If I don't have the cash to pledge within the next three days before the kickstarter closes, will those 'addons' be availible to buy at a later day, or at launch?

as the question. Once a vampire is put at 0 hit points and is turned involuntarily into gaseous form, can negative energy channeling actually help heal it so it can come back?

Running into this because my player got nailed by a siege owlbear, does not yet have his own coffin (he was buried in dirt) and has no where to go to find his 'coffin', but he does have a person that can channel negative energy to heal him right there.

I'm not really asking for help making the guy, just want to double check stuff I came up while making him.

10th lvl character.
Traits taken, 1. Psionic Knack (Psion)-this replaces the lost ML level in non-psychometabolism and non-psychokinesis powers from the archtype

I will have a magical clothing item called Student Robes

The book says 4 pcs at medium progression. Well, like always we have 6; with 4-5 likely to show up 'every' time we play. Will the medium progression with less xp (I use the exact cr / # of pcs method for xp) be made up by 2 extra pcs? Or would it be fairer to do fast progression?

Unlike other adventure paths or modules, I cannot find a page or alternate encounter set ups for more than 4 or less than 4 pcs.

The pcs are all rolled stats with a method that I think has the lowest stat point-buy equivalent at 40. I am enforcing pathfinder only, no firearms, no monstrous races or ideas, and so far what I have is
I also allowed them to pre-roll on the devastating injury/scar table for a feat or two.

a half-elf Sea Ravager Barbarian
an elven blackblade/kensai magus
a human inquisitor (heavy xbow specialist)
another human two weapon fighter
a half-orc two handed fighter

and an unknown sixth pc from a new to pathfinder player (which I'm sure will be 'optimized' via help from the other players).

I'm already going to be really strict on the disciplane and enforce the interactions with npcs for good or bad. I'm not one to pull punches if it comes to combat, and I think with their power base this is the proper way to go.

However, my question lies really at the fact that the module is literally designed for 4 pcs and no built in room for adjustment when it comes to the effect of 2 more pcs on the end battle for the module. This is besides the fact that the jolly boat can only hold 6 people at max, I am sure that the captain would not select all 6 pcs without putting one of his officers in charge.

Any advice moving forward? I am not going back to change creation rules but may readjust on character deaths.

as the title

20th lvl monk goes from humanoid (whatever) to outsider-augmented humanoid (whatever), are they subject to enlarge person?

and while I'm at it, a 20th lvl monk with a robe, monks. anyone ever find hard rules for the damage type they'd be doing?

Going on their unarmed table and then size table I ruled 2d12 medium, 2d10 small, and 4d10 large. The player is trying to go with enlarge person and leadblades.

you mean to tell me that Extra Favored terrain stacks with itself and if taken 12 times gives someone a +24 bonus to initiative to all his favored terrains?

Terrain Mastery (Ex)

Benefit: A rogue with this talent gains a favored terrain as the ranger ability of the same name, though the favored terrain ability does not increase with her level as the ranger’s ability does.

Special: A rogue can take this ability multiple times, each time applying it to a new terrain, and granting all other favored terrains a +2 increase to the favored terrain bonus.

I'm asking this as a GM. I don't mean having it persisted, we all know that does NOT work, but is there an actual rules limit to the number of times you can cast it?

Litany of Righteousness
School evocation [good, language dependent]; Level inquisitor 3,
paladin 2
Casting Time 1 swift action
Components V, S, DF
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target one creature
Duration 1 round
Saving Throw no; Spell Resistance yes
Calling down a litany of anathema, you make an evil more
susceptible to the attacks of good creatures. If the target is
evil, it takes double damage from attacks made by creatures
with a good aura (from a class feature or as a creature with the
good subtype). If the target also has the evil subtype; when it is
hit with attacks made by creatures with a good aura, it is also
dazzled for 1d4 rounds. If this spell targets a nonevil creature
(or one that lacks the evil subtype), it has no effect, and the
spell is wasted.
While subject to this spell, the target cannot be the target of
another spell that has the word "litany" in the title.

---------------------------------------------------
It says for creatures with an aura, then it says as an example creatures with the good subtype. I have been looking and Azata's don't have an aura but they are good subtype. Was it meant to include good subtype outsiders too?

The question is why is storm giant version more expensive to the cloud giant version. All it says is does is change your size as if you had cast Giant Form II. It does not say it gives of the extra abilities other than the actual size bonuses. They both give the same size under the same spell effect (the greater version II, not I). So WHY is one more expensive than the other?

