So if a character has levels in both fighter and warpriest, and the choose to take the Focused Weapon advanced weapon training, do their fighter and warpriest levels stack? Do you choose the higher of your two effective warpriest levels?

Focused Weapon:
Focused Weapon (Ex): The fighter selects one weapon for which he has Weapon Focus and that belongs to the associated fighter weapon group. The fighter can deal damage with this weapon based on the damage of the warpriest’s sacred weapon class feature, treating his fighter level as his warpriest level. The fighter must have Weapon Focus with the selected weapon in order to choose this option.


Ragechemist archetype for Alchemist gives a nice way to embrace the "raging out" concept (additional bonus to strength and increased natural armor). Pairing it with Master Chymist makes for a cool build and incorporates the "start raging when hit" idea.

The only thing that serial killer does is let you count hidden strike as sneak attack for prerequisites (usually this would be for gaining a rogue talent). It doesn't give you sneak attack separately from that. You don't have a d6 sneak attack of any kind.

So Serial Killer works for Twisting fear exactly like a regular stalker since your hidden strike is exactly like that of a regular stalker.

It would use d4s.

Sweet! Thanks!


I am planning out a Dazzling Display build around Violent Display and I saw the Twisting Fear vigilante talent and wondered how it would interact with the Serial Killer archetype.

Serial Killer:
A serial killer must choose the stalker specialization. Her hidden strike is considered equivalent to a sneak attack with the same number of dice for the purpose of meeting prerequisites or using abilities that depend on sneak attack.

This alters vigilante specialization.


Twisting Fear:
Whenever the vigilante causes an opponent to gain the shaken, frightened, or panicked condition, that opponent takes an amount of nonlethal damage equal to the vigilante’s reduced hidden strike damage, as the stress wears upon its body. A creature can’t take damage from twisting fear more than once per round. Panicked creatures that take damage from twisting fear are too winded even to scream as they flee in terror. Only a stalker vigilante can select this talent.

I would interpret this in one of 3 ways:
1) I would use the d4s that a regular stalker vigilante would use.
2) I would use the normal d6s from sneak attack.
3) I would not be able to select the Twisting Fear talent.

Personally, I'd think it's the first, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was number 2. I'd be kinda surprised if it was the third.
