I have a question about food, my PCs just dont have enough on them, do they need to eat in the boneyard? I dont see any food in the adventure.

Do the pcs wake up in their birthday suits or just bedtime clothes. Also spell components or armor .

Rogues cant get weapon focus at 1st level right ?

If I am in a emergency force sphere with a enemy right next to it that has reach i.e. a giant and I cast a spell does he get an AOO? I am casting shadow step to escape basically.

Thanks this was really helpful, I also found other info on power gaming, what feats achieve that. From what I found there is not a lot to me that this happens...I'm curious if anyone knows how to do this. I'm mostly interested in the concept of it. I know my gm has allowed me in the even that I can figure it out, but it appears like paizo did a good job nerfing this possibility.

Power gaming describes player motivations not the resulting character.

If you are playing the game to be powerful and that guides all your actions, then you are power gaming.

I like this build for fighters. You wield a shield while still swinging two-handed. Feat like Exta Advanced Training have been abbreviated out of the description.

1. Shield Brace, Shield Focus, Combat Reflexes
2. Blind-Fight
3. Armor training, Master Armorer
4. Power Attack
5. Weapon Training (Polearms), Versatile Training (Diplomacy, Sense Motive)
6. Cut from the Air
7. Adaptable Training (Knowledge Engineering), Guarded Charge
8. Armor Specialization
9. Smash From the Air, Versatile Training (Bluff, Intimidate)
10. Armed Bravery
11. Armored Juggernaut, Dazzling Assault
12. Pin Down
13. Warrior Spirit, Adaptable Training (Acrobatics)
14. Adaptable Training (Climb)
15. Adaptable Training (Disguise), Fighter’s Reflexes
16. Improved Initiative
17.Trained Initiative, Sprightly Armor
18. Armored Sacrifice
19. Armor Mastery, Devastating Assault
20. Weapon Mastery, Weapon Sacrifice

I like this build but I am playing the Giant slayer campaign and some wont work well against giants,like cut from the air / guarded charge.. how could we adapt this build to be better against giants ?

Can I make these ? durable arrows is from the elves hand book

I have in mind a dwarf monk using the earth style feat. I would start at 7th. I thought mountain splitting strike would also be a useful feat. Power attack? Only have a rough thought on this character and would love some input from some great character builders. 20 point buy.

Do I take magical lineage for bestow curse ? what metamagic feat do I use for it..
This is for giantslayer AP.

We are currently playing Giantslayer and we have a Human Bloodrager, Sorc going for Dragon disc , cleric and hunter.. we are at 7th, I would like to build a 7th level full bab character that can survive this deadly AP.. thoughts ?

bump .. need this answered

Only classes from advanced players guide and base books. Start at 2nd level , no summoners.

Thoughts? I was thinking rogue wizard 1/1 and then wizard, fighter / cleric 1/1 then cleric using archer fighter and then not sure..

We are about to start doing some serious Giantslaying in the above AP.. How should our cleric play it.. concentrate on reach melee with longspear and self buffs and heals or go casting command and hold person and other enchantments

So guys SCL looks a bummer so I was wondering what computer game that actually uses the 3.5 rule set would be good to play.. suggestions ?

So is a Dwarf Slayer going TWF a good choice for the Giantslayer campaign ?. I will have to take endurance in the first 4 levels somewhere as we are playing with some of the unchained rules including the hit point rules (taking negatives as you get more and more damaged).

My thoughts were Power attack 1st level , twf 2, endurance 3, trap finding 4 (no rogue in the party).

Thoughts ?

Bump this post

Our DM will be running Giantslayer using the would threshold rules from unchained, that means in combat healing becomes ALOT more important I think. So a cleric that can in combat heal is now a viable build.

I would like to put together a cleric for this campaign, feats and archtypes suggestions would be good.

My thoughts would be selective channeling but then what extra channel or some other feat to improve it.. means the cleric becomes more MAD if she/he wants to do damage aswell.

Halfing/Human Ninja or dwarf slayer..

Have a bard/barb/mounted cleric and arcane caster of some sort so I was thinking Rogue of some sort as I have never played one.
20 point buy, any pathfinder books.

Thoughts and why

Reach evanglist cleric or summoning/caster cleric? Dwarf cleric or human ? 20 point buy with just core books UC UM UCamp. Thoughts?

Will have a Barb, inquisitor and mage of some sort. I was going to play a cleric and try and get the Inq to take the camp trait for traps. I was thinking a anti undead build. I have 17,15,14,12,10 and 9 for stats to play with.

Thoughts ??

I will be the cleric for mummy mask AP but I also will be the trap find / disabler. I will take the campaign trait to find / disable traps.

I have to use the following abilities
17
15
14
12
10
9

I can be an assimar.

I play good characters, I dont want to be an archer cleric as im playing a archer ranger in the current campaign.

I was going to take Sarenrae with sub domain Revelation but they changed that in the new inner sea gods. I need perception as a class skill and im not interested in Abadar.

Thoughts on what I should do. Oh the other classes will be Barb/oracle, Inquisitor and Sorc.

If a cleric gets a domain, lets say Sun, do they automatically get all the sub domains ? I just checked Herolab and Sarenrae and she has lost the sub domain of Revelation or has Herolab got it wrong. If not what has changed.

no good clerics Ravingdork ?

what about going CN/N instead.. does that open any thing ?

I am in Shattered star campaign. 3 players , we have a Wizard (conj) and a 2 hand dwf fighter. We do have NPCs that have joined as cohorts but we just lost our Cleric npc and My ranger died in the same fight.

We need a cleric and a scout, can I combine it somehow ? I would like to be a good aligned character. I would like to stay pure cleric some how.

20 point build
Base races or 18 point buy for non standard races.
starting at 4th level. 5000gp to spend, There is a +1 flaming scimitar waiting for me with the party or +2 heavy flail.

thoughts ?

I have gone ranger 1st level.. do I take rogue for 2nd or 3rd in my Shattered star campaign ?
I think just 1 level to get the disarm trap/trap finding. Thoughts ?

To get the sneak damage the mob has to be flat footed .. so only in suprise round for a ranged sneak attack right ?

Whats a good build toboth heal and be the machine gun?
Im in a 3 pc party with elf conj wiz and dwf 2hand fighter.

About to start shattered star campaign and we don't have a rogue in the party. Should I get 1 level of rogue and then ranger or go Urban Ranger, must admit I don't like losing the chosen terrain benefit. I am going archer ranger fyi with 20 point buy. Any thoughts or suggestions.?

Spell specialization increases caster level while duration of daze from Dazing Spell is based on spell level, which are separate concepts.

Level.

Thanks for the responses.

at level 9, 10d6dmg and 3 or 5 rounds of daze ?

is there a better level 3 spell for specialization and combine with daze rod ?

I chose a amulet as my wizards bonded item..Can I only use amulet specific enchantments for it ? If so what would you suggest I put on it.
I am now 9th level.

What books are allowed?

What races are allowed?

Core books only , no advanced races though

So people dont like the intimidate build for JR?

I have decided to be the main Melee for our group. We will have a Sorcerer, Cleric, Magus and Ninja. I was thinking of going Samurai intimidate route. Way of the warrior, the only issue I have is that we dont have alot of range Damage except the sorc. Any thoughts?

A couple of the monsters come from the tomb of horrors revisited, I cant find that book anywere online, any ideas on where we can get some details and pictures of those monsters.

Woot cant wait, has to come all the way to Western Australia, mmm wonder how long it will take to get here?
