The cleric looks over at your character sheet, winces, and hands you a 50gp platnium ring and says "till death do us part"
Your a life oracle and you look at the barbarian who plays tank...and he says, "Don't worry, I do not bother with AC because you will heal me and I have a lot of hit points. Could I get one of those platinum rings now please?"

Ninja Kyras say... These wands of mirror image, they are truly a gift from the gods. May the gods be praised.
Ninja Kyras say... He who need not worry over armor upgrades is free in mind and body. May the gods be praised.
Ninja Kyras say... He who does not wear armor to battle but lacks wand, spell, or exceptional health will soon be praising the gods in person.
Ninja Kyras has journeyed with such a companion before. Ninja Kyras believes this person would be served well by much introspection and praise of the gods. Ninja Kyras's wand of healing grows dark and dim from MUCH use when this person is a companion.
Ninja Kyras... is sad. :(

You know you're in trouble when you sit down and ask if the party has a face. Everyone looks around and decides that your character, who is known for screwing up social encounters in hilarious ways, is now elected as team lead and party face.
"Do you really want OKAY THEN!" Clasps hands together eagerly.
** spoiler omitted **
I had this happen with my 5 CHA Dwarf.
He does have a +1 Diplomacy and Patient Optimist (because that matches his personality). Admittedly, I don't think the other players realized the error of this until they actually started listening to what he/I was saying. Then they stepped up, as their mediocre Diplomacy was far better suited to making friends (while my Dwarf's Diplomacy is geared more toward making amends).Cheers.

You work hard to organize a session running 3 tables of the same scenerio with pretty much full tables. Get a message the day before that one of the GM's got the date wrong and wasn't going to make it. Frenzy until you find a new GM last minute. Walk into the comic shop feeling prepared because you settled the GM issue and their are half a dozen new people you weren't anticipating.
Kind of scary how we went from "we should schedule a backup GM just in case we have enough players for a 3rd table" to "guaranteed 3 tables of 7" in just 8 weeks.
|
But.. but.. my 5th level alchemist is already at +20. That's ridiculous.
You want me to agree that a +20 at 5th level is ridiculous?
Or you think a +7 at 2nd level is ridiculous?
He is a new player, his background in RPG, god help us, was in online games. Yeah. No background with any edition of D&D/AD&D/PF before joining, as part of a group, our PFS game day.
Indeed, we are porbably going ot have to seat the three of them down, next Sunday, before the game and discuss the Explore! Report! and especially Cooperate! part of the rules with them.
One of the reasons the <redacted> was so hard was that the Bard and the Rogue were both off in a different part of the main room, rather than joining in against the <redacted> in combat.

Organizing is funny that way. You will struggle to get people coming for a time, either barely treading water or making small gains, then you'll grow by two tables in a couple weeks. Seems like I'm constantly trying to train up GMs or invite known good GMs, only to either have other GMs split off to run/join other games or suddenly grow a table and still end up needing more.

Move action: take off the ring :)The cleric looks over at your character sheet, winces, and hands you a 50gp platnium ring and says "till death do us part"Mine says "'Til Death or a Standard Action Do Us Part."
ah... that doesn't end the spell though.
School abjuration; Level cleric 2, paladin 2
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, F (a pair of platinum rings worth 50 gp worn by both you and the target)
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target one creature
Duration 1 hour/level (D)
Saving Throw Will negates (harmless); Spell Resistance yes (harmless)
This spell wards the subject and creates a mystic connection between you and the subject so that some of its wounds are transferred to you. The subject gains a +1 deflection bonus to AC and a +1 resistance bonus on saves. Additionally, the subject takes only half damage from all wounds and attacks (including those dealt by special abilities) that deal hit point damage. The amount of damage not taken by the warded creature is taken by you. Forms of harm that do not involve hit points, such as charm effects, temporary ability damage, level draining, and death effects, are not affected. If the subject suffers a reduction of hit points from a lowered Constitution score, the reduction is not split with you because it is not hit point damage. When the spell ends, subsequent damage is no longer divided between the subject and you, but damage already split is not reassigned to the subject.
If you and the subject of the spell move out of range of each other, the spell ends.
I've even played for one judge who stated that both the rings had to be in with the spell caster with the spell was thrown (the target creature just had to have at one time worn one of the rings). Common practice thou is for the caster and target both to have one of the rings on when the spell is cast... not worn for the duration of the spell. ("Duration 1 hour/level (D)").

That is absurd and intentionally obtuse misreading of the excruciatingly clear meaning of the rings.

This is why I love online scheduling tools for pre-mustering, such as Warhorn. Keeps things organized...you know...because its ORGANIZED PLAY...

High skills are easy to get if you build for it. I have a 4th level PFS character with a +21 Intimidate.

I know. My comment on whether it was the +20 or the +7 as being ridiculous was a joke, son. ;)
But, as I mentioned, the three of them are new players, and they have one PC, now high 2nd or just barely 3rd level, as of last Sunday.

...when you arrive at the table and one player is lecturing another on how his character can wear six weapons on weapon cords on each arm, and insisting this means he can draw any one of them at any time as a swift action.
...when it turns out that's what he's doing.

At least they errata'd weapon cords to take up a move action now.

...sit down with someone you've never played with before at a 7-11 and they're talking about how awesome their barbarian is. Then as the module progresses, they keep telling stories about having a super support character in their group, and you realize that the awesome person who isn't you isn't sitting at your table.
...you're the last person to sit down at the table and find out when the first combat starts that everyone else is playing the same type of character as you.
...you're too high to play the 1-5 module where torch shows back up.

...you're too high to play the 1-5 module where torch shows back up.Yeah, this one was a bummer. I had to have my character say that he knew Torch from all the stories he was told by "his good friend Korr" (my ex-Shadow Lodge character).
And I so wanted to see my Torchie again to welcome him back properly!
Just to let him know that I missed him! He hasn't been around these parts in way to long (smoothing wrinkles from bodice and skirt).

... the Monk dumped Wisdom.(I have played with a monk that dumped Dexterity - and GM'ed another one - both were effective)
-----
...the beef at the table is the animal companion but since it is a celestial companion none of the wands can seem to pierce its SR.
My Warpriest dumped Wisdom.
He's a powerhouse. :3
When your gunslinger partner decides to switch characters two minutes before the game starts leaving me as the sole gunslinger of our "duo" that he created.

Ya, I got the hots for him too. Wait, wanting to set him on fire counts as the "hots", right?
Nah.. my gunslinger is hoping that she gets to 'reunite' with her old boss before she hits 12th.
She's got this nice little adamantine bullet with his name in it (in every language she speaks) engraved in plantinum. Just. For. Him.

...the VC from another town is here to judge his Fifth-Star-game. You already think you're in for a treat* when you overhear him apologizing repeatedly to another player because he already judged a game the day before and produced the first TPK ever in this city.
*It WAS a great deal of fun and not nearly as deadly as I anticipated.
