Then add a template or just make it bigger. Add a second creature. Put it in an antimagic field so they can't use magic. Otherwise, you've given a range of CRs that don't matter and we have no idea what your PCs are good at or bad at or vulnerable to or where the encounter takes place or the terrain, whether it's land or ocean.

Cetus

Grab, Constrict, Swallow Whole, AND Fast Swallow. All for only CR13.

Plus Spell Resistance, a dispelling bite, and an aura of unluckiness as well. That is nasty.

Give the double-headed snake the Horrific Gorging feat. Have it bite grab its target. Then next round free action gaze and paralyze the creature in it's mouth, then full-round action gorge and it deals critical bite damage and automatically swallow it whole as well at the same time.

Conch Tree (CR 7)
Is below your CR range, but it has a 60 foot harpoon and once it swallows the creature it collapses into a hard shell. It's minor damage compared to a CR 11+ creature, but the trapped creatures need to win a CMB check to attempt to cut free and anyone outside trying to harm the creature deals half the damage to their friend, which can be unpleasant if they don't realize that. Can add some other templates to make it stronger Advanced or something.

I am just gonna list any that might fit her style or backstory. I am not saying they would work or even be good for your PC.

Mutant (CR +1)
Basically lets you build a creature with mutations based on your HD. Also has a deformity and can take an extra deformity for an extra mutation. Can explain them as possibly an altered shape or body. Snake's tail, beast limbs, etc. Possibly like her herald, Kurshu, below.

Runewarped creature (CR +1)
Maybe not a fit for your PC, but it would mesh with her rune magic association.

Sinwarped
A runwarped creature with the advanced template and bolstered powers. Likely would be Sloth related due to Lissala's cult association with Krune, Runelord of Sloth (I think, I don't really know Pathfinder lore and this is all from Pathfinder wiki).

I was trying to find a composite or stitched version of a template, like her herald, Kurshu the Undying, who she created from various parts. Figured could give them a serpent lower half and wings.

There's probably a lot, and depending on the CR, may be more or less devastating depending on what appropriate ECL PCs might have to deal with.

Taotieh (CR 11) is a Large marble cat that can swallow up to four Large-sized creatures and they're put into a lightless pocket dimension (so likely no worry about bags of holding or portable holes). They take no damage, but there's only 3 rounds of air. So they're in the dark and basically have about 3 + Con rounds to escape (assuming they're taking actions, like trying to cut their way out). Plus when a creature 'cuts' their way out, it doesn't really hurt the taotieh, they seem to leap from its mouth. It doesn't cut a hole or antything, so others inside can't also get out and it doesn't prevent it from using swallow whole again (most creatures can't use it again until the damage is healed) and the prison interior has hardness 8.

Double-headed Snake CR 15) is a Gargantuan anaconda with two heads, so it has two bite attacks, both of which can grab a creature, and it has fast swallow, so any grabbing creatures can be immediately swallowed as a free action at the end of its turn instead of waiting to start its turn with a creature held in its mouth. It deals immense bludgeoning and acid damage per round, and it has an intimidating gaze that can paralyze targets.
I can't tell if it has to use both heads to do it, or both heads can each do a free action gaze, I think the latter. Also, the paralysis ends if the double-headed snake attacks the target, but I don't know the ruling if the snake's tactic was to bite and grab, and then free action gaze (with the other head, since as a GM I'd rule the biting head can't really gaze at a creature in its mouth), and then paralyze and free action fast swallow. If the fast swallow is counted as an 'attack', then the swallowed creature might have several rounds of not being able to escape, but that's a GM's call.

Otherwise, you can check d20pfsrd and search for 'swallow whole' and click on 'bestiary'. That will give you a list of creatures with the ability, you can click through them for the CRs.

Miriam Razton
This masked woman claims to be a Razmirin noblewoman (though likely a high-ranking member of the clergy, she doesn't claim that) and wears an elegant, though down-played robe and tasteful jewelry. She does possess a holy symbol of Razmir on a golden chain, though it's worn beneath her robe. Her slippers and gown are unseen beneath the robe, but are also of highest-quality. She wears a Razmiran mask, but rather than silver or gold of the ruling clergy, it's a masterwork wooden carving with inlaid silver etching from the Exalted Wood. almost all her items are magical, but mostly defensive, notable the mask which prevents mental intrusions or persuasion (also lead-lined) and a ring of invisibility.

She is cordial and polite as long as treated equally and does not discuss religion except in the vaguest, basic terms ("Razmir is the Living God. The sun is bright and water is wet.") and is surprisingly knowledgeable about any PCs' non-secret adventures, connections, and doings (and does not mention any that aren't so secret but aren't 'polite').

This agent's main goal isn't to try and win the bid, since Razmir knows he will be cheated and swindled and fraudulently denied his rightful acquisition. Instead, she will note any winners and likely make plans to have them ambushed or otherwise robbed depending on their precautions. She might even be there to distract from the real Razmiran agent (or Razmir himself!) bidding... unless... She's the real Razmir!

As an adamantine weapon, the Construct will ignore hardness less than 20 anyway. If the barbarian's weapon isn't already adamantine, it's likely steel or equivalent, so hardness 10. Each +1 adds 2 hardness, so if he has a +2 weapon, that's 14 hardness, even if the +2 from Bane applied, it would still be 18. So unless the weapon was mithral or already increased in hardness, it's likely a moot point (Though I still say it doesn't work for adding hardness and hit points just because the creature type hits it). Only if it was +3 or better might it become an issue.

Bane is still likely a really good choice, just for the bonus to hit and damage. As the GM, you could allow the impervious quality as one of the bless equipment options. As it doesn't have an enhancement cost, only a 3,000 gp addition which is comparable. It likely would be on the low end, like Bane, 2 charges of channel energy. That would double the hardness bonus per +1 of the weapon, so depending on that, it would get +4 hardness at +1, or +8 hardness if was +2. Still not enough to get a steel weapon up to 20 though for purposes of being bypassed by adamantine.

Or if there's time (3 days), they can get that enchanted on it anyway.

The same. 26. The bane property counting as +x against a creature type means for purposes of bonuses to hit or damage or other effects that depend on the enhancement bonus against the creature (like an ability that dealt +2 damage per enhancement bonus to a creature struck). It doesn't apply to the creature type attacking it where it suddenly has extra hardness or hit points.

It would get complicated if a weapon had 20 hp normally and took 10 damage from a non-bane creature, then a bane creature hit it for 10 more, but it counted as having +x hp when attacked by the creature. Granted, you didn't mention hp, only hardness, but if hardness is allowed to improve (without being explicitly stated to), then technically hit points would too, and that would get weird.

