k, so if you're a 9th lvl samurai each morning you start with 5 Resolve points. You can regain up to 3 points a day through Challenge ability. So you've actually got potentially 8 Resolve points a day.
Is that right?

Don't get me wrong, i love the concept, just want to make sure i'm not missing anything with the mechanics. If you can only recharge your Resolve points 3 times a day, then effectively you can only spend 3 Resolve points a day. Regardless of if you have a maximum of 5 per day.
One thing i don't get is if the only way you can get Resolve points is through the Challenge ability, why aren't they the same amount? At 9th lvl the samurai is allowed 5 Resolve points - but can only Challenge 3/day. Is this right?
Yeah, mostly what you'd expect from a Paladin. But #6 is a bit much. A tithe of 10% is adequate, IMO.
Hilarious, Now all I can think of is the uber Arch Mage flying around yelling "Bad Doggy, BAD!" as he's chase by a flying wolf with a pissed off halfling on the back. or Greater Dispel Magic.
Wouldn't it be: Melee longsword +8/+3 (1d8+8), claw +3 (1d4+4), bite +3 (1d4+4); or 2 claws +10, bite +10. Once you attack with a manufactured weapon, all natural attacks are considered secondary.
No. You have to actually throw a bead at the point of origin. You could throw it over however. *edit* In other words you have line of sight, but not line of effect.
He's a character alright, nearly got us killed umpteen times! And i swear he still has my flint and steel :/
Like Kyrt said, in 3.5 it specifically (Complete Arcane, IIRC) stated that volleys deal sneak attack once, but there's no mention so far from Paizo on this one. Per spell. It essentially said that in a volley of attacks only apply precision damage once.

To work out how high you jump, consult the high jump table. Say you move 10' then roll a 20 for your Acrobatics check. You'd jump 20' long and 5' high.
As for the question of if they can stay up and do watch, Sorcerers and Bards (AKA Spontaneous casters) still need 8 hours of rest +1 hour for every interruption as well. Technically they could sleep 4 hours, wake up for a watch shift and then sleep 5 (4+4+1=8) while the next watches are done, and spend the 15 minutes of concentration later in the day to get the spells back.And while elves only need to trance and not sleep (is that still in PF?), Elves sleep in Golarion.
What if there are multiple rays? Say, an Arcane Trickster who's under the effects of Greater Invisibility or acts in surprise round etc, does he add SA damage on every ray, or just once? Like Manyshot you only apply the precision damage once for that attack.
NorseWolf i think you meant Greater Grapple which allows you to grapple as a move action. But everything else i agree with.
Err, my bad. Got nothing against MMO's. OP, my mistake, but still, now you know you can get swarms of humans ;D
No. He would need to be here: X X P
or here with reach:
Mob Anatomy (Ex): A mob has no clear front or back and no discernible anatomy, so it is not subject to critical hits or sneak attacks. A mob cannot be flanked, tripped, grappled, or bull rushed. *edit* pretty much a swarm of humans.
Here's a question: if you have a touch spell held do you threaten and can you take AoO's?
i've never heard that rule before. if you go by that. then the table is completely useless and anything made of adamantine would always have a hardness of 20 and 40 hit points. there has to be a cohesion between the text and tables somewhere. i guess i'll just hope that a designer looks at it and comments. Wolf's right. Table over text. And i agree on slashing vs whip for sunder attempts. *edit* there is cohesion. Like Wolf said: Table 7-13 regards walls and other material where the thickness is quantifiable, ie. 2' wall etc. In all other cases, like Wolf said, Weapons and armor normally made of steel that are made of adamantine have Hardness 20 and one-third more hit points than normal.
1) Filth Fever's gone when you're raised. 2) The desc. of ability damage says 'the phrase equals or exceeds the ability score'. Which implies that you can take damage past 0. But there's no specific ruling for this unfortunately.
Man, that's the first time you've said something i don't agree with. We're talking about the Feral template, yeah? The one that for a +1 lvl adjustment gave you: Pounce; 2 claw attacks at 1d8!!; Rend; Darkvision; Damage Reduction AND fast healing that scaled with your lvl!!! For +1 LA? That's balanced...
Really? Dispel Magic: '...Targeted Dispel: One object, creature, or spell is the target of the dispel magic spell. You make one dispel check (1d20 + your caster level) and compare that to the spell with highest caster level (DC = 11 + the spell's caster level). If successful, that spell ends. If not, compare the same result to the spell with the next highest caster level. Repeat this process until you have dispelled one spell affecting the target, or you have failed to dispel every spell.
Just flank - that's +2. You're only suffering -2 for TWF. Breaks even. Re: 3.5: Yeah, fair enough, the rest of my post stands tho.
We know the answer to this is that the DC is the same for all the spells by a specific caster, but if there are 3 spells with DC 23 and the dispel check is 24, which spell gets dispelled? The lowest level spell? The spell with the lowest DC? I can't seem to find this answer in the dispel magic description. The spell dispels the highest level spell, as per the desc.
Tanis - how do rogues get pounce without massive multi-classing? 3.5 Complete Champion - 1st lvl Barbarian Lion Totem Variant. Or Claws of the Leopard from MiC.
More attacks = more sneak attack. Add the toothy 1/2 orc racial trait and you've got 3 attacks at 1st lvl. That's potentially 6d6 + whatever. Wizards will *never* beat Rogues at Stealth.
Agreed Lyrax. 1. Invisibility is moot when you get past lvl 10 and every random encounter and his dog has either: See Invisibility; Blindsight; Tremorsense; True Seeing etc. 2. UMD is more than just using a wand. You can emulate a class. So the Rogue can use a Holy Avenger or Monk's Robe for example. Think about the implications there. 3. Swords don't kill people Rogues w/TWF flanking with Sneak Attack kill people. There's a reason TWF Rogues w/Pounce are known as blenders. 4. including magic traps that protect that Wizard while s/he's sleeping.
DR does nothing against falling damage or structural collapse. Only attacks. It does work that way. First sentence of Damage Reduction says 'A creature with this special quality ignores damage from most weapons and natural attacks'.
considering that there is a hefty feat investment I also took it to mean that you can start and maintain in one round. I mean it requires that you start within 5 feet of the target. Fighters can full attack in that case doing way more damage. Sure I've got the guy pinned, but i'm giving myself 3 chances to fail. You only need to succeed once to keep them grappled.
With the +5 bns for grappling for 1 rnd, the +4 for the 2 feats, it's not just the creatures with low CMD that have to worry.
Nah, he was talking about a 3.5 feat Superior US that is freakin insane btw. *edit* and ask your DM if you can have the Monk's Robe back in the form of Monk's Belt as a Mawashi

