Using it as a people opener however…would count as assault at the very least.
“An assault is committed when a person intentionally or recklessly causes another to apprehend the immediate infliction of unlawful force.” - Section 39 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988

Ugh. Public apology to lisamarlene time, and why I should take at least a week to respond to anything Whingey Wizard writes me about: I mentioned her in the e-mail. I can guarantee he'll give her the third degree.
Feel free to send him back my way, LM, and profuse apologies.
I should know better than to send anything in less than 3 days. The man brings out the worst in me.
My quote was inaccurate enough to cause her grief: I said, "GothBard, Shiro, LM, and I remember it this way," when in fact my believe is that LM only confirmed that she knew there'd been a second sending, if that. Don't set people up to have to defend your point of view unless they volunteer. Needless to say both Shiro and GothBard are chomping at the bit to tell him, "That is EXACTLY what you said!", and when I asked them, my question was, "Can you give me the exact quote of what his response was?" rather than, "Did he say xxx?", so I feel I'm in quite a strong position, and I have no right whatsover to put LM on the spot.
So again, public apologies, LM, I'd delete the e-mail if I could, but instead I'll say tell him whatever makes him leave you alone on the whole issue, and I'll take the heat for it.

Is anyone having trouble finishing the dungeon runs in hearthstone? My best was 7/8 with a pally deck. My brother managed to do it with priest on his first try using anduin shadow priest and lots of spells.
Again I don't do arena so my deck drafting skillz just aren't there. I just follow established deck recipes and tweak them a little.
So far so good, I've beaten the first five bosses with a mostly-totem shaman. *knock on wood*
I look for value, and synergies that I know to work.
In what way do you tweak the recipes?

Like madness and magic old gods recipe I took out yogg souron for too much randomness, and took out the loot hoarders and spell slingers(I felt that it is not good to give opponent spells) and added in faceless summoner for board presence and arcane golem for late game push.

Yeah, today we faced an undead BBEG. I had a high initiative, walked up, hit his touch AC with an 18 on the die, blew through his SR with a 19 on the die, and then his 6 on the die failed his Will save. 130 points later, BBEG never got an action in the round, nor did the low-initiative fighter of Gorum.
Nuked the BBEG, got yelled at by everybody.
Sucks to be the healer.
EDIT: Oh, and Trevor died again, but by this point I don't think anyone's paying attention any more.

So far he hasn't mentioned it, and I'm sure as hell not going to bring it up myself.
He has already implied that it's my fault that everyone accuses him of whinging.

Tell me about my ROTR player run playing an archer cleric of Erastil. I told them, I ain't healing you till you're down cos I've got better use of my turns. Queue all the melee dudes charging ahead(and taking AOOs because of large) to whack some ogres then wondering where I was(once they were on low hp) when they all left behind on a mound since I wasn't budging shooting ogres.
My sympathies, NH. I tend to play divine casters since it's easier to get into games that way, and I don't care about whether it's arcane or divine casting as long as I can cast.
A DM even called me out on it before saying that I was doing the group a disservice when I traded my channels for variant channel to do nauseating channel, ale.
After the fight with a bunch of fairly hard hitting bandits with poor Will saves, I pointed out those nauseating channels saved the party more damage that I could have healed with normal channels.
Please all you D&D players out there, your cleric/oracle/healer is not your heal bot. Please do NOT treat him as such or you will be out of a cleric/oracle/healer.
I always tell my party when I'm running Clerics/Oracles/classes with heal spells that I'm not their healbot.

I never run heal bots. Buff bots, occasionally yes. There's a perverse pleasure watching your party shred things.
I think that cleric with ale nauseating channel wasn't exactly an offensive kind of person. He just wanted to go through his life, smashed. And if you offered him drinks, he'd follow you like a puppy.
Inspired by this song.
No, I was not under the influence of alcohol when I rolled him up.

