I am running a campaign... its a group of chars generally good to good neutral alligned..

we have an issue that we will be resolving shortly:

one member in the party was dominated by an aboleth. another member (master summoner) has 6 sharks summoned (the fight is underwater) surrounding the party member. a third member (cleric) cast protection from evil on dominated member.. he fails his save so is still dominated his last order was to attack party. he attacks the summoner (who was right next to him.. kills said summoner (or even doesnt) the sharks have been directed previous to the protection from evil to attack dominated party member.

the question: does the protection from evil stop the sharks natural attacks from striking the dominated party member?

Cool. But undermany shot it says that strength damage and other types of damage except for damage such as sneak attack do apply?

Does many shot work with rapid shot? And can I also use vital strike with many strike. And does deadly aim work for both shots on the many shot?

Thanks

Ok now try this example:

What if you are by yourself, your 7th level. The only table available to play (and you have a ticket for it) is a tier 1 because every one of the higher tiers are full. Do you turn me away? The option there is to play a pregen or create a new char. Is that fair? I don't think so. Where as an alternative is to play the pregen and get the credit on your 7th lvl. That seems fair.

That sounds clearer. So here's the deal: The player "Chuck" has a 6th level PC. He may not play a Tier 1-5 scenario with that PC. That is what is referred to as "out of tier". Say all his friends are "within tier" (e.g. between levels 1-5). Chuck wants to play with his friends. He has two options. Option One, he can use a 4th level pre-gen and play for no credit in tier 4-5. Option Two, he can create a new 1st level PC and play to receive a Chronicle sheet for that character. So there is an option for Chuck to get credit.

The reason Chuck can't have any credit for playing the 4th level pre-gen is that pre-gens can't be advanced or altered. Pre-gens are throw-away characters meant to be used stictly for fun. There's a whole other conversation we could have about this, but the simplest answer is that if you want a Chronicle sheet then you need to make a new PC.

Ok so what if the mod is a 1-7 and chuck Is in tier but the guy mustering is saying you can't play with your friends cause you are too high lvl so you have to play a pregen. Cause a 1st would be too LOW then. And is creating a char when an event has to be done within "x" amount of time a viable solution? I understand why you wouldn't want to give a chronicle sheet out but when I pay to play an adventure and I want to play it with my friends but am told I have to use a pregen because I'm to high/low and then penalized by not getting credit...

Btw I am just bringing this up because I saw alot of pregens used at Gencon. And what if I were new to the game? Why not let the guy use a pregen then after the game sit with the new person create a new 1st lvl an give him the chronicle for the tier appropriate to his new char. That way you encourage new people to play which is the goal right?

I'm not sure if I understand the question. It sounds like you guys are doing something agaist the rules the way your post reads. Before everyone jumps all over this, can you rephrase the question and give us some more details? It would help identify the problem. Thanks!

Me and two friends played an event at Gencon. One of my friends' character was a higher level then the tier the table was being run at. I believe we we 4-5 and he is 6th. He was told that in order for him to play with us he would have to play a pregen char.

The question: if a person is required to play a pregen to fit the tier of the table because their char is too high lvl or (in my case at another event, to low) can that person receive the chronicle sheet for the adventure to apply to their char.

Thanks!

Edit: I think it was a 3-4 table because I was 3rd and one friend 5 and another 6th

Hello all,
Had a great time at Gencon played in a few of the modules. Came across an issue: me and some friends wanted to play the modules we played together. Unfortunately at the time my char was 4 one friend was 5 and our other buddy was 6 our higher lvl friend had to use a pregen in order to play with us. Not a big deal, but when something like that happen or when the only table available is at a different tier it would be nice to get a chronical sheet to apply to your character. I can understand the need to make sure the chars are within tier but provision should be made when you have to choose a pregen to play at that table.

Thanks
