Human caster with and the advanced players: Racial Heritage (Tengu) and the Tengu feat: long nose form

Long-Nose Form
You can shift into the form of a human with an unusually long nose.

Prerequisites: Character level 3rd, tengu.
Benefit: Once per day, you can assume the form of a human whose nose is the length of your beak. This spell-like ability functions as alter self with a caster level equal to your level. While in this form you gain the scent ability and a +2 bonus to your Strength score. Because your long nose in this form clearly indicates you are not fully human, you do not gain the normal bonus to Disguise checks for using a polymorph effect (however, you could possibly explain the nose as an unfortunate curse or deformity, or hide it with an item such as a plague doctor's mask).

Or you could just soak your fists in the average alchemists urine ..

My spell sundering 'shatter spell' dwarf only feat dwarf brawler used to collect old potion bottles - break them up and dip his wrapped fists in the broken glass kick-boxer stylez !

It was the residual magic that did it !!! and over years and soaking his fists in the blood of innately magical critters some of it stuck ..

Snowballs that stagger, entangle, knock prone, and damage are cramping my game!

Snowball: You conjure a ball of packed ice and snow that you can throw at a single target as a ranged touch attack. The snowball deals 1d6 points of cold damage per caster level (maximum 5d6) on a successful hit, and the target must make a successful Fortitude saving throw or be staggered for 1 round.

Magical Linage trait: snowball

Rime Spell (Metamagic)
Creatures damaged by your spells with the cold descriptor become entangled.

Spirits-
Waves:
Beckoning Chill (Su): When a creature takes cold damage while under this effect, it is entangled for 1 round. If the creature takes cold damage while already entangled by beckoning chill, the duration of the entangled condition increases by 1 round.

Crashing Waves (Su): The force of a waves shaman's water spells can bring even the mightiest of foes to the ground. When the shaman casts a spell with the water descriptor, she does so at 1 caster level higher. If that spell deals damage, the target must succeed at a Fortitude saving throw or be knocked prone. At 8th level, the shaman casts water spells at 2 caster levels higher. At 16th level, her ability to knock creatures prone extends to any spell that deals damage.

Wind:
Vortex Spells (Su): Whenever the shaman confirms a critical hit against an opponent with a spell, the target is staggered for 1 round. At 11th level, the duration increases to 1d4 rounds.

Lore:
Arcane Enlightenment (Su): The shaman's native intelligence grants her the ability to tap into arcane lore. The shaman can add a number of spells from the sorcerer/wizard spell list equal to her Charisma modifier (minimum 1) to the list of shaman spells she can prepare.

Doors open without an action? What is this star wars??

Its all about the modules and module support (good downloads, maps, notes, etc). That made paizo and could make dnd.

Paizo is loosing themselves in following the board active yet minority players in catering with power creep and complexity (read: ever growing sub-optimal choices).

Yet no matter the complexity having good pre-gen modules will keep even those who want less BS - as designing a (good) adventure is more hassle than keeping up with bloat.

Further imbalance makes games - look at rifts the most plageristic game designed by borderline illiterate litigious egomaniac cretins and probable psychopaths. It was its SOLE grace and was almost enough.

Imbalance is what bored players like to carry on about, but at the end of the day, whether they realise it or not they actually like character imbalance.

Some people get enjoyment from rorting and finding loop holes, some people like playing powerful classes and nothing else, some like weaker classes that can be a challenge to play to really test their game mastery and wit, and some people play a class just because they want to, regardless of game benefits.

The 3.0/3.5 rule set offered this and let anyone play the character they enjoy.

It also offered a myriad of rules and class abilities, that allowed players to accumulate rules knowledge from many sources to put together class combinations and rules tricks that tormented DMs, which is also something that brings players enjoyment, and equally, enjoyment to dms in nazi sticking (well some of the time anyway) and watching players lament!

I think some of the 4e nuts and bolts stuff was good. They just totally stuffed up the class abilities side of things (which is what really made classes unique). Imbalance makes pathfinder breath, modules started its heart.

Mature players get over the above games and system support for bullying and for them modules could start dnd.

Exp. with the influence of by art like planescape or other that captures the simple and enhances the imagining summing up their angle..

Further if paizo slips again by focusing on new stuff that invalidates old and estranges their audience like advanced classes at the cost of keeping up with errata -it will open a window for dnd to get a foot hold. Makes any 2nd ed plans tricky (borderline idiotic) - THEIR best bet is to produce a crazy good pathfinder art book with all new iconics and scenes from their best modules, some new AMAZING modules etc and tighten up for a year or two and get super interactive with the community and errata till dnd is forgotten.

