REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>53160282
None yet, but here's hoping.

>>53160282
Some Thassilonian ruins, more Thassilonian ruins, other Thassilonian ruins, some extra Thassilonian ruins, an extra dimensional Thassilonian ruins and a golden city which is now Thassilonian ruins. We have faced wizards, wizards, wizards, wizards, wizards and I am going to guess we will in the end face at least one more wizard. Also giants. As for traps we had magical wizard traps, magical wizard traps, magical wizard traps, magical wizard traps, magical wizard traps and not any traps yet, but I am going to assume magical wizard traps.

>>53160420
I guess that's the skyrim generation for you.

>>53160503
Elaborate.

>>53160616
Skyrim's map is has a shitton of ruins that look almost exactly the same.

Is Swirling Panoply really an archetype ability and not a bladeskill?

so i have been recruited into a pathfinder game, never played it before (I played a few month long game of 3.5 D&D like 4 years ago, im mostly familiar with 5e though)

Im thinking of playing oracle because the group needs a healer, am i crippling myself? is there a better healer to play?

>>53160698
You do realize that I was giving a tongue in cheek explanation of Rise of the Runelords which was published 3 years before Skyrim in it's original release?

Where the hell are the Lysander Logs???

>>53160734
Vitalists are better.
Oracles, much like Clerics, get far far greater mileage out of their spells by NOT healing.

See, you can't really outheal shit in this game without some very specific, very special builds. This is compounded by the fact that Cure Serious Wounds does nothing if the fighter got crit clean *past* the negatives. It would be a lot better if he hadn't died, instead.

But, defenses? miss chances? battlefield control? dead enemies?

All of those drastically reduce the amount of damage your friends take, making healing a far easier and cheaper proposition after the fact.

>>53160776
the only good heal spell in Pathfinder proper is Heal because of its flat instant heal.

>>53160737
I'm not him, just explaining.

Tell me about the character you found the most fun to play, /pfg/. Be it gameplay or roleplay-wise.

An evil cleric of calistria uses a magic scepter to mind control all the local villages women into becoming his unwilling brides. Upon barging into his private chambers, he offers you a deal; let him continue in his forced polygamy, and he will 'give' half of his following to you, to do with as you please. You even can choose which races you want. Do you take it? Do you haggle? Do you cut your way through with a machete like it was walmart during rush hour?

>>53160776
much appreciated anon

>>53160828

First off, holy shit. Second off, village women won't be that pretty. Thirdly, NO, STOP THAT.

>>53160828
Yeah but why wouldn't I just kill him and take them all for myself?
Or more importantly why would I care about him when I play girls and there's a much better man waiting for me?

>>53160828
Dude they're fucking used goods. You've got him down to rights, and sloppy seconds is the best he's got to offer you? You'd get all of them if he's dead anyways.

He dies. The victims, doesn't matter.

His daughters though you take with you and once they're old enough you make them yours.

>>53160815
I played a skeleton who was a huge milk autist
Like imagine a /g/ linux hipster (and I mean a complete hipster, not just someone who uses oobunto or Arch), a /v/ guy on CASUAL GAYMAN and an /a/ on moeshit, and combine them all and you approach his autism and elitism when it came to milk.

>>53160889
Because scores of innocent lives are between you and stcking distance of the evil cleric, and he WILL make them fight you.

>>53160912
Yeah well I've been hiding this but actually
I'm Lawful Evil

>>53160912

They're Commoners, you could eat the -4 for nonlethal and still one shot each.

>>53160815
An extremely flamboyant half-drow Mesmerist who took item crafting feats and the Drow Nobility line. Horribly unoptimized, and in a campaign with a lot of things that would resist his spells, but he was so flamboyant and gaudy in everything he did that it was just too damn fun to replace him.

>>53160923
Doesn't nonlethal still become lethal after a certain point
Can't you die from Massive Damage even if it's nonlethal

>>53157408
Well that's like... You being a bad b8, man.

>>53158203
>>53158254
What happens when you stop going full tard on "monster races" and you just say "dude we're the ones making fantasy here let's make them actual cool"

Outback gangs of Mad Max gnolls in jorts playing heavy metal and cackling

None of that "gnolls are smelly XP" trash

>>53160828
I would not even let him finish speaking before I stab the guy followed by calling your mother to talk about how much of a disappointment you have become.

>>53160934
all nonlethal past your maximum HP overflows into lethal.

Say you have 50HP. You can take 50 nonlethal. If you had 40 left due to wounds, you're unconscious after just taking 40 nonlethal, but only after 50 do you start taking lethal. You eventually will die.

Creatures with regeneration simply continue gaining nonlethal, not turning it lethal. However, should regeneration be shut down at any moment, They might die or explode into a bloody mist from too much nonlethal converting on the spot.

>>53161060
So you can take a total of 100 nonlethal if you have 50 HP, am I reading this right? Or you can take 50 nonlethal and 50+CON nonlethal before you die?

>>53161074
You can take 50 nonlethal. Anything past that becomes lethal.

So if someone with 50 max HP takes 75 lethal, he's at -25 with nonlethal and thus unconscious, but he's also at 25/50 on his real HP (like if the nonlethal heals up from the 'sleep' and he wakes up).

