Message: <blockquote data-quote="Glade Riven" data-source="post: 5759998" data-attributes="member: 86468">Spell check one of my posts on a forum? Okay, fine; if I have to. I guess. I am a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants dungeon master with a high reading comprehension and the ability to quickly track down various minutia in the rules. “Wit” may be at times a tall order, yet sarcasm comes easily enough. I do have a little bit of experience copy writing (as in, writing copy for publication) and a full fledged degree in bull (specifically BFA Graphic Design). I actually understand the point of the monk class and do not want to rebuild it into something overpower. One project of mine is a Pathfinder Compatible campaign setting. On the odd chance that I get the job, I will not be pimping it in the column. Well, at least I won't be pimping it in the column without asking permission. I will pimp it in the forum itself, since I use Enworld as a way to at least try to get feedback on the campaign setting. Here is an excerpt from a first draft:[sblock]SiglundForsaken of the Light For centuries they fought for Irkusk, along side the dwarven legions to protect their home from the drow menace. Betrayed by one of the legion when he let the drow pass through the Frostwall unhindered, the armies of Siglund turned their backs on their dwarven overlords and sought dark powers themselves in order to fight back. Siglund is ruled by the twelve Lords of Night, a council of vampires that maintain strict control over the country. They in turn have sired dhampir offspring. Most under their rule are mortals (typically human), but each mortal is enlisted in the army for the duration of their afterlife. Undead warriors protect Siglund from the current Irkuskan Legion, holding them at bay. Political intrigue constantly has the Twelve Lords at each other's throats, with each one attempting to gain power and influence over the others. Open bickering at the council table in the capital is rare, but the veneer of politeness is quite thin. Different Lords are being wooed by outside influences, with promises of support. Rumor has it that one or more Lord has ties to the new Irkuskan government, making them traitors to the rest. Legality and rule of law is often merely a public facade, with each noble having their own network of spies, assassins, and secret police. Design Notes: Siglund is both a land of gothic horror and a hotbed of some of the deadliest political intrigue. It is a great place for either a classic Slay-The-Vampire campaign, or a more modern mix of forbidden romance and twisted politics. Either or both make great options for players and game masters[/sblock]To answer an example question, I pulled one from the forum without reading the responses in the thread. Pielorinho asked, “I cast a minor image of a wall. An enemy makes his spellcraft check and walks right through it. I use my wand to create a minor image. Does the enemy get a spellcraft check? (I don't think so, since it's a spell trigger item, but figure I should check).” Answer: If the enemy sees the spell being cast and is trained in the skill, he does get a spellcraft check. The Pathfinder Core Rulebook chapter on skills does not indicate that there is a difference between whether or not a spell is cast by a spell caster or by a spell trigger item. If the enemy did not see the spell being cast, then the enemy only receives a will save as per the spell's description. At the table, this could lead to an interesting event where the spellcraft check succeeded, but the will save failed. “I know what this is, but it still scares me!”</blockquote>
