Things (like the notes on Companion Reviving) get muddled when familiars (which are usually assumed to be living creatures) become otherwise. Most of the time, the clockwork familiar should follow the same rules (unless they don't make sense). Your clockwork rat familiar will function as a rat familiar (with less bonuses), your clockwork snake familiar will function as a snake familiar.

The wording there, notes:

Creatures with no character levels (such as animal companions and familiars) count as 1st level for the purpose of these spells, and therefore they take Constitution drain instead of negative levels.

This indicates that (usually) a familiar has no class levels, since most are small animals. If you had an improved familiar, or one that had 2 or more HD, then this wouldn't apply. So, in this case, assuming your clockwork familiar is modeled on a normal familiar, it would not count as your level (it might for other purposes), and would potentially take Con drain. As a Construct that's not an issue... but Constructs cannot be raised or resurrected either (without a ruling otherwise, like a cyborg or android or something with a soul).

Normally you can't repair destroyed constructs either.

A construct that has been completely destroyed cannot be repaired, though at the GM’s option some of the materials may be usable in the construction of a new construct.

Maybe you can salvage some to reduce the cost building a new construct.

But, as a familiar, you should be able to follow the rules for replacing a familiar, even as a construct.

If a familiar is dismissed, lost, or dies, it can be replaced 1 week later through a specialized ritual that costs 200 gp per wizard level. The ritual takes 8 hours to complete.

So, you should be able to replace your clockwork familiar like a normal familiar after a week at a cost of 200 gp times your level.

Make whole effects can repair the construct, but I don't believe it will restore a destroyed one. Those spells seem to differentiate 'magic items' and constructs, even ones constructed with Craft Construct and are otherwise similar to crafting a magic item.

I am not 100% sure that I am understanding your intentions or desires. For me, it seems most logical to just create a magic item to not just recharge wands, but transfer charges. While, thematically having a 'battery wand' makes sense, mechanics-wise, it probably would be a rod (thus require Craft Rod, but you can always let them find or buy one).

You just need to come up with a workable, relatively simple mechanic for moving charges. Obviously you can get as complicated or detailed as you wish. If I were to try and whole-cloth something up quickly on the fly (and again, apologies if this is way off what you're looking for):

Could give your party one with 10 or 15 charge capacity remaining and see what they do. If they immediately try and abuse it, start adding the mitigators before putting a new one in play..

Overlord Bloodline
You come from a lineage of chieftains, overlords, tyrants, betrayers, and leaders or from a race or family that served or learned from them and is ready to start their own lineage. You don't have to be wicked to benefit from these talents, but it helps.

Bonus Feats: Any teamwork or betrayal feats (including Quick Correction and Stepping Stool), Brilliant Planner, Chosen One, Combat Advice, Leadership, Persuasive, Sinister Reputation.

Bonus Spells: shield companion (AA) (7th), bleed for your master (10th), perfect placement (13th), die for your master (16th)

18. Toss Draw
Description: You can draw an item immediately after tossing an item.
Prerequisites: Quick Draw
Benefits: After throwing an item, as a free action you can draw another item that would require a move action or less to retrieve. After the first attack with a thrown item, additional thrown attacks that round are at a +1 haste bonus to attack and do not provoke attacks of opportunity due to their speed. This benefit is lost while slowed or otherwise unable to benefit from haste effects.
The retrieved item need not be a weapon and includes alchemical items, potions, scrolls, and wands. Dropping items does not trigger this feat, but tossing or throwing items into the user's space does. It does not include spell effects, such as throwing flames from produce flame, but can include spell-related actions, such as tossing the targets of magic stone or the creature from a bag of tricks (GM's discretion).
Normal: Without this feat, you need a move action to draw a weapon or item after throwing. With Quick Draw you can draw weapons freely, but not other items.

19. Scatterbrained
Description: You can lose focus and let your mind wander to avoid the full effects of mental damage.
Prerequisites: Iron Will, must have an Intelligence score.
Benefits: Whenever you are subject to mental damage or drain, you may opt to distribute it among all your mental abilities as evenly as possible or, as an immediate action, half all mental damage and drain taken (minimum 1) for the remainder of the round and be dazed on your next turn. If you cannot be dazed, you lose all actions on your next turn instead. This feat does not reduce penalties to mental abilities, though see below.
Once per day as a standard action, for each mental ability, you may attempt a Fortitude save (DC 15) to restore 2 points of damage, 1 point of drain, or remove a penalty from that ability.
Anytime this feat is used, you are scatterbrained and at a –2 distraction penalty to all initiative, concentration, and mental skill checks until you rest for 8 hours.

There is also the case when people want to pop mirror images with their secondary attacks, before useing their main attacks.

That, at least, they cannot do because regardless of where you are placing your max bonus extra attack, your lower iteratives must come after the higher ones.

They used 'secondary and main' attacks, not iteratives. So you could have a main/primary attack, and a couple secondaries, like bite/claw/claw. I don't think there's any rule that says a creature can't claw/bite/claw or tail then bite rather than bite then tail.

I can't say for sure that the wording was their intention or not though, since the main topic question was answered first reply and the rest is all... intellectual discussion.

113. A +2 blinding, light steel shield. It's highly-polished with an eye insignia and strapped to the user's arm when withdrawn from the bag (any worn shields or similar implements are dropped to the ground when this happens).

114. A random card from a deck of illusions that is dropped immediately. The illusion and its (apparent) effects are quasi-real (20%) to lawful creatures, though they can't be damaged or affected by attacks or abilities that don't affect illusions (they can't be killed by a lawful creature, though their own attacks can damage them (20% if disbelieved).

