/pfg/ - Pathfinder General

Here, I'm putting the races I made by suggestion yesterday in a linkbin.

Give me more race ideas to find ways to balance into 1st level availability, it's fun. Concepts you'd like to have but are absent or represented badly.

>>43887633
and I forgot the linkbin.

I've been kinda half feeling like racebrewing lately but then i have a setting i want to make and when i start thinking about taht i'm like maybe i can make a fantasy d20 system thats not awful

and then i usually drink myself into a stupor

I'm looking into the theme of "attractive evil outsiders" to see what's available for a semi-stereotypical evil conjuror wizard to have as either a harem or as an honour guard of sorts. Bonus points if they can double as both, so magically disguising themselves would definitely be a needed power.

Does /pfg/ have any particular out of the box suggestions (i.e. not succubus/erinyes), preferably without too many hit dice?

If really necessary I could just create actual PC-leveled martials of some sort, but I'd like to stick to the conjuror theme, so summoned outsiders is the go-to.

>attractive evil outsiders
>not succubi
?

>>43887783
Well there's one of those Div bitches that give you STDs

>>43887785
Because they're the classic, what everybody uses. I'm searching around for alternatives, basically. Plus the succubus is very much a seduction-type, not exactly suited for honour guard/bodyguard.

>>43887783
There's Gylou, if 15 HD isn't "too many"

>>43887783
Try Erinyes if it's relatively low level.. Devils like them are more up for bodyguard contracts than basically any other kind of fiend, and I believe they're actually meant to be a warrior type.

>Approach old tower
>Everyone gets knocked out and experiences cool dream visions involving Elminster
>I'm an elf and immune to sleep magic
>Get to spend 8 hours copying spells into my spellbook instead of getting awesome visions
T-thanks immunity to sleep magic.

>43880686

Checked the RAI, and the answer to this is that the ability itself does not care about the guns handedness; you'd use the handedness of your gun, using the same damage regardless (although a rifle would let your use 1.5 Str). Generally this would not be finesseable.

As to why the discrepancy, it's probably because this was written way before the others.

>>43888085
Oops. Meant to link to >>43880686 but my phone betrayed me.

>>43887633
>>43887638
Can we revise that Leaper Arachtus to just have +2 Con -2 Cha? It seems a little too cookie-cutter perfect for melee with that and the TWF Power Attack stuff.

>>43887783
Cabal Devils so long as you have ghost cock, there's that image of a female kyton going around, Erinyeses, er I know there's erodaemons and succibi but those are obvious, maybe I just want to marry a devil of some sort... Cabal devils seem pretty waifuable, if a but tsundere.

Alright so I kind of have this setting idea i'll throw it out there

World was sundered long ago, most of surviving civilization survives on huge landmasses raised into the skies by unspeakable magic

Figure lower land is inhabited by some people still, but is mostly filled with enormous and incredibly dangerous monsters.

Kind of wanted to give each floating landmass its own civilization, figure at least one should be clans of skinwalkers, have another that should be mortals ruled over by vampire counts ect.

probably 5-6 total, the whole setting idea is basically to give parties an excuse to fight weird and colossal magical beasts rather than normal demons and shit

Hey /pfg/ how was Thanksgiving for you? I taught my parents to play Pathfinder, that was an experience.

>Made a Knight Disciple Paladin for my brother. Doesn't use any maneuvers, doesn't shield anyone.
>Mom plays a soulthief vitalist, spams soulthief's touch all night long. Nobody took any real damage though, so no significant healing done.
>Dad played an Ambush Hunter Ranger. I asked him if he wanted to teleport. "Yes!" Doesn't teleport once.

>>43888200
You have a lot of patience, Elric. I gave up on trying to teach my family how to play games years ago.

>>43888216
Call me a masochist, but I /like/ teaching people how to play the game. At least if they learn it from me I can shield them from the worst aspects of the game.

They had fun and want to play again at Christmas so I must have done something right.

>>43887783
Takes more work, but technically a tiefling is an outsider. Just go to another plane and summon one.

>>43888235
True enough. Well, I hope they realize what they're doing a bit better; the game is at its most fun when you can throw down and use everything.

>>43888158
You should read the comic meridian. Its effectively that.

>>43888235
Are the worst aspects of the game vanican casters?

>>43888264
if i was gonna work on my own d20 system i'd get rid of vancian casting its awful

>>43888264
I think the worst aspect isn't casters, but spells, and the fact that there's a spell for every situation.

>>43888264
I explained vancian and psionic style casting to my mother. When I got done explaining vancian style casting she said "Ew, that sounds awful. I don't like that."

She liked psionic's Power Points system a lot better. Not that I blame her.

I won't say vancian casting is bad, but I don't think it meshes well with common depictions of wizards or "generic magic users" very well. Spontaneous casting is a little better, but not a lot.

>>43888255
looked it up, it seems like it has the sky islands aspect which i just think is fun, i dunno, i might actually try to flesh it out tonight

>>43888285
I disagree totally. I think there should be spells for every situation, down to having one for cursing people of a specific family that can only be used during an eclipse or one that repels a specific breed of owlbears.

Casters ARE the problem, their monopoly on magic is the problem. Casters should be people that can do certain kinds of magic, but anyone with the sufficient information should be able to set up a circle that summons a demon or repels ghosts or figure out how to make water taste like wine etc using sprinkles of powdered newt and a longass piece of poetry. Spells should be based on knowledge and resources, not a class feature.

>>43888416
I'd agree with you, were we not talking about an expressly classed based game where your class designated your skill set.
In this game, the spells are the problem since they can bypass the limitations or mimic other class features and focuses with NO drawback.

