In the case of Thaumaturge's Implements, is it allowed and accepted within organized play for players to reflavor their implements to not be limited to those listed. Such as using a polished silver plate for a mirror implement. Or a flute instead of a bell. Or even to go as far to deviate greatly from it, like using a deck of cards as a Weapon Implement?

I've done a fair deal of research on this, AoN is incredibly helpful. But I cant seem to find a means to achieve this. First and foremost, how do I acquire an ability that is similar or functions exactly the same as No Breath. Permanently. using Items/cybernetics/grafts/Feats/etc,.

Keep in mind I'm locked into a Solarian class, with multiclassing not being an option. This also prevents me from Race options, if any. Thank you for any assistance you can provide

Currently lvl 15 Starsoul Tattooed Sorcerer. Retraining both Archetype and Bloodline into Crossblooded and Phoenix Bloodline. Heres what I've got thus far:

Class Feature Dropped and/or gained.............Days
Gain BL Arcana..................................5
-/+1st level BL Power to Bloodline Familiar....10
Varisian Tattoo into Eschew Materials...........5
-Bloodline Tattoos..............................5
Quicken Spell into new feat.....................5
-7th Lvl Archetype..............................5
-/+9th lvl Archetype to Bloodline..............10
15th Level BL Power.............................5
Retrain 6th lvl spell..........................12

Total Days: 62
PP Cost: 62 Prestige Points
Gp Cost: 9,300gp

Thanks to the rules of Retraining and the uniqueness of the Crossblooded Archetype I don't need to train out old Bloodline Spells for new ones, because I just keep the old ones. As well as not needing to train out all of my Bloodline Powers at every level namely just the 3rd level one. This saves TONS of Prestige.

Three questions:
1. DO I have to pay for the Acquisition of the Class Skill that I gain from Phoenix?
2. According to the RAW the dropping of 7th level Archetype class feature is all I need to pay for. I shouldn't need to pay to gain a feat, or am I reading this wrong?
3. Did I miss anything?

A group of 4 people are looking for you! A GM that will help us be our Baddest Selves. If you have someone you wish to bring along, We would not mind at all.
It's Important that we tell you that we have all broken out of the Prison and done the 9 rooms already with a GM that used a Bluetooth Headset, and never prepared any Maps.
We are more than happy to start all over again
We can Provide you the Books for Way of the Wicked if needed
We are playing on Roll20
We Talk through Discord
The Group consists of Two Brothers and a Husband(Me) and Wife
Me and my wife have quiet a lot of experience playing the Pathfinder system

Contact me here if you are Interested or have any questions.

I only ask this because spellcasters can lower their caster level when casting spells and I was hoping Kineticists could do the same. Please don’t ask why, it doesn’t help forward this question. If you must, I want to be able to do less damage to allies when I use Foe Throw on them to take them out of danger and not kill them because I’m rolling 6d6+16 on an ally that just took 70+ damage.

I Want to present this to a group I will be running for. They are all new to the Pathfinder. So let me know if i should add or take away anything.

Work with me here. I had it all figured out before, So indulge me on this Journey of rediscovery of why this doesnt/does work.
As an Example: Cast Contingency that Cast Contingency that Cast Contingency to cast Contingency that cast Break Enchantment. To say remove a Mind Wipe or something.

More over, I'm looking for pictures of People with Gems Embedded into their skin. Big ones too, like fist size, that or a race of people that look similar. Such as Oreads, but with Gems in their skin, or I'd settle for a species of Humanoid Crystal people. So far Google search Images hasn't given me what I'm looking for.

If you could throw me an artists name, Race name, or links to such things i'd very much appreciate it.

If you use Kinetic healer can you use your familiar to Deliver the Touch required to Heal someone?
If you can, could you also have your Familiar take the Burn from the Kinetic Healer instead of you?

It be nice to have for any Overwhelming Soul Archetype users Given they can only heal themselves with it if they use their Buffer. I'll ask my GM personally if he's ok with it, but i wanted to see where this discussion will go, since i find it interesting.

NOTE: for simplicity sakes assume Familiar was gained from Greater Elemental Whispers.

