Someone really needs to put an end to that. Or just call it by its real name, "Thief". My LG Rogue town sheriff takes offense to that. :p He should flag it then, for the irony.

Now, look at what board I'm posting in. This will help explain the slight lag in reaction time. Anywhere else on the board, this wouldn't happen. However, in the same place where religious and political discussions often devolve into a flamewar, what do you expect?
Oh, and I'm sorry for saying a bad word. But that wouldn't be enough for you anyways, would it?

Its really a moot point anyways, if the combat lasts long enough that the summoner is done buffing his eidolon, then he should be laying in with his battlefield control spells.

No doubt Sheriff Hemlock is going to have words with the PC, but seeing as he's a part of the troupe that is invading Thistletop on behalf of the town, I'm not sure Hemlock would actually arrest him. Hemlock leaves the PCs in charge when he goes to Magnimar, so he really only has himself to blame.
I'm wondering if I can take some sort of angle on this in "The Skinsaw Murders."
If the paladin is in chArge, in a medieval society, he is judge, juror, and executioner. Justice happens.

You could be right about your whole statement, but this caught my eye. When's the stopping point where city guards just say, "Screw it, let them go."? I mean, they're friends are dead, just now, and you saw these criminals kill them in cold blood over a robbery charge. What's the limit on repercussions for your actions? 10 guards? If I go out and kill 10 cops, do they just stop trying to capture/kill me? This is just a silly meta concept, and not how you should expect a game to be run.
All the other stuff, yeah, you might be right, but I still don't squarely blame the GM for it. They're probably just small, organized militia in a town of 600. However, in a small town like that, killing one person is a sure fire way to get ALL of the town chasing you down with pitchforks. Afterall, everyone in town knows Jimbob the Guard, and those bastards murdered him.

D.C. was never meant to be a residential city. Never should have been. They need to separate the Capitol district from the rest of the city and give everything except the District to Maryland.

So, High INT not too important? My highest points need to be in CHA and DEX?
Forgive me, first time making a Pathfinder character. A summoner is like a sorceror, his spells have saving throws based off of his CHA. However, he really only uses his spells to buff, giving it a lower priority to DEX (which via weapon finesse, allows him to hit things more often and adds to his AC, which he really needs).
After that, if you want skills, put points into INT, then CON, the WIS, then STR.
If you want more damage STR, CON, WIS, INT
If you want more survivability CON, WIS, INT, STR

Then made up all the other stuff after the fact, ie richest noble, and moneylender recognizes the gem (same carats/clarity/quality)..........
all "made up" after the capture of the PC's.......
the jail for a town of 600 sounded really over the top

So all they needed was a german guy with a vendetta and a hot girlfriend to break into it?

My guess here is that perhaps the GM in question is a bit new at this, and has a hard time thinking on his feet. It's an acquired skill that takes a lot of GMing to get better at. Plus, even veterans can forget some details now and then. If the players aren't asking who it is, they either already know, or don't care to get an idea of what they're getting themselves into.

I'm thinking if the guy they robbed was the only noble in town, they wouldn't have brought such a well known item to the only merchant in town in the first place.
The merchant did what he thought was right, or would most benefit himself. There's not much to say about NPC actions, really. If that's what they do, they have their reasons for it. Or, they just didn't think it through. NPCs can be all sorts of characters, even morons.

DM just plain sucked, the players need to find a new one. So the first thing to come to mind is rob the richest guy in a small community? And sell back the goods in the same small town? And get away with it? These guys sound like a chaotic bunch (read: didn't think it through, much like the merchant). I'm not surprised if an inexperienced GM can't rope them into something anyway. It was a bad session overall, from the sound of... I would have expected the richest person in town to have that in his description already. It's such a small town, it should have been common knowledge.
I'm saying that if they had known who this guy was, they never would have tried to sell it to the merchant in the first place. And they should have known who he was, if he was the richest person in town. Therefore, the DM was at fault.

Of course, they could always just put the land back as part of Maryland and Virginia like it originally was.
Now, if she lived in Puerto Rico I'd have much less sympathy, as they can change things by voting yes on statehood. They haven't yet, even knowing what it entails. That's much more of a choice to not have representation that being forced to choose between supporting yourself or voting. That's because the rest of us didn't chose to live in DC. Waah.

