I don't think anybody needs that much makeup, unless you're going for the Teen Beauty Queen prestige class or want to take levels in Clown.

Somebody has yet to see Toddlers and Tiaras.

I had a very different experience from those. The only 9-tailed creatures I know of are

*the kitsune/humanoid ones that seduce people and steal their life force.
*Ninetails from Pokemon.
*Some terrible creature from The World Ends With You that if it grows all nine tails, will nuke (and probably kill) your party.

Edit: Add another one for fighters, rogues, rangers, paladins, sorcerers and ninjas. In addition, I think a cavalier may be able to get away with it as well(good luck fluffing that up). A summoner might also work since his main stat is charisma, and he could just focus on his eidolon.

Probably. This doesn't stop you from buying a bow and using it in the mean time. Sure it's against normal AC, but you probably will have a good dex and Gunslingers have Full BAB.
^My advice anyways.

It sounds similar to what I proposed a while back. Link

Cool. Although wouldn't be surprised at my lack of reading forums if someone else did too.

Sounds like grounds for falling.

here's the baseline: Monster Creation Guidelines

Generally, however: As long as you are getting more and more bonuses over time (such as increasing STR, Weapon Focus, Weapon Enhancements, etc.) you should be fine. My Magus has about the same hit chance as my TWF ranger.

418. Because I rolled on a "Invisible" table in some forum for my reason for joining the party... And I got:

1d4 ⇒ 41d100 ⇒ 16 The lich can mind control me.

EDIT: I did it wrong.
1d5 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 41d100 ⇒ 95 Uh...
1d5 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 41d100 ⇒ 43 Well...
1d5 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 31d100 ⇒ 30 I gave up conquering Lordran and headed south where it is warmer.

572. Because I am tired of typing this reason to--

Here's a start: Monster Creation Guidelines
It shows about the average for a certain CR. EDIT: Ninja'd on this part.

Although it isn't set in stone. I've seen AC 30ish be a good hard to hit number around level 8, and AC 35 is pretty difficult to hit. However, you are going to want to get a good CMD as well as Touch AC for other options, and be able to pose a threat to enemies, or they will turn their attention away.

But yeah, +1 AC/level isn't enough (although it is a start.) Also note some GMs may not be happy with it.

Or alternatively, echoing asthyril's comment: Make sure they don't get a chance to make AC become a problem.

I blame Cosmo for this thread.

My GM raised my anti-paladin because I didn't attend the annual orphanage barbecue and marshmallow roast. Was it fair of him to do so?

Is this one of those Rise or Rise scenarios?! Then no.

I don't see why we can't have Anti-Paladins falling in love with feminine demons or other anti-paladins.

Nothing beats making everyone's day miserable like doing it with your evil-as-you lady. "Hey, after we are done messing up Townsville, wanna do unspeakable things on the peasant's corpses?" I mean, they could be acting in the self-interest of BOTH of them ("You and me vs the world, baby!"

I'd be more afraid of them than the single Anti-Paladin, and I'm pretty sure that's a win for Evil...

Nightmare fuel... Fuuu, I'll get the brain bleach and do Lawful Good things to make up for it.

Why do people take the time to be jerkfaces in the first place?

I see no reason to call people a noob when a game goes bad: It only serves to make you lose worse.

Stereotypes suck. Really really bad. (Not all Christians are dumb, not all Aethiests are scumbags, not all gays act wierd, and most importantly: NOT ALL BLONDES ARE DUMB.)

Also, why do people have to go out of their way (and waste their time) to say someone's beliefs suck and are wrong. Personally, I don't even care what you believe in (or don't). I don't spend my time trying to prove that someone's beliefs suck.

And finally: Sarcasm doesn't translate across the internet.

They don't heal by natural means (sleeping, resting)

However, I can't find anywhere that says that Eidolons are not valid targets for Cure Anything Wounds(, mass).

possibly. Skill Focus gives a +3 to any skill (+6 with ten ranks) and is just a feat.

34. Just wing it.
35. Use the "Things I'll do if I ever became an Evil Overlord" as a guide to rule the world. I'll just start in a setting where I already rule the world.

