That's probably how I'm going to go about things.
The only downside I can see is how Improved Damage / Improved Bite stack. Since the T-Rex has a higher than normal base die on its Bite, you could stack both of those for a 3d6 attack at first level. I'll encourage the player to have a bit more fun with the options instead and that should keep things a bit more balanced.
I'm about to GM a game where one of my players will have a Primal Companion Hunter with a T-Rex. That's a pretty powerful baseline, but I want to clarify just how his evolution choices will interact with the base-line abilities of his animal companion.
My current question is, do the features that an Animal Companion has naturally qualify it for evolutions which rely on specific features?
As an example, the T-Rex has a pretty big tail already, does this qualify it for Tail Slap? Or would you have to pick up the Tail Evolution first, growing a second tail and then only get Tail Slap with that one?
I'm inclined to rule that each Animal Companion has a reasonable number of evolutions already, based on the physical form of the animal. I'm just curious if there is any official clarification on how this should work.
Divination: Entrails
This might draw the ire of animal rights activists, but there is quite a lot of historical context for it both in the real world and in literature.
@williamoak - Anybody with those kind of problems handling fantasy shouldn't be immersing themselves in role playing, imo. That would just generally be dangerous.
@OP - Coming from a Southern Baptist background, with a GM who is quite devout I can understand that some players will have a problem with polytheistic faiths and especially playing characters that are devoted to such deities. Since we don't have specifics from your group and you want to respect their privacy I'll share some ways people I know have dealt with these issues. I would be curious to know how they plan to deal with all the magic and violence in the game however.
First, just avoiding a few specific classes can work pretty well. Clerics and Warpriests in particular can be a problem, but an Oracle or a Paladin could easily receive their powers from a vague "divine being" or "force of good" and don't have to have aspects of worship worked in.
Second, create a custom setting. My devout GM created his own campaign world with a generic fantasy analog of Catholicism. Instead of picking a deity you pick a branch of the church each granting access to domains and selected weapons from Fighter weapon groups. You could also move to a fictional setting that is more acceptable, such as Narnia (for Christians) or even set the game in the real world.
Finally, you may want to try an entirely different game system. Polytheism and wars between gods is a pretty standard trope in fantasy settings and Pathfinder is very much designed with fantasy in mind. You might have more fun in a modern-day or sci-fi setting, Shadow Run games can be a blast for instance.
I just put together a level 7 Mesmerist for a playtest I'm going to run so here's my feedback.
The class as a whole is going to be very limited against creatures that are immune to mind affecting effects. Unless you know going in that you won't be facing many of those creatures, Psychic Inception becomes pretty mandatory. I almost feel that that ability should be baked into the class.
The list of spells that can be used are nice. I like having a mix of all the Bard, Inquisitor & Witch spells.
Hypnotic Stare could probably stand to have slightly better numeric progression and definitely needs more options. Still, the fact that you can use this ability at will and that there is no save does make it a nice minor debuff to constantly play around with.
Tricks I'm not terribly impressed with. Some of the tricks are decent buffs, but I have to wonder why I have 3 separate ways to let a Rogue get sneak attack damage in? I have to be in melee range to reapply those buffs mid-combat, so why wouldn't I just flank? I feel like I should be able to apply these buffs at range some how.
I also think there should be some tricks I could actively use against the enemy. This class isn't going to be a Combat Manuever powerhouse, but how about some tricks with similar effects that bypass the CMB checks?
Mark, while you're here, how does Weapon Focus (and similar feats) work with Kinetic Blade?
Do I have to pick WF: Kinetic Blade, WF: Kinetic Blast or WF: Kinetic Whip separately? Or could I just grab WF: Kinetic Blast and the bonus transfers over to the blade attack?

So I was looking at the Kinetist in general and Burn specifically, and I was wondering how burn would interact with damage reduction, specifically an invulnerable rager's damage reduction which gives non-lethal DR.
As so:
"A kineticist incapable of suffering nonlethal damage cannot accept burn"

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of Minecraft / Yoggscast. The Move Earth talent letting you move literal cubes of the world around kinda inspired the character.
I mean, who the hell do you think I am?
And as a final edit I leave you with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFL7sn4dy-4
1 Nonlethal / Level per Burn
Total Burn = Con Mod + 3
I've decided to give a dedicated melee build a try just to see how this works out. It looks like damage recistances are the biggest obstacle this buld would face, so I'll be going with a "Metal" build down the road to combat this. I present you with:
Simon the Diggy Diggy Geokinetic
Race: Dwarf
Element: Earth (Earth Blast)
Talents / Class Features:
Level 1:
Level 3:
HP: 33 (30 Effective)
Level 5:
HP: 53 (48 Effective)
So for the first 5 levels I'm basiclly playing a switch-hitting Fighter or Ranger. I benefit from only having to worry about 2 Attribute Scores and could min-max to a greater extent if I wwant to. I am finding the lack of utility options kind of dull though. This will get a bit better as I level, and infact I'm planning on grabbing Move Earth at level 6 to keep the Minecraft theme going on. With that ability and the right Craft skill I don't see why I couldn't be building a really nice fortress for my party in fact.
Feedback wise, I really want 4 skills per level baseline. I'm also finding the list of Talents to choose during the first few levels to be a bit dull. I'd like to see 1-2 utility options per element and a couple of universal talents to choose from. I think there's plenty of 0th or 1st level spells we could mine for basic options.
I have a rules question to ask, as it'll affect all Kinetic Blade builds. Do feats / abilties / ect that affect Kinetic Blast transfer to Kinetic Blade? For example, would I need to pick up Weapon Focus: Kinetic Blast or Weapon Focus: Kinetic Blade at level 5 with this build?
Btw, I'm going to plan out some party based test scenarios this weekend with Simon here. I'm thinking a party consiting of an Investigator, an Oradin and a Bard might be fun to play with.
I'm assuming feats like Slashing/Fencing Grace, Dervish Dance or Piranha Strike will work with with Kinetic Blade. Will Kinetic Fist receive some support through a monk-like archetype? That'd be really awesome.
Could we clarify that Kinetic Blade/Fist/Whip are free actions made a part of an attack action?
I'm assuming that Kinetic Fist attacks would benefit from an Amulet of Might Fists. With that in mind, how about a custom Kineticist item with the some cost progression that lets you boost your offensive abilities?
Finally, I'd really like to see the 'Other Wild Talents' section expanded on. The class has plenty of offensive options but could use a few more utility abilities. Something that would be really cool would be a Prestidigitation equivalent for Kineticists.
I'd go with an alchemist of some kind. This nets you buff & utility Extracts, Mutagens to stack with your Rage, additional skill utility and a better Reflex save. You also have the choice of running with bombs or sneak attack dice.
Overall a nice offensive boost and it nets you additional utility options.

