If a familiar that is in same square as you is he considered "adjacent"? It seems on forums he is, but I don't see a 100% definite from a Paizo personnel. Want to make sure

At 1st level, a white-haired witch gains the ability to use her hair as a weapon. This functions as a primary natural attack with a reach of 5 feet. The hair deals 1d4 points of damage (1d3 for a Small witch) plus the witch’s Intelligence modifier. In addition, whenever the hair strikes a foe, the witch can attempt to grapple that foe with her hair as a free action* without provoking an attack of opportunity, using her Intelligence modifier in place of her Strength modifier when making the combat maneuver check. When a white-haired witch grapples a foe in this way, she does not gain the grappled condition.

1. Do you have to use the INT mod? or is it giving you the option to use the INT mod?

2. If I grapple with something other than the hair, I assume I get no effects from the witches grab or constrict abilities

3. this is a primary natural attack. So if I have monk levels can I use this as part of my flurry of blows attacks?

a halting monk would get this choice on level up:

Add +1 to the monk's CMD when resisting a grapple and +½ to the number of stunning attack attempts per day.

If you take an archetype that changes your stunning fist (example flowing monk, gets Redirection (Ex)) do you get extra uses of redirection instead of stunning fist?

Thanks

Is it legal for Snakebite Striker and Wild Child archetype to be used together. Herolabs has no errors but GM is saying they are a no go. Clarification would be great. Just seems to me that maneuver training is completely wiped out. Thanks

Hello all, I'm attempting to make a pfs toon that is a 100% grappler. Not concorned with striking to much, more submissions, pins, etc. I built it in heolab as a monk with the grappler archetype. Does anyone think I could come out better with another build? Maybe a fighter type or something. Please brain storm for me if you've got the time. Thanks.

Which scenarios are repeatable? Thanks

Can stunning fist be delivered through a monk weapon?

and if I have the crusaders furry feat where I can deliver flurry of blows with my deity's favored weapon. can i deliver stunning fist with that weapon?

Thanks

Given the state of the Paizo Samurai, I've been looking for an alternative Samurai build to play within PFS.
I really like this 3rd party version Nitojutsu-Sensei
I was hoping that someone could help me recreate this one possibly within the PFS frameset.
Thanks Much!

I'm going to be playing a Samurai in my next campaign and I've notice the information about Honor and gaining and losing Honor. I dont quite understand it. You can have Honor equal to 1/2 you class level (min 1). lets say you are level 10 with 5 honor. What does this mean compared to only having 1 honor? I see no bonus for having high honor. I understand the role play portion of being honorable as a Samurai but do you spend honor on something if not im not sure why having 1,2,3, .....5 honor is better? I notice there is a trait for being able to have a max honor of 2 honor higher than your class level. I see no need in this if just simply having a max honor of your class is sufficient. Hope I haven't confused anyone, Thanks!

Anyone hear anything about a release date or any info at all on the MMO thats being built for Pathfinders? Thanks

I'm looking for a feat/trait/domain/deity that would increase the caster level for channel (I'm looking to get additional dice for each roll). I'm multi classing with this build and am worried about the loss of dice as well as the DC of the channel.
I know there's a trait that gives +2 to caster level of spells, does this also effect the clerics channel?
My build idea is a cleric that is primarily a channeler that also delivers touch attack spells. Thinking of taking weapon finesse with high dex for a high attack chance and mobility and acrobatics. Any suggestions would be great.

Im building a multiclass toon that will be built around the Vampiric Touch Spell. Since i am multiclassing the caster level will not be as high. I know I can take a trait to increase caster level by 2. Is there anything else i could do to increase the caster level on that spell or make that spell do more damage/more heal back. Thanks

Hey there. I'm looking for a scenario that is extremely easy to prep for a VTT. Thinking of something that only has one map with it so there is not much editing? A short game? Simple?

