I bring a handgun. Did anyone one else? No?
Empty your pockets then... nice and calm like. If the wizard opens his mouth or twitches his finger I will shoot him.
Oh? These are the Society Members I am supposed to be working with?
Please excuse me, we all have our misunderstandings from time to time.

Hmmmm Can I have my stuff back now too?

I'd love to see somebody actually dying to a readied gunshot. I mean, that's maybe 1d8+1 at first level. Maybe a very squishy wizard.
My readied gunshot is 2d12+30. Granted, that's at 9th level.
At 1st-level, a readied gunshot would have been 1d12+6
Neither are particularly deadly for their respective levels, but neither are greataxes.

Yeah, that's not going to do it.

How? PBS and Deadly Aim(I left this out of my example damage because most won't have it by level 1) take it to dx+3, but what's the rest? Mysterious Stranger?

Of course, the Mysterious Stranger deed is a swift action, which precludes it's use with a readied action.
You can still perform swift actions before you ready an action. :)
Move: Draw the gun.
Swift: spend a grit point.
Free: say, "The thing you gotta ask yourself..."
Standard: ready an attack if the punk so much as twitches.

Still doesn't work.
The ready action lets you prepare to take an action later, after your turn is over but before your next one has begun.
At 1st level, as a swift action, the mysterious stranger can spend 1 grit point to gain a bonus on all firearm damage rolls equal to her Charisma modifier (minimum 1) with all firearm attacks she makes until the end of her turn.

I bring a chainsaw, and my appetite, for Justice!
Ok, ok, you got me. Not justice. But I do have a healthy appetite, and anything that tries to hurt my party winds up on the menu. Might I recommend the div? Or perhaps the Naga? The bulette is particularly good this time of year, well, it's good anytime of the year. Have I ever tried people? Darling, don't ask questions you don't want to know the answers to!

Just remembered a certain dwarven musket master critting on a readied shot.
4d12+80 oh baby yeah
It was like poetry. Beautiful.
What? How?
Better question, why? That doesn't sound very fun for anyone.
Calling gunslingers badwrongfun? Pssh, that is so 2013. The question you should be asking is "Why Not?"

Nice shot..
Try 15d10+64?
It was an epically nice shot.. Turned two fully unharmed Aspis Agents into pink mist

It was off a crit, so insanity is to be expected
+20 static mod to damage,
+2 good hope/bard song
+4 weapon
+8 dex
+6 deadly aim
or something thereabouts.

No, literally my highest level Pathfinder Society character is a gunslinger. I don't think they're bad, I happen to love the class, and technology based characters specifically.
I just don't find it fun when all the 'challenges' are instantly shredded. No matter what class.
Meh.

One round combats are so 4715. Today, we use our enemies to fight our enemies, that way we get a two-fer, and who doesn't love a two-fer. And, for the next twenty-four hours, I will be holding a special on twofers. Undead Mitch, since we are in Absalom and not Kaer Maga, I am not sure it is legal to get you "companionship"... Are you willing to take a little trip down to Geb?
I like to think I always make the table better. And more fun. I also know to describe myself as an "entrepreneur" at certain tables that need a G rating instead of PG-13. And who doesn't love a pretty bird like Sappho?

Left for Geb
Scenario 7-XXX ; Tier 7-11
Pathfinders, [REDACTED] is back from the grave and needs some companionship. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to escort our special envoy "Luscious" Lucius Vizinni to Mechitar, assist him in securing a suitable "representative" from Geb and see them both safely back to Absalom. Paladins and Pharasmins need not apply.

One cool thing about PbP is others can answer this question for me :)
Evigail really surprised me a few times. My first impression was that his build was really underpowered, but after a few shots from that blast, it's actually very funny and effective.
And a local character once asked me to blast him, knowing the 5 ft. move gave him an open charge lane.
I live for Seaweed's day job posts.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Seaweed sorts some reports back in Absalom. They get filed into the appropriate files places after duplicates are sent to the records office, and the triplicates get sent to the quartermaster. A dozen meetings later, (no one even brought coffee to the first three!), the cleric heads home.

thread Necro - been about a year for this one...
But again, the boards seem to be really negative lately. Everyone being real negative and sometimes it even seems they are being a bit hateful. Perhaps it's just me...
So, I just wanted to float a "nice thread" to the top of the boards. This one has lots of nice things going for it. It's fun to read... there's some really great things said here - esp. post from redward (#51)....IMHO
SO to paraphrase the title of this, "How does your character make the game more fun for the other people at the table with you?"
Thanks!
Me? I let my friends see thru smoke/fog/etc. so we can see the badguys when they can't see us...
I really enjoy the look on the rogue's face when I set up a really great combo for him. He gets to roll all these dice, and thinks it was all his doing.

"Well, New Friends, I make things fun for other people by making silly statements, screaming in an exaggerated manner at bad guys, and by making the best cornbread in Absalom! Oh and it's nice to see the look on people's faces when they see Stuffing, my favoritest familiar friend."
Corona pauses for a moment and thinks.
"Oh...and I suppose I'm useful enough in a fight. Sometimes my arms and legs don't want to work very well and it's always at the worst times but I can mend wounds and alter the flow of time to help my New Friends and hinder our enemies," she adds. "I guess that's a pretty big deal too."

I bring tea. All missions go better when you have discussed the briefing over a friendly cup of tea,
Well thank you! I'll have to splash (glug) a little drop of medicine (glug) in mine though... just for the rheumatism in these old bones (glug) you know. Auntie will just settle back here with my knitting while you young folks get on with your mission...
