How does Discipline Expertise work when you've swapped out schools available to you? Do you use the schools available to the base class or the ones you have access to from that class?

Re: [Pathfinder] Dreamscarred Press FAQ
Path of War
Is Diamond-Tipped Feathers limited to the list of conditions specified in the PFSRD? The wording of "conditions" is relatively vague, and the inclusion of Bestow Curse as an example suggests that it's a lot broader than just Paizo's list. If it is broader, though - what are the limitations on the conditions that it can cure? Could it cure/prevent ability damage, ability drain, permanent negative levels, mundane physical effects (such as being on fire), or being affected by a magical emanation such as Silence?

Re: [Pathfinder] Dreamscarred Press FAQ
Yes in fact it would. There is still some internal reviewing that I'm working on with Thunder, so the weapon restriction on it may not stand. For now, yes, Weapon Group Adaptation would open it up for you.
The ones you have access to.
Anything on the "conditions" list is definitely fodder, and I included Bestow Curse in the language to reflect that it can help shrug off other debuffs (Silence, Slow or Reduce Person would be another thing you might want to shrug off, for example). I didn't include an entire list for a couple of reasons: 1) More things may be added as time goes on and that's hard to add to something already published and 2) it leaves it to the DM's decision to allow it to work or not. It cannot prevent damage, that is stated, to attributes and abilities, it can shrug off negative levels as that is a condition, and as far as being on fire I'd allow it.

Q: The Harbinger's Ill Tidings class feature gives a 10 ft. (and later another 10 ft.) increase to all her movement speeds. The Harbinger's Grim News class feature grants new movement modes that are as fast as the Harbinger's base land speed. Does this mean that the 10 ft. increase counts double for those movement types?
Example: My level 9 Harbinger has a 40 ft. base land speed, thanks to Ill Tidings. I choose Dark Wings for my newly gained Grim News upgrade. Is it a 40 ft. or a 50 ft. fly speed?My homebrew:Reborn Necromancer and Feats

Psionics Expanded:
So, the talent Conceal Thoughts seems powerful for a cantrip-equivalent; it seems to give +10 Bluff basically for free. Am I completely off base in thinking that a character could just keep up the +10 Bluff all day by burning psionic focus every hour, then refocusing as a standard action?

Do a maneuver's additional damage dice multiply with non-crit events such as a braced weapon versus a charging opponent, or a lance during a mounted charge?

Re: [Pathfinder] Dreamscarred Press FAQ
1st question - that's a great question. I have no idea. I'm sure someone's figured it out already though!
2nd question -
A - You pick one to advance with the maneuvers gained; that one gets a 1:1 advancement. The other one would get 1/2:1 advancement as you would add half the PrC's level to the IL of the one not being advanced.
B - No. Gifted Blade is not compatible with War Soul as archetypes go. I don't think there is a way for a soulknife to enter in any fashion without multiclassing, at least not easily. A Pathwalker PsiWarrior can enter awakened blade by himself though.

No, it's fully compatible.
War Soul removes Psychic Strike dice at lvl 10.
Soulknife get Psychic Strike dice at lvl 11.
This said, War Soul is either fully compatible or impossible to be picked.

Re: [Pathfinder] Dreamscarred Press FAQ
... Gifted Blade has the following text.
This ability replaces the psychic strike class feature normally gained by soulknives. The gifted blade never gains the psychic strike class feature.This ability replaces the psychic strike class feature and the blade skill at 10th level.

Re: [Pathfinder] Dreamscarred Press FAQ
By default, temporary HP never stack with themselves or temp HP from other sources in PF (there's an FAQ on the matter); we normally mention it explicitly to be polite. I did forget the duration. Right now the RAW has them lasting until overwritten or expended. I'll probably get that altered to "up to 1 minute".

Re: [Pathfinder] Dreamscarred Press FAQ
Hmm, this is different from the answer I got from the deves (you I think, ErrantX), when I asked the same thing on the old DSP boards. I wrote the answer I was given then into my house rules set, so I’m very confident this is a new interpretation.
At that point the answer was that PrC’s add their level to all Initiator levels you have, including the Martial feats’s Initiator level. It was specified at the time that you did have to select what class (or feat) you add each new maneuver, new maneuver slot or swap to.
So, can I ask if this is a deliberate change from the old answer, and maybe the thoughts behind it?
I’m sad the old board’s can’t be accessed any more. No one knows a way to get anything back from them, right? (I tried Wayback machine and Google cache already for what I was looking for).

