If I have a lv 11 fighter with a base attack of +11,+6,+1. If take a full round attack action and I choose to make my first 2 attacks with my melee weapon and choose to use my 3rd attack as a trip attempt do I use +1 as my BAB for calculating my CMB or do I use the full +11?

Can you use the entangle spell in a place where there are no plants?

Do you use your CMB + D20 for a trip attack or do you use a normal weapon attack for a trip attack?

Can you use the barbarian rage power strength surge with a trip attack?

I also wanted to double check this, are the only weapons you can use in a trip attack the weapons that have the special quality trip attached to their description or can you use other weapons to trip also?

If you apply 2 meta magic feats to the spell you selected for the Magical Lineage trait, do you subtract one spell level for each feat you add to it, or one from final result of both feat levels added together?

Thanks for the feed back all I appreciate it

If I use the metamagic feat heighten spell on cure critical wounds to lets say change it to a level 6 spell, would the amount of die I roll also change from the 4d8 of the original 4th level spell to 6D8 at the 6th level version of it?

Of the "extra" feats only extra channel does not say you can take it multiple times to stack. I just want to confirm you can not take it multiple times, is that right?

A heavy shield says you can't use you shield hand for anything else. the wood weighs 10 lbs the steel weighs 15 lbs. If I make a heavy steel shield mithral it would weigh 7.5 pounds which is 1.5 pounds heavier then a light steel shield (which allows you to carry things in your shield hand) and 2.5 pounds lighter then the heavy wooden shield which does not. Can I carry things in my shield hand such as potions if I am wearing a heavy steel shield made out of mithral?

How do you identify larger object with magical properties? lets say a statue or a pool of liquid or anything that isn't a standard magic item really. Can you determine their exact magical properties (if it has any) through spell craft or in any other way?

Also if permanent illusion is cast on an area can you tell both that it is an illusion school magic and that is is the spell is permanent image for instance?

Is there a level requirement for making stat boosting items such as a belt of strength + something the same way there is for a weapon armor or ring + something? In other words do you need to have a caster level X3 to make a belt of strength of a certain number (6th level to make +2, 12th level to make a +4, 18th to make +6 stat boost item)?

My second question is can you make odd number belt's like +1, +3 or +5 belts? If so is it also the same 9th level to make +3 and 15th to make +5?

I can not figure out if these items have those types of requirements. Tanks for the feedback

If 3 pc's are surrounding a target and that target provokes an AoO from all 3, is there an order to attacks of opportunity or are they considered to happen at the same time? If so how is the order determined? I ask because if 1 pc (that would go first)would trip the target with his AoO and the other AoO's go after then the target gains the prone condition for the purposes of their AoO's does that make sense?

Can you use combat maneuvers such as trip or grapple instead of a melee attack as an attack of opportunity? tx

I am going to DM a adventure for a group of my friends in the near future and am struggling between choosing counsel of thieves and kingmaker. I know kingmaker isn't quite out yet but was wondering of anyone had any feedback or opinions as to possible pros and cons of the two paths. Maybe just differences between them or how they play different or anything I else you can think of to help me choose. I'm really stomped because they both sound great. IDK if that even makes sense but I guess I'm just trying to get any kind of feedback I can to help me alonge since once I choose its such a long term commitment for us all. Any input would be much appreciated. Tx a lot all

I was wondering if there was a players guide for the kingmaker adventure path I can get somewhere. I can't seem to find it, does anyone know if it is planed, or what its called, or when it will be released? Tx

I want to run a second darkness campaign and need to find copies of the player guide for the campaign. I would prefer to find it printed but pdf would also work. I can not find it here on the paizo site and amazon has it listed as - Pathfinder Player's Guide: Second Darkness Player's Guide but there are no copies available anywhere. Does anyone know where I could get a hold of this guide printed or pdf I really want to find it. Thanks a lot for the help

I was wondering, Do I get attacks of opportunity when I have greater trip and succeed at a trip or when I have greater overrun and knock my opponent prone? It says in greater bull rush that I do not but others do but does not say in greater trip or overrun I assume this means I do is that correct?

My second questions relates to tireless rage class feature. It seems as if you could rage at the beginning of every round and drop out of rage at the end without and negative consequences is that right? If so I again assume that every round would be considered a new rage which would in turn mean that at the beginning of every round I would have all rage powers with the once per rage limitation available to regardless of whether I used them the previous round. Is it true that if I drop in and then out of rage every round all my once/rage powers would be available to me every round?

Tx again for the feedback all

The first question is probably pretty obvious but I want to confirm. Under the buckler it says that if you fight with a weapon in both hands or use your off hand to help on a 2 handed weapon you get a -1 to hit. It also says that if you attack with a weapon in your off hand you lose the AC bonus for that round. I says nothing specifically there about using your off hand to help with a 2H weapon for an att. Do you retain the AC bonus from a buckler if you use the off hand to help with a 2 handed weapon for that round?

