It costs me how much to buy an item that tells me if my coins are coins?

Aw, I love knowing if my coins are coins. :p

Wish i knew why my name is green. Or is it just on my end?

It's green for me as well, could it be because you're using an alias?

So many repeated items...

I know what you mean. Almost makes me wonder if the submission rate was lower this year, or if it's just one of those things.

I do seem to recall that last year, before the cull, I had a lot of repeats as well. Then I finally started to see new items that hadn't even turned up prior.

*nods* It's at the stage where I can quickly tell which item needs voting for and just wait on the timer.

Someone really needs to come up with a **sarcasm font***

You should be very close.

The person next to me who has been voting for an hour less has it already :/ Could there be something wrong?

Well, won't be needing insert-class-here anymore. Sigh.

Ah, sadly not anywhere near a con. Thanks anyway.

Hey there,

So I'm looking at getting back into Society after a long absence and have a group who also want to join. But when looking over the listed race options we saw; "To create an dhampir, fetchling, grippli, goblin, ifrit, kitsune, nagaji, oread, suli, sylph, undine, vishkanya or wayang character, you must have a Chronicle sheet that opens the race as a legal option at character creation."

So I assume this means we need to complete a certain module to open access to each race; where can we find out what modules open which races?

I don't think I would remove the max dex reduction for the kilt. As I see it, the mithral bonus applies to the entire suit of armor, and only grant +1 dex on the whole. The kilt modifies the max dex bonus of the other armor, and as such don't have a max dex, which is affected by being mithral.

Maybe it just comes from my dislike of the armored kilt (which is mainly to the fact that it negates the need for bracers of armor for arcane spellcasters since it got no spell failure).

I have to say I just like the idea of armour coming in pieces, it's nice. But either way; can a kilt be enchanted? I'd say no if it's being used with regular armour...

I would say that it overcomes the dex penalty but doesn't reduce the weight category unless both items are mithril. You're still adding weight to something that wasn't designed to accommodate it.

Keep in mind that light & medium armor focus mainly/explicitly on the torso, while heavy armor is a whole body thing. That's why the kilt doesn't work on a set of heavy armor.

That explains a lot! I hadn't actually thought of it like that, but it really does explain why it doesn't help heavy armour. I think I like it even more now. I was going to wear it with mithal chain shirt or leaf armour (which I'd say is very light too...) so it should be good.

Can it also be enchanted?

Hi there,

I was just wondering if making an armoured kilt from mithral would negate the increased weight it creates when wearing it with other armour, or the -1 max dex it gives in that situation also?

Here's the write up:
Armored Kilt: Popular among the Keleshite soldiers of
Qadira, the armored kilt is made of a thick cloth skirt with
bars of steel hanging down from the waist and a ring of
horizontal steel plates just above the hem. An armored kilt
can be worn separately as light armor, or it can be added to
other suits of light or medium armor. Adding an armored
kilt increases a suit of armor’s armor bonus by +1, but it adds
15 pounds to the armor, lowers the maximum Dex bonus by
1, and increases the armor’s weight category (from light to
medium and from medium to heavy). Adding an armored kilt
to heavy armor does not provide an armor bonus increase.

Hi there, I was just wondering if Tieflings qualify for the Possess Creature feat(http://www.archivesofnethys.com/feats.htm#possess-creature) and what these possession powers are?

Ah, then while I find that rather awesome for my character I think it may need to be depowered as right now that's knocking off three levels of an attribute a round provided they all hit, and with no save for the monster.

Hey there,

Small question that came up in our group; can you sneak attack more than once per round? i.e. do all your flurry of stars get sneak attack damage?

And if it does then does that mean Pressure Points strike 3 times in a round potentially?

I more meant use Forgotten Trick to remember Acrobatics Master, then use it next turn when you can spend ki to increase your movement (having spent ki for Acrobatics Master last turn and thus freeing up your Swift action), this would mean your speed would be 50 when you use Acrobatics Master meaning you could, in theory, go a lot further.

Another question that came up at our game is could Forgotten Trick be used to 'store' a trick. As the trick lasts a number of rounds equal to the ninja's level could they for instance use it to remember Acrobatic Master and (as it lasts her level) not use it until her next turn when she then spends ki to, for instance, increase her movement to 50.

Ah, so things like Forgotten Trick would be the exception to only being able to use one (unless sacrificing some other Action for another Swift).

