D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder / Apostle of Peace o.O ???
« on: November 14, 2017, 01:52:46 PM »
So, I was looking about prestige classes in BoED and it was the first time I carefully read the Apostle of Peace PrC. What I understand is that, it's easily one of the most poorly written PrC in the game imho. A lot of things simply doesn't make sense. Apart from that, the more I read about Apostle, the more questions I had. Although I love this class (yeah, I love pain...) I have some questions about RAW and how should I rule this class

1) check Vow of Poverty feat, a requirement for Apostle entry, and Proficiencies:

Vow of Poverty : ...You may not use any magic item of any sort, though you can benefit from magic items used on your behalf...

Apostle of Peace : As part of their sacred vows, apostles of peace forswear the use of armor, though they may wear magic items that protect them (such as a ring of protection or bracers of armor).

It seems to me that the Proficiency rule of Apostle overcomes the Vow of Poverty restriction, although I'm not sure about that.
Also, what do does it mean ''...magic item that protect them...''?? For example, Gloves of Dexterity grants bonus to Dexterity and therefore, bonus to AC. from what I get, the Apostle can benefit from that item.




2) see the restrictions of Vow of Peace

Vow of Peace: ...To fulfill your vow, you must not cause harm to any living creature (constructs and undead are not included in this prohibition)

now check the 4th lvl of Apostle of Peace

Censure Fiends (Su): A 4rd-level apostle of peace can censure fiends, much as good clerics turn undead ... ...Roll 2d6 + the apostle of peace's level + his Charisma modifier for censuring damage

What the hell?? Did I miss any rule here?? I don't really think an Apostle of Peace can use that. Ever. Please correct me if I'm making a mistake here.




3) At 10th level, an Apostle have access to Gate spell. Now let's say I'm playing one. Would I violate my vows by summoning a planetar in the middle of a battle encounter to fight for me?? Same question for every summoning spell in the game.




Any help I could get is really thankful!! :) :) :cool

Introduce Yourself / Hey

Hi guys, my name is Graath
Alright, to be honest I have no idea how I must introduce myself, I play D&D 3 and 3.5 several years now, and that's why I'm visiting this site and other similar ones.
I love basically everything based on fantasy and science-fiction, including board games, video games, novels etc
I'm apologizing for my not so great English and I hope this will not affect anyone here.
