Excellent point of course. Nothing to do with what I'm asking. But excellent point nonetheless. That does beg the question, "How did that paladin get that ability?" An evil deity trying to rob the paladin of morality. Making said paladin an anti paladin. Some kind of star wars esque welcome to the dark side. That definitely takes me off topic.

Seriously though, anyone know anything please post. With a link to source like Belafon did. Excellent find I must say.


Imbue with aura is a good one. Yes, I want that effect, actually making them evil or for duration of ability or spell, other abilities function as if target were evil. Such that a paladin's smite would work, for example. Not that I want a paladin to make people evil, just an example of what I mean by make target evil.


Exactly as subject implies, looking for a spell, Su, or Ex(anything really) that makes target evil, shifts alignment negatively, or changes target to opposite alignment. Paizo only contenet. If applicable link yo source. Thanks so much in advance.


What does Level-variable effects mean? Specifically.

http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateMagic/ultimateMagicFeats.html#_s pell-specialization

Benefit: Select one spell of a school for which you have taken the Spell Focus feat. Treat your caster level as being two higher for all level-variable effects of the spell.
Every time you gain an even level in the spellcasting class you chose your spell from, you can choose a new spell to replace the spell selected with this feat, and that spell becomes your specialized spell.

Can it apply to Scorching Ray? Which changes rays(keeps 4d6 per ray) at 3rd, 7th and 11th?

Could it apply to Hold Person? Which increases how many rounds one can be held.

Also:

Iron Limb Defense (Ex): At 5th level, a monk of the sacred mountain can deflect blows with an active defense that complements his bastion stance. If the monk starts and ends his turn in the same space, he gains a +2 shield bonus to AC and CMD until the start of his next turn. As a swift action, he can spend 1 ki point to increase this bonus to +4. This ability replaces high jump.

Does that shield bonus apply to Touch AC as well? I know there is a style feat chain that gets a shield bonus to apply to touch. Just trying to verify if this is all around AC and CMD(including touch) or if it just Basic ACs and CMD(excluding touch).

Can a Raging Barbarian ready an action? Not just to hit the first thing that moves. A Barbarian that is raging, not an urban that is in a controlled rage but a standard, and surrounded by enemies readies an action to attack a spell caster after the summons vanish. Could a Raging Barbarian do that?

I'm inclined to believe that the Raging Barbarian would have to attack things around him that are enemies. As opposed to plan things out and ready an action to move after summons vanish so he can threaten and get AoOs if the spell caster does not cast defensively.

Yes.

What qualifies as 'patience' in the game? Barbarians, unless they possess a feat or ability, cannot enact on things that require concentration or patience while raging. What qualifies as having patience? I feel that planning in combat, has some degree of patience. What degree of patience prevents a Barbarian from acting upon that action if said Barbarian is raging?

Thank you for the clarification. I was asking because the shadowdancer is using a supernatural ability to hide(Not the spell invisibility or anything). Seems kind of like there is no point to hiding from that wizard who can see me, since they are just going to blast me with AoEs. So why worry about miss chance. :( Oh well, can't win them all.

Okay, new question. The Tarrasque is immune to permanent wounds. Is ability Drain a permanent wound(permanent ability damage)? What qualifies as a permanent wound? My players are asking me and I honestly don't know. :(

Does Arcane Sight automatically see the magical auras of items and/or effects on someone using Hide in Plains Sight? Shadowdancer ability. I don't know where to ask this, never really 'used' this site before.

Example: Bead of Karma activated and the fly spell ongoing on the shadowdancer. Can a wizard using arcane sight see this person's items and spell effects magical auras?

Assuming the perception check of the Arcane Sight user, does not beat the stealth of the Hide in Plain Sight user.

This is a repost. It didn't merit attention before. Hopefully, this time around. Great job answering posts. Great on voting in your state!

You'll know that auras are there but you still have to make a Perception check to see the guy with the auras. It's like suddenly smelling dog poop in the park but not being able to see where the smell is coming from. It's right there, you can sense it with one sense, but you need to look harder in order to pinpoint the exact locaiton.

So, he will know the exact square I am in? Or no? Like, a bat knows the exact square I would be in with their blindsense but not "how" I am in that square? The dog poop thing, he wouldn't know what square I am in, just that the auras and myself are somewhere nearby. Is that right?

Their understanding is that, because he has arcane sight on, he knows the exact square I am in but still has a 50 percent miss chance vs me. Which I think is kind of overpowered for a 2nd level spell. But I needed some clarification and the Rules FAQ thread(I found it after asking you) isn't clear. People are wishy washy over what it does.
