The Gaming Den

Clutch of Cania (Evocation; Cold, Evil, Lawful) Level Sor/Wiz 1 Components V, S As shocking grasp , but it does cold damage, doesn't have a special attack bonus, and the target must make a Reflex save or act as if struck by a tanglefoot bag that can be broken with any damage (not just slashing).

...subjective reality is a great central conceit to wrap a game about magic around. No it's not. It's a cool conceit for single author fiction, but it's terrible for a cooperative game. The market that Mage tapped was the same market that appealed to people who enjoyed the Matrix - reality is an en...

My wife watches Hasbro as a company pretty hard due to her MLP business, and Hasbro as a whole is very risk adverse; MLP, Transformers, etc. They will do the minimum effort 'safe' option continuously, and slowly license other companies to try out something new with their brand (taking all of the ris...

I mean, I don't get why vampires need to be continuously active murder machines. Having them attached to human trafficking in all its forms seems more than sufficient at portraying their monstrous appetites.

What kinds of numbers did you change, besides the sample PC stats?

Mag, does the medicine skill use or need a first aid kit?

Alternate question - is PF2 or D&D supposed to be DBZ?

My party is level 12 and consists of the following, all with a little over 100kgp each in gear: [*] Arcanist: Essentially a sorcerer with a spellbook. His spells prepared is evocation-heavy (his favorite is a 3rd level fireball that does force damage) [*] Cleric: Group healing specialization [*] Ora...

Indonesia isn't part of Asia?

A character on the ethereal picks up a sword with ghost touch that's on the material, but it doesn't matter, because they can't attack anyone on the material.

I'm with Ogrebattle

Judging by how Kaelik has been making references (such as scrolls not burning in the plane of fire when handed between two adventurers who both have fire resistance), it looks like he expects objects picked up to acquire any active buffs of the new wielder. So Wu Jen Antman picks up a stick & se...

Edit incidentally. Janni. What a fuckin stupid monster. It has several different ways to kite and your only defense is to let it run out of arrow even if it doesn’t kite ethereally. Unless it has unlimited arrows with its damage per round it isn’t a threat to a level 4 party even if it fires from e...

If personal-range spells persist on objects after they leave their owner's person, barring the duration naturally ending or the spell description explicitly saying otherwise, what consequences must we consider?

deaddmwalking wrote:So tell me how Giant Form doesn't do increased damage for ranged weapons if your interpretation of unattended objects were a universal rule?

The force imparted by the attacker doesn't shrink.

If objects instantly lose the effect of a personal spell when they become unattended, doesn't this mean poisons gained from polymorph spells functionally don't work? I seem to recall that being an understood facet of 3E

A consequence of Blink (and therefore jaunt) not affecting projectile attacks: janni are TPK machines.

explaining why it doesn't apply to a Xill seems problematic. A detailed explanation for the differences between Planewalk (Su) and Ethereal Jaunt might be helpful to elucidate a distinction, but I can't seem to find something like that. One has a duration. The other doesn't. How is that problematic...

Enlarge/Reduce Person

The reason attacks from the ethereal don't work against material targets isn't because your arm comes up with a 404 error when you swing sword, but because ethereal objects don't interact with the material plane. You suffer zero miss chance with flasks while blinking, because they 100% become materi...

Arrows are physical objects as well. It's not a non-sequitur when flask rogues are expected to get a Ring of Blinking.

Does this work? If not, why?

Is "[a]n ethereal creature can’t attack material creatures" unclear in some way?

Flask rogues.

Cast ethereal jaunt, wield a bow, attack all enemies in the Material plane with impunity.

I have pseudotumour cerebri, which my opthaneurologist has me come in every three months or so (sometimes four) to do a visual field test. Recently (as in a year ago), he started doing a macular-related test (makes me move my eyes while they examine the electrical charge). Should I be worried this t...

I thought playing politics was what Vampire was about. That would mean setting up the proper setting/environment would be the first priority. This means you need clear roles and renewable goals to either promote or maintain your position, along with clear benefits for staying in the game.