Just let people play the way they want.

Again, we all have our playstyles. I would not want to play at a table if I am not only expected, but forced to play a certain way. For me, I enjoy the talk of strategy. Ultimately, it's still a game, you're playing to have fun. And I've seen several instances where both Role-players and "roll-players" get along fine and have fun.

On that note, I would have to say PFS is kind of limited in role-playing. It's hard to run a scenario and also do good role-playing. A home game is much better for that. Not to say PFS shouldn't have roleplaying, but it's kind of hard to fit in 4 hours.

(Then again, it really seems like our region doesn't fall under a lot of the common problems I see on the forums. Everyone gets along fine outside of personality conflicts, NOT game style conflicts. We also don't force people to play up or down, although that could be because we all have varying leveled characters, and we generally discuss what tier we are doing, who's playing what, etc.)

Ask your GM. The scenario may talk about the spellbook.

(I know one module that it talks about where you find the wizard's spellbook.)

This may not help, but I seriously just HAD to post it.

The Jumplomancer

Still a good read through all the pages. Yes, it is Wizards, but it's still pretty hilarious.

honestly I would think it depends.

I'd rule it may take multiple wishes depending on the feat.

And again, depends on the source. I may be wrong, but I don't think a Deck of Many Things is going to care, and may not mess it up. If it's in a person's interest (IE LG wish granter), they may not mess it up. If it was a devil against the party (because this totally happens...) he may screw it up.

@Coarthios sounds like a bad gm if every wish must fail.

Or be Tarquin from Order of the Stick.

Or Belkar.

Why must a majority of suggestions be "I'll get rid of them as conveniently as possible."

Who's to say he bluffs about being good (being evil the whole time), finishing the adventure, then retiring a super b****s evil overlord? I'm betting by level 15 or so (typical retirement level?) you can already take on a lot of stuff.

MAYBE. Evil =/= stab my party members in the back... Of course, if being general is a better job, then sure... Unless he still has loyalty to his party, then he might still help. He's might be a meanie to people in town if they don't give him what he wants.

it also says aasimar on there as well.

Maybe Paizo could develop a Player Companion about netiquette and the futility of academic arguments with total strangers? Oh, nevermind. No one would have any interest in reading that.

Darnit, but I was really hoping for that Reformed Netizen feat. It was going to send my Cyber-Diplomacy through to roof.

BRING OUT THE CANON CANNON

But it's not canon yet. We have to wait three more sourcebooks and two erratas.

Would you like the fan fiction phazer lazer?

Besides, aren't prophecies on Golarion, not supposed to work now?

I thought it was they aren't as trusted. Of course, I'm not entirely sure if anyone bothered to "divine" if Aroden would indeed come back, or if they did, and they knew he wouldn't, if people just called them crazy.

Who ya gonna call?

The insane asylum. I SHOULDN'T BE SEEING GHOSTS, WHY AM I SEEING GHOSTS!?!?!? AM I CRAZY??!? I'm not crazy!

I've had this happen twice, the second time being much more hilarious. So how it goes is: I was playing my witch, who casted Stinking Cloud on a group of bad guys. That nauseated a good bunch of them... Then someone glitter dusted them, and finally another character casted Silence on them. Essentially, we battery and assaulted ALL of their senses (Couldn't see, couldn't hear, smelled really bad, tasted really bad, and there was stinky glimmering dust on them.) The second time there was at least 10+ mooks in there, which frightened us, but then it turned into we are just waiting for them to come out into the open.

We had to go into a house to get something, but we had a cat burglar and other ninja-y character with us. Considering the building was three stories tall, we went to the third floor (flying, grappling hooks, climbing) and cleaned the house of enemies from top to bottom. We split one big combat into three separate ones.

We were in a dark cave, and my witch stayed behind the party so she wouldn't get face-stomped. No where close to 30 feet of bad guys, much less seeing them, but most everyone else had darkvision or their light spells countered by Darkness. So to cast a medium ranged spell, she tossed her wayfinder to try and see something... It didn't work out, I still couldn't see anything (I just saw an orb of darkness)

not really. Unless you are planning on multiclassing, it won't be as good later on without buffing yourself. The best thing would be weapon focus (nails or hair) since PCs can't take Multi-Attack.

