Re: Simple Q&A Pathfinder (By RAW) I
I don't see bows mentioned specifically, but according to the srd, if you have a buckler in your offhand while wielding an offhand weapon *or* if you use that off-hand to wield a two handed weapon, then you take a -1 to attacks and lose the AC bonus when attacking.

It's also in the (unofficial) FAQ

Core rulebook page 150 under the Buckler entry. I own the Fourth printing of the book printed in September 2010.

I have a fourth printing as well. I see noting related to bows in particular under the buckler entry.

It says, and I quote:
This small metal shield is worn strapped to your forearm. You can use a boe or crossbow without penalty while carrying it.

Not showing up in my copy. I'd stick to the srd in that case.

My guess is that you would not get the AC bonus from the buckler when using a bow or crossbow, but you also would not get the normal -1 penalty to attacks either.

Q56: How much higher than your opponent do you need to be to get the higher ground bonus to attack rolls?

Re: Simple Q&A Pathfinder (By RAW) I
A?56
Well, I wasn't able to find anything specific about it. However, seeing as it only affects melee attacks and not ranged ones, I'd say that a foot should be enough.
Let's kill the catgirl a bit, but a 1 foot advantage is already enough that, supposing that both attacker and defender have about the same heigh, attacker can now easily strike defender's head and it'll be considerably harder for defender to defend himself.
Going higher shouldn't change much, but if you go high enough (defender's height), defender ends up flatfooted since he can no longer see you.

Re: Simple Q&A Pathfinder (By RAW) I
A55 IMO the wording in the buckler entry is pretty clear. You will not receive a penalty to your attack rolls while using a bow or a crossbow when wearing a buckler. However, the general rule that you will not gain the benefits of the buckler while attacking with you off-hand or a two-handed weapon still applies.
So, no penalties and no benefits
A56 There is nothing that specifies how much higher, in feet and inches, you need to be to to gain a height advantage over an enemy, so basically it is the DM's call to decide whether your relative position to your target should net you an advantage.Last edited by Lord Bingo; 2011-10-13 at 06:18 PM.

A57: When you google it, almost all results are forum threads about 4E. Possible that someone converted that ability to PF, but it does not seem to be from a Paizo source.

Re: Simple Q&A Pathfinder (By RAW) I
Q058: The druid get an spell at Lvl-4, Ice Storm, which is a cilinder, with a range... well, 400+40*Druid Level, 20 Ft radius and 40 Ft. Height.
Altough it deals its 5d6 damage once, it looks to me an exageration, for a divine spell, so much damage and an outrageous long cilinder, then I think:
It's a cilinder, and the 20ft radius base must in the floor, or it's a proyection, and the base can be vertical, and proyect the cilinder, like the Parasite Eve game?Last edited by Souhiro; 2011-10-17 at 02:35 AM.

Re: Simple Q&A Pathfinder (By RAW) I
A58: The ice hits everything in a 20 ft. radius circle around the point you targeted and also hits everything that is 40 ft or less in the air above the circle on the ground.
The point you target where the 20 ft radius circle appears can be 400+40/level feet away from where you are standing.Last edited by Yora; 2011-10-17 at 05:38 AM.

Re: Simple Q&A Pathfinder (By RAW) I
Q59: Question concerning wild shape and the beast shape spells:
The entries for the different beast shape spells say something about all kinds of speed, but do not mention the basic land speed, and i also did not find any reference to that in any polymorph entry. Do the beast shape spells give you the basic land speed of the animal you turn into, or is it also limited to 30/60/90/120 like the progression of the spells, or do you even keep your own basic land speed?
i probably missed the rule entry where that is cleared up, can anyone point me to it?Last edited by Haron; 2011-10-18 at 09:07 AM.

Q60: Do feats that give attacks stack? Say, as an example, the cleave feat that gives an extra attack to adjacent enemy if it hits and another feat that allows an extra attack against adjacent if the enemy targeted dies. Do both feats activate if the attacked enemy dies?

An answer can't be provided, as it would depend entirely on the wording of both feats. If you have a specific combo in mind, please repost with that, rather than one "real" feat and one hypothetical feat.John Ling

Q 61
Can an oracle with the Deaf Curse take the trait Magical Lineage, choosing a level one spell with a verbal component (for this example, the spell Command,) and cast the level 1 spell as if they were modified by the Silent Spell feat in order to turn it into a level 0 spell? (And thus consume no spell slots?)

Q 62
Is a monk's increased damage on their unarmed strikes considered an effect that augments unarmed strikes for the Feral Combat Training feat? Specifically, could a Monk/Druid take Feral Combat Training (bite) and use its normal unarmed strike damage on its bite attacks when wild shaped into a wolf?

Q 63
Surprise round?
So a NPC caster (with his two bodyguards) was talking with group of adventurers -- they are standing 20-30' feet apart (the PCs are spread out in camp, the caster is 20' from the closest one). The NPC gleams some information he needs from party, then decides that it is time for them to die, so casts a fireball. Does this constitute a surprise round and the NPC is assumed to get his cast off before the party can react, or should initiative be rolled right away?
Thanks for the help!Last edited by evillemming; 2011-10-21 at 09:08 AM.

Re: Simple Q&A Pathfinder (By RAW) I
A63: Hard to answer this by RAW, it depends mostly on how the GM decides to have the NPCs act before combat breaks out. If they are keeping an eye on the character to see if he does anything funny, it would be regular Initiative rolls for everyone. If they are not suspecting anything and the characters casting is what triggers them to start feeling threatened, than I think the character should get a suprise round, as the character who wins Initiative does so as a reaction to the PCs casting.
A Bluff check by the attacker might be a good solution to solve this. If his Bluff check is higher than the characters Sense Motive checks, he catches them completely by surprise and gets the suprise round. If he fails than some of the PCs see that he is about to cast a spell.Last edited by Yora; 2011-10-21 at 09:27 AM.

No. A monk's damage is a characteristic of the unarmed strike class feature (and not a separate effect). The damage for the natural weapon is unchanged.Avatar by Qwernt

Bastard sword is an exotic weapon.
A bastard sword is about 4 feet in length, making it too large to use in one hand without special training; thus, it is an exotic weapon. A character can use a bastard sword two-handed as a martial weapon.Avatar by Qwernt

Re: Simple Q&A Pathfinder (By RAW) I
A65 The wording of the enhancement specifically says that it replaces the strength bonus to attacks with a characters wisdom bonus, thus indicating that it is a property for melee weapons only.
That said I see no reason why such a property could not also exist for ranged weapons, so I would recommend you take that to your GM.