Here's what you should do. Construct your Summoner first, before you decide on the kind of eidolon you want. You want high DEX, high CHA, definitely. The rest of the stats depend on your personal playstyle.
Be an elf. Use thinblandes, get the feats endurance and diehard, and then get weapon finesse. Get a crossbow.
For your eidolon, make him a quadraped, with claws, imp claws as an evolution, and improve claws as a feat. Imp. bite is also nice, but you get more attacks and damage from claws. Imp. initiative is a good feat for both summoner and eidolon. You get multiattack automatically, so don't get it as a feat. Improving natural armor through the feat and the evolution is also a good idea.
Basically, you are a buffer/damage dealer with a damage dealing pet, that can go invisible, buff everyone and still do damage via eidolon. Always use your eidolon, the summon monster ability that summoners get is like a second dick, you don't need it and it gets in the way. At level 4, make sure you have summon eidolon as a spell at all times.
At level 14, you become invincible and no one will ever kill you, thanks to stone skin, share spells, and the awesome summoner ability you get at that level.

I'm not just getting trickle down economics when I elect a Repub for President, I'm electing an anti-gay, anti-abortion candidate to office. And then they have the nerve to talk about less government intrusion, but they pick and choose who has rights or not.
The fact of the matter is, no President (the most powerful individual in the world) can enact change without slogging through so much red tape that he just gives up. Everyone likes to blame the man, but in reality, all he does is sign the s~#$ his cabinet approves and puts in front of him. I really only hated Bush because he was never in the White House, he was always on his ranch clearing brush all day. I mean yes, I get it, he's a figure head, but that doesn't mean he has to rub it in.

Umm to me, from making NPC at level 6, 8, 12 and 15...after level 8, this class kicks the living snot out of the duskblade. Before level 8 the duskblade wins hands down. I think people are severly underestimating how good getting an extra action actually is. Like it's could easily get broken good. In anycase, I though this class was suppose to not suck at the early levels and quite frankly I would rather play a fighter 1/wizard x then this class in the early stages...and playing the fighter 1/wizard x SUCKED. Dude, are you serious?
The Duskblade:
d10 HD (I think)
Full BAB
Medium Armor
Channels Spells in the same round he attacks
Power Attacking with a 2 handed weapon.
I'm pretty sure he'll beat the magus on every level.
The problem with the class isn't that it is like the Duskblade-the problem is that it is WORSE than the Duskblade. It needs full BAB, at the very least.

I believe epic play starts at 1st level. The vast majority of NPCs are 1st level commoners, who can be one-shotted by a large rat. You, however, can cast spells and swing swords that most commoners can't.
Killing demons and angels strikes me as a little ludicrous: why give them stats, people might complain about them as being too high or low level in their opinion? And ghosts too. Doesn't that strike people as a little over-the-top? Killing things that are already dead? Epic. And wouldn't fighting all these level 3+ things make those level one encounters redundant? Won't that take away your sense of accomplishment, having slain the mighty dire rat of Xol-Thar, conqueror of nations?
You get to beat bandits, which is waaaay more than any npc can do. And move large rocks (not boulders, though. Waaay too over the top for me.) And swim through shallow rivers without drowning like most people. All of these things are rather epic in comparison to commoners, so I don't see the need for this 21+ silliness.

BPorter wrote: I'll state the following up front. Game play in the high teens, let alone the levels bolted on by Epic rules, do not appeal to me. I can appreciate the power curve of the 1-20 scale, the nod to backwards compatability, etc. IMO, once your adventures have to include plane-hopping & CR20+ outsiders just to provide "level-appropriate challenges" you've already hit the "epic" level of play.
In much of the speculation of future PF RPG products, I've seen repeated references to 2011 = Asian-themed stuff; 2012 = epic rules; 2013 = psionics/Vudra (maybe). At first, I just shrugged it off - maybe I'd get it, maybe I wouldn't.
However, I've arrived at another concern separate from my personal gaming biases.
If an entire year of RPG products are geared toward Epic Rules & epic-rule tie-ins, is that a risk for Paizo's business plan?
Reasons for asking:
1. It's stated that Paizo adventure-related research shows that the most popular adventures span the levels 1-15, hence the increase in the # of APs that top out at those levels rather than run the full 20 levels.
2. Epic-level rules is a step beyond even those levels. If the mid-high teens are a significantly smaller # of gamers than levels 1-15, would it stand to reason the # that are interested in playing at epic levels would at most be comparable to the number that play at levels 16-20.
3. Presumably, if there is an epic-level rule supplement, there would be an AP tie-in or additional PF adventures using epic-level rules. This would result in a sizeable portion of the Paizo product line for 1/2 or most of a year be tied up with a theme that could be of little interest to most of its customers.
Obviously, this is just speculation. (Hopefully unfounded.) Paizo's got a proven track record and haven't let me down yet.
Just curious as to what others think.
Why do you care? Don't buy it. Eventually they will have to release Pathfinder 2.0 to stay viable. Are you going to whine about that, while disguising it as a question of fiscal viability?

