    Yes, though you have to train it to do so if it doesn't have an intelligence of 3 or more.

    Q258
    Heirloom Weapon+Masterwork Transformation (or the upgrade to a Gunslinger/archetype with the same feature's starting gun from gunsmithing in the case of a firearm)=???

    Does the weapon no longer qualify as a non-masterwork weapon, thus lose its bonus from the trait because it isn't a valid selection, or does it keep it?

    Q259
    Does Heirloom Weapon on a weapon with both martial and exotic proficiency (bastard sword) result in martial proficiency or exotic proficiency (or both if it effects anything)

    Q260:

    How do you go about training an animal?

    Q 261:

    The Monk's unarmed strike:
    is treated as both a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of spells and effects that enhance or improve either manufactured weapons or natural weapons.
    Does this mean it is rules legal to cast Masterwork Transformation on a Monk's Unarmed Strike (as it is a manufactured weapon), and then enchant their unarmed strike (as it is now masterwork)?

    Q 262 clarification requested

    Do you want everything -- adventure paths, stand-alone adventures, campaign setting material, etc? Getting that list is just a simple matter of going to Paizo's site and looking at their product catalog. If you want the list filtered to include or exclude certain things, please clarify.

    A 263

    The Official Pathfinder SRD includes the Core Rulebook, Advanced Player's Guide, Ultimate Magic, Ultimate Combat, Game Mastery Guide, and all three Bestiaries. Everything else Paizo has ever published is not part of their official SRD; however, all the mechanics are released under the OGL, and therefore can be found on 3rd party SRD sites such as d20pfsrd.com.

    Q262 Clarification
    I didn't realize there were that many books! I suppose the ones with classes or archetypes.

    Q264 Is Psionics Unleashed 3rd party then? I noticed on the PFSRD it is included but in all my research I can't find it listed as an official book.

    A265 He makes his normal (full) attack and any potential free attack granted by the spell (e.g. shocking grasp). He takes a -2 penalty on both attacks (or more if he decides to boost his Concentration check) and the order of the attacks is irrelevant (you can cast a spell at the beginning or the end of your full attack).

    So...
    Attack 1: Shocking grasp + longsword = 4d6+ 1d8+str
    Attack 2: longsword = 1d8+str

    All in one turn?

    Yes, just imagine you're dual-wielding a sword and a spell, except that instead of making an extra off-hand attack, you're casting a spell, which you may or not channel through the sword.

    (And you really should be wielding a weapon with a greater crit range like a scimitar or rapier.)

    A 266 It's going to depend on the source of the rerolls. For example, the 6th level ability of the Luck domain says:

    So if you had another source of rerolling, its text would need to very explicitly override the rules of the Luck domain. By default, though, Luck domain rerolls cannot be re-rolled. Check the wording of each individual ability to see what it has to say.

    Q 267a

    The Power of Suggestion trait suggests that a quarterstaff and a glaive are 'of a similar size, shape, and color' and suitable for the base DC of 20. Does this mean that a Copper and a Gold Piece are close enough to use the same DC?

    Q 267b
    The trait allows you to "make observers believe that an object in your possession is actually a different object entirely". Would this require a separate check for every gold piece in a transaction, or can one check be used for 'Bag of gold -> Bag of coppers?'

    A267 Gold and copper are actually quite different in color. Coins were also often different in shape in ages past, rectangles and ovals with various holes were quite common so that might have to be taken into account. I'd say the DC would have to be at least 25, but other than that, yes, you'd be able to convince someone you're carrying around a pouch of gold rather than copper.

    Q268 Does a barbarian who gets fatigued while raging end his rage or can he continue raging and becomes exhausted afterwards?

    Q269 I seem to recall there being a clause that you don't provoke attacks of opportunity when moving through a space occupied by a friendly character but I can't seem to find it now. Is there such a thing or am I remembering it wrong?

