So I was toying with things while reading through the Hell's Vengeance players guide and the thought of a Tyrant archetype Antipaladin of Abadar came to mind. The issue I have is, I'm not entirely sure what the best way to derive an Antipaladin code from the Deity and Paladin code. I have that it would be much more Law focused than evil, but not sure how that would interact with the default Tyrant code.


So, I had an interesting event occur, and I decided to roll with it. When one of my players went through the joust and was up against Lady Mona Sittas, they got a critical hit, and rolled their max damage, killing her instantly.

What I'm curious for is any thoughts or ideas people have for recommended backgrounds for tying her into to either make her stand out as heroic, or crueler side.

As well, should I consider somehow her living, or go with my initial gut response of the crowd that was bribed to come watch the games cheering for the death of the noble?


Okay, so I know that a Cleric can use wands of spells that are on their selected domains even if it is not on there normal spell list as discussed here:

and

However, I have someone that is trying to take the bold part here and extrapolate:

The PRD wrote:
Spell Trigger: Spell trigger activation is similar to spell completion, but it's even simpler. No gestures or spell finishing is needed, just a special knowledge of spellcasting that an appropriate character would know, and a single word that must be spoken. Spell trigger items can be used by anyone whose class can cast the corresponding spell. This is the case even for a character who can't actually cast spells, such as a 3rd-level paladin. The user must still determine what spell is stored in the item before she can activate it. Activating a spell trigger item is a standard action and does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

They are saying that because domains are a part of the class, that the class is therefore capable of casting it as long as it appears in the domains. Thus any cleric could use a wand of any spell as long as it appears on either the cleric spell list or the domains somewhere, even if they did not select the domains that they appear in.

I personally disagree, and have argued that effectively the Cleric is an aggregate of multiple classes that are grouped under the 'Cleric' name, since the Deity and Domain choices fundamentally determine the spells that a character is capable of casting, therefore your class would be something like "Cleric of Nethys - Destruction/Defense" and not simply Cleric. Meaning you could use wands of spells that are on the Destruction and Defense domain list or the actual Cleric spell list.

So my question is, which is correct? And more importantly citations and logic backing up the way the answer was obtained.


So, reading through the ship actions, I keep looking back at the daytime Sneak and Shirk. Shirk seems like it's an all around inferior action. There does not seem to be anything indicating that you cannot take 10 with the Sneak action, so what exactly is the benefit of Shirk over Sneak?


So, I've been trying to figure out how this works, if at all. If you take Improved Eldritch Heritage selecting the Arcane Bloodline and taking the 9th level power, New Arcana, with an Alchemist, what happens? Since they don't have spells or spells known, does this do anything or is it effectively a useless bloodline for them?


Alright, my apologies if this has been asked before, but a search did not turn it up.

So Lifesense says that the creature sees all living creatures within 60' just as if it had Blindsight. While Dampen Presence allows you to use stealth against foes with Blindsight/Blindsense, but doesn't say anything about Lifesense. Considering that Lifesense functions as Blindsight with a particular subset, am I correct in my understanding that you could use Dampen Presence to stealth against a foe with Lifesense?

Thanks.
