A Few Pathfinder Questions


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


1 person marked this as a favorite.

1. What is the proper pronunciation of the following words?

Magus
Magi
Arcana
Arcanist

2. If a Construct has a vulnerability, does the energy damage it is vulnerable to bypass Damage Reduction OR is it affected by the Construct's Hardness score? Does the energy damage get halved like normal?

3. As a Magus that focuses on making his Magus Arcana Pool Strike very effective, what should you do?

4. Does drawing something from the bandolier provoke attacks of opportunity?

5. If a character has "Overrun," can the character overrun a Party Member to charge an opponent?

6. Does a Touch Spell without a duration Discharge if you attack and miss with it? For instance, a Magus, using Spell Combat when he attacks with his Melee Weapon and Shocking Grasp misses with Shocking Grasp, can he HOLD the charge until next round?

7. What are "Rift Boots?" They are referenced in a game module entitled Iron Gods, The Choking Tower, but they don't list what they are.

I can answer the first one for you - I'll let the more rules savey work on the others

Most of these are real world words and therefore pronounciation can be found on dictionary websites (you may want to right click and 'open in new window):

Magus Audio from MERRIAM-WEBSTER dictionary site
Magi Audio from MERRIAM-WEBSTER dictionary site
Arcana Audio from MERRIAM-WEBSTER dictionary site

Arcanist - This one is not on m-w.com I have heard it as both (ar-CAN-ist) and (ARC-an-ist)

Per this post It looks like rift boots were a tech item that was cut, but was accidently left on the stat block/description.

1) May-gus, May-dji, Are-car-na, Are-cun-ist.

2) DR and hardness ignore some damage, then vulnerability increases what's left by 50%. No, it's not clear.

3) Find a magus optimisation guide and follow it. I don't know the magus very well.

4) Yes.

5) Yeeeeees. Bit weird, since you can freely move through allies, but not charge through them. Good idea.

6) No/Yes. You asked the same question two ways.

7) Dunno, don't have the book. Probably in it, or another part of Iron Gods, though. If not, they're not in the PRD, d20pfsrd or Archives of Nethys, so... dunno.

Edited for pronunciation clarity, other accents may vary.

Also, flagging for wrong forum. This thread isn't about Paizo.