Does it take an action of some kind to spend a Ki point? Or could a ninja use a ki to activate Acrobatic Master and to get that added 20 feet of movement?

BAM!

Thanks!

Hey, I must be having a slow moment; where do I find these fabled rules for play testing the ninja class? Link?

I thought it was like that but wanted to be sure :) Thanks!

Quick question; do spell resistances stack? Say if you had an innate spell resistance and a Robe of the Archmagi; would your SR be the combined total? What if it came from two items?

Awesome, thanks for that :)

Hi there.

So was just wondering;
If one has a Belt of Physical Perfection; do your hit points go up?
If you have a Headband of Intellect; do you suddenly get more Skill points?
Do elemental damages stack? (as in could a person have a sword that did fire and cold damage all in the same round, or would it just do one or the other?)
If you had natural armour and an amulet of natural armour does it stack or do you just get the highest?

Can you retrain a feat fro a previous level? Am I imagining having seen rules for this?

Thanks! I thought that was the case but like to get second opinions :)

Hi,

So the Feat 'Boon Companion' says this:
Prerequisites: Animal companion or familiar class ability.

Benefit: The abilities of your animal companion or familiar are calculated as though your class were four levels higher, to a maximum bonus equal to your character level. If you have more than one animal companion or familiar, choose one to receive this benefit. If you lose or dismiss an animal companion or familiar, you may apply this feat to the replacement creature.

Special: You may select this feat more than once. The effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a different animal companion or familiar.
===

And I was wondering what exactly is meant by abilities; it's attributes? The Special sections? All off it?

Hi,

I was just wondering what bonuses stack. I know dodge stacks for instance. But would spell resistances from different sources stack? Would the AC from a Robe of the Archmagi stack with armour? Do Ioun Stones stack with Helms of Intellect?

Where do I find how much gold level 5 characters should have? Starting a campaign at level 5 and need to know >.>

Awesome, thanks!

Really need help finding the range on a launching crossbow if anyone knows it. :)

Can you use Rapid Reload on a Launching Crossbow? Also, I couldn't find the range for a launching crossbow, what is it?

Alchemists get Throw Anything for free at first level, which is nice, it gives a +1 and with Point Blank Shot and Dex I should have a +4 at first level before adding any magic effects, not bad in my opinion.

As stands my two Feats are medium armour prof. and point blank shot, I figure I'll have enough AC to risk getting close after I run out of bombs/alchemists fire's/acid flasks.

Could any of the magic traits be used on alchemist extracts?

Such as;
4 Gifted Adept: Your interest in magic was inspired by
witnessing a spell being cast in a particularly dramatic
method, perhaps even one that affected you physically
or spiritually. This early exposure to magic has made it
easier for you to work similar magic on your own. Pick
one spell when you choose this trait—from this point
on, whenever you cast that spell, its effects manifest at
+1 caster level.

Maybe that came out harsher than you meant it to. I really wasn't all that enamoured with rapid shot or guns anyway, I just wanted to know if it would work.

I've not noticed them in PFS...

I didn't realise guns were even an option in Pathfinder yet, it would suit the character well, where can I find the rules?

Do metamagic feats work on the extract things that alchemists make?

Would I still be able to toss multiple alchemist fire's with rapid shot?

I plan on wearing a breastplate, it's only 1 less AC than full plate, costs a heap less and has less of an armour check penalty.

So I'm thinking of making a Human Alchemist, and I'm beginning to wonder if going Fighter for the first level wouldn't be a better idea than being a straight Alchemist.

As stands my stat line is
Str 12
Dex 14
Con 14
Int 18
Wis 12
Cha 7

I went with Medium Armour Prof. and Point Blank Shot for my feats, but if I went Fighter I could easily get Point Blank, Precise Shot and Rapid Shot in preparation for throwing a heap of bombs and alchemist fires.

I'm looking to make a fairly high AC Alchemist, as I think they can use their extracts without fear of arcane spell failure stuff, and having a potion of Shield and Reduce Person along with a mutagen of Dex seems like it has potential. Only problem I see is at first level I can only have 2 extracts, and Shield/Reduce Person only last a minute, Mutagens last 10; seems like I could wind up in trouble if I used them too early on.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Also, this is for Pathfinder Society, so Alchemists get Dodge for free.
