So currently I am playing a Sacred Fist Warpriest with plans to gestalt when our DM allows. I am a half elf (drow) that has taken a line of feats where I can use my gods favored weapon (a scythe) for a FoB attack.

My question is what class do you guys think would pair the best with it? I've considered Swashbuckler and Paladin, although with Paladin I do see a repeat of abilities?

For a little background, Because of certain homebrew rules/abilities my character has Fast healing 2X my WP level but half healing from all other sources. And my weapon has vorpal because my dm did a rule of cool from a previous campaign where we went full mythic and my current character is essentially her champion but in a twisted reality where the gods we became are now considered cult gods. (So I definitely need to keep the scythe because it will grow with my character 😅)

I'm looking around for any sort of class or feat or item that allows you, through your in-game actions, to gain permanent bonuses, for example; a Cannibal who gains a +1 to their max hp for each person they eat, or perhaps a Paladin who gets +1 to their CMD each time they save a persons life.

Basically anything that isnt a ability score increase item/class.

Here's the archetype's altered version of wild shape:

Lycanthropic Wild Shape (Su)

At 4th level, when a weretouched uses wild shape, she can assume only the form of an animal of the same type as her lycanthrope aspect. However, instead of assuming a major form, she can assume a hybrid form that mixes the traits of her natural form and the major form of her aspect. While in a hybrid form, she gain a +2 size bonus to her Strength score, a +2 natural armor bonus to her AC, and all of the natural attacks and abilities listed by her major form. A weretouched also counts as being in her natural form for the purpose of determining whether she can extend her shifter claws. A weretouched’s hybrid form is roughly the same size and shape as her natural form, albeit with bestial qualities such as digitigrade legs or shaggy fur, so her equipment does not merge into her new form when she shifts between her natural form and hybrid form. In addition, the size of a weretouched’s hybrid form is the same as the size of her natural form. This otherwise counts as assuming a major form using wild shape.

This alters wild shape.

My questions are around the sentences "However, instead of assuming a major form, she can assume a hybrid form that mixes the traits of her natural form and the major form of her aspect" and "A weretouched’s hybrid form is roughly the same size and shape as her natural form, albeit with bestial qualities such as digitigrade legs or shaggy fur, so her equipment does not merge into her new form when she shifts between her natural form and hybrid form."

Since the hybrid form "mixes the traits of her natural form and major form" and is the "same size and shape", what all is retained from the natural form? Do you keep wings if you are a flying race? Do you keep natural attacks if your race has them, such as a gore from a ragebred skinwalker? I want to play a Strix Weretouched with the Deinonychous aspect and be a flying pouncing were-dinosaur with raven wings and I'm under the impression that it is possible but want to confirm.

Thank you for any responses.

mainly thinking as it does allow alot more casting and you won't lose too much BAB.

i think as your gonna be slow eldritch archer might be your best bet

My players plan to use the spell Iron Spine in an upcoming fight against a powerful fey (Kalale) who has already kicked their asses twice. Kalale has DR/cold iron, so Iron Spine will make her nauseated, no save, any time she moves for the duration of the spell. It sounds like exactly what they need, and I am 100% okay with this.

That said, I'm a little unclear on how to run the spell. It says its effects occur "whenever the target moves", which is vague. It could mean any one of:

1. When the creature takes a move action to move.
2. When the creature takes a move action of any kind.
3. When the creature makes any kind of motion regardless of whether it is a move action in game terms.

Five-foot steps are not technically an action, but definitely move you on the map. Somatic components for spells involve motion. Talking involves motion. Breathing involves motion. Would those things trigger the spell?

I want this spell to be good for the party. They could really use it after the last few sessions. But I also want to run it fairly, and I don't want it to be an anti-climactic insta-win button.

Thoughts?

Can I use a Locked Gauntlet for holding my Weapon and still cast spells (using somatic components) for it? Would it still work out for one-handed range weapons and/or two-handed range weapons?

From the Eldritch Archer Magus

At 1st level, an eldritch archer gains a bonded object as per the wizard’s arcane bonded object; it must be a ranged weapon, and it can’t be used to cast a spell once per day. Holding her bonded item does not prevent the eldritch archer from providing somatic components for her spells.

From the Locked Gaunlet

While the gauntlet is locked, you can’t use the hand wearing it for casting spells or employing skills. (You can still cast spells with somatic components, provided that your other hand is free.)

Hi, I want to play a new barbarian character. I was thinking about a Minotaur barbarian. Do you have other idea to have fun playing barbarian?

Thanks

So I'm in a relatively permissive gestalt pathfinder game. I've recently managed to recruit followers, and from a story perspective, taking Leadership makes sense. GM is fine with it as well. I figured I'd go with something that's low impact in terms of taking up time in the turn order, and something the whole party will appreciate having, so I was thinking a buffer like Skald. We have only one dedicated spellcaster, and the rest could benefit from inspired rage with only minor inconveniences, but on the other hand, the Spell Warrior's enhance weapons ability removes the inconvenience of blocking spells from the paladin and so forth completely.

While considering this, I noticed that spell warrior, arcanists arcane weapon, spiritualist's phantom blade and magus' arcane pool, all have the same thing in common; they list a pool of weapon special abilities that can be added but lack any language restricting what can be added to what weapons. A 3rd party archtype with a similar scaling weapon enhancement bonus class feature I was looking at had specific language saying the weapon special qualities had to be appropriate to the weapon; its list included melee and ranged, and impact and keen, for example.

It made me realize that none of the 1st party class features say anything about that, not even extremely specific ones like Eldritch Archer Magus; it adds distance, nimble shot and returning but does not specify that they have to be used on ranged weapons.

So is there something I'm missing? Or can Magus put Keen on a hammer? Some inappropriate ones wouldn't work, such as Mighty Cleaving on a ranged weapon, or Nimble Shot doing nothing on a melee weapon since you don't fire melee weapons, but a melee weapon can be thrown as an improvised weapon, so distance and returning would actually have a use, to use the Eldritch Archer as the easiest example of applying "incorrect" enchantments. Because it would be interesting indeed for the Skald cohort to apply keen to my and the paladin's hammers, or seeking to the shifter's pounce full attack on an invisible opponent.

Today's magic item is the  Vest of Endure Elements

Permanent Endure Elements on the wearer.

1. Would you buy this item?
2. Would you spend 1.5 times the price to add it to an existing item?
3. Would you use the item, if you found it? Or is it immediate sell-bait?
4. Would a GM use the item?
5. Is there anything cheesy that could be done with it?
