Paizo Games General /pgg/ (Pathfinder & Starfinder)

Have your characters ever gotten into any intrigue? What sort of schemes did they uncover? How'd their courtly antics end?

What's a more sophisticated language to read and speak: Dwarvish or Giant?

Dwarvish seems to average okay
Giant has both Super Stupid Oafs and Ancient Genius Wizard Kings and Shit, doesn't it?
>>
>>53749715
Giant has some pretty ancient things, like Storm Giants on top of mountains. Dwarven is more commonly used, though, and deals with ancient traditions, is often carved into ancient stone... really, I'd say dwarven is more sophisticated, because the dwarves have ancient supreme kings too, but lack the widespread retarded oafs Giants have in their midst.

Is this thread actually about the Pathfinder RPG, or is it just insular discussion between a few select anons (who at that point might as well not be anons). Like wouldn't this sort of discussion be better suited to a Discord? I see very little game discussion going on, all I see is role playing (I think?)
>>
>>53750496
Shit traits... Or ingenious?

What this means is an Elf must be potent and virile to impregnate an Elven Maiden, or the Elf must be especially fertile. This explains Elven birth rates and gives us a hint as to how they reproduce.

The problem is that it's a permanent general. Because of that, when discussion lulls, people start talking about other things. If the general only came up when someone actually wanted to talk about things, it wouldn't be nearly as bad.

One handing swords is shit because no damage
Shields are shit because they force the above situation, while only giving a few points of AC, which is a terrible defense.
Making either good requires a ton of feats, class features, and sometimes maneuvers/stances, and in the end doesn't really justify the massive opportunity costs.

You missed the fertility rules there, mate.

(2d4+8).8+40 (Ovulation)-10
If we take average rolls, that's:
13*.8 (10.4, rounds to 10) + 40 - 10

This gives an elf male a chance 40% chance to impregnate their partner.


That being said, I added some extra rules to Quantity to help our poor elf friends.

Hey what happened to what Paizo said in the beginning, that they wanted to avoid class bloat and wanted to attempt to have the archetype system and feat trees encompass character options. It seemed like a really neat idea that got thrown out in favor of MORE CLASSES! and it's kind of turned me off of the game. I mostly only play it cause the rpg crowd in my town has population 6, and all of them only play 3.P
>>
>>53750615
Yeah, Iron Tortoise is the shield discipline

Realistically a base Warder is still VERY strong, and is the best at sword&board builds

Just another reason for me to like warder, huh?
>>
>>53750590
I do something easy - I find a focus i want to work on, and just work from there. Like casting enchantments, or being a blaster.

focusing makes you very good at a role, but have holes in your strategy. that's good for game balance because it means the GM can arrange for other characters to shine, and it fits literature that's all about mages being focused specialists like summoners and necromancers or whatever.

Th Hybrids are only superfluous because their full-caster counterparts tend to be superior already in Core, especially the Divine Casters

Really, if Cleric and Druid had been built less beefy/gishy, the Warpriest and Hunter would've been perfectly justified.

Also, Arcanist is how Wizard should've been from day one.

Really the only Hybrids that feel superfluous are Swashbuckler and Shaman (even though its one of my favs), since they bring nothing really good or new to the table. Also, Brawler is almost superfluous thanks to the UC Monk, and is barely saved by Shield Champion and the fact that Martial Artist archetype is incompatible with UCMonk

>Druid completely outdoes Hunter
no, they actually do two completely different things. Druid is a nature themed full caster with an animal taped to it. Hunter is a beastmaster archetype with everything in its kit focused on supporting the animal.

they have similarities, yeah, but hunter plays and is built much differently than druid.

Warpriest, sadly, has no such excuse.
>>
>>53750869
Warpriest acts as THE ULTIMATE GISH though, swift action self buffs are AMAAAZING

there's no reason clerics are full BAB tho, fuck that shit
>>
>>53750721
About half of them are amazing, but they could have been archetypes or templates and worked just as well. Like, an anon had already pointed out: The Investigator looks like someone stole the first draft of URogue stuff and hotglued alchemy to it.
>>
>>53750755
I wouldn't say that they're overPOWERED

A bit overloaded? Yes, like most other Bloodforge race
>>
>>53750755
The negative/positive energy races are totally fucking busted. The armor dudes are just fine though.
>>
>>53750805

Is Arcanist more or less powerful than Wizard?
>>
>>53750891
Make Cleric and Druid 1/2 BaB/d6 by default and suddenly the Hunter and Warpriest are now natively pretty goddamn badass.
>>
>>53750869
Hunter is also significantly better at combat until druid gets a meaningful pounce option, and even then has a lot of accuracy advantages and can still build heavily off of move and standard action economy. Sharing teamwork feats, martial weapon proficiency, and early access to ranger spells mean they're consistently swinging hard, especially early on since spells like lead blades normally aren't available to anyone else at 1st level.
>>
>>53750923
Slightly less powerful. They're kinda like semi-prepared Int Sorcerers, and sit between the two in terms of power
>>
>>53750923
More, imagine being a sorcerer that can change your entire spell list EVERY DAY
>>
>>53750904
>>53750908
I'm getting conflicting signals here
>>
>>53750904
I remember the claim Bloodforge races are meant to be comparable to humans and their bonus feat: thus they get a range of strong but more situational options that don't fit every build.

