I have a question about Extra Hex for shaman.
Extra Hex
You have learned the secrets of a new hex.
Prerequisites: Hex class feature.
Benefit: You gain one additional hex. You must meet the prerequisites for this hex. 【If you are a shaman, it must be a hex granted by your spirit rather than one from a wandering spirit.】
Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Each time you do, you gain another hex.
Can I want to make sure whether I can select some Hex from shaman list, such as Chant, Misfortune?

The main problem is the cost of curing Hp.
(1cl)CLW wand,1d8+1/15Gp=0.37hp/Gp
(3cl)CMW wand,2d8+3/90Gp=0.13hp/Gp
As a result, PCs tend to use CLW wand instead of CMW wand as a way to cure themselves after encounters.
However, it is very strange to find the hero(level 10+) use a large amount of CLW wand to cure himself. PC can get more and more golds in the encounter, the price of curing themselves are always cheap.

Hi Mark, the subject of dex Magi has flared up in the PFS Boards and I wondered if you would be willing to venture an opinion on whether or not Dervish Dance prevented Magi from using spell combat.

Dervish Dance specifies that it is only turned off if the offhand is carrying a weapon or shield. Some interpret that to include using the offhand to cast a spell. They point to the Slashing Grace FAQ with the argument that it would make no sense for Dervish Dance to still work when Slashing Grace was explicitly removed as an option for Dex Magi.

So, I wondered if you had a view on whether or not Dervish Dance does, or does not, work with spell combat.

It's certainly a topic with a long history, but it's not from a book for which the Design Team makes FAQ rulings at all.

Here's what I've seen about it, in bullet points:

*By an exacting reading, it looks like the feat specifically mentions carrying a weapon or a shield. Spell combat says that the spell functions as the second weapon, but are you carrying it? This same possible ambiguity applies to scimitar+punch TWF with Dervish Dance.

*James has said that the feat is not meant to be a tricky way to do Two-Weapon type stuff without technically wielding a weapon (scimitar+punch, etc), and he is the #1 in-office fan of Sarenite dervishes and has clear provenance on its intent.

*Sean supposedly ruled it to not work in a forum post, in such a way that the ruling was official at the time he made it but no longer remains so. I was never able to find that post myself, though.

*PDT FAQs on rules under FAQ jurisdiction, as well as the modern wording on all similar abilities, make this question much clearer than Dervish Dance does, and they all fall in line with the intent James revealed and the ruling Sean made. However, those FAQs very emphatically affect their own...

Hi,Mark. I have some questions about these feats or ability,too.

1. Can I use Dervish Dance(ISWG) with Flurry of Blows by using Crusader's Flurry(UC). It looks like a special kind of TWF. I do not make sure whether it is also a tricy way or a appropriate way?

2. Can I use Precise Strike(ACG-Swashbuckler)with Flurry of Blows. The FAQ said that Slashing Grace can not use with Flurry of Blows. The requirement of Precise Strike is similar with Slashing Grace. However,it doesn't banned when i use it with Flurry of Blows. So i am confused about it.

guiding blade:
A guiding blade regains panache whenever an ally reduces a creature to 0 or fewer hit points, instead of when she herself does so.
swashbuckler:
When the swashbuckler reduces a creature to 0 or fewer hit points with a light or one-handed piercing melee weapon attack while in combat, she regains 1 panache point.

Does her allies must reduce a creature to 0 with a Light or One-Handed Piercing Melee Weapon for she regains panache?

The archetype is too puzzled for me to understand its meaning.
If guiding blade's allies can help her regains panache points without using a Light or One-Handed Piercing Melee Weapon? I don't think it means that every foe can provide her with a panache point. However, my friend considered that if her allies must use a Light or One-Handed Piercing Melee Weapon, it is almost impossible for guiding blade to regain panache point without the help from allies.
So which understanding is right?

If any barbarian can use totem power,i think the totem warrior is meaningless.(In fact, most of barbarian archetypes can use totem warrior archetype together).

In the pathfinder society S06-16 - Scions of the Sky Key (III) - The Golden Guardian,I found that BLADE OF THE OPEN ROAD’s price is too high to make people feel surprised.I searched for the forums,there are some people have the same question----Is the writer have a mistake on it?(19,715 GP equal to a +3 weapon and 9715 GP may be a reasonable price for it.)

Well, the arcane bloodline states:

Arcane Bond (Su): At 1st level, you gain an arcane bond, as a wizard equal to your sorcerer level. Your sorcerer levels stack with any wizard levels you possess when determining the powers of your familiar or bonded object. This ability does not allow you to have both a familiar and a bonded item.

And eccliesietheurge says

Bonded Holy Symbol (Su): At 3rd level, an ecclesitheurge forms a powerful bond with a holy symbol of his deity, which functions identically to a wizard’s bonded object except it can be used to cast cleric and domain spells (instead of wizard spells) and the ecclesitheurge can grant his bonded holy symbol only magic abilities appropriate for a holy symbol or a neck slot item.

So no.

Thank you.

DO I have any ways to get a familiar as an ecclesitheurge. .?

If i am an ecclesitheurge(ACG) and get the ability of Bonded Holy Symbol,
can i get a familiar by feat Eldritch Heritage(to achieve the Arcane Bond from Arcane Bloodline)?
