My opinion is that that particular line you cite is a holdover from the 3.5 version of the game that should be rewritten or just cut from the game—it's slipped by the errata so far because it's flavor text, not actual rules text, so the rules mongering seems to have missed it.

MIC guidelines, remember that the formulas in the book are a guideline only (Core Rulebook, page 549, last paragraph) and that a GM should always compare an item against other similar items.

Characters are automatically proficient with any natural weapons they possess (pg 141). While the rules call this out with the caveat "possessed by their race", I think it is a fine and fair assumption to add to any gained due to a spell or class feature (the polymorph subschool calls this out in fact, pg 212).

There is no explicit rule in the Core Rulebook that says a Medium creature can't ride a Medium mount, but it is implied in secondary rules, such as the description of the riding dog and horse and the description of the paladin's divine bond. And it's explicitly called out in the beast rider archetype: "The animal chosen as a mount must be large enough to carry the beast rider (Medium or Large for a Small character; Large or Huge for a Medium character)."

Pinpoint in the game means "determine a creature's square." It's one of those times where the game rule's definition of the word isn't the same as the common definition.

Both of those situations are now possible, if I am understanding your question.

The problem here comes down to training. I intend to clarify this so that mithral armor does not change the armor's type when it comes to proficiency... which has always been a bit silly.

Also, note that while comprehensive rules for designing magic items exist, people are still making broken, underpriced magic items--it's because there's always going to be an aspect that requires you to think about it in terms that aren't just formulas.

The player wants to lower a monster's DR. Don't make the player weasel around the wording in-game to accomplish that, you know what they want, don't screw them out of what they're obviously asking for just because their characters don't know what DR is. If you're the GM, you're there to provide fun challenges for the players, you're not their opponent. They have brains, you have brains, everyone use your brains and don't make the combat screech to a halt because you want a player to trip over the wording of an obvious, easy wish.

INA boring feat for monster.

Perhaps I don't think there are enough potion-making paladins in the world to significantly affect the cost of lesser restoration potions. I'm pretty sure the number of 3rd-level clerics with Brew Potion outnumbers the number of 5th-level paladins with Brew Potion by a large number. ;)

The existence of the "harmless" modifier for saves indicates that the target of such an effect can somehow recognize that the incoming effect is not harmful, and choose to automatically fail the save against it.

Thus, Fleet doesn't work for the dwarf in heavy armor.

spellstrike, spellcombat changes from beta.

sneak attack damage type changes to be whatever the base was.

What in the rules suggests that the SA damage is conditional on the base damage getting through the DR?

why

attack action -> standard action

Allowing an emanation to extend from the edge of a creature's space makes such spells more powerful the bigger you get, and since magic doesn't really care how big its spellcaster is, that's kinda weird.

The rules as intended and as they should be interpreted are that you only get to cast 0 level spells at will. Once they're prepared with higher level spell slots, they follow all the rules for how higher level spell slots work.

Back to the topic at hand, since the rules are silent here, I think it is well within the GMs purview to impose a penalty to the Spellcraft check to identify a spell without components (V, S, M). Since there is no real increase for spells with just one, I would guess that this penalty is not very large, perhaps only as much as -4.

Odd-bonus ability score items are deliberately not in the game.

It has three attacks: one bite, one claw, and another claw. "2 claws" means "two separate claw attacks, each of which getting a separate attack roll."

It would seem to be better if things that grant natural attacks just said 'This is a natural attack that does <dmg> and follows all natural attack rules' rather than trying to put all the primary/secondary rules in to the power and assuming they'll only be used as secondary attacks.

I agree that would be better. Unfortunately, we didn't do that in the Core Rulebook (partly because the Bestiary wasn't done yet, and partly because we didn't want to refer players to the Bestiary), and when people model a new ability, they usually base it on the existing presentation of a similar ability, which means you're going to get this language weirdness.

Like VP, you use DB by making a different skill check... you're not actually using an instrument.

Does it have a Con score? Then it's a living creature.

I'm pretty sure the intent of that combat style is that you have to use Weapon Focus on one of your natural weapons.

If you mean "does my racial favored class bonus for fighter work if I'm playing a fighter with an archetype?," then the answer is "yes." Assuming, of course, that the favored class bonus applies to something that hasn't been eliminated or swapped by the archetype.

