Clearly that's because you haven't played with the anybody that can carry their weight in Minnesota.

Thank goodness. One of you is already too much. The droppings are out of control.

The proper term is "peons". If you wish to get ahead in the Sovereign Court you will learn the proper things to call those beneath you...peon.

I will remind you how this entire option is a terrible, terrible idea Compton.

Repeatedly.

Because.

This entire exchange is a perfect example of the lax hiring requirements of the Pathfinder Society. When are we going to get somebody smarter than your typical dunder-headed moron?

While Aram Zey didn't make an appearance until well after my induction into Pathfinder Society, the man has not only become a mentor I've surpassed by leaps and bounds, but a role-model to the right way to treat Pathfinder Society renewable resources. Just because you're all too stupid to see it, doesn't make it not so.

Sovereign Court

Ethan walks in, considers casting mass pain strike, says guys, there's a pile of puke over here by the door, your operation so crappy you can't hire custodial staff? I'm reporting you to health and safety.

He leaves again.

Sovereign Court

Ethan walks in again, Anybody have a rag? Some hideous beast decided to vomit on my new Taldan loafers.

Waving his hand in front of his face, What I am talking about, it stinks worse in here than out there. No wonder...

He makes a face like he's about to vomit and leaves again.

Sovereign Court

Ethan walks in again, makes a huge show of looking like he's going to sneeze...

...and then sneezes all over Denbora's plate of oysters.

Probably better that way anyway.

He leaves again.

Sovereign Court

Ethan takes one step inside, raises his hand like he's going to order a drink, realizes the folly of this course of action, shakes his head, and leaves.

I went to where it's quieter, and far less irritating, like the ninja suggested.

Somewhere without you.

Rumors of what happened in Tamrin have spread far and wide Lips. Your reputation now precedes you. Not that this changed your reputation, or lack there of, at all.

There's a difference though between telling somebody to hide the Halfling, and playing a game of hide the Halfling. Perhaps you didn't get the memo. Wouldn't surprise me.

Sovereign Court

I hear your mushroom screaming regularly about what you do to it.

Sovereign Court

Doubtful. The difference in our respective skills is akin to any multi-cellular organism to a bacterium. That loud sack of meat would be pressed to touch me in the first place. And gods be thankful for that, I don't need to catch whatever new disease he's picked up this week.

Sovereign Court

While I'm sure that you probably can't tell the difference between a normal brain, and that thing you think with, your "mind" as you like to call it certainly may be bigger than my head, but it's not what you have, it's how you use it.

And you, you worthless bag of diseased testicular matter, clearly lack in any real skill.

Sovereign Court

Well little minds do often listen to rumor.

Sovereign Court

If by awesome you mean STIs, then yes, we certainly cannot have that much awesome in first class.

Sovereign Court

And let's keep it that way. Leave the dregs of the society back in steerage where they belong.

Sovereign Court

I have to live in the same city as this.

I have to ride in the same airplane as this.

I can't even move to first class to get away (which is a class that absolutely is my class by the way).

Well then by extension I thank you for your consideration, and I await my eventual escalation to the Master of Snide, Ethan. I do insist my office is larger than that hack Zey.

Sovereign Court

Maybe the Aspis Consortium has an opening.

Last time I reveal who the traitor in your midst is.

Sovereign Court

Clearly you're not listening to me. I've told you everything you need to know on Zey's research. In fact, I've pointed out in no less than a dozen instances where he was wrong.

This "mission" makes no sense to me. It's a waste of resources to try to find him, and furthermore, why in the Nine Hells would you want to find that hack, Sorrina Westyr? Clearly she couldn't cut it in the role, disappearing as she did.

No, you are wrong to go on this adventure when there is a perfectly clear choice standing right in front of you. One speaking to you right this minute.

Worthless...all of you.

And, Ethan Snide, are you going to take that slight of Taldor?

Blah Blah Blah.

I know she's an idiot. But you continuously calling my name like a parrot doesn't make me just come out of the walls like I'm some kind of abnormally intelligent Beetlejuice. Her slight to Taldor is expected, she's a Qadiran. But since she's a Qadiran, it should also be simply ignored for the background noise it is.

The problem here is the player and not the PC that they play. A problem player can make any table they are at worse. A good player can play any PC (regardless of its ‘broken’ state) and make the table better for everyone.

In my opinion it is folly to think that adjusting marks on a page will do anything to influence the behavior of the person running that PC.

There was already too much intellectual superiority to contain even within the walls of a Pathfinder Lodge by me being here, but I will tip my hat to a good point when it's made.

