Mirror Universe Reiko, Assassin Aspirant:
Mirror Universe Iconic Reiko CR 3
----- Defense -----
----- Offense -----
----- Tactics -----
During Combat Reiko maneuvers herself to make use of her sneak attacks, either feinting an opponent within 5 feet or using allies to flank. Reiko excels at fighting in a defensive stance, and always uses Combat Expertise. She tries to single out enemies that seem to have weak a fortitude, such as spell casters, first to make her poisons have maximum effect. If cornered, Reiko will use vanishing trick and her acrobatics skill to escape. Morale Reiko knows that a quick success means less chance of discovery. Reiko will attempt to kill foes quickly but does not hesitate to use her last vanishing trick to escape if she feels that the battle will result in her capture or if faced with an unwinnable situation. ----- Statistics -----
Backstory (Adapted from PFS Pregenerated Character Sheet):
Reiko’s mother had no wish for her only daughter to follow the path of a ninja, but Reiko was pulled into it after their home was overrun. Her mother was brutally murdered before her and she was taken by a clan of bandits. After surviving for several torturous years in servitude she witnessed the bandits mercilessly slaughtered by ninja after the bandit leader had begun demanding tribute from the local area and disrupting trade. Driven by the fear of the possibility of becoming a victim again, Reiko has devoted herself to learning the killing arts that she saw that night. By using the ways of subtlety and disguise, she has set her eyes on becoming the most accomplished assassin in the Inner Sea.

Very interesting, I might have to find a group for my Venture-Captain Holy Vindicator. ** spoiler omitted **That's not entirely true K-Ris. Mickey never signed a contract with any devil or demon. :P True, Mickey's caravan visiting once in a while to his hidden Lodge in Dalun is probably the only friendly face he sees while trying to search for a way to deal with Fey's End and prevent the twisting of the Fey who raised him.
Why a 13 point buy on the pregenerated human spell-casting villains (cleric, inquisitor) when the non-humans and human fighter got 15 point buys? (I was assuming their floating +2 to a stat was put in their highest stat when checking the point buys).
I was wondering if the items in the subject order will be shipped with my January subscription. The order has been pending and the items not in my sidecart since the order was submitted.
Eastern Weapons - Ultimate Combat
Armor & Shields Table - Ultimate Equipment
I know that Ultimate Equipment doesn't have an errata or a more recent printing, but having the same equipment listed at different prices is strange, especially since most people will check the Ultimate Equipment book/pages prior to doing a search that would show the Ultimate Combat results.
This is a neat concept, I already had theory crafted up a thrower that throws weapons (I was thinking of throwing javelins, Greataxes, or something similar, but throwing enemies sounds so much more fun). Standard ranged feats will help (point-blank, precise, deadly aim) Two-handed thrower and quick draw could help you throw the people you have grappled (brawler two weapon fighting to grapple and then throw? seems fun) Charging hurler - really unload your enemy into his bro Perfect Style (Unfolding Wind) & Unfolding Wind Strike (get a ki pool and then double your range increment of thrown weapons, maybe you can make the people you are throwing returning or seeking with the use of ki? probably will need a laid back GM to make the returning work, but would be hilarious the first time you do it)
Just as a note, I did not read any of the prior posts in this tread, only the thread title. Yes you are being a dick, no the paladin should not fall. (Unless the paladin lit an orphanage on fire or signed away his free will for wishes to a devil on a contract he was allowed to read prior to his signing and ignored the warning by his Phylactery of Faithfulness that you gave him after the 1st 'boss' encounter at 1st level, or similar unambiguously heinous and not considerable marginally evil act, then yes you can make him fall, but at that point the paladin already made the conscious decision to and wanted to fall)
There are multiple smalls in the Occult Iconics (Yoon, Meligaster) so it might be possible if WizKids makes enough money on set 6.
How do you get Weapon Focus at level 1? Monks have a 0 BAB at level 1. If you mean an Unchained Monk, archetypes aren't legal for PFS.
WHAT? WHY? When this 0 level spell exists (WHICH IS FROM THE SAME BOOK /mindboggle):
I really don't see why the Decemvirate hasn't just made a printing press with this spell in it and permanency to make some sort of magical copying machine. It would have to save them time and money. Back on topic:
While I like the cover, he rolled an 18 (the side parallel with the table).

Why the watermarks?
Any update on this?
I have still yet to get my Dungeons Deep case. I got the Gargantuan Red Dragon, and the Adventure Path #94, but the UPS tracking number I was given for the case still shows as not yet shipped.
