Yeah, Pathfinder took off because 3.x was popular and WOTC abandoned it.

I think the difference in our opinions is how powerful we view Charm Person.

While we are on the topic of laws--one country handles appeals differently. You're always free to appeal a conviction or judgment to the next higher level where you get a new trial. It's double or nothing, though--appeal a 1,000gp fine and lose and you'll pay 2,000gp.

The thing is charm person can also be used to get someone to listen to reason rather than categorically rejecting something. I don't see that use as offensive. I don't think it would be a big issue because I doubt there are very many people in the gray area. The good guys aren't going to...

While I don't try to make the spells themselves crimes the first scenario here would be treated as rape, the second as theft.

Generally, it is unacceptable to teleport (or other such magic) into a country or city without prior permission. Those who show they are good guys, not bad guys will have no problem getting this permission--anyone who has kept their nose clean to the point of being able to use such magic is...

I don't feel the need for such precautions. Creating the new phylactery is an expensive and time-consuming undertaking. You find and destroy the phylactery and then kill the lich while he's vulnerable.

It's been a long time since I looked at it but my understanding is that the lich can have only one phylactery at a time. If it's destroyed he can make a new one with the same costs as creating the original one.

The DM needs to read the rules.

You don't have Nymph's kiss. You have broken the requirements, the feat is gone.

The big deal with the phylactery is finding it, not destroying it.

I certainly wouldn't allow the food to be removed from the mansion--I would say it vanishes if you attempt to take it outside the area of effect of the spell.

I don't think you even need the organization. A band of adventurers that does evil deeds will find their information circulated as here's-a-group-of-bad-guys-please-kill-them. Adventurers have lots of nice loot, somebody's going to hunt them down. They'll also have to deal with assassination...

It depends on where they are. Adventurers will generally go where the action is. That means they'll rarely be in fully peaceful lands. Travelers normally go armed because of wild animals (not to mention bandits), those lacking combat capability generally follow those that have it (and within...

Yup. That's how I handled a CG succubus NPC--I didn't swap anything. She has the abilities she was born with but she will not use her level draining ability at all and she will not use mind control on an enemy.

I would only carry such things in a Handy Haversack or the like--while the bag can be destroyed and the contents lost the contents aren't present to be shattered.

Yup, green slime bombs are *VERY* nasty.

Agreed. The OGL isn't the problem, the problem was a lot of the older people not liking 4E. The OGL was the weakest spot and thus where the failure showed up (in creating Pathfinder) but that doesn't mean the failure wouldn't have shown up elsewhere anyway.

Does that give you a *MOO* attack that does 1hp of good damage? <G>

Yup. It introduces too much variability in the outcome. As for the law/chaos thing that started the thread: I think it has it's place, the problem is that the range between lawful and chaotic is far less than the range between good and evil. Unfortunately, they are modeled as equally big...
