Sorek nods his head as Grel makes a good point That is wise and cautious. My concern is that the secret door is likely the temple's treasury, maybe stocked with items that the fleeing priests could return for while we rest and recover. I was able to handle the master spectre (barely lol) if the lesser spectres fled they must be significantly weaker and I feel its worth the risk. I'm the one best equipped to fight them as their touch doesn't easily bypass my defenses. Let me and our CLeric who can channel against them inspect the secret door and if it leads to a long passageway we'll save it for later...But if it leads to a room that I suspect may be the temple treasury...Let me inspect it before we leave this place. We can examine the chests on the way out regardless

Elephant in the Room pathfinder feat taxes Overview:
The Elephant in the Room: Feat Taxes in
Pathfinder
By all metrics, Pathfinder is the most satisfying penand-paper game I’ve ever played. The class balance feels
good, the math isn’t overwhelming, and the community
support is outstanding. However, it suffers from
one syndrome that haunts the creation of every new
character: feat taxes.
Many veteran players lament that you need three feats
to go to the bathroom in Pathfinder. It’s a cheeky musing,
but one rooted in truth. Pathfinder’s feats are arranged in
sprawling tiers, often requiring an investment of three or
more feats to unlock a single more advanced one. While
it’s satisfying to work towards a goal, many rungs on the
feat ladder are considered either undesirable or overtly
mundane. These are feat taxes.
Below I’ve highlighted a number of revisions to
Pathfinder’s feat tree to help ease the situation. I’ve
focused mainly on combat feats, arguably the worst
offenders. Feel free to incorporate these changes into
your own house rules or make your own suggestions in
the comments.
Martial Mastery
Gone. Combat feats like Weapon Focus now apply to
weapon groups instead of a specific weapon by default.
Pathfinder frequently forces a player to invest heavily in
a single weapon. For instance, two-weapon fighting rogues are stuck with mirrored weapons so their Weapon Finesse
and Weapon Focus benefits apply to both their attacks.
Expanding these feats to cover the weapon groups mentioned
under the fighter’s Weapon Training would make things
much more flexible. We might finally see a samurai wielding
a daisho.
Weapon Finesse
Gone. The “light weapons” category has been renamed
to “finesse weapons.” Characters can choose to use either
their dexterity bonus or their strength bonus to hit with
these weapons, no feat required. “Finesse” is also now a
weapon attribute like “brace” or “trip,” allowing a weapon
in another category to be finessed (like the rapier).
Weapon Finesse is the ultimate feat tax. It’s begrudgingly
mandatory for most rogues, specifically two-weapon fighting
builds. I understand Paizo worries that dexterity might
become an uber stat, but weapon finesse still doesn’t grant
a damage bonus. It’s really the only thing rogue’s have to
compensate for their lackluster BAB.
Agile Maneuvers
Gone. A character adds their dexterity to the CMB if
they’re wielding a finesse weapon and their strength
otherwise.
This goes hand and hand with the previous change.
Making combat maneuvers more accessible will be a
recurring theme of this article.
Combat Expertise
Gone. Now simply a combat option for any class with
at least +1 BAB.
The most heinous feat tax next to Weapon Finesse.
Combat Expertise is taken to progress to better feats then
promptly forgotten about. I like it as an option, but it’s not
worth spending a feat on.
Improved Trip, Improved Disarm, Improved Dirty
Trick, Improved Feint, Improved Reposition,
Improved Steal
Gone. Replaced with Deft Maneuvers.
Deft Maneuvers
New. You do not provoke an attack of opportunity when
performing a trip, disarm, dirty trick, feint, reposition,
or steal combat maneuver. In addition, you receive a +2
bonus on checks with these combat maneuvers. Now a
prerequisite for the relevant greater combat maneuver
feats.
Why is it so hard to pull off combat maneuvers in this
game? It seems like you need three feats before you can
attempt to trip someone without impaling yourself on
your own polearm. Eliminating Combat Expertise as a
prerequisite and wrapping up all these improved combat
maneuver feats into a single package simplifies things. It
would prevent fighters from being stonewalled if a monster
is immune to their combat maneuver of choice and make
the feats much more attractive to feat-starved classes.
Power Attack
Gone. Now simply a combat option for any class with
at least +1 BAB.
Power Attack is too useful to be a feat. It’s the first feat
taken by any character with the strength and BAB to
abuse it and likely ranks as the single most popular feat in
Pathfinder. Turning it into a combat option available to
anyone with at least +1 BAB is a reasonable change and
still stalls caster and hybrid classes from grabbing specialized
combat feats too early.
Improved Bull Rush, Improved Drag, Improved
Overrun, Improved Sunder
Gone. Replaced with Powerful Maneuvers.
Powerful Maneuvers
New. You do not provoke an attack of opportunity
when performing a bull rush, drag, overrun, or sunder
combat maneuver. In addition, you receive a +2 bonus
on checks with these combat maneuvers. Now a
prerequisite for the relevant greater combat maneuver
feats.
The same deal as Deft Maneuvers. More combat
maneuvers at a lower feat investment is just a good idea
all around.
Point-Blank Shot
Gone. Precise Shot replaces it as a prerequisite for further
archery feats.
I like Point-Blank Shot, but Precise Shot is the real
breadwinner for any ranged build. It’s the one trick
every archer wants out of the gate and the one combat
feat many wizards and sorcerers would love to cherry pick
to aid their ray spells. The loss of Point-Blank Shot can
easily be compensated for by Weapon Focus or Weapon
Specialization, but it’s not like archery builds are hurting
anyhow
Deadly Aim
Gone. Now simply a combat option for any class with
at least +1 BAB.
Like Power Attack, Deadly Aim is another mandatory
feat that should be available to everyone. It takes a high
BAB to abuse Deadly Aim, so I’m not overly concerned
about the change throwing a wrench into class balance.
Mobility
Gone. Merged with Dodge.
Dodge
Revised. You gain a +1 dodge bonus to your AC. This
bonus increases to +4 against attacks of opportunity
caused when you move out of or within a threatened
tile. A condition that makes you lose your Dex bonus to
AC also makes you lose the benefits of this feat.
Spring Attack isn’t a great feat, but it lends itself to
interesting builds. Unfortunately, the prerequisites of Dodge
and Mobility are often too much for a player to stomach.
Merging these feats makes Spring Attack more accessible
and subsequently transforms two mediocre feats into a single
spectacular one.
Improved Two-Weapon Fighting
Gone. Merged with Greater Two-Weapon Fighting
Greater Two-Weapon Fighting
Revised. Prerequisites now Dex 17, Two-Weapon
Fighting, BAB +6. In addition to the standard single
extra attack you get with an off-hand weapon, you get a
second attack with it, albeit at a –5 penalty. Once your
BAB reaches +11, you also gain a third attack with your
off-hand weapon, albeit at a –10 penalty.
Two-weapon fighting isn’t as good as Paizo seems to think
it is. Pathfinder Society scenarios are seemingly designed to
prevent full-attacks; I’ve rarely encountered one without
difficult terrain, magical entanglement, or some other
battlefield hindrance. The massive feat investment only adds
insult to injury. Coupled with the Weapon Finesse change,
this feat merger puts two-weapon fighting more in line with
the generally much stronger two-handed weapon builds.

