Rebounding assault is asinine in my opinion. Not as a lame as black powder boost, but a close second.

Why would I bother adding the force of my bullets to a melee weapon strike when I can just add the force of my bullets directly to my target? A middle-man is not required in this exchange.

And how does forward momentum translate to backwards rebound so I can retrieve my weapon?

I'm sorry but there's nothing cool about this feature.

I have an idea about rage.

A barbarian enters rage and stays enraged for as long as there is a perceivable threat up to 1 minute (higher level fights or giant set-piece encounters can last that long).

At the end of 1 minute, the barbarian must make a Constitution save/check to maintain rage. The longer they stay in it, the harder the check.

If they fail, they come out of rage and are fatigued for X amount of time. The barbarian can choose to end rage at any time, at which point they are fatigued for as long as they spent raging.

The barbarian can do this a number of times per day equal to their constitution modifier. So the hardier the barbarian, the more they can endure

Now I do realize that that will mean most of the time barbarians wont see the end of their rage naturally, but that feels more in tune with how I see barbarians. The brutish marauders that pillage endlessly, slay foes tirelessly, etc, etc.

And just for fun, if you want some unpredictability, have them make will saves the longer they stay enraged to see if they can recognize friend from foe.

That'd be fun and scary. haha

Anyway, that's my long-winded two cents.

Can confirm. Here's a link to the DA gallery for easy access.

I hope geniekin get some more loving here. I'm guessing this isn't the book for them, but I can still dream.

Oh man, as someone who is deep in GMing Second Darkness as well, (currently entering book 5) I can say I would love to see a complete overhaul on the campaign as well. I love the story, but I've all but rebuilt the plot to better suit my tastes.

If I may, I would like to voice the changes I made and see what other's think. I'm putting them behind spoilers just in case. Hope that's not a problem.

Books 4&5 will have incomplete lists as I'm still figuring things out.

Book 6: Don't really anticipate changing too much from this.

Anyway, that's what I've done. Curious to know what other's think.

Hmm, it's a pretty unspectacular way to see a player killed off but it seems like maybe my hands are tied.

Hey everbody, I'm GMing Second Darkness and my players are about to start Memory of Darkness. I have a potential issue though I could use some advice on.

One of my players is playing an CE Suli and I'm not sure how to handle that character entering Thorn's End given the Maleficus Spike.

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/artifacts/minor-artifacts/maleficus-spi ke/

I know the character doesn't have the evil subtype mentioned in the artifact, but they are still and outsider and of an evil persuasion.

So my questions are:

- should they still be affected by it; perhaps at the 4d6 level?

Or

- do I not have any issue here and they'll be just fine?

Thanks in advance!

Point-Blank Shot wrote:

Benefit: You get a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons at ranges of up to 30 feet.

No mention of increments there at all--just bonuses to hit and damage when the target is within thirty feet.

I guess my interpretation of how PBS works was just really poor. I thought it implied that it made any ranged weapon's first range increment 30ft, ignoring anything lesser, allowing for the highest possible attack bonus at that range.

I'm used to a ranger with a bow and that's what the feat feels like it's doing for me (which is why I interpreted it as such) but gunslingers are still new to me so I'm trying to figure them out.

That's what I thought. Thanks!

Hello, have a quick question and seem to be having trouble finding a pre-existing answer for it, so here it goes:

Revolvers have a 20ft range increment and point blank shot says that it gives a +1 to ATT/DMG on ranged attacks up to 30ft. Pretty straight forward I should think.

So if I have a level 9 gunslinger, +5 dex, +1 revolver with point blank shot, my attack bonuses should be +16/+11 at both 20 and 30 feet? I mean that's what point blank shot does, right?

I'm not missing/forgetting anything am I? I'm prone to do that.

I'd like to see some alternate racial traits that make elemental races better at elemental things besides sorcerer bloodlines, like the keneticist as people have said.

Alternate racial traits for the genie-kin to make them better at being kineticist would be cool.

This would excellent! And if it hasn't already been mentioned, it would be awesome for more racial archetypes and favored class options for the genekin as well. I just feel like they don't get enough love.

UGGGGHHHH, twofold noob mistake. I meant focus weapon when said sacred weapon... also, totally didn't even occur to me I was applying that to my shield as well.

Thank you guys for setting me straight.

Hello people of the paizo boards, looking for quick aid making sure my numbers are right. I thought I knew this stuff pretty well, but I'm currently in doubt with a character I've built.

I have a lvl 1 warpriest with STR 15 and I'm carrying a scimitar (sacred weapon, so +1 to ATT) and heavy steel shield.

For TWF attack bonuses, they should be -3/-7 right? -6 for the primary hand and -10 for the offhand given it's heavy. Not that I'm actually looking to TWF, like I said, just want to make sure my numbers are right

My reason for positing this question is I use PCGen to build character, and right now it's telling me I'm at -3/-8 total and I don't know where the additional -1 is coming from.

Halp!

Hey thanks for reminding of fact both spells already mention they do apply bonuses. I think I knew that but somehow forgot lol. It's good to know that I was actually right and not just powergaming/munchkining.

Under the acrobatics skill it states "Creatures with a base land speed above 30 feet receive a +4 racial bonus on Acrobatics checks made to jump for every 10 feet of their speed above 30 feet."

I have two questions based on that line:

1.) Would a barbarian/bloodrager technically qualify for the bonus?
I quote:
Fast Movement (Ex)

A barbarian's land speed is faster than the norm for her race by +10 feet. This benefit applies only when he is wearing no armor, light armor, or medium armor, and not carrying a heavy load. Apply this bonus before modifying the barbarian's speed because of any load carried or armor worn. This bonus stacks with any other bonuses to the barbarian's land speed.

Flavor-wise, any race utilized for either class has been trained, conditioned, etc. to be naturally faster than normal. Therefore, in my opinion, I find it reasonable to assume that a character would gain the racial bonus on acrobatics. Am I wrong? Am I just munchkining?

2.) Would other bonuses to my base speed apply; such as enhancements from spells like Expeditious Retreat or Haste? Or even the elemental movement from the elemental bloodline? For the duration of those effects, I am natural faster than normal, therefore, in my opinion... repeat previous sentiment.

If anyone has any thoughts, comments, criticisms, etc... please feel free to share them.

Thanks!

Cool, thanks guys. I appreciate the responses.

Hey everybody, I have a question about the EA's unarmed strike damage... namely, what is it?

I can't seem to find any mention of what it is. Is it just a 1d3 like a normal unarmed strike or do they get the scaling damage like a monk? If someone could point me in the direction of where to find the answer, that would be awesome.

Thanks in advance!
