Hey guys, another weird question for you all..

What damage should corpses of various sizes do when wielded/thrown?

For context, I'm playing an Orc who'll be Enlarged, with a total possible Strength score of 36 so he's got one hell of a throwing arm.. but I have no idea what kind of damage it could deal. He has Throw Anything at least...


Apologies if this is a silly question, but everything I've seen seems to devolve into arguments without a solid answer on this..

If something has Permanent Enlarge Person cast on it, and someone casts Reduce Person on them, does that just instantly dispel the Enlarge effect or does there need to be a caster/dispel check?

All it does is increase armor's hit points and hardness. You're right armour isn't an applicable target for Sunder maneuvers.

However in-game environmental situations would make it useful, like being stuck in a corrosive atmosphere (page 395), falling in a vat of acid, being in a structure that's FULLY on fire, etc.

Once Alien Archive comes out, might find the equivalent of a space rust monster or some other creature that likes destroying objects not normally targetable by Sunder rules.

For now, save the money or buy some other upgrade with it.

Excellent, thank you for confirming and clarifying. You've been exceptionally helpful. :D


Does anyone have an opinion or rules clarification? I'm anxious to figure it out before my game on Sunday, or at least know if there's no solid use for it as of yet.


All I can really add to this is:

A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.


Possibly a stupid question, but what exactly does this upgrade do? From what I can tell, the Sunder combat manoeuvre can only target held weapons/items or easily accessible weapons/items. From my reading, you can't target armour with it. Is the sole use of this upgrade to improve your armour's ability to resist damage if you leave it unattended and a goblin sets about it with a monkey wrench?


True, the greed points are already accounted for, and as for the temple of Lamashtu, they're taking steps to brick that up. The Runewell itself is deactivated, and they asked the clerics in the Cathedral if it would be possible to arrange for the site to be cleansed/consecrated/purified, and have sent off to Magnimar for assistance in that regard.

I wasn't sure if he was talking about "greedy" in some manner related to being from Mendev, I know only a little about that area, so wasn't sure if there was something I should research/be aware of.

Also, a Paladin from Mendev? Kind of greedy for a Paladin. Keep an eye on this one.

Mind if I ask what you mean by this?

As for the rest, thank you all for weighing in, it seems my player(s) have overestimated their ability to skyrim-loot and sell to factions. :P


Cheers for the clarification guys!


Cheers for the replies. They're in book 1, at present.

Chiefly the player was interested in trying to sell the statue of the Runelord, and the levitation chamber/the metals coating the walls in that room, if they can be identified (as a side-note, are they identified elsewhere or is that material purely for atmosphere? My players are adamant that it must be some variety of evil-aligned metal...).

The PC is broadly aware of the Society, as he tied it in a little with his history. He's a Paladin from Mendev, and wrote a fair bit of background about his character's experience with that region/the Worldwound, which included a part about dealing with the Society's agents once or twice.


One of my players, having defeated the resident boss in the area, has just declared intent to contact the Pathfinder society to try and sell them the ruins, including the levitation chamber and the statues held within the complex. Has anyone else dealt with this and/or what would others do/suggest in handling this situation?


We've been discussing multiclass combinations, and we found the part that you can only take either the base class or the unchained, and ninja operates the same way, but has it been clarified/written elsewhere that the combinations of UC Rogue and Ninja are forbidden? I suspect it is the case, but it's always worth checking.


Awesome. Once again thank you very much for this.

I'm new to the forums, so I'm unsure if there's anything equivalent to "reputation" in any numerical form, but I've favourited your post. You've been exceptionally helpful!


Apologies for the delay in responding, thank you very much for the response. How does the Dire template interact with Animal Companions? Are templates allowed (generally) or is it a different process/adjustment I'd have to go through/think about?


I've got a player who's a huge fan of Doedicurus, and having read up on them I tried to find anything Pathfinder related for them. Unfortunately, all I found was people discussing their hopes of them appearing in upcoming Bestiaries. Has there been any official or unofficial bestiary entries created for them up to this point?
