I've found that as Pahtfinder grows I just can't keep all the pertinent rules in my head anymore.
So I pose this question to the community:
What commonly used rules are frequently forgotten or overlooked?
I'm talking about some of the more common rules that are easy to forget or often get overlooked, not obscure situations or powers.
For example- I always forget that the GM should make the rolls for a player when they search for traps. (prevents meta gaming for when you roll that inevitable 1)
Also- You can't sneak attack in dim lighting due to 20% concealment (actually my group is pretty bad at keeping track of lighting sources during combat, as it can be a chore.)
I thought it would be handy if we had a sticky thread with this info for those like myself that just can't remember everything. If I haven't had to use certain rules in a while I just don't retain them.
So let me hear it. What rules do you find are most commonly forgotten?
Good sir Anvil, I refer you to this thread.
Good sir Anvil, I refer you to this thread.
Thanks Manimal, I did a quick search for threads on this topic but must have missed that one.
Good sir Anvil, I refer you to this thread.
Ha! I actually commented on that thread too! It was so long ago I completely forgot.
See...no memory...that's why I need threads like this.
Well, I know I just forgot one. Apparently ranged touch spells are subject to firing into melee penalty (-4 attack). This totally bones over any Sorcerer or Wizard, and Cleric.
Dammit. Even with his nice Dex score, one of my player's PC only has a 3 ranged attack in the first place.
