Kierato's page

In response to another thread. I had a prestige class that also let the weapon races turn completely into their weapon, but it is not typed up yet. I'll add it later.

Inspired by smilodan's awesome thread, I want to make classes for people too! All ideas welcome.

For when the other threads get to intense...
I'll go first.

An elf, a human, and a dwarf walk into a tavern and order ale. When the barmaid brings them their drinks, each one has a large bug floating in it. The elf calls the barmaid back and asks for a new drink. The human removes the bug and drinks the ale. The dwarf picks up the bug out of his drinks and starts yelling "Spit it out! Spit it out!"

I have been thinking about how technology would evolve in a world overflowing with magic, like a generic pathfinder/D&D setting. I came up with a power source in the form of Mana Crystals. Mana Crystals are created when a properly trained spellcaster kills a monster and collects a portion of it's life force, or "mana", and combines it with her own magical power (read: spells slots/spells prepared). These crystals would possess levels based on the spell used in it's creation and a "charge" based on how much mana went into it. These crystals would be the basis of techno magic.
The purpose of this thread is to gather thoughts on what you think of this concept and what kind of devices could be created around Mana Crystals.

Well good people of Pai'zo, the time has come for me to move along, it has been a mostly pleasant few days with you. I will be back this way in a few months, probably with new stories to tell.

"Oh the road goes ever on and on, far from the door where it begun..."

Hello all.
This is an alternate magic weapon system. It is not meant to be used with the current magic weapon system, especially on the same weapon. In this system their are only 5 levels to a weapon. Each enchantment also has 5 levels. you can mix and match levels for the effect you want or go all 5 levels of one enchantment. Their are no static +1 to hit/damage for this system. I plan to add more soon (tonight, maybe?), but I thought I'd put these up for comments now. feel free to ask questions or give constructive criticism.

This con damage cannot be avoided, but can be healed and recovered normally. If you do not have a con score, use cha instead. Only sentient creatures (int 3+) can use this ability.

I have seen references both on the forums and in books about using Animate Dead to create variant skeletons and zombies, but no rule under the animate dead spell for this. How do you create variant skeletons and zombies? Is it just a choice you make when you cast the spell? Can anyone quote rules for this?

This is a bard variant that relies on bringing paintings to life as opposed to aiding allies and hindering enemies with music.

The Master Painter
Artistic Expression: The Master Painter can bring his paintings to life. The Master Painter can use this ability for 4 rounds per day + his Intelligence modifier. Each level after first a Master Painter can use artisitic expression for 2 additional rounds per day. Each round, the Master Painter can produce any one of the types of artisitic expression that he has mastered, as indicated by his level.

Starting an artisitic expression is a standard action, but it can be maintained each round as a free action. Changing an artisitic expression from one effect to another requires the Master Painter to stop the previous artisitic expression and start a new one as a standard action. An artisitic expression cannot be disrupted, but it ends immediately if the Master Painter is killed, paralyzed, stunned, knocked unconscious, or otherwise prevented from taking a free action to maintain it each round. A Master Painter cannot have more than one artisitic expression in effect at one time.

At 7th level, a Master Painter can start an artisitic expression as a move action instead of a standard action. At 13th level, a Master Painter can start an artisitic expression as a swift action.
Each artistic expression has a focus component that takes the form of a painting the Master Painter painted. This component costs 50 GP unless otherwise noted and must depict the object, area, or creature the Master Painter is creating and must be at least 1 square foot.
All artistic expression have a caster level equal to the master painters Craft (Paint) skill, when appropriate.

This replaces Bardic Performance.

Realism Painting (Sp): At first level, the Master Painter can replicate the effects of Summon Monster I or Summon Nature's Ally I with his artisitic expression. This effect lasts as long as he maintains the effect, as opposed to the spell's normal duration. This improves to Summon Monster II or Summon Nature's Ally II at 3rd level, Summon Monster III or Summon Nature's Ally III at 5th level, Summon Monster IV or Summon Nature's Ally IV at 7th level, Summon Monster V or Summon Nature's Ally V at 9th level, Summon Monster VI or Summon Nature's Ally VI at 11th level, Summon Monster VII or Summon Nature's Ally VII at 13th level, Summon Monster VIII or Summon Nature's Ally VIII at 15th level, and finally Summon Monster IX or Summon Nature's Ally IX at 17th level.

This replaces Counter Song, Distraction, Fascinate, Inspire Courage (all), Inspire Competence (all), and Inspire Greatness.

Still Life(Sp): At 8th level, the Master Painter can replicate the effects of the Minor Creation Spell with his artisitic expression. This effect lasts as long as he maintains the effect, as opposed to the spell's normal duration. At 12th level, this effect functions as Major Creation instead.

