Hi all,

Reading several previous posts regarding witches "feeding" scroll soups to their familiars to add new (Wizard) spells, I was wondering if a similar mechanic existed for Half-Elf Bonded Witches, allow me to illustrate:

My level 12 Half-Elf Bonded Winter Witch has acquired a high-powered Wizard's spellbook containing all Arcane spells in the Core rules up to Level 6 (RoTRL Part 4).

Given she has no familiar and relies on her bonded item (ring), what is the clear mechanic for the Bonded Witch to "add" spells from the acquired spellbook into her bonded item ? Would she be able to commune scrolls scribed from the spellbook into her bonded item (ie. akin to a familiar's scroll "soup") or is there another method of achieving this ?

Many thanks for all your pointers.

A player with a Level 7 Sorcerer with Metamagic Master and Magical Lineage wants to cast a Maximised and Empowered Scorching Ray.

His argument is that the Base Level is 2, plus 3 for maximised, plus 2 for empowered. Total modifier equivalent to a Level 7 spell. But, Metamagic Master allows him to reduce the total spell level by 1 for EACH Metamagic feat used, plus the SAME again for Magical Lineage resulting in a total spell level of 3 (thus castable at Level 7).

I know he's wrong but I'm trying to decipher the rules so that I can explain how he is wrong.

Also, his math regarding the damage dealt seems odd. He is claiming each Scorching Ray (he can cast 2 at Level 7) can deal 49 pts of damage, which again to me sounds wrong. I think it should be 4d6, empowered to 4d9 and then maximized to result in 36 damage per each Ray, maximum. I am not aware of any other Sorceror Class abilities nor Feats that could increase this damage, unless he has some fire-affecting abilities that I'm not aware of.

Any tips on how to calculate getting out of this 'tangle', would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all !

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there is a single magic item (eg. from Ultimate Equipment) which grants the user just a +2 Will save only (excluding bonuses available from Ioun Stones and Cloaks of Resistance ?

Thanks for any pointers.

Hello all,

Apologies for re-hashing the same old 2WF question again but just wanted to check with you my logic is sound:

Level 6 Samurai (Sword Saint). 20 Str with Wakizashis both hands and Weapon Focus (Waki). Has 2WF and I2WF. Is this correct:

Attack 1: primary hand (first base attack up to lvl 5)
+11

Attack 2: off hand (2WF)
+11

Attack 3: primary hand (extra base attack at level 6)
+6

Attack 4: off hand (I2WF)
+6

Looking forward to hearing your agreements or clarifications.

All the best. Hex

Does anyone know if there is a feat (Paizo, Paizo-approved or 3rd party non-approved) which allows a Cleric to use their Channel Energy on a ranged attack ? Consider that like the Channel Smite feat but ranged, eg. "Ranged Channel" feat. Thanks for any advice...

I can't find the answer in the ARG unfortunately. My DM wants to know how powerful they are compared with other races...

All assistance gratefully appreciated.

In Seekers of Secrets (page 51) there are rules for generating resonance powers when placing an Ioun stone in a Wayfinder.

Can anyone explain where does the rules text from this source explicitly state that you CANNOT use cracked (or flawed) Ioun stones using Method 1 resonance detection.

As I understand it, I cannot read where it explicitly states this is NOT possible but I would like someone to show me if I am wrong (or not).

PS: I know the rules on this are explicit for PFS play but I want to know for a "normal" campaign. Someone on another thread has suggested that there is a 25% chance of detecting resonance powers in a cracked Ioun Stone but I cannot find this rule in any PFRPG source.

Many thanks for any clarifications.