Also, at 26 hardness, I don't think most weapons really have much to worry about unless the creature is already doing massive damage... in which case... it's almost better the wielder didn't get hit.

I hope the new product is received well. It's nice to know people are still designing and sharing their work and creativity with the community.

This is your space, so not sure if this is appropriate:

Mwinyi Kitwana
An aged storyteller, shaman, and elder from Nantambu in the Mwangi Jungle. While clearly old, he's mentally acute, though he speaks very little except when telling stories or prophecies, which he typically only does when travelling among the various villages and states of the Expanse.

He does not try and blend in, wearing brightly-colored beads, trinkets, and flowing strips of cloth and leather that make him look like a jungle savage. Adding to the lines of face paint and the bone piercings in his nose and ears, he seems an odd representative, but in truth is well-regarded by those in the Magaambya as both knowledgeable and capable of traveling the dangerous parts of the Mwangi Jungle. He speaks and reads numerous languages and respects scholars and other learned individuals, but at the auction he is quiet and reserved, making only terse replies or gestures.

He is a the selected representative of many Mwangi nation-states and cities, who pooled resources to bid on one of the elixirs and each sent members as his honor guard. His stake is several chests of large, high-value jungle emeralds and an equal amount of high-quality onyx. Chosen from the finest specimens for color and clarity.

If he wins one of the elixirs, he and his honor guard will travel back to Mwangi where it will benefit no single person. Several tribal wisemen, shamans, and learned scholars of Magaambya have divined and created a ritual that will vitalize and rejuvenate a vast section of whatever location its performed at. Along with the other ingredients, likely from Gozreh's Pool, the Fountain of Tibas, and The Drowning Stones, it will be anointed on the Spire of Destiny at the appointed time. The believed outcome will be a bloom of life and cleansing of some lingering poisons, taint, or corruption (it's ambiguous) around Lake Ocata and along the rivers that feed into and from it. Any other effects, like bigger, healthier beasts or new flora are unknown side effects.

It's possible that adventurers that impress him may be asked to join one of the expeditions to gather needed ingredients (they have to be as fresh as possible so are waiting on the hardest to acquire component in the Sun Orchid Elixir). Otherwise the Thuvian city-state or Church of Pharasma might soon need adventurers to venture into a neighboring country where Kranor Jen-tan hid the relic and recover it from its trapped hiding place and lair, even if Mwinyi loses his bid, since the bids are forfeited. However, Mwinyi might consider sending a competent group there first if his bid fails to win any of them, since it will take them time to prepare the proper questions, since only so many can be asked and to prepare and verify the information. But he'd only do that if he feels they disregarded its value (knowing they would get it for free anyway once bid).

Unless, of course, he's actually Razmir.

Remember also that a creature immune or resistant to fire can still catch on fire (not that the damage is likely an issue, unless their resistance is 5 or lower and they roll a 6 on the d6) and also that their gear or equipment is not resistant or protected for effects like heat metal or rolling a natural 1 where it might be damaged. The exception to this is usually magical protection, like spells such as resist energy, which do state that they apply to the creature's gear as well.

Technically an immune creature is also immune to secondary effects, but catching fire could be clothes, hair, or other gear catching fire (though probably not hair in an immune creature's case).

A GM can certainly rule some creatures' gear to be resistant if it makes sense, but a fire giant wading through a lava pool might lose his boots or pants.

634. Blood-frill Caiman
Found in the the waterways of the Mwangi Jungle and occasionally at the coastline of the Sodden Lands, this Medium-sized reptilian predator resembles most caiman or crocodiles in form. It has a distinctive, raised crimson ridge along its back and smaller fin-like frills at the knee of each leg. While normally only about three inches high, older specimens can have frills as large as a six or eight inches. When not trying to be stealthy, they are normally very visible floating on the surface, but even so, they can resemble a log or submerged branch with red fungus or leaves, so care should be taken.

They are highly aggressive to creatures of their size or smaller swimming in their waters, though they only tend to attack upward, sometimes ignoring those who swim beneath them if not bothered. Some do like to rest on the muddy bottom, however.

Their claws and teeth are used in native adornments and they are occasionally hunted for food if easier prey is not found.

If blood-frill caiman eyes are used as a material component in a spell or magic item that causes bleeding (1 gp or +1 gp per charge worth), the bleed effect lasts one additional round after it would normally stop unless the tending creature beat the Heal DC by 5 or more. If no Heal check was made, such as from a healing spell or effect, a caster level check is made against the spell's DC. The additional round is bleed 1, regardless of the amount or type of bleed the spell caused.

635. Blood-draught Spider
This small, scarlet arachnid is similar to a scarlet spider in appearance, though slightly darker purple than red. These spiders are actually harmless, they possess webbing and very mild poison, but it's only useful against the tiniest of insects that they hunt and consume. They spin small webs if left to their devices and are good at cutting down on insects. They tend to be lone creatures unless young or with a mate, in which case there could be three to four or a pair, respectively.

A blood-draught spider that becomes a familiar functions as a scarlet spider but does not have poison. Instead, eight times per day, if its master is bleeding (either a bleed effect or dying), it can attempt to stabilize them using its webbing (it has no web attack). It makes a Heal check at its own modifier (usually +0) or its master's. If it fails, it can try again next round and it receives a +1 bonus for each use of webbing used trying to close that wound. The familiar only does this for its master, even if ordered, charmed, or otherwise commanded somehow.

It doesn't appear to be. Plus it doesn't really feel like one. Two people having to take a feat each, just so one can do a little extra damage to the other one really doesn't work. I get that betrayal feats usually hinder one for the benefit of the other, but taking a feat for the express purpose of being hurt more by an ally is a hard sell. Plus Solo Maneuvers as a prerequisite (which may or may not help, unless you use a CMB maneuver that deals nonlethal damage, like a grapple maybe).

You have to be the one threatening (which doesn't even specify allies or enemies of your or the target) and have to be dealing non-lethal damage, which is likely at a –4 to attack unless you have a feat or class ability or a low damage subdual weapon like a sap already. All that to deal an extra 1/2 half the Sense Motive check difference in non-lethal damage (capped at HD, which is probably 20 at best for most players).

Not saying it couldn't be done, with an inquisitor or dedicated build, but it's asking a lot for the effect. As it is, it's correct in how it would be used. You trick, con, manipulate, or enchant someone into being somewhat friendly, then betray them for some extra damage... expecting some shopkeeper or minion to spend two feats to let you do it to them... not reasonable.

