Pathfinder General /pfg/

How stupidly has your character ever dressed up for the sake of magic items? Or some other reason?

At one point, my character was forced to wear vibrant orange slippers into combat, despite being a fairly dark and brooding sort. The reason for this was because they were the only 'Boots of the Winterlands' we had on hand, and an unnatural blizzard came over a town.

>Biting their tongue would have been useless due to the fact that healing such a thing would have been trivial.
Sticking on severed limbs requires Regenerate.

>http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/r/regenerate/

Shit if a 7th level spell is trivial you don't need to take prisoners, or at least not ask them shit, you can just extract information from their mind. Sticking limbs back on requires really high level casters. Even if you're gonna pay for it to be put back on then you're gonna need to find a 13th level cleric.

>>54137146
I prefer to play my elves as less subservient and more maternal/paternal due to their advanced age. Most of the other core races tend to act for the short term (in the mind of an elf). Elves are tottally prone to one night stands. After all they live forever. They need something to fill the gap, and what better way than by filling gaps (my girlfriend would facepalm for that pun...). But in terms of being a faithful waifu, or even just a partner, that would take a lot more time (by human standards).

Elves are all hermaphrodite because they had too much evolutionary pressure against being female. None of the females were allowed to have even children, always used to breed the other races instead. Now we have hateful herm elves that can work you over like a piece of meat in a butchers shop

Hokay, so, GM in need of some encounter-building advice.

I'm going to be running for a party that has a SoP Elementalist blaster-caster, a Pummeling brawler, a mageknight that does warp sphere shenanagans with Vital Strike, and a rogue that mostly does bomb stuff on the run from Underground Chemist+Scout. They're level 8ish, and basically will be able to dish out some pretty good damage, particularly in the brawler's case, while being able to move around.

I don't have a problem with this but I've been going too easy on my players for too long, and I'm curious what are some good ways to make an engaging challenge for a party that has terrific single-target damage but kind of meh area control in a desert-based dungeon crawl. I'm thinking I wanna put a lotta extra beef in my encounters for them so they can feel awesome by blowing through burly minions while at the same time not being able to just focus-fire the boss to death right away?

What's the difference between the shortbow and the composite shortbow?
>>
>>54137697
Composite gives a strength bonus to the damage.

Composite+2 means you need 14 Strength to wield it, but it does +2 damage per shot.
>>
As a player, not GM, what books should I attempt to get?
>>
>>54137734
None. Everything you might ever need is on the SRD.
>>
>>54137759

OK then...which ones are obligatory to read?
>>
>>54137734
Core book, Advanced Player's Guide, Advanced Class Guide, Advanced Race Guide, Pathfinder Unchained. Contains most everything you need to cause your GM to break down in tears.
>>
>>54137837
The sections that relate to whateverthefuck it is your character will be doing.

Know your class abilities, know your trained skills, etc. If you're gonna attack, know the rules for it. If you're gonna cast, know the rules for it. You get the point.
>>
>>54137837
You should also check out the PathfinderWiki and just... Start reading, seriously just find a page and start tabbing up anything with a blue name. The setting is vast and knowing it will make your characters so much better. My advice for a beginner is to start with the Inner Sea and work from there.

His army looked permanently shite (dirty and rusty despite being a +3 Defiant noqual full-plate), his shield had a bronze sheen, one of his swords was pink, he wore half a skull for a mask, his pauldrons looked like fists, his cloack was feathered, he wore green goggles and had high-heeled rider's boots in addition to having naturally formed wings, looking two categories older than he is and the permanent odor of gutted fish permeating through all of his clothing. If he didn't have a spare hat of disguise he'd look like a circus freak most of his time outside of his home.

Creating a gauntlet-type challenge for my group, still in the preliminary stages but need to know if my first encounter is missing anything at least thematically.

10 cr 23 ecorches (16 base + broken soul + dune sage + jotunblooded sand giant templates) 3-4 great wyrm ravener red dragons and the fire scorpion kaiju in a massive dessert during a huge sandstorm.

This will be for a party of competent level 20s, I will be adjusting HP and AC upwards as appropriate because high level PF Hp is a joke
>>
>>54138405
>3 great wyrm dragons
Unless you play them like retards, that alone should wipe a 20th level party trivially.

What is the most pointless magus arcana, and why is it Broad Study?
>>
>>54138481
The best part is that if your other class used to be able to cast arcane spells while ignoring ASF for certain types of armor, you can't do it after picking Broad Study.
>>
>>54138447
I'm full aware of how to play red dragons, but their spell selection is less than optimal and this is a full level 20 party that has full WBL and will most likely have a knowledge bot with +50 or more to every knowledge.

