Dragon Horse, cause Pegasus is not how i roll!

Rather have a laaaaaaaaarge party or a small one (10 ppl or 4ppl)


Out of character: Small party every time. Good character design can cover all the bases.
In character: Never going to complain with having more members. Unless they all play quirky niche characters. (Like playing Team Fortress 2, and 2/3 of your team are snipers and spies.)

Would you rather play a political/diplomatic game where your skills in relevant ranks mean absolutely nothing (As in, the GM never refers to them, and bases your result on what you said) or where the numbers mean everything? (As in, he never even asks what your character says, he just goes by the results dryly.)


You guys all missed one!

Would you rather go on an adventure where everyone's starting attributes were all 10's, or an adventure where everyone started the campaign with 3 wishes?

The latter. It could be really interesting!

Hm... proooooobably the former, but it would heavily depend on how much I trust my GM, and how much information gathering/understanding of the others I could do. Effectively, if I have to "guess" the "only correct answer" than the former is terrible - if, on the other hand, the GM is open and communicative, and I can use various tools to get information to tell me what to say to groups, than I'd definitely choose the former, as it's more akin to free-form role-play which can be quite fun.

Would you rather play a game set in a magical highschool-or-college, or magical workplace?

Magical high school/college. I have been wanting to play/run one for a long time but never liked my designs for it. (and it is a little hard when your group does not like sandbox adventures)

Would you rather win dragons treasure or a blessing from a god?


Very, very dependent on what a "blessing from a god" was. (In real life equivalent, the blessing, hands down, but in-game, unless it provides a benefit as useful or more than the treasure, unfortunately, I'd go with the treasure - as I might even be able to further that god's interests beyond what I could with the blessing. If, on the other hand, it was some sort of effect - tangible or otherwise - that would influence things in a manner equal to or greater than the treasure, I'd go with the god, presupposing it wasn't an evil god.)

A Contract Devil has a once-in-four-millenniums deal for you! His infernal master has recently acquired a gaggle of Tanar'ri, but, though he can bind them, can't really stand their anarchic presence. By signing over your immortal soul, you gain the unmitigated, unlimited services of your choice one kind of demon: an incubus, shadow, succubus, glabrezu, seraptis, or lilitu demon(s). You gain an amount of that kind to increase the total value equal to a CR 17 or less! They will serve you loyally, earnestly, and without fail, always looking out for your best interests (as they understand it), though they are still demons and still chaotic evil. In the effort of full disclosure, you will eventually die and will then probably be turned into a lemure (though, perhaps, contractual negotiations could still be made for other arrangements) after your death. Also, if you don't sign, unfortunately the demon(s) in question will be released to the wild. Would you rather sign for: one (1) lilitu, two (2) seraptis, four (4) glabrezu, or thirty-two (32) shadow or succubus or incubus demons (choose a single kind). After your death, due to the way they are bound to you, they, too, will be slowly devolved into lemures. They are not able to be used against the infernal master who made the contract with you or to break the contract in any way. Presuming the destruction of up to three of your servitors, you may exchange for another set, presupposing supplies last (others have not acquired them); if there are no supplies, you will instead be granted one dozen imps. The infernal forces granting this contract can, in no way, be held responsible for "problems" that may or may not arise from the use of demons in this manner, without limit or reservation. No exchanges, substitutions, or refunds. Void where prohibited.

I have a special for you 3 answers from my family. My mom says the 32 shadows, it was the only demon she was ok having. My brother says the 32 Succubus cause he would rather have the succubus over any of the other demons. I would go with the Lilitu as they are the strongest has the ability to look like a normal human and can cast wish for me.

If you had a chance to beat them Would you rather fight the first owl bear or a mythic aboleth.

Liberty's Edge

The aboleth, because it has more treasure!

Would you rather have your family name become a laughingstock or be PERSONALLY banned from everywhere except your Mega-Awesome Adventurer Doom Fortress.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

The latter. Because then it means I actually have a Mega-Awesome Adventurer Doom Fortress. And that's what disguise checks are for.

