You realize the GM has only a small wedge of mustache above his lip, perfectly sculpted hair, the gift of the silver tongue, and always seems like he's standing at attention even while sitting.

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.

Nope.

My characters with the best diplomacy bonus have a charisma of 5 (conversion inquisition and empyreal sorcerer) -

Sorry Im assuming all three of my shots hit(With hitting touch Ac it is likely. with deadly aim, dex bonuses and so forth. And he admits it is the rules. He just says its not as his table

That's probably something to speak to him/Mike about, but probably enough of a derail here.

[hotsauceman]

Actually he agreed it is the rules, he just doesnt like it and will let me(my gunslinger isnt too bad he said)do it. But yeah it did happen and it freaked me the hell out for a moment.

The sorc decides the best way to clean the ships hold (made of wood) of hostiles is to lob a fireball in.

[snickersimba]

I hope Nothing like this ever happens on the thirteenth. I normally try to play a healer because seeing other people lose there PCs makes me sad.
So if I need to, I will play a healer. I like playing a spellcaster as much as the next guy, I just don't want to be that guy.

You know you are in trouble when the gamemaster has an evil grin.
the party is entirely made of rogues.

See, that is why you become an Admixture Wizard so your fireball can become a Snowball

The DM disallows your feats from a book because you don't have the additional resources... and you don't have the book because the DM borrowed it last week.

Nah. If it was Star Trek, it was probably an Orion Slave Girl...

the gm has the other 5 players put on blue shirts and gives you a red shirt to put on. Of course the gm is wearing a gold shirt. (yes, more star trek humor).

Disgusting...disgusting...LENTALS!

Maybe not a problem for those who like lentals, but to me a lental is the inbred offspring of a pea and a bean with a peanut added into the ménage à trois to make the lental more of a freak.

If I actually was skilled enough at pathfinder (please wait five years), I would be giving out treats based on the theme of the scenario. For example: sceneario with lots of oozes=Gelatnus cubes with swords stuck in them and candy bones inside. :) Just so everyone can have a bite to eat before beginning. Or if all else fails, MCdonalds
