30 points? Heh. That's about a 40 pt character under 3.5. Pathfinder Adventure Path books assume a party of 4 15-point characters. I believe Pathfinder Society scenarios assume a party of 4 20-point characters. You may want to prohibit summoners and gunslingers until you're more comfortable...

Frank, the feat you're thinking of is to allow a person to counter-attack an enemy with reach that would not normally provoke an AoO. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/strike-back-combat---final So if the dragon was biting you from 30 feet away, you could still stab it. I'd...

The Angel-Kin come from Blood of Angels - paizo.com - Blood of Angels The Legalistic curse comes from Blood of Fiends - paizo.com - Blood of Fiends Both books are part of Paizo's Player Companion line. If you don't think the character will even make it to L11, then yeah, something like the...

A couple comments: 1) Re: dual-cursed - the one drawback for haunted can be a bit of a killer for a melee character - it's a standard action to draw your weapon instead of a move action that you can perform as part of movement. So unless I'm reading it wrong, if you have the Haunted curse and...

Here's a simple suggestion - if you want to make the party coming together to be as smooth and simple as possible, then work out a back story where you already know each other. Maybe some of you are family members. Maybe some of you are long time rivals. Fine details will depend on what...

Having played all the way through Kingmaker - Yeah, we domesticated the kobolds. Our gnome summoner also started rearing owlbears. Kingdom building was neat at first, but was a serious chore by book 5. We also had about 12 districts worth of cities and were using an excel spreadsheet to...

It wasn't until late in the campaign that he had the ability to drop AoE spells back to back. Earlier he'd only one have one or two fireballs or equivalents, and he had the empower arcana so that when he did chuck that fireball, it HURT. Wands and using pool points was also a key part of...

Blaster: Our magus was the party's primary blaster. As he levelled up and gained more spells per day and more pool points, it got easier for him to be tank, slasher, and blaster all at once. Wyroot: It sure sounds nice, but I doubt you actually have to have it. As you get higher level...

My vague recollections of my party's tiefling magus in the Serpent Skull adventure path: 1) He had a mithril breastplate. 2) He took the arcanas for being able to use wands with spell combat with full caster level, which meant a great deal of fireballing later in the campaign. 3) He took...

Ultimate Combat has a variant rule that may be of use - Called Shots

I chose # 7 as "i owned a number of books, played 4E heavily, and now I am done with it." To go into more detail: I own a substantial number of 4E books - in fact, I think I own most of the hardback books that weren't a campaign specific book. I own exactly 1 of the Essentials books, and...

A cleric taking your prestige class will give up or least greatly delay their L8 domain powers, so they are making a sacrifice to take this. I assume the holy blast is added to Channel Energy, but I'm not entirely clear on that from the class's description. The blast having scaling results...

First off, SPOILERS. If you're planning to play through the adventure path, you shouldn't read my post.

In 3.x I'd found Turn Undead to be pretty worthless (especially since a lot of undead had massive amount of hit dice, making them functionally immune to the power), but the divine feats eventually salvaged it. Basically, Turn Undead was crap until you had feats that let you burn up turning...

Well, magic counters magic... I would suggest doing something along the lines of what Neil Spicer did in Blood for Blood, book 4 of Kingmaker... An evil knight as your final villian is fine; just remember that he'll need protective measures to not get smashed, just like any other "puny...
