I kill 100% of my players 100% of the time, immediately.

That is, whenever I get a chance to run my favorite game, Wraith: The Oblivion.

Other than that, our groups lean more heavily toward the style of the original poster (with the inclusion of the occasional heroic sacrifice). Even though death in game terms is relatively easy to overcome, for some reason no one in our group really feels comfortable with it. Most would rather make a new character than play one who has already died.

Which may be why I so rarely get to run my beloved Wraith games.


My first reaction while reading the Hunter's "Animal Focus" ability was this:

Again, you actually can't use spell combat without a melee weapon in hand.

To use this ability, the magus must have one hand free, while wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon in the other hand.

It's RAW, but it doesn't make sense from a logical standpoint. For flavor's sake, take for instance a fighter that focuses on natural attacks as opposed to crafted weapons, or a sorcerer/magus with the abyssal or draconic bloodlines. Should natural attacks be inferred by the phrase "held weapon," or should the RAW be taken literally? This is definitely a rule point we'd like to see clarified.

Spell Combat seems pretty lopsided anyway; I'm looking for the thread addressing it specifically.
