I realize that perusing these threads may expose us to spoilers, so I try to be careful, but titles that include spoilers give us no chance. Up until now, I thought reference to the "Twice Born" in our campaign referred to one of the PCs. Can we please confine spoilers to the body of the post ahnd include a spoiler warning in the title? Seems reasonable.
Apologies in advance if this issue has a clear, readily available answer. I swear I looked, but sometimes I steamroll right by the obvious. I have a mounted paladin/fighter, and I need to know what he can and cannot reach from the saddle. I can't seem to find it in the Pathfinder rules. In [url=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20050208a]Part Three of Skip Williams' [i]All About Mounts[i][url],he writes "you use your mount's space and your own reach (measured from the part of the space you and your mount share)" to determine what the rider can and cannot reach. Is this how it works for Pathfinder? Since a horse is 2 squares x 3 squares, and going from the horse's occupied squares, I take it that the rider and the mount share the same reach on the sides, but the rider suffers a 5' increment directly in front and behind, as such: 0 1 2 3 4
The mount is the bolded numbers. The rider sits between the 2's. So , for example, a rider's lance will reach the same square as the horse's natural weaponry in front of and behind the mount, to reach the 4's and 0's, but the rider will require an additional square on the sides to use the lance, or any reach '5 weapon. Conversely, wielding, say, a long sword, the rider could not hit an opponent adjacent to the horse's head or rear( squares #4 and #0, for lack of reach, but could reach an opponent adjacent to its sides. Is this correct? Any clarification is greatly appreciated.
I took the Leadership feat for a Kingmaker campaign and chose an Awakened Horse: horse 2 / magical beast 2, but considered Cohort 5. So, when I level him up, do I consider him currently character 4 or character level 5? Am I always using his Cohort Level as my guide, or is it all about HD/character level once he's mine?
Any talk of Radiant Charge I've seen in the forums indicates that it can only be used once a day. I don't see anything in the text that limits it as such. I understand that it uses all Lay On Hands, and a Paladin won't replenish those uses until the next day, but I don't see anything that says the feat can't be used again even when all LOH are expended, for the Cha bonus. Thoughts? I hope this hasn't already been discussed to death. I did some searches and haven't found this addressed. Spoiler: When you charge, you do so with the power of faith.
Prerequisites: Lay on hands class feature. Benefit: When you hit with a charge attack, you can expend all of your remaining uses of lay on hands to deal extra damage equal to 1d6 per use of lay on hands expended + your Charisma bonus. This damage comes from holy power and is not subject to damage reduction, energy immunities, or energy resistances. Paizo Peripheral
The Stalwart Defender"s "Defensive Stance" ability is a free action. As such, it seems to me that one could activate it at the end of the movement portion of a charge, stacking the mods for both DS and Charge for that first strike. Does this seem correct? I did a search. I don't think this question has come up yet. My DM is wary of anything that sounds too good, so I want to make sure I'm not missing something before discussing it with him. |