So, is there a FAQ planned to explain which existing archetypes are compatible with the unchained classes? If no, will there be any player companions that add archetypes or convert existing archetypes to the unchained classes (similar to occult origins, advanced class origins, etc.)?
Gray Warden, you have a well written thread here and I hope that it receives a FAQ or at least an answer in thread. I have a PFS Tiefling Grenadier Alchemist 3, and I apply my alchemical mixtures to arrows or if the enemy has high armor/low touch, but is out of bomb range or I am out of bombs, apply mixtures to dye arrows, no 1d8 damage but is against touch AC at longbow ranges.
Yeah you can use them for that module, but they have 15 point buys and are level 1. The time where the 15 point buy is most disadvantageous is at level 1. I played as the oracle the one time I used a pregen of the two times I have played it and realized late that she has an 8 con and would go unconscious (and probably die from bleeding out) after tripping on a rock. That being said, I would love to see all of the APG classes as pregens because not enough people play cavaliers or inquisitors, and almost every oracle I see is of the life mystery. Seeing Balazar and Padrig as an unchained pregen and maybe getting people to try out different classes would be really awesome. You get a great feeling when a new player describes what they want their character to be/do and you hand them a pregen to try out for their first or second game and they are excited after the game because the core of the class is exactly what they wanted and they can fine tune the parts they want to change/did not like or understand.
All of the spaces that I GM or play PFS are shared spaces, so they too have problems with noise. Some days are better than others, but cons are especially bad (sharing a large room with many other games) and I end up shouting for hours on end to make sure my players can understand everything in the scenario. A full bag of cough drops and several bottles of water are standard equipment for myself now.
I'm posting to get in before all the milk is gone from the fridge. I get why they wanted this to go live as soon as the book was released. I think most (probably would never be all when removing/limiting options are involved) of the issues would have been avoided if this post went up next Monday or was a special post later this week (Wednesday night or Thursday morning) after the book was on sale to the general public as a pdf at the least.
Order 3458156 has been pending since 4/10/15, and the order states that the payment authorization expires 4/17/15.
LN or LE Inquisitor of Abadar (Infiltrator Archetype) Domains: (There seem to be a few that would work)Conversion Inquisition (Get those deadbeats to be upstanding citizens who always pay their taxes early!) Heresy Inquisition (Tax Havens?!?! NOT IN MY GOLARION!) Inevitable (Death & Taxes) Law (Maybe also pick up Profession: Barrister and go tax lawyer) Order Inquisition (You always count EVERY LAST COIN) Recovery Inquisition (Audit & Repossess) Reformation Inquisition (Root out the corrupt tax collectors who skim off the top!)
I agree, I would add up all the damage and apply the DR as per Clustered Shots. The adamantine bullet would all go through, but the use of normal bullets would negate the usefulness of the adamantine bullet. If the creature had hardness instead of DR, you would apply the full damage from the adamantine bullet and calculate damage for each normal bullet minus the hardness individually, Clustered Shots doesn't help against hardness, just DR. The way I see it, the feat allows you to shoot arrows/bullets/bolts in a tight formation to overcome DR, it doesn't let you pull off a robin hood arrow in arrow in arrow every time you shoot. The player was probably trying to do this to lower the cost of using adamantine bullets or more likely adamantine alchemical cartridges (paper). This is where that player should have paid 50g for an oil of abundant ammunition and not worry about shooting all his money into a robot.
Are the paladins stealing your milk without asking or something?
Is it that much of a problem of a level 10 (minimum level to do this) to be able to have a single 16d6 attack each round? Average damage of 56 for a whole round at level 10 seems fairly weak to me, when you could have barbarian/AC/eidolon pounce or arcane blasting/magus doing much more than this in a single round.
Seems like if I'm going style feats I might as well go MoMS just not sure what alternatives I would choose instead of the monk levels and those featsThe problem is that if you want to go barbarian, you can't go Master of Many Styles because of alignment restrictions. He plans on bypassing that restriction with taking the adopted trait to get the enlightened warrior aasimar trait which allows you to be a N or NG monk.
Wait, what? Can you point that rule out to me Skylancer? I seem to have completely missed it in here. :oI'm surprised that no one has brought up the fact that the claws are moot in the build no matter how you get them because claws are Bludgeoning and not Piercing and therefore don't get the Weapon Finesse from Swashbuckler. I also would like to know. I had read almost every post prior posting to my comment and just reread the thread now. I was still unable to find what allowed the swashbuckler's special weapon finesse (and thus agile, piranha strike, etc.) to claws. If the feral combat training feat was taken and applied to claws, I could see it work though.
