generally more accurately referred to as a slam :P

That is a natural attack. They both can be made.

"If it's in my mouth, it's in my possession"

That's what she said.

Shields are weapons.

Look at the weapon listing, and you will find, Shields, and Spiked Shield.

Check out the Fighter Weapon Groups, and you will find Shields.

Shields, are weapons.

Just ask Captain America.

No.

If he wants to use any Extract on someone other than himself, he needs the Infusion Discovery.

This is RAW.

I would avoid the Sorcerer dip completely.

The Rogue already has it's troubles.

What are your current stats and build?

Why do some players feel that all evil PCs have no friends, no awareness of repercussion, no need for love, and no common sense?

This is why most evil PCs don't fly with DMs.

I like my evil PCs to have an effect on people that makes them say "wait, why would you do that? Oh yeah, you're evil. Dang, I forgot. Man, that is evil."

Most evil doesn't like to spread that fact around, and often don't consider themselves evil.

Please post your current build.

Also, your build intentions.

To put it simply:

Supernatural abilities require none of those components, unless called out as requiring one in the ability description.

It is just that easy.

The improved rage and timeless rage abilities are Barbarian class features that alter Rage.

You do not gain these class features.

Hmm. Now a Scion of Humanity Aasimar with the Racial Heritage(Half-Elf) seems worth it.

Paragon Surge man.

Lamashtu.

How can anyone forget Lamashtu?

Worshipers of Lamashtu really love animals.

Maybe a bit more than most are comfortable with.

Two year old threads.

They can be tricky to respond to.

Target random creatures, and spam Epidemic.

Inquisitor is your answer.

You realize that how interesting a character is has nothing to do with the stats and everything to do with HOW you PLAY the character... right?

You know, when I say this exact same thing, it doesn't seem to stick.

We tried.

You're right. The entire game would collapse without 7s or 18s.

No, but the world is not destroyed with them, and the lack of them don't magically make more interesting characters.

Don't be a d*ck either.

Why in god's name is every low score some kind of sin?

Why is this "vanilla" PC more interesting?

Total Concealment

If you have line of effect to a target but not line of sight, he is considered to have total concealment from you. You can't attack an opponent that has total concealment, though you can attack into a square that you think he occupies. A successful attack into a square occupied by an enemy with total concealment has a 50% miss chance (instead of the normal 20% miss chance for an opponent with concealment).

You can't execute an attack of opportunity against an opponent with total concealment, even if you know what square or squares the opponent occupies.

Edit: Ninja'd

That is, weird.

I would not run mad on an off-hand comment though.

Having a Spell-like ability count as either Arcane, or Divine, is a huge can of worms.

Edit: Okay, that was more than one post.
I am not sure how to take that.
It's like finding out your girlfriend is a dude.

Honestly, this much restriction can create a number of bland NPC style characters.

Nobody below 10, and no one above 16.

A group of cardboard cutouts, each painted up, to look unique.

By the way, I am thinking I will build this "Vanilla Man".

Like a super hero, who has the power, to be average, at everything.

Some people, are not there for total "min/max", but still love the RP value of a 7, or 18.

This "vanilla man" only crud just doesn't fit in my mind as the typical adventurer.

Adventurers are outsiders, and unique individuals.

They do things most sane people would never consider.

The only time low scores bug me, is when the player ignores it, and RPs as if it did not exist.

To me, if you choose to have a low score, you better dang well RP that, or I am going to have you adjust your scores accordingly.

I'm a Concept Stealer. I go and play video games or watch movies and I'll grab bits and pieces of characters and put them together for my concept.

Oh god, I so support this.

I am an avid advocate of this process.

This how I often start most of my concepts(though they change over time) and how I often get newer players to get excited about Pathfinder, and the fun of creating characters.

Beginner's Box is a good first step.

Everyone is different, and requires a different approach.

What is your sister and her friends in to?

Hobgoblin.

Where there's a whip, there's a way!

Well, then things like Murderous Command and Confusion have no effect in PFS?

If you can attack an ally, you can use a combat maneuver on them.

A combat maneuver is an attack.

I will likely need to repeat.

A combat maneuver is an attack.

Torture is not really effective.

Eventually, they just admit to anything, whether it is true or not.

The victim may even try to commit suicide after awhile.

Basically, mechanically, it's just a bonus to intimidate.

I would note this act as a mark, and after a few marks, I would begin an alignment shift, one step, towards evil.

Yes, but why is the Rum gone?

I keep forgetting that people still use XP.

Yeah.

That Knight on his Celestial Horse, using his space metal Lance, is totally cool.

When his space metal Lance doesn't break, well, that totally breaks the suspension of disbelief.

I feel like this needs to be brought up for an official FAQ. This can't be the intention for it to work this way.

Even if it is I simply wont ever play a game this way. Unlimited invisibilty that can't be dispelled or otherwise defeated shouldn't exist. With the combination of items and feats you have listed BBT, unless someone has an higher perception than you have stealth you will never be found. That just shouldn't be possible. You shouldn't be perpetually invisible.

If you tried this at my table my response would be "F**k you, you're dead."

It's a huge investment, and doesn't come full circle until late level.

Being a noncaster, and being able to do something cool, is not something you should punished.

You must not have much experience with optimized full casters.

So, a PC, with the Hellcat Stealth feat, and one level in Shadowdancer(or with the Shadow Well ability of the Shadow Bloodline) attempts to hide.

What does he need?

A Bluff check?

A Move action to move?

What if he just attacked?

I would allow it.

It totally functions whilst invisible. Totally undisputed RAW.

Some people are just really angry about it, and want to complicate it with houserules.

For me, complicating, and nerfing Flanking, is just annoying, and really only serves as a way of pleasing the DM's need to up his suspension of disbelief.

Even weirder, is these are usually the same DMs who disallow jumping charges, even though there are feats based around it.

Ranger, with the two handed style, gets you Power Attack without the 13 strength.

Great with Dervish Dancer.

Ability damage has no effect on alignment.

None.

Nothing RAW, and nothing that can be logically houseruled.

Basically, he dropped the soap, and you want to kill his first born.

That is logic train we are currently on.

I am not seeing the big deal.

We know how RAW works here.

I guess when it comes to forcibly inserting reality into a fantasy game, some people just want to watch the world burn.

You can also Flank a Blind creature.

That would great way to screw the already screwed Rogues.

Inserting too much "realism" into combat causes the rules to degrade.

Threatened, as in the established game terms of threatening.

Both threaten, and Flanking requirements are met.

Gargoyles can Bite/Gore.

Sets a precedent.

A swarm composed of Fine or Diminutive creatures is immune to all weapon damage.

Couldn't you just be more of Teen Wolf, or Thriller Werewolf?

The fact that adventurers are glorified murderers always seems to fly over peoples heads.

Think of Marv, from Sin City.

That is an adventurer.

Males experience sexism as well.

He realized Monks were underpowered, got sad, and left.

Dampen Presence.

Ever try to get rid of a swarm of Bees with a Shotgun?

Barbarian the class, and Barbarian the cultural stereotype are different things.

Conan would have Fighter/Ranger levels.
