So has anyone attempted to do custom weapon modifications yet, or is it too soon for those to really be a thing?

Anon, language is constantly evolving. "Literally" is also usable as an intensifier. Check the Merriam-Webster, or the OED if you're feeling particularly uptight.

I actually played a game where somebody got booted for buying sheep and trying to train them to circle him so he could trigger AoO from them and Cleave the enemy for each sheep that got near enough.

I dunno, I just always figured that calling it a mental illness just made it seem more complicated than it is: people just feeling insecure about their body and identity that htey want to try to fix it by changnig said identity.

Yet to me it always seemed silly, and always felt like they were just tring to redefine themselves based upon a societal/cultural mindset that the feel too afraid to leave behind, instead choosing a more drastic method that allows themselves to feed a martyr complex rather than just choosing to not give a fuck what other people think and learning to be comfortable with themselves.

Then again, I'm a literal diagnosed autist, so chances are there is some nuance I may be missing. Still, all I'm saying is wanting to wear dresses does not make you trn into a woman, and that if weraing dresses in your thing, then you shouldn't be ashamed of it and try to do so regardless of the cultrual norm. Lord knows here are plenty of men that look fabulous in dresses without compromising their masculinity, like Bowie. And as for the ladies, well I grew up around tomboys and female military personnel, so the idea of a girl wanting to be a boy seemed silly to me since they already have much more leeway in how to live and style themselves compared to men, that I'd expect they would be brave in regards to following their own interests regardless of cultural norms, while still being able to accept their own femininity. Then again that situation probably not indicative of he whole, so I could be wrong.

Again, this whole thing regarding "gender dysphoria" has me mostly confused, and while I have some opinion, I will admit I may be missing some nuance and context towards the whole deal, because the whole bruhaha of it being "a mental disorder" yet also being used by some people as a badge of honor js leaves me a tad unsure about the whole thing, especially since growing up I've had to sit in sessions with people who actually were really nuts
>>
>>54340284
You're literally missing the entire point.
Brains of trans people are literally measurably fucked with this being recorded in autopsies.
It's one of the extremely few mental illnesses that fucks up the brain so hard it can be detected in an autopsy.
That's as far from a whimsy feeling as you can get.

>>54340306
They also have a ton of autopsies to base it off of because of how astoundingly high the suicide rate is for the poor fucks :^)
>>
>>54340366
That's because gender dysphoria is pretty much pure, distilled suffering in severe cases.
It can be extremely mentally painful to the pain that the feeling alone drives you suicidal.
>>
>>54340259
I kind of see it like,

>One lacks a body, but can be placed inside forms
>One is a machine and fights by your side
>One is a machine and you get into it
>>
>>54340382
>to the point
Fuck my inability to type right.
>>
>>54340366
Which is sad really, because suicide rate is much higher post-op. I guess it's because eventually they realize that no matter how much they mutiliate their genitals, they never can truly be the desired gender.
>>
>>54340160
Kithlord is very strong for Halflings. Note that it oddly works well with Kith Hunter, as Kinslayer gives a racial bonus that Kithlord would boost. Covering Strike makes you a hell of a defender letting you AoO anyone that hits your allies, take the Snap Shot line of feats and you can do it from a safe distance too. I wouldn't go past level 7 though unless you have something silly planned for the level 10 capstone.
>>
>>54340316
Isn't Arcforge being released soon? That also looked pretty unfinished. The monster classes were also kinda ludicrous, though they did come with a warning that they were ludicrous.
>>
>>54340306
Hmm I guess that does support it. That was the missing piece of information I needed. I always refrained from dedicating to tha position since I felt it could've been construed as offensive to trannies and possibly those with mental disorders, but now that I know this I guess I can feel less confused about the whole situation. Though of course it still will be smart to avoid bringing it up in polite society and most forms of communication.

I just always was unsure since from my perspective they seemed much more high-performance and operational than many of he other autistic kids, and a few of the tourrettes kids, that I've had to associate with as part of my counseling and mandatory basic skills classes

>I just always was unsure since from my perspective they seemed much more high-performance and operational than many of he other autistic kids
Gender dysphoria, as the name says, mainly causes dysphoria aka intense suffering as a symptom. Transitioning helps reduce this suffering, but it's virtually impossible to remove it entirely.
The suffering itself can be debilitating, but there are no other consistent effects from it.

