Those micro skirts don't hide much. Doesn't matter if you look or not; you will regret being there.

...you break into the BBEG's inner sanctum and:

-The obscenely optimized Gunslinger runs screaming from the room before the DM can finish reading the description.

-The player who has quoted the stats of every encountered monster thus far merely remarks "That's just delaying the inevitable."

-The player who quotes Princess Bride and Monty Python ad nauseum says "Don't move. It can't see us if we don't move."

-The party wizard uses the Scroll of Wish that he's been sitting on for a year and a half to teleport to safety. More precisely, 'safety' is 'several planes away, under an assumed identity.'

Ponyfinder the campaign


From the other week:

You find out the GM insists on treating your wizard's familiar using the same rules as animal companions. Even though the owl has a higher intelligence than the party barbarian...


You realize that you are the only female player, with the only female character, and you are about to play Sixfold Trial...

Luckily, I host, so I was able to insist that if anyone voices Ilsandra, it is the text-to-speech functionality of my computer.

Dealing with Demons:
There's more then one way to kill a demon. As Evil Outsiders, demons take damage from holy water. As Evil Outsiders, demons take additional damage from a paladin's smite, the smite also automatically bypasses their damage reduction. Most Demons have DR 5, 10 tops, so even without a cold iron weapon, front line characters should be able to get some damage in, additionally, some demons have DR cold iron or good, meaning bless weapon will cause your weapon to bypass. Demons, like most creatures, take full damage from anything that deals sonic damage. Although reduced, Demons still take damage from acid, cold, and fire (for the most part) - this includes spells. If the demons were summoned, a protection from evil spell will prevent them from attack you, unless you attack first, if the cleric casts protection from evil while fighting summoned demons, and refrains from attacking, the demons cannot attack her.

If you are a Unicorn Bloodrager in a ponyfinder game, and friendship is magic, does friendship course through your veins when you rage?

Yes, you don't Fxxx with Friendship.

I remember when we did a ponyfinder game at PFS. It was a one off where we made a pony character and did a scenario we all played for no credit. I think it was Blakros Matrimony. And Everyone was ponies.

This actually happened to me today, although one player had blunt tipped arrows to do some bashing, but don't think he hit any skeletons. Luckily I was a Sorcerer with a magic missile want and managed to roll high on the damage roll this taking one skeleton out a turn.

You had to be there to understand that.

Ok, SO. Thornkeep we had lvl 2 roagues, both with a +Alot in lockpicking or something. Y'know how those doors are for the end of the dungeons for wwhen you leave? We went through those at the beggining. YEP. Guess who had no magic weapons?

In a similar vein, we were playing through a campaign and the players were stuck on a difficult riddle, so I decided to allow the smartest character an Intelligence check to see if I could give him a hint.

I looked over the character sheets, sighed, turned to the player of the paladin and said, "Summon your celestial pegasus. He needs to solve a riddle for you."

You are at a table where one of the group gets nominated for the prize of most ridiculous kill of the convention.

Add to this - only a single PFS character gets nominated

Yes - as far as memorable goes - this one will be burned into my memory. It was a mix of ineptitude due to 5 players being new and one experienced player knocked out and the other one the victim. Took me 4 rounds to eat his brains - this was slow motion death.

I was the prettiest at CHA 11. Playing a elf, who was playing a human, who was playing an elf from Korvosa, because he could not figure out his own disguise. There was a lot wrong with our "super sleuthing".
