Yesss!!! Thank you all who worked to make this happen for giving newbie writers a chance to write content for people beyond their own tables! The presentation of the magazine is amazing and totally professional-quality, and all the artists did stunning work!
I apologize if this is inappropriate, but how would you feel about simply not answering people who post questions about the same issue over and over without taking your responses to heart?
Let's say you try to cast a spell where the target is invalid. At what point does the spell fail in the below situations? Does the spell not even start, or is it expended without any actual effect? When a spell fails for this reason, is it obvious to the caster why it failed, or does it seem to be the same as if the target succeeded their saving throw? 1) Undead disguised as a living human, targeted by Charm Person
Generally, most ways that turn you undead also specify that your alignment becomes evil, whether it's templates or being recreated as a specific undead creature. There aren't any rules that I know of regarding alignment shifts for good creatures that became evil undead to shift back to good, but it is something I'd allow. It isn't really stated to be a hard rule that undead always have to be evil - ghosts are a notable exception as there have been non-evil ghosts in Paizo content. I don't think you will find any RAW rules to answer your latest questions, except that RAW most creatures become evil after being made into undead and would therefor lose abilities and class features that depend on alignment and the following of good edicts such as paladins and good clerics. I have always ruled it that the trauma of dying "corrupts" the mind into becoming evil, but it is possible to shift back to good. One in world example of the philosophy behind this is that many people who have had experiences from dying and being resuscitated report feeling utterly at peace while dead and being reluctant and even angry at being brought back to life. In PF terms, I interpret this as the soul accepting being moved on to the next stage, and becoming twisted and resentful when a necromancer rips them back into their corpse as an intelligent undead.
zza ni is correct, as far as I can tell. The rules clarifications from Occult Adventures regarding possession might help for future interactions. Mostly all you have to worry about are Supernatural abilities that aren't from your class.
What was the best advice you got when you first starting writing TTRPG content professionally?
Are there any obscure fantasy or horror books you like that you think should be more well known?
Hey James. Are there any plans on adding Deep Ones or Deep One Hybrids into 2e? And possibly a Deep One Hybrid ancestry?
Not as confusing as your spelling.
In the lobby (D1) section of Fort Hailcourse, it is said that Melisenn slew the mercenaries inside the fort and raised them as Juju zombies. Yet she isn't a high enough level Cleric for Create Undead. She also seems to lack a way to control the intelligent undead mercenaries, who likely aren't pleased they've been killed. How is this explained? |
