Our group has been playing the same home brew for about ten years now, and our characters have gotten pretty beefy. Recently, the DM has been discussing with us the idea of high powered enemies, and assassins. Is there perhaps a magical item in existence that detects enemies? I've done some research but can't seem to find anything that fits the bill, particularly for a Wizard. Thank you in advance for any help.

Mr. Shiny, hello old friend. I know it's been awhile since I've posted anything but my thoughts are always with my pals on the boards.
I have had an extremely difficult year, losing both my parents in the course of five months. I was put on medication, the type that interfered greatly with my concentration and ability to retain information, I'm a Math Major, this was a problem. I took myself off medication and looked into some holistic approaches to stress and anxiety. Long story short (oh wait, too late) I've found that a mixture of catnip and chamomile tea works wonders to calm the nerves and keep the heart rate down without the buzzy headed feelings you get on the meds. I hope I helped in some little way.

Might I suggest the Elenium trilogy followed by the Tamuli trilogy, both by David Eddings. Excellent reading and wonderfully witty.

Hah! I knew I wasn't insane, as far as this goes anyway. Thank you so much, I must have found them as I was perusing the download and mistakenly placed them in my feats. Now I just have to print them out and prove to the rest of the party that I didn't make them up. Thank you again!

Hope I'm posting this in the right place. Heavens there are places for everything in these message boards. I miss you guys!
Okay, to the meat of the problem, please don't think less of me.
We've been playing Curse of the crimson throne for some time now (finally out of Korvosa) and when we started this campaign I wrote two feats down on my character sheet that sounded great. I swear I got them out of the players guide, one was "Reactionary" and the other was "Sacred Touch". Since then I've looked in every book we own as well as online and in the players guides and can't find these feats anywhere. Am I mad (don't answer that) I've been gaming for um...A whole lot of years and have never made this type of mistake before, I know there's a bunch of negative going on in my life right now, but to have it affect my feats! I don't drink, I swear. Where did I come up with these things? Any help would be great as this is really driving me to distraction.

They say kidney stones are almost par to giving birth...now you know my friend.
Thank you friends for the hugs, prayers, and kind words, I am trying desperately to hold on to my sense of humor. Luckily, I have the Paizo boards when I need a smile or a chuckle.

I've been in Washington for a week now helping my son plan his wedding and taking care of my mother. My mother was the first female police officer in Kitsap county, she fought her way up the ladder, blazing the way for other women, finally retiring after 35 years on the force. She qualified for mensa and could do the New York Times crossword in under five minutes, in ink. She has been diagnosed with Korsakoff disease, a degenerative dementia. She screams at me, accuses us of horrible acts and thinks I'm the grooms sister. I'm up with her until four every morning, no sleep aid seems to work. I love my mother.
I am a patient person, I am calm, understanding and serene. I don't ever lose control and I always maintain my composure. Those that know me know that it takes a hell of a lot to get me to even raise an eyebrow, yet lately, I've felt like I want to scream to the heavens and pound my fists.
I know she loves me, I know she doesn't control her mind anymore, I know it's not going to get better, so why am I so impatient and frustrated, and why are all her made up memories so accusatory and evil?
I feel like such a bad person.
Sorry to rant your eyes off my friends, I just needed someone. I need strength, God give me strength...I miss my mommy.

I don't see this working so well for a spell casting class. Some feats require a certain amount of skill points as well. One would lose spells just to gain skills.
Question, why is 6th level considered a sweet spot?

Fakey, you are very lucky. I guess one man's work is another man's play. I noted that Lilith wants to be able to can jams and jellies, yet I do that every year and hate it. Tell you what, you hire me to build things for you, and I'll use that money to hire Lilith to can for me.

I want to build things, big things out of boards and wood. Like a greenhouse from scratch. I love the smell of sawdust and the sound of power tools and using a hammer.

My husband and I used to pillage through our kids' toy boxes for their plastic dinos and any other appropriate toys we could find. We've even used stuffed animals and my son's rancor he used to sleep with (size was about right).
When our kids got too big for such toys (not counting the Star Wars play sets strategically set up all over my 15 year old's room) Santa had to start buying real D&D dragons and monsters.

