Lets say we have a character that has a base ranged attack modifier of +10. Rapid Shot = +8/+8. Is Rapid Shot + Ranged Spell Combat = +6/+6//+8? Is Rapid Shot + Ranged Spellstrike = +8/+8//+8? Is Rapid Shot + Ranged Spell Combat + Ranged Spell Strike = +6/+6//+8//+6?
The Hunter ability 'nature training (ex)' says "a hunter counts her total hunter level as both druid levels and ranger levels for the purpose of qualifying for feats, traits, and options that modify or improve an animal companion” The Ranger class under Animal Companion says "A ranger's animal companion shares his favored enemy and favored terrain bonuses." Does a Hunter gain favored enemy/favored terrain class feature as a Ranger of equal level, so the Hunter can share this 'option' with their Animal Companion?

Cleric - Animal Domain: Speak with Animals is a level 3 bard spell, level 1 druid and ranger spell. According to the FAQ, Speak with Animals is a divine spell because it is being cast from a divine spell casting class. However, the current faqs do not specify whether this SLA is cast as a level 1 spell, a level 3 spell, or both a level 1 and level 3 spell (caster level = cleric level). Does anyone know what spell level(s) Speak with Animals SLA from the Cleric domain is cast as? ------ http://paizo.com/paizo/faq/v5748nruor1fm#v5748eaic9qow

Last night during a fight, our wizard's item familiar was stolen. He is a multiclass (double caster) and was saying that the penalty for losing his familiar carried over to his second caster class. He quoted: "If a wizard attempts to cast a spell without his bonded object worn or in hand, he must make a concentration check or lose the spell." as his reasoning. Is there really a penalty to the second casting class when losing a familiar?

A Cavalier "Spirited Charges" (3x damage with a lance) someone. If later in the same round another person provokes an attack of opportunity from the Cavalier, does the Cavalier's "Spirited Charge" bonus apply to the attack of opportunity? ... Cavalier's Charge (+4 to hit) bonus apply to the attack of opportunity? Basically, do bonuses that help with attacks last until the beginning of the character's next turn?
Do they?
Spirited Charge does triple damage with a lance and the level 4 scout (rogue archetype) allows sneak attack on a charge. Does the level 4 scout's sneak attack do triple damage during a lance charge/sneak attack? 3x(d8+2d6) or 3x(d8)+2d6?

Brass Knuckles: These close combat weapons are designed to fit comfortably around the knuckles, narrowing the contact area and therefore magnifying the amount of force delivered by a punch. They allow you to deal lethal damage with unarmed attacks. You may hold, but not wield, a weapon or other object in a hand wearing brass knuckles. You may cast a spell with a somatic component while wearing brass knuckles if you make a concentration check (DC 10 + the level of the spell you're casting). Monks are proficient with brass knuckles and can use their monk unarmed damage when fighting with them. If a monk dual wields brass knuckles, is the monk's 2nd attack an offhand attack?
Can a level 1 Gendarme (Cavalier Archetype) take Spirited Charge as their level 1 bonus feat without meeting the prerequisites of Spirited Charge? Feat: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/feats.html#_spirited-charge "Prerequisites: Ride 1 rank, Mounted Combat, Ride-By Attack."

