Once you’ve tried to stab me in my back, you don’t get to say oops my bad. Don’t pick a fight with someone who buys dice by the barrel.

Apparently the forces of Saruman saw the riders of Rohan coming down the hill at them …
I think they were caught off guard by the unified response, flanked, and sneak attacked.
If it isn’t… if there wasn’t at least a kernel of truth - why wouldn’t they just release a statement denying it?
They aren’t trying to win by competing but by outlawing their competitors.
I don't like the idea of any governing body having the right to decide who is or is not a bad actor. That's what the power of our wallets is for :PAnd I’m not sure I like the idea of the power of wallets deciding who is or isn’t a bad actor. Sure, the cancellation pf DnD Beyond subscriptions could be seem as a “wallet-powered” exploit, but similarly I see bank-rolled bad actors are legion. It feels like “let the market decide” all over again. And over and over again, the market has decided in favor of investors, slavers, polluters and other assorted captains of industry. And just as or more often those same things are pushed or bankrolled by governing bodies. If you give them the upper hand you lose control over where they put it.
Without posting the new license, any press release is just hot air. “Mea culpa. Now will you please just look away for a moment…”
Oooh. I still have my role master for when I get a real desire for numbers
I get it, but I'd like ORC to be more focused on who we are and what we can create than what we want to happen to our enemies. What will happen for our allies rather than to our enemies?
*I'm not sure I buy the "teen boys" theory in particular. Maybe if they have no understanding of the current demographics? But that seems unlikely. It's not being marketed as a boys-only game anymore. There's still gender bias, not nearly as centered as it once was.I'm going by where I see the boxes placed at Target. They're placed toward the area of the endcap game shelves that corresponds with the "war" and "action" toys - your action figures, Nerf guns, licensed Lego sets, and Matchbox cars. The stuff that's classified as "boy toys" by the industry. They're not at the end of the game shelves that corresponds with the more domestic play styles, things like dolls and accessories (classified as "girl toys"). I’d have to say the judgment of stores like target of what the audience that buys it is not necessarily what I would go on
Il see if I can assemble that in a legible format.
I actually have adopted many of the deities.Well, if you used mine, I'd love to hear how they fit into your campaign. I will probably enjoy hearing how you created your pantheon in any event, and how your players liked/used them, and I bet many contributors to this thread would. Gotta look up which ones are you. I started as a core with the ones I made that I liked because I made them, then started working out, taking those connected by other people to those ones, then started filling niches, then started inserting ‘just plain cool’

