Fiend Flayer Archetype + Padzahr = Actually Potentially Useful?


Rules Questions


So, for those who don't know, there is this god-awful archetype for the magus called the Fiend Flayer. The only thing that it has going for it is the fact that it doesn't alter any base abilities, so it's a free archetype for the Tiefling Magus. However, its central ability, Infernal Mortification, requires that you take 2 points of constitution damage in order to get back 1 arcane pool point. This damage cannot be cured by magical means, like lesser restoration. In fact, "Only time can heal the Constitution damage taken by way of infernal mortification."

However, I ran across the Alchemical Remedy, Padzahr, which states that it accelerates the natural process of healing Constitution damage; one dose (at 80gp a pop) allows you to restore 1 point of constitution damage with one hour of rest.

Now, the question is, does this work with restoring the constitution damage with infernal mortification? If so, while it doesn't make it a great ability, it does make it much more useful when you really need 1 more arcane pool point, since you can cure the 2 constitution damage with 80gp for 1 point, and a full night's rest for the other.


Been a month; Going to try bumping this one time, as I'm still quite curious about whether this works.

I would say yes because I'm a kind GM.


Unless it requires a "caster level" and/or a spell to craft, it would not be "magical" and therefore should work.

Any way the Magus could Magic Jar something and use its Constitution? Just a thought...