In fact... if "Every Dex build" is indeed taking the feat, that argues to me that it's too good of a feat in the first place and should probably have tougher prerequisites.

only one animal companion, all levels stack for it.

why ability score mods should be even

Strange, most people believe that feats are more valuable than items because you have tons and tons of gp worth of magic items (and you can always go quest for money in easy areas that won't net you any xp) yet you have a very limited number of feats. :) "Most people" meaning "the designers of 3e, who went out of their way to greatly limit the ability to put feats into magic items because at high level it would be trivial to buy up all the feats you wanted in the form of magic items."

even if the material component seems like it'd be very rare, it's in the spell component pouch.

Potions and Wands of Resist Energy and Protection from Energy

So, pincers are secondary (according to the table), but if that's all you have, you attack as if they're primary.

The default should probably be "no," at least for the official rules. The pclass' ability gives you X, it doesn't give "X or its equivalent."

Martial Artist, pain points: humanoid does not refer to the type.

The above is an evil spell. Casting it is an evil act. If you are a good cleric or a neutral cleric of a good deity, you can't cast this spell, because it's evil.

"If a creature doesn't have a land speed... it technically doesn't have a speed to modify and therefore boosts tot hat speed are lost (kind of like modifiers to Constitution are lost on undead or constructs)."

I think that anyone playing a summoner should have a good, long discussion with their GM about what the eidolon's represent in the game work and what kind of general theme they take. I am all for flexibility, but a character's eidolon should not ruin the world's verisimilitude.

I wouldn't double it. Think of it as "this item requires me to hold it in my hand to activate it," and "hand" is a quasi-slot. "Slotless" items are really those that you don't have to manipulate in any way to gain the bonus (luckstone, ioun stone, etc.).

Dervish Dance isn't supposed to reward tricky-thinking two-weapon fighters, after all. It's supposed to make fighting with a single weapon more attractive, so as soon as you start trying to game the system to get an off-hand attack, you're breaking the spirit of Dervish Dance and the feat should stop working.

3pp material is great. As with all material, you should decide on your own, as GM, what does and what does not belong in your game based on its quality and the needs of your campaign, regardless of who printed it.

The monk of the empty hand can only benefit from Dervish Dance if he is proficient with the scimitar, and uses the scimitar as a scimitar, NOT as an improvised weapon.

None of those three weapons allow a monk to use his level-based unarmed damage; they just do the damage listed on the weapon table. This isn't errata (they were never intended to allow monks to do that, as they can already deal lethal or nonlethal at their discretion), it's a clarification of the use of terms like "with unarmed attacks" in the descriptive text of those three weapons (they aren't unarmed attacks, and mentioning unarmed attacks at all confuses the issue).

Treating brass knuckles, gauntlets, spiked gauntlets, cesti, and rope gauntlets as "unarmed attacks" doesn't make a lot of sense (because you're not unarmed, you have metal/leather/rope/etc. there).

The Blackened oracle curse is meant to only impose a penalty on attack rolls with manufactured weapons. Thus, rays, weapon-like spells, and natural weapons are not affected by this curse.

As for whether a new ability has a plus or a gp value: the purpose of armor and shields is to protect the wearer against melee and ranged damage. If the new property makes the armor better at doing that, it should be a plus-based property; otherwise, it should be a gp-based property. It gets a little blurry for some of them (energy resistance is gp-based but spell resistance is plus-based), but if the summary of the ability is "this really needs to be an armor property" vs. "this could just as easily be a ring, robe, or necklace, it should be plus-based.

Unofficial rule that non-artifacts shouldn't exceed 200,000 gp market price

Magical Lineage was never intended as a way for you to actually lower a spell's level. It was put in to allow you to reduce the increase from a metamagic feat. So, no unlimited magic missiles. I will see to it that the language of this ability is clarified soon and I will get this added to the FAQ.

Not a ruling, but the reason why Bulmahn hasn't modified abilities due to arcane mark.

You add to the critical multiplier. So if you crit with a weapon that is already dealing x3 damage, you deal x4 damage (not x6).

Once the hex has been put on you, it lasts for a number of rounds depending on the witch's level. During that time, you get the benefit (each round). After that time ends, you must wait 24 hours before you can have this hex put on you again.

It's a shield bonus, so it doesn't count for touch AC, because the touch AC calculation excludes shield bonuses, not just shields.

It's deliberate. The celestial and fiendish templates were redesigned to make them simpler to apply, since applying them to summoned monsters during game play is the primary use for them. It also helps to limit the abuse one can heap on the lower level ones—if you want to do some REALLY tactical stuff with summoned monsters, that's an advantage of summoning things like devils and demons and azatas and archons.