Bloodforge looks completely nutso, granted, but what's so bad about DSP overall? At least relative to a lot of 1PP and the vast majority of 3PP schlock out there.

To be fair, I guess DSP couldn't have gotten more help with Psionics and PoW, they were standing on the shoulders of giants. Once they deviated from that, are they just not much better than other 3PP?
>>
>>54340406
There is a question though as to how many people are actually transsexual, and how many thought they were because they thought being the other gender would be so much better, and solve all their problems. Discovering that it doesn't, and realizing that they wasted all that time, effort, and money on an idealized goal that fell out from under them.

Though I do agree with this anon here (>>54340264) and will say that perhaps we'll see more C3-PO, R2-D2, Interstellar-esque "TARS" robots, or even that dog from Doctor Who, K-9, rather than, yknow, EDI or a Synth from Fallout 4 (who are really more like Androids, now that I think about it.) I guess my ideal for robot companions in Starfinder will be like ED-E from New Vegas and BT-7274 from Titanfall 2.

Anyways, enough talk about robots. Mongrel is the next PrC, and it will be up SOON!

Imbalanced relative to what? It has to be imbalanced compared to something. First-party? Itself? I was under the impression that PoW classes all sat around Tier 3 ability, which seems like halfway decent balance to me. Certainly better than Paizo has done, themselves.

>>
>>54340624
Tiers aren't the only metric of balance, as they measure only versatility and nothing else.
PoW explodes encounters in a ridiculous manner, overshadowing all 1pp options in combat.
>>
>>54340623
See that's the thing, I don't even think Ssalarn designed them as trap options, he's just dumb.
>>
>>54340624

Tiers are a pretty big meme. What's more important is the ability to design challenges around a party. A party with a god wizard is pretty happy because the party enjoys narrative control. A party PoW martials has little narrative control (Other than destroying dungeon design via veiled moon) but their damage output is so high that they invalidate any other contributions. For example, a level four character without any effort, if using PoW, could attack 2-3 times a round on a standard+swift with a two handed weapon, and also using a stance that passively boosts damage.

I've got an initiating archetype okayed for my character, and we just hit level 4. I'm thinking I'll take mostly Golden Lion, Scarlet Throne, and Primal Fury for my shitty Dexfag build, so pretty much just Scarlet Einhander and something else for my stances.

What maneuvers should I take, though? I seriously doubt my group's going to need more damage, so I'd rather focus on buffs or mobility.
>>
>>54340863

Massively reduce the cost. But really don't bother, they function okay in Iron Gods and are unlikely to be seen anywhere else.
>>
>>54340920

There are only fucking 12 choices. Just look at them and choose the ones that are buffs or mobility.

>>54340923
>they function okay in Iron Gods
Literally objectively worse than advanced firearms.
Moreover, they can't ignore energy resistance or hardness, while a lot of enemies have at least one of the two, sometimes both.
Shooting a laser rifle at an Annihilator Robot, you're looking at -40 damage per hit.
Shooting a regular rifle with adamantine bullets at the same enemy, you deal full damage.

Yes they are. Tech weapons the deal electricity bypass the hardness, there's an EMP pistol in book 2.

It's a fucking example, m8.
Most robots have hardness, meaning that the guy with a trusty regular rifle and adamantine bullets is objectively better off than the guy with a fancy laser rifle.

>Tech weapons the deal electricity bypass the hardness
That is a houserule, not RAW.
You're applying absolutely irrelevant object rules to creatures, which is fucking wrong and devs clarified it's wrong.
>>
>>54341058
JJs word of God says electric damage go through, so it is effectively raw
>>
>>54341080
See the entirety of hardness rules:
>Each object has hardness—a number that represents how well it resists damage. When an object is damaged, subtract its hardness from the damage. Only damage in excess of its hardness is deducted from the object’s hit points
That's it. Nothing else is specific to hardness.
All other rules on the "Damaging Objects" page are exclusive to objects and don't magically transfer to creatures with hardness, which has even been confirmed in an official FAQ.
>>
I would make all tech weapons 18-20/x2 this gives them better synergy with the techslinger archetype