Just looking for some advice for what kind of bonus a Dog familiar would give. I've asked around my local area and I've gotten a few similar responses but I wanted to get the opinion of the people online.
Some things to note. I'm using a Lap Dogs statistics which say to use A Foxes Statistics. I know Fox familiars give a bonus to Reflex but I feel that's a bit out of place for a small Lap Dog.(especially since mine will be a Welsh Corgi)

How does Elemental whispers interact with other classes? Say I take a Level of wizard At level 7, do they stack and if so. can I take improved familiar now counting as a 7th level to take other Improved Familiar options?
Also are Archetypes available to your Elemental Whisper familiar? I know most every familiar archetype requires the replacement or modification of "Speak with animals of its kind" which Elemental Whisper Familiars don't have.
Can I take an Familiar Archetype with the level of wizard and it still affect the Elemental Whispers levels?(Obviously if I take the level of wizard first)

Need help with feats and equipment for a build where I just Charge in then withdraw, just to Charge back in Again.
Already decided to level dip Master of Many Styles for Charging Stag Style. I am going to be a Skinwalker(Seascarred). The rest of my Levels WILL be Choakineticists.

This is actually more of a request for clarification on whether ranged touch attacks are treated as ranged weapons for the purposes of qualifying for Using ranged weapon feats. Such as above, can you use Channeled Ray to disarm?

This is not broken in any respect. I just thought it would be fun to have my channeled Ray cleric disarm opponents "In the name of Pharasma. Lay down your arms!" *skeleton's arms fall off*

If you have greater cleave attacking 6 baddies. And say you kill target 3 do you have to take cleaving finish? Or do you lose it when continuing greater cleave?

Do the skills granted by Overwhelming Soul get the bonus from Skilled Kineticist?

I will provide the Module and do the reporting. just Looking for someone other than myself to Run this. Would like this to be run before the 14th of this month. So let me know whens a good time for you. Just message me directly. Thank you in advance.

Its Been almost 5 Months Now since the Rebuild and I was wondering if there are any rulings on the interaction between Ultimate Campaign Retraining Rules and the new Occult Classes regarding Pathfinder Society Play. Some of it seems simple, Archetypes and possibly spells known, but what about Class features and Class levels? What Synergies are there? Mesmerists Tricks, Phrenic Amplifications, Occultists Implements? Can those be Retrained?
Thematically it seems weird but not as weird as its to retrain a Sorcerer's Bloodline. Just Looking for something less supposition and more definitive.

we're a small group of 5 using various exotic races 20 point buy, 2 traits, avg HP, and 150 starting gold. The list includes a Skinwalker(shark) Kineticist, a Merfolk Life Oracle, a Oversized Goblin Cavalier, a Orc Fighter, and a Lashunta(Male) Sorcerer. starting at level 1. Unless you suggest we start at a different level.

If You are interested but dont have the AP I can Provide it. We'd get together every Sunday at a time convenient for you and everyone else. Let me know what rules you would like to enforce and i'll relay them to the rest of the Group. If you need anymore information let me know and i'll get it for you.

5,020 is Hellishly to low.
I Respect James Jacobs input on this. But I now have a few players that are arguing with me on this. Some even go as far to say "He's only the creative Director, Now if Mark or Mike say anything we'll listen" and that irks me. I've told them to respect the ruling but they Ignore me and continue to buy and use the weapon at the Incorrect Price. This is for PFS play btw. I HATE to ask, as I know what that implies, but is there any chance we can get a Second Opinion on this?