Boon companion is 3 levels. It makes you count as a 4th level druid if you take with at 4th level as Ranger which you can't as you don't get a feat a 4th level. I think that's why people think it gives you 4 levels, they forget that 4th level is 1 druid level when they grab the feat at 5th level.
Um... that's not how the feat works. It makes the abilities of your companion/familiar count as if you were 4 levels higher, to a maximum effective Druid level equal to your Character level. The boost can vary from 1-4, depending on how many Druid levels you lack.
You're starting at level 3, so use your Magus Arcana to pick up a Familiar. That lets you free up your class choices quite well.
Swashbuckler (Inspired Blade) - You gain Weapon Finesse and Weapon Focus with a Rapier, use Int and Cha for calculating your Panache Pool and can pick up the Fencing Grace feat for Dex to Damage right at level 1. Full BAB, lots of bonus damage and a large number of situational abilities you'll actually have a large enough Panache pool to use. This is a very strong option. Oh, at level 11 you can spend a Panache point to add your Int as an Insight bonus on an attack roll.
Alchemist - Bombs if you want to switch hit, Vivisectionist if you just want to deal tons of damage. The Mutagen & Extracts can be used for buffs, letting you use your spells purely for damage.
Investigator - Less extra damage than an Alchemist, but you'll rule those skill checks. The damage options available to an Alchemist are still rather nice. Empiricist grants you some nice resistance to Illusion magic.
Slayer - Full BAB, some sneak attack and tons of bonus damage sources. Decent Int synergy too.
I've been playing a combat focused in a home-brew game and it has worked out really well. The general role you'll play is striker, but with Extracts and Mutagens you'll wind up being quite tough at higher levels.
I highly recommend races which grant additional weapon proficiencies. Both Elf and Half Elf are great choices, though I prefer Half-Elf with a Strength build.
Getting Kirin Strike by level 9 is a great way to boost your damage significantly, and is also quite thematic. Note that his requires Improved Unarmed Strike by level 5 and then Kirin Style at level 7. Taking round 1 of combat to drink a buff, activate your Studied Combat and then make your Kirin Style roll will suddenly turn you into a powerhouse.
I prefer Strength builds over Dexterity builds as you don't have to pay a feat tax. Strength builds will have higher damage, but will be a bit more fragile. Dexterity builds can wind up with rather nice AC scores early on along with nice Acrobatics checks if you're going to move in combat a lot.
If you do go with a Dexterity build, a 1 level dip into Swashbuckler can get you Dex to Damage at first level. Humans Swashbuclkers can pick up Weapon Focus and Slashing Grace at first level. Alternatively, the Inspired Blade archetype grants you Weapon Finesse (Rapier) and Weapon Focus (Rapier) right at first level, allowing you to pick up Fencing Grace at first level for your Dex to Damage.
Actually, that might make me rethink my Strength preference. The Inspired Blade gets a Panache pool made up of his Cha Mod (minimum 1) and his Int Mod (Minimum 1). This means you could dump your Charisma to 7 and still wind up with a nice sized Panache pool. This build delays Studied Combat until level 5 for a huge boost in combat potential...
Well I'm glad I still have a level 1 Tiefling who's only seen one session of play. That means I can rebuild him if I ever want to use him in the future.
Personally, I'd love to play my Kitsune Dawnflower Dervish bard that focuses on using the Realistic Likeness feat. The home brew game I was running her in was canceled due to scheduling conflicts but the character was great.
The Grenadier Alchemist can get off one shot that adds bomb damage to the attack. This gives bonus elemental damage, Int damage and possibly some status debuffs. You also get some splash damage on additional enemies. Probably still less damage than optimized Longbow builds, but it isn't a bad build overall.
Look into playing a race that gets bonus bomb damage as a favored class bonus (Half-Orc being the easiest option). Popping a Targeted Bomb Admixture will double the Int damage on single target fights. Since you only need Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot and Deadly Aim from the ranged feats you can also go down the Improved Unarmed Damage > Kirin Style > Kirin Strike damage for another x2 Int damage. Pop on Bracers of Falcon's Aim and you'll have a 19-20 x3 crit range.
I believe the Distance property only doubles the base range. Distance + Long Shot nets you a 50ft range, not a 60ft Range. Some of those archetype bonuses actually increase the base range though, so a doubled pistol would be 60ft with one of those.
A dip into Spellslinger would get you Distance at early levels, though with the Alchemist being a fairly tough class I think you may be over emphasizing staying far back. Just remember that it's 1 min per spell slot, so you'll want to pick up some Pearls of Power to feed this.
Siege Gunner for a few uses of Gunslinger's Dodge is ok but not great. Personally, I'd go Gun Scavenger.
So Explosive Missile is poorly written and really needs an Eratta, but note that it specifies "one-handed firearm bullet". There is no such thing as separate bullets for one-handed or two-handed firearms in PF, so you could probably RAW your way into using a Musket with the ability. RAI, you're stuck with pistol of some sort.
LessPopMoreFizz, the first thing you should do is establish how common guns are (according to the rules scale) as that will determine your course of action. For instance, under the Common Place Guns rules firearms are Martial weapons and you could be proficient with one using the Martial Weapon Proficiency you gain at your first level of Grenadier. I'm going to assume you're working under Emerging Guns rules as that seems to be the most commonly used rule set.
In this case, I highly recommend a single level of gunslinger followed by pure Alchemist. This nets you a bit of bonus HP, a boost to your saves, a boost to your BAB and the ability to use guns with relative ease. You'll gain Explosive Missile at level 5.
You are restricted to a one-handed gun, so start off with a Pistol. Plan to craft a Revolver as soon as you can (2 day process, 2k gold cost) as you'll resolve touch attacks within 100 feet at that point.
Range Increments can be increased as follows:
Since you don't want to play a Gnome, I suggest you go Half-Orc with your first level in Gun Scavenger. Unless you have a generous Point Buy I wouldn't bother with a high Wisdom score. Instead plan on having just 1 Grit point until you reach level 5-7 at which point the Extra Grit feat is a decent option.
Gun Scavenger can be pretty fun, as you have the option of swapping between your Pistol having extra range or having the Scatter property. That can be pretty nice at early levels.
There are very few abilities and very few builds that provide traditional MMO tanking mechanics. What you need to look for are ways to be the biggest threat, attracting the notice of enemies.
The first step is make sure you do a large amount of damage. The idea is that you're the most threatening target so the enemies will focus on you first. As others have suggested, spells that increase your physical size are a good idea too (both for the damage boost and the intimidation factor).
I would also suggest looking at the Sacred Shield archetype. This replaces Smite Evil with an ability that halves the damage nearby allies take from big targets. Not only are you actually protecting allies, you're making yourself the most appealing target to your enemy.
I'm playing in a Final Fantasy themed game and need to find some miniatures that will work for an Adamantoise as an Animal Companion. I've been looking at a ton of options and it looks like I'll have to do some customization no matter what, but I'm hoping I can find a decent base.
I've been looking at various Anklyosaurus & Glyptodon minis but if you know of a mini you really like please share! I'm looking for Medium & Large sized models.
Vorpaljesus, a Lunar Oracle looks amazing! Lower BAB, but if I pick up the Catfolk Exemplar feat I can use Gift of Claw and Horn to add a Gore Attack. Gore, Bite and Claw x2 seems like a pretty good combo if I go with a Natural attack build.
This nets me a decent AC, 4 attacks per rounds, some healing & buffing spells and an animal companion.
Mount with something other than a Horse would work fine. After all, this is FF so we'd have Chocobos (Axebeak stats?).
Thanks for the ideas guys! I'm looking at various options and should come up with something good.
Hi all,
I'm going to be playing in a new game soon where the party may only be 3 people. The other players are going for a Sorcerer and a Rogue, so I figured I should have a front liner planned out in case we don't pick up any more players. I'm just having a tough time deciding what to pick up.
Campaign Specific Info:
The game will be Final Fantasy themed, set in Spira (FFX). We're using a 15 point buy, but pretty much any source book that's already published is allowed. The only restrictions are to avoid anything that doesn't mesh with the theme of the game.
