Looking through it i think i found a rather worthless alternate favored class bonus. With the ratfolk one for rogues you trade 1 skill point for 1/2 bonus on escape artist checks seriously? Hows that even make it into a book


Weapon Expertise (Ex): At 3rd level, a samurai gains an unparalleled expertise with his chosen weapons. At 3rd level, the samurai selects either the katana, longbow, naginata, or wakizashi. The samurai can draw the selected weapon as a free action as if he had the Quick Draw feat. In addition, whenever he threatens a critical hit with the selected weapon, he gains a +2 bonus on the confirmation roll. Finally, his samurai levels stack with any fighter levels he possesses for the purposes of meeting the prerequisites for feats that specifically select his chosen weapon, such as Weapon Specialization.

i know this is probably an obvious answer, but do i have to have fighter levels to gain the benefit of fighter feats with my focus weapon or can i just stay full samurai and pick up say weapon specialization?


im looking at making a synthesist summoner for an upcoming game and im wondering how you go about healing it? do normal cure spells work or do i need an eidolon specific heal?


like the title says why would i use a rifle over a pistol as a full gunslinger? it seems rather restrictive on iterative attacks every round. sorry if this is phrased bad its late at night for me


if i supply the masterwork weapon to be enchanted. whats my cost? sorry if its the wrong forum i cant fin the answer anywhere


with the release of ultimate combat ive decided to update my paladin. i really like the holy gun archtype but it seems the best way to make it even a little effective is with 1 level of gunslinger(mysterious stranger/pistolero). with that combination i get grit base off of charisma and a minor boost to pistols being the cheapest advanced firearm.

im mostly looking for input if this is a worthwhile plan or shoul i just scrap it and keep my old paladin the way he was


4 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

if taken for each pet does it affect my druid level for them? im sorry if its poorly worded im not sure how to get it across


as it seems the forum ate my original post i was just wondering purely from a character options standpoint(feats/spells and so on) is it worth it? we are real hit/miss on fluff of a setting. i fully intend to buy it if there are enough Pros to Cons


as the title states im working on a halfling paladin level 8 25point buy. we are alowed to use the phb/beastiary 1&2/apg. normally id be able to sort something out but this is really rather unorthodox and i have never in my gaming history played a mounted character.i will need help with a mount as well due to inexperience.

im inclined to take the APG shining knight path for its assorted bonuses if its not worth it let me know. im also planning on taking the halfling outrider alternate race trait.

ideally id like to charge in for a big hit with a lance than quick draw into something more appropriate for a melee beatdown but i am open to suggetions.

so i turn to you forum gurus for tips and tricks for my mounted crusader of justice!

quick edit here: I was wondering if giving up spells was worth taking the warrior of the holy light alternate package.


first question is it possible to sneak attack with touch spells (like say shocking grasp)

which brings me to my next question i dont quite understand how costs work with putting spell use on magic items. im trying to work out the cost of a set of gloves that let you shocking grasp(5th level caster) 1-3 times per day.

sorry if im in the wrong forum for the second question


im not sure on the rules but if you have a +1 weapon and put flaming and shock onto it do the bonuses stack? would i be doing 2d6 additional damage? is that magus only or is it universal for magic weapons? i am sorry if its the wrong forum to be askin this


if you say have a flaming/shock sword can you have both active at once?


i was wondering if there was anywhere we can look at costs of buildings


when you have the biped form does picking slam to replace the base forms claws do you get 1 slam or 2? if its just one that seems rather lackluster but it could just be me missing the overall picture like i do from time to time


does the feat improved natural attack stack wiht the eidolon evolution improved damage?


1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

so we have conflicting opions are something im sure is really simple. is a full attack considered an attack action for feats like vital strike? or anything that requires you to make an attack action


now i rarely dm but i wonder from a player perspective would the beastiary 2 be worth it? are there many new races familiars or animal companions? im real hesitant on this purchase. thanks in advance guys/gals


like the title says im interested in making a worthwhile kobold character. class isnt a big deal but i dont forsee many worthy martial builds coming from this.

we are level 6 using 25 pointbuy and the standard creation rules.
the only books we can use are the pathfinder books(apg/phb and the like) so to you oh mighty pathfinder masses lets see what we can come up with.

i was thinking wizard or druid but the only wizard ive played is evocation spec'd and i have read its just a bad choice i dont know how i would play one that isnt. our party is rather bloodthirsty so i dont know quite where a non damage char would fit into it


As the title states can you channel positive energy in a grapple?


i really like the idea of lion/bear but i cant bring myself to build around it i want a pretty hard hitting melee druid while not ignoring the caster side. we are using 25 point buy and are currently level 2 with access to just the core books(a player complained so we stopped using 3rd party books). i like the idea of running into melee with claws and other such natural attacks. so forum gurus can you help a poor man out?

i apologize if this post is a mess ask me and ill clear anything up. thanks in advance


With its ability to remove fatigue does that mean he never needs to sleep or are we missing some rules. We spent 15 minutes arguing to no avail. Please help


i dont know if this should go in advice or here. but we are starting the first book this weekend and im making a druid are there any setting specific animal companions i could use? right now its a toss-up of dire bat(for fun) or a t-rex.

if its the wrong forum i apologize for wasting your time


this is probably me being dumb but with the extra revelation feat does it have to be from your mystery or can it be from any?


as the title says im looking to make a kobold witch. sub-optimal sure but it just seems fun as hell. i dont know how to go about doing it so i turn to you oh wise ones help this poor soul make his cackling kobold work.

i know i wont be the the most astounding combatant but i was looking to use hexes to debuff/buff and hopefully augment some damage with the spells thats about all i have planned. sorry if theres bad grammar and punctuation thanks in advance!


unless i read something wrong(not near my book currently)to qualify it seems gnomes have to be middle aged. is that right?


i was just wondering how you guys would create favor/fluff on a male witch. the only thing i could come up with was a witch doctor type of deal or a crazy swamp dude not very creative i know. so forumites what would you do?


essentially do casters need to get precise shot to avoid the firing into melee with ranged touch. kinda confused on this please help. thanks in advance


like the title says how can you make sure that the other players keep track of the bonuses. i really enjoy the bard but this constant problem is enough of a deterrent where it isnt worth playin one


Do players have acess to the alternate tiefling features in the first book or is it up to dm discretion?


howdy, i am about to start playing in the council of thieves adventure path and wanted some tips and suggestions.

I dont know if its a good or bad plan but i wanted to play a tiefling heading towards the eldritch knight(disciple? its late and i cant remember) prestige class.i would like to start as a wizard preferably but if there is a better route to go i am open to suggestions. so oh great forumites please bless me with your knowledge and wisdom and help me with this character. i thank thee in advance!


i dont quite know if this is the right forum but i was wondering if there was a good way to go about making one that uses the elven curve blade and eventually the improved crit feats. im not so well versed in the pathfinder universe. thanks in advance and sorry if its the wrong forum
