I have a dream. Using APG’s Summoner’s Eidolon format, convert the Book of Incarnum Totemist to Pathfinder. The Totemist would no longer use Incarnum as the source of their power. No more unborn souls as a battery. Pharasma would be angry ;) Instead, Totemists draw power from...? Maybe the same...

Would it be game breaking if a sorcerer had the ability to scribe a scroll using a spell from a captured spellbook? The sorcerer would have to take the feat Scribe Scroll, obviously. The sorcerer would also have to make a Spellcraft check, or use Read Magic to initially read the spell...

The feat "Sculpt Spell" from Complete Arcane allows a change in area shape/effect for +1 spell level. I have a question about one of the area layouts. The "4 ten-foot cubes" version, exactly how does that work? Do the four cubes area have to touch at some point? If not, how much space can...

Okay, I know there are substitution levels out there for elven paladins, and probably a feat somewhere, but really: Is it all that bad to allow Smite Evil to be used normally with both melee and ranged weapons/attacks? I can't see any real balance issues allowing a regular paladin to get smite...

After a brief discussion in the Rules thread, I wanted to pass along this idea for a bard feat. I'd like to know more opinions if it's balanced or not. The feat "Inspired Defense" would allow a Bard to expend 1 daily use of their Bardic Music ability and give the Bard's allies a morale bonus to...

Is there a feat or class option, or anything else, that can change the Bard's Inspire Courage ability to boost AC instead of attack and damage? For example: At level 1, expend a daily use of bardic music to give your allies a +1 bonus (morale, dodge, etc) to AC. It acts as Inspire Courage in...

Soon I'm handing the DM reins over, for a while. I bought the Shackled City AP (only read relevant parts of starting the adventure) and will be handing that AP off to a player who'll DM. There are only 4 of us in the group, so we have 3 players. The AP states it was made ideally for 6...

Are there any official rules about recharging magic items, particularly staffs? This is more for flavour reasons, but also to put back in limited charges if money or time is a factor. Would a rough guide of 1 charge = cost of staff divided by 50 be appropriate? Cheers

Psionic Shot provides +2D6 damage on a ranged attack when psionic focus is expended. Greater Manyshot allows precision damage on every arrow fired. Questions: 1) Does Psionic Shot provide precision damage? 2) If it does provide precision damage, and Psionic Shot were used (psionic focus...

My group started playing the Pathfinder Rise of the Runelords adventure path. My wife is playing a Shoanti Ranger 2, following the Archery combat style. She's about to upgrade to 3rd lvl and wants a little change. She wants a different class to mix with the ranger, but is only looking for a 1-2...

A 2nd level scout moves 10 feet and attacks using a cold iron weapon. The damage dealt is [regular weapon damage] and +1D6 from Skirmish. Is that +1D6 damage also considered cold iron damage, or is it unnamed? If a creature has DR 5 / cold iron, would the +1D6 skip the DR along with the...

Alright, so there are frequent questions about using Augment Healing, Augment Summoning, etc when using wands or wondrous items. Is there any way to add the benefit of feats to a spell when crafting an item? If so, are those benefits only usable by the person who crafted the items, by anyone...

The title says it all. Is there a feat that makes activation of Bardic Music a Move action instead of a Standard action? Cheers.

1)Improved Trip - With the Strength vs Str/Dex check, who wins in a tie? 2) Can you use Improved Trip as your attack action with Spring Attack? 3) Can you use Stunning Fist as your attack action with Spring Attack? 4) Can you use Stunning Fist multiple times in a flurry? (If you're a monk and...

Scenario: Group is infiltrating a village where a necromancer has been busy making undead. Clusters of skeletons stand together, randomly placed around the village. Individual zombies shuffle aimlessly about. Their orders are to attack anything that attacks them, or attack things that are...

The Bleakborn, from Libris Morties pg. 86, can't die very easily. Or am I missing something? According to its Contigent Healing, even when reduced to 0 or less hp it is not destroyed! It will start healing again once a living creature is within 30 ft. So, it seems the only thing that can...

Does the Dread Necromancer's undead stat boosting abillity (sorry, don't have my book at work), the one boosting his created undead by +4 Str and +2 hp per HD, stack with the Corpsegrafter feat? Cheers

Can Desecrate be used as the spell effect for an Unhallow spell? Or is the list of spell effect choices in the Unhallow spell description exclusive? Cheers

A simple conversion. Create an arcane version of Grave Strike for wizard/rogue multi-classes. The spell is almost exactly the same, except it's arcane. 1st level spell, 1 swift action casting time, 1 round duration, V component only (this is the only change, more in line with Golem Strike)...

Was there a reason a Rod of Metamagic, Still was not included in the DMG? (or other splatbooks for that matter) The rods would help in a grapple, allowing more spells to be cast. Still need to make Concentration checks, but at least there's a chance. Would it be within reason to make one...