You funcking titmonkey. We already went through this few threads ago. Hardness on creatures is just Dr and resist rolled into one that can stack with Dr and resist. It doesn't work the same as objects

The half damage clause has nothing to do with Hardness though. That's an inherent property of objects. There is no reason why creatures with hardness would take half damage from energy in the first place

>Is this any good? Full CL with two spheres seems great, but I have no idea what the Dark sphere even does.
It primarily does 2 thing. One, it allows buffs and utility while in dark places, and 2 its is used as battlefield control by creating areas and fields of Darkness which also often has some kind of additional effect added to it. It also has some other minor utility iirc, but I can't recall as I never got the Nyctomancer book

But a lot of the Psionic and PoW pages point to broken pages or with complete shit layout, to the point where I just pretend that they don't exist on d20pfsrd. It doesn't even actually have Ultimate Psionics on it, it's all from all the way back from Psionics Unleashed, so even stuff like racial archetypes are completely missing.

This is true. Bloodforge /is/ a shorter book than either Path of War or Psionics book, mind you, and I wanted to get it done sort of as a "proof of concept" in order to say, "yeah, man, I'll build an SRD, look at this book, it's up here in its entirety."

I /will/ get to UltPsi and Path of War/Expanded, I promise you that, but for now I'm gonna finish Bloodforge because it's like 75% done at the moment. Don't quote me on those numbers though, I'm not a mathematician

Around these bonfires, the clergy of Shelyn perform marriage ceremonies, where the whole community gathers to witness and affirm the bonds of love.

Talk possible future plans, joke around.

Sometimes you try to plan side scenes or talk character interaction with other PCs. But that usually doesn't work. People don't give a shit about anybody else's PCs unless they duo apped or they were already friends before the game started. If you didn't get in on the circlejerk early, you get shut out.

>>54342604
Who?
>>
>>54342598
I write fiction involving party members, talk about the characters with other players, do downtime RP, expand on meaningless trivia about my character's past and their place in the world, talk to the GM about lore or other characters, and post here.

Sometimes I just ask random background or personality questions so we talk about our characters quite a bit. The setting is pretty involved, and I like hearing about other people's characters a lot, so there's usually something to talk about if we aren't just joking about this or that.

To be fair, that's pretty nearly exactly what I thought when I saw them. I've never gotten to try PoW, so I still have lingering thoughts of how cool they would be. Sounds like the execution was less than wonderful.
>>
>>54343396
They fit those themes to a T, at least those 3 disciplines.

If you're using them to just full-attack more often or pump out more damage you're just using worse versions of primal fury

>>54343404
From what I've heard, PoW is pretty much a damage upgrade, and none are as good at that as Primal and Broken. If I ever do get to play it, I'll probably sacrifice power for a more thematic feel, honestly. I can make something filthy strong already. The disciplines just seem nice for flavor and a touch of combat versatility. That doesn't mean they're balanced, of course. What matters is what COULD be done with them, so I understand why my GM is less than willing to allow them.
>>
>>54343404

Riven Hourglass is high on damage and the utility of the discipline is insane. Better than Primal Fury in my opinion. Autohypnosis is also a great discipline skill because it gives semi fear immunity
>>
>>54343453
It's a damage upgrade if you're bad at making martial builds in 1pp. Except in case of burst damage, No amount of PoW can consistently out dpr a 2h TWFing alchemist with vestigal arms + nat attacks. I think the latest build I made has a +45 on it's lowest imperatives and does something like 1600 dpr before factoring in its crit-fishing
>>
>>54343483
Over-all it's better, i agree on that. However people only seem to take its damage dealing strikes and boosts rather than all the goodies that make you essentially immortal and uncrowdcontrollable
>>
>>54343393
Lots of channels show old movies over and over again. All those STARS and the like will occasionally have the MAtrix play, and its common to have them play in anticipation to other movies coming out, like how a few stations marathoned the Matrix films around the time when John Wick 2 was coming out, so they could ride the Keanu wave
>>
>>54343534

I think the best part of RH is that it has possibly the strongest boost in all of PoW, an extra attack. Maybe only second to perma self haste at level 5.

Cracked Opalascent White Prism Ioun Stone. It's the one that gets you a weapon proficiency I think.