No.

A monk cannot use any weapon other than an unarmed strike or a special monk weapon as part of a flurry of blows. A monk with natural weapons cannot use such weapons as part of a flurry of blows, nor can he make natural attacks in addition to his flurry of blows attacks.

Question:

Does the familiar using my combat teamwork feat by Share Training count as possesses the combat teamwork feat, so that I can activate the combat teamwork feat with my familiar while it can see and hear me?

Yes. It counts as possessing the feat for purposes of being an ally with the same teamwork feat. Whether it can use it themselves or not depends on the feat. They will still have it even if they can't, which may allow you to take advantage of it, even if they cannot.

For instance, your rat familiar probably can't reasonably help you load a siege weapon or fire it with the Artillery Team feat, but it would have it. Even a monkey familiar probably isn't reasonably strong enough to be able to load or crank such an engine or aim it or even fire it (it does take some strength to pull that lever).

Or if a feat said, 'If you are wielding a manufactured blunt weapon and flanking with an ally with this feat, you get X...' Then if you have a blunt weapon and your familiar is flanking, you get X. Your familiar has the feat, but it probably can't benefit because it likely isn't wielding a manufactured blunt weapon.

It couldn't use the shared feat as say, a prerequisite to take another feat or something.

321. Roper Trick
Components V, S
Range touch or personal (see below_
Target four silk ropes or personal (see below)

As rope trick except the interior size is limited to eight Medium creatures. Large creatures count as two Medium creatures and Huge count as four, and so on.

The orientation also need not be in the air facing down. The entry window can be oriented in any direction except upward (like a pit trap), so long as all the ropes are tied or anchored to something in that direction, not free-hanging. They can be anchored to the floor or ceiling in that direction, it need not be parallel, like a wall. If all such anchors are untied, severed, or removed, the spell ends. The ropes count as magic and gain 1 hp per caster level and always receive a saving throw against spells and effects (Save modifier equals half caster level unless the rope's is higher).

Creatures within generally only have a 90° cone field of view through the window facing out.

Special A roper casting this spell may use one or more of its own strands in place of each silk rope. It cannot use these strands to attack and cannot dismiss them, but it can withdraw them, to pull up a creature trying to climb one, for instance. Any creature touching or attacking such a strand with a natural weapon is subject to the roper's strength damage, though it still can't otherwise attack or use them for other purposes. If at any time no strands are anchored, the spell ends, even if those strands are still in existence. Once per round, a roper can extrude a new strand (counts as one of their six per round, not counting others devoted to anchoring) to replace a severed or lost anchoring strand but only up to the original strands used at casting. It can't replace a silk rope that was severed or untied.

Ropers using this spell use it to ambush others, reaching out with their strands while protected from other directions or spell attacks crossing the window, though their number of strand attacks are reduced by the number of anchors. Other casters use it similarly, though they usually have ranged allies inside or as a sentry point. It also functions as a normal rope trick though the multiple expensive ropes and fact they can't be hidden or pulled up is a mitigating factor.

For a roper it doesn't have to be in easy reach, like sitting in the middle of a cave (though that is the usual roper set-up). They have a +27 Climb check, they can be up a wall, as long as they're in 50 feet of where prey would come in or pass under. Next time, give one the Silent as Stone feat and Stone Clinger. They probably get surprise, and if the oracle is hit, they can't speak and get yoinked, making a much more challenging encounter. It's not a party kill, since they have a chance to spot it, it could miss, it could fail to get the oracle (don't run it as omniscient), but at least if chains of light paralyzing them might get them a round of moving up to be able to attack or coup de grace it. A GM might rule a climbing paralyzed creature falls, I'd say probably not if it was clinging. For instance, a person paralyzed climbing a ladder or gripping a ledge doesn't necessarily let go, and Stone Clinger would probably definitely not slip free even paralyzed (I'd probably drop Iron Will or Improved Initiative for them personally). Plus, they can still attack at range or with other spells.

Or don't just have a lone roper. I mean, they aren't always loners, they do interact and are intelligent. A large (multiple) patch(es) of green slime around it can make a nice sort of moat (or just patches in the area). Green slime doesn't affect stone, and a roper is clearly described as having a rock-like exterior (granite- or marble-like, the vulkard variant is more like basalt). It can pull things targets through them if needed (probably not unless dangerous, since it likely wants to eat them itself, and while its hide is rocky, ingesting green slime is probably still unpleasant, and its strands aren't rocky, so if the target gets coated, it would probably break the strand a round later, not that the roper cares).

As for non-ropers, a spell turning effect can be quite a surprise. Chains of light is dismissible and that can be done at will as a standard action, but it requires speaking the words of dismissal, which a paralyzed person can't do (unless the spell had no Verbal component, so props if they made it Silent and good for them). Or maybe a rope trick with archers in it, since spells can't cross the threshold (but the PCs could avoid the visible range of the downward-facing window, or at least run past it, or dispel it, or find some way to fly up to it assuming the rope wasn't still dangling down.

I think I will design a roper trick spell for ropers that they can hide in and just reach their strands out of now. Edit: Okay I went and did it. Now just have to have them give up some hit dice or advance a bit for a couple casting levels.

Spiritual ally, is the less problematic one. It's basically an up-powered spiritual weapon with some tactical allowance. In spaces with little maneuverability or room to get around it and avoid Attacks of Opportunity, it works better than otherwise. It does still only get one AoO a round like a normal creature, I see nothing that changes that.

Spell resistance does work (and dispels and ends it if it fails to pass SR), so having such a creature ready to provoke (and allow a hit) could end it. If you can plan ahead, or have it ready, spell immunity is an option. Using a 4th-level spell to counter a 4th-level spell is a hard trade, but a fair one, since at least the caster still caused the use of a spell (possibly an action if the enemy has to cast it in combat). Then you run past and provoke and it's gone. Prepared enemies who know it's a favored tactic can have it ready ahead of time.

Chains of light is troubling from the prospect of having to deal with it suddenly. Obviously if you've heard of it or the caster using it, a reasonably thoughtful foe expecting the PCs has a much better chance of being ready. A potion of paralysis is cheap, and an ally (or more) ready to spend a full round action and provoke their own AoO (or have the spell ready is even better), will grant you a new save at +4 (the spell says a new Will save, but I think that's just because such spells are typically Will saves when they aren't purposefully designed to edge-run around precedent, so it's probably fair to rule it's another Reflex save at +4). Some other way to deliver it; wand, scroll, tiny-sized syringe spear, etc.

