They're a progenitor race in my setting, along with dwarves and humans. All the other races are descended somewhere down the line from those three races interbreeding with each other or monsters. Elf + Dragon led to a custom race called the Dracor, which in turn are the forebearers of Kobolds. Gnomes are distant descendants of Dwarves interbred with fae and Halflings come from Humans.

Of course it exists.

>>44987643

Anon it depends on the type of character you create and the body type you're inclined to give them.

For example, a bard can go up to Sona-tier boobs without much problem, while I'd be hard-pressed to believe the Rogue should have anything larger than Taki from Soul Caliber. Paladins and the more knightly classes are much more individual, same with sorcerers.

But, ultimately, one must take the advice of Court Justice Potter Stewart and just remember, "I know it when I see it."

Casual.

I mean, it's okay to have limits, but it's important to know that you are using them.
>>
>>44987643
Basically if your breasts are a larger size category than you they're too big. For example, ogre sized breasts on a human. Not "breasts the size of ogre breasts", "breasts the size of literal ogres, 9' tall and 450 lbs each". Likewise, a halfling with breasts that are 6' tall and 250 pounds each are too much. They can be halfling sized (3' tall and abour 50 lbs each) though.

Her breasts aren't oversized, anon. They're large but nothing you'd start to question.

>>44988280

I always thought Taki's tits looked larger than they are due to the bodysuit. Not saying they're small, but I'm not convinced they're as big as Sona's.

Dammit, where's that chart of LoL tits so we could have an accurate ranking of which girl is the "max" a class should go.

So how's Shadowdancer?
Trying to get into a level 5 campaign as an archer fighter (first-timer and I don't really want to fuck around with spell lists).

Thinking of dipping a few levels into shadowdancer for the companion, slap a bow on him, boom a still somewhat effective bow wielding butt buddy for the price of 1bab and whatever feats I would've taken instead
>>
>>44988634
It's not very good.

Use Eldritch Guardian instead, you get a familiar that shares your feats. With the right familiar archetypes, they can wield a bow too.

Hey /pfg/ I'm rolling a Psychic (occult one) for the next campaign. Have only skimmed past the spell list. Any new spells in there that are good and perhaps easily missed?

I've been invited to join a Wrath of the Righteous game, and I'm told that are into the second book. Party is a monk, pally, wizard/cleric going into mystic theurge, and the summoner that wears/is his eidolan. Party level is nine and I don't know what I'd want to play. Ideas?
>>
>>44988881
Skald, since the party seems heavy on melee. Bard if you want to be a bit more utility focused instead.
>>
>>44988881
Hellknight
>>
>>44988881
Something fairly weak, with that party. The synthesist summoner is almost-certainly the most powerful character there, and they're pretty strong but distinctly worse than the base version.

If this party chose mystic theurge and synthesist on purpose, to nerf those classes to not overshadow the monk and pally, kudos to them. That's not a bad play, and probably fits the expected power level of an AP.

But if they thought those were good choices, oh boy.

My guess is that the party could use something defender-y. Something that can keep fire off the others, provide decent in-the-thick-of-it battlefield control, and take hits.

Unfortunately, Pathfinder sucks at that. What material do you have available?

I'll never understand why DMs are paranoid of 3PP--though, specifically, I'm referring to Dreamscarred's stuff. DSP does Pathfinder better than Paizo ever has, and probably ever will, and yet the last time I tried to get a DM to approve it, all he allowed were the Martial Training feats and only the tiniest access to maneuvers. Not even psionics or the base-class archetypes that give initiating.

What is it about that stuff that makes DMs unwilling to even read it? It's like a phobia.

Does this mean the ceiling for rogue tits should be based on Taki, or a rogue-like character from League of Legends?

Because the suggestion in >>44988529 that the "max size" for a class should be based on their LoL or Soul Caliber equivalent (both games infamous for their different chest sizes) is starting to make an awful lot of sense.

I'll look over anything my players bring to me, but the big problem I run into with 3PP is that they don't understand the difference between fluff and crunch. The game rules are written with a very particular jargon, but half the time shitty 3PPs just use whatever terms they want and confuse crunch and fluff. Obviously there are good houses like DSP that actually understand what they're doing, but so often the shitty ones just say "hey you know what would be cool..." and don't really think about the words they use, leaving the door open to conflicts when the players and I having a different interpretation of abilities.