Is there any such thing as a possible negative trait for a race/species to have that has not at some time been attached to some real world race or ethnic group? Seems like it’s a rabbit hole it’s really easy to go way too deep down.
You also have access to the modern education system and the internet, which means the normal person’s ‘common knowledge’ base is vastly more expansive than it would be for those people.
Would you think it was awesome if it happened to you? No? Then don’t go wishing it on other people, even if you disagree with them.
If you want a better example of this kind of anachronism, the rapier was invented in the 1500s, several centuries after gunpowder weapons had become widespread in Europe. So any campaign that throws out guns in the name of historical accuracy should also throw out rapiers. Usually it’s not “historical accuracy“ it’s thematic feel. False argument. There is nothing about the rapier that would have been off despite not existing yet. It isn’t remotely the same as adding firearms.
Also, a different type of bow is quite different from a different mechanism of damage entirely. Even if it was the same type of bow, it wouldn’t be the gotcha you seem to try to imply. If you had a modern game and you allowed an Anachronistic firearm it wouldn’t also follow that you were unfair if you didn’t allow lasers too.
Now you have me wanting a +5 vorpal cookie sheet…
Just as/even more often the ‘problem’ with a paladin at the table lies with the behavior of the OTHER players.
Yeah. Similarly most of my characters at least have a core aspect of my personality somewhere in them. They may be quite different in a myriad of other ways, but:some part of their core will be me. Rime, my halfling witch, has at her core a complete non tolerance of harm to children and despises ‘bullies’ in al forms. Harishan my Vanara Druid believes in honoring all of his commitments, in family and has a burning dislike of involuntary servitude. Elsa my halfling bard was probably closes to my actual personality. But all of them at least in part are people I could “work with” even if I didn’t agree on everything.
Pathfinder's system implies rather more personal magic power, and often less power at manipulating the world generally than fiction including the Harry Potter series. See: 'Gandalf was a 5th level wizard' for another example. Gandalf was holding back from what he could almost certainly actually do.
I’d imagine with the heavy travel involved and ‘planets’ one could do something with reign of winter. I’d have to think on it.
I think the best you could do is figure out what it cost to have a basic standard of living of some sort in both societies compare those two numbers and use that as the conversion rate other than that I don’t think you can get much more granular
I think the differences in economic priorities and values renders the comparison next to impossible. Items that were carefully hand crafted before are now cheaply mass produced. Items that never existed then are now commonplace and relatively cheap. The economies would be rather difficult to compare directly.
Yup. Have all the fun you want. It’s just not based on the rules set. Acting indignant is disingenuous.
Not one of those allows the homunculus to deliver a hex in substitution to the witch. A magic item is not a class feature, so that is somewhat meaningless. Granting evolutions is just that: granting evolutions. It’s a specific class ability with the specific effect of granting specific things to a specific creature, and as such as no further implications that exactly what it says it does. And just speaking in a similar voice could be accomplished by ventriloquism. It still doesn’t give them the ability to use class features which don’t specifically say they can be used that way.
Is it, however, actually supported by the rules whether you happen you believe it ‘reasonable’ or not? Signs say ‘not’.
The GM side of me leans towards “no, homunculus cant do ‘that’ unless it’s a familiar and a familiar could do that.
Of course, you could also use ‘create greater Demi plane’ and put a portal to it aboard the ISS or a long range spacecraft. Make it bountiful and permenant.
Actually,these days there are quite a few ‘small satellites ’ which easily fit in teleport capabilities.
I like ioun stones but at this level budget their price is a tad on the high end. You usually start picking those up as fillers at a bit higher level.
Careful use of a fortune hex in Vegas could work.
Winter witches are something of an exception Zotpox. They tend to be wannabe blasters who can just do damage. In no way am I prevented from debuff or other spells or hexes, and even many cold magic spells have saving throws.
Right, a simple protection from arrows turns your skin into steel as far as a sniper rifle is concerned.A mythic level 20 character can survive falling from orbit and being submerged in lava. A Diviner wizard can't be surprised and automatically goes first. You can dual path for DR10/epic. Wall of Force has 30 hardness and 400 hp. Steel has a hardness of 10 and 30 hp per inch of thickness. An antimaterial rifle is not even going to dent magic. It has trouble punching through more than 2 inches of steel. Comparing the real world to magic pretty much never works out in it's favor. You could add extended stoneskin.
A tier ten mythic diviner with access to mythic wall of force would really ruin a sniper’s day.
thats assuming that they dont just outright view you as a threat and use your friends and loved ones as leverage against you.True also they will ask you to be patriotic and let them analyze you, see if you can teach others and help the with some missionthe problem with that is that if it ever got out you had that power no one would leave you alone. Specifically our govt. Couldn’t you just teleport and remove them from their control?
As I said: Divination, your own Demi plane you can enter from a closet. Use divination to know things and set yourself up as wealthy. You do it right you can get rich without too much issue. If you are psychic, start each day with “Akashaic form’ Snipers have a problem then.
Are you going to sacrifice and spell slot when you can get items that do the same? Depends on the costs.
https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/m/merge-with-familiar/ Is a spell I’m looking at.
So, a caveat to start: Not looking for advice on the build, or "Why did you take x y or Z?" or the like. That being said. Have a fifth level winter witch about to go into the appropriate prestige class.
Hexes of Evil eye, Frostfoot, slumber. Due to feats and traits a very good will save, especially against Hexes, curses or fey magic. Also due to traits has a pretty decent intimidate(+13) keyed off of intelligence and usable against larger humanoids(Creepy doll). Due to 'build' unlikely to engage in any melee. Have already taken favored prestige class for WInter witch in anticipation of getting to Prestigious caster at the next feat after that, so in two levels will have the full caster level and spells. Just because, the Favored prestige class skill bonus will apply to Intimidate again, so that will jump to 16. My buffed up intimidate is an RP preference thingy. Has a sage familiar and multiple buffed up knowledges herself. She currently has an icicle wand, and there is a team collection of potions and scrolls that we dole out as needed. So right now, she is likely to have something around 6,000 or slightly over gold to spend on items when the next opportunity arises(At least. Possible there could be more depending on what comes up. Just estimating) As a note, I highly suspect another party member is taking up crafting shortly So possible shopping list: There is the cackling hag's blouse, which is nice but would blow my entire wad to acquire. Could do a Intelligence headband which would only take four thou of my wad. There are the usual cloaks of resistance, I have fair saves already but more is always good. Just looking perhaps for ideas for the shopping list.
Load up on divination spells. Knowledge is power,
If you were a twentieth level cleric with ten mythic ranks who the heck is going to manage to kidnap and enslave you????
A chaotic neutral could have a desire to free others of all bonds regardless of the moral and ethical consequences. It assuredly can be. A person is a composite of a large number of different beliefs and behaviors. Your alignment is what quadrant the average of that composite puts you in, not a list of things all of which must be accounted for and none of which can be from outside that box.
Even an evil person can have some consistent behaviors which can be called good. No reason a neutral one cannot.They can, but it undermines their official alignment. To make the official alignment believable again, the character would have to show a lot of aligment typical behavior to compensate. There is no reason disliking slavery has to sit on the good evil axis. You can be disliking slavery for moral reasons. But you could also dislike it for ethical reasons. For practical reasons. For personal reasons because you were once enslaved and you hate the institution, you don’t necessarily care at all about the slaves themselves, but you sure want to knock down the thing that tormented you wherever you can. Motivations matter.

He said I could not do that because slave trade is an evil act and I’m not an evil character. I don’t see why not. A chaotic neutral could have a desire to free others of all bonds regardless of the moral and ethical consequences.everybody should be free of all bonds, hey, if that means people suffer, so be it.
They aren't exactly normal and do tend to attract glances.Or vice versa, in the case of Riven and our most recently completed encounter. I can imagine the gaping open mouth and the look like a landed fish still. :-)
Well, THe current group I'm in(ANd the GM did some gyrations to make sure all of these options woudl be equivalent and gradually come into abilities et al, but:
