It's ambiguous, but it makes sense that it wouldn't stack. Cast once, take CON; again and take STR, etc, etc. Second casting overwrites the first, etc, yes/no? Sources? ...and Yes, I know multiple enhancement bonuses of he same type won't stack.

Human Potential:
The target chooses one ability score and gains a +2 enhancement bonus to that ability score. The bonus confers the usual benefit to skills and abilities based on the ability enhanced, but does not affect bonus spells or skill ranks.


Let's say that you have a character (non-magus) holding a touch attack charge that quick draws a second weapon and full-attacks - say at +16/+11, +15/+10. How does this play out?


Playing an evil character. Anyway, say, the character has Stunning Barrier up, gets hit and the mob fails the save – stunned for 1 round. Is that enough time for a full-round-action Coup de grace?


Lets say you're about to GM some unnamed adventure path.
Say it's a 15 point buy.
Now before the AP begins you offer the following choices to your players. Rolled, picked by lot, etc, etc. One choice per player - no duplicate choices.

I'm wondering if any of these are stronger than the next.
What would you add, subtract? Never mind it unbalancing the AP. Adjustments can be made.

1)
You gain one additional trait; open to traits from other campaigns.
You may count things granted by a PrC towards meeting the requirements of the PrC.
Whenever you gain a level, you may use retraining taking zero days - 50% cost.

2)
You gain the ancestral weapon trait.
You gain the Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat
You gain the Elven Battle Focus feat.
You gain the Craft Magic Arms and Armor feat.
You gain Skill Focus Craft Magic Arms and Armor

3)
You may make stealth checks, even while observed, at no penalty.
For the rest of your turn, your melee sneak attacks work regardless of immunity to precision damage. You may do this the number of times per day equal to half your level + your highest attribute modifier.
Your armor check penalty for AC is equal to your DEX modifier.
You gain the trap Spotter Rogue talent.

4)
You gain the Craft Wands feat.
You gain Skill Focus UMD.
You gain the Pragmatic Activator trait.
You may use a wand as an SLA as long as it's in your possession - ie, a bag.
You start the game with a 3rd level wand with ten charges.

5)
You gain the bonus spell list from one Sorcerer bloodline. Whenever you heal an ally during combat with a "cure" spell, you may spontaneously cast an equal level spell or lower off your Sorcerer bonus spell list as a swift action. You may do this the number of times per day equal to your highest attribute modifier.

6)
You may use a 25 point character buy.


Is there a way for a none Sorcerer to qualify for Eldritch Heritage without having CHA 13? ...say you want to use INT for example, or some other means.


8 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

Do I gain the bonuses granted by Monkey Fist if I enter an opponent’s square through a means other than the method outlined in feat description? Same question for Mouser.


Several rounds pass with a Rogue making attacks.
With combat raging, the Rogue shoots a smoke arrow into a square, enters that square and attempts to stealth.

Legal, yes?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Besides killing them at range, what are your go-to methods to bring down a flyer that is using winged or magical flight?

Secondarily, what happens if you blind a flyer and it misses the DC10 acrobatics check to move faster than half speed?


Basic Long Jump Rules:

The DC is equal to the distance you wish to travel – a 5-foot long jump is DC5, etc.
Double the DC if you don’t move at least 10-feet before your attempt.
Total distance jumped can’t exceed your base movement.

Say, I have a character with 40 base movement and +20 Acrobatics.
Say, I have none of the fancy feats that apply to jumping.
The square I am in and those behind me are normal terrain.
My final destination is 8 squares away all of it difficult terrain – say, rubble or knee high water… whatever.
How do I go about getting there, expending the least movement using acrobatic rolls?

In detail, describe the process.


Roll With It (Combat, Goblin):
Benefit: If you are struck by a melee weapon you can try to convert some or all of that damage into movement that sends you off in an uncontrolled bouncing roll. To do so, you must make an Acrobatics check (DC = 5 + the damage dealt from the attack) as an immediate action. If you succeed in this check, you take no damage from the actual attack but instead convert that damage into movement with each point equating to 1 foot of movement.

