Can a good cleric use necromancy

Pharasma is not evil, but she hates undead. Despite this, it is said that some necromancers serve her: they are forbidden to create undead, but as long as they do not object to this restriction, nothi …

Can a Magus enchant his fists?

The rules are unclear, but I would be tempted to say yes, with some caveats. For most characters and purposes, an unarmed strike is not a natural weapon (or a weapon of any kind). Some effects, like …

How exactly do favored classes work?

Can you pick a favored class different from your actual class at first level? Yes. The core books explicitly state that this is an unusual thing to do, but it's not against the rules. Is it a good id …

Does making an animal more intelligent automatically make them a magical beast

Usually there's no practical difference between providing a bonus to a score and actually raising that score, but your particular example hits upon one of the few points where it matters. The spell yo …

How do I play a paladin without being a stick in the mud?

David Eddings was an English teacher who deliberately tried to write fantasy stories that stuck as strictly as possible to formula while still being interesting. The results are quite good, but becaus …

Can a diamond with Soul Bind be detected inside a living body?

You can see auras through opaque objects, within certain limits. The SRD doesn't list flesh as being opaque to the spell, and if we took "wood/earth" as the closest material, you'd need a wall several …

Moonlight stalker and wind stance interaction

20% appears to be the default miss chance for "concealment," when no other number is stated. Given that, I'd be tempted to argue that the "20%" listing in Wind Stance shouldn't be there: it was just a …

Pathfinder: can a ghost wear armor?

Although it was never ported to Pathfinder, there is precedent in d20 for ghosts being able to wear and use ghost touch armor: the Ghostwalk campaign setting. It was one of the last books released by …

Can I resume levelling up as a paladin after taking a few levels as an Oracle?

Your friend would be correct if you were playing 3.5e, but Pathfinder got rid of this rule. You can go back to Paladin. The last edition where you couldn't go back to Paladin was 3.5e, and even in th …

What do I do about PCs using Con damage to "nuke" bosses?

If the PCs have really gone all-in on this, then they should start getting famous (or infamous?) for it. You can start hinting at this in towns. Once they get famous for their tactics, it starts to ma …

What reason would there be for a ruler to forgo having himself resurrected?

There are no game mechanics that prevent it. You cannot resurrect someone whose time is up, but others have already gone through myriad ways around this. But this question isn't really about preventin …

How far can characters see?

On a clear day, the human eye can make out airplanes flying five miles above them. On a clear night, it can pick out a candle flame at comparable distances. Generally speaking, Perception checks shou …

Why would a Druid use the Awaken spell?

Keep in mind that awaken doesn't actually give you much ability to control the target. For any target other than your most recent, the creature starts out friendly toward you and understands that you' …

Counter-Attack Houserule

The big issue with just making it a natural 1 is that this makes it more frequent than critical hits, which become a problem when the players make so many more rolls than the enemies. One thing you c …

Forcing others to use cursed items against their will?

It's possible. But the thing to keep in mind is that "cursed item" is a misnomer: they're just items with a use that doesn't intuitively match with what they look like, and happens to make the intuiti …