I should charge lol

Shocker Lizard farming - matrix style, some enchantment spells and academical goo and INFINITE POWER !!

Till the awakened lizard neo comes and sets his people free !!

Drow cavern sniper (can qualify as human with racial heritage or half-elf with drow blooded.

Amazing fighter archetype looses nothing good and gets a better version of weapon training.

A murder of murder hobos.

Nothing like a symbiotic party of PCs to scare ANY other monster,god etc.

I had a duelist he used crane wing, free hand fighter and a pick (he also used as a jaunty walking cane) and was out damaging the barbarian and had insane AC. Would prob. swap crane wing for turtle style now.

He was monk 2, fighter 4

2 levels of maneuver master monk are golden if you want to use combat maneuvers while still dealing major damage.

DM even ruled pick gets +2 to trip attempts in a remarkable show of logic after some free food ;) it was very unique, he created a new school of dueling and a trend among young nobles - when dueling with a pick everyone's afraid of you as its just a matter of luck!

I'm just saying if I am seeing a caster doing that kind of burning hands damage at my table, 5 archers with long bows suddenly target the player.

You you could audit the character at creation and say no instead of a targeted "rock's fall everybody dies". One is upfront and acceptable. The other is being a passive-aggressive jerk.

This was for PFS anyway, so you are locked to the scenario.

A world without cause and effect is a world without adventure.

Players are educated beyond grade 5 they shouldn't need to be told if you attract attention you become the center of attention. To expect otherwise is being a delusional jerk that wants monsters to pick on other players illogically and unfairly.

darkleaf studded, with mitheral studs for props !

Litany of Righteousness does very little for an inquisitor:

1.They lack the good sub-type or a good aura (class ability) so no x2 damage.

2. In paizo damage doubling does not apply to extra die from bane anyway.

the dazzle effect is about all he should get.

Would have to get eldritch heritage - fey (sylvan) to have a pet pig or cow that eats people for you.

Hello all,

I've got two somewhat different concepts for an arcane melee character but I don't know how to build them or optimize to not be underpowered.

** spoiler omitted **

** spoiler omitted **

Anyone that is good at building these types of character I'd greatly appreciate the assistance and feedback. I'm wondering how do-able either of these are and how powerful or underpowered they'd turn out to be.

I recommend:

1 Gunslinger - martial weapons + gun unlike zappy mcfrosty magus clones, fort and reflex good saves, 4 skill points, grit, access to grit feats, gun tank archetype gives you 25% fortification when you need it with your celestial light but medium armour!

1 Witch - free hex, will good save, better familiar choices, broader spell list with healing, patron that gives the best cleric buffs (Strength: 2nd—divine favor, 4th—bull's strength, 6th—greater magic weapon, 8th—divine power, 10th—righteous might, 12th—bull's strength (mass), 14th—giant form I, 16th—giant form II, 18th—shapechange)

So now your winged casting warrior can cleric buff, heal, arcane cast, hex, melee and shoot at range (touch attacks so can focus feats on melee but deadly aim is worth it and is a stand alone ranged feat).

10 Eldrich Knight
8 Exemplar

Misfortune hex is great because not mind effecting and helps in melee, to avoid attacks of opportunity,win opposed skill checks, win ability (grapple) checks and helps you with getting spells to stick.

Witches have- see invisible, death ward, freedom of movement, heal, heroism, greater heroism, false life, transformation etc to buff

Identify, detect secret doors, augury, blindness, clairvoyance, remove blindness, remove disease, remove curse, tongues, secure shelter, enervation, confusion, reincarnate, baleful polymorph, feeblemind, magic jar, suffocation, teleport, find the path,fleh to stone,legend lore, scry, foresight, mind blank, discern location, power words,horrid wilting, destruction,trap the soul, maze, resurrection, arcane sight, prying eyes, stormbolts and all summons etc to cast.

Watch maguses cry as they realize their all simpletons and plagiarists reliant on others for everything in the face of your full casting divinity !

Lingering Performance won't let you stack shadow puppets.

For true haxxx, play an aasimar bard with Racial Heritage and boost your effective bard level for shadow puppets.

Please elaborate?

As for the original poster lingering performance is semi useless as only 1 performance active at a time.