It should fit the character, and for me the general rule would be "can I see a woman in this profession having breasts this large and still operate at her best?"

I'm digging the idea that the general LoL analogue for a class should be the maximum they should go, which is to say Nidalee is the largest a Barbarian should be, Sona is the biggest a barbarian should be, Ahri fits with any spellcaster, Sejuani is for fighters or paladins and Riven works with the trash like rogue or ninja.
>>
>>44987643
If you have to describe the size of your characters breasts then you're already going too far in my book.

The common trap new GMs make, and one I used to fall into, is the very reasonable but very wrong assumption 'Paizo is the main company so they should be best at balance and design; if 3pp stuff was so good then why aren't they working directly for paizo? They're probably second-rate'

Acceptance of 3pp comes with the realisation that paizo has no real clue what it's doing either.
>>
>>44989819

That image has the right of it, just say the character is "busty" or "flat" and find character art that reflects this, there isn't any need to describe the measurements or constantly bring up how tight her shirt is during a session.

Hey /pfg/, at what point does a custom race get to ridiculousness, or is the general rule to disallow them on the outset?

I remembering somewhere hearing a general rule of "as long as they don't get more than Dwarves," can someone elaborate further? I've got a race I've concocted, but am curious what about Dwarves makes them super strong.
>>
>>44990092
Assuming 1pp only, unchained rogue is pretty solid.

But unless your friend is quite a bit more experienced than you sound (Or they also lurk pfg and other forums), the first wizard they build will probably make a lot of mistakes and won't outclass noncasters by that much - especially if they focus on direct damage.

What >>44990160 said.

I *like* Paizo's swashbuckler, because that is my most favorite archetype ever, and I think the class pulls it off to a non-zero degree.

But /pfg/ almost universally considers the swashbuckler to be bargain-basement shit tier.

The general notion is to go Unchained Rogue or one of the other hybrid classes, like Slayer.

>>44990179
But what in particular makes them that way?

Because as it stands, this custom race I have gets the Human bonus feat, Improved Initiative, +2 STR & INT (or +2 DEX & INT), +3 AC, and +2 to disease, poison, and mind-affecting effects (17 RP). They were made for a setting that botched, and I'm employing it in another friend's game as a Magus. At Lv3, he had a bit going for him. I suspect though, that once enemies start swinging harder than +5, his AC buffs will start to fall off a lot. They're basically sapient constructs, with magic having turned clockwork/steam machinery into something so innately magical as to be its own life-form, complete with the need to eat/drink and susceptibility to disease and poison.

Ironically (for this discussion), they were made by dwarves in this game I'm playing in. Would they be qualifying as "stronger than dwarves" or just on the upper end of the races?
>>
>>44990212
Why does /pfg/ hate swashbuckler?
>>
>>44990577
It's locked into doing one thing (attack with one handed finesse weapons), that one thing isn't exceptionally useful (it does good damage compared to other melee characters, but that's it), and it doesn't gain any abilities that are useful besides that, and the ones it does get he gets at level 1.

It's basically gunslinger 2.0.

Because it's a pointless and weak class.
It can never out damage a Fighter, its own abilities are choked out by action economy and resource budgeting, it forced you to use one of the weakest combat styles in the game, only works with a small group of weapons unless you either waste feats ornpic equally shitty archetypes, and Charmed Life is a fucking joke.

It is almost explicitly worse at its job than a Fighter, and the Daring Champion Cavalier does its entire job except better.

Elven Absinthe is 500 gp.

So fifteen is the "shit-tier OP" level?

What about a race like >>44990511 ? Is that OP, or just really potent? I chose AC bumps over DR because of how AC's usefulness plummets after a certain point of the game.

Considering I want to run that race's source-setting soon, I want a race that's cool and unique to the setting/campaign but isn't "jesus christ" broken. I'm aiming for a Warforged-esque race with it.

Well somewhere around DD, diving and swimming speeds get impaired, but you'd get an equivalent bonus to staying afloat to avoid drowning.

Running with those things starts getting quite painful the larger they are, and it throws your balance off quite a bit depending on what you try to do. Giant tits CAN exist on very athletic bodies (not that I'm a living example of either) but are a hindrance in pretty much every way.

