Too bad, but thanks for the explanation!

Hey guys, going to run a low-level PF game shortly with some Darkmantles prominently featured. That caused me to reread the Darkness spell. Which made me wonder: does magical Darkness completely shut off non-magical light sources? This spell causes an object to radiate darkness out to a...

I like your retooling of the Dastana, @delericho , but I think that your earlier statement that it "probably shouldn't exist" is entirely more to the point. Dastana are metal bracers. Most armor already includes some form of arm guards. So wearing metal bracers along with it shouldn't do...

How about the "blaze of glory" idea, turned evil, and up to eleven? The whole clan makes a last fighting stand, children included. Those too weak or wounded to fight on commit ritual suicide. The Sorceress pledges her life and that of her clan to revenge. PCs plus huntsmen move in, steamroller...

Having mere speed bumps once in a while is incredibly fun as a player IME. You see how powerful you've become (especially if you just trounced something that posed a real challenge some time ago!), you get some cheap gratification from the victory itself (nice to get once in a while), and most...

Yeah, definitely no rancor! I'm just trying to state in the clearest (and maybe slightly forceful :p) terms what I think the rules say in this matter, and I've at least been convinced by your arguments that this isn't cut-and-dried, as I first thought. Keep it going!

Wasn't it you yourself who called it "Summon Jello IV"? The solid fog slows a person, but won't stop it. In fact, there is no evidence in the spell description that the movement of anything is actually stopped in a solid fog. It just slows stuff down, and doesn't interact with magical missiles...

And where do you take the "mass" thing from? A fireball's bead doesn't have mass either, or at least it's very much comparable to a ray effect IMO: ranged touch attack to strike stuff, magical in origin, no clear definition of its composition other than "it's magical". If rays worked "like beams...

My take is based on the following rules quotes: I see that Solid Fog doesn't, as a rule, stop magical targeted effects, i.e. rays "and the like". I also see that the (targettable) magical bead created by the Fireball spell detonates prematurely if it hits a "material body or solid barrier". I...

Yeah, XP giving has been down for me, too. Too bad, the XP feature may still be included, but it doesn't seem to be doing that much anymore. I really, really liked that about ENWorld. Mods, if it's a big deal to fix this, other things must of course be given priority. But if it isn't hard to...

I strongly recommend that you check out the basic general stacking rules found here. The gist of it: most modifiers in the game have a type. Modifiers of the same type don't stack. Modifiers of different types usually stack with each other. All you have to do is look up what kinds of modifiers...

Doesn't state you actually have to use the weapon in question. Just that you have to allocate bonuses before you'd do so. And before you go on to say that the "before using the weapon" bit implies you actually have to go on and use it, let me throw you this curveball: if that is indeed what is...

Yes, that's my opinion. So glad I could be of help... :p

Major problem with my post? That I'm trying to lay out lots of options (not all of which whill be available at the same time)? Is following the links and deciding what you want too much? Should I just tell you what you must do? OK, here's a class and feat progression: 1 - Bard - Nymph's Kiss...

Bards are excellent buffers and can be decent secondary or out-of-combat healers. At 1st level, there's only so much you can do, though, so don't expect to become a powerful addition to your party (in combat, that is) until a bit later. E.g., you don't even gain 1st level spells until you level...

I assume you started gaming with some form of D&D? Starting out a gaming career with D&D, I can see how it might be hard to break away from it, and liberating to have finally done it. D&Dism is a severe problem, maybe more with the community than with a gaming individual, though. Maybe I was...

Well, it's several different defending weapons, which stack with each other. And it's not as if you didn't spend a lot of gold on this trick. At the level where that kind of gold is available, and you can get reliable access to CL 15+ Greater Magic Weapon, sky-high AC is nice, for sure, but not...

Pro tip: use armor/shield spikes on everything where they'll go, enchant them with the Defending property, get your friendly neighbourhood wizard to renew some Greater Magic Weapon spells on them each morning, enjoy your sky-high AC. Until something comes along that doesn't care about AC, that is...

I voted for a mix of Arboretum, Colossus, and Moral Mind. There is a threefold agenda with this conspiracy, and it is all humanist: Premise: Industry is the greatest creation of humanity (used in the widest possible sense). It is proof that by working together as a well-organized whole, with...

First off, visit a temple of a god with the Travel domain, and obtain divine scrolls of basically every single domain spell. That one domain's quite the resource for utility! Next, do the same with a god offering Trickery, Water, Magic, Knowledge, Earth, and Air. Also, get your hands on the...
