hi , i used to play pathfinder first edition a long time ago.
i found a few friends that are interested in trying pnp rpg (it get harder when getting older lol)

so i went ahead and bought the second edition book , but one of my friend cant read english at all... is there a french player core anywhere ?

thanks

for those that have this book , im looking for a clarification about those :

reanimate
expended necromancy
greater reanimate

reanimate state that you can control up to twice your HD in undead and cant raise something with more than twice your HD

expended necromancy : not sure ... variant template count has twice their HD when reanimating them , do they also count twice the HD to control them ?

greater reanimate : wording is even more confusing for me ...it increase the number of HD by 1 per CL , but im unsure if its for the total controlled , for the *cant raise more than twice your HD at the same time* , or does it increase both

-------------------------------------

for reference :

Expanded Necromancy

When you reanimate a creature, you may reanimate it as a bloody skeleton, burning skeleton, fast zombie, or plague zombie. When reanimating a creature in this way, they count as twice their Hit Dice against the total amount you may have reanimated at once.

Greater Reanimate

Increase the total Hit Dice of creatures you may have reanimated at once by an additional 1 per caster level. You may select
this talent up to 3 times.

when creating a variant like bloody , its double the HD to create.

so a 2HD bloody count has 4HD when casting animate dead.

after its been created , to control him ...does it count for 2HD or 4HD

hello everyone.

We are playing a mid tier *evil* campaign right now , and the wizard would like to turn into a lich in the long run.

we looked at the lich template , noticed its CR +2
What does it mean for players ... is it equivalent to 2 levels ?
like after the required ritual , the magic overpower him and he loose two levels ?

looking at all the bonuses (DR , touch attack , paralysis etc)
it seem that a lich would be more powerful than a wizard two level higher ...
how do you guys deal with that ?

we are also opened to use almost all third party stuff (unless DM decide its utterly broken)

thanks

is there a way to put a activation command on brillant energy weapon (turn it on/off)?

dire tiger have grab ability on both his bite and claw attack,lets say that tiger charge something (5 attacks with pounce).

he hit on his first attack (bite) and decide to use the free grapple manoeuver, he succeed ... what happen now ?
they both gain grappled condition , does that mean the other 4 attacks cant be executed ?

in PRD at grappled it say that you get a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and combat maneuver checks, except those made to grapple or escape a grapple. but i assume that you can only attack when you win a grapple manoeuver ?
in PRD at grapple : Once you are grappling an opponent, a successful check allows you to continue grappling the foe, and also allows you to perform one of the following actions (as part of the standard action spent to maintain the grapple)....

i really want a barbarian with wild shape ability
just wandering if you guys think its kinda balanced.

remove: fast movement , trap sense , both uncanny dodge

for armor: only leather/fur/hide

what it gain:
you choose a totem (like in the druid shaman archetype (lion/ape/bear etc))
at lvl 2 you get the totem transformation you took

after that you get the druid wild shape progression but can only change in the totem you took

wild shape act like beast shape spell I to III

beast shape II for a large animal = Large animal: If the form you take is that of a Large animal, you gain a +4 size bonus to your Strength, a –2 penalty to your Dexterity, and a +4 natural armor bonus.

i just want to make sure that those bonus goes over your normal form stats and not the animal form.

exemple the druid have 14 str , 14 dex and no Natural armor
while in wild shape he would have 18 str , 12 dex and +4 nat armor (whatever the form he assume)

what seem really wrong to me here ... if i assume a dire tiger form , when i look at the *normal* dire tiger from the bestiary. They have +6 natural armor and Str 27, Dex 15, Con 17

even if i start with 20 str i will still be short and im not even talking about my constitution.

am i missing something ?

when a class ask for this alignment restriction ... its neutral on which axe ? good/evil or law/chaos

is it: LN,N,CN

is it: NG,N,NE

is it: LN,NG,N,CN,NE

i want to put a mithral breastplate on a lion animal companion.
how much would it cost ?
unusual creature of large size is 4x cost 2x weight
breastplate is 200gp , 200x4=800gp

since its 2x heavier does that mean i have to double the mithral price ? from +4000gp to +8000gp ?

so 4800gp or 8800gp ?

thanks

was looking at the multiattack feat that companion get at level 9.

An animal companion gains Multiattack as a bonus feat if it has three or more natural attacks and does not already have that feat. If it does not have the requisite three or more natural attacks, the animal companion instead gains a second attack with its primary natural weapon, albeit at a –5 penalty.

lets say my companion is a lion
they have 1 bite + 2 claws (all primary)

does that count for 3 natural attack, so i get nothing out of the feat , or does it count has 2 natural attack bite+claw, so i would get another bite attack at a -5

with this skill you can deliver touch spell through your weapon has a free attack. what happen if you miss ? do you hold the charge like a normal touch spell ? if so, does it discharge during your normal attack (while using spellcombat) ?

lets say your a rogue (training disable device) and you add a fighter level (gaining 2 skill point + int) ,
since the last level you added dont have disable device has a class skill , do you need to put 2 points to add 1 ranks or does it still a class skill since you had rogue level before?

in the darkness description it says :
Nonmagical sources of light, such as torches and lanterns, do not increase the light level in an area of darkness.

does that mean that : if your in a cave (no sunlight) and there some torch on the wall , if you cast darkness you will get total darkness since the torch wont be able to increase the light level , and that the *normal* light level without the torch would be total darkness ?

in the invisibility spell , it say that you become visible if you attack somebody

what happen if a ninja sneak on someone while invisible and do a full round attack
do he get +2 on attack roll and sneak attack dmg only on the first attack or does he get those bonuses on all his attacks at that initiative?

at first i thought only on the first one , but after that i thought about how initiative interact with combat , especially when you attack someone that never had a chance to play (lower ini on the first round)
on that exemple the poor guy is flat footed on all the attacks , not only the first one.

thought ?

from PRD : Glamered: Upon command, a suit of glamered armor changes shape and appearance to assume the form of a normal set of clothing. The armor retains all its properties (including weight) when it is so disguised. Only a true seeing spell or similar magic reveals the true nature of the armor when disguised.

since it say that the armor actually change shape , can we assume that a medium or heavy armor in *cloth mode* wont make someone fatigued after sleeping in it ?

hi

i want to know if a monk use bracer of armor , does he loose all his special ability that tied to *not wearing armor*

same thing if we somehow enchant his robe/kimono using the same enhancement chart than armor ?
if so , is there a way to add +dodge instead of enhancement to armor ?

i never been sure about this , might has well ask

lets say i wanna make a mithral longsword , normal weight is 4 lbs
mithral is 500gp/lbs and it also says that item made of it weight half has much than regular item
so the longsword would weight 2 lbs

does the 500gp/lbs is for the regular weight or the modified weight ?
(2000 or 1000 gp ?)

thanks for your time

hello , i aint sure where to post this question , hopefully its in the right forum

when i go in my downloads page , i see a lot of errata about the core rulebook , at which page in the book we see the print version ? cant seem to find it so i dont know which errata to download

thanks for your time

we have a question about the paladin mercy , if you take the one that remove fatigue status , can you sleep in your armor , or dont sleep at all , and then use a lay on hand on you to remove it ? will the fatigue come back after one hour or not ?

thanks
