What Are Some of Your Coolest Tricks?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Hey everyone. While I'm not sure if a thread like this exists yet or not, I kinda felt compelled to start one anyway. Basically the goal of this particular thread is to showcase some really neat tricks that players have pulled off during their Pathfinder games. I'm not really asking for anyting game-breaking or cheesey, although if you'd like to list those things, that's perfectly fine as well. All I'm asking for is just some cool ideas/discoveries/or interactions that you guys have utilized during some of your campaigns.

And so, with that in mind, allow me to start:

Philter of Love + Syringe Spear = Instant lovey dovey

Rod of Security = Immortality in a can

Iressistable Dance + Quickened Icy Prison = Popsicle Express

Fate's Favored + Stone of Good Luck = Winning

Ablative Barrier + Mummification = Free DR without having DR

Like I said before, feel free to jot down whatever you like: maybe you've discovered a cool item that very few people use, or perhaps you've found a great interaction between two particular spells. Whatever it might be, go ahead and list it, for I'm sure their are many in the community (myself included) who are eager to hear about some of the coolest pathfinder tricks that can be found inside the game. Thanks again.

**Please note, things like bribing the GM with Candy and Beer does NOT qualify as a Pathfinder Trick...just sayin' ;)


Not magic, but candles... There are endless uses for candles.


keg of black powder + campfire bead = fighter showing a wizard he's not the only one that can cause massive fireballs on command.

Bubble Vaults + Pure Sodium (or anything that reacts very negatively with water) + stealthed Gripplis with blowguns/underwater Xbows = Why you dont invade rich Grippli nations that have powerful Alchemists.

A quiver of arrows with notes of heightened explosive runes attached to each + A ranger friend + Greater Dispel Magic (20ft radius area), do whatever you can to raise the caster level on the runes, then try (and fail) to dispel them. BOOM.

One of my GM's is always VERY reluctant to give me wondrous items worth less than 3000 gold. The things I can do with feather tokens and campfire beads.
