Which ones (if any) do this?

I've noticed about 90% of the games are PbP here. Is there a place for VTT games?

So, first off some relevant quotes from the rules:

"While fused with his eidolon, the synthesist uses the eidolon’s physical ability scores (Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution), but retains his own mental ability scores (Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma)."

"While fused, the synthesist loses the benefits of his armor. He counts as both his original type and as an outsider for any effect related to type, whichever is worse for the synthesist. Spells such as banishment or dismissal work normally on the eidolon, but the synthesist is unaffected. Neither the synthesist nor his eidolon can be targeted separately, as they are fused into one creature. The synthesist and eidolon cannot take separate actions. While fused with his eidolon, the synthesist can use all of his own abilities and gear, except for his armor."

By my reading that indicates that the Synth ability and the Mutagen stack because the two entities are 'fused into one creature' that 'can use all of (the character's) abilities and gear save armour.

I just walked away from a game because another player insisted (and would have kept insisting) that was not the case.

Anyone?

Forest Ambush (Combat)

Source Heroes of the Wild pg. 22
Your deep knowledge of natural environments allows you to take your enemy by surprise, dealing a deadly blow.

Prerequisites: Stealth 1 rank, Survival 1 rank.

Benefit: In natural environments, you can spend 5 minutes to cover yourself in loose debris (such as branches, grass, or dirt) and take 20 on a Stealth check. You fall prone and are considered to have concealment for purposes of being allowed to attempt Stealth checks. As a full-round action that doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity, you can burst from your hiding place, stand, and make a single melee attack or ranged attack against a target within 30 feet. If the target didn’t notice you before you jumped from hiding and your attack hits, that attack deals an additional 1d6 points of precision damage. Effects that negate sneak attack damage also negate this damage.

What is the Paizo definition of 'Natural Environment' here?

Just what it says,

Thanks in advance :)

The Wizard Level Chart maxes out on a Wizard preparing 4 spells per level per day. Is there any way to increase the number of *different* spells a wizard can prepare beyond 4 per level?

Thanks in advance

Hey folks,

Can an Arcanist use the Ray Combat Feats on their Exploits as a Mage would on a Ray Spell (IE Weapon Focus: Rays, Point Blank Shot etc)?

Thanks in Advance

OH

Greets folks,

Do the benefits of the Hunter Packmaster (or other similar) also apply to Animal Companions gained via another source (for example the Animal Domain)?

Thanks in Advance,

Can a Gunslinger or a class archetype featuring pistols 'fan the hammer' IE empty his revolver in one round like in the old west movies?

If so, where is this in the rules?

Thanks folks,

OH

Just to be sure, can you throw multiple splash weapons if you have Two Weapon Fighting. Is the penalty -2/-2 on the ATT rolls?

TiA :)

OH

Greets,

The Cutthroat needs to burn his 2nd level Slayer talent for Opportune Target. Does this then mean that he cannot opt for a Ranger combat Style down the line, say at 4th level?

Thanks in Advance,

OH

Making a Magus Card Caster/Rogue Sniper. Would like to know if there is any way to 'fan the hammer' IE fire multiple cards with ever increasing penalties on the attack rolls for each in one round aka Bullseye.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance

OH

Possible? If so how?

Thanks in Advance

OH

Anyone have the complete stats for one of these?

Thanks in advance

OH

Can these guys use SC/SS with firearms? As written it seems like a no but given that rogues can SA within 30 feet (yes I know, not exactly the same thing mechanically) does it not seem somewhat like a worst of both worlds build?

Here's an archetype that screams ranged combat but using it means nerfing one of the major aspects of the class itself.

Or have I got this completely wrong?

Thanks in advance,

OH

Normally shield bonuses do not stack, this is understood. Has this changed at all with the advent of the Kasatha as a playable character race (IE can a Kasatha carry more than one shield and receive AC bonuses from each)?

Thanks in advance

OH

Greets folks,

This quote is taken from the Cestus descriptor:

Benefit: While wearing a cestus, you are considered armed and your unarmed attacks deal normal damage. If you are proficient with a cestus, your unarmed strikes may deal bludgeoning or piercing damage. Monks are proficient with the cestus.

This quote is taken for the Amulet of Mighty Strikes"

This amulet grants an enhancement bonus of +1 to +5 on attack and damage rolls with unarmed attacks and natural weapons.

So the question is does the amulet work with the cestus?

I ask because the wording of the cestus seems to imply that if proficient, they become part of an unarmed attack by virtue of the fact the unarmed attacks can now deal two different types of damage.

Thanks in advance,

OH

Can someone please clarify exactly which spells fall under the elements descriptors

IE, does Earth include Acid? Does Water include Cold?

The reason I ask this is that it looks like if it is only the Earth descriptor that counts then there is no way you can prepare an extra Earth spell on the Wizard spell list from levels 1 through 9 as there are only 20 spells with the Earth descriptor from *all* classes. Air and Water are even worse.

Only Fire has a decent selection.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance
OH

Does Bleeding Attack work on the Sneak Attack of the Greensting Slayer as well as that of the Rogue?

Thanks in advance
OH

If you take the Bastard Sword as an Exotic Weapon Proficiency can you wield one sized for a large creature 2 handed?

Thanks

OH

Greets,

I was always under the impression that there was a cleric spell for preserving the dead but cannot seem to find it. Am I missing something? Will a bag of holding do this? Is there another magic item that will?

Thanks, OH

What would an enchantment for DR5/Arrows (IE Ranged Weapons) cost on armour?

