I have a question for those of more experience. With the new optional half-elf racial feat blended view, how do you figure out lineage as it applies to favored class bonuses. You have 1 parent as a drow, the other as a half-elf. Does that mean that the offspring only has access to the original half-elf racial class bonus as well as the drow racial class bonus or do they also keep access to the elf and human racial bonuses as well? Hero Lab allows it, but it does not necessarily make logical sense. After all, you are only 1/4 elf or human by that point.

Can a creature with a fly skill (and fly speed) using acrobatics bypass someone's CMD when trying to get out of someone's reach. Is it a requirement that they have to be on land to be acrobatic? Or can they fly "acrobatically" to avoid AoOs?

Hey all,

In a recent game, I had one of the trolls combating the PC group impale himself on the lead tank's weapon in the hope of no longer having that said character constantly carve up the poor trolls. My question is the following:

What kind of combat maneuver is this? I am leaning towards grapple
How does the character retrieve his weapon? I am thinking opposed strength check

I am imagining the troll pulling said weapon in, holding it and pounding on the PC for the remaining attacks for the following rounds (1 standard action to start the grapple)

Any thoughts?

Has anyone ever considered the Dr. Frankenstein aspect of the alchemist, where the goal is to build golems with a secondary focus on bombing? Any thoughts?

Preexisting campaign has just reached the second part of the Kingmaker Adventure Path. Looking for a 6th player to fill the group. Mixed group of folks in their 30's to 40's. Contact me by forum to discuss. Schedule is currently every second week.

Hi folks,

Looking for some advice on how to make my paladin a bit more versatile and effective in combat. So far, his deity is Shelyn so he is a bit of a give peace, love, and beauty a chance kind of guy. That said, once those have been given a chance, he will go to town on you. So far feats have been combat expertise, weapon focus glaive, improved disarm, greater disarm, and improved trip. So he is excellent for taking people alive but not so good at all sorts of other things. Would power attack or Improved Crit glaive be the next best feat? Or would you suggest something else entirely. Thanks.

I am currently playing a ranger beastmaster but am having a case of buyer's remorse (really missing that level 6 feat). Instead of changing class, is it possible to change to another ranger archetype or maybe just the basic ranger class?

With non-fighter classes, would having improved and greater <insert combat maneuver of choice> be a useful addition to the bag of tricks. Given that BAB is lower than fighting classes, wouldn't being able to trip and loading on the hurt on a prone opponent make sense? Same with things like feints or dirty tricks. All these combat maneuvers seem tailor made to level the playing field somewhat. This seems even more true given that most builds discussed are about damage maximization and not necessarily increased chance to hit. Any thoughts?

Hi Everyone,

I currently have a ranger beastmaster with stats(16Str, 17Dex, 12Con, 18Int, 13Wis and 14 Cha and yes, I rolled well). I was thinking of switching over to a rogue and being a skill monkey that is able to do TWF. A few questions:

1) Is it worth getting the StepUp, FollowingStep feat tree or should I focus on immobilizing the badguy with the Improved Feat Tree.

My character is about the least intimidating half-orc ever with the chain fighter and rock climber alternate racial traits.

2) Should I wait till level I reach level 4, that way I can get Diehard without having to pay with Endurance or switch one level earlier and forget about getting Diehard, that way I can eventually get one more rogue trick?

In terms of group composition, we have a barbarian, a druid, an illusionist and a bard, so definitely not a typical party.

Thanks.

Hi all Montreal gamers,

Wondering if there are any groups out there looking for an additional player to have in a campaign or organized play. not looking to play pbp, just face to face. Have been playing for about a year. Can run kingmaker if need be but I need my PF fix. Let me know.

cheers,
