Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 2: Find Harder
Q20: Poisons
It says the DC to craft the poison is equal to the save DC of the poison being crafted.
Does that mean that the highest DC poison, namely Dragon's Bile with a fort save of 26, is the highest the poison DC can go? Or can I craft a higher DC version of a given poison?
Yes, I'm aware that futher applications can raise the DC, but that hinges at least one application succeeding first. A 26 DC fort save isn't much. Moreover, I can nearly craft that poison now, at 3rd level.Last edited by Karoht; 2013-02-11 at 10:37 AM.

Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 2: Find Harder
I see, the Zombie template is speaking of "calculating bonus hit points". But I assume this also means hit point penalties.

Likely, yes. Note that the text you're referring to does say that it uses the Charisma modifier to determine the bonus.John Ling

Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 2: Find Harder
Q26: Can a ghost ever make a Climb check? The template makes it always a class skill for the creature.
Q27: As an augmented humanoid, can a Ghost be affected by a charm person skill? Or is that only to explain how the creatures BAB and saves have been calculated?
Q28: If you advance a creature with the augmented subtype, does it gain advance BAB and saves like a creature of its original type, or does it effectly "multiclass" into racial HD of the new type?
Q29: Can an undead barbarian still rage?Last edited by Yora; 2013-02-13 at 06:00 PM.

Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 2: Find Harder
A 26
After reading the incorporeal subtype and the entry in the universal monster rules, Im going to say the answer is No. In 3.5, ghosts and others were on the ethereal plane, and whatever they did on that plane was "real." So in that system, the ghost could make a Climb check while climbing something on the ethereal. But it looks like PF removed all that - ghosts are incorporeal, but nothing in the rules for incorporeal in PF puts them on the ethereal. They just stay on the material plane. Since they can't interact with the items, they can't grasp them to climb.
A 27
No, the ghost's type is undead so it's not a valid target for charm person.
A 28
This will only matter for racial HD, obviously - class levels work as defined for the class.
For racial HD, I think it's a bit unclear and I think somebody could build a cogent argument to go either direction. My interpretation is that (using the ghost as the example) it would be a d8 HD but would otherwise advance as the original creature's BAB, saves, etc. I'm basing that on this:
Do not recalculate the creature's base attack bonus, saves, or skill points.
edit:
A 29
Yes, but its total number of rounds per day is going to be severely limited since it doesn't have a Con mod.Last edited by Zherog; 2013-02-13 at 06:06 PM.

Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 2: Find Harder
Q29+: I found mentions that pointed out that rage provides a morale bonus and morale effects are always mind-affecting, to which undead are immune. So while they could rage, they wouldn't get any benefit from doing so.

Yep, you're right. I stand corrected. Well, sort of. They can rage, they just don't get the benefits (but suffer the penalties):

Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 2: Find Harder
Q.30 How many bullets/round does Reloading Hands load into my revolver, assuming I'm firing 3 times per round with the gun in question.
Once per round, phantom hands load a single ranged weapon or firearm with conjured ammunition.
SpoilerLoading any firearm provokes attacks of opportunity. Other rules for loading a firearm depend on whether the firearm is an early firearm or an advanced firearm.
...
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. (emphasis mine)My Homebrew and Extended Signature

Ask your DM. Going by the definition of "load," it's ambiguous and can be interpreted either way.

Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 2: Find Harder
Q31
I'm just learning pathfinder and thus I've been cramming tons of material into my brain and have become a bit scattershot.
I seem to remember while reading that there was some sort of ability (can't remember if it's feat, spell, class ability or whatever) that adjust the multiplier on your critical range. I believe it was situational . . . but I can't remember where it was from and I've been reading about so many classes and spells that it could be anywhere.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?Last edited by Lictor of Thrax; 2013-02-15 at 05:32 AM.

Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 2: Find Harder
Critical range was the wrong term.
I just meant, I could have sworn I read some spell/ability/feature that allowed you to move your crit multiplier up by 1 point (from X3 to X4, for instance).
It may have even been some temporary trigger or something.
Either that, or I'm just losing my mind.

Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 2: Find Harder
A: 31
Weapon Mastery, the 20th level capstone ability for the fighter class does exactly what you're asking.
SpoilerAt 20th level, a fighter chooses one weapon, such as the longsword, greataxe, or longbow. Any attacks made with that weapon automatically confirm all critical threats and have their damage multiplier increased by 1 (×2 becomes ×3, for example). In addition, he cannot be disarmed while wielding a weapon of this type.
Q: 32 a
If I have sneak attack (2d6, if it matters) and I cast Acid Arrow (caster level 3, deals 2d4 damage on hit and one round later), how much damage does sneak attack add?
As best I can figure, it'd be 2d4+2d6 on hit, and 2d4 one round later. All damage is acidic. Is this correct?
Q: 32 b
If I crit (x2) with an Acid Arrow (CL 3) attack, how much damage does it deal?
I'm guessing it'd be 4d4 on hit, and 2d4 one round later... but I could be wrong and it'd be 4d4 on the second round, too.
Q: 32 c
If I'm really lucky, and hidden really well, and I sneak attack with a critical strike with an Acid Arrow, how screwed is my opponent?My Homebrew and Extended Signature

Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 2: Find Harder
A32a:
Yes, 2d4+2d6 on hit, 2d4 the round after. All d4's are acid damage, the 2d6, however, is precision damage.
A32b:
4d4 on hit, 2d4 on subsequent rounds. Good rule of thumb: If it doesn't require an attack roll, it can't do critical damage.
A32c:
Slightly. Critical hit on a sneak attack with acid arrow does 4d4+2d6 on hit, and 2d4 the round after.