Sweet

Trying to make a list thats called P.R.I.C.E. that lists players Characters I've played with a specific character. How I intend for it to operate is that at the start of each adventure I Roll a d20 for each player at the table that I haven't already rolled for in the past. Add some conditional modifiers such as highest priced gear bought, class, level, etc,.
So far ive come up with... Pathfinder Rating of Investing Capital Evaluation. Or even... Potential Return of Investments, Capital and Expenses.
Any Idea is welcome. Also welcoming ideas for d20 modifiers other than what I listed. Like do they own a business(Vanity)? +1, Are they a bard? -2.
Its Basically a listing of other player Characters I've played with mine. His name is "The Profit" He's an Occultist, and I'm still playing him because I got that line signed off on the Boon back in November. He summons Human Skeletons to flank, deal damage, spring traps, carry loot, protect worthy investments and etc. He finds his party members either troublesome or Invaluable(Depending on the rolls made for them earlier).
As a guideline during a adventure using a rudimentary method of assessing the value of a party he ignored the Druid going unconscious, because I rolled a 3 for them, but rushed to the aid of the Rogue(17) and the druids animal companion(which I rolled separately a Nat 20). Neglecting to use MY wand on anybody that I rolled less than a 10.
I also plan to have a chart for roll results for how and what I do for that particular character. Such as if they got 15+, extended them use of my equipment such as potions and spell casting. But if they got less than 5 Ignore them till they qualify for a reroll. Like death and raise dead, buying of new equipment thats total worth is higher than a fixed amount(thinking somewhere along the lines of 10k, or 5k increments).
Thanks a lot for any input, even if you don't like the idea.

Looking for an updated spreadsheet of Pathfinder Society Scenarios. kinda looking for something like This. but more up to date. Thanks for the help.

Character: Human(Varisian) Occultist, Level 1, PFS Standard Rules (20 Point buy, 560 GP starting wealth, 2 traits)

Traits: Theoretical Magician: +2 Spellcraft, Clever Wordplay: Use INT instead of CHA for UMD.
Feats: Magical Aptitude, Skill Focus (Spellcraft)
Implements: Drum, and Smoked Goggles.
Stats:
Str: 12
Dex: 10
Con: 10
Int: 18
Wis: 13
Cha: 14

HP: 8
FCB: Skill Point
AC: 10
Initiative: +0

The main advantage I had for this Character was that I had two GM credits for a 1st level character on this tac before. For Slow progression. It allowed me to build more freely and gave me an advantage on what Implements I may or may not have wanted. It also got me thinking, that with enough prep time before combat I could give my Necromantic Servant(s) weapons I already had on hand. But opted out of doing this because it became clear to me I had no idea how to play a Necromancer.

First Encounter: four humanoids and a guy bleeding from the eyes. I rolled low on initiative. So by the time I was able to go one of them closed in pretty close. Due to the Necromantic Servant not having a range limit expressed in the description. I simply Summoned one from the ground adjacent to me, between me and the enemy that closed in on me. The Skeley 5ft, then 2 clawed hitting for 9 damage total. That particular enemy died before he could act again. I then Proceeded to go for the guy bleeding from the eyes. Giving the rouge a flanking partner. After A round or two the rouge takes him down and the remaining two other guys stopped fighting.

After this we explored a little bit and found a 'Passage' into a underground ruin or dungeon. Since my skeley was still around for 7 minutes we used him as a 'Trap Finder'. This cost him his unlife as he fell prey to a trap and died(again).

Second Encounter: one weird animal thingy. I summoned a new skeleton to fight, he was lovingly named Yorick. Yorick moved to attack and missed. Encounter ended when the barbarian(one of them at least) hit the monster once.

Yorick took up his former compatriots role as Trap Finder. Before entering the next room for reasons unbeknownst to me I summoned a second skeleton. I have reason to believe that it was because I realized the simple fact that I could. Both Skeletons entered the room fisrt and combat began after discovering a mass of whirling flesh.

Third Encounter: four Ghouls, and two unidentified creatures that exploded upon death(yeah sorry for the spoilers). The new skeley charged the closest Ghoul, on the right, and hit for 5 damage. Yorick moved to the left of the room after the other ghoul but was unable to charge. The next Round I moved into the room drawing a Crossbow and loading it. Yorick and the other one attacked. Yorick hit with both claws for 8 damage total. The other was destroyed but I brought it back after spending a point of Mental Focus to bring him back, after which almost immediately, He was slain again by one of the unknown creatures multiple attack it had in that round. The following round Yorick caused the explosion of the final unknown and we proceeded to tear at the swirling fleshy thing in the middle of the back of the room.

