Meddling Monk's page

Yeah, any link that goes to https://secure.paizo.com (such as the main messageboards page) gets redirected to paizo.com, while links to other parts of paizo.com (including individual threads) work just fine.

Looks like the secure server is borked.

FYI, I'm having the same issue, and am posting in this thread for the same reason as Raazan (i.e., this thread came up in Google when I searched for the problem, and I can't get at the message board [or my account] in any other way).

I just bought the Pathfinder Humble Bundle and was trying to figure out how to download it.

Might want to add a blog post on the home page explaining there's an issue, to save more people the headache of trying to figure out what's going on.

Makes sense, thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm still wondering if you should be allowed to use the magic weapon bonus when using the weapon in these ways... (i.e., would my +2 Fey Bane Great Axe, for example, be a +2 Fey Bane improvised weapon, or just a plain improvised weapon?).

I'm trying to find a ruling that allows me to use a slashing weapon (Great Axe in this case) to do bludgeoning damage. I would think you could use the flat of the blade and treat it as an improvised weapon, but how exactly would this work? Could you still get the magical bonus for a magical weapon, and how much damage would it do? The rules for improvised weapons are extremely vague (only a single paragraph).

(The particular situation is a potential encounter against a Lich, which has DR 15/Bludgeoning and Magic...I'm wondering if there's a way to use the flat of the axe to get around the DR, instead of having to Power Attack to try to get through the DR.)
