when you are setting up the table, expecting a group of total newbies, and someone shows up excited to see there is a Pathfinder table at the ComicCon. Relieved that you will not have a total table of newbies, you ask him what he's played before, he says he doesn't know the names, but he has the sheets... and he pulls two chronicles out of his wallet with the sheet of notebook paper that is his character sheet. Nothing besides the judges info is filled out, and when presented with a fresh new PC sheet to fill in, he says he likes his "personal" sheet (which has only a dozen or so lines of smudged pencil on it) better...
it sort of went down hill from there...
I did get him to start to put his character on a PC sheet by the end of the first game, but he had lost it before the second (though he still had every other paper I had given him, including the ITS - which was un-used...)

And full BaB, like a fighter. Also, nothing saying your cannot use your gun while tanking... Five foot steps, are your friend... Or, if your AC is good, you can just provoke, and then shoot 'me in the face. Or you can pistol whip (or butt stroke)... Or just pull a sword (you are proficient with all martial weapons). Heck, a good purchase for a 'slinger is an agile rapier, if'n you've picked up weapon finesse (not a bad idea, really).

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

Try telling him that. ;D

what is this melee weapon thing you speak of? Is it some sort of exotic firearm from Tien I haven't heard of? (Gunslinger is creeping up on 11th level and never used her sword except to scare folks by standing around sharpening it.)

When my gunslinger cant use her gun for some reason, she starts yelling and intimidating opponents. I scared a devile a one point into running away

After a long night and early morning, you arrive at the table ready to start a new campaign. And you find that you only have tax forms and W2s with you.
With dawning horror, you realize that you mailed in your character sheet.
.. and then a few weeks later the auditor returns the character and shows you a more efficient point buy to get the same stats.

When the only person capable of fighting an incorporeal creature decides to run and leave nearly everyone else fascinated and helpless after they failed saves.
I am guessing this was from an Allip. If so then fascinate doesn't make you helpless and any attack by the Allip breaks the effect for all fascinated targets. It is honestly not that dangerous of a condition, it mostly just allows the Allip to get into melee range without trouble.

Yeah, I think that tops this thread. I've had to help friends of mine evade that kind of thing when their sisters had slumber parties.
That kind of situation is where you facepalm, look at the Judge, and politely bow out of that table. Then find the nearest bar close to your own home, and proceed to get brain bleach for the event.

Or a low level Guntank (Archtype) that uses a dragon pistol (Full plate/tower shield) as he tells the bad guys "gather round children - I have something to teach you! (Day Job: Profession Teacher)....
hehe. My cleric of Hanspur wears full plate and carries a tower shield (-12 swim). Profession (lifeguard).