    Q270

    I'm working on building sort of a bastardized 3.5/PF character using the Jaunter class from Expedition to the Demonweb and the Dimensional Dervish feat tree from Ultimate Combat. What I am wondering is the Jaunter class' Dimension Door ability...

    Dimension Door (Sp): At 3rd level and higher, you can
    use dimension door as the spell to move up to 30 feet per
    day per jaunter level you possess. You need not move the
    entire distance at once; you can move in increments of 10
    feet any number of times until the total distance has been
    traversed.

    and the Dimensional Dervish feat am I able to dimension door using the dervish feat and gain a full attack after my teleport? And can I do this 12 times per day at 4th lvl if I break the hops into 10'? Does this work essentially the same way as some of the shadow pounce builds I've seen? Also, what use is the Dimensional Savant feat? Can I not get the flanking/SA bonus by just leaping behind my opponent?

    Sounds about right for Dimensional Dervish.

    Dimensional Savant allows you to threaten from all squares you have been in that round, thus allowing you to threaten(and flank) from multiple places at once. Without Dimensional Savant, you only threaten from the location you currently occupy.

    Q271
    Does anybody have a source stating what happens if you grow claws from an ability(such as the Draconic bloodline or Barbarian's Beast Totem rage power) while you already have claws? I need a source for this, not just an answer.

    A271 I don't think there's any wording present in the RAW for such an eventuality but I think it's established that the greater of two similar effects/abilities is used to determine what happens. So if you have claws that deal 1d4 damage and you use the sorcerer's claws ability at 7th level, the damage is increased to 1d6, otherwise there's no effect.

    Hello!

    I'm having trouble with firearms!

    On the firearms rules it says:
    Advanced Firearms: Advanced firearms are chamber-loaded. It is a move action to load a one-handed or two-handed advanced firearm to its full capacity.

    But then, on the Rapid Reload Feat Descrition, it says:
    Benefit: The time required for you to reload your chosen type of weapon is reduced to a free action (for a hand or light crossbow), a move action (for heavy crossbow or onehanded firearm), or a standard action (two-handed firearm). Reloading a crossbow or firearm still provokes attacks of opportunity.

    Emphasis mine.

    So... What action is needed to reload a two-handed firearm WITH Rapid Reload?

    I'm making an NPC gunslinger who is going to use a Rifle and I wanted to know how often is this guy ging to be able to fire.

    If I am reading this correctly (and assume the text on Rapid Reload is for Early Firearms only), with Rapid Reload he will be able to make full attacks with it. So, with BAB 6 and rapid reload he can make +6/+6/+1 attacks. Am I right?

    Thanks!
    Advanced firearms all use 'alchemical loads' (albeit simply metal cases), which improve the reload action type by one step.

    Q 273

    Is there any way for a sorcerer to get the Bloodline Arcana for another bloodline? I'd specifically like the Sage or Empyreal Bloodline Arcana to switch my casting stat, but I don't really like the rest of their powers. The Eldritch Heritage feats were as close as I could get, but those only give bloodline powers. I know about the Cross-Blooded Archetype, but I'm hoping for a way without all the penalties, preferably a feat.

    Q 274:

    Is there a reason why a Luring Cavalier's Order ability would not activate when they issue a Far Challenge? I would think it would act normally, except Far Challenge explicitly calls out the Order ability activating after the Cavalier is hit by a melee attack(but never states it doesn't activate before).

    If a Eidolon uses it's Swallow whole ability to swallow a monster, does it need to use a std action to maintain the grapple on the monster in it's belly, or does it still have the normal amount of actions?

    A275 No, being swallowed whole is a different state. The monster loses the grappled condition, while the swallowed creature is grappled automatically as long it remains swallowed. If the swallowed creature succeeds on a grapple check, it ends up back in the creature's mouth where both parties become grappled again.

    Q276: in the core rule book it dosen't metion anything about size having an effect on grappling, yet several class features and feats mention "count as a creature one size larger for grappling' or 'you can now pin a creature two size categories bigger than you.'. Where are the rules for what sizes you can and cannot grapple at any given height?