UM Book - I am not sure if this has already been fixed. In my book on pages 158 and 147 (3-1 Feats) there is a typo.
My character leveled up last gaming session and I'm supposed to have it ready by tonight's game, but I can't decide which route to go. The options I am thinking about are L2 Fighter: Dodge + Crane Style (+1 BAB, -2 to hit, +4 to AC when fighting defensively) and L2 Zen Archer Weapon Focus (Composite Longbow) + either Dodge or Far Shot + 1 bonus level 3 feat (+1 BAB, +1 to hit, 2 feats). Which would you choose? If you choose something not listed, what would you choose instead?
Does a level 5 Gnome fighter qualify for Craft Wondrous Arms and Armor (gnomes can cast spell like abilities with caster levels = their character level)?
Level 10 Standard Bearer (Cavalier Archetype): Horse Master, Animal Ally, Eldritch Heritage -
Horse Master: "Use your character level to determine your effective druid level for determining the powers and abilities of your mount." Animal Ally: "You gain an animal companion as if you were a druid of your character level –3 from the following list: badger, bird, camel, cat (small), dire rat, dog, horse, pony, snake (viper), or wolf. If you later gain an animal companion through another source (such as the Animal domain, divine bond, hunter's bond, mount, or nature bond class features), the effective druid level granted by this feat stacks with that granted by other sources." Eldritch Heritage: "Select one sorcerer bloodline. You must have Skill focus in the class skill that bloodline grants to a sorcerer at 1st level (for example, Heal for the celestial bloodline). This bloodline cannot be a bloodline you already have. You gain the first-level bloodline power for the selected bloodline. For purposes of using that power, treat your sorcerer level as equal to your character level – 2, even if you have levels in sorcerer. You do not gain any of the other bloodline abilities." Sylvan Bloodline: " At 1st level, you gain an animal companion. Your effective druid level for this ability is equal to your sorcerer level – 3 (minimum 1st)." Boon Companion: "The abilities of your animal companion or familiar are calculated as though your class were 4 levels higher, to a maximum effective druid level equal to your character level. If you have more than one animal companion or familiar, choose one to receive this benefit. If you lose or dismiss an animal companion or familiar that has received this benefit, you may apply this feat to the replacement creature." What is the effective level of the animal companion? Would it cap at 10, because that is the players level? Would it be 14 because the level cap is 10 and the boon companion is 4 (10+4=14)? Would the Animal Ally levels stack with either of those numbers (10+7=17 or 14+7=21)? Would Eldritch Heritage affect any of these numbers to determine the level of the animal companion?
One of my players had a question that I didn't know the answer. He wants to play a multiclass character, level 8 inquisitor/level 4 gunslinger (if the character lasts that long). He is wondering if the Pistolero and Mysterious Stranger archetypes (Gunslinger) would stack, since between level 1 and level 4, none of the alternate class features alter the same base class feature. Do you know if these archetypes would stack in this case?
There are classes in Pathfinders Modules, various magazines, etc. For example, the Hellknight Commander prestige class appears in Council of Thieves: What lies in Dust module. Is there a list somewhere to separate the classes considered '3rd party' from the classes that are legal?
If a Hippogriff Rider takes the prestige class Mammoth Rider, can the Ranger still use the Hippogriff as her mount? Does the Hippogriff grow huge and gain other benefits like the steeds listed in Mammoth Rider? "Steed (Ex)
Arsinoitherium, aurochs, baluchitherium, camel, cat (big), elk, horse, mastodon (elephant), megaloceros, rhinoceros, triceratops, wolf, or woolly mammoth (use stats for a mastodon). A GM might expand this list to include other possible steeds. This steed functions as a druid's animal companion, replacing any animal companion or mount gained from another class. The mammoth rider's class levels stack with other classes that grant an animal companion to determine her effective druid level. Gigantic Steed (Ex)
I am making a mounted archer. So far, I have these two build ideas: L1 Dragoon (Fighter Archetype) +1 (Mounted Combat, Skill Focus (Ride), (L1) Mounted Archery)

I GM a game. Last session, one of my players brought in a Human L3 Zen Archer (Monk Archetype)/L1 Emissary (Cavalier Archetype). Monk says both "When wearing armor, using a shield, or carrying a medium or heavy load, a monk loses his AC bonus, as well as his fast movement and flurry of blows abilities." and that L3 monks get +10 movement speed. Emissary says "In or Out of the Saddle (Ex) At 1st level, an emissary gains Mounted Combat as a bonus feat. In addition, he can move at normal speed when wearing medium armor." Does the Emissary ability cancel out the monk penalty for wearing medium armor? What is this character's speed?

