Sounds possible. Benadryl + anti-epilectic is what you're doing right now, yes?

Anti-epilectic (oxycarbazine, spelling might be off) is the only seizure med I take. I don't really need the NyQuil, but my brain gets too active when I try to sleep. I've even tried to isolate myself before bed, no stimulation (no Urizen), read a book and relax.
Doesn't help. I'll wake up like 3 hours later and be up all night.

Ah, Trileptal. Cool. Side effects can be funky, but here's hoping it picks up in the seizure surpression department. I suggest you check out benadryl for sleeping, it's what most of the people I know who have to deal with seizures or anxiety use to get some zzz's.

Yeah, I usually stop doing hits of Urizen around 8 if I want to get to sleep at all that night....
What? Why is everyone looking at me like that?

Do you already have the frost longbow, or just getting it? If the later, I imagine you'd get more mileage out of corrosive instead of frost.

Try to aim for the belt that boost all three physical stats if at all possible. Also, where is your melee weapon? You will be in melee combat eventually.

It's the +1 handaxe I took from your hoard. And I wanted to boost all 3, but then I wouldn't have my shiny bow...

That really bites, and I'm sure it's even more complicated than that. The running joke with my daughter and her kids is that it's her job to mess up her own kids now, and I mind my own business. ;) I joke of course; I think my daughter and son in law are very good parents, but it really sucks when it feels like your extended family is kind of working against you.

Put my vote in. And after 360 ballots, Pathfinder already has over 50% of the votes. Yeah!

I feel your pain. It looks like I'll be seeing the dentist in the beginning of the New Year. Daddy Blue is going to have a tooth, or two, or three removed.

When one has their wisdom teeth removed, what does that do to their corresponding ability score? Hmm....

You might want to consider a small number of specialty arrows just in case.

Actually, anything involving Thai, I'd have to defer to our resident professor. Once he returns from his holiday sabbatical, that is.

The only time you need them you'll have forgotten to pack them. I wasn't too impressed with weapon blanch for melee weapons, but arrows (and bolts/shuriken) are essentially one shots anyway.

+3 counts as cold iron and silver.

Actually, as Mr. Franklin pointed out earlier to me, a +3 weapon counts as cold iron and silver for bypassing DR.
I didn't know either until a few hours ago. Weird, huh?