So 100 nonlethal puts him at 0 for real. 100+CON nonlethal will kill you, unless you have regeneration.

If you have regeneration, and you've taken 300 nonlethal, you're unconscious for a damn long time. However if someone did, say, 1 point of fire damage and your regen shuts down from fire it's not "Being at -301" that does you in, but the fact that your real HP TRULY just attained -256

>>53160934
I think those are Suffocation rules.
>>53160923
Interesting solution! I doubt the cleric would just allow this, but whether he fights or flees, things are bound to get messy.
>>53160921
so am I.
>>53160877
Its just a question of ethics brah.

>>53160934
>Doesn't nonlethal still become lethal after a certain point

Then hit them without Power Attack?

>>53160815
Was a 4e character, but he was Sir Rodrick Artosh, the Undying

His backstory was that he was one of the only survivors of the bloodiest siege in living memory. Neither side got the advantage after the walls fell so they just kept killing and killing till only a few dozen remained. He says he saw the reaper himself as he lay there, bleeding under the sun, and spat in his face. He ended up in a temple to recover, where instead of funding inner peace, he found himself tormented with the fear of his own mortality, reminded of it every day by the scars on his chest. So he began training, and dueling, and crushing everyone who would fight him to prove his own strength.

If the game had continued, he would have begun amassing magic items to immunize him against the subtle threats, to guard himself on the path to godhood.

Absolute barrel of fun to demand the orc warchief duel you one on one. If 4e had had any semblence of balance for 1v1 fights, I would have won too. I was level 4 I think, and dealt about two hundred damage in three turns to him, and only bloodied him before he crushed me.

Some new stuff about Eox

http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/227829/exclusive-sci-fi-rpg-starfinder-announces-undead-planet-images/

Bone themed, airless ships crewed by undead, importing corpses, alien radiation monsters that eat the essence of living and undead alike, paranoid Bone Sages being infiltrated by usurpers.

>>53160828
I would punch the DM.

>Eoxian starship designs reflect their builders’ unique needs and aesthetics. Most Eoxian ships resemble elaborate bone structures or the corpses of vast creatures, though this is partially an illusion, as much of the bone is actually more advanced materials sculpted into their morbid shapes. Such ships are designed specifically for the undead, with large portions of the hull left open to space, no galleys or heads, and tight-packed workstations in which the crew might be expected to stand at their posts for weeks without moving. All of this makes Eoxian ships extremely difficult to take down in combat, and this is particularly of the massive Thaumtech Omenbringer illustrated here, a carrier ship loaded with squadrons of nimble necrogliders.

>>53161057
Dialing back the cancer, I was mostly just curious how you might deal with an enemy npc who uses innocents to defend themselves. Perhaps even going as far as the 'living baby armor' thing.

>>53161302
In that case: It's a calistrian protected by an army of mooks. Assuming that this isn't a plot village their levels will average at 3 or so. I would just bullrush/overrun through them and go for a good old fashioned Grand Theft Auto Return Policy on the cleric.

>>53161225
Isn't that more Eldar than Necron? I mean, wraithbone is their thing.

>>53161302
Brainwashed harem? Charge through, overrun, bull rush and reposition your way through the crowd. Jump or fly over, teleport past them, etc.

Living armor? Called shots. Magic that doesn't need to hit to work, just runs on saves. Grapple. Chime of Opening to undo everything holding the hostages in place.

>>53161302
Then several tactics there, Anon

1. One of us has a skill or competence applicable to solve this
2. I will pretend to accept his offer and leave. Then I'll come back more prepared when he isn't expecting it.
3. I will blast through to him. This is typical evil logic to believe being good means you're a pansy and therefore you can get away with such garbage blackmail. Innocents are bound to die, but I'm confident enough in my cause and humble enough in my pride to accept this. They will learn not to do that and next time they'll find other methods that aren't hiding behind others.

Wraith bone is more hocus pocus mind powers that are arguably not actually dead while Necron's are more technobabble and are straight dead too which is more fitting.

Thanks for the food for thought. Im looking to design a final fight to preemptively conclude a game, and this might do the trick.

How does one go about getting as much psychic strike dice as possible?

There's the one bladeskill for +1d8, but what else?

Am rageblade if that helps

>>53161528
If you're building the encounter I can also recommend my own plan for enemies that wear hostages. If an attack misses by less than 5, there's a 50% chance to hit the hostage. Flanking them reduces this to 20%. Unless they have more hostages than just one in front, but might save that situation for later.

I just justified penguin style camoflauge on my mini-dragons for my smut game

Wist got creepered by us.

We are starting RotRL next week with a 3 person party. To make up for the lack of a 4th player the DM has allowed us to take a free VMC.

I'm unsure of the VMCs of the others, but 1 is a wizard, and the other is a paladin. So I was thinking some kind of high damage melee class with some utility, so maybe a Slayer or Sanctified Slayer Inquisitor with VMC Rogue?

Any advice?

Wist is a huge hardsub. Hardsubs don't get creepered.