Would your rather kiss an otyugh or a succubus/incubus?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Succubus....I can get protection.

Would you rather play a bunch of 1st level adventures that are young kids or a bunch of 1st level characters that are all in the venerable age category ( Nursing Homes & Dragons)?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

That last sounds good to me.

Would you rather fight a type V demon, a marilith tanar'ri, or a marilith blackguard?

Um...a Type V demon...it is classic and I hated the name ' tanar'ri '.

Would you rather as a ruler be feared or loved?


Loved. I'm not into being feared so much (though some fear on occasion is not a bad thing, as any father has learned).

Would you rather have (and play) a game with the leadership feat plus all the epic feats from 3rd translated to PF, or the Thrallherd from 3.5 translated to PF?


Play the game with leadership and all that...Thrallherd did not seem to me at least to be a really good PCable PrC.

Would you rather roll a dice to determine the result of a social encounter or Role play it out and let what happens be a natural outgrowth of that?

Would you rather play a god or play a god-killer?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

A God...God killers can just to me at least tends to make the gods into just higher level monsters...not that it can't be done well...it just a lot tougher. Also being a god seems to me to be positive and creative...killing them seems to negative and bland.

Would you rather adventure in a dessert or in the frozen north?


2 people marked this as a favorite.

Dessert. So much this. Creme brulee, strawberry cake, banana split, fruit salad... the adventure possibilities!!!

Adventure in a desert or in the frozen north?


North. I sweat profusely in midly warm temperatures.
I'd die very, very fast in a desert.

Would you rather have to eat like a spider (you digest things outside your body, and drink the liquid remains. Often the creature isn't entirely dead while you do it.)

Or like a leech, leaving a large wound behind?

Hmm. I wonder if this question might be a little disturbing. Nah.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Spider, I imagine drinking my enemies insides through a crazy straw would be easier than hanging on for dear life.

Would you rather discover how Aroden died or find out what happened to Nex?


Find out what happened to Nex...I all ready know what happened to Aroden.

Would you rather be made captive and forced to mate with sirens or made captive and forced to mate with Thriae?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Thirae.
You won't be eaten conscious that way.

With no alignment repercussions, would you rather become a vulpinal or an imentesh,with the restrction that the imanatesh cannot polymorph into a humanoid?

Dark Archive

1 person marked this as a favorite.

After looking at both I would go Vulpinal as they are more humanoid and abilities I could see using a lot.

Would you rather have dinner with a Eranex, Adult Silver Dragon or Garaudhilyx, Great Wyrm Gold Dragon. (From Dragons Unleashed)


Um. Eranex, beucase I'm guessing.
Did I chose bad?

Would you rather play a game based on Touhou or I wanna be the guy?


I Wanna Be The Guy. I've been meaning to play that again. Could never beat the final boss...

Wait, do you mean a videogame or a tabletop?

If the latter... Well, I'll keep my answer, as the retro callback storm would be a lot of fun. Though the horde of cute girls in the other game is tempting...

If you were female, would you wear a superpowerful chainmail bikini with a +10 equivalent enchantment (and a pernament Endure Elements) if it required you to wear nothing else?

Actually, hell, even if you are male, would you?


Dunno, what's the alternative? This is "would you rather", not "would you". :)


Alternative is not wearing the Chainmail Bikini Of Ultimate Defense +wow.

If you want, there's a game killed I wanna kill the kamilia 2.

Almsot every boss includes touhou charecters.

Oh, and the bosses are usally Bullet-hell I wanna be the guy.

Have fun! Or don't.

Eh, I'll choose not to wear the bikini unless it is lined with something. I do not want anything down there to get caught in the chain links >_>

Would you rather roll a 1 (bugbear) or 100 (GM's choice) on the reincarnate chart?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Depends on who my DM is...
Acutally, not really. I ether get to watch my charecter suffer (yay!), come out Fairly average (meh.) or come out more powerful. (Yay!)