This replaces Dirge of Doom and Soothing Performance.

Landscape Painting(Sp): At 14th level, the Master Painter can paint a picture of a landscape (at least 15 square feet and worth 500gp) and use his artistic expression to bring it to life as per the lesser create demiplane spell. The painting itself functions as a portal to the demi-plane and the effect lasts as long as the master painter sustains the artisistic expression.
At 17th level, this can replicate the effects of the Create Demiplane spell instead, and you can activate it and sustain it multiple times to add features (as per the create demiplane spell). This requires a focus worth 500 gp per time you activate and sustain it simultaniously.
At 20thth level, this can replicate the effects of the Greater Create Demiplane spell instead, and you can activate it and sustain it multiple times to add features (as per the greater create demiplane spell). This requires a focus worth 500 gp per time you activate and sustain it simultaniously.

This replaces Suggestion, Mass Sugestion, Inspire Heroics, and Deadly Performance.

Spellcasting: The Master Painter can cast one less spell per day of each level he has access to. The Master Painter's primary spellcasting attribute is Intelligence instead of Charisma.

Please post comments/suggestions.

This replaces the 6 attribute scores that have been the core of D&D from the beginning with something more generic. The biggest problem I have with it thus far is that Magic is a worse dump stat than charisma was, which will need to be looked into, after some sleep...

Oozemaster (alchemist archtype)

Oozy Touch (Su): After years of studying the nature of oozes and his own bodies physical nature, the Oozemaster has learned to generate an acid like that of many oozes. A number of times per day equal to his class level + his con mod, the oozemaster can make a touch attack as a standard action that deals 1d8 + his con mod points of acid damage. The damage of an oozemaster's oozy touch increases by 1d8 points at every odd-numbered oozemaster level (this bonus damage is not multiplied on a critical hit or by using feats such as Vital Strike). This acid deals full damage against objects. An oozemaster can learn a number of discoveries that can modify his oozy touch. Discoveries that modify ooze touch that are marked with an * do not stack. Oozy touch is considered weapons and can be selected using feats such as Point-Blank Shot (see oozy glob discovery, below) and Weapon Focus.
This ability replaces bomb.

New Discoveries:
Oozy Glob (Su): An oozemaster can use his oozy touch as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 20 ft. The damage die of an oozy glob is 1d6 instead of 1d8. An oozy glob is still considered an oozy touch for the purposes of feats and discoveries.

Fast Oozy Touch: An oozemaster with this discovery can
quickly generate enough acid to use his oozy touch (melee or ranged version) more than one in a single round. The oozemaster can prepare and use additional acid as a full-round action if his base attack bonus is high enough to grant him additional attacks. This functions just like a full-attack with a weapon. An oozemaster must be at least 8th level before selecting this discovery.

Nausiating Ooze*: The oozermaster can make it so that his oozy touch can leave a target ill. A creature struck by an oozy touch must make a fortitude save or be nausiated for 1d4 rounds. An oozemaster must be of at least 6th level before selecting this discovery.

Sticky Ooze*: The acid from the oozemaster's oozy touch clings to the target, dealing half the damage the target took on the following round. The target can make a reflex save as a full round action to remove the acid before he takes the additional damage.

Paralyzing Ooze*: The oozermaster can make it so that his oozy touch can leave a target paralyzed. A creature struck by an oozy touch must make a fortitude save or be paralyzed for 1d4 rounds. An oozemaster must be of at least 12th level before selecting this discovery.

Discoveries: The following discoveries complement the oozemaster archetype: bottled ooze, tentacles, and preserve organs.

Can Undead Anatomy II and III be used to assume non humanoid shaped undead? After all, They allow you to assume diminutive to huge sized undead and allow powers that you can not get as a humanoid shaped undead.

In the sage wild blooded archtype (for the sorcerer) It says that you use your sorcerer levels for "all class features and effects related to the sorcerer class". But then it's arcane bolt is charisma based. Is this a typo?

As the title says, instead of seeing more prestige classes, I would like to see Archtypes for prestige classes. Archtypes for Dragon Disciple would allow for other bloodlines. Archtypes for the Eldritch knight could allow for school specializations or witch's hexes.
What do you think?

Do you think that if you used channel smite through a whip, it can deal the channel smite damage to a creature with +1 AC or +3 Nat AC?

Is the attack generated by the Arcane Blast feat a spell-like ability or a supernatural Ability?

