That's what I was thinking.
I need one more feat for Kev.
He doesn't do a lot of attacks to damage, mostly spells, summons and grapples.
If I had another empty slot, I'd see if I could find a familiar equivalent ooze, but I'd have to take improved familiar and I only have one slot. :/

It comes down to this:
You can choose to take a –1 penalty on all melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks to gain a +2 bonus on all melee damage rolls.
\
Sadly, Swallow Whole isn't a melee attack, it's a combat maneuver.
This does mean, however, that Power Attack works on things like Inflict Wounds and Shocking Grasp. I like to imagine spellcasters punching people with spells.
Deadly Aim specifies that it does not work on Touch Attacks, but Power Attack doesn't. :)

Good to know. >:)
If I was to take that feat that gives a sorcerer bloodline and therefore a familiar, do you think a cr one Amber Ooze would require Improved Familiar?
I kinda want him to have a little orange jelly he feeds leftovers to. ^_^

Execept you had to swallow them whole, with a cmb check,witch almost never succeed.
Funny, there is a feat that will allow you to quicken or maximize or empower a spell without increasing it's spell slot...
One feat adds +5d6 to every fireball spell, or allows you to cast it as a swift action, or makes it deal 60 damage, no roll. Or, put it on flame strike, and it gets even worse.
So, power attack. +12 damage at 16th level. Such a problem.
Interestingly, 5d6 fire damage is 15 damage, on average.

I know.
It's useable every time you cast the spell you use the feat on.
Spell perfection
Though, if you want to break it, use it with dazing spell.

Chill a bit with the hostilities, Ice.
Build for fun, remember?
It's just how the rules work is all.
We don't need another martials can't have nice things narrative. :)

I'm just gonna add the familiar. If Lyn wants it changed, I can worry about it then. Amber ooze is a go. Alchemically treated not to smell like booze. XD

Just because you feel something is broken, doesn't make it so.
Again, stop thinking like D&D/PF is an arena. Its not.
Its a party game, wherein the players/PCs need to cooperate with one another to accomplish their goals or the goals of the adventure.
Also Spell Perfection? Its awesome, yes. But its one spell, only. Which is great, but if the bad guys have some protection against that ONE spell, its not so awesome any more, is it?

Yes, it still is. Because you won't have just /one/ spell, either.

How many, exactly, do you think you'd have? At best, with a human Wizard at 20th level, you get 15 bonus feats. 3 of them have to be other metamagics.
If you sink the other 12 into Spell Perfection, that's great, but your spells won't be nearly as badass as they could be. You haven't taken Focus or Penetration, which makes them easier to resist, and you've only taken three other metas.
Likely, up against high end monsters, your spells, despite how "perfect" they are, will likely not do anything. Because they will either be flat out resisted, or saved against.

3 people marked this as a favorite. |
Setting: Sepernt's Skull ap, just discovered a partial(only three walls) shack. The Magus says that we can easily guard three walls.
My Goblin(Gip): "And I'll break the fourth!"
GM: *pretends to throw his cup at me.
Me: "I'm sorry, I had to." *pause* "Gip said to the GM."
Got some good laughs from that.

Took yesterday off and today it's back to the homework grind, but I'll try to check on the game now and then.
Also sent a few PMs to those who had expressed interest in playing a firebird character and hadn't already gotten back to me with a character pitch. The new characters will be coming in Monday morning in-game so I'd like to get through the bulk of character creation before that. And if anyone else is still interested that didn't say anything before, now is your chance to throw your hat in the ring. :)
