Knock: 1. A sorcerer/wizard spell that opens doors, and has no material component. 2. A rogue spell that opens doors, and uses masterwork lock picks as the focus component. 3. A barbarian spell that opens doors, and uses an adamantine earthbreaker as the focus component.

Minor correction. If it is not used up, it is a focus.

Boom Stick= any firearm, which must be proceeded by, "This is my..."

Blaster= an arcane caster designed to do as much damage as possible with spells, most often destroying a large area and numerous enemies, as well as the occasional PC.

Dice Monkey= The player who sits next to his best friend. That friend coaches (pushes) them through every aspect of the game... repeating the following phrase, "Don't worry about that, just roll the 20 sided die."

Auto-Pilot= a scenario that appears to drive the characters in a particular direction, no matter how often they really screw it up or try to go off on a tangent.

I've usually seen this described as a railroad. You're not allowed to take the scenario off the tracks, no matter how hard you try.

[Validorn]

Errata| That magical event where changes result in: gutted items having to be sold back, feats being retrained, and whole builds or characters being orphaned/abandoned/forsaken. This is often accompanied with intense debate on the forums of 'why can't we have nice things?' or 'that was so broken and you munchkins know it!' along with much praise for John Compton and campaign management for their understanding and assistance during this difficult time.

"...they'll take evil members and allow PVP." which? the Pathfinders or the A.C.?

[Muser]

Both allow evil members, both frown upon PVP(AVA, agent vs agent).

[Ascalaphus]

Team Rocket: the Aspis Consortium.

My point exactly.

In fact, in watching the boards I would think there is more PVP in the Society than in the Consortium.

[TOZ]

Likely because the Consortium is played by far fewer people than the Society.

Remember, you might be able to cope with the save DCs of a relatively unoptimized NPC, but surviving a tricked out PC's DCs is a whole different story.

[TriOmegaZero]

Those nat 1s have a tricky way of cropping up at the worst time. Like after you already blew your reroll.

I always introduce Kyra as coming out of a closet, a bunch of other Kyra's behind her, and she steps into the room and closes the door on herselves. "Hi, I'm Kyra, I will be the healer for the day and the first one to die..."

Murder Mystery Scenario: 3 hours of banging your head against the wall before a scripted event that you could not have predicted points you at the primary success condition. You then get judged by how hard you banged your head against the wall for a secondary success condition.

[DM Livgin]

Primary Success Condition: If you survive and do what you are told, you will get this.

Secondary Success Condition: A reward to a hidden objective. That hidden object varies wildly but often includes: being a good person, being a jerk, looting everything, not looting everything, killing the dragon, not killing the dragon, Cooperating, Exploring, Reporting.

[DM Livgin]

Outside the scope of the scenario: That place that you're trying to go while getting increasingly blunt hints that you shouldn't.

[DM Livgin]

Knowledge(Religion) : Everyone laughs when you tell them that a skeleton has DR/Bludgeoning. No one laughs when a ghost is possessing the paladin.

[DM Livgin]

Don't Trust the Teleport: If you are getting teleported into a stretch of empty wilderness; don't trust it, the wilderness isn't empty. Travel loaded for bear (there might be a bear were you land).

Edit: Who am I kidding, if you are senior enough to get teleported around you will run into something far worse than a bear.

[DM Livgin]

Low Tier Character Playing Up: Try as you may, there is no safe place to stand.

Knowledge (Local): you know all the local gossip, tourist attractions, and where the best bars are. Even if you are in a country you've never been before. For some reason, you also know everything about gnolls and cloud giants, which the more sagely-inclined characters have no clue about.

That's because all the pathfinders that go to all the far flung places gf Golarion keep sending picture cards of all the best taverns where they are to the Wounded Wisp/Pigs Paunch

Time crisis! By tremendous magic, Zutha, Tar-Baphon and Geb conspire to bring to Golarion the staff of the ferryman, an object shaped from a cosmic superstring infused with negative energy. If they succeed, they will unite themselves as the new Horseman of Death, withering the planet into the same state as Eox.

Belimarius refuses to help. Krune doesn't answer. Sorshen's price is too high; the allies have called up a former queen in her place.
