Have you ever played siblings with another player? What were those characters like? Even if you didn't, talk about your characters' brothers and sisters anyway!

What's the closest Pathfinder class to a 3.5e Warlock?

My character's siblings died when the zombies came
Hey /tg/, I am in need of some advice.
I am joining a 5e campaign soon and playing as a paladin for the group. But I wanted to add a little twist to the character:She was originally a unicorn, who seeked redemption for inadvertently causing an old BBEG to rise to power by erasing her memories and permanently polymorphing herself into the form of a human of a kind heart and sense of justice. She later is taken in by a church and raised as a paladin.
The key to this idea is that only the DM will be aware of it. The PC has no memories beyond waking up in a forest when she was twelve with a bloody hole on her forehead, and assumes some evil beast or a band of orcs had hit her head so hard that she got amnesia. And for all she and the other players know, that is what happened.
The only way her true form can be revealed is if dispel magic is used on her (With a very high DC) or if true resurrection is used on her if her current body is destroyed. And as the DM informed me, I am not getting any benefits for her original race unless she is shifted into that race, which I am fine with.
So, what quirks do you think would fit her personality to hint at what she is, but not be obvious? I was thinking that she is compelled to assist pure maidens in need regardless of how minor or pointless the request is, but otherwise I got nothing. Any ideas?
Pic related is the design I am cooking up for her.
She won't allow any nonvirgins to ride her.
Uncomfortable riding horses

>NPC or PC starts hitting on her due to her huge amount of CHA.
>None of them interest her for some unknown reason, yet she seems more attracted to the awkward yet kind-hearted virgins rather than the more experienced patrons.
This sounds like doujin porn. Will this lead to porn?
Can you butt chug a magic potion and still benefit from its effects?
>>53031263
It reverses the effects.
>>53031279
What if someone drank the potion out of the butt chugger's butt, like they ate the chugger's ass after the potion was butt chugged?
>>53031263
Depends on the potion. I prefer potions that work on skin contact, so you apply them by throwing them at your friends in combat
Holy magic comes from worship, but it need not be the worship of deities. The dying words of Sertrous revealed this. Divine energy can be wrought from the worship of an ideal, the worship of a country, the worship of yourself, and even the worship of a demon despite the taint of the abyss. You have ZERO reason to worship the gods, who leave you to suffer on the wall of the faithless if you refuse to worship them.
Take the insight that Sertrous gave us to heart. You must not fall for the machinations of the gods. Stand on your own two feet, and believe only in your own power.
>>53030187
Have you tried not playing D&D?
>>53030187
Eberron has this as a core idea. Stop playing in shitty settings.

It's true in forgotten realms too, anon.

What is your opinion of psychic powers in sci fi? An interesting angle to explore or indulgence of people who can't play an rpg If they can't be wizards?
What about in fantasy? A flavorful alternative/counterpart to more classical magic or overpowered snowflakery?
I think it's a good replacement for magic but when both magic and psychic powers exist it starts to muddy the waters.
>>53028409
It automatically makes a sci-fi setting bullshit for me. I can enjoy bullshit, but only as pulp.
In fantasy I broadly agree with >>53030096 . If the psychic stuff is very limited, like plain telepathy between the members of a race, then I think that can work. If it's a rival system to magic then it's just a mess and is typically found in clusterfuck settings. Maybe it can be made to work, I haven't seen it done well though. Even in 40k, magic and psychic powers are the same thing.
>>53028409
I think it adds a lot of variety to sci-fi settings.
just play the science angle. it is a craft that requires dedication and exact measurements; of both mental focus and materials. without both it is a bust.
read witcher or WH40K fluff for ideas since it's broken down in detail and info readily available.

Are you ready for the LA underground highways? What are some interesting ways to use them, besides car thefts on underground highways?
In case you're wondering, Elon Musk has an insane proposal that he be allowed to build tunnels all over LA for cars to reduce traffic. He's bought a giant boring machine and he plans to just go for it without getting permits. He is literally a megacorp CEO https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-02-16/elon-musk-is-really-boring
Any of you chummers Hooders? It feels like they're few and far between in-setting nowadays, especially in the 5e lore. Which is a crying shame, since I love that kind of character within future dystopias, when a setting can hold that kind of Phantom 2040 vibe where your character, his allies and other Runners are some of the few defenders of a dying world.
That aspect of cyberpunk settings I think has gotten pushed aside too much lately in the sense of too much cyber, not enough punk. I hate just doing runs for The Man to target the other Man, man. Let me destroy evil laboratories and have good guy and villain monologues that lead up to hype fights.
>>53027825
Prooobably not a thing in LA, or outside of arcologies.
Remember, in the 6th world, LA is under water chummer, has been since some really massive quakes. Any tunnels, basements, BART, whatever is flooded if not collapsed.
How do I describe an orgy as disgusting?
Villains are worshippers of not!slaanesh, so it's important to me.
>>53027543
Read anything by Clive Barker that includes sex. There's an incredibly horrible scene where two men have a food fueled sex romp, and his description of it is both appalling and incredibly well done, to the point where I became nauseous.
And I write things like parasite removal sexual scenes and body hollowing evisceration sex.
>>53027596
Said sex scene is in Imajica, in case you are morbidly curious.
>>53027543
Watch the end scene in sausage party

No one plays blue so I don't have to worry about counters.
What's the best way to stop the jackasses who like to go Infinite turn 4/5 other than just saying "Congrats, you won!" and the remaining three or four of us continuing to play?
>>53027215
play tutorable silver bullets. harsh mentor stops some combos, grab one. hushwing griff, other hatebears.

What is the worst permanent damage your PC have suffered during adventuring?
>>53026168
Lost an arm
In a few games I'm currently in, one character has lost an arm, another has quite severe facial scarring, another is blind and has crippled arms.
Then again, it's a Wuxia game, so 'being a badass despite a disability' or having a notable disfigurement is pretty par for the course.
>>53026168
he died.
All right, so all these boobplates and chainmail bikinis and revealing leather look really hot and get your sweaty neckbeard dicks hard, but why would any woman actually wear them?
>>53025637
That is simple. They wouldn't.
>>53025637
Women dress like skimpy whores in public anyway so why not?
>>53025637
Yeah. They do it in real life all the time.

What classes do you find superfluous or lacking in depth?

I found that the difference between a sorcerer and a wizard, without Venetian casting, was purely academic. The sorcerer end up looking kind of bland by comparison, and there weren't many good builds for it.
>original, interesting reasons for aliens who are evidently intelligent enough to invent FTL travel to not only want to invade Earth for whatever convoluted reason but also not curbstomp all the humans, without resorting to making them arbitrarily incompetent or idiotic or making the humans arbitrarily hypercompetent titans
>>53025381
The plot for the movie "They Live"?
Same reasons human explorers and missionaries would go to a tiny jungle village full of savages.
They want to convert them, they're stopping for rest and supplies, they're looking for a great treasure hidden nearby, they want to rape some local women, etc.
>>53025381
Humans are cannon fodder, reproduction rates and wide spectrum of skills make for decent foot soldiers. Pepper in accelerated growth rate, with info being practically just plugged into them in the vats, possibly the ability to reverse the aging process in physical appearance and endurance but life span stays the same to bring more humans into the war.
They want us and see us as nothing more than meat shields to bolster their own ranks and keep more of their own people alive.
