Here is something I'd like to know: This takes place in the Manga Wastes, why is there nothing started here that any magic the party casts has a percentage of being wild and unpredictable? I am about to run this adventure and I know one of the players at my table has an insane damage snowball spell and it being the Mana Wastes, could it be possible to keep fun at the table for all the players, to make something unpredictable happen with spells?

Well, I have made a reputation in my area as "The PC Grinder." The players have dubbed me this, but all I do is put myself in the role of the monsters and think, what would they do... And when your players want to waste time doing too much prepping for the battle or planning in between rounds, you have to step it up. I put the optional encounter in there a few rounds early to spice things up, but it was the final boss who did the killing, the optional encounter killed only one PC, a sorcerer in the rear, lol.
I ran this scenario about a month ago, I had 6 players at the table. In the end they all failed the mission, 4 of the PC's died and one was brought to negative HP but due to being strapped to his riding dog he survived, and the last player was a gnome who hid in a pile of dead tengu. Needless to say, it was the first time I had to describe the village being slaughtered by the tengu, including the unborn child. All in all, a fun encounter indeed.
In The Society Scenario "Tide of Twilight" I see this wonder affliction happen to the PC's as the venture deeper into the forest, but I have one simple question about this "Bestial Simple Template". That is can they still use their weapons and shields and cast spells? I see where they gain a bit and two claw attacks. I also see where it gives examples of the types of animals they "hybid-form" to, but I want to know it they still could use their standard equipment.
You know, I know this is an older post, but I have a cleric of Pharasma who is using the domains of Death and Repose (with the subdomain Souls). And this is a society char, so I am CN of course. That being said, I channel positive energy to heal my allies and use the death domain as a way to punish those who would bring the dead back to life. I also play him as a coward unless there is something akin to undead around. He then feels as if he is filled with the power of pharasma to destroy all undead and those who control the undead, and will use Death and Repose to bring forth these unholy abominations to death!
