2-21 Dalsine Affair *Possible Spoilers*

I hope that was clear enough.

I think so! But to make sure I have it down now, the high tier attack sequence would like like this?

Spoiler:

1) Spellstrike + Spell Combat spell delivery through rapier
2) Full BAB attack with rapier
3) Full BAB attack with rapier (from haste)
4) Iterative attack with rapier (-5)

Is this correct?

The magus has 2 attacks when casting a spell, both at a -2 to hit. Say if you cast Shocking Grasp, you get to deliver it with your rapier. You still have to hit normal AC (if they have metal armor, you get +3 to hit), but the spell isn't discharged until you hit.

So when it's talking about delivering multiple hits, it's just suggesting that if you have a spell already applied to your weapon, your full-round action looks like: Attack with Rapier (delivers applied spell, effectively 1d6 damage + X from applied spell), then Attack from off-hand spell being cast as if Two-Weapon Fighting (per spell combat)?

I have a question about the final encounter with the magus.

Spoiler:

In his statblock, it states

"Chalfon attempts to use his spell combat and
spellstrike abilities each round, making two melee attacks
with his rapier, each at a –2 penalty, and channeling a touch
attack through one of the two attacks."

On my first read-through, it sounds like he effectively has three attacks, even in the low tier: two melee attacks with the rapier, AND the damage from the spell being channeled from the spellstrike ability. I know from the magus abilities that there is no additional role associated with delivering the spell through the weapon, but I still can't seem to find a reason why there would be two melee attacks.

Is this correct? Or is it just questionably worded, and actually means two melee attacks, one being the rapier and one effectively being the melee touch attack from the spell? Because 3 attacks in low tier against potentially 1st level characters sounds like an almost guaranteed kill to me. I want to make sure I'm interpreting it correctly.

One hell of a morning has turned into a ***** of a day. Thanks Paizo.
Unarmed Fighter question: New to pathfinder society

I can go ahead and answer your traits question. You'll probably be hard-pressed to find a list of "PFS legal traits", but if you just search through sources looking for ones you like, then cross reference them against the Additional Resources list, you should be good to go.

The Occult Adventures iconic pregens were just released (woohoo!). Have you playtested all of them yourself? Which is your favorite?

One of the pregen characters is a child. Are the limitations on character age for PFS play being considered for removal, or is that iconic character likely to just remain an exception to the rule?
Greater Feint

Any chance of an official stance on Greater Feint? Read the whole thread and I'm still confused (perhaps even more so, now...)
Good hard science fiction authors

You may have noticed me mentioning it many times before on these boards, and you probably at least considered reading it in the past, but one of my favorites is Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke, which adheres to the laws of nature and creates a strong sense of awe.

I'll second the Arthur C. Clarke recommendation. His background is physics first and writing second, though, so some of the material can come off as a little dry. But the worlds he creates are just incredibly intricate and interesting to delve into.

If you are going to pick up some of his books, look not just for things he's written, but books he has partnered on. The aforementioned Rendezvous with Rama is a great example of the kind of details and science he brings to the table, but its followups (like Rama II and Garden of Rama) are better written due in large part to his partnership with Gentry Lee.
Blog: "This is My Last Transmission, My Friend. Be Careful..."

Gotcha. Thanks for the information. I guess I understand why it's happening. I just hope that 3rd party sellers don't push prices up too high as a result. I can't afford all the products I want right now and will probably miss this order window for some stuff. Hehe.
Blog: "This is My Last Transmission, My Friend. Be Careful..."

I'm confused. Does this mean that these products are all going out of print? With some of the older material sure, to free up warehouse space, but some of this stuff is fairly new. Does this mean Paizo is looking to go entirely digital in the near future?
