roll init please. You see something Wyran and Samara. This creature looks like an animated, yet dead, moss-covered tree. Its bark is darkened with age and no leaves appear on its branches. It is gargantuan!

It DID say "others with approval", and players can play some "monster races", but it's fine. I'll take something else. It was just a way to try and make him a good damage dealer. =)

The only "monster" race I allow is goblin and that is largely for comic relief. Even if I allowed it which I am not you would be looking at appropriate orc and NOT bugbear feats. I have a listing of my approved sources in Campaign info. I know most gamers ignore it, but I have to get a limit somewhere. I looked at the Orc feats and most were really not appropriate for a half-orc player character.

I added 101 Pirate and Privateer Traits because I was running Razor Coast and Skull&Shackles two pirate based games. I bought it to use in the two campaigns. In fact, I am still running Skull&Shackles. Since I allowed it for those games, I allow it for the rest of my games also. I have the Monster Codex. Everything in it is specifically for monsters from Boggards to Vampires. This is why while I like d20pfrpg.net as a resource, to rely on it alone for a source is a problem. You miss the context that the feats, etc are designed for. My rule since I started Pathfinder is that I won't allow something if I don't own it. I do, however have an extensive library mostly in hard cover but also in pdf. Please read the source and it will be less arbitrary. And FYI, there are pirates in the RA area and you may encounter them!

NAVIGAT1NG TH1S BOOK
Each of this book's 20 chapters details a specific monster
race. At the end ofthe introductory material for each chapter,
you'll find a reference indicating in which Bestiary volume
you can find the base statistics for that particular monster.

BUGBEAR FEATS
The following feats are common among bugbears.
....
Hurtful (Combat)
You know how to add injury to insult.

Prerequisites: Str 13, Power Attack.
Benefit: When you successfully demoralize an opponent
within your melee reach with an Intimidate check, you can
make a single melee attack against that creature as a swift
action. If your attack fails to damage the target, its shaken
condition from being demoralized immediately ends.

If there was something in there for players I would be more inclined to allow it, but none of it is.

One skeleton attacks Terodius with one sword
short sword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 plus STR damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1
and Jim with the other
short sword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 plus STR damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

The other skeleton attacks Daniel with both swords
short sword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 plus STR damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3
short sword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2 plus STR damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Initivive Order Round Two
Black Skeletons
Ciri
Jim
Korbin
Terodius
Daniel
Garrett

DM/NPC Garrett as he is out of town. I will have him attempt to tumble to the other side of the skeleton
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36

And attack with his spiked guantlet
guantlet: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 29 damage: 1d3 + 1 + 4d6 - 10 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (4, 1, 2, 5) - 10 = 6
confirm crit: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 10 additional damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Terodius HP 42 -4 +16 = 54 /63, 3 STR Damage

Daniel calls out "They are best hurt with holy blunt weapons. Die in the name of Mitra!" ...

Terodius drops his longsword, calling out "Mitra aid me!" As white light shines around the silvered studs of his cestus, he wades into the skeleton that attacked him...

Free action - drop longsword
swift action - activate bane ability (undead) on cestus
standard action - full attack with haste on pink

[dice=Attack A]1d20+6+5-1+2+2+1
+6 bab +5 str -1 str damage +2 heroism +2 bane +1 haste
[dice=damage A]1d4+5-1+2+2+2d6
+5 str -1 str damage +2 heroism +2 enhancement (bane) +2d6 bane

[dice=Attack B]1d20+6+5-1+2+2+1-5
+6 bab +5 str -1 str damage +2 heroism +2 bane +1 haste-5 iterative
[dice=damage B]1d4+5-1+2+2+2d6
+5 str -1 str damage +2 heroism +2 enhancement (bane) +2d6 bane

[dice=Attack, Extra Attack from Haste]1d20+6+5-1+2+2+1
+6 bab +5 str -1 str damage +2 heroism +2 bane +1 haste
[dice=damage A, Extra Attack from Haste]1d4+5-1+2+2+2d6
+5 str -1 str damage +2 heroism +2 enhancement (bane) +2d6 bane

The cestus overcomes the blunt part but bane is neither holy nor good so the DR remains. You hit twice for 12 hp. The haste attack misses.

