depends what you mean by Gish

Damage with spells and swords? Magus

Self buff and murderize things? Warpriest.

>>53701818
You play a wizard and refluff your spells.

>>53701818
Warpriest, Occultist, and (technically) Kineticist are my favorite gishes, if we go by the terms of "magic dude who also fights good"

>>53701840
Because Magus was a shoddily-designed class that needs to get some kind of Unchained treatment.

>>53701866
If they really didn't want to give Magus full level Fighter qualifications they should have made it "Magus level-3" for the purpose of qualifying for feats, at least then you could theoretically take some of the Xteen level feats.

Do you think that only the popular Ensoulment apps will get in, or are there any dark horses you think have a better chance than what the polls give them?

>>53701955
I think Aurelia won't get in, despite her being a stronger app

>>53701816
I liked the art.

He's actually a half. Dad was a human and brought home a kuhimo, which is what set everything in motion for this character to lose what he should have inherited, because Dad was supposed to marry someone important, not someone he met in his travels when he went adventuring.

>>53701955
I don't think CCC will get in, elf hitler can't be a hero.

Pretty sure I'm going to remake an entire app. Just not happy with it functionally. What's missing ensoulment character wise?

Nothing, just b urself, and try not to be a default hero

Popular, good, and what the GM wants, aren't always the same things.

The GM wants a certain blend of magic that no one has really defined. The GM, if he's smart, will never talk about more than he already has.

What people want here is to be entertained. Memes, celebs, and waifus are always going to dominate the discussion. Simple solid applicants characters are going to be discarded as shit because there isn't much to gossip about. People who won't talk back aren't going to be mentioned often because they can't be used to stir up debate. App quality does matter, but in addition to the other factors, not independent of them.

>>53702014
I mean... Kind of play wise. It feels like there's a lot of smart characters, idealist fighters, and anime. I like playing characters that is interesting in a party or works well when paired with another character and am looking for something mechanically different.

>>53702088
Then play someone grizzled.

RPG history question:

Why were full attacks ever introduced to 3.0 in the first place?

AD&D 2e had no problem with warriors getting to move an attack in the same round.

Full attacks poisoned 3.0, then went on to poison 3.5 and Pathfinder. Even Starfinder is keeping full attacks in a way, but it's not as bad because it's just two attacks at a -4 penalty, no iteratives ever.

>>53702201
>No more full attacks in starfinder
>Wizards will still have space shattering powers
lol

>>53701866
Out of curiosity, what changes would you want to see implemented in an Unchained Magus? I've humored the idea of writing one, but I haven't actually bothered to do it.

>>53701855
>self-buff and murder and not mentionning psywar
Heretic

>>53702319
>suggesting a psionic abomination and not a based holy warrior
Pot calling kettle black

>>53702049
You should just be the goddamn BEST default hero.

>>53702201

From what I remember, some genius involved in 3.0's design was of the opinion that the fighting man was too powerful and the mage sucked, and so sought to even things out a little.

We have been paying for his foolishness ever since. At least 5e had the good sense to put the full attack mechanic in a fucking bin where it belongs.

>>53702240
I've done that myself. Mostly, people want a reason to stay in it past level 2, and maybe some class features other than 'cast arcane spells without the normal problems with casting arcane spells'.

This always feels like really shallow advice to me. The best characters make use of every aspect of themselves, including race and gender, for little details.

A girl doesn't have to "act like a girl", but the way a girl "acts like a man" carries different weight, and their life leading up to should be felt in their interactions.

>>53702554
Alright, why don't you tell us about the character? we can more accurately give you feedback and suggestions if we know what you're doing with him/her

>>53702554
Unless it's relevant to a given situation, what the character looks like and what they're packing shouldn't be mentioned very often.

>>53702554

Oh shut up, a female guardswoman would (or at least should) have a different outlook on things than a male guardsman in the same position. Equality of the genders just means neither gender has unique qualities.

>>53702554

Men and women can have equally compelling motivation that sprouts from the same reasons.

Of course, if you're playing them like a guy, you could play them like a girl who has had to beat boys at their own game in order to survive in their world, making her both tough, embittered, and out of touch with her own femininity. That's kind of a stereotype and the basis for a narrative that generally is critical of societal roles for men and women, though.