That doesn't mean that the PC should have NO control over his summoned monsters, of course. He should be able to direct who the summoned monster attacks, and what attack options the summoned monster uses, and where it attacks from. The GM, of course, has final say in how tactical he wants to let a summon monster spell get, of course.

In this context, "priest" means any spellcaster who worships a deity and casts a summoning spell.

Note that qualifying for a feat or learning a spell is not an effect. The elf blood racial trait applies to things like the bane special weapon property or a ranger's favored enemy class feature.

Bracers of armor do not count as light armor I am afraid.

Turns out playing the game is metagaming. That is, unless you have a setup where you actually transport yourself physically into the game and wipe all memories of the real world out of your mind while you're in the game, I guess.

Giving the players a good idea of what types of characters would be good and fun and usable choices in an Adventure Path is the primary purpose of a Player's Guide, and part of that is listing good choices for favored enemies. I don't see this as any more bad than watching a movie trailer.

"Pinpoint" is the term is used in the Pathfinder RPG.

In real life, you can pinpoint a person's location to a particular street, building, or room, so I don't have a problem with the game saying you "pinpoint" someone's location to a particular 5-foot-square, considering that most creatures on a 5-square-foot gridded map take up 1 square and you never need to be more precise than that.

archetype tips

If you apply the inherent bonus to the summoner's physical ability score, that ability score is replaced by the eidolon's ability score. So if you want to apply an inherent bonus to your eidolon-suit's physical ability score, use the item/spell/etc. while fused so it applies the bonus to the eidolon's ability score.

Exactly. And that was driven home by the fact that once I introduced the feat, everyone took it and a few players were all "I wanna rebuild my character for that feat." Too good.

Dervish Dance does not work if you wield a weapon in your off hand (see the last sentence of the feat description). It's very much meant to be a feat to bolster the one-weapon build, which is, in my opinion, pretty neglected. It's ALSO meant to benefit clerics, bards, and other spellcasters of Sarenrae in particular, who'll want their off hand free for spellcasting anyway.

If you pinpoint an invisible target, you know what square it's in, and can attack that square, with the invis creature getting total concealment.

If you don't pinpoint the target's square, you don't know what square it's in, but you can still pick a square where you think it may be, and attack there. If the invis target IS there, it gets total concealment (just like you had pinpointed its square). If the invis target ISN'T there, the attack misses (there's nothing to hit). If the GM is smart, he'll roll d% whether or not the invis creature is there, so that the player doesn't know if he missed because (1) of the miss chance, or (2) because there's nothing actually there.

Cause a Diversion, 5-foot w/ stealth, and get your "full attack" WITH sneak attack all in one turn, and you can wash, rinse, repeat.

Nope, only with your first attack. And only if you have hide in plain sight or a similar effect.

That is basically covered in the Perception rules. The guy points it out, and folks can try to spot it again on their turn as a move action.

AC tapers off compared to attack value because you WANT everyone to be able to hit more, especially as they start getting iterative attacks. If AC didn't taper off, the iterative attacks (and attacks from classes without a 1-for-1 BAB) would fail most of the time.

After all, if you scale monster AC vs. fighter attack roll, the best fighter attack should hit 50% of the time, the first fighter iterative would only hit 25% of the time, and the 2nd fighter iterative would only hit on a 20. And at level 10 the cleric and rogue would be 15% worse than the fighter, with an increasing class disparity the higher levels go.

These penalties are the only ones you suffer. They are not in addition to those from TWF.

That doesn't prevent you from making unarmed strikes or claw attacks, as your hand is still empty.

This was to prevent the suli from being a one-trick pony. While the imagery of the suli as a flame-wreathed menace is awesome (love that illustration), I didn't want it to become a situation where players were switching elemental types every other round to suit which enemy they were attacking, or using it for every fight every day.

Personally, just as I'd let you cast a spell with a bonded ring or a bonded wand in that hand, and given the role of the athame in magical tradition, I'd let you use the hand holding your bonded weapon to cast somatic spells.

Charge to a flanking position = get sneak attack.

if the creature gets a second attack of a natural attack (a fake iterative), when the natural at tack was originally the only one and thus got the 1.5x str bonus, it'd still get the 1.5x str bonus on both attacks.

Where in any of these weapon special ability descriptions does it limit what other properties can go on a weapon with one of those abilities?

