Not to worry about the Blackros dogs. I'll soon put paid to them and their slave trafficking ways.

Best use of a slave ever...

Buy one and give him to the paladin. Then when he frees the slave pat him on the should and tell him "Owning your first slave is the hardest. It gets easier after that."

And yes, the player consented to making his pally squirm. He thought it was hilarious.

Well, if you like being backhanded with the gauntlets still on... :P

I'm glad this bit happened to appear again, because I'd wanted to comment on it but was late to the thread. My first reaction to the thought of another PC doing this to my paladin was, "I don't really think Gram will be able to live with this. He very well may commit seppuku at the end of the scenario." I'm pretty sure that's not the character development that anyone would have been looking for.

Now that this topic has come up, and I have had some time to think on the situation, I have an appropriate response. Thanks, I guess?

However, I would be really curious how the stereotypical paladin with dumped Int and Wis would respond.

Having dumped neither, I couldn't tell you, but I know exactly what to do with slave-taking scum.

There is a trait that reduces the penalty to deal nonlethal damage with weapons. Barbarians have a couple of nice totems (the rage power kind), that work well against evil outsiders.

WHAT?!

Hey THUNDERLIPS! -

You can pull your swings so they don't hit as hard, and knock your foes unconscious instead of caving their skulls in. Some people have the ability to reduce the penalty to their accuracy when they do that.

Apparently the good guys aren't allowed to kill their foes.

I kill my foes all the time, thank you very much. :p

(I will now be interrupted by an even older codger, who will say that there used to be TWO faction missions per adventure, so half the party would do that and then leave before killing the bad guy)

*wobbles out on his cane* Actually, before then it used to be only ONE faction mission per adventure, and you durned lucky if you managed to find one of the rare missions that offered a second prestige point. Fail your single faction mission and you got no prestige for all your hard work...*totters off muttering about whippersnappers these days*

You hear a wavering voice, from offstage, saying something about "DC 25 Diplomacy checks, with my Fighter with a 7 Charisma, and Diplomacy untrained!"

And everyone talked about their visit to the Museum. I think it generated a movie of some sort.... Although many Pathfinders seemed to be of the opinion that the Museum should be razed, not praised.

Myself? No, not razed. Sealed tight, maybe moved into a pocket dimension, but not razed, or burned down or anything like that. After all, who knows what horrors that might release? Just opening a door in that place can spell death or worse.

I have sworn a holy oath to the Inheritor that if I am ever sent to bail out that accursed place again, I shall put it to the torch. From demons to the Outer Dark, the evil infesting that basalt menace knows no bounds.

"I swear by the Inheritor, if I have to bail out that fool Blakros one more time, I shall be sorely tempted to burn his accursed museum to the ground to cleanse the evil that clearly infests the place," Gareth growls as he pushes open a side door, deftly turning his shoulders to get his sheathed greatsword through the doorframe. "When is the next departure for Avistan and Mendev? I feel I should be quit of Absalom for a time, and would see the Diamond of the North."

The blasted Razmirans interfered with our passage upriver before the Venture-Lieutenant called us back to Absalom to deal with the infernal Blackros Museum's problems again, but fear not, I shall journey to Mendev with all haste at next opportunity.

Frankly I don't care all that much about race boons. However, a paladin of the Silver Crusade with maximum ranks in Heal who can't have a day job as a healer seems a bit silly. :p
