Written by Jefferson Thacker

Know Direction 71 – Late October 2013

After an absense of banter from the last few episodes, Ryan and Perram dive right in, asking the question: how has Pathfinder changed now that it is a mature game?

“Jester” David Gibson asks on Facebook:
Where does a bow fall regarding options that require one hand free (such as the snapping turtle style feat)? On the one hand, you have a free hand when using a bow except when actually shooting. On the other hand, it is called a two-handed weapon.

Know Question: Improved Unarmed strike + Reach weapon threaten both 5 and 10 ft?

A couple semi-related questions. First, the celestial template grants DR/Evil. But this does not allow celestial creatures to bypass the DR of fiendish creatures, correct?
Second, the same template grants the Smite Evil ability, but this is a heavily edited version of the power and does not even mention it’s a Supernatural power. So would it include all the other benefits of Smite Evil (such as bypassing DR and dealing more damage to outsiders and undead) or not?

Know Question: When you gain a bonus to attributes as a level advancement, place it into INT and get a new language, does the new language have to be one from the racial starting languages? or can it be any as if you had taken the linguistics skill and any language is allowed GM permitting?

How would you guys play the explosive missile alchemist discovery from ultimate combat? As written, you could take an unloaded heavy crossbow with its full-round reload, and fire it every round for full damage AND bomb damage, and still have your move action available. (ultimate combat, page 24)

I also would like to say I didn’t like voice of the gnome on the go but I’m hoping the concept could be add to the podcast. Thanks guys!
