Yep. Kill yourself, it's legal in every state.

>>43980062
My character had the macguffin of the campaing and the GM, after coup de gracing my character, remembered that the monsters don't attack the guy with the macguffin (thing that we didn't know though). Coup de gracing is already a That GM move specially when there're other PCs alive and well attacking, double specially when the creature provoked 2 AoO for that action, more so when he tolds us then that monsters shouldn't have attacked me on the first place.

So, in my book, that seems like he fucked up.
>>
>>43980059
Does it have to be with a gun?
>>
>>43980078
the fuck up was that he told you they don't attack the guy with the macguffin after he killed you. Golden rule would allow him to hand wave it behind the scenes and no drama would be had.

If he had told you before the fight, why didn't you bring that up at the start of the fight?

Pretty sure a kid stabbed his bully to death one day when the bully followed him after school.

He told us after he killed my character, neither we nor our PCs could know because never happened before. It's a 1st to 3rd level game (we currently are in 2nd level) and only worked with those specific monsters in that specific encounter because reasons, we still don't know why.

not even too deep then, just man up and ask to roll a new one
>>
>>43980181
ya, so I say again, his fuck up was telling you he goofed instead of just changing the parameters behind the scenes. What do you want to do re-run the entire encounter? revert to save? suck cocks?

Maybe its just that you havn't told us enough about what happened, but it looks like your a whiny bitch and your DM doesn't keep his notes in order. You're both scrub tier.

Maybe not coup de grace my character, which is already a dick move.
>>
>>43980194
If I roll a new one I start at 1st level with 1st level money, which, in the current situation, is better than in what I were reincarnated, though the choice was already made (by my GM when he introduced the Druid) and we can't change the PC till we are out of this maze.

All of this of course if I decide to continue in this game, which I'm not sure yet, mostly hate the GMs attitude like he's making me a favour after he was the one making the mistakes.

I would explain him why his decision is bad for my character.

If he understands and retcons it, he is a normal or maybe even a good GM.

If he leaves everything the way it is, he's bad and you should leave.

See, from your side he sounds like a douche DM. wouldn't continue to play with. A good DM is one who makes the game fun, and there's obviously nothing fun about that scenario.

There you go. The DM made a mistake, a small retcon would have been fair.

Reel it in there, Sally. You don't play the creatures, the DM does. There could be perfectly sound reasoning behind this.

Suicide is legal (due to being impossible to try someone for it, for obvious reasons)

However, attempted suicide isn't.

A zombie with orders to "kill the mcguffinholder" might have done that.

In my own homebrew setting where reviving magic is cheap people can do suicidal stuff if it's for sufficient enough gain.

No, you misunderstand.

These people aren't actually defending their lives.

As it happens, I'm completely confused on the greater issue of gun control. On the one hand, I'm British; on the other, the arming of a population greatly increases their ability to defend themselves.

>A zombie with orders to "kill the mcguffinholder" might have done that.

That's bad DMing if you ask me. "Retrieve the mcguffin at all costs" works just as well without dicking a player over for a lucky crit.

Unless you're playing Tomb of Horrors or some other equally masochistic scenario, as a DM it is not your job to defeat the players. It's your job to facilitate the players' enjoyment of the game. And, unless you're playing Tomb of Horrors or something like Dark Souls: the Tabletop, that usually doesn't include killing their characters off. It's generally something you should try to avoid, especially against random-ass canon fodder.

Of course, if the players are twats then all bets are off.
>>
>>43980408
It's actually very much like a fantasy eclipse phase, right down to the cheapness of life, body switching, personal muses, mind-alteration magics, post-scarcity of many things, and unknowable beings of great power and intent.

Dude, animals don't let their flanks exposed, AoO are strange enough, but mean you purposely do stuff that allow other creatures advantages, animals don't do that if they have other options.
>>
>>43980448
I'm not going to necessarily pull punches as a GM. Foes will act tactically. If they're outnumbered and almost certainly going to die, they may run or beg parley but they may also suicidally charge in to stab someone in a manner just to take someone with them to hell.

Tactical focus is important, as is judging your opponent.

My players have both used this to their advantage (making pirates run in fear at a fearsome summoning) and have been tripped up by it (the same summon made boarding soldiers pull back, but then ALSO bring the obvious siege cannons to bear and start blasting the ship to bits because it was too dangerous to try to capture it.

