Let's say you cast mage armor on someone with armor. Will they still receive the +4 AC vs incorporeal touch attacks or can they only use their useless armor?

iirc they're still a valid target and gain the benefits of mage armour, it's just the the main benefit is an armor bonus that won't stack with actual armour.

>>51726068
I kind of expected my campaign to be ending anyway because of other, unrelated reasons, but I wonder whether I should try to continue this campaign with my remaining players (I'll have at least one, maybe two or even three depending on what happens with my job-seeking player) and some new recruits, start this campaign over with either my old players and new recruits or just a complete set of new players, or if I should start a different campaign with my remaining players plus new recruits.

Any personal experiences or advice to help me decide?

>>51726397
Depends on what you're shooting for. If you're like, an archer fighter or Paladin? Hah, shooting. Then you can absolutely get away with it.

>>51726377
>It is the attitude that is more important than the gear

So what you're telling me is Protoman should be made for Wrath of the Righteous, where Mendev has been complacent to the demonic threat for too long? More interested in heroes for the martyrs they make than the change they bring?

>>51726397

12 Constitution on a d10 is adequate, and on a d12 it's great.

>>51726397
>How critical is to have 14 or better constitution with a martial
Pretty fucking critical

>>51726432
Protoman would also make a good antagonist for Hell's Rebels

>>51726377
Nevertheless, there's nothing wrong with wanting to have a megabuster.

>>51726420
If you still have 3 after all is said and done you could probably continue the campaign, but having 2 means less than half the players of the campaign remain, and with only 1 there's definitely no point.

>>51726397
If you are tanking or are the sole frontliner then con of or over 14 is preferred. If not, then you can get away with less con since there's plenty items that give CON, which is the primary source for health late game.

>>51726397

The only class that super duper wants anything more than a 14+ in Constitution is a Kineticist, because it sets how much Burn they can take and the DCs of some of their abilities. Otherwise, I would set 16 as the absolute maximum you need for your typical martial character. The higher their AC, the lower you can take this- Barbarians want a high constitution, while you can scoot by with a lower number if you're a Fighter or a Slayer (or a ranged build)

>>51726397

Hey PF/tg/

Talk to me about Golarion's capital Absalom. I don't own the Golarion Campaign setting and the wiki entries I find seem to be full of... frankly really unimportant fluff. It's the Pathfinder society's home, It's got a God Rock - which I know nothing about other than it makes you a gods some how.

And Hard Mode challenge: Please no "Clever" answers or one-liners, because that's why I'm asking. A lot of fellow players were making what sounded like jokes or meme-y shit about the place and I know really nothing about it.

>>51726397
Any class with less than 14 con is a walking corpse.

You can tell someone is a scrub if they get 12 just because theyre "ranged".

>>51726397
No. CON is your not-dying stat.

Is having 12 Wis, at least, necessary? Just how common are enemies/spells or situations where a single +1 is worth the price?

>>51726502

Absalom is the monument to all Paizo's sins, it is the culmination of long hours spent writing up backstory that will never get used, stories that will never be ran, locations that will never be seen. Absalom was built on the promise of being the focal point for a grand setting in a grand system.

And then it just... Nothing. Paizo discovered people cared about Varisia more than the Inner Sea, and with every companion book the focus seemed to shift on Cheliax, on Andoran, on Taldor or Qadira more than Absalom. The focus shifted away from the Pathfinders and more on APs, and even in Pathfinder Society you rarely go to Absalom.

>>51726548
>Is having 12 Wis, at least, necessary?

A class with a good Will save (aka, it starts with +2 at level 1) can get away with a 10 Wisdom, but something with a poor Will save should have 12 or ideally 14 Wisdom.

The ultimate functional fighter for Pathfinder using 25 Point Buy is 16 (+2), 13, 14, 12, 14, 10

>>51726517
Use warsoul instead, emulate the firearm and energy weapons (they're firearm category).

Soulbolt is actually really bad; ONLY go soulbolt if you're taking it straight into soul-archer PRC as soon as possible (this transforms it into composite-longbow using WIS, and is compatible with multiweapon-fighting).