You get my point :) Thanks

I was told today than when a monk uses a weapon that has ki focus attribute. That he can flurry of blows as if the weapon were a monk weapon. Example being a waskizashi or rapier which are non monk weapons. The way I read it was it only counted on special monk attacks and not the normal attacks. Can some one confirm for me, thank you.

If I have a 8 monk/5 Wiz can the following happen:

can I flurry of blows with and unarmed attach and use the spells chill touch, shocking touch, elemental touch, or vampiric touch, etc.?

chill touch for example says 1x per caster level that would be 5x

So could i flurry with the 4 attacks(from monk 8) on the 1st round and then use the remaining one on the 2nd round?

Also would i get my normal melee damage plus what ever spell damage?

Thanks!

Long Story Short:

I have 3 (additional)skills to blow each level

I want to be able to make extra money although my GM said money wont be an issue, I like to spend it like my wife does irl!

Can some one explain how crafting and professions work exactly? Do I just put points into them each level, is that enough?

I am thinking of Craft alchemy (because I get a +2 bonus on that statically)
Also thinking about Profession Torturer (I'm playing in an evil campaign)
So for the 3rd I was thinking Sense Motive so i could tell if my torturing is working.

It was also suggested to take Craft wondrous item? I think its a feat? How would that work with a profession or craft skill I select.

Thanks much, been trying to read up but the material is still unclear to me.

1~Whats the difference in number of attack when flurrying with a two handed weapon vs two weapons?

2~Do you get 1.5x str mod with flurry on a two handed weapon?

3~Are there any real benefits in using anything other than unarmed attacks with a monk unless you're looking for higher threat range? i don't see any weapon doing more that 2d10 at level 20 so it just doesn't make sense to me.

4~Can a weapon fin/dex monk deal the same damage as a str based monk? without the use of agile on unarmed attacks it seems doubtful.

5~I like the Hungry Ghost Monk. Should I go dex based or str. Should I use 2 hander or two weapons. What weapon should I use?

Ok, the War Hounder's are CR 1/2 and it says for subtier 4-5 they need to be CR1. There is no conversion or addition stat block provided. All it says if give the (x) amount more hit points. Anyone know what the stats are suppose to be or how I do the conversion math to increase the CR rating? Thanks

Combat Style Feat (Ex)

At 2nd level, a ranger must select one combat style to pursue.

Ok does this mean if its on this list that I can also pick if up as one of my regular advancement feats?

example: TWF and Double Slice are available as a Level 2 Combat Style Feat. Can I get one at level 2 and then turn around at level 3 and get the other? (lets assume I don't meet prerequisites for anything)

What items, tools, gear, traits, feats, etc can and can't be used during a day job roll? I can't find anything in organized play or field guide in regards to what can/can't be used. Thanks.

ok, I have a negative energy cleric. We'll pretend he is level 10. this is 5d6 negative energy per round. My question is how Variant channeling works. if I take the "murder" variant it says the following:

Murder: Harm—Creatures gain a bleed effect equal to your channel penalty.

Does this mean I get:

5d6 neg energy plus another 5d6 bleed at the enemies next turn?

or

5d3 neg energy plus 5d3 bleed at the enemies nest turn?

or

Something else?

Thanks

I'm looking for a document that may have a list of all products that are available for Pathfinders, sort of a checklist (I'm gonna start collecting them). Thanks!

As popular as this game is, some one out there has to of built a program in which you can add levels, class, feats, traits, weapons, etc and it will calculate damage at certain levels. So that you are able to compare damage of certain builds. Does anyone know of one off the top of your head? Thanks.

at later levels, if your stats are completely the same, how much bigger is the hit on the 1d10 vs the 1d8? is it worth having to waste a feat with a non fighter class to get it? Thanks

Just curious if someone could name some of the best/most used 2 handed weapon feats that are for damage builds. Thanks!

Are there any feats,skills,traits, items, etc that allow you a move action and still be able to attack w both weapons? thanks!

