What about Flagstaff? Or is that even really part of Arizona?

Flagstaff is to Phoenix what the University District is to Tucson.

This is truth.

You'll never know how that happened, same as I won't ever know how Dom broke both legs using the toaster.

And you know what?  I don't want to know.  I'm perfectly happy living in sheer ignorance on subjects like this.  It's more pleasant that way, you know...If you don't look directly at the stupid, it can't damage your brain.

It's not even like he just fractured them, it was a CLEAN BREAK. Well, two. You know what I mean...

Cannot fathom it.

One of my old cabal mates from Hawaii, Grog the Unkindly, lives right outside of Pheonix.

True-fact: there are only 4 parts of Arizona: Tucson, Phoenix, Grand Canyon, and bum-fuck nowhere. "Phoenix" is actually a metropolis of four large cities, all crammed together. The greater Phoenix area owns all the land between there and Casa Grande (the outskirts of Tucson, Point of No Return.) 

The Grand Canyon has been built around quite a bit, seeing as it is a tourist attraction, and is its own place. Most of the snowbirds that are just vacationing and don't actually have a second home here (I shit you not) go here.

There's Tucson, which everyone knows is The Holy City of She What Done It All, and would you believe its relatively tiny? only about 40 miles x 40 miles square, including Marana, South Tucson, Sahuarita (which is more part of BFN than they care to admit), and the tiny villages in the mountains.  Nobody knows how many there are, and no one cares to go check; there are stories, whispered only when the emergency response teams that responded to the last Great Burning get drunk enough to let it out.

Lastly there is bum-fuck N O W H E R E.  This is interesting, because there are miles and miles of living land (though you lot from where there is too much nature wouldn't recognize it) covered in miles and miles of dying highway, and if you blink at the wrong time, you'll miss the last gas station for 100 miles with no way to turn around.  Aside from that, there are tons of dirt roads that will lead you to nowhere (the kind that calls to the City's inhabitants from times to time), and occasional historic towns tucked away here and there. There are no NEW towns, and there haven't been for at least a hundred years.  There's a kind of furtive quietness about all of these towns, hoping against hope that one of the Big Three won't swallow them up and steal their children and their souls.

What about the bit about stacking?

Also, casting, moving up, then attacking would take care of the AOO.

Sure. The only way to cast and attack in the same turn that I can think of is the Havoc Mage Prestige class from the 3.5 Miniatures book. It's a five level PRC which has a special ability called Battlecast. Battlecast gives you the ability to cast and attack in the same round (2nd level spells at 1st, 4th level spells at 3rd and 8th level spells at 5th).

My current character is a Warmage/Fighter that is gonna go Havoc Mage if I live long enough ;-) (Cause True Strike and attack six rounds a day is pretty sweet at 7th level, while fighting on the defensive and using Combat Expertise to buff AC)



In Pathfinder, which is what I'm running, the only class that allows you to cast and attack with a weapon in the same round is the Magus. It's a fighter/wizard base class, only learn up to level 6 spells, and only a select few, and you learn them like a wizard does, preparing them at daybreak out of a spellbook.

Various special abilities include spellcasting while wearing armor proficiency (though only with the Mag7us spell list, so if you took Wiz or Sorc, you would still have the spell failure chance), channeling spells through your sword, dual wielding a sword/wand, or even two wands at once. :banana:

Well, I got a good look at the rules. Delivering a touch attack does not provoke AOO, whether or not you are proficient with unarmed strikes.

That's one of the little girls on Toddlers and Tiaras, isn't it? Poor thing. :(

Okay, let's say a creature has a natural claw attack, and then takes cleric levels. The domain (or domains) in question have touch attack abilities. Do the touch attacks provoke attacks of opportunity, or, since the claw attack is a part of the creature, does it effectively have Improved Unarmed Strike?

Also, and I think the answer may be "no," does the touch attack ability and the claw attack stack/can be rolled at the same time/whatever?

I believe all creatures with natural weapons are considered to have improved unarmed strike and can attack without provoking an AOO. However, they would need to succeed in a concentration check to cast.... I think.

Why a concentration check?

Because casting ALWAYS provokes an AOO.

For some reason, your pics are 1x1 pixel. That's probably why I can't see them.

What I find interesting is that no one has yet picked "I just don't give a shit".

Discordians tend to give a shit.  What they give that shit for is usually wildly inappropriate, but still, shit is given.

Inappropriate or not, it's still better than apathy. :)
