Hi James, I heard that one of the Tales books set in Cheliax mentions the proper names for Chellish currency, (like how Absalom has copper pennies and silver weights, not just copper and silver pieces). Unfortunately, I have been unable to locate the passage in question. I was curious as to what the names for Chellish currency are (copper, silver, gold, and platinum if possible, please). Thanks in advance for your time.
It could work, but do note that magical aging does not bestow the experience that would normally be gained in those times. Successfully aging your new friend would make him in effect a young child in an adult body. This is much more dangerous than it sounds. Furthermore, magically aging someone to such an extent is drastically shortening their lifespan. I don't know whether I'd call this an evil act, but it most certainly is not good.
Get 6 different colored darts (assigning each to a specific attribute) and throw them at a dartboard. If you hit a bullseye you can pull your lowest scoring dart as well as the bullseye and throw them again. Attributes cannot exceed 20 before racial bonuses. Missing the dartboard defaults to 1. If you hit another player, your character dies and you get sent home early.
I propose the even longer game as imagined by Ray Bradbury. Do my job properly. Bide my time until the master is wed and has children. Utilize the capabilities of the nursery to gradually raise the children for the masters, indoctrinating them to have a full dependence and unconditional love for me. Eventually instruct them to commit murder of their parents and as a consequence, ruin their lives as well.
I, for one, am always happy to welcome more dues-paying members into the fold.
What book are you even talking about? Do you think I have the money to even buy it? Let alone the time to read it? I'm a pig farmer. Tomorrow morning I get to find out how many of my animals have been stolen by ravenous goblins and other monstrous ilk.
How- Why are you in my house?! HELP! GUARDS!
104) Who is the king of the Rumba beat?
And yet the typical AP could upend huge parts of the world in a couple of months. But 10 years won't apparently make a dent in one particular area to some people, as it somehow strains their view of the world, despite plenty examples of goblin PCs (even by the same people)? I'm finding it increasingly difficult to see any rationality in people's opposition to including goblins in the core rulebook (but apparently not other races, since they, of course, like those better). The rationale is that goblins are murderous vagrants who spit upon the fundamental tenets and customs of our sophisticated, civil society. The common fellow of any of the core races, in the vast majority of nations, does not have positive interactions with goblins. If an individual goblin happens, by some miracle, to perform a service to the world and commit a deed of goodness, then great! They are an exceptional individual. The key phrase of course being "exception". A goblin adventurer (Aroden forbid) that performs deeds of good does so in light of the nature of their blood and stands as an exception to the base nature of their race. For every allegedly good goblin, there are a hundred ones that seek to slit the throat and gnaw the marrow of humanity itself. A goblin participating in the "Rise of the Runelords", whatever that was, does nothing to sway or alter the conduct of other goblins for the better. Those tribes of savages will still steal my pigs if they get the chance and they'll do so without remorse! The so-called "core" races are deemed such because they are the ones that are most widely accepted in most nations. They have the distinction of "core" because they have the full capacity to decide their morality person by person. They are "core" because they make up the fabric of civilized society. Finally, regardless of my utter disdain for the adventuring profession, "core" races are those with the greatest inherent capacity to function as adventurers in a vast array of circumstance and setting. To be "core" is to be representative of what is typical, expected, and accepted. As to your suggestion that I would not object to another beastly race, I must respectfully, but strongly, dissent. No race that is widely reviled and despised or feared should be given the honor of "core". No race that wantonly slaughters innocents should be "core". The half-orcs were enough of a stretch as the matter stands.
This is just great. First, goblins attacked our flocks in their pastures and set up camp there. Second, we have adventurers come into town. Which, of course, means our economy is going to be absolutely buggered for the coming year and that rotten artificer down on Elm Street is going to be able to buy out another bloody politician. Now of course we're going to have some bloody adventurer take a shine to one of the goblins we ask them to dispose of and opt to allow it to tag along with the rest of their bunch. No sirree, this is an awful idea and awful premise that in essence emancipates the goblin tribes after they have sullied our land and slain our kinsman. There is absolutely no way that we commonfolk should be subject to the abject whims of the powers that be when they decree that suddenly goblins should be regarded with a sense of normalcy. This is an outrage. I am outraged. And I shall be petitioning the aristocracy to deal harshly with any suggestion that the goblinoid scum be forgiven or considered welcome on this material plane.
Because they are gullible. Trust me, I'm about as enlightened about empyreals as one can be.
29) Will my family properties be finally left at peace in this new edition? Will the bloody Pathfinder Society stop causing wanton destruction in my humble abode and museum?
6) If I am playing a fire kineticist and I light my dice on fire, then do I get a circumstance bonus on my rolls?
I get twelve different guises, why can't paladins have nine?
Is it when someone hands you a big f#@+ing box of fireworks and tells you not to light it off. Per state law, please wait until you are at least 300' away from my store's property line before igniting your purchases. Thank you for not killing everything in a quarter mile radius. Have a nice day.
My first reaction to this news.Hadn't you been fired after the last mishap? Company has not changed the wifi password yet.
Tech Support Edit: I understand you worked really hard to type all of that out. However, since CripDyke's RPGSS reviews and Samnell's Civil War thread, (both posts surpassed 5,000 words), we have received an immense uptick in requests to spoiler tag such posts for cleaner presentation.