Ok, As yall've probably noticed, I have tons of questions up on these forums. Ive only been at this 3 weeks and I'm now committed to 4 campaigns and some occasional PFS games. So I'm in a little deep and need to make characters. I need a two weapon fighter, here the quick view of whats allowed and what I want and my final thoughts:

Rise of Runelords (Pathfinder AP)

*3rd party stuff possibly allowed
*hero points enabled
*20pt buy, no drow or goblin
*Monks get full BAB.
*Point Blank Shot is no longer a prerequisite for Precise Shot. However, it is still a prerequisite for any feat that has Precise Shot as a prerequisite, such as Improved Precise Shot.
*Weapon Finesse is a free feat for weapon-focused classes, including every class with full BAB, rogues, monks, magi, clerics or inquisitors with the War domain, or oracles with the Battle mystery. Certain archetypes may also qualify.
*Rolling a 20 for both the critical threat and the confirmation gives max damage.
*party can stop worrying about encumbrance, I'll won't make you track mundane consumables like ammunition and food.

What I Want
~Two weapon user
~Im in love with Kantana, Wakizashi, and Nodachi (probably butchered the spelling of them all)
~want a crit based build
~want insane damage like that of whatever God is a higher than the God of Pathfinder!
~Could care less if i am too dumb to even carry on conversations in this game
~want to be a master swordsman.
~light, med or no armor
~want good AC
~want good reflexes or evasion/imp evasion
~Dont care if i get PK'd instantly, as long a I looked cool fighting before i was insta killed by a low will save.
~other than this I could care less, please don't pick me some ugly ole uncool race though :)

What I've Looked At So Far

1. Looked at straight up Tengu Ranger(TWF focused) or Tengu Fighter(TWF focused)
2, Looked at Youxia hunter and Youxia Fighter (but I dont really understand the chart to figure out what I gain and loose)
3 Looked at Weapon Champion ranger and fighter(but I dont really understand the chart to figure out what I gain and loose)
4. Looked at Hunter
5. Looked at Bounty Hunter
6. Looked at Shadow Assassin
7. Looked at Scout and Spy

3 weeks in I got 300 hours of Pathfinder education and just found out there were prestige classes and 3rd party classes......

So, with all that someone make me the greatest character that has ever been played in the history of Games!

thank you for the help you guys are awesome!

Ok, here's what I got. A cleric with max CHA for max # of channel energy, took Murder domain for Bleeding Touch and Daemon domain so i can have Vampiric Touch. I get an auto 18+2 for my CHA, and an auto 8 for dex. I do not know my other stats yet but they will be from 8-17(depends on tomorrow nights rolls). I plan on taking Leadership feat when able, because my back story is the character has women followers/slaves. This is my 1st spell caster so is there any thing I really need to do to make sure I am effectively using this character given the prior information? Thanks.

Also a question about clerics:
The Variant Channeling(Murder) says:
Murder: Harm—Creatures gain a bleed effect equal to your channel penalty.

I know when you go Variant you only get half of it, so example. at lvl 20 it would be 5d6 instead of 10d6. So with this VC-Murder do I get 5D6 channel damage and 10d6 bleed damage? (at lvl 20 of corse)Thanks

Ok I have a lvl 3 Gunslinger and I use DB Shotgun and Revolver, my questions are as follows:
DBShotgun:
1.Reload time for one barrel
2.Reload time for 2 barrels
3.Blast area for 1 or 2 barrels (shape and range/feet)-i believe its a cone
4.enemies hit for 1 or 2 barrels?
Revolver:
5.Reload time

Addition-if i end up dual wielding pistols later on
6.Do I benefit from 2 weapon fighting?
7.How the heck do you reload with a pistol in each hand?
8.How long would it take to reload both pistols?

Also
9. with dual wield revolver, with greater two weapon fighting and max base attack bonus at higher levels. That's 7 attacks(I think). 4 from base attak and 3 from TWF? anyway. I will have 6 bullets in each gun. How do i determine how many bullets are left in which gun at the end of the round?

