Up Up Down Down
Thanks for nothing.
Meh, if you had an hour to receive the answer before you crashed, you must have been experiencing Zeno's Paradox or something.
You seem to be assuming that I was already moving. I finished inputting the flight coordinates per your suggestion, pressed"engage""launch", and WHAM! Lightspeed crash. :(
Well if you did the Konami Code correctly, you should have had infinite lives. Which I guess you did, since you're still here posting after a lightspeed crash :P

I DO NOT REQUIRE THE KONAMI CODE
HI Mark are you working on the Giant Slayer Handbook? I have seen some of the feats that subscribers have teased none seem to be very dwarf centric. Perhaps you could suggest some feats to the guys designing the Giant AP
Foot Smasher requirement race dwarf bab +3. on a strike vs. a giant type the giant or giant kin takes normal damage and has movement reduced by 1/2.
Knee breaker: Requirement Dwarf bab +5. On a successful strike the giant or giant kin is knocked to the ground and cannot get back up until he is healed an amount of damage equal to the damage dealt.
the above are a couple of ideas.
The design team doesn't have a hand in Player Companions, with minor exceptions, and GSH is already out, so no one is working on it any more. In any case, your feats seem highly punitive to giants, so I wouldn't recommend allowing them in your game unless you want giants to just lose right away. It seems like a dwarf with kneebreaker and a ranged weapon could probably cause an entire tribe of giants to die of thirst if the giants didn't have a healer.
Does Brawler's Flurry count as as Flurry of Blows for the feat Feral Combat Training? A brawler does count as a monk for feats and can use monk weapon during a flurry but doesn't have the class feature.
It doesn't include text to say it counts as flurry of blows, so it doesn't on its own. If you feel like changing it for your home game, though, no reason you couldn't.
Can you make a dc 25 handle animal check to make any animal do any trick you want, or does the animal need to at least be indifferent to you

You're the Design Team guy, not me, but as written you shouldn't even need Feral Combat Training to use your natural weapons during a brawler's flurry because brawler's flurry is a full attack action as opposed to flurry of blows, which is a full-round action.
The difference is important because the rules already say that you can use your natural weapons during a full attack action, whereas you can't use your natural weapons during a flurry of blows because A) flurry of blows says that you normally can't and B) flurry of blows isn't an attack or full attack action, so the rules for attacking don't apply to a flurry of blows unless the class feature says they do.
Feral Combat Training's other purpose, to allow natural attacks to function off of unarmed strike abilities, still works peachy for the brawler, however!

A brawler with natural weapons can't use such weapons as part of brawler's flurry, nor can she make natural weapon attacks in addition to her brawler's flurry attacks.
Back again. This thread is like AM / PM, too much good stuff.
What is the official stance on leveling in Pathfinder? Does it require some off-camera training or do you level as soon as you are awarded the xp. I say "awarded" meaning when the GM decides to assign the xp to your character, not necessary when you earned it.
I haven't seen any official training costs or timings (though perhaps I missed them), so presumably it happens without those by default. In general, I award XP after a good night's sleep and require a good night's sleep to level up, in no small part because leveling while partway through a day is a huge pain.
Magic Items, Wearers, and Durations: If a magic item grants an effect with a duration to the wearer, can I put it on, activate the effect, take it off, and keep the effect active?
No, as soon as you remove an item that grants an effect to the wearer, you are no longer the wearer, so any remaining duration immediately expires. The same is true if the item affects the owner, wielder, and so on. If the item's effect does not specify the recipient as the wearer (or owner, wielder, etc), then unless it says otherwise, it remains when the item is removed.

Don't get your hopes up, but there may be more than one, including at least one I think may have a nice splash.
Mark, approximately how exciting is it to be behind the scenes of RPG Superstar for the first time? (Remember to define your units in your answer.)
I will calibrate with the assumption that since we were both Marathon Voter 2013 and then Star(close to dedicated)/Dedicated 2014 that we had a similar experience with voting.
Having said that, it's like voting except you only have to look at bad items once, you get to explain what's bad to help that entrant out, and then you have more sway, so you don't get to the Top 32 and say "Blargh! That was the item that is really bad for the game and was on my Auto-Reject list below the badly-formatted ones." So all-in-all, it's like a much more fun version of voting! :)

Hey, the website was down and stuff!
But now...Happy Holidays to you all!
Hey, double-whammy! Nice!
Well, I said there might be more than one :D
If you've seen the Legend of Korra series finale, what's your opinion of it, and the show as a whole? In a spoiler, please, for the sake of others.
@ Mark Seifter The strict wording of the Pummeling Style feat suggests that a flurry ability is an alternate requirement to the +6 BAB instead of an additional requirement Allowing players to take a level of Sacred Fist at first level and taking the feat then taking Master of Many Styles at second level and taking Pummeling Charge. Is that legal?