Nature's Warrior(Druid archtype)
Nature Bond: The nature's warrior must choose an animal companion.
Spells: The nature's warrior do not gain any spells or spellcasting ability, do not have a caster level, and cannot use spell trigger and spell completion magic items.
Wildshape: The nature's warrior gains this at first level, with a duration of only 10 minutes per level. At 4th level the duration increases to 1 hour per level. The nature's warrior may wildhape once per day at first level, +1 more time per day per 2 levels there after. At 20th level, wildshape is usable at will.
Wilding: The nature's warrior gains a number of boons that apply while wildshaping. At 4th level, and every 2 levels thereafter, the nature's warrior may choose an ability from the following list. Unless otherwise noted, a given ability may only be chosen once. The nature's warrior may apply one wilding per 4 levels at a time (chosen when the nature's warrior enters wildshape and may not be changed for the duration).

Arcane Bond (Ex): At 5th level, a magician gains the
arcane bond ability as a wizard. He may not choose
a familiar or a weapon as a bonded item. This ability
replaces lore master.

Would a staff count as a weapon? I would say yes, but a staff can be more. Not to mention, all that leaves is a ring, an amulet, or a wand.

Wizards who select a bonded object begin play with one at no cost. Objects that are the subject of an arcane bond must fall into one of the following categories: amulet, ring, staff, wand, or weapon.

Off shot of another thread, this is for the non link aspects of Legend of Zelda. Races, monsters, etc.
Right now I am posting the Dekubaba. And will add in some races and other monsters shortly.

This is a new feat tree that introduces a variation of Forgotten Realms Spell Fire. Please tell me what you think.

Spell Fire Channeler
Requirement: Cha 13+
Benefit: You possess a pool of spell fire energy equal to your cha mod +1/2 your character level. This feat also grants the Spell Fire Heal and Spell Fire Ray abilities. Spell fire is considered a supernatural ability. You cannot spend more spell fire energy on a single ability than 1/2 your character level (minimum of one).
Spell Fire Heal: As a standard action, you can expend spell fire to restore hp with a touch. You restore 1d4 + your cha mod hp per point expended.
Spell Fire Ray: As a standard action, you can release a ray of all consuming spell fire. This ability has a 100 ft range, requires a ranged touch attack, and deals 1d4 + Cha mod damage to the target. This is considered pure magical energy and is not subject to energy resistance.
Spell fire is mildly disruptive to magic. A spell caster with this feat that attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC = to 10 + there current spell fire pool total, minimum DC 10) or lose the spell. A natural 1 always fails and a natural 20 always succeeds.

Spell Fire Barrier
Requirements: Spell fire Channeler, Cha 13+
Benefit: You gain the Spell Fire Barrier spell fire ability. You also increase you max spell fire pool by 1 point and increase the concentration DC (if any) by 1 point.
Spell Fire Barrier: You can expend spell fire energy to gain a deflection bonus to AC. This deflection bonus is equal to the number of spell fire energy spent and lasts for a number of rounds equal to your 1/2 class level + your cha mod.

Spell Fire Dispel
Requirements: Spell Fire Channeler, Cha 13+
Benefit: You have learned to harness the disruptive abilities of spell fire, granting you the Spell Fire Dispel Ability.You also increase you max spell fire pool by 1 point and increase the concentration DC (if any) by 1 point.
Spell Fire Dispel: One object, creature, or spell is the target of the Spell Fire Dispel ability. You make one dispel check (1d20 + your cha mod+2 per point spent (minimum of 1 point)) and compare that to the spell with highest caster level (DC = 11 + the spell's caster level). If successful, that spell ends. If not, compare the same result to the spell with the next highest caster level. Repeat this process until you have dispelled one spell affecting the target, or you have failed to dispel every spell.

Spell Fire Resistance
Requirements: Spell Fire Channeler, Spell Fire Dispel, Cha 13+
Benefit: You gain spell resistance 11 + character level so long as you have at least 1 point in your spell fire pool. You also increase you max spell fire pool by 1 point and increase the concentration DC (if any) by 1 point.

Spell Fire Absorption
Requirements: Spell Fire Channeler, Spell Fire Dispel, Spell Fire Resistance, Cha 15+
Benefit: You can attempt to absorb the magical energy of a spell that specifically targets you, such as charm person or disintegrate, but not fire ball or fog cloud. Any time such a spell fails to overcome your spell resistance granted by Spell Fire Resistance, you recover an amount of spell fire energy equal to the level of the spell. This cannot put you above your spell fire pool maximum.
You also increase you max spell fire pool by 1 point and increase the concentration DC (if any) by 1 point.