Like most of you, I had never had the courage to post anything, I didn't want people to know how dorky I truly am.
The Paizo community not only forgives and embraces my dorky ways and total lack of knowledge in some areas (Ahem, anything electronic), but all of you have become the type of friends I would welcome into my home...But Lilith has to bring the cookies.

Jade, I accepted your friend request, how come you're not on my page. Ugh, why does everything have to be computers, wouldn't you all prefer a nice hand written letter?

I finally broke down and did it. Let me know if the link works, you all know how I am about that kind of stuff.
The real Lena

It was two hours where I didn't have to think about anything but the movie and my popcorn. I thought it was pretty good, despite the twins. The action and fight scenes were great, but I was so hoping the old transformer they were looking for was the Memphis Bell, talk about a tease.
Best of all, my son paid for everything, so I'm not out any money even if I had hated it.

I didn't hear anything, but after three nights of no sleep and with everything going on in my household at this time, I found myself just sitting there clicking the arrow repeatedly.
Thanks for the brain break Tensor, I needed it.

I'm going to have to give my vote to the over-eating side. Menarche happens in a girl once her body is large enough for childbearing, typically age 12. Every girl has a genetically predetermined weight and if she reaches that weight at age 9 through McDonalds and twinkies, her body will begin puberty.
Well, look at that, I knew something :)

So, it's in the water? Aaannd, where can I find this water?

Lately I have been very down due to my mother, but today I got a little ray of sunshine. My future daughter-in-law brought over her lovely wedding dress to show me and we got to talk girlie stuff for awhile. My only hope is that my mother is capable of watching a grandchild get married.
Whoo, I can't decide if I'm tearing up about my mother or my son.

Perhaps it was all just some kind of red WIZARDS dream....?

Those crazy wizards, always trying to destroy our world.

All the Realms maps...check, all the books...check. I'm good, I don't see why our happy little group needs to change a thing, and I don't have to spend any more money.

Do like this, Lena :

Thank you Seldriss, I know I've been through this before so if I ask again in a few months just pat me on the head and show me again.

Michael and Farrah in the same day, I truly feel old now.

The offer of a gold ring comes only after the spell has been cast.

I think perhaps he has just been hospitalized
(I can never figure out how to put in a link dagnabbit!)
Check the LA Times online

Sorry I've got to side with the Mona here, 90% of the links I've followed in this thread are not the Hawtness, a more appropriate title would have been

Gamer Chicks are the Allrightness.

Most of the links are girls that are allright, some are downright fugly.

All these girls are beautiful, but I'm not sure it's the outside that matters, personally I think if any of these women walked up to a man and whispered:

Dang it, forgot about that.

Lilith has cookies? Yummy!
Paizo, where goblins are goblins, and men are smurfs.
(give me a break, I'm rusty)

I know my younger siblings are taking care of things, and the doctors assure us she will get better, but I'm so used to being the one making sure things get done. I feel kind of helpless so far away.
(I've missed being here, it's good to be home)

I do normally like to find a silver lining in everything, but this time I just can't...things that suck, my mother in the hospital in Washington thinking she's 28 and asking why her parents haven't come to see her, and me stuck in California.

Thank you lynora, I've sure missed being around. Finally, work and classes are over for the summer, two months of nothing but Paizo!

Okay so maybe the last post should have been in the 09 board and not for future cons, meh, I'm a little rusty.
Let me start again...
Come hades or high water, providing my classes, job, children or finances don't get in the way, I will do everything within my cosmic power to attend at last!

Alas, not only do I miss posting, and the serious discussions with my online companions. Now it seems after my long absence I've missed Paizocon as well. I've begun my vacation only to discover the party is over.

Happy Father's day to all you wonderful men out there! My 17 year old son made my husband a ten foot tall fully operational trebuchet. They've been playing with it for two days now...sigh, I know what's happening to our pumpkins after Halloween this year.

Aah, I needed a good laugh. Thank you for this.