>>51726575
>a basic fighter
>having 10 Cha

I may not like dumps, but that there looks dumb. Unless you're doing like, an oni-spawn tiefling or somethin'.

>>51726618

>I don't like dumps
>But you should dump

>>51726548
Come the mid levels you fucking struggle for every +1. You do not want to be the guy that bitches out of a fight just because you saw a spooky munmy or who freezes up for the rest of the fight just because you happened to look at a qlippoth.

>>51726364
Not in Pathfinder, but in Eclipse Phase I played an awakened AI in a robotic body who was essentially a "party mascot" and comedic relief character (the comedy arising from how awkwardly the character interacted with organic, "natural" beings and a few other quirks the character had such as a compulsion to always clean and polish its surroundings when idle).

Campaign never got far enough for anybody to realize it secretly thought everyone would be better off if we all merged into some sort of hiveminded mass intelligence akin to the TITANs, which for those who don't know the system or setting are basically rogue AIs kept self-improving until they were smarter than their creators and then caused the apocalypse before fucking off and disappearing to beyond the solar system for reasons nobody knows. The DM didn't know about that character motivation either, but only because I wasn't sure if I wanted to include that and the campaign ended before I had a chance to ask her if it's something we could work into the game or if she'd rather me not pursue that route since it could have lead to some drama.

>>51726397
My general rule is that if I expect to be on the frontlines of melee combat, I want a 14 in CON. If not, I want 12. I will cut anything short of my class' primary stat to make those numbers happen.

If you can use your FCB for HP though, then maybe you can get away with 12 CON on a frontliner. I'd still be looking to raise it when possible, but the problem is that you'd be wanting a STR or DEX belt more than a CON belt, so you better make sure you're starting with a level of CON you're comfortable with.

>>51726420
Yeah, that's pretty much exactly how I was thinking of it too.

>>51726660

By mid lvl, do you mean lvl 12 or sooner?

What's the cheapest reliable out-of-combat healing?
Is it really Boots of the Earth?
I'd love to load up on Wands of Infernal Healing, but my UMD is 0.

>>51726691
Around 10. And no, a wis headband and iron will doesnt cut it. If you have bad progression you will want a +will trait, iron will and 12 wis before items.

>>51726840
Clw. Infernal healing will piss off the rest of the party because youll be running down their min/level buffs.

>>51726840
wands of CLW

Seriously. You will burn though maybe 5 in your whole career.

Okay, well, what can I do to be able to use them, short of dipping a level in a divine casting class?

So i've been thinking lately that I really wanted to build a guy who focuses on brewing potions. Alchemist seems like the obvious choice, but at the same time, I feel like their "spell" list and general progression is lacking.

Is there a cool archetype or prestige class that gives some focus on potion brewing? Perhaps one that lets you brew above level 3 spells?

>>51726840
Wand of CLW is the basic bitch method, Boots of Earth (if your GM allows it) are indeed good, and if you have a Dhampir and someone with sneak attack in the party then an Anatomy Doll will be an amazing investment.

>>51726840
Having a Cleric or Oracle in the party. I know that just sounds like I'm being sassy, but I'm serious. If your party is really hurting regularly and you guys need a lot of healing, having a PC (or NPC for that matter) around who can help with it is very practical. I'm not suggesting anyone retire their current PC, but if somebody does die you might encourage them to look in that direction for their next character. You don't have to build HEALBOT 2000 MRK. IV to be able to cover your whole party's HP-related needs, you can do all the needed healing and still be focused on other stuff too.

>>51726897
>Is there a cool archetype or prestige class that gives some focus on potion brewing? Perhaps one that lets you brew above level 3 spells?

Artisan focusing on potions?

>>51726877
Ive eaten through two wands in one adventuring day. Though it was partially because I was the only one getting targetted because everyone else was getting killed in one full attack and the GM decided to let 70% of thr mobs attack me.

>>51726877
>you'll burn through maybe 5
>5.5 healed per casting on average
>50 charges
>only have to heal 1375 over a career
>in a party of 4 that's 344 per person
Don't know what kind of pansy ass game you're playing, you'll burn through closer to 20.