Also, speaking of DSP and Initiators, the effect of Warrior's Girdle (no ACP on Acrobatics or Climb checks) is an absolute godsend to have for any Acrobatics-focused Discipline like PT, BB, or TD, if you happen to be wearing Heavy Armor. It's also good for heavy armor Fool's Errand users, because it also affects Climb.

Chimeric Body Stance by itself makes it OP. The LotW feats also make Steel Serpent combos with it become quite retarded, though personally I prefer going Lurker in Darkness and Umbral Blade for that, off a Hidden Blade if possible. It has full attack-off-of-a-strike in the way of Thousand Cuts or Tiger Leap and then further attack + damage boosts with Primal Fang.

You might be thinking 'but those are high level manuevers' and its true, however, they have low level stances that give natural attacks - Furyhorn Stance in particular, that syncs up with any sort of natural attack build in a disgusting way; Ragebred Skinwalker, for example, or Lizardfolk. It can spiral out of control very easily and with none of the feat tax that TWF requires. Combine that with other disciplines like Riven Hourglass (Minute Hand and Time Skitter cycling), or, yes, Broken Blade Primal Fury and Thrashing Dragon. It also benefits a lot from boosts taken out of Scarlet Throne, and Black Seraph to a lesser extent.

Its a discipline that does not play well if you allow it to mix with other disciplines. I will point out that most of its strikes are mediocre and its counters are dull as dirt.

This is just my observation from playing a high level Lords of the Night vampire with Chimera Soul, Broken Blade, Primal Fury, Scarlet Throne and Unquiet Grave, also a Lizardfolk though not quite as high level.

Not that it matters, I don't think DSP is ever going to finish LotW and if they do it will take years to get an errata.

Using a Sansetsukon for Broken Blade manuevers is incrdibly powerful and can delete enemies. As can taking the feats that allow you to use oter weapons as discipline weapons, so usinga Greatsword with Broken Blade can easily delete most things
>>
>>54344026

Just to add onto this; I don't think most DMs or players have really adapted to actually playing PoW. Namely, none of them appear to actually utilize those same player tools against their players.

An OD/ZS Warder comes charging at your big bad with his large size nodachi he cheesed into Broken Blade and Primal Fury? Use a counter. There are even low level ones that let you take a 5-ft step away and break their entire full attack string. There are counters that cancel out attacks entirely, or let you teleport away, go incorporeal, etc.

One of the worst enemies my players ever faced was just a Hidden Blade with a crossbow and constant use of Hidden Gambit with counters and Shattered Mirror stances.
>>
>>54344160
I certainly hope so. At least I got Tuesday to look forward to.
>>
>>54344217

see >>54344221

I would advise also liberal use of manuevers or spells that blind. Maybe even have an invisible Witch around to hex them.

Magic items? Spells? Disjunction. Dispel. The players get to use counters to problems; why not the DM?

This is true, but 'gotta use PoW to fight PoW' is a common complaint.

>>
>>54344285
The big trick is attack cancellations. Everything else is fluff, but counters that cancel attacks is the big reason PoW is as strong as it is. There's a build floating around that lets level 15 Warders kill Tor Linnorms, purely because they can no-sell what the linnorms do.
>>
>>54344279


>>54344285

They don't use PoW if you don't want to utilize the tools it presents. Or, don't complain if the martial players have a significant advantage when you engage them from a position of weaker mechanics on the same level. You don't throw CR equivalent 1pp only Fighters at PoW characters. At the very least, you don't engage them on the same level. Unless you want your players to steamroll everything; if that is what they and you enjoy, then more power to you, but ultimately, don't complain about balance if you are willfully deny your counter options.

And, no, its not too strong, because Tier 1 and 2 classes still exist. Even a CR equivalent one with proper optimization and intelligent use will give PoW players fits.
>>
>>54344326

Tier is not a measure of strength. It's a measure of versatility.
>>
>>54344326
Tiers are almost irrelevant to combat you goit.

A tier 3 can still be too strong in combat.

Something that can instakill anything with a look would still be tier 3, but you'd be hard-pressed to call it balanced.

Fuck off you underprivileged child.

>>54344285
The problem with that mindset is that it assumes that the core combat system was any good from the beginning, which it wasn't. 1pp PF Comba is just as rocket-taggy and full of lucky rolls needing to make things dificult, trivializing everyhing based on who has Furious Focus, and who has enough Initiative to go first.

