I've done searches for this and didn't come up with a viable answer so I'm writing this. My magus took Combat Maneuver (Trip) Arcana. Does he have to have Combat Expertise to get it?
On quadruped eidolons with the mount evolution, the "saddle" is already present as part of the eidolon.
My eidolon, biped, has armor +4 and natural armor +4, which I have constructed my eidolon to have full plate like armor all over. This is part of the eidolon and can't be removed unless I decide to change the way it looks when I level up.
In a campaign I built, the city of Drava uses adventurers to patrol the sewers and guard the prisoners sent in to clear the sewage. Many and multiple plots can lead from here.
Depending on your mount, if your a summoner, give your eidolon mount reach. That way your lance strikes and your mount can bite before coming into melee range next round.
Probably. Depends on why you want a no mount cavalier. Most cavalier builds are imho sub-par to other classes. Even thought the ghost Rider Archetype is pretty cool.
any large town/city should have some form of sewer system, ideal for side quests. Dire rats, smugglers, and even some of the more difficult critters that can make their home in sewers. You could start em on the side quest with some deaths due to unusual mauling's and/or teeth marks that would show something was killing and eating the citizens.
Hmm, you might consider more stealth related effects to act ghost-like. Hide in shadows and such. I have a fetchling slayer who's main effect is to create shadow to hide in and attack from.
Feather Step Slippers? Once per day for 10 minutes? What? crap, there goes part of my combat build. If only they would have changed it to "Can be used for 10 minutes per day, in 1 minute increments." That would have been better.
You could consider the critical fumble deck in this case. It has various side-effects to fumbles. I don't recommend the critical deck though. Me and my other players have had too many minimum crits with non-applicable side effects.
you and your DM are having a discussion over 3 types of effects.
1) Composite bows are made to benefit from the strength of the wielder which adds the strength modifier to the damage. page 141 core rulebook under projectile weapons and page 147 core rulebook under bow, composite.
2)Keep in mind, you must differentiate between enhancement bonus and strength bonus i.e... +2 Composite Longbow (+2 Strength). Easier to understand.
3) you can have a masterwork Composite Longbow (+2 Strength) and enchant it further as able. Page 149 core rulebook under Masterwork Weapons.
In effect, Composite(strength) adds to the damage, Masterwork adds to the attack. And when the bow gets enhancements, they supersede the masterwork bonus to attack.
Charisma is more than just your empathy and interactions. It's also your physical appearance. Taken in what the others have said but also with boils, you could also add not bathing, picking at your boils, scratching in an obvious manner, even so far as dropping your pants and doing your business in public. Almost any odorous habit could be used in this context.
I've played a gnome summoner mounted build that was awesome. I spent my first level feat in lance proficiency then set things up to charge em. With a small race you can do dungeon crawls pretty well due to you mount is medium sized. My eidolon was my mount and I gave him evolutions to increase his damage while protecting me.
bbangerter, Thanks, I had been considering the verbage RAW as not quite in line with my previous post. You have nailed the discrepancy.
In effect, the Strangler (Feat) adds to a regular attack using the swift action to do additional SA damage that does not stack with other sources of SA damage. So, the Stranger (Archetype) gains no benefit from this feat.
hmm, not to muddle the waters further but I would work it similar to a quickened spell and casting a spell in the same round. Swift action + standard action.
Of course, you can use a swift action at any point during your turn.
By the wording of the grappled condition, use a standard action to do damage. so you would do the Strangle damage + xd6 SA.
Since you have already maintained your grapple,
Then use a swift action to use strangler doing xd6 SA damage.
The point here is doing your standard action first.
how would an adamantine anytool benefit someone? game-mechanics please.
How much would it cost? Adamantine doesn't list a price for non-armor/weapons.
Could you do this to an immovable rod? How much would it cost to do so?
Game mechanics wise, totally up to the GM. While it can be used as an improvised weapon, the tool is otherwise completely used for mundane tasks usually encompassed by craft checks and profession checks. An adamantine tool could likely be argued to be more useful in some cases, perhaps convincing a GM to grant an extra bonus to skill checks, or allowing skill checks or actions where they would not normally be allowed. (As an example, tunneling through stone or cutting wood exceptionally fast)
Making the item adamantine is effectively creating a new magic item- one that would probably be priced very similarly to the traveler's anytool with the additional cost of 2 pounds of adamantine. I don't know if that's legal in PFS, but I'd guess not. The original poster already mentioned the likely price difference in the event it were allowed.
