I hope this is the right forum, sorry if it isn't I am new to the forum. And I apologize fo
Anyhow Hello, I would like to say that I am new to Pathfinder and I haven't played D&D in several years due some really bad luck with DMs. Anyhow to add to my confusion we are playing a so called "Halfinder" using rules from 3.5 mixed in Pathfinder. My issue is that the current DM is okay with player killing and has a whole side story written out if some of our characters die, the issue is that well I there is a guy in the group who keeps telling me about how he is going to kill my character and how I will not have a chance of saving my character without metagaming. He has listed a few ways of doing so but I have no idea if he actually can but I haven't had a turn with any of the books since then.
His first method is the spell Magic Jar, I understand I get a will save but I am playing an 8th level fighter with a very small will save and as I didn't know that pvp so I had no preparation. He says that he can take my body and adjust my sword just right so that when he switches back I will impale myself with my own sword without me having a fighting chance aside from a will save.
His second method involves an instant kill spell called Phantasmal Killer, I understand that I get 2 rolls one with fortitude and another with will. He claims that my bravery bonus only applies to intimidate and not fear based spells.
His third and final method is to wait until he becomes a lich, unfortunately I don't even know what book that is from so even if I had access I am not sure I could find it. He says that he can create a phylactery and as long as it exists he can not be killed by any means and that until it's destroyed he doesn't even need to worry about negative HP. I told him I would destroy the phylactery but he claimed that as long as it is within 60ft he is fine and that he will just bury it before the battle if he didn't have time for his alternate plan.
His alternate plan has him throwing the phylactery into another dimension, when I said that another dimension is a little over 60ft he argued that I wouldn't know and that it could be an alternate universe overlapped with ours.
Another important note is that this is the DMs first time being a DM, He feels that magic items will ruin the balance of the game so I have no access to magical items to protect myself. When I asked the DM about all of this he said "Don't worry if it does happen I will resurrect your character as one of his minions" when I explained that being a mindless zombie didn't sound fun to me I got "Don't worry I'll make it fun."
I need help on how I should handle this situation, if he is either cheating/misinterpreting I don't wish to make a huge fight over it but instead calmly point out that the rules state otherwise. I don't wish to metagame and attack him first and my character currently has no reason to distrust him. To be honest I'm half worried even if I bring up all the appropriate counters and information that I will still die as right now it feels like this is the route the DM wants to take it and I'm really sad to see my best friends campaign turn from something I looked forward to every week to something sour.
Anyway sorry for this very large post