In this thread, I am seeking GMs and players to post rules they find conflicting, ambiguous, or unclear; rules that GMs have to rule on when they come up during a gaming session. To start off this thread: Can players see beyond their perception bonus + 200 feet?
Are attacks with the primary hand considered primary attacks? Are primary attacks made with the primary hand? Are these two questions like a venn diagram where sometimes they are not the case?
The spell Blood Money says:
1 point of Strength damage, plus a further point of damage for every full 500 gp of the component's value (so a component worth 500–999 gp costs a total of 2 points, 1,000–1,500 costs 3, etc.). You cannot create magic items with blood money. Is this further point of damage - strength damage? If not, was it intended to be strength damage?
A lot of people on the message board have been asking about how to raise caster levels for various reasons, recently. Can we, as a community, come up with a completed list of caster level bonuses from traits, feats, items, class abilities, etc.?

Does Cape of Bravado make Still Spell pointless? "when held in one hand while draped over the arm, the cape obscures its user's movements in combat." In its entirety, the description of Cape of Bravado is as follows: "This bright red garment bestows no benefit when worn on the shoulders, but when held in one hand while draped over the arm, the cape obscures its user's movements in combat. Used this way, the cape bestows a +1 insight bonus to AC and a +5 competence bonus on Bluff checks to feint in combat. Readying the cape in combat is a move action; if the wielder has a base attack bonus of +1 or higher, the wielder can ready the cape as a free action as part of movement. Once per day as an immediate action, a creature brandishing a cape of bravado may attempt to compel an opponent within 30 feet to attack him on its next turn (Will negates DC 11)."
Eyes of the Eyebite: "These glasses look like golden teeth holding a pair of green-tinted lenses. The wearer may use eyebite 11 times per day on command, affecting one target for each use of the spell. The wearer does not need to use these rounds consecutively, but each activation is a standard action (unlike the spell, in which targeting a new foe is a swift action). If the wearer removes the glasses, the eyebite effects immediately end." I have been reverse pricing items to see what is overpriced/underpriced (because I have lots of time to kill). This item's book price is 30,000g. To make this item from the spell Eyebite (Caster Level 6 x Spell Level 11 x 1,800 (command word) x 11/5 (charges per day) = 261,360 g Did paizo mess up when they wrote the description of this item? Did paizo seriously under price this item? Is my understanding of how to reach the price incorrect?
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/artifacts/minor-artifacts/deck-of-many- things Jack of Hearts = Gain the service of a Level 4 fighter. My DM threw in a Deck of Many things and I mathematically figured out the magic number of cards to draw is 7 (to have slightly less than a 50% chance to draw one of the "I'm dead" cards). One of the 7 cards I drew was the Jack of Hearts and poof, a L4 fighter joins the party. This member of the party gained XP from adventuring and leveled.... up until the DM questioned me today whether the L4 fighter can gain levels. Can the Jack of Hearts L4 fighter from the Deck of Many Things gain levels?
Human: Unarmed Fighter
""need not meet all the prerequisites of the style feat he chooses,"" but style feats that grant additional uses of the Elemental Fist feat cannot be taken until the unarmed fighter has that feat." Q. If the Human, Unarmed Fighter takes Earth Child Style, does s/he gain +6 dodge bonus to AC? "Benefit: While using this style, your defensive training dodge bonus to AC increases to +6. Further, against creatures of the giant subtype, you can add your Wisdom bonus on your unarmed strike damage rolls."
" Scrolls and potions whose base price is more than 250 gp, but less than 1,000 gp, take 8 hours to create, just like any other magic item. The character must spend the gold at the beginning of the construction process. Regardless of the time needed for construction, "" a caster can create no more than one magic item per day."" This process can be accelerated to 4 hours of work per 1,000 gp in the item's base price (or fraction thereof) by increasing the DC to create the item by 5. The caster can work for up to 8 hours each day." Does this 'one item per day' rule apply to making L1 potions and scrolls?
Does Cooperative Crafting (+2 circumstance bonus) stack with masterwork artisan tools (+2 circumstance bonus). If not, who would ever take Cooperative Crafting feat?