>>51726851

What about beginning at 10 at first lvl, and then increase it as you lvl up? You get two chances before lvl 10, right? Is it viable?

>>51726917
Guess I shoulda mentioned, DM doesn't allow 3rd party

>>51726889
Buy the wand and ask the guy with und to use it on you.

>>51726877
Not him, but I can't say this has been true in the campaign I've been running. I don't think I've been especially rough on my players, I give them CR appropriate encounters and a chance to rest between fights, but they're just three levels into my campaign and they're already chewing through their 3rd wand. I expect the problem would only get worse at higher levels, as the max HP and typical damage taken from a single attack increases.

>>51726940
>Buy the wand and ask the guy with und to use it on you.
We don't have a UMD guy. My 10 CHA is the highest in the party.

>>51726083
They're either very feminine-faced dudes, or those are chin-plates. They're quite clearly not facial hair on a girl, because their coloration is wrong.

How do I become the most deadly martial artist in pathfinder?

>>51726960
Be a wizard and deliver disintegrate as a melee touch attack

>>51726925
I play in a game where we level up every other month or so, meaning there are probably four fights per level, because we roleplay a lot.

>>51726927
Your ability bumps are worth more if you pump your highest stat. Just cut back on your highest stat for now you little bitch.

>>51726960

Be level 20 with 10 mythic ranks.

>>51726951
Pragmatic activator or buy +skill items.

Can I use Marvelous Pigments to make food, booze, etc.?
Like, is it within the capacity of the item to let me draw a table with a feast for 6 people on it and have it all be delicious?

>>51726968
Ok, how do I actually do it with martial arts rather than just casting a spell?

3pp is on the table for the most part. However I'm not really looking for the extremely SU PoW disciplines.

>>51727082
Fool's Errand + Mithril Current
Grab Flowing Mithral Fist and Quicksilver Grip.
Become that one guy who keeps his hands in his pockets/sleeves between attacks.
Entirely EX and anime as fuck to boot.

>>51727082
Pick a class with scaling unarmed strike like monk brawler or sacred fist then build it properly.

Yo, this Training enchantment is sick.
Anything else good in there?

>>51726960
The unchained monk is lethal as fuck. Dragon style, pummeling charge, flying kick, elbow strike.

>>51727062
Should be, yeah. That's like one of the first things I thought to do with the item when I saw it, though I think there are probably a lot of even more creative uses for the stuff.

>>51726553
Interesting, but pretty sparse on the description of the place itself.

>>51726387

>>51726960

What's the most common gold stat. What is the most common dump stat?

>>51727259
Yea that is just bullshit and I don't recommend it.

Plus not being dependent on a weapon is really good.

Don't ignore grappling ether. While the CMD of about half of the monster manual is in the "lol don't even try" levels, abundant step combined with improved grapple can just end encounters against the right opponents.

I like 5e because it lets my more "normie" friends play tabletops in a simple, straightforward, pick-up-and-go way. Plus I don't really have to worry about anyone being effective there, I can just run a game and everyone's happy.

I like Pathfinder because of its huge selection of options to sift though, the semi-compatibility with 3.5, and the ability to make really weird or mechanically-bizarre characters that create an intriguing exercise in figuring out "okay, so where does this character fit into the setting where it doesn't just make sense, but it's perfect for it?"

>>51727376
Unironically, Lunge is a decent option because it helps with your AoOs. If you've got access to 3.5, Stormguard Warrior is sickeningly-good.

So for Wrath of the Raunchy I had the Black Iron Knight Anti-paladin Initiating Archetype approved. However now I am at an impasse.

One side of my Gestalt has already been decided as a Primalist Steelblooded Destined Bloodrager.

The other side is between two Anti-paladin Archetypes. The Insinuator and the Black Iron Knight.

The Insinuator would allow me to smite demons using Smite Impudence, invoking Inevitables. It also means I radiate a LN aura rather than a LE aura. Insinuator takes away spell casting, but gives bonus combat feats. I would use these for Martial Training for a bit of initiating on the side.

Black Iron Knight nets me more skill ranks, some neat features, initiating, but loses me Smite.

So my question here is, which should I go for in the end? Insinuator, grabbing some initiating on the side, or Black Iron Knight, and give up Smite?

