Okay, here is what is confusing me. According to the rules on combat rounds on page 178: Quote: Effects that last a certain number of rounds end just before the same initiative count that they began on. So if my cavalier employs "Strategy", as a standard action, then it would end right before...

Okay, so it has to be that one round. If I employ it at the start of combat, the fighter to the left of me (example) couldn't add +2 to his AC in round 5 of combat, correct? Assuming he had not used it up to that point. Thanks.

Hey gang. I'm playing a cavalier in our campaign at the local library and I'm playing a level 7 cavalier. I try to stay ahead and be ready for new abilities when I get them so that they don't become an issue in game and slow things down. At level 8, the cavalier with order of the dragon gets...

Hey gang. We had a question about a hybrid manticore pop up at our session last night. It was made using Hero Labs encounter builder. It's a dire manticore lion hybrid? According to the Paizo online entry, a union between a manticore and a dire lion gives an advanced manticore. Hero Labs...

A guy at our local D&D sessions started playing an alchemist. Interesting class, but it seems a bit difficult to get used to. Question, can a level 9 alchemist make potions like a +5 barkskin and +5 shield of faith? Thanks!

Okay, thanks for the replies. Apologies, I did mean phalanx soldier, not fighter. The confusion on my part comes partly from the FAQ. There are two entries, one says that with a lance (for example), you get power attacks full bonus and in another entry, it says that any feat or special ability...

Hey gang. I'm using Hero lab and I've got a question about the archetype, phalanx fighter. I guess I'm missing something but what's the point in being able to use a 2 handed weapon one handed, if you don't get the benefits of the two handed weapon? Hero Lab reduces the damage to a 1 handed...

Thanks for the info! :)

We have a gunslinger in our Pathfinder campaign. The question came up about whether or not he was allowed (or if it would be worth it) to take the Deadly Aim feat, because of the last line: "The bonus damage does not apply to touch attacks or effects that do not deal hit point damage." So can...

Okay, so my 1st level fighter is standing beside a wooden door in a dungeon, that my Halfling Paladin team mate has already kicked a hole in. He gets his leg back, after it was momentarily stuck and he felt something try to grab it. Then what looks like a pincer comes through and tries to hit...

Nah, he's a really nice guy. We talked it over, aside from game play and after we re-reading the spell description we all agreed and got it sorted out. Thanks for the reply! :)

I've got a question about the Paladin's "Stay the hand" ability. It's this part I wanted clarification on: "You can cast this spell when the target is about to make a melee attack against another creature" If I'm reading that correctly, as an immediate reaction, the player would have to use...

Hey. Was just curious about something... We've got a few Druids in our current party. I'm not so sure about them sometimes. Darned tree huggers. :) Anyway, one of them has a great ape for an animal companion. He multiclassed the ape (not his druid mind you) with a level of fighter, now he...

Yet another question... :) This came up in a conversation with some other players. Missile Shield says you have to be "aware" of the attack for it to work. One guy said that therefore, an archer shooting at you from behind would get around Missile Shield. I don't believe that it works like...

Hi. We had a session last night where some cr13 Ashmede Devils put "forcecage" on some characters. At first, players were trying to smash their way out, using the spell descriptions 30 hardness guide, but then someone said they could just "break" out with sudden force, so we were just wondering...
