Right now I'm playing a shadowcaster illusion specialist wizard (with divination and abjuration opposition schools) in a Way of the Wicked campaign, and I'm mainly debuff/utility. It's my first time playing a full caster and I'm noticing a lot of debuff spells are save-or-suck.

The character is a fetchling, so he gets a +1 to DCs on shadow (illusion) spells (from the alt racial Shadow Magic), spell focus (illusion) for another +1, and tenebrous spell metamagic for free on any spell with the darkness or shadow descriptors. So essentially, for the sweet spot of shadow (illusion) spells, he gets a +3 to the DC. Is there any way to attack the opponents' will saves, though?

I've got an int (with a +2 headband) of 21.

My feats thus far (at lvl 7) look like this:
Tenebrous
Spell Focus (Illusion)
Craft Wondrous Item
Shadow Gambit

Planned feats are:
Combat Casting
Umbral Spell
Solid Shadows
Lich
Observant Illusion
Shadow Grasp
Opposition Research (Divination)
Resilient Illusions

The party make-up atm, is:
Inquisitor
Antipaladin (soon to be vampiric)
Debuff Alchemist
Blaster Sorcerer

Traits are:
Campaign trait (+1 against divine spells)
Kuthite Caster
Precise Treatment

Any tips would be great! (I really wanna be able to cast things like Masochistic Shadow and eventually Maddening Oubliette.)

I get an error every time I click the "find a game" button.

The error:

"Sorry, there was a problem handling your request. The system administrator has been notified.

Please contact webmaster@paizo.com if you continue to have difficulties."

I was curious on the ruling of how these two interact (or don't) - I'm not good at finding out errata info, so if it exists, I apologize in advance.

The Uskbond Domain requires you to be NE and worship Zon-Kuthon. It also states that "A druid that has taken an archetype that alters or replaces Nature Bond cannot take the Uskbond."

However, since Nature Priest requires the worship of a god and you take a domain from that god - if you are NE and worship Zon-Kuthon, are you still disallowed from taking the Uskbond Domain, because technically Nature Priest alters Nature Bond (by making you take a your deity's domain)?

The Uskbond is from Horror Realms (pg 45) and Nature Priest is from Healer's Handbook (pg 23).

Hopefully I worded that well...

Thanks for your time!

Hopefully this is okay to put here.

I've been obsessively reading anything and everything I can get my hands on about Nidal and Zon-Kuthon. And of course that includes The Inner Sea Gods. And I noticed something odd.

The bonus that Zon-Kuthon's Deific Obedience gives is a sacred bonus, despite his evil alignment.

Theories?

Mine is personally that it has something to do with his past as Dou-Bral.

So I'm making a character to flesh out my main character's backstory - she'll likely never actually see play, but I figured why not? As an exercise in character building, if nothing else.

She's a ecclesitheurge cleric of Zon-Kuthon - I put her at level 3, a level higher than my main character (for age reasons and...just cause, really).

When it got to choosing domains, though, for some reason Hero Lab is telling me that Zon-Kuthon doesn't allow the torture subdomain. Honestly, that makes absolutely no sense to me.

Anyway, the build I have atm, on 20 point buy, is:
str 10, dex 15, con 14, int 9, wis 15, cha 14

Feats: exotic weapon proficiency (spiked chain), weapon finesse, cruelty (will be adding Bloodletting if I ever do anything with her).

Traits: Influence (Intimidate), Pain is Pleasure, Shadowsight
Drawback: Cruelty

Primary Domain: Torture Inquisition
Secondary Domain: Murder/Torture
And ecclesitheurge lets me switch out the secondary for any other spell list in Zon-Kuthon's domains.

HP 27, AC 12, Fort: +5, Ref: +3, Will: +5

I put ranks in:
Diplomacy: +6 (1)
Heal: +8 (3)
Intimidate: +9 (1)
Perception: +3 (1)

Background Skills:
Linguistics: +3 (1)
Lore (Zon-Kuthon): +4 (2)
Profession (Torturer) +8 (3)

Her weapon is a masterwork cold iron spiked chain, which is also her Bonded Holy Symbol.

I imagine her as utterly devoted, and slightly mad, but able to hide that fact when necessity demands it. She's also kind of scary in general.

Her build is leans more towards fluff than technical, but...it'd be nice if she was still useable, should I ever want to play her. Any tips?

So I have a character that I made in 2013, played in one session, and couldn't find another/fell out of pathfinder. Unfortunately, her faction is now retired. . . What do I do about that? I still want to play her, since I pretty much barely got to.

Can I just update her to the new info, or. . .do I have to make a new character?

Hey, so. I'm absolute level 0 at this, but I'm interested in try to get started! I have some of the rule books and the like already (Core, Settings, Advanced Races). I'm not sure how to really go about finding a game to join. I have a Strix character I'm working on. . .

Also, text-based is very much preferred. I'm still in the stage where I just. . .cannot talk in character at all, so it makes me a dull member to a game. I'm a lot better at writing.

If anyone has an advice for my and my dear Strix-assassin. . .
