Interesting stuff in Pathfinder

[TC X0 Lt 0X]

So in the Healers Handbook Druids get the Druidic Herbalism option as an alternative Nature Bond. It allows you to make herbal concoctions, which fuction like potions, and is effectively Brew Potion using exclusively the Druid Spell List.

But of note, starting at first level you can make a number of concoctions equal to your Wisdom modifier FOR FREE. The Druid even has the option to sell these concoctions as potions (with a side note of people maybe doubting they are actually potions). This is pretty damn potent at first level, for adventuring and gold.

Of course you are limited to how many potions you can make later on with a 1000gp daily cap, but wait, at 4th level the time to create potions is cut in half, and at 7th you can make one in a minute.

On top of that they can make their potions look like different potions, and can make concoctions above 3rd level, though those concoctions act as alchemist extracts (still decently potent for passing buffs around or other uses).

It is detailed on the pfsrd druid page HERE. I might be misreading somewhere here, but if not this is a really strong option, which given it is a trade out for Animal Companion you would expect something worthwhile.

[Ice9]

Holy crap!  So, unlimited free potions of anything 3rd level and below? 
At 4th level it can even be from other class lists if you have access to it!

Somewhat odd thematically, but a Druid 7 with the Dreamed Secrets feat can make potions herbal concoctions of any Sor/Wiz spell.

Expect nerfs incoming, I would guess.

[TC X0 Lt 0X]

Oh damn I missed that last line for 4th level. Normally PF tries to avoid letting other classes get in on other class goodies with direct multiclassing =P

[Fadier]

I don't know how useful this is but according to the wording

... and she can create concoctions of spells from any spell list, as long as she can cast the spell.

If another class has a lower level version of a druid spell you could lower its level in the concoction.

e.g. Dispel Magic is a 4th level Druid spell but 3rd level for everyone else. You could make a 3rd level concoction of Dispel Magic with no shenanigans (if you are 7th level).



Edit

Has Pathfinder removed the limit of working on 1 magical item per day? If so that Wis/day free potions might misleading.

Edit Edit

Regardless of the time needed for construction, a caster can create no more than one magic item per day.

So the Wis/day free concoctions is false. You get 1 free concoction per day.

[TC X0 Lt 0X]

Specific rules would trump General rules in this case though wouldnt it?

The class feature states it can make a number of concoctions equal to Wis mod for free per day, so I would imagine that trumps the general of only crafting 1 magic item per day. It can probably be argued they cant craft any other magic items for the day after that though.

[Fadier]

Specific rules would trump General rules in this case though wouldnt it?

Probably but it's more likely that the writers did not know about the magic item per day limits. It's not a big deal really, its just more ineptitude on the writers part.


I wonder if they intend that when you can craft concoctions in 1 minute if you can spend the whole day making potions?
Lets say you are limited to 8 hours of crafting a day (as normal), 8*60 = 480 potions. Do you think that they thought it was fine to create 480 potions (7th level ability says this is free if its level 4+) a day?

That's pretty nuts.

Well it is crazy if/when you need a mass number of potions for whatever reason, but after those free potions the normal cost of crafting potions is expensive as hell =P
Id agree that they probably looked over the normal limit.

Additionally, at 7th level, a druid can create any herbal concoction in 1 minute. She can also create a special concoction of any spell higher than 3rd level that she can cast, but to do so, she must expend a spell slot of the same level. These special concoctions do not cost her anything to create and function like extracts created by an alchemist with the infusion discovery.

Actually they cost nothing to create but somehow function as the infusion discovery

The infusion discovery limits you to "daily extract slots" which druids have none. So RAW this is a class ability you cannot use.

As a random guess this might be intended to take up spell slots, which gets weird once you start lowering the levels of the concoctions (as I posted before).


Do I need to state that Piazo sucks at DnD mechanics?

I was generally referring to the normal Herbal Concoctions (3rd or lower). The "Special" Herbal Concoctions are different, though I do see where you are going with the wording on the Infusion Discovery. The class feature does say you expend a spell slot to create them, which seems to be by RAW count as the extract slot it occupies, but yeah by RAW it will disappear immediately if it has no extract slot to fill.

Really though there isn't many game developers on either Paizo, WotC, or most 3rd party that do d20 Mechanics well anyways. There is a lot of reading between the lines expected and general bad assumptions.