Twitch tonic is a similar option. Only 45 gp can be imbibed an hour before hand or administered by an ally after being affected, but it's only a +2 bonus to the save, though it is alchemical, so will stack with most other bonuses.

Otherwise a periapt of proof against paralysis is 8,000 gp. The target will still be fatigued for 1d4 rounds, so that's still a tradeoff and won't completely screw the PC using chains since it will still lower Str, Dex, and prevent the enemy from running or charging for a time.

Freedom of movement is the go-to, obviously.

It also looks helpful to note that a blink effect will still have a 50% chance to avoid the spell hitting if the caster can't see invisible or ethereal, since the spell doesn't stop the blinking until it does successfully land.

Similarly, if you can't be seen, you can't be targeted, so invisibility, fog, smoke, really good Stealth checks for sniping, or staying out of close range can help. Even attacking from behind an illusory wall, which the caster can see through but others cannot, even if they save to realize it's an illusion, or from the interior of a tiny hut, which is opaque from the outside, or from the other side of a wall of fire which is opaque (but probably affects you too).

As for when the target can make the 'new save' each round, I think without saying otherwise, it's at the start of their turn, similar to other hold or paralysis effects. Even being paralyzed, they can still take such actions and choosing to do things is something you do on your turn (like when you choose between keeping your eyes open, averting them, or closing them if a creature with gaze is around). They could wait until 'end' of their turn, but it will likely be a moot issue, since they're paralyzed and probably won't be doing much else unless they have purely mental actions or abilities. So depending on what the initiative order is (and whether the target passes, of course), it could be more or less effective (in allowing allies to attack or Coup de Grace), but that's a tactic or party thing, not an issue with the spell. A caster could delay until after the target's turn and then cast, hoping to let their allies gank the target before it can try its new save, but at least the target got to act (even if they had no clue what was coming), so still fair tradeoff.

At best, the unseen servant could pour the poison out onto a creature if it didn't require an attack roll, such as a sleeping or helpless one or one that was standing very still, like a sentry, that didn't see it (well, technically that didn't see the bottle it was carrying). Or apply it to the surface of something or pour an ingested poison into a food or drink.

525. A sloped earth and rock ramp grows from the ground and extends away from the planter, about 8 feet wide and rising 15 feet up and 20 feet long or as high or long as possible if inside. The ramp is faintly warm and is illuminated as though by nearby fire or lava. The earthen slope remains for one hour before crumbling into dirt and then vanishing.

526. Six dwarven men grow from the ground. They're middle-aged (for dwarves) and dressed in leather coats and hats. They talk and act like western cowboys and follow the planter's orders or assist them, though they aren't slaves or under control. Treat them as followers and they will require payment after the first week. They will die to protect the planter's life, but are not otherwise suicidal nor will they do such tasks, except maybe to save the life of one another.

527. A large piece of quartz mineral grows. About the size of a dwarf, it's cloudy and not of good quality (for uses as a prism for arcane and similar purposes). It weighs several hundred pounds and can broken into pieces to sell for approximately 500 gp if broken up. If able to be transported intact to a large city, museum, or collector, it can be sold as a geological curio for 2,000 gp or more after finding a buyer, possibly 1,200 gp if sold quickly to a pawnbroker or other reseller.

528. The sound of a recorder plays (cue The Legend of Zelda recorder tune) and a swirling whirlwind rises from the ground.

529. A bowling ball-sized rock forms on the ground (20 lbs). If moved, roll on Goth Guru's Things Found Under a Rock table.

Now on The Bardess’ Library #6: New Spell: Lava Droplets

Looks good. As an editor, I might have bolded 'level' after 'school' in the header and made the last line 'dealing 1d6+1 fire damage each' and left out the part about enhancement bonus, since I see no mention of that anywhere else and assume that just means the +1 in the damage which is covered by calling it all fire damage. Just to trim word count. (but I am not your editor, and it's always artist's style).

I can imagine cats being wary of mice if they keep encountering and killing this kind.

Cats are stoopid, though. Stupid... stupid, smug things.

631. Bloodsilver Mooncat
This breed of elven cat are noted for their silver-hued fur, sometimes streaked with platinum. They are the size of a large housecat and typically friendly enough if treated well or raised in a household. Wild bloodsilver mooncats tend to avoid people unless food is left out and they may become less cautious.

They get part of their name from their coloration, and another part from the fact that blood acts as a catnip to them. After killing prey, or being around a bleeding creature, they tend to rub their faces and whiskers into it and drool for several minutes (unless threatened). This doesn't apply to bloodsilver mooncat blood. The other part off their name seems linked to the moon.

While capable of purring, bloodsilver mooncats only do so during the time of the full moon (days and nights), when content or happy or near blood. While as cunning as any feline predator in the wild, domesticated cats become very stupid. So very stupid. Fortunately, only during the full moon. They seem to become like idiotic kittens, asking for cuddles and such, but constantly getting stuck in boxes, falling off shelves, missing jumps, pouncing on blood mice (#630) even if trained or constantly around them, and getting stuck half-way up curtains or halfway into a mouse or rabbit hole like Winnie the Pooh. They also seem to forget they have tails, and can be seen spinning in circles like a dog. Even the ones that don't have tails, and they seem completely baffled when they somehow manage to catch them.

Other felines treat them as any other cat, but turtles (including dragon turtles and kappa) that see one get a +5 enhancement bonus to land speed once per day for one minute. No one knows why. If bloodsilver mooncat blood is used to make a scroll or potion of cat's grace, the user takes one less bleed damage (hit point loss) from bleed effects but has a –2 penalty to Wisdom checks for the duration.

631. Bloodhoney Vine
This variant of honeyvine (#7) is almost identical to its cousin, including flower coloration. Unlike the other, when it's ready for pollination, the flowers turn to a wet, slick blood or rusty color and the nectar they drip is nearly identical to blood in scent and texture. It doesn't attract hummingbirds or bees, though other insects and small predators, especially bloodsilver mooncats (#631), come into contact and spread the pollen and small seeds.

Rumors that it attracts vampires and other blood-drinking undead are false. Undead get no nourishment or sustenance from such bloodhoney, though other creatures might, but only if normal pollen or honey would. It doesn't help mosquito females lay eggs, for instance, though they are attracted to the smell, and can make the vicinity more dangerous. Other than bloodsilver mooncats, who react to it, it doesn't trigger or cause most other blood reactions, such as bloodlust in sharks, though their keen scent detects it as such and it can interfere with such senses if scattered around the area, similar to a cloud or fog confusing vision.