I fail to see how the wyrm's spells will get past the variety of common immunities PCs have from magic items

At least Broad Study can pretend it can do something, however poorly, rather than being aggressively wasteful garbage. Shit like Ranger's Trap, Arcane Edge, and Errata'd Arcane Deed are just straight up worthless.

Doesn't have grab on its nat attacks, doesn't have improved grapple, you take a penalty on CMB rolls equal to the damage you take from an AoO provoked by attempting a maneuver. It's a huge risk, turns off a lot of its power from spells, also they're Raveners, so AMF turns off almost all their abilties

The captain's existential crisis about the correlation between the size of one's sword and the size of that person's treasure trove and the ship's aasimar disliking demon worshiping giants who took up a contract to retrieve something very old from a slightly less old place filled with nasties. The ship's "cook" (read: melon head goblin that has interesting ideas about the creation of the universe) also added too much black powder to the cannons, so they boomed too late and woke up the linnorm, prompting the brave captain to defy rules as written and taking ten every turn in his acrobatics to stay attached to the giant snake.

As for the unique crew that include an ifrit, an alufiend, an azata, the aforementioned golden dragon and an ancient Azlanti wizard: They are a whole 'nother module.

That is what I was worried about. Stick with a bow and hang way in the back. Sling spells. The extra channeling might not be worth the risk. The focus on channeling is the whole reason and if you cannot hit things with it then what is the point?

It really depends. Most people don't naturally see the personal biases they hold as being racist. On one end, a person who merely operates under stereotypes without ever vocalizing or even recognizing what he's thinking might very easily be "redeemed". However confronting someone who is outwardly bigoted out of a conscious feeling of indifference or superiority would be far harder to change. Not only would that person have to confront the personal biases they hold and acknowledge that they are incorrect, by doing so they'd also be forced to reflect on their own past actions.

What if they did and said hurtful and harmful things in their past and not just held bigoted biases? Can they still be theoretically redeemed?

I can already tell this thread is going to go nice places.

>>54140366
If they are remorseful and apologize to the people he was racist towards, not as a whole but individuals he has directly racisted towards. Then he needs to baptize himself, find a red haired inventor woman, raise a city to the sky and steal his own baby from himself, go back to his racist ways and take them to the extreme and usher in an era where he will rain fire upon the rest of the world and-Wait, have I seen this plot somewhere? Why is my nose bleeding?
>>
>>54140366
We all hold biases. It's human nature to categorize things. Hell, I'm colorblind (in the biological sense, not in the "I don't see race" sense) and even I have no choice but to hold some biases when I approach something. If they've said hurtful and harmful things that they didn't really mean, things that consciously they look at and say what the f**k, they can probably be redeemed pretty easily. The amount of difficulty would again depend on the severity of the actions and the will of the individual (as well as the emphasis your players put on the severity of that action to a degree. Everyone has a different sense of what is morally acceptable.).
>>
>>54140366
I mean, it's not really "redemption," I think. The character grows as a person, and aims to do better. That's that. It has no greater effect. Their past actions are still part of them, it's not magically made better. To the people they hurt, they'll likely always be considered an asshole.

It's not about being "washed of your sins" or whatever. It's about trying to be less shitty in the future.
>>
>>54140449
It depends. If by redemption he means grow as a person, simply acknowledging and fixing the outward biases they portray would be enough. But if it's redemption in the more traditional hero's journey sense, the individual has to bring back with him something more than a personal understanding.

A player of mine wants to play a Mighty Godling. After looking up Godlings it seems that even though the spellcasters are bullshit the Mighty and Clever Godlings seem decently tier 3. Anyone have any experience with Mighty Godlings? I'd like a second opinion before I finalize my decision.
>>
>>54140694
Explain, all the male characters are kinda crap while all the lady Knights are cute.
>>
>>54140782
It's a giant cluster of option abilities, so it's more work properly assess than I'm willing to put in right now.

That said, ask him to show you a complete character, with an example of what it'd be in a few levels. Judge based off that.
>>
>>54140891
The fact that the best thing you can say about the ladyknights is that they're cute is kind of telling, anon.
>>
>tfw didnt make a ladyknight so now I wont get in

oh well
>>
>>54140782
I will say that the fact each next rank of their powers costs as much as the rank, they're going to end up slightly more specialized than it appears.
>>
>>54140782
I have some experience with the goidling classes.

