What about the case of Gnomes getting a bonus against Giants? Should they, being Gnomes, also automatically know when they're fighting Giants? And this makes me wonder... is there any mechanical advantage to knowing the type of a creature?

When a character gets a bonus of some sort against a certain type of enemy, does that character need to know for sure if/when he is fighting against the specified type in order to get the bonus? If not, having the bonus (or not) gives away the info... Examples that have come up in my game...

I like the GM screen, but I have the same problem with it that I do with all screens - I forget that there is information on the inside and tend to look everything up in the rulebook.

Enhancement bonuses from a spell like Bull's Strength don't stack with the enhancement bonus from a Belt of Giant Strength, right?

Got any advice on magic items?

Was it? I don't know, I read about the Alchemist on the SRD, so isn't that stuff placed in already?

When an Alchemist "casts" an extract by drinking it, how long does this action take? The SRD says "as if imbibing a potion," which I would take to mean that it would cost a single move action to drink the extract. Is this true? And what about extracts mimicking spells with a longer cast time...

I decided not to go with Viv Alchemist due to flavor, so sneak attacking is out for me. But that means that the more overt combat feats are in, so any advice on those?

This character will be in the same party as the alchemist I'm making at level 6, by the way. Archery Ranger. The guy has Point Blank/Rapid/Precise already, plus Improved Precise. Also Weapon Focus. Passed on Point Blank Master for Improved Precise. What do you mean "threaten a sizeable area?"

Well, I'm starting at level 6 and want to use the Beastmorph archetype. I'm going pure melee damage via mutagens. I've got a 7 charisma, so since Intimidate is not a class skill for Alchemists, I think that's a bad route for this character. I've been trying to come up with more feats other...

My other character is dead, so I'm throwing this guy together now. A change since I made this thread is that I now have access to both Ultimate Magic and Ultimate Combat.

Is there any one major, awesome feat that an archery character should be working toward?

I also disagree with the stated goal. I don't think the purpose of a magic user is to shut down other magic users. Magic is too versatile and the game itself is too fluid for such a specific role.

We just need to know what the monster is. That's all.

If you get "some" spell slots back, you get them "all" back. Divine spellcasters do NOT need 8 hours of rest before preparing their spells. They merely need to pray at the specified time or at the first opportunity if they miss that time. In a game that I ran, "first opportunity" would be...

I'm actually really interested in this for some reason... I hope the OP comes back.

I think France is supposed to be Galt, not Varisia.

What creatures are they? What book are they from? What is the monster's CR? Are you running a published adventure? If so, which one?

I would say that this is not normal. In every game I've played, the Fighter is one of the toughest PCs in the group, and while he can be killed it usually takes more than one round of one monster using full attack. This leads me to believe the Fighter is doing something wrong. Do you guys...

I think the Summoner class itself is seen as a little bit unbalanced (too powerful) by some of the community. As for the archetypes, I think there are some that are clearly "bad", which makes the others good by comparison.