Is it worth getting Intelligence 13 so you can get combat feats as an archer-paladin, or should I just stick with 12?

t. I don't even know any other big names that would fit here so I'll just use "redditor"

What if to make Magus less about one spell on repeat, we loosened up the circumstances for using your weapon on spells? Its spell list is actually very wizardy, they're just disincentivised to use it by multiple factors like no feature interaction and poor save DCs.

>Spellstrike can deliver any spell you want outside Personal range ones - even get a feature for discluding your space from AoEs, so you can Fireball at point-blank like a cool dude
>You can still benefit from casting through your sword at range - add weapon enhancement bonus to RTAs and save DCs! you're a slow progression caster so it's not a big deal
>Later get the ability to attack EVERYONE you hit with an AoE spell within like 15ft of you, or even instantaneous tele-slashes to each distant target like FFTA2's Magick Frenzy ability
>split options of using Dex for any one-hander's damage OR getting to add Strength to good things (would concentration and SR checks be enough? Something more drastic, or defense-salvaging like Str to energy resist/DR after a spell?)

If you can't be consistent enough to obey the laws of physics you're an autist that can't build a world.

>>53161973
It's a start.

The problem is the spell list.

Wiz/SOrc was not designed to have reduced progression, you get some things way too late and some things things that you get you would never use due to the cost.

The issue is similar for the warpriest, but the warpriest gets other things to make up for it, as well as having most of the good cleric self-buffs be first or second level spells.

I think that you just need to re-work the magus class entirely.

I'm not sure if it needs it's own spell list or a different spell progression. Maybe it gets a pool of spells it casts like a sorcerer and can cast some other spells like a wizard.

>>53161988
I've been here since we were still 4chan.net, and I'll still be here when you're long gone. Your shitposting changes nothing, and you're not even good at it.

>>53162000
Have you considered that the "laws of physics" describe reality as applicable to that world, and not as universally to our own? According to you magic of any sort is automatically grounds for being bad worldbuilding.

>>53161988
"LOL guys we're playing a pathfinder game lmao xD look at our logs lol Wist meme QANON x Vult topkek"

holy shit

>>53162022
>According to you magic of any sort is automatically grounds for being bad worldbuilding
No, what I mean is, if you make rules, they have to be consistent.

You either have everyone with giant swords or you don't bother making additional rules for "dex-based swords".

Swordplay is not something you can invent. Nobody swings his weapon like a retard leaving himself exposed. Swordplay has always been about dexterity, in fact where the strong people went was in archery, where they took only the tallest and the strongest.

And all that, you can't invent, because it's based on common sense. Even if the rules were about giant swords, I wouldn't swing mine around if I could do a much quicker move and stab through your heart with it.

>>53161988
But the game is actually the best part and not the lewd? They used to be posting greentexts of the session proper and it seemed pretty rock solid

>>53162074
'cept it isn't based on common sense because a lot of the reasons things are what they are is due to human "stats". Mind you I don't like STR being king either.

>>53162096

Reminder that Vult was literally trying to desmut his homebrew and build the mechanics properly and got shut down and called a creepy rapist, for trying to discuss actual pathfinder rules and uses.

>inb4 good, fuck Vult

>>53162096
Yes, but that's why I said it was designed by autists.

Copying earlier autists with no notion of actual fights.

Dexterity should always be here if you're wielding even a two-handed sword. Which are much lighter than people know.

>>53162080
Can't they make a fucking private thread

This is Pathfinder GENERAL, not Pathfinder Specific Game .

>>53162120
I have no idea who the fuck is Vult, why we're talking about him, and why it should be a good idea to keep talking about a thing half the population has no way to catch up on. Nor the will.

>>53161896
That's unfortunately the most likely scenario.

>You can fire this laser cannon every other round if you have 3 crew with you on your one man fighter!

>OR you could just use your bow, dealing as much damage per hit, five times per round, for one less feat, and a lower piloting DC somehow.

Why is grapple so fucking powerful? Half of the monsters in the monster manual just insta-lose against one moderately competent grappler.

>>53162147
>Can't they make a fucking private thread
No, you get to deal with it.

>>53162187
Because you haven't gotten to the part where you face huge and larger creatures all the time or casters with freedom of movement or contingencies out the vazoo.

>>53162187
and the other half insta-win against a completely optimized one.

>>53162147
>I have no idea who the fuck is Vult, why we're talking about him, and why it should be a good idea to keep talking about a thing half the population has no way to catch up on. Nor the will.
Because he was demonstrating a homebrew and people like you who witchhunt autistically told him to FUCK OFF REEEE.

>>53162232
>>53162233
Well yea, it ether wins or it doesn't, but one combat method, costing like 1 or maybe 2 feats total, can just insta-win against most of the monster manual. Very little actually has freedom of movement as a spell.

>>53162147
This isn't the players talking though, its thirsty anons who didnt get in. The players have a private discord. This is just shitposting.

Alright, so from a previous thread some ideas to homebrew were thrown around. Here's what we have:
>Brawler that channels spirits to get feats
>Initiating Spiritualist, Mesmerist, Occultist, Slayer, Swashbuckler, Hunter, Skald, Ninja, Antipaladin, and Roil Dancer that isn't tied to Kinetic Blade
>Monk that can use anything as a sword
>Invulnerable Baker
>Holy Cavalier
>Lard Lighter Puneticist

>>53162239
>witchhunt autistically
He isn't demonstrating a homebrew right now

>>53162290
That's fucking good to know but that doesn't solve the problem of what they're actually doing.