Sorry for the billion questions, but i've been reading a ton on this and still fail to fully understand! Thank you!

Good Day! What are these and what do I have to do to get them and what level do I have to be to use them!!!These look uber? someone give me a full run down in stupid/slow peoples language. Didn't really follow what HeroLab had to say. Thanks

Is the use of a bow with zen archer count as an unarmed attack? The race Oread get a +1/3 crit confirm on unarmed attacks. Not sure if that would count towards a bow user.

Belier's Bite (Combat)
Your unarmed strikes cause your opponent to bleed.

Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike.

Benefit: When you damage an opponent with an unarmed strike, you deal an extra 1d4 bleed damage.

Special: This ability does not stack with other special abilities, attacks, or items that allow you to deal bleed damage

If you have this and use flurry of blows on the same enemy, does it stack? Example, Level 11 Monk gets 5 attacks with Flurry. If you hit on all 5 attacks, do you roll a 5d4 for bleed damage? Thanks!

I am going to attempt to play pathfinders with my kids, I bought the beginners box and was looking for 1 other adventure. My question, I don't understand the difference between: module, campaign, etc. If I'm just looking for 1 quest, where should I search that out at? This attempt at GMing will probably be a failure, but what the heck, the kids don't know the rules anyway(that makes 2 of us) LOL!

Im a little confuse, the books tell me a +1 stat tome (example,manual of strength) is min lvl 17 and so are all the others up to +6. Why in the world would they make the min lvl so high on a +1 stat tome? Or am I not understanding how it works?

Hey there, working on my monk today. Was hoping that there were items, traits, feats that increase the amount of healing my monk receives. I wanted to take Fey Foundling and use it with Life Funnel and other Hungry Ghost Monk siphoning abilities. Not really sure how to plan out the character though.

My vision is to have a melee monk pounding away on the front line while triggering small heals himself, somehow. Are there vampirism items in pathfinders that let you suck enemy's health and add to you own?

I think you guys can see where I'm going with what I want to do, so now I'll leave it to you pro's to advise what I need to do, Thanks!

Ok my wife is wanting a spell caster/magic user that does tons of damage. Her exact quote was "All I want to do is kill things". So what class will kill things best LOL. I haven't played any magic users so I'm really clueless about this. I have basic knowledge on some of the original magic using classes but that's it. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Just curious. This gunslinger class is very intriguing! I'm curious though. Would a 20 fighter with all the gun-slinging feats and damage feats with say the weapon master or two weapon fighting archetype, be just a powerful or even more so than the standard 20 gunslinger? Because when if boils down to someone shooting a gun, its all about damage! So bottom line, who's doing more damage? Thanks, this class looks awesome!

ok, take greater 2wf for example, requires 19 dex. can i have a 15 dex with a +4 item? pretty sure in the past it had to be actual ability plus inherent bonus and no items or buffs counted. what is the Pathfinder rule on this matter? thanks.

quick question. I know in early editions of dnd 3 classes were the max for multiclassing and classes such as bard couldnt mix with pally or barb couldnt mix with monk. What are the rules now, i thought i saw a post of someone w 4 classes. Is there a link to multiclassing rules? thanks!

Ok trying to create a toon for my 12 year old son. He says he wants to do lots of healing and use a sword(of some type) and a shield. He wont sit still long enough to get much more out of him. He does like the pets also. I want his first experience with this to be good so, I'm trying to get this right.

If were looking for max heals, I'm assuming go cleric or druid of some type? What about the archetypes/sub classes? Would bard, pally, other do enough healing?

My only concern is that he would get bored with "just a healer" so I want to slip some alternatives in there that he may think are cool. We played the MMO, Dungeon and Dragon Online for 6 years, he played his main toons as damage dealers and Pally was his main. He loved Lay on Hands! That aside its completely different than rolling dice! So any advice you can give would be great. I never fancied healing much so I have limited knowledge about them in the Pathfinder setting. Thanks !