I had something similar to this, but it was because my character was a noble from a part of the world where polygamy was relatively normal. He was marrying into the most powerful military family on the continent specifically marrying into 3 branch families at once. He came from the shit hole of the nation, but had ambition and more than a bit of insanity.

Apparently my GM approved of my ambitions, two of the women he planned on marrying loved him because of his ambitions, the other was because the two of them had similar personal histories and could relate to each other.

My character ended getting caught up into a conspiracy that had apparently pulling the strings of his family for the last 1000 or so years, his ancestors being manipulated by an ancient crone and the maggots inhabiting the corpse of a dead deity. He was unravelling clues left by his ancestors as to what the hell was happening.

It was an odd game. He thought, for the longest time, that he and his father were the last living members of his family. However he found out his father's older sister had gone into hiding, and that the crone was harboring his own younger sister. The crone was an ancient powerful hag who had been interbreeding with the family for generations as a means of manipulation and control.

He also found his family's ancestral artifact, a tattoo shared with up to 12 members of the family named Crashing Dawn. However he had no idea what it did or how it worked, he merely had part of it transferred to him.

His plan required him to leave the country for a while to territory that had been owned by his family hundreds of years ago, during the conquest that his family rose to power during. He was chasing several nursery rhymes about his ancestor, one he thought might be able to give him a clue as to who the maggot god's corpse used to be and to its motivations.

He himself had earned the title of The Last Raven, his family's crest being that of a raven.

Hellfire has a percentage chance of sending a target straight to hell.

It's why the spell is evil.

>>51728541

>>51728504

S-Surely they just ripped her in half... Right?

>>51728584

I like to think merely being struck by hellfire is terrible, like it ignites your soul and sets it to smoulder within, and the harder you fortify your soul with virtuous or selfish deeds the stronger the smoulder grows, like adding fuel to the fire.

In other words, the more you level up the more it hurts.

>>51728525
Problem with the hick giants is that they're like 40k Orks in that you can't really give them any real payback. They just don't experience pain and discomfort in the same way as normal people do and they are too dumb for anything more complex.

Your PC is pretty much going to be on the losing end if you get too emotionally invested in clearing out vermin.

>>51728641
>Your PC is pretty much going to be on the losing end if you get too emotionally invested in clearing out vermin.

This.

Hill Giants need to be viewed with the same kind of disgust you have for Demons, or for a festering wound - there's no point in getting mad at them because hating a wound isn't going to heal it (same with demons, they kinda get off on it actually.) Carve out the problem, staunch the wound, and move on.

It's why Mendev is having so much fucking trouble with the Worldwound, honestly. They're fortifying something that's indefensible, trying to lay siege to the unsiegable. Demons simply don't *operate* like a traditional enemy, you stab one and their aether just goes back to the Abyss and reforms for another go.

Doesn't help the leader of the Worldwound is Deskari, the Demon Lord of Hordes.

>>51728641
Yeah, even if the Graul are half ogre humans they are so fucked up by the ogre genes that their retarded brains work like those of a sociopath or psychopath.
Thr mac exponent is Mama Graul, she kills any girl that could prevent her of keeping her own sons of being her sex mates and she even rise three of her boys as zombies to keep fucking them. This even eclipses the fact she uses her own waste and the rotten remains of her victims for pictorial art.

>Once soul-shakingly beautiful, the nymph princess Myriana is now a haggard, ghostly horror. Her disembodied arms float at her sides, exposed bone and sinew stretching toward her torso but ever too far out of reach.

>>51728798
>How long does it takes a Tiefling to reach adulthood?

Same as any other member of their host race.

>What's their natural lifespan?

Shit, I think it's something like 150?

>>51728823

This was back when Paizo actually had balls to write horrifying bullshit. This happened in the third book of Rise of the Runelords, the second book features a murder cult that enjoys flaying people alive, and the first book features an insane Aasimar teenage girl that wants to become the bloated pregnancy vessel for Lamashtu after getting knocked up by a noble punk and having a monster abortion.

>>51728798
That's like asking "what color is a mongrel", tieflings are a classification rather than a species but as the offspring of immortals they by default have lifespans comparable to elves.

