Yes, I think that's a great idea.
Would you rather start running a Pathfinder PBP with a group of total newbies or ten-year veterans of the system?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Total newbies. I hate it if 10 year olds show me up and you can have lots of fun with new people. "Play rogues, Its the best class".
Would you rather only be able to speak in riddles or rhymes?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Ryhmes.
I would rhyme, like, often.
Would you rather have an intelligent weapon with +10 in enchantments that could outsmart you, or a normal weapon with +4 in enchantments?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Elder God; who wants to be forgotten?
Would you rather be celestial or infernal?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Yes, I think that's a great idea.
On the subject at hand, Celestial. I do secretly want to be a bad guy sometimes, but honestly I know it's just better to be good in the long run.
Eat a meal cooked by goblins or ogres?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Ogres. I'm not a fan of overcooked food.
If you were a lich, would you rather keep your phylactery well hidden in a remote, dangerous location or keep it close at hand and make it as indestructible as possible?

Keep it close...well hidden, remote, and dangerous location are just beacons for adventurers
Would you rather play a solo adventure or a a adventure with 10 people playing?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Solo. Because then I can show off that one build I keep in the back of my folder of characters that is better than a whole party of optimized characters. (It exists, really, but I refuse to tell anyone how I made it)
Would you rather goblins or kobolds existed in the real world?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Goblins...they would easier to deal with.
Would you rather put a Bag of Holding into a Portable Hole or use nothing but a wand(or is it Rod now?) of Wonder for every action you do?
Note:I think we lost Tacticslion in the sub-forum changed...
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Bag of Holding in the Portable hole! Rifts in space/time are fun!
Would you rather only be able to post on this thread, or never post on this thread ever again.
Eeeh, the latter. Far more threads I'd like to waste time on add to on the messageboard.
Would you rather play in a game of F.A.T.A.L. with friends, but the GM... err, Aedile, takes it seriously? Or run a game of F.A.T.A.L. with at least half the players taking it seriously?

No. No, I would not rather. But if I had to, it'd be the former. The game would quickly end, and we'd move on to something else.
Would you rather play a nymph (free girdle of gender change, if you want it) with prestige classes that upped your casting like a druid, or play an actual druid? Why?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Play a nymph...always wanted to play a nymph.
Would you rather rather get access to game creators (like we do here) but disagree with them at times or have no access to creators at all?
Who needs the game creators? WE CAN MAKE OUR OWN GAME!
Would you rather
Only be able to play a tabletop RPG that you made the rules for and was completely original
or
never be able to argue with the rules of any tabletop RPG again. (Accepting everything as balanced including summoner)
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Never able to argue the rules...I never argue...I discuss the rules.
Would you rather drink with dwarves or drink with elves?
Drink with elves, more left for me.
Would you rather go travelling around the world on a sailing ship or an airship?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
A Airship...I always loved the idea of a airships.
Would you rather have sub-races( IE: Hill Dwarf, Mountain Dwarf, High Elf, Grey elf, etc.) or have it based more on culture (like Golarion has it)?
I hate the whole thing with both those anyway but, culture.
Would you rather
meet the people on the forum in real life
or
only ever talk to us online
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Meet people in real life...well some of you at any rate. ;)
Would you rather use a fireball or a Ice Storm to kill everyone in the room?
Ice Storm. I've never smelled burning flesh, but I'm guessing it's unpleasant.
Would you rather have 25 gold pieces in the real world, or a potion of your choice? (Not an elixer)
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
25 gold pieces in the real world...I can't think of any potion that would be worth it...to short of a duration and a one shot...
Would you rather have be surrounded by halflings by gnomes?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Do you mean halflings or gnomes?
Gnomes. I will learn all of their MAD SCIENCE!
Would you rather
play an NPC class with perfect ability scores (all 18s)
or
play a PC class with sub optimal ability scores (10 point buy)?

