If the item would normally be considered an improvised weapon, you can treat it as either a normal weapon or an improvised weapon, depending on which is more beneficial for you. Think you may have misread. Though if I had to guess a weapon to represent it, would go heavy mace or greatclub.
After playing with another player who quite literally made his character as a caricature of Harambe (for Iron Gods of all things), I'm wishing your GM was around for that short campaign.
Go with a single level dip into oracle for Cha to AC, then go Daring Champion. You get to dump int as well (replaced by Cha for feat prereqs) and you get both the Challenge ability as well as stealing Precise Strike from swashbucklers. Pick up the Startoss Style feat chain and beam people with starknives at melee or range.
Your main hurdle is, a gauntlet is a weapon. A weapon that allows you to do lethal damage equivalent to what your unarmed strikes do and that provokes, but still a distinct and separate weapon. AoMF wouldn't work on it. It would be a case of either or, a choice between making an attack with a "pure" unarmed strike (which then uses the AoMF) or using the gauntlet (which would then use the weapon enchantment, if any, and gain the style feat benefits). Protoman's post sums it up very well. Gauntlets are not a weapon, they just provide a means of lethal damage with unarmed strikes. AoMF specifically does work on them. (Note: I will personally still allow them to be enchanted in home games, as I believe they should be weapons, but this is a rules forum.)
Remember to embed those ioun stones surgically. DC 25 heal check? Something like that. I'll have more access later to see if there's any nifty tricks.
Why to be a bard?
If the party pulls an Anti-Magic Field item, let them.
Naturally the BBEG is already standing on the furniture, they know how the game works.
No enemy caster would have a reason to use non SR spells though on you. He'd likely still cast at least twice, figuring if the first spell fails it was more just a fluke before altering his combat plan, and by that point he is likely dead.Or they load up on No SR spells, which Conjuration is especially heavy on. Or they make a rather pitiful knowledge check to see what you are (especially easy for wizards). Or they open with a spell that doesn't permit SR (also common via paranoia).Or they use a defensive spell to insure you can't touch them (a la field alteration via wall/force spells, invis, flight, severalOtherMethods). Or they have the various spell penetration bonuses (which many casters do) and send an arcane bulldozer through your lovely picket SR fence.
I would like to hear from someone that actually makes their PCs use an action to turn it on. I use it. If the PCs aren't getting ambushed, they pretty much just turn the weapons on prior.Plus some of the command words they use are great.
Probably BECAUSE nothing is called out that has that ability. Which leads to the more philosophical question: Is a rule that governs nothing still a rule? I'm not falling for your shenanigans.
If a paladin was indeed trying to perform such an act , then i would warn him about it , since doing so a few more times would result in being made neutral and losing his powers.wait... how do Paladins even live their lives if neutral acts pull them to neutral? Had a shield archon in a game I'm DMing that the players used to make flapjacks on its' tower shield. They were divine.
So he's human and magic doesn't affect him?
Easy to bind, fast, (su).
Just as an FYI as well, nothing in animate dead prevents it from being used on outsiders. Just whip up a quick lesser planar binding and have at it. Note that the nightmare also has garbage cha and will for its' level.
DM_Blake has some fantastic advice farther up, and I'll just drop my 2 CP down here. Don't permit flow, don't let the players get settled.
Belongings misplaced, people with small quirks that stand out to an already paranoid PC, etc. Capitalize on the fact that the players know something is up, and allow them to twist normal occurrences into their own horror. Molehills into mountains and all that.
Standard assumed height per floor is about 8 feet of clearance between floor and ceiling with 1.5 to 2 feet of space between floors for ductwork, cabling, etc. Considering Golarion and other "medieval" settings can ignore the clearance requirement, 10 feet seems pretty reasonable for an average height. Double it up for fancy hall/foyer areas and you're set. |
