This is a pretty basic idea I came up with because I'm a lover of fighters and Paladins. But they get short changed on the skills rather hard even with a skill bump and use of background skills I often just feel like the big juicy meat for the skill monkey type to stand behind which in some RP events made me feel VERY left out. My fix? Easy

For anything that would get 2 skill per level plus int give them 1D4(or average round down, It would still be 2) And allow them to spend the same time they would training their HP up to train to their max skill dice. If you think this is unfair to the 4+int skill users easy fix, Give them a D6, Etc. Following this logic the rogue with the most skill points gets a mighty powerful D10+int and it would more than likely raise the powerlevel of the group but that is at the very least my fix to the problem...Or just bump all the 2+int to 4+int and call it a day.

Alright so I was told that the Hybrid classes got an Errata that allows them to Multi class with one of their parent classes. Now this sound insane and wrong since that was a big point of the first book of you can't do that or mix another Hybrid class if they had shared parent classes. Something I was also told was changed.

So I started looking and found...Nothing Not a thing. So maybe some one here can offer me a link or source for this claim before I start getting back in pathfinder as some of my favorite classes came from the Hybrid book and I would like to make full proper use of them if I can. I just want it cleared up is all. Thanks ahead of time

I was wondering can a Witch with the Hex of Healing brew potions of cure light wounds by using up a hex? It says it functions as the spell but I'm not sure.

Alright so I was thinking about running a flip Vigilante where the social side was treated as the lesser used and the Vigilante side was a well known Gladiator. I wanted him to have a VERY flashy style of combat and I came up with the idea of mixing Star Tosser style with a Large or Huge Starknife since it's size doesn't effect the fact it is a throwing weapon and only stops me from using weapon Finesse on it. (Easy fix with magic items)

I know I'll be taking a -4 to hit but the idea of a Ring fighter bouncing this giant star of doom about his foes seems like just the type of over flash I was looking for with the character. But I was wondering if any one had any better ideas for me, or tips of how to improve the idea all together.

Okay so this feat says Prerequisites: Goblin.

Benefit: You can wield Medium firearms without taking the penalty for an inappropriately sized weapon.

Normal: You take a –2 penalty when using an inappropriately sized weapon.

I don't believe this allows me to wield a two handed Medium firearm. Though afew friends were asking about it. Any FAQ's or hard ruling on that?

Am I the only one who doesn't fully get the purpose of Voice mimicry? Is it, Doesn't Disguise help cover that on it's own if not why would this take a WHOLE archetype to fix or add. Is this for like something you can do REALLY fast like out of sight. Like guards are trying to get into a door and rather than the 1d3 minutes to put on the full Disguise who can shout through the door? OR what.

Okay since armor for all things class and feat related are treated as a step lighter when made out of Mithral. Has there ever been any rules or standing that a one handed weapon made out of it being able to count as a light for Finesse? Or is it just like a home brew thing. I looked around and while it makes some sense I can't find anything that would allow it

So if I picked up Weapon Focus Ray. Does that count for both Ray of Frost and say Scorching Ray or would I have to pick up one for each?

So does Ray of Frost, Since it is a ray that counts as a weapon which can be focused and Speced for can you Point blank Shot it?

I need some tips how I can make my War priest, Who is a knight in story. Have enough skill points with in the first three levels to better show study and combat. But I'm being strong armed by a 15 point buy and really only have a chance to pick one. I'm human but I got rid of the feat and skill point for 2 +2. Which made my stat lay out 14,12,12,12,16,12 Which works really well for the mid maxing of the stats. I was already suggested that I don't do that and take a 14, 12, 12, 12, 14, 12. Since my 6th level spells will be way down the road anyways and that gives me my human skill point per level back...Also a feat. So Advice or tips. Any other way to squeeze skill points into my list or are those my only two choices. One right...I get ONE trait. Which I used to reduce Armor check pen by 1