Wasn't there a ruling from Jason or James that the Rend damage would apply to one of the attacks for the purposes of DR? So basically if the hit already took DR into account, the Rend was just extra damage. Yes. Yes there was.
Yes they stack. They're untyped penalties.
I doubt we'll get Jason to stop by and specify one way or the other, but the ability to use regular grapples as move actions is a killer with one of the PCs in my party. Once a creature is grappled there is very little they can do. Even demons and devils cannot escape (their teleport is spell-like, meaning a concentration check is needed). I threw a hezrou against a grappling build that should've slowed down the PC a little more, but he was able to grapple/pin in a single round. :( Examples of overpoweredness (is that a word?) like this are probably the most eloquent demonstration of why this shouldn't work.
Well, i think the phrasing impliedly does say that you can only maintain in subsequent rounds. RAI, my take. It doesn't actually say you have to wait, i agree. It was more the sequence of grappling and maintaining that gives me that impression. FAQ i guess, it is a little vague.
Here's why: "If you do not release the grapple, you must continue to make a check each round, as a standard action, to maintain the hold".
I'm pretty sure he said feral ppl not creatures. And it's broken. Badly.
I would get the animal at 8, but the shadow would be stronger when it comes the hp and being able to hit. But you would be weaker, but i suppose you can hide much better. I say stick with your base class - but if we were talking 3.5 my answer would be different.
A creature with natural attacks can instead attack with unarmed strikes or weapons, either solely or in conjunction with natural attacks. - if they don't possess Imp. Unarmed Strike unarmed strikes will provoke AoO's. - TWF penalties will usually apply, unless you only attack once in a round. - these attacks will go off your BAB and you can apply iterative attacks.
1) Monster races should be based off CR, not HD. Also, unless you guys are really experienced, i'd suggest you all start off with equal CR. And beware of 'progressive' templates (Half-Fiend/Celestial). 2) As it's a bonus it overlaps (does not stack). 3) The attributes do stack however. If you're a Half-Dragon/Human you get the normal attribute bonuses for 1/2dragon and the +2 to one attribute for being human.
I don't think this is right. GG allows you to maintain the grapple as a move action - not to initiate or improve the grapple to a pin. It's quite clear in its terminology - and maintain is only used in regards to once you are already grappling.
You don't need to maintain the grapple in the round that you initiate the grapple. If, in the round after you grapple em you do not release the grapple, you must continue to make a check each round, as a standard action, to maintain the hold. You maintain it the next round (as a move action), so you may pin *and* move them, for example. Or damage them twice with your unarmed damage.
Yes, the Eidolon can 'ferry' other creatures, and even objects. It says it functions as per DD, which states: Target: you and touched objects or other touched willing creatures; and in the description: You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn't exceed your maximum load. You may also bring one additional willing Medium or smaller creature (carrying gear or objects up to its maximum load) or its equivalent per three caster levels. A Large creature counts as two Medium creatures, a Huge creature counts as two Large creatures, and so forth. All creatures to be transported must be in contact with one another, and at least one of those creatures must be in contact with you.
Squares don't overlap, they intersect. It is the line that intersects them that i'm talking about. I don't get this bolded sentence, in the first para you seperated the two (overlap and sharing) then in the next you use them interchangeably. I'm not attacking, i genuinely don't understand.
No, the line is interrupted because it borders with the grid intersection of the wall. This is not getting us far without proper diagrams tho :/
The point is it's the border that provides cover. lol
Yes he would have line of effect. The Fighter would benefit from cover, +4 AC, and the AA/Ranger would not provoke an AoO.Back to my original question then... would the ranger then, assuming he was an Arcane Archer, have line of effect to cast for example a Scorching Ray on said fighter on the other side of the corner?Well, it should be at least partial cover then, because his line would have to follow along a cover producing wall. No? Yeah, you need to finish the sentence. The quote is: "If any line from this corner to any corner of the target’s square passes through a square or border that blocks line of effect or provides cover, or through a square occupied by a creature, the target has cover".

The sidebar text overlaps with the text on p.196. This states that Merisiel doesn't have cover relative to the ogre because the ogre is considered to have a reach weapon and uses the ranged cover rules. But that's confusing because the ranged cover rule IIRC is that if you're closer than your target they don't recieve the cover bonus. But Merisiel and the ogre are the same distance - 5'. hrmm. needs thought.
If you're talking about the front right square of the ogre (from Valeros's perspective), yes. Because he also occupies the front left square - which has less than 50% cover - Merisiel has no cover relative to him.
You choose one corner. Now draw a line to every corner of the occupied square. If the ranger's above the fighter in the (poor) diagram then his square's corner behind him and to the left would touch on the wall. |
