Ok I'm in an epic campaign and am curious about something. I am playing a mithral metal-clad obitu (yes a mithral, living skeleton) as per the metal-clad template. However I am well aware that mithral also has a hardness of 15.

As per these rules would my character also factor in his hardness with regards to reducing damage taken from normal melee sources (say 20 damage vs. my 15 hardness= 5 HP damage). In addition to energy damage being halved from the section on energy damage?

It's just that the template never mentions hardness

Ok I've been bouncing an idea around for awhile and wanted advice.

I've always loved playing non core races ranging from wyvaran to obitu. And I had an idea, a kingmaker campaign where the party could only be non core races and the entire campaign would be based around creating a haven for such creatures and building a society around the unique interactions internally and of course the conflict externally (because what society wouldn't find that worrying?). And how the formation of such a place would effect and fit into the pathfinder world. I don't have DM experience and would honestly like to be a player in this and was curious what I could possibly do to cultivate interest in it/catch the eye of people.

So...here's the situation. I am planning on crafting a weapon for my tiny Rakshasa, Raktavarna who'll be going Mauler, and ergo get the battle form where she grows to Man sized height. I'm giving her arms via familiar evolution so she can hold crossbows. My question is this though. I'm planning on giving her a heavy crossbow for her medium size battle form. Is there any rule, spell, feat, etc. that lets the weapon shrink down with her to deal appropriate damage? Or will she just need to use a light/hand crossbow in her tiny form?

For those wondering why I'd give her a crossbow it's because I'm going 5 levels gunslinger boltace 15 lvls fighter eldritch guardian...soo yeah crossbows and ranged teamwork feats ftw

First time playing a class with a familiar but here's the lowdown.

I'm going to be playing a mobile, stealthy wyvaran ranged dps build

Lvl 1-5 going gunslinger Bolt Ace so specializing in crossbows.
Lvl 6-20 I was thinking of going Eldritch Guardian.

Now here's the kicker. I was thinking of gettin improved familiar when I could and getting a tiny dragon familiar (pending how my character plays either shadow drake, tidepool dragon, or faerie dragon).

The main question is this. Is it possible for one of these tiny dragons to wield a hand crossbow given they would share all my crossbow feats? I know there are familiars with hands but to keep with the dragon theme I wanted to check if I could do this.

Hey all,

I'm playing a wyvaran and was planning on going with the boltace gunslinger for all 20 levels. However I also ran across the crossbowman fighter. Which do you think could be more deadly or would you recommend a multi class of those two?

I was thinking of staying a slinger till I got crossbow mastery and then switch over to the fighter.

For context:
I am playing a wyvaran barbarian and I asked my DM since I am a dragon type with regards to species would I be able to use animal growth instead of enlarge person.

His response was that animals are only creatures with a max INT score of two meanwhile anything higher is considered a magical beast and cannot have animal growth used on them. However he did say since I was humanoid, enlarge person could work instead.

So I am trying to find a way to for lack of a better phrase, "hulk out" by making myself much dumber temporarily for my raging so I could possibly stack animal growth and enlarge person.

(yes I realize this may be broken as hell but it would be a fun thing to whip out just for a BBEG)

So here's what I am going for with this build as some of you may have seen over the past week. A dragon-themed barbarian that will be a pure natural weapon user. Now with the graceful help of you guys below is what I have so far put together.

Invulnerable Rager Barbarian / Eldritch Scrapper Sorcerer / Dragon Disciple

Current build plan
Race: Wyvaran

CL1 Brb1 Raging Vitality
CL2 Brb2 Lesser Draconic Bloodline [2 Claw Attacks]
CL3 Brb3 Improved Initiative
CL4 Brb4 Lesser Fiendish Totem [Gore Attacks]
CL5 Sor1 Extra Rage; Martial Flexibility
CL6 DD1
CL7 DD2 Extra Rage Power - Reckless Abandon; Power Attack
CL8 DD3
CL9 DD4 ???
CL10 DD5 Toughness
CL11 DD6 ???
CL12 DD7

By lvl 12 have

Cloak of Resistance +2 (4,000gp)
Ring of Deflection +2 (8,000gp)
Amulet +3/+2 Furious (54,000gp)
Bracers of Armor
Amulet of Natural Fists (Amulet of Might Fists/Amulet of Natural Armor combined)
+1 Natural Armor - 2000gp
+1 Nat Armor; Furious - 6000gp
+2 Nat Armor; Furious - 12,000gp
+2 Nat Armor; +1 Furious - 24,000gp
+3 Nat Armor; +1 Furious - 34,000gp
+3 Nat Armor; +2 Furious - 54,000gp
+4 Nat Armor; +2 Furious - 68,000gp
+4 Nat Armor; +3 Furious - 96,000gp
+5 Nat Armor; +3 Furious - 114,000gp
+5 Nat Armor; +4 Furious - 150,000gp

maybe
Tentacle Cloack (14,000gp) [2 Tentacle Attacks]

Amulet of Mighty Fists (+4 Furious) so I get a +6 total Enhancement Bonus when Raging so I can get a numerical Enhancement Bonus above +5

So I pose a few questions to you guys.

1. What would you recommend as my starting stat balance keeping in mind wyvarans have +2 Dex, +2 Wis, -2 Int?

2. I was looking at other feats to take and would like input on what level to get them/which to choose from:

-Improved Natural Attack
-Rending Claw Blade (in order to get rend)
-eldritch claws
-penetrating bite
-noxious bite
-penetrating bite
-natural weapon focus
the next few I cannot tell if its even possible to get on wyvaran
-mighty bite
-savage bite
-beartrap bite

3.I'm looking for a possible racial trait from the core rule books my DM will accept that I could get via the adoption method (he won't accept tusked) that would improve my natural weapon capabilities

4. If I'm missing something glaring or you see something that could greatly increase damage output go ahead and let er rip

Hey all so as I said it's my first game (lvls will probably be 1-10) and I was wanting to create a natural weapon based character that eventually starts to look draconic in and out of battle. I know there is the typical method of bloodrage-> DD. For my race I was considering either lizardfolk (permanent claws and bite natural weapons) or nagaji because of the nice racial stats.

I want my version of the DD to be a natural weapon machine that just tears through people and was wondering on advice on how to maximize effectiveness. One of the cool options i found was dipping into slayer in order to get the natural weapon focus skill tree going for a few levels.

Hey all, I've been doing some initial research and am having some difficulty deciding what to do.

So I am trying to create a character that is melee/natural weapon based (really really wanted to try out unarmed but monk didn't seem to work build wise with DD) but is also capable of becoming a dragon disciple.

I have seen a few bloodrager builds but I was wondering if anyone could advise me on a different angle to approach.

The end goal is to use as much of the natural physical dragon weapons such as bite, claws, breath, and tail as possible while fighting. If you think just doing a draconic bloodline would be better, let me know.