I mean, it is fantasy. You don't have to write a great character for the Great American Novel™, you're playing a chick in a pen and paper game.

>>53702240
Coming from the guy who was originally complaining, my post >>53701903 would help with the retardation of feat qualification.

Combine this with either giving the Magus inherent bonuses to Concentration checks to cast defensively, or give the class the unique ability to cast in close combat without provoking AOOs altogether when using Spell Combat, THAT would be something that would make the class unique from a spellcaster perspective.

>>53702567
>>53702580
The driving concept behind the character is that they're nobility, and the perfect heir to in regards to capacity and values, but not allowed to inherit due to their circumstances. I have the characterization in mind but I haven't ironed out all of the backstory.

Being female gives an easy way to justify this and other aspects of the characterization I want without making things convoluted or requiring explanations for why no one has gotten rid of them if they're a threat or backed them if they're a strong candidate.

Problem again being, I don't know shit about playing women.
When I play a man I know how to describe movement, what details in my appearance implies, and I have an easy time considering how their backstory would shape them.
With a woman I really don't know how to describe a "barely disheveled" appearance or how the same backstory applied to a girl growing up might affect her differently.

Hey, /pgg/lets.

What's that one class you've always wanted to play, but never managed to find the right campaign or character for?

>>53702771

I would but I don't have time for games at the moment :C I live vicariously through everyone else.here in the thread.

>>53702736
I've always wanted to make a Swordlord character that didn't suck, particularly for a Kingmaker campaign where they're most relevant. Trouble is, a) they suck, and b) the one chance I had was with the worst DM I've ever played with, and the campaign fell apart halfway through, because the whole group got sick of playing second fiddle to a constant stream of DMPCs.

>>53702706
Also the spell list for the Magus needs a complete rehaul. You know how the Alchemist gets by as a melee build when preferring their Mutagen over their bombs? They have TONS of Extracts (essentially spells) that make up for the lowered BAB by giving them boosts either through Size or Enhancement bonuses. Magus doesn't get these kinds of boosts until at least level 4 spells, which is completely unacceptable.

Also, make it so that more Magus Arcana are like Ki Powers, in that they give the Magus an inherent boost without having to spend precious Arcane Pool points on every little thing. Alternatively, make it so that there's some means of regaining Pool points like the Swashbuckler, maybe by downing an enemy spellcaster?

Warlord is also a valid option and captures the bravado rather well.

>>53702730
If they're a noblewoman that's not allowed to take their birthright, consider what all causes those problems, and her response to them.

>How does she respond to men who are attracted to her? Does she encourage it? Hate it? Only get primped up for special people?
>What sort of person is she attracted to?
>Choose a favorite color, and recognize that she'll have a favorite style of clothing. she'll have had more exposure to the vagaries of women's clothes at this point, so she'll have opinions about dresses, corsets, and trousers.
>How physically active is she? This'll affect how many flowing things are on her body - if she's a warrior, she'll want to keep her hair short, and avoid things like dresses and skirts. If she's more the sort to stand back, she may prefer to wear more pretty things.
>Is there a particular part of her body she's proud of? Maybe violet eyes she cuts her hear and wears makeup to accentuate, or her hair is beautiful. She may take pains for the sake of vanity, even if they're not entirely practical, such as wearing long hair despite being a warrior.
>Has she spent long studying and reading? If so, does she need glasses?
>What are her opinions on women's rights?
>Does she have any personal secrets she doesn't much want to get out? Perhaps things related to her family?
>Does she have any particular favorite foods that she goes out of her way to get? Many medieval noblewomen had a taste for sweets whenever they could get their hands on them.
>What sort of skills has her parents chosen to endow her with, given she was never going to be the heir, and likely would have been married off for politics?
>Why wasn't she married off for politics?

That should cover most of your concerns.

>>53702857

>>53702863

>>53702438
>>53702706
I already saw your post concerning the uselessness of Fighter Training and I thought it was a very good point.
Not including the revision to Fighter Training, here's a rough draft of what I have so far.

>Allow Arcanist Exploits in place of Magus Arcana
A lot of Magus Arcana are useless, and while they could be rewritten to make them non-trap options, Arcanist gets a lot of Magus-like stuff through class features and Exploits.

