but why why is it DR adamantine instead since it is made of adamantine.
If it were then a Barbarian could get some use of against every one accept an opponent with a weapon that could by pass admantine

1st aide gloves come from the the Pathfinder society primer page 24

The nice thing about these gloves is you do not have to make a use magic device roll to use the gloves.

The wearer as a standard action can cast any of the spells by permanently expending a number of sapphires equal to the spell level.
The way it is phrased any player class can use the gloves.

1. If you have an improved familiar with hands that uses wands can the familiar use 1st aide gloves?

2. If you have cast breath of live on your left hand glove and still have sapphires on your right can you spend partial money to replenish your left hands sapphires?

3. can you use breath of life on yourself if you are wearing the gloves when you die?

4. if you are wearing the gloves and die would another player be able to take off your gloves and use them in time to give you the breath of life in time?

5. if there are more limits put on familiars or animal companions using magic please send me a link.

An arrow made of Dark wood and Mithral weighs half what a regular arrow weighs but is stronger than a regular arrow. 1, would the fly a greater distance such as a flight but do the same damage?
2. because both Materials are master work would you get a plus 1 to whit with these arrows?
3. would this stack with a master work or master bow?

A bard /cleric wears Mithral Agile breast plate and a medium shield.
1. The bards spells can be cast with no chance of spell failure
because the Mithral acts as on lighter than normal for purpose of movement
and other limitations. So treat it as light armor for spell failure.
2. The Mithral agile breast plate is a Medium armor greater than light so The full spell penalty applies 25% minus 10% for the Mithral giving The bard a 15% chance of spell failure with her bard spells.

1. a 3rd level Grenadier alchemist with an IQ modify of 3 uses his move action to adds an alchemist fire The damage as I understand it is as follows 2d6+3 +d6+3 Because an alchemist add his IQ modifier to splash weapons as well as bombs and the total the total is 15 +9 = 24
2. She threw her bomb at a Babau it has 10 fire resistance.
how do you apply the resistance: 2a 24 -10 for 14 points of damage
because it is one attack. or is it 2b. or is the damage
15 -10 = 5 9-10 =0 total 5

3. the splash damage is 5 2d6+3 since the alchemist fire looses it splash
when added to a bomb.

4. the target get hit with 2 IQ modifiers 1 from the bomb. and one from the alchemist fire. The people with in 5 feet of target only get the 5 damage since the alchemist fire looses its splash ability

5. The alchemist has explosive bomb discovery that sets the target on fire
The target has been hit 3 times and is receiving 3d6 of fire damage per turn do you subtract resistance from all three fires or just once from the total?

1. I have 2 claw attacks and a bite and I am wearing a boulder helmet
can I make a 4th headbutt attack with the Boulder helmet?
The Dwarven Boulder Helmet is a light melee weapon.

2. If I can"t make the 4th attack why not?

3. If I can make the 4th attack what is the to hit with the helmet.

4. If I have no feat for use of a boulder helmet what is the penalty to attack

5. does wearing a weapon automatically allow you to use it?

6. Can you use a dwarven Boulder helmet if you are not a dwarf?

7. can I make a headbutt attack when I am making an attack with a great
AX?

This is how I think it could be done.
1. on the previous turn you cast shocking grasp a touch spell active until
you touch someone. This turn you touch the bad guy.
2nd you make a concentration check and cast a quickened magic missile.
Lastly you make a concentration check and cast Burning hands.
The true is the shocking grasp was cast last turn.
2. I assume you must delver the touch spell or loose it 1st.
3. or Am I wrong you can only deliver the touch spell.
4. or would it work if your familiar delivered the touch spell.
5. can your familiar deliver a touch spell and the do a breath attack?
or is the touch its only action
6. can the familiar cast a spell of its own after it delivers your touch spell.

The Mephit description in the bestiary says that the mephit can
summon another mephet of the same type 25% of the time.
1. Is this one of the familiar spell effects?
2. NO similar to a summoned monster a familar cant summon more Mephits.
3. I have my Mephit that uses a wand using it charisma and my skill ranks
in use magic device to make the wand work. I assume that if it suceeds on UMD can use wand.
4. if the familar has the spell with a spell like ability
such as magic missle could it auto suceed using a magic missle wand
5. Another example if your familar can cast cure light wound once a day can the familar auto suceed to use a wand of cure light.

Under the current PFS rules I can play a scenario once for credit
and GM once for credit. And I get a chronicicle sheet for each Does Paizo have a boon or book you can buy to allow you to get a more chronicle sheets?

1. all core races from the core rule book are fine

2. when I stared the PFS guide said that you could also play an
: 2a. Aasimar 2b. a Tengus, and 2c. Tiefling if you had the race Guide.

3. Is this changing are you no longer going to be able to play
Aasimar, Tengus, and Tiefling?

4. If this is so is there a way to grandfather in so that you can still
play Aasimar, Tengus, and Tiefling?

5. Are they opening up all of the race guide as an incentive for players to buy the book/

6. Are there any new races coming up

7. If you can't go to a big convention how do you get access to other races?

Can we buy any monster out of the bestiary

The bestiary III lists a clock works servant and a column construct

My wizard is crazy about clock works.

2. If you are a multiclass conjurer wizard and you take a level of cleric
can you effectively use the sacred Summon feat?.
3. Is the sacred summon only usable by clerics?.

I did see the feat academic student that allowed you to cast
as a standard but you had to make a fort save or be fatigued.

4. is it worth getting for a conjurer wizard?

