It's a spell that's cast more out of a sense of desperation or shortsightedness on the part of the caster.
Or...a sense of excitement/insanity!
The spell requires line of effect from the Jar to the targets.
Create cover somehow (you're at least a 9th level Wizard) and the 'enemy life force' will be the only valid target.
It could be as simple as throwing the jar into a room and shutting the door behind it.
The 'sense a difference of 4 or more HD' is for when the targets are all mixed up. You're not blind and there's no reason why you can't simply orient yourself if your party is in a logical group somewhere. If everyone is thrashing around in melee, it would be impossible.
Don't forget to Reduce Person yourself before you get started. You don't want your lifeless body to be too much of an inconvenience to your party.
You do not need line of effect from the jar.
"While in the magic jar, you can sense and attack any life force within 10 feet per caster level (and on the same plane of existence). You do need line of effect from the jar to the creatures."
Can you have FedEx/Kinkos print the FAQ? And then show it to them?
This idea really amuses me actually. But of course it won't matter if what they want is official letterhead and specific permissions spelled out to you and your specific files.
Having them print it would charge me automatically before it even gets approved which they probably wouldn't print it either as the website also has a copyright on the bottom.
Have you printed the FAQ authorizing printing of PDFs and shown it to them, or do they want specific authorization for the individual person and file?
I can't print the FAQ. I do not have a working printer which is why I was having fedex/kinkos print the character sheet for me (not the original that has the photocopy ok on the bottom)
Yeah my local fedex/kinkos refuses to print them or even to go to the website to look where it says I have permission to print a copy of a pdf by paizo publishing. They just keep repeating they need written permission from the copyright holder (which what company is gonna take time for every small request like this)
It also reads that way to me but the first excerpt on it brings up questions, but no where does it say it uses one of your change shape abililities.
I would also like further clarifications and opinions on it as I am currently playing a Werebat-kin oracle with this feat
Quote:
BAT SHAPE
Your powers of transformation have been honed to the
point where you can wholly become a bat.
Prerequisites: Cha 13 , werebat-kin.
Benefits: You can take the form of a bat whose
appearance is static and cannot be changed each time
you assume this form. You gain a +10 racial bonus on
Disguise checks to appear as a bat. Changing from
werebat-kin to bat shape is a standard action. This ability
otherwise functions as beast shape II, and your ability
scores change accordingly.
If you wear a bat pelt (see page 3 1), you may choose to
adopt a form resembling the bat whose skin you wear
instead of your normal bat form.
You can probably wait until 3rd level for either revalation. For a ranged weapon, I actually (and I am sure some people will disagree with this) is a sling. You get your str. to damage, it is free, and ammo is free. Note that with iron weapon whatever you summon, you are considered proficient with, and don't need skill at arms for. So if you summon an earthbreaker without skill at arms, you can use the summoned one still as if you were proficient.
Yeah I realized that I was just going to use skill at arms for the heavy armor proficiency and ranged martial weapons and free up a couple feats.

I only just realized this myself, but according to this FAQ, the 'retrieve a stored item' action affected by the haunted curse and the 'draw a weapon' action are completely different. The curse would only come up if you had stored your weapon in a backpack or something. So you could go with any weapon you want without any trouble from your curse.
Also I was not referring to the retrieval of my weapon but the fact if I'm disarmed it gets tossed several squares away or I happen to drop it somehow. Which could also be alleviated by having locking gauntlets.
Actually Iron Weapon is not 1 a day it is "times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier" which is 7 in my case, Ancestral Weapon is the one your referring to that is 1 min/level. I also have no plans on having a ranged weapon and making up for the lack with spells.
OK a little info time. Character will be level 1 and an Aasimar. I want to focus on melee and support buffs. So I figure going with Iron weapon at first level and Dance of Blades (With Extra Revelation Feat) then at level 3 taking Skill at Arms for the heavy armor proficiency, and then focusing on melee/meta-magic feats, or should I go with skill at arms and ignore iron weapon? I am taking the Haunted curse so i figure being able to conjure my weapon will be a big help.
How do you resolve critical hits? It has been a matter of debate amongst my group. Some say its you roll the damage die the number of times the mulitplier says. While others say its you roll damage once then muliply that by the multiplier. Can I get n official response on this? Thanks for the help.
It was toward the end of the Third Age when her parents, Langon and Calithil, survivours from Eglarest, travelled to and settled temporarily in the Grey Havens as other Elves readied themselves to depart from Middle-earth. Langon and Calithil dedicated their fine crafting skill and sea knowledge to Cirdan the Shipwright, and helped to build the ships which would take the Elves to Valinor of the Blessed Realm.
Even with the diminishing number of Elves, Grey Havens continued to be a functioning port into the Fourth Age, when Nemireth and then her younger brother, Thandon, were born, with Cirdan still overseeing the Elvish port as Master of the Grey Havens. Her family were now a true part of the small Elven community which remained at port while the majority of Elves sailed to the Utter West.