Once destroyed, apparently, we explored the rest of the ruins. Finding more of those Unknown creatures and a 'Woman' stitting on a throne. of which we could not negotiate with due to one of the Barbarians charging and killing one of the Unkown creatures before we could even act.

Final Encounter: I summon a second Undead to replace the one that had fallen and proceeded to send them after the Woman and the one remaining Unknown. Helping the Rouge flank with Yorick and the other new one charging the Woman missing, seemingly almost clawing his own face out(if it was still present). The other barbarian seemed however to rend the foul woman in two swinging downwards at the woman. Blade touching the ground. The other Unknown slain by the Rouges precision damage on the creature thanks to my Yoricks Flanking.

After I examined the chest and found much silver to be split among the group. As they had all earned their fair share of the Stuff We All Got from this exploratory mission. We Later dug out a room cut off from a prior collapse of the ruins internal structure. finding a Ghoul that just kinda, jumped, onto the barbarians Greatsword. Killing it instantly. We looted the room finding the Orb, I took extensive notes of the ruins structure and layout, Even finding a secret door leading to a door we could not possibly open, we then all left to return to the pixie.

Notes: I Like the Occultist theme. but I'm sure I built it wrong according to most people, advice would be nice. I'm building a more Necromatic servant build eventually getting Animate Dead. I had fun with it, though I was worried about my effectiveness in combat should I be caught without my Skeletons. Or the means to Summon them. My Skill point allocation seemed nearly Satisfactory until I realized how effective my Skelies where at Trap Finding. Making me regret putting points into Disable Device. Though I believe thats fine since I might need it for some locked doors or something.
Class Skills could probably use some work, but mostly the lack of Knowledge (All) for a class like the Occultist seemed kinda weird but the one picked out for it at this point make a decent amount of sense. If feel like you have to drop something like Perception or Slight of Hand. Then I would like to ask you just leave it. Having Bluff might be nice. You know since we have Disguise, but not the Bluff to maintain it.
Spell Progression for this class feels weird. I'm actually fine with it only being 6th lvl cap. Just i wish there was some way to make their progression... Faster? and Slower at the same time. Like 6th level has access to 3rd level then 4th level spells at 9. Though I know that makes its spell progression uneven. Its hard to place why it feels weird.
Overall though I am pleased with the class, though some of the powers from the various implements need some fleshing out. As you saw, due to the undefined range of the Necromantic Servant I abandoned my previous interpretation of it to raise him again at a distance during the Third Encounter after I already used the focus point to Raise him during combat.
I do plan on buying armor for him but I got distracted at all the other things I had to buy as well as making sure I was properly stat'd out. Making him was a bit Challenging though, the choice of Implements was limiting, though I know you all are working on it.

How many times can I use my GM star Replay on the same scenario? I know the limit one per character. But am I Limited to say only just the Three Chronicles. Even if I have 2-3 stars?

"Alternatively, campaign GMs who are recognized for
their efforts by receiving GM stars (see page 38), may
receive additional player or GM credit for a number of
non-Tier 1 scenarios or sanctioned modules per GM star
they have earned. For example, a three-star GM may
select any three scenarios or sanctioned modules that she
can then play or GM for credit one additional time each.
For each of these adventures, she can thus earn a total
of three Chronicle sheets, rather than the two normally
allowed. When replaying a scenario with GM-star credit,
the GM completing the Chronicle sheet will annotate the
Notes section of the Chronicle sheet and add “GM Star
Replay Credit × Star” to annotate the use of star credit
replay. The GM Star Replay Credits are a once per star,
lifetime benefit."

Am I to take the Bold line literally or is it just an Example?

Gravity Sphere(People of the Stars pg.28) Combined with Air Geyser(ACG pg.173)

I start this Combo by either making a x2 Gravity Sphere centered directly Above my intended target or on above the target excluding as many allies as possible. To clarify the latter. I would center the 30 radius sphere so as to have most of the spells effect in the Air above the target but low enough to only include them. The former hovers above the target without effecting him. That is until I cast Air Geyser to attempt to launch target into the Air as far as possible. At my current level this means I can launch the target 60ft into the air.