Re: [Pathfinder] Dreamscarred Press FAQ
This caught me a weird because the question seems to be phrased incorrectly or incompletely.
First I want to quote the items in question:
Dark Wings: The harbinger gains a fly speed equal to her base land speed at Good maneuverability. This flight is supernatural in nature; though the harbinger may develop wings or another form of evident propulsion, she flies through supernatural acumen alone.
Ill Tidings (Ex): Like unwanted news, the harbinger travels swiftly. The harbinger gains a 10 foot competence bonus to her movement speeds. This bonus increases by 10 feet at 10th level.
My understanding is that “Base Speed” is what your race supplies. For Human, your base speed is 30, and that will never change. If you wear heavy armor your Land Speed drops to 20ft, but your base speed doesn’t change, since, logically, you need a fixed (base) value to calculate any bonuses or reductions from!
Given than, for a human with 30ft base speed, Dark Wings grants a fly speed of 30, which is then improved by Ill tidings to 40.
Now, the flip side of this is that you can wear heavy or medium armor and still fly at 40, since armor reduces your land speed, but never your BASE land speed.
I see that Lord_Gareth has already answered this, but I felt that since it was based on specific wording, it might merit a second look from the devs.Last edited by ATalsen; 2015-06-12 at 11:35 AM.

Q: What does standard attack actually means in the context of Thrashing Dragon Style? Does it only works on attacks you make by taking a standard action, in which case the feat would be really weak, or does it also applies to AoOs? (which would be awesome)

Re: [Pathfinder] Dreamscarred Press FAQ
It should, yes. Ranged Defensive Focus says "This functions as normal warder defensive focus, except for the following changes...", so the increases to the threatened area should occur as normal.
(While I'm not technically the author of this archetype, I'm largely responsible for its continued existence and had a fair amount of input on its abilities.)Last edited by Ssalarn; 2015-06-14 at 06:00 AM.

TL;DR: No
Share Pain reads:
You take half damage from all attacks that deal hit point damage to you, and the subject takes the remainder.

Re: [Pathfinder] Dreamscarred Press FAQ
Path of War: Expanded
Mounted Maneuver Expertise indicates that mounts do not benefit from bonus damage from maneuvers.
However, Primal Warrior Stance does not provide bonus damage, but modifies the damage of a (natural) weapon. Is this an accurate reading of the rules?
Spoiler: Relevant textMounted Maneuver Expertise (Ex): At 1st level, the hussar and his mount are so in tune with each other that they can work as one when performing maneuvers. Whenever a hussar is mounted and uses a maneuver with a movement component (such as making a charge attack, or taking an extra move action), the hussar can have his mount make the appropriate move action in his place. Both the hussar and mount receive any bonuses from the maneuver that would normally apply only to the initiator (such as attack bonuses, healing, temporary health, but not bonus damage). If the maneuver allows the initiator to make a charge attack, both the mount and hussar are considered to be charging.
Primal Warrior Stance:
By taking a wide stance that invites the death of any before him, the mighty disciple of Primal Fury wields the power of overwhelming force to it's greatest effects. The initiator ignores difficult terrain when charging while in this stance, and whenever he is subject to a size modifier for CMB checks or to his CMD, the disciple is treated as one size category larger if doing so would be advantageous to him. He is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature's special attacks based on size (such as grab or swallow whole) can affect him.

He is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature's special attacks based on size (such as grab or swallow whole) can affect him. Additionally, any melee weapon, unarmed strike, or natural weapon is treated as if it were two sizes larger. The benefits of this stance stack with abilities or effects that increase the initiator's size (such as enlarge person). The benefits of this stance stack with abilities or effects that increase the initiator's size (such as enlarge person).
In addition, for the Omen Rider:
"Unlike a druid’s animal companion, a spectral steed may not take an archetype; additionally, the share spells allows the spectral steed to always be in-tune with its rider’s use of maneuvers from the Veiled Moon discipline, and may also teleport with its rider on maneuvers that would translocate it or grant it the ability to see and strike incorporeal creatures."
Does the "in-tune with its rider's use of maneuvers from the Veiled Moon discipline" override the latter part of the sentence with regard to Shattered Mirror and Eternal Guardian teleportation maneuvers?Last edited by MilleniaAntares; 2015-06-14 at 07:03 PM.
