Hey, just a short question concering elbow smash

"The monk follows up a punch with a strike from his elbow. If the attack hits, the monk can make an additional attack using the same attack bonus as the punch at a –5 penalty. If this second attack hits, it deals damage as normal, but all of the damage is nonlethal. The monk must attack with a fist to use this style strike."

Does the first attack and the elbow smash both deal non lethal damage or does the first attack deal lethal damage and just the additional attack deals non lethal damage?

Thanks for your help in advance

Thanks you are my hero, my group just entered the mysterium.

Hi, my players will enter the mysterium soon, and I dont really get where to the angel gates lead. I've read the whole part several times but I dont get it.

Could you help me out?

Hello,

if I take this feat, will my tiger lose 1 claw and get 1 slam or will he lose both claws and get 2 slams?

Logical Spell is a good option.

Spell Perfection was too feat heavy in my opinion.

It's not too hard to come up with 3 really good metamagic feats - like quicken, persistent, and dazing.

No but it takes 3 Feats that's the reason why I don't like regardless of beeing pretty awesome.

How are you getting both spell focus and greater spell focus at level 1 as a half-elf?

Our GM said we receive 1 additional feat at level 1

Hello, soon™ I'll be playing a way of the wicked game. My amnesiac is almost done, but I'm missing one feat. Do you have any suggestions and what are your opinions concering the other feats?

Hello,

how does the human fcb works with an amnesiac? Are those seperate spells that dont count into the amnesiac slot calculation?

e.g

At level 8 I'd know 2 level 3 spells without my fcb, so i'd have 1 known spell and 1 amnesiac slo and 1 fixed spell through my fcb.

Or would I know 3 level 3 spell which would be 2 spells known and 1 amnesiac slot (and could be changed to any spell I want, if I could cast level 5 spells?)

Whats the point of the chain of nights ritual, do the pcs receive anything if they succeed?

Hello, I'll be playing an amnesiac psychic soon and I'm confused about the overwhelming presence spell level.

According to:

Paizo.com it's a 4th level spell
D20 it's a 9th level spell
AoN it's a 9th level spell

Then we have 2 psychic disciplines that have overwhelming presence as a bonus spell

Rapport has overwhelming presence as a bonus spell at level 18 (so 9th level)
Pageantry has overwhelming presence as a bonus spell at level 8 (so 4th level)

Personally I think it would make more sense as a 9th level spell, but I wouldn't mind having it as a 4th level spell :)

Thanks

Ok thats fine for me, thanks for your help.

Hello,

currently we are playing Iron Gods and the party will find a rocket launcher soon.

I'm a bit confused about the launcher it got a capacity of 10 and usage 1 disposal. Does this me it has 10 rockets in total and there is no way after 10 rockets to use it again?

And could a techslinger use covet charge to shot more than 10 rockets ?

Thanks

sorry the Half Orc fcb is pretty weak imho.
Dropping imp initiative in favor of extra wild talent or another feat is a solid option.

I really like blue flame and if air wouldnt offer good support talents like celerity, wings and some other I would go fire/fire/x.

Hello, how much range do I have if I use Kinetic Whip to attack 10 or 15ft. ?

Thanks for your replies,

usally our group doesnt really care about encumberance, there are some exceptions but those involve let's say unusual actions.

And I want at least once a character without a negative charisma score.

Kinetic Blade + Weapon Finesse sounds good to me, bye fan of flames.

Hello, soon I'll be playing cotct and I really like the kineticist concept, but there are so many possibilities.

Could you take a look at my kineticist and give me your opinion and probably some advices?

Hello, I had a discussion with a fellow player and we aren't sure about the ruling concering bane/holy and iterative attacks.

Flaming/Cold enchantments deal 1d6 on each sucessful hit, but holy/bane lack this discription.

Could you please enlighten us ?

Yeah especially missing 3 combat feats hurts a lot. But the unblinking flame adds a lot of flavor.

So should I chose one of 3 chains or two of them ?

Hi, soon I'll be playing way of the wicked and I'd like to play a brawler (archetyp Winding Path Renegade)

Hi, I'm currently playing my first pathfinder campaign (Rise of the runelords) as a Empiricist. We got the option to reroll our stats, the class or even the character in case we aren't happy with our decision.

I really love the concept of the investigator class, but my old character had some problems especially in battles. So I decide I would just reroll my feats and talents.

At the moment we reached level 3 and this is the build for the future.

I would really appreciate some advices.

Thanks a lot

1 Weapon Finesse
1 Inspired Panache
3F Weapon Versatility

The Number include the level of the inspired blade.

And is it worth to lose true inspiration ?

Sorry my bad, english isnt my native speak.

Thanks a lot for your advice.

I'll tell him about mystic weapon finesse, otherwise I wont feel good about it.

Is there any difference between slashing & fencing grace?

My gm told me, that I could use mythic weapon finesse. Originally I'd take Weapon Finesse, Focus and Slashing Grace.

Starting level is 1 and I'll be fighting with a witch, a fighter, a bard and a paladin.

Do you have a suggestion for early stabbing ? :)

Afterwards I'm not sure how to continue, extend & eternal Potion look quite promissing & greater combat inspiration aswell. Will extend & eternal Potion affect my extrakts or will they only work with potions crafted with Craft: Alchemy?

As traits I choose student of philosophy & accelerated drinker.

Thanks