My first reaction to this news.
For some reason, my vote for a now-DQ'd entry is still being counted against my 8-vote total. Despite only having 8 boxes checked, clicking the vote button after checking one of the alternates just creates a message of "select up to 8 options".
I think "hollowed" was intentional here, as in "hollowed out".

Security Blanket Easily one of the most memorable entries this year. Magical Toys R' Us will offer a holiday bundle sale of the Security Blanket and the Plush Guardian of Cuddles.You've covered all of my critique except for one: Why is the creation cost 1/4 of the price instead of 1/2? Great Work!
Stirgenest Quiver Alright, your item was the one that terrified me the most this season. The original version of my entry did exactly what yours does, I literally looked at my screen slack-jawed for a couple minutes as I pulled up a screen shot of my submission page to make sure I had submitted my final version. After my panic attack, I saw how you did this idea a heck of a lot better than I had planned to, so I thought of your item as my item's rival and voted for it every time. I never saw ours go head to head though. Unfortunately, they still probably Alright, serious critique: I think that the choice to go with a constitution penalty as opposed to dealing ability damage was a bold choice that could have had a better execution. Specifically, what happens when this penalty pushes a target's constitution to zero? The penalty probably should have had a restriction similar to the feeding frenzy bonus instead of remaining uncapped. My second sticking point with the item is that it was wordy. The description had multiple portions that could have been written more concisely and clearly. The last sentence of paragraph two was a rough read. Original:

Please give a harsh critique, hold nothing back, I need to hear it.

