Hey gang. I'm playing a cavalier in our campaign at the local library and I'm playing a level 7 cavalier. I try to stay ahead and be ready for new abilities when I get them so that they don't become an issue in game and slow things down. At level 8, the cavalier with order of the dragon gets...

Hey gang. We had a question about a hybrid manticore pop up at our session last night. It was made using Hero Labs encounter builder. It's a dire manticore lion hybrid? According to the Paizo online entry, a union between a manticore and a dire lion gives an advanced manticore. Hero Labs...

A guy at our local D&D sessions started playing an alchemist. Interesting class, but it seems a bit difficult to get used to. Question, can a level 9 alchemist make potions like a +5 barkskin and +5 shield of faith? Thanks!

Hey gang. I'm using Hero lab and I've got a question about the archetype, phalanx fighter. I guess I'm missing something but what's the point in being able to use a 2 handed weapon one handed, if you don't get the benefits of the two handed weapon? Hero Lab reduces the damage to a 1 handed...

We have a gunslinger in our Pathfinder campaign. The question came up about whether or not he was allowed (or if it would be worth it) to take the Deadly Aim feat, because of the last line: "The bonus damage does not apply to touch attacks or effects that do not deal hit point damage." So can...

Okay, so my 1st level fighter is standing beside a wooden door in a dungeon, that my Halfling Paladin team mate has already kicked a hole in. He gets his leg back, after it was momentarily stuck and he felt something try to grab it. Then what looks like a pincer comes through and tries to hit...

I've got a question about the Paladin's "Stay the hand" ability. It's this part I wanted clarification on: "You can cast this spell when the target is about to make a melee attack against another creature" If I'm reading that correctly, as an immediate reaction, the player would have to use...

Hey. Was just curious about something... We've got a few Druids in our current party. I'm not so sure about them sometimes. Darned tree huggers. :) Anyway, one of them has a great ape for an animal companion. He multiclassed the ape (not his druid mind you) with a level of fighter, now he...

Hi. We had a session last night where some cr13 Ashmede Devils put "forcecage" on some characters. At first, players were trying to smash their way out, using the spell descriptions 30 hardness guide, but then someone said they could just "break" out with sudden force, so we were just wondering...

Okay, looking at Righteous Might - I need some info. I know, this is gonna sound like a really bizarre question, but if you took away the size gain from Righteous Might, what other benefits would go away as well? "Your height immediately doubles, and your weight increases by a factor of eight...

Okay, trip is normally a melee attack and your target has to be adjacent unless you have a reach weapon, correct? So how does this work with the Oracle's "Clobbering Strike"? "Clobbering Strike (Ex): Whenever you score a critical hit against an opponent with a spell that requires an attack...

One of my group is playing an Oracle. He has Crystal Sight: Crystal Sight (Ex): You can see through stone, earth, or sand as easily as if it were transparent crystal. Your gaze can penetrate a number of feet equal to your oracle level, or 1/12th this thickness of metal. You can use this...

Hey gang. Trying to come to terms with "Stone shape" in the middle of combat. According to the spells description, its a touch action. So if a druid were trying to entrap an opponent in a "cone" of stone, when he touched the stone underfoot, wouldn't it have to be in the opponents square, since...

I'm attempting to "guest" DM for a few sessions at our local D&D group. One of our players is using a Halfling/Rogue. On his turn he moved 6 squares. He has no extra feats that give him extra movement. According to the core book rules, Halfings have a base speed of 4 squares. When I asked him...

Can a level 13 (11 cleric/2 rogue) character keep evasion if they use a heavy shield? The character has light armor, which is what evasion under rogue says it needs, but I would have thought that a heavy shield would also disqualify it. Thanks!

Can't seem to find any references to this. Got an oracle playing in our party. He's level 12. He's wearing an agile breastplate that says it has a 25% arcane failure rate. He's also using a light shield with a 5% arcane failure rate. Something in his build gives him Telekinesis, a...

Hey gang. We've only been playing Pathfinder for a while (seems awesome though), and we're a bit confused about how to roll up damage when there is a confirmed critical hit. We're using the core rulebook and it seems to say that you do double damage with a weapon with a 2x multiplier. So using...

Hi. Just recently started playing Pathfinder (coming from 4e), and I had a question about the feat Missile Shield. I think I've got most nuances of it down pat, but what I was wondering was, since when it's used it does not cause a "miss", but rather deflects the "hit", does it therefore negate...

Got a Barbarian in our new campaign doing some amazing damage, IMHO. He's using an encounter power called Whirling Frenzy followed up by a theme power called Vicious Assault. I was looking at these 2 powers and while WF seemed pretty straightforward, I'm not sure VA is being used correctly...

We're at level 5 in our current campaign (seems to be going much faster than our first 4e campaign - maybe we're just more used to it now), and I have a question about my lev5 BattleCleric. I just picked up Divine Castigation for my Daily. What I want to know is if, since I have a reach weapon...