I was unclear about the Archons Aura of Menace vs Undead and whether it would help us vs these Spectres, so I did a little googling and this is what I found
TLDR... the Hounds Aura of Menace DC16 appears to be an expression of Holy power, not a fear affect and will help us vs the Spectres and everything else here within its radius

posting here to avoiding clogging up the gameplay thread...
Grelldar----"I don't think you do have a +1 from prayer, unless the opposing HP's prayer went down with him going down (and I don't think it should, it's not a concentration spell...). Something that I'm not sure you are taking into account - the hound archon's magic circle against evil 10', and the aura of menace..."
1.PRAYER
post where brvheart establishes the high priest is 30ft up in the air negating much of Grelldars bomb attack:
Fantora Ossman wrote:
The circles are the effects of Grelldar's bomb with the DC 20 will save (stuns for the green, confusion for the yellow.) The ones by the door aren't inside the blast radius. There's also a DC 16 (ref?) save for the High Priest for the tanglefoot bag effect.
Bastion wasn't following Grelldar into the room, he was just charging towards the space by the door where Grelldar used to be. The path drawn from where Bastion is now is the one that Grelldar took, so he does draw those two AOO that you rolled. Bastion is trying to engage the ones by the door rather than pass them.
Of course if I've got that wrong anyone who did something else should speak up. Hopefully that's making sense?
reflex: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 4 = 16
The priest is 30' in the air so this would mean only one priest would be in the radius.
reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Because the high priest was 30ft in the air at time of casting prayer none of our characters were impacted by Prayer, some of the priest/acolytyes benefited but we were not affected by that spell.
So Sorek has the beneficial Prayer giving him +1 w/o being affected by the negative Prayer.
2. Hounds MAGIC CIRCLE AGAINST EVIL
Sore is within the Hounds MCAE and therefore benefits from +2ac (deflection).
His posted ac vs incorporeal touch attacks was 26.
However, I forgot to update my stat bar to include the +1 from haste which brings his ac vs incorp touch up to 27.
And when within the Archons Circle giving +2deflection, which overrides his normal +1.....Bring Soreks ac vs incorp touch up to 28 when w/in 10ft of the Archon
Soreks ac vs touch breakdown
+7 wis
+2 dex
+1 dodge
+1 NA (does not apply)
+4 Mage Armor
+1 Insight buff for 2 min
+1 Haste
+1 deflection constant
=27
with Archon circle (+2 deflection)= 28
Soreks ac vs the Spectres touch is 28 and the attack MISSED.
Also it looks like they need to roll vs the Archons Aura of Menace

That is another 2 negative levels Sorek
Luckily Soreks current ac is 29 and vs incorp touch is 28 when with 10ft of the Archon and 28/27 when outside of that. See post in discussion.
I apologize for not updated my ac in the stat bar. I'd forgotten to add Haste and the Archons circle. There's a lot of math in pathfinder
@Lom I'd forgotten about all the nice things a Hound Archon brings to the table. Thanks for placing him near Sorek. He's made quite a difference

forgot to add +1 prayer damage to Soreks attacks
his attacks hit ac's 19,27,31. Assuming all those attacks hit total damage with prayer = (18+1+18+1+17+1) 56

Feeling the lifeforce drain out of him Sorek gets QUITE worried and becomes even MORE worried when he sees the arrival of the 3 more Spectres. I think we're overmatched here, the Ghost Touch AoMF that Sorek wanted would have evened things out. But without it...
A volley of arrows from Fantora comes screaming into the Spectre and Sorek sees a ray of hope hope the miss chance doesn't screw things up
Sorek desperately attacks the foul Spectre and then calls out to Lom asking urgently for help
Magic MISSILES LOM! needing to finish of his opponent before the other Spectres can join in

current incorporeal houserule gives a 50%miss chance but always full damage and no crits
does incorporeal have any impact beyond the normal houserule for Fantora firing into melee?
