Soooo, I kinda declared that I would play a Bloodrager and then put it out to the group to give me a race? Certainly it be worse, Consitution and Charisma are excellent stats to have bonii in, but the small size and penalty to Strength is really going to hurt.

We're starting at first level, playing the Serpent's Skull AP (no spoilers). We have 25 point buy, which is... ominous?

I'm thinking for stats maybe 18 12 12 10 12 12 ==> 16 12 14 10 12 14 after racials?

Anyone got any tips for Bloodlines or anything?

How screwed am I, exactly?

In an undead setting, some shadow dire bears with create spawn (specifically for animals) got loose in the forest. One result of this unfortunate outbreak is the purely hypothetical scenario that I threw a shadow bat swarm at my players. If they were to, hypothetically speaking, simply invisible themselves and "stealth" away, as only a fighter in full plate can, would the bat swarm be able to follow them?

The original bat swarm that I was vaguely using as a template/inspiration for this creature (too low CR to be worth giving actual stats to) has blindsense, presumably as a result of echolocation. Would that still work?

We ended up going with "if echolocation works then so do non-magical sonic attacks", and while I'm not sure if any of them even exist, I think the incorporeal ability is pretty clear that they wouldn't work if they did.

So, echolocation was out, you can't hear shadows and they can't hear you. But you can see them, so lasers are fine. Are there any rules to support any of this?

Greeting fellow Humans, I am making a wildshape druid with a dip into Maneuver Master to get the flurry of maneuvers, with wisdom to AC, feats (IUS and Imp. Dirty Trick without prereqs), and good saves all gravy. I have some questions about how it all works though.

1) At level 6 when I get Grab, I assume this grants its +4 bonus on any grapple I perform while in an appropriate form, not just those on the grab attacks?

2) Can I perform the bonus maneuver (a dirty trick to blind someone), and then make the rest of my full attack against their flat-footed AC -2?

3) If I successfully grab someone using my natural attacks, can I then use the bonus maneuver to pin them? 3a) Can I do this immediately after I grab them, and then continue on with the rest of my attacks against their lowered AC?

4) If I begin my turn grappling someone, can I use the bonus maneuver to maintain the grapple or do I need to take a standard action to do so (depriving me of my full attack and bonus maneuver)? 4a) If I can use the bonus maneuver do I need to do this at the start or can I do it at the end? 4b) If I can do it at the end is the enemy still grappled during this time or do I need to make the grapple check immediately on my turn?

I might find a few more things as I explore this further, but that should do for now. Thanks in advance!

All elementals, as part of their Elemental Traits, are immune to stunning.

Earth elementals get the Earth Glide ability, which specifically calls out that if a Move Earth spell is cast on an area of earth that contains an elemental, said elemental is thrown back 30 feet (it doesn't specify which direction, but the countless problems with the wording of Earth Glide are not the point here) and stunned for 1 round unless they make a fort save.

This was just going to be a case of the specific (Earth Glide specifically calling it out) overriding the general (Elemental Traits giving all elementals a general immunity to stunning) until it was pointed out that the text for Move Earth specifically calls out that it "has no effect on earth creatures".

So, can Earth Elementals be stunned by casting Move Earth on a patch of dirt they are earth gliding through?
