Tonights game and resulting conflict over Protection from Evil caused a rift in my game group and I'd like to appeal to the greater community for help with a rules clarification. The situation:
Hellknight#1 Summons a Bearded Devil in front of the Fighter.
The DM then proceeds to attack the Fighter with the Bearded Devil#1. I argued that with Protection from Evil, the Bearded Devil could not attack the Fighter. He argued otherwise. Long story short the night ended. The first aspect of the spell wards a creature from attacks by evil creatures.. etc. Which I believe prevents him from being attacked. The third aspect he argued that since the Fighter had attacked the Bearded Devil#1 that it could negate Protection from Evil and attack the Fighter. Which is correct? Protection from Evil Rules Text: Protection from Evil School abjuration [good]; Level cleric 1, paladin 1, sorcerer/wizard 1 Casting Time 1 standard action Components V, S, M/DF Range touch Target creature touched Duration 1 min./level (D) Saving Throw Will negates (harmless); Spell Resistance no; see text This spell wards a creature from attacks by evil creatures, from mental control, and from summoned creatures. It creates a magical barrier around the subject at a distance of 1 foot. The barrier moves with the subject and has three major effects. First, the subject gains a +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus on saves. Both these bonuses apply against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures. Second, the subject immediately receives another saving throw (if one was allowed to begin with) against any spells or effects that possess or exercise mental control over the creature (including enchantment [charm] effects and enchantment [compulsion] effects, such as charm person, command, and dominate person. This saving throw is made with a +2 morale bonus, using the same DC as the original effect. If successful, such effects are suppressed for the duration of this spell. The effects resume when the duration of this spell expires. While under the effects of this spell, the target is immune to any new attempts to possess or exercise mental control over the target. This spell does not expel a controlling life force (such as a ghost or spellcaster using magic jar), but it does prevent them from controlling the target. This second effect only functions against spells and effects created by evil creatures or objects, subject to GM discretion. Third, the spell prevents bodily contact by evil summoned creatures. This causes the natural weapon attacks of such creatures to fail and the creatures to recoil if such attacks require touching the warded creature. Summoned creatures that are not evil are immune to this effect. 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. Spell resistance can allow a creature to overcome this protection and touch the warded creature.
How would you build it? I'd like to see your thoughts! I was restricted to the Core Rule Book and the APG. I'll probably go straight Paladin after lvl 2, but I'm looking for a trait or a feat that allows me to use my Bard Arcane Spells with my Paladin Divine abilities. The group I'm joining already has a Fighter, Rogue, Sorcerer, Cleric and a few others that might join in randomly as time allows. So I went with a secondary healer/melee/support option. I went with:
Paladin lvl 1
I was looking at Ultimate Magic and found these, but not sure if they'd work well. I want my spells and abilities to overlap/stack(?) Ultimate Magic Feats:: Theurgy You can blend the power of arcane and divine magic. Prerequisites: Wis 13, Int or Cha 13, able to cast 1st-level arcane spells, able to cast 1st-level divine spells. Benefit: You can augment the power of your divine spells with arcane energy and augment your arcane spells with divine energy. When casting a divine spell, you may sacrifice an arcane spell slot or arcane prepared spell of that spell's level or higher as a swift action. The caster level for that divine spell increases by +1. When casting an arcane spell, you may sacrifice a divine spell slot or prepared divine spell of the same or higher level as a swift action. Half the damage dealt by the arcane spell becomes holy (if you channel positive energy) or unholy (if you channel negative energy). This feat wouldn't take place til I'm lvl 4 in Paladin and overall 5th lvl.
Visiting Houston, Tx & Huntsville, Tx from 13April to 20April 2011 Looking for a PFS game or two. I'm heading South and West to visit family and attend a wedding in Huntsville, TX on Saturday the 16th. I'll be spending most of the time on the North side of town near the Spring / Woodlands area and wouldn't mind picking up a few games with some local players. Can anyone recommend a local game/group or game store to visit while I'm back home in Texas.
