Magic Armor, Shields, and Weapons Each +1 of enhancement bonus adds 2 to the hardness of armor, a weapon, or a shield, and +10 to the item's hit points. Give me a moment to actually cite the source from a core rule book. Edit: Page found in Core Rule Book, 175. Table 7-12 Common Armor, Weapon, and Shield Hardness and Hit Points

Thank you for letting me know Blakmane, I didn't do all the research and only typed what I thought at the time. I apologize. Apparently having no legs makes you immune to being tripped. Although you can still have the prone condition by using a free action on your turn. Since Merfolk and other races or monsters don't have 'immune to prone' only tripping. Another example is the Command spell usage of 'Fall', these still would make the character(or creature) in question prone.
Under no circumstances are things without legs immune to the prone condition, perhaps having to MANY legs makes you immune to being trip via combat maneuver but spells and taking a free action to drop prone is still available to you. Example see Centipede. Having fluff provide a mechanical benefit is always a bad time for all involved unless everyone in the group is on the same page and okay with it.
Edit : Whoops, I'm thinking about Internal Alchemist's Breath Control ability which extends your effective time to hours by spending a full round action.
This is a quick question I have about Swashbuckler's deed Opportune Parry interact if at all with Litany of Sloth? Both descriptions below. Opportune Parry and Riposte (Ex):
At 1st level, when an opponent makes a melee attack against the swashbuckler, she can spend 1 panache point and expend a use of an attack of opportunity to attempt to parry that attack. The swashbuckler makes an attack roll as if she were making an attack of opportunity; for each size category the attacking creature is larger than the swashbuckler, the swashbuckler takes a –2 penalty on this roll. If her result is greater than the attacking creature's result, the creature's attack automatically misses. The swashbuckler must declare the use of this ability after the creature's attack is announced, but before its attack roll is made. Upon performing a successful parry and if she has at least 1 panache point, the swashbuckler can as an immediate action make an attack against the creature whose attack she parried, provided that creature is within her reach. Litany of Sloth:
With a litany against the wages of sloth, you slow the target’s defenses. The target cannot make attacks of opportunity or cast spells defensively. Would Litany of Sloth make a Swashbuckler's Opportune Parry Deed unusable for that round?
Spellcraft by RAW can work against a Stilled and Silent spell at no penalty. However this sounds like a Knowledge (Local) to identify that your humanoid native outsider druid has a supernatural ability. Or whatever knowledge it would be to give the enemy any information against the party. If you're Game Master wants to be nice and non meta-gaming. Other wise your Game Master decided it would be more fun for the intelligent Ghast not to jump off some high spot just to presumably die or injure itself by falling.
Yup. It's a one and done artifact. On a note, it's useless if you break it open and do nothing with it for twenty four hours. For your second question, you break it open and you have a LIMIT of what it can transform. Do note it says 'or' when talking about transmutation, no mixing and matching for those pesky PC if they get their grubby little mitts on it.
Bear with me guys and gals, what if the character in questions is a BLOODY Skeletal Champion? They've got blood coming out their everywhere! Joking aside, I don't think Thanatopic is needed to cast Blood Money. The benefit of the meta magic doesn't affect physical stats anyways. Thanatopic:
A thanatopic spell pierces defenses and immunities that protect against death effects, negative levels, and energy drain, affecting the target as if the protective barrier did not exist.
The spell automatically calls out anyone who is immune to strength damage. Thanatopic by RAW doesn't bypass stat damage only Death Effects, Negative Levels, and Energy Drain. Edit: Words are hard to spell. I was super wrong, super wrong.

The con score might have been intended as well, but as it stands now it's no different than a "-" in con. As you stated Xavier, it might be because of it's possible status as a familiar choice for the feat improved familiar.