>Remove the focus upon Shocking Grasp
Introduce a class feature that allows you to sacrifice damaging spells in exchange for damage based upon your UC Magus level and the spell's level. Damage dealt is of the type that the spell uses.

>Change medium/heavy armor to Arcana, add partial bonuses to Concentration for these Arcana
Magi who want to cast in armor can get their armor that much faster, and they get benefits for doing so. Bonuses would likely scale off of the armor's class, so DEX magi could still benefit from taking these, but not as much as a STR Magus would. For example, possibly the ability to cast spells of a level equal to 1/2 your Armor bonus without prompting AoOs.

>>53702863
I'm not original anon, but you've given good advice and I just thought you should get another nod of appreciation for it.

>>53702201
An attempt to defang closet troll monsters as they existed in early versions of 3e, primarily, and give kiting and speed advantages a role in combat versus monsters. Y'know, as opposed to just changing how those types of combatants worked.

In 3.0 it didn't really hurt martials too bad, since the ever ubiquitous haste let you move and still full attack anyway (it was a bit fucked for spellcasters, but that's a different problem). When haste was changed in 3.5, martials lost easy access to mobile full attacks.

>>53703094
Honestly, I would much rather the Magus just get some kind of "at-will" option that doesn't dig into their spell slots. Something kind of like a Kinetic Blast that scales by 1d6/level, and which you can attach rider effects to. Kind of like a Kinetic Blast almost.

Have some kind of 1d6/level scaling elemental damage thing (which can be changed, or reduced to 1d4 if you want to go untyped), allow you to attach rider effects to it like a Kineticist's Substance Infusions or a Monk's Style Strikes, and that would be a solid fix. You could also decouple Spellstrike and Spell Combat from requiring you to have a free hand open, and just rolling Ranged Spell Combat and Ranged Spellstrike up into them by default.

My ideal Unchained Magus would probably look something like a Gambler Kineticist focusing on Substance Infusions with a kinetic blade or extended range kinetic blast to be honest

>>53703208

>"Well, we changed haste so casters can't use it on themselves to cheese out more actions. Problem solved."
>"I feel like we're forgetting some vital assumptions in the game mechanics we based around Haste giving extra move actions."
>"If we forgot them they couldn't be that important."

>What's your ideal Chargen

Depends on the game. If I want to go balls-to-the-walls insanity I'd want something like 32 PB gestalt 7+, ideally 11. I know that sounds stupid, but if the games recruiting around here are any indication you'll get 1-2 IRL years of pleasure out of them before things finally fall apart.

Realistically? I just want an honest-to-goodness level 3 gestalt campaign set in Golarion. I know the lore, I know the land, it can be dumb as hell at times but I can get in a real better headspace with that than one of these custom campaigns.

Witcher-esque is muy bueno tier, you have good taste. Personally, I'd want something based in Druma or all over Avistan, a sort of "each character is a hero of their country/region" thing where they start off solo, but unite through providence and fight against insurmountable odds to protect the continent.

>>53703355
My fellow self sacrificing assistman

>>53703094
Honestly the biggest problem with most Arcana is that they either give 1/day bonuses or eat way too many Pool points that you can't get back if the thing you ended up using it on is wasted. The fact that your Pool is so small to begin with (1/2 level plus Int for such a necessary class feature, really? And 1/3 level for Black Blades?!) also doesn't help things whatsoever, as you'll likely be burning through Pool points just as quickly as a Bloodrager burns through rounds of Rage if not faster, and will not only run out faster but have less to show for it by the end.

>>53703216
Honestly Arcane Pool points just need to take a page from the Ki Pool list of the Unchained Monk.

>>53703341
Bestial Kineticist is fun. One of the few way to get a ranged attack on your companion. The Int limit on wild talent practically requires you to take monstrous mount though. Also the time it takes to train new talent is a problem.

>Realistically? I just want an honest-to-goodness level 3 gestalt campaign set in Golarion. I know the lore, I know the land, it can be dumb as hell at times but I can get in a real better headspace with that than one of these custom campaigns.
This is a bit of an unpopular opinion, but frankly I really like Golarion. It's kitchen sink, sure, but once you actually really look at it, nothing is truly out of place for the sake of being there. I just wish a few of my niche favorite races (android, ghoran) were available as characters in more parts of the world without serious backstory shenanigans.

