What are some easy ways to give a non-strongtail merfolk a speed (land or flight) of at least 30? All Paizo and Dreamscarred allowed, level 5 gestalt.

I want to avoid a mount if possible. Fins to Feet is too costly at this level.

Hey /pfg/, you guys probably know something about DPR calcs. How do I factor in a source of damage that only applies once per round, but can apply on any one attack that connects? Specifically Mesmerist's Painful Stare, if it matters.

It probably gives you a fucktons of good options (see: the aegis suggestion) but I unfortunately don't have as much familiarity with it as 1pp. Mostly because my GM is a lazy shit who refuses to look at and approve of DSP stuff because it's tax season and he's working all the time.

Here, have another.

Regarding last thread's brief discussion on phylacteries:
Successful Lich leading my undead army to world domination here.
I've already conquered two "countries" (what the fuck is Paizo smoking, it was like taking candy from a baby).
My phylactery is in my private demiplane. All the plane contains is my phylactery and just enough room for a body to form nearby. The plane is covered in about 18 permanent spells, including Mage's Private Sanctum, Nondetection, Protection from Good, Alarm, what-have-you. Layers of redundancy, just in case. Time does not pass inside the demiplane, and there is no need to eat, drink or sleep while within. You also cannot die of old age in the demiplane, as time doesn't pass. Any living being within is technically immortal. The only way inside the demiplane is for me to "die" and be recreated there, after which I am free to teleport wherever I desire.
The phylactery itself is my daughter, restrained so it can't kill itself, inside a small box covered in multiple layers of adamantium, inubrix and dreamstone, and enveloped in a shitload (at least 30) different permanent spells. The phylactery is a 17th level Sorcerer that's got a Geas to blast anyone but me with a slew of save-or-die spells (about 8 or so I believe) if they somehow miracle themselves into the demiplane. If that defense fails and the phylactery's container is damaged even a little, the phylactery teleports to my location as a last ditch effort. To prevent the phylactery from doing anything, the metal was molded around it, making sure it's restrained. It cannot kill itself due to a Geas preventing such activity.
My GM has absolutely no idea how to kill me.

>>46223734
>>46223931
I wanted to steal this for a homebrew setting, having a kitsune demigod stuck living in a cursed wood, too weak to escape because nobody remembered they existed. As long as they stayed near their shrine, they had awesome power, but too far away and they'd be too weak to defend themself.

If the party ever ran into the shrine, he would mistake a random party member for an old friend and refuse to hear reason.

Yes and no.

She's a horrible witch-bitch because she's a very jealous being that is not above landslides, plagues, or brutally murdering every woman in your life just for attention... But at the same time, she became this way due to centuries of loneliness and isolation in a tiny shrine on a lonely mountain.

Her actions are inexcusable, but the reasons behind her actions are sympathetic.

More relevantly, he was also an autistic prick who actively considered points of view other than his own to be inferior, and began every discussion from the stance of "I'm logical and correct, you're emotional and incorrect, let me teach you why you're wrong".

>>46223945
If time doesn't pass in the demiplane, then the 1d10 days it will take for your body to reform when you die will never pass. I think you've made a mistake. It's the same way that buff spells can't run out while you're on a demiplane where time doesn't pass.

>>46224152

Why would you possibly want to leave your modern young adult life to spend eternity in a lame little shrine with a clingy kitsune that hasn't even gained her third tail?

>>46224098
>>46224142
I mean it wouldn't be my first rodeo with freaky ERP so if it weren't for the fact that everything else in the game were awful I probably would have stuck around and played it out. The DM was on-board with that too, I think he and the druid players were friends or something. They seemed to know each other.

But everything else WAS awful and I didn't even consider the idea of sticking around.

>>46224159
My reformation takes 12 seconds, or rather, two standard actions worth of spellcasts, which works fine in there. One to create the body, and one to place my soul within. Once I die, my soul returns to the phylactery instantaneously.
Ah, Spheres of Power...

