While I am sure in Home Games this would be a GM Call, but I was wondering how this would work for Pathfinder Society. For a Cavalier or Oracle of Nature, would this let them take the mounts normally limited to Small characters, or would it allow a Small Character to take a Dog (Normally available to Small Characters at 4th when it becomes a Medium Animal).

8 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

So I did a quick check for this but didn't see an anwer.

Trusty Buddy:
..."bypasses DR when used as an improvised weapon." Chronicle Sheet.

Question:
The description does not specify DR/Adamantine, just bypasses DR. As written, it bypasses any DR, even DR/-. Is this right?

What kind of effect is Fox Shape? (d20pfsrd)

The feat itself does not specify. The Flavor text suggests it modifies the Change Shape ability, which is supernatural, but that is not mentioned in the rules section.

As an adjunct to that question. Can a Kitsune apply 'fast shifter' Alternate Racial Trait to Fox Shape?

Fast Shifter (Su): You were born with an innate talent for switching between your natural forms. Using your racial change shape ability is a move action instead of a standard action. This racial trait replaces kitsune magic.

So I have decided to have a bit of fun with a build. I am building a Kitsune Urban Barbarian using the Beast Totem and Elemental Rage lines. I've also decided to use the Fox Form and Swift Change Feats from Kitsune. My Primary equipment purchase will be an Agile Amulet of Mighty Fists.

I know that as a Tiny I will need to take a 5' Step or Attack Of Opportunity to enter an opponents square.

At 4th Level, I will have an 18 Dex, +4 for Rage, +4 Size. My claw attacks will do 1d3+8 and my bite will do 1d3+8 damage, and once per combat I will be able to add 1d6 to all 3 attacks.

My Question is whether the Claws will stack with the Fox Transformation. The Claws don't say they are a polymorph effect, so I wasn't sure.

We know that the Society has control of the front (and possibly back) door into the Hao Jin Tapestry, with it's various landmarks, climates and peoples. At least one scenario deals with people who have been in the Tapestry for some time.

This brings up a question... could someone make a character who's 'Homeland' is actually inside the tapestry?

I was looking for something that would allow an Eidolon to deal damage to a creature attacking it with a natural weapon. The idea is a kitsune with a flame aura.

I have seen mention of Fox Animal Companion and Giant Fox Animal Companion. I was looking at a Kitsune for PFS and was wondering if there were actual stats for a PFS Character, or if I would have to use a Dog or Wolf and 'reskin', which might be a problem with PFS.

I am looking at a Sylvan Sorcerer with both an Animal Companion and a Familiar. I am just curious as to whether the following Feat Progression would allow it.

1 - Skill Focus - Knowledge Nature
3 - Boon Companion - Animal Companion
5 - Eldrich Heritage - Arcane Heritage, Familiar
7 - Improved Familiar

The reason I am looking at Sylvan instead of Fey is that I'm not a big fan of the Fey Core Bloodline, and having my Gnome riding a Wolf or Cat amuses me.

Just played in an enjoyable run through of Severing Ties last night. However over the next couple weeks I will be running Shadow's Last Stand Parts 1 and 2 for several of the same characters.

SLS pt 2

Spoiler:
The person you are trying to take down is a Shadow Lodge leader known as 'The Spider'. At the end you expose the Spider, and possibly kill her. During the adventure they receive a letter with her signature.

Severing Ties

Spoiler:
A letter that the players recieve as part of their undercover as Aspis Agents. The letter has the same signature.

Now, for running a Season 2 module in the current environment, I had been looking at listing the villains as 'Renegade' Shadow Lodge members, but I was wondering if I should....

Spoiler:
Work it out to be an Aspis Plot to sow disention between the Shadow Lodge and the rest of the Society.

I am making a Half-Elven Zen Archer raised by Idylkin. I decided to have the character take Arcane Training instead of Multi-Talented. Since I have a 10 (Or less) in both Int and Cha, I was considering using Empyreal Sorcerer as my Bloodline. This fits with the Agathon Blooded I think

The question is this. Do I define the character's Bloodline before taking a level in the class, since the Bloodline affects which stat I am using for casting? Or am I stuck with crappy stats trying to use Scrolls and Wands until I take a level in the class?

Turtle Style

Spoiler:
Benefit: While using the Snapping Turtle Style feat with at least one hand free, you gain a +1 shield bonus to AC.

If I am playing a Zen archer, would I be considered to have my Hand Free that fires the arrows when it's not my initiative?

I was recently looking at running an Inquisitor in a Dragon Empires campaign, and was wondering if there was a listing somewhere of the Inquisitions available to the Gods of that setting. I know I can speak to my GM and he'll be the final arbitrator, but was hoping to see if there'd been a list put up.

Thanks all.

Tried doing a search for this and didn't see it.

When a Tengu fights Two Weapon Style, does his Beak attack suffer the Two Weapon Fighting Penalties that are assigned to the Primary Attack in addition to the usual -5 for Secondary?

Example.

1st Level Tengu Fighter, 16 STR, 2-Bladed Sword, Two Weapon Fighting Feat.

Main Hand Attack +2 (+1 BAB, +3 STR, -2 TWF)
Off Hand Attack +2 (+1 BAB, +3 STR, -2 TWF)

Beak Attack -1 (+1 BAB, +3 STR, -5 Secondary)
/or/
Beak Attack -3 (+1 BAB, +3 STR, -5 Secondary, -2 TWF on Primary Attack)

If you are using one of the 3 alternate Elemental lists, can you take Elemental Focus for the spells on your list?

Would this be a house rule, or something that could be used in PFS?

Liberty's Edge 1/5

Ended up with a wierd combination while looking at a Tattooed Sorcerer Archetype.

The Archetype gives a Familiar at 1st level (Any).
The Bloodline gives a Familiar at 3rd level (Viper at CL-2).

How would this interact?

I tried doing a search, but didn't see this. Sorry if I missed it.

Can a Monk other than a Many Style Monk take Style Feats as their bonus feats?

Grand Lodge

If I have a character with Light Fortification (25%) on his Armor and Medium Fortification on his shield (50%) how do the two abilities interact.

Some possibilities

A) Treated as 75% Fortification (I hope not, since that means you could have 100% fortification with two mediums).

B) Treated as 50% Fortification, ignoring the light completely.

C) Treated as seperate, rolling once for 50%, and once for 25%.