Spell Fire Illumination
Requirements: Spell Fire Channeler, Cha 13+
Benefit: You gain the Spell Fire Light and Spell Fire Flash abilities. You also increase you max spell fire pool by 1 point and increase the concentration DC (if any) by 1 point.
Spell Fire Light: As long as you have at least 1 point in your spell fire pool, you can use Dancing Lights at will, this is still a supernatural ability.
Spell Fire Flash: You can create a 5 ft radius burst of spell fire at any point within 100 feet. Any creature within this area must make a Fort save (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Cha mod). A failed save means they are blinded, while a successful save means they are only dazzled. The duration of the blindness or dazzled is equal to the number of points spent (minimum of one) + your Cha Mod.

Spell Fire Blast
Requirements: Spell Fire Channeler, Cha 15+
Benefit: You have learned to harness the destructive capabilities of spell fire to new heights. You gain the Spell Fire Blast ability. You also increase you max spell fire pool by 1 point and increase the concentration DC (if any) by 1 point.
Spell Fire Blast: You release a blast of spell fire energy dealing 1d4 + cha mod damage per point spent. This blast takes the form of a 60 ft line, a 30 ft cone, or a 10 ft radius burst (with a range of 100 ft). A successful reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Cha mod) halves the damage. This is considered pure magical energy and is not subject to energy resistance.

Spell Fire Thamaturgist
Requirements: Spell Fire Channeler, Cha 15+, Caster level 1+
Benefit: You can convert spell energy, either spell slots or prepared spells, into spell fire energy. You can sacrifice a spell slot or a prepared spell as a standard action and gain a number of spell fire pool points equal to the level of the spell or spell slot. This cannot put you above your spell fire pool maximum. You cannot sacrifice 0 level spells.
You also increase you max spell fire pool by 1 point and increase the concentration DC (if any) by 1 point.

Spell Fire Imbue
Requirements: Spell Fire Channeler, Cha 15+, Caster level 1+
Benefit: You have learned to channel spell fire through your weapons. You gain the Spell Fire Imbue ability. You also increase you max spell fire pool by 1 point and increase the concentration DC (if any) by 1 point.
Spell Fire Imbue: You channel spell fire energy into one weapon you are holding, causing it to deal an additional 2 points of damage per point spent. This lasts for a number of rounds equal to half your level + your cha mod. The weapon only gains the additional damage if wielded by you.

Is it possible to take iterative attacks with different weapons? Say, a sixth level barbarian wielding a longspear is adjacent to an enemy. Could he use knockback (rage power) with a spiked gauntlet to push the target farther away and the take his second attack with the long spear? I'm looking for both opinions and actual facts.

This is a continuation of a discussion in a different thread (iterative magic).
To recap, in this system, you have 2 standard action at first level, +1 standard action at +6 BAB, +11 BAB, and +16 BAB.
You can use these standard actions to perform any move or standard action, with some exceptions listed below.

You can normally only cast one spell per round, a quickened spell does not take a swift action, rather it lets you cast a second spell in a round. Spells with a one round casting tme are unaffected by this change. You can apply a metamagic feat to a spontaneously cast spell by taking an additional standard action.

Attacking: Each standard action you take to attack during your turn after the first suffers a cumulative -5 penalty on attack rolls. This does not apply to spells.

Two Weapon Fighting(feat): Once per round, you may use a standard action to attack once with a weapon in each hand, suffering all of the normal penalties.
Improved Two Weapon Fighting : Twice per round, you may use a standard action to attack once with a weapon in each hand, suffering all of the normal penalties.
Greater Two Weapon Fighting(feat): Three times per round, you may use a standard action to attack once with a weapon in each hand, suffering all of the normal penalties.
Rapid Shot: Once per round, you may use a standard action to attack twice with a ranged weapon, but all attacks you make this round suffer a -2 penalty on attack rolls.
Vital Strike: When attacking, you may spend 2 standard actions to make one attack roll with double the weapon damage dice.
Improved Vital Strike: When attacking, you may spend 3 standard actions to make one attack roll with triple the weapon damage dice.
Greater Vital Strike: When attacking, you may spend 4 standard actions to make one attack roll with Quadruple the weapon damage dice.
Cleave: Requires 2 standard actions to use.
Great Cleave: Requires 3 Standard actions to use.

Natural Attacks. You may use both natural attack of a pair of natural attacks (eg. 2 claws) as part of the same standard action. Creatures that possess more than 2 of a given natural attack (such as a hydra with 5+ bites) will have special rules governing it.

Other considerations must be taken, but please share your thoughts on the information thus far.

I'm putting this up in response to Cranewings Weapon Customization Thread. I made this a while back, and I feel that it is pretty self explanatory. If there are any questions, feel free to ask.

Bumping for comments, onegai!

This is a new fighter archtype that repalces Armor Training, Weapon Training, Bravery, and Armor Mastery. Please let me know if you can think of any other Blade lores.

