T is for trap, but i can't find anything for the C area A5 and the F area 8a.

Good evening,
Does the Globe of Invulnerability negate the magical properties of weapons or items?

Quote:
An immobile, faintly shimmering magical sphere surrounds you and excludes all spell effects of 3rd level or lower. The area or effect of any such spells does not include the area of the lesser globe of invulnerability. Such spells fail to affect any target located within the globe. Excluded effects include spell-like abilities and spells or spell-like effects from items. Any type of spell, however, can be cast through or out of the magical globe. Spells of 4th level and higher are not affected by the globe, nor are spells already in effect when the globe is cast. The globe can be brought down by a dispel magic spell. You can leave and return to the globe without penalty.

spiritual ally wrote:
Each round after the first, you can move the spiritual ally as a swift action. It has a speed of 30 feet, and a fly speed of 30 feet (perfect maneuverability). Being a construct of force, the spiritual ally cannot be harmed by any physical attacks, but dispel magic, disintegrate, a sphere of annihilation, or a rod of cancellation affects it. A spiritual ally‘s AC against touch attacks is 10.

What happend if the cleric who summon the spiritual die? The spiritual allie continue to fight the same target or it stop to act?

spiritual weapon wrote:
Each round after the first, you can use a move action to redirect the weapon to a new target. If you do not, the weapon continues to attack the previous round’s target. On any round that the weapon switches targets, it gets one attack. Subsequent rounds of attacking that target allow the weapon to make multiple attacks if your base attack bonus would allow it to. Even if the spiritual weapon is a ranged weapon, use the spell’s range, not the weapon’s normal range increment, and switching targets still is a move action.

Thanks for the answers.

As a DM, I dominate a barbarian with Dominate Person:

I asked him to attack his allies, and allow him another save with a +2 bonus.

My players told me that the barbarian need a new save every round.

Dominate person SRD wrote:
Subjects resist this control, and any subject forced to take actions against its nature receives a new saving throw with a +2 bonus.

Is there any clear answer on that?

We, my player and I just finish the Plunder and peril modules, and I'm looking for a follow up.

I can't play skulls and Shackles.
What about 3pp product.
Razor Coast seem nice, but i can't find for what level this campaign is design for.

I already own the "raid the Emperor’s Hand", but it's for 8th level character, do you know of any campaign setting that would go from 7th to 14 and more levels?

Hi folks,
If climbing provoques an AOO what if that climbing is part of a movement that bring the climbers closer to the enemy with a reach or around him.

Do the PC have 2 AOO's, one for climbing and 1 from moving around a target or only one because the climbing is part of the movement?

EX: The PC climb over a table to move around a NPC to gain flanking bonus, so he move 3 square around the NPC.

And where can I found the ruling that support your argument?
[quotes]Table: Wands gives sample prices for wands created at the lowest possible caster level for each spellcasting class. [/quotes]
Doesn't mean that it has to stay that way?

Edit: There is the rule:

Saving Throws Against Magic Item Powers
Magic items produce spells or spell-like effects. For a saving throw against a spell or spell-like effect from a magic item, the DC is 10 + the level of the spell or effect + the ability modifier of the minimum ability score needed to cast that level of spell.

Staves are an exception to the rule. Treat the saving throw as if the wielder cast the spell, including caster level and all modifiers to save DCs.

Most item descriptions give saving throw DCs for various effects, particularly when the effect has no exact spell equivalent (making its level otherwise difficult to determine quickly).

One of my player playing a crossblood sorcerer/ admixture wizard craft wand.
Did he had the trait effect (metamagic level reduce by 1 level) and the cross blood effect on every single wand of magic missile he craft?

Level 1
tumbling magic missile 1d4+4
Level 3
Tumbling magic missile 2d4+7
Level 5
Tumbling magic missile 3d4+10

Cross blood +1/dice (orc) +1/dice (dragon) +1/spell (admixture)

Switch Quickened and Intensified spell. It will be much more tempting to throw an Intensified Empowered Fireball (20d6) as a 4th level than throwing a Quickened Fireball (10d6) as a 5th.

Nice

Meirril wrote:
See if your GM will allow you to retrain Scribe Scroll for Craft: Wonderous Items at 3rd level, and again retrain Wonderous Items for Rod as soon as you qualify. If your GM won't go for that, then use your 10th level feat to pick up a crafting feat and get as much crafting done as you can before you hit 15th level. You'll need to retrain it to a metamagic feat to support your build but missing a really expensive metamagic before you hit spell perfection won't hurt you.

I'm not quite sure my DM is open with Retraining.

