My DM wasn't sure if I would keep it so I figured I would ask the community, thanks.


I am playing a Kitsune in a campaign and his goal is to become a vampire. Becoming a vampire makes you an undead with the augmented subtype. Does this mean that I lose the ability to shape change?


From what I have found a lot of characters would rather dodge out of the way and not take as much damage. That way they could live to fight another day. I justify it by thinking, "If I survive I can maybe get a full attack, or I could risk dying and maybe get to hit him (natural armor and wild armor can be a blessing)." Any enemy with evasion is going to go for the reflex while an enemy that has more health will take the hit and try to hit you back. It is useful when faced against a lot of small opponents like Reynard said. Just like every ability in pathfinder it is circumstantial.


In a campaign I am in the players are part of an order that go against outsiders. Summoning is outlawed in the world and we enforce the laws. He has taken outsiders as favored enemies and I wanted him to be able to apply this bonus to eidolons because they can be a problem.

Also, sometimes an outsider doesn't have the extraplanar subtype (fire elemental on the elemental plane of fire, for example). So that would cause some weird situations.

My suggestion is to ask your GM to give Eidolons the "Eidolon" subtype.

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks everyone for helping me out.


Alright, I was just afraid it might seem a little overpowered because if I am not mistaken any outsider that isn't on its home plane is extraplanar.


It isn't on the list of ranger favored enemies so I didn't know if it was a viable option.


Yes, but there isn't a specified type in the eidolon description. I know you have to choose a subtype for outsiders but I can't find what kind of subtype you would need to pick.


What kind of favored enemy would a ranger have to take in order to get the bonus against eidolons? In the bestiary it just says an eidolon is outsider (extraplanar), does this mean that there is no way to get a bonus against it with favored enemy?


Yes, and realistically it just doesn't make sense to me that the DC wouldn't increase. I wouldn't think that a fine creature would be checked as easily as a tiny creature. I guess it might have been done for balance purposes. That would be a sure fire way to defeat a worm that walks. Would you just rule whatever you think is appropriate for the check to resist being blown away?


Looking at the table of wind effects it doesn't say anything about creatures smaller than tiny. I can't imagine that diminutive and fine creatures are affected the same as tiny creatures. Also does the DC of strength checks to avoid being checked increase as your size decreases and the wind increases?


Thank you friend.


He raised them using raise dead. Would that still not divide em up since they are used to help in the fight?


So, in a campaign I am running one of the characters is a necromancer with a lot of undead in the party. Would the experience gained from fights be divided by the total number of allies including the undead or only the party members. Dividing it that much seems like a jerk move but by the rules you divide it by the allies so it would make sense. What should I do?


Okay, I see it now. I didn't notice the monk's robe. And Improved Unarmed Strike only makes it so that you don't provoke an AoO from not using a weapon. With Monk's Robe a bunch of stuff counts as if your monk level was five higher. Thanks though, it's always nice to have a second pair of eyes to look at something. Thanks a lot.


I was looking through the NPC Codex and I saw an npc called the Failed Disciple. Looking at his stats I saw that his unarmed strikes did a d8 damage. I was confused because he only had levels in fighter. After looking through his stat block for at least twenty minutes I couldn't find anything that would cause that increase in damage. Is there something I am missing or is this a possible mistake in the book?


Using the Titan Mauler Barbarian archetype in Ultimate Combat a character can wield large weapons with a reduced penalty. Thank you though. I wasn't sure and it was something that was brought up by a friend of mine and I was trying to settle a discrepancy. Thanks again.


I was wondering if a character were to wield a large weapon if it could use it at reach due to its massive size. Say a medium character were using a large greatsword, would he have 10ft reach with that or would he only be able to attack adjacent squares as if he had a normally sized weapon.


Would the reach apply when using the two-handed thrower feat then? Or would it still be the same?


My question is pretty simple. If there is a character wielding a reach weapon it increases his reach by 5 feet. Now, say that character could throw that weapon accurately at a range increment of 20 feet. Would he be able to throw it twenty feet and then hit any target as if he had reach from the ending square?


I would say no, the only classes I have ever seen getting into dragon disciple are bard, sorcerer, and summoner. That is because they can cast spells spontaneously as a class feature. This does however seem like it could be up to interpretation. I would ask your DM what he thinks and just go from there. I don't know if anyone from paizo ever thought about that method of getting this prestige class.


Hello, I would enjoy putting my name in the hat here. Don't have a character but thought it would be best to have my foot in the door. I will post my character sometime tonight.


Ah, I am sorry. Thank you for that. And actually summoners get it as a special ability at 19th level.


I was wondering if there was a way to planar bind something with more than 18HD. I'm playing a 20th level summoner and wouldn't mind having a Balor for a little bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


So I took a feat that allowed me to increase my base attack by one. This brought it from 10/5 to 11/6. Would that give me a third attack since it is actually raising my base attack?


Okay, thanks for the help.


Okay, so quick question. The race my character is has a bite attack (obvious natural weapon) but I don't know if it should be counted as primary or a secondary attack since I also have my sword. By primary does it just mean main natural attack or main attack in general? And thanks and I will be very happy.


So, a combination of contingencies, grease and spark. How much damage would the person on fire be taking and how long would they be on fire if nobody went to put them out? Any help would be great.


Thanks. I thought I found a loophole in the Druid's language.


Okay, so here is the story, in my campaign there is a very powerful Lich and he is basically the bad guy throughout the entire thing. I want to make him know Druid but no Druid would teach him. Could using a dominate person spell on the Druid to force it to teach him work? He doesn't care about the consequences and only wishes to increase his power. I have looked at the spell and it at looks good. I want to get feedback from all of you first though. Thanks everyone :D
