557: Or a Brush (Old PAD joke)

(aside, 'Flashdancer' sounds like a feat actually for shadowdancers/teleport)
Spoiler:

Flashdancer
You take darkness with you when you shadow jump.
Prerequesite: Shadowjump ability
Benefit When you shadow jump you take the pool of shadow with you. Anyone in an adjacent square must make a fortitude save (DC 10 + Sahdowdancer level + Cha modifier) or be dazzled for one round.

Your previous square is considered brightly lit for one round, after that the shadows return to normal. Unlike most feats, this is a supernatural ability.

565: While not related, Pete's Evil Overlord list should be browsed by everyone at least once. That way, if the GM or Players try to do something that would violate one of the rules in it, the other side can try to exploit it.

566. Unless we are playing an evil campaign, players should not even have the opportunity to break rules on the Evil Overlord list. That's why it's the Evil Overlord list.

567. The fact that violating the Evil Overlord list will make your paladin fall does not mean it is actually good to follow the rules on it.

1 person marked this as a favorite.

629: Even if they are the best at the more interesting positions

Rules from Agartha that Apply to Golorian

641. A bored dragon is a dangerous dragon.
642. Half-Fiends might be using illusions to look human.
643. Slurks are more dangerous than you think.
645. No, you cannot become a dhampir if one bites you.
646. Gardens can be more dangerous than they seem.
647. Fear the mouse.
648. Kobolds are crazy. Do not give them siege weapons.


649. Do not dare the goblin to go attack the ice dragon with a torch. Because he's totally going to do it. And than everyone is going to die.
650. Do not dare the goblin to relief himself on the altar of any deity. Because he's totally going to do it. And then a herald or even avatar shows up. And he's not asking who might be innocent. And then everyone is going to die.
651. In fact, don't dare the goblin anything. Not even harmless stuff. They have a knack of misinterpreting things to be really crazy even if they're not. And then.... you know the rest
652. Clerics of Pharasma are not allowed to say "Kill'em all, let my goddess sort'em out". Pharasma is not going to be happy about the added workload, and might take steps.
653. No matter how much you min-max, your animal companion cannot be head of state.
654. Your hydra-like eidolon cannot be "multiple heads of state". It will not get to add multiples of its charisma modifier to kingdom rolls.
655. Neither will a hydra-like eidolon be able to fill several minister positions.
656. No using divninations worded "Is there any dangerous critter living in *this* hex?" "What about *this* one?" or anything like it to get out of actually exploring it.
657. No teaching the paladin wrong meanings for words in foreign languages to make him use his powers.


653. No matter how much you min-max, your animal companion cannot be head of state.

I disagree :)

Incitatus, Kitty Cat of the Senate.

Let's get the numbering back on track. I blame BigNorseWolf for failing to use a quote for his quote.

666. LE characters cannot sell their souls for extra starting cash.
667. Zon-Kuthon is not "The neighbour of the beast".

673. Using Command to make a foe say "Pazuzu, Pazuzu, Pazuzu" isn't a clever trick unless your goal was for everyone to roll up new characters.


674. "Aroden incognito" is NOT a starting feat or trait. Neither is 'lost heir of Aroden', 'Like that guy in Planescape except Aroden', or 'Aroden's assassin'. So stop it. Really.

675) do not smack Pharasmas rear as you're on you way back due to being resurrected.

680) A character background with no education in morality or right and wrong does not make your character above/outside alignment and therefore have access to a paladin/antipaladin multiclass.
681) Hellknights are not Judge Dredd, as much as they may like to say "I am the Law" to their enemies.
682) Iomedae will not be wooed when you tell her your "sword" requires two hands to wield properly.
683) Colossal creatures are not followed by orchestra's playing the "Shadow of the Colossus" soundtrack, no matter how high you roll on perception.
684) No, Deepmar does not have a contract with Telus, and that isn't why there is no response from there.
685) Not all Nosferatu looking to cure vampirism are played by Ethan Hawke.
686) Not all Moroi are played by Gary Oldman.
689) A vetala, even one that came from a five year old child not being buried properly, is not bound to adhere to a 'pinkie promise'.


690) attending one AA meeting does NOT qualify as atonement.
691) Smite AA is not a boon from Cayden Cailean.
692) You do not get to treat the crab as an evil outsider because you thought is was 'some sort of cave demon.' (even if it did break your knife)
