Why would you kill the lich? Just cast Stone to Flesh and leave them petrified forever. If you really want to be thorough, you can trap them in a demiplane just before casting Private Sanctum for the 365th time permanently blocking it from interplanar travel.

And sometimes the official stats suck. The 2014 Tarrasque was just sad. And if Tabaxis get Cat's Claws, Cat's Talent, Feline Agility, and Darkvision, cats should have those too. Along with a jump height of more than -1 feet.

I was thinking of that as a house rule for Mutants and Masterminds (which has a similar system, but is much more generous with the reroll). I think it's better if you don't feel like you wasted the Hero Point because you rolled low.

That said, it works best if it's a success/fail type thing. I understand pathfinder has a lot of things with critical success and critical failure. I guess you get it back if you don't score better?

I see no reason it wouldn't. It's not casting or concentrating on a spell. My question: does it take the damage instead before or after your damage resistance is applied?

That sounds entirely reasonable. Why the meme?

Edit: Does "targets you only" mean it has to have a target of self, or just that in this casting it is only targeting you? I'm thinking cast Dragon's Breath on yourself and share it with your steed, and now both of you get a breath weapon.

Sending doesn't have a range limit, and explicitly works across planes 95% of the time.

The big question here is what mechanically is them. Spells like Revivify target a dead creature, which means if the corpse isn't the creature the spell won't work. But there's also no rule that dead creatures can't talk or take actions or whatever, so you'd still be able to use Sending or just ask them normally. But that's assuming they are a creature. The section on improvised weapons says that a dead goblin is an Object. If dying turns a Creature into an Object, then it could no longer take actions. But there's also nothing saying that Creature and Object are mutually exclusive. maybe a corpse is both?