You might also want to look at the Hexcrafter magus archetype. They get hexes as well, and are better at melee and survivability.

I imagine that there is no moral quandary if you find a crib full of goblin babies, as it means they have escaped their cages and likely have eaten the baby that was meant to be in that crib.

I could apply this equally to human babies.

I've seen them all played. It's probably either the summoner, alchemist, gunslinger, bard, monk, or oracle.

As for least liked, I think it goes to my witch for ruining encounters (and I don't even use Slumber.)

That mystic theurge build really seems spectacularly bad. Low bab, low caster level on a limited spell list and no scaling class abilities. What is it I'm missing?

I think for a magus, all you really want is more magus. Master of many styles adds a lot of value, and maybe a brief fighter dip is worth it as well. Eldritch knight doesn't seem worth it - you're basically just waiting for spell critical for 9 levels while all your class abilities fall behind.

As far as I know, it's 3 less bab from the magus's 15, which can be boosted by some cleric spells probably. It hardly has a low caster level as it's spell casting is essentially Magus 17/Cleric 13 (so sixth level magus spells and seventh level cleric spells, which is a LOT of spells) If it's a straight magus, I don't see any loss in good scaling class abilities. The heavy lifter is the Broad Study Arcana:

Broad Study (Ex): The magus selects another one of his spellcasting classes. The magus can use his spellstrike and spell combat abilities while casting or using spells from the spell list of that class. This does not allow him to cast arcane spells from that class's spell list without suffering the normal chances of arcane spell failure, unless the spell lacks somatic components. The magus must be at least 6th level and must possess levels in at least one other spellcasting class before selecting this arcana.

There are some nice cleric spells that could be used with this, and I won't forget to mention a big one: being able to use Cure spells as part of spell combat. Or heck, using them period.

Granted, you need a good INT and WIS to pull it off (if you have options to make it scale off INT or WIS only, all the better), and it does take awhile to shine, but it can be pretty amazing.

Winrar
7zip

I recommend Winrar. Oddly enough, despite the "trial," it still works for me years after it expired. All it does is a pop up stating it has expired X days ago.

I don't think Cheliax would really care about holy symbols. Somewhere, there's probably a Chelaxian Cleric of Sarenrae*.

After all, there is paladins in the Hellknight order.

*I may be wrong on spelling.

Most of a witch's stuff is mind affecting, so anything immune to those essentially shuts down a witch. The only hex she can get off is misfortune and cackle, and the first requires a successful save. Then she becomes a buffer.

Of course, if every encounter has things immune to mind affecting, a witch isn't going to be too happy with the gm.

Also, has no one thought of going after the squishy witch? The only thing I'd bad witch-wise is the accursed "scarred witch doctor" archetype that uses CON for casting.

Are we not unveiling the new rule that "power gaming" and optimization count as an alignment infractions, and that it moves your characters 3 steps towards evil and cannot be fixed by an atonement spell?

They changed their minds because since all classes have a main stat or three, having anything above a 14 or 13 in them was argued "optimization" and therefore EVERY society character would become auto evil...

Screw it, we do so many things in real life that is considered power-gaming/optimization (from saving money to your payments, insurance, etc.) So under those rules, EVERYONE IS EVIL!

Thomas has it right. The extra attack with ITWF and GTWF are at a -5 and -10 in addition to the penalty given for fighting with two weapons.

How about giving your BBEG a litter of Pugwampis? Then the witch and PC's can roll all d20s twice.

That actually wouldn't work as well as you think. For one, the BBEG MUST get a luck bonus from something, or he will roll twice, take worse as well. Also, unless you get the witch to start making concentration checks, my witch hardly EVER rolls a d20 in combat (in my defense, she doesn't use spells that require a touch attack.) That only serves to annoy the rest of the party.

Spell resistance seems to be out because Slumber is a Supernatural ability and it isn't subject to spell resistance, counterspells, or dispel magic. An anti-magic field will stop it, but pretty much again, everyone loses.

