Hey,
nobody diedonly one of the most important NPCs in the setting died as a result of that scenario!...and all of the animal companions.
Thanks for reminding me!
...when the GM looks at the scenarios and says "Wow, that's a super cool feat/ability." When asked what he's talking about, the GM says "You'll find out in a few turns."
...the only character with knowledge: planes tanks his knowledge check and the creatures end up having the most non-intuitive DR ever. Mumbles Fricken fracken multi-template creatures with class levels...

...someone asks what you're playing, and you try to say "A cleric of Iomedae, melee-oriented, probably the highest AC at the table, decent damage and especially good at fighting demons," but you're interrupted after the word "cleric" with a chorus of "Oh good, we have a healer!"
One of the biggest benefits of the Advanced Class Guide is that I can now describe my clerics as warpriests, even if technically they aren't :-). Especially useful when signing up for a game.

Hope they won't miss the invisibility purge, stone shape, and liberating command he had to sack to cast those. ;)

...as a GM running any season 0 where the players are playing up, you notice you have both a cleave fighter and a fireball sorcerer at the table. The players are grinning already.
I was here. except two fireball wizards(one me) and a MoMS monk. The other fireball wizard said, your season 1 mod is no match for 4 years of power creep.
But the only damage my wizard did was 30 to a door.

Man, I totally forgot a couple
...and the overseer GM of a special has to come in and make a ruling on how it would work if the Magic Jar loving caster who forgot to buy his focus for it can teleport back to Absalom and buy it mid-battle.
...the overseer GM stats getting out a map to see if Abasalom is in teleport range.

There is absolutely no way that this ever happened, or resulted in 3 dead seekers and the final one teleported to safety.
Ever.

You know you are in trouble when your gm has to walk up to the overseers table in the middle of Siege of Diamond city because the universalist wizard decided to create a pit then use stone shape to trap the monster down in it.
For future reference i believe being shunted inter-dimensionally through objects is 1d6 damage per 10 feet.

I was at that table! :) The 1d6 per 10 feet thing is what I said at the time, but the overseer ruled it would just pop back out since the extradimensional space was ceasing to exist.
It was a lovely six rounds of preparing for when the thing reappeared, though. It lasted about an eyeblink when it popped back up.

"OK, I will be your GM today. I will have to do the maps as we go, I was given this 5 minutes ago..."
pah! this has been the standard for the area I have gamed in for the last few years...
I have a file box of flip maps that I bring, so if I don't get selected as the judge (on no notice), I can supply the judge with (hopefully) 1 to 3 of the maps he needs in a few seconds.
"Seedy Dockside Tavern? you need the old version or the new?"

...when asked for player introductions, someone begins "He was born on the shores of Lake Encarthan..."
(Actually my girlfriend did that. When we played our second game together, and the GM asked for introductions, she pulled out the half-page backstory I had written at her request and started to recite it)

That moment when you are given your mission briefing by Aram Zey, who should know or be able to find out a lot more than what he can tell you. Most of my characters hate the level of incompetence and one wants to put an interplanar hit on him. Kinda like how many people feel about Sheila, but worse.
No no, I totally get it. Fabric of reality made it all clear. It's not that he doesn't know, he just doesn't have time to dumb it down for us. He has another 40 parties to send to their death AFTER ours.

...when the barbarian says "I don't need armor; my hit points are my AC. You have a wand to heal me with, right?"
This happened to me. Level 9 barbarian with 13 AC.
His logic was "Well at this level monsters auto-hit anyway. I can wear armor but I don't want to, since it doesn't ever help."

I hope he was at least an invulnerable rager. Between the archetype and extra DR rage power, you probably really can get by with terrible AC.

At level 11, Rukk has a raging AC of 6. Or 4 when he charges.
Invulnerable Rager, Extra Damage Reduction, a fortification haramaki, and his Gorum-given 5% concealment make it a workable strategy.
I would also recommend Toughness and Raging Vitality to anyone that heads down this path.