>but frankly I really like Golarion

Oh, absolutely. We love to piss and moan about the setting but then again, doesn't everyone with the default world of a system? I know Faerun got lots of shit, but people still have fond memories of Waterdeep and the setting in general. I don't know, sometimes I'm in this thread and I just wonder if I like Golarion because we've got too big of an investment into it; the General's been around for 5 years, anon. 5 years of nonstop conversation about Golarion. We know every tiny detail about it now, and it makes the world seem familiar.

This isn't to say we're going entirely off familiarity, there's plenty of positives to the setting too. For one, I think the Land of the Linnorm Kings is one of the greatest parts of the setting, and the fact we've barely touched on it around here except for that spat a year ago has kept it fresh. I love the entirety of Lake Encarthan, I love the Whispering Way - hell, I think the Inner Sea is TIGHT, and the only time we seem to have consensus on the setting being poor is when we're discussing Cosmology, which is typically often the weakest part of any setting and is best built around being as nebulous as possible.

Golarion is dying along with Pathfinder as Paizo puts their all into Starfinder, which in the years to come will be their "next system." I mean, what more is there to do in Golarion? There are no greener pastures. The setting is coming to a close and I don't want it to go out with a whimper, I want it to go out with everyone getting a chance to really put their all into making mighty heroes and villains from their favorite part of the setting. I just want a last great hurrah, anon.

>>53703609
I honestly still love the early versions of Golarion. It started to loose me when Pazio drank the kool aid and starting gutting it to be as inoffensive as possible.

>>53703609
Starfinder is an experiment at this point. Its publishing schedule could only be called anemic- they're only publishing the chapters of the first AP every other month and there aren't any plans for expansion material at all, while Pathfinder still has releases scheduled into next year.

They're pretty obviously waiting to see if Starfinder lands or flops before they invest any time or money into it at all.

>>53703609
There ARE still bits that haven't been explored. LotLK for starters, huge sections of Tian Xia, and the entirety of Arcadia is pretty much untouched to my knowledge. Hell, what might be cool is traveling with a Linnorm King on his voyage to Valenhall and getting tied up in events that are leading up to what's effectively Ragnarok.

>>53703654
>>53703609
I'm personally expecting that, if Starfinder proves to be a better game in general than Pathfinder (which, as much as we might like it, isn't super difficult) we'll be seeing a few games that specifically take place in Pathfinder times using Starfinder rules. Possibly in Numeria? We'll have to see.

It could be great though, if they deliver on their promise to fix Pathfinder's issues to some degree.

They released a Campaign Book for that, detailing everything from individual Kingdoms to quest hooks to subsystems in excruciating detail. It was as though they desperately wanted to write an AP for that region of Golarion, but knew they never will. The material's there for any DM to just pluck and pick at their leisure.

>Tian Xia and Arcadia

I can't see them expanding on these places, not now and not ever. The interest just isn't there. Paizo would rather make an AP featuring Lovecraftian terror than write an AP that brings up Arcadia. Just as Absalom has been dropped by the company, so has those continents.

They said they plan to delve into the other continents of golarion. So I'd say it's probable.

See, the thing is you asked how to PLAY a girl.

And the safest way to play a girl without being cringe is to play the character, not the gender.

That being said, the gender still plays a role. In the backstory, think about how their gender formed the character. Then at the table, play the character.

What the hell kind of class is this? Does this even make sense?

Why is its save progression so screwed? Why does it have such narrow class features?

>Splitting Sunder (Ex)
>At 15th Level, when you successfully make a sunder or smashing maneuver with a Slashing weapon, the target’s hardness (if any) is treated as half its hardness.

SNOWFLAKE

>>53703871
>Kinda makes you wonder why they haven't bothered with them yet

I'd say it's because, as I said before, the interest just isn't there. The only time they bothered to expand Tian Xia was in a Gazeteer and a mandatory info dump for Jade Regent, and Casmaron was never expanded on because that's some freaky-deaky combination of Persia and Central Asia, ain't nobody got time to care about that. Vudra confuses them, Garund was a hot stinky mess ever since Serpent's Skull, and Arcadia gives 'em the jitters.

People want their knights n' castles, and Avistan provides that. More importantly, the Pathfinder Lodges are stationed largely in Avistan, and PFS is unfortunately their primary source of income at the moment which means they need to continue expanding on Avistan.

