Is there a way to WF any weapon I make with the ability? (Without using infinite feats?)
Can Weapon Focus be applied to the psychic weapon itself?
Why is the athame incompatible with the mindblade?
What if, we made a Magus with the Mindblade and the Spellblade archetypes? Advice forum, I CHOOSE YOU!
Thanks! :-)
So this'd be renaming the bat animal focus as the dolphin animal focus, for example? Indeed. :-)
Wow really?
Just looking for a brainstorm here...
Say, 3+ "handing" a greatsword/axe/club etc.
Do deities gain/have the domain powers of domains that they grant to worshipers? If so, where might I find text that states this? Thanks.
I have Excel 2010, but I'm trying to open CharacterForge, which looks like a visual basic application (unless I'm mistaken?) I already have and can open sCoreForge 7.4.0.1 but it does not have enough of the current character options to be useful to me I was hoping this was an updated program with more recent books included. Ah, the joys of miscommunication. :P Thanks anyways for the prompt response and polite talk. (Rare and beautiful things in these net wilds you know.) ;)

Synergex, can you provide more details? Error box comes up on launch with continue and quit options, when i press details, this is displayed: See the end of this message for details on invoking

Getting an unhandled exception whose details tell me a series of values is unrecognizable. Anyone have a fix?
Divine Scourge 2.0 (A.K.A. a little less gun.) Though all Paladins are called to the front lines of the battle against evil, there are some that are selected to be the white hot flame of justice and light that burns evil to nothing wherever they find it. These engines of Holy destruction are known as Divine Scourges. Judgment: At second level, a Divine Scourge gains the ability to call down judgment on their foes. This functions as the Inquisitor ability of the same name, and uses the character's Paladin level -1 as their Inquisitor level. This ability replaces lay on hands. Bonus Feat: At third level, and again every three levels after, the Divine Scourge may select a Bonus Feat from the following categories: Any combat feat or any feat that applies to the Smite Evil or Judgement abilities. The Divine Scourge must meet the prerequisites to select the feat. This ability replaces all mercies gained. Second Judgement: At ninth level, when using the Judgment ability, the Divine Scourge gains the benefit of two different judgments at the same time and may switch judgements as a swift action. This replaces the Channel Energy ability. [Notes:] A Pally that drops almost all of their healing for more smash evil's face off. Tell me what you think.[/Notes:]
The concept of the archetype was to trade utility/healing for more offense. Inspirations include: WoW Retribution Pally
And the idea isn't a more fighty inquisitor, then id just be making an inquisitor archetype. Mechanically (to me anyways) it's always seemed more sound to use preexisting items or abilities rather than having to design new ones, hence adding in other "divine offensive abilities".
Couple of corrections since the edit button is hiding from me... Judgement uses Paladin level -1 as Inquisitor level. (Intended to be offset by a level from Smite.) Gains Second Judgement at ninth level in place of Channel Energy. (Which means nothing at fourth level.)

The Divine Scourge must meet the prerequisites to select the feat and can not take feats for a feature they have not yet attained.
Bane: At sixth level, the Divine Scourge gains the ability to grant her weapon the Bane magical ability. This functions as the Inquisitor ability using the character's Paladin level as their Inquisitor level. This ability replaces the mercy gained at sixth level. Greater Bane: At twelfth level, the damage bonus of the Divine Scourge's Bane ability increases to 4d6. This ability replaces the mercy gained at twelfth level. Aura of Execution: At eighteenth level, the Divine Scourge may grant all allies within 10 ft the benefit of their Bane ability. Doing this uses two rounds for every rounds it is active. The Divine Scourge still gains the benefit of their Greater Bane ability while doing so. This ability replaces the mercy gained at eighteenth level.