>>43888285
>>43888416
Also like 85% of spells are totally fine. The problem spells are things like color spray and other "always take" spells. Nobody really thinks level 9 spells are overpowered, they think time stop, astral projection and wish are overpowered. Half the spells are just area versions of spells and/or spells that work on new creature types plus stuff like Meteor Swarm, Teleportation Circle, Fiery Body, Shapechange etc. These things aren't broken, its just like a handful of spells!

>>43888461
Yes but my solution is to make spells into something independent of class. To make spells something akin to a bedroll or a hireling. A "thing" you own, rather than a class feature.

The magic classes do should be closer to a kineticist's wild shape, a soulknives mind blade, a druids wild shape, a barbarians rage etc. Though obviously for the kineticist make it not shit.

>>43888482
Thats stupid

you're stupid

The newest Hell's Rebels has entries for every previous AP, right? Is this like, new artwork and descriptions, or did they literally just grab existing characters and update their statblocks?

What characters did they update for Reign of Winter?

>>43888513
Come on, with scrolls, wands and UMD it could practically already be the case.

Besides, this is what would be good game design and would fit with traditional definitions of magic, not what would work for pathfinder. Researching spells and performing elaborate rituals involving rare components sounds like actual fantasy magic, it would annoy the D&D crowd.

>>43888550
It'd annoy anyone if you made it fiddly enough. One idea I like is to treat vancian spellcasting as scroll-crafting cost-wise. Takes a day or two of ritual and some cost of materials, and probably skill checks, then you get (or "prepare" and store) your powerful spell.

Give everyone access to it, and then have people play stuff like initiators, spheres, and the like. The strong vancian spells become ritual magic, and the less powerful, at-will magic becomes the norm.

Piercings, magical and non. If you use magic, make sure you tell people in a way that makes it sound like a veiled threat. No matter what weapon you do decide on, make sure you carry a knife with you, something small like a switchblade, and bring it out during conversations with people.

I am trying to piece together a few "optimized for both combat and noncombat," first-party only, non-archetyped hunters at levels 5-12 in order to test out the class's tier 3-ness. I am experimenting with both Strength/Power Attack/Outflank builds and Dexterity/Deadly Aim/Precise Shot builds.

What are the most ideal druid and discounted-ranger spells for such hunters? Lead Blades for the melee build and Gravity Bow for the ranged build seem like obvious choices, but nothing else is particularly standing out save for perhaps the good-in-the-wilderness Entangle.

Is the Constitution-raising animal focus actually useful, given the way temporary bonuses to Constitution works, or should a hunter avoid that particular focus?

Also, is there any way to get in touch with the small group behind the tier list and ask for their opinions? From what I understand from the tier list pastebin poster ( http://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/43594953/#43597393 ) , /pfg/'s tier list is *not* decided by community consensus, but rather by a handful of friends, so I would like to ask for their opinions on various tier placements. In particular, I am curious as to why the psychic and sorcerer (psychic bloodline) are tier 1 as opposed to high tier 2 (and even then, it is questionable for the psychic sorcerer), the magus (hexcrafter) and inquisitor (monster tactician) are tier 2 and not just high tier 3, and the bloodrager (urban barbarian) is tier 3 and not merely high tier 4.

It seems to me that the tier list pastebin should have an entry for "awesome subclasses" for archetypes and class components that add plenty of power and/or flexibility, but not enough to nudge the class up a tier.

>>43888822
there's a Kyton-spawn tiefling heritage, to start with. Take a martial type and pick up E. Weapon proficiency with the spiked chain. Because the Kyton-spawn has +2 Constitution and +2 charisma, I'd personally recommend a Warlord - maybe take Unorthodox Method to swap out something for Black Seraph or Cursed Razor.

>>43888838
that's a cool monster, where's it from?

>>43887633
>>43887638
If you're still around, how about a counterpart to the illithid, a creature that is essentially a _____-colored man with some other invertebrate sea creature for a head instead of an octopus?

>>43888838
Thanks anon but i think i can handle the roleplaying. I was going more for ruthlessly pragmatic sadomasochist seeking enlightenment and personal progress than i was for what you suggested though.
>>43888859
Yeah grabbing spiked chain proficiency and the shackleborn are pretty obvious. I hadn't considered using Cursed Razor, that actually seems really helpful, thanks!
>>43888857
Wouldn't hunters have ruthless trip builds? Tripping people to get AoOs from both hunter and pet?

>>43888874

That is a good point. How would Dirty Fighting interact with Outflank though? Would they simply not stack?

Is there anything more to a bow hunter than simply using the same old tricks as any other bow-user, from Manyshot to Clustered Shots?

>>43888897
Hmm. If you go for a hunter but still want to go for Cursed Razor, I actually put together an initiating archetype for the class not too long ago.

I'm honestly not sure how good it is because I haven't had the opportunity to test it, but it's there if you want it.

>>43888158
Reminds me in a way of my own floating continent campaign setting. The cataclysm was a giant sustained portal to the Far Realm infinitely spewing out horrors, overrunning civilization. The floating continent was the SALVATION in this one, the divine intervention. It's revealed after a long time adventuring in a perfectly normal world that everyone now lives on the back of the dead overgod of all dragons floating high in the sky and magically barriered from the world it floats above. This is why dragons are always fucking pissed, because it had to be THEIR god that died.