>>53703879
>>53703906
>Whether it is a severist’s innate supernatural ability that brings tragedy, or the nature of tragedy itself that the severist draws power from, is a question lost to the ages. It is rare for a severist to fully understand his abilities, and he may even mistake them for hallucinations.

Severists are not trained; there is no organization comprised of them, no titles or reputation to be known by, no membership to attain, and few documents or clues on how the nature of how their powers actually work. This distinction means that they find themselves on the path of heroes, martyrs and madmen more often than most.

Not necessarily, I imagine weebs enjoy playing anime characters in Avistan more than anime characters in anime-land.

I mean, let's be real here, have you seen the kind of characters /pfg/ makes on a regular basis?

>>53703976
Weebs are also a market too small to interest them. If they want to play in Tian Xia than they play Jade Regent or Minkai, otherwise they get to play some incomprehensible Tien that's in Avistan or an honest-to-goodness in-game weaboo.

Would you play in a game with the following rules? The game is supposed to put an emphasis on magical characters.

- Level 4, 25 point buy, standard WBL, background skills, retraining.
- Paizo, Forrestfire Studios, ertw's beguiler, Mark Seifter's masquerade reveler.
- Core and featured races.
- All PC class levels must be in a half-caster class or archetype (apart from inquisitor [monster tactician] and summoner), avowed, regular spellburst savant, beguiler, or barbarian (masquerade reveler).
- Two traits, no campaign traits or drawbacks. Fate's Favored does not apply to permanent luck bonuses.
- No crafting feats, Leadership feats, Obedience feats, Orator, or Sacred Geometry. If you would receive one of these as a bonus feat, gain any other feat as a bonus feat instead.
- No Tears to Wine.
- Drugs allow a Fortitude saving throw at their addiction DC to negate the effects.
- Throwing shields take a free action to unclasp, not to throw.
- No free feat taxes. Sorry.

>>53704109
Not really? You haven't even given us a premise.

>>53704109
I'd play an avowed in it if the time frame worked out. I think the biggest thing most caster-types would take umbridge with it
>No crafting feats
But I hate crafting anyways.

>>53704109
I could do it, although the requirement of "must be a caster" is kind of eh to me.

Also, does that allow Paladins or Bloodragers?

Making a wizard, need some questions answered.

>1
I've been looking at the Void Element School, and havebeen having a hard time trying to determine what style and and gameplay niche its supposed to be, could someone please enlighten me?

>2
Say I take an option from a PrC that grants me a familiar, but mentions nothing about stacking with wizard levels. Would it be legal to take a Bonded object and then be able to get a familiar, or must my Arcane Bond be a familiar too to be legal? For those of you wondering, the PrC in question is Stargazer

>3
What Improved Familiar option is best for a star/space/shining theme?

>4
Say I had also gained an Oracle Curse through certain means. What Curse would thematically fit as well? I've been stuck between Haunted and Tongues, but I feel neither fits well

>>53704545
Which are the other decent PrCs?

>>53704545
It just isn't the same. I was really hoping for a wizard with limited access to wildshape.

>>53704583

Yes.

>>53704622
You can never have a Familiar and a Bonded Object at the same time.

The Lyrakien Azata is pretty good, and fits your theme (I think).

Oracle curse is tricky. Haunted or Burned, perhaps? I'd say Wrecking Mysticism but you're probably not a Kitsune, nor are you in a position to actually use the benefits.

IDK about Void Element but it seems to be control-heavy.

>>53704666
That's DSP, though. That's not mainline Paizo.

>>53704109
That sounds really shitty, but I can tell from your image selection In wouldn't like any campaign premise you'd put forth anyway.

>>53704109
>no crafting feats

Other than that, I wouldn't mind this setup if I just know some more about what it's about.

New GM here, thinking of running a game on Roll20 with strangers for the first time. Had a blast running games for my friends but they lost interest in favor of 5E. I've got a few ideas I'd like to run by ya. Comments appreciated. Unfortunately I'm going to bed so I'll have to see the results after the thread is archived.

http://www.strawpoll.me/13145078

Graeco-Egyptian setting. Iron Age. An ancient island has arisen from the depths of the seas. The oracles speak of dire omens as they warn kings and heroes that a darkness looms on the horizon. The gods in their mercy have asked their spawn and champions to rally together and face this threat from the depths. A nautical adventure in the style of Jason & the Argonauts.

