The Peasant Rail Gun and other Pathfinder rule abuses
by Syron Sat Sep 14, 2013 6:33 am
Crackle brought something glorious into chat...
[11:22:14] Crackle : My friend and I discovered a way to abuse the rules of Pathfinder
[11:22:22] Crackle : It's called the Peasant Rail Gun
[11:26:09] * Crackle has a talent for twisting game mechanics into horrible game-breaking devices...
[11:27:20] Tayari : I don't really know... almost anything about Pathfinder, but I'd like to hear about the Peasant Rail Gun if you're willing to share.
[11:27:42] Crackle : in pathfinder, all turns are 6 seconds long, and everyone involved in the combat gets to go.
[11:27:53] Crackle : Create a line of 1000000 peasants.
[11:28:07] Crackle : give them one task: pass a knife.
[11:28:57] Crackle : Since, according to the Pathfinder rules, all creatures of that size takes up 5 feet...
[11:29:04] Tayari : ... Oh, I think I see where that's going,,,
[11:29:11] Tayari : That... is beautiful.
[11:29:17] Crackle : that knife must travel 5000000 feet in 6 seconds.
[11:29:42] Crackle : Assuming a mass of 12.8 ounces, which is the mass of an average modern hunting knife....
[11:29:48] @ Shadowstrike : xD
[11:29:53] Crackle : whatever is on the other end of that knife when the final peasant lets go is FUCKED
[11:29:57] Tayari :
[11:30:07] Crackle : that's roughly 46,838,616,000 joules of kinetic energy.
[11:30:27] Crackle : going at about 508000 m/s
Edit: The Troll Hallway
[11:33:59] Crackle : In Pathfinder, Trolls can only be killed by either 1) fire or 2) getting it's health to negative CON x 10
[11:35:25] Crackle : Theoretically, according to the game mechanics, you /could/ manage to do a lot of damage to one without actually killing it, provided you keep it's HP below 0 and don't let it regenerate, as it will remain unconscious.
[11:36:01] Crackle : In this case, the damage would be in the form of distorting it's physical shape.
[11:36:08] Crackle : More specifically, stretching.
[11:36:18] Crackle : ...over a great period of time...
[11:36:30] Crackle : ...into the form of a hallway...
[11:36:32] @ Shadowstrike : You want a Spaghetti-Troll?
[11:36:47] Crackle : ...held open by a series of thin supports...
[11:37:10] Tayari : The hallway... I suppose you'd then lure an enemy inside... and stop hitting the troll?
[11:37:13] Crackle : ...which are rigged to collapse when someone triggers a trap on the chest at the end of the troll-hallway
[11:37:30] Crackle : ...allowing it's regeneration to kick in...
[11:37:44] Crackle : ...and thus trapping them inside the troll.
[11:38:27] Crackle : The very angry troll.
[11:38:41] Crackle : Who would likely turn to the rest of the party to work off said anger.
Edit 2: Swampy Dragons
[11:42:47] Crackle : So... Suppose you're wandering around in a swamp...
[11:43:57] Crackle : You spot a dragon, black in colour. IC, you know that black dragons have acid-base elemental attacks, and pass this knowledge onto the rest of the party.
[11:44:53] Crackle : Naturally, all the magic-users prepare defenses against acid, right?
[11:45:15] Tayari : Bases would be just as dangerous, though.
[11:45:45] Crackle : *Acid-based
[11:45:50] Tayari : Oh.
[11:46:06] Tayari : Well... getting flattened by a dragon is also pretty dangerous.
[11:46:20] Tayari : I'll let you speak now. Sorry,
[11:48:47] Crackle : Well, anyway, the fighter-types have armour to deal with physical damage, so the magic users would logically ready defenses against acid.
[11:48:59] Crackle : Suddenly, dragon breathes fire.
[11:49:04] Crackle : errybody burns.
[11:49:19] Crackle : Was really a red drake coated in black swamp mud.
[11:49:30] @ Shadowstrike : xD
[11:50:03] Tayari : Lesson learned. Always make sure you cast a cleaning spell before you fight a dragon in a swamp.

I've come to realize that I actually messed up horribly on some of my calculations.
5000000 ft/6 sec = 254 000 m/s
Factor in mass gained from the sheer speed of 0.00000459 oz
eK=1/2mv^2
= 1/2(362.874g)(254000m/s)^2
=11,705,589,492,000 Joules of kinetic energy.
Yes. That's right. 11.7 trillion Joules. That knife is fucking GONE, baby.
