OK, so i know that I'm a little late into the conversation, but telling blow does absolutely nothing.

I will now just simply copy pasta is so people can understand and see for themselves everything and put this entire debate to rest.

PHB2[page83]: TELLING BLOW: When you score a critical hit against a target, you deal your skirmish or sneak attack damage in "addition" to
the damage from your critical hit. Your critical multiplier
applies only to your normal damage, not your skirmish or
sneak attack damage.

Seems pretty simple yes?

PHB1[page140]: Extra damage over and above a weapon’s normal damage,
such as that dealt by a sneak attack or the special ability of a flaming
sword, is not "multiplied" when you score a critical hit.

From how I see it worded, they literally had forgotten their own ruling in their previous book that when you crit you then add the sneak attack damage after it and you dont need a feat to add that damage to your crits.

thank you for the help, this might be pretty much everything ive been looking for

I just realized that I misspelled paralyzed . . any way to fix that?

Thanks. I'll give that a try

I literally have nothing aside from dice as I have just found pathfinder, and I also dont even know how to add items to a wishlist. All in all, I'd love to get into pathfinder more.

Would really like some help or insight. I currently do not know how create a character for the database, would be hard without a core rule book, and I'm not particularly sure how I would go about adding in a session that the pre made character I had played onto the new character that I wish to make.

TL;DR: I played pathfinder for the first time at a convention and would like to look more into it and maybe get into contact with the people at the table that were playing.

Last weekend I went to a convention(A-kon) and was wandering around in the gaming room after playing a game of D&D4e. I have had previous experience with 3.5 edition, but playing 4e was almost like playing a foreign game to me. Sure there were some aspects of D&D that I was familiar with but all in all it just didn't seem like the game that I knew and loved. I came across this marvelous table top game that had some miniatures on it and was awestruck when I happened to have glanced at someone's character sheet. Immediately I noticed that it was almost line for line and letter for letter the character sheet that I was familiar with and just had to ask what game they were playing and why it seemed so similar. Sitting down at the table right when someone rage quit because they were walking into melee range with a wizard against a shambling mound; I started talking to the man who owned the character. Now I'm not truly the best when it comes to recollection and for the life of me I can not remember the name of the kind gentleman, (one person at the tables character name was Coldahara, not sure if spelling is correct)and they introduced me to the game, gave me a pre-reg character, who happened to be a cleric, the class that I would say I'm probably the most acquainted with. And after that starting off with 17 hit points and everyone at less then 50% "saved the day"(not particularly but would have been a tpk if i hadn't started spam channeling). We continued on with "The Dog Pharaoh's Tomb" and I'd have to say that I quite enjoy the game very much. Until I stood too close to the fighter against the mummy at the end of the module and got paralized which wasnt fun at all(hind-sight I should have stood 5 more feet behind him). At this point I think I'm rambling on. Long story short, I would very much like to get more into Pathfinder, and if at all possible come into contact again with the gents who introduced me to the game. All I have is a wooden coin, a chronicle certificate, and the gms pathfinder society #.
