's up with that?

I am similarly bemused by the fact that in a fight to the death, a well-played Pathfinder squirrel will probably beat a cat. They both have 3 HP and do 1 damage per hit, and the cat has 3 attacks, so it sounds like it should be easy for the cat - but the squirrel is a size category smaller and has 2 more dex, so winds up at +4 to hit and +4 to AC relative to the cat.

Thus, the squirrel hits on a roll of 6+ while the cat needs a roll of 14+. Still, if they just stood and fought head to head, the cat would still win, on average, because of its three attacks. But wait - the squirrel has Acrobatics +6 while the cat has a CMD of 6. So the squirrel can attack and then tumble away with a guaranteed success every round, denying the cat the ability to make more than one attack per round, at which point the cat is pretty much screwed, even if it won initiative, because it is making 1 attack/round at a 35% to hit, and the squirrel is making 1 attack/round at 75% to hit.

Of course, no rational DM would ever fight a squirrel that way - they would just have it run to the nearest tree and climb-speed away - but it's pretty silly that it is possible.

His suspension was announced Feb 11th, so he was tested prior to that. It also isn't his first suspension, he's a repeat offender. It wasn't even his first suspension in the last 365 days. He also wasn't the only Colt player suspended this year.

Still, my primary point... if you're going to take a moral outrage stance on the under inflated ball purely because it's cheating (regardless of it's actual effect) you better apply your moral outrage to ALL cheating, which includes PEDs.

Since you keep coming up with defenses for the PEDs, you clearly are not applying your moral outrage to ALL cheating, making your moral outrage bereft of any real substance.

Lastly, in an individual sport, such as boxing, cycling (technically there are teams, but teams aren't awarded victories, individuals are), punishing the individual by removing victories makes sense. In team sports, unless the cheating is systemic and organized by the team as a whole, it's more effective to punish individuals. If you punish the team for individual cheating, then when an individual on each team cheats, you HAVE to make the determination of which cheating was more severe. Individual punishments mean you can mete out penalties on a per case basis allowing you to hit both offenders equally hard if necessary.

If you want to make the claim that your moral outrage is without bias, you need to apply it more evenly in your comments. So far, you are not.

Actually he was cut by the Colts on Feb 11, his suspension was announced on Mar 6. http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2015/03/06/former-colt-laron -landry-suspended-10-games-for-ped-violation/24528217/

The NFL, MLB, and other sports have defined penalties for PEDs, and Mr, Landry is learning about them (his next penalty is 2 years, if he ever plays again). I am not making excuses for their use, in fact the penalties are too light. Since I doubt a lifetime ban for a first penalty would fly, I would find acceptable 8 games for the first, 16 games for the second, and out of the league for a third. I also believe that all pro and college sports should test all players regularly.

You must have missed my earlier suggestion that the referee kick the entire offense out of the game. Since the underinflated balls presumably aided them all.

Systemic - 11 of 12 balls seems systemic
Penalty - all of the offensive ball carriers, and anyone else that would be handling the ball should have been kicked out of the game. Or the team forfeit.

Cheating doesn't need to be systemic, it just has to happen once to be punished. Sammy Sosa was caught using a corked once, he was ejected from the game, and suspended for 7 more games. All 76 of his other bats were clean. He said it was a bat he used in batting practice. One equipment violation, and he was ejected and then suspended.

Can you prove that no one on the Colts was cheating?

PED usage is considered cheating. Odds are, someone on every team is using something at some point. I'm not saying that cheating should be tolerated, but rather that punishments should be targeted at offending individuals.

Also, what scale does the cheating have to be for the team to get the loss? Are you suggesting ANY level of cheating? For example, should the league get rid of in game penalties and just go to automatic forfeiture?

Nope can't prove a negative.

You must have missed the part that a Colt player got popped on PED's on Feb 11th of this year. So, we know they can't prove it, because there's proof that it happened.

I can post some numbers for some defensive players if you like, you see it a lot with them. Particularly linebackers who get lots of sacks. If they test positive for PED's and get suspended, often times the next year their numbers drop off dramatically. Two high profile ones that come to mind are Shawn Merriman and Von Miller. Both saw roughly a 30% drop in their sacks and their forced fumbles basically disappeared. Both players were significant pieces of their team's defense, drastically influencing games.

The Seahawks led the league in PED suspensions the past few years. They often drop those players later on, who go to other teams and perform significantly worse.

While not football, we know PED's can greatly improve performance capability, Lance Armstrong being the poster boy.

Dollars to doughnuts, with increased scrutiny on the air pressure in the Brady's footballs, his completion % stays within 3 points this season.

He got "popped" on Feb 11, doesn't prove he was using on Jan 18. (He likely was, but that doesn't prove it.)

Whether the deflated balls gave him an advantage or not, it is still cheating. If I copy wrong answers off a classmate while taking a test, I am still cheating.

