Golem Antimagic is only one of the most confusing and polarizing ambiguities in the entire system.

For some light reading, try here, here, here, and here.

Yikes! I guess I won't hold my breath for a definitive answer.

Golem question here.

Golems have their harmed by / healed by anti magic schemes. Does that apply only to a spell cast at them, or any damage of that type?

Ex. Clay Golem. Does the 5d10 harmed by apply the same for a Frost Runed Weapon as a Cone of Cold? What about a literal bucket of ice thrown on them? Are they immune to the rune damage of a shock runed weapon?

It just seems like a big step for a 1d6 frost rune to do 1d6+5d10 to a clay golem. Makes them a heck of a lot less scary.

That is a very good point. I was totally ready to let the bleed continue, because I think it 'feels' to me like its in the spirit of the typed damage that inflicted it.

I agree that it does start to be broken if applied to a weakness rather than to merely bypassing.

I think for my game, we'll try to split the difference and see how it plays over the next book (converted Hell's Rebels, in the middle of book 3). I think the bleed continues, but a weakness will only apply to the initial damage. Keeping the 'feel' of it, but without letting it be broken.

Thanks all, some great arguments here. I can totally understand why someone would rule different.

Will it be on Roll20 or other VTT? I'll want to buy it, just once though. Thanks.

... So, it seems unclear how Paizo products make their way to the VTT.

...Which means, the only one I can ask is Paizo. I want to buy this, I just don't want to buy it twice.

Announced for March! Product image and description are not final and may be subject to change.

I love these short APs, especially with different character levels. Keep them coming Paizo!

Dear Paizo, please put out a lot more shorter adventures (like Slithering and Plaguestone), super extra bonus points to get them onto Roll20.

This format works great for our group, either between APs, or when we have a long break where we can't get the full group together.. plus they're just great.

Let's just assume for the moment that we're adults who've been friends for 30 years who like a little role-playing and not jerks who just met.

He's been hiding this ability for a long time (or using it in secret), afraid of what people would think. There's been a lot of bad clerics around lately.

Personally, I cheered the use, and there was no better time. We ended the session with an in-game dirty look across the now quiet battlefield. A heck of a battle it was too.

Oh, and the GM had my intelligent sword very upset at the use of a negative channel.

In this case, it had a fats heal.... so I'm unsure ho that applies. Would that normally (I used the word loosely) apply?

I know RotRL was made for 4 PCs, but has anyone run the first module with 5 PCs? Did you have to make any adjustments?

I've got all newbies, so for the moment I'm counting on needing to make too many adjustments as they muddle through a new system and make mistakes.

The scenario:

Let's say a quick witted rogue ends up on the back of a flying Drake, and the Drake wants to get rid of said rider on his turn by flying through some trees.

In this scenario, we ended up with a fly check… but thinking back on it, I think I should have made it some sort of combat maneuver.

________

The questions:

Does this constitute a ride (or fly I guess) check? What kind of DC does one give that?

Or does is this a combat maneuver for the Drake - akin to breaking a grapple. (and what modifiers apply?)

________

My thoughts:

The combat maneuver feels more appropriate to me, because it give the drake an active part in his turn. Modifiers should probably be for relative size of rider to flyer, and also what kind of terrain he has to scrape the rider off onto. The rider's fly (or ride) skill could be a negative modifier also.

Thoughts?
