If a Magus is casting a spell the resists are calculated as normal for the spell.

If the Magus is using spell strike I assume the roll for resist is calculated the same?

I have a player saying that if they deliver it via a weapon their is no resist chance.

Ok some my lvl 4 Ranger and his lvl 3 Druid buddy try and test the limits of my patience at times but here is their latest fiasco:

5 Hellhounds jump the party to attack the Ranger's Animal a Leopard.

Party is 4 Chars - Rog (device spec'ed ie find/disable) - Chaotic Neutral
Cleric - Chaotic Good
Druid - Lawful Neutral - Fire Spec
Ranger - Dual Weild - Chaotic Good - took Animal Companion.

The Hellhounds attack players that are in the path to the leopard until they can get to the leopard. Once the characters relaized this all but the Rog stopped attacking the Hellhounds until they were on the Leopard then had the cleric healing the leopaqrd as they tried to kill the hellhounds.

Needless to say the leopard would get to 1 pt from perm death when they would pop a heal and it would still be sub 0 and getting chewed on.

The Druid and Ranger even commented how cool it was to use the Leopard as a tank as they weren't getting hit. Meanwhile Mr. Pussy Cat is being tortured killed then healed etc.

All along these two rocket scietists keep saying "I didn't do that its not what my Character would do..." and I explained over and over and even made them read what their classes were about...

So here is where I am at:

Ranger for using his animal companion in a cruel way is no longer capable of pulling an animal companion until he is atoned. This requires a casting of Atonement (and proper tithes for it) as well as a quest to redeem himself.

The druid who claims he isn't for Nature but the aspect of fire is getting hit the same way.

They also have lost all supernatural empowered abilities until they get the atonement done. ie no spells or abilities.

Also the Ranger will no longer be able to take on an animal companion of the same type (no more big cats).

The cleric was trying his best to keep the leopard alive but it the end all 3 Hellounds left alive crited and shreded the cat. ( Ok I got tired of them using it and laughing about it)

The Rog has already filed it that he will kill each of them in their sleep for cruelty to animals (more drama for me to handle)

Here is where I am at, I've DM'ed and GM'ed since the 70's - but Pathfinder is new - am I treating this incorrectly?

I am sure the druid and the ranger have also both shifted towards evil in their wanton use of the companion as a target.

Open to suggestions...
(BTW the player who runs the Rog mentioned some penalties but, I think he ment in real life to them but, I think Ill let him cool off for a few days :))

Ok one of my players (the one always trying to pull one over on the GM) rolled up a druid. Here are my questins:

The druid bought heavy prof. then bought full plate dragonhide. Can druids go heavy and they only get penalty if metal correct.

Next, he is fire domain and thinks he can cast fireball when he hits lvl 5 becauseit says he can cast any spell in fire domain. However fireball is Arcane not Divine.

My players found a belt of giant str +2 and one says that a spell that is add +2 str (bull str) wont stack if the player is wearing the belt.

As the GM, I think it stacks. But again I have players saying they saw a rule.
