The text of Improved Counterspell reads: Are you able to use a lower level spell with a spell-level increase from Metamagic to counter the spell being cast? For example, let's say you use Spellcraft to identify that an enemy caster is casting Summon Monster I. Could you use a Mage Armor...

When you're hit with a Metamagic Disruptive Spell, are you aware you're under its effects? In other words, would you bother to cast a spell the round after you're hit with it or would you be aware that it will be harder to cast during that time and decide to do something else on your turn? Thanks

Some of the other players in a group I'm playing in have asked me to DM a similar game for them with fewer characters and higher level. They'd like to use their same characters but have the game set in the future where instead of being Level 3's they wanted to be Level 15's. I'd like to...

Yes, figuring out that my party is responsible for the creature's death would be less than helpful...

Maybe Calligraphy could be used with a penalty? For instance, my wife is a wonderful artist (she even majored in Fine Arts). While this example is the reverse, she can draw better than anybody I've ever known and last year she bought a calligraphy book and picked it up almost immediately...

What skill would I use for drawing or sketching? Craft (Calligraphy) seems to be the best option since it involves penmanship and intricately detailed writing. Is there another option you'd recommend?

Yeah, usually I type into Chrome d20pfsrd.com: blahblahblah and it automatically searches that website. I just didn't find Take 20 there on this particular search. Thanks a bunch for answering me!

I see. So it would probably be best for me, the Wizard, to perform the autopsy along with a Cleric, Ranger, Druid or other character who would be better trained at identifying creatures. That way, they could do the autopsy and I could attempt to learn more about the creature as a whole. My...

The physical copy of Core Rulebook is on loan to one of my friends, I'm too lazy to search the PDF and usually Google comes up with answers from both the PRD and d20pfsrd.org.

Thanks, I'll ask my DM what his opinion on this idea is.

My Wizard wants to perform an autopsy on a creature the group just defeated which everyone failed their Knowledge skill to determine what it was. Out of character, I do know it was an aberration. Would I use Heal for this? Or would a Knowledge (Dungeoneering) suffice? Thanks!

I searched "Pathfinder Take 20" on google, and found no results. Does that mean that the "Take 20" ability for skills no longer exists?

The DM has recommended he take Giants as his FE since they'll likely play a significant role in the campaign. He also has Forrest as his FT. Our party is actually far from the typical group of adventurers, which shows that our DM favors fun characters who we'll enjoy playing rather than the...

I've come up with two feats which I think would be interesting for clerics with the Luck or Chaos domains to use. Please let me know what you think. I feel they would add some fun flavor to these types of characters. :) Chaotic Channeling You never know whether your deity will allow you to...

So his character won't be as optimized to the fullest, no big deal. I'm sure he'll have fun with the character, and since he's new our DM will definitely let him switch to something else if he doens't like it. The same will go for his wife who has decided to play our Cleric even though she's...

The Hobgoblin gets to treat stealth as a class skill for any class they choose, but I agree with you wholeheartedly. I also think he'll have more fun with the Ranger because of the skills they get for out-of-combat play. Thanks, Ahnehnois :)

In an upcoming game one of my friends is going to be DMing for us, another one of our friends has expressed interest in playing even though he's never played before in the past. The DM's primarily focus is on character development rather than mechanically optimized characters which I really...

Oh my, I can't believe I didn't see that! When I typed in "Elven lifespan" into the d20pfsrd search, it did not show that page

I also had around 550 years as the average in my mind as well. And since it was you, Morris, I'm going to definitely agree :)

As usual, Elves in Pathfinder have extremely long lifespans measured in centuries. Does anybody actually know how long that lifespan would be? For instance, say an event follows a timespan like the geyser Old Faithful except instead of occurring every 91 minutes it occurs every 300 years...