If specially-treated bloodhoney vine bloodhoney is used as a material component in a magic item or spell (10gp or 10 gp per charge) that summons a plant or insects, those creatures inflict bleed 1 on a creature the first time they damage it during the encounter but the duration is reduced by one round (minimum 1 round).

I am just going to run through my thoughts and put them out as I look it over.

TL/DR
I think wind bless edges out haste in power and usefulness in most situations; where the targets don't use Climb, Burrow, or Swim in the fight or it's all melee attacks against them. I'd say it would be fine with the cleric's religious restrictions being so narrow and with druids not getting haste, but with wizard/sorcerer access, that means they can be stacked together, except for the movement, and while that is two spells, it's not unheard of for support casters, especially for buffing an entire party when the situation works (against ranged attacks or with targets that only do one single attacks, like Vital Strikes or move and attacks), and the bonuses to hit and AC stack. It would be tougher on sorcerers with limited spell selection, but with things like spell pages or whatever that up such things, it's not a real restriction for a support caster.

There's not even a restriction, like it not working underwater. Cloak of winds doesn't have that restriction either, I am just saying there's nothing to bring it quite into balance where I think it brings it to parity. Not saying it needs that specifically, but maybe something like the penalty to ranged attacks not applying to siege weapons or spells, or not working underwater. Or being able to be countered or dispelled with a targeted gust of wind (even one requires a caster level check to succeed like dispel). It's very close, and I don't think it will unbalance a game, ultimately, especially your specific one, this is mostly from a broad, dropped into most games viewpoint, where I'd need just something tweaked to make it equal to haste (again, in my opinion).

When I read the part about pairing half-undead or half-construct with a another subtype, I perceive that as pairing it with another humanoid subtype, like human, elf, orc, or goblin, not with another special, non-standard subtype.

I don't think the two options work together without intense detailing and shoehorning. You can have a race that's a cyborg-like living organism kept alive or functioning by machinery (even magical machinery like golems) like a brain in a jar, or you can have them kept alive by undead body parts or energy. I don't think mixing the two (in the form of an entire race or species, as opposed to some individual, unique character) really works, if you're a 'robot/construct' with the rest of you dead/undead, then you're probably just a robot or a golem made from dead parts. If you're an undead with some cybernetic/golem-like prosthetics, then that's probably just add-ons but not racials.

Not saying a GM couldn't do it, but it would have to be such a nuanced and designed and planned for race to make it feasibly believable and workable into the setting (which could also just be handwaved to work around them). Which, again, a GM can do.

I just don't think the race builder rules are meant to do it, but if you (as the GM) find them helpful or as a guideline in making your own or trying to balance it, great, but I wouldn't try and justify your calls by saying they're balanced or 'acceptable' or even tested.

Your Highness, with Danny McBride and Natalie Portman is a humorous fantasy take on an adventure. Not sure how Pathfinder-y it is, but I liked it.

Again, nothing to be done, and this post isn't about tactics, but the treasure. Nothing can be done about low rolls (or high rolls for PCs). Those are just how it goes. But having a swamp-focused creature fighting out of terrain, having it go against overwhelming numbers, and the PCs being strong enough to bull rush down (or just somehow even shake) a 60-foot tall tree (which is really, really big; probably taller, since that's the height where the branches could still support a dragon), and having it fall for damage right at the feet of the party, and giving them all free hits when they already have massive action economy on it. It definitely sounds like a lowered CR than an actual encounter, and rewards should be calculated appropriately (again, not due to the good rolls for the party and bad rolls for the dragon).

It's like putting a massively overwhelming opponent in a scene, but knowing it's just supposed to scare them, so you have it approaching or roaring or basically not actually attacking for three rounds so the party can run, but they don'. They stupidly attack it and get lucky rolls because they have multiple rounds of no threat. They shouldn't get full benefits because you were pulling punches (as opposed to you pulling punches halfway because you realized you made the encounter too hard or they're getting steamrolled).

The treasure should not be full value and it should mostly be useful items of little treasure value; maps, building resources, a captured goblin or something that gives intel, etc.

First, find out from your GM (or decide yourself if that's you), whether the spell is for one trip or not and ends when the caster shifts back or if it keeps running and they can just hop in and out (as long as they're in shadows). I can see it being interpreted either way, but it probably runs and allows the caster to always see a path to the Border Shadow. However, the wording seems to indicate that when returning it's to an abstract location. Even though it says 'when the spell ends', it can easily be interpreted as the spell ending when dismissed or when the caster first shifts back, so make sure you know how your GM rules it.

To me, it reads like the intention is to have a one-way trip to a desired distance and destination (basically within 50 miles per caster level, since you can move 50 miles in and hour and it lasts an hour per level). You get there and end the spell and appear somewhere within 1,000 feet of where you think you are.

The caster can dismiss the spell and end it as a standard action (maybe because their destination was much closer and they got there without needing to spend all the hours, like it was within 50 miles or less). Otherwise, using most spell effects is a standard action, and while it could be viewed as a movement to follow the path back, it's probably a standard.

If your GM does let the spell be used for multiple entering and exiting during the duration, they can transport back along the path (I'd probably rule that a standard action) and use move actions and time to travel along in the direction they want again and then to follow the quasi-real path back to the Material again (but it's still gonna be a random shunt and distance), that seems implied despite the wording of 'when the spell ends'.

Either way, you won't be positioning yourself. Even if you claim you aren't even taking a step after entering the Border Shadow, you and those you're holding are going to get shunted 100 to 1,000 feet in a random direction. Presumably because you aren't just shifting or phasing between planes, but more following a winding, meandering (though illusory) path into and out of the planar border that deposits you in the general area. If that location is a solid object, it's another 1,000 to 10,000 feet away. I see almost no way you will get a full attack, or likely even be able to attack anyone in your original location without incredible random chance or it being such an open and empty expanse that you can see them from where you end up (and have good range).

41. Arrow of Myth-direction (uncommon, The Cleaves 100 Unusual Treasures Booster Pack I)

Similar to an arrow of direction (#31), this arrow points in the direction of the nearest mythical beast, location, or mythic item or creature within range that's not already in the user's presence. Mythical beasts will include Magical Beasts, Fey, or any cryptids, such as sasquatch or yeti.