Would you rather marry Queens Abrogail Thrune II or marry Queen Elvanna?
Queen Thrune. She doesn't have a looming threat to her power making her desperate and perhaps unhinged. And you know those Lawful Evil hotties are devils in the sack. Whether she demands to be the top in bedroom and out, or she's got an inner bad girl that needs to be punished, I can oblige. Elvanna might just cut my heart out and eat it.
Would you rather face off with a pack of ghouls, or a pack of Athasian cannibal halflings?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Ghouls. They smell worse, but they are not all third level characters and they are not all psionic.
Would you rather be in a foundering submarine or a foundering airship?
Ghouls. They smell worse, but they are not all third level characters and they are not all psionic.
Would you rather be in a foundering submarine or a foundering airship?
A Foundering submarine...you can only go up...unlike a floundering airship which you can only go down.
Would you rather teleport place but might end up somewhere randomly or walk everyplace and never get lost?
Walk. On principal I never gamble.
Would you rather
Summon Rovagug
or
Summon Satan
or
Summon C'thulu
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Well, Rovagug is right out. Ancient god of destruction that other gods fear? He'd likely devour and/or destroy me, body and soul. Best not mess with him.
That leaves Satan and Cthulhu. On the one hand, Cthulhu's presence would likely drive me insane before he devoured me, so he'd kill me off. Satan, being more of a trickster and corrupter, I see as being below such indiscriminate destruction. On the other hand, talking to Lucifer would probably lead to eternal damnation as his honeyed words convince me to agree to some kind of deal. I may be able to resist by plugging my ears, closing my eyes, and screaming "LA LA LA LA LA," but that'd probably just piss him off. And I don't THINK Cthulhu has any specific power over souls.
I'll tentatively go with Cthulhu. Certain mortal destruction is better than possible eternal damnation.

Would you rather have a small but fancy dice collection with a durable and well-made dice bag, or a large jumble of dice ranging from attractive to hideous, in a bunch of improvised bags?

Uh... both?
But, choosing one, I'd go with the latter. Easier to share with people.
It's Play-by-Post time! Would you rather have me as a GM of it or have me as a player in it? Why?
(This can be one that you GM or one someone else GMs.)
EDIT: fix coding
GM. There aren't enough of them anyways.
Would you rather
have a pet
Owlbear
or
Ducksnake
or
pengiulion
Owlbear...they are cuter than the other options.
Would you rather take 10 or take 20?
20 billion dollars. SIGN ME UP!
would you rather
have everything you type have hilarious typos
or
have everyone else suddenly start typing in any language you don't know, and swap whenever you learn it.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
This is suppose to be PF related....I'll answer it though.
Have everything I type with hilarious typos....because at least I can still communicate with people.
Would you rather cast spells like a wizard (IE Larger selection and must memorize spells a head of time) or like a sorcerer (much smaller selection but cast spells spontaneously)?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Wizard. So much more awesome.
Eat a fried owlbear egg, or a grilled owlbear?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Fried owlbear egg. I love fried eggs.
Would you rather be hired by Paizo to design a new class, or a new playable race?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
A New Class...there is some areas that are sorely lacking.
Would you rather drink beer while playing PF or play PF drinking soda?
Well. Beer. Even though depending on what part of the world you're in I'm possibly underage. I just despise soda.
Would you rather
Have to impress (so that they won't try and kill you)
a goblin tribe
or a kobold tribe
or a group of drow

Would you rather get swallowed by a purple worm or swallowed by a whale?
A whale. I've got an "insider tip" that it works out for people of my religious heritage.
If Paizo did so (), would you rather they made a variant of 1E, 2E, 4E, or 5E (akin to how Pathfinder is to 3.XE)?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Hmm, I've only played 4e, 5e, and heavily home-brewed 2e, and between those options I'd... probably say 4e, honestly.
2e was confusing as all hells, and I have no idea whether the GM's homerules helped or hindered in that respect; I don't want to see THAC0 make a return in any incarnation.
I'm really enjoying 5e at the moment, but it sort of feels halfway between 3 and 4 as it is, so if I wanted to see Paizo's take on something, it would be 4e, as it's a very different creature.
But I'd want it to be what it is: a tabletop strategy game (like CardHunter, which I really love) rather than billed as an 'rpg', if that makes sense.

Free Andoran. Hate the idea of my success keeping someone else down.
Would you rather be reincarnated into the opposite gender or be reincarnated into an enemy race?
Opposite gender is too funny to pass up from a roleplay perspective. I'd go with that. Besides, disguising yourself as the enemy means their enemies will come looking for you which could spell trouble for the rest of the party.
Find a treant in a dense forest full of similar sized trees or a doppelganger in a densely populated area?
Treant. Burn the forest down and watch for which tree starts moving.
Bathe an orc once a month or clean a goblin's teeth once a year?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Goblin teeth, once a year. Easier to subdue a goblin and knock them out.
Would you rather take the test of the Starstone (no guarantee either way you'll survive or pass), or be next in line to rule Cheliax?