Giant-Hide Armor

Aura strong transmutation; CL 15th
Slot armor; Price 39,165 gp (ogre), 46,665 gp (hill giant), 59,165 gp (troll), 54,165 gp (stone, fire, or frost giant), 69,165 gp (cloud giant), 76,665 gp (storm giant); Weight 25 lbs.
DESCRIPTION

This drooping, many-folded suit of +3 hide armor is made from the tanned skin of an actual giant. Once per day on command, the wearer can grow to match the size of the appropriate giant, as if using giant form I (ogre, troll, hill giant, stone giant, fire giant, or frost giant) or giant form II (cloud giant or storm giant). This transformation lasts up to 15 minutes, and ends when the wearer commands. Most good folk consider wearing the skins of intelligent creatures to be abhorrent. Giants gain a +2 morale bonus on attack and damage rolls against the wearer, or +4 if the wearer's armor is made from the same kind of giant as the attacker.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Craft Magic Arms and Armor, giant form I (ogre, troll, hill giant, stone giant, fire giant, or frost giant) or giant form II (cloud giant or storm giant); Cost 19,660 gp (ogre), 23,415 gp (hill giant), 29,665 gp (troll), 27,165 gp (stone, fire, or frost giant), 34,665 gp (cloud giant), 38,415 gp (storm giant)

Hit Dice (HD)

Hit Dice represent a creature's general level of power and skill. As a creature gains levels, it gains additional Hit Dice. Monsters, on the other hand, gain racial Hit Dice, which represent the monster's general prowess and ability. Hit Dice are represented by the number the creature possesses followed by a type of die, such as “3d8.” This value is used to determine a creature's total hit points. In this example, the creature has 3 Hit Dice. When rolling for this creature's hit points, you would roll a d8 three times and add the results together, along with other modifiers

an 11th class level half celestial-human has 11d10 hitpoints, so does this mean he has 11 hit dice for purposes of his one per day racial ability to smite evil (which simply adds +HD (max 20) to damage on one attack against an evil creature)?

fighting an orc he has 28 hp total

had a feather whip token hit him for 11 points of non lethal

he broke one so this was over two seperate hits

after the first non lethal hit of 7 damage he was grappled and hit twice for 10 points of real damage

he then broke the grapple

then he was hit and grappled again for 4 points of non lethal damage

so 18/28 hp and 11 non lethal

he was then stabbed for 8 more points of damage in one attack

10/28 with 11 non lethal

Does his ferocity kick in allowing him to then draw and drink a CMW potion, or is he flat out unconcious.

Weakening Breath (Su) Instead of a cone of fire, a gold dragon
can breathe a cone of weakening gas. Creatures within the
cone must succeed on a Fortitude save or take 1 point of
Strength damage per age category (Will save half ).

What does that mean
fort save to ignore breath all together, and then if you fail a will for half the strength damage? I've never seen an ability that called for two saves, but I can't find errata on it. Is that what that means?

I know Ultimate combat just came out with a feat to bane TWF "You can apply your bane to a second weapon you are wielding."

can an Inquisitor bane a natural weapon like a claw or bite. OR would he HAVE to be shape changed and use a manufactured weapon?

you should all know what the exended bane feat does adds Wis mod to number of rounds /day you can use inquisitor's bane.

This new feat is a straight +3 rounds per day, with no language to allow you to buy the feat more than once.

Is it intended for them to be there or are they trying to replace one with the other?

This spell has a long history, and I get get the 'history of the spell' item to actually purchase so I have to ask on here.

The first sentence in fireshield says anytime you are attacked in melee . The second paragraph says when hit in melee you take normal damage and the attacker get's affected by the spell as well. I need an official ruling 'somewhere' to take to my dm. Is it whenever you're attacked or whenever you're actually hit. It doesn't make a lot of damn sense to me that just because some sword hit your actual shield in combat and didn't score a hit against you that this spell which is historically a bubble wouldn't apply.

This material is published under the OGL
Fire Shield Evocation [Fire or Cold]
Level: Fire 5, Sor/Wiz 4, Sun 4
Components: V, S, M/DF
Casting time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level (D)

This spell wreathes you in flame and causes damage to each creature that attacks you in melee. The flames also protect you from either cold-based or fire-based attacks (your choice).

Any creature striking you with its body or a handheld weapon deals normal damage, but at the same time the attacker takes 1d6 points of damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +15). This damage is either cold damage (if the shield protects against fire-based attacks) or fire damage (if the shield protects against cold-based attacks). If the attacker has spell resistance, it applies to this effect. Creatures wielding weapons with exceptional reach are not subject to this damage if they attack you.

When casting this spell, you appear to immolate yourself, but the flames are thin and wispy, giving off light equal to only half the illumination of a normal torch (10 feet). The color of the flames is determined randomly (50% chance of either color)—blue or green if the chill shield is cast, violet or blue if the warm shield is employed. The special powers of each version are as follows.

Warm Shield: The flames are warm to the touch. You take only half damage from cold-based attacks. If such an attack allows a Reflex save for half damage, you take no damage on a successful save.

Chill Shield: The flames are cool to the touch. You take only half damage from fire-based attacks. If such an attack allows a Reflex save for half damage, you take no damage on a successful save.

Arcane Material Component: A bit of phosphorus for the warm shield; a live firefly or glowworm or the tail portions of four dead ones for the chill shield.

I've been looking around and am trying to find a definitive quotable answer on this. The spell description says in it's first sentence anyone attacking you in melee combat that doesn't have a man made reach weapon is affected by the spell. However, in the following paragraph it simply states that in addition to taking normal damage if you're hit the attacker takes X damage if all the necessary prerequisites are met.

Does anyone that swings at you (hit or miss) take damage or only the folks that hit you?