115. A burning and active jumping cinder is withdrawn and an additional 1d3 jumping cinders leap from the bag into random adjacent spaces. No more than one per space, though they can later enter the same squares randomly, their first jump will not be into the space they were drawn from. The drawer can attempt a Reflex save (DC 12) to drop their cinder in an adjacent space of their choice, otherwise they drop it in theirs and take 1d6 fire damage (no save). The cinders are otherwise uncontrolled and jump around randomly for one minute.

Turtle Bloodline
You come from a lineage that venerated or made pacts with turtle or kappa spirits. Possibly the Great Turtle, upon whose back the world is carried through the cosmos. You gain turtle-like qualities and defenses.
Disclaimer: I don't playtest or run bloodragers and all of this is just amusing guesswork to be altered as needed.

Bonus Feats: Endurance, Diehard, Improved Natural Armor, Improved Unarmed Strike, Snapping Turtle Style, Weapon Focus.

Bonus Spells: wave shield (7th), dragon turtle shell (10th), sky swim (13th), ride the waves (16th)

Turtle Hide (Ex)
At 1st-level your hide is tougher than normal and you have small, bony patches of shell along your back and spine, giving you a natural armor bonus of +1 and allowing you to meet the requirements of the Improved Natural Armor feat.
Additionally (for no reason whatsoever), you are considered proficient with katanas, nunchaku, quarterstaffs, and sai and gain Weapon Focus with one of your choice. A new character may start with one of these weapons of their choice.

Turtle Tenacity (Ex)
At 4th-level you gain a +4 competence bonus to Swim checks and can hold your breath a number of additional rounds equal to your bloodrager level.
Additionally, you add fox's cunning and owl's wisdom to your list of bloodrager spells known. Whenever you are under the effects of a bear's endurance, bull's strength, cat's grace, eagle's splendor, fox's cunning, or owl's wisdom spell that you have cast on yourself, those spells' durations are doubled (2 min/level) and you also gain a +1 enhancement bonus to natural armor. These enhancement bonuses stack with each other, but not enhancement bonuses from other sources (such as barkskin).

Turtle Power (Ex)
At 8th-level when you enter a bloodrage, you may choose to come under the effects of bear's endurance, bull's strength, cat's grace, eagle's splendor, fox's cunning, or owl's wisdom as though you cast that spell (for purposes of Turtle Tenacity) for the duration of the bloodrage. This ability is Extraordinary (Ex), but the spell effects otherwise function as spells and can be dispelled or affected or suppressed normally.
Additionally, you gain a bonus Weapon Focus feat and, while bloodraging, when you attack with a weapon with which you have Weapon Focus, you add an additional +1 to attack and damage for each additional Weapon Focus feat you possess.

Turtle Aquabatics (Ex)
At 12th-level you gain a +4 competence bonus to Acrobatics checks underwater or in conditions where water (or water-like) terrain would hinder you, like wading or a wet surface or jumping or diving into water. The penalty for slightly or severely wet surfaces still applies, as does the movement penalties for terrain or tumbling to avoid attacks of opportunities, but you may move an additional 5 feet on a successful check in wet or underwater conditions. This does not help against ice or other surfaces made slippery by non-water-based liquid nor does it apply to climbing wet or watery surfaces.
You receive half the normal penalties for being underwater for melee attacks (–1 to hit and one-quarter damage for bludgeoning and slashing) and grapple checks and do not lose your Dex bonus to AC while off-balance (enemies still receive a +2 to hit). While bloodraging, these penalties are ignored.
You may cast bloodrager spells while submerged without the normal concentration checks and can even cast verbal spells without being able to breathe, but this costs you one round of air for each spell level of the spell, in addition to any lost for normal or strenuous actions.
You may ascend at 50% greater depths and time for purposes of the bends or similar afflictions. Typically 100 feet per minute, so the bloodrager can ascend 150 feet every 30 seconds without risk, for example.

Turtle Defense (Ex)
At 16th-level your natural armor bonus increase to +3 and when you take the total defense action, instead of a +4 dodge bonus, you may choose to gain DR 2/– and an enhancement bonus to natural armor equal to half your bloodrager level until the start of your next turn. This does not stack with other enhancement bonuses to natural armor, including Turtle Tenacity. You are staggered on your next turn. You cannot move more than half your base speed while using this ability and you cannot use it on a round in which you moved more than half your base speed, including involuntary or mounted movement. The movement restriction does not apply while bloodraging. This ability can be used a number of times per day equal to your Constitution modifier (min 1.)
This bonus is quite high, but it doesn't apply to touch or other attacks a dodge bonus would help against (yet), but it also works against invisible or unseen enemies or attacks that would negate Dex (and thus dodge) bonuses.

Blessing of the Turtle God (Ex)
At 20th-level your base natural armor bonus increase to +5 and your base natural armor bonus (including from Improved Natural Armor) applies your touch AC. While bloodraging, your full natural armor bonus (including enhancement effects) applies to your touch AC.
The first opponent to attack you with flanking each round does not gain a flanking bonus against you.
You can speak with turtles and turtle-like creatures, such as kappa or dragon turtles, as if you shared a language and are at a +4 bonus to interactions with them as well as having a constant sanctuary effect towards hostile ones (DC 11 + Cha modifier, renews against a particular turtle every 24 hours, counts as a spell-like ability (Sp)).