TEMPORAL REGRESSION
School conjuration (teleportation); Level druid 9, psychic 8,
sorcerer/wizard 8, witch 8
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, F (hourglass filled with powdered
horacalcum worth 1,500 gp)
Range personal and close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels; see below)
Duration 1 round/level or until discharged
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no
When you complete this spell, note your current location
and condition, including your hit point total and any ongoing
conditions affecting you as well as their durations (e.g. poison,
sickened, ability damage, and spell effects). This spell creates
a beacon in space-time that’s imperceptible to anyone but
you. As a standard action while you are within range of the
beacon before the spell’s duration expires, you can discharge
the spell to transport yourself back to the marked location
and restore yourself to the condition you were in when you
cast the spell; this does not restore any expended items,
charges, or spells you may have used during that time. This
does not reverse effects for anyone else,
and to bystanders it appears as though
you teleported to the beacon location
and regained conditions you had when
the beacon was set. Temporal regression
strains your body; when the spell is discharged,
you gain 1 temporary negative level for every
2 rounds that passed
since you cast the
spell. These negative
levels disappear after
24 hours.
You can discharge
the spell to transport
yourself back to
your beacon as an
immediate action instead
of a standard action, but
doing so utterly and entirely
consumes the spell’s focus.

My new favorite spell?

TEMPORAL DIVERGENCE
School transmutation; Level psychic 7, sorcerer/wizard 7, witch 7
Casting Time 1 swift action
Components V, S, M (mithral wishbone worth 100 gp)
Range personal
Target you
Duration instantaneous
This spell allows you to witness two divergent decisions and
choose which to pursue. Upon completing this spell, you must
immediately choose two other different spells that you could
cast at that moment and that each have a casting time of 1
standard action; these spells take effect simultaneously, and you
must track all resulting effects, areas of effect, saving throws,
and other outcomes separately as if each had been cast normally
and the other spell had never happened. Once you’ve seen how
each spell resolves, you must choose which version of reality
occurred, expending the standard action, prepared spell,
and material components as necessary. The other
spell’s results are ignored and do not require
an action or expend the prepared spell,
spell slot, or material components. If the
targets of the spell you did not choose
expended any resources or effects to resist
your spell, those resources or effects are also
not expended. If you cast this spell and do not
or cannot immediately follow the instructions
described above, this spell has no effect.
For example, after casting this spell, a wizard
could cast temporal stasis on a demon and
fireball on a group of orcs. Seeing that the
demon succeeds at its saving throw against
temporal stasis and that the fireball kills many
orcs, the wizard chooses the fireball to take effect.
The temporal stasis is treated as if it had not been cast,
and its spell slot and costly material
component are not expended.
Casting this spell
more than once in a
single day is risky.
On the second and subsequent
casting in a 24-hour period,
you must succeed at a DC
25 Will saving throw or
be exposed to a crippling
array of possibilities and
paradoxes that leave you
confused for 24 hours.
Whenever this confusion
would cause you to attack
the nearest creature, you instead expend
your highest-level remaining prepared spell
or spell slot, if any, with no effect.

BUTCHERING AXE PRICE 65 GP
TYPE exotic
A creation of the orc smiths of Belkzen, this axe
has an oversized head bristling with spikes
and a long, thick haft that only barely
counterbalances its weight. If your Strength
is less than 19 (or 17 for a Small or smaller
butchering axe), you take a –2 penalty on
attacks with it, as you’re unable to
maneuver its daunting size and weight.

HORNBOW, ORC PRICE 130 GP
TYPE exotic
Larger even than a longbow, these bows are often made from
the horns of great beasts. Though they have a shorter range
than other bows, their greater destructive power is highly
favored by orcs and their kin. All hornbows are composite bows
and can be modified to benefit from high Strength scores in the
same way as other composite bows. Any effect that applies to
both longbows and shortbows also applies to hornbows.

ABSORB RUNE I
School abjuration; Level bard 4, cleric 4,
magus 4, occultist 4, sorcerer/wizard 4
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M (a white silk glove
worth 25 gp)
Range touch
Target one spell effect
Duration instantaneous plus 1 minute/
level (see text)
Saving Throw Will negates (harmless); Spell Resistance yes
(harmless)
This spell allows you to lay your hand upon a magical glyph,
symbol, or other magical written spell effect (referred to in this spell
description as a “rune”) and attempt to absorb the essence of
its effect. To absorb a rune, you must be aware of the rune’s
existence (but need not know the details of what it actually
does) and then succeed at a caster level check (DC = 10 + the
caster level of the spell affect being absorbed) as you touch the
rune in question. If you fail this caster level check, the magical
rune is not triggered unless you fail the roll by 5 or more.
If you succeed at the caster level check, the rune is removed
from the surface it was originally placed upon and duplicated
on the cloth of a silk glove worn on your hand. The rune
remains located on the glove’s palm in an inert state for up
to 1 minute per caster level. As a standard action taken at
any time during that duration, you can transfer the rune to
another surface similar to the one it was originally placed
upon, at which point the rune’s function either returns to
normal or dissipates harmlessly as if successfully dispelled
(your choice). If the spell’s duration expires before you
place the rune on a new surface, the absorbed rune
dissipates harmlessly.
Absorb rune I affects only runes whose effects
are equivalent to a spell of 3rd level or lower. An
attempt to use absorb rune I on a more powerful
effect automatically triggers the rune when you
touch it.

