I might switch to the teleportation subschool, teleporting as a move is pretty sweet.
You'll need to hit yourself with anthaul to carry anything, str 6 is 20 lbs, or your encumbered. A haversack, metamagic rod, spell pouch and a belt are running you 12 pounds.
The permanent Summon Monster 9 is pretty sweet.

Rules don't give limitations for outsider, and maybe Tarrasque has a proper class, but obviously with such CR creatures is not size the problem. Also, no limitation to living creatures. If is not one of those, will be another. And 12 hours is like permanent, for adventure purpose.
Polymorph any object functions like greater polymorph, except that it allows an object to become a creature, or a creature to become an object (and it can be permanent if the two are close enough to one another).
If you change something into a magical beast, like a Tarrasque, it functions like beast shape IV. That means that you're limited to no more than a Large magical beast (such as a Manticore, for example). You can't turn something into a Colossal magical beast. Period.
Nice try, though.

IOW, because of the limitation as greater polymorph, you can't change something into an outsider, period. You can change an outsider into something else, but you can't change anything into an outsider. The spell says what it does and does what it says. It doesn't give limitations for outsiders because it doesn't allow you to turn things into outsiders; that's the limit, that you can't do it at all.
Also, as stated previously, NONE of the polymorph spells actually turn you into a literal/actual creature of the type you become. You gain stat mods to YOUR stats based on the spell and the size of the creature. You gain special abilities that the creature possesses *IF* the spell lists them; if it doesn't, then you don't. The advancing power of the polymorph spells isn't just access to bigger sizes of creatures; it's also to a bigger menu of potential options of the abilities those creatures possess.
You may look like a [monster] and smell like a [monster] and gain SOME of the abilities of a [monster], but the target is still the basis creature that it started as, wearing a [monster] suit. That's the way polymorph works in PF - you are still YOU, modified by the polymorph.

