You have received a mission from Sheila Heidmarch; she made no mention of hostiles. It's at that point you realize you are going to die.
"Yes, Sheila Heidmarch said we were just here to deliver a note and shouldn't expect hostilities. That's why we've arrived fully clad in armor and with our swords drawn."

Another direct in-character quote, this one from my own dwarf:
"Aye, Sheila Heidmarch sent us here just to deliver thi--... now how in' tha' blue hell did the cleric get blown up? Wait, there's a what what behind me!? I'm gittin' too old fer this."

...the highest mental stat at the table is a 10 in wisdom from a barbarian.
...in a subtier 3-4, the highest hit point total is from the 6 archer, at 40. Which a wave of enemies are capable of one rounding.

When you are playing King of the Storval Stairs, and your Oracle 3/Sorcerer 1/Bard 2/Paladin 2 is the closest thing to a healer available. He doesn't even have a 2nd level spell slot yet! However, he can use those wands of CMW and Infernal Healing.
When your OSBP also has the highest AC (27) in the party (well, maybe second highest).
When the Wizard 11 has an AC of 10, and refuses to use Mage Armor because it is beneath him.
** spoiler omitted **
If you ever play in a game where it is advertised by the Store Liaison on the forums, and I quote:
(part of the deal I have to play this because Andrew wants to kill me)
LOL.
*whistles*
Hey, only ONE person died, and it wasn't even the person I was after. ;)

You know you're in trouble when you get to the table and...... no one is wearing pants.
considering I game with my fiancé and several of my best friends' wives, this would be awkward!
... or awesome.

No, no andorans at the table. The resident Andorans were GMing that day.Which makes it even better. Everytime Dominus has to explain that Waman is a slave sanctioned by the society, one or two of the usual Andoran players grudgingly nod along. ^_^
I have a character who is a slave (property of the Silver Crusade) - the back story is complicated - actually I think after Confirmation I decided she was freed, she is just not bright enough to remember it after being a slave for 150 years [a property of Pathfinder Society collar and everything). So far I've only played with one self-admitted Andoran.

to go on the topic
- "So there are five of us on this year 4 mod...."
- "I don't have a magic weapon" says all of the melee characters - this was for a 7-8 tier game
- "I don't have a missile weapon" - so many times at so many levels - (this is so common, if I have a character without a carry weight problem you'll see a cold iron chakram or two - even if he can' use it, well.
- When the bonded mount has the highest Int at the table.

Is that because it only seems to be used on creatures that get stronger from it? ;)...the GM goes "what's a young template do again?" during Fortress of the NailLooking up the Young template is bad news no matter what you're playing. *winces*Pretty much.
"Oh man this creature could squash a party in 2 rounds!"
"Uhoh...throw a young template on that thing."
"Oh good, we got it up to 3 rounds of survival. Sounds good to us! Publish it!"
Like a gelatinous cube? :)

Your DM announces the new campaign is based on Ponyfinder, the My Little Pony RPG for Pathfinder.
Seriously... be afraid ... be very afraid - because Ponyfinder actually really exists....

That's when I take away their mancard (if male) and remove myself from the premises. ... Forever.

You are playing a 7-11, the Succubus just cast her Dominate, and the target is the plate armored, tower shield using, high Con Fighter who dump-stated Wisdom (+1 Will save, maybe, at level 8)
His feats all made him the target of most of the attacks against the succubus, and then he pulls out his elemental gems....
And, despite all the advise (everyone else at the table, unanimously, including the GM) about getting a clear spindle Ioun stone and a wayfinder, he spends his money replenishing his elemental gems.

...your Dex-based inquisitor/rogue with Con 12 and Str 13 is the tank and only front-liner in the party. And his primary weapon is a dagger. Which he hasn't been able to afford to agile enchant yet.
...you realize the party APL has been pushed up to high tier despite there being only two characters who are actually in that tier. (Yep, this one went horribly belly-up.)
...the party receives a hint they might be facing a swarm and three players simultaneously go "crap, I forgot to buy alchemist's fires again".
...the briefing tells you your mission will be taking you to Kyonin.
...the newbie playing the elf wizard/rogue, when asked what his light source is, goes "oh, I have darkvision from the alternate racial trait".

Harsk is designed more as a roleplay character than a viable adventurer. He carries a heavy crossbow and a big Axe. He's really good with the Axe, but his back story says he prefers the crossbow. So at level 7 he's shooting once a round. And he has a crappy badger companion.
Harsk was introduced as an iconic PC in the Curse of the Crimson Throne. The player's guide for that AP included the Crossbow Mastery feat, so those versions of Harsk could actually Rapid Shot the thing starting around level 6. Suboptimal, like Valeros's asymmetrical TWF, but not awful. Problem is, that was 3.5, Crossbow Mastery didn't make it into the PFRPG until the APG, and the PFS versions of the core-class iconics are built with core material only.
(I really wish they'd make an exception to the core only rule for the PFS versions of Harsk and give him Crossbow Mastery and Rapid Shot at level 7 at least. It's not unprecedented, as the PFS versions of Sajan keep his temple sword.)

Uh, this happens all the time where I play. It's never a problem; rather, it's the norm. Having an actual healer is pretty rare, in fact....the phrase "I've got a wand" is said after someone asks "Do we have a healer?"This has happened. In a 7-9 scenario no less. *Shudder*
I agree. in combat healing seems a bit of a waste shoult of HEAL.

Oh, this one reminded me of one I see all of the damned time.
...when you're in a 7-11 and only one character can fly.

My game is called My Little Pathfinder: Adventure is Magic, and it is awesome.

...when your playing 8-9 or 7-11, and the martial characters keep yelling for common, potion capable, buffs from the casters.
Seriously folks! Prot from Evil is a 50gp Potion, Fly is 300! ALL stat boosts are 300 each!
Invest in yo self, before yo best yo self.
Also, don't go knocking MLP, that stuff is hilariously fun!

What? You had 2 in tier? We played Portal of the Sacred Rune with only one person in tier!! (At least most of us were at level 9, so it didn't go too badly).

...the archer keeps asking permission to use Precise Shot.
...one of the players keeps asking the GM to remind him what weapon he (the player) is using. (Those are both the same player)
...you only get 15 feet into the dungeon before you have to go back and sleep to get your spells back. (Spider bite while my Fighter was playing up = Oracle spends all his 2nd-level spells on lesser restoration after the first encounter)

...you show up at your first-ever PFS event, sit down at a table with three other newbies with their first-ever PFS 1st-level characters, and are joined by a first-time GM, who puts you through a 4-5 scenario because he didn't realize that there were such things as "tiers."
