Thank you for this response. I really do appreciate it. I can perfectly understand the houserule due to the lack of rules available, and it makes sense as to why that was done that way. Most of the other players were being rules lawyers and arguing the fact. More so because there was confusion and it wasn't clarified that he made it a houserule. What should have been summoned was a Dolphin that had Blindsight.
Recently, our group was playing the second part of the Hell's Rebel campaign, and came across a bit of a confusing moment when fighting a Devilfish( http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/bestiary2/devilfish.html ) The Devilfish used it's Unholy Blood ability, giving it total concealment. It then attacked and grappled Player A, pulling them into the concealment with it. Player B and a summoned shark came in to attack it. Shark( http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/bestiary/shark.html )Note: The shark has blindsense. The question is this: With the 50% miss chance of total concealment, and the grapple of the player, how would attacks to the creature work? Should there be a 50% chance to hit the player grappled, or is it just the 50% chance to hit the creature as normal?

My issue with how that is worded is mostly because Mounted Archer is a level 4 ability. It makes me think that it is supposed to come in then, and not at 3.
I know it has been asked many times before, but I am asking it again. Why does it seem that the "Sword Saint" archetype has typos? "Brutal Slash" does not seem to be written correctly in the
If there isn't going to be an errata, we need an explanation as to why this is set this way, and where we can verify that.

Well, that is what I was weighing out. Using the Inquisitor(Kinslayer) for all of the Holy(ish) damage they can do. The issue is the slow progression of their Base Attack Bonus as well as HP. The Ranger(Corpse Hunter) has the issue of not having all of that divine power backing him up whilst also not having access to all the spells to assist. It's hard to figure out who will be better in a fight as they both have low hitpoints as well as advantages and disadvantages to both. I realize that's with all classes, races, and characters. That's why I put up this discussion. It's been difficult trying to figure out which is best in a fighting capacity, even if it is Guerrilla-Type tactics of running in and out of battle, or should I be in the rear, helping everyone out?
I have figured that he will have Ranger-Corpse Hunter and/or Inquisitor-Kinslayer Looking for Melee. I realize I loose out a little with either, but the advantages of the Dhampir outweigh some of that; Darkvision, Low-Light Vision, Detect Undead 3/day, Manipulative, Resist Level Drain, and Undead Resistance. My Weapon is all set up for the moment - +1 Undead-Bane, Keen, Elysian Bronze Nodachi. I suppose my biggest issues is what levels I should take into what class and what feats to go along with it. Quick death, or hard battle. Those are the two I've been thinking about so far.
Looking to Build a "D" like character. Like him, he is smart, great at Melee, and knows his way around a graveyard. Vampires, Undead, and Demons alike should fall by his hand. So, that being said, Here are the parameters: Starting Level: 10
Books Available: Advanced Class Guide
Optimal Build is what I am looking for. All Archetypes are available as well. I'm only asking this because I have been struggling and toiling over this build for quite a while. Every time, I find something new and I just have to include it. I really appreciate any help at all. All of the discussions I look up on this are ages old and the new books that I have were not included. Thank you! |