Mighty and Clever are decent, but the two spellcasting ones? Nope right the fuck out. As long as you stick to the martials, you should be good, however.
>>
>>54141035
This right here. I've seen people (probably just Sappy samefagging) saying that Tuv has shit taste for putting Cyrielle in tier 3, but all they'll say in defense of the character is that she's cute. Tell me why she belongs anywhere but tier 3 without resorting to "cute" and I'll give her a second look.
>>
>tfw I'm literally the only entirely non-spellcaster in tier 2 for WotR
I'm not even sure whether this means I'm likely to get in or very unlikely to get in. :U
>>
>>54141263
>Tell me why she belongs anywhere but tier 3 without resorting to "cute" and I'll give her a second look.
She's a well written character and is one of the few that actually has a purpose that extends beyond the end of the game. That alone is more interesting and a better reason to be part of the crusade than the parade of "I'm here because hate demons" characters. I'd ask you in return, why does she belong in tier 3, because as far as I can tell the only reason she's there is because she dares to be a girl without massive tits.
>>
>>54140782
At first glance, unless there's way to get more trait points, people won't be coming in with the more useful ones like trophy hunter IV until 10.

Also They can get all their saves based on str, int or cha.
Some other good stuff you can do, and I didn't look at archetypes, but with the rules minutia and the abundance of stuff the players are liable to 'accidentally' forget about certain limitations of powers.
>>
>>54141541

You're applying your own subjective measures of quality to your own app, and asking why other people don't see eye to eye.

App writing quality has nothing to do with getting into games because I've seen many horrendous apps get accepted. Goals beyond the end of the game are likewise meaningless, your character will change a lot and experience a lot over the course of 20 levels and 10 mythic tiers, I doubt anyone could come out the end of WotR and just shrug their shoulders and go home. I would even posit that a predetermined long term goal is worse than allowing such a thing to develop naturally as part of the emergent story telling that is the entire point of PnP.
>>
>>54141686
>You're applying your own subjective measures of quality to your own app, and asking why other people don't see eye to eye.
It's not my app, anon. And you asked for the reasons I thought she deserved to be ranked higher without invoking cute, so I gave them. Writing quality is a big one for me since these people are going to be posting about their game for months down the line and I'd much rather see that from well written, interesting characters than from ones that got in because LOL TITS.

What languages are known and what characters do they use? If you have some kind of runic language or one using characters, you may be able to carve the "words" into a bit of flesh more easily than writing in a language with letters. If the wizard has Arcane Mark, you may be able to write something in magic on a surface. A carefully applied corrosive might be able to melt the walls into a wall.

>tfw you found a game and it's awesome but now your housemate is adopting a baby and maybe that's going to fuck everything up

>>54143152
Holy shit, how long has that game been recruiting? Didn't it start shortly after Blingmaker finished?

>>54143265
Like >>54143275 and >>54143276, but you should also know that applies retroactively. If your character starts with 16 INT, they start with three extra languages (because they have a +3 mod). If they put on a Headband of Vast Int +4, they gain two languages (which are tied to the headband at creation, you can't change the languages by taking it off any putting it back on) because your INT mod when up by 2. If you gain an extra point in your INT from leveling up and it causes you to gain a mod, you gain a language.

Now, I don't know if INT drain cuts you off from languages in a similar way. I don't think it says anywhere that it should, but it might be implied from the whole thing about losing things you qualify for when you stop qualifying. It's not really quite the same situation though.

>>54143403
Depends on the context and the campaign, but generally you probably want to pick up the racial languages of core races, followed by "planar languages" and draconic, followed by other stuff like Sylvan or Goblin, followed by WEIRD other stuff... like Mi-Go or Sphinx.

And I enjoy the discovery part of scouring rules for combos. Here's one for you War soul soulknife who gets to level four and takes the blade skill that lets you form a mindblade as a copy of any of your discipline weapons. Knowing fools errand allows you to choose all weapons which includes advanced or tech firearms. Gestalt or multiclass with gunsmoke mystic for rapid reload with all guns and the ability to reload without free hands. Now you are two feats, prodigious twf and stupendous strength, away from wielding any two handed firearm as a light 1 hander. So double shotguns, double thark rifles, whatever. Going some levels in fighter would help out the feat count

Honestly, I'd rather have the latter of those than the former. That's kind of like saying I'd rather get shot than stabbed, but someone who jokes about my decisions is probably not doing it out of malice, even if they end up making me uncomfortable.

>>
>>54143117

>>54143482
It's a complete toss up unless you expect to be dealing with devils or demons. If you're summoning one of them, or if expect one to be a common enemy in the campaign, pick that. Otherwise... It probably doesn't matter.

It's worth noting that a lot of outsiders speak Infernal, Abyssal, AND Celestial regardless of what they are. Mostly the strongest ones, but still.

The characterization. Character interactions is what makes for interesting stories.

For instance, you know what FF14 did to make a villain relatable? they made a character that was utterly unlikable. they made him now care about the lands he'd conquered; all he cared about was the next fight, and how fun it would be, no matter the fact that he always won.

And the players of the game love it, because he's an exact foil of their mentalities in the game; a hardcore MMO player plays because the combat is fun, finding challenging fights and figuring out how to beat them, with the story just being a vehicle for such combat and ideas. I'd almost say it was completely genius.