42. Marrow of Direction (rare, The Cleaves 100 Unusual Treasures Booster Pack I)

(Moderate divination, CL 11) The bone containing it, typically humanoid but not always, is cracked and the marrow can be seen inside. It's still warm. If sucked or scooped out and eaten, it bestows locate object and locate creature on the imbiber, but it's restricted to finding only non-specific creature's of the bone's type (GM's call or roll on Goth Guru's Spooky Scary Skeletons table). They need not choose the target object immediately, though they cannot change the target once chosen and the duration continues to expire if they don't. The user is aware of these details and, similar to how they know the direction of the targets, they can "feel it in their bones."

Like Mysterious Stranger said, potions are chosen at the time of creation. So you won't have a potion of resist energy, you'll have a potion of resist energy (fire) (as seen on the potion list). Other items like scrolls and wands are chosen at the time of casting like normal, unless there's a special case or something, like if the creator only used a certain value of opals or crushed diamonds, limiting the item to its effect.

71. Multi-dimensional Anti-phasic Sphere
The bowling ball sized metallic sphere typically has a base to keep it from rolling around. When activated it screens out planar and dimensional travel or effects within a 60-foot radius. The effect is blocked by four inches of metal, two feet of stone or 5 feet of earth. It can typically operate for one hour on its own power supply before needing replacement or recharging.

When rereading all the old entries and all the comments on making everything 'Dire', I have been considering just throwing a word like 'murder' in front of everything, but maybe I'll do 'blood'.

627. Sarkorian Bloodberry
Mainly found in the fo-shrouded lands of Ustalav, this small berry bush has waxy-green, saw-toothed leaves. It grows deep-red berries in clusters of two. The berries are tasty when ripe, reminiscent of mulberries, but very juicy to the point of almost always running from the eater's mouth like blood capsules. They also leave stains and make for good dye material. They add a +1 circumstance bonus to bluffs or disguises involving being wounded, but anyone imbibing or using one tends to be attractive to insects or swarms for several hours afterwards.

If used in a magic item that summons or controls insects or swarms, it adds one round to the duration for every five, but increases the cost by 1 gp per caster level in materials.

628. Blood Bear
Similar in size to a black bear, this auburn-red ursine lives in forests and consists on an omnivorous diet. They can sometimes be mistaken for a normal, cinnamon-colored black bear. They avoid most humanoids unless protecting their young. Their claw attacks inflict bleed 1 for two rounds if not cured sooner (duration equals bear's Con modifier, minimum 1) and have a mild poison that causes affected creatures to go into a form of rage.

All bears cubs, not only blood bear cubs, are immune to blood bear venom, but this fades as they mature. If blood bear venom is used in the creation of an item that casts rage, the recipients receive an additional +1 morale bonus to melee attacks and a –1 penalty to ranged attacks and AC for the first two rounds.

629. Bloodstone Threadsnakes
Similar to amethystine threadsnakes (#613), these tiny serpents typically have deep-green scales with red speckles. They also leave a coating behind, but it's a more brittle coating that flakes far more easily and is only good for coating hard, unflexing surfaces like wood, stone, or metal. The coating is the same color and texture as a bloodstone mineral. In one day, one bloodstone threadsnake can coat a pebble or sling stone. Without actual guidance, mostly they just leave green streaks in random patterns on things. Unscrupulous people try and pass off ordinary stones as bloodstones to the untrained, though the coating flakes off in a day or two unless the object is kept unhandled.

630. Blood Mouse
These mice are almost indistinguishable from ordinary mice and can even live and coexist among them at times. They have slightly redder tongues, so most people can't identify them without close examination. When killed, they tend to burst into a small, harmless spray of blood and tiny bones. This is startling to most creatures, but hungry predators will still eat the remains. In inhabited areas, people tend to use less lethal mousetraps to avoid having to clean up messes, but cat owners often have to deal with it as their pets catch and kill them around the house.

The treasure thing is pretty clear. Assuming there's no reason it wouldn't have it (it was new to the area and driven from it's old lair and has less than normal), then the PCs should be able to find it if they find the lair (assuming it's made one). Finding the lair doesn't mean it isn't trapped or some of the items aren't hidden and need further finding.

As for tracking, that's a really good Survival check from the alchemist, so can't really fault that, but the likelihood is still in doubt. The party travels at half speed while tracking, and probably slower in the dark, and slower through woods. They need to make a new check every mile or when the DC would increase which could be every hour if it rained, or when they crossed water. Most black dragons live in swamps, which would be muddy or soft, so easier to find tracks (not an issue with Scent), but they also swim, so any pools would also do it. But it's very unlikely the dragon didn't take flight, and that makes it very unlikely, since dragons have broad territory in most cases.

But nothing to be done for it, if they found the lair, they should find the treasure. Roll randomly and maybe it'll be on the upper end, maybe it'll be on the lower end, or you can tweak it a little to make up for them not actually succeeding at the actual difficulty. Possibly it's only a temporary lair and it has only objects that are useful, like potions or wands, or scrolls. Possibly a map or clue that will be useful for the area, but not of real monetary value.

I didn't finish it all, but it looks very well-written and thought out. Looks like a lot of time and work went into it and the grammar and spelling are pretty good from what I've seen.

26. Crossing Guard
Once per encounter, the cartoon may arrest the movement of a creature moving adjacent to them by holding up a hand or finger and saying "Stop!", "Wait!", or similar in a language the target can understand.

The target must succeed at a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 Cartoon's level + Cha mod) or stop moving and lose the rest of their actions this turn. The cartoon receives a +2 equipment bonus to the DC if using a suitable prop, such as a whistle or 'Stop' sign, whether real, illusory, or drawn from a cartoon bag for this purpose. In the case of a sign, the need to speak in a language is not needed if the wording on the sign is legible to the target.

The cartoon loses their Dex bonus to AC against the target and cannot attack them for one round unless attacked by them first. At GM's option, an illusory group of small creatures (ducklings, schoolchildren, kittens, possibly a tiny parade or choo-choo, etc.) pass behind the cartoon and disappear from view.

27. Fist-Fight Dust-Up
Once per encounter, if the cartoon is grappled, whether they initiated it or not, they may use an immediate action to start a whirling, dust cloud of swinging fists, feet, and punches.

All creatures in the grapple are moved into the same space, typically the largest creature's, and they have total concealment from the dust-cloud, though the cloud has no other effects on them, such as dust or smoke inhalation. Combatant do not threaten or have any perception outside the dust-up at this time, even if they can see through dust. Any creature considered pinned at this time loses that condition and are only considered grappled.