Semi? the reason only semi useless is there is no reason in round 2 you cannot use it again (after the original summoned creatures have attacked) to summon again and get another summoned creatures full attack. With lingering this becomes cheaper to do (no need to use double bard uses every round after the 1st).

You might get more mileage out of:

Ability Focus
One of this creature's special attacks is particularly difficult to resist.
Prereq
uisite: Special attack.
Benefit: Choose one of the creature's special attacks. Add +2 to the DC for all saving throws against the special attack on which the creature focuses.
Special: A creature can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time the creature takes the feat, it applies to a different special attack.

Later empower spell like ability might be worth it - unfortunately/fortunately now sp abilities scale with level so you would have to use it at a reduced level to empower it but for some summons it might be worth it (like lantern archons).

Playing a bard now some things I learnt:
1st.
'Cord of shards' rocks at 1st (swap it at 5th) : 2d6 to an area makes casters jealous till 3rd and is great for swarms.
'Detect secret doors' earns you money every module and can avoid missing vital must have in module items.
'Alarm' is useful in some campaigns just to know if people are following you or sneaking up behind you.
2nd.
'Heroism' is THE greatest spell
'Blistering Invecive' seems weak but if you are good at intimidate (questionable for a small character) there is NO level where you won't occasionally need a 30ft burst damage effect for minor annoying yet game changing things from swarms/webs/fungus/fogs etc etc)
If you melee 'allegro' = 2 attacks at 4th, if you have high crit melee companions 'gallant inspiration' will turn their failed confirm roll frowns upside-down (and make sure they stay near you 'protectively').
3rd.
'Thundering Drums' + 3000 for a lesser rod of intensify = 7d8 damage at 7th up to 10d8 at 10th and being sonic and a fort save makes even draconic blaster sorcerers cry (ignore elemental resistances AND evasion..mmmm).
'Terrible Remorse' = auto stagger (and maybe damage/waste action if fail save).. it renders impotent any multiple attack creature .
'Jesters Jaunt' = Life saving for a low concentration check and good to give a (non-pounce brigade) meat shield a fast ball special into combat for a full attack.
4th.
'Freedom of Movement','Echolocation','Primal Scream' make you a demigod
5th.
'Deafening Song Bolt' makes you a true damage dealer.

Anyone thought of or using a chocolate printer to make 3D chocolate miniatures?

I am sick of PCs kill stealling and fighting endlessly like its no issue and figure if they had to eat the miniature of what they kill I might hear things at the gaming table like:

'no its your kill' or

'I am buggered I cannot kill another thing'

Make phalactery out of something NOBODY has touched, feed it to a bunny rabbit, cast imprisonment on the bunny rabbit.

= No discern location, no one will use wish or miracle to find some random missing bunny never mind find the spot and cast freedom there.

PS make it a spot easy to destroy after you cast imprisonment - the side of a volcanic mountain, a small island you can disintegrate etc and so even if some gm bs means they find the place they cannot even cast freedom.

Look at book of exalted deeds vow of poverty. It will just end up skewing and destroying the campaign in favor of certain classes.

2nd ed had some settings that were historical/low magic. They don't work unless you disallow casters, remove spell abilities from monsters, add in areas in the world that can cure for free (fonts/springs/standing stones of restore/heal/remove disease pilgrims go to and heroic adventurers get priority etc etc).

In that case it follows that with mystic past life you can be a druid and add things like teleport as a cleric spell.

Because "they are just wizard spells that happen to also be on the cleric spell list."

T’uen-rin

Battle oracles are made for whirlwind attacks. Between enlarge person, righteous might and later the plain scary oracle only 'divine vessel' spell and the 'surprising charge' revelation you become a walking fireball and eventual walking freezing sphere.

Man I love divine vessel - between that, skill points and not having to radiate alignment clerics are dead to me!

Wondering what class/archetype/ feats/spells/ abilities work best to efficiently kill a smart Great Wyrm Red. Paladin oath against wyrms? Admixture blaster converting fire spells to cold? Ranger with favored enemy? What is THE BEST dragonslayer...p.s. race matters, looking to go elf.

Anyone with a holy axiomatic dragon bane bow !

I wanna build a muderhobo admixture wizard and need some advice on build, feats and stuff! level 9 all paizo stuff allowed.

We got a paladin pc who keeps killing our necromancer undeads, im gonna join him up and murder the pally so advice to counter his abilities would be nice!