165. Tin of dried peas.

166. A fist-sized, silver cylindrical rock. (Can of baked beans, no label. 10% chance to be spoiled when opened.)

167. A dirty cloth packet. Inside is a pristine, new pair of fine, green silk lady's stockings (10 gp.)

168. A plush, toy rabbit, the size of a teddy bear. It's worn and dirty. There's a hard lump in its chest:
%d100
1–25% — lump of coal
26–50% — semi-precious gem
51–75% — precious gem
76–90% — hardened clump of alchemist's fire powder, bursts into flame on open air contact, (1d6 fire damage, 1 splash damage)
91–95% — red ruby (50gp. Abjuration, CL1) 2 points of fire protection daily to a creature holding it, works if still in rabbit.
96–100% — red ruby (50 gp. Transmutation, curse, CL 12) turns possessor (if still inside or removed from rabbit) into a plush toy rabbit with the ruby inside after 24 hours (DC 17 Fort negates, once ever per person). Perception (DC 15) will note details about the new toy that resemble possessor. Successful dispel magic or remove curse on the ruby removes the curse permanently. On the rabbit reverses the transformation, but any damage (such as cutting into the chest) remains. One spell can affect both ruby and rabbit if cast while they're together.

190. Pearl of Prowler— These cursed pearls of power identify and function normally. When one is used, however, the user immediately hears a terrifying howl, as though from some stalking predator even if deafened or silenced (mind-effecting, phantasm), that others do not hear. This causes the shaken condition for 2 rounds (Will save DC 11 + pearl's power level).

191. Undertaker's Preserving Flask— This cursed preserving flask detects and functions normally, but uses toxic chemical infusions to preserve extracts and liquids within it, slowly embalming and poisoning users over time.

192. Pyxes of Misplaced Focus— This cursed pyxes of redirected focus detects and identifies as normal but allowing two uses per day.

542. The next round, if the planter has 5 HD or less, a gorilla grows from the ground and obeys the planter similar to a summoned creature, though it is not considered summoned and cannot be dispelled or dismissed. It remains for 24 hours before vanishing. If the planter has 6 or more HD, a girallon is created instead. At 11 HD and each additional 5 HD above that, the girallon has the advanced template applied (stacks).

543. The planted area glows briefly before glowing orbs equal to the planter's HD shoot from the ground to approximately 50 feet in the air. The next round, they rain down on creatures other than the planter within a 60 feet area. Creatures at an equal or higher altitude are not targeted.

544. A cloud of pinkish-green smoke burst forth, in a 30 foot spread. It lingers for one round and any living creatures coming in contact with it may attempt a DC 15 Fortitude save to resist its effects.

38. Flat as a Pancake
Once per encounter, if crushed by a heavy object at least their size or struck by a bludgeoning-only attack from a creature at least two times their size. The toon may opt to convert half the damage to non-lethal and be pressed into a two-dimensional flat shape that may look normal from one angle, but practically paper thin at another. They may opt to drift up to five feet away, and a strong wind in the location can move them further. If still conscious, they can make a Dexterity check (DC 15) to slide under a door or fold a little to slip through a mail slot or other narrow space within five feet of the square they enter. They become roughly 1/10th their normal weight and mass and can even be rolled up like a floor mat.

They remain in this shape for one minute, during which time they are immune to bludgeoning damage and have DR 10/–. Another character can attempt a DC 15 Heal check to re-inflate them with CPR or a bicycle pump. If conscious, the toon may also do this by sticking a thumb in their mouth or holding their breath and breathing out as a full-round action, but they are dizzy and disoriented on the next round (–2 penalty to most checks or saves or GM's call). Otherwise, until reinflated, they are restricted to the most basic limb movements and struggled speech. If they are contained in a small space (like a scroll tube) or bound or otherwise constricted, the 'pop' free relatively safely when resuming normal form.

39. Dum-Dum Bullets/U-Turn Attack
Once per encounter, the toon can have a projectile attack turn a corner or move around cover to strike a target. The target must have ducked behind hard cover or moved out of sight within the past round. Soft cover, like creatures does not apply.

The ammunition typically pauses in air at the corner or where it would round the cover and starts sniffing, possibly with an illusory nose or snout, makes a screeching brake sound after passing a little and turns around, or says something comical, like "Which way did he did he go, George? Which way did he go?!" or like an old-timey prospector, "I think he went this way, fellers!" and then makes a Sense Motive check DC 10 to turn and move in the new direction around the corner or around the cover. Projectiles have a +0 to Sense Motive with a bonus equal to their enhancement bonus specifically (the projectile's, not from weapons firing them). If the target is within 10 feet of the corner or edge of the cover, they may use an immediate action to attempt a Bluff or Disguise check (at –10 for being rushed unless they have an ability to make such checks faster, to which the GM can lower or negate this) and use that result or the DC 10 to trick the ammunition into flying past them or going the wrong way (does not hit others).

On a successful Sense Motive, the attack rounds the corner or barrier and attacks the target's space if they are in its range. Distance penalties apply, as do concealment or cover bonuses other than those applied from the initial cover (ie. if the target ducked behind a corner and then behind a dumpster or other creature or moved behind cover and cast invisibility). This ability applies to all projectiles fired with the toon's standard action, such as attacks with a weapon that makes multiple projectiles or ammunition that doubles or splits.

Special: If a target moves into hard cover or moves out of sight behind hard cover (not just becomes invisible or concealed in fog or smoke) during the toon's ranged attack, such as a readied action to move or duck into cover (GM's call), they can use this ability as an immediate action to have that attack use this ability.

Heart Eater Bloodline
You come from a tribe, lineage, or bloodline that devours the hearts of its prey. You gain additional powers and abilities when hunting, stalking, or facing such creatures. See Heart Ceremony below.

Bonus Feats: Alertness, Blind-fight, Combat Reflexes, Diehard, Dodge, Endurance, Intimidating Prowess, Power Attack, Toughness, Tracking.
(Bloodline has more bonus feats than normal due to Call of the Hunt below.)