>>46224210
I spend all my time in one dingy room anyway, may as well pay to run DSL to a shrine and spend it in a slightly less dingy room with a cute girl who wants me.

Besides, this way you can watch her get her tails! Imagine throwing her a tailsday party!

>>46224097

No, that's the actual autism at work there. He literally can't decipher or communicate emotions through text, so he has no idea how to read or write tone. What he's actually done has been pretty nice. Donated money to DSP when they needed it (and no, it wasn't stolen from his mother, despite what that one butthurt liar kept saying), and let /pfg/ decide what the stuff he got was going to be.

Things are going to get wild when she gets her ninth tail.

Although it does sound like she's been around for a long time and still been stuck at two tails, which suggests she's doing something VERY wrong.

Mainly, being a mature, wise and responsible adult, which is what the tails are meant to reflect.

Best way to get constant flight at level 5 apart from race/aegis? Paizo/DSP allowed.

Real talk dudes: I'm autistic as all hell. You don't have to put that shit on public display. You can learn, through rote repetition if nothing else, to act like a human fucking being. The fact that he doesn't, and will prefer to argue the same stupid point for five goddamn threads despite getting blown the fuck out from response one, because he is somehow incapable of wrapping his head around the fact that he's wrong, tells me that he's either lazy, doesn't think we're worth it, or thinks himself better for it. These are all traits I find abhorrent, because that kind of shit is what gets autists shit on in the first place.

SoP has many ways to achieve flight really early on.
Also, I believe an Oracle mystery grants flight quite early, although I don't think it's level 5.

Well he's definitely not lazy, because as another diagnosed autist who is definitely a lazy fuck, I can confirm that the combinations leads to being chill enough to just let things go when you disagree with someone on the internet. I'm sure as hell not going to type out 6,000-ish characters across multiple posts just to address all the fine points of why I disagree with someone. Ignore the irony in this post, it's not lost on me.

Can confirm that it's possible for autists to learn to act at least somewhat natural. We're not all alike though, so I'm sure some people have a harder time of it. I consider myself lucky that my /tg/ interests helped me make some friends IRL during high school, since that in turn helped me learn to function normally. More normally, at least.

I guess it is still restricted by race, but it is pretty broad at least.

Your mistake is expecting consistency and logic. You can take Racial Heritage (Kobold) to get a tail slap (Tail Terror)

>>46224337
But he's often right about rules shit anyway.

>>46224503

>>46224557

>>46224609
Magic. Kitsune is pretty easy though, you have a kitsune ancestor which is pretty plausible since in japanese mythology all kitsune seem to do is try and get into the pants of some poor man. As for Tengu wings an ancestor was a friend of a tengu magician who blessed that man's line with a connection to the Tengu.

>>46224497
Touhou. He might be somewhat annoying, but he brings up good points and has a reasonable grasp of the rules, which has allowed him to add some things to the FAQ through speaking with DSP devs.

BUILDPOSTER on the other hand seems to lack any sort of system mastery and is generally abrasive, moreso than the earnest lack of understanding 2hu has.

>>46224564

>Play a human with Racial Heritage (Kobold) for the tail slap
>Fluff it as a butt-bump

Combat maneuvers don't provoke attacks of opportunity unless you botch them. Improved maneuvers/dirty fighting means they don't provoke period.

You can high-jump much higher if you roll well enough, because it makes sense to me that the brawler who killed a fucking triceratops in one punch can jump high enough to grab a flying mage.

>>46224619
>Treat Deadly Wounds: When treating deadly wounds, you can restore hit points to a damaged creature. Treating deadly wounds restores 1 hit point per level of the creature. If you exceed the DC by 5 or more, add your Wisdom modifier (if positive) to this amount. A creature can only benefit from its deadly wounds being treated within 24 hours of being injured and never more than once per day. You must expend two uses from a healer's kit to perform this task. You take a –2 penalty on your Heal skill check for each use from the healer's kit that you lack.