ABSORB RUNE II
School abjuration; Level bard 6, cleric 6, magus 6,
occultist 6, sorcerer/wizard 6
This spell functions like absorb rune I, but it can
affect runes equivalent to a spell of 5th level
or lower.

ABSORB RUNE III
School abjuration; Level cleric 9, sorcerer/
wizard 9
This spell functions like absorb rune I, but it can
affect runes equivalent to a spell of 8th level
or lower.

Arms of Achaekek: The small barbs that grow on the crimson
chymist’s arms when she drinks her mantis mutagen grow
significantly in size, granting her two claw attacks as natural
weapons. These claws deal damage as appropriate for her
size (1d4 for Medium crimson chymists) and function as
secondary attacks. These claws do not
replace the chymist’s hands, and
she can still use her hands
to wield weapons, attack, hold objects, and otherwise use
her hands with ease, but she cannot be wearing any item in
the wrists slot or any armor—if she dons magic items that
occupy the wrists slot or any armor, her claws shrink back to
cosmetic barbs that can’t be used in combat as long as the
armor or wrist items are worn. A crimson chymist must be
at least 6th level before selecting this discovery.

HAND’S AUTONOMY
Your possessed hand can act independently.
Prerequisite: Possessed Hand.
Benefit: You reduce the penalties for fighting with two
weapons (including fighting with double weapons or when
throwing weapons from each hand) by 2, to a minimum
penalty of –1. This benefit stacks with the Two-Weapon
Fighting feat. When you are unconscious, paralyzed, asleep,
or stunned, your possessed hand can still act on your behalf
in a limited fashion. The hand uses your statistics when
performing any action in this manner. The hand can’t take
attacks of opportunity, but can draw attacks of opportunity
from actions it takes. The hand can perform the following
actions each turn on your initiative count.
• The hand can retrieve or pick up an item or weapon as a
standard action.
• The hand can attempt any of the following skill checks
at a –4 penalty: Disable Device, Escape Artist, Heal,
Sleight of Hand, or Use Magic Device.
• The hand can knock you prone as a free action, and
drag you while you’re prone at a speed of 5 feet as a full-
round action.
• The hand can perform any other action appropriate for
a hand and an arm, such as pouring a held potion into
your mouth or awakening you from a sleep spell.
• The hand can make a single melee or ranged attack with
a light or one-handed weapon as a full-round action.

A pretty awesome wizard archetype IMO

(click to show/hide)

PACT WIZARD (WIZARD ARCHETYPE)
While the art of wizardry is usually a scholar’s pursuit,
there are those who seek mastery of arcane power without
tedious study and monotonous research. Motivated by
foolish ambition, such individuals turn to the greatest
enigmas of the cosmos in the hopes of attaining greater
power. Though few successfully attract the attention of
these forces, those who do receive phenomenal arcane
power for their efforts, but become the dutiful playthings
and servants of the forces with which they consort.
Effortless Magic (Ex): Although a pact wizard still uses
a spellbook to prepare his wizard spells, his close ties
with his otherworldly patron allow him to do so nearly
effortlessly. A pact wizard can prepare all of his spells in
only 15 minutes, and his minimum preparation time is
only 1 minute.
This alters the wizard’s spellcasting.
Patron Spells: At 1st level, a pact wizard must select a
patron. This functions like the witch class ability of the
same name, except the pact wizard automatically adds his
patron’s spells to his spellbook instead of to his familiar.
In addition, the pact wizard can expend any prepared spell
that isn’t a spell prepared using the additional spell slot
the wizard receives from his arcane school in order to
spontaneously cast one of his patron’s spells of the same
level or lower.
This ability replaces Scribe Scroll.
Great Power, Greater Expense (Ex): As a pact wizard
grows in power, his choice of patron begins to affect his
physical body. At 5th level, the pact wizard chooses one
oracle curse, using 1/2 his character level as his effective
oracle level when determining the effects of this curse.
If an oracle curse would add spells to the oracle’s list of
spells known, the pact wizard instead add those spells to
the wizard’s spell list as well as to his spellbook.
At 10th level, the pact wizard can invoke his patron’s
power to roll twice and take the better result when
attempting any caster level check, concentration check,
initiative check, or saving throw. He can activate this
ability as a free action before attempting the check, even if
it isn’t his turn. He can use this ability a number of times
per day equal to 3 + 1/2 his Intelligence modifier. At 15th
level, when the pact wizard invokes his patron’s power to
roll twice on a check, he adds his Intelligence bonus to the
result as an insight bonus. When he applies metamagic
feats to any spells he learned via his patron or curse,
he treats that spell’s final effective level as 1 lower (to a
minimum level equal to the spell’s original level).
At 20th level, whenever the pact wizard invokes his
patron’s power to roll twice on a check and his result is
a natural 20, he automatically succeeds, regardless of
whether or not a check of that type would normally allow
an automatic success.
This ability replaces the bonus feats a wizard gains at
5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th level.