The necro is a level 6 cleric/3 rogue and will lakely deal with the pally on melee while i murder him on distance. gotta kill him quick because necro is CE and will die in 2 rounds or so, pally extremely optimised and strongest of our party. the CN fighter and LN druid will likely stay out of the fight.

My last pc was a LE sorcerer focused on save spells, that pally totally wrecked him after he bought a cloak of resistance so its best to avoid his saves! Also im gonna go with CN alignment to counter him, ill prolly will end CE but thats after killing the guy.

Thanks for the advices!

Undead are evil. He has no choice but to kill them. Try roleplaying !!

If you go back to Gary Gygaxs own 'Gord the Rogue' books it was sky blue in color but maybe thats an ?oearth? greyhawk thing..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gord_the_Rogue

but thats considered to be poetic licence as

In drow supplements it was black with a green/purple hue. As drow have some serious pull I suppose it stuck.. now plain boring black!

In the faerun "Volo's guide to all things magical" they spent the most effort defining it and there its "Adamant: This is the pure metal form of the hard, jet-black ferromagnetic ore known as adamantite, from which the famous alloy adamantine is made. Adamantine is black, but has a clear green sheen in candlelight-a sheen that sharpens to purple-white under the light given off by most magical radiances and by will-o'-wisps.

Pre-that however they had made some efforts to define it:

Adamantine:
In dragon #36 its "a blue cube dotted with a myriad of bright little specks that looked like imprisoned stars"

There is also an alloy called adamanite in dragon #17, that's "55% black, 25% dark blue, 20% dark green"

The greatest swordsman in Earth history, Musashi Miyamoto, made heavy use of wooden swords. He argued that, in some circumstances, wooden swords were superior to metal ones.

Do you have a quote to back up the bold statement? I'd really like to see it.

One strike can still kill.

Swords DO bend, blunt and shatter on each other,armour and bone unlike hard wood. As do axes/cleavers/top end knives with better metal than they ever had back then - ask any butcher/abattoir worker and they use theirs slowly on totally un-moving targets of known anatomy.

Impact weapons target bones, edged weapons (p/s in dnd terms) target flesh - flesh wounds don't necessarily immobilize or kill instantly exp. with adrenalin and drugs, impact weapons almost always immobilize (a busted arm/leg is busted - even zombies need a intact leg bone to chase) never mind concussion and shock.

Armour doesn't stop a bludgeon just diffuses it a bit.

There is a reason knights used maces and picks more than any other weapon against each other and always had them as back up weapons even vs unarmed/unarmored peasants they barreled past and slashed. Swords are symbolic and showy but are not the lazer blades or even the modern super steels we have today.

Said swordsman above musashi was apparently beaten while using a sword by a guy using a jo (short wooden staff) though that's only written down in the records of the school that staff user went on to create..

People are stupid/trend/culture/peer pressure oriented. look around whats popular is rarely better. Just because swords were romanticized about heaps by those who write as opposed to those actually busy fighting doesn't mean they were superior to impact weapons or spears. Swords never dominated battlefields they saw as much use as knives do in modern war - everyone has one to play with but they weren't the real tool. Yeah daddy might bring his special issue flash knife/sword back from the war (not the 50 cal/mega mace or spear) and soft sonny boy might obsess over it and write some nonsense about it but still its only real action was cleaning nails!

Never mind many sword wielders were from a ruling class that liked playing at fighting and tried not to kill each other. Archaeologists (with relevant experts) have done extensive tests on Grecian arms and armour and roman for 100+ years at some of the older universities. Spears and bludgeons were the only 2 weapons they had that could reliably penetrate/circumvent and slay a person wearing period armour. Javelins (thrown with a shuffle step) also surprisingly had more force than any sword blow.

So 'realistically' (lol) if your ever in a zombie apocalypse use a spear - its silent, reusable (even arrows/bolts bend/break/ruin), keeps them at bay and keeps your distance from splatter (pulling even bolts out of things is mucky wet work). A forward step (lunge) with a 2H spear generates more force than ANY other ancient weapon.

Works as a walking staff, prod/poker/tent and door opener to boot !

Today what are the top 3 best/most effective classes in Pathfinder? Also, does anyone know where I can find great builds for these classes?

Thanks in advance!

If mean power + versatility + get out of jail cards + staying power = witch with healing patron !

More staying power than fighter (hexes are infinite exp. with 'accursed hex') and can cast restoration and disease).

Full casting + early access compared to sorc/oracle.

Hexes to infinitely boost summoned monsters (buy a ring of invisibility).