The best thing is to scatter the party or use archers as they are dangerous to witches as well. Have them close together so they can standard action to wake their sleeping buddies.

Don't EVER specifically target the familiar specifically, however, that's generally mean and akin to attacking a wizard's spellbook or a commoner as all three are very harmless compared to the party doing damage... The only exception is if they are in a area of effect, then sure why not... That and if the familiar actually IS being a nuisance (actually having an effect on combat such as doing damage, or flanking), then sure: Attacking a nuisance is fair game (and it ought to teach them familiars are not combat buddies.)*

yup, it ends before the next round.

However, if I remember correctly, Evil Eye does not have the only once on a target/24 hours clause, so feel free to try again (it was just you couldn't stack penalties IE -2 to attacks one round and then -2 the next for a -4.)

Also, by RAW, if you have a move action to cackle (or swift if you have the cackling blouse), you can extend a failed evil eye.

541. You ran out of gold at the tavern... And your tab is 400 platinum pieces... 401 platinum pieces, you really should take better count of what you drink.

I've had at least two female GMs. I didn't think any differently of them because of their gender. They are people too.

If someone thinks negatively of you, I wouldn't take it to heart. They might just be a bad person, and it's not your fault (unless you are a bad GM, but it doesn't sound like you are.) You should totally break the stereotype that girls can't game (or GM.)

first or second?

If it's the second, they still haven't done the rewards system for it yet.

under the description: enchantment (compulsion) [language-dependent, mind-affecting]

so yup, must be able to communicate

do note that your hexes won't scale unless gm says otherwise :(

as long as they make the dc, they would identify. Even if they aren't a caster at all, they can still identify (I've seen fighters pick up spell craft)

On the other hand, I would think if it was on your spell list (moreso prepared), you'd probably have a better chance at identifying it (there's no bonus afaik).

Another one for Bards are awesome. Buffs from a bard are extremely helpful, ESPECIALLY when you only have a fighter.

(Although similar in concept, my last game had a witch, fighter, "mystic theurge", and a cleric. It was mostly "Buff buff buff the fighter!" because everyone else was squishy and not made for up front combat... It was made worse by the scenario was made especially to counter casters, and even worse was everything would crush squishies.)

BigNorseWolf sums it up.

So in a manner speaking, yes: you do have to get Rapid Reload, and alchemical cartridges are pricy. But you are targeting touch AC, which is almost ALWAYS easy to hit.

Just to interject, there's a sorcerer bloodline ability (sanguine I think it is) that let's you drink blood and heal from it. It's possible the dhampir is using that power (via bloodline or via eldritch heritage) and not the Dhampire gift, in which case, there's different verbiage about evil or not.

That's still evil.

I don't even think Paizo is worth a billion dollars, although I'd like to think that in my mind (Great company.)

1) already being done
2) sounds like it's in.
3) done.
4) except that's why it's majorly sandbox. Those are theme park things, and that's why they cost so much. Although I am behind player-created dungeons/stories, that sounds like they will have it eventually. Not sure on paying, though (I think they said no to paying for separate areas. I could be wrong.)
5) I'm indifferent, but I don't think it'd have much place in a sandbox (conquerer a settlement? Quick, let's go to war!)
6) That could go with arenas, but I'm not really a big fan of ranking in ladders as all it seems to me is just "this build > everything else." Then again, that's me. I never liked where you HAVE to build this way or suck in PvP.
7) This would be an entirely different game. Also, as interesting as a MOBA Pathfinder could be, it just doesn't make sense (why would a wizard use just 4 abilities?), and I don't think the community of those games is what Paizo wants. Plus, it would split up the community (and there's more upkeep involved.)

I don't think there will be instances in the typical sense. Dungeons will pop up randomly, but it won't be limited to one party: Another party could come into the same dungeon and run into the same party, and it could lead to: They team up to beat the bad guys, they duke it out because "we were here first", or some other thing ("Thanks for helping us all this way *gesture* *SHANK* we'll take the treasure from here! MUAHAHAHAHA!!")