I'm thinking of playing a Ronso which have the follow racial attributes:
Note: I can pick up Catfolk specific feats & gear with a Ronso.
With the small party, I'm debating whether I should just go for a Barbarian build and just wreck things, or if I should go for a martial character with an animal companion.
I'd appreciate any thoughts y'all have.
The animal domain might be fun. You could ignore optimization and grab another Frog that way.
So when I built my Bladebound Kensai I was tired of all the Dervish Dance builds, so I went for a Strength-based character. It was a little fragile at first level, but wound up being highly effective.
Human: Str 17, Dex 14, Con 12, Int 16, Wis 10, Cha 7.
That foundation nets you high damage at all levels, and the damage will just keep scaling up. The Nemesis story feat will allow you to pick up both an Extra HP and a 1/4 or an Arcane Point each level. It can also potentially net you another +2 to Strength at some point in the story.
2-Handed Arcane Strike Power Attacks will be quite powerful when you can deliver them and by level 5 you'll be able to add Keen to your sword for free, allowing for a good number of crits.
The first couple of levels will be rough due to your low AC. I recommend buying either potions of Mage Armor or a 10 charge wand of Mage Armor. Picking up Mage Armor through an Arcana at level 6 is recommended.
Early gear purchases should be level 1 Pearls of Power and you should plan on grabbing some level 2 Pearls at higher levels. This gives you quite a lot of spells to cast each day.
Cape of Free Will - Similar to Cloaks of Resistance, but the Will Save is doubled while the item price is increased by about 50%.
Headband of Wisdom +4 - Totals a +2 Will save.
Potion of Heroism - Temporary bonus, but possibly useful in a fight.
A Bladebound Kensai will work just fine with a Strength build and a Katana. I'm playing one right now and it does a great job at dealing damage, while being fragile enough that my GM doesn't complain about me being too powerful.
You're going to have a low AC at first, so some means of gaining Mage Armor is really required. Picking up the spell at level 6 with an arcana is a great idea.
The Dervish Dance Scimitar build is the most optimized build btw, giving you good AC and adequate damage. It's just so common that I find it rather boring.
This is actually the group's second Zelda campaign, and it's been a blast. We've had several dungeon crawls even with the party just at level 4, and just wrapped up a major battle outside of a fort. An army of Darknuts and Stalfos makes for a tough fight.
I'll get the piece ordered (probably 2 of him so I can swap a foot) and see how he turns out. Thanks guys!
Thanks for the suggestions guys, these are pretty good. Ivan's is about the closest to what I'd imagine for the character and a foot replacement should be easy.
I'm really glad I'm not the only person with this idea.
So I'm playing in a Legends of Zelda inspired game, and I over-optimized a bit on my first character. I've swapped him out for a new character who is much more fun and fits the level of optimization of the party better, but I'm really having trouble find a good miniature to even use as a foundation for a mod job.
So, anybody have suggestions for a Gorron Monk, themed after Hulk Hogan? =D
Keep in mind, Gorrons are large, sumo wrestler sized guys that kinda look like they are made out of stone. They also have no females, so they call everybody they meet "Brother". I'm trying to find a bug bulky guy with a face that would be easy to add Hogan's mustache on to.
That's the sentence I would assume should be removed as well, but following the instructions provided skips past that one.
So the Errata states: "Page 51—In the Pistolero archetype, in the Deeds class feature, in the Up Close and Deadly deed, delete the
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that be "This is precision damage and is not multiplied if the attack is a critical hit."
If so this would be a really odd change. The very next sentence specifically refers to "This precision damage" as does the one after that.
Cheating among players should be unacceptable. You're playing a cooperative game and should be able to handle the fact that sometimes you'll fail. If you're not mature enough to handle that fact, then honestly I would suggest playing a different game.
Now I do hold GMs to a slightly different standard. GMs should be rolling behind a screen and should the choice of occasionally fudging their die rolls. Sometimes you're rolling consistently bad and the big boss fight requires that you fake your numbers just to make sure the fight is fun for your players. Sometimes you roll insanely well, but don't want to kill off a character a player is really invested in due to a lucky crit with a Power Attacking Scythe.
The feat is "best" used for giving some blasting options to non-blaster casters, such as the Summoner or Bard. Even then, those classes usually have better options.
For a Sorcerer, you're better of just using your normal blasting spells as their damage will scale higher. This is especially true if you use a Bloodline that boosts your damage further.
I honestly wouldn't focus on combat much at all if you're stuck with those rolls and can't finagle an Agile weapon. Two levels of Paladin would help you with saves and heavier armor, but I wouldn't pick up any more unless your GM decides to allow Archetypes. The Oradin build assumes they'll be available. That being said, definitely go with 4 levels of Oracle to start out with, you'll be much more effective that way.
If you go with Weapon Finesse you'll have to pick up a decent Agile weapon. Note that as a Kitsune you could have profficiency with an Elven Curve Blade at level 4, which is a pretty nice combat option.
You may be better off using spell slots for those occasional times you need to do something offensive though. Up to you.
Healing is going to involve putting Life Link on the entire party and healing damage you take personally. A Wand of Cure Light Wounds is a must buy with your starting cash, you'll burn through it most likely. Drop Life Link and use Channel Energy when your HP gets low.
Personally, I would rather opt for using Disarm against players rather than try to Sunder their weapons. You get the same kind of intent, but without permanent loss of a martial character's main investment.
If you are going to use Sunder, provide a means for eventual restoration or replacement of the destroyed items that doesn't have an impact on WBL.
How about using a coin, that looks like a common silver or gold piece. This would allow the intelligent item to be passed around, until it makes its way into the hands of somebody it wants to dominate. It's a common enough item that nobody is going to think twice about it, and is easy to hide (the party finds a stash of silver coins worth yadda yadda yadda).
I have a few questions before I get started.
1) Are you using a 20 point buy and would you be willing to switch up the stat block? A Str: 13 Dex: 16 Con: 13 Int: 12 Wis: 8 Cha: 16 would work out a bit better, with the your level 4 boost going into Con. An Oradin build really wants more HP to power the Life Link ability, 14 Con is really the minimum.
2) Could you convince your GM to give you a +1 Agile weapon instead? If so, an Agile weapon along with Power Attack would give you decent damage as you level up with only 1 feat invested in offence.
3) Is the no archetype ruling a personal preference or a GM ruling? The Oradin build can really benefit from using archetypes in your Paladin levels.
Are you thinking magic or mundane?
On the mundane front, Gunslingers are always a good option.
I think the only really problematic questions on the survey where the ones asking you to compare the classes to other classes. The idea of rating power & effectiveness of one class to all others. It's just really hard to compare something like the swashbuckler to both a Wizard and a Fighter at the same time. The rest of the questions were pretty easy to answer.
The amount of time the developers spent on the forums, actually responding to everybody, was pretty impressive. It's very rare to see that level of interaction from any game company, and it was pretty similar to the kind of interaction I expect out of Blizzard. Well done overall.
I think many of us would have liked additional time to play test the second document. I've got a 5 class play test I'm still working on (Investigator, Warpriest, Shaman, Arcanist and Hunter) but I just didn't have time to get everything typed up and participate in the forum conversations. It might be beneficial to maintain a forum specifically for playtest posts (no discussion, just post your on-going playtests).
I'd like to second Oceanshieldwolf's desire to see more than one developer in each thread. I'm guessing y'all divided up the work a fair bit, but I do think that some of the combativeness that cropped up in some threads could have been lessened with more voices in the discussion. Keeping in mind of course that this is the internet, so somebody is always going to be unhappy.
On the whole though, it was fun and I'm looking forward to buying the book in August. And hey, this'll be one where I actually buy the hardcover ;).

