Please provide a rules citation for this. This is a very handy class feature, but does not specifically indicate that a zen archer monk can suddenly flank with his bow. It indicates that the monk can take attacks off opportunity with his bow, and indicates that he is considered to be flanking...

Indeed. The wand would get more use for sneak attack under circumstances where the target is denied their dex bonus (first turn against an opponent that hasn't gone, or any situation under which the opponent is unaware of the rogue, etc.), which is really no different than any other...

If a wand of scorching ray is too expensive for you, unless you happen to find one in the field, (and certainly at low levels, that makes sense) a wand of ray of frost or acid orb clocks in at a much more reasonable 375gp (or 7.5 gp per shot). Granted, neither spell deals as much damage on...

That is true, regarding spell-trigger items and sneak attack. Our party rogue in EN Publishing's War of the Burning Sky regularly kept a CL5 wand of Shocking Grasp (I think later supplemented by an inflict wand of some sort, and a wand of scorching ray) as alternatives to use when he could not...

Heh. Our alchemist in Legacy of Fire actually goes by 'Crazy Rashid' for short, though he is quick to point out that while he _is_ crazy, he is not mad, nor insane.

The 3.5 version of the War of The Burning Sky (from ENWorld!) has an NPC that uses a custom spell called Severing Slash. It is an 8th level spell that does a fair amount of bleed damage, or can optionally sever a limb. I believe it is in Adventure 8: O, Wintry Song of Agony. If I recall, they...

I just thought I would re-post something that Jason Bulmahn put up on the Paizo boards. So, it looks like the gun rules that we have been given for the playtest are the Golarion setting-specific rules, and Ultimate Combat will contain multiple firearms options. This pleases me, even if I...

Thank you kindly. Bookmarked :)

It looks like your Wild Priest is something like a character that would oppose technology in a steampunk setting. That seems pretty reasonable. You've given them a good fortitude save, d10 HD, full base attack bonus, 1st-6th level spell progression, wild shaping, smites and a variety of other...

I have heard good things about the Tudors, though I have not seen it as of yet. As reference for DumbPaladin, Zack Snyder has also directed the Dawn of the Dead remake, 300, The Watchmen, and the upcoming Sucker Punch.

Paizo does update the pdfs with the most recent errata, and will send you an automated e-mail about the new download.

Only the musket and the pistol are in the playtest. The other guns will be coming later in the Inner Sea Worldguide, and (presumably duplicated and/or expanded) in ultimate combat. We've been given enough guns for the playtest and that's it.

Here you go.

So to you turning invisible, moving through walls, and alchemy/bombs translates to: Whereas to me, it translates to a rogue with a few specialized powers. The ninjas in the beta test can: 1. Get bomb-related abilities (smoke bombs, choking bombs, poison bombs, etc.) 2. Turn invisible...

Kaisoku has a pretty good review of the Gunslinger class Here. It summarizes many of my thoughts on the class. Basically, I dislike how Paizo has chosen to handle firearms, and that colors my view of the class. I would have very much liked to see _these_ rules Beta tested, but my...

So (for example) a 10th level Paladin's smite would not work on Strahd, but also would not work on a common zombie or skeleton? Is that to sort of preserve the threat level of the 'massed hoard' of low-level undead? Also, I'm curious as to whether your DM allows more traditional Turning (as...

This is kind of a quick one. :) For this particular familiar ability, their effective HD is their master's character level rather their class level or caster level. So the familiar of a Fighter5/Wizard5 would have 10 virtual hit dice for effects that are related to hit dice (Sleep spells...

No dispute on the phrasing there. I checked the 3.0 and 3.5 srds as well. The phrasing is identical for 3.5, and is very similar for 3.0. I admit that I do have trouble picturing a situation where a familiar would normally have a higher HD than its Master. Possibly where improved familiars...

Even drugged would make sense. Didn't real gladiatorial combat against animals often involve the animal being drugged, or chained to something?

I'm going to have to agree with Mojo Rat on this one. This isn't a case of 'The Rules don't specifically say I _can't_ do this, so I totally can!'. The specific rules on familiars trump the general rules on magical beasts. They are a class feature with a very specific progression, which is...
