Under the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Bestiary guide a Lich gets two special attacks but my question is as most other special attacks from other creatures have a trigger it seems the Lich special attacks don't. So can the lich use these attacks every round or is there a limit (or trigger) that I missed?

Thanks in advance to all those that respond.

So I was gaming last night and phantasmal killer was cast. The monster made it's will save so it disbelieved the illusion. We then had an argument over whether the second fort save was appropriate and then if it failed that if the monster would still take damage. Unfortunately the wording is such that it's not clear (or so the players argued). If anyone could help that would be appreciated.

"You create a phantasmal image of the most fearsome creature
imaginable to the subject simply by forming the fears of the
subject’s subconscious mind into something that its conscious
mind can visualize: this most horrible beast. Only the spell’s
subject can see the phantasmal killer. You see only a vague
shape. The target first gets a Will save to recognize the image as
unreal. If that save fails, the phantasm touches the subject, and
the subject must succeed on a Fortitude save or die from fear.
Even if the Fortitude save is successful, the subject takes 3d6
points of damage."

Hey all,

Along this line of query, how do people treat animal companions? Recently we had a Rangers wolf getting savaged in a game. Poor thing went down to -3 hit points. Do animal companions die beyond 0 hp or can they go to -10 hp before dying?

Has anything official come from Paizo in regards to this?

Personally I like the idea of illiterate characters, makes the linguistic skill far more useful than it currently is (IMHO).

Thanks for the input, and probably those two spells were bad examples, my apologies. put another way:

Assuming level 1 characters:
Wizard 3x 0 level spells per day
Cleric 3x 0 levels spells per day
Bard 9600x 0 level spells per day (assuming 8 hours sleep otherwise it's 14,400 level 0 spells)

Anyone see a slight imbalance here?

Cheers

Hey, I am new to pathfinder and am getting confused with Bards/Sorcerers and Inquisitors and level 0 spell casting.

So if I get this right, my Inquisitor knows 4 level 0 spells and can cast each of these an unlimited number of times per day. So if my character comes to stairs leading down to a dungeon. Ok just cast create water an unlimited number of times till everything downs down there. Is it just me or is this just over overwhelmingly powerful? Likewise, keep cast disrupt undead for d6 damage the move and attack each round vs undead?

Shouldn't those classes be limited to only a number of 0 levels spell per day say equal to their known 0 level spells? Can anyone who was involved in writing the rules explain this?

Other than that, great game!

Cheers
