Hi Customer Service, Order 8236096 still shows as pending. The original email I received said expected to ship in 1 to 5 business days for one package and 5 to 23 business days for the second. It's now been ~27 business days and neither package has shipped. Can I get an update on this order? Thank you

I've looked at some options on Amazon but reviews said they were a pretty flimsy plastic.

So each attack deals extra damage. Three attacks means you get the extra damage three times, not six. Chill touch and sneak attack are both just adding damage to existing attacks, they are not attacks on their own.

Yes, I think it would be overpowered to have GunRadiance transform ammo into cold iron bullets, as the paladin is already going to be getting a ranged holy avenger they can use against touch AC. The bonus on it is going to get high enough eventually that it will be overcoming cold iron DR anyways.

Groetus doesn't have a formal religion or organized church, so how does he have a rightful claim to any temple, fallen or otherwise? And "exercising rights" is the kind of thing those lawful priests would be doing, seems a bit odd for a mad prophet of a god of oblivion to be worrying about his legal rights. But as to your original question, there is no chaotic/lawful equivalent to consecrate/desecrate (or hallow/unhallow, which is probably what you want long term). You could try consecrating formerly evil temples and desecrating formerly good temples, to emphasize that they are truly abandoned and fallen.

You get to pick your destination, not pick an enemy and then travel past it the remaining distance. If you picked a location inside the mist or on the opposite side of it where you can't see, I'd say it's reasonable that you could miss your intended destination, since you don't actually know where it is. If you are picking a visible location outside the mist (maybe you're in a weird room filled with mirrors, so you can see the other side of the mist, just not what's inside it) you would damage anything in your path, but you can't see the enemy, so you still wouldn't know if he actually intersected your path. And like chaoseffect said, I would say that ride the lightning is not going to burn away any mist.

The big problem with true strike is that it is a standard action casting time, range personal spell that affects only your next attack. Translating that into a continuous item that can be worn by anyone that affects all attacks breaks the limitations on it. On the other hand, strong jaw is a range touch spell that has a minutes/level duration (minimum 7 minutes), which is similar to other spell-in-a-can items that are permitted in the game (cape of the mountebank, lantern of revealing).

RAW, Improved Uncanny Dodge only cares about rogue levels vs. stacking levels from classes that grant Uncanny Dodge (barbarian 2+, assassin 2+, shadowdancer 2+, stalwart defender 3+, rogue 4+, ninja 4+). RAI, I would imagine that if a class stacks with (or substitutes for, like ninja) rogue levels for the purposes of sneak attack dice (vivisectionist alchemist, assassin, inner sea pirate, master spy, red mantis assassin, sleepless detective, arcane trickster 2+, halfling opportunist 2+, lion blade 2+, pain taster 2+, aspis agent 3+, bellflower tiller 3+, low templar 3+), it would also stack for the purposes of flanking an enemy that has Improved Uncanny Dodge. (Oddly, unlike other archetypes/PrCs that give Sneak Attack, sandman bard 5+ does not say the bonuses on damage stack.)

A custom item is not the same thing as a non-custom item that does something similar. Just because you create a similar item with an effect not normally allowed allowed by an amulet of mighty fists does not make the custom item you created an amulet of mighty fists. It's still its own separate custom item. And custom items are not the same as house rules. If I create a custom item that fills the neck slot, gives a +1 enhancement bonus to my unarmed/natural attacks, and increases the effective size of those unarmed/natural attacks, that's within the normal item creation guidelines for custom items. If I instead say impact can be applied to an amulet of mighty fists, despite the rules relating to light weapons, then I'm creating my own house rules.

Amulet of Mighty Fists: Alternatively, this amulet can grant melee weapon special abilities, so long as they can be applied to unarmed attacks.

Arachnofiend is technically correct, you can't make an impact amulet of mighty fists. You can design a custom magic item with the same effect as a hypothetical impact amulet of mighty fists but you're creating a custom item, not an amulet of mighty fists.

