Hey everybody.

I've been looking around and I think people have been using this idea very inconsistently so far, so I was hoping we could clear it up.

Can a spiritualist's phantom take eldritch heritage?

I'm not convinced they can, but not quite sure they can't either. Character level is listed in the prereqs, but character level is almost never referenced in player material afaik, so I'm not sure how it is defined.

Thoughts?


I didn't find this earlier, so maybe my search-fu isn't so good. Anyway here goes: Does the pistolero archetype lose proficiency with simple and martial weapons? It says in the proficiency text that they only gain proficiency with 1-handed firearms, and to take the other firearms he needs to take the feat, but doesn't mention the other weapons.

I have a homebrew setting I'm still working on, and I recently did a bit of development on a "race" that would appear to my group as either allies or enemies depending on the direction they took themselves. I made it before, just not with the race builder, so it wasn't quite fleshed out as this. Please note that this isn't available to the PCs to play (yet), so I'm mostly here for some feedback and if I made this thing the right way.

A bit of setting: This world has a massive surplus of souls. There is no reaper, and no place for them to go, aside from residing in a realm closely tied to the material one. Reincarnation does happen, with flashes of previous lives occurring mostly in dreams.

The Corpse Lotus is a specimen found in the easternmost Silmiean forests and marshes. The close proximity to the furious Savage Lands provides for massive overgrowth in the flora and fauna there. Combined with the massive border defense that Silmieoss has kept ongoing for ages, many corpses have been laid bare for consumption by the wildlife found there. Many of the souls of those lost, however, have not moved on from the primal, ancient forest. Driven by duty, loss, or even hope, these souls have manifest themselves in the local flora, becoming not quite a normal plant, but not an undead in the normal sense either. The "Lotus" are people in spirit and plant in appearance, though their very source is from beyond the grave.

Can it happen?

One of my players has an idea in mind for a weapon. Basically, it's a big rock. He wants to magically enhance it with weapon properties and some such, so at the very least a rock needs to be at least of masterwork quality. I could go either way on this, since I can't remember seeing it in the rules that would disallow this. On the other hand, typically masterwork tools and things add bonuses to skills, and not combat-related at all.

Any thoughts?


To start us off on this adventure, I will give some context. Myself and my players will make up 4 gestalt characters with some other house rules in place just for this game. I encourage my players to post here as well after each session while the game is fresh in their minds. They will, after all, remember more details than just me alone (they will also receive in-game bonuses for doing so). When the game is set up and ready to play (which will be soon), I and my adventuring companions will post details.