Dwarf Druid / Ranger (Beastmaster) Build Going to start the Kingmaker adventure path soon and we rolled d6 in order for stats, so STR 10, DEX 12, CON 16, INT 14, WIS 15, CHA 11 So everyone said, "Great! You can be a druid!" I have never played a druid, so this is going to be a learning experience for me as I've mostly stuck to melee class types. I don't know what spells would be good, feat choices, equipment is limited, basically where do I go from here? As a Dwarf = STR 10, DEX 12, CON 18, INT 14, WIS 17, CHA 9 I'm cool with that. I'm not sure where to go from there. I was thinking the Animal Companion route and I read a bit elsewhere on the forums: http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/pathfinder/campaignSet ting/general/dwarfDruidsOfGolarion&page=1&source=search#0 http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/pathfinder/pathfinderR PG/advice/dwarfDruid&page=1&source=search#0 Druids from the Kingmaker Adventure path guide:
And I was able to get some good ideas. I was thinking of naming him Dar Grylls, but below are some of his character ideas for now. Its a wilderness campaign, so this combo should be fun. I think my little guy is going to kick some serious tail and be really useful. And for flavor, I think I'll give him a background as a home brewer/farmer type, i.e. wilderness campaign to create a kingdom, if my Dwarf brews it, the people will come! And, I could work with another players Alchemist Gnome. I'll start with the Bear as an animal companion, he can help carry my

Level progression -
PFRPG Book - p.48 Class Level: This is the character’s druid level. The druid’s class levels stack with levels of any other classes that are entitled to an animal companion for the purpose of determining the companion’s statistics. So the ranger/beastmaster level would stack for animal power? p. 124 Advanced Players Guide: The beast master may have more than one animal companion, but he must divide up his effective druid level between his companions to determine the abilities of each companion. For example, a beast master with an effective druid level of 4 can have one 4th-level companion, two 2nd-level companions, or one 1st-level and one 3rd-level companion. So I could get a Bear and a Bird, one for ground and the other for air or two cats, big cats that is, or two camels? Class Skills: A beast master’s class skills are Acrobatics (Dex),
Bear - maybe cast enlarge & permanent on him later.
Bird (Eagle/Hawk/Owl)
I'd also want to use this feat, possibly multiple times: Boon Companion - Seekers of Secrets - p. 16 - Your bond with your
I could have a Flock of Eagles/Hawks so by like 5th level I'd have multiple eagles with a few bonus HD each I think. Well it reads to me, that its based off my level so if I'm level 2, then my hawk is level 6?
So by level 4, if you had it for each eagle, each eagle would count as if you were a L8 druid. oh wait, but you have to split up your druid levels to get multiple animals, due to beastmaster, right? So let's see. 1/1/1/2 at L4 take the feat 3 times if you're human, you could have L1/L5/L5/L6 eagles or dwarf could have L1/L1/L5/L6 eagles at druid4 Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! - H

I've been playing a 12th lvl Character (Lvl 11 Human Fighter / Lvl 1 Ranger) and his most recent brush with death (according to the DM) revealed that there is more to him and who he is than just simple Human Fighter. Basically myself and our druid were swallowed by a giant flesh ooze and through force of will (and some amazing dice rolls) I was able to hold myself together, our druid wasn't so fortunate as she was digested almost immediately. So at lvl 12 its now been revealed to me that I'm a half-janni, but I've been playing this guy as if he's from a far northern viking-esque climate. Whats the best way to incorporate this bloodline into my character? I have the Qadira book, do I just add the bonus's to my ability scores and go from that point? Or do I go all the way to beginning and recalculate my skills and bonus's from lvl 1? Do I add the Flight to my movement? I want to be fair to the other players as they won't know this about my character. In light of this addition to my character, I'm not going to take a leadership feat as I think being "buffed" and having a cohort just might be too much. I haven't played a lot of caster classes, so I'm not sure what "Spell-like abilities" mean and how they're "cumulative" What would his caster level be? 14? Human Fighter 11 / Ranger 1
Feats:
I need help w/ a Lvl 11 82k starting gp Viking build for the Savage Tide. Thoughts & links Appreciated. And I did read here: http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/community/gaming/dnd/archives/vikingCh aracter but other than a few things, nothing pops out as a build, i.e. Feats, Gear, skills, build. Multi-class options. It should be tough and able to throw down some serious attacks. Of course I'm thinking Human or Dwarf for race. |