Foe AI is an important thing. And my players appreciate me making things realistically hard (or easy, when animals flee or diplomacy from a position of power works).
>>
>>43980448

>as a DM it is not your job to defeat the players

True, but misleading. A DM's job is to challenge the players. If they fuck up and die because of their own actions (which is possible, OP didn't give enough information) then it isn't bad DMing or the DM's fault.
>>
>>43980424
>on the other, the arming of a population greatly increases their ability to defend themselves.
It also greatly increases their ability to murder one another, as well.

There was literally another shooting spree that happened in America a couple of days ago using legally purchased weapons.
>>
>>43980479
>>43980463
Right! I run a homebrew pathfinder setting, where a magic apocalypse happened five hundred years ago. Wizards did bad spells that "blew up the gods" and got the land cursed with magic so it's inhospitable.

As a result, 99% of the remaining population live in flying cities and travel by airships. Everyone is at least level 3 and above, magic is commonplace and the currency used is tokens of feather fall, which if combined makes things float if you have lots of money.

Dang. If you ever need another person, that sounds like it'd be up my alley.

What's religion like, now that the gods are all blown up?
>>
>>43980533
Food is made by Create Food and water items mostly, and are used to make gruel, which is then usually flavoured with prestdigitation. Real vegetables and meats grown on the surface is rare and pricey, with one of the main crops in the cities being wheats and other things for alcohols. This of course prompted one of my players to pick a specialisation in chef skills.

Reincarnation is a cheap way of getting people back on their feet - the mook miniboss squad chasing the party has had several deaths and come back with one druid as an owlbear, a fairy and a goblin (all coming after one player's three separate characters ironically).

The main villain for the first half has been a warmongering enchanter wizard who used mind control, politics and propaganda to start two wars and nearly got his hand on ancient weapons of old.

Most "divine" magic is done by one of the eight billion spirits - fragments of the gods blown up and serving as little sprites, pieces of divinity empowering people, or otherwise being personal assistants or AI helper type things.

What would you like tp hear about? The cities? The politics? The technologies and cultures and mindsets of people?

Or would you rather hear of adventuring tales like the party's escape from a city of angry wizards, how they crashed a mountain, or capturing a golem armed with a ship sized cannon?

>>
>>43980575
>religion
The gods got so blown up people don't even remember their names - a total loss in the Wars and the Fall (ironically named apocalypse incident).

So their fragments became like little divine spirits, like the hundreds of thousands of shinto gods, the little house gods of hearth and home in Roman times. Personal gods, ones who will join you at birth or appear as your celestial paladin mount. One oracle picked the haunted archetype - she's constantly surrounded by childlike voices and poltergeist movement.

There are no main religions but the cities tend to have similar mimdsets and spirits. So one paladin knight city has griffon beasts that are magical spirits, another city does ancestor worship, ships often have an attendant spirit bound into them that are very minor deities.

Stuff like that.

Otherwise the setting itself sounds great. I'd really like to hear about the adventures. Especially the crashing a mountain.

As for the thread itself. /tg/ needs to realize that That Guy (I still don't get where That GM comes from, other than retardation) doesn't mean a bad player/GM. It means a person so socially inept / annoying / disgusting that he starts building a reputation. It literally comes from the phrase "Oh! That Guy". All of these stories /tg/ tells nowadays are just mildly bad roleplaying experiences, not real horror stories you get with That Guys. There's no rape threats to someone's sister, no playing a pedophile, no using drugs at someone else's house, no terrible body odor, no encyclopedia-like knowledge of mass murders. Just stories of bad gaming experiences
It's like reading Tumblr tell stories of 4chan. Sheltered people trying to sound hardcore.

I don't think people realize that in places without approximate laws you're legally obligated not to try and defend yourself up until the point where an assailant is literally in the process of inciting bodily harm on you.

Granted people abuse stand your ground laws to justify shooting somebody for no reason, which is incredibly heinous, but the alternative is even more unreasonable.
>>
>>43981230
At least city schools get you ready for that.

I noticed during my time at city schools(ie, when I went to them), kids had a habit of just not defending themselves and let bullies beat the shit out of them, because 90% of the time if they did anything other than lie down and take it, they got worse punishment than the person attacking them.