Wait, do familiars get any kind of BAB or hp progression?
>>
>>44990577

A couple problems, really.

>A class billed as a "mobile fighter" falls into the exact same stand still or suck syndrome all melee martials do.
>Its save array is awful, having a weak fort AND will save despite both its parent classes having strong fort saves
>Charmed Life, its way to counteract its terrible saves, requires an immediate action to use. Meaning if you boost a save with it, you can't use deeds on your following turn, so your class features are fighting EACH OTHER instead of the enemy. Additionally, your Charmed Life runs out pretty fast, so you have a martial class that runs out of its non-regenerating resource faster than the casters do, which defeats the point of being a martial.
>It's very pidgeonholed. The class is designed around dex-based one-handed melee combat, which is paradoxically more difficult to do property than two-handed melee AND considerably weaker damage-wise.
>The class has extremely limited capabilities as a ranged fighter, which means it hates flying enemies even more than other melee specialists do.
>Prior to some errata, the Daring Champion Cavalier, an archetype introduced in the same book, is superior in basically every way.

What would a better comparison be, then? I ask because I'm wanting to be able to sit down and stat out races for people in my campaigns, should they want to play something besides the core.

Like I said, the only thing I had heard (and been able to find) prior to this was "as long as they don't outdo dwarves" without any real explanation as to what that meant. If there's a better rule of thumb, I'd be ecstatic to know so that I can base it by that.

Also, is this a bad kind of optimization? Or is it all dependent on in-game actions from there?

The biggest trap people fall into with fantasy races is to let the "schtick" overshadow everything else, making their culture rigid and one dimensional. In the real world there's pretty much no aspect of a culture that is both absolute and capable of being summed up in 1 or 2 sentences (inasmuch as any aspect of culture can be either of those things individual to begin with). Always make exceptions to the "rules" and leave room for individual agency. Also, if you aren't intimately familiar with BDSM culture (watching the porn doesn't count) it might be worthwhile to do a bit of research on that.

Nothing in there about damage modifiers.
>>

They are not crits. They actually can't crit, but they also don't auto-fail on a 1.

Alright, I have read it, and I have this to say.

It seems pretty powerful at first, and overall I say it might be more potent than a Cavelier

However, due to the Focus mechanic, and the fact the Dragons are often too big and lack most of thier magical capabilities, I'd say it's not too OP. Plus as a Martial with both limited Weapon choices and very little skill points, its hardly the most powerful thing.

Overall, due to its progressive nature, ability to cast, and the companion, I'd say that it's probably in the limbo space between Tier 4 and 3. At early levels your action economy will screw you, but at higher levels you become a combat monster, but are still limited by both your massive size and skill points.

As long as your game takes big companions into account, and your DM plays your Companion fairly, you should be fine.

Plus, you are now essentially Ash Ketchum and Charizard

>>44992935
That's the other rule.

Further, page 12 has this only to say:
>Multiplying: When you are asked to apply more than one multiplier to a roll, the multipliers are not multiplied by one another. Instead, you combine them into a single multiplier, with each extra multiple adding 1 less than its value to the first multiple. For example, if you are asked to apply a ×2 multiplier twice, the result would be ×3, not ×4.

Which of these is more frustrating?

It helps (though not much) against having Magic or other environmental effects completely buttfuck a character over.

>>
>>44993447
IMO it's more annoying when you know you're right but the DM thinks you're wrong. For starters, it just makes you feel like your DM is a dumbass if he can't understand the plain-as-day rules text. But more than that, you can't try and present your case to the DM without him thinking you're either stupid or trying to break the rules to be more powerful.

>>44993560
Wait, so, you use to say paralyzed creatures could not use SLAs and then when your players convinced you to let paralyzed creatures use SLAs, one of them took Hold Person? Did you type that out wrong? It sounds like they took Hold Person after you nerfed it. If you meant they took it after you buffed it... Well that's kinda shitty but I wouldn't expect otherwise.

use abilities like Animus Healing. stand up from prone. draw an item. finish off a full attack.

>>44994109
Plenty. Reloading guns, feinting, class features that use a Move...
>>
>>44994109
A lot, if you can combine it with a standard to make a full-round action.
>>
>>44994196
You could use your normal move action for all of those, then/before use your extra move.

