I got this.
Q: is all that Arcadian gun sweetness compatible with the spellslinger wizard archetype?
They should work together just fine. The feat line was intended to work together with just about any combination of 'slinger and caster, although some less common ones may have slipped through the cracks.
The damage from the force bullet replaces the base damage of the firearm. The clause about bypassing DR is mainly to keep it consistent with Arcane Strike.
And force bullets do not need to be loaded. Using Arcane Strike as a swift action "loads" the gun.
Thank you for the clarification Michelle. How does Spell Cartridges interact with iterative attacks. If you have the BAB for two attacks and use Arcane Strike to "load" your firearm, does it "reload" for the second attack?
Does Spell Cartridges allow for "force pellets" with Scatter weapons?
Yes, it should apply to all attacks in the round you used Arcane Strike
And no, it specifically gives you bullets
Thank you Michelle!
Is this same Spell Cartridge feat PFS legal or not?

In the unicorn bloodline, I noticed that there is no bonus spell listed for ninth level. What should be the bonus spell known be at ninth level?
That was answered earlier in this thread: Neutralize Poison.
The feats in this book are legal for play except Ioun Resonance, Infused Spell Cartridges, Lifecrafting, Piercing Chant, and Spell Cartridges.
Sad trombone plays in the background.

While it was answered in the thread, it was officially added to the Campaign Clarifications thread with the other errata. It’s Neutralize Poison.
Then why can it be taken?Why shouldn't it be able to be taken?
It's bad game design to not put a level prereq on a feat that doesn't actually give you any benefit until you reach that level. It's the very definition of a trap feat.

Not necessarily. There's a few different ways to increase your effective caster level that don't change your actual spellcasting class level, but prereqs in feats often use "caster level" as shorthand for "your levels in a spellcasting class". Using a "level" entry in the prereq line here could actually make the ability more confusing, or even prevent it from being usable by characters it's intended to be used by.
Currently, a gunslinger 2 / wizard 3 with the Magical Knack trait would be able to benefit from this feat. If the feat included a "Caster level 5th" entry in the prereqs, there would be more confusion about whether or not the same character could even take the feat, let alone use it.
There's nothing inherently bad about making a feat that someone could take without immediately deriving any benefit from it; there's a whole slew of metamagic feats that fighters technically qualify for and which are definitely not trap feats. There's just a balance to be weighed behind how much guidance you want the prereqs to provide, how much space you have on the page, and whether or not less is more for that particular issue.
It looks like it is an at-will ability with indefinite duration, just as the corresponding Draconic bloodline is. The only difference seems to be that the Phoenix bloodline ability gives flight with slightly better maneuverability.
If a mythic Medium decides to tie her mythic power to her channeled spirits, do her bonus hit points change whenever she channels a new spirit too?

The Phoenix and Unicorn bloodlines are awesome.
I still wish we got bloodlines for giant, lycanthrope, and vampire. While the Unicorn bloodline covers the healing option still would have liked a positive energy plane sorcerer bloodline that got chanel (and not a toned down version ether) and some cool positive energy based attacks.

I would have liked this and for bloodragers and sorcerers to have an equal number of bloodlines. There are so many on both sides that aren’t shared between the classes. Rather frustrating for players who want to play siblings when they can’t even share the same bloodline.
I would also have liked it if Bloodragers and Sorcerers had all the same bloodlines.

It's probably weird to say, and I get that they can't steal/borrow things, but I actually prefer some of the abilities from Purple Duck Games' version of these bloodlines. Namely the ability to manifest a horn, which gives us light, detects evil, and 1/day can even be fired as a ranged touch attack. Their phoenix bloodline is hit or miss, but the 9th and 20th level abilities are nearly identical.
I feel if you combined the two together (Paizo and PDG), you could get the best possible combination of abilities for both bloodlines.
The swine hex is very cool, but it's not clear what kind of saving throw is involved. Does the hex turn the target partially into a swine with no saving throw, but allow a will save to negate the -2 penalty to will saves for a number of rounds equal to the witch's intelligence modifier, or is there a will save to negate the entire hex?
Also, no duration is specified. Is the transformation permanent?

Duration is Int mod in rounds.

Will save negates or be partially turned into a swine. This is a -2 on Will saves for Int modifier rounds. At 8th level the hands and feet also become hooves to negate claw attacks or manufactured weapons (or anything else requiring hands). Seems clear.

The wording is not clear:
"The witch can partially transform an enemy into a pig. The effects of the transformation are mostly cosmetic and do not change the creature’s size category or overall shape, but the affected creature takes a –2 penalty on Will saving throws for a number of rounds equal to the witch’s Intelligence modifier (Will negates). At 8th level, the affected creature’s hands (or paws) turn into hooves, preventing it from using claw attacks or taking any action that would require the creature to use its fingers."
As worded, the will negates and duration seem to only apply to the penalty to will saves, not to any other effects of the transformation.
It could have been worded "The witch can partially transform an enemy into a pig. The transformation lasts a number of rounds equal to the witch's intelligence modifier, and a successful Will save negates the transformation. etc."

Yes, that’s exactly correct. At least until 8th level when the second aspect comes in and the target now has hooves in addition to the Will penalty.
So, regarding the 'living machine' wyrwood, I actually had a few questions:
Are wyrwood's still immune to non-lethal damage (I would think not since they have a Con score, and anything with a Con score is normally subject to non-lethal damage)?
Do wyrwood's still have immunity to bleed, poison, death effects, disease, paralysis, and stunning? (I assumed they only had these abilities because constructs were immune to making fortitude saves, but the 'living machine' wyrwood is now subject to fortitude saves)
Also, are they no longer immune to necromancy effects (again, I would think not since they can now be targeted by spells and effects that target living creatures)?
And finally, are wyrwood's still immune to sleep (as before, it doesn't seem so since the 'living machine' wyrwood now requires sleep)?
Any help would be appreciated.

Reading the living machine subtype, it tells you exactly what it’s now subject to. “can be targeted by spells and effects that target living creatures or constructs, as well as those that require a Fortitude save. They are no longer immune to ability damage, ability drain, energy drain, exhaustion, or fatigue. Wyrwoods with this trait require sleep,”
So, yes to the first and second questions, no to the third (if the necromancy effects affects humanoids or constructs, it affects the wyrwood), and no to the fourth question, as they now require sleep.

Okay, so they are no longer immune to necromancy effects or sleep, but are you sure they are still immune to non-lethal damage? I mean, because they can now be targeted by effects that apply to living creatures (and non-lethal damage is something that living creatures are effected by)

It doesn't specifically list nonlethal, so I'm 99% sure. By "living creatures" for spell effects, it'd mean that a spell like slay living would now affect it, just as make whole would.
"Constructs are not subject to ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, energy drain, or nonlethal damage."
It'd make sense that if they called out ability damage, ability drain, and energy drain, that they'd also list nonlethal.