Tomos was close, but to get the 10 minute duration the OP ask for it would be 4 * 10 * 1800 / (5/3) = 43200 gp to buy, 21600 gp to craft. If you're fine with a 7 minute duration, 3 times/day, the prices Tomos listed are 100% correct.

Likewise, we have Inner Sea Magic for Ultimate Magic, Inner Sea NPC Codex for the NPC Codex, Inner Sea Bestiary for Bestiary 1/2/3/4.

What would be a reasonable means for PCs to restore the three corrupted statues, either reverting them to mundane statues of Torag or undefiled and non-hostile graven guardians?

As it doesn't specify that you get to choose where they stumble, I would assume that either (a) the enemy gets to choose which square they fall prone in or (b) it was determined randomly, via d8. But assuming that they either chose to fall into the second one or randomly rolled that way, they would fall prone in the second one and nothing would happen. They're not stepping into it and likely to trip (again), they're just falling down on top of it. And likewise, when they stand up, they are not stepping into the square, so no Reflex save.

No, they do not stack. And you cannot change either the +1 enhancement bonus from the sword or the gloves to something else, such as flaming. But if you use gloves with a masterwork sword, it will deal +1 damage. And if you use it with a regular mundane sword, it will have +1 to hit and deal +1 damage.

Either that or we can just be less pedantic and say that mage armor is not armor, nor is it a valid target for magic vestment

Your hypothetical bell curve is a bit off. PFSRD wrote:
So you're not really going to see traps with a DC 5 Disable Device check, since a 10 Dex commoner with a single rank in Disable Device could succeed at that 85% of the time. And a trap with a Disable Device of 30 corresponds to something like a Symbol of Pain Trap, which is CR 6 and comes from an AP volume for level 7+ characters. Most mechanical traps for a level 3 rogue are going to be around DC 20 and will be pretty easy to bypass without much effort. But there might be a few DC 25 or 26 magical traps that the rogue will fail to disable if he takes a 10. And there may even be a DC 27+ magical trap that would be sprung if he took a 10 and failed. And that's why its a choice, whether to take 10 on an average/easy task or roll the dice for something more difficult.

Making up entirely new rules (you can take a 20, but only up to a maximum of you or your ally's perception+20) just for the Disguise skill alone seems unusually harsh, yes. To me, this seems as ridiculous as suggesting that you can only Bluff up to a maximum of your Sense Motive+20, otherwise you would start believing your own lies. While I think that would make for a hilarious house rule for my game full of deceitful illusionists, prevaricating bards, and lying-very-poorly fighters, I would never suggest that be a logical way to interpret the rules.

3-10 hours and 100 gp to basically get the results of a level 2 spell that can be cast as a standard action for free...yep, still seems pretty reasonable. And no, I don't see any reason to limit the disguise to 20+perception of yourself or an ally. Has the Disguise skill every really broken someone's game so badly that it needs to be restricted this harshly?
Pathfinder Adventure Path, Lost Omens, Rulebook, Starfinder Adventure Path Subscriber
If someone spends 1d3x10x20 minutes, between 3 hours, 20 minutes and 10 hours, perfecting their disguise...yeah, I'm willing to let them take a 20. If the target they're trying to fool watches them while doing it, they'd absolutely get to see through when the disguiser "rolls a 1" but at that point, if you can't figure out that the person putting on a disguise for 10 hours isn't who he appears to be...you've got other problems. In-game, you're not trying to "reach a target" when you take 20, you're making sure that you take enough time to do the job to the best of your ability. There is no penalty for failing a disguise check, so you can take your time adjusting your disguise until it's just right. If you roll a 1 on your disguise check, the makeup doesn't melt off of your face, your wig doesn't fall apart, and your imitation clothes don't suddenly tear at the seams.

Unfortunately, the rules for encumbrance and carrying capacity are concerned only with weight, not volume. So RAW, if it's not more than he has carrying capacity, it won't encumber him or otherwise affect his ability to fight. As the GM, you're more than welcome to make additional limitations to preserve verisimilitude. The point will become pretty moot once handy haversacks/bags of holding/portable holes entire the picture.
