Re: Simple Q&A Pathfinder (By RAW) I
Q439 When taking the "Rapid Reload" feat for firearms, does one take it for one-handed/two-handed firearms or is it more specific?

Q 440
If a creature has multiple attacks in a Full Round Attack that trigger the "Grab" ability and it succeeds its Combat Maneuver to Grab on its first attack, is it deprived of its remaining attacks for that round, or may it continue its Full Round Attack?

Q441
Can you use Skill Mastery with skills you can't ordinarily take 10 on, like UMD?

This is an old debate, that goes back to 3.5 rules actually. The answer depends entirely on what you believe takes precedent in the rules.
Originally Posted by PF SRD, Rogue Class, Skill MasteryOriginally Posted by PF SRD, Skill Descriptions, Use Magic Device
A) If you believe UMD's "special" clause overrides skill mastery, then the answer to your question is No.
B) If you believe skill mastery's "even when you normally can't" clause overrides the UMD "special" clause, then the answer is Yes.
I personally rule the answer is Yes, because I view skill mastery as the more-specific rule and specific trumps general. Also, from a balance perspective I have no problems with a 10th level (or higher) character taking 10 on UMD. Such a character is likely to make the majority of his/her checks anyway, so allowing them to take 10 saves time at the table. If the player is willing to invest in a resource, I'm usually willing to allow it to work. And this is such a case.
That said, I do recognize the argument from the other side - that UMD doesn't allow take 10 at all, and skill mastery only overrides the "stress and distractions" reason.
For whatever it's worth, as I recall in 3.5 WotC ruled that you could not (though never published that anywhere other than the FAQ).
So, in short: there is no RAW answer, and a reasonable interpretation can be made either way; go with what is best for your table.John Ling

It can continue its full-round attack, albeit at a -2 penalty for having the grappled condition.

Re: Simple Q&A Pathfinder (By RAW) I
Q442
I want to ride a gravity elemental obtained by improved familiar. Would permanent reduce person be sufficient to accomplish this?
Q443
In this situation, is the only ride check I'm likely to need a DC 10 to fight while mounted?
Q444
Assuming I find some sort of mount, can the mount use a move action, then delay using its other move action until after I cast a spell as a full round action? This is just an ad hoc flyby attack.

Re: Simple Q&A Pathfinder (By RAW) I
A442
It depends on your weight. There are no restrictions on riding a creature (eg. a colossal creature could ride a fine creature) save that the rider must be less than the mount's maximum load (or double that if the mount staggers). A small gravity elemental's maximum load is 97.5 lbs. If permanent reduce person puts your weight below that, then yes. Otherwise no.
A443
It depends on what you want to do. If all you do is sit on the elemental while it flies around (a ride), you don't need to make any check.

Re: Simple Q&A Pathfinder (By RAW) I
A 444 continued I'm not quite sure why you'd have to do it that way, there's already a section in Mounted Combat that does that, Casting Spells while Mounted. If you want your mount to move before and after, you have to make a concentration check of 10+spell level if your mount double moves, 15+spell level if it runs and you cast at the point it's moved double its speed.
In any case, you can't Delay midaction, you have to choose to Delay at the beginning of your turn.

Re: Simple Q&A Pathfinder (By RAW) I
A 446 Only if your current amount of uses is in excess of your new maximum number.
A 447 Haste targets creatures, a carpet of flying isn't a creature, so no.
A 448 Crossblooded doesn't change or remove anything that False Priest does, so you can be a Crossblooded False Priest.Last edited by Cieyrin; 2013-01-27 at 06:40 PM.

Re: Simple Q&A Pathfinder (By RAW) I
R448-False Priest
Crossblooded will get you some cool archetype stuff, but most of that won't really apply to False Priest. Due to the way False Channel works (swapping one of your spell slots instead of the item, at 1 spell level higher than normal) it means you really don't want to impact your spell level progression, which Crossblooded will do. Can I ask what two bloodlines you will be taking to go with it?~~Courage is not the lack of fear~~

Yes, ray spells can score a critical hit.

