I had a conundrun the other day as I was DM-ing my fine group of powerhungry loot zealots, aka my player friends.
After the party psion (not canon PF I know, but we'll let that slide for now) did a concussion blast on a poor enemy wizard. She did about 25 points of damage, and I described it...
Is this possible? May I use a charge action for a flying monster that has Fly By Attack and move off into the air after my initial charge? (He has perfect flying for the sake of argument.)
I had an interesting discussion the other day with one of my players about something so basic in DND play, I found it hard to convince him of my point due to probably our different understanding of English.
In a session he DM'd, I was playing a cleric wielding a Greatsword two handedly...
I don;t know if it's already stated somewhere, but I never understood why a cleric had to be able to wear any kind of armor or shields whilst also being a caster.
I would say - at the most - a cleric should start with no higher than chain (and no shield use) as possibility, and for anything...
A dichotomy which is easily remedied by not an ingame solution, but an on-table solution. You know your players and their intent and if someone described his actions in a manner that is not as shiny as his character would, you help him out by filling in the gaps. Player enjoys it much more, and...
Actually I do! (In answer to A.)
But mind you, I don't give out extra bonuses to a player's success, but to the party's success. And thusly, I look at the group's collaborative inventiveness rather than one player's glib tongue, so to speak.
Example: Group got arrested a few sessions back for...
Indeed, and those were the ones I was looking forward to using. ;)
But I might just go for the same solution that I once read in a story hour here where a high enough level wizard planted some pseudonatural templates over said summons to avoid the alignment issue.
My cleric sees the use of...
Ah, but there the comedy and group cohesion comes into play! As soon as a situation might seem to go dire, party members will be trying to discreetly put some more favorable items near the barbarian or remove some of the more sensitive items from her vicinity.
Extra comedic amusementy for you...
Something I encountered lately is this:
- May a medium sized character wield Large or even Huge weapons? (Not looking at whether it's effective strength and penalty wise for a moment)
I thought that was ok, but my DM states that he understands the PHB as it not even being possible.
Does a cleric of a certain deity have alignment restrictions on what he can summon from his monster list?
For instance, I have a CN cleric of Farlangh (Neutral). Regardless of his backstory, I argued to my DM that my cleric has no strict evil or good bias. You could say he is not lawful, but...
Grapple is something that has always been too grey for me rules wise to really get to grips with. If anyone has any idea on below situations, I would be very thankful!
- A monster and a PC are grappling with each other. Another PC wants to attack the monster either via ranged or melee. How does...
I sense a diplomacy roll will be needed here soon! ;)
On topic:
I let anyone of my players play out any part of any social encounter they get with roleplay addition whenever they want to which can add about a +2 to a +4 (depending on creative awesomeness) modifier to their social skill roll...
What if you make her a barbarian with some sort of 'can fight with anything as a weapon' affinity. when combat starts, she typically picks up the first thing she has in front of her as long as she can pick it up. Sometimes you'll just have to accept the penalties of weight or size if it's...
