I've got something like that, although it may be a tad more complex than you were looking for. It also revises many other aspects of weapons.

Otherwise, perhaps this will work?

Weapon Focus
Benefits: When you take this feat, choose one of the following weapon groups: light blades; heavy blades; flails and chains; spears, staves, and polearms; bows and crossbows; hammers and maces; axes and picks; or slings and polearms. You gain a +1 to attack rolls with all weapons in that group.

Spoiler: Group Lists

Show

Light Blades: dagger, punching dagger, sickle, kukri, shortsword, rapier, kama, sai.
Heavy Blades: longsword, scimitar, greatsword, scythe, falchion, bastard sword, two-bladed sword.
Flails and Chains: flail, heavy flail, dire flail, spiked chain, whips.
Spears, Staves, and Polearms: shortspear, spear, longspear, trident, quarterstaff, glaive, guisarme, halberd, lance, ranseur, dwarven urgrosh.
Bows and Crossbows: shortbows, longbows, composite shortbows, composite longbows, light crossbow, heavy crossbow, hand crossbow, repetaing heavy crossbow, repeating light crossbow.
Hammers and Maces: light mace, club, heavy mace, morningstar, light hammer, greatclub, warhammer, gnome hooked hammer.
Axes and Picks: throwing axe, handaxe, light pick, battleaxe, heavy pick, greataxe, dwarven waraxe, orc double axe, dwarven urgrosh.
Slings and Thrown Weapons: slings, dagger, club, shortspear, dart, javelin, spear, throwing axe, light hammer, trident, sai, bolas, net, shuriken.

In addition, you gain a special benefit when wielding a weapon of the type you chose. The benefit only applies to that weapon, not any others you might also be holding.

• Light Blades: You may add your Dexterity modifier to damage.
• Heavy Blades: You can use the handguard (or handle in the case of the scythe) to guard against attacks, gaining a +1 bonus to shield AC. This ability stacks with other shield bonuses, including Two Weapon Defense and actual shields.
• Flails and Chains: By wrapping the chain around an opponent's throat, you may use this weapon in a grapple with no penalty.
• Spears, Staves, and Polearms: If the weapon has reach, you may switch your grip on it as a swift action to lose reach, but gain the ability to attack adjacent foes. If it does not have reach, you may switch your grip as a swift action to gain it, but lose the ability to attack adjacent foes with it as usual.
• Bows and crossbows: You no longer provoke attacks of opportunity for firing your weapon.
• Hammers and Maces: On a successful critical hit, the enemy must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + your Strength mod) or be knocked prone. Bonuses against being tripped can be applied to this save.
• Axes and Picks: On a successful critical hit, the enemy continues taking damage each round equal to your Strength modifier. This damage can be stopped with a DC 15 Heal check or a single point of magical healing.
• Slings and Thrown Weapons: You can reload/draw these weapons as a free action, if you could not already. In addition, increase the range increment of each weapon by +20 feet.

Special: You may take this feat multiple times. Each time you do, it applies to a different weapon group.

Fighters may take this feat as a fighter bonus feat.

The link is pretty darn cool, but I have too many new players to change it that much. I might implement it in a game with all veterens.

The other is pretty much exactly what I was looking for! Thanks.

I need stats for a Flintlock Pistol, something that is an small upgrade from a Light Crossbow in terms of damage and critical, but not necessarially in terms of range, but still useable from far enough that you don't have to endanger yourself, it doesn't have to be particularly realistic, because hey, fantasy setting.

R. 1099

I would like a prestige class that advances Animal Companion and Rage with Mounted Fury* as a prerequisite/basis. Turns out there are no classes that advance rage and animal companion at all from official sources, and as far as I could see no homebrew for it either. Which is disappointing since it seems like a cool concept. Who doesn't want to be an angry man riding an angrier tyrannosaur into battle?


*web feat, applies the benefits of rage to your mount

I would like a base/prestige class that can make a character with exceptionally poor rolls fun to play. (Something with an equivalent point buy of -12 or worse)

Flintlock Pistol - Exotic Ranged Weapon

50 GP - S/1d8 M/1d10 - x3 Critical - 50 feet - 2 lbs - Bludgeoning and Piercing

A can reload a flintlock pistol by hand. Doing so is a standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity.