>>51728849
>I wonder how you could do this with demons?

Demons are supposed to be *worse* than Hill Giants.

And yet you go to the Worldwound in Wrath of the Righteous and everything's squeaky clean, family friendly and "written by committee" diverse.

>>51728609
You can't bring someone back to life against their will

>>51728798
According to the rules they have a lifespan closer somewhere between dwarves and elves (tieflings reach adulthood at 60 years). But, there have been NPCs who had a human lifespan.

In general, Tieflings are weird inhuman monsters, so it makes sense that some might grow up faster than normal and others might grow up slower than normal. I would steer clear of anything involving them (or Aasimar) beyond broad generalities.

It's also important to keep their humanoid ancestry in mind. While you have the same statistics regardless of what race your humanoid parent was, I think by and large you should have a similar lifespan and growth rate.

So a tiefling born to human parents would have a human lifespan and a human growth rate. One born to elves would have an elven one. And then of course individual tieflings may grow older faster, or slower, than that rate depending on what the GM thinks is best for their particular game.

What are fun "one-on-one" battles? I've been wanting to do something like that, splitting the party up and have them fight against a similar-but-not-quite opponent.

Insinuators have a different flavor. Their code of conduct is different:
>An insinuator must always work toward his own self-interest, enrichment, or glory, and must also abide by the moral strictures of whatever outsider they have chosen to invoke that day (see invocation below). If the insinuator breaks an invoked outsider’s code, he cannot invoke outsiders of that same alignment until he seeks atonement, although outsiders of other alignments may still heed his call.
I have to fallow a LN code or a TN code most of the time and radiate those auras. Also the Insinuator is a class founded on heroics for the sake themselves.

Literally the article describing the crusades says there are thousands of people who rush the crusades when they are called for this exact purpose.

Okay, I can see your logic. That's all fine and dandy on paper, but here's the thing: You're still playing an Antipaladin. You're playing a class required to be evil. The more hoops you jump through and more arguments you throw up, the more suspicious you're going to sound. People who prefer not to play with "bad guys" will still feel suspicious of you. And if there's a Paladin in the party--of which there are several also applying--you're probably going to need to reconfigure your character.

You need to make absolutely sure you pitch this guy as a good team player, as a helpful and useful ally, and as a *person* rather than as his class/race combo.

>And if there's a Paladin in the party--of which there are several also applying--you're probably going to need to reconfigure your character.
Why though? For the entire crusades I don't detect as evil and have to act LN because I'm negotiating with inevitables for the ability to smite demons.

Like I said, he's gone up north to become a hero king. Killing your allies does not make you a hero. He wants his banner to fly the highest and shine the brightest among the thousands at the crusades. His party members are friends and allies to help him on his path to immortality atop the annals of history as the man who closed The World Wound.

Sir Rubio Redgrave. Ruthless swordsman, Order of the Cockatrice, and knight of Asmodeus.

He stormed out of town and returned to the fold where his grandparents had foolishly tried to turn their backs on the winning side.

However I must ask. I never read Berserk. I was under the impression Griffith sold his soul to demons or some such, which wouldn't be in theme for this character.

That's sort of true. He made a deal with demons to become part of their evil pantheon and gain power...but the problem was that he was basically just showing his true colors.

He'd always been power-hungry and focused on the goal of becoming a king, and had been ruthless in his efforts to get it, backstabbing and playing people against each other, even admitting that he didn't think of anyone as an actual friend or equal. In the end, he only cared about himself, and was obsessive about keeping anyone from denying him what he wanted--hence how he broke down when Guts left the Band of the Hawk and ended up in a downward spiral that got him imprisoned.

He couldn't bear living once he'd been crippled and disfigured, since that meant the end of his dream, and so when the God Hand offered him a place in their group, he went along with it.