Would it be cheaper as say a ring or other slotted worn magic item?

Thanks in advance,

From the Greater Grapple Feat:

Benefit: You receive a +2 bonus on checks made to grapple a foe. This bonus stacks with the bonus granted by Improved Grapple. Once you have grappled a creature, maintaining the grapple is a move action. This feat allows you to make two grapple checks each round (to move, harm, or pin your opponent), but you are not required to make two checks. You only need to succeed at one of these checks to maintain the grapple.

From the Brawler Playtest (Unarmed Strike feature):

At 1st level, a brawler gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. A brawler’s attacks may be with fist, elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a brawler may make unarmed strikes with her hands full.

Question: Does this mean that a Brawler with Greater Grapple can maintain and grapple and still get off his Brawlers Flurry?

I know there is the move action/full round action mechanic there. However, in the spirit of what this class is supposed to be it just feels right that they should be versatile enough to do something like that. Hold them with the leg scissors, beat on them with the fists. Get them in as headlock, knee them in the nuts. Just feels real brawlery.

RAW obviously is a no.

Thoughts on RAI?

Thanks in advance

OH

When buying a +1 suit of armour is the standard market price 1000 gp or is it 1000 gp +150 for masterwork + the cost of the armour itself?

Thanks in advance

OH

Greets folks,

Need some advice:

As probably you all know marble is mined in quarries as opposed to a mine in the traditional sense. The tool that they have used in the fairly recent past and use today are diamond bladed saws (diamond wire saws as well, but I'm concentrating on the former).

Here is the dilemma. The blade of a diamond bladed saw in which diamonds are inserted into the actual cutting edge, you could chalk up to Dwarven Metalsmithing. However, given that the blade needs to move at a higher speed than possible by using simple human brute force, a method of locomotion would be required.

There is possibly steam power, but I'd rather not have to go there. Ergo, how would you create that locomotion magically? What spells would be required?

Keep in mind this is a process that has to last a long long time so it is probable that Permanency will be in there somewhere.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

OH

Couple of questions here:

A) Are the AnCom levels added into one pool so that a Pack Lord can use all character levels to divide among different AnComs via Pack Bond?

B) If A is true are the AnCom features (Pack Tactics, Improved Empathic Link)of each archtype usable by all of the Pack Bond AnComs?

Thanks in advance,

OH

Can a character with that build add a bomb to an arrow or bolt

"At 2nd level, a grenadier can infuse a weapon or piece of ammunition with a single harmful alchemical liquid or powder, such as alchemist’s fire or sneezing powder, as a move action. This action consumes the alchemical item, but transfers its effect to the weapon in question."

Thanks in advance,

OH

In regards to the Oracle's Wrecked Curse do worn things like clothes armour rings etc count as Held Items?

Thanks,

OH

Just checking to be sure, can you deliver a touch attack through a gauntlet or do the hands have to be bare?

Even better question, must you deliver a touch attack with your hand at all?

Thanks

OH

Hey folks,

Building a Fighter (Unarmed Fighter)/Magus (Spire Defender)

So some questions here:

1) Does a successful grapple attempt allow for the delivering of touch attacks be they from a spell or from class/archetype ability?

2) Does a successful grapple attempt allow for the delivering of spells via Spellstrike?

3) Does a successful Unarmed Strike allow for the delivering of touch attacks be they from a spell or from class/archetype ability?

4) Does a successful Unarmed Strike allow for the delivering of spells via Spellstrike?

Thanks in advance :)

Ok, so I've joined the PFS and have made a 1st lvl character in accordance with the outlines in the PFS Guide to Organized Play. But when I log into my account there is no record of said character.

Help?

Thanks in advance,

OH

Hey folks,

Not even sure if this is the right forum for this but here goes.

This is my first foray into PFS and I'm exclusively an online player. I've just registered a character though tbh I thought there would be more to it as there wasn't enough room in the special abilities section to list all of his special abilities, traits and feats (he is 5th level). Now that I have registered him, do I get some kind of confirmation that he indeed is registered and passed inspection? Is there more to fill out (say like buying his equipment for example or all of the missing stuff I talked about above)?

Sorry for the rookie questions,

Thanks in advance,

OH

Greets,

Is there a lesser rate to make items that only boost one save as opposed to all three (AKA Cloak of Resistance)

As well, when doing say something that works only 3/Day it says this:

Divide by (5 divided by charges per day).

This means in this case 5 divided by 3 correct? IE 1.67?

Greets folks,

This looks like it answers itself but I just wanted to be sure.

A Druid who casts Entangle must then cast Feather Step to move unimpeded through that area or does Woodland Stride cover that?

Thanks in advance,

OH

Does the Spell Specialization feat follow the Summon Monster series of spells up the ladder? IE if I get Spell Specialization on Summon Monster II does it apply to SM III, SM IV etc?

Thanks,

OH

Are Elves with the Alternate Racial Trait Lightbringer immune to the effects of Flash Powder?

Thanks in advance,

OH

Here is a direct quote from a spell.

The spell can be centered on a creature, and the effect then radiates from the creature and moves as it moves. An unwilling creature can attempt a Will save to negate the spell and can use Spell Resistance, if any.

So, I'm a summoner and I call forth some eagles and I want to cast this spell on one of them so that it is the center of an Area of Effect and I can control that center.

Does the critter get a save when I attempt to cast it? IE is the creature assumed to be wiling or unwilling when summoned?

Thanks,

OH

Does the Cavalier Mount Levels stack with the Druid Animal Companion Levels?

Thanks OH
