That's number ninety-eight.

Mm. It's been said that episodic is the worst kind of plot, and I can see why.

What if all of the interesting rules have gone and passed us by, without the slightest fanfare to mark them? 

But there's nothing to do but put one episode after until it's done.

Fourteen rules left. What's eighty-two?

82. I will not shoot at any of my enemies if they are standing in front of the crucial support beam to a heavy, dangerous, unbalanced structure.

Permalink

I only use mind control and piercing weapons, I don't even know any evocations... although honestly I should.

Do you think anyone would complain if I swapped out irresistible dance for greater shout? I want something that targets Fort and/or hitpoints and isn't completely shut out by protection from evil

Permalink

They say Ileosa murdered the high king... with her voice! Shouted him apart!

Permalink

I'm pretty sure I remember using poison. 

Permalink

Unless you've secretly been running this game for Society credit, I don't think anyone from Paizo is going to show up and arrest you for shuffling out some of the BBEG's spells known.

Permalink

Then I'll add greater shout

Permalink

And I'll try and remember to stand in front of the crucial support beam to a heavy unbalanced structure whenever you use it. :P

Permalink

Now that I know your strategy, I know to build superfluous pillars for you to stand in front of - which aren't load-bearing but are filled with explosive jelly.

Permalink

And now that I know your strategy, I know to bait your minions into standing near the fake pillars so my party can detonate them at range.

Permalink

And now that I know that you know, and now that I know what you plan to do in return, I know to... hold my cards close to my chest, instead of just telling you, like an idiot. 

Nyah nyah.

Permalink

That sounds like something someone would say if they didn't have a counter-strategy.

Permalink

I totally have a counter-strategy.

Permalink

Pics or it didn't happen. 

Permalink

I don't know what that means.

Permalink

What's the counterplay?

I n f o r m me. 

Permalink

Not saying.

Permalink

Ileosa in shambles.

Permalink

What's number eighty-three?

Permalink

83. If I'm eating dinner with the hero, put poison in his goblet, then have to leave the table for any reason, I will order new drinks for both of us instead of trying to decide whether or not to switch with him.

Permalink

While I'm swapping spells around, should I swap second-circle out for delay poison? Bards get it and it lasts hours per level.

Permalink

Delay poison is scroll bait. Do you expect it to come up often enough that it makes sense as a prebuff? 

Permalink

I have relatives who wear it all day and refuse to eat anything without it.

Permalink

Chelish nobles poison each other that often?