Meirril wrote:
Save yourself a few days of retraining and start specializing in Fireball at 5th level. You'll still use burning arc occasionally, but fireball is going to be your main stay. Even at 7th level switching to Fireball means using Heighten to raise the DC by 1 until you get Empower.

I don't understand your point, at uneven level, the prefered spell can be change without retraining.

Meirril wrote:
Consider changing one of your starting traits into one that gives you +1 CL for fireball. Outsider(lore seeker) is really powerful for this, but you need an Iron Gods campaign trait so its not available. Still check if the GM is ok with you taking a Campaign(Any) trait instead of the Iron Gods' one.

The DM insist on that one.

Meirril wrote:
Grab items that support your ability to fireball. If you can manage it, ring of Wizardry 3 will be huge. Also items that increase your CL like Orange Ioun Stone are good when your lower level. But by the time you can afford it...probably not worth getting.

That will be gane dependant... It seem that we never have tyme to craft in Adventure path...

Meirril wrote:
Lesser Rods of Metamagic are your best friend. A cheap Lesser Rod of Intensify will be huge by the time you can craft it. Silence is just too good of an idea to ignore. The big money Quicken and Maximize are going to get full effect, but you'd probably be better off spending on lesser metamagics you can't do but will occasionally want.

That will be game dependant.

Burning arc is human (Keleshite) only, you're an elf and the wayang spellhunter trait says you're from Minata. It's not an option - twice over!

I don't know of other trait that give that option. Probably better to stay humain then.

Just about everything you've got there depends on a reflex save. Some enemies have good reflex saves and evasion, or even improved evasion. You might want to think about having a few attacks which target Will or something else.

I don't know of blast spell that are not save against Reflex. I didn't select other than evocation spell for the exercise.

Identifying enemies so that you know which element to use is going to be important to you. You might want items which give bonuses to your lower knowledge skills eventually.

My group begin the first confrontation with the glyph in the last chapter of second darkness.

Spoiler:
As per the power of the watching glyph, Allevrah can help with her spell, and the PC can hurt her, how are they supposed to survived those encounter against 9th spell level. They are still level 14 and she is untouchable level 18th cleric...

Scarab Sages

Hi folks, my players just enter Artrosa, by the crone entry. The first encounter is with UNGRIST the pukwudgie. They try diplomatie with him plaiding that they are envoys from Baba Yaga. Why would the prison's guardians would attack Baba Yaga?

Scarab Sages

Echoes of earthfall area C1 impact crater

It's not clear for me how long it takes for the PC to climb down the cliff.
The haunt does 6d6 exploding damage per rounds. As the PC are level 4, they can't deal with repeating fireball for long!
Thanks

That make sens to me!

Does a mounted rider is subject to AOO if his mount make a retrait move?

The rider strike, then the mount moves away.

SO, it's only a perception check.

Scarab Sages

I have a NPC casting spell on himself a few rooms away from my PC's squad.

I'm am right with the malus/ bonus

Stealth: +17
distance: 1 floor = 20 feet (+2)
shortest path = 80 feet (+8)
Non visible = +20
Perception = 36
Base DC = 0

mDice 1d20+17+20+10-20-36

Scarab Sages

Did anybody made a herolab portfolio for that adventure path? If yes, are you willing to share it?

Scarab Sages

Yes it cause spell failure:
A deafened character cannot hear. He takes a –4 penalty on initiative checks, automatically fails Perception checks based on sound, takes a –4 penalty on opposed Perception checks, and has a 20% chance of spell failure when casting spells with verbal components. Characters who remain deafened for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them.

Scarab Sages

Ok, I'll go with both arguments. Thanks.

Scarab Sages

Where is the rule saying that "miss chances" don't stack?

d20prd wrote:

Concealment Miss Chance

Concealment gives the subject of a successful attack a 20% chance that the attacker missed because of the concealment. Make the attack normally—if the attacker hits, the defender must make a miss chance d% roll to avoid being struck. Multiple concealment conditions do not stack.

That's obvious, because same kind of malus don't stack, but Armor penalty and deafness are not the same!

d20prd wrote:

Bonus Types

Usually, a bonus has a type that indicates how the spell grants the bonus. The important aspect of bonus types is that two bonuses of the same type don’t generally stack. With the exception of dodge bonuses, most circumstance bonuses, and racial bonuses, only the better bonus of a given type works. The same principle applies to penalties- a character taking two or more penalties of the same type applies only the worst one, although most penalties have no type and thus always stack. Bonuses without a type always stack, unless they are from the same source.

Scarab Sages

Hi
are the Arcane failure % stacking?

