It's a hard one. You need the narrative power to make your opponent act foolishly in order to simulate most of those scenes.

Check out the reaction from the female judge. Gold.

Paizo are currently committed to a clear editorial policy: Never admit mistakes. Never fix anything.

Mmh. I recently commented that the lvl 15 pregens for the last volume of an Adventure Path we're the usual shit, but the Wizard looked actively sandbagged*. I still think they did it on purpose. *His 2 8th-level spells. Polar Ray, ranged touch +6 for 15d6 cold damage +1d4 dex. The other is Iron Body...

Man, Palladium was askin for my money YEARS before Kickstarter made it cool! The only project I've seen that I want to GIVE MY MONEY to though is Phil Tippet's Mad God. A new stop motion sci fi exploration horror movie, yess http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/madgod/phil-tippetts-mad-god http://ww...

EDIT: I noticed the bit you mentioned about "approached very delicately". Fuck that shit. Tell him straight up. Otherwise he's being a passive aggressive bully and you're enabling him. Agreed. Fuck that noise. Also, he's making you his bitch. Really, he is. As soon as you start thinking h...

No, it makes perfect sense. Generally speaking, people don't go around threatening authority figures or other people for that matter. It's a bad idea 95% of the time and you're only going to convince people that you're a colossal dick. No, that's real-world thinking, it doesn't work that way in D&a...

Grip Mastery is "change grip as a free action, instead of a Ready". I dont remember if spears have different reach-grips. Another use of Grip Mastery is stab with spear, then shift into staff-grip for +2 parry.

Get enough Move for a 2-hex step. set your strength at a thrust damage breakpoint. Get ALL the perks. Grip Mastery, for example.

What. Do you want. Your table. To achieve?

Don't ask for a tool before you know the task(, young grasshopper!).

The only time I have a problem with min-maxing is when it creates a situation where there's some serious intraparty balance problem, or when a character's power level makes the type of story we want to play untenable. If we're playing a game where typical, Hollywood-style werewolves are supposed to...

Wear and Tear Costs of Doing Business It's more expensive to eat out, even if all you're doing is eating Chinese food in your car on a stake out. Getting the seat you want may require slipping the hostess some cheese. If you don't go home, you'll need to get new clothes from somewhere if you don't ...

I'm curious to hear the rationale of bloodlines being considered anything close to overpowered. I've always considered them weak to the point of not being worth using.. It's not about the bloodline abilities, those are fairly irrelevant, it's all about "advancing class abilities" shenanig...

Yeah, the fact that a straight-up mentally ill person like Santorum is in the top four candidates for president is downright scary to the rest of the world.

Multimillionaires living in ratholes to avoid spending POWER is not a thing that should exist at all. MIllionaires should only live in ratholes under two circumstances: They're laying low, or they're part of the community. Neither is cheap, though. Laying low means you're burning false IDs and bribe...

On Libertarianism: "Freedom" to attack minorities and polluting other's property isn't consistent libertarianism, as it infringes on the rights of other's property and dignities.... If it seems that Libertarians don't have an ideology, it's because conservatives and segregationists who th...

Also, Pirates of the Inner Sea is ridiculously bad, even by PF standards (but still not as bad as Dragon Empires Primer). But on the plus side for team Paizo, James Jacobs has admitted that the core races are NOT all going to fit into a 10 point scheme in the Master Race Handbook.

Well, usually there are at least a couple of ideas to salvage, thanks to the multiple rounds with different goals each. I sometimes scroll through their archives when I need a singe weird item/monster/npc and I'm too lazy to pick up my books. But yeah, primarily its just a huge pile of stuff, and y...

I've been invited to a Pathfinder game and it has been suggested that a melee class might be helpful. If I were to do this, what's the least painful melee I could go with? 15 point buy, pathfinder books only with the exception of psionics. We're using errata generally so smite only does double dama...

The third part of the Trifecta of Awful is Hybrid, aka "The TimeCube of RPGs". The contender for RaHoWa's spot is Wraetuthu, a game about effeminate acid-spewing flower penis rape.

Drunk, yelling and treacherous... sounds like you got it right.

Also, the whole "obfuscate anything from 4E with haphazard description" thing. So instead of Minor/Move/Standard we have a bunch of separate descriptions of the same thing. That's just pathetic. Which is amazing, because 4E's codifying of the turn into "Standard/Move/Minor/Immediate/...

Ow, my brain is full of fuck. Why oh why did I read and answer a post by that crazy Grogtard?

so the fighter hits things hard, and the druid protects the land from abuse.

One of these is a How and/or What, the other is a Why, which should never be a class issue in the first place. How can you not understand that, you drooling retard?