Skills.

All terrain - air bubble (1st) or easy sea witch archetype, fly, remove blindness and curses, freedom of movement, divination, teleport, find the path, reincarnate (for soft allies), planeshift etc etc etc

Can create secure shelter at night so npc experts with minimum stat buy cannot put their 2H digging pick or farming scythe through your head at night !

All others are dependent or hoping they don't meet certain threats or at most not too many threats and at convenient times!

None - but they really have to stop giving fighter only feats to non-fighters!!! That act epitomizes design immaturity bordering on idiocy: its what a tween would do.. its unique/cool/specific to a class SO i will make a 'different' class have these impossible cherry picks I want - OMG thats SOOOO creative, cool and unique crying lol

The standard:

Human Qigong Martial Artist Mantis Style Monk
B Mantis Style, 1 Weapon Focus, B1 Dodge, B2 Deflect Arrows, 3 Ability Focus (stunning), 5 Specialization ..

Oread Qigong Tetori
Bonus: 1.Improved Grapple, 2 Stunning Pin, 6 Greater Grapple, 10 Pinning Knockout, 14 Choke Hold, 18 Neckbreaker.
1. Snapping Turtle Style, 3. Snapping Turtle Clutch, 5. Snapping Tutle Shell, 7. Weapon Focus, 9. Rapid Grappler, 11. Pinning Rend
B. Barkskin (7th), Whirlwind attack (11th), Abundant step (15th), ? (20th)

Zen Archer Monk (they build themselves)

A crit fishing Mater of Many Styles/Sacred Mountain/Hungry Ghost with a temple sword for infinite ki and healing with a high AC. Maybe some dragon, overrun and panther style (nothing like booting people 10ft when they attack you for moving past)

Is there any other monk build easily played 1 to 20th that pulls its weight?

Samurai don't get the bonuses to hit fighters/barbarians/rangers get and as such -2 hit for +1 damage is sub-optimal at best. It will bite!

Inspired and cool back story. If its a dex build you could use the tanto your master committed seppuku with as your wakasashi.

Social/fun/freedom can't go wrong!

Wanderer (Monk)
Some monks wander the world in humility to learn and to share wisdom and philosophy from their teachers with those they meet, often aiding those who are in need. A wanderer has the following class features.

Class Skills: The wanderer adds Diplomacy, Knowledge (geography), Knowledge (local), Linguistics, and Survival to his list of class skills.

Far Traveler (Ex): At 1st level, the wanderer gains either one additional language known or proficiency in one exotic or martial weapon. At 4th level and every four levels thereafter, the wanderer may gain an additional language known or may retrain her weapon proficiency from this ability to a different exotic or martial weapon. This ability replaces the bonus feat gained at 1st level.

Long Walk (Ex): At 3rd level, the wanderer gains Endurance as a bonus feat, and the feat bonus doubles when he makes Constitution checks because of a forced march. In addition, a wanderer gains a +2 bonus on saving throws against spells and effects that cause exhaustion and fatigue. This ability replaces still mind.

Light Step (Su): At 5th level, a wanderer leaves no trail and cannot be tracked, though he can leave a trail if desired. By spending 1 point from his ki pool, he can use ant haul, feather step, longstrider, pass without trace, or tireless pursuit as a spell-like ability (with a caster level equal to his monk level). This ability replaces slow fall.

Inscrutable (Su): At 5th level, the wanderer gains a supernatural air of mystery. The DC to gain information or insight into the wanderer with Diplomacy, Knowledge skills, or Sense Motive increases by 5. In addition, by spending 1 point from his ki pool, the wanderer gains nondetection for 24 hours with a caster level equal to his monk level. This ability replaces high jump.

Wanderer's Wisdom (Ex): At 7th level, the wanderer can dispense excellent advice in the form of philosophical proverbs and parables. As a swift action, the wanderer can inspire courage or inspire competence as a bard of his monk level by spending 2 points from his ki pool. This affects one creature within 30 feet and lasts a number of rounds equal to the wanderer's Wisdom modifier (minimum 1 round). This ability is language-dependent. This ability replaces wholeness of body.

Disappear Unnoticed (Ex): At 12th level, the wanderer may use Stealth to hide even while being directly observed or when no cover or concealment is available, as long as he is adjacent to at least one creature of his size or larger, by spending 1 point from his ki pool. This effect lasts until the beginning of the wanderer's next turn and may be continued in consecutive rounds by spending 1 ki point each round. This ability replaces abundant step.