I have requested Zenneck replace the feat also. I was suspucious of the source upon first seing it, but was busy with so many others that I did not look further into it. When I opened the Codex, I noticed it is a Bubear feat.

Zenneck, you need to replace the feat hurtful. It is from an unallowed source. My allowed sources are in the Campaign info. I have been rather liberal of other sources, but the Monster Codex is NOT allowed for player characters. It is for DMs. And the feat in question is a Bugbear feat. Last I saw you are NOT a Bugbear. I further examined the feat looking into another player in another game. Please chose another feat.

Ok, I have Jim next to me. I have solo tactics and the Lastwall Phalanx feat, which would push my AC to 29 (assuming these undead are evil), so the crit wouldn't confirm. But are these skeletons considered to be followers of Set? If so, that would be another +1 to AC and the attack would miss entirely. And I need to know this to caculate my attack...

Black Skeletons are evil incarnate They follow no one.

Daniel calls out "They are best hurt with holy blunt weapons. Die in the name of Mitra!" With that knowledge he smites the one he is attacking. +4 to hit +9 dam

[dice=+2 Shocking Longsword Haste PA] 1d20+18-3+4 [dice=Damage]1d8+11+9+1d6+9

He crumbles to dust.

The leader barks Princess, Pnessutt sends his regards.

As the skeletons attack, Daniel turns and engages the closest near Ciri.

[dice=Kn: Religion]1d20+12 to determine if there are any special defenses.

[dice=+2 Shocking Longsword 1st PA] 1d20+18-3 [dice=Damage]1d8+11+9+1d6
[dice=+2 Shocking Longsword 2nd PA] 1d20+13-3 [dice=Damage]1d8+11+9+1d6

They have DR 10/bludgeoning and good. You hit once for 17. As Ciri casy haste you are entitled to one more attack.

Sorry. Should have labeled the roll. Height and weight.

4 ft. 10 in. 120 lbs. 2d10 ×5 lbs.

Sorry for the confusion.
[dice=HP roll]2d8 Ouch!

From 14 to 6, I will let you reroll that.

So how's it going Morgan?

it is for his character in my home game that I have made remote play

Three black skeletons appear behind the party and attack

confirm crit Terodius: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 extra damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2 plus STR damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

The last hammerhead attacks Dobra

bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

sorry that was supposed to be everyone but the front to make a Perception check But since you rolled it Monkey man you can hear rustling in the trees from the southeast.

From th SRD: If a creature’s nonlethal damage is equal to his total maximum hit points (not his current hit points), all further nonlethal damage is treated as lethal damage.

1)Hitting a held opponent to knock him out is ok, assasinating him is another. FYI, Josef Mengele died of a stroke. My family left Russia to escape the pogrom. I have no love for nazis, but they are best tried, convicted and hung or imprisioned for life.

2)You might be able to justify knocking him out hitting him up but following it up with hurtful goes beyond the pail and does damage that guarantees that you will kill him

3)I have a problem playing a slayer in the first place, IMHO they are evil and I will not allow evil characters or abilities.

4)You may not be a Paladin, but you are Lawful Good and especially with four Lions of Mitra to not give quarter to a held opponent is murder in their eyes and they WILL withhold their aid and your connection to Mitra

5) The crux of this discussion is the feat hurtful. It is from an unallowed source. My allowed sources are in the Campaign info. I have been rather liberal of other sources, but the Monster Codex is NOT allowed for player characters. It is for DMs. And the feat in question is a Bugbear feat. Last I saw you are NOT a Bugbear. You are also a member of a Lawful Good party.

I thought you're playing a Cleric? So why are you rolling D 10s clerics have a D8.

About the time you're about to make camp the worg's bolt. Everyone the two in front make Perception checks.

Dobra's bleed damage killed the Sahaughin while his attack. Killed the shark. The remaining Sahaughin swims and attacks Emma:

trident: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

The druid of few words winks at Helgash.