By giving everyone PoW, now the martials not only get to do stuff aside from full-attacking every round, but also by giving everyone access to counters and boosts and such it becomes partly a stratagy game of managing your manuevers and resources, and trying toread the sitution best you can instead of just spamming everything on one 1round combo hat can just get easily Countered away

Also, there are options in 1pp that can easily fuck over a PoW character: Swarming. Initiators are generally highly tuned for deal with 1-2 enemies at a time. However, against some enemy NPC possibly 2 CR lower than them, using positioning and such like any smart opponent would, a PoW character will suddenly find themselves to be as screwed at a Paizo martial in the situation.

Personally, I do still think PoW is slightly overtuned in terms of damage, but personally I find this can be fixed by reducing most of the manuever damage rolls to d4s instead. However the part with Stances and Counters are easily the real reason why people love using PoW to "fix" martial combat as it provides a whole new level of depth and planning to combat.

>>54344364
Dude, even most PF martial, with not even gross optimization, can instakill an enemy of equivalent CR easy enough. Hell, its something that both Paladins and Barbarians excel at amazingly. Unless you're saying that both of those classes are unbalanced and should be removed.

Oooh, slinging insults because you know your argument is inherently flawed.

Yeah, but the thing is that not everyone wants to use PoW.

It is flat out a straight-up power upgrade that wasn't needed, and doesn't play nice with any other material, 1pp or 3pp.

If PoW is in play, and you're not using it for any reason, you're at a massive disadvantage.

What is really baffling to me is how offended people on here get when you cant' erase a DM's well planned out encounter within the first round.

>>54344538

Yes.

The issue is lots of flat +damage feats, stances, boosts, items, etc. encourage you to just make more attacks instead of trying for one big flashy attack. The only style that pulls it off is Scarlet Throne, and that's because it has strikes that straight up multiply your damage for the strike instead of going 'here is +5d6 and a minor status effect for one round with a mediocre DC!'

You must be the type of person who hates playing Souls games because they're too hard. I'm sorry you feel that using your brain to actually plan out your attacks is something you don't want to do and would rather just combo-delete anything wihtout reprecussion, however you need to understand that Roleplaying games revolve and run on the idea of actions and decisions having consequence and weight to them, and as such combat should be an extension of that. Otherwise combat encounters merely become pointless formalities that only exist for the purpose of getting enough XP to get to anothr level that will still pointlessly end encounters in the same manner as the previous levels, thus making the whole concept of character advancement pointless for any means other than just telling you who you should or shouldn't be fighting at your certain level.

Again, you would understand some of this had you taken the time to read and consider how stuff like PoW being allowed to enemies would facilitate th natural grouth and evolution of combat tactice over time. However I doubt you will do such a thing, as you no doubt would rather just have the GM hand combat victories over to you on a silver platter in order to fuel your constant need for achievement without hard work.

I think a recovery mechanic is necessary, but it should be structured more like AEDU from 4e. Some maneuvers should be a one-shot only deal. Rewarding mindless spam is the bane of good game design.

DESU, I'd rather have feat tax rules that are more in-depth, and/or just more feats made available to players, to combat the horrendous feat trees on everything. Playing something like a Trip Build looks and sounds cool up until I realize it takes all my feats to do it properly and makes me worthless against shit that can't be tripped.

>baseless ad hominem
>strawmanning and hyperbole
All my fucking keks.
You can plan out your actions all you want, if your GM designs your enemies with a GM vs. Player mindset in mind all you're fucked regardless. Allowing for non-high level enemies to have counters is an easy way to ruin the day of pretty much any martial character.

>t is flat out a straight-up power upgrade that wasn't needed,
That's bullshit and you know it. The base combat system was boring and repetative trite and basically shafted martials with not only being overspecialized at combat, bat also in needing to optomize to be good at it while still renduring the whole thing boring. Its not supposed to play nice with 1pp, its supposed to replace the absolute shit and poorly built sytem that is 1pp martial combat.

