I've a character coming up on Trapper Ranger 2/Inquisitor 13 and I don't know what to do with the character after that, the only class feature that actually interests me is the spells, and I'm not sure that's enough to keep me in-class.

Should I stay as an inquisitor or move to something else?

I haven't noticed any rules for waking people up, for example: the person on watch spots a bad guy and he yells for the group to wake up. Most of the GMs I've played with have had a rule: DC 15 fort save to wake up when you aren't ready for it. I haven't seen any such rule, so I think it's a hold-over from an earlier edition.

What is the official ruling on waking up when you aren't ready?

Does the Shozoku of the Night Wind add to AC, even if you are already wearing armor? I initially didn't think it did, but when I was tooling around in Hero Lab it said that the Ninja Pajamas of after dark gas added to AC, even while wearing a suit of armor.

I'm in a, just now, level 12 group, a few levels ago, an Angel gave us a few items, and a quest (complete with a custom greater geass spell, so if we abandon the quest we die in a few days). The angel also gave us a portable hole, +3 resistance cloak, a Sun Blade, A headband of mental stats +2, a staff of fire (I think), and a Rod of Splendor

The group consists of me (the neutral good ninja), an Oracle that follows the Sun God, a Summoner, and a cycling group of other characters (who tend to die or leave for one reason or another).

We've been fighting undead for awhile, we started at level 3, fighting skeletons, I've built to be a tank, the summoner has largely sat on his butt, the eidolon has been my only consistent partner in melee, and the oracle has built to be a healer.

Now, I will be honest about this, I have been collecting a distressing amount of weapons (mostly) from the people who play melee classes, and die or leave. I've got a +1 adamantine ax (which I don't use anymore), a +3 adamantine katana (which is why I don't use the ax), the Sun Blade, Gauntlets of Rust, the aforementioned headband, an amulet of nat armor +3, and some boots of speed. I have no idea what she has, I know she has the cloak, some item from the Pharaoh who gave me the amulet, and other stuff we've probably picked up along the way.

However, for some reason, which I consider largely irrational, several of my friends agree with me, the Oracle wants the Sun Blade. Despite the fact that she will almost always use channel energy instead of swinging a weapon when undead are involved.

She argued with us when the paladin (the original wielder, who both died AND left, he left first though), she argued with me when the paladin left/died, and now she's arguing with me again when I got the katana.

I'm really sick of arguing with her. What should I do? Logically speaking I should hang on to the Sun Blade, it's a really really good weapon for me, but I'm sick of hearing her argue with me.

Is it possible to use Improved two-weapon fighting and improved two-weapon feint to make an attack with a shield, forgo the attack, and Keep the AC of the shield? Without Improved shield bash.

Also, can I make my off-hand weapon become my main hand weapon for the second strike?

What I have is a ninja 10/ranger 1, who is pretty much pulling most of the party's weight between it and the summoner's Eidolon. So I'm playing meat shield (a shield with a nasty weapon, sun blade + sneak attack= mean), damage dealer, trapfinder, and overall voice of reason.

Playing a game based on the Hexen II video game, there have already been a bunch of traps, and I'm wondering if I should take a level of Trapper archetype Ranger.

My group is level 7 and it consists of:
A ninja: me, I rolled amazing so I have lots of skills, okay saves (5 for 9 ref 5 will), combat expertise, dodge, imp unarmed strike, two-weapon fighting, and gang-up. I took forgotten trick, shadow clones, and vanishing trick.
A paladin: I actually know what he has, because he gives me his character sheet, he can't play all the time because of work. He has combat reflexes, power attack, shield focus, word of healing, and cleave.
A Summoner: He went the snake/reach route with his pet, it's fairly effective all things told.
An Oracle:... Outside of her ridiculous number of spells/day, I find it very hard to say nice things about her, mostly because of her player... she has issues.
A Sorcerer: The FNG, he probably should have given his potential spells a better look, but it's his second game. I did warn him that he shouldn't be playing a caster.

We've had lots of combat, lots of traps, very little roleplaying. I was also kind of wanting basically everything the ranger could give me for just one level, but I'm not sure if it's worth waiting an additional level for Master tricks. I have no idea what level we will end up, though I suspect it to be very high, as we are considering fighting a dragon, his high-order lich master, and a demi-god. Even if we use a macguffin to even the odds, it's still going to be a rough fight.

My paladin is currently working with a lawful evil fighter, to make things worse he has a ring of mind blank, or something like it, making him utterly undetectable at any level, in addition to this he hasn't done anything evil in my paladin's presence and has actually done some good things (like freeing slaves) that my character has witnessed.

Should there be any repercussions for this?

I earlier had a similar problem with an evil character who didn't actually do any evil, at all. This guy does evil stuff from time to time, like the time he cooked and ate a quickling, yeah the quickling was an evil bastard, but the fighter was going to boil it alive, and then eat it.

This guy is definitely evil, but he is also smart enough to not do anything that will cause me to suspect him of being evil, let alone do anything smite-worthy in my presence.

...however none of them really touched on templates. Now, my current character, is a Half-celestial Aasimar Rogue1/paladin4 what would my CR (therefore, my SR) be?

Also how should level adjustment be calculated. Staring at it immediately would dictate that I pay a +2 adjustment, but I've been playing this character since I was level 1, so would I have to pay again at 12 or what?

I ran into a slight issue with the overcoming damage reduction rules. There isn't anything saying a magical weapon can overcome DR X/slashing, bludgeoning, or piercing, yet the rules support going through other materials one would think having a powerful enough weapon would overcome.

Long story short I was running an archer paladin against a dracolich, and I was out of smites that day, we had fought a marilith, a homebrew demon twice, a homebrew cthulu-type thing, a lich who was on top of the dracolich, a succubus, her two vrock minions, and the lich's bodyguards. Mind you I'm only level 12. Yes we are well over our heads, but we kept winning.

Side note: does a dracolich's attacks count as magical and/or evil? I haven't seen anything suggesting this.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?... Bueller?... Bueller?

I recently watched a cartoon series about a bodyguard who used a spear as a double weapon, I saw rules in 3.5 which could support this use but I haven't seen any in Pathfinder. The bodyguard's spear was also completely metal and had a rope attached to it so she could throw it and climb the rope. Is there anything like this in Pathfinder?

I was wondering because I was wanting to use charm person on the player characters in my group to get them to stop arguing and work together as a team.

I wouldn't normally do this, but I have better teamwork with the NPC than I do with the players, due to them instantly trying to argue everything.

Do monster players add the stat modifications for having class levels? For example: I have a half-celestial Aasimar with 6 levels in paladin, does she gain +4,+4,+2,+2,+0,and -2to her stats?

The book says "a weapon" does this have to be the same weapon every time?

I looked around to see if this was previously answered and I didn't see a post asking this question.