Bonus Spells: enemy's heart (7th), savage maw (10th), hunter's eye (prey targets only) (13th), named bullet (prey targets only, no M component needed) (16th).

Call of the Prey (Ex)
At 1st-level the bloodrager receives a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls against prey, as well as Intimidate and tracking checks against them. While bloodraging, they have a +1 AC dodge bonus against attacks from prey creatures (after penalties for raging). At 12th level these bonuses increase to +2 and the DC of bloodrager spells against prey increase by +1. These bonuses stack with favored enemy bonuses.

Sheep's Clothing (Su)
At 4th-level the bloodrager can assume the form of a prey creature once per day. This functions as a druid's wild shape except it lasts 10 minutes per bloodrager level and only allows prey forms specifically. ie tigers or horses (they still must be the appropriate type or size. ie. Animals for beast shape I). This improves and advances as the druid ability every even level and counts as wild shape for purposes of taking feats, such as Natural Spell.
The bloodrager also gains alter self once per day (Sp) except it lasts 10 minutes per level and only allows the form of a prey creature. They gain an additional use per day at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 20th.

Call of the Hunt (Ex)
At 8th-level, when entering a bloodrage with a hostile or hunted prey creature within line of sight (one they intend to attack or confront, not just a friendly or passing one they are going to ignore), the bloodrager may gain the benefit of one bloodrager feat from the bonus list as long as they rage. They must meet the prerequisites for the feat. This does not occur if a bloodrage is in progress and a prey creature appears.

Crush the Prey (Ex)
At 12th-level, the first time entering bloodrage during an encounter, all prey creatures within 30 feet with line of sight to the bloodrager require a Will save or be shaken for 2 rounds (DC 10 + 1/2 bloodrager level + Cha mod.) The first time the bloodrager disables or incapacitates a prey creature in an encounter, all similar prey require a Will save as above. This fear effect cannot stack with other effects to greater than shaken.

Batter the Prey
At 16th-level, while in a bloodrage, the bloodrager can use the awesome blow maneuver on a prey target as though they possessed the feat. The bloodrager need not meet the prerequisites of the feat, but if they don't, the attack must be with a bludgeoning weapon and the maneuver is at a –4 penalty. Whether successful or not, that creature cannot be targeted by this attack from the bloodrager again for 24 hours.

Unending Hunt
At 20th-level, whenever you incapacitate or disable a hostile prey target while in bloodrage, you may extend its duration by one round. This only happens once per round, regardless of the number of prey creature's defeated, dropped, or destroyed per round.
Additionally if your bloodrage would end with you at 0 hit points or fewer (such as being knocked unconscious), the bloodrage ends and you immediately gain temporary hit points equal to the prey creatures you defeated or dropped during the bloodrage. This does not count as healing (you may still be bleeding) but may be enough to keep you conscious and you can heal or tend yourself. These temporary hit points last for one minute.

You could also have them find a scroll of temporary resurrection. That will give the paladin 24 hours (barring dispel) to finish his business. Or otherwise get to a place to be raised or where their new character can come in without so much problems.

It will allow them to keep all their powers and not have to worry about ability changes and new powers and rules and altering the adventure to account for a ghost suddenly. They will have a –1 negative level effectively, so there might be some hinderance or inaccessible powers based on level, but I think that's a fair penalty. Obviously if you need more than 24 hours to fix your gaming issue, it could be an extended scroll or something. I think that's pretty kind of a GM, since it's a 7th level scroll you're handing out (8th if extended) that has a 500 gp material cost.

...EDIT: Pizza Lord, why do you say "some GMs might not care about the order". Why would any?

Because some GMs are weird/have their own interpretation of the wording and might assume taking an extra something comes after doing something. I can't speak for everyone and it doesn't change the OP's answer to how many attacks and their bonus. Some GMs just have their reasons.

You get an extra attack at your highest bonus; +7/+2/+7.
Some GM's might not care about the order and might just go +7/+7/+2.

I absolutely love the ideas you’re cooking for doctrines! Later this week I’m gonna compile a doctrine list

Thank you, very nice of you to let people riff and make up crazy things.

River of Souls (Pharasma): ...

Addendum: A creature is only affected once, even if the river's path curves or passes through its space multiple times.

More God-related doctines:
River of Souls (Pharasma): Once per day, as a standard action you create a manifestation of the River of Souls. Starting in an adjacent square, you unleash a cascade of spiritual energy that resembles souls flowing into the after life. It is a shapeable (S) five foot wide effect that extends ten feet per class level. You designate the path, which must be contiguous and the river can make a 45° turn every five feet. It is not affected by gravity and can rise or lower itself at that angle or extend straight off a cliff or from a hilltop. It is stopped by physical barriers that would stop line of effect, though the user can direct it around such barriers. The distance may be halved and the effect widened to ten feet, but the river can only turn (or rise or lower) at 45° after ten feet of movement.

Any undead creatures in its path takes 1d6 positive energy damage per class level and are restricted to a single action on their next turn. A Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 class level + Cha mod) halves the damage and negates the loss of action. Non-intelligent undead receive no save and it affects incorporeal and ethereal undead as well.

Additionally, if an undead creature (including non-intelligent undead) would be reduced to 0 hit points by this effect, it is destroyed despite effects that might bring it back unless it makes a Will save (same DC as above). This includes a bloody skeleton's deathless ability, a lich or ghost's rejuvenation, or a vampire's gaseous form at 0 hit points.

Note that the River of Souls (or at least this ability) is not an actual river of water, it does not extinguish flames or cause additional damage to vampires for flowing water.