5. is it feasible to run a wizard with this feat who has a 14 constitution

6. is thier another way to speed up my summoned monster spells?

Deeper darkness spell pg 265 says: deeper darkness can be used to counter
or dispel any light spell of equal or lower spell level. Deeper Darkness is a 3rd level spell. Day light says it dispells or counters any darkness spell of equal or lower.
1. does day light spell counter deeper darkness?
2.Continual flame is a 2nd level wizard spell it is dispelled by
both darkness and deeper darkness. But what if you have a light bringer ELF FROM THE ADVANCED PLAYERS GUIDE page 13 Light bringer Elves are treated as 1 level higher when determining the effect of any light based spell or effect

2a. If a light bring elf cast Day light is it considered to be a
3rd level spell or a fourth level spell if it is a 4th level spell would the Light bringer elves daylight spell be immune to the deeper darkness spell since deeper darkness effect light spells of equal or lower and Deeper darkness is only a 3rd level spell?

2b. There is a magic trait called called Gifted adept It says Pick one spell when you choose this trait. From this point on whenever you cast that spell it effect manifest as +1 caster level APG 329

2c If a Light Bringer Elf is a gifted adept and they choose the spell continual flame. Would the normally 2nd level spell work as a 4th level spell there for being too high to be effect by darkness or deeper darkness?

3.If a 5th level wizard has the heighten Feat core rule book 126
A Heighten spell has a higher spell level than normal up to a maximum of 9th level a heighten spell actually increase the effective level of the spell that it modify s all effects dependent on spell level
such as saving throw DCs. So he chooses to cast continual flame as a 4th level spell he has to use Magical device to cast the spell, But if successful he could create a 4th level continual flame spell.
3a Is this spell immune from being countered or dispell by a lower level
darkness or deeper darkness spell?

As I understand the rules Magical items are under the same stacking rules as Combing magical effect page 206 core rule book.
Why would I want to buy a head band of vast intelligence =2 and an Ioun
that enhance my IQ also plus 2 give me no benefit.
examples:
1. If I have an Ioun stone that enhances dexterity +2 do I get nothing from a belt of enhance dexterity +2 or do I now have dx 4 enhancement?
2. is there a way around this an exception?
3. a barbarian has +2 DR from his barbarian ability
what happens when he buy an admantine breast plate? doe he now have dr4
for his troubles or is he out 10k for nothing?
4. is there anything that give a Iq bonus that is not an enhancement bonus?

If I have a Golden Draconic Sorcerer He Gets +1 per die for any fire damage spell roll. If I have an evoker wizard/ Draconic sorcerer do I get to add
my pluses across spell classes.
The player casts a burning hands from his wizard side does he still apply the +1 per die on that spell? specifically is it 2 d4+2 or just 2d4+1 Or does it only apply to his Sorcerer
spells? Conversely Does the player get to add his evoker intensify to his
sorcerer spells spells so burning hands does burning hands
get 2d4+2 +1 or only 2d4 +2 only?

If a ranger hates the undead and has fought skeletons before. The undead are a preferred enemy.
would he know to use blunt weapons or would he have to stop and do a knowledge religion check every time he fights them?

Does a druid know to burn trolls or would he have to make a knowledge either local or nature to figure it out every time he fights them?

can a player write themselves notes to remind them what works against different monsters?

Would the dumb fighter have to always do trial and error.

In the pathfinder society can you research what kind of monsters you think you will face before going on an adventure?

Should we all already know need cold steel for pesky demons and fey.
Silver for the werewolf devil near you and blunt for skeletons and oozes

The pathfinder society is fighting demons crashing through the
world wound. Human are the dominant population. This population stumbles with out normal light. They regularly go into caves and dark places
in this world so why for god sake why haven't they come up with demon resistant. light source any where. it not in ultimate equipment not in
a p g not in pathfinder guide. It extremely stupid and extremely odd
that there has been no counter measure to the demons darkness and deeper
darkness. You would think the pathfinder society would want a cheap counter for darkness and deep darkness. The simplest

I can see is that I spend 280 gold to have a path finder society cleric
cast a heighten to 4th clerical continental flame spell on my helm or a wand, or miners light.

If needs be use a light rod as a spell power component .
A 3rd level clerical continual flame should counter a 2nd level.
darkness spell.
The heighten to 4th level continual flame spell should counter the
3rd level deeper darkness. With the light rod component
this would act as a 5th level spell.
Now to do this I will have to fight with my gm to get it.
Why would a society that came up with water proof crossbows and water breathing have nothing to deal with the darkness.

Where is my improved ever burning torch?

THE HEIGHTENED DAYLIGHT Stone
in our world phosphorus burns blindingly bright where are my brillant alchemists with an alchemist solution.
It does gall that humans that cant see can not get any benefit from the use of more than one light source. if 6 players shine 6 bull eye lanterns it should have a greater effect than a mere torch better than normal light This bright light should help with perception checks?
that is the effect in our world.
light other than normal

After rant rules question what is the effect of using a continual flame
item as the light source for bulls eye or miners lantern?

Can you wear quilted Armour over a agile breast plate?
Since you can wear silken-ed ceremonial Armour over heavy or medium armor.
I assume for Armour class you would only use the agile plates ac.
But does the quilted Armour give you damage reduction against arrows bolts?
I am assuming that you would add the weight of both armors so your now wearing 40 ponds of armor.
Will this combination work in pathfinder society play?

Lastly different armor question if I have light fire resistant armor
and I am wearing medium armor over it I assume I would take best ac of the 2 and add all of the armor check penalties. But would I get the fire
resistance from the lighter armor?