Unfortunately the cult of Rifters responsible for the end of the world survives on the continent as well, and work toward bringing that shit down so that the chaos may properly consume the world and finally move beyond it. If the BBEG succeeds at breaking all the hidden artifacts, well, it's *finally* a decent reason for a new area to arbitrarily be a lot more challenging than the one that level 5s get to be heroes in, because shit comes crashing down and they have to save civilization the old fashioned NON-deus-ex-machina way down there.

>>43888985
Uh, i was just trying to help that guy figure out what builds he should use to test hunter with.

Can anyone make sense of Pathfinder Unchained's monster creation system's type grafts, subtype grafts, and class grafts?

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/other-rules/simple-monster-creation

The three arrays and the monster options *try* to be internally balanced against one another, such that a monster of CR W with array X and options Y and Z is roughly as challenging to the party as another monster of CR A.

However, the grafts seem to discard this internal balance entirely. The grafts seem to believe that a monster with all the benefits of the humanoid type (i.e. nothing) is just as challenging as a monster with all the benefits of the construct or undead type. On top of that, without a class graft, some creature types gain more than others; constructs gain +2 attack in exchange for -2 to all saves (virtually irrelevant given their immunities) and dragons gain +2 attack and +2 to their low saves, while humanoids gain nothing but +2 to one save.

The subtype grafts are even worse offenders. Gaining darkvision (and light sensitivity, obviously) from being an orc is apparently just as powerful as being incorporeal or being a swarm. You can create a CR 1/2 Fine or Diminutive swarm with the construct or undead type using these rules!

The class grafts are even more arbitrary, since they hand out free benefits with neither rhyme nor reason at no discernible unified progression, so some monster's class grafts are much stronger than others. They also tend to hand out spell upgrades that do not actually do anything due to the way CR bands interact with spells.

For that matter, the higher in CR a monster goes using this subsystem, the less powerful they will be by the standards of "regular" monsters, because Unchained simple monsters gain special abilities at a far slower pace than the monsters in the various bestiaries.

Why did Paizo attempt to present a reasonably balanced monster-creation-by-CR subsystem, only to once again cause CR to be totally meaningless?

Build help, please, 3pp is ok.
Its an idea for a.. assassiny person that teleports around and summons his own weapons.
So of course after seeing Soulknife and Warsoul, i knew those were right choices, however... both lack sneak attack. In fact the archetype to grant sneak attack for soulknife means i cant take warsoul.

Are there any ways to get sneak attack? Other than class abilities and that one stance that gives you a +2d6? I remember some items in 3.5 that gave it but i did not find any PF ones, nor feats.
Is my only option a gestalt?

>>43889457
Stalker with Sleeping Godess boosts to grab weapons made from soul and shit.

>>43889457
Stalker with Sleeping Goddess? They can summon their own weapons too.

>>43889457
Vigilante stalker with Sleeping Goddess as >>43889477 said, or a living legend soulknife with a Trickster focus and the Ghost Step bladeskill.

>>43889457
Why do you need sneak attack?

>>43889540
Feels fitting for a shadowy oriented assassin. Especially if I can treat all enemies around me as flat footed pretty much all the time. Though I myself am pondering this, what with the maneuvers and all.

>>43889484
>>43889477
>>43889504
I shall check those out, thanks, had no idea some other class could do the weapon thing as well.

Can a Warder use his Dex modifier for the free Combat Reflexes feat he gets or does it HAVE to be Int?

>>43889572
PsyWar also gets powers that let him summon weapons.

>>43889572
The living legend can also get hide in plain sight. Otherwise, I'd look into a veiled moon+sleeping goddess (for the Call the Soul's Blade line of boosts) stalker, as noted.

Stalker is PoW. Vigilante stalker is an int archetype that gets sneak attack, from PoW Expanded's playtest. Sleeping Goddess is also from Expanded. The living legend is an archetype for the soulknife that hybridizes it with the medium (a teaser DSP showed us for Psionics Occult). It's linked in the pastebin in the OP.

If for some inscrutable reason an Aeon bred with a mortal, what would the resulting offspring be like?
what kind of powers would it have?
I ask because I'm considering making a half-aeon race, but I'm dry on good ideas.

>>43890196
Not him but you can't tell anything from that pic, except that she's at least not so obese that a girdle couldn't fit her into that armor.

>>43890162
Probably varies on the exact type of aeon, a la tiefling/aasimar heritages. Generically... +2 Wis/Con, -2 Cha, since they're in touch with the world but distant from people and all that. Aeons are immune to cold and poison, so give them cold resistance and the healthy racial trait for +4 against poisons and diseases. Aeons also get bonuses to Knowledge, so I guess a free Skill Focus (Knowledge) is in order, or a +2 to a couple of Knowledges of the player's choice. Detect thoughts or similar as a 1/day SLA reflects aeon telepathy pretty well.

>>43888482
>kineticist's wild shape
That would certainly stop the Kineticist from being shit, yes.

>>43890257
So, let's see the RP breakdown if anyone cares about that shit.
Standard ability modifiers 0 RP, native outsider 3 RP.

Energy resistance (cold) 1 RP. Healthy 2 RP.

Apparently there's an ability, shards of the past, that fits the Knowledge stuff. "Each member of this race picks two Knowledge skills. The member of this race gains a +2 racial bonus on both of these skills, and those skills are treated as class skills regardless of what class the member of this race actually takes." 4 RP.

Spell-like Ability, Lesser (detect thoughts), 2 RP. That's a total of 12 RP.

>>43890162
Genasi are pretty much exactly what you're looking for.

>forbidden
Unless you're a Thassilonian specialist they're not forbidden. Also, retraining exists.