Free Step (Su): At 13th level, the wanderer gains continuous freedom of movement as a continuous spell-like ability. This ability replaces diamond soul.

A comparison of racial class bonuses -

I have ignored 3rd party sources.

This is intended as a tool in the toolbox it’s also for DMs who like some depth to cause and effect in their game worlds. You can really fluff out a world with the information indicated. Much can be inferred from favored archetypes from what professions races have long traditions (and thus development off), which callings they encourage/honor/respect), how communal they are, the value they place on stories and entertainment, knightly traditions, mounts and beasts of burden, traditional religious figures, oracular cult leaders or naturists, how much they favor martial, barbaric or cerebral pursuits etc and lastly specific racial archetypes indicate a standing of tradition, respect and its counter: expectation within racial groups.

I have not color coded entries poor to excellent as I neither want to encourage predictable builds nor think it possible to predict creative build outcomes in a cogent fashion from favored class bonuses from this starting point. Simple concordances are readily apparent but for a deeper look at build strength one needs consider racial stats, archetypes, traits, feats, build choices and the final combined outcome. It’s not red to blue and I want to avoid this becoming a forum through which to infect your creativity with opinion.

I have done some coding:
Underline = has a racial class of said type.

It should be noted that Half-Elves can choose from the Human and Elf lists and Half-Orcs can choose from the Human and Orc lists!

At the bottom is a list of races that get (sp) abilities and their equivocal level for those who wish to qualify for prestige classes.

The class guides all have race suggestions should they be sought. There is a detailed race guide some were as well.

For those with RPG limits that enhance the play experience/world coherence but limit racial choices I have grouped the following alphabetically as the rulebook by core, featured, uncommon:

I have underlined Races that have a racial specific archetype.

If there is a spell you REALLY like and intend on investing some traits and feat s in then you can always get round the above with:

Preferred Spell (APG)

You find it very easy to cast one particular spell.

Prerequisites: Spellcraft 5 ranks, Heighten Spell.

Benefit: Choose one spell which you have the ability to cast. You can cast that spell spontaneously by sacrificing a prepared spell or spell slot of equal or higher level. You can apply any metamagic feats you possess to this spell when you cast it. This increases the minimum level of the prepared spell or spell slot you must sacrifice in order to cast it but does not affect the casting time.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a different spell.

Posts that are irrelevant to your game (like 'i have a build called pun pun that does quadbillion damage at level 5') serve no other purpose than to prove the power of the syth. Weak to normal builds NEVER illicit such defensive responses, never mind ones that use theoretical mass damage as some ?argument? to try and obfuscate powerful,playable and survivable builds.

You need to be dressed by your mum. Trust me underpants CAN be broken...and its NOT a good look !!

I have a GM boon for an undine character for PFS. What class/archetype do you think would fit this race best flavorwise?

Undine make fun though left field sorcerers:

Cross blooded (your undine wis bonus and wis focus easily makes up for the -2 will saves)
Celestial(Empyreal) blood = wis instead of chr caster +
Aquatic blood + undine = +2 caster level water spells

get the Undine Hydraulic maneuvers feat at 1st.

Take the gifted adept or magical linage trait for the hydraulic push spell.
Now for a 1st level spell (and your racial sp ability) you can bull rush, disarm, dirty trick (blind or dazzle, or trip at +2 level at range. Fun at all levels - its rare for a 1st level spell to be as great at 1st as 20th and this is one that is. Also means at high level have a use for those 1st slots and something good to quicken.

Having dual selection makes for constant nice bonus spells, feats and bloodline abilities that singularly these bloodlines lack. Some healing doesn't ever hurt.

Carry some hankies for the warriors who dedicated their life and feats to being good at one of disarm/trip/dirty trick/bull rush!

Even works for agood RP back story the MONADIC DEVA is an aquatic celesial:
http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/additionalMonsters/angel.html#_angel,-mo nadic-deva

Can they? Is it a rare vestigial ability like it is in humans? If it isn't possible through conscious effort, what about reflexive? If you were to jump out and shout 'Boo' at an elf would their ears move in surprise? If it is possible with conscious effort, could an Elven bard use Perform (Percussion) with chimes/bells/etc. attached to their ears?

Not for any benefit or game effect to get extra actions.

But pretty sure they can move their ears anywhere .. with the help of a dwarven war axe of course !

