That look good in theory but it assumes mage armor will be cast. A 24 AC can be hit by a CR 10 monster. The other issue is that large and bigger "pets" often run into space issues in closed areas like dungeons. Reduce person will have to be used Those attacks are not spelled out. I have no way...

1. It is poorly written because of the rules exceptions. As for exploits if a GM stick to Pathfinder material and makes sure it is built correctly there should not be issues. Every time someone says a summoner is broken, and they post a build mistakes are found and it is made to be manageable...

Tylerman is correct. I also found out that at least one of the Synthesis feats is a 3rd party feat that allows him to take a 10 ft step in place of a 5 ft step. I still don't know what the other one does. I would not allow 3PP feats to be combined with a class I was not familiar with.

You are taking this way to personally. Most of us don't come here or to any other forum to be right. If we are right then we are, but when proven wrong we have been educated, and that just makes us better gamers. It is a no-lose situation IMHO.

Depends on the GM if he can deal with it or not, but there is the sap master build that doubles sneak attack damage. It has to be nonlethal, but that is just a setup for a coup de grace.

Nobody is upset at you. We are just explaining why the regular summoner is better than the synthesis. I have never, and hopefully I never will, play in a group where the other PC's don't watch my back. If I am the party wizard or cleric, and the fighter allows an open path to me we will be...

The summoner like most casters has ways to keep enemies away. Dimension door is one, and since it is a medium BAB class it can be made to put out damage as well. So you have the eidolon bringing the pain, and the summoner doing it also, if it is not buffing the party. Yeah the summoner is an...

This is Wraithstrike. Your formula leaves quiet a few things unaccounted for. The number of attacks section makes a TWF based class look a lot better than they really are. The AC of the synthesis is comparable with a fighter or paladin that wants to get high AC. The feats need to be separated...

He would have to multiclass. I think the ranger and barbarian have archetypes that allow you to get claws.

Nothing about PF would make me want to play 5E. If I do play 5E it has nothing to do with PF. If I could fix something about PF it is the number of dice rolls. One thing I do like about 5E is that if you have an ability score of X some things are automatic. What I like about PF. It kept the...

Half-orcs are already viable. They can put 16 in the primary stat from point buy alone, use the +2 racial bonus from the half-orc, and add the +1 bonus at level 4 to get a 19. They also get orc ferocity allowing the low hp caster to stay up an extra round. They have darkvision which makes them...

Most people will put stats in that score anyway to make sure monsters fail saves, and to get extra spells. Needing a minimum of 19 for 9th level spell which can be had well before 10th level has nothing to do with it. It can actually be had by level 4, even if the player is not even trying hard.

I trust my players not to metagame if I tell them they are fighting creature X for the purpose of combat bonuses. The character does not know what the player knows. If I get a group of players that can't make the separation then I will handle the bonuses, and they just better hope I don't lose...

That spell does exist in any book that is PF or 3.5. I think now is the time to come up with codified rules. Giving a race immunity to fire or most anything else is normally a bad idea.

Casters(all of them) have a very big advantage in low magic games. They can just cast spell, while everyone else needs magic items to be affective. I think that dwarf is using 3.5 material or breaking some rules. I would post his stats here.

That is a GM and group playstyle issue. Some groups like it when the GM's pull punches, and others do not. If a creature is so strong that it is almost guaranteed to kill the Hi AC, Hi HP character then either the character needs to be remade or the GM needs to pick a different monster though.

It is a class feature. Any special ability that is gained as a result of having a class is a class feature. It qualifies for turn undead since it meets the feat prereqs. PS:Anything under "Class features" is a class feature. My book has mysteries beneath "class features".

I tried to give you XP for this post, but I got sent to some page that said "This document had no style information.". I don't know who to contact to fix it yet.

I think you should take on one issue at a time. You should also be clear as to when you are saying the rules allow this, and "this is how I would do it". Your readied action scenario of not using triggers is not legal, as an example. The rules demand a condition(trigger), but the way I read...

There is no hard and fast rules that work when using monsters as PC's. They were not designed to be used as PC's so you a a GM have to decide what can be allowed if it is not presented as a PC race. Even when allowing it you will have to take many things into consideration. They actually would...