The Elderitch Blade (Fighter Archtype)

Elderitch Blade(Su): Starting at 3rd level, you may create a blade of pure arcane energy as a move action. You are automatically proficient with this blade and it deals 1d8 piercing or slashing damage, 19-20/X2 crit and is considered a one-handed weapon. You apply your str bonus to the Elderitch Blade as normal and can choose it for weapon specific feats, such as Weapon Focus or Weapon specialization. If this blade ever leaves your hand it immediately disappears and you may only have one such blade at a time. This replaces Armor Training 1 and Bravery.

Blade Lore (Su): Starting at 5th level you learn a new way to empower your Elderitch Blade, and another new way every 2 levels after 5th (7th, 9th, etc) up to 19th level. You may choose from the following list of abilities. Note that some abilities have prerequisites that must be met. Unless noted otherwise, you may only gain each ability once.
Enhance Blade: Your Elderitch Blade gains a +1 enhancement bonus per 4 levels you possess. This counts as a normal enhancement bonus for overcoming DR.
Elemental Blade: When you choose this ability, choose acid, cold, electricity, or fire. Your Elderitch Blade deals +1d6 damage of this element and you may, as a swift action before you make any attacks for the turn, convert all of the Elderitch Blade's damage to that energy type until the beginning of your next round.
Finesse Blade: Your Elderitch Blade becomes a 1d8 piercing or slashing damage, 18-20/X2 crit and is considered a light weapon. You cannot select both this ability and Heavy Blade. You must have Weapon Finesse to gain this ability.
Heavy Blade: Your Elderitch Blade becomes a 2d6 piercing or slashing damage, 19-20/X3 crit and is considered a two-handed weapon. You cannot select both this ability and Finesse Blade. You must have Power Attack to gain this ability.
Twin Blade: You may create two identical Elderitch Blades instead of one. You may create both as part of the same move action. If you use 2 Elderitch Blades at the same time, you suffer all the normal 2 weapon fighting penalties. You may not choose this ability and Heavy Blade. You must have the Two-Weapon Fighting feat to gain this ability.
Focused Blade: You have forged such a close bond that your Elderitch Blade is not destroyed if you go into an antimagic field or similar effect.
Trans-dimensional Blade: Your Elderitch Blade gains the Ghost Touch property.
Swift Blade: You can create your Elderitch Blade as a swift action. In addition, your Elderitch Blade gains the speed property. You must have Quick Draw to gain this ability.

Weapon Mastery: You must choose Elderitch Blade for this ability.

Clarifications and Typos:
The various fog discoveries may target a grid intersection as normal.
With no splash the "fog" based discoveries are useless. Omit this line.

The modifications make the alchemy gun effectively worthless.
"worthless" should be changed to "valueless", they can only be used by a marginal subset of the population, and therefore cannot be sold for an appreciable amount of money.

Would craft(gunsmith) allow me to make black powder, or would I need craft(alchemy) for that?

I am looking to DM for, or join, a Pathfinder group in Fayetteville Arkansas. I have one player, my older brother, and I have been working on a campaign. We need 3-5 players to join, or room for 2.

How would you rate the schools of magic (from a wizard/sorcerer standpoint) on a scale of 1-10 and why?
Mine:
abjuration=6(with energy resisting spells, dispel magic, and utility spells it's a useful school)
conjuration=10(offers offensive and defensive spells, and through summon monster you can even heal. It's a well balanced school)
Divination=4(Fun; when it's useful, it's useful, but it's usefulness is outside of combat (mostly))
Enchantment=6 (fun; some buffs, many defuffs and plenty of utility spells, lacks offensive power and cannot affect many creatures)
Evocation=8 (A strong, steady school of magic. It allows you to participate in most or all combat encounters. Not a lot of utility spells)
Illusion=9 (Another balanced school of magic, capable of replicating conjuration and evocation. plenty of offensive and utility spells)
Necromancy=7 (Plenty of debuffs, some damage and defensive spells, few utility spells, and many of it's spells do not affect many creatures)
Transmutation=8 (Lots of buffs and utilities, but limited in offensive magic. Useful, but not as much as some schools)

Could an earth elemental use the reposition combat maneuver to bury someone?

In another thread a topic was brought up that stat boosting items may detract from the game. Along the lines of that topic I thought about removing stat boosters and adding, or reminding of, rules that replicate certain specific effects of stat boosting items and getting rid of stat boosters. Please review the below and share any ideas or comments you may have on the topic.

