Hello, I'm new to Pathfinder and roleplaying games. Having played 4E, i notice you can "cheat" AC on abilities. Example: when you hold a sword in 1 hand you get +3 AC, even when I attacked 2 handed using the longsword, I changed it to 1 handed grip and gets +3 AC. So for magus's Spell Combat, can I say attack with an Aldori dueling sword and switch to 1 hand and cast a spell?

So which sourcebooks from pathfinder are meant for 3.5 but not for the 3.75?

Ah, my bad the two books are actually inner sea world guide Pg.284(aldori dueling mastery combat) and pathfinder campaign setting Pg.67(aldori dueling mastery local)
Sorry guys misquoted the wrong book.

I had an idea for simulating active dodging in combat. It uses Ultimate combat variant rule of Armour as DR. Instead of vigor points as damage soak, it is used as stamina.

Upon the attacker declaring an attack, before the roll is made the defender chooses to dodge(example). You choose to add as much reflex save up to your maximum reflex save as dodge modifier in AC. You reduce that amount of reflex added into your vigor points.

For Parrying- Perhaps using CMA to make an attack check against the attacker's check. Like duelist's parry, taking into consideration size modifiers. Afterwords, reducing vigor points by an amount again.

This may seem like players seem to be missing all the time, but this is how combat works. Both parties parry, feint and testing each others' defences before finding a weakness and kills.

What you guys think?

So does the new book(world guide) supercedes the primer? Or are both usable?

The local aldori dueling mastery is real nasty! Perhaps even take both?

Hello just a casual question here, about this feat(s)

In the Inner sea world guide, it states a feat that is Aldori dueling mastery(Combat). While Inner sea primer, states the feat aldori dueling mastery(Local). Both are very different feats with the same name, anyone can clarify this confusion?

Thanks.