TO CONCLUSION:
SPELL AM NOT WORK THAT WAY.
NOW WHERE AM BARBARIAN GOING TO FIND JABBERWOCKY SUIT AT THIS TIME NIGHT ON TUESDAY?
BARBARIAN WILLING TO SKIN OWN JABBERWOCKY IF NEEDED, BUT NOT KNOW WHAT ONE LOOK LIKE. LAST TIME THIS HAPPEN BARBARIAN COME TO PARTY DRESSED AS NYMPH.
MAYBE BUILD SHOULD INCLUDE KNOWLEDGE ARCANA AND NATURE.
Can't AM BARBARIAN spell sunder harmful effects like a blindness deafness spell or a bestow curse spell. How does the wizard do that.
Table: Character Wealth by Level lists the amount of treasure each PC is expected to have at a specific level.
PC Level Wealth
20 880,000 gp
It's not an issue for ShadowcatX, but WBL is the amount they suggest you have, not the amount you've spent.
Can't AM BARBARIAN spell sunder harmful effects like a blindness deafness spell or a bestow curse spell. How does the wizard do that.
The WBL table for a 20th level wizard doesn't take into account all those Gate spells the wizard cast to deal with a raging barbarian.
Money saved by crafting items
money spent by stupid expensive spells
And apparently some wizards spend a lot on Sandwhiches.
turns into a wash.
Barbarian just spends silver pieces of drinks. And maybe wenches.
Or the Martial takes Master Craftsman feat and make his own gear too. He'll be able to get high enough checks to not NEED spells for them. AM BARBARIAN might have to decide if freeing up 2 to 3 higher level feats to double his magic item budget would be worth while.
A fighter could swing it even easier.
But there is a reason why discussions like this use a standardized reference point. The WBL doesn't take into consideration all the Wish and Gate spells the Wizard cast between 17th and 20th level either.
In play in a normal, non-PFS game is there value to those feats? Sure. Cost saving or a way to get the items you want when you want them. Not every GM runs a 'magic mart' world where a character can just ask for X and it be delivered for market price.
The other point to make here?
Wealth By Level is an accumulation of the overall goods you gained. The wizard seems to be assuming these goods are all coin. Fact is, they aren't.
If a Wizard gets a magic sword, (2000 GP), sells it, gets 1000 GP for it, and then uses that to craft items, what's the net worth of the items?
It ain't 4000 GP. Same basic thing applies with WBL. You have received 880,000 GP in accumulated stuff over your adventuring days. You probably sold some of it to craft other stuff. Let's say you sold 600,000 GP worth of stuff of what you accumulated. You get 300,000 GP. You then craft with that 300,000 GP...
And voila, you've made 600,000 in stuff. Crafting feats are about making sure items are available that otherwise wouldn't be, not about circumventing WBL. To argue otherwise is to argue that organic growth and character creation at a specific level are 2 different things.
And that would make a 'Created character - Organic character' disparity. Way too many words.
Of course not. AM has made a career out of killing casters, most of whom probably had craft feats.
Either he's at WBL as normal, or we have to account for the fact that every enemy he's ever killed in his entire career has double-standard-level-PC wealth.
I'll leave that to your option.
(Hint: You want the first one.)
I'm sure you could look at all the items you want in a spread sheet, figure out which craft skill saves you the most. Figure out how much that saving would be and then decide if it's worth it. Given the price of items at high tier, getting 2 or 3...which is easy peezy with Wonderous Items. Or a dual wielding fighter. A dual wielding fighter could buy two +10 weapons for the price of 1 if we go by the logic of craft save money on WBL table. Or even just 1 +10 weapon saves you 100k. Is it more limited? Yeah, but tell me you couldn't make 2 feats that give you 100k work into a build.
Heck, if AM had 2 +10 Lances to pick from with a different load out of abilities for the price of one, I bet he could come up with some stuff. And that was me spending less than a minute considering the cost savings of it. If I really wanted to get Min/Max and find out how far I could take 1 skill in savings I'm confident I could do much better than 100k.
But that's why it's silly and I am certainly not advocating that people should view it that way. Trinam just made two very good arguments for why it's set up the way it is in WBL, which I'm in firm agreement with.
(And why would I craft the MW item? That's the cheap but stupidly complicated and long part. I'd just buy that, then bang the enchant I want into the item, taking the same time as a caster to do so.)
If I may,
AM Barbarian sounds very similar to my Invulnerable Rager build.
You''l meet Calain Hearstriker shortly.
My build is More team focused and I think has more to-hit than AM Barbarian. I don't believe he has Reckless Abandon.
Also I have smasher in my build because I read it to mean:
If you ATTACK an unattended object or perform a sunder manuvere (I believe this works on attended armor weapons) you ignore hardness.
I believe this is RAI because attacking an object and sunder object are to different actions. One is simply an attack roll, the other is a CM check. I think sundering your opponents armor/weapon is fine.
IF my DM were to rule different, I'd put in good for what ails you.
Here is what I believe AM BARBARIAN's build would look like. (Based on what he's said he can do.)
2 DR1/-, Lesser Beast Totem
3 Extreme Endurance, Improved Sunder
4 DR2/-, Superstition
5 Mounted Combat
6 DR3/-, Fire Resist1, Beast Totem
7 Extra Rage Power: Witchunter
8 DR4/-, Spell Sunder
9 Fire Resist2, Strength Surge
10 DR5/-,Gtr Beast Totem
11 Greater Rage Combat Reflexes
12 Fire Resist3, DR6/-, Come and Get Me
13 Ride by Attack
14 DR7/-, Eater of Magic
15 Fire Resist4, Stunning Assault
16 DR8/-, Ghost Rager
17 Tireless Rage, Spirited Charge
18 DR9/-, Fire Resist5, Surprise Accuracy
19 Raging Brutality
20 Mighty Rage, DR10/-, Sunder Enchantment
The order may change but this covers everything AM BARBARIAN says he can do.
Note- as awesome as AM BARBARIAN IS. My build can drop things with a Lance Pounce full attack as well. WITHOUT NEEDING MOUNTED FEATS- A single Pounce full attack, using Raging Brutality vs a Caster or Creature with SLA does 360damage (since with reckless abandon, surprise accuracy all attacks hit except on a 1) and has to save vs daze.
AM BARBARIAN might miss one attack (since no reckless abandon) but does triple damage per strike with a lance so more than makes up for it.
I'd simply ride something tough, that can take a hit.
Note,
AM BARBARIAN could also forget Raging Brutality and Sunder Enchantment and take Ferocious Mount and Gtr Ferocious Mount to let Batty Bat Rage and Gain Superstition to saves.
It does NOT require the Mount class feature. Only that you be mounted. So it works on Batty Bat.

My people have survived on the tundra for centuries, hunting the elk and killing the frost worms that dare attack us from the backs of the mastadons who share our lands!!!

