Hello fellow gms.. and rules lawyers.

I have a odd question. I have a player who created a Bloodrager with Draconic bloodline and my question comes down to the claws.

So the Bloodrager bloodline states "These claws are treated as natural weapons, allowing you to make two claw attacks as a full attack, using your full base attack bonus"

but if you look at natural weapons it specifically calls out. That there are primary and secondary( off hand natural weapons)

"Most creatures possess one or more natural attacks (attacks made without a weapon). These attacks fall into one of two categories, primary and secondary attacks. Primary attacks are made using the creature’s full base attack bonus and add the creature’s full Strength bonus on damage rolls. Secondary attacks are made using the creature’s base attack bonus –5 and add only 1/2 the creature’s Strength bonus on damage rolls"

So I guess the question really is.

Does the second attack take the -5 for being a secondary(off hand) attack. and it should only get half of the str bonus also ?

Hello there gents ( and ladies)

I figured I would share my Low magic campaign it is simply called

" Dark City"

it is Pathfinder based , and uses a low magic system, wound thresholds, and a madness, despair, insanity checks.

It is meant to have a certain old school ravenloft feel to the campaign. I have some background material already written for the campaign and some basic rules and other bits in pdf form on my web site and it is all free to use.

ok so in ...Pathfinder Society Scenario #5–06:
You Have What You Hold

Question about the boon and how the players can use it....

boon spoiler:

Smine’s Best: Following your spectacular performance in the Arena of Aroden, Venture-Captain
Holgarin Smine decided to craft a spectacular new weapon (colloquially known as a “Smine”) to
commemorate your victory. You may apply this boon to any one weapon made primarily out of metal
when you purchase it. Alternatively, you may spend 2 Prestige Points to apply this boon to a pre-existing
weapon that the venture-captain modifies for you. When you choose the weapon, record its type below.
While wielding that weapon, you gain a +1 bonus on performance combat checks as well as a +1 bonus
on Intimidate checks made against creatures proficient with that weapon. In addition, increase the
weapon’s hit point total by 5.

Does this qualify a player to fix " gamin the misforged" since it clearly indicates the weapon smith is enchanting it and adding hp's ?

.

this may be a good one to FAQ...

so we had to start things off right with a 3d layout of Sandpoint for the opening game.

This was how i pictured Sandpoint for the festival

Dwarvenforge- tavern set, round corners(dwarvenite), tables and bits
Hirst arts- temple ruins, towers, podium.. and misc bits
some homemade tree's and other bits

so swarm suit says -
These heavy and overlapping layers of clothing, coupled with a wide hat outfitted with a dense, veil-like netting around its brim makes it all but impossible for Diminutive and Fine creatures to make physical contact with your body. Wearing a swarmsuit cuts your speed in half, but gives you DR 10/— against swarms of Fine creatures and DR 5/— against swarms of Diminutive creatures.

so a rat swarm is considered " tiny"

so technically the suit doesn't help against a rat swarm is this correct ?

thoughts ?

thats right...

Art of war ( game store) in Cincinnati Ohio

The Ruins of Bonekeep—Level One: The Silent Grave.

A Pathfinder Society Special for characters of 3rd to 7th level (Tier 3–7).

An enemy of the Pathfinder Society recently found a hidden dungeon in a centuries-old siege fortress, but despite his best efforts to convert it into his base of operations, he failed. When a pair of Pathfinders encounter disaster while scouting out the entrance, the party must explore the first level of the dungeon to determine not just what attacked their comrades but also what dark power their nemesis nearly acquired.

I am pondering starting a new gm credit baby

something i have wanted to roleplay for awhile.
not real sure if this would fall under skinning or not ?

So i am thinking to make a sorcerer with aberrant bloodline.
take tiefling (Rakshasa blooded)

so the idea is make him looks sorta like a mindflayer
since rakshasa can look like numerous creatures in face..

but roleplay idea is he is slowly becoming a mindflayer.
spell selection will reflect the mindlfayer heritage idea.
levitate,teleport,daze,charms,ect...

if i take the tiefling tail trait- could i say its my tentacles?
or is that to far into skinning territory?

thoughts? suggestions?

I have a PFS player ask me yesterday about his alchemist buying a breastplate of Noqual ore

would the noqual interfere with extracts?

i would assume no since they act as potions- not as a cast spell

thoughts?

or does drinking the extract count as the " casting"?

any tips on how to deal with a player with a druid character
that spams elemental and uses elemental shape to bypass traps and such
via earth glide ability.

i dont want to say he cheats... but good lord he abuses the rules.

I dont allow it but another gm was allowing him to use para-elemental (mud,ect)

this game he was wanting to scout ahead every room in elemental form(earth glide) in a dungeon. this theory is that he can peek out and no one can see/attack him b/c he is in the wall?

getting frustrated...

Dark Archive

yes i know they stack....

quick question ...

i searched forums havent found it asked before

if fienedflayer uses fiendblade can they enchant the blackblade with the abilities ?

I have a player who thinks they can use this ability along with the blackblade energy ablity..

to me it reads the fliendblade summons a new weapon( poof) and thats what you have to use?

thoughts ?

In the future would it be possible for the developer to please have fewer level gaps in module sets such as these!

If a character comes into thornkeep at lvl 2 then there will be a gap after the The Dark Menagerie... if they start at lvl 1 its even more confusing.

Most gm's and players would much rather play from lvl 1-7 without the huge gaps in the story.

So I picked up 2 of these boons at gen con..

Quick question ?

Do I need to determine the fame needed by the price of the bundle of 10? Or go by the normal bundle of 50 for fame needed?

So if I use these on my gunslinger do I just figure my cost for bullets plus the +2 enchantment?

The way the boon is written it seems a lvl 1 gunslinger could purchase a bundle of 10 bane bullets... or 10 holy bullets?

our party consisted of a
gunslinger lvl 1
