<p>The players in my Wrath game are just about to move in on Citadel Drezen and I'm doing all my prep work now. Looking through the module, I really don't like Eustoyrix as a final boss. </p>
<p>I'm thinking of have the Xacarba that was listed as the original guardian still be alive, but the Nahyndrian elixir weakened him instead of killed him. My only problem is properly de-powering him. I'm going to leave him the same size, but applying the modifiers to make him Huge, except the dex, just to reduce the damage and DC on the poison a bit. Also remove the Hezrou from his summon list.</p>
<p>The rest I'm planning on applying negative levels to even him out, but my problem is that I'm not really sure how many to apply. I was thinking of giving him 4 negative levels, but wanted to know if this may still be too much. </p>
<p>As a power level gauge, my players took down Soltengrebbe in one round. And that's with one of the four of them being unable to get in range to attack.</p>

<p>My friends and I recently started society play during our home game. I'm going to be starting GMing shortly for these games and had a quick question about the items on the chronicle sheet.</p>
<p>In the section of the guide for organized play dealing with filling out the chronicle sheet, step 7 states that you are to cross out any treasure the players didn't find. That part is fine. I get it. </p>
<p>The guide also states, "if you're running the lower subtier, always cross out all of the items listed for the higher subtier". So running the 1-2 subtier in a 1 - 5 tier module, you cross out the 4-5 subtier. But what if you're running the 4-5 subtier? Do you cross out the 1-2? I'd assume yes.</p>

<p><b>Range</b> close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)</p>
<p>Since that is not how its range is formatted, it is not a close range spell. </blockquote><p>I disagree with that interpretation. The description of close range inherently includes spells with ranges expressed other than as quoted above based on their values falling within a particular range category. Color Spray is much like a three-legged dog, it won't meet the reasonable definition that all dogs have four legs, but it's still a dog. Color Spray is 15 feet, which one would reasonably qualify as within the limits of 'close range'.
<p>Let's say Color Spray was expressed in such terms as you have described above. There would be problems, the area of effect would be too large for a level one spell that renders unconscious, blinds and stuns multiple creatures and because the point of origin of the spray is the Wizard's hand it would lead players to presume that the cone continues to expand as the range increases with every two wizard levels.</p>
<p>The definition of close range reads "The spell reaches as far as 25 feet away from you". 'As far as' is just as good as "no farther than". Color Spray would be described as close range because: it's longer range than touch and closer range than medium. Fifteen feet is certainly no farther than (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels). </p>
<p>If the point of origin of a touch spell (a wizard's hand) can be displaced with Reach Spell, then why not a spray? The area of effect is merely displaced and not expanded as per "Widen Spell". That is the point of the feat after all. </p>
<p></blockquote><p>The problem with this is that you're trying to use Reach Spell to change the point of origin for the spell. Reach Spell does not change the point or origin. It only affects the range the spell can be used at. The point of origin is the same.
<p>The range of 15ft in the spell description is only listed to indentify the area of the cone.</p>Grayfen Starling wrote:If the goal is to increase the AoE of Color Spray, I concede that Widen Spell is the appropriate feat to effect same.

<p>Range
<br />
SW - Medium
<br />
MS - Close</p>
<p>Spiritual weapon has a greater range</p>
<p>Component
<br />
SW - V,S,DF
<br />
MS - V,S,F (250 gp mini platinum sword)</p>
<p>Spiritual weapon can be used without costly focus.</p>
<p>To Hit
<br />
SW - BAB+Wis mod
<br />
MS - CL+Int/Cha+3</p>
<p>Safe to say that Mage's Sword is normally going to have a better to hit. Though a good warpriest build with a good BAB could give it a good run for it's money.</p>
<p>Damage
<br />
SW - 1d8+(1/3 caster levels)
<br />
MS - 4d6+3</p>
<p>Mage's Sword does do more damage per hit, but...</p>
<p>Atk/Round
<br />
SW - per BAB
<br />
MS - 1</p>
<p>Spiritual weapon can have multiple attacks per round, making it possible to have a higher damage output. One miss from MS means no damage for the round while SW can have another go.</p>
<p>Action to switch targets
<br />
SW - Move
<br />
MS - Standard</p>
<p>Spiritual Weapon can be re-directed and still leave you with the ability to cast another spell.</p>
<p>Final verdict, while Mage's Sword seems to have the better base damage and higher attack modifier, the ability to have multiple attacks give Spiritual Weapon a balancing factor. Couple that with the fact that it's a second level spell and you can more easily have multiple castings up, I think it's safe to say that the boost of 5 spell levels is something that has to be re-worked.</p>Ok, Let's spell out some differences between Spiritual Weapon and Mage's Sword to see if it's worth a 5 spell level difference.

I think all the abilities should be some sort of bonus based on level like your Lawful ability.</p>I like the idea, but certain things could be abused. For example, Good gaining +1 skill point per level. What if they change alignment to Neutral later on. They still benefit from the skill points they've already gained. I think all the abilities should be some sort of bonus based on level like your Lawful ability.Flintas2013-03-05T16:58:31ZRe: Forums: Advice: Paladin/Oracle GestaltFlintashttps://paizo.com/threads/rzs2phat?PaladinOracle-Gestalt#112013-02-15T17:35:45Z2013-02-15T17:35:45Z<div class="messageboard-quotee">RumpinRufus wrote:</div><blockquote> Man, I would be <b>so</b> tempted to take the Battle mystery instead.

Last session his Eidolon got killed, so we're going to be without him until we rest. We're in a dungeon, so that may be hard to do. </p>
<p>My friend told me today that he's been looking up summons to use for the remainer of the day and that his most likely will be a Babau. I don't think he's realized that it's a Demon or what my character's likely reaction will be. We haven't faced demons yet, and the fact that they are my main enemies has no tcome up, but he knows that I smite chaos instead of good and am part of the armies of hell.</p>
<p>Nothing has been said in game yet, but do you think I should let him know out of game of the potential problem of summoning a demon or should I just let it play out and attack the Babau when I see it appear? My friend has a good sense of humor, so he may appreciate it.</p>So I'm playing a LE paladin that follows devils (variant made for this game) and one of my friends is playing a summoner.

<p>By the same idea, casting feather fall would be a swift action. It seems to make sense.</p>Dekalinder wrote:The action needed is the casting time of that same spells.
