re: Oracle's Haunted Curse and Heward's Handy Haversack

[ElyasRavenwood]

I have a quick question

With the Haunted curse the malicious spirits that follow your character, retrieving a stored item requires a standard action.

In the Heward's handy haversack's entry it says that retrieving any specific item from the haversack is a move action, that does not provoke an attack of opportunity.

So If an Oracle with the Haunted curse wishes to removed an item stored within his Heward's handy haversack, does he need to spend a Standard Action, or a Move action?

Thanks

I'd say the divine influence of the oracle's curse ("The oracle’s curse cannot be removed or dispelled without the aid of a deity.") means it overrides the handy haversack.
I'd say getting something with a move action counts as removing or dispelling.
Otherwise there is no downside to your curse after level 2.

On the plus side, I'd say you don't provoke.

A handy haversack doesn't negate the full round action, but it does allow you to find specific scrolls, etc. without worrying about the attack of opportunity.

Although it's certainly not nearly as useful. My haunted oracle just got a bag of holding instead.

Thank you, Jaxtile, those were my thoughts as well, that the divine curse would over ride the magic of the magic haversack.

Mergy, I believe the handy haversack reduces from a standard to a move action the act of retrieving a stored object.

no, retrieving a stored item is a move action in pathfinder, not a standard action. all the haversack does is remove the AoO in that instance.
