Soul Thief's page

Started this mod. The Influence system in war of the crown seemed to run very well, here it just feels tacked on a bit and doesn't really add much, except to not have 55 pages of hack and slash.

Yeah I was kinda thinking the same thing. There’s a pretty solid chance I’m going to skip that part if I can, the PCs haven’t had any build up for this social scenario, these NPCs don’t mean anything to them and they’ve likely never even heard their names. To be honest I was confused when I read the into to this part, I thought the Chernesardo Rangers *were* the military, so to find out that they aren’t the military and that this whole time there’s been a battle raging though the country side unnoticed was a little surprising.

For anyone using a crossbow I would always recommend 5 levels of bolt ace. You really cant beat dex to damage with a crossbow, its the only way you will be able to keep up with regular bow users since you cant use your str to damage.

So I looked this up and found a bunch of posts from 2014 arguing back and forth on this topic. What happens when the swashbuckler'a enemy rolls a natural 20 vs a parry? What happens when the swashbuckler rolls a natural 20 to parry? What happens when they both roll natural 20s?

Thanks Bunches

Can an Unchained Rogue take the Ninja Trick rogue talent to get to the Ninja Trick list, then take the ninja trick: Rogue Talent to get to the original Rogue talents? So like let's say I'm an Unchained Rogue grabbing ninja trick --> rogue talent --> offensive defense.

Is this allowed? I doubt it but figured I'd give it a go.

Thanks for clearing that up Gisher.

Okay, so I know that a black blade can't be enchanted like a normal weapon, but I was wondering if you could pay to increase its intelligent qualities. For example, on a regualr intelligent item I can pay to give it blindsense and increase its senses to 60 feet. Can I do this to the black blade?

Also, do intelligent items sleep?

There has been errata, the feat now does work with light weapons. However, you cannot have anything else at all in your other hand except a buckler when using the feat. You also are forbidden from using flurry of blows or two-weapon fighting.

Thanks :-)

Okay, so here is what I want to do. I want to get dex to damage with my dagger. My confusion comes from the fact that my book doesn't mention light weapons in the feat, while both the Archives of Nethys and the PFSRD say it does. I was wondering if their had been a rule change or if these websites are just plain wrong. This is a pfs character so I need consistency not just a ruling from one GM.

Thanks Bunches

Hey! So I'm building a swashbuckler arcanist for my campaign and I was wondering if these two abilities could be used together.

Dimensional Slide
The arcanist can expend 1 point from her arcane reservoir to create a dimensional crack that she can step through to reach another location. This ability is used as part of a move action or withdraw action, allowing her to move up to 10 feet per arcanist level to any location she can see. This counts as 5 feet of movement. She can only use this ability once per round. She does not provoke attacks of opportunity when moving in this way, but any other movement she attempts as part of her move action provokes as normal.

Dodging Panache
Dodging Panache (Ex): At 1st level, when an opponent attempts a melee attack against the swashbuckler, the swashbuckler can as an immediate action spend 1 panache point to move 5 feet; doing so grants the swashbuckler a dodge bonus to AC equal to her Charisma modifier (minimum 0) against the triggering attack. This movement doesn't negate the attack, which is still resolved as if the swashbuckler had not moved from the original square. This movement is not a 5-foot step; it provokes attacks of opportunity from creatures other than the one who triggered this deed. The swashbuckler can only perform this deed while wearing light or no armor, and while carrying no heavier than a light load.

Thanks Bunches

Another important consideration is that you are a swashbuckler. You're ability to regenerate panache is directly tied to reducing an opponent to 0 hp or less, or scoring a critical hit.

Because you have abilities that are tied to getting critical hits, it is likely better for you to go with a broader crit range weapon, despite the mathematical superiority of the falcata at higher levels with higher static damage bonuses. Also keep in mind that precise strike damage isn't multiplied on a critical, which is likely you're largest source of damage. So since it's not getting multiplied, a critical strike isn't nearly as strong for you in terms of the damage increase. It's mostly about scoring a crit for more panache so you can continue to use your nifty abilities.

Good point. I was a little on the edge there for a moment but that pushed me over, Thanks mate looks like its a rapier build for me. This works out well because from what I can tell the rapier build also gets static damage much quicker too

Thanks so much guys, sorry about the weird location for this post, I'm still getting used to the messageboard system and all.

I have a pair of swashbuckler builds in mind, the details aren't too important to the main dilemma: one wields a falcata and one wields a rapier.

at level five the Falcata build will look like this
Falcata +14 (1d8 +13/17-20/x3)

and at the same level the Rapier build will look like this
Rapier +12 (1d6 +18/15-20/x2)

The Falcata will hit harder when it crits but the rapier will crit more often. I don't know which will net more damage.

Thanks Bunches

Hi! Ive been looking for a character sheet/pdf that I can edit and use. My handwriting is kinda messy and I like having character sheets typed. I have a very important issue though. Every character sheet website I have visited the character sheets do not understand the concept of a negative number. I have an oracle blaster with five str, and I would like that represented on a character sheet. The ever so popular Necros sheets do not fix this problem, and I dislike that I have to print 9 pages to use only three. Is there anyone who knows a sheet or website that I can go to and punch in negative numbers?

Thanks mate, helps clear that up :-)

Ello, I was hoping somebody could help me out with this. I want to know if I can take two archetypes at the same time on the same level. I understand that you can take two archetypes in the same class as long as they don't conflict but I wanted to know if I could take two archetypes of the same class in the same level. For example a first level cross blooded tattooed sorcerer.

Alright, thanks, I was afraid that is would be banned all together. Having a -5 at first level seems pretty ugly. I'll have to look into my spell lists to see if there is anything I can do to try to off set that.

Hey, this is my first summoner and I had a question about Eidolons claw attacks and weapons in Pathfinder Society

My eidolon is going to look like a centaur but replace the horse with a lion.
First level I'm taking the extra evolution feat that's how I'll get four evolution points.

My eidolon is a quadruped
Base evolutions:
Bite
Limbs (legs) x2
Evolutions
claws (for the legs) 1 point
Improved damage (claws) 1 point
Limbs (arms) 2 points
Eidolon feat
Martial weapon proficiency (Great sword)

My question is whether this is legal, my friend said that claws and weapons can't be used together on a full attack. Ive yet to find any ruling confirming this so I ask you.

Can I, on a full attack, do
1 great sword
2 claws
1 bite

I'm following the max attacks rule because it strictly for natural attacks. But I wanted to know if this was society legal.