A Sorceress with an armor (15% spell failure) became deaf. I asked for a 35% spell failure, but my player roll twice, once for the armor and the second one for the deaf condition.

Is there a rule somewhere stating on that?

Arcane Spell Failure Chance wrote:


Armor interferes with the gestures that a spellcaster must make to cast an arcane spell that has a somatic component. Arcane spellcasters face the possibility of arcane spell failure if they’re wearing armor. Bards can wear light armor and use shields without incurring any arcane spell failure chance for their bard spells.

Casting an Arcane Spell in Armor: A character who casts an arcane spell while wearing armor must usually make an arcane spell failure check. The number in the Arcane Spell Failure Chance column on Table: Armor and Shields is the percentage chance that the spell fails and is ruined. If the spell lacks a somatic component, however, it can be cast with no chance of arcane spell failure.

Shields: If a character is wearing armor and using a shield, add the two numbers together to get a single arcane spell failure chance.

Deafened wrote:

A deafened character cannot hear. He takes a –4 penalty on initiative checks, automatically fails Perception checks based on sound, takes a –4 penalty on opposed Perception checks, and has a 20% chance of spell failure when casting spells with verbal components. Characters who remain deafened for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them.

Spoiler for PC stay away:
My player are in the The Shrine of Bound Earth and after killing some bad drow, they trust the actual occupant, Denrelwe Azrinae to look for the first rune in the Hanging forest were the will only meet the drider, but much more, they trust Denrelwe to give them an actual image of the destination to teleport themself in the forest 200 or 240 miles away. So, with limited wish, Denrelwe send them a very accurate image of the destination with false vision. They will be send far away in a very attractive place of the underworld.

So I'm looking for a nice place to send a party of 5 way back from the runes.

Do you have any idea

SO the AOO is during the action and not prior, so in that case you are no longer FF.
That make sens. Thanks.

Scarab Sages

As the AOO arrives during the action,

Quote:
An attack of opportunity "interrupts" the normal flow of actions in the round. If an attack of opportunity is provoked, immediately resolve the attack of opportunity, then continue with the next character's turn (or complete the current turn, if the attack of opportunity was provoked in the midst of a character's turn).

Are you still flatfooted if you provoke AOO on your first round if the enemy moved before you.

Ex: Sam strike Bob. As Bob did not move yet, he is FF, but on Bod's turn, he moved away from Sam provoking an AOO. Do we consider Bob still Flat footed?

Please quoted the rules if any.

Quote:
Flat-Footed: At the start of a battle, before you have had a chance to act (specifically, before your first regular turn in the initiative order), you are flat-footed. You can't use your Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) while flat-footed. Barbarians and rogues of high enough level have the uncanny dodge extraordinary ability, which means that they cannot be caught flat-footed. Characters with uncanny dodge retain their Dexterity bonus to their AC and can make attacks of opportunity before they have acted in the first round of combat. A flat-footed character can't make attacks of opportunity, unless he has the Combat Reflexes feat.

Scarab Sages

Maybe i'm focusing too much on the "umbral" aspect of that PC!
With the very short list of spells and feat, It's probably overkill.

Scarab Sages

DC +1 and CL +1 for Tenebrous spell<
DC +1 for spell in dim light (Umbral bloodline) or Shadow bloodline
and prerequisite for umbral spell shadow grasp
Not so bab if you want to focus in shadow spell

PfSRD wrote:

Umbral Spell (Metamagic)

Targets of your darkness spells radiate darkness.

Prerequisite: Tenebrous Spell.

Benefit: An umbral spell gains the darkness descriptor. As long as the spell is in effect, the creature or object affected radiates darkness in a 10-foot radius, reducing illumination similar to the effects of the darkness spell. Nonmagical sources of light, such as torches or lanterns, do not increase the light level in this area. Magical light sources only increase the light level in an area affected by an umbral spell if they are of a higher level than the umbral spell’s unmodified spell level. This effect does not stack with itself or with any other effect that creates darkness.

Level Increase: +2 (an umbral spell uses up a spell slot two levels higher than the spell’s actual level.)

You cannot use this feat on a spell with an instantaneous duration or a spell that does not target a creature or object.

Quote:

Shadow Grasp (Metamagic)

Your darkness spells have substance and bind your foes.

Prerequisites: Tenebrous Spell, Umbral Spell.