>>43891320
>>Retrain your arcane bond by replacing one bonded item with another, replacing your bonded item with a familiar, or replacing your familiar with a bonded item. See also retraining feats. You can instead retrain your arcane school (including changing to or from a universalist). Doing so replaces your school's bonus spell slots and school powers. This training takes 5 days for every school power you lose from changing schools.

It doesn't specify that retraining forbidden schools is possible.

>>43891285
Void Dragons are just a type, anon. Their CR isn't nearly as high as a Demon Lord.

>>43891537
Universalist doesn't have restricted schools. So even if, technically, retraining your restricted school isn't possible, you could always retrain into universalist and back, thus reselecting the restricted schools.

So, I know the consensus on magic tattoos was "treat them as slotless wondrous items, and you can probably refluff most magic items into magic tattoos with appropriate price shifts if needed". So now I need to ask.

Bag of Holding, in tattoo form. It can be opened and closed at will, and when opened creates If something would cause the "bag" to burst, the tattooed character must instead make a fort save to avoid taking damage every turn until they take a full-round action to remove the item. Alternatively: portable hole in tattoo form. Opens and closes at will.

How retarded is this, and what kind of shenanigans would you get up to if you had your magic bags basically grafted into your skin?

So I'm building this character named Lord Grip. He's a human tetori monk/brawler fighter who uses grappling and armor spikes. I think I've made him literally unkillable, but I don't know for sure. Can someone here give me ideas for how to kill him so that I can make sure they won't work?

>Major negative-dominant planes are even more dangerous. Each round, those within must make a DC 25 Fortitude save or gain a negative level. A creature whose negative levels equal its current levels or Hit Dice is slain, becoming a wraith. The death ward spell protects a traveler from the damage and energy drain of a negative-dominant plane.

>Major positive-dominant planes go even further. A creature on a major positive-dominant plane must make a DC 15 Fortitude save to avoid being blinded for 10 rounds by the brilliance of the surroundings. Simply being on the plane grants fast healing 5 as an extraordinary ability. In addition, those at full hit points gain 5 additional temporary hit points per round. These temporary hit points fade 1d20 rounds after the creature leaves the major positive-dominant plane.
>However, a creature must make a DC 20 Fortitude save each round that its temporary hit points exceed its normal hit point total. Failing the saving throw results in the creature exploding in a riot of energy, which kills it.

What's your opinion on classes that are sort of actually races? Things like sorcerers or barbarians that really require you to be born into it, rather than learned by anyone?

>>43893091
>Things like sorcerers or barbarians that really require you to be born into it, rather than learned by anyone?

Don't you mean Sorcerer and Oracle? Those are two classes that you're more or less born into.

Barbarian might seem like something you're born into, but in reality a barbarian is just an individual that can enter a warrior's trance which grants increased strength and fortitude at a cost of their well-being. For some this is a tribal thing (like what you're referring to) but for others it could be raw insane anger, or a practiced martial trance like you'd expect from a shock trooper, or even allowing an ancient spirit to inhabit your body and take over.

>>43893077
>Turn off my healing
Is mythic material legit? Because there's a few abilities that bypass all DR and incidentally shut down all forms of fast healing and regeneration. Or possibly just the one.

>>43893077
Easily dead. Level 19 Harbinger so I can pierce all your immunities, and use any of the insta-kill strikes, whose DC I can easily setup to 30+. Dead 95% of the time.

>>43893077
Primal Fury tradition, or the mythic ability to disable regen or fast healing, regardless of type.

And yeah, just fuck off with your lying bullshit. You won't share the sheet because you don't have one. You're a fucking Monk/Brawler, neither of which class has legitimate class features, casting, or enough feats to get anything to do the shit you're talking about. You don't have anywhere near the amount of gold to emulate them either, so that's right out. So until you post a sheet and prove your retarded claim, you can piss right off.

High level Harbingers can bypass all immunities, and Unquiet Grave's Life Sealing Strike stops a target from benefiting from any form of healing. PoW:E includes a couple of feats to bypass energy resistance and immunity, too.

As for freedom of movement, yes, it won't let you leave the circle in the same way that it won't let you walk through walls.

>>43893312
You said you were a monk/brawler. None of the abilities of a monk or a brawler allow for the things your character can do. Thus you withheld information necessary to actually apply /pfg/'s knowledge base in any meaningful way.

It's like posting "Hey my favorite color is blue. How much do I weigh?"

>>43893154
I guess what I mean is that, you can't really learn to be a barbarian. You're just born as someone who has anger problems.
but semantics aside, yes sorc and oracle are prime examples. I've always considered it kind of strange, especially when it comes to multiclassing.
Sure you can always come up with crazy fluff reasons for why you took a 2 level dip in sorc, but if you want to take a 2 level dip in fighter, the only fluff you need is "I kinda practiced swinging my sword around for a while."

You can totally learn to be a barbarian. Everyone gets angry, barbarians know how to channel that anger as destructive force. That can totally be a learned skill.

Also, learn to refluff anon. Classes are mechanics, nothing else. Any non rules based text is essentially meaningless.

I keep telling these guys but they won't have any of it. To them, if it's 1pp then it's perfect in every way.

I use a spell to go back in time to your birth, while adding in flash frost and ennervate spell destroy you. Unless you were born with immunities then you're dead.

>>43893353

But that's wrong, in fact half the things I mentioned in that post are ways to explain Rage as something the Barbarian learns.

Rage can be an elite shock trooper entering a martial trance and fighting that much better, or even the classic Barbarian learning how to channel their communal spirit to fight with renewed vigor.