As rarely as that is.

Hmmm, perhaps among all of you worthless plebeians there is actually one worthy of my little and precious time. I already dedicate too much to those clearly beneath my station though so perhaps not...

I'm going to chalk this one up as a fluke chance. As they say, an infinite number of Mwangi apes given a quill and ink will eventually pen a Pathfinder Chronicle themselves.

I think burkoJames was just trying to get back on track deciding if an AC 40, 50-HP-damage-dealing PC was possible/legit, and since Taco's post doesn't help with that, we need more. However, I think it's reasonable to suggest that if Taco isn't doing it at level 13, then it's useful to maybe consider that this random player isn't legitimately doing it at level 11.

Nah, Taco just sucks, like I said before, and I've met his master, he's pretty horrible at optimization.

Sovereign Court 5/5

burkoJames wrote:
I'm not sure why taco was asked for, neither his ac nor his damage are as high as the ranges specified, and his level is 13, not 11.

I agree! Taco is hardly an adventurer of note. I was doing well over that damage, happily trivializing encounters, and not worrying about getting hit well before that point.

Sadly that one character was so overpowered that he made everyone else irrelevant. He wiped out a boss in one round by himself. It turned our session into a joke (legal or not).

At the difficulty of adventuring the Ten sees fit to send me out and deal with I regularly wipe out groups of opponents before combat starts. Just the other week I blew up two groups of mummies in a single fireball, resilient sphered a summoned devourer before they got off a shot, and dismissed a shadow creature of some sort. This was well before those slow blade wielding types even got into the way to take a hit. I'm nothing but a freakin' hero! I probably saved the group, prevented mummy rot, and a bunch of energy drain. You should all be thanking ME! If you want me to not do my job, I'll gladly just reverse gravity whatever you're trying to fight and draw the whole thing out. Stupid fighters and their inability to fly.

Par for the course is what I say...

Ehh, to put it nicely I will never sit at a table with him as a player.

But he is a very competent and intelligent person.

None of you have any idea what you're talking about. This Kyle Baird folk you keep mentioning is nothing but a huge teddy bear. He sent me on an adventure deep into the Round Mountain, and further on a quest for the Ten themselves. Both were such softballs I have no idea where these ideas come from.

Or maybe you're all just incapable.

No. Whats being asked is that you actually SEE every possible consequence of future action (and non action) and how it affects people. HUGE difference.

I can see every possible outcome. They're called divination spells. Hells, even our cleric can do that kind of magic. What are you, some dumb barbarian that doesn't believe in superstitious voodoo? I tell you...the Pathfinders the Decemvirate makes me interact with get dumber every day.

This is the first sensible thing that's come out of any of your respective mouths. I can't believe it took a Dwarf to do it too. I never leave home without mine, and considering what some of YOU smell like, there's a reason it was purchased early in my career.

Sigh. The trolls are out in force today.

Somedays I really wish this forum had a killfile.

I am not a troll. Dear nine Hells do you not know what a troll is man?! A troll is a big green creature, can usually regenerate, is typically terrified by fire, and is far more angry than I am. I am but a not-so-simple Taldan man. If you think I'm a troll, clearly you've been mis-educated, which considering the state of most Pathfinders I meet, isn't surprising.

You guys really need to learn to read between the lines

HOW FAST DO YOU CAST EMERGENCY FORCE SPHERE?

Faster than you. Oh wait, you can't. You also can't do anything other than speak loudly and from what I've heard, fall for the most simple ploys to grab your attention.

As for that atrocity stuffed in that fur thong of yours? The flame makes it look like you've caught something from the local tavern. I'd have that dispelled by somebody has a clue before it turns everybody away from you. Now if that was your intent *golf clap* then good for you.

There are plenty of problem characters! You're all problem characters, that's half the problem. If any of you could carry even half the weight of our adventure that I do, then we'd get a whole hell of a lot more done.

Problem players. Ha! The problem is that none of you are nearly effective enough, or at least as effective as me. And if you don't believe me, go ask that group of civilians I mass pain struck to get what our group needed.

Argue this, discuss that, negotiate whatever. I got RESULTS!

Ethan pops in his head...smells like Xander's used Gnome pants. No way I'm going in there. Cledwin, stick to fighting, you at least make a reasonable meat shield.

Spoiler:
Alas, I cannot post as anybody but myself on the PFS boards, so you do not get the joy of Ethan himself pointing this out.

I'll be at GenCon (for three scenarios if I recall correctly).

Look for Ethan Snide sitting at your table.