It was less that he proved it and more than he was ignoring the memes. Kineticist is nowhere near as bad as the memes say, but it's still not good; Aether Kineticist is pretty much Tier 4 and can do some impressively silly shit.

>>46224619
TWF gives you the second attack on your standard action, one-handing lets you use Combat Expertise with no attack penalty, and shields are all keyed to a particular physical damage type that they're weak to so they provide DR [x] / that type. And no I don't have a crossbow or gun rule, I just can't bring myself to care that they suck.

>>46224534
I mean, I considered asking my GM for a Kitsune waifu if I ever got to use leadership, but other than that I've had no real reason to ever play a female kitsune. Closest thing I've done so far is make the kitsune I am playing very effeminate.

>>46224859

I can believe that, I just wish you didn't have to deal with fucking burn.

I just wanted to play an airbender without managing how much nonlethal unhealable damage I have to carry around to be good at my job, and my GM preemptively banned the class because he hated the "cast from hitpoints" thing and didn't think it filled any useful niche in the setting.

>>46223889
I liked him!

>>46224968
That's pretty much how you have to play kineticist: you have a certain amount of burn that you need to get Elemental Overflow bonuses, so you distribute exactly that much burn into your passives (the defense wild talents).

You don't ever want to take burn past that, so all combat and utility tech is judged based on 'can I activate this with no more than a move-action of Gather Power'. Internal Buffer gives you a tiny bit of leeway, but by and large 'taking burn' is something you should never ever do as a PC kineticist.

When will DSP put on the mask and make the discipline?

>>46225279
It'll go with the PoW archetype for the Vigilante, of course.

A bolt ace gunslinger with rapid reload can reload his hand crossbow or light crossbow as "not an action"

What the hell does that mean?

No what's the point of A Kitsune that doesn't have just ears and a tail.

>>46225303
What's the point of a kitsune at all?

>>46225295
Not an action mean it's not limited to your turn, like free actions, and it's not limited by the dm, like free actions. As long as you have ammo and are capable of reloading you can assume your crossbow is loaded.

2hufag really is a nice guy. He does have significant flaws; mainly perfectionism, an inability to stop arguing when he thinks he's in the right, and that coupled with unable to read people's emotions well does make him frustrating for a lot of people.

But he's not malicious, takes things to heart when trying to improve, and from what I understand he runs well balanced and flavourful games, if somewhat uninspired characterwise.

I've always found him to be trying as hard as he can to be polite while putting forth his opinion; sadly 4chan sees that as being passive aggressive, rather than being oblivious/unresponsive to the barbed jibes thrown at him.

Actually, this leads to an interesting query

What Skills do not yet have Disciplines associated with them? And what ideas could we come up with for them?

I'm not sure if Knowledge (Engineering has one, so would it perhaps be something like pic related?

>>46225478
Probably either Steelfist Commando, Monk of the Silver Fist, or some flavor of wizard.

>>46225478

Also, how do you deal with the Heavy Shit that is the "your child was kidnapped and probably sold into slavery" background trait?

Got a question, /pfg/.

My group's getting back into PF after a long haitus from the game, and we're starting a new campaign this weekend with level 4 characters. My GM has indicated he thinks it might be best for the group if I tried playing a wizard, given that my compatriots are not generally inclined to play full-casters and we usually end up needing one.

Only thing is, I've never actually played a full-caster, either. How the fuck does one wizard at level 4? I'm not used to classes that have basically nothing to fall back on when spells per day are exhausted.

>>46225451
The expression "foxy" exists for a reason, both in English and Japanese.

>>46225481
Neither Swim nor Climb have associated disciplines, meaning a Str-focused initiator is fuckled.

>>46225481

>>46225303

Why would someone possibly want to play the anthro-fox when kenomomimi, full-on fox or pure human is superior?

>>46225499
I looked that up and it turns out there's actually a mildly interesting reason for that.

http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=foxy

You need one spell per fight. Do you have four spells available at level 4?

Cantrips aren't expended on use, so prepare one of the 1d3 rays and then you'll have at least something to do every round.

