Hello.

I have a question about how illusions work. For example, my foe created illusionary wall in front of me, can I just make a guess and just go through it?
Second situation is: I failed saving throw on illusion, but I made successful recall knowledge check. So, I cannot see through illusion (because save is failed), but I 100% know that this object in front of me is an illusion. In that situation can I just try and go through it?
Can I just try and go through an illusion like in Harry Potter movie?
There are some strict rules about it, or it is up to DM?

Hello. I have question about throwing weapon and can i targer square with throwing weapon instead of targetting enemy?
I am asking because of alhemical bombs and splash weapon. On a critical fail bombs doesn't make splash damage. And main question is may i target square under enemy or square near enemy to make splash damage to him.
I didn't found rules about it in core rulebook, but if we look in the "Web" spell https://2e.aonprd.com/Spells.aspx?ID=374 then we can see that it says that "A square has AC 5, and it automatically fails its saving throws.". Therefore, can we interpret that the AC ground is 5?

CRB, page 580: "The DC of the Crafting check to transfer a rune isdetermined by the item level of the rune being transferred,and the Price of the transfer is 10% of the rune’s Price,unless transferring from a runestone, which is free. If you’reswapping, use the higher level and higher Price between thetwo runes to determine these values. It takes 1 day (insteadof the 4 days usually needed to Craft) to transfer a rune orswap a pair of runes, and you can continue to work overadditional days to get a discount, as usual with Craft."

Do i need to be expert to transfer runes, that require "expert" to craft it ? (Text says only to take DC)

Do i need to have craft magical item feat to transfer runes ? (This is important, because transfer rune isn't crafting magical item. And i compare it with battle medecine which isn't treat wounds and doesn't require healing tools)

What is total cost to transfer rune? (you can continue to work overadditional days to get a discount, as usual with Craft.) Is it 10% first day and i can get 90% discount? How does it works with runestone? 1 day is for free and i can get 90% discount?

Hello. I have question about shield block and damage taken.

"Shield block" feat says -"Your shield prevents you from taking an amount of damage up to the shield's Hardness. You and the shield each take any remaining damage, possibly breaking or destroying the shield"

At the same time Hardness says - "whenever a shield takes damage, the amount of damage it takes is reduced by this amount"

The question is how many damage takes shield after shield block? It sounds logical that the shield receives initial damage - hardness (for example 15 (damage rolled) - 5 (hardness) = 10).

But wording clearly says that initial damage is reduced by hardness and only then player and shield takes damage. Hardness reduce damage when shield is taking damage so it looks like 15 (damage rolled) - 5 (reducing damage by hardness as feat says) - 5 (reducing damage by hardness when shield takes damage) =5

Please, clarify this for me.

Hello. I have question about Way of the Shooting Star feat.Initial

Benefit(s): You can add your Charisma bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls when wielding a starknife. If you do so, you don’t modify attack rolls and damage rolls with your starknife with your Strength modifier, your Dexterity modifier (if you have Weapon Finesse), or any other ability score (if you have an ability that allows you to modify attack rolls and damage rolls with that ability score).

In my opinion this feat is not correct enough, so may be, you could explain me some details.

So i will carp to this feat.

The first sentence says, that when i am wielding a starknife, i can use my Charisma bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls. And its looks like i can modify any of my attacks as long as i wield a starknife.

The second sentence says, that if i modify my attacks rolls and damage rolls with my charisma bonus, then attacks with a starknife don't modify from other ability bonuses.

So, right now, it looks like i can modify any of my attack rolls and damage rolls with a charisma when i am wielding a starknife, but if i will attack with a starknife, then it will use only a charisma bonus on attack roll and damage roll (if i want so).

Q1. Can i Make Grapple CM with my Hairs (natural attack)? If i can will i use my strenght or my Intelligence modifiers? Did i strike enemy with my hair natural attack? Can i grab my enemy after this and make pin CM, because enemy already was grappled?
Q2. I can grapple enemy with my hands and make damage with equivalent to my unarmed strike, a natural attack, spikes or light weapon or one handed weapon. If i will make damage equivalent to my hairs damage (natural attack) does it mean "In addition, whenever the hair strikes a foe, the witch can attempt to grapple" ?
Q3. If i grabbed my enemy and i dont have grappled condition on myself, does it means i can make attack of opportunity at the same time? Will my enemy stay in grapple at the same time? Can i grab more then one enemys at the same time?
Q4. "If you successfully grapple a creature that is not adjacent to you, move that creature to an adjacent open space (if no space is available, your grapple fails)." If i have reach on my hairs. Can i after successfull grab/grapple check go from grappled enemy on my rich? Will i move grappled creature to an adjacent open space after "If you do not release the grapple, you must continue to make a check each round, as a standard action, to maintain the hold"
Q5. Do i have Grab special attack? Can i grapple enemys as standard action with out attack of opportunity?

Thank you about explaning these things. ^^

1. That still counts as an attack. It would be just like having someone in the area of a fireball. You are just having them in the area of a splash attack.

2. Black Tentacles are not a summoned creature. They are an AoE spell just like fireball that attacks by grappling and damage vs being instantaneous one time damage. That also breaks invis.

3. They are not spells, but they are still magical attacks on someone. They will break invis.

4. You are still attacking them, and them being neutral does not make them not your foe. As an example a tiger that is trying to eat is neutral, and is just doing what it does naturally. It is still your foe, even the tiger is just doing trying to feed itself, and does not have some evil plot.

SU's basically follow the same rules as spell with regard to targeting and many other things. It is something that should be stated better, but if you play in anyone's game that is familiar with the rules you wont get a free pass because you used the sleep hex vs the sleep spell.

