Wait, but shouldn't they have a bonus to a stat for every four hitdice they have? What if they used one of those to bump an eleven up to twelve, or a ten to eleven?

Racial hitdice don't give bonus stats -

It says in the Bestiary -

unless they're being added to an existing creature.

Or, another way to think of it is that the ogre's 4HD bonus is factored into their +10 Strength.

However you conceptualize it, the creatures you check will have three even stats and three odds, for three tens and three elevens.

Unless you're playing with Barry, who delights in killing his players.

I do delight in killing players, that is true.

Doc, is the patient stable?

If I lift one of her eyelids, does the pupil dilate?

Was that 27 for Heal meant to be your bare glance, or are you spending your standard action on a more thorough check?

Right right. If barely glancing doesn't show anything mundanely obvious, I'll spend my standard action on detect magic.

The Field Marshall is carrying a number of magic items, and is magically enlarged, but what you notice first and foremost are the overwhelming echoes of deity-level magic.

We're level three!

Am I Stunned?

Nah, being overwhelmed by a magic aura has no rules text to it. Ordinarily it'd feel fair here to lift the rules for overwhelming alignment auras, but rules are that the aura is supposed to already be dimmer than a faint aura "Lingering Aura: A magical aura lingers after its original source dissipates (in the case of a spell) or is destroyed (in the case of a magic item). If detect magic is cast and directed at such a location, the spell indicates an aura strength of dim (even weaker than a faint aura). How long the aura lingers at this dim level depends on its original power:" even if that dim aura is going to stick around for 1d6 = 3 days.

If you'd been looking directly at the spell-like ability when it was cast, now, that'd be a different story.

Ow.

I'll just sit here being eaten alive by thousands of spiders, this is fine.

What in the Hells was that?

He didn't even see that last punch coming, but now it's all just - stars.

If our friendly NPCs are being directly murdered by gods, I... don't know where this campaign is going or what we're supposed to do about it.

Um.

I also thought that was against the rules.

Does Lyvina have any ideas for what just happened? Knowledge (religion) says 1d20+11 = 15.

Lyvina thinks that it matches the description of a divinely granted vision, which is supposed to be fairly debilitating on the mortal's end of things.

That's...

Genius.

We know that visions are allowed by their treaties, because duh, so now that the gods are fighting they're using them as weapons!

You clerics should start praying too, so we're not the only side taking flak.

It could have been a friendly vision.