+1 on this comment.
Besides, if the issue is allowing a Warpriest to effectively use Diplomacy then that could easily be handled with a trait similar to Bruising Intellect.
Since this is the last opportunity, I'd like to repeat my comments.
1) I really like the core mechanics for the class. Spirits feel like they're similar to parent class features but are different enough to be something new and interesting.
Stephen Radney-MacFarland wrote:
Good one! I've updated all my surveys but I just want to say I absolutely can't wait to play an Investigator. I think this is one of the better built classes at the moment and really just needs some additional polish. August can't come soon enough.

I don't really buy the idea of balancing a class with MADness. That was attempted with the Monk class back in 3.5 and it rendered the class largely ineffective. The base game mechanics just don't treat a class that has to spread points out so much well. The class needs a dump stat, and since it is designed as a martial class that really only leaves us with Wisdom or Charisma as options.
You see Charisma as the most common dump stat largely because it is a relatively "weak" stat on its own. If the "min 1" rule applies to fervor per day, I already see many Warpriests dumping Cha and ignoring their Channel Energy ability anyway.
Tels wrote:
These are very valid points. Low HP coupled with a d8 hit die is actually the biggest weakness of the class when engaged in melee and isn't something to take likely.
I ran a bunch of level 9 builds with full WBL, and while the Str builds do more damage (particularly the Kirin Strike build), the Dex builds aren't terribly far behind so long as you can get Dex to damage. Really either build is viable and the one should use comes down to party makeup and personal preference.
So I promised some Lvl 1 builds, here you go:
Maneuver Focus:
Race: Human
Str: 16 Dex: 14 Con: 14 Int: 15 Wis: 10 Cha: 8
Traits: Bruising Intellect, Threatening Defender
Feats: Combat Expertise, Improved Trip
Suggested Extracts: Shield, Enlarge Person
Gear: Longspear, Lamellar (Leather) Armor
Melee: +3 1d8+4 x3, +5 CMB on Trips
Tactics: Hang back with your reach weapon for easier flanking and trip enemies whenever possible. Use Shield Exracts to boost your AC to 21 or Enlarge Humanoid to make sure your trip attempts land.
Race: Half Elf
Alternate Racial Trait: Ancestral Arms (Greatsword)
Str: 16 Dex: 14 Con: 14 Int: 15 Wis: 10 Cha: 8
Traits: Reactionary, Failed Apprentice
Feats: Improved Unarmed Strike
Suggested Extracts: Shield, Cure Light Wounds
Gear: Greatsword, Lamellar (Leather) Armor
Melee: +3 2d6+4 19-20 x2
Tactics: Drink the Shield Extract ASAP and just charge in with your +5 attack bonus and an 18 AC.
Dex Build:
Race: Elf
Str: 14 Dex: 18 Con: 12 Int: 14 Wis: 12 Cha: 7
Traits: Reactionary, Bruising Intellect
Feats: Weapon Finesse
Suggested Extracts: Shock Shield
Gear: Rapier, Chain Shirt
Melee: +4 1d6+2 18-20 x2
Tactics: You'll be dealing less damage than a Strength build, by you've got a better chance to hit and crit along with a very nice AC bonus. I like using Shock Shield with this build as a way to deliver some AOE damage.
Either of these three builds will work in combat at first level and you won't be terrible. Like most 3/4 BAB classes you'll want a flanking partner and you can't expect to be doing the same damage as a Fighter or a Barbarian. And to be honest, you'll probably be a little bit behind the Rogue at levels 1 and 2.
Starting at level 3 though, you can start abusing Mutagens and shouldn't be lagging behind anybody. At level 4 you'll have 2 Extracts a day to boost your Dex or Str along with that Mutagen and with Studied Strike will have the attack bonuses of a full BAB class.
Considering the other class features that you gain, I think the class on the whole works well. My primary gripes are that the class is rather feat starved, particularly so at the early levels.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Day parole given to man who killed boss at Grace
Release hinges on strict conditions to cut risk to society
HE committed one of Winnipeg's worst acts of workplace violence and was given a life sentence with no guarantee of release.
But a former Grace Hospital employee who stabbed his boss to death in front of several colleagues has recently returned to the community after spending 14 years behind bars, documents obtained by the Free Press show.
Stephen Underwood, 60, has spent the past few months free on day parole with stringent conditions meant to reduce his risk to society. They include abstaining from drugs and alcohol -- which played a vital role in the attack -- and continuing psychological counselling for ongoing mental-health concerns. Each night, Underwood must also report to a halfway house in the city.
"The board concluded that you had come to understand what drove you to commit your extreme act of violence. Through programs, counselling, self-reflection and maturity, you gained insight into your contributing factors and demonstrated a willingness to continue dealing with your areas of concern," the parole board wrote in a November 2012 decision obtained this week.
Underwood pleaded guilty to manslaughter for the deadly May 1998 attack inside the crowded hospital. He was originally charged with first-degree murder, but the Crown agreed to a lesser plea after mental-health assessments found him fit to stand trial but disturbed enough to raise questions about his intent.
Underwood was given a rare life sentence with no chance of parole for at least 10 years. However, federal officials are under no requirement to release him at any time.
Bill Larson, the Grace Hospital's manager of human resources who had tried to fire Underwood earlier in the day, was stabbed 13 times while he pleaded for his life.
"His final words were 'No, Stephen, no,' " Crown attorney Sheila Leinburd told court at the time. Underwood responded by saying "This won't take long" as he clutched a large hunting knife.
"He was very intent on what he was doing. He was a man on a mission," Leinburd said during Underwood's sentencing. Underwood walked away, placed the knife in its sheath and handed it to a hospital doctor while waiting for police.
Now, Underwood's mission is to get his life back on track, according to the parole board. Underwood has found a job and enjoys support from his wife and children. The parole board previously turned down bids from Underwood to be released between 2008 and 2012 but changed its decision last year when he began showing significant progress, including a much broader understanding of his crime and the damage he caused to Larson's family.
"It is evident that you are using program skills and community supports to assist in managing your risk," the parole board wrote.
Larson had tried to play peacemaker with Underwood hours before the attack. The disgruntled employee had refused to undergo a psychiatric evaluation as a condition of his employment after hospital officials grew concerned about his attitude and relationship with other employees, court was told.
Larson had decided to fire Underwood, but the man became enraged with his union representative and started choking him. Larson broke up the fight and Underwood vented his anger toward his boss, blaming him for the troubles. Underwood left and Larson returned to his office but remained "nervous."
His fears were realized hours later when Underwood returned and attacked him while co-workers watched in horror.
Larson left behind a wife and three grown sons.
Following the killing, defence lawyer Saul Simmonds blamed the Grace Hospital, Underwood's union and medical officials for a complete "system failure," which he believes caused his client's deadly attack.
"This case is a blueprint for disaster," said Simmonds, noting his client had a wife and young daughter and was a loving family man before the tragedy. "He was not some sort of dangerous animal," he said.
He said Underwood had previously been diagnosed as suffering from social phobia and paranoia but required more substantial help than he was given. He said the hospital and union officials only compounded his problems by making him feel like an outcast at work, and said psychiatrists and a psychologist he was seeing failed to get him the treatment he required.

