I was just looking to see how many rounds before the charm was broken. My bad, I didn't realize A. You were impotent (I gave u undue credit) and B. It was a day thing.

Thats okay.

>>178263
So you made 20 spam rolls instead of just asking how the spell worked? How mature.
Sense Motive doesn't have retries.

>>178268
Youre criticising me for maturity? Or spam? Or,...

>>178285 →
No saves, huh?
Funny, just an hour ago you were threatening to do exactly this.

>>178287
Checkmate in 2 or less

>>178296
What checkmate?
You got targeted with an effect, and now you're chickening out because you don't want your character to die, even though you threatened to kill the whole party just earlier.

>>178252
Oh, I didn't notice you slip in during all the commotion. I'd have addressed this during if I had.

I really hope you got that out of your system, cuz it's the last time it will be tolerated.
Out of respect for those who have been respectable, I will take the time to explain in detail why yesterday happened the way it did, and why it had to happen that way to avoid PF knocking over a domino leading to an inevitable conflagration that yes - Brie would be at the center of, and is caused by one of the most classic red flags - "It's what my character would do".

The assertion is that Posey does her stupid gaze, lol everyone likes the bat for another 24 hours cuz hes nicer. 24 hours later he wonders why he thought so highly of this insufferable "unicorn that totally isn't undead but thats okay", before he figures it out. He then begins a double-cross plan (cuz fucking with his mind in ANY way is a betrayal, idgaf who you are) that results in a tpk.

Now, I can see that Brie is a walking red flag. As a player, my other characters would give him a wide berth, at LEAST until we've done something to establish a non-adversarial rapport. I would avoid poking the obviously intentional and unstable bat, or in this case, introducing myself with something that could be considered adversarial.

Silly me.

As to the spamming, yes that's my bad. I've been playing 5e exclusively lately, and I was more interested in rerolling my saving throw to determine how many rounds before the spell broke. I get the editions mixed up all the time, it's hard to keep them together when you've got three decades of rp, in most all editions, to sort through in your head on the fly. I'll do better on that front and offer my sincere apologies to everyone in thread who was offended and has never spammed before.

In conclusion:
As a PLAYER I will be happy to ENTERTAIN HAHA SCENARIOS that involve temporary mind altering spells IN ADVANCE so we can AVOID misunderstandings and potential tpks.
I will also remind that how one person assumes their actions will be interpreted does not represent the envelope of possible interpretations and responses, and responses that the person doesn't recognize as valid doesn't invalidate the other person's reception.

I was talking to Stix about it last night. Up at the mill in WA there's this dude named Rusty. Rusty is kind of a basic bitch, been around 5 years and semi-tight with the company royals, and he decides he's gonna fuck with the quiet new guy. So he walks up and pinches - not hard, just a firm pinch - the guy's nipple.
Well.
As the new guy, I tore his asshole up and down the piling chain all the way up to the foreman's office, precisely explaining I didn't care what he and his fuckwits think is acceptable/appropriate, that if he ever fucked around like that again I would have his job and THEN I'd smear him across the parking lot.
The foreman thanked me for how I handled the situation.
Just how I roll.

Oh, and one last thing.
GM calls the shots. Didn't think I had to specifically say that, you've been playing for what, 4 years now? 5? You should know better.

>>178358
>cuz it's the last time it will be tolerated
What are you going to do about it?

>>178358
>He then begins a double-cross plan (cuz fucking with his mind in ANY way is a betrayal, idgaf who you are) that results in a tpk.
Do it. Watch yourself get paralyzed and killed at the first opportunity.

>>178359
>GM calls the shots.
Why do you think people would indulge your TPK fantasies, but not you and only you being killed then and there? You make no sense.

Must be lonely

>>178358
>so we can AVOID misunderstandings and potential tpks
There you go with the empty threats again. You could not kill me even if you tried, and even if you did I wouldn't be bothered.
Why do you think you can attack the party when you wouldn't even roll saves vs a hostile spell without explicit orders to? Did you get permission to TPK? No. If I need permission to kill you, you need permission to kill us.
>As to the spamming, yes that's my bad. I've been playing 5e exclusively lately, and I was more interested in rerolling my saving throw to determine how many rounds before the spell broke.
5e Charm Person doesn't give you a new save every round to break the spell. You roll once, and if you fail you are changed for the duration.
>I get the editions mixed up all the time
You should have read spell descriptions before you starting spamming like an idiot. Unlike 5e, 3.5e charm person doesn't say that the creature knows it was charmed after the spell ends.
>Brie is a walking red flag. As a player, my other characters would give him a wide berth, at LEAST until we've done something to establish a non-adversarial rapport. I would avoid poking the obviously intentional and unstable bat
Ah, the old "it's what my character would do" fallacy. Funny how it only applies when you're threatening to kill the party, and not when someone else kills you.

>>178366
Aren't you tired?

>>178367
Why would I be?

