1. what is my speed in the earth?
2. do they get attacks of opportunities?
3.Can I attack while underground?
4. Can I "surface" in a group of them forcing them to make a reflex or acrobatics check to see if they get out of the way or fall to the ground? 5.If attacking a fort or a castle can I pass through the stone walls? How about the floor?
1)Your speed changes to match that of the creature you become. So 20 feet for a large earth elemental.
2)You would be totally underground. They couldn't hit you even if they wanted to.
3)Yes. However, do note that you get no ability to see anything on the surface while you are underground. You would have to treat your targets as if they were invisibile (must guess which square they are in, and even if you get it right there is still a 50% miss chance). You do not gain the tremorsense ability of the earth elemental. (Even if you did, it only allows you to pinpoint the square they are in. You would still have the 50% miss chance if you could not actually see them.)
4)No.
5) you can pass through "stone, dirt, or almost any other sort of earth except metal". Castle walls are stone, so you can pass through them. The floor as well (assuming the floor is stone or dirt, and not wood.)
I have two questions right now about the Druid and I wanted to get everyone's opinion (or as many as I can).
I am playing a Lvl 11 Druid. (maybe useless info to some but I feel that this is important)
1. At level 9 I because immune to poisons... natural/nature & character made... The verbage reads...Venom Immunity (Ex): At 9th level, a druid gains immunity to all poisons... Pathfinder Core
-in reading this I'm thinking my character could drink a wine bottle for example filled with...Tears of Death...DC 22 Fort save...(now to my understanding I wouldn't have to roll that because of Venom Immunity.
...Am I correct in thinking that? Would this apply to large amounts ale/wine? (technically those are poisons)
Correct, you could drink a bottle of poison with not so much as heartburn. Thats what immunity to poisons means.
So say I shift into a Large Earth Elemental...in reading this I can "dive" into the earth go under/around the enemy and "surface" behind them. While I'm moving past them...1. what is my speed in the earth? 2. do they get attacks of opportunities? 3.Can I attack while underground?
4. Can I "surface" in a group of them forcing them to make a reflex or acrobatics check to see if they get out of the way or fall to the ground? 5.If attacking a fort or a castle can I pass through the stone walls? How about the floor?
1. Same as your base speed (while in the elemental form)
2. If you are in the earth at the time, you have full concealment, thus no attacks of opportunity. If you are for some reason not completely in the earth, they do.3. You must come out of the earth to attack.
4. No earth glide is essentially seamless, you dont disrupt the earth you pass through significantly, there is no hole or pit created.
5. So long as there is no metal worked into the walls or floor, yes.
By the way, since elemental body doesnt say so, you dont get earth mastery, just earth glide.

don't see why not, drink all the poison you want too.
1) 20 feet is your movement speed. This is based on the limits of the elemental.
2) no AoO cause you are in perfect cover
3) this one is a little more tricky. there are 2 sets of opinions. some will let you attack from the stone surface, some will require you to exit. some of the difference is based on how tremorsence works and whether you would get it with wildshape. going to have to ask your GM how he would rule it.
4) i would rule this as an overrun or bull rush CBM.
5)Earth Glide (Su): You can pass through stone, dirt, or almost any other sort of earth except worked stone. With this in mind I guess depends on the castle. Most will be worked stone, but the basement may not be.
Earth glide - tremorsense = Earth blunder, doesn't it? It looks like RAW, Elemental Body doesn't give one the senses needed to properly use Earth glide.
Why wouldn't I get earth mastery? If is doesn't say I don't get it, then I would say I could get it... but not my game to run, I will bring that up with the GM (final word).
Personally I feel that while shape shifting you should get to benefit from characteristics of these creatures..(as a druid you are spending your life learning about and being one with Nature, I feel that you would know a thing or two about the creatures you are turning into)... That being said I strongly feel that your skills and HPs should remain the same.--again GM's final word.
Because you only get what the spell and ability specifically say you get. Every polymorph/shapechage effect works the same. You get the general polymorph effects, plus a few extras depending on the spell the ability duplicates. Earth Mastery is never mentioned, so you do not get it.
I noticed some different answers from people on the question of what your movement speed i when you shift, since the spell only references other form of movements. would you get the new forms ground movement speed? or the worse between your own and the new forms movement speed? so in cheetah form you would only get your own speed, while the earth elemental mentioned, being worse than base-medium 30ft speed, you would be forced to take the 20ft. which way does it work?
From the general polymorph rules, which all shapechanging effects and abilities use:
Polymorph: A polymorph spell transforms your physical body to take on the shape of another creature. While these spells make you appear to be the creature, granting you a +10 bonus on Disguise skill checks, they do not grant you all of the abilities and powers of the creature. Each polymorph spell allows you to assume the form of a creature of a specific type, granting you a number of bonuses to your ability scores and a bonus to your natural armor. In addition, each polymorph spell can grant you a number of other benefits, including movement types, resistances, and senses. If the form you choose grants these benefits, or a greater ability of the same type, you gain the listed benefit. If the form grants a lesser ability of the same type, you gain the lesser ability instead. Your base speed changes to match that of the form you assume. If the form grants a swim or burrow speed, you maintain the ability to breathe if you are swimming or burrowing. The DC for any of these abilities equals your DC for the polymorph spell used to change you into that form.

This is explaned in the magic section under the polymorph supbschool of transmutation. You get the base speed and movement forms of a creature you turn into.

Not quite. You always get the creatures base speed (that is, it normal land speed). You only get the special movement modes the individual spell or ability says you get, such as Elemental Body I granting a swim speed for water elementals.
You only automatically gain the base speed for the creature you turn into. Special movement types (swim, climb, fly, burrow) all depend on the spell used or duplicated.
i think it's pretty self explanatory, immunity to poison is immunity to poison. my question is, in what circumstances would you think you would still be affected by poison? usually if a creature has some ability to bypass someone's immunity it will specifically say so in the ability. the down side to this, is you can't get drunk :)
You speed is that of the creature you change into. You do not gain the fly or swim speeds unless stated in the spell. It states you get the earthglide ability so you get that at the speed of the creature you change into.
"4. Can I "surface" in a group of them forcing them to make a reflex or acrobatics check to see if they get out of the way or fall to the ground?"
As a GM, I would consider it impossible to just surface in a square without treating it as moving through an ally or enemy space. If deliberately trying to knock an enemy aside when surfacing, I would treat it as a bull rush without the AO since the enemy can't tell you're coming. If your bull rush fails, you do not emerge. If it is successful, your bull rush pushes the target in a random direction, if you are going straight up, or in the applicable direction if you come up at an angle. I would not allow you to throw enemies into the air (except in flavor text), be knocked prone, or take damage you cannot see the enemy in order to angle yourself precisely enough for that.
The ability says immune to all poisons. There is no stipulation that they need to be natural venoms despite the name. No booze, no poison consumed, no poison bites, no poison injections, no poison spell (it states in the spell description that it infects you with a poison, not that it inflicts with the effects of the poison).