Man this is just pathetic, they should get a life.

>>53162147
I'll sum it up for you.
>Puella Librum Daemonium is a gritty dark souls/berserk game of surviving monster attacks and political intrigue
>Also monster rape, everyone knew this going in
>Controversial both for the rape aspect and for the GM, Vult, being publicly blunt and rude to others
>But it gets really good applications, guess sex sells
>Sessions run and apparently the non rape parts are solid and comfy
>Some rape scene logs are posted to the thread

Congrats, you're in the know now!

>>53162314
have you considered that you should get a life too instead of shitposting about something you have no control over and never will have any control over?

>>53162147
>This is Pathfinder GENERAL, not Pathfinder Specific Game .
We talk about more than one specific game, which is more on topic than your incessent whining. Fuck off.

>>53162074
That part about dexterity reminds me of that one sword style from a wuxia novel. It was called Nine Swords of Dugu, and was pretty awesome. Not only was it speed based, the characteristic of said swordplay was that every move was unique to the user but it always involved winning out on trades. That is to say, visually it'd look like it'd result in a mutual kill but the one using Nine Swords of Dugu would always land their strike first.

Tell me about the little things your character does to remind yourself and the other players that they're adventuring in a setting roughly analogous to High Medieval!

Does your character think silk is impossibly exotic? Do they boil their meat? Do they only have two meals a day, or consider things like coffee and pepper to be luxury goods fit for a Taldan king?

Except I am. Talking about PF games is actually on topic, no matter how cringey you think it is, while complaining about horseshit you don't like in MY THREAD XDDD is not on topic. I said that and your only argument is "no you're a virgin beta that's why you mad". Your only defense against witchhunting someone demonstrating a homebrew is 'w-well he's not here right now!" You tell people to stop talking about specific PF games when that is certainly allowed. You, my man, are the one who is cancer, disrupting threads, and baically being incredibly obnoxious. Have you realized how nobody but me at this point is even bothering to respond to you?

GUITAR RIFF GOES HERE

I'm making a halfling bard and I want some advice.
Should I give him a shortbow or a starknife with the way of the shooting star divine fighting technique?
The bow one can attack more more reliably because of rapid shot and many shot and it'll have longer range, but the starknife will be much more SAD with charisma, a little more accurate, and so a good deal more damage.

I recommend divine fighting. Being CHA SAD also benefits your casting and skills because you can afford to get your CHA really high.
When you're 3/4 BAB without class features to boost it, your investment in archery will never really be worth it, especially if precise and point blank shot feat taxes aren't waived.

At the risk of sounding like I approve of what Paizo's doing, FTL taking a trip through Hell has been a common enough trope in Science-Fiction.

Personally, I'd rather be on the ship whose FTL takes you through Heaven.

>>53162816
People might argue it happened with Rise of the Jade Regent, I'd argue it happened earlier. Pathfinder General and Pathfinder IN general has been insufferable weebshit the moment Paizo stopped really giving a damn about the Medieval roots of their setting, giving us faux-modern issues like Kintargo.

Anon, when you throw a huge amount of mismatching shit together pell-mell, that's not worldbuilding. That's just trying to grab all the money from everyone.

Or you know the Kingdom Hearts abomination.

>>53162983
They did describe starfinder as science fantasy. They wanted it like a more fantasy version of starwars. That is how they described it, and personally I am a fan of that style. They said on the scale of starwars to startrek, with firefly in the middle, they wanted it on the starwars and firefly end of the spectrum.

>>53163007

>>53163017

I say it pays dividens unlike Half Life.

>>53163188
Furry art is absurdly popular and how many artists get to live fairly comfy lives, you might hate what Furry is or find it disgusting, but guess what? Your opinion doesn't stop the market from enjoying it, and when you think about it I guess that makes it worthless.

Fart sniffers and musty old men enjoy Van Gogh, next you're going to suggest Vivaldi is somehow better than Kei$ha because his work is "smarter" than hers.

"Quality" does not mean jack fucking SHIT if it doesn't sell to a wide audience, and if you insist a wide audience does not matter than guess what? You're just some weirdo with a weirdo hobby.

>>53163232

M8, when it comes to shit like this that is purely subjective whether it's good or not, unless you're stating 'in my opinion it is Good/bad/whatever', what else are you meant to use as a measuring stick for quality except popularity

>>53163310
>what else are you meant to use as a measuring stick for quality except popularity

In the case of art, anatomy, for example.

In the case of worldbuilding, originality.

>>53163335
The other guy's not quite right, but he does have a point. Popularity might not mean quality, but it does mean there's something to the work that appeals to its audience. If being a mish-mash works for the people who'll buy it, then is there supposed to be a problem?

Yes that goes for a lot of people, like Lovecraft for instance but I doubt people are going to pour through or individual game notes and find a masterpiece of originality and literary genius all that matters is that you enjoy it and you have the tools to make it work

>>53163362
>In the case of art, anatomy, for example.