Possible destruction or guaranteed eternal damnation? Let's go with the one that DOESN'T sell my soul to Hell.
Would you rather be an Ulfen in the desert or a Kelishite in the mountains?
Kelishite. I can always where more clothes, but I could do little about my naturally-hairy body* (or nothing that I'd feel comfortable with doing). I'd also finally have a skin-tone closer to my Amerindian ancestry, so that'd be kind of cool.
Would you rather, in real life, have a ring of sustenance that provides a constant keep watch, prestidigitation ("clean this ring and the wearer and the wearer's clothes" effect), and mending (targeted on all items worn by the wearer) [price: very roughly 8.5k-value] or a ring of three wishes that held a luckstone embedded into it [price: very roughly 150k-value].
Bear in mind that both of these would have a very-similar-to-game effect/limits/etc. just placed in our own world and would both be effectively unique, and there would be no "market" for them in this world (outside of whatever you could get people to bid for them), so...
* Presupposing I was a keleshite. I'm hairy, but not all that, compared to many of my contemporaries, at least when I was in college.

The Ring of Sustenance. Wishes are cool, yeah, but the stories say that they're almost never worth it. Besides, I never have to buy clothes again!

Okay, now would you rather fight a hydra-sized rabbit, or a rabbit-sized hydra?
Hm...
If it's in our world, a hydra-sized rabbit, as it will implode on itself (or give itself a series of fatal heart-failures) due to its size, and won't be able to move without breaking its bones, and thus won't be able to move far at all. I'd start from 110 ft. away, with a composite longbow. :D
If it's in the PF world, given that I'm effectively a second level commoner*, prooooooobably still the hydra-sized rabbit?
The hydra would be (I believe) slooooowwwwwww, and have really poor strength (I think dropping four size categories like that imparts a -24 to STR, leaving it either paralyzed or with an STR "minimum" of 1 and -10 to CON, leaving 8?), so I could outrun it and I wouldn't fear it's natural attacks (it'd be 1d2-4 damage each with a +1 total attack modifier). While it's fast healing would be rather terrible, it'd lose 25 of its hit points (losing it's CON bonus and taking -1 CON penalty per hit dice) down to 22... so not that bad. It'd lose most of it's nAC (-5 down to +1) but it'd gain in DEX (+8 for 20... or a +5 to it's AC) and it'd gain the size bonus instead of penalty (gaining a total of +4) so that's a net loss.
The rabbit, on the other hand, would get a +24 to STR for a total of 27, would lose 8 from DEX for a total of 8 (a loss of -4 to AC, but with a +5 nAC to offset it, a loss of -4 for size... grand total a change of -3 to its AC or an AC of 12), gain +10 CON (total of 19 CON, and +5 hit points for a total of 8). It's bite would deal 2d6+8 damage and it would gain a +6 total to attack... not a fan.
Either way, I'd have a haste effect up, and still have a composite longbow, starting from 110 ft. away. The rabbit's attack is only once per round (as opposed to five times), and, I could hypothetically take it out with a single successful shot, plus, with a haste effect on, I can outrun him... it's just that it's a deadly, deadly gamble if I lose or make a mistake. On the other hand, the hydra is hypothetically more forgiving if I make a mistake, buuuuuuuuu~t, I'd never really be able to kill it, practically speaking. It's AC would be too high, and it's fast healing would negate any damage I could deal before I could deal it.
If I was a low-level "character" (say a fighter or wizard or something), it'd be the rabbit without hesitation. One decent whack of my sword - two, if I'm unlucky - or two good magic missiles should take care of the thing, easily. If I was a higher level character, the tiny hydra. At which point, the "fight" would be all about taming it and making it my friend, and naming it "Mr. Cuddles" instead.
EDIT: feel free to check my references, if you like. :D
Would you rather have a pet dragon, or a pet angel (presuming the angel is less powerful than the dragon, and the "pet" in question, means they love you and will loyally serve you in any task not inimical to their nature)?

A pet dragon, no questions. Especially if it was something like a psuedodragon or fairy dragon.
Who would you rather have as an archenemy, a dumb sorcerer or a cunning commoner?