I am of the thought (so this is just my musing from reading the discussion, not strictly Rules or Organized play) that I am leery about allowing False Focus to be completely malleable. While I am of the mind that there's the fact that it should do what it says it can do, I am also aware that some things allow potential abuse or cause strange interactions with some spells (maybe because of the spell's poor design when it comes to materials).

That said, do I think a few oddball cases should gut a feat? Probably not. The issue is always whether the feat is easy to get and isn't really a trade off. In this case, 1 Rank of Knowledge and being able to cast arcane spells is not a high bar. Level 1, flat. The second issue I usually have is just how much better it is than someone 'following the normal rules' so to speak.

Mostly this is just me going down a rabbit hole, fair warning.

Anyway, do I think any one of those (and I didn't go through every spell obviously) is going to break a game? Probably not, but those first two are just 2nd-level spells that basically pay off the feat in two uses. I am not so much worried about the material cost being ignored, but the broad scope and parameters of a spell. Does that mean I would ban it? No, probably not, but I would definitely reserve the right (which I understand Organized GMs cannot do) to state that any particular spell without an actual variable component, functions at a basic level (like, a steel shortsword or longsword for storm of blades) for balance purposes. It still wouldn't stop masterwork transformation for creating a lot of mw tools, which are sold for half price and aren't carried over between sessions, and thus don't break the rule (at least the one I saw with a quick search).

TL/DR I am not ruling for Organized Play, but for parchment swarm, I (meaning in my game) would not allow it to be used to 'tag in' every possible spell that could be a scroll (of 100 gp or less). I would have it work at base, blank parchment level. Again, this would purely be for balance purposes and to prevent abuse.

I suppose, if I wanted to try and be lenient or more forgiving (while adhering to the ruling I would make), I might be persuaded (for certain spells) to let the False Focus user substitute an open-ended material component if they had the material component. I know that suddenly sounds counter-intuitive or invalidating the feat, but, I wouldn't have it lost. For balance sake it would at least require that character to obtain the item one time, and then they can use the spell with that. Rather than just conjuring Large-sized greatswords and never having to acquire or carrying one or more around, they have one, and as long as they have it, it's like a focus. If they want to do a parchment swarm as though they had a chill touch scroll, as long as they have the scroll the can do it (but they don't lose it like normal with the spell), or they can cast it at baseline. Same with that bullet spell that takes materials. They can get an adamantine bullet, and now it's basically a spell focus. Otherwise, the feat works as normal, except for a few specific abusable or too powerful spells.

Again, only my thoughts, not really basing it on rules, since that's been covered pretty well.

Abadar's Golden Fist: As a swift action, you turn one (and only one) of your hands into a golden fist. ...

Addendum: 'It otherwise feels and is affected as a normal hand (touching acid, contact poison, or fire and being damaged). As a natural weapon, the fist cannot be sundered or disarmed, but if it would be destroyed, such as a rust monster's ability or effect that warps or melts metal, the golden fist effect ends and one minute of duration is lost. It can be reformed on the next round.'

Feel free to add additional powers and abilities as microtransactions for the fist. Abadar approves.

Abadar's Golden Fist: As a swift action, you turn one (and only one) of your hands into a golden fist. It is a natural attack (slam) and counts as lawful and magic (and gold). It deals Strength and a half damage if it's the only natural attack possessed and Charisma can be used in place of Strength for attack and damage. It gains a +1 enhancement bonus for every three class levels. The fist cannot wield or hold objects or perform tasks that a closed fist couldn't perform. Objects held in the hand are either crushed or dropped when the golden fist forms.

It can illuminate as a light spell at will and counts as a light effect of one-third class level for overcoming darkness effects. Disarm and steal attempts are at a +2 avarice bonus. It functions as a holy symbol of law when presented and does not hinder somatic components despite being a closed fist, though such spells still count as having somatic components for spell failure checks or other effects and certain somatic tasks involving manipulating things, like drawing a magic circle, can be hindered at GM's call.

If 50 gp is sacrificed to Abadar when activated or during the duration as a swift action (it just vanishes from possession), the fist can also bypass silver, mithril, adamantine, or other special metal for damage reduction purposes (not bypassing hardness). This can be done multiple times, a different metal chosen each time. 50 gp can also be sacrificed to allow the fist to function as a normal hand for the duration.

This ability can be used for one minute per level each day and need not be continuous but must be in one minute increments. It can be dismissed early.

Wings of Desna (Monarch's Wings): As swift action, you grow beautiful butterfly wings for one round that allow you to leap or fly as a move action. The maximum distance per round is equal to your base speed, even using a second move action. As a free action at the beginning of your flight or at the end, you may sweep the wings forward and create a swarm of magical butterflies and stardust in a 15-foot cone that functions as glitterdust (DC 10 + 1/2 class level + Cha modifier). You must fly or leap at least 10 feet to use this ability (or at least intended to, in case your movement gets interrupted) and it can be used a number of times per day equal to half your class level + Charisma modifier. Uses can be combined to fly longer distances or maintain altitude.

Just for completeness sake, a wall of ice will stop a golem or creature with Spell Resistance. The SR or resistance only stops the cold damage or actual part of spell directly affecting the creature (which is the cold damage dealt when passing through a breach. It will not let the creature walk through solid material, it's still a wall of ice (like how your player though the icy prison would work.

The difference is that wall of ice doesn't target the creature when cast. Similarly a wall of fire may not affect a creature with SR or magic immunity (it won't deal fire damage), but it's still an opaque sheet of flame, they won't just see through it.

192. Your relative's monkey paw amulet. The tiny fist is closed. The only notes are along the lines of, 'This brought me luck in my endeavors. I hope it does the same for you." It detects as faint magic (despite being CL 17).

