I really cannot abide threadcrapping, bullying and the standardization of misinformation which based on a few hours of experience, are routine and enshrined here.

I am not a mod and, to the best of my knowledge do not have the power to ban myself. If I every buy a Paizo product again I will have to hold my nose to do it.

Thank you for your consideration and have a wonderful tomorrow.

You've linked the spell, yes. But I believe (its a little difficult to tell) that you have misunderstood both the Maximise spell metamagic feat and how caster levels work.

hmmm, 'caster level' may or may not be a "numeric effect" but damage has to be, yes?

to clarify the goal is to prove this right, not wrong, that is what I meant by debate class

an ignorant and belligerent group? here on the internet ?!? impossible

School evocation [sonic]; Level bard 1, inquisitor 1, sorcerer/wizard 1, witch 1
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target one creature
Duration instantaneous; see text
Saving Throw Fortitude partial (see text); Spell Resistance yes
You unleash a powerful scream, inaudible to all but a single target. The target is dazed for 1 round and takes 1d6 points of sonic damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d6). A successful save negates the daze effect and halves the damage.

the above is from the PRD. Our GM has instructed us to use the PRD and consider it canon.

how does it feel to be both arbitrarily rude -and- wrong?

is there no prohibition against thread crapping on these boards? lol, and the mod showed up and warned ---> me

well the absence of intelligence, understanding or guidance I will go ahead and implement this combo as part of my build

Paizo, please put me down as just one more happy customer

I have no idea what you want me to debate.

Are you suggesting you can't maximize Ear Piercing Scream? I don't understand.

apologies, you are in the restrictive PFS as a level 1 sorcerer with a raven familiar

you take Maximize Spell Feat to modify Ear Piercing Scream, you figure you can now hit for 5d6 and also send it through your familiar for additional range or altitude.

Your GM says "Noooooooooooo00000!"

what is your rebuttal?

pretend you are back in debate class

please give me your strongest case as to why this should work for a lvl 1 sorcerer and familiar

grats

have you all gone insane? The familiar delivers the touch spell as if the caster was touching the target.

This exact scenario is listed as an enemy tactic in more Pathfinder books than I can count and is therefore canon.

Giant sized can mean many things: It can be anything size large or larger (large, huge, gargantuan, colossal), or something that is a large specimen of its kind (like a giant eagle which is a lot larger than normal eagles).

Anyway, there is no fixed definition of "giant-sized" in the rules.

It sounds like the GM invented a magic item of his own. Either that or there's something I don't know about right now.

Note that bless weapon usually lets you overcome DR/good and DR/magic (the latter only if the enemy is evil).

I'd ask the GM to be a bit more precise. How does the ability work precisely? Is it against all enemies larger than yourself, or everyone of size large? What kinds of DR will it bypass?

I haven't read about any magic item/artifact called True Grimoire / Grimorium Verum in Pathfinder, but google the term and you'll find lots of pages about the real-world version.

thank you so much for the quick reply and generous amount of information. I will ask the GM for more specifics. We are all just trying to 'get it right' so your expert consultation is of enormous assistance.

Hello, my first time here so I hope I am posting this in the correct section.

I am a player in a pathfinder campaign. Since the players and the GM all come from different RPG 'traditions' we agreed to play by the rules and vocabulary of pathfinder so we don't wind up trying to translate Urdu to Latin then back into English

Plus, between us we have many pathfinder books.

Recently my character got a weapon, after a while I (out of character) figured out that it avoids damage reduction sometimes. The GM confirmed this later. He said that it acts as if under a 'bless weapon' when fighting a giant sized opponent.

I asked him if he meant some sort of 'Giants Bane' but he said that it applied to oversized targets such as dragons, large demons, and giants.

I looked in my core book and player book but could not find anything about size of targets. Did the GM make this up? I am not an expert so I don't know. It would be good to have a list. Is this something that is in the monster book?

On a less important note the GM has some of the players looking for a 'true grimoire'. I have a lot more respect for that because I think it is more of a quest set up and does not automatically have to do with the game rules. But if that is in a book we would like to read about it.
