The plains druid ability, run like the wind, states

At 3rd level, a plains druid gains +10 feet to her land speed when wearing light or no armor and carrying a light load, and once per hour, she may run or charge at double the normal speed for 1 round. If riding her animal companion, it gains this ability instead.

What is the normal speed here?

I hope it isn't base land speed because this would be a needlessly confusing way to write out the same thing that the sprint rage power also does:

Once per rage, the barbariancan use a single full-round run action to move up to 6 times her speed or a single full-round charge action to move up to 3 times her speed.

At least on a charge, they would both add one more increment of your speed due to pathfinder doubling rules.

That makes me think that normal speed is the speed that you would otherwise charge. If that's the case, how does it interact with Cheetah's Sprint ?

If you take a charge or run action before the end of your turn, you can move a total distance of up to 10 times your base land speed. This adjustment is an enhancement bonus. There is no effect on other modes of movement, such as burrow, climb, fly, or swim. As with other effects that increase your speed, this spell affects your jumping distance.

If I cast Cheetah's Sprint and burned my use of Run Like the Wind for the hour, could I charge 20x my base land speed?

Dimensional Agility states that you can take your other actions as normal after casting dimension door.

Mythic dimension door says that you create a portal in your space that allows you and creatures you designate to use the portal to teleport to another specified space within range. You use the portal immediately when you cast it and anyone else can run through on their turn.

What if you use the portal to teleport ~100 feet away and then a couple round's later you run back to your portal and teleports back to the destination space? Could you continue to act?

Which one do you think:

A) mythic dimension door is a different spell and this doesn't work at all.

B) dimensional agility works on the initial teleport, but not subsequent portal uses since the feat says "when you cast dimension door" and not "when you teleport using dimension door" or similar.

C) dimensional agility works whenever you walk through your dimension door portal.

D) as above except with any dimension door portal that you are allowed to walk through.

E) dimensional agility works for every portal use on the round on which you cast the spell, but not later rounds.

F) other

I've been discussing with friends and we'd love to hear some other opinions.

I have been trying to refamiliarize myself with pathfinder recently and I came across the ricochet toss feat which reads

You are able to angle your thrown weapon attacks in such a way that the weapon ricochets and immediately returns to you.

Prerequisite(s): Quick Draw, base attack bonus +6, weapon training class feature with a ranged weapon.

Benefit(s): When you make a ranged attack with an appropriate thrown weapon, the weapon returns to your hand immediately after the attack is resolved.

This ability does not allow bullets, thrown ammunition such as darts or shuriken, or thrown splash weapons to return to you. Improvised thrown weapons don’t return to you unless you have the Throw Anything feat.

At first glance, it seems like there are only a handful of ranged thrown weapons that could benefit from this ability. I think I may have limited the feat too much though.

The feat doesn't say that you have to attack with a ranged weapon; it says you have to make a ranged attack with a thrown weapon. It also says that it has to be an appropriate weapon which I first took to be a frustratingly vague reference to the prerequisite weapon, but it defines appropriate weapon under the Weapon Master Feats header:

...you gain the benefits of a weapon mastery feat only while wielding a weapon that belongs to a fighter weapon group that you have selected with the fighter weapon training class feature (referred to hereafter as an “appropriate weapon”), and any effect of these feats related to attacks applies only to attacks from such weapons unless the feat specifies otherwise.

As I read it, the feat allows you to make a ranged attack with any weapon that you can throw that is part of the same weapon group as the ranged weapon that you used for the prerequisite (and possibly any other weapon group as long as you also chose a group that contains a ranged weapon.)

Example: You could take weapon training with the light blades group which includes the chakram, a ranged weapon. The group also include a dagger which is a melee weapon you can throw. Therefore you can use this feat with daggers.

Is this a valid reading? Am I missing something somewhere?

Thanks for your help

Say your party is fighting a rival band somewhere in the desert. You, a wizard, have cast Fool's Gold and the party rogue slipped one of the coins into the enemy cleric's pocket. In the middle of the fight a sand storm kicks up and you realize you'll have to work together to escape so you call a truce.

You cast shadow evocation in the form of a tiny hut. The cleric is suspicious of this and upon interacting with the structure fails their will save for Fool's gold and their will save to disbelieve the illusion. Because they have failed the second save while under the effect of fool's gold, the duration of the illusion is doubled for them only. What happens when the duration runs out for everyone else, but not the cleric?

Does the cleric sit contentedly in a hut that exists only for them while everyone else scrambles for cover? Does the cleric think they are in a shelter that no longer exists and get buried in the sand? Does the cleric's stalwart belief in the illusory wall some how allow it to protect others within its walls even though it has ceased to exist for them? Does the partially real shadiw hut offer no protection at all to anyone?
