Re: What if Real Life worked by RAW?
Well, I guess it would make political scandals more interesting, but then doctors in clinics would probably need mind bleach for stories as to where these afflictions originated from. As in, someone would have to research a spell named mind bleach.
EDIT: That is, assuming that all of the world's doctors haven't run off to spar with people to try to trade out their RHD for cleric or wizard levels.Last edited by Honest Tiefling; 2011-07-20 at 07:43 PM.

Re: What if Real Life worked by RAW?
The problem of course would be that they choose to use Perform (Oratory)… and nothing would have changed. They could say absolutely nothing in such an inspiring way that we'd follow them to the ends of the Earth to defend it.
Then again, you'd have those politicians who instead use Perform (Weapon Drill)… and that's a whole other can of worms.

That is why you pass laws that all speeches, hearings and discussions must happen in song and dance form.
What would be worse is fire performances, but luckily you do not automatically fail on a 1.

Naw, that's how [INSERT TINFOIL HAT CONSPIRACY GROUP] would run the government behind the scenes.
Well, keep in mind that diseases are usually Fort based, so people would get infected less. And also, no need for research, you just need to get past the anti-[evil] agenda to cast Mindrape."Okay, so I'm going to quick draw and dual wield these one-pound caltrops as improvised weapons..."

Professional wrestling is never invented because the rules for grapple are too complicated.

Re: What if Real Life worked by RAW?
I'd say the commoner railgun is pretty viable. A similar effect can also be achieved with the Truenamer utterance Speed of the Zephyr and a suitably long wall.
So you can end effects like mortality, or being human, or gravity, or the need to breathe? What if you end the effect "not having Str 50"?

Re: What if Real Life worked by RAW?
Attempting to use Iron Heart Surge can often lead to the player removing the 'not being beaten upside the head' condition.

Re: What if Real Life worked by RAW?
Then you can just remove the condition of the player "not having AC 5000". Because Iron Heart Surge can affect the player too, since the player's mental condition affects the character; hence, the player's pain and blunt force head trauma affect the character and can be removed.

Re: What if Real Life worked by RAW?
I think if there was a DM of real life, your strategy would either make them explode or weep.

Re: What if Real Life worked by RAW?
If the world worked by RAW
Cat owners are feared and prosicuted by everyone, and cat ladys are some of the most powerful Druids around.
Grabbing anyone visably slows down time around the person, as reality attempts to remember how the grappling rules work again.
Lunitics wandering around, breaking into peoples homes and taking there stuff are a major issue for any town, for there aften very powerful and screaming " I am a PC! Leave me in peace!'
Martial arts movies become a whole lot cooler.
Every goverment position is filled with Rouges and Bards. Nothing realy changed,
LcB is the new nukes.
Most menile jobs are handeled by the undead or golems.
Your average man on the streets may be a commener or a Barbarien with all his rages left. Take caution.

As a question, has anyone ever gotten the commoner rail gun to work with cat ammunition?

Re: What if Real Life worked by RAW?
"They called me mad, mad I say! Said I could never train cats. But now I have ranks in handle animal, and training a cat is just as easy as training a dog under these rules!"
If it were like this, I would be an outcast druid or ranger, on the run, gathering as many stray cats as possible with my wild empathy ability, to save them from death. I have a good enough wisdom score (at least 14) to be a druid or ranger. I would multiclass a level of wizard so I could have the alarm spell, plus grease and some other stuff is useful. Wish I could multiclass sorcerer, but that's why there's the spell mastery feat, since I don't have high enough charisma.Avatar of George the Dragon Slayer, from the upcoming Indivisible!

Re: What if Real Life worked by RAW?
I seem to recall an ACF for a wizard illusionist, that allows them to treat all illusion spells learned as if under the Spell Mastery Feat. So, if your book is lost you can still recant illusions. Better then nothing...
Now for my addition.
"Tattooists start getting increased business by strange people who point at non-nonsensical markings in books. This doesn't really phase them however, as most assume it's just some sort of henna tattoo."
"A group of alleged terrorists today assaulted several hidden government buildings today, leaving said buildings ransacked and defiled with graffiti. Key witnesses say that it was a shadowy group lead by a floating suit."
"Breaking news, we have discovered a vital document to said alleged group, but police are having difficulty deciphering it. Comments about the document were scarce, but some comments have been made. 'We do not yet know what this means, but it is labeled as Shadow Builds. So far, we have discovered that this build, probably some hideout, is lead by self-proclaimed beguilers and shadowdancers, what ever those are.'"Titles, Achievements, and Quotes of HonorSpoilerInfernal Teamworker - City of Shadows Wondering if anyone is still checking this...
Ruler of the City - City of Shadows Hello? Anyone there? PM me if you want the Color Code.
The Fallen Chessmaster - Center WW I don't really see a reason to get rid of this.
The Manipulative/The Opaque - Demons WW Its kind of neat.