Sometimes this overshoots, like with the Dreige (/everyone/ playing a +STR race wants powerful build), but I think Ethumion is fine, Eiremian is okay.
>>
>>53750948
>especially early on since spells like lead blades normally aren't available to anyone else at 1st level
Except for Transmutation Occultists!
>>
>>53750923
Arcanist is about equal with Wizard. The fact that they get the fewest spells, and the latest access to those spells, really puts a damper on it, but a properly-played Arcanist is still pretty badass.

>>53750948
The only other class I know of that can get its hands on Lead Blades is Occultist.

They also have Enlarge Person, which is also a transmutation spell, and I've been really tempted to do a STR-based Trappings of the Warrior that snags both and smashes face
>>
>>53750755
The original versions were all pretty busted. They updated it but a lot of the overly strong abilities are still there. They're generally not going to be game-breakingly powerful, but each race is basically a normal race with an extra class feature level ability tacked on.
>>
>>53750948
>>53750989
Is Lead Blades really that worth it?
I considered taking it on my Occultist but without a ton of size stacking shenanigans it's only +1d6 damage per attack at most which doesn't seem that significant for a one turn buff.
>>
>>53751000
Infusions is a different book than the updated Bloodforge. The rest is still pretty accurate though since the races seem to be largely balanced to the original Bloodforge races.

>50% of the Overlewds
What? All of the picks got a lot of discussion.
>>
>>53751077
I've never seen a Bloodforge race actually in play.

They're all too special-snowflakey
>>
>>53751066
It also feels strictly worse than Enlarge Person, which gives the size-up AND the extra reach and strength.

I don't see any STR occultist that would take Lead Blades over Enlarge Person as their first level transmutation spell.
You'd need either Page of Spell Knowledge or double transmutation implements to get both.
>>
>>53751077
Have you read Dreige? The things they get are clearly better than half-giants 1/day stomp or whatever.
>>
>>53751035
Since the hunter has martial weapon proficiency it can be significant. A dwarf hunter going from a 1d10 dwarven waraxe to 2d8 is getting 3.5 higher damage on average, or about 1d6 like you said, but when you add that to an actual size increasing effect it starts adding up quick. It's unfortunate that they nerfed Animal Soul since that used to be a great hunter feat.
>>
>>53751109
Get someone to cast enlarge person on you, cast lead blades on self, go to fucking town mang
>>
>>53751109
Or Trappings of the Warrior, which also grants Full BaB.

On one hand, Enlarge Person gives +size, +STR, and +reach. On the other, it's also a double hit to AC and you can't always get it off because you might be in a constricted space.
>>
>>53751109
The benefit is that lead blades an enlarge person stack and are both only first level spells.
>>
>>53751102
I've seen a Merg, Saremir, Ethumion, Eiremian, and a Zenko Kitsune in different games!
>>
>>53751109
One, they stack. Two, AC and attack penalties, which at first level are a nightmare.
>>
>>53751102
Oggr's are basically playabl Orogs so I never had a problem with that. Coreids or whatever those not shardminds seem fine too.
>>
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
>>
>>53751145
>>53751156
From an occultist point of view:
>They can't get both spells unless they sacrifice implement versatility or money
>Spending the first two turns of the fight buffing for +1d6 each time doesn't seem like the best idea

Also
>AC and attack penalties
The attack penalties of large size are countered by the strength boost.

Do you have a spec school?

Typically that helps decide your spell build at the start. You would really do best to grab sleep, color spray, mage armor, and magic missile at level 1. It lands you with everything you really need to begin, but then you can use your extra spells to pick stuff that might be interesting to you.

No PoW? What about other stuff from DSP or Forrest Fire studios? Getting Dex to Damage would help greatly as an archer.

If you can't get Dex or another stat to damage, you might want to pick up Strength a bit more for composite bows to get some static numbers on those bows.

I have the Void Elemental School, which is where I got Keen Senses from Both Shield and Keen Senses are School Spells, and the school itself seems to be designed around mixed Control and Utility.