I will say that Nathanael has remained fairly civil throughout this argument, despite being repeatedly patronized or insulted. As absurd as I personally find his opinions, that's, just, like, y'know, my opinion, man. The inclusion of an insult isn't going to make your argument any more compelling.

He has reiterated his opinion over and over without proof.

He has not answered concerns or countered obvious examples of their power.

Poor form

It is a standard action. I don't see how you could sting and go invisible on the same turn.

Really? your invisible.. just stand where the creature you want to sting is likely to go - get your attack of opportunity and then as your actual action turn invisible and repeat!

This is a fun game that I have seen before, so I want to try it myself. This is Round One. I will write out 10 Hooks. I will leave the voting up to you guys for one week. One vote per hook. Whichever hook with the most votes wins and then I will create Round Two with another vote on different aspects of the world. No cheating, not even from me. It could create something interesting or not, lets see where it goes:

1. It is a fantastic world created from a dream by an unknown god, where dreams, fantasies, and nightmares come true.

2. It is an apocalyptic world in the distant future of a broken planet, where magic has replaced technology and the races struggle to survive in a chaotic environment.

3. It is a desert world under the bright light of two suns, where the hostile environment has breed harsh magic, gods, creatures, and treasures.

4. It is a chaotic world governed by mad gods, wild magic, fierce creatures, and lost treasures.

5. It is an elemental world where fire, water, earth, wind, and void take shape and the races are caught in the middle of their ancient struggle.

6. It is a lost world where magic and miracles have run wild and the gods have long abandoned their people, who are seeking a Savior to save them.

7. It is a fantasy, medieval style world with magical creatures, races, gods, miracles, and mysterious dungeons.

8. It is a world in a constant war, since the dawn of time, and factions fight each other to the death until the Apocalypse.

9. It is a world where everyone can cast a spell, except for those called the "Spelless", but there is a dark power that is eating magic.

10. It is a savage world where characters use magic and ancient technology to find lost kingdoms, treasures, artifacts, and knowledge.

Combine the best bits of all - that work for an identifiable concept supported with imagery from comic/book/movie/gaming.

A post-apocalyptic dying desert world. Under the bright light of a broken sun, where magic has replaced technology and the the hostile environment produces harsh creatures, people and the races struggle to survive in the chaotic magically charged environment. Yet ancient treasures and monstrosities are sometimes found (modern gun rules). The world seems lost as faith and gods seem a thing of mere legend noted on ancient manuscript, ironic as magic runs wild touching all even as elemental schools dominate the control of schooled magic.
Yet there are legends of 'chosen ones' the saviours who will bring faith (and so 'reawaken' divine magic) back and usher in the return of a balanced/green world.
There is also a prophesy that should balance return, magic will dim and fail as life energy is returned to the solar vessel. So even the divine magic that will be needed to usher in this transformation will fade into mere faith.
Some refuse to give up THEIR power and awakening power, even if it means the world dies.

They go to the mythic characters god (through a bunch of mythic angels/deamons).

Its a pyramid scheme! Mythics think their important but their WAY below gods and there are hundreds of mythic planar creatures above them.

So I am gearing up to run Mummy's Mask, and have a player considering playing an invulnerable rager. What do you people think? Is it too powerful?

On a note, I am also running what is likely to be a 5 man team, so I am anticipating having to up the encounters at times.

No one will ever say anything is to powerful in answer to a question here. All will assume some situational position/build and circumstance where casters are better and buy into the whole nonsense of tiers and other assorted masquerades and shenanigans.

From the above however you can already gather
1. Barbarians are at their most basic a very good martial class.
2. Invulnerable rager is the cream of the barbarian crop.

Assuming the player has chosen this build because their a good mechanical builder, or more likely their are plagiarists that cherry pick from guides without thought for the game, role playing, creativity, character or concepts like freedom of will - it really comes down to the other players. If they are not building to equal standards sooner or later they will be marginalized and the barbarian will be bored.

Its more about having a balanced functional party where all get equal time and contribution (and so your responses and npc power increasing will effect all equally).

Only you who sees all the characters/knows them/their skill level can judge that.

The subject line really says it all but to reiterate, is there any real life language that comes to mind when you think of the halfling language in terms of sound and tone? It's one of those languages that is basically a core language but I almost never see referenced or built onto and I'm looking for some ideas.

CANNON: The influence of the Welsh language, which Tolkein had learnt, is summarised in his essay English and Welsh: "If I may once more refer to my work. The Lord of the Rings, in evidence: the names of persons and places in this story were mainly composed on patterns deliberately modelled on those of Welsh (closely similar but not identical). This clement in the tale has given perhaps more pleasure to more readers than anything else in it".

