You're aware Pathfinder is a containment game for furries and weeaboos, right? If Paizo goes out of business, those degenerates will find other games to infest, and I would much rather not have them not pick my games of choice as their new cesspool.

Source? Link?

Just because /pfg/ is full of them, doesn't mean the entire community is.
Expand your perception, bruv

As far as I know wizards have crucial bonuses when they become necromancers so pick wizard. and depending on how many people are playing I would advise against playing necromancer because it may clog up a combat encounter with 6+ skeletons and 6+ party members but that entirely depends on the party comp and number (I would say 5 PCs is fine). I don't have much experience in Lawful good necromancer but some mindsets they may have is:
Once a soul leaves this body it becomes a resource, a tool to channel my virtuous intent.
Time makes skeletons of us all.
I'm not good with talking to the living, I'm far more comfortable around people I've resurrected.

>>52565258
Look for the Cleric Unearthed Arcana article on the DnD website or the 5e general. It's got a nicely spooky themed Grave cleric domain. It won't give bonuses to your undead like the Necromancer Wizard though.

If you want to make the strongest undead, then go Wizard. But yeah be careful not to bog down the game too often. Try to get a bag of holding and keep a dozen skeletons in there.

>>52566199
would I be aloud a ghost companion? like a familiar? or is that all just dependent if the DM lets me?

3/4 is bigger than 2/3. So their hunched posture is apparently making them taller

>>52564970
Yeah, I accidentally switched those two numbers around when writing this out. I'm on mobile, so didn't see the error before posting.

So... any suggestions, /tg/?

There's a large room entered by an open doorway, there's an altar in the middle and a seald door in the far end. The altar has three buttons and a talking statue. The statue gives a simple logical puzzle (just find one on the internet) supposedly to work out which button you should press to open the sealed door at the far end. Actually all the buttons will disintegrate anyone pressing them. The door was never really sealed in the first place, and is in fact easily opened.

A merchant selling a knife that, so he claims, allows the user to gain three bonus lives by killing themselves with it.
This obviously isn't the actual effect, it instead just teleports some of the user's gear/loot back to that merchant.

>>52561774
Ooo, I could even use this for the world's shittiest binary logic puzzle.

>>52561851
This is also pretty hilarious.

If by 'best' you mean 'most easily adaptable' then maybe.

The actual setting for Samurai Jack almost doesn't exist thanks to how kitchen sink it is. It exists purely as a backdrop for Jack's conflict with Aku, and therefore is about as deep as a large puddle. It works great for the episodic and personal journey of Jack but there isn't much to the setting beyond what we see directly in the show.

>Great excuse to use a fake offensive accent

SJWs actually think pretty highly of Phil LaMarr, impressed by his ability to use weeb inflection without dipping into Micky Rooney impressions

>>52553760
>> Martials and casters are balanced

Doesn't Jack (a fighter) defeat everything he comes across?

The issue is it comes from an MMO mentality born of the modern MMO where if everyone does their job right the healer doesn't have to stress much at all, just sitting back and pushing buttons when a think starts to blink yellow or maybe red.

In TTRPGs I have yet to see either of these mentalities actually come up, especially given the amount of people who learn healers from D&D where you're a tough mother fucker in armor and wielding a hammer.

>>52543089
I look forward to the short life and swift death of the term "healslut."

>>52543089
That makes some more sense.
I'm a 3.5 Fag so I've never been too experienced with other systems too often, but it's always seemed like my groups never even had healers and often enough healing would be a thing we did in town.

Also it's sorta sad that the inability to instantly heal makes doctors a non-viable occupation in fantasy adventure parties.

I know someone had a pastebin for the stuff but I don't have the link for it anymore, I'm afraid.

You don't seem to have many questions... I'll go with a very general one: do you have an example of an especially tricky situation you had to explain to a player, that could get someone here confused?

>>52516819
None I can think of off-hand, honestly. Unless a specific interaction or call was really interesting, I tend to kinda blank them out of my memory after I leave the table.

OK then, here is one:
I live in Italy, and went to a tournament recently with a Visions FoW (pic related). The guy is saying "oh my fucking god, I knew I shouldn't have played a combo deck". At the beginning of the tournament, a judge checked the altered cards, laughed but ended up asking me to use another one. He told me that the "porco dio" part, if I were to say it loud, would get me "a penalty" (blasphemy still being a serious thing here).
How are such rules defined? Is there something dictated by WotC or is it up to every event organizer and judge to decide what can or can't be said? Note that I'm not debating the judge's decision, just wondering.

>Australia.
Sounds pretty fun actually, but I have no idea how it would be, as a setting.

>Canada

Shit, where are my owlbear stats.

Bite attack w/vorpal and probably keen, at least a +20 to acrobatics

Str 18 Dex 24 Con 14 Int 15 Wis 12 Cha 17

It's a bunny with:

Multiattack: The bunny makes two bite attacks.

Bite: Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, melee range, one target. Hit: 22 (3d10 + 6) piercing damage.

Leap: The bunny charges to a target up to 10ft away, avoiding any opportunity attacks it triggers on the way. It can replace one of its bite attacks with this.

Go for the Jugular: If the bunny made two bite attacks last turn on a single target, it can use this entire turn's action to go for a killstrike. Target makes a con saving throw against the bunny's strength. If you succeed, just roll a normal bite attack, if you fail, take 4d20 piercing damage.

No idea how balanced this is, just thought i'd provide some ideas.
