Ask a Simple Question: Singing Tesla Coil Edition

Q35: Is there a list of armours?

Alternately, if someone could recommend a light armour with a high AC and a (relatively) low +Dex, that would work too.

Stick a dastana and char-aina onto it.  (or however those OA things are spelled)

Gnomish twist clothe for the win.

Celestial Armor, DMG specific magic armors section.

Q34:

Is there a way for a Cleric to use a Magic Jar type spell? Or is there the same thing but differently named on either the Druid or Cleric Lists?

Please anyone?

Ah, I need to be more specific. It needs to cost less than 1350 gold, which means Celestial Armour is probably out.

@TML: Dastana is a good idea, if I end up with Leather, a Chain Shirt or Padded armour, because +1 AC (That stacks) for 25gp is ridiculous.

Does anyone else think that a 16500gp light armour, with a +4 bonus to AC, a +6 Max Dex and no armour check penalty, oh, and a +3 unnamed bonus to Charisma-based checks 1/day (For 3 hours, so long enough for almost any social encounter) is maybe a little strong? (The Admirals Bicorne is what, 51000 gp?)

A mithral chain shirt is 1100 gold, and gives you +4 to AC and has +6 DEX bonus with no check penalty. Add the dastana for an extra +1 for 25 gold.

Q 37:  Is there any point to getting Improved Unarmed Strike if I have natural weapons?

[Generic_PC]

A37: Its a common prereq for lots of monk-ish prestige classes, to start.

Q38 I need to explain how the venerable dragonwrought kobold shenanigans works to a newbie.... how can I do it without blowing his mind away?

You can't

You could start by telling him it does nothing that a monk class feature can do, then point out that its the 17th level class feature.

Q 37:  Is there any point to getting Improved Unarmed Strike if I have natural weapons?

You get iterative attacks which you can take even if you have neither hands nor a mouthpick weapon.  You ever seen a druid wild shaped into a megaraptor with power attack, leap attack, shock trooper and improved unarmed strike make a charge?

Q 39: This is a Pathfinder question...I noticed that for an animal companion to take feats other than the given list, they must have an Intelligence score of 3 or better. None of the animal companion possibilities I've found have an INT higher than 2....does anyone know of one?

Q 40 Is there a pied piper PrC?

[The_Mad_Linguist]

Q38 I need to explain how the venerable dragonwrought kobold shenanigans works to a newbie.... how can I do it without blowing his mind away?

Which one?

The obvious one is "the dragonwrought feat says you no longer take penalties for aging.  Being venerable gives you +3 to all mental stats and -6 to all physical stats.  Since you don't take any of penalties, it's a real bargain".

Q41:  Is there any way for a focused conjurer/malconvoker with abysmally low Wis to spontaneously convert his prepared spells into Summon Monster spells?

I'm considering trying to prove a point to a DM that allows full casters but won't allow a wild shape ranger/master of many forms/warshaper, because he's too worried about the power and options and surprises of the monster forms available.  I think he doesn't have his head on straight about this particular issue.  I think not even using monsters and still kicking ass should be a powerful demonstration of the point, but given that the character is primarily built around being a summoner, if I get in over my head for playing against build I'd like to leave the option open to say that I am not left-handed.

What stat do you have higher? CHA or INT? Because you could always go with Dynamic Priest or Academy Priest, respectfully, and use one of those stats instead of WIS.

Rolled ability scores so I wound up with an odd arrangement, naked I got Str 7, Dex 16, Con 14, Int 20, Wis 7, Cha 8.
EDIT: Why would a focused conjurer/malconvoker ever have Cha higher than Int? 

Should be able to punish enemies easily enough with orb spells, necromancy and transmutation debuffs and SOL effects, and clouds, but it's not really what the character was made for.  Feats are:
[spoiler]Augment Summoning^{B, enhanced summoning ACF}, Demon Mastery^{B, human}, Heighten Spell^flaw, Obtain Familiar (required to have one, and I traded mine away for rapid summoning), Sculpt Spell, Skill Focus (bluff)^{B, malconvoker}, Spell Focus Conjuration, and Summon Elemental[/spoiler]

I don't know if Academy/Dynamic Priest are gonna fly, DM tends to be suspicious of the more obscure material and I don't think anyone in the group has access to the mags.  Anything else?

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure those are from the Dragonlance Campaign Setting.

I just looked at the feats section of DCS and they're not there (not that the DM uses the book anyway, at least, not so far), don't seem to be in a sidebar in the cleric info either.

[kevin_video]

Sorry, my mistake, it's Academy Priest, not Academic Priest. It is from Dragonlance, but from the Legend of the Twins book (pg 12).

Academic Priest [General]
Your path to faith is more scholarly than those of other clerics.
Prerequisites: Intelligence 13+
Benefit: For the purpose of determining bonus divine spells per day and maximum divine spell level, your
primary spellcasting ability is Intelligence. If you have more than one divine spellcasting class, the bonus applies
to only one of those classes. Your spell save DCs are not affected by this change.
Special: You may only take this feat as a 1st-level character. If you take this feat more than once it applies to
a different divine spellcasting class each time. You may take this feat even if you have no divine spellcasting classes yet.

I don't know anything about the malconvoker so I don't know if this feat would do you any good.
