Yes, but you can't go WITHOUT somebody watching either...

If the multiverse turns out to be true, I'm going to have to apologize to a lot of dead cats...

Goats and cats both always seem to want to climb to the highest spots they can reach.

Maybe cats and goats are the same thing, but you can't find out unless you open the box...

I'm both.

Until you read it, he both posted and didn't post...

Until I posted this, the thread was simultaneously dead and alive.

It's a trick question. The baby is both alive and dead.

Ugh. Anyone ever have to clean up after a quantum dog? That's the worst... it's a wave and a particle...

Alternatively, the nature of reality could be contingent on the narrative framework with which an observer approaches it. Expect Standard Model particles? All your experiments show Standard Model particles. Expect elemental planes? Your wizardry shows elemental planes.

The wave function collapses in weirder ways than we can imagine... or perhaps it collapses as we imagine.

Or will you?

Until Monday, we have to assume you are both here and gone.

Look at it this way.

If all real-world physics (atomic stuff, specifically) were present in Pathfinder, a spell like Reduce Person would hit everyone around the target with lethal doses of radiation. That mass has to go somewhere.

Similar issues with Enlarge Person or Polymorph spells that increase size. That mass has to come from somewhere, and then has to return once the duration is over.

Ah, but if there are other planes, and those planes can be represented as additional axes in a space-time graph (Z', Z", Z"' and so forth), then couldn't the extra matter/energy be routed along, say, the Z' axis during the casting of a spell. Which could correspond to, possibly, the Abyss. Which would explain why demons are so angry and fire immune.

I love science!

On the other hand, if quantum principles apply, couldn't it be argued that a failed Perception check would mean no surprise round? This could literally save millions of PC lives a year!

As long as no one reads this post, I will have won this thread. And lost it. So no one read this post.

AHHH! MY WAVE FUNCTION! IT COLLAPSED!

Great. You've ruined everything, reader.

If anyone needs me, I'll be in my box... or will I?

I once critically succeeded and critically failed on the same die roll. Until the GM saw the result...