You mean when pouncing and charging mounted with a lance, you get triple damage on ALL attacks, not just the first?
I would never allow that at my table, nor would I allow combining pounce and ride-by-attack.
That's the tactic I believe he's using.
You can charge while mounted.
Pounce lets you full attack while charging.
Sprited Charge means you do triple damage on a charge with a lance.
(Personally our group doesn't allow combining Sprited Charge with pounce, but Calain Heartstrike does 360 HP damage on a Pounce anyway AND makes them save vs Dazed. Usually gets the job done)
Rules don't give limitations for outsider, and maybe Tarrasque has a proper class, but obviously with such CR creatures is not size the problem. Also, no limitation to living creatures. If is not one of those, will be another. And 12 hours is like permanent, for adventure purpose.Polymorph any object functions like greater polymorph, except that it allows an object to become a creature, or a creature to become an object (and it can be permanent if the two are close enough to one another).
If you change something into a magical beast, like a Tarrasque, it functions like beast shape IV. That means that you're limited to no more than a Large magical beast (such as a Manticore, for example). You can't turn something into a Colossal magical beast. Period.
Nice try, though.

Ok, let's forgive outsider.
Golem or undead. You have not limitations in moprhing the object of the spell in a "non living". No previous spell to copy, you use monster stats.Obviously is not the way is meant to be used, but it works.
Remember, this is just an exercise about rules, I don't play in such way.

Rules state so. All attack should be multiplied.
This is another rule that I changed. I feel disgusted even thinking about multiple attacks with a lance... or using it without charging. Ridicolous.

Employ whatever houserules you wish!
I once fought a Balor who had been released upon this world by a foolish mage.The Balor didn't believe a simple barbarian could do enough damage to beat him in single combat.
He only believed it for about 6 seconds...
Hey,
do eastern weapons still just count as martial?
If so, Calain is wielding a Naodachi he took from a Ronin. 5 attacks, all hitting with a 18-20/x2 1d10 wpn? Yes please!

Eastern weapons don't count as martial weapons, however the Nodachi inexplicably is just a martial weapon.
Its good that you don't play this way because this isn't how the rules work either. You can only do what the spell says. The spell says as though spells x, y, or z were cast on the target. Those are your only options. It doesn't matter that what you're trying to do was legal in 3.5, this is a different game. It doesn't matter that what you're trying to do is thematic with the spell, that's not the rules. All that matters is that you pick, x, y, or z and do that. And neither x, y, nor z allows turning into undead or constructs.Ok, let's forgive outsider.
Golem or undead. You have not limitations in moprhing the object of the spell in a "non living". No previous spell to copy, you use monster stats.
Obviously is not the way is meant to be used, but it works.

Read better the spell description. You can morph into a non living, golem and undead are non living. Obviously you can handle this using the new spells like undead shape, but this tread has nothing to do with common sense.

Sorry, incorrect again.
PAO allows you to turn a creature into a non-living OBJECT. Constructs and undead are non-living, but they are not objects; they are creatures. PAO acts as greater polymorph, which lists precisely which polymorph effects it emulates. If it ain't listed, you cain't do it. PAO also lets you turn things into objects, but non-living creatures aren't objects, so no go.
The spell says what it does and does what it says. It does not do other things that it does not say it does.
Fireball does not create smoke or destroy the oxygen in a room.
Lightning bolt does not magnetize or fuse metal objects together.
PAO does not allow you to polymorph things in any way other than the ways stipulated by the spell.
That's the tactic I believe he's using.
You can charge while mounted.
Pounce lets you full attack while charging.
Sprited Charge means you do triple damage on a charge with a lance.(Personally our group doesn't allow combining Sprited Charge with pounce, but Calain Heartstrike does 360 HP damage on a Pounce anyway AND makes them save vs Dazed. Usually gets the job done)
Well it can go in very looong debate.For example,on pounce.
Pounce (Ex) When a creature with this special attack makes a charge, it can make a full attack (including rake attacks if the creature also has the rake ability).
Your mount is charging,not you.There are many debates about that one,and many have different opinion thou.Becuase of that you have movement of 300+ in charge.Not even monk can charge that much.
Also in the pounce description it say full attack is at the END of a charge,so i doubt ride-by-attack is possible.
You are making triple damage because of run-up you made,so after first attack you dont have that speed anymore.Only if you tranform into jedi that can hit 5 times in less than a second with lance that is very long weapon.Doubt even jedi could do that.
P.S.I was just wandering,is there any weapon that gives its enchancment bonus to sunder attempts?Becuase someone mentioned earlier that with +7 furious weapon you count +7 for sunder attempts as well.
If your mount charge, you do also. If not, you don't charge, don't take move action so you can do all attacks.
As rules state, you can use pounce to make all attacks, you can (sigh) do it with a lance, all of them x3 dmg, but you can't use ride by attack.Every manouver you do with a weapon uses the weapon's bonus.
What I suggest: give the x3 dmg only for first attack, and don't let ppl using a lance for attack outside of a charge or make multiple attacks.
If you defend from a manouver targeting your weapon apply the enchantment bonus to CMD.

