Someone mentioned Shadowrun in which spellcasters always have to roll for casting (in which they may fail) and drain (they take drain no matter what even if it's one point). Even though these rules were in place, many people still wanted to play casters even if they would pass out after a particularly impressive spell. Check it out!!

Does anyone use the GameMastery critical hit and fumble decks? Both have a Magic section on each card for crits and fumbles. So my question then became "Then what is a caster rolling to cast a (any) spell?" Since magic works the way it does in the core rules the answer was nothing but Game Mastery still has it on their cards.

I decided to do the 10+ spellcraft vs. 10 +spell level+ 1/2 caster level
just to make it work and it does. Peeps love rolling crits w/ magic 'cause the cards give awesome crit options. On the other hand I get to laugh maniacally when they roll a 1.

Also, throw in a Mord'Sith from Terry Goodkind's [i]The Sword of Truth[i] series into the mix every once and awhile, that'll rattle them. Mwooo hah ha ha ha

Hmmmm tough one! I only get five.

In no particular order

Firefly
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
BSG
Deep Space Nine
Farscape

I wish to say that Stargate SG1 (the first three seasons) as well as Space: Above and beyond deserve mention.

What's the call on the show Supernatural? because I'd bump someone off the top five list for that.

She's kind of afraid of Amiri

Amiri is fascinated with Merisiel. She loves your bladework and is totally perplexed by your "devil may care" attitude and seemingly fearless demeanor. In many ways, Amiri wishes she was just a bit more like Merisiel. But she also sees that she needs to be there with Kyra to pick Merisiel and Valeros off the floor should their impetuousness get them in a heap of trouble. So she hangs back a bit, just so all of our warrior types aren't in a bad position. Amiri just wishes that you would leave just a little bit of the slaying for her. :)

The reason this thread (and Pathfinder as a whole) is great is because it shows the versatility of the classes in the hands of veteran players. Amiri is a wonderful representation of what you can do with the class beyond stats and dice rolls and feats etc. Sure a bit of what I've heard many players refer to as (and whine about) "stereotyping the classes" is going on in regards to say Ezren and Valeros. However Amiri in particular shows a barbarian that actually hangs back in a fight and thinks in terms of tactics which provides a refreshing view of 'the warrior types'

I could go on and on about Paizo and how they've reinvigorated the fantasy rpg and how this thread is evidence of that.

Again, props to you Paizo staff, I think players both veteran and new should read this thread to get a sense of going beyond stats and dice.

I have to say that I love the thread!

However Merisiel has been a very BAD influence on my elven wizard.*wags finger at Merisiel*

He won't put clothes on and runs into battle naked, he colors his mounts rainbow patterns and won't stop trying to Mage Hand mushrooms into everyone's mouth!! (especially the paladin)

Plus he keeps insisting he's at least 3 levels higher than everyone becuase of the Elven Snark ability that he believes he gets xp for.

*Shakes fist at Merisiel*

But then again his name IS Skittles that should've told me something right there.

Great Elven Snark:
DM- "You realize it's the Lamm who you're after, the very same man who got you kicked out of the Academae."

Skittles- "To the fire store!"

or running through the streets shouting that Queen Ileosa wants to kill herself!

There should be an Elven Snark thread methinks.

Or

And thus a shining example of how the rogue is the only one that gets perception as a class skill

Perception check anyone?

Perhaps we can expect a swarm of pillow creatures? Or are they merely traps and possibly weapons?

Would pillow be an exotic weapon proficiency? hmmmm

anyways judging by the cover art and recent events perhaps we can expect a group of pillow-wielding evil elf types.

The cover art is only placeholder art. We don't expect the final art to arrive until May.

Darn! You mean no pillow wielding drow? *looks depressed*

I know, I mince with anticipation.

Name of PC: Moira
Class/Level: monk 1
Adventure:Edge of Anarchy
Catalyst: Owlbear skeleton
Story:Going into the first encounter of the cemetary the monk decides to take on the Owlbear skeleton Bruce Lee style, and after two hits 'Bruce' wasn't doing so good. *shakes fist at cleric* damn channeling positive energy saved Moira just as fighter and paladin took skeleton down!

Name of PC: Corporal Prik (Sable Company) and Efreet
Class/Level: aforementioned fighter and paladin both level one
Adventure: Edge of Anarchy
Catalyst: Hellknights
Story: I decided to make the end of EoA massive combat fiesta. I threw 5 3rd level Hellknights in there to up the anty. Both prik and Efreet were poned hardcore before that damned cleric and her channel positive energy saved them in time. *shakes other fist at cleric*

note to self: Do something about that darn cleric