>>44994224
The first two suck, I was thinking about the rest

>>44994225
You can use the "extra move" that's not a move action, and then just use your full attack with your normal move action. So having an extra move that is a move action there isn't a noticable advantage over having an "extra move".

Are item creation feats a waste for my wizard? It's a campaign where we will be unlikely to buy much magical. I also want to play my wizard as a buffer and controller where save or die spells aren't my number one choice. Should take I spell focus type stuff instead and raise my dcs?
>>
>>44993368
Definitely the second.

Had a DM tell me I can't cast Hold Person on a troll, even through it works on any and all humanoids. This really tussled my jimbos since I'd picked the spell for that exact fucking reason, and then dutifully saved it for when it would have saved me rerolling two characters, but no.

In an earlier instance, he had some extremely questionable ideas on how mummy rot is cured (wanted out lvl 6 cleric to make a DC20 CL check to even cast remove curse, which is in fact, not a conjuration (healing) spell at all.

Go 3.5 and play a Warlock for unlimited Eldritch Blasts per day and the occasionally useful Invocation.
Otherwise, just accept that casting spells to blast shit is, well, going to cost you spells. If you feel that you absolutely need blasting power and your spell slots free for utility, invest in crafting Wands and scrolls.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of bearing witness to the oddest courtship in a D&D campaign yet
>Evil Campaign, 10th level
>Playing a wizard(Necromancer), other players are a Barbarian and some WoW-esq druid homebrew.
We got our asses kicked by some paladin order, so we ended up having to retreat out of our base of operations. Decide to sack a few villages to vent some anger and replenish some supplies.
Me and the druid head to the local graveyard to get our army up and running. Barbarian obviously goes for the tavern and starts ransacking the place for booze, when a gutsy barmaid comes out of left field and crits him with an battleaxe. Of course, with a 0 str mod and his stupidly high HP, he ends up perfectly fine, and we believed this was the last of our brave barmaid.
Next round of combat, the barbarian pulls of his ring of protection +2, gets down on one knee, and asks her to marry him.
We're generally a beer pretzels group, so when the GM asked him 'What was the justification', the player said that 'Being axed by a strong woman made his heart go Doki Doki'.Mind you, the player is 6"5', made of hair, and has a voice so deep we have to have special equipment to pick him up. Queue a fight between him trying to profess his love and her trying to axe him (She didn't get lucky again) before he finally grappled her, pulled her out of the tavern, and then commanded us to stop raiding her town.
He then made me make the dead rebuild the buildings we knocked over, pay damages, and make the dead bury themselves after everything was done.
Session ended with us running off with the girl and a very confused paladin order wondering why the undead here were so helpful.

What are some good "instant hooks" to add for a character?

To give SOME foundation, the build I have planned is an Invulnerable Rager (maybe Urban Barbarian) that fights one-handed with a longsword since I'm fluffing his rage as a "martial trance." Might replace with Greatsword if I think he should be less suave and more forceful.

The opening plot is hardly there, all I know is we're part of a massive, expansionist empire on the verge of another series of conquests, and in the Underdark a sinister force is brewing up an invasion of their own.

>>44996886

Full+CON, because I like throwing unreasonable challenges at the party.
>>
>>44996883
Yeah, you know, that's another thing. If a GM allowed me to take some feat or ability or item not realizing how broken it was, and then learned later on when I started using it, it's not entirely unfair if he wants to ban me from using that thing. But when a GM does that without letting me change out the feat/spell for free or be refunded the cost of the item... That's kind of kicking me in the dick for him not doing his job (actually looking at what you want to take and evaluating it before it comes up), isn't it?
>>
>>44996886
My group is use to rolling hit dice but assuming a minimum value of half. Like, if the barbarian rolls a 1 on his d12, he still gets 6 HP instead of 1. Then you add on CON as normal, of course. First HD is maxed automatically as well.
>>
>>44996943
>>44996886
Full+CON also makes the different HD really show through. When you're just rolling, a Barbarian can end up with less HP than a Wizard, even with a substantial difference in the con modifier.

