any devs can wade in clarify please

question I have is double slice way I am reading you make both attacks at current multi attack penalty so say you its your 1st set of attacks as long as offhand agile my bonus is +10 normal so I make my rapier/shortsword attacks at +10/+10 my last attack with shortsword is(-8) so is at +2. my dm is interpreting the feat as only for dr so r/s/s +10/+6/+2 anyone have ruling on this. if I was using 2 rapiers would be +10/+8+/+0 any feedback would be awesome. one way seems bit powerful other way completely useless considering its a lvl 1 feat and you don't c DR till much higher lvls

improved feint, off hand, iterative, iterative, hastened attack. 4 sneak attacks against flat-footed AC. i dont think its that bad personally.

This needs to be Improved Two-Weapon Feint. Improved Feint just makes feint a move action, which means no full attacks. Two-Weapon Feint makes feint part of a full attack, and Improved Two-Weapon Feint makes it apply to all of your attacks until the end of your round. But yes, it works pretty well. I've got a ninja that will realize this build at 9th level through careful planning and saving combat trick to be able to take Improved Two-Weapon Fighting at 8th so I'll meet the prereqs for Improved Two-Weapon Feint at 9th. There's still a problem hitting with iteratives, even against flat-footed AC, because a lot of enemies don't have much dex to begin with. Weapon Focus (or the weapon training rogue talent) and anything else you can do to improve your to hit will help.

It is a long feat chain, baut it allows a rogue/ninja to stand toe to toe with an enemy and still get sneak attacks off. Of course, boosting AC becomes important then, too.

All of that being said, Elven Curved Blade is not a good choice for a TWF build. Kukris or Wakisashis are probably ideal for a ninja. For a rogue, taking the EWP sets you back quite a bit, especially if you aren't human. So dagger or shortsword might be better. I did it with fighting fans, because that was the character concept, and with most of the damage coming from sneak attack, the base damage die didn't matter much. The +2 to feint from the fans being Distracting weapons helps, too.

Now Elven Curved Blade for a two-handed fighting rogue might be a good choice, though it still costs a proficiency or a dip into a class with martial proficiency (if you're an elf). For a ninja, Katana would probably be a better choice.

1st rapier is only considered light for purpose of weapon finess thus kukri wakisashi wins over dealing with tohit penalty is easy fighter 3 or 4 with gloves of dueling that negates the 2wp penslty +3 hit +5 dmg due to wespon spec additionsl +1 for higher bab or 8 weapon master for extra +2/+1 gwf with gloves of dueling gives u weapon specialization +5 to hit +6 dmg both main and offhand hands 2 weapon fighting is the wsy to go for rogues if anyone does the math specislly with imp 2 wespon feint etc. for mythic the 8 lvl fighter becomed even better due to extrs +2 to hit from mithyc wespon focus/spec

Rogue bring as follows.
1st UMD to be able to use shield wands
2nd Evasion
3rd Uncanny dodge often ovelooked but can be useful
4th better acrobatics for added mobility
minor sneak attack for a -1 bab trade off its -1 bab per 2d6 sneak not that horrible
skill points depending on role in group

I have explored this similar build before few things to consider... 1st are you using standard criticals or cards. I would max str if you attempt this build and do a weapon master as the progression of att/dmg is insane. I like for a lvl 20 12 levels of weapon master 8 rogue. following key feats.
We use a 25 point heroic build so stats little different I use duel wielding kukri build as it maxes out crits/sneaks and with duel slice str based really scales well. but u can go either way. If you plan on meelee fighter you shoudl put all favorite class into extra hps. also consider doing half elf for the 2 favorite class option.
KUKRI lvl 20 stats Scimitar/Falchion
str 17(19) 13pts str 24 str 17(19)
dex 17 13pts dex 17 dex 14
con 14 5pts con 14 con 14
int 12 2pts int 12 int 14
wis 7 -4pts wis 7 wis 11
cha 7 -4pts cha 7 cha 7
Weapon master gives you at lvl 12 +4 to hit +4 to dmg thats +6 to hit +8 to dmg with the weapon spec/focus especially additive with 2 weapons thats 8 dmg each weapon... Keep in mind bleeding critical stacks with it self so 2d6 bleed every crit 2x kukri with 15-20 crit pretty sick potential. get umd up and cast shield on self for added defensive capacity.

Weapon focus
Weapon Specialization
Greater Weapon Focus
Greater Weapon Specialization
Improoved Crit
Critical Focus
Bleeding Critical
Furious focus if single weapon
IF using 2 kukri to duel wield get also following feats
adv base dmg with 24 str is +15dmg main hand + 15dmg offhand with weapon master whiping the duel wield penalty completely as compared to pure fighter also when u flank u get potentially 2 xra sneak dice 8 rog 4d6 dmg + 2 weapon rend another 1d10+ strx1or 1.5forgot. 2 additional shots for the bleed dmg with 15-20 crit range..
two-weapon fighting
improoved 2 weapon fighting
duel slice (full str on both wep)
two weapon rend
Hope this helps or at least gives you some fun ideas to explore

Was wondering can someone with lifesence be subject to sneak attack?

Can lifesence be used to locate someone without perception check (withing 30ft). Can an oracle actively use lifesence to locate/track subjects movement?
Thank You

It is a rules question y faq?

Can a quickened spell from say combat healing be empowered with a metamagic rod?

Thank You

can an oracle of life with lifesence exclude invisible opponents from his/her channel?

Are there any feats that mimic this 3.5 complete war handbook feat which allows one to retain buckler AC after attacking with 2hder/2weapon fighting/bow. One would think that its similar enough to improoved shield bash, but could not find proper wording. Can anyone clarify this or find if this feat has or will be converted.
Thank You.

Does LIFESENCE ability of oracles require some form of visual, can it work though walls? Can it be used to spot living creatures withing 30???

Simple question if anyone able to answer.
if my intellect increases via wish/tomes would the resulting skill point gain be retroactive?
Thank,
DS
Can we get an official publisher response?