They're all worth using, but because I wrote them, I might be a bit biased.

Is >>53749138 anon still around? I'd like to get some focus on what you want for this Magus archetype. When you say 'Dashing', are you feeling swashbuckler? Bard song?

Otherwise I got nothing to homebrew, and will be taking requests!

>>
>>53752740

I would say swashbuckler more than Bard song. A duelist and a true gish with great flexibility, utility, heavy status effects (buffs and debuffs especially), surprising bursts of damage were always hallmarks of the Red Mage depending on what game you played.

In FFXI they were one of the few classes able to solo some world bosses via debuffs and buffing themselves into the stratosphere. In other games they would get stuff like Dual Spell to chain cast nasty damage spells together though most classes stole this feature for themselves for maximum cheese and in general they've always been decent at poking with a variety of melee weapons.

Alright!

Charmed Magus is ready to be reviewd. It's a simple archetype that trades Int prepared casting for Cha spontaneous casting.

What's that? You say that's a nerf? Well how about...

6+Int skill points per levels
Ability to draw from the Magus AND bard list?
Add spells you don't know from your spell list for the day!
Cha to AC (And later on Reflexes)

And the ability to smile and wink at an enemy as a Magus Arcana to get them all flustered.

>>53752933
>>53752954

So something that allows you to replicate Ana from Overwatch? I don't think we'll need a full archetype for that, we could replicate that in an item, no?

Or how about a veil?

Let me know what you want and I'll get to it!

>pampered
To some extent, yes, but she mostly spent her time being a literal healslut and raising children. Nobody had names, just "Geneseed" and a number. To some extent they were taught to use magical power and whatnot, in order to test their abilities to see who was the better bred individual.
She had trouble with names, and kept calling people by their race in rusty common. She'd swear like a sailor in elven and act like a stern matron disciplining her children against the party's half-elf. Having lived in isolation with only drow around her she was pretty curious about other races; when she was done healing the party's centaur Cavalier after a fight, she started examining her inside parts like it was putting on makeup.
>>
>>53753566
There's a 3 page scene attached... which is so poorly formatted in tagged it's crazy hard to follow.

But, from what I gleaned, the character definitely isn't an unambitious or contemplative type.
>>
>>53753534
Not necessarily replicate Ana specifically, just something with a bundle of things to give an alternative ranged offensive+utility option to alchemists specifically. Heck, you could make it a series of discoveries if you think that would work better. I tried doing it myself with discoveries + a unique crossbow, but I'm hoping someone with a fresh take might be able to do better.

Not in the slightest, the centaur had been captured and experimented on by lewd Drow previously, also she was a halftime bouncer halftime whore at a bordello. She had no resistance to give.

Oh, absolutely! I'd argue a largely monotheistic setting would actually be more compelling than the polytheism we have now, as Monotheism opens the door to holy wars against the pagans, holy wars against the infidels and grand inquisitions against the heretics.

Remember, early Christianity was huge on reverence of the Saints - those singularly holy people who would receive prayers and whisper them into the ear of God - so you could be a Soldier of the setting's Saint Michael, or a farmer who reveres the setting's Saint Francis.

Nonsense! All you need to do is take the Eberron approach; divine magic exists, divinity probably exists, but the nature of God and that divinity is uncertain. You can thus have virtuous pagans casting Goodly magic or corrupt Priests casting vile sorceries, but ultimately the thing that matters is the character's adherence to their faith. Do they well and truly believe what they are doing is in the name of their God? Than they should receive their powers - this places an emphasis on holy doctrine and your character's ability to work within it more than "Do I have LG on my sheet and act like a good person? Okay, then here we go."

>>53753920
What's wrong with that? Saints are an exquisite way to have a pseudo-polytheism in a setting (or just a religion) that is explicitly Monotheistic. There is but one God, but He has servants who receive His message.

Here's the fix to magus:
Level 1 get 1d6 pool strike thing that progresses +1d6 per odd level, spend arcane pool for level d6, pick element when cast, maybe provokes like normal casting, also bonus feat of either Weapon Finesse, or Power Attack
Level 2 and every even is arcana, also spellstrike
Level 3 is spell combat
Chassis gets 4+int skills, casting and proficiency with medium armor.

Arcane pool doesn't whitelist specific enhancement options

Shit but """flavorful""" archetypes get turned to arcana
Bigger archetypes for major playstyle shifts like eldritch archer, or kensai
Archetypes for 3pp subsystems like PoW, or SoP
Arcana for not!deadly strikes to appease the non-PoW using dexfriends
Arcana for Heavy Armor Prof/Casting

Pretty great, if a bit masturbatory towards the player characters who swiftly become veritable demigods. There's a moment in Book 5 featuring Iomedae (as in, the Goddess herself) showing up and bothering the PCs, but any reasonable DM with a reasonable party will never run issue with that.