You can take the enlightened warrior aasimar trait through adopted BigNorseWolf! Yay barbarian/monk! Ah, I didn't see this. An interesting trait.
How are you guys getting the claws to work with the mouser finesse? Claws are Bludgeoning and Slashing and not Piercing and therefore don't get the Weapon Finesse from Swashbuckler.

Stuff I always assumed that the Andoran art (this is the same image as in the ISWG for Andoran) was an homage to Liberty Leading the People, which is one of the more famous paintings of the personified godess of liberty/freedom (many of which were also used by colonial and post-revolutionary USA as well as revolutionary France).
You didn't take Stalwart prior to taking Improved Stalwart.
If you want to upgrade your Roc's armor more you could go with +1 Mithral Kikko Armor (for a large creature that is 5120g). Will give +6 armor bonus, +6 max dex, 0 armor penalty - so you don't ever need to spend feats on armor proficiency. The +1 Darkleaf Lamellar Leather is nice and cheap too tho.
A +3 Holy Adamantine weapon is about 53 000 gold pieces. Yeah, 53000gp of Awesome. Plus he is Oath of Vengance, that screams Holy Weapon (to me). He could easily not go to +3 (stay at +1 maybe), and just use smite evil or hope power attack helps get damage through DR. His weapon is already Adamantine so he doesn't need to worry about DR/adamantine or Hardness 20 or less. But With his Dex/Reach build, combat reflexes would be a great investment. He could even go for Fortuitous enhancement (+1 equiv.) from the Advanced Class Guide to make it so he can take a 2nd AoO on a target at a -5 to hit.
I didn't respond to the weapon question, because I don't really know the best answer. You'll be able to use Holy a lot more often, but it's an extra +1 enchantment over Bane, which is not an insignificant cost. I'd rather have a Holy weapon, if the cost isn't an issue. I'd rather have a holy weapon as well. The bane thing I would only do if my PC was running into a specific type of enemy over and over and developed a hatred. A +3 Holy Adamantine [Weapon] overcomes any DR other than non DR/Good alignments.
If you have over 10 LoH/day you could think about getting the Feat Ultimate Mercy. Basically it gives the party free raise deads at the end of any scenario. I also love the Deathless enhancement for Armor, Resist Energy 10 for any positive or negative energy damage to harm you, 25% chance to ignore any negative levels from an attack.
Depends on what your character has been encountering. Played in lots of scenarios with undead? Undead bane can be handy. Seen lots of demons/daemons/devils? Evil Outside bane probably will help out.
In addition to the excellent options provided by previous posters, consider these if you don't feel like you need the Silver Smite Bracers: Bracers of the Merciful Knight Source Ultimate Equipment pg. 272 Aura moderate conjuration; CL 9th Slot wrist; Price 15,600 gp; Weight 1 lb. Description:
I got my first case subscription, and though I like the sculpts and most of the painting (I agree with an earlier person that the face on the shifty noble woman was lacking), all of my City Watch Snipers (3) came with the bases separated and Haughty Avengers (3) came with their right arms detached from their bodies. I think I like the 55 piece sets better, as like Skeld and others described their cases, there were tons of repeats (got 4~6 of many of the seemingly common mediums and larges). My favorites are the Hill Giant Chief and the Pazuzu (whenever my Tengu drinks an enlarge potion, this will be my go-to mini!).
I saw the change and was wondering the same thing as the OP. After reading the thread, I would lean towards grey area for RAW, but probably it is not Intended to work in the way strong monks might want it to. I have a slightly off-topic question that deals with Dragon Ferocity, if I were to use weapon finesse and have an agile AotMF and be in Dragon Style with Dragon Ferocity would I be correct in doing x2 Dex for the first attack and then x1.5 Dex for any other attack, as the agile quality uses Dex in place of Str?
Thanks, so I'll definitely save my idea for a home game then.
I'm not sure in that blog post where anyone definitively says that animals can't use weapons. I know that James Jacobs does say that he doesn't like animals being smart, but nothing about animals not using weapons. Jason Bulmahn seems to say that it is up to GMs to rule whether it is allowed or not.

Did any of Paizo's designers or the PFS leadership make a ruling somewhere not in the blog or in the blog's discussion thread? I can understand not wanting ACs running around with swords or kukris, etc. I didn't think armor spikes would be necessarily different from an ACs nature of attacking, since it would be using it's body to attack. I think I'll shelve my idea for a home campaign that I could convince the GM to let me use though, as having my AC build nixed by a GMs decision would probably be maddening.