193. A decanter of endless water and command words. Unfortunately, it is in a distant desert or dry mesa region, beneath a city that is known for its lush, fertile water springs and hot baths. This is because a distant, long ago ancestor made an agreement with that city/region's ruler to provide an oasis (and the prosperous city sprung up around the modest settlement).

I would imagine a ranged attacker, like a ranger or other archer would make the most sense. Otherwise a reach user could also work, if you could learn dive attack. Be able to stay out of their reach and, unlike ground troops, they can't just 5-foot step into your reach.

It's one of those things like harpoons, where they made actual in game use so blatantly unintuitive and unrealistic that such things would never really get used, because no one that would use them could ever use them effectively.

If I had written it, it would basically be like, 'This otherwise functions as a staff for those without exotic weapon proficiency,' or something. Then at least it would make sense why thousands of people (who herd) would use them. At least then they would work as staffs, but with a small benefit to account for extra training (Reach, Tripping, and the ability to grapple without penalty). Otherwise, it's a staff (with reach) that you take a –4 penalty for.

539. An 8-foot tall wooden pole rises from the ground. It has 16 lit torches on it stuck like pegs in it. Four to a side. The torches are real fire and burn indefinitely until taken from the pole, functioning as normal torches (1 hour duration). The pole replaces one torch per day. If all torches are removed from the pole (or extinguished on it), there is a 25% chance it loses all power (CL 10, conjuration).

540. A plant with 1d4 fiery-orange flowers grows.

541. One round after planting, the ground around the bean rumbles and a ramshackle wooden coffin rises upright in a spray of gravedirt (even if in sand), standing like a tombstone. A small bell is affixed at the top to a string that goes inside. It starts to ring.

187. Drowsing Syrup— (CL 10) This quirked bottle of dowsing syrup works normally until the next time the user is within 60 feet of the target and catches sight of it or comes into contact with it. At that point, the user requires a DC 15 Will save or fall asleep for ten minutes, as though affected by sleep (no HD limit). The creature cannot be roused by normal means except by the target creature (or object, if used to slap them) or they receive ten points of lethal or non-lethal damage. A dispel magic, remove curse, or other effect that can end magical sleep can also end this effect early, but the user will be fatigued until they rest for one hour unless awoken by the target creature or object. This is a sleep effect.

188. Incense of Incense— This cursed property can be found on almost any other magical incense or burnt herb or other offering. The item functions normally, but for each hour the user(s) are under its effects, they also need a DC 15 Will save or become enraged and incensed at the slightest thing. Treat them as under the effects of jealous rage until triggered. Calm emotions or similar effects can end that instance (even if not yet triggered) or a remove curse can prevent all such possible occurrences for that use of the incense.

189. Plague of Spell Knowledge— This curse is found on pages of spell knowledge. The pages function normally and actually add an additional spell use of the linked spell. Once the user attempts to use the page's power, they find that all their spontaneous spells of that level are only the spell on the page. Meaning a sorcerer using a page of spell knowledge (magic missile) can only use their 1st-level slots for magic missile. This does not apply to domain spells or lower level spells using that slot due to metamagic or other effects. Spells of that level can still be cast using higher level slots and can still be converted spontaneously, such as a cleric's spontaneous casting of cure spells.

Once triggered, the curse remains until the user receives a successful remove curse. If they sell, loan, or otherwise lose the page, they lose access to the bonus spell (as happens when the curse is removed). A user can be under the effects of only one such cursed page at a time.
Special A plague of spell knowledge with remove curse (or similar effect) never succeeds at removing this curse.

Having a slight issue on this spell. It is being cast on a creature with immunity to magic. but, it is encasing them in ice, which, IMO isn't directly targeting them with magic, only their immediate periphery? Or am I overthinking it?

Overthinking it. The spell targets the creature, the spell allows Spell Resistance, so Magic Immunity (which is generally considered 100% spell resistance) will work unless some other factor is in play.

It is directly targeting them, even if the effect is something around them. Like creating a tornado or resilient sphere. You target them, then a sphere of force forms around them.

... Naturally, we decided that we wanted to screw with the people there as payback and maybe stage a coup of something. For my part I was thinking of maybe using spells like polymorph or flesh to stone to mess around but that’s kind of basic. So what would be an interesting way for me to freak out/impress a bunch of normal people?

Animate object on corpses and have them wander around, knocking on their families' doors. Only lasts a round per level, and 15k gp for a permanency is probably a bit steep for a joke.

But, claiming the factory caused an undead plague of zombies (while clerics are already low-magic and their channeling and turning fail since they aren't undead, just animated) could cause some deviant chuckles and freaking out.

Oh, so you're just looking for existing spells and abilities to do it.

Are you trying make a race/unique character with the inherent ability, or are you trying to design a class or talent/mutation that allows these things (like the ninja or an oracle with a ghostly curse or some other things)?
Otherwise we can build it like a curse/mutation or something that increases with the character's Hit Dice.

Mostly I'd probably start with an immediate action blink effect and maybe raise the duration a bit (keeping it balanced with when a character normally can get blinking. Probably have some restrictions at first on what can blink with the character until they're higher level, maybe restrict worn magic items to Charisma modifier. Either not being able to be brought along (which players probably wouldn't like) or just not functioning unless 'attuned', similar to being melded into a polymorphed form while intangible.

536. A slender beanstalk grows from the ground with a light-green, leather +1 sling on it, sized for the planter.

537. The planter immediately hears in their mind, "Choose a nonmagical object." They are then in the equivalent of a stasis-like limbo for 30 seconds. The GM should inform them of this limit and start timing until they choose something suitable or the time expires. They can think or ask questions (won't get any answers, but the GM can repeat the statement above), but if they don't state or otherwise indicate an object after that time, the effect is wasted and the stasis ends.