Those involved make three opposed rolls each round. The winner of each roll deals nonlethal unarmed damage to all others regardless of whether they would deal other damage or if grappling causes other effects (like burning). Creatures disabled or rendered unconscious are expelled to land on their rear (possible Seeing Stars) in an adjacent square. The cartoon can continue this for a number of rounds equal to their Charisma modifier (min. 1 round) or until the grapple ends.

The cartoon may use a standard action to escape the grapple (before or after the three opposed checks each round). If it does, it can maintain the dust-up for the others with a move action each round (up to its duration above) if within 15 feet. Other combatants may attempt a Sense Motive Check against the cartoon's Bluff or Stealth to realize they've left and end the dust-up, otherwise they continue fighting if even one fails. On their turns, other creatures in the grapple can attempt to escape the dust-up or pin the cartoon (which ends the dust-up). Creature's trying to pin a cartoon that has left the dust-up still roll a check as though they were there, but on a success realize they're only grabbing their own limb. If they were the only creature remaining, the dust-up ends.

The creature is not dead, the creature is stone and is does not detect as alive. Regardless, nothing says that spell durations are ended or stop running or expiring or go into 'stasis mode'. If the target is returned to flesh before the dominate person spell's duration expires (1 day/level), they will still be under its effect. If it's been longer, they will not be. Similarly their mage armor or other spells will probably be gone as well.

The subject, along with all its carried gear, turns into a mindless, inert statue. If the statue resulting from this spell is broken or damaged, the subject (if ever returned to its original state) has similar damage or deformities. The creature is not dead, but it does not seem to be alive either when viewed with spells such as deathwatch.

Even if it the creature was dead, there's nothing that says that spells stop working or go away. If you have resist fire on, then you die, your corpse and equipment will still be protected from fire until the duration ends. Some spell effects might be moot, like if you had fly[/i[, since you're a statue and can't mentally fly around. If you have [i]cat's grace and you die, you will still have that spell on until it's duration expires, even if your Dexterity is effectively 0 and the spell can't normally be cast on a corpse. It was cast while you were a valid target. If you get raised or revivified somehow, you will still have the spell on you.

Fun options: Candyland, Non-creepy amusement park/funhouse, Peaceful cemetery, Tiny planet, Soapy, warm bathtub.

After sleeping on 'greyskin' I hate the name, and will workshop something better with my alternate personalities.

624. Goblin Rapeseed
Like its more common namesake, this plant grows about 1–1.5 meters in height and grows flowers and seeds, though they are a brownish hue rather than a vibrant yellow. A member of the mustard and cabbage family, its seeds can be used to make cooking oil or processed into a mustard. It's more brownish than yellow in both cases, but is safe to consume. For goblinoids, however, things cooked in the oil or garnished with the mustard tastes incredible. If goblins were inclined to farm, they'd probably choose this plant if their neighbors weren't inclined to just raid, pillage, and steal their crop.

While safe, foods including these products tend to cause slight gastric distress and flatulence in most humanoids. This is mostly just embarrassing, but goblinoids also love the smell of these emissions and such imbibers get a +1 circumstance bonus to Diplomacy and Bluff checks when dealing with them. Goblin rapeseed is a commodity most goblinoid communities will trade or negotiate for (unless they think they can rob or raid it

625. Bleeding Brainleaf
This vegetable resembles a pale gray broccoli or cauliflower, with a flowering head slightly resembling a pale-gray brain. It has numerous long, green leaves arcing around it, with a scarlet or crimson streak that runs down their center, giving the plant its name. It somewhat resembles a small intellect devour in appearance except for the coloration.

The flowering part of the plant is edible and tasty if prepared properly, though the leaves and root are inedible and mildly toxic in large quantities. If used as an ingredient in a potion that increases Constitution or Intelligence, it adds one minute to the duration (or 1 round if the duration would be less than one minute).

156. A tarnished silver locket containing the picture of a young half-elven woman.

157. A rusting hatchet.

158. A +1 stone discus.

159. A wrapped bundle of +2 crossbow bolts.

192. Audible Posterior
You can speak from your posterior by manipulating your butt cheeks with your hands, ala Ace Ventura, Pet Detective. This lets you speak clearly even if gagged, choking, or under an effect that prevents speaking (though you cannot breathe this way and silence effects are still effective). You can even cast verbal (V) spells in this manner, but since it requires two hands to perform this, most somatic (S) spells or those that require holding or manipulating material or focus components will be unusable. Certain bardic performances can also be performed in this manner.

193. Prehensile Digit
One of your fingers is prehensile, chosen when this ability is taken. You receive a +1 inherent bonus to Sleight of Hand checks for tasks involving that hand that can be done with one finger (even if more are involved), such as palming a coin or gem or card, but not concealing a blade. The GM may award this for other tasks, such as attempts to escape or undo a knot while bound.

16. Cut Corners
Description: You can move diagonally across corners.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Dodge, Mobility, Medium size or smaller.
Benefits: You can 5-foot step diagonally around corners. You may as also do it as part of a normal move, but at the cost of 10 feet of movement, plus any other terrain modifiers. Normally this wouldn't save any movement, but can be used if an enemy is otherwise blocking passage. This movement still provokes attacks of opportunity and the user's Dodge bonus to AC is reduced by 2 (normally a +5 from Dodge and Mobility) against such attacks.
You receive a +2 bonus to attack any target that threatened you while cutting a corner after you complete the move, but no more than once per combat per target.
Normal: You cannot move across corners.

522. Beanstalk (CL 20)
Simple enough.

523. A flock of sheep grows from the ground. They are otherwise ordinary. 50% will be ready for shearing.

524. A small, glowing beanstalk grows. The area within 30 feet of it glows with a faint aura of drifting motes (dim illumination).

102. Cubic Door
This hand-sized metal cube looks like a die and has a number of pips on each face (1d6). Each side has the same number of dots.

103. Handful of flash powder.

104. Potion of fire breath (CL 10)
Clearly labeled.

519. The planter's feet are encased in lead boots. The boots weigh 40 pounds (20 small), but the planter (only) can wear and move in them as though they were ordinary footwear (Consider their weight to be normal leather boots). If already wearing footwear, they are replaced and the boots gain any magical properties of the replaced footwear (which are gone forever), other than effects that would make no sense for lead boots. Druids will have problems, but the boots can be removed normally at any time.

520. A small beanstalk grows and a single bean appears. After five rounds, the bean snaps loose and floats into the sky, disappearing after a short time. If plucked and released it does the same thing.