Costello still hasn't changed his doubtful expression, but the rhinoceros figures worse case scenario they all get new blankets at some point...

Abbott high fives everyone else as they begin to continue the trek with their newest probably trust worthy... company!

Once they get moving again, the goblin sides up to the trio of worgs.
Youses gots names? Mees Abbott, druid of the nature's. Dis bees Costello. He bees a bit of da sourpuss.

Costello seems nonchalant about the description.

Ize be Rootsnarl, de are Rukthar, Barghast and Zarnok. I used Hunt alone, but nasty wandering adventurers make havoc of forest So teamed up but these pups He deliberately change to common and gave a small smirk

not a problem Garrett

sure

Thanks GM - but bite attacks are B/P/S (emphasis on P) so they deal full damage underwater, unless I'm missing something. When you say the shark has a CMD of 22, are you talking about his mount, or the sahuagin itself? I was attacking the sahuagin, of course, so I don't understand why the CMD of the shark matters (again, I may be missing something here, so apologies if it's the case).

I did a google search I did quite a bit of research on this and entered our scenario, Here is its recommendation:

Recommended DM Ruling for Your TableTo keep the encounter balanced and acknowledge the shark's presence without breaking core mechanics, use this ruling:Enforce the Sahuagin's CMD: If they targeted the rider, use the Sahuagin's CMD

I can give you the full damage but note:
Raging Grappler (Ex)
While raging, you grapple your foes with the power and viciousness of a river crocodile.

Benefit(s): As long as you are raging, whenever you succeed at a check to start a grapple, you can choose to deal damage as if you had also succeeded at a check to maintain the grapple. In addition, while rag, whenever you succeed at a combat maneuver check to maintain a grapple, you can choose to give yourself, the target of your grapple, or both the prone condition as a free action while continuing to maintain the grapple.
No where does it allow you to start a grapple which requires a standard action.
Humanoid creatures without two free hands attempting to grapple a foe take a –4 penalty on the combat maneuver roll. Ypur weapon

he is held so pretty much

Abbott smiles innocently at the worgs.

Howdy fellas! Wees bees going to explore that there dungeon. You fellas want to tag along and perhaps eats some stupid cultists?

Costello seems on the fence about this working....

roll a diplomacy

GM, Dobra auto succeeds at this DC. Did his attack and grapple succeed?

[dice=Swim]1d20+12+5

As he is riding a Hammerhead you have a minus two to grapple for being underwater and the shark as a CMD of 22 do you fail. Your attack succeeds but does half damage being under water.

The outloads take the rations and take their leave. The rest of the night it's quiet You start traveling again in the morning. About noon four worgs start trailing the party.

Ever since our land has been filled with scurrilous nobles, predatory knights, and fortune-seekers of all kinds. Making us little more than outlaws.

Three hammer heads converge on Dobra, shark style
bite[/dice: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
bite[/dice: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
bite[/dice: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Well the three Sahaghuins attempt to continue to disable the rudder

Head still above water, Dobra yells towards the people on the ship.

"'Tis the long-legged sharkmen!" - he says, as precisely as a goblin usually is - "Three of them sea devils."

He then proceeds to get underwater and move towards the closest one. He rages as he gets there, his hands extending into claws, and his teeth looking even sharper. He assumes a fighting style that looks like a shark itself.

[dice=Attack (Bite)]1d20+12
[dice=Damage]1d6+7
[dice=Extra Damage (Bleed)]1d6 From Shark Style

[dice=CMB (Grapple)]1d20+18
[dice=Damage]1d6+7 Due to Raging Grappler, he damages if he succeeds the check to start a grapple
[dice=Extra Damage (Bleed)]1d6 From Shark Style

Dobra has no swim speed, so he can't "5-foot step" - so he will move, enter shark style as a swift, rage as a free, and attack as a standard. Attack has grab, so he will try to grapple as well if the bite succeeds.

You do need to be to make a swim check to move a a quarter of your speed, DC 10

Spectrum was out all last night and Just came on this morning.