But surrealist/disproportioned art was regarded as good, too. People liked it.

>In the case of worldbuilding, originality.

I can honestly understand some exasperation at 'x, but in y!' over and over again.
But if lots of people like it and enjoy the world, then I'd consider it a success.
Anyone is well within their rights to dislike it, but if the majority of people like it, it sells and it makes the creators successful, it's kinda hard to say it's bad.

>>53163445
>something to the work that appeals to its audience
Or is it? Is it not what all those ripped-off parts that they actually are attracted to? Moreso than the creation as a whole, which would there be much more akin to a remix of some kind.

Then you may judge the quality of the remix. If all it did was just connect the tapes together without a care about how they just don't match, or about making them get along in a single melody, it's a shit mix.

>>53162631

I am waiting for something truly unique, that will lead instead of follow the tropes. Nothing will ever be 100% original material but it can be close.

Just take your shit to some other place where we don't have to look at it.

So my Wiz is going to be hitting 7 here soon and I was looking at grabbing improved familiar. He's of the Univarsalist school, heavy crafting skills, with a focus on constructs. Most people say getting a imp or a fairy dragon. But someone mentioned getting a homunculus. This kind of fits my motif but I had a few questions.

If I used the feat, can I bypass that cost of creating the Hom? Or at the very least, knock off the 1000g for lab equipment?

And if I do use this method, could I still add the gold to improve it?

>>53163604
...I'm honestly amazed someone could be this blindly hypocritical to their own actions.

At the end of the day, we can still have fun talking about ERP and hide your posts and be no worse for it, but if you try and go about your day hiding our posts, you won't know what to complain about so you'll be stuck.

>>53163670
I'm pretty sure you can still improve it, as you'd just be making a homunculus companion more or less and making it your familiar. As for gold that depends on your DM, ask him.

>>53163757
For base pathfinder, the monk is the best way to TWF-ish. Its not real TWF but whatever.

Alternatively, you will depend on another character for positioning. If you have a sorcerer friend to dimension door you to where you need to be and then flank with you a Unchained Rogue can TWF really well. Hell a lot of classes can, and it becomes very very powerful.

Self-sufficient TWF though? Hard to do.

I don't know about third party stuff, there is probably some combination of rules that makes OP bullshit.

So.
A spherecaster with alteration, size shift, object transformation, and easy focus.

Could you shift into panties that another party member constantly wears, use your move action every turn to maintain it, and play through the campaign like that?

There should have been more than one chapter of that, really.

But seriously, what cool things could you do?
Besides the usual casting from a safe place.

Personally I'm against the large amount of ERP discussion for the same reason ERP General got banned. This is a blue board. Not like I can stop anyone but precedent says it doesn't belong here, /soc/ would make more sense.

>>53163870
Incredibly so.

The old rogue, when in perfect position, under perfect circumstances, could deal the damage that anyone else could do all the time.

The new one fucking obliterates things when it gets a full attack sneak attack. The skill tricks are also really nice.

The new rogue is one of the reasons why I'm optimistic for Starfinder, because I think that pazio can actually make really good classes when they aren't stuck following the fuckups of 3.5

Tbh you have plenty of chances to throw fun stuff at them too to really test their witchery. Because when slumber and misfortune fails, then what to they fall back on?

So what's the issue with witch? At 7th level they have a handful of 3rd and 4th level spells. Which are the trouble makers?

>>53164090
Isn't that the planet with the rape geysers that cause the mistakes of flesh orgy on whatever unfortunate humanoid they kidnapped?

>>53164239
Just read all of it

>>53164152
At level 7 the full witch debuff cycle takes between 4-5 rounds to get off. Slumber only effects 1 target as well. I'm still not seeing the problem with putting an enemy to sleep vs. an enemy being deleted by an initiator.

>>53164256
Yeah. By that time its easy to use devils and outsiders and magic beasts that can bind PCs and then just smite them. Or even follow them when they teleport to Tian Xia or to the moon or whatever. THEN smite them.

>>53164287
Nah thats the giant creature planet. I am talking about the gas giant planets with the dozens of moons.

>>53164054
Thank you. Wanted to be sure.

Any idea on other anon's question about psychic strike? Not my character but AM curious as to whether it can be made worth using on single attacks like say with the psycho-grenade bladeskill

>>53164305
But that's too much!

>>53164258
>useless insecure loser posts on the internet about how it isn't their fault because other people are keeping them down.
I mean usually its young girls and tumbler. But freaks and 4chan fits the bill as well.

>>53164152
...what do you combat encounters look like?

>>53164314
Can't bind something that isn't an outsider.

>>53164332
What you do as a psychic armory is charge up all your individual blades ahead of time with psychic strike. Then you're not wasting combat actions on it. It's per blade, not panoply-wide, so as long as you keep your panoply out you can hold charges on all your blades indefinitely.

>>53161555
There's a power in Psionics Augmented Soulknives II that works as a substitute psychic strike, scaling off the PP you spend instead of your class level.

>>53164379
Bind in any sort of form. You CAN bind PCs if they are not native to whatever plane they are on at that moment.

