In an upcoming game I am going after my players sanity and I have a few questions about WIS damage.

1. What should WIS damage feel like?

2.If a character breathes in insanity mist do they instantly start making poorer decisions?

3.Does the character notice that they are being effected?

4. At what rate will a WIS score replenish?

(BTW the specific mechanics I am using are Raktavarna venom and Insantiy Mist)

So in the last game session it became very clear that my gaming group is extremely resistant to the idea of killing characters. (Just so you know we are a group of 5 with a rotating DM schedule) I think all of us are very committed to every character we make so the idea of someone killing a character is blasphemous. I find the element of danger really exciting and the idea that we are playing with kid gloves is a little disappointing. I really would like to see someone die but I don't want to be the dick that kills the character that you have lovingly crafted over the past few months.

So my question. Have you ever killed off a character/been killed off and been happy about it?

So I am attempting to build my first character for PF but I am having a hard time with my characters background. I am building a summoner and I am trying to learn enough background to make my character fit into Golarion rather than just be a generic Archetype. So I am hoping some more seasoned veterans of PF can tell me if my ideas fit the world.

Idea #1) This concept is that he gained his summoning abilities via the blessing of a deity. The basic idea is that his rune is a divine gift that gives him his powers. The problem is I cannot figure out a deity that would be condusive to this idea.The deity needs to be a good or neutral to fit the campaign. Ideas?

Idea #2) I was thinking that my characters eidolon could be a soul that escaped Shelyns Whisperer of Souls. Said soul would be a distant ancestor of my summoner and his release would awaken the latent abilities of my character. Although I don't know if this would conflict with Pharasma or if this kind of thing would happen period. Could be that I am over thinking...

Also if anyone has some good suggestions as to where this character was born or anything like that I would love to be pointed in the direction of some good source. I just hate one dimensional characters and I would love some tips.
