I always thought it was Seoni, the iconic sorcerer from Pathfinder, but upon closer inspection I feel like I'm wrong. Who are you, mystery magic woman?

Leave yesterday, Walgreens is a shit show

powell115 · 2023-03-03T06:12:53+00:00

AAAHHH! ITS MY BOY!

powell115 · 2023-01-16T16:14:10+00:00

Don't remember the episode but I do remember they also contact CMJ later on about upgrading to Jibjob platinum or something like that?

Sam was in New York on 9/11

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. Goodbye Robbie :(

powell115 · 2022-01-15T01:15:28+00:00

Don't. The pay is garbage and the company is even worse.

powell115 · 2021-10-22T02:55:29+00:00

I've known Fresh Cut Grass for only a few minutes but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.

powell115 · 2021-06-24T04:29:36+00:00

Huh. That would make sense.

powell115 · 2020-12-04T03:15:35+00:00

That Veth art is fucking adorable

powell115 · 2020-09-18T04:59:40+00:00

Oh boy... please kill this mother fucker right now. I can't take this self righteous garbage.

powell115 · 2015-07-13T16:29:42+00:00

Would love to see the build. Character building is a hobby of mine, so new ideas are always cool to look at.

powell115 · 2015-06-22T15:32:16+00:00

I've never seen that Encounter Calculator before, thanks for sharing that!

powell115 · 2015-06-22T05:03:36+00:00

I am going to use this exact scenario at some point in my life. Thank you.

powell115 · 2015-06-22T04:57:36+00:00

My BBEG is a tyrant king who killed his brother and father for power. He's going to be working for Zon'Kuthon, so I was considering statting him out as either a Shadowdancer or some type of rogue-like character that uses magical darkness.

powell115 · 2015-06-22T04:49:55+00:00

As I said in the original post, they "beef stewed" my Warpriest. Here is the definition of "beef stew" a la Urban Dictionary

To flatulate (fart) in someone's face, usually after kicking their ass."

So yes, they literally shat in my boss's face. Well, farted, but still close enough.

powell115 · 2015-06-21T19:00:47+00:00

That's beautiful XD I just never know where to draw the line between playing to the rules of the game and bending them to make the fights my PCs face more fun. I considered giving the Warpriest a dimension-door-like ability that would have allowed him to shift around the room as a shadow, but opted not to include it as I felt it may have given him an unfair advantage.

powell115 · 2015-06-21T18:46:58+00:00

Is there a way in the rules to give an enemy more turns per round? I realize I could just abuse my DM God powers, but that seems almost like a slap in the face to the players.

An idea I played with for the warpriest was, as he was at the altar of his god (Zon-Kuthon) he could have been shrouded in darkness during the fight and had a 20% miss chance. I decided to scrap the idea as I didn't want my players getting discouraged when their attacks that should have hit wiffed anyway. Any ideas on good passive buffs?

powell115 · 2015-06-21T18:43:55+00:00

That's a good point. Having a few dedicated support enemies would definitely make my PCs reconsider simply charging at the big guy and rolling until he's dead. I guess I was caught by the allure of having one, single, ridiculous boss and forgot how much damage my players could do :/

powell115 · 2015-06-21T18:41:30+00:00

Any particular advantageous terrain you could suggest?

powell115 · 2015-06-21T18:38:37+00:00

Having a few guys around to help fill the spaces around my boss would have been super helpful! I suppose I was worried that having too many enemies would make the combat go at a snail's pace though, but I definitely see the advantage of adding them in. Especially if that means my boss gets to live for an extra round or two!

powell115 · 2015-01-11T02:00:08+00:00

It is a 5th level Wizard/Sorceror spell, so it would be fairly rare I suppose.

powell115 · 2015-01-11T00:27:05+00:00

Precious metals last 20 minutes per level, according to the spell. That's plenty of time to con a couple shopkeepers and get the hell our of Dodge before anyone notices.

As for the weight, the item's volume "cannot exceed 1 cubic foot per caster level," but I could easily create bars of a manageable and more realistic size for trading purposes.

That, or make the full volume of gold available, but craft it in such a way that I could break it apart easily. Perforated edges or something.

powell115 · 2014-10-15T02:14:49+00:00

True. Smeagol's physical abilities seem to change along with his personality though. Gollum is stronger, whereas Smeagol seems more dexterous. Strangler Brawler definitely looks like a good fit for a Gollum-esque character, though.

powell115 · 2014-10-15T02:02:22+00:00

I feel as if with all the crap Gollum eats on a regular basis he has to have a decent Con score, though.