So, GM's choice.

Would you rather try and create bullet-hell mechanics for pathfidner, or try and make saving throws non-binary?


I don't want anything anywhere caught in chain links!

Non-binary saves. Bullet-hell mechanics work fairly well as-written, if you accept the abstract nature of PF as those mechanics (though it might actually be inverse - i.e., you roll your AC v. a static +10 to attack a bunch of times). In table-top, that sort of idea isn't terribly exciting, compared to it's video game origins. On the other hand, with non-binary saves, you can have all sorts of interesting story-telling effects. It'd be a lot more work, though.

BAM! You just gained 100 hit points, +10 (overlapping with any other you have) base attack bonus, and a host of special features: would you rather those special features come from the 3.5 Blackguard prestige class (all ten levels, including bonuses for being an ex-paladin, even if you're not), or from 10 levels-worth of the PF anti-paladin class?

This includes the +7 to fortitude and will saves which overlap with any other bonuses you have; and ten "virtual" hit dice [which count only for purposes such as spells that count hit dice or negative levels; these overlap with your actual hit dice], and 20 skills from the class skill lists, though the 3.5 Blackguard's skills are considered "changed" into their PF equivalents for purpose of this question.

Blackguard

Antipaladin

(links so that you can make an informed decision)


Without even looking, assuming alingment restrictions for said powers, blackguard. Antipaladins, aside from the stupid name, are forcred to be murderous psychoes, while a blackguard just has to be evil.

Would you rather play under a misogynist male GM or a misandrist female GM?


Doesn't matter! I'd walk in seconds.
or be as disruptive as possible.
What can i say, I'm an immature f%!~.

---------

Assuming no aligment restrictions (but you do gain other inherited quirks and desires, like appetite, disire for a hoard, ect...) , would you rather be a black dragon (locked at the adult size category) or a green dragon (also locked at adult size.)

Green. Swamps suck. Forests is better.

Would you rather only ever play with players like these every Friday night (and you can't not play or not come) or experience this just once.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Green dragon. They get dominate and suggestion.

Babysit a gnome for a day or train an axe beak to be mounted.

NINJA'D!

The latter, because it's a game and only once.

Babysit a gnome, presupposing it's an actual baby. I'm good at that.

Would you rather GM for players who would bend over backwards to help you, as a GM, or players who are incredible at RP.

This is not a "negative" question of "which is worse" - it's entirely in the positive.


Helpful players. RP is overrated.

Look, it's fun, don't get me wrong, but in a four hour session, maybe a half hour ends up genuine RP, two hours combat, an hour explaining things back and forth and description, and half an hour of players arguing among themselves. Helpful, but untalented RP players make that 3.5 hours of guaranteed fun. Awesome RP players make that half an hour of guaranteed fun.

Plus, I stand by my original statement. RP is overrated. It's like the Black Keys of the gaming world. Yeah it's cool, no doubt it's enjoyable and worth nodding at the ability, but not as good as it's fans puff it up to be.

RP is part of the experience, but not the entirety thereof, and if it was all I wanted to do I'd be LARPing and not tabletopping.

Would you rather play a full Mythic10/20level monty haul game, or a low magic e6?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Mythic montyhaul.

If I wanted to test the limits of a guy with a stick and a few levels of leatherworking I'd join the sca.

Would you rather be able to travel through time or undo the ravages of time?


Time travel! Adventures in time and space!

Would you rather be a diplomancer bard or a bandaid-hander-outer Cleric?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Diplomancer, every time, all the time.

Metallic scales or chromatic scales?


I'm gonna go with metallic...

Would you rather have the ability to outdo everyone at everything they could possibly do but only just barely, or have the ability to bestow upon someone else the ability to be twice as good as anyone has ever been.