Mob has an attack that if sucessful grants a grab attempt.
Goblin has the Roll With It ability feat.

Mob attacks the Goblin and beats the Goblins AC. The Goblin is to be dealt 18 damage followed by a grab attempt that would be easily sucessful. The Goblin rolls a 25 to "Roll with it" to avoid the damage.

Does grab apply before "Roll with it"?


Major Magic (Sp):
Benefit: A rogue with this talent gains the ability to cast a 1st-level spell from the sorcerer/wizard spell list two times a day as a spell-like ability. The caster level for this ability is equal to the rogue's level. The save DC for this spell is 11 + the rogue's Intelligence modifier.

1. Besides rest, is there a way to recharge uses?
2. Can I buy a wand of or a scroll of the spell I choose?
Say like a Wand of Mage armor and not have to UMD it because it was my Major Magic choice.

*edited*


Say you are a level 10 Slayer and take Opportunist, then at level 11 take Dirty Trick Master, assuming you’ve taken the prerequisites.

Combat ensues like this:
A party member next to the Slayer slashes a mob for damage.
The Slayer uses opportunist for a combat maneuver at applies dazzled – rolls and gets 3 rounds
On the Slayer turn they repeated and succeed on the same CM upgrading dazzled to dazed – roll and get 2 rounds + 3 earlier for 5 rounds.

The condition can be removed with a standard action.
Dazed prevents that.
Is the mob screwed for 5 rounds?

Dirty Trick Master:
Benefit(s): Whenever you successfully perform a dirty trick combat maneuver against an opponent who is still affected by a condition inflicted by a previous dirty trick (whether your own or another creature's), you can cause the condition to worsen. In addition to increasing the duration of the condition as normal, you cause an opponent who is dazzled to become dazed, entangled to become pinned, shaken to become frightened, and sickened to become nauseated. This worsened condition replaces the previous dirty trick condition, and lasts for the duration of the dirty trick (including any rounds remaining from the previous dirty trick condition) or until the opponent uses a standard action to remove the condition (whichever comes first).

Greater Dirty Trick:
Benefit: You receive a +2 bonus on checks made to attempt a dirty trick. This bonus stacks with the bonus granted by Improved Dirty Trick. Whenever you successfully perform a dirty trick, the penalty lasts for 1d4 rounds, plus 1 round for every 5 by which your attack exceeds the target’s CMD. In addition, removing the condition requires the target to spend a standard action.
Normal: The condition imposed by a dirty trick lasts for 1 round plus 1 round for every 5 by which your attack exceeds the target’s CMD. Removing the condition requires the target to spend a move action.

This Character Build:

Goblin Race ...personal choice.
1. Two Weapon Fighting
2. Finesse Rogue (Slayer)
3. Combat Expertise
4. Improved Dirty Trick (Slayer/Ranger)
5. Agile Maneuvers
6. Improved Two Weapon Fighting (Combat Trick)
7. Greater Dirty Trick
8. Quick Dirty Trick (Slayer/Ranger)
9. Kobold Style
10. Opportunist (Slayer/advanced)
11. Dirty Trick Master


This is a Dirty Trick concept build based on Ranger Combat Style (Besmara).
Using Goblin. Has 8 skill points. Could be any race/combo.
With less than 150 gold in equipment. Agile on weapons eventually.
CMB is (+17 dirty trick). Use Blind to deny DEX for sneak attacks...Standard Action to remove.
Not bad.

Quick Dirty Trick :
Benefit: On your turn, you can perform a single dirty trick combat maneuver in place of one of your melee attacks. You must choose the melee attack with the highest base attack bonus to make the dirty trick combat maneuver.

Blind:
The creature cannot see. It takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class, loses its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any), and takes a –4 penalty on most Strength- and Dexterity-based skill checks and on opposed Perception skill checks. All checks and activities that rely on vision (such as reading and Perception checks based on sight) automatically fail. All opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) against the blinded character. Blind creatures must make a DC 10 Acrobatics skill check to move faster than half speed. Creatures that fail this check fall prone. Characters who remain blinded for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them

1. Two Weapon Fighting
2. Finesse Rogue (Slayer)

Simple Question. I realize the obvious answer and the "cute" answers, but seriously: Where are the dragons?


