I don’t think he ever had much of a chance to be anything else, given who he was raised by.

Frank himself (or at least his authors) agree.

Careful what you wish for, that probably isn’t out of the question.

That’s almost literally exactly what RCV is.

Yes.

ODST-Dropping your barbarian is objectively the best way to have him enter combat, and it inflicts psychological damage to anyone close enough to witness it.

Raistlin has a great Con score, it’s just on Caramon’s character sheet.

If you can’t make your own saves, make sure you keep a big musclehead around to make them for you.

Off the top of my head:

• Cast Fly yourselves or purchase/acquire some boots of flying
• Elemental resistance or immunity vs the element of dragon’s breath you expect to be meeting, from the Protection From Energy spell or from equippable gear
• If you’re confident in your spell save DC, Hold Monster is a fun one to cast on any flying creatures
• buy a bow and arrow
• better yet, buy a ballista and a mule to tow it around
• buy a couple dozen health potions that you chug furiously on the rounds that you aren’t being breath-attack-strafed
• have the fighter make consecutive grapple checks to Los Tiburon the dragon into the fucking dirt

There are a lot of ways to deal with this, you just have to get creative and maybe set yourselves a short side quest or two to acquire what you need for the real job. Half of the above suggestions can be accomplished by a single tactically minded cleric, and no arcane caster worth his salt isn’t going to know how to fly by level five, wizards that can’t fly generally don’t live very long and sorcerors that can’t fly don’t get laid.

PLEASE BE QUICK ABOUT IT, I HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO GET TO.

“Uhh… Wrong door, sorry.”

As per the 2024 rules update (which I have beef with but am using here to make my point) :

Resurrection

Level 7 Necromancy (Bard, Cleric)

Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (a diamond worth 1,000+ GP, which the spell consumes) Duration: Instantaneous

With a touch, you revive a dead creature that has been dead for no more than a century, didn’t die of old age, and wasn’t Undead when it died.

The creature returns to life with all its Hit Points. This spell also neutralizes any poisons that affected the creature at the time of death. This spell closes all mortal wounds and restores any missing body parts.

Coming back from the dead is an ordeal. The target takes a −4 penalty to D20 Tests. Every time the target finishes a Long Rest, the penalty is reduced by 1 until it becomes 0.

Casting this spell to revive a creature that has been dead for 365 days or longer taxes you. Until you finish a Long Rest, you can’t cast spells again, and you have Disadvantage on D20 Tests.

I cast Resurrection on the lich BBEG. In 5e Resurrection no longer states that the soul must be willing to return in order for it to work, and there’s no save, so it should just work if I’m able to touch him. Takes an hour to cast but we’re not worried about that right now.

Does it resurrect him properly? New mortal flesh, soul stuffed into it, meaning he is now no longer immortal and loses most of his legendary actions, and the phylactery becomes inert because it’s no longer containing a soul? Extending from this, is a proper resurrection just a “get out of undeath free” card and if so why don’t we see it used on every undead? It specifies and wasn’t Undead when it died but I think most Undead go from Living to Dead to Undead in that order, liches included.

Does it just instantly dust him, like throwing a Phoenix Down at an undead does in Final Fantasy?

This used to be a solved problem, but between 2014 and 2024 they changed the wording on Resurrection from

You touch a dead creature that has been dead for no more than a century, that didn’t die of old age, and that isn’t undead. If its soul is free and willing, the target returns to life with all its hit points.

to, now:

With a touch, you revive a dead creature that has been dead for no more than a century, didn’t die of old age, and wasn’t Undead when it died.

There must be a reason why this was changed. I need answers.

But then you don’t know how your gear scales! That’s important knowledge!

If they were making a less number-crunchy game then I might agree with you but this is kind of just the nature of Pathfinder, honestly. It’s a game for numbers nerds and your objective is to stack +68 to your attack rolls or saves via as many different avenues as possible. This isn’t really Owlcat’s fault I don’t think, it’s more just a consequence of choosing Pathfinder as the system to run your game in.

To each their own, I love seeing the math because then I can miss six attacks in a row and go “Fuck you! That’s bullshit! Those rolls are bullshit!” and then look in the combat log to see that no, those rolls weren’t bullshit, they’re just shit. Makes the game feel more fair. If they obfuscated the math and just said “Nah mate, you miss” x6 with no other explanation that would really piss me off.

A shop that can’t defend its premises and inventory is just a donation bin for the local thieves’ guild.

Bad optics, at that. Hegseth just created the single largest opsec failure that the US has seen in over a century and used it to complain to career military generals that they look too woke.

If literally any other man tried this at any other time in American history he’d be in front of a court martial so fast your head would spin.

This is how my campaign ended up with Grond the ogre and Fëanor the magic item craftsman.

Skip the merch, just set up a “think tank” or a “foundation”, you do not need to deliver a product to separate these people from their money

They’ll try, and our current crop of government would allow it

Way to dodge the question, Chuck

You sure about that?

Police have arrested 474 people at a demonstration in London in support of banned group Palestine Action.

The Metropolitan Police said 466 protesters were arrested for supporting the group, five for assaults on police officers, two for public order offences, and one for a racially aggravated offence.

I’ve been encouraging everyone to treat this as the wacko conspiracy theory that it probably is, but hear me out.

MTG is one of the least credible people in the US Government right now and everyone knows it. She lies her ass off constantly. This is the woman that heard there was a wildfire burning in California and then went straight onto the national news to tell everyone that the Jews did it with their orbital lasers.

What better person to destroy all credibility of the Epstien files? Everyone keeps talking about them and won’t stop, so let’s “solve” this by siccing our attack liar on it. Even if MTG came right out and read the files on live TV word for word it won’t, and indeed can’t, be trusted by anyone. She’s the one person on the red team that they can safely let spout off about this without anyone taking her seriously. No other Republican will touch it with a ten foot pole, and everyone else talking about it are Democrats.

I honestly believe this is engineered to have the least amount of credibility possible while still technically “doing something” about the situation.
