That thread makes me a sad panda.
I just read that thread, and my faith in humanity (teetering at a tenuous -9 hit points) just failed its stabilization check.
Chris Mortika said that if a paladin uses the Feint combat maneuver, he should lose all his paladin powers.
...I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

LULZ. Player griefing at its finest. News flash: paladins, particularly in season 6, are not so great as to warrant all this hysteria. There is a reason I'm liking running more and more. I can assure that players don't get griefed at tables I run.

Well, unless they're paladins with an Animal Companion, of course :-) :-) :-).

Yes, that's perfectly applicable for tricks which don't have BAB requirements. However, for feats, even if you get your pet at lvl 6, it still leveled up naturally from 1-5 and thus gets its feat at 5th level and couldn't have Improved Natural Attack before level 8.
Just like you can't make a cleric, skip your feat at first level, then take Power Attack at lvl 2, neither can a pet get INA at lvl 6.

No animal companions were killed when I ran King of Storval Stairs. So not even paladins with animal companions.

The character. It ended up quite humorous, as since it was a multi table scenario, he started taunting the other tables while we were waiting for them to catch up to us.

I used to open my superhero games the same way every time: "There's an explosion!"

...the GM is still trying to decide what scenario to run. (It turned out okay, but not great.)
Convention games of "PFS Classic" or "Open Gaming" or other "table's choice" grab bags are a thing.
I'm just glad I've read so much stuff whether or not I've run it yet....
(No, game 150 was one I hadn't actually gotten to run before... it was a ton of fun to finally get to run Empyreal Enlightenment!)

Gonna pick that up as soon as I get enough Prestige to buy it. Wild enchantment on Dragonscale armour is expensive. :(

You remember that you're general asocial and were insane enough to offer yourself as a con-GM. Meaning you're GMing for people you don't know. At all...
... .... ... runinng an Emerald Spire Endurance run at a con in a couple of weeks, my first PFS GM experience outside of my usual group ... I am not really worried since I have a couple of good players / GMs with me.

It does. A VERY overlooked option in pfs is to buy an item, hand it to a party member and say "hey, can you use this for me?" The spell is on nearly every spell list. It would be very rare to have a party with no one that could cast it natively or VIA UMD. Its why a monks first purchase should be a wand of mage armor even if they have the UMD score of a bookend.

You set up your GM screen; your module is printed and highlighted for the important bits; you've printed out every important NPC's character sheet; you've pre-signed all of the Chronicle sheets.
Then you look over the table as the players place their miniatures. Six combat-trained Tigers to go with the six players. And an eidolon (bipedal skill monkey). And two familiars (oh, but they're non-combat). And three horses. Then, two of the casters have five various "Summon Monster" scrolls they're letting you know about ahead of time.
What you thought was going to be a relatively enjoyable GM'ing session can now be compared to a football team trampsing through a scenario.

COOPERATE!
*ahem*
This Is Not A Solo Game means more than just not stealing the spotlight!

Heh, it's target is "willing animal" not "your animal companion."
Even still, it's relying on someone else to [possibly, situation depending,] spend their first combat action making sure your animal is present (because the only person who can restore the animal is the "caster").

Dont worry. I still love you. So does the succubus.
My table however is traumatized for life.

Took another look at my Fame level. I'm literally one short of being able to buy it. Also, being level 10, I think a few scrolls will be cheaper in the long run.

It took me a minute before I realised you meant your actual table, not the group of players at your table. >_> And I'm sorry!
(For the ones who don't know, I accidentally glued my mini to Woran's table, and took a bit of a souvenir when I managed to pry it loose.)