Okie dokie, this is basically my unchained magus rough draft. Notable changes include:
>removed wording from spell combat that states it functions like TWF, because it McFucking doesn't, and that's just confusing
>Arcane pool can be refreshed by meditating for 10 minutes (don't have to jew it as much and can spend it on fun stuff rather than optimal stuff)
>Changed a few magus arcana. Biggest ones are Pool Strike and Pool Ray, which are now viable alternatives to shocking grasp and snowball respectively
>Proficient with heavy armor and medium armor from the start, because why the fuck weren't they in the first place
>Bonus feats at 5 and every 5 after because it's still a goddamn martial

Feedback and shitposting welcome.

Aranha The Queen of the Golden Hive

She transformed into a bee. And kidnapped entire villages to turn into honey to transform herself into a proper queen with a hive. The hive expands as the queen produces more mutant beepeople who kidnap more people for more honey. Rinse and repeat.

>>51729753
Oh shit and I forgot the big one
>Gains an arcana at 1st level, mostly in an effort to accomodate alternative fighting styles like TWF and Two-handed fighting, since those are available as arcana now.

So I'm fiddling with the idea of actually not having 10 AC by level 20 this time around since my wizard won't be getting mirror image or displacement.

Can someone check if I'm missing anything here?
Enduring armor +13, Shield +4, Ring of Prot +5, Amulet of nat armor +5, Dex +4, Riven hourglass stance +4 dodge, Haste +1 dodge, Protector aid another +2 for a total of 48 AC which seems kind of pathetic for its tier.

Is there anything else I can take without significant cost? I realize counters will probably do all the heavy lifting but I may as well be aware of my options.

GIB

>>51729864
Not yet. It's something I essentially shat out in 10 minutes. I'm just tossing it out there to see where I need to adjust.

I'm considering stuff for sword and board as well beyond just "durr you can use a shield and spell combat at the same time", but I'm not sure if I want to do that with arcana or an archetype.

>>51729886
Shield bashing can emulate a dispel effect and you can block spells(fireball/etc) with it.

Are there any neat third party things for Paladins?

So question, I got a week or two before I gotta finish handing in my Character for my first run of Pathfinder. I'll be playing an Alchemists, But what do I really need to pick up/get to really to make my bombs have the finest explosions?

>>51729735

>>51730042
Precise bombs is excellent. Frost bombs, grease bombs and stink bombs are absolutely ridiculous as well. Stink bombs have a prerequisite, but it's worth it to shut down everything ever that fails its save.

After the initial "eeey nice" bit, first impression is "it's not breaking anything, but the overall power is still shifted up". It's not going to shatter the game over its knee but it's a very obvious bump upwards. Right off the bat
>Fighter Training should stay the way it was, and be something you get later instead of right off the bat
>Armored Caster and the extra Bonus feats on top of Arcana buffs is way overboard, especially with the fighter training
>Enduring Blade Arcana should probably go to 10 minute increments instead of one hour increments on the first grab, considering how big of a leap it is
>Pool Strike is still BTFO, but it looks less garbage so that's a + I guess

What are the best early level feats for a Hunter to have? Going for cavalry towards mid level.

The Alliance kind of gets shat on by Blizzard because they're massive Horde fanboys (gotta love that BOC, right?) So the greatest thing to happen to the Alliance since Sliced Bread kind of gets killed off for absolutely no reason.

Ehhh.

He's been getting weaker and weaker all this time, and now he doesn't even have the Doomhammer anymore. A bit off topic, but thought I'd mention.

...actually, /pfg/, how would you stat the Doomhammer? Not long enough to be an Earth Breaker.

Quick question about the cavalier.

While there's skill checks and all to make it a pretty decent party face, does the class do fucking ANYTHING in combat besides the super-death-charge? My friends keep trying to make a cool one and it keeps falling into the same combat rut.

It's an earth breaker by normal people standards. The standards of people who don't outsize fucking space marines.

>>51730207
Isn't its entire point to be the party face and charge nonstop?

>>51729855
I'm pretty sure a couple of those don't stack.

>>51730207
Depends on what archetype you take. It's a charge-pounce-charge kind of class normally, but something like Daring Champion (yeah, I know, >swashbuckler and shit) is decent for a different role.

>>51730042
For low levels (1-5) Frost Bomb is amazing. Being able to force someone to also save vs being staggered is great. It continues to scale as you level, and if you pick up Fast Bombs you can shut someone down very nicely.

