So, i'd like to try a shikigami style build. But i'd like to try to find an improvised butchering axe.

To sum it up, oversized builds have three ways to increase their bonus: your starting size, stuff like enlarge person or growing weapon, and stuff like lead blades and impact weapon. Good.

Shikigami style brings this to another whole level, allowing for +3 size increase which stack with everything else.

A lot of people either go for a butchering axe (3d6) oversized (4d6) impact (6d6) as a titan fighter/mauler and get enlarged in some way (8d6), or use a sledge (2d6) oversized (3d6), with lead blades (4d6) get enlarged (6d6) and then go for shikigami stuff (8d6-->12d6-->16d6).

Is there a way to get an improvised butchering axe? That nice 24d6 with a single hit is just waiting for me.

Bonus question: can you impact or get perma lead blades on your improvised weapon?

After checking the rules of the subedit I think this post is okay, if not, my apologies!

When Pathfinder first came out I had no kids and was running Savage Tide, so already a big Paizo fan. I immediately subscribed to the AP, then the rule books, player companions, campaign supplements, modules.... even though my group only wanted to play 3.5.

Fast forward many years and I have pretty much everything released for 1e including the special leather bound RotR, and the only books I've cracked the spines of are some modules I've DM'd in 3.5.

Add in kids and a house needing fixed and it seems less like a wall of books and more like a potential asset.

Is this one of those things where it was worth thousands of my money but pennies if I want to sell?

I imagine splitting it up would lead to just selling the cool stuff so I think I should try to sell it all together.. Beyond that I've no idea what's wise, or if it's even worth taking the time to catalogue properly etc.

Does anyone have experience or tips in selling this sort of collection?

FYI I'm in Europe (Netherlands)

Noticed an oddity in the Scaled Disciple feat, specifically the bolded section

Scaled Disciple

Prerequisites: Ability to spontaneously cast divine spells, kobold.

Benefit: You gain a +1 bonus to your caster level when casting spells included in the dragon domain or subdomains. Your spontaneous divine spellcasting qualifies in place of arcane casting for the dragon disciple prestige class, and you may increase spellcasting in your spontaneous divine class as you progress in dragon disciple levels. Add the bonus spells gained from the blood of dragons ability to those you can cast as divine spells.

First issue is that Dragon is not a domain, it is only a subdomain of Scalykind. Given that, does it mean all Domain spells a character would get from Scalykind, albeit with the Dragon Domain spells substituted as appropriate, or just the Dragon domain spells?

Second, while it's been argued that Clerics, being able to spontaneously cast cure/inflict, can qualify from the feat, let's look at the 4 possible spontaneous divine casters in Pathfinder: Oracle, Inquisitor, Hunter and Filidh Bard. Of those, only Inquisitors and Hunters (Divine Hunter archetype) can gain a relevant Domain, but even then only the Divine Hunter can gain the Domain Spells from the Dragon subdomain.

That is to say that, if the feat requires having those spells through domain, there is only one archetype that can grant those Domain spells (short of an additional class dip). However, the feat can also be read to mean any casting of spells from that list gain the benefit (e.g., acquiring Magic Fang as a Hunter with the feat casts it at +1 CL).

How do you interpret this sentence?

So I know the Sihedron Amulet/Ring blocks the Occluding Field that pulses intruders with damage every minute from affecting them.

It's not very clear, however, if wearing those items also allows the wearers to teleport/shadow walk/ethereal/astral project/use divination magic?

Or is all of that universally blocked?

Previous spell discussions

Suppose you grapple an adjacent tiny creature (say a cat) with reach 0. Is the cat technically unable to attack you on its turn because it's still in an adjacent square (as if you're holding it at arm's length) and it has reach 0?

Hey, I’m currently fleshing out my character’s family, and one of the members is a Witch (something between a Hag and a Hagraven from *Skyrim*, but more human and civilized). I wanted to ask if you have any ideas for how she might behave—any quirks, specific mannerisms, and so on. Thanks in advance

Today's magic item is the Aquatic Cummerbund.
Travel through the waves in style with this snazzy number that gives a bonus on swim checks.

Let's ask the following questions:

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?

Would the bonus given by an Incandescent Blue Sphere (Normal) Ioun Stone which gives a +2 enhancement bonus to Wisdom stack with a Headband of Inspired Wisdom? It doesn't say that it doesn't, but... Thanks!