>but semantics aside, yes sorc and oracle are prime examples. I've always considered it kind of strange, especially when it comes to multiclassing.

Sorcerer is easy to refluff; the character has a little magic in their blood, but not a lot, and through gaining power (aka, levels) they managed to let a bit of that magic shine.

>>43893351
I'll work on both of them.

But you would get better feedback if you posted actual, useful information. And people wouldn't call you a lying faggot. Like me, you lying faggot.

>>43893471

Because Elf is a race, not a class.

Also because if you've got that much Elf in your blood, you're probably a half-Elf.

>>43893471
Hey, if people can use that to make playing a non-human sorcerer/oracle far more viable then I don't see a problem.

>>43893471
Because you can legally take Sorcerer levels at any time, but you can't just suddenly become an Elf; from a fluff perspective, your Elven ancestry isn't suddenly going to assert itself, unlike your magical ancestry

Senpai, you could make a Paladin/Warder and become the Unstoppable Force.

Holy shit, what *would* a Paladin/Warder look like? You're immune to everything, your health and saves are unstoppable, and the damage you're consistently putting out cannot be ignored.

>>43892902
From what I've heard, the GM has seen and approved the sheet, but the rest of the players aren't allowed to see that specific character. The only thing that comes to mind is under 3.x, divine rank 1+, which grants immunity to mind-affecting, poison, diseases,sleep, disintegration, death effects, paralysis, transmutation as well as electricity, acid and cold. Aging and natural causes are obviously listed as well.

However, anything else is just DR/Epic and Fire Res 5+Divine Rank. Even a Greater God, in all its glory and power, for everything it can do, if actually placed face to face in phase with you (if not, force, magic weapons or ghost-touch will fix that final problem), can get its fucking head shot off.

For everything that reduces them, or makes their damage values look like chumps... In the end? Piercing, Bludgeoning and Slashing, plus usually Force. The four most basic things will always work.

Just don't bother with fancy shmancy Save-Ors meant for controlling lesser beings, and things go down just fine.

>>43893493
however Elf was a class back in the old days of D&D. So was Dwarf if I'm not mistaken.
Furthermore, infernal/abyssal bloodline sorcerers are a race, it's called Tiefling, Celestial are Aasimar.
Don't get me wrong, sorcerer's are one of my favourite classes, but the whole "in your blood but not actually racial" fluff is something that I've always found a bit strange.
also, with 4 feats (eldritch heritage) anyone can become pretty much half a sorcerer...because it's in your blood, it's racial. but...not racial...?
There are no feats like that for wizard schools, because you actually have to take wizard levels and learn that shit.

>>43893643
Tiefling and Aasimar don't breed true. If you nookie with a devil or an angel, you get a half-fiend or half-celestial. As that blood further thins, you'll occasionally get Tiefling or Aasimar to crop up, but you'll also get sorcerer bloodlines. They are not mutually exclusive, nor are they always paired together.

Even then, just because the potential is there that doesn't mean it becomes developed. Many people never find a need or desire to develop their magical power, innate or not. Others have it erupt spontaneously without warning. That's how magic works. It's magic.

>>43893623

But Elric-Senpai, you posted a dainty Elvish waif, not a Warder.

>>43893706
>Tiefling and Aasimar don't breed true.

Except they do, Tieflings can have children and so can Aasimar.

>>43893706
Oh.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO FUCKING UNDERSTANDS HOW THOSE WORK DESPITE BEING A GAME DEVELOPER.

THANK YOU.

>>43893733
Please, tell her that to her face.

>>43893746
Breed True anon. Breed True. The child of a Tiefling or Aasimar is more likely to be a normal human (or other source race) than a Tiefling or Aasimar respectively.

I had to look into this pretty thoroughly for the game I run.

>>43893746
"Breed True" means "tiefling + tiefling = tiefling with same general mutations and body type". Which they don't.

It doesn't mean they can't breed at all. Just that some of their kids are more normal humanoid, some of their kids the mods cancel out, and some of their kids get an extra dose of planar fuckery, is all.

>>43893706
I guess I just think about it moreso like X-men.
Somewhere around puberty their powers develop. Some people train to further their power (in this case, in the form of spells), some people don't. But they'll have power regardless.

Some might argue that this is why the eldritch heritage feats exist, but then why are sorcerers special like that? Why isn't there a "wizardly aptitude" feat or something that grants access to wizard school powers?

>>43893785
>Please, tell her that to her face.

>>43890375

>>43893851
I'll level with you. I hate fluff. If it's not tied to a mechanical rule I chuck it right out the window and replace it with something that makes sense.

You're asking a question that doesn't really have an answer beyond "because that's the way it was written." In fact, what you've described is a change to sorcerer fluff already.

Not everyone with a sorcerous bloodline has powers, nor do they typically choose to develop them enough to warrant putting "Sorcerer 1" on their character sheet. Only very rarely are there those that choose to pursue the path of their bloodline, or are born with enough inherent potential to have that destiny thrust upon them.

>>43893859
Probably. I'm not too familiar with most of the PoW1 Iconics but she is in the process of killing a Marilith on the cover art.

I'll see if I can't get ErrantX to storytime some of her feats, since he's married to the woman who played the Warder Iconic.

>>43893951
Like I said earlier, I love those classes. The whole "living with and possibly trying to develop a power that you don't understand"...I'm a sucker for it.

I just thought it gets a bit screwy when you try to define it as either a class or a race.

But I just thought it was interesting thing I recently started thinking about, and figured I'd bring it up to get more opinions and perspective. Which I certainly have.