1. I stand from pone. (move action)
2. I pull out a potion. (move action)
3. I five-foot step. (a no action, but legal since I haven’t moved)

Legal, yes?


1. You're grappled by say, a human monk.
2. You're able to cast Still and Silent.
3. You do that to cast levitate.

By RAW, what happens?

Levitate:

Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal or close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: You or one willing creature or one object (total weight up to 100 lb./level)
Duration:1 min./level (D)

Levitate allows you to move yourself, another creature, or an object up and down as you wish. A creature must be willing to be levitated, and an object must be unattended or possessed by a willing creature. You can mentally direct the recipient to move up or down as much as 20 feet each round; doing so is a move action. You cannot move the recipient horizontally, but the recipient could clamber along the face of a cliff, for example, or push against a ceiling to move laterally (generally at half its base land speed).

A levitating creature that attacks with a melee or ranged weapon finds itself increasingly unstable; the first attack has a -1 penalty on attack rolls, the second -2, and so on, to a maximum penalty of -5. A full round spent stabilizing allows the creature to begin again at -1.


Say a caster casts a full round action spell with a range of touch, and uses a familiar to deliver it. The familar being the toucher can move off and deliver the touch in the same turn that the caster, cast it, right?

Additionally, can you use a MM Rod to cast a 3rd level spell and instead of your using your familiar add MM feat "Reach" to it and bump it to a 4th level spell slot?


"A successful check allows you to remember a bit of useful information about that monster. For every 5 points by which your check result exceeds the DC, you recall another piece of useful information."

I ususally ask:
1. What is it?
2. Does it have any weaknesses?
3. Does it have any special abilities?

What are your go to questions?


By RAW - with the appropriate appendage, tentacle, hand: can an Eidolon UMD a wand?


Full Caster Archer. Gear isn't optimized for sure. Didn't touch the spell list, other than the bonus spells. I love Misfortune, but didn't bother here.

I did apply the Aasimar favored class bonus to wood bond +3 at level 8.

Weakness: Gosh, tons. PointBlank Master requires Weapon Focus, which is good but it slows down progression to Manyshot. Feather Step Slippers was the compromise there. Always try and 5-foot step out of the way to avoid provoking. The build also ignores all of the interesting caster feats, and those progressions. Far from optimal, but it can work.

Energy body:
Energy Body (Su): As a standard action, you can transform your body into pure life energy, resembling a golden-white fire elemental. In this form, you gain the elemental subtype and give off a warm, welcoming light that increases the light level within 10 feet by one step, up to normal light. Any undead creature striking you with its body or a handheld weapon deals normal damage, but at the same time the attacker takes 1d6 points of positive energy damage + 1 point per oracle level. Creatures wielding melee weapons with reach are not subject to this damage if they attack you. If you grapple or attack an undead creature using unarmed strikes or natural weapons, you may deal this damage in place of the normal damage for the attack. Once per round, if you pass through a living allied creature's square or the ally passes through your square, it heals 1d6 hit points + 1 per oracle level. You may use this ability to heal yourself as a move action. You choose whether or not to heal a creature when it passes through your space. You may return to your normal form as a free action. You may remain in energy body form for a number of rounds per day equal to your oracle level.

Elemental Traits:

An elemental possesses the following traits (unless otherwise noted in a creature’s entry).
•Darkvision out to 60 feet.
•Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, and stunning.
•Not subject to critical hits or flanking.
•Unlike most other living creatures, an elemental does not have a dual nature—its soul and body form one unit. When an elemental is slain, no soul is set loose. Spells that restore souls to their bodies, such as raise dead, reincarnate, and resurrection, don’t work on an elemental. It takes a different magical effect, such as limited wish, wish, miracle, or true resurrection, to restore it to life.
•Proficient with natural weapons only, unless generally humanoid in form, in which case proficient with all simple weapons and any weapons mentioned in its entry.
•Proficient with whatever type of armor (light, medium, or heavy) that it is described as wearing, as well as all lighter types. Elementals not indicated as wearing armor are not proficient with armor. Elementals are proficient with shields if they are proficient with any form of armor.
•Elementals do not eat, sleep, or breathe.

