If someone draws the fool from the deck of many things they lose 10,000 xp. How would that be handled?

Thanks a bunch everyone!

Where are the rules for losing xp and negative levels? Is it in the core book? What section?

Thanks.

Ned

Thanks!

If a monster has more than one attack listed, do they always have to take a full round action to use more than one attack?

For example, the Iron Golem has 2 slams. Is one slam attack a standard action and two slams a full action?

What about the Shobhad (the green martian clones from the Distant Worlds campaign setting book)? They have four arms. It lists them as having two longsword attacks (separated by a comma). Can they attack with both longswords for a standard action or a full action?

Thanks, this multiple attack stuff is confusing me.

That makes sense, thanks.

Bleeding Attack has to be done as a sneak attack. The rules state "Sneak Attack: If a rogue can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage."

So what situations count for not being able to defend oneself effectively?

I am a GM and I have a pc in my campaign who took bleeding. He is having fun with it but I want to make sure that it isn't overused and doesn't overpower the campaign. What are the exact rules on a monster "not being able to defend itself"?

Are there any other limits I can use on it? I was thinking that it wouldn't work on demons.

Thanks for the advice

I am going to add this to my pull list tomorrow! My daughter will be thrilled.

He can make two attacks a round with the axe as long as he is taking a full round action (no more than a 5 foot step). That is always what they mean when attacks are separated by a slash like that. A minotaur can also use its horns to gore at the +4 listed in the entry so long as it is making a full attack action. You can tell because it says "and" between the axe and gore entries in the attack line. Read the following from the universal monster rules:

Natural Attacks wrote:

Creatures with natural attacks and attacks made with weapons can use both as part of a full attack action (although often a creature must forgo one natural attack for each weapon clutched in that limb, be it a claw, tentacle, or slam). Such creatures attack with their weapons normally but treat all of their available natural attacks as secondary attacks during that attack, regardless of the attack’s original type.

Got it. But since he was a half-fiend the melee attacks are separated by commas. Does this change how it works?

I am currently GMing a pathfinder campaign and we are still learning the rules. I had my players fight a half-fiend Minotaur. Since the Minotaur's melee ability is written Great Axe +11/+6 does that mean he can make two attacks a round? Does he have to do it as a full round action? Can he also make a bite or gore attack the same round but at a penalty? Thanks for the help.
