Just finished watching Adam Curtis's "The Century of Self" part 3, for like the 4th or 5th time.

At 52:25min in, the questions are asked.

"What do you want?"
"What do you really want?"
"What do you want that for?"

For pathfinder Online, I want what I can't seem to find in the real world.
The fantasy, of "Propriety."

These are all actual lessons and phrases.
(I'd like to see some of these philosophy put in the game.

"To defeat a monster, give it what it wants, and then run like hell."
"A monster feeds, and then it grows. And then it wants more. Until eventually when there is nothing left to consume, it consumes itself."

"A nation without heroes is a cursed land."
"A Martyr and a hero are the same word."
"Heroes are the first to die."
In ancient times, "Heroes did not advertise."

Do good deeds in secret.

If the penalty for committing a crime is death, who dares be a criminal?

When you go after the king, make sure you kill him.

Warfare is about being as evil as you want to be. -Napolean

Call your enemy what you are. And always tell the exact opposite of the truth. -Vladimir Lenin

The illegal we do immediately, the unconstitutional takes a little time. -Henry Kissinger

not to be over looked.

= dancing.

Somehow, I would play a MMORPG game longer if it only had better dancing scripts.

Before Never winter nights came out I was hyped about it for a year and a half.
Oh wow, this is gonna replace Dnd. We're gonna make adventures we can play online!
Played Neverwinter for a year and a half. But never played Neverwinter 2.

When Diablo 2 came out, I was hyped for Diablo3 for 2 years. But it took like 10 years. And I have yet to play Diablo3.

Since this'll be a year and a half before a beta, how will ye keep up the hype?

Would like to see more Q&A videos, and Demos.

Said in blood bowl chat:
<fangbanger> wuhan, now he's the luckiest SOB on the sight , he's good mind you, but nuffle has truly choseen him as his adopted son, thats a fact jack, but again he skirts the rules , but he's NOT a cheater
<Synn> lol
<Synn> so true

So I don't want to get a criminal or attacker flag. But I want to hamper an operation/organization.

What can I get away?
Stinking Cloud?
Obscuring mist?
Control Weather?
Deeper Darkness?
Earthquake?

Have my pet attack?
Have my summoned monster attack?
Have my charmed creature attack?
Have my paid mercenary attack?

Because what's wrong with paladins paying an assassins guild in favors???
Aren't those that say they want to do the most good, really just politicians?

I was going to have the PC's fight a bunch of low level clerics...

But what happens if all 5 clerics cast doom on the barbarian?

Does it stack?

I imagine the big money is in seizing settlements?

Can a LG settlement, be controlled by an Evil empire, or does it change alignements?

Grappled creatures cannot make attacks of opportunity.
A grappled creature takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and combat maneuver checks, except those made to grapple or escape a grapple.
Grappled creatures cannot move and take a –4 penalty to Dexterity.

does the -4 penalty to dexterity stack with the -2 to combat maneuver checks? so you'd have a -4 CMD?

if a dire bear is grappling a PC. And another PC bull rushes the bear, away from the grappled PC, does that break the grapple?

Scene:

x = empty space
P = PC (move speed 30')
B = Barrel/Furniture (+2ac partial cover, difficult terrain)
M = Monsters with Crossbows

If a PC decides to hide around a corner, and fire with their ranged weapons or spells, how much cover would they get?
Do they have line of sight on the Monsters?
Can they even fire around the corner?
Would they need shot on the run to even make this attempt?

EL5 encounter, for lvl 3 PCs.

The fight is 5 CR 1/2 fast zombies, and 2 CR 2 Juju zombies 2hd.

Making a Juju Zombie Ninja, and a Juju zombie monk.
They get equipped like normal NPCs.

Should the Zombie monk, get a potion of mage armor. Effectively giving
him AC23?

He has Combat Reflexes, Improved Grapple, and Body Guard.
While the ninja, has dodge, mobility.

Motto: It's not a fight until someone dies!

Scene: 3rd level PC's have moored their ship to the pier. Arrived on Pirate Island.

The walk up a steep 80' steep slope, to the Large Pirate Building. Pirates are in a building at the top of the slope. The door is slightly ajar, and the pirates are hiding with full cover.

When the PC's enter within 30'. The make perception checks dc23.
Failure indicates surprise.

5 Pirate, Sailor CR 1/2 +1 Cleric1/Bard1 +1 Barbarian1/Cleric1 (Besmara)
rush out of the building Seal Team 6 style, and surround the PCs.

Their tactics are don't let the Pcs gain the higher ground, but 5' downhill for a flank.

Initiative is rolled. Pirates surround the PC's. While the PC's are somewhat still in their formation.
Then the Pirate/Bard casts Grease on a cluster of PCs.
A PC fails, and slides down the steep slope...

Do the Pirates get AOO while the PC's slide down between them?

Steep Slope: Characters moving uphill (to an adjacent square of higher elevation) must spend 2 squares of movement to enter each square of steep slope. Characters running or charging downhill (moving to an adjacent square of lower elevation) must succeed on a DC 10 Acrobatics check upon entering the first steep slope square. Mounted characters make a DC 10 Ride check instead. Characters who fail this check stumble and must end their movement 1d2 × 5 feet later. Characters who fail by 5 or more fall prone in the square where they end their movement. A steep slope increases the DC of Acrobatics checks by 2.

If my Halfling Samurai, uses Aid another on his Wolf mount.

For a successful +2 attack, +4 because of helpful trait,

And the mount hits with his next attack, and gets to trip for free,

Is the Trip also at +4 CMB?

Scene: 5 Villains are up a 20' ledge, 10' x 15' Raining down Ranged touch spells, and arrows, on the PCs.

The PC's are on a 5 ft 10inch wooden walkway that leads both to the ledge with the villains and away from it.

If the PC's don't want to have Spellcasters in their back ranks pick them off a ledge like playing the Atari game Carnival...

How do the PC's climb up the ladder and fight the villains?