>>43894125
I never get why people just can't fucking fluff a standard class, and see the class as a vehicle of mechanics, versus any sort of stupid fluff that you can slap on. That's why I loathe Kineticists, Bloodragers and whatnot. You could probably just make your elementalist theme from other spell-casting classes, and not suck while you're at it.

So I have to kindly ask you to go kill yourself. You cancer of tabletop gaming, you basket weaving fuck.

>>43893951
Are iconics always obligatorily pure single-classed?

Because some classes are just meant for one-another. "metaforges" (no one really uses the PRC anymore though do they) being a prime example.

a few levels of Aegis have catapulted my Warsoul to heights impossible for just the class alone.

>>43892595
Windows 7 is a thing, you know.

>>43894301
Wasn't Paizo's bishie magus iconic guy originally an eldritch knight before they invented the magus?

>>43894301
I believe that single classing Iconics is one of those unwritten rule things, yes. I don't know that it's ever explicitly stated though.

>>43894301
That's kind of the point of Iconics, brah. They're that class from 1-20

>>43894338
see the prestige classes in the core rulebook for, say, the iconic eldritch knight (which hilariously got retconned to the iconic magus? fuck if I know).

>>43894301
See >>43894338
But it's true that some classes are meant to be together. This is mostly untrue in the core materials however. Multiclassing is a special beast in pathfinder, and while there are many, it is always "certain specific builds" that amount to greater than the sum of their parts, while as many if not far more end up at a loss.

PRCs aside, of course.

Yeah, but once he became an Iconic, he's magus 1-20.

I mean think about it. Iconics are supposed to be 'Here is this class!'

And then you add a prestige class or something to it? Is it to be expected that all members of that class take said prestige class? What about the 10-level ones? If they take all of it, they're just as much of that as their original class, so how are they 'Iconic' of that class?

>Offer an alternative topic, then.

I'm running a game in a spherical demiplane, sort of a PF Ravnica meets Coruscant thing. No gods or god-based magic within the city (spheres and psionics as magic systems). There's a big artificial sun in the middle that lights the city, which is also where souls go when they die on the demiplane (until being reincarnated, that is). Gonna map the city as an icosahedron. (I have a triangle overlay on hex grid template so I can scribble maps at work).

Plot is gonna focus on guilds, and adventurers will be treated sortof like shadowrunners. Guild leaders will mostly be high CR unique monsters.

1. I'm going to include a magic-research guild ruled over by either a dragon or a Wan-Shi-Tong type creature.

2. Also going to do a crazy cult that believes the demiplane is an egg, as some anon mentioned yesterday. They think if they feed the plane enough souls the demiplane will become a god, itself, so they will do a combination of lots of ritual sacrifices, and kidnapping from other planes.

But the world is sufficiently small that you can see the upward curve, and walk around the whole thing in less than two days.

/pfg/ I need help. I'm a pc in a Rise of the Runelords campaign. We are in the Sins of the Saviors book, I just got hit by a dispel wand AoE thing in the halls of Envy(or Pride, I forget). I failed a will save and the GM says ALL my magic items are perma dispelled. Is he shitting me?

>>43894810
I don't want to try to map out a city so big that cubists would make sense... Thats too much map.

>>43894863

>>43894863
Depends on what rules you're using. In Pathfinder rules, disjunction should only last 1 min/level.

>>43894926
Welcome in rusty dagger shanktown

>>43894899
If I remember right, the 3.5 version of the trap was Disjunction, but the Anniversary Edition nerfed it a little bit, with a sidebar that basically says "This was a Disjunction trap, but that's kind of douchey. You can keep the old one though, just to show how the Envy branch were massive dicks, and why the other branches killed them first."

>>43894920
How does that work?

>>43894863
Is it an IRL game? If so, bludgeon him before leaving the group. If not, leave the group.

>>43894955
It's still Disjunction in the anniversary edition, it's just that the spell itself was nerfed with pathfinder rules.

>>43894920

If Earth stood still, it would have mid-day, mid-night, sun-up and sun-down as 4 corners. Each rotation of earth has 4 mid-days, 4 mid-nights, 4 sun-ups and 4 sun-downs.
The sixteen(16) space times demonstrates cube proof of 4 full days simultaneously on earth within one (1) rotation. The academia created 1 day greenwich time is bastardly queer and dooms future youth and nature to a hell.

What are some good, worthwhile options for a Dex-based character to improve AC other than stacking more Dex?
Using Scarlet Throne primarily, so I can't get a shield.
Currently my AC is 19 (17+2 from Scarlet Einhander which I basically never turn off) and I am level 3.
The party Warpriest is currently beating me in AC by 2, but he's wearing a lot of armor and has a tower shield.
I fear that my AC is not as high as it should be. I'd like to get it as high as I can.

>>43895410
Get a buckler?

>>43895454
That's a shield, though, right?
Does ST specifically allow a buckler?
If so, I'm all over that.

>>43895470
A buckler does not occupy your off -hand so you should be fine.

>>43895410
An amulet of natural armor, a ring of protection, a ring of force shield.
>>43895470
It does specifically allow a buckler. It'd hardly be a swashbuckler/duelist style if it didn't.

>>43895454
>>43895516
>>43895507
Scarlet Einhander seems like it doesn't actually stack with a buckler as it's not an enhancement bonus but a straight shield bonus, so I'll be getting it for level 5+ when I stop using Scarlet Einhander.
Thanks for making me aware that it works, and for listing those magic items, too. Appreciate it.

