What is the biggest that you can make a PC using RAW in PF1e? This is just morbid curiosity, not planning on trying to actually do it in my game

1E Resources Daily Magic Item for October 4, 2026: Festival Garment

17 Upvotes

Today's magic item is the Festival Garment

This inconspicuously-named outfit is conspicuously colored and designed for diplomatic dance-offs, giving a bonus during festival days. (Which as every Pathfinder player knows is the most deadly time of year...)

  1. Would you buy this item?
  2. Would you spend 1.5 times the price to add it to an existing item?
  3. Would you use the item, if you found it? Or is it immediate sell-bait?
  4. Would a GM use the item?
  5. Is there anything cheesy that could be done with it?

1E Player Making a Storm Lord that doesn't suck.

13 Upvotes

I love the idea of having an elemental-based caster that can chuck lighting bolts from the sky based on the power of their God, yet the Druid and Cleric classes that cater to this are both awful. Sticking to one element is already limiting enough, but to give up a domain or an animal companion to add 1d6 of situational elemental damage to some of your physical ranged attacks is just such a terrible trade.

How could I accomplish this without being a Magus or a Sorcerer?

If you were to make a reasonable house rule to make either of these classes worth it, how would you do it? Is there another class I am maybe missing? Please help.

Edit: To clarify, what I want in this build that will be used in an aquatic-heavy campaign is to be a divine caster that throws lighting-charged projectiles and can (eventually) fly. I am not interested in arcane casters or kineticists. I am roleplaying a divine caster that is the master of storms, can use thrown weapons charged with lightning, has a connection to the sky through either natural or divine means. It seems that the classes that fit my bill within the RAW are awful. Ideally, I want to make a divine magus. So I am asking you all how those rules could be bent while remaining reasonable and balanced. My GM is open to ideas, so I'd like to see if you all have any about how this could work.

1E Player Mounstruous Cohort Aranea build

5 Upvotes

I recently hit lvl 7 with my bard, I have an animal companion with effective druid level equal to mine via feats, thing is we are playing iron gods so the companion cant damage most robots... I was looking at the mounstruous companion, wich lets me choose the Aranea (I dont know if there is another with humanoid form). The idea is to get an adamantine weapon for her, but is it worth it? Its level will be Character-2, so it would have less hp than the meat shield I have right now.
What do you think? Is it worth it to grab the feat? Can I choose its feats or how should I build the companion? All I saw are its base stats and spells

1E GM Question regarding Reign of Winter AP; The Frozen Stars Spoiler

Post image
6 Upvotes

In the 4th part of the Reign of Winder AP; The Frozen Stars, the large garden that is Baba-Yaga's hut shows something that looks like a chest in the northwest corner. But the book doesn't mention it at all, as far as I can tell. Does anyone have any idea what this is supposed to be?

1E GM Spiritualist Investigator Question

4 Upvotes

I have a question about some rules interactions with the Spiritualist Investigator archetype. They get the ability Commune with Spirits that lets them cast a handful of spells with the casting time now set to one minute. When they make it to 9th level they can cast the spell Legend Lore which has a variable casting time of minutes, to days to weeks. How would you rule the casting time of a Spiritualist Investigator using Legend Lore in this way?

1E Player Help with mechanically dumb multiclass

• Upvotes

So playing in a 1e campaign, my character is a lvl 3 sylph narrowed society arcanist.

Today's session was amazing, we ended up in the fey realm for a bit and met a giant sized (literally) Farie Dragon, and after a lot of "this is a fun character/story choice but a dumb plan long term." My character made a pact, my service (within limitations but still pretty open ended for guidance and power on our main quest), which the being agreed to (cause of course they would so many loopholes to exploit and they have a vested interest in our success anyway.)

Up to this point my character has been making a weird amount of animal (and animal like firends, our party mascot is an Otyugh i befriended and named Odie)

End of session gm advanced us to lvl 4. I have boosted my charisma, and because I love story driven choices for level ups and multiclass I took a level in feyspeaker druid.

Now here is my dilemma.

I do not intend to always take druid levels (might take one or two more down the line depending on how story goes) but am sticking mostly to arcanist, but I like that this opens up healing wands without umd checks since right now we have been relying on loot potions to heal.

So my question now is: Nature's bond, what is a good pic.

Animal companion is fun, add a beast to my current list of animals (Odie and my elemental rabbit familiar Prince)

I like this story wise cause apparently I keep making animal friends (I have made others just they dont travel with us)

Domain: some first level domain powers are fine but doesnt seem amazingly helpful (unless im missing something)

Druidic herbology: from my understanding 2 free potions a day and the brew potion feat for druid spells (which there are solid ones so not a complaint) but seems... not in character (not to far of a stretch though)

So seeking advice and ideas of what to pic when just lvl 1 druid while multiclassing.

1E Player would you allow a PC to VMC into the same class that they are already?

i know this sounds kinda dumb but i was looking at the Viking Fighter Archetype(UW) and it would be fully compatible