You can wield and fire a flintlock pistol with one hand at no penalty. You can fire off a flintlock pistol with both hands, but you take a penalty on the attack rolls as if you were attacking with two light weapons.

A common practice of Flintlock Pistol users, to keep up their attacks without stopping to reload, is to have many flintlock pistols on their person, and simply draw them when the time comes to attack again.

H 1099: Raging Hunter

Prerequisites:

• Ride 7 ranks
• Rage 1/day
• Animal Companion or Special Mount
• Mounted Fury feat

HD: d12
BAB: +1/1 (as fighter)
Fort: Good
Ref: Good
Will: Poor

Level	Special
1	Companion in the fray, rage +1 use/day
2	Twin spirit
3	Hunter's eyes
4	Dauntless, rage +1 use/day
5	Primal connection
6	Ferocious speed

Companion in the fray: Raging hunter levels stack with levels of other classes for the purposes of determining the benefits that the animal companion and special mount class features provide. If the raging hunter has more than one such feature, they must choose one.

In addition, the raging hunter's animal companion is always treated as a "war-trained mount". If you play this way normally, you get no benefit.

Rage: At levels 1 and 4, a raging hunter gains an additional daily use of their rage ability.

Twin Spirit (Ex): When the 2nd level raging hunter is raging while mounted on his animal companion or special mount, both can ignore any effect that would not work on either. The raging hunter can choose for certain effects to ignore this restriction.

Spoiler: Example

Show

Rakor is a Barbarian 3 / Druid 1 / Raging Hunter 2. While mounted on his animal companion and raging, he ignores the effects of charm person and dominate person because they do not affect animals. His animal companion also ignores charm animal and dominate animal. If Rakor chooses, he can elect for his animal companion to receive animal growth.

Hunter's Eyes (Su): At level 3, when a raging hunter is within 5 feet of his animal companion or special mount, he can determine the alignment of a creature if he and his companion or mount study them for 1 minute. This functions as an appropriate version of a detect spell, but the raging hunter is not stunned by overwhelming auras and he gains no other benefits of the spell such as detecting strong auras outside of his line of sight.

Dauntless (Ex): When a level 4 raging hunter is mounted is raging while mounted on his animal companion or special mount, he gains Damage Reduction X/- where X = half his hit dice.

Primal Connection (Ex): A level 5, when a raging hunter is within 5 feet of his animal companion or special mount, both gain blindsense out to 60 feet and can pinpoint the location of creatures on the ethereal plane within the same range. This does not give either one the ability to actually attack ethereal creatures, but it's a start.

Ferocious Speed (Su): A level 6 raging hunter is an unstoppable force in battle. While raging and mounted on his animal companion or special mount, he grants his animal companion and himself the benefits of freedom of movement.

C1100

I would suggest Diamond Mind (skilled strikes), Shadow Hand (the ninja style), and maybe one of Setting Sun (monkish style, soft style), Stone Dragon (the generic style that is the most common), or Tiger Claw (encourages a lot of attacks and mobility making it good for a Sneak Attacker).

Glad I could help. I'm bad at skill lists, so remember to make one before you use the class. A mix of barbarian and druid skills is probably best.

Requesting an arcane illusionist prestige class for a high power Pathfinder game that grants illusions the ability to fight in combat, read as being capable of dealing damage and the like, something like the Mesmer from GW/GW2 mayhaps? Empowering illusions via shadowstuffs would be appropriate but is not strictly necessary.

Need a bardic music alternative for a tactician Character maybe similar to white raven tactics or the marshal class to replace the entire bardic music ability chain. Any help granted would be great.

[flameboy99]

R 1103

I need a clockwork or otherwise mechanical (Coal, steam, and rudimentary magic engines are all available in the setting, in addition to clockwork) creature, CR 5-6. Unintelligent, possibly mindless. Preferably some unique ability or trait about it that might make it an interesting challenge for a fairly magic light, melee heavy party. Should be reasonable to find on its own (Unlike, say, a Shield Golem, which only really makes sense with a caster or other controller nearby).