It's interesting you mention the summoner, though—in that case I would NOT allow it. The summoner's spell list is FAR too permissive in a lot of cases there regarding what spells it gets at lower levels, such as haste or teleport. In my games, of course, this problem is solved by the fact that I don't allow summoners in my game.

We are not going to introduce an item that gives monks flat bonuses to hit and damage with the exact same pricing as magic weapons.

---

There are some other issues in the monk that I hope we can address after Gencon, but I want to warn folks.. we will not be rewriting the class. We endeavor with most of our changes to make small moves to get things where we want instead of drastic shifts that might go too far or force us to change again. We've been burned by that in the past.

Purpose of the monk: Monks are support and mobility combatants, generally speaking, useful in moving around the battlefield to assist with problems. In this regard, they gain a number of abilities that allow them to work without the aid of others, which many of the other, straight fighter classes, lack to one degree or another.

Many extraplanar outsiders do not have an alignment subtype, either (efreet, for example, are evil extraplanar outsiders who don't have the evil subtype). :)

winter witch doesn't get normal witch hexes as she levels

I for one certainly regretted letting it in to my Savage Tide campaign back in the day. I daresay this magic item MAY have even, in a roundabout way, led to the overnerfing of solid fog! :P

Original (but changed) intent for Winter Witch

As to the question a couple of posts up, no the Scarred Witchdoctor archetype is not available and a human can not qualify for any Orc related items, whether they be archetypes, feats, etc.... For this to ever be trumped, they would need to appear on a Chronicle.

We know how to build monsters and magic items. We don't need to playtest them. Especially since adding a playtest stage vastly complicates a product. In order for a playtest to be viable and not a waste of time, it needs to focus on NEW things that we're not yet sure exactly how they'll interact with the game rules. Things like new rules (Core Rulebook), new base classes, new subsystems (like Words of Power or the race creation rules), and so on.

In any case... I'm not really the one you need to convince that there should be more ways for Dex to add to melee damage. Note that Dervish Dance is in the Inner Sea World Guide and not a world-generic rulebook...

Unless it's explicitly stated that you can't take a 5-foot step during the action, you can do it basically anytime.

This is True

Crusader: Used to be bonus every 4 levels, not 5. "to a maximum of..." wasn't updated though in revision.

Just to be sure we're clear: accelerated crafting doesn't let you exceed the "8 hours of work per day" limit. Accelerated crafting lets you work for 4 hours and treat it as 8 hours, and then work for another 4 hours and treat it as 8 hours, for a total of 16-effective-hours (2,000 gp) of work per day.

Also, note that to do that, you don't actually need any ranks in ANY perform skills. There are actually only a VERY FEW bardic performances that require Perform checks, but even those don't require ranks in a performance—they merely require checks.

When a bard activates a bardic performance, he must decide if it's an audio or visual performance—one or the other. It's certainly cool to include what KIND of performance you're doing, be it song or dance or flute or comedy, but that element falls under the aegis of roleplay, not rules.

My intent was definitely for the Skyseeker's Stalwart ability to work in Heavy Armor. In fact, if I recall correctly, my original idea was for Stalwart to function only when the Skyseeker is wearing Medium or Heavy Armor.

The interpretation you describe as being intended really makes the whole thing that much more lack luster.

I agree. I wanted to talk about it because it's new for Pathfinder and there hasn't been much discussion about its repercussions. It makes sense that it should be "you can get double the amount of work done, reducing your overall time needed to craft," because the alternate interpretation ("congrats, you have 4 more hours you can spend in town today") is pretty lame and pointless for most campaigns where you're not counting how much you can do in individual hours.

Generally, when an item calls out "it works like {spell}," it gets all the baggage of that spell unless the item says otherwise.

Oracles are not directly empowered by the gods themselves at all.

You do not need to be proficient with a weapon to take it as your bonded weapon.

I'm not quite sure what needs explaining. The Core Rulebook says that if you're making multiple attacks, you have to use the Full Attack action. If you're just making one attack, you pick any one of the attacks available to the character. Monsters work the same way as characters in this regard. So Valeros can make a full attack with two swords, or a single attack with either sword; a lion can make a full attack with claw/claw/bite, or a single attack with any one of those attacks.

Alchemist cannot craft magic items.

If an archetype gets a class ability at a different level than normal, the ability stipulates the level that they DO get it. It does not then go on to state "oh, and they also don't get this same ability at the regular level" because that would be a redundant waste of word count.

