Then this is absolutely zero problem. Seriously, draw a three-foot diameter circle on the ground, get two buddies and one of their kids or nephews, and stand in a huddle. You can happily sit on the edge of the disk, if you don't like to hug; the disk can hold 250 lbs per person - the paladin is the only one iffy here, and the other three probably come in well below that, giving him some extra weight.

We did exactly that. The GM later found a 40in circle at work and asked the four of us to sit on it. With just our four bodies it seems reasonable, but think of a paladin wearing plate, the others with their armor, backpacks, equipment, weapons and a disk 4in smaller in diameter and things seem a little less sure.

We have had a spirited discussion within our group about the realistic ability of a floating disc to carry 4 humanoids and their equipment. We have 3 humans (paladin, monk and rogue) and a halfling (barbarian). The four of them are trying to sit on this 3ft disk with their equipment and travel across river a half-a-mile wide during a torrential rainstorm. I as a paladin said this wouldn't be possible and was afraid to get on the disk because of risk of falling in the river and drowning. The wizard insisted we could do it safely and grew angry saying we were questioning his magical ability. In the end we tied a rope around all four of us and rode the disk across. Still I don't think it should have been possible...do you?


I am trying to get a Pathfinder game together through a meetup group in my area. There are really no games shops that I want to play at, so I am thinking of having the players come to my house. All of the players I have talked with “seem” safe and non-threatening. Am I asking for my wife and I to be killed or do you think it is a relatively safe proposition?