But you can also stop travel through certain spells

So what games are recruiting?

Is the Serpent's Skull one still up and recruiting? I am thinking of throwing my lot in there.

Usually PCs don't qualify for that.

But yea you could lock them in a box or something.

>>53164459
>>53164481

You should apply to TSS! It's a raunchy romp through the Mwangi Expanse in search of bullion and booty!

>>53164517
I don't plan on getting that raunchy, at the very least I do not plan on actually participating in the ERP portion. Fade to black is what I prefer.

I assume ERPing isn't required.

>>53163870
Unchained "fixed" rogues just enough to remind people that the Rogue exists and is invalidated by tons of shit, but managed to give it just enough cool things that it pretends to cling to relevance. Its talents are still mostly dogshit, skill unlocks are almost all garbage save for 2-3, it still only has one good save for NO GOOD REASON, and it still has piss-poor accuracy and reliance on SA in order to function at all.
Legendary Rogue still feels like a better unchaining than URogue, but the two together require you to fiddle around with it.

>>53164499
What I mean is you can stop them from shifting planes the same way you can stop outsiders from shifting planes.

You can also use banishment on PCs and Dismissal if they are for example, on the plane of air or hell.

>>53164538
If you don't want to be involved in a pathfinder game that is more about the ERP than the rest of the game, IRL is your only hope.

>>53164538
I figure you could ask for your portion to be fade-to-black, sure!

>>53164558
I have been in /pfg/ games before that were fine. One had no 'lewd', the other one is very light on it.

>>53164566
I was unsure on this. Though I am still likely going to fall more into Heart of Darkness than I am into Indiana Jones, which may be an issue. Though thinking back I could easily be Indiana Jones as well.

Legendary Vigilante is allowed I believed, now I just need to figure out what stacks with Serial Killer.

>>53164558
If you want me to be perfectly honest, I would rather talk about ERP and Discord drama than gender politics or how much Paizo hates white men.

>>53164481
>>53164558
Then I hope Quest for Mighty Loot isn't going to be an ERP because I applied there and I want to play serious.

I also consider romantism not to be "ERP".

>>53164538
You don't have to. Most of those apps are not even lewd.

Or you can do Mighty Quest.

>>53164538
>>53164558
>>53164566
Even where monster rape was advertised, the players still fade to black to get "that stuff" done at their own leisure or not at all (for some of the other games that is, everyone in PLD is getting what they want)

Black Tentacles, Confusion, Enervation on nonundead, Crushing Despair + Misfortune was obnoxious one time but admittedly I rolled very badly to resist.

Early on, the usual suspects with Obscuring Mist, Ray of Enfeeblement, thry mostly stuck to support and hiding though. 3rd and onward was Glitterdust soam, Ray of Exhaustion. Tried Web once but failed miserably.

Out of combat? Less of an issue. Scry in particular has been useful for them.

But in general I do not like having to tailor every combat so there is an enemy spellcaster around to aggressively dispel and counter debuff the party. Nor do I like the idea of throwing shit like say, a room full of greater invisible'd succubi who immeduately go for the back ranks with level drain grapples. Comes off as less fun and more antagonistic.

>>53164309

I have rarely seen an initiator delete enemies harder than an optimized archer Monk, archer Fighter, archer Paladin
cBarbarian, Investigator, Vivisectionist, Magus, or Inquisitor.

Not counting Summoners, pretty sure they don't classify as 'martial' even as a synthesis summoner.

>>53164632
One rotten apple ruins the bunch.

>>53164634
That just sounds like you're shit at combat design more than anything.

>>53164647
The DM has the power to pick the rotten one out of the pile, anon.

>>53164499
Does this mean that a PC tiefling could get targeted by planar binding and forced to do all kinds of naughty things?

>>53164634
>Investigator
>In the same pile as Barbarians and vivesectionists
>"Deleting people"

Fucking how?

>>53164612
There is only one triggered loser in this general. he doesn't post that often ether.

>>53164663
The DM is Rory.

>>53164634
But at the same time, enemies would also know about spellcasters and try to fight around them. Even once in a while you can get a monk to use their leap ability to dimension door next to your caster and grapple him while the fighters are busy fighting.

Or have a rogue sneak behind and stab him.

There are so many ways you can deal with casters its not funny. The whole meme about them being OP is just a meme. if you want some help, give me some ideas of your next couple encounters and I will tell you how to make them difficult for your party comp. (include your part comb please) but also not impossible for them to defeat. just a challenge.

>>53164661

>running a Paizo AP
>encounters are badly designed

Who would have guessed!

>>53164634
Why is that Drow washing the table in such a sloppy, inefficient way? If she doesn't do a poor job of the cleaning, she's going to get her dress all wet. Cold, wet boobs are not fun,

>>53164663
What I'm saying is, if you make a group with serious characters, but there's one or two that are just fuel fetish and whom players obviously intended to have get laid somewhere in the campaign, it's gonna fuck it all up. Even IC, I mean who wants to go adventure with sluts obnoxiously making innuendos every five minutes and dressed for a porno?

>>53164686
He did not say he was running an AP if I remember?