My GM is a huge jew and I'm sick of it.
What are some good ways to gain wealth when your GM doesn't provide enough cash through loot?
The whole party is about 9k behind where we're meant to be on total wealth. That's 9k per person.

>>43895789
Take everything, all weapons, armor, doors. Anything not nailed to the floor. It will add up quickly. Or be a wizard.

>>43895789
Blood Money + Fabricate

>>43895789
Downtime God's guide.

>>43895905
Does any GM actually allow this? That is unspeakably silly.

>>43895929
Most don't. But those that do really deserve what is comming. Especially if you also make some simulacri of yourself that mass fabricate.

>>43895916
We don't use downtime.

Suggestions on short jungle ruins adventure modules? Need to plug a couple sessions until the rest of the party gets back from bloody vacation...

>>43896268
We're playing an AP and there's not enough time between slaying orcs and running away from more orcs for downtime.

>>43896292
Still punch him for not providing you with the wealth you need and not giving you a way to compensate. It's like he wants to TPK you guys.

>>43893395
If he picked the wrong element then of course he sucks.

>>43896183
Yeah I don't know how long ago I downloaded it without issue on my desktop, but grabbing a newer version this year when I got my laptop gave me a lot of unpleasant surprises.

>>43894573
You can't finesse a longsword anon.
And he can't use any other weapons after all those feats.

Even in Path of War, what's the benefit of going unarmed over just using close/monk weapons and still getting all the broken blade stuff with better weapons?

>>43896645
>what's the benefit of going unarmed over just using close/monk weapons and still getting all the broken blade stuff with better weapons?
It's easier to scale up the damage dice of unarmed attacks compared to other weapons.

>>43895410
Combat expertise/crane style (pre nerf)

>>43896672
But some of the monk/close weapons have better crit ranges/multipliers, which is arguable much more important for damage, especially since how long greater unarmed strike takes to scale up.

Just found monk of the silver fist. Is it any good?

>>43896645
Not really. You can enchant a Cestus, but you still can't enchant a fist

>>43896552
Yes he can, it's just Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization. Assuming worst-case scenario with realizing only NOW that Weapon Finesse exists, and he only replaced his absolute latest feat with it, he wouldn't even have Weapon Specialization anymore. 12 strength and Weapon Focus is still gonna be worse than 18 dexterity and Weapon Finesse without Weapon Focus.

>>43896791
What about amulet of mighty fists?

>>43896810

What about a warpriest? Sacret weapon damage for the thrown weapon, then treat it as archery?

in theory its because its two weapons enchanted for the price of one

in practice thats bullshit

>>43896935

>>43896552
You can finesse any 1-handed weapon, there's a magic item that allows you to do so.
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/magic-weapons/specific-magic-weapons/effortless-lace

>>43896839
Could be that they don't want to scare severely unoptimized groups if it gets used in their game as a player or enemy. If nothing else he's still a 9th level wizard with the same Int as a wizard NPC with the elite array would reach.

>>43896975

I have a character that would naturally go into it, but I've chosen not to use it as it doesn't seem worthwhile, honestly. It's a bit lacking, in my opinion.

>>43897434
Well you do get some pretty damn good power attacks with a shield though. You should probably change it, so that you get two-handed bonuses that two-handed weapons get too. Just to make it a good dip.

>>43897120

It's only useful for the dip into Strength of Arms, otherwise it's really pointless.

DSP really dropped the ball on that one.

>>43897120
>>43897322
To be honest, I think DSP's Landsknecht is kind of stupid.

Landsknechts are more renowned for their use of pike combat, or zweihanders, Hell, they don't evenmention arquebuses or firearms in general in the class.

Literally nobody ever has said "I want to play a Landsknecht for those badass Katzbalgers, or a Kriegsmesser!" Nobody.

0/10, shit Landsknechts, and an unwhelming class mechanically.

The real problem is there's no prestige class for spearing the ever loving shit out of somebody

How many pctures are there of Qlippoth tieflings?
I've only seen one, so I don't have a good grasp on what exactly they tend to look like other then "ugly".

>>43897664
As far as I know there's only that one from Blood of Fiends.

>>43897664
>so I don't have a good grasp on what exactly they tend to look like other then "ugly".

They've got tentacles in all the right, and wrong, places.

fuck me the kineticist is shit. Gather Power, a non-wild-talent supernatural ability, calls for a concentration check if you get hit while using it; and if you try to use the concentration modifier you'd use for the rest of your class features, it's just your Constitution bonus, not your level plus your Constitution bonus. like holy shit.

>>43897640
Aegis, is however pretty amazing for general spearing. So just make your hypothetical landsknecht an aegis.

I want to make a BBEG NE rogue 20/trickster 10, going for the "King of Thieves" archetype (Unchained rogue, obviously). I want him to be the love-child of Moriarty No 3pp, just pulling out all the stops to make the supreme rogue character. Does anyone have any advice on build, plot ideas, etc.?

Throughout the campaign, the PC's will deal with the effects of this crimes. The crimes will be mostly theft, drugs, murder, and forgery, but will escalate to include torture, assassination, trafficking with fiends, kidnapping the North Wind, inciting war, blasphemy, and other cruelties.

I'm thinking his grand plot will be to steal Sarenrae's halo (which is also kinda-sorta the Sun itself) and use this cosmic-level theft to climb higher in the cosmic food chain. Thoughts?

If your going to have him be the the ultra-smart manipulator archtype, be sure to either find the PCs as extremely unpredictle (and therefore deeply infuriating), or if he stays calm and cool make his death extra painful.

