So, the Klar, is listed as an One-handed weapon, in the weapon entry.
In the description, however, it states that "A traditional klar counts as a light wooden shield with armor spikes. A metal klar counts as a light steel shield with armor spikes."
Now, Light Shields, are also light weapons.
So, which is it?
What exactly do they count as a Spiked Light Shield for?
Feats? Class abilities? Two-weapon Fighting penalties? Enchantments?
Do they count as both a light, and one-handed weapon?
Now, we know that Overhand Chop cannot be used with a One-Handed weapon wielded in two hands.
What happens when Overhand Chop is combined with Jotungrip?
Advanced Player's Guide wrote:
Overhand Chop (Ex)
At 3rd level, when a two-handed fighter makes a single attack (with the attack action or a charge) with a two-handed weapon, he adds double his Strength bonus on damage rolls.
This ability replaces Armor Training 1.

Jotungrip (Ex)
At 2nd level, a titan mauler may choose to wield a two-handed melee weapon in one hand with a –2 penalty on attack rolls while doing so. The weapon must be appropriately sized for her, and it is treated as one-handed when determining the effect of Power Attack, Strength bonus to damage, and the like.
So, a really odd situation has come up in the current RotRL game.
To give a little preface, let's lay down core players to the situation:
NG Gnome Ranger/Fighter, hell bent on saving the world from the "goblin scourge", after having Parents/Friends killed by them. Also, adopted father of a Half-Orc PC, who was later killed by Goblins(sort of).
CN Possessed Oracle/Titan Mauler Barbarian, follower of Lamashtu, with a "motherly" bent in worship, and biological mother of the fallen Half-Orc PC, looking to wipe out the "Heretic" followers of Lamashtu.
Now, in Thistletop, after slaying many Goblins, Goblin Zombies, Ghouls, Yeth Hounds, and then even more Goblins, and Goblin Zombies, we began cleaning up, and searching everywhere.
That is when we found the Goblin Babies.
Now, our Gnome Ranger was very keen on a "mercy killing" of the Goblin Babies, as was a few other party members. The Human Oracle was not so pleased with the idea, as was another member of the party.
This caused quite a debate amongst the party, and had it not been for a random Ghoul rising, would have continued. Now, the babies have been quietly squirreled away momentarily by the other party member, and the session ended post combat.
Thing is, this will come up next session, and want some advice on dealing with the situation.
Any advice?
By the way, I am playing the CN Possessed Oracle/Titan Mauler Barbarian.
Okay, I figured I have this understood, but I like to check my P's and Q's.
So, Rage reads:
Rage:
While in rage, a barbarian cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or any ability that requires patience or concentration.
So:
1) Can I use a spell-like ability?
2) Cast a Quickened Spell?
3) Use a Quickened spell-like ability?
4) Make a Heal check to stabilize an ally?
5) Make an Escape Artist check to escape a grapple?
The Soothsayer's Raiment is keyed to a specific Revelation, but unlike the Ring of Revelation, it has no level restriction to use the Revelation.
Now, under this current understanding, how is an Oracle, with the Outer Rifts Mystery, affected by a Soothsayer's Raiment, with the Dread Resilience Revelation keyed to it?
So, with the discovery that the Coca Plant exists in Golarion, as does the drug, Cocaine, made from it(see here), I have decided to try to stat it out.
Supposing one could cast the spell whilst raging, such as through the Raging Spellstrength ability of the Rage Prophet, do the rounds of suppressed confusion count against the total number of rounds of per day of rage?
Presented in Rise of the Runelords 5: Sins of Saviors, were two Relics of Faith to Lamashtu.
They were not present in the Anniversary Edition, and wanted to convert them.
Here they are:
Black Milk of the Demon Queen:
This substance looks like
fresh white milk and always remains just below human
body temperature. When touched by
a member of the cult of Lamashtu
or held in a container by a member
of the cult, the pure white color
quickly changes to black. It smells
sweet but bears a slight undertone
of spoilage. An ounce of it is the
equivalent of dark reaver powder (ingested
DC 18, 2d6 Con initial, 1d6 Con and 1d6
Str secondary). If the victim rolls a 1 on
the second saving throw, he gains some
bestial trait, such as animal fur, a mane,
a snout, backward-bending legs, clawed
hands or feet, and so on. This is always
a drawback that imposes a permanent
–4 penalty on Charisma and never an
advantage (a snout does not give the Scent ability,
clawed hands do not grant claw attacks, and so on). This
physical alternation can only be cured by amputation followed
by regeneration, limited wish, miracle, or wish. A pregnant woman who
consumes black milk has a miscarriage or a stillbirth. If she nurses
a child while her ability damage is still in effect, the child suffers
the effect of the poison as well. The black milk still functions if used
as an ingredient in some other food (such as bread or cheese). It
is detectable as evil.
Worshipers of Lamashtu are immune to black milk’s adverse
effects and instead gain a +4 enhancement bonus to Constitution
for 24 hours and immediately heal 3d8+5 hit points of damage
upon consuming it. Sometimes the goddess provides 2 to 12 uses
of black milk in lieu of the Waters of Lamashtu as a reward to a
tribe she favors.
Tablet of the Betrayal:
This stone tablet depicts Lamashtu’s
battle with Pazuzu. Roughly a foot long and nearly 3 inches thick,
the item was created by followers of Pazuzu and bears cracks and
scars from centuries of wear and abuse. Holding the tablet in one’s
hand gives the bearer a +3 bonus on all saving throws. Once per day,
the bearer can use the tablet to cast a banishment spell (caster level
15th); a minion of Lamashtu has a –2 penalty to the save against this.
At some point, the item fell into the hands of a priest of the Mother
of Monsters who, after a long ritual, managed to “retune” its effects so that the wielder can, if he chooses, use it to cast summon monster
VI once per day instead of banishment. The tablet radiates a strong
evil aura and bestows one negative level on any good creature who
touches or carries it. The negative level remains as long as the item is
held or carried. This negative level never results in actual level loss,
but it cannot be overcome in any way (including restoration spells)
while the bearer has the item. Members of the cult of Pazuzu have
been found with baked-clay copies of the original tablet that, while
lacking the powers of the true tablet, can be broken to allow the
bearer to cast a dismissal spell (caster level 7th).
What advice do people have, as to converting these items?
Situation:
In two of my current games, I have a fellow player, who consistently asks me questions about rules, and then immediately after I answer, he says "I think you are wrong" or the like. Never agreeing with me, not even once.
We then look it up, I am right, and he responds either " ...whatever", "well that's stupid it should work this way..." or "well in 3.5 it was...".
This happens so often, that on my way to game one time, I bet one of my other fellow players driving me there 5 bucks he would say it. I won. He asked less than 5 minutes after we walked in the door.
Now, to fair, I will sometimes say "I am not sure" and then we look it up.
I even confronted him, and the response was excessive scoffing, and then dismissal, and accusations of overreaction.
So, how do I get the point across that I am trying to help, but tired of whatever the hell he is trying to do?
How do the rules handle an Oracle with the Haunted Curse dropping dangerous objects like Caltrops, Alchemist Fire, Acid, or any other dangerous object?
I was curious to know if anyone has done a conversion of the Lamashtu worshiping alternate Druid class, Ashvawg Tamer, from Rise of the Runelords: Sins of the Saviors?
If not, I wonder how one would go about it.
As written, it is an older version of the current Class Archetypes.
Obviously, the Variant Companion and Exotic Companion abilities would be the most difficult to convert.
Luckily, the Hippogriff Companion is already done, but the others are not.
Cutting down the list will make it easier, but what should be on the list?
