So a couple questions on the Water Dancer, but does Nereid's Grace apply Charisma to the Kineticist abilities gained, or is it solely for monk abilities? The text of the ability is as follows: He uses his Charisma score instead of his Wisdom score to determine the size of his ki pool and the DC and effects of monk class features Because if the latter applies, it would seem the archetype designed to make the Monk even more MAD. If the former applies, then it looks like a very SAD Monk. I would assume that AC Bonus still relies on Wisdom, so Nereid's Grace makes Monk rely on three abilities for AC. But I guess I put the question to the floor. What's it look like?
So if a level 1 Kobold Bloodrager with the Tail Terror feat and the Salamander Bloodline bloodrages, do they have two tail attacks? As near as I can tell, the Salamander Bloodline only refers to legs twisting together into a serpentine tail. And in any case, does the full-round action it takes to slip on a kobold tail attachment require patience or concentration? If I have a Kobold Bloodrager, can I bloodrage, gain a second tail, then slip on my second tail-attachment in the one round, or am I unable to do so?
Swashbuckler Finesse (Ex) At 1st level, a swashbuckler gains the benefits of the Weapon Finesse feat with light or one-handed piercing melee weapons, and she can use her Charisma score in place of Intelligence as a prerequisite for combat feats. This ability counts as having the Weapon Finesse feat for purposes of meeting feat prerequisites. Does this effect allow a character to use Dexterity on attack rolls with a Ratfolk Tailblade (as it is a light weapon)? Or does the Swashbuckler's Finesse ability require the weapons to be piercing? Basically, the underlying question is: does the ability read "light or one-handed piercing weapons", or "light or one-handed piercing weapons"? (The former instance only applying the ability to piercing weapons, the latter allowing Swashbucklers to use Kukris with Dexterity on attack rolls because the piercing only modifies the "one-handed" property).
So after a recent discussion on reddit, I realized that many of the monster blocks are missing a crucial piece of information, and it centered around this: Do Wendigos have magical or non-magical flight, and if it's magical, can an anti-magic field actually prevent them from moving at all? I really couldn't find any monsters that had an "(su)" or "(ex)" next to their flight speed. With creatures like hawks, I assume it's (ex), but with a Djinni, I assume it's (su), but by raw, since it doesn't say it's not cancelled my anti-magic, I'm out of luck with my argument. Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find it at all.
So two quick questions, both have to do with using gauntlets: 1: Do gauntlets count as an unarmed strike for using Pummeling Style? The text for Gauntlets says this: "This metal glove lets you deal lethal damage rather than nonlethal damage with unarmed strikes. A strike with a gauntlet is otherwise considered an unarmed attack. The cost and weight given are for a single gauntlet. Medium and heavy armors (except breastplate) come with gauntlets. Your opponent cannot use a disarm action to disarm you of gauntlets." However, Pummeling Style has this text: This ability works only with unarmed strikes, no matter what other abilities you might possess. My second question is as follows: Does the shield bonus that you get from Shield Gauntlet Style only apply to the off-hand gauntlet? Suppose I were using Gauntlets instead of my raw fist, would I gain a +2 Shield Bonus? The text for the style feat says this: "When using this style, if you begin your turn wearing a gauntlet or spiked gauntlet on your off hand, and you are not using that hand to hold or make attacks with any other weapons or shield, you gain a +1 shield bonus to AC." I assume that means that the shield bonus only applies to the off-hand, which would be a bit disappointing, but would make sense. And I guess I lied, as I have a third question, this time regarding the Shielded Gauntlet Master feat, which says "In addition, you add your gauntlet’s enhancement bonus to the shield bonus to AC granted by this feat as if it were a shield enhancement bonus." Does this mean that any +1/+2/etc bonuses to the Gauntlet weapons applies as a shield bonus, and that you don't have to enchant it twice right? I'm sorry if this seems long-winded, I just wanted these figured out before I got too far ahead of myself in character creation. |