It has also been suggested that The Shire and its surroundings were based on the countryside around Stonyhurst College in Lancashire where Tolkien frequently stayed during the 1940s.

What a shame,My googlefu failed I couldn't find a midgit from lancashire speaking welsh.. my faith in the internet is in crisis !!!

Lack of cause and effect, lack of niche classes and roles ruins games time and time again.

We all have the urge to play good necromancers,neutral paladins, lawful barbarians and chaotic monks..we all want the candy of some class or other without the penalties. If we are really deluded we might think its a original or unique idea exclusive to our genius. Its really just a predictable want for candy without consequence.

And they should have changed fighters so they can shoot magic missiles and fireballs!

Racial Heritage (dwarf) so can take their cavalier favored class option for +50% damage challenges, Weapon Focus, Specialization, Power Attack, Furious Focus, Pushing Assault (so swap one attack for one attack), Iron Will, perhaps Toughness, vital strike and the human feats Defiant Luck, Heroic Will.

Perhaps steel soul if your DM recons you don't need the base trait to enhance it.. +4 saves is pretty okay!

Easiest... either have to say '....' is dead or have it cast it on yourself (Target one creature or object) so works when you die!

MAGIC MOUTH
School illusion (glamer); Level bard 1, sorcerer/wizard 2
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M (a small bit of honeycomb and jade dust worth 10 gp)
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target one creature or object
Duration permanent until discharged
Saving Throw Will negates (object); Spell Resistance yes (object)
This spell imbues the chosen object or creature with an enchanted mouth that suddenly appears and speaks its message the next time a specified event occurs. The message, which must be 25 or fewer words long, can be in any language known by you and can be delivered over a period of 10 minutes. The mouth cannot utter verbal components, use command words, or activate magical effects. It does, however, move according to the words articulated; if it were placed upon a statue, the mouth of the statue would move and appear to speak. Magic mouth can also be placed upon a tree, rock, or any other object or creature.

The spell functions when specific conditions are fulfilled according to your command as set in the spell. Commands can be as general or as detailed as desired, although only visual and audible triggers can be used. Triggers react to what appears to be the case. Disguises and illusions can fool them. Normal darkness does not defeat a visual trigger, but magical darkness or invisibility does. Silent movement or magical silence defeats audible triggers. Audible triggers can be keyed to general types of noises or to a specific noise or spoken word. Actions can serve as triggers if they are visible or audible. A magic mouth cannot distinguish alignment, level, Hit Dice, or class except by external garb.

The range limit of a trigger is 15 feet per caster level, so a 6th-level caster can command a magic mouth to respond to triggers as far as 90 feet away. Regardless of range, the mouth can respond only to visible or audible triggers and actions in line of sight or within hearing distance.

Magic mouth can be made permanent with a permanency spell.

Gods have followers - some are clerics, most are low level, some are high level.
Gods have allies,lovers and friends who are powerful.
Gods have allies, lovers and friends who are gods.
Gods have family who are gods or demi-gods.
Gods have divine emissaries.
Gods have hundreds of thousands of angelic (or other supremely powerful outsider) followers.
Gods have enemies who are gods and might just think its THEIR destiny to kill/imprison/marry/enslave that god and will take issue at upstart mortals trying.

So basically the PCs will be discern located and thousands of buffed 20th level semi-retired pcs, solars (love those arrows of slaying), demi gods, gods, divine emissaries will gate in and mob them day and night without respite till their beyond dead.

Samuri Sword Saint - 2h power attack + arcane strike + specialization + challenge (level or level x 1.5 if dwarf) + str x 1.5 + 4d6 iajutsu strike + shaken effect + potential order bonus
(The combo of 'sneak attack', specialization, and challenge.. is hard to beat.)

Or if you can hack being a selfless mercy granting law abiding paladin,ANY single class pally build above with warrior of the holy light archetype and some extra lay on hands feats and from ultimate magic ....

Radiant Charge
When you charge, you do so with the power of faith.
Prerequisite: Lay on hands class feature.
Benefit: When you hit with a charge attack, you can expend all of your remaining uses of lay on hands to deal extra damage equal to 1d6 per use of lay on hands expended + your Charisma bonus. This damage comes from holy power and is not subject to damage reduction, energy immunities, or energy resistances.
