The Gaming Den

One of my classes is disappointing me. They are giving incorrect formulas to calculate certain things and expecting me to figure out where the less is wrong. Note that this isn't the assignment, they just have sloppy errors in the formulas.

I have a bad feeling in general about this...

Before leaving my last apartment my roommate kept inviting people to the game that were actual criminals because he has the hots for thugs. And every time I tried to boot them he would invite them back. And at least one of them was very vocally pro-rape. And a week after they stopped coming over I r...

I remember being a depressed 14 year old and thinking the setting was awesome...

I would imagine the whole "violating the tenets of another religion" would be enough to realize the rules weren't useful. Doesn't Erythnul's tenets say that you should slaughter you enemies? Showing mercy violates that. Doesn't Hextor teach that extortion is the right way to go about confl...

They seem to think that longspears "suck" and would prefer me to use another polearm. I admit the other ones allow maneuvers and deal slightly more damage on average, but my school of thought is that what die you roll matters less than your bonuses, and I don't intend on using maneuvers.j

My reading of the ability is you just can't synthesize something smaller than yourself, but you can go bigger if you like.

I always have a backup character in case of death. Anything reasonably sane that has all its penalties physical stats and all its bonuses in mental?

So, I'm writing a backup character. I'm claiming a Synthesist Summoner based roughly around Iron Man. Advice? Also, I started a mini shitstorm when I mentioned that some assholes on the internet told me that Synthesisit summoners were superior to regular summoners and one of the other players was NO...

Eh, these guys are turning out to be alright, so I'll pass on the passive-aggressive behavior. Although a couple of them are very vocal that they do NOT want me using a longspear for some reason (I don't see how using another type of polearm would make a huge difference. I don't intend on using comb...

They use a silly-high point buy.

So, there's an interesting rule in the Pathfailure game I'm in. If you die and have to re-roll, you have to be one level below where you were before. I'm considering dying until they realize that rule is stupid... Also, the other players are not only min-maxers, they're not that good at it. Granted,...

Rules for druids is good. I didn't like the rules for droids in the d20 version.

Goddamn pathfinder.

They already have one of those in Pathfinder. Maybe you've heard of it.

I want a corrosive hentai tentacle penis...

Or I could just not allow paladins because I don't think they're a unique enough character type.

I am in a group. One that sometime in the future may let me DM (they switch around). Problem is they're all about Pathfinder. If I was DMing pathfinder and simply said "No alignments", how would that change the game other than the obvious? Also, no paladins. If you want to hunt undead and ...

That's what makes the Eberron religions so fake-sounding. Religion doesn't make a damn bit of sense if you're not an adherent.

EDIT: Thought I was in the Finality Brainstorming thread, so never mind

I expect to have a less powerful build than if I played 3.5, so that's not a shock. Alright, I heard that multiclassing got nerfed in Pathfinder. When I play warriors, I typically take either 1 or 3 levels of rogue (depending on the build, on whether I'm using heavy armor, how many levels I expect t...

Gin hangovers are the second worst thing ever (jagermeister hangovers are the worst). Gin hangovers put an end to to my gin phase.

Alright, I got invited to a pathfinder game, and at least 1 person in the group isn't a complete douche (and he says they're not the over-serious type of gamers, which is good for me). If I wanted to play a warrior type using a longspear that jumps around and has mobility skills, what would be the b...

Maybe we'd get it if you weren't a NAZI. Mo' like Lord MistHITLER!