Calling Lance Armstrong the poster boy is kind of funny, since as near as I can tell all the pro cyclists cheat, usually by using some sort of PED. (The first Tour de France was in 1903, the first people caught cheating were in 1904.)


I want to see stuff that is UNIQUE to a class.

For example: Fighters use to be the only class that got Weapon Specialization.

Go back to giving classes something special that no other class can get.


I think what people are missing from posts, is that I don't care if it is Patriots, Packers, Steelers, Rams, Seahawks, or if it is Brady, Rogers, Manning (either). Even if it were my favorite team, I would want the NFL to do the same thing.

Nope can't prove a negative.

As for penalties, I suppose that they could have just kicked all the offensive players (minus the guards and tackles) out of the game for the Patriots.

This isn't a case of one player using a PED or stickum, or taping his uniform down, effectively the entire offense of the Patriots were cheating.

Penalties and other forms of cheating have defined punishments (yards, downs, even scoring a TD for the other team can be awarded). Most penalties are only semi-intential or even accidental, but in some cases where it is intentional or flagrant, the player is ejected (and usually fined). In this case the entire offensive team is cheating, so I suppose the refs could have ejected the entire offense.

While the NFL hasn't forfeited a game, MLB has forfeited games for various forms of cheating, including one game where the home team banned one of the umpires from entering the stadium, and others for deliberately delaying the game, or failing to leave the field. (Most MLB forfeits were the fans fault though.)


Why don't you find a wine snob forum and ask there?

Memory may be betraying me but I think the Halfling names for themselves from Tolkein was Kuduk whilst the other races called them halflings or hobbits.

Close. They called themselves Kuduk. Other races called them halfling (in elvish) or Kud-Dukan or if they had business dealings with them, Kuduk. Hobbit is a product of the translation convention Tolkien used, being "modernized" from holbytla (old english translating Kud Dukan, which I think might be proto-Adunaic). They would have called themselves hobbits if proto-Adunaic were old English. Or maybe I'm mixing my mannish and the proto-Rohirrim shared linguistic roots with the people of Haleth rather than that of Beor and Hador that became Adunaic.

TL;DR If you think anything in Tolkuen's languages is relatively simple and comprehensible you're probably wrong. And I am way too much of a geek.

I could say the same thing about humans too, lazy name, and more infectious in a world then the bubonic plague.

That said Catfolk have just as much a right to exist in a world as elves and dwarves. And especially humans.

No, they really don't. They're a lazy anthropomorphism. Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, and the various oriental and Indian races have a mythological basis. If anthropomorphic cats and rats had a mythological basis Paizo would have used the mythological terms like they did for the Indian races that many people don't recognize.

Halflings and Orcs at least predate D&D and halflings can be justified by runaway sexual selection.

It's okay to have modern anthropomorphic races, but they're hardly in the "you can't have a wide market fantasy game without them" territory that humans and elves fall in, nor do they come with the respectability of Asian mythologies.

I'm sure it happens. I doubt it's a significant expense these days. (Unions have cleaned up a lot since the mob days.)

Whom do you expect to investigate the unions? The members of the unions? Bribery and payoffs are they way the system works. The union (or business, or rich citizen, or anyone with a bit of cash) needs something done, they find the person/politician/government official, slip them some cash/campaign donation/booze/whatever and it gets done.

I highly suggest you check out the book http://www.press.uillinois.edu/books/catalog/78ndq5ty9780252078552.html Corrupt Illinois. It's specific to Illinois corruption, but is pretty good for showing how the corrupt system works.

As for the unions cleaning up, two union officials managed to scam themselves 6 figure pensions from the State of Illinois for working 1 day each as a substitute teacher. (That is their only time working for the State.)

In my experience, they spend a lot of time, but not so much money. I mean, the disciplinary meetings are on the employer's dime, not ours. [Details may vary from shop to shop]

Some of those cop unions are AFL/CIO, part of the same unions as the workers.

They spend the money too, hiring their lawyers, setting up press conferences, bribing various people, all sorts of expenses.

It really depends upon whether your players have a brain or not. The group I am in are just starting Book 6, and we did a lot that the AP as written wasn't ready for. Unfortunately we have a new GM, so there was a lot that he wasn't ready for either. Before you start each each book, you need to read it thoroughly and keep in mind what your players do, and what the AP says happens.

We had cases where the AP said this happens at this time to surprise us, but we had thoroughly explored the area, so there shouldn't have been a surprise. (The critter that has been living for years in an area, isn't discovered by the party that explores they area, because it is supposed to surprise the party later.)

A lot of the AP is written as if the players are idiots, and won't do anything to prepare. Other parts are written as if the PCs will automatically do this, even though it is pretty stupid. So you as the GM have to be willing to handle things on the fly.
