How does possessing interact with command undead or similar effect?


In 3.5, the rule says, "It takes a full-round action to search a 5-foot-by-5-foot area or a volume of goods 5 feet on a side." But I can't find any rule about it in pathfinder? Any ideas?


The Eidolon in my game has driven me crazy. Its defense seems unbreakable.

Let’s see a Level 5 Biped Agathion (HD4), with Naturalist Archetype, who has enslaved a half elf to provide him endless power.

With 3 Extra Evolutions and favored class bonus, the Agothion has 8 Evolution points, which can be allocated as follows: Improved Natural Armor*2, Fire Resistance, Energy Attacks, Claws, Limbs.

The Agothion has learnt some skills about Combat Reflex, Power Attack, Dodge

Now, WITH NO EQUIPMENT, the Aagthion has 33 AC(+10 Natural, +2 Dex, +1 dodge, +4 Mage Armor, +4 Shield, +2 Barkskin), while according to the monster creation rules we know a High Attack CR 7 monster ONLY has +13 attack, which means the Aagthion is nearly immune to any attack that targets AC.

And with the help of Resist Energy: Acid, the Aagthion has 10 Resistance to any energy attack, so things like FireBall, Alchemist’s Bomb can be of no help.

Also, we know Biped Agothion has a good fort save and a good will save.

The most crazy thing is, even if I manage to do enough damage to the Aagthion, its master can share HP with him through Life Link, and with the help of Fervor juice, the Aagthion just continues fighting.

Don't forget Summon Eidolon. A scroll can make all my effort in vain. I believe a rod of quicken spell, lesser, can be a nightmare.

So every times the team encounter something, the master just casts shield and stay out of sight, and leave the Aagthion to finish all the monsters. And with 4claws +9 1d4+1d6acid+5(str+2 from animal focus), the Aagthion is doing a goodjob.

Any ideas?


Hi everyone. I found a interesting spell called Storm of Blades. But I'm not quite sure about its mechanism.

1 In description it says "You create floating swords of the type used as the material component for this spell (such as a rapier or scimitar)". So what does "type" means actually?
2 What about the size of the swords the spell creates? The same as the one used as material?
3 What about special materials? Could I create silver swords to bypass DR/silver?
4 How does the spell interact with feats and class features that modify weapon attacks, such as weapon focus and perfect strike(kensai)?
Perfect strike

Spoiler:

Perfect Strike (Ex)
At 4th level, when a kensai hits with his chosen weapon, he can spend 1 point from his arcane pool in order to maximize his weapon damage. Don’t roll for damage—the weapon deals maximum damage. This affects only the weapon’s base damage dice, not additional damage from sneak attack, magical weapon properties, spellstrike, or critical hits. If the kensai confirms a critical hit, he can instead spend 2 points from his arcane pool to increase his weapon’s critical multiplier by 1.
This ability replaces spell recall.

5 Could the spell be empowered?