Here's where my question comes in. Do I launch the target through the Gravity Sphere the full 60ft into the Air or does the x2 Gravity Half this distance?

Rules to consider:
From People of the Stars pg.18 regarding x2 gravity
"High Gravity (×2): Characters can move at no more than
half speed, jump no more than half as high or as far as
normal, and lift no more than half as much as normal.
Each range increment for ranged weapons is halved.
Creatures that fall within an area of high gravity take 1d6
points of damage for every 5 feet fallen."

Spells in question:

Gravity Sphere
"School transmutation; Level druid 6, sorcerer/wizard 5
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M (a marble)
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect 30-ft.-radius sphere of altered gravity
Duration 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw none (see text); Spell Resistance no
You affect the local gravity field in a 30-foot-radius sphere around
the spell’s designated point of origin. Creatures in the affected
area can be weighed down by high gravity, lightened by low
gravity, or left to float in an area with no gravity, depending on
the effect you choose for your gravity sphere. See page 18 for
rules on the effects of high, low, and no gravity.
Creatures that fall within the area of a gravity sphere spell
take more damage from the fall if the gravity within is higher
and less damage if the gravity within is lower. However, if
the creature falls through a gravity sphere and continues to fall
in a non-affected area, the rest of the fall damage is calculated
normally. For instance, if a creature falls through 20 feet of a low gravity sphere and an additional 30 feet outside the sphere, it
would take 1d6 points of damage for the 20 feet of low gravity
plus 3d6 points of damage as normal for the 30 feet outside
the sphere (for a total of 4d6 points of damage).
This spell doesn’t counteract or negate the effects of other
spells that affect gravity; both effects occur simultaneously. For
instance, a no-gravity gravity sphere spell cast within the area
of a reverse gravity spell would simply mean that creatures float
about until the gravity sphere’s duration expires or they exit the
gravity sphere, at which point they return to the top of the reverse
gravity effect’s area. If both gravity-altering magical effects could not feasibly take place simultaneously (at the GM’s discretion), the gravity sphere spell supersedes the previous effect (if it’s higher level than the previous effect) or simply fails (if it’s lower-level)."

Air Geyser
"School evocation [air], Level bloodrager 3, druid 3,
magus 3, shaman 4, sorcerer/wizard 3, witch 3
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target one creature or object up to Large size
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw Reflex partial (see text); Spell Resistance yes
You create a powerful blast of air capable of flinging an
opponent upward. If the target fails its Reflex save, the force
of the air deals 2d6 points of bludgeoning damage and hurls
the target upward a number of feet equal to 5 × your caster
level. If a solid object (such as a ceiling) is encountered, the
target strikes the object in the same manner as it would
during a normal fall. After this blast of air ceases, the target
falls down (unless it was flying), taking falling damage
as normal. A successful save means the target takes half
damage from the air blast but is not moved by it."

Looks to me like you can use both. Totaling the Damage from Pummeling Style to the amount of Sunder damage you do to the Weapon/Armor/other item.
Take the Brawler Archetype, Steel Breaker, and you have a bunch of naked/broken mooks.

Excuse me if this is some sort of special ruling or something of that matter. But I was playing some tables at a Con and heard players saying they were over coming special kinds of DR for hitting with a weapon with a specific number bonus. i.e. +4 weapon is equal to having made out of adamantine. though this isn't a specific example, its along the line of what they were arguing. I know of the +1 bonus makes it Magical for that purpose but not of anything else.

Could someone guide me to what the Potential source of this could be.

PFS Character build. Five levels of Tattooed Sorcerer. Tattooed familiar: Centipede. I take my Sixth level into Winter Witch. Which has the stipulation of:

"Familiar: Winter witches must choose a familiar that
is native to the frozen north, even when they themselves
operate in other regions. Traditionally, this limits winter
witch familiar choices to bat, cat, fox, hawk, owl, rat,
raven, or weasel. A winter witch who gains the Improved
Familiar feat can select any familiar she desires, save for
familiars with the fire subtype."