>>53164686
Yeah, running Paizo APs out of the box is almost always a mistake, especially with Initiators. Initiators completely shit all over pathfinder's balance, what little semblance of balance there is. Full casters do the same.

>>53163768
Not sure what you're asking. Are you saying a Hom would be useless?

>>53164686
Actually, I am pleasantly surprised by the variety they include.

If anything there is too much "yea this is interesting but a bit random and doesn't fit the story" over the "this fits the story but is a boring fight".

>>53164699
What games have this issue?

>>53164710
I'm saying do you ever get a pet bird just because you like birds or does it have to be useful?

>>53164677
What? I was talking about Paizo introducing that stuff right into their games or game discussion. It's impossible to have a conversation about WotR without bringing up the prominent gender politics of the campaign, or HR and the infamous trigger warning.

>>53164728
Games with lewd apps.

>>53164729
Familiars of all kinds end up being useful even if they are shitty like a hermitcrab.

A bird just because you like birds or it fits your character is fine. In the end it will still be able to fly, spy for you, hide in trees, be pretty much a normal bird.

>>53164729
I lean towards more usefull. But I've seen others do the opposite.

>>53164684

Yeah that is more my speed. Not a fan of 'turn every fight into caster v caster coubter warfare or rape them with high CR immunity heavy antagonists'
The latter usually goes eay over CR, or I stay within and its just 1-2 outsiders, undead, so on, and they get focus fired anyway.

>>53164728
Dragons 2 and Rory, or Blingmaker and Branwen.

>>53164754
>pretty much a normal bird
THIS IS MY BABBY BIRD YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

This bird is magical

TO ME

>>53164746
....what? No it really isn't at all. That takes up like...less than 5% of the entire AP.

The only issue is that TRIGGEREDPOSTERS get all triggered and start spewing shit everywhere.

>>53164666
Well Satan, you of all people should know.

No wait, Satan isn't a person according to Charm and Dominate spells. Better Planar Bind him to get a real answer.

>>53164754
>>53164729
Yeah even if it IS shitty like a hermitcrab. It can still hide and deliver touch spells and speak with creatures.

>>53164762
That is a problem then. Tell me about your next few encounters and Ill give you ideas or tell you a good idea to do. You can also wait to save the big caster vs caster combat for a big important fight.

>>53164538
Dont app.

Seriously, overlewd just happened, erp games will recruit a harem and one harem protag male, they arent looking for good "normal" characters or they wouldnt advertise as lewd. Its what the DM wants, its what more than half the players want, and there is nothing wrong with that, but people need to stop responding to the hype like it makes it the game for everyone.

>>53164814
>It can still hide and deliver touch spells and speak with creatures.
When I get a familiar all I want it to do is provide me with company. Unless it's a bird, then I try to teach it to say hi.

5% of the total AP, and about 30% of the first two books. Can you see why people whose first exposure to this AP via the first couple books might form that opinion?

When you frontload a campaign with your SocJus ways, it will change the flavor of the rest of it. Like, it's part of the reason why we don't talk about Ironfang Invasion anymore, because Amber Scott wrote the first book as some overly preachy tripe where literally everyone is missing a leg.

>>53164842

>>53164886

Anon? I'd apply to TSS and think it over. Withdraw if you decide to not want that sort of campaign, or bow out early if the tone isn't meshing.

Also, my advice? Apply as a human female character, the people around here are uncomfortable as fuck with the prospect of white girls with black guys, so if you play some pale chick than you're basically untouchable.

>ITT people who didn't get into their favored meme game project how they think all games ever are going

I'm 90% sure that this is just triggeredposting, but I'll give you a chance. What is so bad about the first two books?

>>53164922
>Also, my advice? Apply as a human female character, the people around here are uncomfortable as fuck with the prospect of white girls with black guys, so if you play some pale chick than you're basically untouchable.
I already have a character planned out. I think it'll be fine.

>>53164886
>Honestly the "make use of every location including planehopping and worldhopping" puts me off a great deal
Neither I am a fan of this, or that sort of plot to begin with, or even big systems like Pathfinder and standard high-fantasy, but I find literally nothing else.

I figured I just want to give it a try and not ask too many questions, although my heart remains with rules-light low-fantasy homebrews with freedom of action.

I believe you need to try getting one of your characters that has a good reason to be unfazed by an endless amount of cosmic references.

Mine is a bit on the side of it all, so to speak.

>>53164890
The tiefling, the dwarf and the kobold aren't edgy at all. The oni application doesn't sound terrible too, I'm only concerned this might be a veiled lewd.

Like the guy's name is "Lewd", too.

So what's the word on LoBaF? Has romance blossomed yet?

>>53160282

I'm currently in the process of planning a game and coming up with a few house rules for 'healer' type alternatives. I know healing is a hot garbage way of spending your actions so my idea is to add something that allows certain classes/archetypes to provide some healing whilst also doing something else or spending swift/move actions to be able to do something.

At the moment, I'm looking at changing the Hedge Witch, Chirurgeon and Necromancy [Life] archetypes/specialists for the Witch, Alchemist and Wizard respectively. My intent is to actually give them some viable healing abilities that don't impact too much on other stuff they do (I'm looking at just outright buffing the Necromancy [Life] 'Healing Grace' ability for example). Before I post up my shitty house rule attempts, has any Anon here tried to create some more 'viable' healing class alternatives? I don't want to open up some shitty MMO type healer who just sits there spamming heal spells really efficiently but I do want to offer some alternatives.

