I have a crazy thought. Don't like it? leave it alone. This game is not all about numbers you know. If you wan't to get bogged down in the number side of the game, go ahead. Just let people choose what they want. I mean it won't spoil your game will it?

My party is about to go up against some (or rather, what we assume to be some), and I'm wondering about how to deal with them.

The party is a half-giant ranger (loosely based on Dreamscarred Press'), an Aasimar Paladin, and my summoner (who can give my summons teamwork feats).

We're doing Kingmaker, if that helps out.

We just leveled up to 5, so I'm thinking of taking Glitterdust as my next spell. I was going to take it eventually anyways.

My current plan is head back to base, spend a month and try to buy 3 scrolls of Resist Energy. Then throw some flour / glitterdust on the thing and have the brut-- teammates grapple and whack.

Current spells of interest: grease, enlarge person, protection from evil, create pit, haste.

No spoilers please!

I know you're saying no spoilers, but what you're asking is it not spoiling the game? I mean wont it be lessening the fun of the encounter, knowing how to gain an advantage of an enemy by asking on a forum without trying for yourself?

Maybe you have more of a relaxed gaming session, but to me asking how to deal with an enemy on a forum is the equivalent of looking up a walkthrough guide to how to defeat a boss. It would just rob me a sense of an achievement.

Best thing i can say is to come up with a few ideas which it seems you have done already, and try them. A lot of fun that comes with this game is fighting the unknown and trying stuff out

I have two questions the first is this.

I am standing next to a wizard with a ready to hit him if he casts spells. the wizard decides to cast. what happens first my ready or the aoo. and if it is the ready does he test for spell failure right away? or do I still get the aoo.

the second question. if I ready to move next to him if he starts casting a spell do I still get the aoo?

The way i see it. Your ready would be the aoo. Would be unfair if you got two attacks in.

I would say no, you would have to be next to him when he starts to cast, not mid cast.

Last night, I replaced a villain from CoT: Mother of Flies with a ninja. The following playtest contains spoilers for one encounter in PA#29. Players of that campaign, or potential players, are discouraged from reading it if you have not yet gone passed that book. I'd also request that my players not read this, just in case. ;-)

** spoiler omitted **...

Good write up, i enjoyed it. It does seem to be a pattern with the ninja which I'm liking. Absolutely deadly when he is in control, but when exposed. It's like a wizard in melee all advantage gone(Of course he as other stuff up his sleeve, literally)