Nemireth and Thandon joined their parents as mariners and ship builders, learning about the Great Sea, the art of building Elven ships, and gaining much experience sailing on the sea. The Elvish siblings would often stand watch from the shoreline and protect the Grey Havens from inbound threat. It was in the Grey Havens that an Elvish swordmaster, Angion, taught Nemireth how to properly and accurately wield an Elven curve blade and she found that she had the temperament for fighting with such a weapon, in close quarters. Nemireth had been taught with a Elven bow from childhood and Thandon kept to his longbow, but would from time to time watch his sister practice with Angion, when neither of them had other duties to attend to. Time passed and Nemireth sought out missions to and from the port as her skill and confidence grew.
Ships of Men would sail into port and Nemireth had some interaction with the sons and daughters of Men. It was on one fateful day when a Man scholar; an ambassador, Pelton the Learned, from Gondor arrived, via ship, in the Grey Havens. Pelton had come to deliver something of import to Cirdan and then sought an Elvish tracker to accompany him back to Gondor and work alongside him in common goal. Nemireth was now 114 years old and had experience as tracker, scout, hunter, guard/protector, shipwright and sailor.
Taking the sea lane south-east through Belegaer (The Great Sea), Nemireth set out with the scholar, destined for Gondor. Her time with Pelton lasted four months (mainly in search of or protection from various outlaws) before she gained word that King Eldarion required ambassadors to travel and meet the southern lords, to learn their dispositions and the strength of their loyalty. She understood the necessity of such knowledge and offered her services to the Half-Elven King, with Pelton’s blessing.
Nemireth boarded the Man ship, The Moonchaser, in Pelargir, headed for Harandor, and, then onto the City Fortress of Barad Harn.
A steadfast, loyal ally but is formidable and determined when chasing down an enemy or threat. Nemireth takes the initiative and is courageous. She is not one to sit back and let things happen around her. Although she does prefer to observe and learn from situations, events and people - a wisdom of life she has adopted over her long years.
She has a steady disposition generally but her feelings/emotions can run deep like an ocean. It is not hard for her to make friends in each town that she travels through/visits. That is why she is good at gathering information and discovering her quarry. It helps that she has good intuition (and common sense).
Nemireth does not talk needlessly - she will speak when she has something to say or add to a conversation or topic.
She is not easily swayed by general opinion or pressure and is proud of her accomplishments (both on land and sea).
She possesses a natural grace and confidence.

--------------------
Special Abilities
--------------------
Track (Ex): A bounty hunter adds half her level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow or identify tracks.
Sneak Attack (Ex): If a bounty hunter can catch an opponent when she is unable to defend herself effectively from his attack, he can strike a vital spot for extra damage.
The bounty hunter's attack deals extra damage anytime her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the bounty hunter flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and increases by 1d6 every two bounty hunter levels thereafter. Should the bounty hunter score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.
With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage (like a sap, whip, or an unarmed strike), a bounty hunter can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual –4 penalty.
The bounty hunter must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A bounty hunter cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment. This is the same as the rogue ability.
Worth More Alive (Ex): At 2nd level, a bounty hunter learns how to bring them in alive. If she so chooses, her sneak attack damage counts as nonlethal damage, even if delivered with a lethal weapon.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a bounty hunter can react to danger before her senses would normally allow her to do so. She cannot be caught flat-footed, even if the attacker is invisible. She still loses her Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. A bounty hunter with this ability can still lose her Dexterity bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses the feint action against her.
Endurance: At 3rd level, a bounty hunter gains Endurance as a bonus feat.
Skills Acrobatics +7 (+15 balancing), Climb +16, Linguistics +1, Perception +9, Stealth +11 (+15 in heavy undergrowth and tall grass), Swim +16; Racial Modifiers +8 Acrobatics when balancing, +4 Stealth (+8 in heavy undergrowth and tall grass), +4 Swim
Languages Understands Haradrim & Elven (Sindarin) but does not speak
Special (per GM’s ruling in lieu of Share Spells):
You can enter his mind and See/Hear/Smell everything he does; much like a “Warg” This power will go up in time; but that is an ability you have for now.
Each time you do this you must remain either sitting or standing and the time lasts for a period of 1 Minute. During this time Nemireth cannot act unless she interrupts the link (you can end the link early if you are in danger).
You can do this for your Wisdom Modifier+3 minutes a day (2+3=5 mins a day), though the minutes do not have to be consecutive.
* Unlike normal Animal Companions (which require Handle Animal to use and perform tricks), the panther cub is more like a Familiar. He understands what you ask of him and if he could talk to you directly, he would answer. But all you have to do is tell him to do something, and he will do it.
Link (Ex) A druid can handle her animal companion as a free action, or push it as a move action, even if she doesn’t have any ranks in the Handle Animal skill. The druid gains a +4 circumstance bonus on all wild empathy checks and Handle Animal checks made regarding an animal companion.