>>53164997
Greentext yesterday makes me think that they might actually be playing a classic efficient murder hobo game.

>>53165041
You can simply include heal over time spells, or prehealing (temp HP) or even more effects for your channel energy that let you deal damage or cause other effects.

>>53164814

Next fight is actually an evil Cleric. Its suppose to be a two part fight where they ascend on the spot after dying. 10th level, elite array, full wealth for gear, plus their temple is Unhallowed to have circle vs good and freedom of movement. Only one PC is non-good.

I want to put the fear of the dark gods into them.. but I was leery of going 'jk she has a bunch of animated dead and planar bound demons, now she gonna hide in the air with all her buffs on and spam summon monster/negative energy channel every turn then finish you all off in melee'.

Why do you say that?

>>53164964

Every single good character you meet is a lesbian or homosexual engaged in a relationship, one of them with a transwoman. The only straight white male you meet is a literal mansplaining shitlord who is only useful because of his privilege as nobility. You need to work with a literal who gay black Cleric of Shelyn who needs his white twink lover cured of an addiction to drugs, the scrappy resistance group you work with us a breakfast club of diversity, and Mythic sucks.

>>53164997
Why do people care so much about LoBaF shipping in particular? Normally I assume it's a player posting anon so they can reply to themselves but no one ever follows up on these posts, so I think it must actually be real anons.

>>53165086
What you can do is this. Before introducing the cleric, use summons like planar demons and undead, then spells like flamestrike(via scrolls or traps). When the PCs seem weakened (or if they are smart, the casters will try to find the cleric with divination) you can have a dark god loving cleric appear and then fly with defenses already prepped.

Then you can use devils to fight on the ground while the cleric is using other spells. Because remember. If every member of a party is 7th level, fighting one level 10 cleric is not an issue. So you can also include abberation and extraplanar allies for the cleric to fight as secondary targets. Doing all this with the right tempo will put that fear in them without laying it all out there all at once.

For example, you never ever have to include all the enemies out on the same time because PCs will be able to pick out the threats easy and just blast them to hell. So you can coax some of their spells out with some pre-devils or undead.

>>53165199

Speaking from Essa's perspective once the city is cleared out she wishes to spend at least 2-3 days watching the city, mainly for outlying Gnoll patrols to return. This is to prevent the party leaving to inform the caravan that the city is cleaned out, only to return and find it full of gnolls again.

I do not know how Legacy of Fire normally works, but the town seems to be central the book came out around the same time as downtime and city building rules I think to the overall plot. Essa plans on moving her family to the town once she thinks its safe enough and other settlers start showing up. She is putting away 1/2 of her gained loot somewhere around 2000gp it seems to build a nice place to live for her family and give them some sort of livelihood at the moment she is thinking brewery should suffice, under a completely baseless assumption that all older males desire to open a brewery and retire to running an inn.

At some point I am planning on making the full list of Essa's younger siblings, I had planned for 10-15. Of the orphans who still visit Borger regularly Essa is the oldest, most of the kids are younger, a lot of the money is going to go to paying for them to have a better childhood than she did. Also this is likely to be the point the party realizes Essa's sex, as the younger kids refer to her as big sister. As well she essentially fills the role of stricter discipline for the kids, one of the main reasons she turned to petty crime as a child was because Borger didn't enjoy punishing the kids in his care. So these brats are getting smacked.

How does fear stacking work with duration? The rules are horribly unclear.

If I have a foe who's shaken for 5 rounds, and shaken them for another round, are they frightened for 1 round then shaken for the next 5 or are they frightened for six?

>>53165253
Because that's NOT diversity. That's in fact making it not-diversity but inversed. Where everyone's diverse, nobody is.

Minorities are minorities because they're minoritary.

Nobody is such a sperg to go "hurr they gay it bad". They're obviously talking about the demeaning pandering to political sexual groups.

I can tell you I'm mighty tired of said pandering. If I say that I'm gay anywhere, it's either "being gay is gross", or "stop talking politics".

Temp HP was definitely something I was looking at. In fact, I altered the other Necromancy [Life] ability (Share Essence) to:

Soul Shell (Sp): You may spontaneously expend spell slots to grant you or an ally temporary hit points equal to 1d4 per level of the spell expended plus half your caster level (rounded up). You can only expend a number of spell slots equal to the highest level of spell that you can cast. You may use this effect on yourself as a swift action or on an ally as a standard action (range: 25 ft +5 ft per level). From level 11 onwards, you may expend 2 uses of the ability to cast it on an ally as a swift action and may expend 1 use of the ability to use it on yourself as an immediate action. Hit points granted in this way last for 1 round per caster level. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.

I do, that is why I don't want to send it in solo nor overload the PCs with a dozen undead, a handful of Planar Allied devils/demons, and spebd the fight hiding the Cleric while theh cast Summon Monster 3-5 every turn.

There is such a thing as too much.