In a lot of places suicide is illegal, as it gives the police probable cause to break into your home in the case of an emergency.

If the police have reason to believe you're trying to kill yourself, because it's a crime they can legally break in to save you.

It's punishable by death for a similar reason. Whilst euthanasia and assisted suicide is still illegal in a lot of places, sentencing someone to die via painless lethal injection for attempting suicide is not.

The basic idea is that, if someone is trying to kill themselves and is still determined to do so after receiving help and counseling, then at least the government can legally help them in a painless and dignified manner.

Having suicide be illegal and punishable by death is actually an extremely logical and humane way to help people. Providing it's not abused.

You do get that the guns didn't disappear overnight right? It was a massive campaign that lasted years to get rid of them.

I'm not saying it's perfect, or that it would be easy. But less guns = less gun crimes is a pretty solid logical progression.

I mean, shit - how many crimes committed with guns are results of heat of the moment reactions/decisions or psychotic episodes?

I understand. But the amount of bureaucracy involved, technology available, scope of the project, and the political climate in America compared to Australia means that any action taken will be a bitch to enforce and many of those guns will probably stay in circulation. Either side of gun control issue you fall on, I don't think you can hold the Australian process as a model to a schizophrenic union of 50(51) political entities.

And this is assuming none of the Red states start passing laws that hinder national action regarding the 2nd Amendment. Oh, wait.

Fair point.

At what stage do you just call it a wash and realise that the situation is out of control no matter what you try to do?

From the sounds of it, there are simply too many firearms in the American system for any ruling on either side of the fence to have an effect. Like pissing into a flood.

What making firearms ownership illegal doesn't do is significantly affect the actual amount of violent crime that happens. The UK still manages to have some of the highest violent crime rates in europe despite having some of the most restrictive gun laws.

There are small things that can be done. Private sales, for instance, could be more regulated, requiring background checks, thus making it harder for criminals to get things via Armslist and keeping gun owners from turning a blind eye, muh bill of sale towards who they sell to. Problem is any legislation like that probably would have to go through the states because it is mostly intrastate commerce, and even then enforcement would rely on interstate cooperation. And it's not just a gun problem. Take Chicago and Illinois, for instance. Strict gun control, but criminals can transport their guns from states where it's easier to get, and because the city practically ignores some neighborhoods, gangs supply the social and retaliatory structure.

I wasn't goint to get into a fight.
I was exploring, the DM put a trap that not even rolling a nat20 was going to spot it but was "ok" because the tank guy was going to eat it (those traps were explosive magic traps), and was ok because even though it would set the alarm and bring the baddies to his possition the tank would "survive" long enough for the rest of the party to arrive his possition.

It was my fault for explore as a scout, I accept that.

BTW, no, we didn't know there were going to be baddies settled in these woods, we assumed animals, but not intelligent creatures that set magic traps against a 3rd level group.

1. Your players seem to like that, like some people seem to like to stuff rats in their butts, you can't assume everybody likes to stuff rats in their butts.
2. You didn't make a mistake like OP's GM, you didn't "ups, remember I killed you with fire? well I forgot you were immune to fire damage, but don't worry, you're dead now, but I'm going to revive you in a way you'd be better rerolling, but I don't let you rerolllol"

Hey. Trying is better than not doing anything about it.

From '88 to '97 Australia had a population of just over 16 million , and they managed to get rid of over 1 million guns.

So, a 1 to 16 turn over rate.

In America in 1988 they had a population of 244 million people and an estimated 203 million guns. Comparatively, that 1 / 16th is only a drop in the water. Not even a fifteenth of the total number of guns in America.

But you know what?

It would have been fucking something if they had at least tried.

Fuck it.

You want guns for self defense? Here. Have this sword instead.

Are you worried criminals will still have guns?

You fucking should be. But hopefully if criminals can't buy guns in fucking Wallmart it might make it a bit less likely that you'll get shot.

As OP already said, riking two AoO? the monster provoked one when he moved to OPs square, getting hit it seems, then another when he used coup de grace, getting hit a second time, to the point he was nearly dead after that. One thing is being malicious, another is being suicidal.

My self is a healing cleric, and we have a rogue. The GM's "super hard boss fight" was one shotted by the titan who had power attack.