Do I:
1. Ignore this modification because I already have a familiar.

2. Buy a new Familiar because I took this Archetype.
2b. If so do i pay the 500gp per level, because I'm a witch now, or just the 200gp because i lost my Sorcerer Familiar. OR its free.

3. ???

4. Profit. i.e. gain two familiars due to the unique nature of both the Witches Familiar "spellbook" and tattooed Familiar.(I'd like to remark im only asking this out of sillyness and know its HIGHLY unlikely)

After much searching I am still having a hard time finding anything other than back and forth "Rulings" among various Threads. This is regarding the Sorcerer Elemental(Any) Bloodline Arcana: "Whenever you cast a spell that deals energy damage, you can change the type of damage to match the type of your bloodline. This also changes the spell's type to match the type of your bloodline." and whether or not any relative Metamagic Feats such as Rime Spell, Burning Spell, Etc. can be applied to Spells affected by the above Bloodline Arcana.

The ONLY reason I raise this question is because one can argue that because the Bloodline Arcana states Type change not a Descriptor change like it does in the Marid Bloodline Arcana: "Whenever you cast a spell that deals energy damage, you can change the type of damage to cold. This also changes the spell's descriptors to match this energy type."

Thusly Confusion ensues. Though honestly it seems that my answer just might be. "Well... just pick Marid so no one can argue about it". I'd like for that to just be it, but I would like to know if I have more flexibility than that. Especially whenever(if ever) I get one of the Elemental Races(specifically Undine).

I apologize if there was an official ruling on this already but I have had a hard time finding it.

Such as from the 1st Draconic Sorcerer Bloodline Power?

Note: I am limited to PFS rules. No other Animal Companion aside from any other Insect(except crab, I don't consider that an Insect)

I would like some help decking out my Centipede Animal Companion. Classes are limited to either Druid(don't know which domain) or Sylvan Sorcerer.
I do plan on eventually giving him a 3 INT for obvious reasons. Probably around 4th or 5th level(using the 4th level ability score bonus and a Headband of Vast Intelligence +2).
I'm taking Boon companion at 1st level for the Sylvan Sorcerer and a trait that allows for Handle Animal as a Class Skill.

Any suggestions are welcomed

I need some advice as to how i can beat a 20th level to 25th level Ranger with a few levels of Rouge. He mainly uses a Composite STR +(whatever the max is) Bow. Clustered Shot, Rapid Shot, Many Shot, Basically on a fullround attack he can get off 7 Arrows that ignore DR for a minimum of 250ish dmg. i dont know exactly how he accomplishes this but i dont care. I just need a way to either Survive the first round or Negate his Ridiculousness. Either as a Sorcerer, Dragon Disciple or a Ninja or anything really.

Also he believes a Ninjas 20th level, Hidden Master, uses Up 3 ki every round you are Invisible. From his understanding of this sentence. "Using this ability consumes 3 ki points from her ki pool." so at a minimum of 15 ki(off a 20 CHA Score) at 20th level. He says I only have 5 rounds of this Invisibility. But i say it works like i have 20 rounds per 3 Ki i spend. as i am casting Greater Invisibility at a caster level equal to my Ninja Level. as it says in the book.

A Resolve to both these questions would be great. Im mainly doing this to get him off his high horse because he brags to everybody about it. any way to beat/negate/make useless would be perfect. Remember he has high saves, especially Reflex which is why hes a problem. i cant do the usual Maximized Time Stop into five Maximized Delayed blast fireball trick. with the use of rods and feats of course.

I may have a +21 to my initiative but this doesnt mean i cant lose. so if i dont go first i Die. even then i have to avoid beeing seen when he has invisibility seeing magic items. Who wouldnt really at that level. The Ninja was my way around that. he Ignores anything but total concealment and total cover.

I chose the metamagic feat Elemental spell under the pretense that I could take advantage of the WildBlooded Bloodline Linnorm Crag. For the Natural Armor bonus equal to Fire Spell level. I have recently discovered that i cant substitute Force Damage with such a feat. I play PFS and he's now level 7, The Elemental feat is now effectively useless for the purpose of which it was Originally intended. Can I change Feats now, or am I completely screwed?

