Dark Sorcerer's page

A sorcerer does not need to spend an hour per day to have their spell slots refreshed each day, it just happens after they rest.

However, my understanding of the arcanist's spellcasting is that they do not gain new spells per day until after they prepare spells, even if they didn't want to change their spell selection. Correct?

I assume this also applies to the vigilante-warlock (playtest-ultimate intrigue)?


Does a zealot vigilante require a holy symbol to cast spells?

On this page the brass knuckles still say " and can use their monk unarmed damage when fighting with them."

This has been supplanted by devs and rulings. Would it be possible to replace this line in the PRD to reflect the entry in the Ultimate Equipment?

Even better please change the line to read: " but don't use their monk unarmed damage when fighting with them."


Does anyone have houserule alternate feats for the stalwart defender? Requiring mobility for a class that is designed to not move strikes me as misplaced. Do you have alternatives that make sense?


The classes in the ACG plytest are listed as Alternate Classes for two other classes. Is there any ruling anywhere that states that classes can gain the feats of their alternates.

Put bluntly: can a warpriest (Fighter/cleric) gain the disruptive feat?


Is the expensive material component of a spell duplicated by limited wish a material component of the limited wish spell.

from limited wish:
When a limited wish spell duplicates a spell with a material component that costs more than 1,000 gp, you must provide that component (in addition to the 1,500 gp diamond component for this spell).


Am I understanding bloodmoney correctly? I cast bloodmoney, take 1d6 hp of damage and 10 points of strength damage then cast fabricate to create a 10lb (5000gp) bar of platinum.


Is the Purify Food and Drink Orison powerful enough to make forage gathered in the worldwound safe to eat?


Studded leather has enough metal to prevent a druid from wearing it, does it have enough metal to grant DR 1/- if the studs were adamantine?


Can you take a rapid shot with a (throwing) hammer if you take melee attacks with the hammer.

Two-Weapon Rend should be listed after Improved Two Weapon Fighting on the chart.


Ultimate Campaign mass combat rules do not make a provision for advisors adding boons, tactics and special abilities.

However, Sword of Valor has several NPCs that seem to act as advisors granting abilities to the army (Spellbreaker, Permanent Battlefield Advantage, and unnamed bonuses).

How many advisors can a commander/army have.
Can advisors add their bonuses to more than one army travelling together?


Can a magus archetype's Blackblade (the weapon itself) benefit from a tome of intellect?


Can a Fighter (Archer) 5/Magus (Myrmidarch) 6 take bows as his fighter weapon training?

Does Expert Archer stack with Fighter Weapons Training (Bows) with a long bow?


Is there an equivalent to Clustered Shots for Energy Resistance?

I want to total the damage from Flaming on arrows before applying the demon's fire resistance. Is there a feat for this?


Does the sheath of bladestealth change its own size or does it change the size of the weapon?

This mundane-looking but serviceable sheath fits any bladed slashing weapon, from a dagger to a greatsword. When a weapon is placed into the sheath of bladestealth, both it and the weapon become invisible (as the invisibility spell) until the weapon is drawn, at which point it and the sheath become visible again. The invisible sheathed weapon can still be detected by touch, but the bearer gains a +5 bonus on Sleight of Hand checks to conceal the weapon, and casual inspection does not reveal it at all. Other effects that detect or reveal invisible things work normally on the sheathed weapon.


Can a sunblade bypass DR/Good?


Can a creature with Regeneration(ex) die of old age?


I have a town house in a city with a small staff. I have a cook, butler, 3 maids, a valet, and a maid servant. I am providing 3 meals a day for the staff and am trying to figure the cost of raw foodstuff. I have the following menu for them:

Breakfast
2 1.5 lb loaves of wheat bread (1 lb wheat each loaf)
8 cups of oats (porridge)

Lunch
2 1.5 lb loaves of wheat bread
4 cups (1 quart) beans
1 chicken

Supper
2 1.5 lb loaves of wheat bread
Pottage (4 cups peas, 2 cups wheat, 2 cups vegetables)

1 gallon of ale throughout the day

This translates to 6.5 quarts of wheat, 2 quarts of oats, 1 quart of beans and 1 quart of peas, 1 chicken and 1 gallon of ale.
Does this seem to be the right amount of food for my 7 servants?


I was looking for a feat for a 2 hander (great sword) fighter. I stumbled upon Impact Critical which is almost what I am looking for.

What is the melee version of this? The closest I can find is Bull Rush Strike AND tripping strike (need both melee feats to do the same thing as the ranged feat).

Looking at the requirements, a melee fighter needs 6 feats to do what the ranged fighter can do for only 2? And the Archery feat is still better than both of those feats combined.

Am I mising something? Is there a feat that allows a melee fighter to hit so hard he drives his target into the ground?


Have the devs made an official ruling on the type of bonus of a robe of Archmagi?

Can the robe be augmented as magic armor?

Does the robe need a +1 bonus before other augments?

Is the robe limited to +8 like bracers of armor?

Can the robe have non-plus enhancements?

If a ruling has been made, can someone provide a link to the ruling?


Can I augment a ring of Force Shield into a Ring of Bashing Force Shield +1?

Would it require a +1 bonus before other enhancements?

Would it be limited to +8 like bracers of armor?

Can you add non-plus enhancements?


Where does it say you have to multiclass in order to gain the benefits of this arcana?

Quote:

The magus can use his spellstrike and spell combat

abilities while casting or using spells from the spell list
of that class.

No where in the wording does it say you must actually take the class to cast the spells from its spell list...


Intentionally left blank for edits.


Does the magic weapon spell have any effect on a magic weapon.

Does the greater magic weapon spell have any effect on a magic weapon?


The warlock is nice as written but lacks the level 20 bump given to all Paizo classes. Here is my attempt:

At level 20 the warlock becomes an evil outsider (or chaotic outsider). Resistances gained from the warlock class become immunities. Choose two other energy types, these become Resistance (10). The Fiendish Resilience class feature becomes usable a number of times each day equal to 1+Cha mod.

In General...
Change HD to d8, 4+int skill points and following skills:

Acrobatics, Bluff, Craft, Disguise, Fly, Intimidate, Knowledge: Arcana/Planes/Religion,
Profession, Sense Motive, Spellcraft, Use Magic Device


At level 20, the warlock becomes infused with Infernal/Abyssal/Fey Power. The resistances gained from the warlock class become immunities. Choose another 2 energy types: these become Resistance (10). The warlock becomes an outsider(evil) or outsider(chaotic).

The warlock(lvl 20) can use his Fiendish Resilience a number of times each day equal to 1+ his Cha Mod.

To Paizo the class, I give it d8 hit die and 4+int skill points with the following skills.
Acrobatics, Bluff, Craft, Disguise, Intimidate, Knowledge: Arcana/Planes/Religion, Profession, Sense Motive, Spellcraft, Use Magic Device


The description of half-elf states: "Elf Blood: Half-elves count as both elves and humans for any effect related to race."

Does this mean a half-elf can take a "Race: Human" prestige class in the same manner they can take a "Race: Elf" prestige class.

Question Specific to the changeling WoTC prestige class.