Anotherobject of the inventionis to provide novel means for adjusting orient the valve springs. A further object of the-invention is to sup-'- my novel means whereby the pressure in the tire may be varied, at the will of an operator.-
It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the invention appertains. a v
-With the above and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in thecombination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in'the precise embodiment 'of' the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawing:
, Fig.1 shows in longitudinalsection, a device constructed in accordance with the some parts being in elevation;
V invention,
Fig. 2 is a plan of the structure shown in Fig. 1; Fig.3 is a rear end elevation;
I Fig. 4 is a fragmental transverse section showing one parts;
Fig. 5 is an elevation showing one of the adot the cylinder heads and attendant justing devices for one of the springs;
Fig; 6 is an elevation showing another of the adjusting devices for the springl'ast above mentioned.
For convenience in locating the parts of the device, relatively to each other, that'end of the.
structure to which the reference character Aiis applied in Fig; 1 will be considered the forward end.
.The article comprises a body 'I, supplied at its \forward-end with an air inlet nipple, 2, adapted to be connected to a tank or other source of fluid. pressure supply (not shown). The air inlet nipple 2 has a longitudinal bore 8, communicating BIS a flattened, inwardly prolonged projection 8,
shown in Fig. 4. The cylinder 4 is closed atf its opposite end by a head I, threaded into the I.
A rod or operating member 8 slides in the head 1 and is accessible at its outerend, the outer end of the member-8 carrying a push button 9 'Near to its outer end, the'rod; 8 is provided with a shoulder 48. A firstpiston valve In slides in the 5 cylinder 4 and is secured to the rod 8. The inner portion of the piston valve I8 is adapted to close the bore 3 of the air inlet nipple 2. The inner end of the rod 8 of the piston valve III has a slot I I (Fig. 4) receivingthe projection 6 on the head 10 5. The parts II and 6 constitute interenga 'ing elements preventing a rotation 01 the piston valve III, as it slides in thecylinder 4. Near to one end, the'piston valve III has a circumferential chamber or p'ort |2.. Inwardly of the port I2, 1
the piston valve III has .a transverse port I4, which may be a circumferential groove. There is a longitudinal duct IS in the outer portion of the piston valve III, establishing communication between the chamber I2 and that part of the cyllnder4 which. lies between the outer end of the piston I II and the head I. Theshoulder 48 on the piston rod 8 is held in engagement with the head I by a compression spring I6,'interpose'd between the piston III and the head 5, the inner. portion of 28 -the piston valve III closing the bore 8 of the air inlet nipple], and the outer end of, the piston valve being spaced from the head I. In the rear edge of the inner part of the piston valve III there is a notch 11.
' A first valve seat I8 is formed inthebody I, to the rear of the cylinder 4. An abutment I9 projects from the body I into the valve seat I8. A small longitudinal bore 20 connects the first valve 1 seat I8 with the cylinder 4. A lateral exhaust 85 port 2| isformed-in the body I, immediately to the rear of the cylinder 4. Both the port 2|. and
the bore 28 are so located that they communicate with the notch H in the piston III. A second valve seat 22 is formed in the body I, to therear 40 of the first valve seat I8. The valve seats 22 and I8 are connected'by an enlarged by-pass 23.
. A main transverse pressure chamber 24 is fashioned in the body I, and the'valve seat 22 communicates with the pressure chamber. A small longitudinal'passage connects the pressure chamber 24 with the cylinder 4 and opens into the chamber I2 of the piston II. The pressure chamber 24 communicates with the bore 25 of an outwardly and 'rearwardly extended nipple 26. The nipple 26 is adapted to'be connected with the tire (not shown) which is to be inflated.
' In the rear part of the body I, there is a longitudinal second cylinder 21 having-a seat 28 at its. forward end, the seat and-the cylinder 21 com- 68 municating at 29 with the main pressure chamber 24. The body 2| is supplied with a side nip- 5 is adapted to be closed by a second piston valve 32, having a tapered part 49 for engagement with the seat 28, the part 49 having a reduced end 33 that fits in the opening 29 leading to the pressure chamber 24. On its rear end, the piston valve 32 is suppliedwith a projection 34, about which, is engaged a compression spring 35, abutting at one end against the piston valve 32. The piston valve 32 carries a central longitudinal guide rod 59, providedwith an abutment 5|.
the abutment |9 on the body The relief valve 52 is adapted to enter and close the first valve seat l8 and the second valve seat22. A compression spring 53 surrounds a part of the guide rod 59. One end of the's pring 53 engages the abutment 5|, and the opposite end of the spring engages the valve 52. Thereis a stop 54 on the guide rod 59, between the abutment 5| and the valve 52.
The rear end of the spring 35 is engaged by a foot 35 on an adjusting device 31, such as a screw, having a turning head 38. The head 39 has a forwardly extended finger 39. The adjusting screw 31 is threaded into a tubular second adjusting device 49. On the outer end of the second adjusting device 49fthere is a hub 43 carrying a lateral arm 4| having 'a rearwardly extended handle 42. The finger 39 on the head 38 of the screw 31 is adapted to be engaged by the arm 4| of the second adjusting device 49.
