I've been playing pathfinder and Dungeons and Dragons for 15 years now. For the past few years I've been a GM. But, I have one friend for the past 2 solid campaigns that I have made as GM, has been neglected while playing. He does not min max, or anything bad, he just make characters that from the beginning that has already reach their goals and does not have any future plans for them. I will take the full blame. It's my fault to not ask him how he is, what his character wants, or observer his actions and take them seriously. The past three sessions he was painting his models on the side. As a group we played as much as we get off topic and joke around, so I did not think that this was a problem with level 2-3 characters when things where less involved with the group as a whole and each player does there own little mission. Meanwhile, my friend just drinks and sharpens his weapons, until he is needed by the whole group. I threw two minor solo encounters his way and they where optional. Also I did have one none important adventure that requires the party to be involved and his character would be the star of it. But, his character turned down the encounters and the party was against him on doing the adventure. After today's game that was complete down time for the party and the session was over he confronted me. He pointed out that most of the time that he plays a campaign of mine one third of each session is almost involved of his character actually doing something. The rest is given to everyone else, and he just sits there. I asked him for one more chance to prove myself. What can I do for a home brew campaign in a dwarven kingdom campaign, for six level 4 players?

Hello everyone, I need some help.

I have plans for a new Pathfinder campaign coming up, and I want to bring back the old D&D trial. This trial means the character is already dead and wants to comes back to life. Unfortunately, I forgot which book it came from; It could be from the Orginal, Advanced or even Second Edition, Dungeons and Dragons.

This Trial had several challenges; one was a maze filled with mirrors, and the character was on a time crunch before the portal closes and for each mirror that broke the character took damage no matter what. Another had a hidden beholder trapped somewhere that the character COULD fight or miss completely and several other crazy encounters.

It was like the mini quest for players that did not want to make a new character, and the character would be permanently dead if he or she fails. Also if the character is an atheist they cannot do the trial at all, I think.

If anyone knows what it is was called, which book or edition it was from, I would be grateful.
Thank you.