I doubt making an immovable rod out of adamantine would prove useful, as its effects seem to be more magical in nature and not dependent on hardness or the ability to bypass hardness.
What I was thinking was making a improvised weapon fighter who uses immovable rods as his improvised weapons.
Why not use a Endless Bandolier? It would use the chest slot, it has extra-dimensional spaces for your wands with the downside being a move action that provokes AoO. Not the optimal choice but could work. And its only 1500 gp.
Don't discount Intensified Spell Feat at higher levels. Increases your damage on any level dependent damage dice spells you have at only a +1 SL increase.
Once you are able to, a Swarmbane Clasp is a must for dealing with swarms.
Swarmbane Clasp:

An ancient fossilized insect lies trapped within this ornate amber clasp, impaled by the long golden pin that fastens the wearer’s cloak. The wearer’s weapons, unarmed attacks, and natural attacks deal full damage to swarms, regardless of the swarm’s immunity to weapon damage (if any, although damage reduction applies as normal). If the wearer is damaged by a swarm, she automatically succeeds on her saving throw
against the swarm’s distraction ability.

Andre, I was thinking 50% each. Why would this be a bad idea? I was thinking either Drow male/female got exiled, they went to the surface and either got badly hurt or found male/female elf who was hurt and well.. birds and bee's stuff.. elf drow.
Magehunter. I looked for dusk elf and didn't find it then realized you meant taking elf subtypes. Thanks
By the rules, it automatically matches your alignment per page 48 ultimate magic sidebar.
"A black blade always has the same alignment as its wielder and
even changes its alignment if its wielder does"
Now depending on your alignment, there's not much that can turn your BB against you. About the only situation I can think of off the top of my head is either killing an NPC or not killing an NPC. If you are good, then you two might argue not to kill or if evil to kill.
One thing no one has mentioned on this castle is that it could have already existed but lay empty due to death/betrayal of the noble living there and the crown hasn't granted anyone title to it. The Deck of Many Things grants you title to it and so, once you turn in the title, the crown will see you as a descendent of the previous lord. Plenty of intrigue rp'ing here.
If its in an unpopulated area, then it's likely to be infested with bandits, critters, etc ... and must be cleared out.
I agree with above posters that you need to discuss this with the GM as well as the rest of the party. A castle or house is a very good way to have a base of operations. And eventually, someone will create circle of teleportations to go to different places on the planet for quick travel.
Can I use all the points from this spell on the Flight evolution?
I would say no. You would have to take 2 evolutions.
Explanation:
In the description of the evolution it says "For 2 additional evolution points".
Cite the Bite evolution
Bite (Ex): An eidolon’s maw is full of razor-sharp teeth, giving it a bite attack. This attack is a primary attack. The bite deals 1d6 points of damage (1d8 if Large, 2d6 if Huge). If the eidolon already has a bite attack, this evolution allows it to deal 1-1/2 times its Strength modifier on damage rolls made with its bite.
So, you could use it to take the Bite evolution as 2 evolutions but not fly.
Of course, GM fiat rules.
As for using it to make a magic item, and it's not used in any other magic item already, using the magic item creation guide in the core book page 549. Then submit for GM approval.
I have been thinking about alternative uses for an Eidolon besides combat or as a mount and through my research at the Paizo site as well as other venues I haven't found any way to allow for an Eidolon to be of use in other capacities. In the Super Genius Games - Pathfinder Role Playing Game Accessory - Advanced Options Extra Evolutions, there is a 2 point Evolution called Metamorph that allows changing an Eidolons base form, but that doesn't do what I had originally wanted. So, I have rewritten the Large Evolution to accommodate for some new uses for the Eidolon. As it says in the Large Evolution, the Eidolon must be medium to take the Large Evolution. My rewrite would take into consideration a small Eidolon as a Summoner might choose small in his/her initial creation. I personally, would stay with a medium Eidolon for simplicity but ultimately, the choice is up to the player/Summoner to decide. The costs are the same regardless of size and are cumulative. My thought would be to create an Eidolon that could change from a Medium base size to Large for combat then to Tiny so I can carry him into taverns and shops. Something you can't do with a Large Quadruped Eidolon. Secondly, as stated in the original text (Advanced Players Guide page 59) "If this choice is made, the eidolon can be made Medium whenever the Summoner can change the eidolon’s evolution pool (which causes it to lose these modifiers for being Small). "I include three new Evolutions to supplement the Size Increase/Decrease Evolution with the following:
1 point Evolution
Shifter I (Ex): The Eidolon can as a Standard action, change it's size by one size category depending on the Size Increase/Decrease Evolution taken. The Summoner must be at least 8th level to select this Evolution.
