    Tapatalk constantly dredging up old posts

    Not sure if this is the right spot, but my Tapatalk notifications are constantly telling me that there's a new reply in threads from 2012, 2016... and there isn't! Is this purely their algorithm or can you do anything from the enworld side? Today I was told that this post is trending... We...

    Tapatalk notifications stopped?

    Tapatalk is no longer sending me notifications (and hasn't for a while). Reinstalling didn't help, so I was wondering if the plugin was turned off at your end?

    Pathfinder 1E Help - Way of the Wicked character having cold feet (spoilers!)

    (DM ONLY - Spoilers galore) Hey folks, we got off to a great start with this campaign and the party have just delivered the arms to Sakkarot. Next step, tidying up, then on to Balentyne and Aldencross. Except... I just got an email from a player who says his character is having second thoughts...

    Scintillating Pattern question

    Up against a Shining Child (PF monster) the party were hit with a scintillating pattern. The spell should affect 12HD of creatures, meaning that only one PC was affected. He promptly used a Third Eye from MIC to negate the effect. The Scintillating Pattern has a few more rounds of duration left...

    using wish against the party - what does a dm wish for?

    So the party of 5 14th level characters was flying over a demon-infested jungle and spotted a Glabrezu supervising sacrifices on a ziggurat. The cultists quaffed potions of fly and rose to meet them. The Glabrezu telepathically instructs one cultist that he is now his favourite, and may use a...

    Another Polymorph question

    Having read many conflicting opinions and being fed up arguing with my players it's time to start another polymorph headache thread. Sorry guys, I'll have to rely on your patience here :-) The situation is the 14th level party I'm DM-ing for. The game is going well (all the way from 1st), the...

    Nondetection vs Sending?

    Quick question - do you need to make a caster level check to transmit a sending to someone using nondetection? Fluff says no, snice it is not a detect spell or crystal ball/scry type spell. Crunch seems to say yes, since it is still a divination. I'm DM and asked the player to make the check to...

    stunned freedom of movement

    Tricky situation in the game last night. The party fighter was stunned by a mind flayers while flying just above the ground. He had a freedom of movement spell active. The mind flayer decided to go for brains, and carefully sent its tentacles into position. (touch attack no damage as opposed to...

    Is there no way to stop a spellthief stealing a spell?

    It doesn't happen very often, and it makes the player's night, but sometimes it's rather annoying that bad guys with magic get decimated so quickly by the party spellthief! Greater Invisible, Flying, sneak-attacking with two daggers per round and using all the sneak dice to take spells, she can...

    Vrocks: not exactly scary in the air

    I was so looking forward to DM-ing a dramatic aerial battle with my group vs some Vrocks. I'd bought Vrock minis months in advance, invested in Combat Tiers flight bases, everything. Unfortunately the evil roosters turned out to be a bit of a damp squib. With their average flying ability they...

    Pimp my spooky tomb encounter

    Would you guys be able to help me with another brainstorming session? Next week I’ve got a party of 5 10th level characters going into the last section of an Aztec style tomb. I’ve been retooling the Rakasta (cat people) temple from Savage Tide to make it a bit of a challenge for my pimped up...

    Flying and carrying another PC

    One that came up in game last night. One fighter, under the influence of a Fly spell, was transporting another fighter down a chute to a ledge. He wanted to descend using Total Defense and then a Fly move action. I was more inclined to count them both as being in grapple and the discussion was...

    Bestiary PDF also $9.99

    Vic just revealed that the Bestiary pdf will be as inexpensive as the RPG - $9.99. That gets a nice solid base for PFRPG out there at a reasonable price - and lets everyone see how pretty the books are and gets them to buy real ones. At least - that worked for the rest of my gaming group when...

    Making an Eldritch Disciple

    I'm making a new character and have decided to make an Eldritch Disciple. I love the versatility and self/sufficiency of the class, and have my heart set on the Healing Blast Gift. The character will begin at 7th level, with 19,000 gp for equipment. We rolled stats and I lucked out with 7, 11...

    6th level Cleric/Druid tips, 28-pt buy, low-magic, mostly 3.0

    I've got a weekend game coming up in a few days and need to make a 6th level character. I'm thinking Cleric or Druid. There are so many builds I have got lost - can you suggest one or two of each please? The DM has piled on a lot of restrictions - it'll be low magic so 9000gp with no one item...

    Running a short game for first time players at school

    I teach at a High School in the Netherlands and a few kids (13-15 years old) have asked me to run a game in the last week. Have you guys any tips? I'm undecided whether to run 3e (my fave) or 4e (fun and probably easier for them to grasp) so your experiences would be appreciated. I'm also...

    Archer/Cleric for a one-off, funky stats

    Could you guys give me some ideas, please? We're running a short adventure and I've decided I want to try the infamous archer/cleric. We're all elves. We start at level 5 and rolled the stats. I got: 15, 13, 13, 12, 11, 5 Haha! The DM says it's a nasty, undead-heavy scenario and okayed my...

    Swapping item slots

    I'm organising a weekend game and just got a mail from a player who's working on his character. He has two questions and I don't know if he's going too far or being reasonable... 1) He wants to swap a lot of item slots around to get his 'perfect' build - headband in a robe, another headband in...

    In our Savage Tide game the party have finally reached Farshore. For non-ST folks, the party have finally reached the town they will be based in for the next few months. It's a small outpost on the Isle of Dread, and when they arrive it's under attack by pirates. The party are 8th and 9th level...
