My players looted a magic item shop, an npc ally looted 8 turns in combat the scroll shelf(rolled it as 8d4 scrolls which ended up into 23 scrolls), while after combat players had 1 turn each to loot some other shelf. I don't want them to be scrolls, nor potions but more interesting items that...

I have been wondering about a beastmaster ranger who is wisdom based instead of the usual str/dex, since the beasts attack uses your spell attack instead of anything else(using the tashas cauldron of everything alternate beastmaster class option). I seek advice on if it would be better to...

Hi My players will discover a Polong eventually, and the backstory is that the previous owners of the dungeon used it for their own assassination schemes. However, checking the will save on a polong its a +11, and the inbuilt dominate monster effect is a DC20, so the polong obeys less than half...

Hello, I have prepped a dungeon which has hidden passageway which was supposed to contain this magical bottle that can summon a deadly (red?) ghost undead that can be ordered to target a person in 10 miles (iirc) and kill him. There was some sort of battle of wills (a saving throw) and the...

So here I am checking out the stats of wraith and spectre, because I was wanting to give my players 3 different ghost types to encounter. However! The wraith and spectre are almost identical, but with 2 CR difference! Almost same hp, wraith has HIGHER AC! Is this some sort of oversight or does...

Hello, Simple question: i have cursed undead within a tomb, in which in order to actually defeat them, something special has to be done. Although combat is likely, that isn't the actual solution to put them into real rest. Total amount of curses is 4 different kinds, which each is assigned to a...

So random encounter tables made my players encounter a young blue dragon. The fight for them was easy, but the dragon was able to escape. Any ideas how this will bite them in the buttocks?

Hello everyone! As I have been gamemastering a campaign for a while, and now i have a need for a monster that is able to inflitrate a court, corrupt a king, to make him paranoid and manipulate the king to do what this monster councilor decides to drive for. Think of any cliche evil assistant for...

Long story short, my players found 4 soul gems (looted from vanquished evil outsiders) with souls inside them. They were willing of selling them away for profit on the basis that the souls in them are evil. How evil of an act are my players committing?

...should I reveal it? They are kinda scared of enemies currently as they have previously dealt with only ogres, mushrooms, goblins and hags. Now they have opportunity to duke it out with a behir but they are scared shitless. Should i reveal the cr to give them an idea? I think its kinda meta...

I am a game master, and have created Family hunter (a slayer archetype from horror adventures) adversaries for my players. They have a +1d6 for their sneak attack if targeting the bloodline representative they are hunting. Do the slayers know if they are doing more damage and thus realize that...

Let me elaborate the question a bit more. For example, I am looking at the stat block of an Annis Hag. The annis hag has respectable abilities more towards physical nature; with 3 attacks, damage resistance, spell resistance, rend for bonus damage and grab...why does annis hag have that grab...

Hey guys! I am going to start a new campaign using pathfinder 1e system with my own setting. The background will be that some of the players are sons/daughters of royalty, and some are older former members of the court. In the land they are from a dictator got the king killed. An oracle got a...

Im looking for GM advice: I've noticed the rogues in my party are heavily lacking in effectiveness in combat. How could I change their actions to be more meaningful? in comparison, two-handed axe wielding warriors in my party do 3d6+6 damage, while rogues struggle with bows 1d6+5 or smaller...

Hello! I've been GMing starfinder for a while now and a problem seems to occur: From time and time again, one of my players seems to assume that computers both in ships and everywhere give answers to every question (just like modern day google does), how does technology function in starfinder...

I've been theorycrafting a tanky character that has a main point of getting constantly temporary hit points and having resistance, DR from heavy armor mastery or both. Do note that i don't want to utilize druid in this because i've played that class before. I've looked up options that do this...

I got bored of playing a wizard and my DM allowed me to switch characters. We're playing out of the abyss. My new build is to be a fighter with polearm master and sentinel feats, however as Polearm master lists few weapons that the feat can be used with, im encountering a dilemma. Should I go...

More likely as a ritual. Other peeps at my table say that it has a requirement of constant massing like a bloody idiot, alerting everyone and killing the whole idea of ritualizing said spell, and then cast the spell of silence. I've suggested a houserule of removing V component from silence...

I looked at a topic here whcih was about halforc necromancer, and it made me think about the school. Putting aside the evil argument, can you make it work mechanically? Isnt it odd to play a group of (un)people, besides the other pcs? Have you guys had necromancer pc's and how have you handled it?
