Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 3: Find With a Vengeance
@175 Don't bother. If anything, you can try to ask JJ for his opinion, but other than that, it's unlikely we'll get any official word on these issues, even if enough people FAQ it.
A177+ You don't actually need the feat, and even if you did, you could replace it with a +5 to DC since it's not a crafting feat.
It also doesn't matter if they're use activated items, since it's not the rod that provides the spell, it just modifies it.
And no, if metamagic rods were allowed, it would increase the spell level. Like I said before, metamagic rods don't change how metamagic effects work. The spell's level is still modified regardless of whether the change is powered by your spell slots or a metamagic rod (or any other effect). Metamagic rods only allow you to skip the slot level increase, but the slot you use has little to do with the spell's actual (or modified) level.
A178+ Yeah, looks like someone forgot to figure in the base natural armor of the boar and just added the lycanthrope bonus. The rest seems fine though.

Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 3: Find With a Vengeance
Q/A178+
If you look at the werebear (str of grizzly), weretiger (str of tiger), and wererat (dex of dire rat), you can see that the animal stats don't get a +2 on top of that. So hybrid form strength and con should only be 17+4=21 with rage.
But then you look at werewolf and wereboar, and it does the opposite. So I can't extrapolate which is wrong, just that some are.

No.
3.5; Energy Drain And Negative Levels
A character with negative levels at least equal to her current level, or drained below 1st level, is instantly slain. Depending on the creature that killed her, she may rise the next night as a monster of that kind. If not, she rises as a wight.
If a creature's negative levels equal or exceed its total Hit Dice, it dies.Proudly addicted to pointing out where exactly rules can be found.

Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 3: Find With a Vengeance
My apologies if these questions have been asked already. I tried searching the thread for them, but I did not have much luck with the search thread feature...
Q182: Can a character wielding a weapon in each hand alternate between them when making attacks without taking Two-Weapon Fighting penalties?
Example: Character has BAB of +6/+1 and is holding a Longsword in one hand and a Club in the other. When taking the Full Attack Action, he wants to make his first attack at +6 BAB using the Longsword and then make his second attack at BAB +1 using the Club.
Q183: How does handedness come into play in the above scenario? Are both attacks made with the full STR bonus to damage since the character is not using the Two-Weapon Fighting options to get additional attacks? Or, would one of the attacks be considered "Off-Hand" and only deal 1/2 STR damage?
Q184: Would the above scenario work the same way if a character wanted to alternate attacking with a Longsword and a shield bash attack (instead of Longsword and Club)?
Q185: Since shields can be used as weapons, do you have a threatened area and are you able to make attacks of opportunity when only wielding a shield? Do you need to have the Improved Shield Bash feat or be wielding a spiked shield to threaten an area and make attacks of opportunity?
Q186: If you can make a shield bash as an attack of opportunity, does a character wielding a Longsword and a shield get his choice of either a Longsword attack or a shield bash attack when an enemy provokes an attack of opportunity from him?
Q187: The Fighter Archetype Phalanx Soldier grants the ability to use a polearm or spear in one hand. If a Phalanx Soldier with this ability chooses to wield a polearm with reach in one hand and wield a shield in the other, how does this affect his threatened area and ability to make attacks of opportunity? I know he threatens the squares 10 ft away from him as normal for a reach weapon and can make attacks of opportunity with the polearm against enemies who provoke them in that area. Since he also has the option to make shield bash attacks, does he also threaten his adjacent squares and is he able to make attacks of opportunity with his shield against adjacent enemies who provoke? Would there be any attack or damage penalties associated with this?
Q188: If a character is wielding a 2-handed reach weapon and has the Improved Unarmed Strike feat, how does this affect his threatened area bility to make attacks of opportunity? Does he threaten all the squares that are 10 feet away with the reach weapon and all adjacent squares with his unarmed strike? I know he threatens the squares 10 ft away from him as normal for a reach weapon and can make attacks of opportunity with the polearm against enemies who provoke them in that area. Does his Improved Unarmed Strike feat allow him to also threaten his adjacent squares and make attacks of opportunity with his Unarmed Strike against adjacent enemies who provoke? Would there be any attack or damage penalties associated with this?
Thank you!

Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 3: Find With a Vengeance
A182
Yes
The two-weapon fighting penalties only apply once you start making extra attacks. You can carry two weapons in both hands no problem. Which in turns means you can use both weapons in irritative attacks without TWF penalties.
A183
The offhand-penalties are tied to two-weapon fighting rules, so they don't apply in this case.
A184
Yes.
A185
It seems so.
Basic AoO rules
"You Threaten all squares into which you can make a melee attack, even when it is not your turn."
A186
Yes
A187
Yes, and no penalties apply beyond losing the shields AC.
A188
Yes, you can and without penalty. This is a famous technique often done with a gauntlets rather then unarmed strikes.Proudly addicted to pointing out where exactly rules can be found.

Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 3: Find With a Vengeance
A189
Not many...
Distance: ranged weapon enhancement, doubles range
Longshot : spell, +10 ft per range increment (which easily is 20, 50 or 100ft extra)
These two stack, untyped and different source.
Honorable mentions:
Hurler: Barbarian archetype, +10 feet range per range increment for throwing weapons
Musket Master: Gunslinger archetype, 10 feet range per range increment for firearms
These two don't stack, different weapon types, but do stack with the earlier mentioned ones.
And I couldn't find more that increase range. (There is a Half-Elf Favored Class option for Alchemist for Splash Weapons, but that takes 5 levels to do anything.)
A190
I am afraid that's limited to the book itself: Pathfinder Adventure Path #30: The Twice-Damned Prince (Council of Thieves 6 of 6), page 68-69. I can't find an online source.
As for the price, that seems right. As far as I know you cannot use focus as material component in the same spell, but in this case the text specially states that all gold "piles" are different.Proudly addicted to pointing out where exactly rules can be found.

There is also the Zen Archer archetype for the Monk, which can up its range increments by 50' for a ki point. Though you do need to be a monk, which might be a downside.Avatar by the incomparable araveugnitsuga!

Q192
A question on DR; say I have a +5 bonus bludgeoning weapon. As I understand it, as a +5 it bypasses magic, cold iron, silver, mithral, admanatine, and alignment DR.
What DR (if any) would a +5 Bludgeon weapon NOT ignore? (or said another way, what DR would still reduce my attack?) Piercing and slashing DR?

Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 3: Find With a Vengeance
A194
A few very powerful monsters are vulnerable only to epic weapons—that is, magic weapons with at least a +6 enhancement bonus. Such creatures’ natural weapons are also treated as epic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
When a damage reduction entry has a dash (—) after the slash, no weapon negates the damage reduction.
...
If a dash follows the slash, then the damage reduction is effective against any attack that does not ignore damage reduction.
For sources for the above rules, see here and here.

Yes. Although not stated directly, it seems possible from the basic rule.
Holding the Charge: If you don't discharge the spell in the round when you cast the spell, you can hold the charge indefinitely. You can continue to make touch attacks round after round. If you touch anything or anyone while holding a charge, even unintentionally, the spell discharges.Proudly addicted to pointing out where exactly rules can be found.

Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 3: Find With a Vengeance
Q196a:So I'm playing a ratfolk Alchemist with the Plague bringer archetype. Is there a way to apply my Plague vial disease to my bombs? It looks like by default I can't, as plague vial takes a standard action to infect a weapon, and bombs take a standard action to create and throw, and can't be stored.
Q196b: If I apply my Plague vial disease to a thrown splash weapon, does every creature hit by the splash damage risk being affected by the disease, or just the main target?

Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 3: Find With a Vengeance
A196a
You could with the Delayed Bomb Discovery.
A196b
Just the main target.
From the Plague Vial description
As a standard action, the plague bringer can infect a weapon with this sickness (typically by licking it or wiping his blood or pus on it). The disease on the weapon works like a poisoned weapon, except the source is a disease instead of a poison (so a dwarf's resistance to poison does not apply).
One dose of poison smeared on a weapon or some other object affects just a single target. A poisoned weapon or object retains its poison until the weapon scores a hit or the object is touched (unless the poison is wiped off before a target comes in contact with it).Last edited by Yanisa; 2014-07-22 at 06:54 AM.

Yes, but it requires a DC 15 fly check.
From the 5-Foot Step
You can move 5 feet in any round when you don't perform any other kind of movement.
Without making a check, a flying creature can remain flying at the end of its turn so long as it moves a distance greater than half its speed.

Hover 15
Action: None. A Fly check doesn’t require an action; it is made as part of another action or as a reaction to a situation.Proudly addicted to pointing out where exactly rules can be found.

Q 197b You don't think 5 feet of movement would fall under "Move less than half speed and remain flying, DC 10" rather than hover?

Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 3: Find With a Vengeance
A197b
Debatable, personally I edge to no. RAW would edge to yes.
Way I see it, "Move less than half speed and remain flying, DC 10" still implies movement during your turn, whereas "Hover, DC 15" implies no movement at all. The second one sounds much true to the 5-Foot step rule. It also avoids the more "exploity" hover by 5-foot stepping between two points, technically gaining the benefits of Hover for a lower DC.
But I can see how one would say the 5-Foot Step is that movement implied by the "Move less"-DC.
RAW doesn't really make a difference between the two, and because Fly isn't an action of itself, it's hard to say in which order you apply the actions (Fly Check -> 5-Foot Step or 5-Foot Step -> Fly Check), although movement first and then checks makes more sense from the Rules (Generally you preform action, then roll for the outcome of action). Also adding that the falling due failing to fly happens at the end of your turn, that also seems to favor the lower DC 10.Proudly addicted to pointing out where exactly rules can be found.

The Whirlwind ability has no special clauses when it comes to damage, so we can assume that like an Air Elemental, they can be hit.
Do remember this line.

Re: Simple Q&A for Pathfinder 3: Find With a Vengeance
Q 199
Witch Familiar Hit Points.
Witch has an Improved Familiar (Faerie Dragon, fwiw). Witch has 54 base HP, Threefold Aspect (young) providing +1 Con (+13 hp), and False Life providing 19 temporary.
I believe;
Witch has 67 HP (54+13), and 19 Temporary HP
Familiar has 27 HP (Half of 54) The Constitution bonus does not last more than 24 hours, so it is temporary and does not apply. False Life is, by definition, temporary and does not apply.