Moriarties can be very unsatisfying to players with all the "part of the plan" bullshit if they stay competent, so either satisfying reactions or a satisfying death where he fails utterly and cries about it will be very good for your players

>>43897955
>undercutting the traders

How has he not been dragged into a dark alley and had his face punched in

>>43897983
The world of Golarion has so many fucking towns, dude. This guy's character has shitloads of Kn: Geography, he knows that just as well as his player does.
YOU c'mon.

>>43897955
The thing you have to realize is that having shitloads of cash actually isn't a big deal. It gives them a few bigger numbers and the ability to extend their own stuff somewhat, and that's about it.

That said, there's almost guaranteed to be someone around who takes issue with magicking the economy for personal gain. If that person finds out a bout him, it's time for some good old fashioned Scry-and-die

>>43897955
supply and demand.
if the supply of something increases, prices and profits should go down.

>>43897999
He disguises himself differently and enters differently every time. He thought this through very carefully.
My only option is something like a rich sultan somehow finds out and kicks his teeth in, which I will have to use if this keeps up.

>>43897955
if he starts doing insane shit, throw insane shit right back.
If he justs wants to sit on a pile of gold, let him. If he wants to outfit each party member with a unique magic item, crank things up a bit. If he wants to build a Wickerman or a Mithril golem and lay seige to hell, go all the god damned way.

>>43898002

The trade between Avistan and Tian Xia alone should be enough to make that character filthy rich.

There's a reason the Path of Aganhei is popularly used even though it's literally across the arctic.

Just because he's disguised doesn't mean he automatically gets away with it

Even then, you can't tell me the traders aren't going to start looking for ANYONE out of place or suspicious if they feel they're being undercut.

>>43898077

>Implying he's trading in Tian Xia

>>43898134
Why wouldn't he?

>>43897955
Well he could do things the old fashion way, and just fucking wish for everything.

>people shed tears about tiers
>people actually think kineticists are overpowered as fuck when they out damage and out skill literally everyone in the party including the wizard
b-but muh burn

>>43898175
>kineticists
>doing anything
>ever

>>43897955
Why hasn't any other wizard in golarion done that?

There has to be some kind of order of wizards dedicated to keeping this sort of shit in check.

>>43898206
Except for when they can heal infinitely without burning any resources.

>>43898216
How would they know it's happening if he's disguising every time?

>>43898229
..

So?

>>43898229
Any character can.

Step 1: Lay down
Step 2: Wait

>>43898147

Trade between Tian Xia and Avistan is significantly more profitable than trading between towns in Avistan, plus the use of disguises is lessened since you're always just going to look like a filthy gaijin to people on half the trade "route."

We're talking tens of thousands of gp profit per trip, he could just make a handful of trips and buy that fancy mansion in Absalom and Oppara to live out his days fucking Tien girls and drinking the good stuff from Galt.

>>43898229
Not really? There's a burn cost for that. At some point you'll reach your burn limit or give the target enough burn that you're hurting more than helping.

>>43898245
Describe the places he's going into.

If he walks in front of anybody with goggles of true sight at any point, they're going to wonder why he's disguised.

>>43898336
Aren't goggles of true sight incredibly expensive? Not exactly a common magic item for random crowdwatchers.

>>43898357
That's why I'm asking who he's dealing with.

>>43898245

Divination spells out the ass.

>>43898306
Which is pretty hard to get to when you have literally only two stats that you need to put points into.

>>43898377
But why, specifically, do they decide to LOOK for him at all?

>>43898389
That still makes you a significantly worse healer than, say, a dude with a cure wand. You have to use up a resource which hurts you each time you use it, and is the same resource you use for your blasty stuff. "Without burning any resources" is flat-out wrong.

>>43898423
Well if someone notices that they just got undercut and lost a big profit out of nowhere they might start doing some investigation on who their competitor is.

>>43898424
Oh, you mean burn? Which you can get rid of with gathering power and internal buffer?

>>43898457
And their competitor is already on the other side of the world doing the same shit again with a completely different look.

>>43898423
Because a sudden unbalancing of the economy raises questions. where the fuck did all these trade goods come from? People get upset because business is being stolen from them. So they look into it; find out some guy came to town, sold shit, and then vanished.

So they do a couple divinations, find out about the guy, who probably doesn't have nondetection or mind blank going if he just got teleportation. He brings this problem to the attention of his peers.

Everybody agrees this is a problem. So they pool their resources and ask someone to help them deal with it. The league of Merchants has an extremely powerful resource at their disposal for this kind of thing.

And that'd be Adventurers.

>>43898497
i think the real thing of note here is that healing is weak as fuck

>>43898504
>the wizard is hired to find himself

>>43898497
You can't use gather power on utility talents, and the buffer essentially just gives you a couple more points. You can avoid taking any burn when you do your blasts if you never want to go nova, in which case you're a very mediocre damage dealer with mediocre healing that is still beaten by any other healing-focused class.

>>43898523
Mr.Bean, the Wizard Detective

>>43898500
Yeah that's what the divination spells are for.

>>43898229
I... Uh... You do realize that "heal infinitely" is a negligible cost, right? Buy a boots of the earth (5k). Now you have infinite healing. Amazing, the kinetiist is a worse version of a cheap item.

Or just buy cure wants, because they're cheap and healing in combat is shit.

>>43898504
That'd make for a super cool adventure for higher leveled PCs that can't just instantly memedivine with their own wizard actually.
Rolling around in your lad airship, tracking down leads, slowly figuring out that it's not an organization but one cunt that keeps teleporting, getting wrapped up in all kinds of shady black market shit in an attempt to get more info on him, etc.