>>
>>44997543

Sure. Regional feats:

Ankh-Morpork

Cynical Disposition
Benefit: People from Ankh-Morpork don’t view the world through rose-colored glasses. They view them through the kind of glasses you get when you live on $20 a day and have a bedroom whose last cleaning was about a decade ago. You gain an insight bonus to your Will save against [mind-affecting] abilities that would alter your attitude or mood equal to one-quarter your hit dice, rounded down.

Disciple of Mrs. Cake
Benefit: Once per day as a swift action, you can pose a riddle to a creature within your movement range. The target must make a will save DC (10 + 1/2 level + highest mental modifier). If the creature does not see through the riddle as a koan, then it becomes confused for 1d4 rounds. A successful save means the creature sees through your trick and verbally demeans you for posing silly questions in the middle of something more important (like fighting).

Hard of Smell
Benefit: Many things can be said about Ankh-Morpork, but nearly all of them are said while holding one’s nose to avoid the smell. You cannot be affected by any spells, powers, or other abilities that rely on your olfactory sense. Among other things, this makes you immune to being nauseated or sickened.

Take it in Stride
Benefit: Things rarely rattle or surprise you, given that you see far too much in Ankh-Morpork as it is. You gain an insight bonus against [fear] effects equal to one-quarter your Hit Dice, rounded down, and gain a +4 circumstance bonus to your initiative the first round following a surprise round.
>>
>>44997293
Maybe not when tripwires are involved, but breasts can help balance a girl with dat ass, enhancing stealth rather than inhibiting it.
>>
>>44997627

Moar

Fourecks (XXXX)

Gone Right Out the Other Side
Benefit: No one gets anywhere in XXXX trying to think logically. It’s too hot for that. If you successfully disbelieve illusion effects, you can also choose to believe it, and have that effect be real, if it would be beneficial to you. Thus you could cross an illusory bridge as if it were the genuine article if you had recognized it as an illusion. Note that this effect cannot be applied to illusions that you yourself cast, manifested or otherwise created.

Hostile Environment
Benefit: It’s a known fact of XXXX that 90% of its wildlife and plantlife is, at any given time, trying to kill you. What is often not remembered is that the other 10% is happy to kill anyone, a category into which you also fall. You are no longer disabled at negative hitpoints, and can continue to act right up until you would be permanently slain. You also gain a +2 racial bonus to saves against poison, magical or otherwise, and immunity to one non-magical poison of your choice.

The Dream
Benefit: Any time you use an ability or spell related to dreams or the like (spells of the Dream domain, nightmare, weird, modify memory, etc.), you add a +2 bonus to the save DC, and the effects last for 1d4 rounds longer than normal. When on the Astral Plane, you may as a swift action switch between being incorporeal and corporeal for a number of rounds per day equal to your hit dice.
>>
>>44997648
Exampe race (all a bit stronger than normal to be balanced against humans or things like Aasimar/Tieflings):

Igors
+2 Dex, +2 Int, -2 Cha. Igors have quick minds and fingers, but are a bit lacking in the interpersonal relations department.
Size and Type: Medium Humanoids
An Igor's base land speed is 30 ft.
Racial Skills: Igors have a +2 racial bonus on all Heal, Craft (Alchemy) and Stealth checks. Moreover, Heal is always a class skill for Igors.
Lab Assistant: Whenever an Igor uses the aid another action to help someone with a craft or heal check, the bonus provided by a successful action is increased to +4. An Igor cohort can be one-level lower than their master, rather than the usual two lower.
Behind you, Marthter (Su): Igor's have extremely sensitive hearing and will turn up whenever and wherever their master's need them. Any time a creature within 60 feet of an Igor mentions him, he can teleport behind that creature as an immediate action, as per the dimension door spell. This ability can be used 1/day. At 7 HD, the Igor gains an additional use of the ability, with further uses gained at 13 HD and 19 HD.
A Spare Hand (Ex): Igors are extremely adept at self-repair. Once per day, they can take tissue from a dead creature (or from carefully preserved body parts) and attach those bits to themselves to repair any damage they may have taken, restoring their hit points as if subjected to a cure moderate wounds spell with a caster level equal to half their hit dice, rounded down (minimum 1). Igors can also use this ability to reattach (or attach in some cases) lost or missing limbs.
Naturally Servile (Ex): Igors needs masters. It's that simple. As a result, Igors take a -2 racial penalty to will saves against domination or charm effects.
Hazards of the Job (Ex): Igors have Electricity and Acid Resistance 5

That's when you use Stunning Irruption and draw everyone's eyes to your swinging hypnotic boobs, stunning them.