I saw a while back a ruling on Aasimar Characters can only be made, for PFS Organized Play, as Half-Human.
but I'm failing to find the subject anywhere through various searches. Can someone help me out?

Cockatrice spit is special in the fact a creature who takes Dexterity damage equal to its Dexterity score from this poison becomes petrified but each day, can attempt a new DC 12 Fortitude save to become unpetrified with minus 1 to their Dex Score.(can you Coup de Grace a petrified target?)

Poisons explained briefly.
Contact poisons can be used on weapons, but come on average of a 1min(10 ROUNDS) onset, to the effect that when you simply hit with that weapon the target is poisoned and needs to make a save.
Each of these Doses no matter what you apply them to, are one time use, so no multiple applications to a handful of bolts, Shuriken, etc,. from a single dose. Just that one piece of ammunition for one dose(Lame, I know).
Onset occurs the moment poisons are contracted, meaning they save when contracted, Contractors DO NOT get another save when the onset is up. I.E. Onest of 1min gets a save when contracted, if the save failed, 1min later the poison goes into effect(1d4 dex, str, etc,.).
Frequency means when the next round, min, etc,. occurs they get a new save against the poison. Failed means Immediate effect. i.e. 1/rd for 6rds equals 6 saves at the start of those rounds after the initial onset.
No onset means immediate Save or fail to resist poison effect upon contraction.
The "Initial" and "Secondary" effects occur, respectively, on the first and second round of contraction. i.e. injury/contact/onset: Save or be Blind for 1d6 rounds, round following: save or be Paralyzed for 1d6min.

Recommended for Builds:
Rogue Talent: Swift Poison: Move Action to apply a single dose of poison, as opposed to a standard action, to a weapon/ammunition.(ref. Advanced Player's Guide pg. 1)
Religion Trait: Potent Concoctions: Pick two Poisons, when inflicting these poisons (I recommend Shadow Essence and Giant Wasp Poison) add +1 to the DC to resist them. Down side you have to worship a giant Mosquito (ref. Faiths of Corruption pg. 19).

If you have any suggestions, questions or noticed i got something wrong please let me know and I'll update the Thread.

Sanguine Society

First founder of this magical art, did so under the pretense that there where others in the world that dared called them selves masters of blood. When really they were slaves of it. The first to try to master the bloody magical arts barely had a grasp of control over his own blood when he taught his disciples. However, after his demise during a successful show of power by one of his students, they became the new master of the bloody arts. Despised by the world around them and with a new understanding coming from this terrible accident they took their school and hid it from the world.

Building their small City out of blood and sweat, quiet literally, the Crimson City was founded. Here the magical art of Sanguine Magic flourished and became a natural part of their world. Every Man, Woman, and Child knew the art that ran through their veins, to varying degrees, becoming a part of every day life. Those more powerful became leaders and lived longer lives due to their control over their own blood as well as others.

For centuries they lived in peace, until a terrible earthquake shook their city. Fortunately since their structures where made of the blood of their ancestors. They managed to keep it standing using the magical art that came naturally to them. Its then that the population discovered they lived underground, having some form of other magic give the illusion of an above ground life style. This fact lost to the generations, and kept secret to protect themselves from the world.

Elders of the City attempted to keep the people inside the shattered walls, Giving advice of lies an deceit to keep them 'safe'. This however didn't stop a single redheaded girl from venturing forth into the outside world. Little time passed as she eventually discovered a small town. None could understand her as she spoke only the language of her people. This caused her to lash out on those who assailed her due to their lack of understanding and she killed them quickly. Causing their blood to hit the wall behind them, leaving their empty bodies to fall the ground.

She did not mean to kill them, had they have been like her kin, they simply would have been pushed back a foot or two. She hid for a time, followed back upon her return to her city. Those who followed looked upon the city in absolute horror, the way the people there acted and used their own blood for every day activities caused them to nearly go mad. Despite being discovered as outsiders, the people of the Crimson City let them leave.

