Questions that were started in other threads, but that I don't believe were answered to their fullest. Good luck!
1) Can a soul escape from a Demiplane with the Dead Magic planar trait, if it has no portal? Can they do so if a portal exists, but is suppressed by antimagic at the other end? (General answer seems to be Yes, they Can escape.)
2) Targeting a Square or intersection far away (Ex: 2000ft): The intersection still has AC 5, if I'm not mistaken, or AC 3 if you consider it an unattended object. There are no obstructions to prevent sight or line of effect. Do you require a Perception check to see it, or is only Line of Effect needed, to target it with a ray/arrow/spell?
3) Can you target a square within range of your ranged attack, if you have line of effect to it, but only see it through a Scrying Sensor, or other means of divination?
4) What constitutes as a "miss", for an Arcane Archer's imbued arrow ability, if what you're targeting is "wherever this arrow lands", or you fire blindly?
5) Do the Ethereal plane and Astral plane "touch" at all? Thus, can one be accessed magically from the other?
6) Do all forms of teleportation still use the Astral plane? (One thread mentions no, but the SRD still mentions yes...?)
7) Is Necessity to Breathe one of the aspects that can be included or excluded in a Timeless demiplane of one's own making? (A Demiplane with the Timeless planar trait)
8) Does a Pathfinder Chronicler's class level ( -2 ) contribute to their effective bard level when determining the luck bonuses granted by Archaeologist's Luck?
9) Can the Dead Magic planar trait suppress an Artifact? Can it contain a deity? A soul?
Good luck. ^_^ And thank you in advance!
2) For spells without an attack roll you need only line of sight. Ranged touch attacks need LoS and an attack roll against the targets touch AC (dont know a ranged touch spell/ability that targets a square..). Ranged attacks need LoS and an attack roll against the targets AC with penalties for cover and distance.
3) No. Exception are spells that have it in their description.
4) Make an attack roll and beat the AC of the target (a square or a creature..). If you do not beat the AC you have a miss.
5) Astral planes touches every other plane. Yes.
6) Yes because the astral plane touches every other plane.
9) An artifact is magical -> Yes
If the deity/soul travels to the plane with a portal -> Yes
Summoned to the plane -> No
All answers are my personal opinion or RAI :)

2) I agree... But this question was asked in respect to an Arcane Archer's imbue arrow. Maybe this is another question entirely, but Imbue Arrow never actually states it makes a ranged attack; Merely that it fires an arrow, and uses the Bow's max range as the Spell's range. In other words, you only need to Select a point of origin at a particular intersection, and only need Line of Effect to do so for typical Area spells. I was wishing there would be a universal answer for all 3 examples, when it came to needing a Perception check of some sort... because you can Still fire a bow "blindly", in its general direction of the Square, if you can Perceive it. Anyhoot, it's rather confusing in my head.
3) that saddens me. But I thank you, and would love to know if you have a Source of some sort to refer to.
4) Imbue arrow again. "When the arrow is fired, the spell's area is centered where the arrow lands"... yet " If the arrow misses, the spell is wasted". Therefore, I desire to fire the arrow Blindly, and my target is Wherever this arrow lands. Can I miss?
5 & 6) My initial interpretation, and seems to be supported by RAW. ^_^ I'll stick to that then. It gets a little strange, when it comes to the Inner planes though... but, acceptable. ^_^
9) A Dead Magic plane explicitly states that Nothing can get Either In Or Out, with one sole exception: The Planar Portal. I was unaware if Deities worked the same in Pathfinder, and if such 'mere mortal magic' could contain them.. but Far more important to me is the Soul question.
Thank you so much ^_^
Anyone else?
