Does the Dervish Dance feat not apply to a scimitar Black Blade, or it is a Hero Lab bug? I configured a Magus with that feat and weapon, as well as a regular scimitar. It give me the correct bonus to hit with both, except it does not give me the damage bonus with the Black Blade, only the normal scimitar. Thoughts?
I'm creating a 6th level eidolon. It says that the max number attacks is 4, NOT including any weapons it may possess. So if I want to create a biped with claws, how would I configure it to utilize it to have the maximum number of attacks? I'm trying to create a genie type of eidolon. Based on what I read I get 2 claws automatically, so that's 2 attacks. If i take bite that's another. If I want a 4th I would have to include a tail or gore? What about if I get 2 more arms? Could I place a weapon in one and get a 5th attack? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
If I'd like to create a half-vampire race; do I need to take the Half-Undead custom racial quality, or can I use the custom racial traits to build it? I have a 11pt build, so I can use my points more effectively mixing and matching rather than taking the half-undead which is worth 5 points. Thoughts? Thanks.
I'm using the Advance Race Guide to create a race, but I'm not sure what the difference is between the two. They seem the same other than the wording. But either way as long as you're in the area you get effected. One is worth -1 point and the other is -2poits. Can you take both and would they stack? In Her Lab it allows you to take both. Thoughts? Thanks.
How do you heal the 'vulnerable to sunlight' racial trait, which gives me a -1 to CON every hour Im exposed? Will resting do that, or only a restoration spell will repair that damage? Thanks.
I'm a 7th level ninja in the Legacy of Fire campaign setting. My family background is selling of exotic slaves in Katapesh, and I choose to set up a merchant shop selling them as well in Kelmarine at the end of book one. A quick background of the cohort is that she's a slave that I rescued (bought), and my family and me treated her well. I've grown fond of her over the years, and we developed a romantic relationship. So she's in essence my own personal slave. She rose up in our merchant shop and became a mistress, managing and training all the slaves we own. Now she wants to adventure forth and see the world at my side. I created her as a 5th level bard, focused on dance and using a bladed scarf as a weapon. So she has spells, skills and abilities that fit the slave theme very well. Our GM doesn't like the idea of having a slave as a cohort. He says it's a "hero" NPC, and the slave mentality wouldn't fit. I'd play her fairly; she would entertain us with her dancing and cooking, but I would never order her to do anything that seemed demeaning or morally questionable, especially since I do have that romantic relationship established. What are you thoughts?
If Im playing an armored rouge with Major Magic and I choose Shield, do I get a Arcane Spell Failure Chance for wearing the armor? Thanks!
If you play a half-elf, do you automatically gain proficiency with the Curved Elven Blade since I'm partial elf? Hero Lab is saying that I do, so I don't need the exotic weapon proficiency, but I wanted to run the rules by the experts. ;) Thanks!
We're going to be starting a Legacy of Fire Campaign. So I'd like to build a Ninja who specializes in a Scorpion Whip and Shruiken's, focusing on Sneak Attack damage bonuses. Think of the assassins in the Prince of Persia movie. We have a group of 4; a Paladin, Magus, Oracle, and finally me... We have a 20 pt build, so here are my thoughts: Half-Elf
STR-10
The part that I need help with is building a Ninja that will give me the greatest chance of being able to use my Sneak Attack damage bonus. Specializing in the Whip requires quite a few feats, and of course there is Feint as well as Trip and Disarm. I'm use to playing fighter types that do a ton a damage every turn, so I'd like to do something similar with a Ninja so I dont get frustrated with trying something new. Thoughts or advice?
Whip Definition "The whip is treated as a melee weapon with 15-foot reach, though you don't threaten the area into which you can make an attack. In addition, unlike most other weapons with reach, you can use it against foes anywhere within your reach (including adjacent foes). Using a whip provokes an attack of opportunity, just as if you had used a ranged weapon." --- I wanted to make a ninja and use the scorpion whip. Can you use sneak attack with it?
We're starting the Legacy of Fire campaign soon, and its to heavily revolve around Genie's and the "Persian" theme. I don't know all the archetypes of the various classes, so I was looking for advice about what to play that would incorporate the Suli race, and have some sort of "elemental" feel within this setting. I prefer more of a warrior type, thinking about using a Curved Elven Blade two handed, with Keen eventually added to it. We get 25 points for attribute dispersion. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Im confused as to what this addition to a weapon does. So it gives it a +1, lasts 1 round per D6 of channel energy, counts as good and silver for damage reduction, but how much damage does it actually do? It says a D6 but then it talks about the flame strike spell... Thoughts?
Im a follower of Sarenrae, so I was thinking about the Scimitar with Keen, giving me a 15-20 x2 critical, plus Flame of the Dawn Flower trait giving me an additional 2 points of damage when the crit is a success. Or what about a Bastard Sword with Keen, 17-20 critical? Granted it needs the exotic weapon feat to use it one handed. Im playing a level 8 character, Cleric/Holy Vindicator with plate and a shield. My attributes are as follows:
Thoughts?
