I am pretty sure this is a really simple question. So when a Barbarian rages they "She also gains 2 temporary hit points per Hit Die." according to the Core Rule Book.

If a Barbarian's health is 12 (the maximum hit die for a Barbarian) does that mean they get 24 temporary hit die on top of the 12 they have already?

Hello! Currently I am the GM for my group but that doesn't stop me from still making characters that I plan on playing one day! :D

I already settled on a main character but I do have another concept in mind but I know little about Summoners except that they seem to be complicated to build. Now add my concept and I don't know how to go about this build & still have it be viable.

The character is a soldier when he is sent off to war shortly after he was married to a young & beautiful bride. After many years he returns alive from the war only to find that his wife passed on due to illness.

This character isn't fully fleshed out but I was thinking of a Fighter/Summoner Hybrid if that was feasible. But the main point is that he is a fighter first & only calls for his Eidolon in dire situations. I am not sure but is there a way for an Eidolon to be summoned without actually being summoned? EX: Fighter's life is in peril & the Eidolon appears to protect him.

Anyways the most important detail is when he does finally reveal his Eidolon it appears as a ghostly young but beautiful woman. Essentially his own wife became an Eidolon for her husband. I wasn't able to find much about where Eidolons came from so I thought this approach might be alright. I would like her to be a strong compliment to her husband as if she completes him when summoned.

Any suggestions?

Hello all! I am new to Pathfinder & I am currently making my first character whom I selected will be a Rogue. One of the issues I am having with him is finding out what alignment he falls into.

He has a set of loose principles in that he values fair 1 v 1 combat when it is called for but at the same time will break these values if it means to protect his friends. This makes him sound Chaotic Good however...

He isn't above murder should he feel someone is corrupt (ex: a Noble or Knight attacking a peasant girl because she accidentally tore his fancy cape.) In which case he has little qualms with openly murdering someone. Even if someone was using Blackmail against a friend he would create an "accidental" death and would hide any involvement with the murder from his friends. This sounds more evil to me.

So is he perhaps a Chaotic Neutral character? I am not sure. :(

EDIT: If it helps I'll a bit of back story & future goals to this character.

He was born to a noble house of famous swordsman but at a young tender age an opposing house legally slaughtered his family through "duels" to prove who had the superior swordsmanship even though it has been rumored that there may have been cheating going on. A loyal vassal hides the young master fearing that he may be targeted as well. The vassal himself is in fact is a leader of a Thieve's Guild much akin to Robin Hood & thus my character learns most of his more dishonest skills though him & takes his last name to hide his own.

His goal is to prove to the world that his family's swordsmanship is indeed the best in the world and plans to reclaim his family's honor. He knows that by doing so a lot of blood of nobles whom he feels is corrupt will be spilled but has little qualms about doing so & does not worry about the possible consequences of these actions.
