It could, in the opinion of that just, shift my alignment, making me unable to be a cleric of my PCs dirty.... Because of rolling well on a day job check.

nosig, you might very well. I wouldn't know, but there are a lot of GMs out there, and some of them make weird calls. If someone decides that your Day Job is in conflict with your character's deity, and you disagree, you should probably discuss that with the event organizer, venture officer, etc. That's standard operating procedure.

I guess I'm not sure what your point is. Right now, alignment penalties for profession (assassin) are a table GM's judgement call. Are you asserting that, because some judgement calls are pretty weird, Day Job activities should not be subject to any judgement calls at all?

nosig, if you cannot see a difference between Profession (lawyer) and Profession (assassin), I don't know how I can explain it.*

Hey, buddy! Get off of me!

I am against changing things for the sake of changing things. As others have noted above this doesn't really improve the system we've got going on now.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Here, here. Well said.

Man, don't you hate it when someone uses a different alias to back up their own position?

Looks knowingly at The Fox / ShadowLodgeAgent...

I just went back and reviewed every post I've made in this thread, and I can't see where I said anything of the sort. And with due respect, politeness is something that the boards could do with more of in any case.

Right now, there are a few people only GMing the double-credit scenarios. They are becoming higher-star GMs with half the time put in as other people, which devalues the GM reward system (and just feels wrong).

My apologies, you didn't call them fake, just wrong. You're still passing judgment over them. There is no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater over a few isolated incidents of a handful of GM's preferring modules. I'm looking at running modules to avoid cutting into the number of scenarios that get used up by local players outside of game days, does that make me wrong too?

I just don't understand why there is a push to negatively effect your GM pool.

Actually, the main impetus behind this suggestion is to strengthen the GM pool. Right now, there are a few people only GMing the double-credit scenarios. They are becoming higher-star GMs with half the time put in as other people, which devalues the GM reward system (and just feels wrong). There are also players preferentially playing the 3XP, single-session modules to level faster, who are "learning" that PFS is all about combat and getting points (levels) with nothing else being relevant. This style of player has caused problems in my experience, as other GMs stop wanting to run more PFS-relevant scenarios because the players just kick in the door and fight everything.

I get that there are several ways to play PFS, even if I obviously have a preference for a particular style. However, right now there is an in-game incentive to play PFS by rolling initiative at the start of the night and just fighting until you're done. To me, that isn't all that PFS is about.

Hey, get off me, why don't you?

But you're right, we shouldn't be rewarding "fake" GM's! If they don't GM scenarios and just modules they're doin' it wrong! And while we're at it, let's be more restrictive and judgmental of players that want to play differently! It's not like murderhobo-ism isn't already going to bite them in the butt anyways!

Ha! Take that, new person! [/sarcasm]

Demos, let me tell you now that you're in a losing fight, and as far as I'm concerned the gunslinger archetypes from Ultimate Combat aren't all that necessary. Additionally, back during Gencon 2013 a boon was offered during the charity auction to make a character using one of those archetypes, making it more unlikely to see them opened up.

All you humans look the same to me...

It's about time, I thought that fool would never get down...
