Greetings! I have a dilemma concerning 2 class abilities coming from a prestige class, Scar Seeker, and how exactly do they stack with those coming from a Paladin class. 1)Lay on Hands:
So, do I get 1/2 paladin level + CHA + 1/2 Scar Seeker level + CHA,
2)Smite Evil:
If I use a Paladin archetype that changes Smite Evil, do I add Smite Evil uses from Scar Seeker to the alternate ability that replaced Smite Evil, or do I then count them as seperate abilities, in which case I don't count my Paladin as a class that grants the Smite Evil ability? Thank you in advance.
That's why I also linked the rules for somatic components. Because according to that, you need to have a free hand to cast a spell with somatic components, and if the feat allows you to use those somatic components (note that it does not say that you don't need to use somatic components, but that it allows you to complete them) and if you are counted for having a free hand for somatic part of the spell, I was wondering if you are counted for having a free hand for Lay on Hands. I do agree that you cannot use touch attacks with the shield hand, but what about the swift action for healing yourself?
Greetings,
Shielded Mage:
You have learned how to cast spells from behind the safety of a shield.
Prerequisite(s): Shield Focus, base attack bonus +3 or fighter level 1st. Benefit(s): You reduce the arcane spell failure of any shield you use by 15% (to a minimum of 0%). Using a shield does not prevent you from completing somatic spell components with the hand wielding the shield. Lay on Hands:
Lay On Hands (Su)
Beginning at 2nd level, a paladin can heal wounds (her own or those of others) by touch. Each day she can use this ability a number of times equal to 1/2 her paladin level plus her Charisma modifier. With one use of this ability, a paladin can heal 1d6 hit points of damage for every two paladin levels she possesses. Using this ability is a standard action, unless the paladin targets herself, in which case it is a swift action. Despite the name of this ability, a paladin only needs one free hand to use this ability. Somatic Component rules:
Somatic (S)
A somatic component is a measured and precise movement of the hand. You must have at least one hand free to provide a somatic component. Thanks in advance!
I was referring to other messageboard posts about Trap Sense and Rogues/Barbarians, where people mostly answered to absurdity of Trap Sense with: well you get Uncanny Dodge 1 lv after so it's fine.
What is the point of Trap Sense on an Investigator without Uncanny Dodge or a different wording on Trap Sense?
Greetings!
Spoiler:
Trap Sense: At 3rd level, an investigator gains an intuitive sense that alerts him to danger from traps, granting him a +1 bonus on Reflex saving throws to avoid traps and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks by traps. At 6th level and every 3 levels thereafter, these bonuses increase by 1 (to a maximum of +6 at 18th level). I have searched the messageboards, and the only places Trap Sense was mentioned was with Rogue, who gets Uncanny Dodge which was mostly perceived as a second part to Trap Sense. Well, since an Investigator does not get Uncanny Dodge, what gives? How is a Dodge bonus useful against traps, which deny your Dex bonus, unless you know the trap is there, by which the flavor text "an investigator gains an intuitive sense that alerts him to danger from traps" makes no sense... Thanks in advance :)
Greetings,
Heroic Recovery
Prerequisites: Diehard, Endurance, base Fortitude save +4. Benefit: Once per day as a standard action you may attempt a new saving throw against a harmful condition or affliction requiring a Fortitude save that is affecting you. If this save against the affliction fails, there is no additional effect, but a successful save counts toward curing an affliction such as poison or disease. You cannot use this feat to recover from instantaneous effects, effects that do not allow a saving throw, or effects that do not require a Fortitude save.
Greetings, I am a little lost on how these two would work together and I would be happy with a clarification :) Infernal Mortification (Su) At 1st level, a fiend flayer can sacrifice some of his own infernal blood to add to his arcane pool. Sacrificing blood in this way is a standard action. For every 2 points of Constitution damage the fiend flayer takes in this way, his arcane pool increases by 1 point. Any arcane pool points gained in this way and not spent disappear the next time the magus prepares his spells. Unlike normal ability score damage, this damage cannot be healed by way of lesser restoration. Only time can heal the Constitution damage taken by way of infernal mortification. This ability cannot be used if the fiend flayer's Constitution damage is equal to or greater than 1/2 his Constitution score. Bandages of Rapid Recovery These linen bandages have the same color and softness as the feathers of a dove, but their antiseptic smell suggests a less natural origin. Any creature wrapped in these bandages recovers from wounds and ability damage each day as if receiving complete bed rest regardless of activity. A creature actually receiving long-term care (from the Heal skill) or complete bed rest while wearing the bandages gains a +4 bonus to its effective level or Hit Dice when determining how many hit points it recovers each day. The bandages are destroyed once removed or when the wearer recovers all hit points and ability damage, whichever comes first. I suppose that BoRR can heal the Con damage even though you are actively fighting/casting/etc, but can you, for an example, use IM again just before the Con damage is about to be healed, thus ignoring the last part of the BoRR, and have them active indefinitely? Thanks in advance
Greetings :D
So, what are his options for this round? Can he still attack my ally even if he is under the effect of antagonize since he has no ranged options? Could he drink a potion or do any other actions? I think it would be logical that he can, but I want more opinions on this. Thank you :) P.S.
This is, alas, a better question for the rules forum and a FAQ click. I thank thee for thine time and words. Regards.
Greetings, oh great and wise James Jacobs.
