Segue: I'm going to need a plumber's snake and some catnip. Thanks, Monkey Santa.
Monkey Santa better watch his butt. Hell hath no fury like a wet cat.

I was saying the opposite, that they didn't cast spells, sorry I wasn't clearer about that!

Not to flog a dead horse, but this.
Drats, it's YouTube!
I hate YouTube!
No worries, man!
I'll Google this Palantiri person if I get curious.

Well, as I see it, Aragorn wasn't really casting a spell. He was using a ( corrupted ) magic item, just like Pippin did accidentally.
Ah... but Aragorn, he controlled the Palantir and 'mind-wrestled' with the Dark Lord via the Palantir.
Pip was along for the ride. Scary ride at that!
And don't forget Aragorn's nature skills. If the elves of Rivendell are magical, then so is Aragorn. He brought back Éowyn from the dead, using a bowl of hot water few leaves of Kingsfoil weed. A weed! How is that not magical?

Okay so not only did we wander into Tolkein territory, we also got discussions on magic items in Middle Earth.
But back to me, because I matter. :p Firstly I never banned paladins. I banned Rogues. :p Also while 2nd edition PF MIGHT be for some people...it's not for me. And it has VERY little to do with granting SOME people their holy champions that aren't definitive paladins of old.
(This is also why when people asked me "Can I play a paladin of Cayden Caelien?" I point them to warpriest.)
Anyways, for me I play Paladins because real life people, while complicated, often suck greatly.

So I sat down last night and worked up a plan to get my house straightened out today. Depression seemed to have lifted so I figured I could do something around the place. Woke up sick as a dog. I can say that because one of my dogs is having the same lower gastrointestinal issues. We make quite a pair today. Looks like nothing will get accomplished today unless it's going to the store to buy some Pepto-Bismol and Gatorade. Blech.

Three new rogue rackets for 2nd edition rogues.
Those are awesome! Well done...although Ruinous Debilitations marks mastermind and not gambler as a pre-req. :)

"Swamping the dice" sounds like a witch hex.
When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to run a Pathfinder game in a swamp, but I ran in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I bought a second pair of dice. And those sank into the swamp. So I bought a third pair. Those were burned down by goblins, fell over, mildly humped by a gelatinous cube, and then sank into the swamp...

Or a slang term for a really disturbing interpersonal act.

Welp.
Just destroyed my War for the Crown party. Or rather, impetuousness and poor tactical decisions destroyed them.
"Ryfon, I don't what the elf custom is, but here in Taldor, we wait for an invitation before entering a gentleman's home."
The player of the elf rolled a wicked high Bluff check saying he had misunderstood the earlier kind gestures of the BBEG. Coupled with a very low Sense Motive on the BBEG's part, I thought they were going to get away with it...
...and then the next player in the initiative order charged up the stairs and at the BBEG, falcata a-wavin.
At that point, the stercus hit the windmill. All those small encounters with mooks they might have whittled down gradually converged on what became a very crowded hallway. End result?
The ONE PLAYER who had tried to bluff his way out of trouble was dead and everyone else was unconscious.
I'm trying to decide whether to continue the campaign with a daring jailbreak or just move on to something else...

Jailbreak sounds good!

So while it wasn't a TPK, it was thanks to both poor rolls (for me, the party paladin) and good rolls for others (specifically our summoner/rogue who managed to make the Use Magic Device check AND roll well on Breath of Life) that we beat up the following: A Cyclops Oracle of Bones, two Tomb Giants (though the second one is probably bleeding to death in the Ethereal Plane...), one Old White Dragon, AND one Graveknight Frost Giant with the simple Fighter template.
So while I did go down...it was worse for the witch who ended up going from 10 hp to -45 in one strike. (I was at 11 hp...)
But hey we made 13th level! ;)

Unfortunately...
Assuming I keep going. I've got a pretty negative opinion of that AP so far--and I'm not overly critical of the AP line. Usually I love them. With this one... I keep finding myself praising the artwork.