2 Point Evolution
Shifter II (Ex): The Eidolon can as a Standard action, change it's size by two size categories depending on the Size Increase/Decrease Evolution taken. The Summoner must be at least 11th level to select this Evolution.
3 Point Evolution
Shifter III (Ex): The Eidolon can as a Standard action, change it's size by three size categories depending on the Size Increase/Decrease Evolution taken. The Summoner must be at least 14th level to select this Evolution.
4 Point Evolution
Size Increase/Decrease (Ex): An eidolon grows or shrinks in size, becoming one size larger or smaller per the Summoners wishes. The Summoner must be at least 8th level before selecting this evolution.
If 6 additional evolution points are spent, the eidolon instead becomes an additional size that stacks with the initial size purchased. The Summoner must be at least 13th level before selecting this option. The ability increase evolution costs twice as much (4 evolution points) when adding to the Strength or Constitution scores of a Large or Huge eidolon But does not change if reducing to small or tiny.
This Evolution may be taken multiple times for a total of 2 increases and 2 decreases to allow size changes from Tiny - Huge. If a Summoner would want all the changes from tiny to huge would cost him/her 10 points for large and huge, and 10 points for small and tiny.
The following chart shows the effective changes in sizes from Tiny to Huge with a base size of Medium. Adjust accordingly for your Eidolons size.
Huge
+16 bonus to Strength
+8 bonus to Constitution
+5 bonus to its natural armor
–4 penalty to its Dexterity
–2 size penalty to its AC
-2 to attack rolls
+2 bonus to its CMB and CMD
+10-foot reach
–4 penalty on Fly skill checks
–8 penalty on Stealth skill checks
If the eidolon has the biped base form, its reach increases to 15 feet (10 feet for all other base forms).
Plus any Reach evolutions purchased.
Large
+8 bonus to Strength
+4 bonus to Constitution
+2 bonus to its natural armor
–2 penalty to its Dexterity
–1 size penalty to its AC
-1 to attack rolls
+1 bonus to its CMB and CMD
–2 penalty on Fly skill checks
–4 penalty on Stealth skill checks
If the eidolon has the biped base form, it also gains 10- foot reach. Plus any Reach evolutions purchased.
Medium
As base medium sized creature
Small
–4 penalty to Strength
–2 penalty to Constitution
-1 Bonus to Natural Armor (Minimum 0)
+2 bonus to Dexterity score
+1 size bonus to AC
+1 to attack rolls
–1 penalty to CMB and CMD scores
+2 bonus on its Fly skill checks
+4 bonus on its Stealth skill checks
Reduce the damage of all of its attacks by one step (1d6 becomes 1d4, 1d4 becomes 1d3).
Tiny
–8 penalty to Strength
–4 penalty to Constitution
-2 Bonus to Natural Armor (Minimum 0)
+4 bonus to Dexterity score
+2 size bonus to AC
+2 to attack rolls
–2 penalty to CMB and CMD scores
+4 bonus on its Fly skill checks
+8 bonus on its Stealth skill checks
Reduce the damage of all of its attacks by one step (1d6 becomes 1d4, 1d4 becomes 1d3).
A tiny creature has a space of 2-1/2 feet and a natural reach of 0 feet (meaning that it must enter an opponent’s square to attack). If the Eidolon has the Reach Evolution, this adds to the reach of a tiny Eidolon. Meaning a +5 Reach would allow a tiny Eidolon to threaten and attack the squares around it without having to move into the opponents square.
Prices are calculated the most efficient way for you. It's simply the way it has always been done.
It doesn't matter which effect is 'first'. the +50% is the cost for the one effect to work with the other. Naturally, you want to pay it on the cheaper effect.
