firearms are weapons of mass battle mostly thriving for logistical reasons, the thing that gets put into the hands of Commoner and Warrior conscripts, not something you will find used by a mid- to high-level Swift Hunter or other dedicated archer builds.

And I suspect it'll continue.

The thing that screws firearms at higher levels are weapon enchantments. Where easily reloaded bows and x-bows make it easy to double-dip weapon enchantments + ammo enchantments, the draw, fire & drop routine of firearms necessitated by the long reloading times makes only ammo enchantments feasible.

So you mean they are doing exactly what you want and being over shadowed at higher levels thanks to people not using Wands of Magic Weapon or Weapon Augments and you not wanting to adept Quick Loading to work with firearms?

Ok, to each their own. Shrugs

Well, I'm thoroughly unimpressed by whoever wrote that part of the adventure. "Succeed on a save or stop taking part". 

Isn't that called "death" in most cases? Cus like Teferi is over halfway there thanks to a downhill slope.

It's nice to know 5th is still just as murderously lethal at level 1 as 3rd was.

Chugging bleach to die is such an idiotic thing to do... One of the most painful ways to die, and if you live, you're scarred for life, myriad of problems to deal with.

Right? It seems like every teenage girl wants to OD on Tylenol too, like several months of agony is exactly the solution they need.

Durg-related calls are always a pain in the ass. I had one last month or so where a guy walks into a store for energy drinks to stay awake and hits the ground passed out. Eyes couldn't fit a pin in them. Family claims he hasn't had anything, but an EMR dragged the wife off and got her to confess that maybe he got into some old prescriptions but she just doesn't know if he did or what they were. Narcan'ed him and five minutes later on the road he's telling me about how his wife gave him her pills for his pain and to help him sleep.

More like your post got buried so I missed it.

One way to look at is is what's an angel?

The Outer planes that celestials call home foster an astounding variety of good creatures. Despite their great diversity, all celestials unite to battle fiends from the infernal realms or to assist lost travelers. Guardinals (neutral good) and eladrins (chaotic good) are invariably creatures of great beauty, though their appearances vary. Creatures they've helped on the Material Plane sometimes refer to them simply as “angels.”

As with the evil planes (as discussed in the Book of Vile Darkness), you can create your own cosmology of the good planes. You might prefer not to deal with the in-between planes of Arcadia, Bytopia, the Beastlands, and Ysgard, sticking with the planes that directly correlate to alignments. Conversely, you could have just a single plane of good, called Heaven, where archons, guardinals, eladrins, and angels coexist with little distinction among them (perhaps they are all called angels).

And if you include them, the Celestial breakdown is Archon (LG), Guardinal (NG), & Eladrins (CG). Sort of like Devils (LE), Yugoloth (NE), & Demons (CE).
But if you want actual Angels, as in the subtype, there are a few. The Solar is the highest ranking one while the Planetar operates as a general of forces. And Deva is actually broken down into three types & ranks. Movanic Devas are the weakest and they oversee the the Positive, Negative, and Material Planes. Monadic Devas oversee the Ethereal Plane and the Elemental Planes. And Astral Devas used to oversee the Lower Planes and would attempt to rescue Good-aligned allies stuck in the lower planes. But in the Third Edition update they were moved to overseeing interplanar travelers. There was also a "Agathion" Angel and it appears they were 1st Edition & Planescape limited but otherwise function as Guardinals do in 3rd. PFSRD also seems to think this as their Agathion list is composed of Guardinals.

The Movanic and Monadic Devas can be found under Deva in the 3.0 supplement Fiend Folio.

Let's roll to see if you'd find out this is a lie.

Pffft. I knew you would lie before you posted it.

Dr House's motto "everybody lies" is highly accurate and my default assumption. Hell I've already had two patients that lied about their history this morning

I sense interesting times in my near future.

Write a script about the various events and maybe Netflix will make a show about it.

Out of curiosity what is different now?
Disclosure: I have not done anything for Halloween in over 15 years, not even receive any trick or treaters.

That's the difference

People have been steadily moving away from trick-or-treating their neighborhood on the night of Halloween in favor of organized trunk-and-treats on a more commercially available afternoon. In those celebration dead organizations kids dress up in character advertisements to line up and march down a mall hallway, school gym, or at worst a parking lot like some kind of unsophisticated hick. People and local businesses hand out candy and flyers in an efficient assembly line that'll give you the time needed to make it home before dinner.

Now obviously I'm pointing out the worst case but people participating in the "safe stop" areas are not around or don't feel like they should participate in neighborhood. Stranger danger and the entire hovering parenting thing have gone a long way to turning your kids loose to do much of anything. You'll often find a mix of both in cities as some people push back for various reasons, like feeling that the neighborhood part brings people together and avoids the over commercialization. In your case, you are yet another person avoiding it or simply happen to live somewhere where no one cares and they like the assembling line of handouts.