The second adjusting device 49 is threaded into a closure 44 which, in its turn, is threaded into the body i, and is fixed therein, at the rear end of the cylinder 21. The closure 44 comprises a disk 45 which bears against the rear end of the body I. wardly extended stop 45, adapted to cooperate ,with the arm 4| on the second adjusting device 49. A circumferential low pressure scale 41 is inscribed on the rear surface of the disk 45. A circumferential high pressure scale 56 is inscribed on the rear surface of the head 39 of the adjusting screw 31.
In practical operation, if the pressure in the tire that is connected to the nipple'28 is not sufiicient to advance the first piston valve l9, that valve is advanced manually by the rod 8 and the push button 9, against the action of the spring l6, until the port H in the piston valve registers with the bore 3 of the inlet nipple 2 and with the small bore 29 of the body If, v however, there is sufiicient pressure in the tire, that pressure passes through the bore 25 of the nipple 26, through the passage ofthe body I, into the chamber l2 of the piston valve I9,, and through the duct i5, into the space between-the cylinder head 1 and the outer end of the piston valve, the piston valvebeing advanced, against A relief valve 52. slides on the guide 59 and is adapted to engage;
Thedisk 45 is provided with a rearl9. the small bore 29 of the body I, the valve the action of the spring i6, until the port |4 regseat la, the enlarged by-pass 23, the second valve seat 22, the pressure chamber 24 and the bore 25 of the nipple 25, and air passes into the tire, to inflate the same, the direction of flow of the air being reversed, because the pressure in the bore 3 isv greater than the pressure in the bore 25.
when the predetermined pressure has been at"- tained in the tire connected to the nipple 26, the pressure derived through the bore 3 of the inlet nipple 2, the port I 4 of the piston valve ID, the 10 bore 29, the seat iii, the by-pass 23, the port 22 and the chamber 24, is transmitted to the second piston valve 32, and that valve moves to the right, opening the relief port 3|. As the second piston valve 32 moves to the right, the guide rod 59 and the stop 54 thereon move to the right, and because the valve 52 no longer is backed up by the stop 54, the flowing air, acting by impact, causes the .valve 52 to slide to the right on the guide rod 59, and close the valve seat 22, the supply of fiuid pressure to the chamber 24 being cut ofi. The second valve 32 now closes to the left, responsive to the spring 35, but the valve 32 has lag enough so that, before it shuts 01f the relief port 3|, a venting action through the duct 5, the chamber |2 of the first piston [9, the passage 55, the chamber 24 and the relief port 3| takes place. The time interval is so short, and the reduction of pressure is so small considered rela- 'tively to the strength of the spring l6, that the loss of pressure in the tire connected to the nipple 26 does not amount to anything in practice. The piston valve I9, responding to the spring i6, now resumes the position of Fig. 1, and closes the fluid pressure inlet 3. As the piston valve l9 resumes the position of Fig. 1, the valve seat |8 is is vented through the bore 29, the notch l1 in the first piston valve l9, and the exhaust port 2|,
'and the valve 52 slides to the left on the guide 49, by way of the handle 42, and because the arm 50 4| on the second adjusting device 49 is in en-. gagement with the finger 39 on'the head 39 of the first adjusting device or screw 31, the screw 31 will move with the second adjusting device 49, during the aforesaid rotation thereof. If, how- 55 ever, high pressure is desired, that is, if it is a sought to increase the compressive effort of the spring 35, over and above the result secured by rotating the second adjusting device 49, this can be done by rotating the screw 31, by means of the 60 head 38, the foot 36 being advanced accordingly. The scale 41 on the disk 45 of the closure 44, cooperating with the arm 4| on the second adjusting device 49, indicates with suihcient accuracy, the degree of low pressurethat has been attained, 5 When the screw or first adjusting device 31 is rotated to secure high pressure adjustment, the dial or scale 56 on the head'3B of the screw, 00- operating with the arm 4| on the second adjusting device 49, will give the necessary high pres- 70 which is an inlet, the opposite 'end 24--25 of 76 3i communicating with the outlet 24-", a first valve III in the body I and interposed in the conduit, adjacent to the inlet 3, spring means It for operating the first valve It to close the conduit, means 55 for conducting pressure from the outlet 2425 to the first valve it, to operate the first valve and open the conduit, a relief valve 52 in the body I and located in the conduit, between the first valve Ill and the outlet 24-", spring means II for seating the relief valve '2 toward the first valve i'il, thereby enabling pressure to passthrough the conducting means I! and open the first valve Ill, the relief valve I2 opening away-from the first valve ll, responsive to pressure admitted to the conduit by the opening of the first valve In, another valve-l2 in the body I, spring means I! for operating said other valve 32 to cause it to close the relief port ll,