Strength: Strength improves to hit and damage of melee weapons as will as the damage for thrown weapons and Mighty Composite bows; Climb and Swim checks, and Str checks. Strength also improves your carrying capacity. You can already improve damage and to hit by enchanting a weapon, and through Amulets of Mighty Fists. So I present the Belt of Ant Haul:

Belt of Ant Haul
Aura: Weak transmutation; CL: 1
Slot: Waist; Price: 2,000 GP; Weight: 2 lb.s
A character Wearing this belt gains the benefit of Ant Haul, increasing their carrying capacity by 3 times.
Requirements: Craft Wondrous Item, Ant Haul, Cost: 1,000 GP

Dexterity: Dexterity improves you ranged to hit, touch armor class, reflex saves, initiative, as well as the skills Acrobatics, Disable Device, Escape Artist, Fly, Ride, Slight of Hand, and Stealth. Several Items already exist to boost your skills, and a cloak of resistance improves all saving throws, enchanted ranged and thrown weapons improves their to hit and damage. This leaves touch armor class and initiative. The following items are on these thoughts: The boots of Avoidance and the Specs of First Action:

Boots of Avoidance
Aura: Weak transmutation; CL: 7
Slot: Feet; Price: 2,500 GP (+1), 10,000 (+2), 22,500 (+3); Weight: 5 lb.s
A character Wearing these soft, leather boots add a +1 to +3 dodge bonus to armor class.
Requirements: Craft Wondrous Item, Cat's Grace, Caster level equal to 3 times the bonus provided; Cost: 1250 GP (+1), 5,000 (+2), 11,250 (+3)

Specs of First Action
Aura: Moderate transmutation; CL: 9
Slot: Eyes; Price: 1,000 GP; Weight: 1 lb.s
These simple, silver rimmed glasses grant a +3 competence bonus to Initiative.
Requirements: Craft Wondrous Item, Detect Thoughts; Cost: 500 GP

Intelligence: Intelligence is the primary spell casting attribute for alchemist, witches, and wizards. It also determines how many skill points you have, languages known at first level, and applies to the following skills: Appraise, Craft, Knowledge (all), Linguistics, and Spellcraft. The pearls of power already provide a witch or wizard with more spells per day (sort of). So I provide you with The Spell Power Circlet and the Demolitionist's Gloves:

Spell Power Circlet
Aura: Moderate transmutation; CL: 7
Slot: Head; Price: 2000 GP (+1), 8000 GP (+2), 18,000 GP (+3); Weight: 2 lb.s
The Mithral circlet set with multi-faceted Amethysts Provides the wearer with a continuous +1 to +3 competence bonus to the save DC's of their spells. Each circlet is keyed to one spell casting attribute, Int, Wis, or Cha; when created
Requirements: Craft Wondrous Item, Fox's cunning, Owl's Wisdom, or Eagle's Splendor, caster level must be 3 times the bonus provided; Cost: 1,000 GP (+1), 4,000 GP (+2), 9,000 GP (+3)

Demolitionist's Gloves
Aura: Moderate transmutation; CL: 7
Slot: Hands; Price: 2000 GP (+1), 8000 GP (+2), 18,000 GP (+3); Weight: 4 lb.s
These rough and some what charred leather gloves provide a wearer with the Bomb class feature a continuous +1 to +3 competence bonus to Attack and damage rolls with their bombs and alchemy.
Requirements: Craft Wondrous Item, True Strike, caster level must be 3 times the bonus provided; Cost: 1,000 GP (+1), 4,000 GP (+2), 9,000 GP (+3)

Wisdom: Wisdom provides a bonus to will saves, and is the primary spell casting attribute for the Clerics, Druids, Rangers, and Inquisitors. It also applies to the following skills: Heal, Perception, Profession, Sense Motive, and Survival. Due to the Spell Power Circlet (above) and the cloak of resistance, I see no further need for magic items at this time.

Charisma: Charisma is the primary spell casting stat for Sorcerers, Bards, Paladins, Summoners, and Oracles. It also applies to several paladin and sorcerer class features and to channel energy. Finally, charisma applies to the skills Bluff, Diplomacy, Disguise, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Perform, and Use Magic Device. Due to the Spell Power Circlet (above), we will move on to the Blood Amulet and the Gloves of Positive/Negative Energy.

