I’m a thirtysomething dad and IT professional living in the Austin, TX area. I started gaming way back in the day, 1982, with the TSR space opera game Star Frontiers. Since then I've been an avid roleplayer. I went to 5 Gen Cons, was a regional Triad for the RPGA's Living Greyhawk campaign, helped start a gaming club (the FORGE) in Memphis, TN, et cetera.
I GM and play a variety of RPGs; currently Pathfinder is in heavy rotation as well as various non-D&D-based games.

Medieval problems in a magical world Those claims seem mighty high to me. I would guess they assume running water, flush toilets, and modern sanitation in a modern urban setting. I've been camping and survived indefinitely on a gallon of drinking and maybe a gallon of washing per day. |

Medieval problems in a magical world Yeah, most of the "effects of magic" fail to take into account actual cost and scarcity and assume that certainly every battle will have 1000 fireballs tossed... The water thing just requires a level 1 PC class which is rare but still somewhat of a commodity, level 5+ mages are not so. |

Medieval problems in a magical world Note that Create Water only does 2 gallons/level at a time, and that water doesn't last more than a day. So it's basically one casting per person around minimum for routine drinking and other use, and the local hunters can't fill a canteen and wander off for a couple days - their water disappears. It could work as a short term workaround. My money's on the cleric poisoning the well to drive people to him for water. |

Can a character take free action out of her turn? Comments are not for going back and forth at length in. Please state your positions and move on. |

What is Mastercraft? After reading all that it's still a bit unclear. |

How to use social skills versus player characters If you're doing any in depth roleplay you have to expect some bleed. By insisting on mechanics over player choice you're going to train them to immerse less. Which is fine if that's what you want, but be advised. |

How to use social skills versus player characters I don't see anything in the OP making this a "player" problem - it says Character B has a grudge against Character A. If they say they have a grudge, it's a character grudge, unless there's something you're not sharing. |

Catching falling characters I think you may have found the complete answer. It's OK on SE to post your own answer to your question, so I'd encourage you to go ahead and do that! |