538. Immediately after planting, the ground opens and 1d4+4 crawling hands spring out and crawl towards the planter (leaping and flying to them if necessary). The hands resemble the planter's, but are decrepit and rotting.

Lots of Christmas-y fun and hijinks.

184. Beast-Burn Brand— This henna paste resembles a beast-bond brand. It has 20 charges (not known unless the curse is identified) but burns like a true brand when used.

185. Master Librarian's Bookplate of Recall— This bookplate of recall appears normal, but the creator's name is always inscribed in the plate first, though it's been struck through, with space for the next user to write their name. The bookplate can be used three times per day, rather than once. The summoned book is a facsimile, and the true copy goes elsewhere. The bookplate does not function until another name is added to the plate.

186. Congealing Pocket— This cursed concealing pocket appears normal until an item is placed inside it for one minute. After that, when retrieving the item, the user feels as though the pocket is full of gushy pudding. The item (and the user's hand) is withdrawn covered in a congealed paste of foul-smelling goo.

For this spell, when creating the trap, I would say the caster chooses the number of targets that will be affected (like casting the spell, since you can choose less). It will then affect the closest to the primary/triggering target. If they choose two targets, it arcs to one, if they choose three or more, it will arc to those (if they are within range, and no target hit more than once). The caster/creator basically chooses the max targets in most cases I would assume without some other reason.

Something like the Toxic Avenger's tromatons, that let him sense evil and crime and he must destroy it? Maybe it starts at 30 feet, higher levels improves it to normal 60 feet, and maybe a detected creature can be tracked as though they had scent, etc.

'You have a constant detect evil effect that you cannot suppress.'
Curse: If you detect an evil creature or object, you must destroy or kill it. You can perform other actions while performing the task, such as aiding another or tending or moving an injured party away during a fight with evil creatures, but otherwise ignoring evil causes headaches leading to distraction penalties until they refocus their efforts and must succeed at increasing Will saves every hour with failure causing them to 'black out' and go on a vigilante spree (similar to a GM controlling a lycanthrope).

92. Interrogation Room
A simple room with no windows and spartan lighting. Contains a table and two chairs facing each other. Depending on the technology level, there may be recording devices, spotlights, or lie-detector equipment. A large section of mirrored wall likely leads to an observation room accessed from elsewhere or could just be a decoy. Temperature controls for the room are either in the observation room, or near the door.

Plot hooks could be a loose file, tape recording, or notes on an interrogation involving a crime or unsolved case.

93. Tire Storage
A large room for holding tires. Possibly new tires, for placing on vehicles or planetary rovers (if on a station or ship), but also inexplicably just rows of old, worn out tires, just stacked here for unknown reasons or awaiting destruction or retreading. If a fire starts in here, thick oily black smoke will fill the area. Depending on the location and technology, the room may be ventilated or contain chemical and fire suppression.

Would it give the same aid another bonus that i normally give since it's "on my behalf"? I normally give +6 depending on the type of aid.

It would not. It would give the normal Aid Another bonus. Someone acting on your behalf still uses their own skills. It wouldn't be good for most of us to have a lawyer speaking on our behalf if they had to restrict themselves to our level of legal knowledge. Conversely, if you had some penalty or curse that gave less than +2 to Aid Another checks, it would still get +2.

I would say that based on the timing of action and how it's written, that you are protected from the damage when you fail the save and choose to use the ability. It's still there, meaning when the duration wears off, you will receive the penalties or damage or whatever effect (unconscious) the poison or disease would have caused on the initial failure (unless you had it removed or neutralized before then).

It would also mean you can't cure any ability damage or drain, since it's not technically there (just in case your GM had rolled it already and was just 'holding it off').

-Titan’s Bane: As long as the ninja has at least 1 ki point, she can occupy the same space as an enemy if it is at least one size category larger than her. The enemy is considered flat-footed this way. The ninja must be at least level 8 before she can select this ability.

Not to discourage or anything, I am just noting my opinion that I think this Titan's Bane is very powerful.

How much extra damage do you get with a guitar pick?

I think picks typically do x3 critical damage...

181. Depilatory Defoliant Polish— This cursed polish detects and functions as defoliant polish. Unfortunately for the user and those around them, it makes hair and fur fall out.

182. Dust of Emu-lation— This cursed dust of emulation functions normally, however, it turns the user into an emu.

183. Bead of Nude Prevention— This cursed bead of newt prevention detects and functions normally. The owner becomes unwilling to remove any articles of clothing or armor. The bead also grants a +2 bonus to resist effects that would disrobe, sunder, steal, or otherwise remove such items from their person if worn.

I would argue that a guitar-like weapon is a one handed bludgeoning, right?

I, on the other hand, would argue that it is more likely a two-handed bludgeoning weapon. Sure, someone could hold or even swing it, but people can do that with two-handed swords or a folding chair, but I think the assumed and normal use for a 'baseline effective strike', is swinging it two-handed.

Let's operate on that theory for now. How would i finesse it?

Fair enough, we will operate on your theory and assume you can declare it a one-handed weapon equivalent. Weapon Finesse lets you apply your Dex 'With a light weapon, elven curve blade, rapier, whip, or spiked chain'. A guitar is none of these things. Equipment Trick (Guitar) would let you use it as a normal weapon or improvised one, whichever is better, but that won't make it a light weapon for Weapon Finesse (or a rapier or a spiked chain).

Now that you've made your own decision for your game, people can point out problems or flaws or issues that could arise. The thing is, it's mostly a legal issue. It can vary by race, or tribe, or culture, or kingdom, religion. One country might wait a year with someone gone/dead. An elven kingdom might require 100-200 years.