Blood Amulet
Aura: Moderate Conjuration; CL: 9
Slot: Neck; Price: 2,000 GP (+1), 8,000 GP (+2), 18,000 GP (+3); Weight: 1 lb.s
This amulet set with a blood red ruby enhances a sorcerer's bloodline powers. All bloodline powers related to charisma are increased by +1 to +3.
Requirements: Craft Wondrous Item, Summon Monster I, caster level must be 3 times the bonus provided; Cost: 1,000 GP (+1), 4,000 GP (+2), 9,000 GP (+3)

Gloves of Positive/Negative Energy
Aura: Moderate Conjuration; CL: 9
Slot: Neck; Price: 2,000 GP (+1), 8,000 GP (+2), 18,000 GP (+3); Weight: 1 lb.s
You gain +1 to +3 uses of your lay on hands and channel energy class features, as well as increasing any relevant saves for the lay on hands and channel energy class features. The gloves are aligned to Positive or negative Energy when created and cannot be changed.
Requirements: Craft Wondrous Item, Cure moderate wounds (Positive) or Inflict Light Wounds (negative), caster level must be 3 times the bonus provided; Cost: 1,000 GP (+1), 4,000 GP (+2), 9,000 GP (+3)

Those are my ideas, feedback would be appreciated.

Any advice would be helpful.

Minor Creation(Sp): You can use Minor creation a number of times per day equal to 3 + you Int mod. This ability provides the bodies for your Constructs (see below), but that use does not go against your number of uses per day.

Construct(Su): Constructs are small or tiny Animated Objects. You can create 1 construct per day per class level (but see below). When you rest and regain your uses per day abilities each morning any constructs still remaining vanish, and you are free to create new ones. It takes one hour to regain the use of your abilities and to craft your construct(s).When crafting your constructs, you may forgo crafting one or more constructs to grant other constructs additional CP. For each Construct that you forgo in this manner gives you 2 additional CP that can be divided up among the remaining constructs as you see fit. No construct can have more CP than your class levels. You may also combine 2 or more constructs to create a larger construct ( a larger animated object base) as follows: 2=medium, 4=large, 8=huge, and 16=gargantuan.
At first your constructs can only be made out of wood or other plant matter. When you gain Major Creation, you may make them out of anything allowed by major creation, but you must spend the CP to get the benefits (see Animated Objects).
The Following restrictions exist on the existing Construction Point abilities. Some discoveries may also give you additional things to spend CP on.
You may apply additional attack one time, plus one time per four class levels per construct.
You may apply faster one time, plus one time per four class levels per construct.

Discovery: Discoveries are new tricks you learn in pursuit of your trade. They are difficult to
generalize about, as the can pertain to you, your constructs or something else. Below is a list of discoveries:
Additional HD: This is a Construct Point ability that costs 1 CP. The Construct gains an additional hit die, along with all the implied benefits (BAB, Saves, etc). You may apply additional HD one time per two class levels per construct.
Sentience: This is a Construct Point ability that costs 2 CP. The Construct gains an Int score of 7, a Wis score of 10, and a Cha score of 10. It can speak one language that you know. Possessing an Int score grants it feats and skills appropriate to its HD, and it is always loyal to you. You may apply Sentience once per construct.
Self Repair:This is a Construct Point ability that costs 1 CP. The Construct gains Fast Healing 1 per time you buy it. You may apply self repair one time per five class levels per construct. Requires: level 10
Disabling Touch(Sp): You may deal an amount of damage equal to 1d6 + your ranks in disable device to a creature with a construct type with a touch attack That automatically bypasses hardness and DR. You can use this ability 3 + your Int mod times per day.
Enchanting Touch(Sp): Your Lesser Enchanting Touch functions as Greater Magic Weapon instead of magic weapon. Requirements: Lesser Enchanting touch, class level 6+
Enchanting touch, Greater(Sp): You may choose to have your Enchanting touch spell like ability functions as Versatile Weapon instead of greater magic weapon. Requirements: Enchanting Touch, Class level 8+
Enchanting Touch, Lesser(Sp): You can use Magic Weapon as a spell like ability using your class level as your caster level a number of times per day equal to your Int mod. You can use this ability on your Constructs natural weapons.
Item Creation Feat: You gain an item creation feat as a bonus feat. You must meet the prerequisites as normal, typically though your master craftsman class feature. Requirements: level 5+
More to follow...

Repair(Sp): You can use Mending as a spell like ability at will. You can use this once per day per construct to restore 5 HP.

Master Craftsman: You gain master craftsman as a bonus feat at 5th level even if you do not meet the prerequisites. You gain Master Craftsman again at 10 and 15 levels, allowing you to choose a different craft or profession skill each time.

Major Creation(Sp): Your minor creation spell like ability duplicates the effects of major creation starting at 7th level.

Major Repair(Sp): You can use make whole a number of times per day equal to your Int Mod, using your class level as your caster level.

Fabricate(Sp): You can use fabricate 3 times per day, using your class level as your caster level.

True Repair(Sp): When you use Repair or Major Repair to heal one your constructs, you add your class level to the HP healed.

Rapid Repair(Sp): you may use your Major Repair ability as a standard action (normally, make whole has a casting time of 10 min.).

