I'd like to break from chorus here and say just one thing about it - don't fall into the time travel trap.

Seriously, don't.

You're really talking about more a dystopia than post-apocalyptic and it would be much cooler for the PC's to have to set right now what's wrong, rather than giving them a reset button.

Also, "Spellcraft", to my mind, should only know if there's something that obviously indicates it's a spell. If the wizard fails to notice the illusion, it just looks like the bad guy is doing something and then casting a different spell.

Welcome to the Paizo Boards, where you ask how to help with a story idea and instead everyone instead decides to give you advice on what you did wrong, how things don't work like that, or how to not do what you already planned on doing instead of trying to help answer the question you asked.
And if you completely ignore a mechanic, which your players know about, which leads them to entirely erroneous conclusions, is that good GMing? Thus our providing the information about Bards not being allowed to use Silent Spell seems like useful information. When Brian sees Silent Spell being used, and he concludes, "well it can't be a Bard" you've just hosed the players, in no less of a way then if you were to arbitrarily change some other rule on the fly when it is disadvantageous to the PCs.

Sorry for the threadjack but what make you and wraithstrike think he needs the helps dealing with this more than what he asked? It's his game, give him the benefit of the doubt that he knows what he is doing and maybe try to help with the piece that he is asking about, instead of assuming that he needs to be rescued by a bunch of unknown people on the internet. So what if a few rules are wrong, this isn't the rules forum and he is asking for story advice, not your rules suggestions.

Sorry but this is the one thing I hate about these boards, that everyone thinks they know what is better for your game than you, and instead of helping you on what you ask, they all want to tell you what you are doing wrong, or comment on things you don't need help with. If you did, you know how to make a thread asking for that too.
OK, I'll shut up now. Sorry OP.


He asked for help. We gave him help, in the form of both suggestions and potential rules snags.

Again, he ASKED FOR HELP, he doesn't need you to go on a crusade because you (not him) have decided that this help wasn't the right kind of help.

Nobody asked you for your opinion on whether someone's advice is the right kind of advice. In contrast, he DID ask for people's opinions and advice on this issue.

If you don't have something useful to add besides getting pissy and being offended for someone else, stop posting in this thread.