Yes, the +4 bonus gives you two temporary extra bombs. If the bonus goes away before you use all your bombs per day, you lose that benefit.
Eg. You have 12 Int, so you can use 1 bomb. You drink a cognatogen for +4 Int, and now you can use 3 bombs. You use 1 bomb. The benefits of the cognatogen go away. Now you can use 0 more bombs, because your max is currently 1 bomb/day and you have already used one.

Anytime the weapon strikes a creature and the creature takes damage from it, the weapon can immediately cast the spell on that creature as a free action if the wielder desires.
... As for rays and touch attacks? No idea.
P.S.
SpoilerAny self-respecting spell storing weapon user will use it as a healing shiv at least once. I hope you will uphold this noble tradition.

Re: Simple Q&A Pathfinder (By RAW) I
A451 Basically what player A says, but there are several key points you might have missed.
the weapon can immediately cast the spell on that creature as a free action
Also following the logic that casting a swift action spell does not provoke, neither do free action spells, since the time consumed by those types of action is specifically stated somewhere to be kind of equal.
A spell storing weapon allows a spellcaster to store a single targeted spell of up to 3rd level in the weapon.
If (and that is at least a medium sized "if") this is consistent throughout Pathfinder, step 2c) of player A never comes into play
All emphasis in the quotes mine
Edit: half-ninja'd. But the thing about non-touch spells that require an attack is still valid as far as I can see right nowLast edited by MrLemon; 2013-01-31 at 05:22 PM.

Re: Simple Q&A Pathfinder (By RAW) I
Q451, clarification
So, just to be completely clear- if I store Shocking Grasp, Vampiric Touch, CLW, or another touch spell in my weapon, those spells do not require their own attack roll, but hit automatically, and threaten to crit on a 20?

On the line listing a monster's atttacks, how many do they get per round: all, if each attack is seperated only by a comma? One of those? Based on BAB?

Re: Simple Q&A Pathfinder (By RAW) I
Q453
Many spells in Pathfinder give characters a Reflex save to avoid their effect, for example Create Pit and Wall of Stone. In both cases, the spell creates a physical terrain feature, which an opponent can easily be caught in the middle of. For example, suppose someone is caught in the following position by Wall of Stone:
WWWWW
W W
W PC W
W W
WWWWW
Where PC is the player character, W is the wall. The character gets a save to avoid being trapped by the wall, but what happens if the save succeeds? Do they remain in that space, but somehow not trapped (able to walk through the walls or the like)? Or do they get a free move action to leave the area? If so, where do they end up, and does it use the move action on their next turn? Can anyone point me to the part of the rules that discusses this?Lord Raziere herd I like Blasphemy, so Urpriest Exalted as a Malefactor

Q454
Is there an attack roll penalty for fighting solely with your off-hand? I don't mean two-weapon fighting, but simply fighting with your off-hand because your on-hand is indisposed (tied behind your back, broken, cut off. Those kinds of things).

Re: Simple Q&A Pathfinder (By RAW) I
A 453 Strictly speaking, you can't create a wall of stone where a creature is, you can trap them with one, for which they have a save to not be trapped. What a successful save does is kinda unclear but I assume would generally get them out of the area at no action cost to them. It's kinda DM fiat at that point, though.
A 454 There isn't such a thing as off-handedness in PF or in 3.X since 3.0 had Ambidexterity. So no, there is no penalty for attacking or doing anything with your off-hand, other than perhaps RP ones.

Darkfire Adept gets:
Sacred Summons
A Darkfire Adept gains Sacred Summons as a bonus feat at 1st level, as if she had an evil aura (regardless of her actual alignment).
Prerequisites: Aura class feature, ability to cast summon monster.
Benefit: When using summon monster to summon creatures whose alignment subtype or subtypes exactly match your aura, you may cast the spell as a standard action instead of with a casting time of 1 round.Lord Raziere herd I like Blasphemy, so Urpriest Exalted as a Malefactor