Final Discovery: I haven't come up with any of these yet...

The Price of a Druid's Vestment is 3,750; while the cost is 1,375. Which one is accurate, or are both accurate (and how)?

According to the bestiary, the Wyvern is a 10 lv creature for the purpose of determining what leadership score you need to gain it. Does this also mean you need to be level 12 to take it as a cohort, or can you be level 9, since the Wyvern has 7 HD. Also Is the Wyvern treated as being level 7 or 10 for the purpose of how much XP it needs to gain a level?

Here is a variant for the rogue, it requires you to give up your sneak attacks.

This thread is mostly about a new feat idea:

I have made up a set of rules to add socketed weapons and gems from Diablo II to path finder.
The cost to add sockets to an Item is (# of Sockets squared X 500 GP) and require the Craft Arms and Armor feat.
A light weapon can have up to 2 sockets, a 1 handed weapon can have 3 sockets, and a 2 handed weapon can have 4 sockets
Light Armor can have up to 2 sockets, Medium Armor can have 3 sockets, and Heavy Armor can have 4 sockets (Based on the origional type of the armor, Mithral Breast Plate could have 3 sockets)
A buckler or light shield can have up to 2 sockets, a Heavy Shield can have 3 sockets, and a Tower Shield can have 4 sockets
A Chipped Gem is valued at 500 GP, a Flawed Gem is 2000 GP, a Normal Gem is 4500 GP, a Flawless Gem is 8000 GP, and a Perfect Gem is worth 12500 GP.
3 gems of the same level (Chipped, for example) can be turned into the next highest level with the make whole spell (no effect on perfect gems).

Here are some of the feats for the prestige class

So, Questions? Comments?

Striking
When wielded by a character proficient with it's use, a weapon with the striking property deals damage as if it were one size category larger (ex; Long sword becomes 2d6). This does not change how much effort it takes to wield this weapon.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Arbalests gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor.

Lesser Crossbow Combat Style: At 1st level you gain your choice of one of the following abilities:
Dual Crossbows: As a full attack action you can load and fire a crossbow in each hand suffering the normal two weapon fighting penalties (you are treated as having the two weapon fighting feat for this purpose, and you do not need a free hand to load). This can only be used with any combination of light crossbows and hand cross bows, not heavy crossbows.
Heavy Crossbow: When wielding a single heavy crossbow, you add an additional +50% of the Deadly Aim damage (in other words +3 damage per -1 to hit)

Careful Aim: Starting at 2nd level, you add your Arbalest level to your damage rolls when using crossbows.

Bonus Combat Feat: At 3rd and 7th lv, you gain a free combat feat, for which you must meet the requirements for as normal.

Piercing Shot: At 4th level, your crossbow attacks can ignore up to 2 points of armor or natural bonus (but not both).

Improved Crossbow Combat Style: At 5th lv, you gain one of the following abilities:
If you chose Dual Shot at 1st level you gain Improved Dual Shot, allowing you to make your full attack with your main hand cross bow and one attack with your off hand cross bow at the normal two weapon penalties. This also allows you to load the necessary number of times to make these attacks without having to have a free hand (you're that good).
If you chose Heavy Crossbow at 1st lv, you now gain Improved Heavy Crossbow, allowing you to now add double the damage bonus from the Deadly Aim feat. This overlaps (does not stack with) the bonus from Lesser Crossbow Combat Style.

Close Quarters shot: At 6th you do not provoke an attack of opportunity from shooting while in melee with any type of crossbow.

Improved Piercing Shot: At 8th lv, you can ignore up to 2 points of armor and natural armor when attacking with a crossbow. This overlaps (does not stack with) Piercing Shot.

First Shot: At 9th lv, you gain a +2 bonus to your initiative.

Crossbow Combat Style Mastery: At 10th lv, you gain one of the following abilities:
If you chose Dual Shot at 1st level you gain Dual Shot Mastery, allowing you to make a second shot with your off hand crossbow, albeit at a -5 penalty (as per the Improved two weapon fighting feat). This also allows you to load the necessary number of times to make these attacks without having to have a free hand (you're that good).
If you chose Heavy Crossbow at 1st lv, You now gain Heavy Crossbow mastery. Your critical multiplier when wielding a heavy crossbow in two hands increases to X3.

There you have it. Questions, comments, or suggestions, all are welcome.

They are smart enough to, so if you spent the skill points on linguistics, can they learn languages, even if only to understand what is being said?

If I were wearing a buckler and using a spear (a two handed weapon) and I threw the spear, would I get the bucklers shield bonus until the start of my next round, as my hands are now empty?
P.S. the spear is +1 returning.