Congrats on the A's Lena. I know how it feels to be in school when you're older. You definitely feel like you've earned 'em. Merry Xmas!

Not only have I earned them, I want these good grades more than most young uns' I see on campus.

I wanted to thank all the staff at Paizo for my great Christmas card, it cracked me up and it was my first card of the year, way to kick it off!
And to all my friends here on the boards, I miss you guys! I know I haven't been able to post as often as I'd like. Finals are next week so soon I'll be back to pass out hugs. I've got A's in all my classes, it only took me twenty years (not counting teen years) to realize I have a brain.

The copy I have was published in English by Penguin Classics. It's from 1960 but there's probably a few copies still around you can get your hands on. I really thought it was a good translation, given that I'd only heard the story before.

Lilith, I love the new chatroom, very nice work
Tensor and I were thinking that we need to get a picture of a sandwich to put down in the little icon thingies(I know, I'm so with this new computer age aren't I)

I've worked a lot with dogs and what really amazes me is that nobody is confessing fear of big canines. I've seen a great many people who s#*! bricks when a big unleashed dog strolls up to them.

Dogs are really terrifying, but I don't think that's an unreasonable fear, some of them look scary. Of course I'm the one who always hears "Wow, he's never bitten anyone before"

He's using numbers...as...as letters?!

Madness.

Ha! Now you know how I felt when I saw people using letters for numbers in my math class *shudder*

Hiya all! Sorry I haven't been around, but on the plus side I'm getting all A's!
My good thing for the day, I got a box from Paizo today with a great shirt in it from a dear friend of mine for my birthday. Does he know me or what? Thanks Stumpy Joe, I know you're lurking out there.
Sure wish I could spend more time on the boards, I sure miss you guys.

I am so sorry my friends, for your sorrow. Here is a big, and I hope, healing hug to you guys.

Okay, now you gotta add me to the list :)

Sorry guys, born and raised in Washington state, gotta stay true. Oh, by the way, Seahawks are gonna take it this year (as long as we don't have to play the officials again...um, better stop, I'm still not over it)

I I can't drink much of anything that isn't caffeinated though. I'm good and thoroughly addicted, to the point of developing tear-inducing migraines if I try to go more than 8 hours without a cup of coffee or a soda. I kinda wish I could 'un-addict' myself without enduring the days upon days of mind-numbing pain, but I tried that once already and couldn't handle it. On top of that, I'm allergic to aspirin and ibuprofen so I can't even use painkillers to get me through the rough spots. I can take Tylenol (acetominophen) but it isn't nearly potent enough to stop the kind of pain I'm talking about. Maybe if I could get some codeine or vicodin...

Yes, I know this route, just ask Daigle. If you want to un-addict yourself, start brewing a mix of regular and de-caf coffee for awhile, then switch to straight de-caf, there is still enough caffiene in it to fool your sytem. Always make sure you carry around some dark chocolate, as it helps the headaches to a degree, Tylenol won't touch a caffiene headache, actually, ibuprofen really doesn't make a dent either. I have fallen off the wagon since starting college, I need my coffee, but I can quit anytime I want to, really, I can...really. ;)

Hi all, from the middle of the Redwoods, Rio Dell, California. Very north, we're a different state from southern cali you know. Well, there's wishing anyway.

How abou Remus and Romulus?
Zues and Athena?
Isis and Osiris?
(Can you tell what I like?)
My cat's name is Scoutis Maximus, or just Scout.

I know I haven't been posting much, mostly due to the new College me, but I have to share with you guys that I got an A+ on my very first essay I've written in over twenty years! Aaand, if you can believe it, I didn't get marked down for any English errors, thank God for spell check.
I will surely try to get on the boards more often, I'm just trying to break into a whole new routine, I'll get the hang of it eventually...I hope. :)

Happy Birthday! And many, many more :)
Had my first day of college today, I didn't get lost once and I enjoyed today's classes. Tomorrow is Math and Soc. so, we'll see how they go.

I now refer you to my previous post. Not only do I not get to watch my team, but my brilliant cable company decided it didn't need to air a single game. Eight football games going on as I type this, and I don't get to watch any of them.