1. Can a paralyzed Oracle activate Energy Body while paralyzed?
1a. If they can, does this remove or supress the condidtion?
2. While Energy Body is active do you lose the benefits of your armor/other gear?
3. If an Oracle dies while in Energy Body can they be raised if all other conditions are met?

My guesses are
1. Energy Body can be activated mentally.
2. Not Suppressed. When you leave Energy Body, the rounds remaining of the paralyzed condition are applied.
3. Yes, you benefit from armor. Guessing you can't swing a weapon, though.
4. Guessing that if you die in Energy Body form, the SU ability ends and you return to your natural form and can be raised.


Classic Ninja - Can someone explain this build to me - particularly the Flurry of Stars component of this build? I get what it can do at level 12. Adding feats you gain almost no immediate benefit from at levels 4-8 feels awefully long for a short payoff. I suppose if you're playing to level 20...

Am I missing something?

Classic Ninja Feats/Ninja Tricks level 1-12:

1: Weapon Finesse, Two-Weapon Fighting
2: Combat Trick: Weapon Focus: Wakizashi
3: Improved Initiative
4: Flurry of Stars
5: Point Blank Shot
6: Weapon Training: Weapon Focus: Shuriken
7: Rapid Shot
8: Vanishing Trick
9: Improved Two-Weapon Fighting
10: Invisible Blade
11: Dodge
12: Advanced Talents: Crippling Strike


I am toying with concept builds for PFS and I'm contemplating a Whirlwind Attack build.

Something like:
Human Ninja(scout) 10, Pal 2
ST 18 +2 Human and +2 from levels, DX 14, CN, 14, IN 13, WS 10 +1 from levels, CH 14
Traits: Defender of Society, Lessons of Chaldira

Wear +1 Mithril full plate for 23AC. UMD Mage Armor

Feats
Power Attack, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack. Then Combat Expertise, Whirlwind Attack, Lunge.

Ninja Tricks:
Vanishing Trick, Befuddling Strike, Evasion, Forgotten Trick and Invisible Blade.
Start with (2) levels of Paladin for the saves: 10/10/8 without a Cloak of Resists.

The attack routine is.
Early: Use Spring Attack to gain flanks for Sneak Attack.
Late: Use Whirlwind Attack with a 5-foot step and Lunge to apply Befuddling Strike to as many enemies as possible using a Lucerne Hammer. Invisible Blade at level 12 to get in the sneak attack on each attack.

Paladins don't use poison, but neither to do I.
With Vanishing Trick - Sneak Attack only works on the first Whirlwind victim then you become visible.
I wish I had one more feat for Combat Reflexes. Maybe Ninja 10, Fighter 2, but then the saves suffer.
Invisible Blade won't be attained until level 12...a long time to wait for the build to mature fully.
Any thoughts on this slow rolling feat starved concept build?


Channel Mercy: When you use your channel positive energy ability, you may choose to channel one of your mercies instead of healing.

Possible Options:
Usable a number of times a day equal to your channel bonus.
Usable a number of times a day equal to your charisma modifier.
Consumes 1 additional use of your channel energy ability.
Channel energy xd6 required.
Knowledge (religion) x ranks.
Heal x ranks required.

I would also like to see:
Heightened Channel: When you use your channel energy ability you heal/harm an additional +1d6 points of damage.

Options: ....see above


Have a Fighter holding a greatsword in both hands. Say, he only has his standard action remaining and wants to draw and throw a javelin at a target 30 feet away then regrip his greatsword in two hands.

Release a two-hander into your off hand[free action], draw ammo[free] and throw javelin[standard], then regrip[free]. Is that all correct? Maybe javelin isn’t considered ammo for the purposes of being thrown?


Warning: there is a spoiler for Slave PitS of Absalom here.

Pretty new to judging and I'm running season zero Slave PitS of Absalom. There is a Forman who tries to Whip and Drag. This is season zero, so info is sparse on how this happens.

