Thank you

This may be a stupid question but since it might come up in a session, would Wail of the Banshee be considered a fear spell as well even though fear is not listed or potentially referenced?

I want to hug whomever created this. It may actually be used rather quickly.

I understand Kalindlara. I have been on enough group trips and mission trips that I am used to sleeping on the floor if needed and sometimes prefer the floor to sharing a bed with someone my size. Plus, I move enough in my sleep that I may go straight for the floor anyways. The issues for me would be someone jacking/messing with my stuff and not being able to get the ability to shower and other bathroom stuff before or after each day.

But for the price, I may have to roll the dice if you will on the hotel mates for 4 nights.

@Arcwin: The rule, as cited in a similar thread a while back, was that, if the GM or Organizer announces a game for X number of people, whether that is 4, 5, 6 or 7, they have the right to only seat X number of people at their table.

So, what I have seen, frequently, is that some GMs will, for Season 0-3 and modules and AP segments, post a hard limit of either 4 or 5 players. Mainly because these games are designed to handle 4 PCs, not 6.

The same GMs will, frequently, bump the limit up to 6 for Season 4 and later scenarios, but that is because those games are designed to handle 6 PCs.

Oftentimes, in my experience, too many players at a table can cause unintentional issues, whether it is someone never getting to act in any combat, or someone not getting heard over the general noise level. And those can affect even online or home games, where the GM and players are the general noise level.

As a GM, I prefer not to GM 7 player tables, it tends to do bad things to everyone's' fun, including mine. As a player, I have been known to give up my seat if we wind up with a 7 player table.

BTW, to the VOs: I GM PFS, not as a representative of Paizo, but because the PFS scenarios are usually short, quick, inexpensive, and cover the problems I have with world-building; amd, also, because there was, when I started doing it, very little other PFS available, other than the now-moribund monthly Game Days and defunct annual gaming convention.

In other words, if I didn't do it, no one was. Our original VC jumped on the site and day I was doing, and helped pump up attendance, and find some alternate GMs. When he stopped being VC, things slowed down for my game day at the FLGS again.

New VC, I think he bit off more than he could chew. Assigned multiple VLs, not sure if any of them were supposed to coordinate with the shop I GM at. Nothing very visible from him.

Third VC, he did more, while he could. Tried to get PFS going at some of the other local conventions, not much local response. Life came up and bit...

Thank you and the others who more often than not GM on a primary basis, whether wanting to or not.

Self auditing can be very helpful. Found a mistake twice on my main on two separate times.

There is a kid who plays in our area that has questionable totals sometimes when rolling attack or damage but his dad is reliable to help audit how his son got the total he came up with.

I have not been full blown audited in being asked to hand over the character sheet, the chronicle sheets, or both. When my fighter was in his last scenario before lvl 12, the gm did ask for an explanation on how my fighter's ac was so high (33 AC). I willingly explained

I also like the first Dragonheart movie with Connery voicing the Dragon.

As stated before, Black Death with Sean Bean and The 13th Warrior are two that are often overlooked but good, if not great.

I also like Arnold's Conan the Barbarian. I can enjoy the remake due to the red head (i have a thing for beautiful red heads) but I prefer the original even if it's not as true to Conan mythology.

First off, sorry about that happening. It can happen to us all. My first pfs scenario, I ended up dropping twice but fortunately never died.

I have seen scenarios where things are written into the scenario in a way that can end in a pc being outright slaughtered, if things go a certain way. For experienced players, I do usually go by how the scenario is written, including moral. For new players, I have fudged some rolls to make it not as mean (I have about 5 or 6 crits that were regular hits due to new player with low hp during combat).

If you do make another pc, I do advise at least a 12 constitution. I usually go with 14 with my characters. Since you can retrain your character once it hits level 2, you could add toughness as a 1st lvl feat to gain 3 extra hp during lvl 1 scenarios.

275. People who hate the fighter class.

276. People who play melee characters as mindless murderhobo drones.

Don't get to be high level characters with low con scores.

This warning brought to you by Constitution. Everyone's second favorite date to the prom.

What's a suitable CON score?

12 at the very least. I recommend 14 as your very least for a con score.

But the Waking Run is the best.

And easiest while playing a lvl 7 pregen on 10 to 11 sub-tier. I promise (37 Bluff check). :D

The funny part for me is I have 2 characters that just happen to be essentially core only. Well... They were Core only almost through their entire career. The one learned a non-CRB spell and feat at level 9 the other has purchased some minor non-CRB magic items.

But both would have been perfectly viable without those few non-CRB things.

I think it is amusing the number of people that claim X is impossible, hopeless, or unplayable without all the books. MOST for the PFS scenarios just aren't so tough that they require tweaking to the nth degree.

For me, it is not the case of having to optimize or over build due to scenarios being hard, it is that some people I have played with either have had horrible builds that are never beneficial or the player himself is of no benefit. It is more of a I want to be able to survive half the party being bad. Because some of the people I play with do similar builds to not just survive but thrive, we end up with overpowering parties.

Rocking the boat is too simple and cute like. I prefer to nuke the boat.

The next poster has a front row seat, right next to the nuke.

With those stats, I would have asked if I could move any of them. If not, I play a cleric and make the most of it. You can easily build around those stats and not be a whiny female dog. Yes, the first few levels may be tough but that is why you let the tanks be your meat shields as you channel and heal your way through the low levels.

I would never play with this type of troll in a homegame. I do play pfs with people here and there that are annoying but I can accept it every now and then with pfs. In a homegame where it is the same people over and over, that type of stuff wouldn't happen or one of us is no longer coming. I am not meaning to be a sore loser but I would warn him once to stop and if he continues, either kick him out or leave.

What we truly need to take a look at is the broadside of a barn because some builds have trouble even hitting the broadside of a barn.

Saw a guy in a pfs encounter get all excited for getting his fist crit on a lvl 2 character and possibly rolling double digits. Rolls three 1s with no strength for a whopping 3 damage. He was pissed.

I love playing fighters because I like playing a tank. But I will admit, depending on how one plans to build the melee PC, other classes might be a better choice. A 2 weapon fighter in medium armor is better off as a full ranger (more skills along with other bonuses). But fights can be built to be very lethal in their own right.

Ban everything but halfling fighters whom dump physical stats and fight with daggers.

Master of the Fallen fortress could be a really good scenario. It is combat heavy and offers a bit of lot of what a pc is going to encounter during combat and out of combat to give an idea of what to prepare for as the pc takes on more missions.

Problem for it that you have to be lvl 1 for credit. Can give credit for these lvl 1 encounters/modules to a lvl 2 pc once.

At the encounter I GMed at a convention, we somehow got onto a running joke referencing the "they're taking the Hobbits to Isengard" video.

So anytime a pc got lower than a 10 on perception, they would somehow be hearing that song in the dungeon.