It's really no different than someone being lost at sea or going missing after a battle and presumed dead. Most places will require either proof of death, which could be wrong or even false, like a witness saying they saw the person die. Typically, in any case, you need some legal figure (depending on the area, it could just be the mayor or a local judge), or in larger areas could be a king, or a council, or even a priest of the main religion.

The fact is, powerful magic exists, so it would be unreasonable to think that they aren't going to take it into account (but again, it can and will be different even one kingdom over). It's reasonable that if you declare someone missing or dead, that a magistrate requires you to have a priest at least cast a divination to assure they're dead.

In this case, the discussion is that they're dead and come back, so it's also reasonable that one location might rule that before they dissolve or release the deceased's property that they at least cast a speak with dead. Yes, it's a bit of a cost (about 150 gp, and some clerics may just do this as a service or reduced donation), but if the estate can't afford it, then it probably isn't really worth quibbling over if the person is raised. Especially since it should be standard before raising someone, since you don't want to spend all the material costs of that, and find out that they didn't want to come back. Even with no body (or one that was damaged) or even missing, they have corpse rebuilding spells, and they have other divinations or communes to speak with their god or find out.

This is also why people have last wills. If their property or estate is enough to be an issue, then they should have such things stated ("Hey, if I die, I want my property split between my daughters and the Church of Urgothoa,' can reasonably just as easily be "Hey, if I die, use my property to resurrect me before anything else." End of writing.) And if they didn't have a will... it would be reasonable that parties get a speak with dead spell to just say, "Hey, how do you want your property used/dispersed?'

Note for #174. Scabbard of Pawning: The free step diagonal when dropping an enemy does not cause damage to the user for not moving in a straight line.

178. Cursed Arrow Magnet— This quirked arrow magnet functions normally but is more robust (hardness 8, 10 hp) and lasts one minute. If it is reduced to 0 hit points or is touched by any creature other than the user before its duration expires, any attacks it has taken are directed at the user to a range of 120 feet. The attacks resemble the weapon used (arrows, bolts, shuriken) but are force replicas. GM rolls an attack for each at +5 to hit regardless of the original attack bonus and they deal base weapon damage +2 regardless of if the original weapon had strength or enhancement bonuses to it. These attacks ignore concealment but not cover.

179. Dust of Squeezing and Poking— (CL 7) Similar in effect to dust of sneezing and choking, this dust detects as another kind, but summons hands of force to grasp, squeeze, and poke creatures.

180. Crampfire Bead— This cursed campfire bead functions normally except it causes its user debilitating cramps.

Yeah, you basically answered the things I would say. It's no different than a prince who was thought dead on a battlefield finally returning home after years. It's a plot hook, and how the people or kingdom reacts is... entirely up to the people and situation. Say the dead king, even a good king, comes back, but a new ruler has ascended and he or she is amazing. There's issues like the time that's past, the current situation (maybe there's a war brewing and one ruler is a better commander while the other is a better all-around), and then there's the schism. The nobles might want the old king, the people and merchants might want the new one... one or two neighboring powers want one or the other.

The PCs may not care which one statistically or morally speaking (let's assume neither is an evil tyrant). It just might come down to which faction can convince/lie/offer the most to them to pick a side.

And that all comes down to the GM and their world or story building (assuming they don't have an assumed expectation, which the PCs will almost certainly screw up)

If your GM rules that the important thing is that there's strife, and challenge, and hardship, and it has to be painful in order for the connection, then sure.

I can't read it into the writing though. This isn't Rules, so I can only go by the normal term and importance of fasting, and work it into the specific task at hand (the ioun stone bonding, not spiritual enlightenment or absolution of sins or preparing for major surgery or any other reason for fasting)

Extending the fasting increases the chance of bonding with the stone, but the character may suffer the effects of starvation and thirst if he persists after several failures

It doesn't imply that suffering from thirst and starvation is a requirement.

Probably kind of obvious I am just going down the slotless magic item list at this point.

172. All-Luring Golden Apple— This cursed alluring golden apple functions normally except that it affects all creatures within 60 feet that can see it except for creatures hostile to the user within 10 feet of it where it's thrown. Affected creatures that are farther than 20 feet away, move closer each round they fail a Will save to end the paralysis. They take the shortest, most obvious route, avoiding obvious dangers, but not other creatures. They do not count as paralyzed during this movement but attackers get +2 to attacks against them.

If the user is under the apple's effect and a hostile creature kills them, that creature receives a cursed all-luring golden apple the next day, which just appears in their belongings or lair.

173. Animated Poor-trait— This cursed animated portrait functions normally but is cursed. Anyone asking the portrait a question and receiving one of its appropriate responses, has a chance to develop a poor trait or habit. Others nearby merely hearing the response are not affected. The projected image of the portrait may demonstrate a poor trait or habit in its actions, but this is not guaranteed or obtrusive, especially if based on a real creature that didn't have those mannerisms.

174. Scabbard of Pawning— This quirked scabbard of honing appears normal, but if its quirk is identified (or a DC 20 Perception check is made while examining it), an unobtrusive stamp of a chess piece is revealed (black or white pawn). If the user draws or has a weapon that's been in the scabbard for at least a minute (even ones that aren't normally affected, such as already magic items) while enemies or opponents are present, the curse triggers.

I would count that as fasting for almost all purposes. I would require a situation to expressly state that such methods are not permitted. It is not eating or consuming (though most fasting does allow simple or bland items or at least a small portion every few days, each instance differs).

Nope, gold. Must consume one pound of gold or gold coins per day. There we go.
