One such was the phrase 'next weekend'. In my language next weekend means not first following today (that would be 'this weekend'), but the one more then 7 day ahead.

Actually, there is a lot of confusion with that phrase among native english speakers for one. For example, when I say "next" or "this" weekend, I mean it the same exact way you would.

I noticed another bummer with shifters:
if I get reincarnated a) standard table does not contain shifters and b) most of my feats are shifter specific.

Who cares? If Morika dies, and we want to bring her back, we'd almost certainly consult a cleric or a House Jorasco adept, who can cast Raise Dead, I'd think.

 

[Neurotic]

yes, but if any of YOU dies she has Last Breath memorized. You get REINCARNATED immediately. Normal losses for dying, but probably in new body

As this hasn't come up in game yet, I will bring it up now, as Morika almost died last fight. She will ask if anyone wants to be up and running in another body. Otherwise she can use that fourth level spell for something more useful.

FWIW, in Sanne's case, both her dragonmark and the Windwright Captain prestige class require her to be a half-elf. Moreover, much of her identity is wrapped up in House Lyrandar. She would not want to risk coming back as anything other than a Khoravar.

 

[Redclaw]

What exactly're ye implyin' lass? Jes 'cause we're a bit on the short side don' mean there's summat wrong wit bein' a dwarf!

Sorry, I mean Thanor's pretty happy as-is. If his presence might protect someone else, I guess he'd go for it, but he wouldn't be happy if he came back as a stinkin' gobbo.

 

[Rhun]

Yeah, I can't imagine Aeranduil would be happy coming back as anything other than an elf, either...I guess that could just make for oodles of roleplaying fun, though.

 

[Neurotic]

Seems the consensus is then no, don't do it.

We'll see how that plays in-game. And it would be fun if someone turned into kobold especialy tough figter types. or elf-dwarf/orc; dwarf - elf/orc;

Half elf could be interesting if he became full blooded elf.

Should we make changes on standard reincarnation tables to include Everron races? Maybe include small chance let's say level% or 2xlevel% that druid can beseech those forces to return original race?

Morika is somewhat of a fanatic; she would accept reincarnation as the will of nature spirits.

Question for the group -- certain spells affect an area, such as bless, bane, prayer, etc, etc. The text reads "all enemies within XX area" or "all allies within XX area"

So, for example, Yoggrith just cast Bane -- the AOE for that spell reads "All enemies within 50'".

Would you argue that it would extend beyond walls and effect those who currently are not an active "enemy", or only effect those with current hostile intentions (and awareness) of the group, or would it be line-of-sight only (i.e. stopped by walls/etc).

 

[Voadam]

Good question

From the srd

Line of Effect
A line of effect is a straight, unblocked path that indicates what a spell can affect. A line of effect is canceled by a solid barrier. It’s like line of sight for ranged weapons, except that it’s not blocked by fog, darkness, and other factors that limit normal sight.

You must have a clear line of effect to any target that you cast a spell on or to any space in which you wish to create an effect. You must have a clear line of effect to the point of origin of any spell you cast.

A burst, cone, cylinder, or emanation spell affects only an area, creatures, or objects to which it has line of effect from its origin (a spherical burst’s center point, a cone-shaped burst’s starting point, a cylinder’s circle, or an emanation’s point of origin).

An otherwise solid barrier with a hole of at least 1 square foot through it does not block a spell’s line of effect. Such an opening means that the 5-foot length of wall containing the hole is no longer considered a barrier for purposes of a spell’s line of effect.

The area for bane is a flat radius, not a burst or emanation so it I would say it is not blocked by line of effect solid barriers.

 

[pathfinderq1]

I think that line-of-effect would apply, but also that any enemies that enter the area before the duration expires would also be affected.