And as for the absence of a potion bandolier that lets you draw potions as a swift or free action... we're not going to invent a mundane item that breaks the basic action economy of the core game. Sorry.

Suggested fix to free hand fighter

This was an intentional feature of the Aldori swordlord prestige class. If you choose to take 12 levels in the fighter class to qualify for the Greater Weapon Specialization feat, you gain a bonus from the PrC's display weapon prowess class feature not available to those who go through the full progression of the prestige class.

This option is particularly suitable for those who choose to take the Aldori swordlord archetype and take 11 or 12 levels in fighter in order to gain the archetype's 11th-level counterattack ability.

Uses the attack bonus.

By way of SKR, why the +5 DC thing exists

A wizard and a cleric cooperating to craft a scroll of cure light wounds are, between the two of them, meeting all of the prerequisites for the item's creation. Thus, the "you cannot create this if you don't meet all the prerequisites" rule on page 549 does not apply, because "you" in the case of cooperative crafting is "the people involved in crafting the item."

Totem Warrior, RTA provoking twice when cast as spells, greater trip / vicious stomp, ring of continuation, charm person

Well, the point here is that it is really up to the GM to decide what is inside and outside a creature's general willingness. Tilling a field might really depend on the creature (I dont think Orcs care much for farming), but killing loved ones is probably always going to require a check, and might not even work (the creature might take its own life instead, its not your puppet after all).

The Totem Warrior was really just put in to give us a place to talk about the powers as a whole. Its not something you are required to take to acquire a group of totem powers.

Holy Symbol Tattoo is meant to avoid the need to free hand for divine focus.

Correct; that's the point of getting the tattoo. Of course, if you try to infiltrate an evil cult, you're gonna have some 'splainin' to do...

Jason and I think the "you lose all extraordinary and supernatural abilities that depend on your original form" rule covers it. If you're not in satyr form, you don't get your satyr racial DR.

(Note that it says "form," not "type," so changing form is sufficient.)

James Jacobs would be the final arbiter, but the spell was conceived to allow you to have the movement you travel with the spell be PART of the standard action of casting it. Thus, you could use your move action to get into position to line up a target or targets in the case of greater bladed dash, or as Bardez noted, it allows you to cast the spell as part of spell combat, move to your target and attack them and still leave the magus with the rest of his or her full attack.

Change the first line of the Benefit to: "Whenever you cast a 1st or higher level spell while you are maintaining a bardic performance..."

It's still a REALLY good feat for bards, obviously, but it only lets you maintain performances for a number of times per day equal to your depletable spell slots.

Wrath of the Righteous assumes "demon-slaying oriented characters"

In any event, Dance of Fury is not a bardic performance ability, even though it replaces one. It doesn't require use of a bardic performance to activate... it just requires the dervish dancer to move while a performance is going on. As such, it works with any other performance that's currently in action.

So... My monk has Weapon Focus (Unarmed Strike) and is wearing an Amulet of Mighty Fists +1. Does this mean he gets to add those two bonuses to other Combat Maneuvers such as Grapple?

I'd file that under "the GM is free to rule that in certain circumstances, a creature can apply weapon bonuses for these maneuvers."

diagonal rule counts for other things

Gods & Magic spells were meant to be faith-specific spells.

Your bonuses don't get added to item you make unless you pay extra for them. Otherwise, nobody would buy a regular wand of CLW for 750, they'd go to the guy with the Healing domain who's selling them for 750 (because it doesn't cost him anything to make them more powerful than the regular version).

Weapon cord doesn't remove AoO

The aquatic eidolon's free INA evolution counts toward the limited number of times you can select the evolution, and its listed natural armor value includes the +2 from the evolution.

IIRC, infernal healing doesn't actually make you evil, it just makes you detect as having an evil aura.

Thus, the character gains a negative level for a day, as per the spell description.

But for magic items, I would rule that something like boots of elvenkind WOULD grant you the bonus even if you were using versatile performance by using your Perform skill. The boots are supposed to make your Acrobatics work better, and it makes no sense at all for a character specialized in being all Acrobatic to suffer just because the rules allow her to use a different skill check.

why no SLA and eidolon out: Joel here has the basic idea of the summoner change just right. The change was made so that the two became more about versatility and options than raw power. We got a lot of horror stories in the playtest about summoner abuses and took a number of steps to correct them. I think folks will be pleased with the results.