I think a Handy Haversack could be modified to work fine for that purpose, so that's 2,000 GP. Just to be generous, let's assume the DM puts down a small fine for the extra work needed, and make it 2,200. Let's add in a bonus to Stealth too, say... +5. By itself that would cost 2,500 GP. And a couple SLAs, for good measure: Invisibility and Disguise Self, both 1/day. The cost there is going to depend on caster level, which at minimum is 3. The Disguise Self SLA is worth 5,400 GP and the Invisibility SLA 10,800 GP.

Now combining these effects all into one item means everything except the most expensive effect gets a 1.5x multiplier to cost. That means the end price for this item is going to be 25,950. Round it off so we have a nice number, and we get 26,000 for your magic stealth bra. From it you get a nice bonus to stealth, a couple helpful SLAs for any sneakster, and convenient titty hammerspace that will both ease the load on your back, reduce the size of your frame, give you a great hiding place for whatever small items you flitch, and allow you to really surprise anyone seeing you naked for the first time. Oh, and obviously it's a chest-slot item.

Now what do we name it?

Nah, too much work. Just make it a constantly-active item of Floating Disk (the disk covers the boobs as a bra, you see).

1x1x2000x2 (slotless), so 4k total. Maybe throw in some Sleeves of Many Garments to give you extra styles for 300 extra, so 4300 gp. Comfortable floating boobs that also double as a flotation device.

>>
>>44998319
>>44998461
Well, yeah. You could go either of those routes. Doing this is much more interesting in my opinion, though. I suppose the item could come in lesser and greater varieties though, with the lesser version only providing the extradimensional space and a +3 bonus on Stealth checks. The reduced price for the lesser version would be... about 3,550 GP I think. Again, rounding off to 3,600 because we like neat numbers.

>Possible with a name for the inventing mage, but I don't know who would be appropriate for that. What lady-mages in Golarion might want to create something like this?

Seoni, perhaps.

But I doubt busty mages in Golarion are uncommon, eventually one of them is going to try and make an item to keep her boobs from knocking over things.

Khelben Arunsun, last I checked

>Handy Honker Hiders

This was clearly invented by Honoka, a Tian sorceress affectionately known as "Honkers" due to her exceptional size in relation to height.

In 5e, Orcs get a bonus action move action if they move aggressively towards a hostile creature (i.e. any move towards a potential rape victim)

Oh, I like this name best. 'cept, I want a Pathfinder mage. And you know what? >>44998917 actually works great, because it explains why Mythic Seoni's tits look smaller than normal Seoni's tits.

Seoni's Brilliant Bustier.

That works too, but Honoka's Handy Honkey Hider is an obnoxious mouthful so Honoka's Honker Hiders would be better. I actually still like the way Seoni's Brillient Bustier sounds more, but I don't know if Seoni would make a magic bra with a buncha stealth bonuses.

Am I giving magical boob support in Pathfinder too much thought, /pfg/?

Yeah I would like to make a wis based and a cha based archetype for witches.

The Witch of the World consider that her first duty is to her community, and she knows that psychology is more long lasting than mind magics, that healing knowledge is more raliable than healing magic.
Wis bssed magic and hexes, Witch Hat instead of Familiar, reduced choice in Patron, can gain small passive witchcrafts (EX) instead of patron spells.
Witchcrafts include first sight, second thoughts, skill abilities based on Heal, Intimidate, Diplomacy, Bluff and maybe Survival.

The Witch of the Circle (Disk doesn't work for naming purposes) is cha based, and about keeping boundaries. Between Life and Death, Lght and Dark, Here and Outside. Not sure what t do with them mechanically, I put most of the inspiration on the witch of the world. Maybe something with the aspects of Maiden, Mother and Crone and bonuses against fey/outsiders/aberrations

An apprentice city boy wizard is lost in the woods after a teleportation spell gone wrong. A silver bara daddy hunter save him, tend to his wound.

Maybe the rogue iconic gave her the idea. A cunning plan to hide Seoni boobs out of pure jealousy.

I think the gist isn't supposed to be that Patrons are GIVING them their magic, they're TEACHING it to them.