Clockwork Subtype for constructs does not normally give a constitution score. This is likely an error you have in your material, in Bestiary 3 the text is as follows... Clockwork Subtype: Clockworks are constructs created
through a fusion of magic and technology. They have the following traits unless otherwise noted. • Winding (Ex) Clockwork constructs must be wound with special keys in order to function. As a general rule, a fully wound clockwork can remain active for 1 day per Hit Die, but shorter or longer durations are possible. • Vulnerable to Electricity: Clockwork constructs take 150% as much damage as normal from electricity attacks. • Swift Reactions (Ex) Clockwork constructs generally react much more swiftly than other constructs. 304 They gain Improved Initiative and Lightning Reflexes as bonus feats, and gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC. • Difficult to Create (Ex) The time and gp cost required to create a clockwork is 150% of normal. Construction requirements in individual clockwork monster entries are already increased.
Ipslore the Red wrote: I don't think that's necessarily the case. I've seen posts saying that they count as +X towards the +10 limit, with the only difference being a flat cost. Page 462 Core Rule Book "Magic Armor and Shield Special Ability
It's for Game Master use when rolling loot. Glamored on armor is a good example, flat cost of +4000(2,700 with Ultimate Equipment) gold in the core rule book page 463. Here is a chart where the game master would roll and find out random armor enchantments and flat bonuses to the armor(Or weapons). This has no effect on the +10 hard cap of non-mythic items(other than making it sell for more!).
Edit. I was completely wrong. However, reading actions out of combat or initiative order is highly recommended against. Surprise rounds exist solely for this reason as does rolling for initiative. To avoid situations such as this.
"This ability otherwise follows the normal rules for rage." Followed by rage's normal text... "While in rage, a barbarian cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or any ability that requires patience or concentration." You've got your answer.
RAW, pretty sure you're stuck with a mundane skeleton key. No reason not to just get a magical set of thieves tools and enchant them like a competence bonus item. First find a magic with a similar price with a similar ability. Now since your tools are an un-slotted item we go to magic price GUIDELINES. Multiply the cost by two to get your slotless tools that has been enchanted for a +5 bump to Disable Device.
I love Monks as much as the next person but there isn't anything specifically allowing a Drunken Master to take a five foot step AND use their swift action to move an additional five feet. So is there a question here? You know what RAW is on the matter, you've explained quite thoroughly. You could use normal movement to move into a threaten square(No AOO) and then use your swift action to move the next five feat without provoking an AOO.

Whoops~ Thanks for the catch Are.
It's mostly for Random Generation for Game Master use, the equivalent of the appropriate weapon. Klokk, Keen double the critical range on a weapon it does not change the multiplier. Ever. Rules as Written(RAW), it seems like you play in a heavily house rules place. Sounds like a lot of fun where all sorts of fun hi-jinx can happen, I'm pretty jelly.
Long story short, there are two sides on the enchanting of armor and weapons. The enhancement bonus. This adds a flat one to Damage(weapon) or Armor Class(Armor). These bonuses cannot be above five, period. Game Masters 'can' be above this rule along with some special cases. (In particular bane adds +2 and 2d6 damage) Special Weapon/Armor Properties. These bonuses come in +X, going all the way to +5 at the maximum. Nothing short of Game Master magic or permission is going to let you bypass this. As for the gold cost in the weapon enchants it was placed there for Game Masters could role loot and not have the same +1 Flaming Keen Longsword pop up all the time in treasure. Now you can get a Transformative +1 Flaming Keen Longsword. As long as the weapon or armor has a plus one enchantment bonus on the item in question you only need to pay the flat gold cost. The +3 Keen(+1), Ghost Touch(+1) Vorpal(+5) Dwarven War-axe doesn't exist. It's breaking the rule of having a maximum of +5 to enchantment bonus and +5 to Special Weapon Properties. Vorpal ALWAYS requires a natural twenty to use it's special weapon property, no if ands or butts.
I'll see about taking a crack at this, just be reminded that I've known to be wrong. First question, I'd have to agree with you. You're wielding a pistol and Gunslinger is a word for people doing such things. However I could be convinced otherwise on this matter. Second question. Bypasses means by the appropriate special material or alignment or weapon damage type. Core Rule Book page 12, Damage Reduction. Three. No Clustered Shots:
Benefit: When you use a full-attack action to make multiple ranged weapon attacks against the same opponent, total the damage from all hits before applying that opponent’s damage reduction. Clustered Shots is defiantly multiple shots on the same target. Bonus Question When full-attacking with the Seraphic Pistol does each attack count as 'a single attack' for the special ability of the pistol?