MEanwhile, while a MAgeknight may fight being able to compete in combat against a PoW character somewhat more difficult, at he same time he can often have access to capabilities the PoW character can't, such as AoE Control, easier access to supernatural abilities such as teleportation, and often most Spheres will have useful in and out of combat utility which even a Lowcaster like the Mageknight can take advantage of.

In play, both classes would come across and be used in fundementally different ways, with the Initiator being played like an actual expert of martial prowess and technique, while the Mageknight would be far more likey to move in and out and switch his tactics based around both rudementary combat and magic as he needs.

Meanwhile, going back to 1pp, a realatively well optimized Paladin or Barbarian can also delete things almost as well as an initiator, plus since its 1pp only, this means that combat then lacks the means of diversifying tactics through Counters and the like, meaning rather than also having means of defensive combat, all you do is engender the Initiative Rocket Tag arms race

Honestly the most annoying thing to me about New Crane Wing is the 'if an attack misses because of the ac boost, you lose it for the round'

It could be worded infinitely better.

I mean Crane Style's not even bad if you've got some other things that work with fighting defensively, that bit's just poorly worded and makes you feel like you're LOSING something as opposed to GETTING something.

So rather than 'you get X. If Y, you lose it', It should be 'Once a round, if you get hit add +4 dodge to your AC to see if it actually does.'

Works out the same, but the feel is MUCH better.

And would easily open up for a 'spend stamina to get it on a second/third/etc attack that round' combat trick.

Gotcha, you're just baiting and trying to stroke your epeen. As such I will not even dignify you with the (You) you obviously crave.

You know what?

Fuck counters.

They're a shitty answer to a shitty problem.

Combat shouldn't be rocket tag, but it shouldn't be 'who runs out of hard nopes first' either.

that's definitely why I'm liking the idea of Starfinder tuning down the rocket tag and giving people more ways to deal with shit that isn't either a hard no or "kill it first"

The Stamina system alone should make it a lot better for that, and a lot freer with damage.

and really, it's not counters as a whole that's the problem, it's attack cancellations. completely no-selling attacks is bullshit.

Are we actually going to use that thread, or are we going to make another one like we should?
>>
>>54344656
Like, I have a problem because my favorite build is still a disgusting tumorous mass of gestalt, but the core of it is still that I just want to do something besides "I flurry him!". I want to be able to trip, I want to grapple, I'm sick of things that aren't "nuke it to death" being worthless because they cost too much for a PC to properly use.
>>
>>54344785
Attack cancellations I think aren't QUITE the problem as long as the proper amount of value is put on them.

Like I don't think Crane Wing was much of a problem, since it required fighting defensively, got one a round, only worked in melee, and required investment.

But a lot of PoW counters negate an attack and then do ANOTHER thing. Or negate whole full attacks. Or pretend that they're NOT instant cancellation by hiding behind skill checks.
>>
>>54344836
Yeah, it hurts. I want to build something with neat tricks and cool abilities, but that's a shitty idea and I know it. Gestalt and feat tax give the possibility, but if those rules are in play, the floor of acceptable just raises. At least, I think it does. I wasn't around during all the recruiting, but it sounds like everything was just high power and kind of hard to manage. Such is life, I guess.

>>54344753

You could fix that if you worked out not-shitty math for HP, AC and damage equations. AS it is, there is no benchmark, its all over the fucking place and more shoddy 1pp and 3pp material just encourages it even more.

But you know what happens when you remove the 'rocket tag'? You get people whining that it takes forever to kill something even if its disingenuous meme parroting. This is what happened to 4e in spite of its math fixes.

Most players, especially ones in this thread posting right now, hate the idea of not being able to kill something dead in one shot. For whatever reason, be it because it makes them feel powerful thus making it self-masturbatory, or they're overly paranoid about their characters having even a remote chance of dying (for other examples of this, see: Exalted and its paranoia combat memes), or simply brain damaged from drinking the Paizo kool-aid too hard.
>>
>>54344877
Even with feat taxes and gestalts I'm hard pressed to actually do anything bordering interesting. I always end up smashing my face into something that conflicts, or I have to choose between feats to be functional or feats for a particular gimmick.
Not that doing a mashed together MoMS+Scaled Fist UMonk||Body Pact Avowed is remotely weak,
but still.

Anons, I just had a shower, and all this shitposting has inspired me. brb making ideas for an alternate combat system.
