Ever since I saw the Hobgoblin Whip feats, all I could think of was this.
I am shocked no one has ever thought to make a Hobgoblin Whip build.

One of my fellow players created Mizu, a Samsaran mystic thurge just last night for our homebrew game. She has been added to the Character Gallery (though she currently uses the old sheet format).
Ravingdork |
No it is not a homebrew thing (only the setting is homebrew). She gains caster level increases from her traits as well as from her organizational benefits (such as "esoteric training," which is clearly spelled out on the character sheet.

His Corrosive Bolt lasts 20 rounds? How'd you manage that?
He's cast Extended Metamagic feat on them together with Intensified Spell.
Hello btw, I've been lurking around the thread for a while looking through the concepts and I'm impressed. I create a few characters myself, but not on this large a scale.
Good job, Ravingdork!

* That is, I did not come up with the character concept. Most of these are from older editions and were upgraded or reinterpreted to Pathfinder by yours truly. Those that were born of Pathfinder often had helpful input from me to their creator.

Intensified spell does nothing for the duration of Corrosive Bolt, it just increases the maximum damage dice by 5 levels. In this case, turning 5d4 into 10d4. Corrosive Bolt has a duration of 2 rounds, Extend makes this 4 rounds. So it's now 10d4 per round for 4 rounds.
It appears, to me anyway, that the duration was multiplied by Intensified Spell, which is odd as they don't interact.
Ravingdork |
Corrosive bolt has a duration of 1 round/level, not 2. Says so right on the duration line. Perhaps you were looking at acid wave right below it?

The PRD is in error. I checked my Hardcopy Book, my PDF, the PFSRD (which is more accurate), the PRD you linked, the FAQ/Errata, and the Forums. Corrosive Bolt has a duration 2 rounds.
Ravingdork |
Tels, nothing is more up to date or official than the PRD.
The PFSRD can't be more accurate as it is a wholly unofficial 3rd party site known for changing the wording and placement of rules (and thus the rules themselves).
If there truly is a FAQ or errata regarding Corrosive Bolt, perhaps you could provide some links?
Tels |
Ravingdork, what I meant is that if you check the published books, and the published PDFs, Corrosive Bolt is listed as duration of 2 rounds.
On the following round, the target takes this damage again.
Notice the spell description says round, not rounds.
I know some people love the PRD, but in my time using both the PRD and the PFSRD, I've noticed discrepancies. In every single case, I've checked the books when I can, the PDFs, I've checked the Forums and the FAQs/Errata's for the correct answer. Every time, without fail the PFSRD is in the correct and the PRD is incorrect. The PFSRD, while not published by Paizo, is also updated and maintained by the fans, while the PRD is maintained by people who often times have more important duties.
I mentioned the FAQ/Errata because when I checked the book and PDF, the duration was listed as 2 rounds. I checked to see if this had been changed with a FAQ/Errata and it hasn't. When I searched the forums, I could find no statement by a Paizo person (even in an unofficial capacity, like James Jacobs' rulings) that the duration was changed to 1 round/caster level.
Something you should keep in mind, Ravingdork, is that the PRD is often out of date with the FAQ/Errata system. I went through and compared the Errata to the PRD and the PRD is out of date. Granted, I only checked a small percent of them, but Errata from as far back as 2011 (such as for the Witch) that I checked is still missing on the PRD. This is not true for the PFSRD, where all Errata are included very quickly.
Just because something isn't the official source, doesn't mean it isn't correct. If I found a book of laws from the 1930s and compared it to a non-government law book from today, the one from today is more correct even if it isn't an official government law book.

BLASPHEMER!
^_^
Four rounds of 10d4 is still pretty awful for the recipient and likely doesn't make too much difference as they will still be suffering 20d4 on round 2, 30d4 on round 3, and 40d4 on round 4. Odds are they are dead before they get to round 5 anyways.
In all seriousness, though I believe you in that it was a "stealth correction" of some kind, I don't buy that quote you provided as being enough evidence to really backup your claim. Looking at it in the context of more than two rounds, a reader could easily interpret it as repeating without any changes to the way it is written.

Well I for one have very much enjoyed your efforts to date RD.
Thanks for this and the many more I'm sure you'll provide in the future.
(Hint, Hint)
:)
Speaking for myself, one of the LEAST rules-lawyer-y people I know, I know I often find things I cannot explain or get the math to equal what is listed. I just presume that RD has gone through the rules MUCH more than I have, and presume it is correct. :)
Besides, I have always loved fitting feats/powers/etc together into new and interesting new concepts.
Speaking of which,... ;P
I had an idea for a Magus whose specialty was getting multiple magical weapons up and running all at the same time.
My attempt at this involved the use of spells (Warding Weapon) the Arcane Pool (Dancing property) and the 3pp extra magus Arcana (Animate Weapon)
It works, but it takes like 2-3 rounds (even with Quick Draw) to get everything up and running. And I can't figure out how to get more weapons dancing all at once. ;P
Ah well, the drawing board is still there,... :)
Keep up the good work!

Ragadolf, why not just use the telekinesis spell to attack with all your weapons? Seems far simpler.
Dòmhnall Cinàed, obviously Angol paid someone to craft the golem's body for him. Doing it yourself is not a requirement last I checked.
I Hate Nickelback |
I thought this, but at this point will not be better have someone to craft the whole golem, giving him the Amulet, and spend the feats for something else?
That's the same as the GM giving you a million gold pieces at level 1, spending them on the perfect items for your class, and saying you made a good, flavorful character.

I actually had thought about that early on. The main problems with it are;
-Telekinesis is a 5th lvl spell, and I was trying to get the basic effect of 'multiple magic weapons' at least started earlier than that, and-The version of Telekinesis that could do that basic effect, (Violent thrust- hurl one object per caster lvl) uses up the spell energy in one round. Not exactly what I was trying for.
Although, still a great vs BBEG tactic for the character. :)

What level is she listed as Havoq? The latest rendition of her doesn't have any of the things you mentioned (and the old rendition of her wasn't made by me, so having that many character flaws isn't the least bit surprising).
Be sure you are looking at the NEW character gallery, which has everyone in the same place. The individual links at the start of this thread haven't been updated in a LONG time.
Ravingdork |
As you said yourself, a lot of things about the old version of her just didn't make sense. What's more, she was terribly vanilla, literally one of the least interesting high level characters I've ever seen.
So I changed her; gave her a theme. And I didn't personally like the old portrait, but to each their own.
EDIT: Please let me know if you find any other errors.
Havoq |
Yeah, she was vanilla, but I DID like that pic. This version is no doubt better conceived.
*edit* This version if changed to Halfing would make for an interesting PFS legal character. ...with the necessary edits.
Highlander trait, keep skill focus stealth, and use Swift as Shadows alt racial.
Thematically though - Drow is the perfect choice. It all fits.
