Did anyone else read the spells that level 9 wizards can cast?
They can cast Time Stop! This means they'll get at least two rounds to do whatever they want. They could summon in two Balors, or even 2d4+4 wooden golems! Or they could cast Wish to change reality to better suit them! And what happens if they get all 4 rounds?!
How is this not overpowered? Is the party just supposed to run away or stand there while being balor'd to death? Or being killed by some nasty splinters? They can't even do that! They can't act for those rounds!
Anyone who disagrees with me is clearly an inane, not to mention insane, rambler who hasn't read the rules and I will ignore them.

About two months ago, I'd wager.
And your stupid silly strawmen is trying to distract us from discussing how overpowered this is! At least it's not as bad as Weapon Mastery, Master Hunter, Hidden Master, and True Judgement are!

So what would a good fix for this be? Maybe only allowing the caster to cast spells up to 1/3rd the lvl of the highest lvl spell he or she could currently cast during this time?
Or maybe the caster can only cast a number of spells equal to his natural (unmodified) CON modifier?
Or maybe the caster rolls d4+1 and that's how many spells they get to cast of a lvl no greater than half the highest lvl they can cast modified by their STR modifier!
there, fixed ;-)

While I don't agree with the trolling I do think people are tired of this-----> "Hey everyone don't you think _______ is silly/broken/OP'd/etc?"
95% of the responders:"No, it is ok because_______. "
OP:"You guys are (insert random insult) if you dont see how silly/broken/etc this is." More bad attitude follows.
Random poster:"Calm down. No need to insult people."
OP:more bad attitude, and insults
I think people's patience is growing thin with this, not that it makes the trolling ok, but I do understand.

What is a good definition of trolling?
I think of this thread as more satire or *facepalm* to quote TOZ
that guy was being a super glen beck in the other thread. he was almost crossing the line, here at paizo i have never never had such a pleasurable internet forum experience. every body is civil to the point of me wondering if i am in a alternate internet dimension.
but all it takes is one break in the time politeness continuum and we all fall into normal internet flaming.

OK, feeling stupid but I am going to ask anyway.
So I get that the purpose of this thread is to make fun of another thread (or threads) where someone asks a silly question and then proceeds to insult those who do not agree.
But I want to clarify - Smurf is a term commonly used to describe these people? Like troll?

They could just put the idiot on their ignore list and move on.

Possibly humans can exist without actually having to fight. But, many of us have chosen to fight. For what reason? To protect something? Protect what? Ourselves? The future? If we kill people to protect ourselves and this future then what sort of future is it and what will we have become? There is no future for those who have died. And what of those who did the killing? Is happiness to be found in a future that is grasped with blood stained hands? Is that the truth?.
..........
that pretty much sums up this whole thread....
also SMURFS :)