If I get the Exotic Weapon Proficiency Feat and choose Sawtooth Sabre, can I also gain the benefit of using Weapon Finesse for it? Herolab is giving me my DEX bonus to hit with using that weapon. My GM says that's incorrect, I can only gain the benefit of it being a "light" weapon for Two Hand Fighting thanks to the Exotic Feat. The Weapon Finesse Feat should not apply. Thoughts?
Right now I'm playing a cleric to help heal the party, but I'd like to focus more on melee and be in the front lines. Should I multi-class with a Paladin, and then grab some Holy Avenger? Im playing a Damphir, level 3 Cleric. My focused domain is Fire. My stats are: 16 STR, 12 DEX, 10 CON, 8 INT, 14 WIS, 16 CHA. I have Extra Channeling and Selective Channeling for my feats. I'm using a Scimitar which will eventually have Keen, giving me a 15-20 critical. I also have Flame of The Dawnflower trait giving me a +2 dam to any critical hits with a Scimitar. I'm also using a shield and eventually I'll be wearing full plate. Suggestions? Thanks!
Do the D6's stack when multi-classing between a Paladin and a Cleric? I'm also under the impression that number of times you're allowed to use Channel Energy needs to be tracked separately. Thanks!
"A vindicator can channel energy into his shield as a standard action; when worn, the shield gives the vindicator a sacred bonus (if positive energy) or profane bonus (if negative energy) to his Armor Class equal to the number of dice of the vindicator’s channel energy. This bonus lasts for 24 hours or until the vindicator is struck in combat, whichever comes first. The shield does not provide this bonus to any other wielder, but the vindicator does not need to be holding the shield for it to retain this power." If I understand this correctly; I need to be using the shield to get the benefit, correct? So if I were to wield a two-handed sword, I couldn't cast it on a buckler and get the Vindicator's bonus while attacking with a greatsword...
Cleric - 7th level STR 10
Parade Armor
Weapon Finesse
Aldori Dueling Sword My BAB is a +5. When I add the sword in HeroLab it gives me a +9 which is correct, but as soon as I add the shield it drops to a +7. What am I missing?
I'm new to the whole cleric class and I would like your help building a Dhampir cleric at level 1 that focuses on melee. I have a 20 pt build, and the race gives you a +2 Dex, +2 Cha and -2 Con. They also get healed by negative energy. Since I need to be an ally of the party, I was going to go with a neutral alignment. Our party is going to consist of 4-5 players, so I need to take that into account for Channeling Energy. As of now there isn't any other healers. I was also thinking about going the Holy Vindicator route as my prestige at 8th level. Until then, here is what I was thinking: Diety: Gorum Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Attributes:
Feat(s): Selective Channeling Traits:
Weapons: Greatsword Armor: Breastplate Domains:
Domain Spell:
Spells:
Cure Light Wounds
What does everyone think? Can I choose negative for Channel Energy, and positive for all my cure light wounds? I have to think about how I'm going to heal myself, but also how to heal the party. And what about using a shield when moving forward since the Holy Vindicator gets Vindicator's Shield? Maybe drop a two handed weapon and go for a sword/shield combo, or keep it and get a Buckler when I'm 8th level and take a -1 to hit. Any thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated!
Is there a FREE way to find out about the Red Mantis Assassin prestige, or do I need to buy a pdf? I don't mind spending a couple of dollars, just not $14+ to find out more about it... Thanks!
"This +3 scimitar, when used outdoors in a temperate climate, grants its wielder the use of the Cleave feat and deals an extra 1d6 points of damage. " Does it mean that the extra 1d6 point of damage is ONLY applied when you cleave, or is it a 2D6 weapon? Also, is appears that it gives you the Cleave feat for free. If you wanted to get Greater Cleave, do you still need to get Power Attack or will this weapon allow you to forgo that feat also? Thanks!
Does anyone know of a good resource to help aid a GM in giving out XP, such as a table or calculator? The book isn't very specific, so maybe someone has some good resources that they use... Thanks!
I want to take the Two Weapon fighting feat and Weapon Finesse; using an Elven Curved Blade in one hand, and a light weapon in the other. Is it possible? If so, what would be the penalties and would I be able to take advantage of Weapon Finesse as well? I'm playing a Rogue/Assassin with a Dex of 20 and a Strength of 16... Thanks!
I want to play a Fighter/Dragon Disciple; someone in the front lines of combat. My thought is to take 3 levels in Fighter, and 1 level in sorcerer and then start the prestige. Armor Class
Granted at that time I would have a 25% chance of spell failure, and the Shield spell only lasts 2 minutes. But as I progress levels the spell duration will go up thanks to the prestige ability, and the spell failure chance will go down thanks to the Arcane Armor feat. Attack
What does everyone think? Any other possibilities?
In the book/on the SRD it says this:
I want to get to the Dragon Disciple prestige class as soon as I can. So I'm leveling as a fighter, and taking only one level as a sorcerer. I'm assuming each level is considered a hit dice, which would mean I can start the prestige at 6th level. But when I was playing around with Hero Lab, it allowed me to start it at 5th level though. Or maybe the reason is because I can put a rank in Arcana in 5th level which would give me 5 ranks, so I can take the prestige also... Any thoughts? Thanks! |
