Does recharging a gun count as reloading, and therefore benefit from feats such as rapid reload?

Also if you dual wield technological one-handed firearms that are semi-auto do both get the extra attack or just one of them?

Thanks.


Can you use this ability while you are paralyzed? It takes an immediate action. Is is a "mental only" action?


I'm playing a gunslinger and am wondering at what level players start encountering the tech firearms. Anybody know?

So here is the abilitiy in question:

Flash and Shock:
Flash and Shock (Ex): At 1st level, the gulch gunner can take advantage of the flash and sound of a firearm to throw off an attacker's aim at close range. When she makes an attack against a foe within her firearm's first range increment, she may spend 1 grit point to gain a +4 circumstance bonus to AC against that opponent until the beginning of her next turn. She can only perform this deed while wearing medium, light, or no armor, and while carrying no more than a light load. This deed replaces the deadeye deed.

The question is what is the order of events if you fire in melee and thus provoke an attack of opportunity. Does the AoO happen before you get your AC bonus if you spend the grit point?

Thanks in advance.

The Argument:

A creature that spits acid as a swift action extraordinary ability. I maintain no AoO because using an ex ability doesn't provoke. Others said its a ranged attack therefore it provokes from adjacent opponents. I don't see how spitting is somehow more involved then casting a swift spell.

Thoughts, opinions?

Am I correctly interpreting Mythic Two Weapon Fighting?

If you spend the mythic point it says negate the penalties on two weapon fighting for rounds = to tier.

Does this mean that you could use any weapon you can legally hold in one hand and not have any penalties?

For example if I wielded two flails and spent the point. I would get all my iterative attacks plus any two weapon fighting feat attacks all at full iterative BAB?

I've searched the database a few times and found several threads pertaining to what happens to undead and constructs, but not what I'm after.

My question is pretty simple. We are doing Jade Regent and a fellow player used Ice Tomb on an Oni(I believe it was a Ogre Mage). The GM passed the save. The player claimed that a successful save still meant you were encased in the ice. So half damage on the 3d8 and no paralysis or unconsciousness, but still immobile and trapped in a 20 hit point box and then staggered after someone gets you out?

This seems improbable to me, but I thought I'd check.

I mean if the target passed the save and was still encased, with the way this hex is written, that would also negate the eating, breathing, and drinking aspect of the failed save. Wouldn't he then suffocate?

Thanks in advance,

Varathiel
