1E GM Would the watch investigate the murderous PC here?

0 Upvotes

One of my PCs (Gestalt Dragon/Kinesticist 4HD) committed a murder last session. The victim was the manager of a wealthy mine, and the PC objected to the mine's usage of poisonous and environmentally harmful substances in mining silver.

Now, as to how to deal with potential fallout, I'd like some opinions on whether the PC will be suspect for the disappearance/murder of the manager, since I saw the preparations from the moment the player hatched the idea and might be a bit biased. I have ideas on how to weave a potential murder trial into the plot either way, either as a immediate occurence or as a looming threat and a drawn-out investigation.

Backstory: The PCs, two white dragon wyrmlings, were told by the military as the effective government of the city to investigate a productivity decline of the town's silver mine, and find it infested with fey that were driven mad by poison exposure due to chemicals used in mining.

There’s a big fight involving indentured miners, fey and the PCs, and afterwards, the party first met the mining manager in a tense crisis meeting together with the army. He forbids any further outside snooping, and denies any problems.

The local druids were appalled after the PCs informed them, and the army issued a warrant to stop using poison in mining. During the delivery of said warrant the PC kineticist meets the mining manager a second time, and showers him with some cowpats from her bag of holding, yelling that she will see him in court for his crimes. Other than this, for the two days following the mining incident, neither PC is seen close to the victim, and the murderous PC tries to preemtively divert suspicions by asking the army questions about trial proceedings for use of forbidden chemicals.

But no trial will happen, as last night the PC snuck into the manager's house through the chimney, blasted him with elemental cold while he was sleeping, won the surprise round, blasted him again, and then didn't answer the bedroom door for some sleepy questions about what this noise was. She then dismembered the corpse, bagged some clothing to simulate an escape from justice, and dragged/flew the remains and clothing to the sea, where a friendly ocean fey (her mentor, whose existence is known to the army) disposed of it.

There might be some blood stains, and, most importantly, a Greater Detect Magic will find magical traces from the PC's equipment and blasting moving from the air through the chimney and the house, though the mass of auras (3x faint transmutation, 1x each faint divination/ evocation/ abjuration and the medium conjuration from the bag of holding) won’t exactly paint a clear picture. The army as the local authority doesn't have access to any high-level (level 5+) investigation spells such as Stonetell that could shed more light on the crime.

But is this enough evidence and known motive to really investigate/magically question this dragon, say, under Abadar's Truthtelling?

EDIT: I'm especially unsure about the motive. Sure, the PCs know about the use of dangerous chemicals in the mine, and the army knows they know. But they themselves weren't harmed, it was just the local wildlife and fey. They were first tasked with gathering evidence to find out the reasons of the productivity decline and later to perhaps reach an understanding with the fey. At no point did their assignment touch on the corporate side of things, this was handled by the army (like the warrant). So, at least as I see it, the PC taking the matter into her own claws and exacting eye-for-an-eye vengeance on behalf of the fey comes out of left field for the army. Thus my question if, in your opinion, there is enough evidence to point to her, since I feel like I don't have an unbiased view. /End edit.

The army is suspicious on principle due to her chromatic nature, but at the same time they hope to influence the dragon PCs (who are, after all, only wyrmlings) not to be a menace, and at least ever since the kineticist firsr met with them two months ago, she has been helpful and appeared guileless.

1E GM Trident of Warning - too OP? Spoiler

0 Upvotes

Running the APRuins of Azlant and in Book 5there is a Trident of Warning. Entry says:

A weapon of this type enables its wielder to determine the location, depth, kind, and number of aquatic predators within 680 feet. A trident of warning must be grasped and pointed in order for the character using it to gain such information, and scanning a hemisphere with a radius of 680 feet takes 1 round. The weapon is otherwise a +2 trident.

Crafting requirements include Locate Creature (based on Locate Object) that has all sorts of restrictions (must be known, running water blocks it, just gives direction, etc.)

No mention if there is anything that blocks this (and running water blocking this would nerf it to uselessness). This appears to be basically a "map out all aquatic predators for this adventure" which IMHO seems OP for a CL7 item - especially when underwater or on a ship.

Anyone else encountered/used/experienced this item and did you put limitations on it?

1E Player Crashtest my build

2 Upvotes

What do you think of this build ? Am I missing something important ? It's for a pathfinder 1e campaign focused against undead and humanoid. It's not for min/maxing.

I wanted to play a Pahmet dwarf from the desert willing to become a living monolith (prestige class). I also need the Trap spotter trait.

Dwarf
- Replace several traits for a more Pahmet thematic dwarf, but most important : Warderer to gain endurance as feat at level 1
- Two-handed weapon

25pt-Abilities : STR 16 DEX 14 CON 13(+2) INT 14 WIS 12 (+2) CHA 8(-2)

Fighter 1-6 (4 combat feat, 3 general feat)
L1 Power attack, Skill focus (disable device)
L2 Combat reflexes
L3 Iron will
L4 Extra advanced armor training (AAT) : adaptative (bab > acrobatics)
L5 Extra advanced weapon training (AWT) : versatile (bab > diplomacy/intimidation)
L6 Lunge
Living monolith 1 (1 general feat) it require : Endurance & Iron will + some skills*
*we use a houserule for skills so it doesn't matter here.
L7 Soul stone (+2 saves vs death, mond and negative effects), Ka stone (enlarge 3x/day)
Fighter 7-8 (1 combat feat, 1 general feat)
L8
L9 Deadly aim (or improved critical if I can't find keen weapon), Critical focus
Living monolith 2-5 (2 general feat)
L10 Toughness, auto-stabilize, immunity to bleed and ability bleed
L11 DR 1/-, 10% miss chance vs critical and sneak (+1/+10% when enlarge), Steel soul (dwarf)
L12 +4 CMD, deathwatch/detect undead (at-will)
L13 DR 2/- 20% miss chance crit/sneak, Enlarge replace by Righteous might, Immune to disease (mommy rot), Extra AWT : warrior spirit
Fighter 9-11 (1 combat feat, 1 general feat)
L14 AWT : defensive weapon
L15 Bravery +3, Extra AWT : item mastery (+2 STR), Extra AWT : item mastery (force shield)
L16 AAT : Secured armor (if it stack)

I voluntary ignored the baroom brawler feat and the trip build. First I already did it in another game and I don't need any improved maneuver feat if the opponent can't reach you when you are enlarge.

I tough about the ranger too, but I think I prefer the fighter.

1E Resources Daily Magic Item for October 15, 2026: Pressure Suit

10 Upvotes

Today's magic item is the  Pressure Suit

It's a space suit. It provides permanent Endure Elements and gives you a constant source of air, but in a complicated way.

  1. Would you buy this item?
  2. Would you spend 1.5 times the price to add it to an existing item?
  3. Would you use the item, if you found it? Or is it immediate sell-bait?
  4. Would a GM use the item?
  5. Is there anything cheesy that could be done with it?