Or they could take MoMS at first level and select Pummeling Style as his bonus feat and then take MoMS at second level and select Pummeling Charge as his bonus feat. Both are legal options.
Yes but I want to know if the method I mentioned is legal. I know more then one person has taken Pummeling Style as a level Sacred Fist.
Mr. Mark Seifter,
Did you do that post mortem for your occult classes? If so where were they posted?
Mr. Mark Seifter,
Did you do that post mortem for your occult classes? If so where were they posted?
Do keep in mind that these are ideas that Mark would like to implement, but nothing is a sure thing. The 'playtest meeting' as far as I know, hadn't been held at that point due to Red Tape. Don't take anything in the post mortem as a promise or a fact that it will be implemented, because it might be changed at a later date or dropped all-together.
Thanks.
Nothing for the Medium?
Medium Postmortem. Same disclaimers apply.Thanks.

Thank you.
Mark, has the first round of RPG SS eaten up more or less time than you expected so far?

Hi Mark. I am currently making a PRC that combines a Blade Bound Magus with an arcanist. They get a black blade and arcane exploits and +2 to their arcane pool but no increase in there spell casting ability.
I would like them to be able to use 2 handed black blades but am stumped in how to make a balance mechanic to do this could you give me some ideas?
You and the rest of the Pazio staff have a happy new year.

Can a summoner cast Enlarge Person on his Eidolon?
Share Spells (Ex): The summoner may cast a spell with a target of “you” on his eidolon (as a spell with a range of touch) instead of on himself. A summoner may cast spells on his eidolon even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the eidolon's type (outsider). Spells cast in this way must come from the summoner spell list. This ability does not allow the eidolon to share abilities that are not spells, even if they function like spells.
There seems to be confusion about whether the second sentence labors underneath the first sentence's restriction (the spell must have a target of 'you').

Hi Mark,
I can't seem to figure out for sure whether slippers of spider climbing are command word or use-activated; I'm leaning toward use-activated (i.e., as soon as you put your foot on the wall, the timer starts ticking), based on the text leading off with "when worn" and saying nothing about activation, but I'm not 100% sure. Any insights?
Hi Mark, here's another pile of happy little rules questions.
You may wonder why I'm asking you these (in addition to posting in the real rules forum): it's because my 'occasionally every other Thursday' times to actually play Pathfinder are with your old PFS crew in Boston. I figure asking you first will probably be better than trying to hash it out at a table where the slot is 3.5 hours anyway. I don't really know if your take is given any weight there, but it doesn't hurt to assume that.
Dumb questions about the decoy ring
1. Do you get invisibility as the spell, or regular old invisibility? i.e, does it pop when you attack or not?
2. Can you tell your illusionary duplicates to do anything specific with their three rounds of life? (maybe stay in the same square and act like a mirror image, maybe turn around after one round and make *pshht* *pshht* noises like they're firing arrows, whatever)
3. Is it one save to disbelieve the duplicates, or four?
4. This one is for figments in general: how do they bluff? Let's say one gets shot with an arrow (or four decoys acting like a mirror image where one gets shot). If you're concentrating on it, do you make a Bluff check for acting? A Stealth check to stay in front of the arrow (which is somewhere else)? If you're not concentrating on it, do you get any check at all?
5. Can you do a withdraw action out of combat? Like: act like Snagglepuss all the time. 'Exit stage left, even!' Could you instruct your illusionary duplicates to have a foot race in the direction you came from (so as not to tip off anything in front of you)?
OK guys, I'm back and recovering from my trip, so I'm going to start answering stuff.
@decoy ring: I hadn't paid close attention to this item, but it looks really poorly written.
1) Mislead grants greater invisibility, and it just says the condition invisible, so there's some evidence that it may be greater, but the price is bonkers for at-will 3 round mislead
2) Doesn't seem like you can instruct them specifically, though again, it's a poorly-worded item, and it's unclear if they even make noise.
3)Presumably if you interact or study with an image, you get a save, but you're right that it's ambiguous.
4) For not this ring, the way I do it is that the figment attempts to react normally, but it grants a Will save for interacting since it can't do so seamlessly.
5)Presumably you could withdraw whenever you feel like it. Maybe an invisible enemy is threatening that square.
Some effects that entangle (such as the warpriest's minor plant blessing) aren't very specific about speed penalties. Should we treat them as halving speed or immobilizing foes?
The entangled condition doesn't immobilize unless stated otherwise, generally when there is a solid tether connecting the victim to the ground, a wall, etc.