Spontaneous casters are supposed to have more per day than prepared, no? And even if not, the class that's stabby and casty shouldn't have more spells than the one that's just casty. I did an analysis of the Magus vis-a-vis the Eldritch Knight in another thread in this subforum. The upshot of the Magus's spells is that she can just barely keep pace with a Wizard specialist at the levels the Magus has. Considering that her spells are lower level and she devours them to fuel her class abilities, I think it was a good idea to give her plenty of slots. Can a Magus become an Eldritch Knight? Straight Magus, that is?

Balance the budget first (keep tax rates where they are, outlaw earmarks (i.e. every spending bill has to stand alone, no riders on bills unless we get a line item veto), cut the hell out of unnecessary spending, put a wage freeze on congressional pay (or scale it back even), put the serious hurt on public sector employment and get rid of a lot of the bureaucracy, get our military out of Korea, Japan, Europe, the Middle East - we can keep Diego Garcia though, it's good to have something in the region to protect our shipping interests), well, actually, get a surplus going so we can pay down the debt (I do think owing a ton of money to China is a huge national security issue), and once the debt is paid down and people are weaned from government dependence, then we can discuss going to a flat tax or a national sales tax or something.
But the ultimate goal is to make government less intrusive in our lives, yeah. It's way too big right now; we need something, but not something that consumes as much of our GDP as it does now.
I agree unnecessary spending needs to be cut, but if you expect us to get out of debt with the current tax rates, you'd be sorely mistaken. I would raise taxes across the board (which would suck for alot of people, but such is life) and NOT use the extra money I make from the taxes for anything other than to lower the defecit, which includes paying off China.
The reasoning behind our military being stationed in foreign countries isn't just a bow to the UN or commitments to those countries-they also represent a tactical advantage. We had to pay Pakistan alot of money to have an airforce base on their land. Then we found out they were funneling the money to the insurgents so we could continue paying them for the base.
Think about it. Japan is right next to what volatile countries? I can name 6. We incorporated Hawaii into the United States for just that reason-it was also why the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. And while you can make the case that we shouldn't be helping other countries, being able to shape those wars to our advantage is essential in the Global Age.

Guy, who f*~+ing cares? We aren't talking about g!$!@+n clerics or paladins. Were talking about arcane spellcasters here. Unless asmodeus is going to escape from hell to tell my magus he's doing it wrong, I really don't see this changing.

If you worship a god then you worship them, ya can't say "well I worship this god, I don't agree with hardly any of his teaching and want to be nothing like him but I like to dress in red and he likes red so I worship him"
Such a person is giving lip service and is not worshiping that god.
Well, I'm guessing some people just like jesus for his sexy surfer bod. Seriously, have you seen those abs?
Also, many religions have offshoots that put completely different spins on the deity in question.

I'd hope so, you can only release so many adventures for the 1-20 range, I like how wizards recreated the new 4e for 1-30 play, but can't really stand how 4e is setup (if i wanted to play a boardgame id go play a boardgame). No edition warring, the 4rrys will crucify you.
But they'll eventually get around to it.

Anyways, anyone who isn't a cleric or, apparently, a Paladin, can worship whomever they damn well please with no real impact on alignment. Unless, of course, they play PFS.

I don't know, the whole "sex offender" witch hunt scares me as much as the actual offenders. Well, excuse me for stepping in. I thought someone should say something on a board where saying "retard" or "gay" is wrong. Mah bad dawg.
I'm sorry for attempting to discourage anyone from molestering children. Apparently, they deserve it, and I was wrong.
Edit: Also, I prefer Democracy over Dictatorship, as far as DMing style goes.