Youve been doing mental gymnastics all morning. Theres plenty of ways to kill a party without directly attacking anyone. You think I'd just go "Rah, stab!"? Please. If I have to, you wont see it coming, and it won't come down to a saving throw.
>its what my character would do
That is why you tried to pull the stupid trick right? Its what your character would do?
Thats my point. Lets not play "what my character would do", and if you dont instigate, I wont have to respond, K?

>>178369
>all morning
It made a few posts over the course of ~30 minutes. It's Saturday morning and I have the whole day ahead of me to shitpost, until my other game session starts.
>Theres plenty of ways to kill a party without directly attacking anyone.
Do it. I dare you to.
>If I have to, you wont see it coming, and it won't come down to a saving throw.
Or I could just kill you now and never have to deal with that possibility.

>>178370
>Do it. I dare you to
The fuck is your problem dude?

>>178371
I have no problem. I'm not afraid of your threats. You think I care about the possibility of an imaginary sorceress dying in a make-believe place?

That was for the "I have no prpblems" (which if you know anything about linguistics you know,...)
Beyond that, no I dont think you are. Its quite clear youll sacrifice her and every other player for SOME reason that youre simply gonna have to work out on your own

It’s 9 in the damn morning. Why are you even awake, nevermind arguing over that stupid charm person spell you two spent way too much time on yesterday?

>>178374
>Its quite clear youll sacrifice her and every other player
That's YOUR decision.

>>178375
Wym why awake? I get up at 4 every morning. Besides, this was never about the charm spell

>>178377
Either, youre not allpwed to instigate with me, or I get to instigate with as much reckless abandon as you.
Im sure GM would love yo deal with it
.
Or, get off your high horse and stop trying to instigate

>>178379
>Either, youre not allpwed to instigate with me, or I get to instigate with as much reckless abandon as you.
Okay, does that mean I get to Ghoul-Touch you now? I'll take that gamble.

>>178381
Why would the GM indulge your TPK plan, but not my snapping-a-bats-neck plan?
Of course, it's all up to the GM; I know that well. That's why I know your TPK threat is toothless.
If you can kill us, I can kill you.

>>178382
And if you attack me - even "minimally" - I can kill you.
So dont start none, wont be none. Why is this so difficult for you to understand.
If another player has to roll a saving throw, youre in the wrong

>>178383
>And if you attack me - even "minimally" - I can kill you.
Okay, I'll accept your challenge. Let's do it. Roll the saving throws for that Ghoul Touch.

What a beautiful display of animus. I hope Im not the only one seeing this.

No. I dont want to play your game, Im here to play GM's game. Goodbye, youve been notified and our business is ended. Faff about if you must.

>>178383
>So dont start none, wont be none.
Faggot, the only one who is "starting none" is (You) with your empty TPK threats.
It has already been established that charms don't work on PCs: Rosey Ring could not even charm Brie even if I wanted her to. If you're going to keep threatening to kill us, I will kill you right now.
>>178385
>I dont want to play your game, Im here to play GM's game.
What part of that involved killing the party?

>>178383
>If another player has to roll a saving throw, youre in the wrong
If the entire party is being killed by your character, you are in the wrong.
The only thing gayer than killing your party is threatening to do it OOC.

*sighs* In that this remains a teachable moment, the most constructive method to engage in shenanigens of that sort would be for one player to forst reach out to GM and say what they more or less want to do and get their opinion/position first.
Afterward, the action can then occur with GM's knowledge, blessing, and input as needed.
In this manner, the recipient player can experience the desired surprise and lack of foreknowledge, but can then reach out to GM to better understand what is permissible and in what spirit the exchange is occurring.
It is quite easy for two individials to equally jump the gun.

[>>178393
>the action can then occur with GM's knowledge, blessing, and input as needed
I wasn't aware of any TPK plans being approved.

>>178394
If you had asked GM he would have told you no and/or only if I permit the charm, and would likely have been on hand so that your insufferability didn't ruin anyone's fun, which is what your intent seems to be. Now for fucks sake, drop it

>>178395
>GM he would have told you no and/or only if I permit the charm
He told us that anyway. Your TPK threats were unnecessary.
>your insufferability didn't ruin anyone's fun, which is what your intent seems to be.
It was (You) who threatened to kill the rest of the party and made a fool of yourself by making dozens of obnoxious spam-rolls.

>>178400
I have already spoken to the spam,the cause for want to tpk (reactionary) and everything else.

When will you own your shit?

>>178406
>When will you own your shit?
I don't know what that's even supposed to mean. I own everything I've done, everything I'm doing, and everything I ever will do.

>>178407
Then whats your deal?

<Ah spose it be fate that me firs' ooficial customer be thissin hissin.
<Alright fella, lemme 'splain the point o' this 'ere restaurant n grill

<This 'building' sits in,... (dispensing with the accent)
... a pocket dimension between the abyss and abator. There are many routes around through alternate planes, but the frontline of the blood war no longer exists. In it's place has erected a slightly shimmering wall resembling black crushed velvet. Pushing past reveals a darkened plane leading directly (in a slightly reality-warping sense) to a rickety building with occasionally blinking lights.