I posted the Black Iron Knight Antipaladin archetype to the thread roughly... four or five-ish months ago? Admittedly, it's a straight conversion of Knight Disciple, as this antipaladin archetype APPEARS to be, but there's a number of other similarities.

I'm not mad about it at all- this stuff will never see use in a game, and TPK games and Thealtruisticork is a Ssalarn-tier shitcock. This playtest is shoddily put-together and the Copypasta signs are extremely obvious. And balance is just straight up gone from it. One example?

Their magus archetype trades out cantrips for stances... and that's it. Not even Reduced Spellcasting like the Polymath or Warpath Follower.

It also has this as a Magus Arcana

>"-Martial Spellstrike: By expending two points from his arcane pool when using the spellstrike class feature (or some equivalent class feature), the sublime warmage may perform a martial strike in place of a normal attack roll when using spellstrike. The strike must take a standard action, and the spell is only applied to the first attack made with the maneuver."

>>54144406
All are equally unlikely.

Tieflings are seldom direct descendants, but the result of fiendish corruption, not reproduction.

The only tieflings that are the common result of reproduction, I'll note, are succubus-spawn. Or the spawn of similar creatures.

>>54144460
the rules support big guys helping crew and load firearms but not really carry and shoot in timely manner. still takes multiple full round (or move with master siege engineer) to load and aim. You are best off grabbing a culverin, which itself is a baby version of a bombard/cannon, and scaling it up in size. That way you have a weapon that has a weight and is susceptible to rapid reload. Alternatively you can go for tech weapons and grab a rocket launcher.

Blaster archetype Armorist.
Armorist is from Spheres of Power, Blaster archetype is from The Destroyer's Handbook. Both are in the trove.

Gets you a magical boomstick that you can fluff however you want. The range sucks (Close) and the damage is only 1d6 until 5th level, but it can be used for full iteratives and Rapid Shot with no feat investment.
Not great, per se, but a hell of a lot better than most 1pp firearm users.

It's isn't. This is fucking 4chan, rape jokes are nothing new here. Sex is nothing new here. Fuck Njolly was more than happy to exchange somewhat sexual images with the thread.

DHB amuses plenty. Good party member, nice guy all-round and his homebrew makes for good fun.

2hu needs to be less emo about running games, but he's basically a delight if you need to ask someone about mechanics.

Long story short there were two Discord chats that were made, one that was made first then one made later for people who wanted to talk about porn. Broodie, the guy who ran the porn one didn't like some of the people in the non-porn one and cheekily called it that Cabal after locking it so that it's invite-only.

Drama occasionally springs up here due to the fact that we can see each other's names there but we're still mostly anon here, combined with the fact that many people in the two Discord groups have begun to run games (with the inevitable salt that springs forth from that sort of thing).

PF runs perfectly fine without magic, I'm sorry that you can't deal with not having 100% optimal builds centered around gear.

Part of a DM's job is to tailor challenges to PCs.

Quit being lazy and overreliant on meta and optimization.
>>
>>54145686
The absolute best way, though admittedly the way that also winds up being a giant time sink, to do encounter design is to grab your player's sheets and test run the encounter a few times.
See what happens if they do their usual stunts, adjust the encounter so it feels right, repeat until you're satisfied.
As you do this more and more you start to get a sense for how things will go before you even start running it for the first test.

If you don't have a party to practice with, I'd suggest just whipping up a party or using your last group's characters.

>>
>>54145883
Pathfinder is kinda tough without magic healing, a way to heal negative levels, a way to heal ability drain, decent area attacks for swarms, and ways to hit ghosts that don't require an assload of ghost salts.

There are workarounds, but the system kind of assumes a certain amount of shit is taken care of with magic, so going low magic guts some of the game. Most people feel it guts enough of it to warrant use of a different system entirely, since there are some out there that are balanced for no magic. It's up to you, obviously. Just know some people are going to scoff at you without even reading it.

That sounds like high magic.
>>
>>54146015
Yeah, I'm just trying to explain their reactions, since they didn't. It might take you a bit to get actual feedback, but saying low magic is going to get you a lot of people disregarding it straight away. If you think it's solid, stick with it.
>>54146025
If it starts at low level, it'll be a bit before you reach it. Those lower levels would be kinda rough, but anon says there's a spell list of a sort, so it sounds like they handled it.
>>54146028
Depends on how high the spell level goes. Some may consider a handful of level 3 and lower spells chosen for utility to be lower magic, especially if you don't get many of them. Constructive criticism may be to express to anon that they may want to call it mid-magic instead of low, as you feel it's more fitting.

>>54146025
I'd rather not blow a feat to get what should be basic fucking functionality for a skill, thanks.

Again, no thanks.