Can someone help with me the action economy of how to use the Whip to both wrap it around the victim, and to then drag them...over the edge.

The Forman has the feats Exotic Weapon Proficiency (whip), Weapon Focus (whip).
Is it a grapple attack with a whip on turn one then drag on the next...all in the same turn?

Again, season zero. How do I make this work?


Does the Robe of Arcane Heritage allow a non sorcerer to take Improved Eldritch Heritage at 9th level?

Eldritch Heritage:

Prerequisites: Cha 13, Skill Focus with the class skill of bloodline selected for this feat (see below), character level 3rd.

Benefit: Select one sorcerer bloodline. You must have Skill focus in the class skill that bloodline grants to a sorcerer at 1st level (for example, Heal for the celestial bloodline). This bloodline cannot be a bloodline you already have. You gain the first-level bloodline power for the selected bloodline. For purposes of using that power, treat your sorcerer level as equal to your character level – 2, even if you have levels in sorcerer. You do not gain any of the other bloodline abilities.

For purposes of using a bloodline power, treat your sorcerer level as equal to your character level – 2, so for non sorcerers the feat that grants access to the 9th level Bloodline power isn't available until 11th level.

Example:

New Arcana:

(Ex): At 9th level, you can add any one spell from the sorcerer/wizard spell list to your list of spells known. This spell must be of a level that you are capable of casting. You can also add one additional spell at 13th level and 17th level.
Improved Eldritch Heritage:

Prerequisites: Cha 15, Eldritch Heritage, character level 11th.

Benefit: You gain either the 3rd-level or the 9th-level power (your choice) of the bloodline you selected with the Eldritch Heritage feat. For purposes of using that power, treat your sorcerer level as equal to your character level – 2, even if you have levels in sorcerer. You do not gain any of the other bloodline abilities.

Special: You may select this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you select the feat, it applies to a different bloodline power for that bloodline available at sorcerer level 3 or 9.

So, enter this item.

Robe of Arcane Heritage:

These elegant, dark purple robes are usually decorated with gold stitching suggesting a particular sorcerer bloodline, though some might indicate a family tree. When a sorcerer dons a robe of arcane heritage, the stitching pulls itself apart and reweaves to match her particular sorcerer bloodline. The wearer treats her sorcerer level as 4 higher than normal for the purpose of determining what bloodline powers she can use and their effects.

A fighter stands before a closed, unlocked door holding a reach weapon.
They wish to swap it out without dropping. They do NOT have quickdraw.

1. They sheath the reach weapon. [move action]
2. Draw another weapon, in this case one without reach. [move action, uses their standard action]

They also wish to open the door this turn. They can’t, right?

Esoteric Magic:
At each class level beyond 1st, the Arcane savant chooses a spell from any class’s spell list and thereafter treats it as if it were on the spell list of his base spellcasting classes; if his base class could not normally cast that spell, it is treated as 1 level higher. The spell’s type (arcane or divine) and save DCs function as normal for his base spellcasting class. All other restrictions of his normal spellcasting class apply. This ability does not allow other spellcasters to prepare, cast, or use spell trigger or spell completion items of esoteric spells (such as a sorcerer using a cure light wounds scroll).

"if his base class could not normally cast that spell, it is treated as 1 level higher."

Why would someone take a spell that's already on their spell list from another class? The obvious answer is to possibly lower the spell level and cast it at an earlier level, but it appears that's not legal. Okay, so if it's not legal - why the wording? What was the intent?

*edit* It just hit me that maybe this is better placed in rules. When I typed this up, I was thinking...I need advice....

Is there a FAQ on the Oracle Misfortune Revelation?
Please don't point me to Witch hex. It's apparently not the same.

Please define "results" in context with this ability.
Can you use misfortune to force yourself to reroll?
Can you use misfortune to force a party member to reroll?

I've read 1,001 posts on people's home-brewed interpretations. I'm not interested in more of the same. I'd like something real from the dev who hashed this up - a revelation. =)

What was the intent in context? An example of it in use would be ideal. ...Heck, maybe two.