(If you choose you, you can outlift the most powerful lifter by a wide enough margin to barely beat them in competition, you could barely outrun the fastest runner by a narrow but clear margin, you could win every mma fight but by the skin of your teeth, you could rescue a baby from a burning building etc... but if you choose to be able to give the ability to another they would instead be able to double the strength of the strongest person and be twice as fast as the fastest runner, soundly defeat all mma contenders in a way thats almost laughably trivial and rescue TWO babies from the burning building, but you'd never be able to claim credit for the wonderful things others do with your gift and both they and others would never know it was you who gave them the ability and never be able to be convinced that it was you.)

So its either you become narrowly amazing in every way or you're able to make others supernaturally stunningly amazing while being unable to take credit for it.


Maybe I'm selfish, but I don't see how that's even a contest, Vincent.

Real life? Me.

I can win every poker game, barely. I can count cards better than the best in the world (and therefore never get caught) barely.

I'm moving to Vegas. I'm getting in MMA fights when I feel like it, booking a singing gig at a major hotel, and when I need spending money I'm walking in a casino - otherwise known as my personal ATM, winning a couple grand (just enough for today, not enough to alert security or get added to any lists), and walking out.

I'm buying my own jet and flying around for fun, and doing all other kinds of high-risk-mega-skill-required stuff that I'd otherwise be too scared to try or too lazy to learn, because I'm now amazing at it, even though normally it takes a lifetime to master.

I play baseball professionally for a steady check and fame, because boring as that crap is, it's like three minutes of actual work at a time, the injury rate is nothing compared to most sports, and they get off days for inclement weather.

Nah, man, that's just not something I could turn down. I'll donate a metric ton of cash to charitable organizations to make up the difference, though.

Would you rather bang a tiefling or marry an aasimar?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I'd like to think I'd choose the second.

Then I realize I don't trust anyone enough to give that to.

So... Me?

And I'd just keep doing this all day.

EDIT
Marry an assimar.
If it was "marry a teifling" I might have chose that one, beucase I like freaky stuff, but banging isn't really for me.

Would you rather get wishes from an Efritti for free (who will almost certainly screw you). Or a dinji, for a year and a day of service?


The latter. The efreeti one sounds too hot, uncomfortable, and likely to leave burn marks where I'd rather not. (Also, faithful service = muuuuuuuuuch better and more guaranteed ability to turn a profit.)

Would you rather have a game laced with innuendo (intentional or not) or a game filled with more romantic notions and humor?

EDIT: . to ?


A game filled with more romantic notions and humor....since my games are all ready laced with innuendo it might be nice to try something else.

Would you rather play a drow on the surface or a elf in the Darklands?


Drow on the surface! (It's actually a direction that a game I'm running is going now, so...)

Would you rather adventure in the Darklands or in the ruins of Arcadia?


Arcadia...because we don't know anything about them yet.

Would you rather try to build a outpost in the Worldwound or build a outpost in the Darklands?


John Kretzer wrote:

Worldwound. I like fighting demons.

Would you rather grapple a Sinspawn or fight Sahuagin underwater?


Darklands. Less, you know, demons.

Would you rather use a 'chuck weapon or play a Chuck Norris (under the rules linked)?

EDIT: AH! Ninja'd

Fight a Sahuagin; I'd have freedom of movement and shapechange (CL 20th) going at the time. :D

Foul!

Chuck Norris as his rules dictate him to be a God.

Would you rather remove Wizards from the game entirely or Dragons?


Counter-Foul! There is no question in the above. Also, who says he is not via the rules presented? Besides, I said a Chuck Norris, not the Chuck Norris! I shall choose the former, since you fouled by failing to answer the question. Also, that is not an established Chuck Fact, and explicitly goes against Chuck Fact. BAM.

Would you rather play with a 'chuck weapon, or watch Scavion play with a 'chuck weapon? (OR: play "chuck a Scavion-goblin"?)

EDIT: AH! You added a question!

The former. There are a ton of other classes to play, though I'd actually be okay with a setting that did the latter.