Second is a question about a prone opponent: it says that you get a -4 AC to melee attacks which makes sense to me but it says nothing about having negatives to hit or dam. on melee attacks. That seems very odd to me as it almost has to be harder to hit with a melee weapon while you are laying on the floor since you have limited maneuverability and it seems like those attacks would be much easier to avoid. If you visualize(or at least when I do) someone laying on the floor in front of you trying to hit you with a melee weapon it just feels like that would be much more difficult then if he is standing. In my mind they almost look silly trying, poking at me from the floor with a sword or trying to crush my toes with a blunt weapon. Swinging up is highly ineffective since they have no leverage and all that. It should even be a much weaker attack as far as power(like half less str bonus to dam.) as well as less likely to hit. Since medium opponent that actual part of you they can attack from laying down are much fewer that should also make the attacks easier to avoid. My question is, is it true that there are no negative effects to your melee att chances or damage results while prone? Is it further true that prone characters do not lose there dex bonus to ac? That also seems odd to me though not as odd as laying prone not effecting your melee att chance or dam. Is this just a game balancing issue that in a real situation makes no sense? One that had to be applied to stop things like trip becoming to powerful? I really don't have a problem if that's true, some things are just necessary for balance, I'm just curious.

I just want to confirm these things as the prone thing seems odd to me and I just want to get the definitive word on the buckler, thanks for the feedback all

I was wondering can you choose to use a power attack when you make an attack of opportunity? How about a vital strike can that be used with an attack of opport.?

I heard from someone that you could combine trip with whirlwind attack so that you could attempt to trip everyone in reach(instead of attacking them). If that is true and you have the greater trip feat it seems to make sense that you would then get an attack of opportunity on each person you successfully trip(assuming you can make more then one attack of opport. per round) is that correct?

In the description of the whirlwind feat it reads that you lose all bonuses and extra attacks from feats abilities, spells and abilities. What are the limits of that if any? Does that include losing the damage bonus you get from strength boost due to spells (like bull's strength) or even from the rage class feature? Does that mean you can not power attack with whirlwind? Would you even lose the extra attacks of opportunity from the combat reflexes feat? It reads a bit to broad so I'm not sure, thanks for the feedback, Tony

I was wondering if you multiply the damage from power attack on a successful critical hit?

Another question I was wondering about is if I have a wand of scorching ray can I attack someone I am adjacent 2 with it since it is a ranged touch attack or do I have to be at range?

If I can attack an adjacent character with the wand of scorching ray will this provoke and attack of opportunity?

Lastly can I faint(assuming I have improved faint) that adjacent opponent with the wand of scorching ray and then ranged touch attack him without provoking an attack of opportunity?

Does anyone know roughly how long it would take to craft a full plate armor with a base craft of 12 assuming you roll a 10 at the end of each week(so 22 total)? Maybe I am reading it wrong but it almost seems as if that would take more then 35 weeks at a craft roll of 22 at the end of each week due to its 1500gp base cost, is that right? It just seems super long to me.

If my pc and my friends pc are flanking an opponent and we get an attack of opportunity on that opponent for whatever reason does it make sense that I would get to add my sneak att dam. to the att of opp?

Can you combine power att and vital strike? It seems to make sense but I want to make sure. Also in the that same way could you combine power att combat expertise and vital strike in one round?

I was wondering if these things worked. Does damage from the arcane strike feat stack with the damage from a magic weapon, e.g. +1, +2 etc?

my second question was weather you could use the combat expertise feat in combination with the disarm feats? In other words if I am going to attempt to disarm someone can I sill apply the AC bonus from combat expertise? Thanks for all your helpful responses all.

I was wondering if a rogue milti classed with a spell caster get his sneak attack damage added to spells that are damaging in nature, such as burning hands or magic missile or even fire ball if the spells target is flat footed? Does he add sneak att. dam. to either touch, ranged touched or ranged damaging spells, all or none of these? I'm not sure and would love to get the definitive answer on this. Thanks a lot everyone, and happy holidays, Tony

Me and my party just went to the final battle at thistle top and one of our characters was blinded by the spell from the mage. Our DM said that the fortitude save target roll for her spell was 18. He is a new at pathfinder and after thinking about it I was wondering if he had made a mistake. From what I can tell that would mean she has an int of 22. 10 plus spell level 2 plus relevant modifier which would need to be +6 hence 22. That seems really high for a relatively love level character. Is that correct, does she have a 18 save target on her blindness spell? Tx Tony

I was wondering if anyone knew of the top of their head if anyone in Sandpoint in Rise of the Runelords can remove magical blindness? Do any of the NPC's have the spell available or even some other means if that exists? Tx