==Aelryinth
I'm not understanding the logic here. Let me try to show it in the way I understand it. Whether its efficient/cost effective for me or not. I would have thought it was a linear - logical step to take whatever base item regardless of what it is or its cost then add the next effect + 50%.
example
Base Item
I found an Amulet of Natural Protection +1 at level 2, it takes up the neck slot. At 3rd level I found enough coinage to want to add the effects of Golembane Scarab which is a broach but takes the neck slot. I pay the 2,500 gp + 1,250 gp for stacking.
Its a linear - logical progression.
Either way, I would need the reference of where its stated in the books.
Robe of the Archmagi 75,000
add effects of Otherworldly Kimono: 67,000 + 33,500 (50% for stacking)
Shoga...so the stats for the robe would be:
+5 Bonus to AC
+8 Resistance Bonus on all savings throws
Spell Resistance 18
+6 Bonus (+8 with animal thingy) on Caster Level checks
...I just want to make sure I am reading this right.
Sorry, I have limited access to the internet so I am not able to respond very quick. Unfortunately, I don't think the resistances stack but heres the rundown:
+5 armor bonus to AC
Spell resistance 18
+4 resistance bonus on all saving throws
+2 enhancement bonus on caster level checks made to overcome spell resistance
+4 bonus on all caster level checks
"Trap Victim"( See Otherworldly Kimono)
Still a very effective combination. SR is a bit low but it could still save you. The bonus's on CL checks are the main attraction. Add Piercing Spell Feat to a spell and the enemy's SR will not protect them.

Total = 149,750 gp
Your Ring of Wiz 3 and Amulet are priced wrong.
The most expensive item is always the BASE item. So, it would be Ring of wiz 3, 70 k, + Ring of Prot+5 (50k+25k), which saves you 10k, and
Amulet of Nat Armor +5, 50k, + Magecraft (20k+10k) which saves you another 15k.
==Aelryinth
Please, reference where it states that the most expensive item is always first.
Please, tell me that if I bought the Robe of components for 5,000 gp first but later I wanted to add the effects of Otherworldly Kimono, I would have to have them make me a different robe/kimono then add effects of the robe of components to it. Seems like it would be more expensive in the long run.

I would say he was cursed and all his stats were reduced to less than 10, but he would have Fast healing 5. He also would have forgotten he knows how to use any weapon or armor. His initial awakening would be in a pacifistic temple where any conflict goes against the temple. He has no knowledge of how he came there and the monk/priests just say he showed up one day without any knowledge of who he was.
He has lived at the temple for a year, still without knowledge of who he is when the temple is attacked to find him. But he wants to honor the temple and runs away so as not to cause conflict.

This implement at first seems to be nothing but a 12-inch iron bar
lined with small plates and spikes. It can be folded, twisted,
hinged, and bent, to form almost any known tool. Hammers,
shovels, even a block and tackle (without rope) are possible. It
can duplicate any tool the wielder can clearly visualize that
contains only limited moving parts, such as a pair of scissors, but
not a handloom. It cannot be used to replace missing or broken
parts of machines or vehicles unless a mundane tool would have
done the job just as well.
The any-tool counts as a set of masterwork artisan’s tools for
most Craft or Profession skills (although very specialist crafts
such as alchemy still require their own unique toolset). It is an
ineffective weapon, always counting as an improvised weapon
and never granting any masterwork bonus on attack rolls.

Craft Wondrous Item, major creation
Several threads have been made for the list of things that could be made but what was not defined was what the end product weighs or its overall size.
This Thread thread gives ideas on what could be made if the GM allows. I am looking to answer the following questions due to the limited description on the any-tool.
1) Will it create a tool that weighs more or less than the 2 lbs the any-tool starts out as?
2) Will it create a tool that's more than 12 inches in length/width/height?
Case in point, It says it would create a Block and Tackle (without rope). How much weight would it support? Would it create a tripod for the B&T if that's what you visualized?
If it could create a sledgehammer, could you specify an 8 lb sledgehammer?
If you wanted a 2 foot sled, would it do that? Or a wheelbarrow?
After revisiting the Keen special ability and noting its specified "does not stack with other" notation, makes me want to ask.
1) If I have the Keen special ability, can I use the Kensai Perfect Strike ability to increase the multiplier by one?
2) at 20th level, The Kensai cap ability increases the Critical Multiplier of my focus weapon by one. Would this preclude using the keen weapon quality and make the Kensai Perfect Strike ability to increase the multiplier useless?