Benefit: When you cast a spell with the darkness descriptor that affects an area, creatures in the area are entangled. If the spell allows a saving throw, a successful save negates the entangle effect. If the spell does not normally allow a save, a creature can make a Reflex save (DC = the spell’s DC if it had a saving throw) to negate the effect. If the spell allows spell resistance, failing to overcome a creature’s spell resistance means it is not entangled. An entangled creature remains so as long as it is in the area of the spell and for 1 round after it leaves. A creature that leaves and reenters the area must make a new saving throw to avoid becoming entangled. Creatures that succeed at a save to resist being entangled do not have to make additional saves if they stay within the darkened area. You are never impeded by the effects of your spells modified by this feat.

Level Increase: +1 (a shadow grasp spell uses up a slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.)[/quoted]

Scarab Sages

SirCorius wrote:

The descriptors for the Tenebrous Spell Metamagic Feat and the Umbral Wildblooded Arcana are fairly similar but not exact.

Tenebrous Spell (Metamagic)
You blend shadow into your spells, increasing their efficacy at the price of susceptibility to light.

Benefit: When you cast a tenebrous spell in darkness or dim light, the spell’s effective caster level and any associated save DCs are increased by 1. Any attempts at dispelling a tenebrous spell in darkness or dim light take a –2 penalty on the dispel check.

Casting a tenebrous spell in bright light is difficult, and requires a concentration check (DC 15 + twice the tenebrous spell’s effective spell level). Attempts to dispel a tenebrous spell in bright light gain a +4 bonus on the dispel check.

You cannot use this feat on spells with the light descriptor. A tenebrous spell uses up a spell Slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level, except in the case of spells with the darkness or shadow descriptor or of the illusion (shadow) subschool; this feat does not change the effective level of those spells (but still counts as using a metamagic feat for all other purposes).

Umbral Bloodline Arcana:

Whenever you cast a spell in an area of dim light or darkness, your effective caster level is increased by 1.

My question is since they both increase caster levels by 1 in dim light and darkness would they stack? I would think they would given the completely different nature of the sources and the extra weaknesses associated with tenebrous. If they don't, however, how would one get access to Umbral and Shadow Grasp metamagic without wasting a feat?

As 3 years passed without an answer, I wonder if I should asked the same question or only reply... I'm looking for an answer.

Scarab Sages

As a spell specifically design for incorporeal, It's effectivly a waste if only 50% + will save.

Scarab Sages

Gostbane's threats are hard to kill, they endlessly revive... But Is there an official answer about that?
Do Incorporeals creatures get 50% chances only to be affect by Gosthbane dirge?

Sorry for the Necro, but i believes it's better to revevie than to start a new threat.

Scarab Sages

Nothing else?

Scarab Sages

It's what I believed, but they looking for fact... Is there any precision somewhere?

Scarab Sages

In one of my game the priest cast a magic circle to protect her friends and the were attacked by a Summoned Lion (evil as the caster) One of the protected allies attack with a reach weapon the lion breaking the circle. The lion strike back on the nearest player.

That player argued that the lion cannot because the lion can only attack the one who broke the circle.

The rules said:
MAGIC CIRCLE AGAINST EVIL: All creatures within the area gain the effects of a protection from evil spell, and evil summoned creatures cannot enter the area either.

MAGIC CIRCLE AGAINST EVIL: Area 10-ft.-radius emanation from touched creature

PROTECTION FROM EVIL: Target creature touched
PROTECTION FROM EVIL: This spell wards a creature from attacks by evil creatures, from mental control, and from summoned creatures... The protection against contact by summoned creatures ends if the warded creature makes an attack against or tries to force the barrier against the blocked creature.

AS the magic circle affect an area and not a creature, my point is the rules should be: This spell wards a creature an area from attacks by evil creatures, from mental control, and from summoned creatures.... The protection against contact by summoned creatures ends if the warded creature makes an attack an attack from the inside of the protected circle is made against or tries to force the barrier against the blocked creature.
Thus, if anyone inside the area attack, the protection againt evil summoned creature ends.

Scarab Sages

Are undead affected by Blinding Critical?

Quote:

Blinding Critical (Combat, Critical)

Your critical hits blind your opponents.

Prerequisites: Critical Focus, base attack bonus +15.
Benefit: Whenever you score a critical hit, your opponent is permanently blinded. A successful Fortitude save reduces this to dazzled for 1d4 rounds. The DC of this Fortitude save is equal to 10 + your base attack bonus. This feat has no effect on creatures that do not rely on eyes for sight or creatures with more than two eyes (although multiple critical hits might cause blindness, at the GM's discretion). Blindness can be cured by heal, regeneration, remove blindness, or similar abilities.
Special: You can only apply the effects of one critical feat to a given critical hit unless you possess Critical Mastery.

Quote:
Undead trait: Immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects or is harmless).

In my understanding, they are immune.