Got manual in hands. It's a translated version, so includes updates. It states clearly "you can use this spell to transform all kinds of objects and creatures in new forms, without the limitation of turning a living in another living being."
The purpose is clear, but it's not about purpose that people discuss here.I write this as I wrote previous post to show how discuss builds is proper, trying to bend rules to power play is stupid.
The Divination Wizard still goes first. You cannot start rage on my turn.
Can any of these barbarians survive one round of spell casting?
** spoiler omitted **...
The funny thing about most of the posts about casters destroying AM BARBARIAN is that they are riddled with errors.
Forwarned will give you a init of 30, where are you getting the 18 more that would give you a 48 init.Arcane sight has a range of 60ft.
Greater Dispel Magic is a 6th level spell, quickened it's 10th.
If you are holding a metamagic rod and a sword you can't cast.
If you do an area dispel, by definition it's no longer a targeted dispel, and area dispels dont affect items.
Foretell takes a standard action to activate.
Actually, he doesn't have an additional -4 to his will save. The Superstition bonus doesn't stack with the +4 Will bonus they normally get. So it would just be the -13 from Superstition down. And that will heavily effect their %'s you gave.
But because AM BARBARIAN had his hair pulled by mean girls when he was a kid, he took Strong Willed for +2 vs Charm/Compulsion
Arcane Sight will give you aura strength and schools (with a roll, but it's safe to assume you'd blow through that).
5 effects, starting at most powerful would mean 1 ring of spell turning is good.
Weapon: CL 15 (200k + MW cos)
Armor: CL 15 (even if it's just +1 Armor of Heavy Fort) (36k+MW cost)
Ring of Spell Turning CL 13 x2 (200k, 100k each)
Scarab of Protection CL 18 (38k)
Cloak of Resistance +5 CL 15 (25k)
He still has plenty of cash to build his belt of awesome, his boots of speed, etc. (Belt is CL 12) Even throw BATTY BAT a ring of ST maybe.
1 ring would survive.
Though the rings do take an action to activate. But with 2 rings he can have 7 hours of coverage which is a fairly hefty chunk of time for the work day. If it was on, it would add another effect (the Spell turning put upon him by the ring in addition to the ring itself)
But let's not worry about that.
On his action he would get a reroll with a +2 (oh, he can now rage) because your orders to Give his Loot he earned by stepping on the corpses of his enemies' is NOT really in the nature of a CN character.
Also, you gave 3 commands, not 1. So assuming it lands, AM BARBARIAN's turn rolls around and realizes he just got mind swizzled. Casting is obvious and he isn't prone to liking any unexplained casting. He can't rage for some reason. Well, that's against his Rage-tastic All Caps nature so BAM of how he rolls and smites CASTYS. Bam. New roll with +2.
But I have doubts it would matter. He charges, no rage, just a charge with his (Currently) MW Lance. He still has his strength belt because it wasn't hit by the dispel. He can output 90% likely about 90 damage (Don't flub the save or die from massive damage, which you should make) and has about a 5% chance to just outright kill you with a critical.
Or he could turn on the ring. His gear is is going to turn back up soon.
Also, you have a rod in hand and a sword. I didn't see Still spell to make that Dispel Magic not need the Somantic components.
That's also not taking into consideration the actions to draw said items. But we can assume I guess you just walk around with them in hand all the time because the above scenerio doesn't take the 'spotting people' into account. AM BARBARIAN can draw his lance as part of the charge action so he doesn't need a feat really for that. I mean, how weird is it to carry a sword all the time for the Init bonus you don't need?
