Not quite sure what you're getting at with that part of your story. The rest, yeah I understand. I wouldn't really like to go over to someone's house who I don't really know either. We hold most of our games at the university itself at any rate. The only games that I run from home are online...

A short, 1 on 1 oneshot would certainly be possible, and I'll look into that. Picking up new systems is a bit beyond my financial capabilities though, and I don't think I have the political connections to get away with kidnapping. :P ...She was the one who had the interest in the first place...

I've dealt with actually teaching rules to new players several times now, and gotten several people into the game, but have encountered something new. In those previous incidents either the new player approached me and asked to be taught to play, or I'd say to them "hey I think you might enjoy...

I would totally have joined in! I'm an immature person like that though. :D My roomie hates my joke of asking how many sneak attack dice her dog Rogue gets. It's mostly because I eventually worked out (in detail) in collaboration with her D&D-playing boyfriend that her dog is a Rogue 3/Canine 1...

There's actually a 2012 bodycount thread up already. It just doesn't seem to be seeing much use. Here. Apparently people aren't killing as many PCs this year.

Well, I don't think there's really a way to make it perfect, but let's see... Command Undead: DC = 10 + 1/2 Cleric level + Cha Modifier 20th level Cleric (DC +10) Starting Cha 18 (+2 Racial bonus + 6 Headband of Alluring Charisma + 5 Tome of Leadership and Influence + 5 for levelling) = Cha 36...

Damn. That was intense. I assume the next strip will probably cut back to the order. But maybe not.

...And there goes my entire day. You need to WARN people that you're linking to TV Tropes Frank.

Nah, the MitD is definitely Elan's Team Evil counterpart if there ever was one. Though I suppose one could make an argument towards him being Belkar's, since both have been edging away from evil lately, through the influences of O-Chul and Shojo/Mr. Scruffy respectively Vaarsuvius - Xykon...

Forgot to post it up. Jade Regent claimed another PC. Lance Llandu, Aasimar Cleric 3/Sorcerer 2 (Dreamed of one day becoming a Mystic Theurge) died from constitution poisoning. The Summoner also almost died, but the cleric urged him to drink the last potion of Lesser Restoration, and sacrificed...

Mmm... Tsukiko is basically Haley's Team Evil counterpart (kinda), and Redcloak is Durkon's (again, kinda, Team Evil's not quite as devoted to the evil opposites thing as the Linear Guild after all). So I don't think I'd like to see either die. At least not yet.

The longest I've seen a combat in PF take was an hour and a bit, but that was my first time GMing, and one of the players insisted on looking up every single rule that was used because he was convinced I was making mistakes (I screwed up the grapple rules when I went from memory on the first...

I ran Jade Regent at fast progression previously. The PCs end up able to effortlessly roll through a majority of encounters. They got TPK'd mostly due to bad rolls on crucial saves, and also from a fair bit of bad planning. Certainly wasn't from a lack of PC power or anything. Also, at least as...

One of the summoners in my group dipped into Monk. Not Sohei, but the good saves and ability to flurry with his quarterstaff have been somewhat helpful for him. It depends on the summoner though. This one has built himself to be a front-line fighter alongside his eidolon. A lot of summoners...

Yes, that's our general opinion too. As long as its on someone's person in general, we consider it attended. Just wanted to know what to roll if, for example a weapon was knocked to the ground via disarm, or if a potion was sitting on a table and had not yet been grabbed. And now that...

Ah yes, I read the wording as "Nonintelligent undead will resist suicidal or obviously harmful orders." when it was actually "Nonintelligent undead won't resist suicidal or obviously harmful orders." My mistake.

Okay, before I'm going to get into my actual question on the shatter spell, I'd like to say that it's the general opinion of my group that a holy symbol is not a magic item itself (unless specifically noted), simply a focus for divine magic, and thus can be targeted by a shatter spell. Now...

In my first group our sorcerer tended to cast spells/throw alchemical splash weapons regardless of whether his teammates were present or not. In fact in some cases he seemed to be deliberately aiming for us: "You know if you target your fireball here, you'll catch the zombies at the edge of...

Poor Thanh, but at least he was rather badass in death. And YAAAAAAAY Niu survived!

Bonethrall says that they fall under her control "As if she had used Command Undead". According to command undead, "You can give the subject orders, but you must win an opposed Charisma check to convince it to do anything it wouldn't ordinarily do." And: "When you control a mindless being, you...
