Anything that says it works for UnRogues?I just noticed feats called Acute Shot and Superior Sniper, which seem odd because they don't sound that magic-y. What do they do?Acute Shot applies to ranged attacks with a magic bonus and allows you to deduct range penalties from damage rather than to hit and apply sneak attack dice up to the magic bonus of the attack against targets with partial concealment.
Superior Sniper is a Rogue talent, which gives the Expert Sniper feat from Dirty Tactics Toolbox... which reduces sniping penalties by 10.
Yes.
The following rogue talents are also available to the rogue class from Pathfinder RPG Pathfinder Unchained.
But not Slayers. Poor Slayers...
Two other questions springing to mind:
-Does crossblooded count as altering or replacing bloodline powers for bloodline mutations? (I think so.)
Yes, expanding your options for feature X counts as altering X at all levels. I was going to say "who cares, bloodline mutation isn't an archetype", then i re-read it and now I am a sad sheet because my sorcerer can't get +3 damage per die.

...I am okay with that. It's kinda nice thinking that you can move away from crossblooded for blasting. As much as I love crossblooded, being the best at so much is a bit much.
There is no mention of that in the archetype, so no.
"Magic bonus" is an undefined term that actually appears in the text of the Acute Shot feat. I can see wide table variation as to exactly what that phrase means. The introductory statement says "When magic aids your ranged attacks, you rarely miss."
So do we have confirmation on this yet? My assumption is any magically aided bonus... which would include spells AND enhancement bonuses from weapons.
Would the Warrior Spirit advanced weapon training option work for unarmed strikes? Or does it have to be on a manufactured weapon? And if it works on unarmed strikes, would it apply to all unarmed strikes (like with amulet of mighty fists) or gotta specify a limb?

That is how I would play it too -- but the phrase is definitely vague enough to create doubt, as earlier messages in this thread indicate.
Any clarification weather the questioner investigator can cast spells in light armor without chance of failure, like the bard?
Nope. I think I'll pick up Arcane Armor Training for this build.
I find it interesting how the two reviews have a very different view on the Dimensional Excavator.
*has a view that Magic Tactics is pretty sweet if I ever decide to go Bloodrager*
So with the havocker, do the DCs for infusions use the witch's Int modifier or does it work out like a kineticist and you have to use Con (Dex if it's a form infusion)?
seems to be as with the kineticist.

Not really fair. I love the idea of the class. I was pointing out the weakness of the book in that the class can not use use the new pit options offered in the same book.
It strongly suggests the entries were independently thought out without consideration for each other. All it would have taken was one person to slightly edit the new options so they work with eachother.

Copied from another thread:
Question about the second bloodline mutation Blood Intensity:
"Otherwise works like Intesified Spell"
Does this mean you can raise your caster level above the normal limit, but up to your actual caster level or +CHA mod, which might be higher than caster level?
And is the spell supposed to take a higher spell slot?
You can raise the number of dice above the normal cap, to a maximum of your caster level or the spell's cap plus your Str/Cha modifier, whichever is lower.
So a 10th level sorcerer with an 18 Charisma casts shocking grasp. Even though her caster level is 10, the spell's cap (5) plus her ability modifier (4) is 9, for a total of 9d6. If her Charisma were 22, the result would be 10d6, as the spell's dice are still limited by her caster level.
I don't think it was intended to use a higher-level spell slot, but the wording is vague on how much of the Intensified Spell feat it brings along. For example, it might only allow five extra dice (as Intensified Spell does).
Does this make sense? ^_^
Yes that is very helpful and makes sense to me.
It´s kind of what i thought, although i would personaly have no problem with something that costly and limited in use apply the complete modifier above caster level.
Thanks a lot!
Are you required to have the prerequisites for the Master Sniper feat before you are able to take the Superior Sniper talent?
For clarification, it reads..
"Superior Sniper: A rogue who selects
this talent gains Expert Sniper (Dirty Tactics
Toolbox 10) as a bonus feat. If she already has this
feat, she can instead select any feat that lists
Expert Sniper as a prerequisite, as long
as she meets the feat’s prerequisites."
If anyone could shed some light on that, it would be great.
Are you required to have the prerequisites for the Master Sniper feat before you are able to take the Superior Sniper talent?
I don't believe so.

If that is the case, could a Halfling with the 'Swift as Shadows' Racial trait and this Rogue talent use the sniping mechanic with no penalty at level 2?
ok i can't tell if the sneak attack damage from acute shot can be used by non rogues
Yes, there's no restriction to rogues in the feat.