Well nearly all of my DMs have this rule that if the player gains some sort of template that they suddenly shouldn't have control over the character. With some cases like Werewolves i find it understandable that during the full moon or forced change that a none natural Werewolf wouldn't have control over the character. But my DMs won't stop there. Lich and Vampire are also suddenly you can't play that character anymore. I find that just an awful choice for a DM to do. It is only under rare cases I find it is okay for a DM to request the character sheet from a player for the purposes of control, anything sort of a mind control spell or feral werebeast or even a retired character. I would say those are the ONLY three things I can think of. At least from the top of my head. Any thoughts of those who agree or don't agree?

Okay, So here is the question. I want to make a Kensai using a wakizashi at the start, But when I get the power to Finesse a Katana.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency
A kensai is proficient in simple weapons and in a single martial or exotic melee weapon of his choice. A kensai is not proficient with armor or shields and suffers normal arcane spell failure chance when casting magus spells while armored.

It says i can pick a weapon I am proficient with. This means I can retrain it as part of the class feature rules, right? That was the first question second question is how long will this take, Around retraining I'm going to be 9th or 11th level.

Sum it up. Can i do it, and how long will it take.

Okay, I found a way to Finesse my Katana on my Magus. The down side is it doesn't come into play until 9th level. But I think I found a fix. I recall a magic item which can reduce a weapon from a one handed weapon to a light weapon and a two handed weapon to a one handed weapon. But I can't for the life of me find it. Any one here know the item or have a better idea for now to make this work? I'm working on a very strict 15 point buy so it is dex or str can't have both

I'm looking to build a sword and pistol Pirate character, I'm seeking the best way around the reload problem of two weapon fighting with it. Only simple firearms are a real choice. If I want to keep the fluff while being a bit pricey i could take the quick draw and have a few pistols on my person. But that seems a bit like madness. Anyways any advice would be looked at lovingly with the hope there is a better choice than quick draw or weapon cord.

I'm sure this was answered before. I know that there is an archetype called the titan mauler which lets you use a two handed weapon of your proper size at a -2 in one hand and that was a feature which let you do that...But then I found this

Thunder and Fang (Combat)

You have mastered the ancient Thunder and Fang fighting style, allowing you to fight with increased effectiveness when wielding an earth breaker and klar.

Prerequisite: Str 15, Two-Weapon Fighting, Weapon Focus (earth breaker), Weapon Focus (klar)

Benefit:You can use an earth breaker as though it were a one-handed weapon. When using an earth breaker in one hand and a klar in your off hand, you retain the shield bonus your klar grants to your Armor Class even when you use it to attack. Treat your klar as a light weapon for the purposes of determining your two-weapon fighting penalty.

Normal: An earth breaker is a two-handed weapon, preventing the use of a klar in one hand without imposing penalties for using the earth breaker one-handed. A klar can be used either as a one-handed weapon or a shield; it does not grant a bonus to AC during rounds in which it is used as a weapon.

Now it clearly states taking penalties for using an earth breaker one handed. Which has me all jumbled up. The only thing I can think of us using an earth breaker one size smaller than you making it one handed not two. Is there something I missed in the rules some where that had made the titan Mauler's Class feature worthless?

Alright so I'm wanting to run a shaman but I found the feat Unfettered Familiar, Does my spirit animal count as a Familiar for taking this feat? I believe it does but having back up or if it doesn't would go along way with my Dungeon master if it can't or can.

I'm not often a spell caster so i had a question about Magic Missile's damage. I know it is 1d4+1 and you get an extra missile every two levels but I've been seeing people showing 2d4+2. Does that mean every missile gets +2 damage or do i pick a target to get that extra damage. Like is it (1d4+2, 1d4+2) Or is it (1d4+2, 1d4) Or (1d4+1, 1d4+1) Again sorry I'm not good at understanding magic all that well, and please have a book name or a linked source. Game masters are very heavy sticklers for that kinda thing