[JonathonWilder]

R 1104
A cleric archetype that has the squashy, noncombat role of a wizard yet makes up for it with perhaps access to more domains and a means of healing the party from range. As in d6 hps, no armour and shields to only light armour, low BAB cleric that relies on their deity for protection (perhaps a sacred bonus to AC or saves equal to Wis modifier). More importantly an archetype where the cleric isn't made weaker by not having the exchanges give up more then they give back (none of the current Paizo archetypes offer this). I would also like to keep Channel Energy with at most exchanging enough so that it is at every three levels not every two levels.

I am open for suggestions, the main thing I am looking for is an attractive replacement for the combat cleric with a cleric more likened to a wizard in that they focus all their time on the spellcasting aspect of their role.

Edit: Seems I was Ninja'd for the place of R1103

R1107 Id like a 10 level PrC that requires Divine Casting, 3rd level spells, and maybe a RP requirement, but something that is rather easy to get at 5th level as a cleric. and over the 10 levels nets you the half celestial template, sort of like the dragon disciple. I want there to be no spell casting progression at 1st 5th and 9th level.

9th	+6	+6	+3	+6	Resistances (9 HD), Wings	-
10th	+7	+7	+3	+7	Celestial Apotheosis	+1 level of existing divine spellcasting class

Prerequisites:
Spellcasting: Must be capable of casting third-level divine spells.
Class features: Must be able to cast Cure Critical Wounds spontaneously.
Special: Cannot already be a half-celestial before taking the tenth level of celestial disciple.
Skills: Knowledge (Religion) 8 ranks, Knowledge (The Planes) 8 ranks.
Alignment: Any good
Hit Die: 1d12

Class Skills:
The celestial disciple’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Escape Artist (Dex), Gather Information (Cha), Knowledge (all skills, taken individually) (Int), Listen (Wis), Profession (Wis), Search (Int), Speak Language (None), Spellcraft (Int), and Spot (Wis).
Skill Points at Each Level: 2 + Int modifier

Weapon and armour proficiency
The celestial disciple gains no proficiency in any type of weapon or armour.

Resistances
The celestial disciple gains resistances as though she were a 3 HD creature with the celestial template. At 5th and ninth level, her effective hit dice for this effect increase by 3 each time, also granting her damage reduction.

Ability Increase (Ex)
As a celestial disciple gains levels in this prestige class, her ability scores increase as noted on Table: The Celestial Disciple.

These increases stack and are gained as if through level advancement.

Smite Evil (Su)
From third level, the celestial disciple can smite evil just as a celestial creature does. She can do so twice per day at seventh level.

Wings (Ex)
At 9th level, a celestial disciple grows a set of angelic wings. She may now fly at a speed equal to her normal land speed, with average maneuverability.

Celestial Apotheosis
At 10th level, a celestial disciple takes on the half-celestial template. Her damage reduction reaches full strength, and she gains +4 to Strength, +2 to Dexterity, +4 to Constitution and +2 to Charisma. She acquires all of the other abilities associated with a half-celestial at this time.

R1109
A bard archetype that follows after the Lorekeeper kit of AD&D, casting from the wizard spell list up to level seven or just being able to access the wizard/sorcerer list, casting as a wizard as well (intellegence and spellbook). Perhaps losing the bardic performance ability and any of its performance types for this. Also adding other abilities that focus on being an scholar and user of the arcane arts.

Before speaking against this let me mention the fact the other archetypes change the spell list, sometimes completely.

AD&D source for this kit is the book The Complete Bard: http://www.angelfire.com/games2/laby...oremaster.html

Having it be a wizard might be easier, but I would prefer Bard if possible... why? Because the Bard is the more skillful and versatile of the two classes when it comes to things other than spells. More being a well traveled lorekeeper who passes on the stories they have learned is built into the class. I mostly just wish to increase this and have them cast magic as a wizard does.

So, I recently ran across Jormengand's Warp Mage (here), which is really awesome, but it lacks some of Warhammer's classic caster items like the Ruby Ring of Rhuin, Wizard's Hat, Earthen Rod, Book of Hoeth ect. Also the Dispel Scroll is only usable by humans.

I'm not sure if this is in the scope of the thread, but I would like to request a combat-oriented PrC. Specifically, for an alchemically-augmented warrior, a little inspired by the Witchers. One idea I had is that they could have essence/organs grafted on from monsters in order to gain their powers.