I'm trying to use standard system header files in my C++ XCode project:
#include <openssl/bio.h>
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
#include <openssl/err.h>
The build fails and it complains:
"Openssl/bio.h: No such file or directory"
I added /usr/include to the "Header Search Paths" in Project settings, but that doesn't fix it.
I COULD fix it by adding the whole path like:
#include </usr/include/openssl/bio.h>
-- but the project is full of similar includes and I don't want to change all of them this way. Also, I feel I shouldn't have to do this.
Another way to fix it would be as another thread mentioned, which is to add /usr/include to User Header Search Paths. But if I do that, then I'd have to change all the angle brackets <> to quotes "", which again seems like a hack. I mean, these are standard system header files so I feel it should be something simple, not requiring these kinds of hacks.
Any ideas?

Matthew 5:13: Ye are the salt of the earth:
from Holy Bible (KJV) – Matthew 5 on Genius
Salt was commonly used in Biblical times to preserve foods such as meat, vegetables, and fish (through the process of thoroughly rubbing it in). Salting meat is still sometimes used today, because it is hypertonic, and pressures water out of the cell, past the membrane.
So when Jesus said to His followers that they were the 'salt of the earth', he meant that they would preserve the earth from going completely stale, in both a spiritual and moral sense.

At the Outdoor Retailer show, Klymit unveiled its new air mat – the Inertia X Frame Sleeping Pad.
The company claims this new future-device weighs just 9.1 ounces and packs down to the size of a soda can. It also looks CRAZY.
I'm jealous of the backcountry types who can sleep on stuff like this. I am a notoriously light-sleeper, leaping to action at the slightest sound, jabbed shoulder, or sliver of sunlight. I have to use heavier air pads like the ExPed Synmats, which usually weigh in at least double the weight of this thing. But cutting weight isn't worth it if you don't sleep at night, right?
No pricing info on this little guy yet This will retail at $99.95 in November.

Wow, that is light. I think my Big Agnes Hinman weighs about 2 1/2 pounds. But… too odd. I think I would be better off getting a 3/4 length pad at the same weight (or less) than gamble on that.
So, did you test it out?
For something that kooky looking, I thought the price would be higher.
My thermarest plus is "self-inflating" (though I always inflate it myself), and it was fantastic on my coldest nights out there….
I haven't tested this thing, but I definitely will if I can get my hands on one. I have a very good feeling that I won't even begin to nod off on it, though. I just had to return my Thermarest after a few consecutive sleepless backpacking trips. Hoping my new ExPed does me better.
That is crazy looking. I've never had any luck with air mattress or self inflating. Finally happy with foam pads.
Wow. Holes right in the sleeping pad, just perfect for that rock you missed when clearing the campsite to poke right into your ribcage!
I think I'll stick with my NeoAir, even though it ONLY goes down to the size of a Nalgene bottle. LOL

Can I get my case dismissed because I was searched without a warrant?
If a judge rules that the police should have obtained a warrant before conducting their search, the judge will usually exclude the evidence at trial. In some situations, however, the evidence can be used:
In addition, if the prosecution can show that they would have come upon the evidence in the normal course of their investigation, the judge may let it in. This exception is known as "inevitable discovery."

As user moves, TMSI is used to send location update. Thus a third party snooping on the wireless link cannot track a user as he/she moves. • MSRN is the routing number that identifies the current location of the called MS. – MSRN is temporary network identity assigned to a mobile subscriber. – MSRN identifies the serving MSC/VLR. – MSRN is used for call delivery (calls incoming to an MS). • MSISDN is the dialed number to reach a GSM user 10 Addresses and Identifiers • Location Area ID (LAI) – CC: Country Code, MNC:Mobile Network Code, LAC: Location Area Code – LAI is broadcast regularly by Base Station on BCCH – Each cell is identified uniquely as belonging to an LA by its LAI CC MNC LAC 11 Location management • Set of procedures to: – track a mobile user – find the mobile user to deliver it calls • Current location of MS maintained by 2-level hierarchical strategy with HLRs and VLRs. 12 Ways to obtain MSRN 1. Obtaining at location update – MSRN for the MS is assigned at the time of each location update, and is stored in the HLR. This way the HLR is in a position to immediately supply the routing info (MSRN) needed to switch a call through to the local MSC. 2. Obtaining on a per call basis – This case requires that the HLR has at least an identification for the currently responsible VLR. When routing info is requested from the HLR, it first has to obtain the MSRN from the VLR. This MSRN is assigned on a per call basis, i.e. each call involves a new MSRN assignment 13 Routing information: case when MSRN is selected per call by VLR/MSC MSISDNIMSI, VLR number HLR MSISDN MSRN GMSC MSC/VLR • If MSRN is allocated to each subscriber visiting at an MSC, then the number of MSRNs required is large. If instead, an MSRN is allocated only when a call is to be established, then the number of MSRNs is roughly equal to number of circuits at MSC – a much smaller number – hence MSRNs typically allocated per call by VLR/MSC 14 Call routing to a mobile station: case when HLR returns MSRN 1 MSISDN GMSC ISDN LA 1 4 1 MSRN 2 3 MSISDN BSC MSRN MSC BTS MSC HLR 7 TMSI 5 7 MSRN TMSI LA 2 BSC EIR BTS 8 7 TMSI TMSI VLR AUC 6 MS BTS TMSI 15 Messages exchanged: call delivery 1 GMSC 5 4 PSTN 2 HLR 3 VLR 6 Target MSC Target VLR MSC GMSC HLR Originating 1.

