Live prisoners should be rescued and setting them on fire is a horrendous act of evil. The paladin is fully justified in subduing the sorcerer and taking her prisoner.

Out of game this might cause tension but the sorcerer player is the one who created the incident and if she's going to become irrational and act radically out-of-character whenever the game is not keeping her fully entertained then she needs to shape up or leave the group.

If the player argues that she was acting in character and that her character was always capable of great evil then she bears responsibility for 1) choosing to journey with a paladin and 2) choosing to manifest great evil in his presence knowing full well that he would have to bring her to justice or kill her if necessary.


Though simpler, the 4e rules create weird distancing effects. A guy charging 8 squares straight covers 40 feet. A guy charging 8 squares diagonal covers 60 feet. Interesting. Think of what bizarre spatial distortions must exist for this to be the case. Space in the 4e universe must be polarized, impeding movement in the straight but speeding it in the diagonal as if all diagonal movement were downhill and faster. 4e is an experiment in spatial anomolies. Perhaps 4e space is curved, but the curves flow in microcosmic waves that are aligned to the diagonal grid?

Very excited by this. I'd really like to see a non-random sales model. When I buy minis, I buy them with certain adventures and encounters in mind. I don't need random, I need specific. I tend to buy all my minis individually from the sites that bust open the boxes and sell them individually. But I always notice that the re-sale sites have dozens of certain common minis available and never enough mooks like goblins and orcs. I don't mind paying more for bigger and rarer (i.e., less frequently encountered and, thus, less in demand) critters.

I do the same. It was easier back around 2005 when you could find guys selling lots of 10 orcs at a time on Ebay. I bought a horde of orcs and goblins that way and use them often. I have often wondered why none of the miniature companies ever wised up and realized that there was a market for non-random packages of orcs or goblins. Even if they'd been a brown plastic with no paint, I still would've been buying the little buggers if I could've bought them aplenty.

Oops, I overlooked that last line. Another small change from 3.5 that's caught me out *sigh*. Well you have your answer ;)

Easy to do. That answers my question. Glad you guys had this discussion.


I hate that the Cowboys lost. At least I can take some comfort in that the OKC Thunder destroyed Cleveland tonight with a 29 point lead.

I also much prefer physical books to PDfs so this is a treat for me when anything that got revised is put out in a book that I can buy and hold in my hands.

I agree, especially since I prefer to keep the laptops away from the gaming table. They are an ever present temptation to players to check email or the Paizo messageboards while a game is in progress.


I must say, I'm enjoying these PF volumes.


Dear Mr. Jacobs

We are still using 3.5 in my group but one friend would like to switch to Pathfinder. I've been purchasing the Pathfinder books but since I've spent much $ building up a 3.5 library I have so far been unwilling to make the switch. My friend tells me that since Pathfinder is backwards compatible only a little work would be required in using 3.5 material in the Pathfinder game.

My question is, do you still use material from any 3.5 sources, and if so, how much time would you typically be spending converting stats and mechanics and such?

Thanks.

I loves me some Erik Satie and Phillip Glass, and some Holst! Awesome stuff.

I love Glass and am always happy to recognize his style in some new feature film. Love Holst of course. Satie I am unfamiliar with but upon your recommendation will check him out.