Thankfully, they only play maybe once a month, and despite their shitty roleplay skills (which amount to "I kill it, they cant even touch me anyway") they are still my best friends outside of it so when they want to hang out its a small price to pay to watch them try and come up with "clever" plans.

I donno man, even if you are armed and can get her by surprise. Are you more likely to rape the girl that IS carrying the broadsword, or the girl that has a 50% chance of being armed?

TWF feats ask you high Dex, if for some reason you lose that Dex (being resurrected as a creature with a penalty to Dex counts) you "lose" those feats, you don't lose them per se, you have them, but you can't use them, you literally spent your feats on nothing.

falling below 13 strength in D&D 3.5e or Pathfinder, losing power attack and every feat that has power attack as a prerequisite, or more likely and more commonly, falling below 13 Int as a fighter and losing combat expertise, improved trip, and every feat with either of those as a prerequisite.

While that guy's purse argument wasn't the best, he does have a point. They make so many kinds of holsters for so many different types of carrying (e.g. in waistband, under arm, bra, etc) and even people who don't want to shoot someone, like you know most people, can carry a gun cocked and locked, so to speak, and be ready in seconds.

Notice how Murrica is the only modern country retarded enough to actually believe this? I mean you can say that everyone else is stupid and only you are a helicopter, but that doesn't make it true.

This will never not be the most fucktarded argument for having guns.

There are plenty of very good arguments, and that sure as hell isn't one of them.

Not really healers, more like doctors. Not magic, but heal checks. I don't remember the exact number for their combined heal check, but it was something like 27. It was a completely lopped off limb.

Fun fact: the vast majority of spree killings in the US happen in gun-free zones.

Because, y'know, people who are cool with committing murder don't generally give a fuck about the fact that the law does not allow them to carry the weaponry they're intending to use to do the deed.
>>
>>43986958
I dunno, maybe some sort of organization with clear rules and restrictions on how, where and when one can get, arm and use guns?
>>

Seriously. The only way to fix this fucking bullshit is to have the parents of the kid bullied sue the fucking school for being shit.

>>43987052
Fun fact: the vast majority of spree killings in Europe don't happen, because you can't legally purchase a gun and easily carry it to a "gun-fee zone" by walking two feet.
>>
>>43987105
American here. I agree, but the US has a problem with guns in circulation. You aren't going to stop it by simply "banning guns". It's pretty much the same with all shithole third world countries as well.

But that's what I said.
Or do you really think a militia should just let you carry your own gun, and use it without any kind of training, exams or even looking at your gun? Because that's not how any military force (civilian or otherwise) works.
>>
>>43987130
Anon, every country had guns in circulation before banning them.
>>43987148
Irrelevant. A militia is a civilian armed force. What is should be is meaningless.
>>
>>43987130
Yes, and? You have to start somewhere. The fact that you should have started 100 years ago isn't an excuse not to start now.
>>
>>43987077

The militia's were organized by the local/state government you fucking moron. They are separate from the main army, yet funded by the state. That is literally what a fucking militia is.

>>43987174
>Anon, every country had guns in circulation before banning them.

Europe didn't have fucking assault rifles moron.
>>
>>43987207
>The militia's were organized by the local/state government you fucking moron. They are separate from the main army, yet funded by the state. That is literally what a fucking militia is.
Nope. Dictionary, faggot. Militias could be organised by anyone.
>Europe didn't have fucking assault rifles moron.
Confirmed for knowing fucking nothing about guns. Assault rifles aren't exactly the main killer.
>>
>>43987174
>A militia is a civilian armed force. What is should be is meaningless.
Yes, and? My point still stands. You can't use militia as an excuse to have no gun restrictions, when you
a) don't have a militia
b) even if you had one, it wouldn't let you use your own guns.
>>

>>43987242

Do you know what we call militias not formed by the state?
Crime organizations.

>Assault rifles aren't exactly the main killer.
But they were the point where literally every civilised country except the US of A realised guns have to be controlled.
>>
>>43987308
>Every civilized country
Okay anon, I'll level with you. Why is an assault rifle banned?

I know that's what *you* call them.

I know that you're wrong, too. If you think they're not also militia, anyway.

>But they were the point where literally every civilised country except the US of A realised guns have to be controlled.
Is your argument not that Europe did not have assault rifles?

Whether you are that anon or not, they didn't have those.

Most rifles in Europe were bolt action.