Overall, I'd give it two thumbs up, if the first book was handled well and the DM acknowledges the shortcomings of Mythic in the hands of powergamers.

>I heard it was a dumpster fire.

Just like people say Irabeth sold a Holy Avenger to buy a gender change potion for Anevia when the truth of the matter was she sold a bog-standard +2 Cold Iron Longsword for it, and the Holy Avenger they talk about (known as Radiance) was stolen by Cultists after his wielder waged a One Woman Crusade against the Worldwound.

They also like to say the book's in your face about Anevia having once been a man when, in truth, that was always a deeply buried backstory thing you'd only find out if you got engrossed enough into the character to sit down and talk it out with her.

You shouldn't go by what people say here, especially when all they're saying is "the thing's shit" without giving details. Mythic's problems are trap options and an overpowered path, the former being an issue we've had since feats were invented and the latter being quite manageable with a sympathetic caster who isn't a huge cockmunching faggot about their power fantasies.

Akashic mysteries.png
97KB, 576x203px
>>53754728
>>53754642

So! Let's talk Akashic Mysteries.

What is Akasha? It's a port from the 3.5 book Magic of Incarnum.

What's Incarnum/Akasha? The basic idea is that you use your LIFE ESSENCE and a bit of magic to make pseudo-magic items. So you can make a helmet that allows you to see better, gauntlets that allow you to have claw attacks, or in this >>53754627 case, a wrist mounted dart launcher.

Mechanically speaking, it's simple. Veil weaver's have a list of veils (The not!magic items) that they can create, and an amount they can create each day. These veils have a ton of effects, some being active, some being passive, and you can mix and match at the start of each day.

'Shaping' a veil is basically the same as 'Preparing' a spell, except veils aren't expended, they continue to provide their benefits.

Now, these veils also have Essence and Binds.

Essence is your 'life force' (Not Hit points) that you can shove into veils. While Veils are shaped per day, Essence is 'invested' as a swift action, and can be done so any time you spend the swift action to do so.

If you imagine your character as a star-fighting ship, 'Diverting powers from engines to shields' is similar to what the purpose of Essence is. Each veil has an essence benefit, so you can shuffle them around as you need the benefits.

Finally, there's the 'Binds'. Binds are super-charging the veils. Binds are unlocked as class features or feats, and give you the final power of the veil, as long as it's shaped and bind.

If you can grasp all that, congratulations! You know Akasha! There's some fiddly stuff (Like you can't shape two headband veils, veils can be temporarily disrupted with sunder attempts, maximum essence investments, etc), but that's about it!

I can go into more details if it interests you. Akasha is something with a *LOT* of potential, so I really enjoy it, even if Akashic Mysteries wasn't it's best foot forward.

I kinda got the idea of it just from looking at ability descriptions, but I still haven't gotten around to looking at actual mechanics. Like, I can just take a feat to get a particular veil and that's it? Does it overlap with actual magic items? What /is/ the essence cap?

Still a damn shame that my GM is would likely never go for it, though.

>Feats
Yes, you can.

Shape Veil and Access Low/Medium/High Chakra slot feats exist to nab veils.

When I write the veils for the homebrew, I provide a feat that combines those two feats into one, so really you're just spending a feat for the shape effect, and getting the bind effect at a later level. I really don't think the two feats for one veil is necessary, con

>Overlaps with magic items
In 3.5, Soulmelds (Veils) did compete with magic items, which sucked. Akasha did away with that, since it was a common house rule to just throw that rule out the window.

>Essence cap
Essence is gained from class features or feats (Or some items!). You can only put so much essence into it (See picture), but class features, feats, and items raise this cap.

>GM won't go for it.
You can't force him to read it, but besides Daevic, most of the stuff in the book is pretty balanced!
>>
>>53755070
Neat. On feedback of the injection veil specifically, shooting allies looks a little fiddly (since you'd be trying to hit an ally's AC, unless I missed something), and the Binding effect specifically being mutagen-related doesn't really feel applicable to EVERY kind of alchemist, but that might just be a problem with the alchemist having too much bullshit taped onto it as well as there being archetypes that specifically forbid you from retaking mutagen
>>
>>53755145
Spaced out the text in the veil to help highlight the
bit where attacking allies doesn't require an attack roll (Still an attack action, though).

As for the bind; yeah, I can't really do much with people trading away their mutagen, but I really wanted a 'You're powered up, get in there' type feel for the bind.

Is there any alchemist archetype that trades away bombs and mutagens? We can throw in bomb-bolts too for those who don't have mutagens.