Ignorant to the true nature of the Crimson City they caught the attention of many local Kings-men, who learned to fear that power underneath the earth. Thus began the Crimson Crusade, A mass genocide of the Crimson City inhabitants, during the beginning the citizens fled to the inner city seeking safety among the Elders power. When the Crusade eventually surrounded the center, they had already succeeded in eliminating more than three quarters of the population.

This was only accomplished by the fact that the people were inherently peaceful and had only a small police force to defend themselves when the crusade began. But with their backs to the wall, they fought back, even with those few against so many. They pushed them back out of their city walls, consequently leaving them even fewer in number, and taking nearly none of the invaders lives. For the people had learned to worship theirs and others blood and for it to be spilt so easily by these invaders led them to spare as many as they could, but this didn't help deter the oncoming storm.

To cover for their shameful retreat, the Kings-men, lied about the nature of the Crimson City's attack to the rest of the world. And so the world rallied under the guise of defeating the evil 'Invaders' from the bloody underground. By the time they had gathered their forces and invaded the Crimson City. They found it empty, void of any conflict that had ever as well as the presence of the Bloody built structures, the Kings-men, were ridiculed for their musings of a Bloody Magical Art form.

After the armies had left, in their rage they buried where the city once was thoroughly enough to where it would surely never be found again. Then again worried of the return of the Crimson Casters, they ordered that all redheads and red eyes be killed on sight. As this was the common theme among the people of the accursed Crimson City. Whether this was effective or not, they never heard of that degree of blood magic again and neither did the rest of the world. Time passed, forgotten the Conflict with the Crimson City, reminded only by the lessened number of redheads in the world.

(I hate to break the story up like this here, but i'm at a cross roads with either, making this story lead to a sorcerer exclusive bloodline/Prestige Class/Archetype. Or a new class all together. though it helps while writing this i may have gotten more ideas on how to make either or. Also i post this now so i can get some help with making this possible. I left out major details for a reason, its not like you guys haven't run into something like that before. You know being told about MAJOR historical events with varying details left out for speculative purposes.*cough**Aroden**cough cough*(on a side side note: Kings-men was used in lue of something better of which I couldn't think of at the time, its meant to be a generalization for the explicit purpose of being replaced by what ever Paizo(or whoever) decides on. In fact thats the main reason events are led to be so general in the story. Just providing and interesting back story for this thing I'm working on. That and this is just a template on which they can work on/with. Trying my hardest to make this story unique from the other "Blood Magic" users. Seeing as they have the theme of being either Necromatic(made up word) or evil or grotesque in nature.)) [I hear-by give exclusive access of this idea to Paizo publishing, for the purpose of sounding all legal like and making a new Blood Magic based class/Prestige/Archetype/Bloodline/etc,. Suggestions, Criticism, Advice made in this Thread will be greatly appreciated and put up for consideration]

I'd just like to know for not only my peace of mind, but also for a proper role playing experience. It would also help name some of my characters from the various regions.

My question is based off of the fact I'm going to be a Ninja taking, Ninja Trick: Rogue Trick: Swift Poisoner. Then Eventually the Ninja Trick: Flurry of Stars. For now assume I'm not worried about action economy, for whatever reason. I plan on "Loading" all four Shuriken with Poison Prior to using them for the Flurry of Stars.
How do I accomplish "Loading" Poisoned Shuriken for the Flurry of Stars? How long does a Dose of poison stay on it, to the effect that I can have them on me, Dosed with poison before an Encounter/Fight?
How many can I have "Loaded" for this and any other purpose?
What are my limits regarding this, that I have likely over read/looked?

Okay, can a Monk use Shurikens as Improvised Melee weapons using the Catch Off-Guard Feat, while also not taking a -4 for Non-Weapon Proficiency Penalty to attack because he is already Proficient With Shurikens?
Edit: AND also use two of them with flurry of blows, not throwing them of course?

Please take this suggestion for PFO. No Excessive, clumsy, and grotesque "Hemotheurges".

All im looking for is Kitsune. You can offer me others and i will consider it. I know there are other threads for this, but i dont care, im just trying to reach out in as many ways as possible.