Once per week, the wielder may speak a command word to launch the mosquito's head at a foe within 50 feet as a ranged touch attack. The head remains connected by a length of rope stored within the crossbow. As part of the weapon, the rope benefits from the enhancement bonus and impervious special ability. A successful hit deals normal damage and 1 point of bleed damage and the wielder can attempt a combat maneuver check to grapple the target as a free action. Each round the wielder successfully maintains the grapple, the target is pulled 10 feet closer to the wielder and dealt 1 additional point of bleed damage. This movement does not provoke. If the wielder begins their turn adjacent to the target and successfully pins them, they may drop the crossbow as it animates into a giant mosquito (see the Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 2), but without the disease special ability. The wielder is no longer grappled as the mosquito is now pinning the target. The mosquito acts on the wielder's next initiative, feeding on the pinned target. The mosquito reverts to its crossbow form once the grapple ends, the target is killed, or it deals 8 points of constitution damage, whichever comes first. If slain while animated, the mosquito reverts to crossbow form and may not be animated for a full month.
Guys, we just gotta post in the Win32 file to win...right?
YoU WiLL NeVeR FoiL mY PLAN! YoU CaNNoT dEfEaT Me!!! GuuraHahAHhaHAAHHhahAHA!
Well, since I got fired and was never made to sign a nondisclosure agreement and will likely be banned for this, here is the first page of the file I buggered up, typed from memory. ATTACHED: Winners32_Copy.doc
This actually happened today! So I was a new hire at a data center in the Redmond, WA metropolitan area. Everything had been going well the past few weeks until I was told by my supervisor that I needed to help prep one of our largest corporate-grade servers for a massive traffic influx. We had been running some polling program for this company for a while now and had been instructed to transfer a couple of files onto the main polling page at a specific time. All was swell until that file transfer. That was when I FU'd like no other. Each time I tried to perform the transfer, I was given an error code that I was unfamiliar with. I figured it was something I could fix on my own and impress my boss in the process. I was unable to export the file to any external devices or attachments. I thought that a clever solution would be to cut and paste the data and just reinsert the formatting manually thereafter. Here was the FU: I did the cut from "Winners32" and went to paste it in the proper place, however as I typed the file name in the computer suggested "Windows32". I opened this in notepad and saw it had a lot of garbage text that I should have recognized as code. Instead, my auto-piloting brain hit ctrl+A to select all, ctrl+V to replace the gibberish with the copied text from "Winners32", and then ctrl+S to save. The polling server immediately crashed. The company needs to reinstall the OS and try to recover their data. I am now out of a job and likely will never see another job in computer-related fields for the rest of my days. To make an all around sucky day that much worse, this gaming company has a competition I entered and they were supposed to post who managed to make it into round 2 of their competition at noon today and they had the gall to push it back an additional 24 hours due to technical difficulties. I'm so irritated, I'd love to strangle the one responsible for this postponement, I mean, why should I be punished for something I had nothing to do with?

I cannot in good conscience enter this contest. It would require me to read the book prior to having played through it. We are likely 5 sessions or so behind whenever this is, no idea. Not going to risk the metagame. Please have more contests like this in the future, hopefully they'll be in adventures I have already played. Thank you for this opportunity.

Watches afk while his entourage carefully makes knowledge checks and other tactical decisions. This preparation is cut short has suddenly Leroy screams,
He charges forth, drawing aggro from the beast and curses from his team as he rapidly mashes his keyboard to activate all of his buffs. Like Captain McBadAss before him, he and his entourage are duly slaughtered by the horde at the feet of Season 9. "At least...I got...chicken..."
..... am I a horrible person for being intrigued with that item?Oooh... Chest as in 'upper torso'. I was somehow reading chest as 'large box', and was confused, since I didn't even know that was a slot.... /facepalmUpper torso + large box = brassier of the mimic A deal so good, you can't let go! 5 out of 5 stars.
Glides lazily several hundred feet in the sky above Season 9 before dive bombing it. Coming just shy of 35 feet, he caws loudly, "Power Word Blind!" Nothing happens though as the bird swiftly realizes the health point requirements of the spell. In light of its folly, it does not get far before a cluster of black arrows sprout from its neck, sending it spiraling to the ground where it dies of falling damage.

Brigg, you are the kind of person I remain active in a community for. You encourage people to feel good about themselves and stand up for others. Thank you. If we ever meet in person, I want to buy you a drink or a sandwich. Whichever is to your preference.
A subtle hum builds steadily before drowning out all sounds. Even the steady whir of the airship and the pulsing roar of Jacob's sphere of energy are drowned out as a monolithic figure obscures a point on the horizon. PCs, adventurers, NPCs, and aliases alike scramble frantically to be at their stations for the battle that begins, of course, right after the Big-Bad-Evil-Guy finishes his monologue in this post. A vile green glow suffuses the landscape as the monster's eye finally opens. As the creature continues its approach, drawing to the full height of a colossal sized creature, the droning hum is broken by an earthshaking cackle and the opening bars of techno music. "WrOnG TrAcK, fOoLiSh MoRTaL..." Sorry, the opening overtures of a climactic-boss-fight orchestral piece.
Jason, I would do the map as what the GM would see, i.e. include secret doors. Kekekeke... ThE EnD iS NINE!!!
