Thanks Lilly. I appreciate it


What about suggesting that the last 5 minutes or whatever were unremarkable. I can't remember exactly what happened every second of every hour, mostly because I don't remember what isn't exceptional. Then after the spell expires, the memory has already faded because it wasn't special enough to remember. Would that kind of suggestion work?


Real Life Backstory History:
I'm co-dm and rules guide in a pathfinder game with very inexperienced players; we have two players new to gaming, three who are familiar with tabletops if not Pathfinder, myself who haven't played a game aside from this one despite reading hours of material, and the dm who hasn't played since AD&D. We've been having a good time and managed to muddle through everything despite all the rules and encounter confusion, but I think I've hit my limit. We've been playing without a primary caster to avoid getting into magic rules along with just playing rules and they are my weakest area.

We're coming up to a potential big bad whose hoard has been "attacking" the human fort because they were running from something worse. There's a chance to ally with her and bypass the battle if we choose to help her with the threat to her hoard. To that end I'm looking for a goblin oracle of about level 13 with the fire mystery and not the deaf or blind curses who fills the following constraints:


  • Must have options and advice to ramp up and down in difficulty (we have poor optimization in the group but the dm has been extremely generous with loot, with our inexperience both playing and running has lots of curbstomp battles and one near TPK in the training wheels segment)
  • Preferably with some advice on how to run, especially with respect to when to cast which spells
  • Something easier to run is preferred

It would also be helpful to have some advice on what pitfalls to avoid when using a primary caster as this is our first real encounter with magic being used beyond Lay on Hands or Channel Energy. Thanks for your help.