Lazurite-Bonded Armor: While crafting lazurite equipment
has proven to be a notoriously difficult feat, some artificers,
particularly among Darklands ghouls, have concocted a
means of coaxing small amounts of lazurite into sets of
armor. These sets of armor include thin lines of blackened
lazurite crisscrossing the regular surface of the armor. A
creature wearing a set of lazurite-bonded armor gains a +2
bonus on saves to resist channeled energy and against cure
spells. The wearer must attempt a Will save against positive
energy channeling, regardless of whether it’s harmful or
helpful to the wearer. A living creature slain while wearing
lazurite-bonded armor has a 10% chance of spontaneously
rising as a ghoul after 24 hours.
A set of light armor bonded with lazurite costs an
additional 1,500 gp. A set of medium armor bonded with
lazurite costs an additional 2,500 gp. A set of heavy armor
bonded with lazurite costs an additional 3,500 gp.

BLIGHTBURN
Blightburn is a highly radioactive crystalline mineral that
grows in isolated pockets throughout the Darklands, from
Nar-Voth all the way down to Orv. When exposed to air,
blightburn crystals give off a deep green glow as bright as
a candle. Any creature coming into physical contact with a
blightburn crystal takes 2d6 points of fire damage per round,
and creatures within 60 feet of blightburn crystals are exposed
to blightburn radiation. Blightburn radiation interferes with
spells of the teleportation subschool. A character attempting
to teleport into or out of an area of blightburn radiation
must succeed at a caster level check (DC = the Fortitude save
DC for the radiation) to successfully cast the spell.

(click to show/hide)

Tentacles (Su): As a swift action, the arcanist can spend
2 points from his arcane pool to sprout a pair of rubbery
tentacles that grow from his upper chest. At the same time,
his arms shrink into sickly, malformed stubs, capable of
only rudimentary actions such as lifting small objects or
making somatic gestures. Rings, bracers, and other items
worn on the atrophied arms and hands remain in place,
but magic items that require hands to activate
cannot be used while the arcanist’s arms are
in this state. Likewise, the use of weapons or
shields is impossible during this time. The
arcanist has full control over his hideous
tentacles and can use them to deliver
touch spells, or as secondary
natural weapons that deal tentacle
damage as appropriate for a
creature of the arcanist’s size (1d4
for Medium arcanists, or 1d3 for
Small ones) modified by 1/2 the
arcanist’s Strength score. The
arcanist’s reach with these
tentacles is 5 feet longer
than his normal reach.

A bunch of the story feats are really interesting.

Want to make constructs but don't want to spend a ton of feats on it? Protector Of The People gives you Craft Construct without meeting its prerequisites, but you have to build a CR 5+ golem for someone else, first. The cheapest I've found are the rope (7200 gp), tallow (6750 gp), and wood (8800 gp) golems, depending on which sets of books are in play (rope and tallow are 3rd party, but wood is from a Paizo book). As an extra bonus, you get a 10% discount on making constructs cheaper than your first, donated golem.

Regardless of the time needed for construction, a caster can create no more than one magic item per day.

So the Wis/day free concoctions is false. You get 1 free concoction per day.

So I was just looking over DSP's Vitalist and I found a nice combo. At 11th level, a Vitalist with the Soulthief method gets this ability: "any time a soulthief manifests a power or psi-like ability that deals hit point damage, it heals him for 50% of the damage dealt. If the power does hit point damage to multiple targets, the soulthief only heals 50% of the damage to the target dealt the highest damage."

Now, buy a Surge Crystal. This gives you a unimpressive wildsurge, but it also lets you use surge augments. Psionics Augmented: Wilders has the power Sympathetic Drain. This power allows you to up to half your max health to do that much damage to any target within close range. If you wildsurged while manifesting, the damage is doubled. It allows SR, and while there is a save, it doesn't reduce the damage, just prevents a 1-round sicken rider. Put these together, and you can spend 3PP to deal damage equal to your max health to any target within close range with no save. It's cheap enough that you can easily quicken it as well. Best of all, this costs so little, that you still have the amazing buffing and healing abilities of any other Vitalist.

For advanced mode, take the Sadist archetype and Unwilling Participant to add enemies to your collective and get temp PP for killing them. You might also be able to take Altered Life from Bloodforge to calculate HP based on Wisdom.

Ha.
Psionics "is" Broken.

It's right for once.
No need for errata, people can't be that  fubar'd.

Methods to increase max health, just as an obvious improver ?
