Hi,

My party is fighting an owlbear and one of the characters was grabbed by the owlbear.
My question is on the following round while maintaining the grab and automatically inflicting the indicated claw damage, can the owlbear still make it's full attack while grabbing or is it limited to inflicting the grab damage on the grappled character for that round? And if it can still make regular attacks they would be at -2 due to the grappled condition?

Thanks.

Hi,

I want to make a Gish build using the Path of War Bladecaster prestige class.
I was thinking a human Warder/Wizard or Myrmidon Archetype/Wizard to qualify would work best. Any suggestions or build examples would be appreciated.

Thanks.

So would you agree with Thelith's ruling: only allowing
half the normal number of creatures in the square?

Hi,

I read that four tiny creatures can occupy a five foot square. Does
that number hold true if there is a medium sized creature in the same square
that the tiny creatures are attacking? Or would the number of tiny creatures
be limited to less than four?

Thanks

Hi,

Would a specialist wizard have to use the "Use Magic Item" skill to use a wand
that contains a spell from a banned school or is it not an issue?

Thanks

Hi,

Can you deliver a touch spell to a willing character that is around the
corner of a wall or do you need a direct line of sight?

Hi,

If a character gets hit with a tanglefoot bag and fails his reflex save he is glued to the ground according to the rules. If he is then hit with a grease spell and fails that reflex save can he fall to the ground since he is already glued to it while standing?

You could still use a counter though, right?

Hi,

Can you combine a non-charge related maneuver-the Golden Lion Hunting Party maneuver for instance-with a regular charge?

The helpless character is in a square with another character currently engaged in combat. The character that wants to pull the helpless character out of combat is directly behind(thus not currently in a threatened square)the two occupying the same square. So I would rule that since the pulling character is putting his arms in the same square as the helpless character he would provoke an AOO as Mysterious Stranger mentioned.

Hi,

Can a helpless character that is occupied by the same square as a combatant be pulled out of combat by a character behind the two without provoking an AOO?

And what is the rule if the same helpless character is healed, brought to consciousness and is still occupies the same square as the combatant? Since two characters cannot occupy the same square.

Hi,

Are caltrops and lamp oil poured on the ground considered difficult terrain
for the purpose of halting a charging attack?

What would be the acrobatics DC of running through such a square? I couldn't find any rules for oil just ice:

Ice (Slick)

A creature traversing slick ice at more than half speed is required to make a DC 15 Acrobatic check at the start of the movement. Failure causes the creature to fall prone at the start of the movement. Running or charging on slick ice increases the DC by 5, with the same effect on a failed skill check. A creature that succeeds at this check by 5 or more can increase its move across the ice by 10 feet, but is considered flat-footed until the start of its next turn. Creatures (like those with enough levels of barbarian or rogue) that can’t be caught flat-footed at the start of combat are immune to this flat-footed effect as well.

I don't believe the DC for running through oil on a stoney or dirt surface should be as high as running through ice. How do you handle this?

Thanks.

So you don't even need a weapon when using Total Defense cause
it's a dodge bonus?

Hi,

Can a character with a reach weapon use Total Defense against
an adjacent foe?

Thanks.

Hi,

I was wondering when you initiate a counter maneuver can you still make a normal
attack in the same round?

Thanks

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has any houserules for shield use. I think shields were never implemented properly and would like to make some changes regarding their use.

One houserule I remember coming across was a +1 increase across the board for all shields except bucklers. And a flat percentage to block an attack based on shield type: 5% buckler, 10% small shield, 15% large shield. Whenever a shield blocks an attack in this manner it takes damage and may get broken. I think this is a fair and balanced system making sword and board builds more viable.

What do you think?

Thanks

Situation:

You have a character with Planes Lore but also Occultism.

Can you use Planes Lore to ID the appropriate creature instead of the
related skill?

So, here's a question, or rather a few statements then a question.

On pg 301 we have different light categories defined, but not how they interplay.

So does it work like pf1 where you have an area of bright, then the same
as dim, then dark? Or does it just drop off from bright to dark? (which makes less sense and makes low light vision work strangely)

Has anyone run/played all the way through yet to be able
to comment on how each section takes to run?

Much recruit, very player, wow

much discussion will happen here

A Starfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 3-6.

It's finally here; the sugar-pop band sensation, Strawberry Machine Cake, is starting its Pact Worlds tour. Thanks to the Exo-Guardians' leader, Zigvigix, the PCs and Historia-7 have tickets to attend the holo-concert event of the year. As Zigvigix hopes to celebrate and mourn friends lost in the Scoured Stars, Historia-7 enlists the PCs to track down an attendee associated with a conspiracy against the Society. When a stunning revelation endangers the concert, it falls to the PCs to step in and save one of the most hotly anticipated concerts in Pact Worlds history.

Content in Star Sugar Heartlove!!! also contributes to the ongoing goals of the Dataphiles and Exo-Guardians faction.

Setting up discussion

Getting things set up

So, I've been having a discussion with various local GMs and I wanted
to get a larger opinion.

So you have a caster that has summon monster as a standard action (regardless of how). And they start with an already existing summoned creature.

I personally have not been allowing this type of action but they claim they can:

1. Full Attack with the existing creature
2. Summon a new creature as standard, which sends back the old creature
3. Full Attack with the new creature

All in the same round.

I haven't been allowing this, but I am interested in the opinions.

So does the Bolt Ace Gunslinger Archetype really get a free firearm, exotic proficiency feat, and gunsmithing on an archetype built solely to use crossbows?

Shouldn't you lose Gunsmithing, and the Exotic Firearm Feat in order to maybe pick feats from a list, like Point Blank Shot, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Some crossbow), and Rapid Reload to replace those and make the character a little more focused?