521. The moon (or one of the moons) resembles the face of the planter at the time of planting. This lasts for one lunar cycle. Pretty much anyone can recognize the planter unless the disguise themselves. Most will be curious, crowding and pestering the planter, wanting to know how and why and what the deal is with the planter's face being on the moon. Worshippers of the moon will be unhappy and unhelpful (unless the planter is a worshipper of the moon or a moon deity, in which case, they'll be cool. They'll know.).

Armor interferes with the gestures that a spellcaster must make to cast an arcane spell that has a somatic component. Arcane spellcasters face the possibility of arcane spell failure if they’re wearing armor. Bards can wear light armor and use shields without incurring any arcane spell failure chance for their bard spells.

Casting an Arcane Spell in Armor: A character who casts an arcane spell while wearing armor must usually make an arcane spell failure check. The number in the Arcane Spell Failure Chance column on Table: Armor and Shields is the percentage chance that the spell fails and is ruined. If the spell lacks a somatic component, however, it can be cast with no chance of arcane spell failure.

Barding says nothing about changing this, so it would seem that a creature casting spells or using spell-like abilities will not have to check for Arcane Spell Failure if those spells or actions lack somatic components.

If a creature does somehow have such an arcane power, and its description lists a movement that would quite similar to a somatic component to generate it, like it says they wave their arms around or make an arcane gesture, a GM can rule that they require a check. Not all creatures are written with the idea that they'll be wearing armor, so the designers may not have considered it. I can't think of one of the top of my head, but generally it's not going to be an issue.

52. Hammer of the Ford— (moderate transmutation; CL 10) This +2 warhammer has images of parting waves on its head and handle. If struck against the shore of a body of water or into the water itself, it parts the waves, creating a path.

53. Hubert's Hanky Haversack— (moderate conjuration; CL 9) This bag detects and functions as a handy haversack but the first time the user attempt to draw an item from it during combat or a stressful situation there is a 50% chance that instead they pull out a long, connected string of multi-colored handkerchiefs.

Any other humanoid creatures within 30 feet that see this must succeed at a Will save (DC 15) or be fascinated while it goes on. The user's allies cannot shake free with a standard action.

Move action.

does this gaze attack effect multiple creatures or just one ???

Like TXSam88 said, it will (potentially) affect every creature within 30 feet. At the start of each character's turn, assuming they are aware there's some reason to close their eyes or look away from something, the character can decide to close their eyes and not need to make a save, but they are effectively blind and have a 50% miss chance. Or they can avert their eyes from the creature (look at its feet or at a shadow or something) and have a 50% chance to not have to make a save but the creature has 20% concealment miss chance.

This save could happen anytime if something changes. For instance, if the creature with the gaze attack walks or moves into range and is visible, obviously. Then the characters should have to save (unless they averted or covered their eyes earlier, which they may or may not). Or if the player does something that obviously changes their view. For example, if they say they close their eyes to avoid making the save, then move around or do other things and then open them, they need to save (if still in range and creature visible), they don't get to just blink at the start of their action. But they should never have to make this passive save more than once a round against the same creature, ie. walking in and out of range in one round.

Gaze (Su)[/url]]A creature with a gaze attack can actively gaze as an attack action by choosing a target within range. That opponent must attempt a saving throw but can try to avoid this as described above. Thus, it is possible for an opponent to save against a creature’s gaze twice during the same round, once before the opponent’s action and once during the creature’s turn.

On the creature's turn, it can use its action to gaze at a target and force them to make a save but it will fail automatically if the creature isn't looking or they will have a 50% chance to not have to save if they chose to avert their eyes already.

50. Blunderbow– Created by an artisan that loved the blunderbuss, this +1 light crossbow has a bell-shaped cone on the end that the quarrel passes through when fired. The bolt turns into a scatter shot effect. The weapon uses the stats of a blunderbuss except it deals piercing damage. Masterwork, special materials, or magical bolts apply to damage and attacks normally, as long as they make sense as a flying cloud of splinters and slivers. It also reports loudly like a firearm.

51. Cameron's Titanic armor— This armor functions and detects as a suit of titanic armor. The wearer receives a –2 penalty to saves against cold effects and any checks made to maintain footing on icy surfaces or swim in icy (not just cold) water. If the wearer is ever struck by an ice effect, object, or creature (such as ice storm, a thrown icecube or snowball, or an ice golem, not just a cold creature), they must make a Acrobatics check to maintain their footing or fall prone (DC is 5 + damage dealt or the effect's save DC, whichever is higher, difficult terrain penalties apply).
–15% cost.

Crew: The sheer size of a siege engine often necessitates a crew for its use. One person of that crew is the crew leader. Usually the crew leader targets or controls the movement of a siege engine; sometimes the crew leader does both. Often the crew leader is required to take actions and make specific checks in order for a siege engine to function. The rest of the crew members are required to spend actions and make checks in order for a siege engine to function.

While it doesn't specify, I would say that only the crew leader (whoever is firing or driving/controlling the siege engine needs proficiency. The rest of the crew spend their actions loading or turning or otherwise prepping it. Presumably the crew leader directs them appropriateky and they handles the actual use and checks (make the attack rolls or roll for the saves if needed).

37. Mantle of Filth— Functions as a mantle of faith...and it has DR 5/rust and filth instead of DR 5/evil.

Should be 'DR 5/rust or filth' nor 'rust and filth'.

45. Joyless armor— This cursed armor detects and functions as deathless armor except that whenever it absorbs 10 positive or negative energy in an attack or blocks a negative level, the wearer loses the ability to benefit from one +1 morale bonus. They just have a lessened ability to benefit from such feelings.

This reduction to positive morale bonuses stacks, even though they don't reduce a wearer's morale to a negative penalty on their own. They do apply to any morale bonuses that would counteract or mitigate such penalties. The armor can be removed freely but any losses are permanent until the wearer receives a remove curse or similar effect. A successful check removes one of the mitigating effects, with each +5 result above the DC removing an additional.

46. Fornication armor— This cursed armor detects and functions as fortication armor (light, medium, or heavy). Whenever the armor or shield negates a critical hit, however, the wearer receives a distraction penalty to most checks equal to the critical multiplier of the attack due to carnal thoughts and urges in their mind and body. The penalties do not apply to checks made to alleviate the urges (such as Diplomacy or haggling checks or skill checks for performance).

These penalties stack and remain even if the armor or shield is removed (which it can be freely) or until the wearer performs an act requiring 10 minutes of stress relief for each –1 penalty. These sessions can be broken up, removing only some of the penalties and then others in a separate act. A successful remove curse or calm emotions can remove them as well. Creatures that are not subject to such distracting thoughts receive no fortification benefit.