Cao Phen is correct, the DC is normal rules to calculate any spell DC. 10 + Spell Level + Ability Modifier = Spell DC There isn't a need for a rule or FAQ update, unless you forgot to post another question. Cauldron (Ex):
The witch receives Brew Potion as a bonus feat and a +4 insight bonus on Craft (alchemy) skill checks. Brew Potion:
You can create magic potions. Prerequisite: Caster level 3rd. Benefit: You can create a potion of any 3rd-level or lower spell that you know and that targets one or more creatures or objects. Brewing a potion takes 2 hours if its base price is 250 gp or less, otherwise brewing a potion takes 1 day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. When you create a potion, you set the caster level, which must be sufficient to cast the spell in question and no higher than your own level. To brew a potion, you must use up raw materials costing one half this base price. When you create a potion, you make any choices that you would normally make when casting the spell. Whoever drinks the potion is the target of the spell. If your question was if your potion of Blindness/Deafness you would need to choose what effect you were brewing for the potion. Now if your question is why there is not text in these feats for the DC for potions you make that is a valid question and I'm wondering that myself. Oddly enough I can't seem to find the relevant text to find the DC of potions, however it's almost universally accepted that the DC is as Cao Phen.
Animal Affinity You are skilled at working with animals and mounts. Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Handle Animal and Ride skill checks. If you have 10 or more ranks in one of these skills, the bonus increases to +4 for that skill. You had to forget to tack on the final part of the feat description didn't you?
Scavion has the right idea on this. Nothing prevents you in the description in the Fey type that you can't raise them from the dead, either by animate dead or resurrection. You might be remembering that in Golarion that Fey are from the first world and that is another plane of existence. Making you confused as normally creatures from other planes Outsiders cannot be raised from the dead.
While Nauseated you may only take a single move action. Given enough round you can pull the vial out of where ever you might be holding it. Drinking a potion is listed as a standard action and I've yet to find an action to drink a vial of anything alchemical listed in the combat section. I'm most likely skipping over it but in the case that a character is nauseated you might need someone else to administer the Wismuth Salix.
Crane Riposte (Combat):
You use your defensive abilities to make overpowering counterattacks. Prerequisites: Crane Style, Crane Wing, Dodge, Improved Unarmed Strike, base attack bonus +8 or monk level 7th. Benefit: You take only a –1 penalty on attack rolls for fighting defensively. Whenever you use Crane Wing to deflect an opponent’s attack, you can make an attack of opportunity against that opponent after the attack is deflected. Crane Wing (Combat):
You move with the speed and finesse of an avian hunter, your sweeping blocks and graceful motions allowing you to deflect melee attacks with ease. Prerequisites: Crane Style, Dodge, Improved Unarmed Strike, base attack bonus +5 or monk level 5th. Benefit: Once per round while using Crane Style, when you have at least one hand free and are either fighting defensively or using the total defense action, you can deflect one melee weapon attack that would normally hit you. You expend no action to deflect the attack, but you must be aware of it and not flat-footed. An attack so deflected deals no damage to you. As a standard action you decided if you want to fight defensively. Done, it doesn't matter that your attack hasn't happened yet. You've satisfied the Crane Style feat chain and use Crane Wing and then Crane Riposte. Dang it Wraith and I typed out all of this too.
Thank you Dosgamer, this clears up that nagging feeling I feel that BTLOTM, VRMH, Partyrico, and myself were having about there not being a explicate rule. Peachbottom, I feel that your interpretation is wrong. Your bolded sentence is the mechanical benefit for the caster for all who failed their save. It has no bearing to do with the caster's total Hit Dice limit. Dosgamer's explanation is sufficient and leaves little to nit pick at. Edit : Spelling is hard guys and gals.