Wherps, edited cause I got a quote tag unintentionally. You have no entry for weapons that have a threat range of 20 only. Also an "example" to demonstrate the process would be greatly appreciated.
Do you have any particular examples for what you're trying to do? 1. Any archetype of X whose vanilla has a feat/item/spell that says "Treat your X level as +# for purposes of Y ." (Too many of these to list) [And if vanilla gets them, why not show the same love for players that choose to archetype?]Essentially, it saves Paizo (and GM's) from having to house rule to cover every possible combo and just pares it down to, "This combo of X+Y is OP as ****! I'm going to have to say no." While also increasing (immensely) the diversity built into the game for character customization. (IMHO of course)
GM ALWAYS retains the right of refusal. Didn't actually think that needed to be said. :-) And yes, this primarily is intended to redress the gap between feats/spells/items options for "vanilla" classes and alternates/archetypes.
To whit:
OP, broken or busted? Tell me how or why.
This is specifically talking about eidolons and similar kinds of creatures (maybe the shadowdancer's shadow, maybe not...still musing on that one). Creatures summoned by spells and magic items are not an issue. This should probably be made very clear in the finished rules so by the book folks know it is intended to not remove the summon spells from being used while the phantom is out.
Isn't Unchained supposed to be the core update we've been talking about for awhile now?
Animal Soul: Your close bond with an animal allows you to use magic that targets animals on yourself.
Anyone else catch this gem?
Well I guess if I took the feat to treat myself as an animal companion I could...I dunno... teach myself skirmisher tricks?
Ok, since it says it otherwise functions as animal focus, do I get to apply a second focus since I dont have an animal companion? And how does second focus interact with feral focus? And what do I do with/about all the "bonus tricks" I get?
Is not worded very clearly, how exactly does this thing work compared to the normal Hunter's Animal Focus?
We just started down the path of the buccaneer. Our crew so far: Madiba Tamboekie, son of the famous Piratess The Blackthorn, this dark elf rogue manged to be the first to the top of the crows nest and has also managed the distinction of making Conchabar hostile on his first day of interaction. His heritage has been recognized by Cogward so far. Gunnar Flamebeard, this Dwarven terror of the Port Peril docks was jumped by no less than Mr Scourge himself and seven other pirates, three of which were not conscious when he was finally subdued. Having been made cook's mate by virtue of liping off to Mr Scourge right off the bat, has earned a reputation amongst the crew by decking the first three angry sailors who came to rope bash him after a horrendous first day meal. (Fishguts in a stupor, Scourge and the cooks mate roll twos for cooking...) The Brutal Pugilist Barbarian was quite pleased when the cronies decided to delay us in answering the morning bell on day three. Masteriastrix AKA "Bog", The black scaled, dragon crested kobold corsair has made fast friends with most of the crew in short order, attaining helpful status with Grok the second night and winning most of the rest not loyal to Harrigan and/or Scourge & Plugg in short order. After being unable to break him with rope hauling and message running, Scourge assigned him alone, to the bilges, hoping the spiders would do in the small warrior. When he emerged finishing off one of the spider's legs, the furious look on Scourge's face was priceless. RipJaw, No one knows what to make of this man. Having literally wandered ashore in Port Peril and then the Formidably Maid, he was having a lot of fun with the two bar wenches Scourge paid to drug his ale. He is probably the largest man on the Wormwood, but has a strange smile and very odd mannerisms. Which has the crew calling him "The Mutant". Having been recognized by Madiba as a Skinwalker (Seascarred), he has also shown Strix the ability to call waves at will and has helped the cook's mate by calling sea turtles to the ship after the Captain demanded them for dinner, earning him a gleefull lashing for shirking his duties to the carpenter. During the crony ambush, he headbutted two of them into unconsciousness, causing Gunnar to exclaim in surprise. (Apparently natural attacks are brutal in unarmed combat, even when taking the -4 to do nonlethal damage...) The Shark Shaman Druid has earned a bit of friendship amongst the crew by giving those he deems strong Goodberries to help them through. Where we are is evening on the fourth day...
Mutants and Masterminds did a good job of making D20 a classless system.
And here I thought my no free hands needed, self reloading as a free action hand crossbows were epic...
I have a solution... Animated Hand Crossbows They are more durable, can be magically enhanced as normal, and since they have hit dice, they can have feats! Like Rapid Reload.... Do I win this interwebzz?
Understood, thanks.
What, a guy can't give his opinion?
The largest problem I have expierienced with the magic item rules stems from Thier inception...
All this is fine if you are only ever gaming with your regular group, but as soon as you start mixing groups, which happened inevitably as the hobby's popularity grew, you ran into the problem of item x isn't good for group y. In order to address this, later designers attempted to standardize item creation by creating a system for making your own items. This was also fine, except that when the newer makers changed the magic items to match the new version of the game they made the same mistake the first designers did, they randomly assigned stats and abilities to the items arbitrarily, then made a system for creating your own items, instead of making the system, and then using that system to create the items. This to me is how you fix magic items, make a good, balanced system for creating your own items, then use that system to create all of your "standard" items which will give you a great starting point for gamers that want to go out of those bounds to judge the relative power of thier custom items and will ensure that an item made at table x is power level and cost balanced for any standard game when following the system. As a side note, spells have the exact same issues, and could be fixed the exact same way. But this is just my 19 years of gaming talking. As always: YMMV.
James, first I would like to take this opportunity to say two things... 1) Many thanks and heartfelt congratulations on a job well done to the paizo staff. Your game has allowed my group to get back into Dee Enn Dee by placating our primary GM and his 2nd was the best/only viable ed mindset. Again...
2) James is an AWESOME name. (IRL mine as well.) Finally, I am wondering If I could get a finer point of clarification on construct armor you answered WAAAY WAAAY back. Someone asked if an animated suit of +1 Full Plate Armor still counted as a breastplate when worn and that was the one part of the question you did not answer. If I might humbly get your clarification on said fine point? Thanks again.
If you add the Golem Armor modification, is the golem still active when the "wearer" is no longer inside of it? From what I've read, that would be the only time it is active as an independent entity as it pretty much "turns off" it's brain while being worn.
Some clarifying thoughts while I'm on lunch... Any ability which changes the form or shape of the construct that the wearer can not perform results in the removal of the construct. (If you want your mithral golem suit to squeeze through the space under that door, it goes, you don't.) While wearing the construct, you do not gain immunity to mind affecting spells or effects. (Your mind, not the machines. Also something you could magic item into the "suit".) The ACP and spell failure of Breastplate and Heavy Steel Shield are for constructs that do not already have these stats. If you animate an armor or shield, you get whatever ACP and spell failure it has. Any thoughts on this?
Here's my 2 cp... Use the normal construct stats as follows: Armor bonus from wearing is equal to the natural armor bonus of the construct.
Don't get the ability to not breathe, sleep or eat. (Unless you specifically add those enhancements in as additional magic items or already have them.) Remember that per the modification rules these things are moddable but at high prices which seems an ok balance point for the bonuses you are receiving. (And for non CIY types, having to put the Shield Guardian mod on is basically a requirement.) How's that grab you. IMHO, quick, easy and worth the mountain of gold you're going to plunk down. |