Precise bomb is nice so you don't accidentally catch your party members in the splash effect. Then grab Explosive Bomb to give your bombs a splash radius of 10 feet instead of just 5 (without precise bombs you would absolutely be catching party members in that).

Entangling Bomb is another one worth considering - your bombs turn into scaling Tanglefoot bags (if the target fails the save they're glued to the floor, but even if they make the save they and everyone in the spash area who fails their save suffers -2 on attacks, -4 to dex and move at half speed).

>>51730207
Cavalier can do perfectly fine without the deathcharge. Challenge is fucking great and you can use it on anything. And heck, if you've got any kind of Charisma, you can squeeze multiples of more uses out of it with Chain Challenge

>>51730086
You sure? I'm there...

Point is, I need to know if you'll be showing up tonight.

>>51730236
They all stack. Its armor, shield, deflection, natural, dex, dodge, dodge & competence to AC.

>>51730286

Would someone really do this? Go on the internet and tell lies?

Huh. You weren't joking.

>>51729855
10 start.
Heavy shield +4 should be worth 6
5 deflection from ring of protection
5 natural from amulet
4 dodge from riven stance
+1 dodge from haste stacks
+1 insight from the ioun stone
we're at 32.

Enduring Armor gives +13
And dexterity: What was your stat? If it was 14 that's +2, plus 4 from a decent belt so that's now +4, and +4 inherent for +6, perhaps?

You'd be up to 51 before protector aid.

>>51730194
It's statted in the RPG as a +5 Lightning Burst Warhammer that gives a couple of SLAs, let me see if I can find the specifics.

>>51730246
>>51730067
Thanks guys, This is a real big help. Anything else I should pick up? Outside of just those bomb perks?

>>51730400
Its still kind of shit. I guess AC is just a sucker's game come the higher levels.

So in the module I want to run, I notice it gives a intelligent sword as a reward, but doesn't give the sword the ability to speak. Instead if can communicate to it's wielder feelings or emotions.

Now, does this mean the sword can only receive similar feelings back? Or does the sword understand language, but just can't speak itself?

>>51730454
A lot of discoveries are pretty good, so it really just boils down to HOW you want to have fun. Tumor familiar is fantastic because familiars are fantastic, never mind familiars made of flesh that can get fast healing 5 AND attach themselves to you to avoid harm. Really, it's one of the few classes where the shitty options are obvious and the good options are fun.

>>51730471
It should have senses in its profile.

>>51730454
Depends on how you want to build. Do you want to build your alchemist as a bomber? Or do you want to focus more on mutagen? Or do you want to be middle of the road at both? Are you taking any archetype?

The Alchemist has a ton of possible build options and has one of the most versatile class chassis. Depending on what you want to focus on, there are a lot of different things that you might want to focus on.

>>51730498
Whoops, thanks

>>51730464
ah, you learn, young asshopper. you learn.
miss chances, and ways to remove the attack's own chance of being done in the first place, are meant to combine with these defenses.
Mid 40s is a fine place to get. That'll make the median of high CRs still miss you about half the time. Try to attain 50 and you're expending a lot of "build" (cash, abilities, etc etc etc) to get very little return.

Supplement it all with miss chances, with mirror images, with force spheres, with not being there to begin with, and so on and so forth. Better only 80% of 50% of hits get through to you than 100% of 40%, right?

Now hold up, before you say wrong; the former's a lot easier and cheaper to get than the latter. And THAT is the better you will need.

>>51730540
I wanted to go the Bomber route and once I had used up all of the daily allotted amount of Bombs, to switch to a Cross Bow. As its my first time, I'm not sure how or what Archetype was going with.

I DO know When I reached the lives I wanted to Make resurrection potions, use Permanent on it and sell them. I really wanna cheat death as much as possible.

>>51729855
Except that 48 AC is already optimal for level 20. CR 20 enemies' high attack is +30, enemies don't start to get a 50% hitrate on that until CR 26.
Skin of the Defender is another +4 that stacks with Amulet, and there's a variety of ways to get +1 insight to AC, getting you to 53. On top of that, you can always get your familiar a set of benevolent armor so that its aid another bonus gets boosted.