Speaking of hopeless situations, it sucks to be the healer.
DPS purists scoff at the notion of healing in combat at all. "If you can't one-round it so it doesn't have a chance to do damage, you're not playing right."
Party members act as if your time and resources are infinite. "Oh, if I go there I'll be flanked by three dual-wielding NPCs who do precision damage? No worries! It's a tactically-advantageous position, and my healer can get me through it?"
If you do something offensive, people get offended.

I frankly find one rounding things to be boring. As a martial I would really love a cleric to do that to incorpreal undead.

Heal would do half to incorporeal undead, sadly. Only channel energy does full.
You need ectoplasmic spell for heal to do full.

Well using channel for healing can be fun if you are in a multi table pfs special and all the pcs from all tables are in one room and heal everyone.

Who cherry-tapped him for the last point?
Oooh -- careful! Pain point! The entire table had a brain fart, in spite of the fact that three of the four of us play high-level clerics who do that.
So we were obviously tired, but the sorceress had an action before it did, so we'll give her credit for a 1-point Acid Splash that did it in. Just close your eyes and pretend...

Usually there will be tier separation to prevent higher level PCs from giving the lower level table too powerful buffs.
I may/may not have played that multi table special before but I would suspect that that wasn't written into the mod.
Else what's stopping some high level cleric from dropping a magic circle against evil on the front guy on the low table giving +2 to saves and AC to a level 1-5 table?
And a high level cleric channel is basically a full heal for low level tables. Who are generally dependent on hp as their primary resource so I would find it a tad over powered..

Too much work Maths has eaten the thoughts out of my head. Im heading off for my 5e game, I'm quite full but I just want to eat so as to put myself in a better mood.
This is going to be so bad for my calorie count.
Again if I don't eat, I'll probably get hungry later during the game where there will be no opportunity to get noms.
Really shouldn't have eaten that much for lunch...but what can I say? I eat when I'm upset.
And then I start looking for blue steaks
Oh.. Blood...

Good grief. Is this a random group for PFS or something or is this s table of theoretically friends? If the former it at least makes some sense that they're being overly expectant idiots, if the latter I can't see any logical excuse.

I switched characters from a character I really enjoyed playing because of this. I had a half-elf spirit guide oracle who specialized in healing, nonlethal spells, and status removal. Our GM had this stupid "let's vote on MVP for the session and give him +10% xp" rule. Never won once - not when I removed the mass fear effect the bad boss hit everyone with that only I passed, not when I breath-of-life'd the nuker who then nuked the boss so we'd win, and not even when I wall-of-stone'd a boss into a chamber so there was no way in or out but a 1 inch square I left (and I proceeded to flood with create water), winning the fight in two rounds.
No. Just the tank and the nuker wizard, because they did a lot of damage.
Every. Game. The nuker wizard was two levels above the rest of us by the time I had my character leave. I told the GM it was that or I'd have him commit suicide by rushing ever badguy, forgetting to wear his armor, and leaving his holy symbol in his backpack.
I came back with a selfish damage machine - a barbarian/sorcerer/dragondisciple/eldrichknight that took me a LONG time to do all the math right for every variable possible (power attacks, rages, self-buffing, etc). I laughed as people died around me, and yeah, we had a TPK next game, but guess who was the last one to die.
The GM never stopped that MVP s*%%. And he got pissy when I threw out XP when I took over as GM next game. He also got pissy when I told him his rogue couldn't sneak attack a tree that had blindsight just because he was in darkness. Said I was targeting him specifically. When I opened up the Kingmaker book and showed him the stats for the Scythe Tree to prove I wasn't targeting him specifically, he quit the group like a whiny little b!+#+. Took his girlfriend with him. His girlfriend being the nuker I mentioned earlier.

what were you supposed to do instead?
I am trying to have increased access to healing for F!TSoW. But my attempts are a bit clumsy. I have made rangers into a more witcher like "lets cut up the monster and make nutritious stews from it's vital organs! Mmm good!" Kinda healer/buffer, trying to see where that goes.

Do the dungeon runs follow deck recipes? I mostly don't use the recipes -- yes, I have a strong inner Johnny -- so I don't know if dungeon run parcels follow familiar patterns. Building a good shaman deck has been pretty easy with the choices they provide.
