I find the scenario hard to believe.

Most love equates to agreement in alignment. Most likely scenario is pally pc claims to be in love and complications are quickly devised by DM (afterwards) because for some strange reasons DMs think all paladins should be put into some sort of no win situation.

Wait, what? Well, crap, I guess I've played pretty much every relationship I've ever DM'd or roleplayed wrong, because I almost never put two people of the same exact alignment together. Thanks for correcting me!

That's always a fun joke. :)

I think it's actually a lot more powerful if you DON'T let him reroll and he has to adventure with no ki pool until he atones, actually.

Bah! Then the swine would probably just take levels in another class for the rest of his career. That's no punishment.


The lesson is infinitely more poignant if the player has to re-roll.

Besides, I'm mostly being facetious.

I'd probably just laugh aloud for an awkwardly long time and then suddenly deliver a deadpan "No."


Half-fiend wizard final boss with a half-fiend barbarian/frenzied berserker bodyguard.

The Wizard disintegrated a nigh-bottomless cylindrical pit into the floor.

The Monk grappled the wizard and flung both himself and the wizard into the pit to their mutually assured destruction.

Monks are forever okay in my book.


As BQ points out, the Whirlwind Attack feat chain is pure feat tax nonsense. It has never made sense, and I'm sad that Paizo brought it into Pathfinder intact. Beyond that, however, all of the other feat chains, especially those stemming from Improved Unarmed Strike and Power Attack, are useful and fun at all of their respective stages.


And nothing of value was lost...
Really, most of the PRCs in 3.x were just silly. If it doesn't change the way a build normally functions, such as hybrid casters or letting Barbarians cover themselves in ice simply by raging a la Frostrager, then it really shouldn't be a prestige class.


Because a Fighter hulking out with the Cursed Sword of Berserking is truly a sight to behold.


Were I GMing, any Monk attempting to have a "simple" amulet of mighty striking would pretty much immediately receive a "simple" visit from Tiamat or other unstoppable force of destruction.


My group will reduce Cardanalith the elf to "Carl" instantly. It's especially funny when one of us names our PC something long that we think is cool, only to have the guy sitting right next to that player go "Yeah, whatever, Phil."