1. Yes. This is attack. But i am not attacking a creature, i am attacking square under creatures legs. So i am not even doing attack roll against creature. So it looks like "Causing harm indirectly is not an attack." And i am not "The spell ends if the subject attacks any creature." And is it not like fireball, Because it is not a spell. I think, attack creature and deal damage to creature is 2 different things, because i can attack creature using grapple or trip combat maneuvers and not dealing damage.

2. It is AOE spell. Yes. But this spell "Spells that summon monsters or other allies are not attacks because the spells themselves don't harm anyone." Spell itself do not damage. "Summoned" black tentacles attacking creatures in this area and damaging creatures.

3. Can you help me find wording about attacking with abilities? Because i read about attacking with Ranged, meele, natural attack. I read about spells (A spell is a one-time magical effect. Spells come in two types: arcane (cast by bards, sorcerers, and wizards) and divine (cast by clerics, druids, and experienced paladins and rangers). Some spellcasters select their spells from a limited list of spells known, while others have access to a wide variety of options.) and spells may count as attack. But about special abilities - nope. Even if it is magical, even if creature makes saving throw and taking damage, i can not found any wording, that it is attack.

Hello. I have some questions about spell "invisibility", so can you help with them ?

1. The first one is about attacking enemy, using splash weapon. Can i throw bombs, acid or alchemist fire under enemys legs. So i will damage him by splash weapon, but will i stay invisible, becase i "Causing harm indirectly is not an attack" ?
2. The second one is about, for exemple, "black tentacle" spell. Does this spell counts as "For purposes of this spell, an attack includes any spell targeting a foe or whose area or effect includes a foe.". Because, actually, i am not attacking enemy with this spell. I am just summoning black tentacles and they attack enemy.
3. Third one is about Extraordinary Abilities and Supernatural Abilities, like evil eye, or Channel Energy. How can i know, these ability are not spells. So they are not "For purposes of this spell, an attack includes any spell targeting a foe or whose area or effect includes a foe.". Will i stay invisible after using these abilitys ?
4. In "invisibility" spell said "Exactly who is a foe depends on the invisible character's perceptions." So can i attack neutral for me creatures, if they don't know about me, and still stay invisible, because i do not think that thay are my foes ?

P.S. If i have "slumber" hex. And it is works like "sleep" spell. It counts as spell or not ?

Oh, wow. I did not even know about such a good feat ^^ Thanks you. ^^

1. If i have natural attack, do i need to take Improved unarmed strike to take improved grapple ? There is actual rule about it ?
2. To take improved grapple i need to have 13 dex. Why there is such a strange Prerequisite if i do not even need dexterity to make grapple check ? There is some ways to avoid this Prerequisite ?

I have question about white haired witch and her attack. In archetype said "The hair deals 1d4 points of damage (1d3 for a Small witch) plus the witch’s Intelligence modifier." plus 1.5 times your str mod (because you always add that to your attacks, and the archetype doesn't override that). Does it works like this ? Does it means my attack roll don't use my Int modifire and i still need str to have good attack roll ?

Thank you.

Titan Mauler have Jotingrip, which allow hit use Two-Handed weapon in pne hand with -2 penalty, but it must be of appropriately size, so, for example: Medium Greatsword for Human.

Also Titan Mauler have Massive Weapon ability, that allows use Two-Handed weapon for greature, that is larger with additional 4 penalty for size. So human with this ability can use Ogres Greatsword (Because this is Two-Handed weapon for large creature).

How I understand human cant use Ogres Great Sword in one hand, because it isnt appropriately size and Massive Weapons ability only allow use Ogres Greatsword which still isnt appropriately for human?

P.S. Sorry for my English. Isnt my first language, hope you will understand my question.

Hello. About fast bombs discovery and breath weapon bomb discovery. Will it works together or not ?
Because in fast bomb discovery said "create enough bombs to throw more than one in a single round", but with breath weapon bomb u do not throw them, but breeath them.

1. How does it works ? In Undead type said that

Not affected by raise dead and reincarnate spells or abilities. Resurrection and true resurrection can affect undead creatures. These spells turn undead creatures back into the living creatures they were before becoming undead.

But in Ressurection and true ressurection said that

You can resurrect someone killed by a death effect or someone who has been turned into an undead creature and then destroyed. You cannot resurrect someone who has died of old age. Constructs, elementals, outsiders, and undead creatures can't be resurrected.

2. If player multiclassed and has 1 lvl Barbarian and 1 lvl Paladin, than that means that saves from both classes will summed up ?

But at the same time how Innocence spell works then ? Guard want to catch you for some thing and you are like "wait a sec, i want to cast this spell on myself and only after this i will bluff you, but still you will notice this weird thing".

So, the question is about spell casting. And i didn't find it in rule books or in rules so may be you can help me.

So, i want to know, how NPC react on spell casting in pathfinder. Should NPC (And PC also) roll some thing or they just know that you are just casted some thing ? I ask this question because, for example, i want to cast Charm person on NPC or suggestion spell on PC. Do they understand about casted spell and must submit, or they do not understand ? How react on this people around us ?
If i will take material component and start talking weird fake spell, will people around me think that i am casting some real spell ?
Can i cast spells with Verbal and Material component hidden from people around me ?

Hello. I have question about Firm footing in Aquatic terrain. The
supplement about Firm footing says that :"Creatures have firm footing when walking along the bottom, braced against a ship's hull, or the like. A creature can only walk along the bottom if it wears or carries enough gear to weigh itself down: at least 16 pounds for Medium creatures, twice that for each size category larger than Medium, and half that for each size category smaller than Medium."
Does it mean that,when medium creature carry 16 pounds, it may only Firm footing and can't swim or this mean that medium creature may Firm footing only when it carry 16 pounds but also may swim ?