Sengoku setting. Emerging firearms. The country is in peril. The Emperor lies ill as the Shogun wastes his wealth on frivolous luxuries. The clans are growing restless as civil war looms on the horizon. Even ronin, those without land or masters to remain loyal to, are being brought into the folds of ambitious daimyo. The PCs are gathered by the Gonin Gumi, a group of nobles with a shared interest in the protection of their goods from the wandering outlaws who plague the realm. Later get embroiled in Imperial politics with the choice of splintering or mending the fracturing state.

Renaissance (Central-Eastern Europe) Setting. Commonplace firearms. For decades the Empire and the Kingdom have been at one another's throat, the two powers kept in check through their constant skirmishes and infighting. Profiting from the violence, selling more advanced weapons and supplies to either side the Republic has experienced a golden age of science and prosperity. A young Imperial noblewoman with great ambitions seeks to end this stalemate and reap the profits stolen from her countrymen by the Republic. The PCs will act as her hands as she takes control of the Empire and sparks all-out war.

>>53704724
More importantly, though, they also let you actually customize your magic item loadout without the need for a Wizard IKEA. Also make actual CUSTOM magic items, which can be even more important.

>>53704762
>Argonauts-esque campaign
Jesus Christ anon, my dick can only get so fucking hard

>>53704731

I haven't been keeping up with Starfinder, what in particular prompts this view? Genuinely curious, I'm looking for things to look forward to.

>>53704722
>>53704622
Also, from Nethys' entry on the Stargazer:
>Guiding Light (Su): The stargazer gains a familiar, treating his stargazer level as his wizard level.
This means it would stack with preexisting wizard levels.

>>53704762
All of these sound awesome. I want to couple with you furiously, Anon.

>>53704767

Funnily enough, you can conceivably have a party comprised of only Occult classes.

The only REAL stinker with the Medium is the Guardian and maybe the Hierophant. The others all have some sort of use. Of course, if you can justify it with a GM, you should ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS A L W A Y S take the Wendo Caller medium archetype, as it trades almost nothing in exchange for access to about two dozen various domains and all their domain spells (up to 4th/6th level depending on spirit)

Why? All their furniture have these really uncomfortable rods that somehow go right up your butt.

>>53705250

They're bees, not wasps, and this is not Calistria's bedroom

Also, Paladin Ikea went out of business because they couldn't sell things at a profit without Falling.

But everyone knows that it's hip to fuck bees!

>>53705272
But couldn't they sell things FOR a prophet? Or is that Oracle IKEA?

>>53705291
"For the Profit" is definitely Oracle IKEA

>>53705291
I know it's tempting, but you should avoid going to Oracle Ikea. They have good service and cheap goods, but everything there is cursed one way or another and you always have to sign a damn 90-page contract before buying anything.

>>53705291
That's oracle IKEA. Ironically, oracle the sole reason oracle IKEA's furniture is not already put together is due to their blindness curses.

>>53705315
That's why you don't buy shit in Cheliax that costs more gold than you can personally carry in your hands.

>>53705339
That reminds me; is there a Summoner IKEA? Seems to me they'd save a fortune in labour.

>>53705346
You'd think, right. But the eidolons unionized.

>>53705346
There is a Vigilante Ikea, but it's not open to the public. Also, it switches location too often to be useful.

> ensoulment at 46 apps with three weeks left

Insane. You could comfortably make ten groups... admittedly not all of the highest quality.

Not even a sixth will get in. I sort of want all six to be unexpected picks, just to see the reaction.

Honestly, every other game that's recruiting right now should set themselves back to Mid-July, just so they can pick up all the Ensoulments that don't make it.

>>53705678
But that's precisely the problem. Protag was thinking of cutting Ensoulment short, but then the other games had apps ending just before so he didn't.

>>53705695
That doesn't make sense. Ensoulment is HUGE. The other games are hopelessly small by comparison, except for JttW. Nothing will draw the crowds like Ensoulment, but once liberated some of those players might apply elsewhere.
That said, the extra time to develop Ensoulment is a good thing, imo, so rather than Protagonist cutting the time shorter, the others should just bite the bullet and extend their periods to get more prospective apps, I'd say.

