I searched for an answer on these forums and haven't find one. Does a superstitous barbarian (that is, a barbarian with the superstition rage power)--that successfully saves vs a cure spell during a rage (i.e. the spell is not successful)--still get healed for 1/2 of the spell's effect?

Cure Light Wounds, statblock wrote:
Saving Throw Will half (harmless)

--and--

Cure Light Wounds, descriptive text wrote:
An undead creature can apply spell resistance, and can attempt a Will save to take half damage.

.

Basically, I can see that being interpreted three possible ways, with varying degrees of adherence/favor to intent, the spell's statblock, or the spell's descriptive text.

Which of these is correct:

1) The statblock that says "Saving Throw Will half (harmless)" applies to all targets (Superstitious Barbarian must save, and gets half healing even if the save succeeds)
2) The descriptive text means that only undead need to save against the spell in any situation (Superstitious Barbarian doesn't need to save, and receives the full effect of the spell)
3) The descriptive text means that only undead get the half "damage" (Superstitous Barbarian must save, and gets no healing if the save succeeds)

If you are GMing a scenario that includes a terrain challenge that seems unreasonable for an animal companions to travel through (example below), and the PCs are unable to present a strategy for getting past it, should the PC be forced to leave their companion behind?

Or is there an assumption that an Animal Companion is such an important class feature that this should be hand-waved so the PC isn't "nerfed" by the absence of their companion through much of the scenario?

Example: 6-06 Hall of the Flesh Eaters:

This scenario involves descending down vines into a shaft of broken earth to reach the interior of a Gloomspire, where the bulk of the adventure takes place. Most 4-legged creatures (boar, wolf, etc.) lack adequate Climb skills for this challenge. If the PC is unable to provide some alternate method of getting the companion down the shaft, must the companion be left behind up top?

Targeting high tier for this run, with a projected start date of Monday, Nov 2. This is an open recruitment, first-come first served (so we may not end up in high tier, depending on who signs up and with what PC). As such, this game will qualify for boon support under the OSP program.

First six players will be accepted; unless you think you cross-posted with another potential #6, feel free to fill in your info on the Discussion tab (or start figuring out with other players which PCs you all want to bring).

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 1–5.

Few societies have so vaunted a tradition of leading crusades as Taldor, yet the constant revisions to its history by scheming factions leaves the truth obscured by countless acts of political modifications. Even the lauded Kitharodian Academy’s texts are riddled with these changes, so when a secretive ally approaches the Pathfinder Society with information about a hidden archive that contains the unaltered histories, the Pathfinders plan a daring infiltration to recover the secrets of Taldor’s past victories so that Mendev might benefit from the discovery.

Content in "Library of the Lion" also contributes directly to the ongoing storylines of the Cheliax, Grand Lodge, and Taldor factions.

Silver Crusade

I have a 4th level witch for which I'm retraining the archetype. As a result of this retraining, I'm losing my 1st and 4th level hexes to alternate class features. Below are the hex choices I made at each level:

1st: Evil Eye
1st (Extra Hex feat): Flight
2nd: Cackle
4th: Misfortune

My question is this: must I lose Evil Eye and Misfortune (my two most useful hexes) because they are the specific choices made at the levels that I lose hexes for, or can I just choose two of my four hexes to lose? I.e. could I choose to lose Flight and Cackle instead, essentially shuffling things around to look like this:

1st: Flight (lost to archetype class feature)
1st (Extra Hex feat): Evil Eye
2nd: Misfortune
4th: Cackle (lost to archetype class feature)

Silver Crusade

In general, if you qualify for two different faction goals in a scenario, do you think it's better to complete a goal that has only one box, or check off one box towards a goal with multiple boxes?

(Specifically, I have a Scarab Sages PC that can check off one of two boxes for the "explore an ancient site" goal, or can check the only "find a gem worth X" goal (both from season 9). Both seem situational (ancient site, finding a gem), but not terribly rare either.)

Silver Crusade

What is matomo, and why is my browser almost always waiting for it now?

Silver Crusade

Is this build, using both the Blossoming Light and Divine Paragon archetypes, legal?

Both archetypes modify the domain class feature. The Luminous Font feature of Blossoming Light causes the cleric to lose access to domain spell slots. The Devoted Domain feature of Divine Paragon causes the cleric to lose access to the domain powers of one domain.

Since they both modify different aspects of the Domain class feature, I believe that they should be compatible, but I wanted to check here before I play this guy to be sure.

Silver Crusade

I'm building an Elf Investigator in HeroLab for PFS play. He doesn't have any feats or traits that affect weapon proficiency. Here is my problem: HeroLab seems to think that this character would be proficient with an Elven Curve Blade (i.e. it's showing it as an available choice for purchase when I filter by "valid items").

Investigator doesn't have proficiency with ECB that I can tell, nor does it have proficiency with Martial weapons (so Elven Weapon Familiarity doesn't do it).

Is HeroLab just wrong here, or is there something I'm not seeing?

(Note: I was planning him as a rapier wielder anyway, so it's not a big deal if he can't wield an ECB)

Silver Crusade

A friend is designing a one-shot mystery-themed game where we all have to build a detective from pop culture to play. The following have been taken already:

Inspector Gadget
Ace Ventura

Here is my short list of ideas to play:

Sherlock Holmes (Empiricist Investigator)
Sookie Stackhouse (Fey bloodline sorcerer)
Doctor Who (Reincarnated Druid)
Encyclopedia Brown (???)
Patrick Jayne (Social-focused Bard?)
Dexter (Slayer?)

Aside from Sherlock, I'm pretty much rejecting most of the 'traditional' mundane detective types. I.e. no Poirot, Magnum PI, Sam Spade, Columbo, Kojak, etc.

What other ideas might I be missing? Bonus points: suggest a class/archetype for the character. (We'll be playing at level 6.)

Silver Crusade

Check in here once you've created your avatar. Here we'll discuss who gets what character, and how we play the game.

Silver Crusade

Are there certain character types that are too commonly used? Is there any character that you see in submissions for your games that you reject out of hand because you've just seen too many versions of that concept before?
