Wanna start splitting hairs with wording? A shadow doesn't kill you, it's strength damage equaling or exceeding your total strength kills you. Since you don't get healed by Breath of Life you still have that damage.

Breath of life just says that if it's been less than a round and you have the HP/con straight, that you're alive again.

Nope. That's not true. Unless you can find me something that says I become an object, I am still a creature. CRB says that a dead creature can't be healed by normal or magical means, so spells with the healing descriptor wouldn't work. That's the explanation that I have, unless something is worded ridiculously somewhere, there is no way I become an object.

Sorry, but if you don't have a wisdom score, you are considered an object.

Actually you're just unconscious, but if that was a joke, I enjoyed it.

I think you are confusing a wisdom score of 0 (unconscious), with NO wisdom score (not a creature). When you die, your scores don't go to zero, they go to "-" as in you don't have that score at all.

EDIT:"Wisdom (Wis)

Wisdom describes a character's willpower, common sense, awareness, and intuition. Wisdom is the most important ability for clerics and druids, and it is also important for paladins and rangers. If you want your character to have acute senses, put a high score in Wisdom. Every creature has a Wisdom score. A character with a Wisdom score of 0 is incapable of rational thought and is unconscious."

I missed that when I read it before, but you understand my confusion.

Do you have anything aside from the save/sr in gentle repose to support that you are in fact an object? This is what the CRB says about objects under the save section.

"(object)
The spell can be cast on objects, which receive saving throws only if they are magical or if they are attended (held, worn, grasped, or the like) by a creature resisting the spell, in which case the object uses the creature's saving throw bonus unless its own bonus is greater. This notation does not mean that a spell can be cast only on objects. Some spells of this sort can be cast on creatures or objects. A magic item's saving throw bonuses are each equal to 2 + 1/2 the item's caster level."

So these things are really 100% the worst thing ever. I want to cry.

Energy damage on a weapon is still energy damage and not weapon damage. I still don't see where attacking a "swarm" with acid splash would target a single creature in the swarm instead of the swarm itself.

In order for your interpretation to work, I am allowed to hold a reach weapon in either hand as long as I have a buckler, BUT as soon as I try to swing with that off hand fauchard my weapon suddenly falls out of my hand or something, or maybe my arm goes limp, I am not sure

Your wrist cramps up from holding too much awesome.

So in the 8ish years that I've been playing tabletops, I have only ever twice played characters that don't spontaneously cast spells, and both of those characters ended up never casting spells (with the exception of me getting rid of a prepared spell for a "cure" spell) I can't understand why people play wizards and witches and stuff instead of sorcerers and clerics instead of oracles. Here is my reasoning.

1) More spells per day, more is better, no brainer.

2) You don't have to pick them in advance, and then realize you destroyed yourself when you're like, "nope... didn't need half my spells I prepared and now I'm stuck with this"

3) Sorcerers get better weapon proficiency, Oracles get cool abilities.

4) You only know the spells you need/want, while I realize that versatility is cool, when you can only cast like 1 or 2 spells of a certain level per day, you pick the best spell of the level and prepare it for all those slots, when I built an oracle I was like "this is awesome, I only know good spells instead of having a list full of things I will never want to prepare ever in my life"

Debate me and make playing a wizard, witch, cleric, or even druid sound like a good idea!