>>53705504
Not in the slightest.

22 Gold a shot for alchemical cartridges if I remember correctly, range is really really bad. Honestly the whole "Secondary ranged weapon" strategy for Pathfinder is a bad one, ranged weapons minus the composite longbow suck on the whole.

I guess that almost makes sense. Plus neither Warlord nor Warder get it, do they? So I bet they wanted one of the three to have it, just to fill the Nature Knowin' Design Space.

>>53701996
I think you're misunderstanding C3. I didn't write her to say "Elves are the ubermensch", in fact she indirectly calls her family fucking idiots in the backstory. C3 calls herself an ubermensch (as per Freddie, not Hitler) and wants to teach others to become the same. She's tyrannical and a megalomaniac, but she's not Hitler.

>>53705937
She needs to die. I'm PMing contacts within the apps as we speak to end her if they make it into the game.

It's over. You've lost.

>>53705995
It's not even like I'm guarenteed to get in and what was the memery about me throwing a shitfit last thread, when have I ever thrown a shitfit when I got rejected?
Why don't you just get into the game yourself if you're so worried lmao

>>53705786
Lots of apps isn't necessarily a good thing. I think most games have their app process too long as it is, they should be closer to 2 weeks, 3 weeks at the most.

>>53705937
>she's not hitler

THATS JUST WHAT HITLER WOULD SAY.

Aren't OD/ZS warders more common than any other kind of warder these days?

>>53706625
ZS builds are more common because they lose nothing to gain access to two-handing, which is much better. I actually only rarely see OD warders, but when I do it's the full meme build.

Personally, I just love having actual skill points, so Int does it for me. That shit is great.

>>53706752
You're right, nothing jumps out as broken because it's just not very good. The advancements it gets to the energy weapon are pretty slow, and the special abilities are locked; shocking as a Weapon Property is frankly kind of shit.

I mean, thanks for pointing me at this, but at the end of the day if I'm gonna play a third party class based around generating energy weapons, I'd prefer to go with the Soulknife proper, since that whole thing is the focus of the class.

>>53706795
I assume those are third party as well? I'll locate them once I've gotten some sleep.

>>53706793
Someone chatted with Exhack on discord. Said it was not a bamboozle and he would extend deadline by a couple of days.

>>53706804
Proofs though because I did the same and he hasn't answered me.

>>53706800
It's from Kineticist of Porphyra and Magitech Archetype (Legendary Games) so they are preapproved.

>>53706804
Then where's the updated character guidelines promised over a fortnight ago? Why doesn't he talk a little on discord or in thread so people know it isn't a bamboozle?

>>53706804
>>53706805
Yeah, homie still hasn't followed up on my request.

>>53706814

I also have left many messages for Exhack in PM's and I haven't heard a thing.

Made my first revision of the Unchained Magus with some of the features I listed in my earlier post. (>>53703094)

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UU4v7RK3ZYuVXH8QfCG-LJYTPfXcACPsWh1QnC04KfM/edit?usp=sharing

Summary of the changes:
Several class features changed to support Two Weapon Fighting.

The Magus chooses magic weapon properties over time, instead of each non-Gnome Magus having the exact same options when enhancing weapons.

Magus gets arcanas more frequently, some of the shittier ones have been rewritten, and he can pick arcanist exploits.

Magus does not gain armor proficiency by leveling up, and can instead choose magus arcana which give him access to medium or heavy armor. You can have heavy armor by 4th level.

When using Spell Combat, you can treat all shields as bucklers, or act as if you are not holding an off-hand weapon.

The magus can sacrifice a spell to make a spellstrike attack that does magical damage which scales with his magus level and the level of the chosen spell, and use Spell Recall as an immediate action afterwards if he so desires. Equivalent to Shocking Grasp at lower levels, gets better at higher levels. With a specific set of arcana, you can turn it into a ray with length equal to your weapon's maximum range that damages all creatures in its path.

Fighter Training is changed to magus level-3, you can choose which class this applies to, for classes which have talents, hexes, and similar things, you can pick those when you gain a magus arcana. With an arcana you can raise your hitpoints as if you were gestalting.

Greater Spell Access pulls from your secondary class, or Wizard if your secondary class does not cast spells.

>>53706811
Pre-approved for what? This discussion wasn't based on a specific game.