ISUP IAM 16 Find operation in GSM • ISDN switch recognizes from the MSISDN that the call subscriber is a mobile subscriber. Therefore, forward the call to the GMSC of the home PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network) • GMSC requests the current routing address (MSRN) from the HLR using MAP • By way of MSRN the call is forwarded to the local MSC • Local MSC determines the TMSI of the MS (by querying VLR) and initiates the paging procedure in the relevant LA • After MS responds to the page the connection can be switched through. 17 GSM security • Authentication • What signed response (SRES) are you able to derive from the input challenge RAND by applying the A3 algorithm with your personal key Ki (Ki is per subscriber)? Ki RAND (128bit) Ki RAND A3 algorithm A3 algorithm MS SRES network SRES 18 equal? GSM security • Encryption • Digital technology – easy to encrypt voice data • A5 derives a ciphering sequence of 114 bits for each burst independently • XOR 114 bits of a radio burst with 114 bits of a ciphering sequence generated by A5 BTS MS Kc (64 bits) frame number Kc frame number (22 bits) A5 algorithm A5 algorithm S1(114) S2(114) ciphering S1 S2 deciphering deciphering ciphering 19 Key management • Ciphering key Kc is generated using algorithm A8 in the same manner as SRES (from RAND and Ki) • Each time a mobile station is authenticated the MS and network compute the ciphering key Kc by running algorithm A8 with the same inputs RAND and Ki as for SRES • Ciphering with Kc applies only when the network knows the identity of the subscriber it is talking to. – Bootstrap period during which network does not know who the subscriber is • Up to and including the first message carrying the non- ambiguous subscriber identity is carried in the clear (unencrypted) – Protection: use TMSI instead of IMSI when possible – TMSI should be exchanged during protected signaling (ciphered) procedures 20 Location registration • MS has to register with the PLMN to get communication services • Registration is required for a change of PLMN • MS has to report to current PLMN with its IMSI and receive new TMSI by executing Location Registration process. • The TMSI is stored in SIM, so that even after power on or off, there is only normal Location Update. • If the MS recognizes by reading the LAI broadcast on BCCH that it is in new LA, it performs Location Update to update the HLR records. • Location update procedure could also be performed periodically, independent of the MS movement. • The difference in Location Registration and Location Update is that in location update the MS has already been assigned a TMSI. 21 MS BSS/MSC VLR HLR AUC Location registration IMSI Ki Loc.Upd.Req Upd Loc.Area Auth.Info.Req (IMSI,LAI) Aut.Par.Req (IMSI,LAI) (IMSI) (IMSI) Authenticate Aut.

Oh, the night before, while stilling on Nick & Connie's sheltered patio, Nick thought he saw an animal . . . he wanted me to get up and look at it, but when I got out of my chair, it made a noise and I spooked it.

Just as it says in the title, overall I enjoyed the stay. The beds were very comfortable, and everyone had a good sleep. It is also rather quiet, meaning minimum noise from roads. The TV however, isn't exactly the latest model, and there was almost nothing to watch. The room itself is clean too. I also enjoyed the breakfast buffet. This hotel has a pool, but it's not very big. There is also a hot tub, and it's really hot. One of the main things is that the hotel has free Wi-fi and a printer on the first floor. It was very convenient because we were able to find and print out some maps. One of the downsides though, is that on the lower floors, you can hear it when somebody flushes a toilet on the floors above you.

thanks for the link but it's not helping. I spent 2 hours last night and 5 hours today on the Norton chat support line. Scenario was:

Wait in queue for chat support for 20 mins. Connect to an adviser. Tried to connect with me remotely. Didn't work. Linked to a new norton download which took 15 mins. Reboot. Navigate back to chat support...... wait in queue for 20 mins

ad infinitum, problem still not solved.

and so on. Hours of explaining the same problem, with different people giving me the same tasks to do. Then having to restart my pc and get back to them in the queue. Will ditch Norton and Firefox, shame though, I liked Firefox.

Basically, I give up. Norton and Firefox don't work together.

 Norton doesn't seem to support Firefox beta releases, so if you want to use the Norton toolbar in Firefox then you will have to install the current release (14.0.1).

When the lady priests in the Diocese of Niagara performed the Vagina Monologues in the diocesan cathedral for the edification – or titillation – of prurient Anglicans, they probably didn't anticipate that their impetuous attempt to be trendy would, within a couple of years, be condemned as "inherently reductionist and exclusive". The problem is, it seems, today, not everyone who claims – or self identifies, to use the current in vogue jargon – to be a woman has a vagina. I can't think why this did not occur to the lady priests.
Such are the perils of the never ending quest for ecclesiastical relevance.
From here:
"Gender is a wide and varied experience, one that cannot one that cannot simply be reduced to biological or anatomical distinctions, and many of us who have participated in the show have grown increasingly uncomfortable presenting material that is inherently reductionist and exclusive."
Ensler's play, which debuted in 1996 and has added new scenes ever since, features in-your-face monologues about sexual discovery, homosexuality, rape and even pedophilia. But even now, most of these fiercely feminist monologues have yet to give a voice to the vagina-less.

Reflexology: Research on reflexology
By Susan Watson
Research is now available to move reflexologists to another level of professionalism with Evidenced Based Reflexology.
Research on reflexology is being conducted on women with advanced breast cancer. The Natural Institute of Health (NIH) granted more than $3 million to Dr. Gwen Wyatt at both Michigan State University's West Michigan Cancer Center and North Shore Health Systems in Evanston, Ill. This study is to test reflexology effects on improving the quality of life for women undergoing chemotherapy for late stages of breast cancer.
Dr. Gwen Wyatt just finished a study from 2005-2007 that showed reflexology did show positive results on breast cancer patients, and, therefore, the NIH granted $3 million to study improving the quality of life of breast cancer patients 2008 to the end of 2010. for more information, see the following Web sites:

Nancy Stephenson, R.N., of Greenville, S.C., is conducting how reflexology effects on cancer pain and anxiety. In a two-year study, an East Carolina University School of Nursing researcher saw significant decreases in pain and anxiety in cancer patients whose partners used reflexology or manual pressure applied to specific points on their feet (http://www.ecu.edu/cs-admin/news/poe/2007/207/stephenson.cfm).

Susan Watson, a National Board Certified Reflexology Therapist (NCRT), is author of Practical Reflexology, a reflexology certification textbook published by McGraw-Hill, and is founder and instructor of Healthy Soles School of Reflexology.