If your GM intends to give you decent downtime in between sessions/missions, pick up the Wondrous Item Creation feat.

I'm not interested in fucking some effeminate twink up the ass just because they're wearing a pretty skirt and stuffed bra. It's gross and not for me, but the thing that gets me bothered is it being marketed as something I *should* be attracted to, because apparently straight men should want to fuck other men.

>>46225908
Anon I hate to break it to you....
The one in pants is female the one is a skirt is male.

>>46225908
That human emperor's train of thought regarding little Mare was priceless, I'll admit.

Overlord's one of the few where 'traps' are played out fairly amusingly and not disgustingly or creepily.

Mostly because the guardians don't actually understand the concept but have "deciphered" that obviously since a supreme being wanted it this way it's definitely how things must be; children wear the opposite sex's clothing until they're old enough.

Demiurge is probably wondering at what age to get Mare a nice suit worthy of his position.

>>46225967
There's no point in a stuffed bra, they're just cute as they are, and they look good in the clothing they look good in!

But really, I want a character who lays traps/special terrain/ something around the battlefield to make it a bullethell environment.

Sadly probably can't be done well in this type of game

>>46225967
No one is telling you what to like with any seriousness.

Grinding Glacier. Defensive style, that focuses on keeping close to enemies, grapples, and deflecting attacks. Weapon Groups are Close, Axes, and Hammers

>Knowledge (Engineering)
Golden Architect. Supernatural. A math focused discipline that puts emphasis on sundering and bypassing defenses. Weapon Groups are Thrown, Hammers, and Improvised Weaponry

>Disable Device
Finger of Havoc. Focuses on Sunder, steal, trips, disarming, and sabatoging enemy actions. High in counters. Weapon Groups are Close, Light Blades, Crossbows, and Firearms

>Escape Artist
Formless Wisp. Supernatural. Emphasis on combat mobility, attacks of opportunity, and anti-flanking maneuvers. High level stuff includes turning into phantom or misty forms. Weapon Groups are Close, Light Blades, and Heavy Blades.

>Disguise
Pale Masquerade. Honestly not too sure. Not even sure if it should be supernatural or not. I guess it'd be like Shattered Mirror, but the opposite somehow. Could probably work well with feints. Weapon Groups could be Close, Double, and Improvised Weaponry.

This is what I got so far. Thoughts? Should I try to brainstorm more?

Tell me about the times you've been rewarded with land or titles, /pfg/.

Because I keep hearing that's a standard thing for mid/high level adventurers but I've yet to see a reward at that level which wasn't just "here's another quest you little shit" or a generic pot of gold.

Bonus points if you actually got to play around with your new land or titles, and extra double points if you turned the game into Crusader Kings 2, complete with wife/husband-shopping.

Balance is questionable though, don't mix it with regular classes.

I'm neutral to the whole thing since I'm not into that either, but I do think that those telling us we SHOULD be into traps *may* have a bit of a "congressman in airport bathrooms" issue.

That is to say, they're sounding a little too desperate trying to convince themselves that they're not actually gay.

Calculate the decimal probability of missing all your attacks. Subtract that from 1 to get the probability that at least one hits. Multiply the answer by your painful stare's average damage. The answer is the average DPR of your painful stare.

Then just get a bunch of spheres of annihilation instead, it's a move action to take/keep control of one, but a free action to move them. So you can control two at a time, unless you find some way to get more move actions, and just throw them around and play bullet hell because anything that they touch dies, isn't it wonderful?
As for how to go about getting them well that is a little more difficult.

Since when are thieves' guilds officially sanctioned by the crown?

>>46226183
There's only so much design space. You could attempt but overlap may occur.

>>46226138
Oh, and because I realized I forgot how to do the first step.

http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/monsters/monsterCreation.html

Those are the average stats for a monster of any given CR. Compare your to-hit to whatever AC you'd like, usually a monster with CR equal to your level for a mook or CR+4 for a boss. Many monsters vary from these because they're meant to be strong/weak in different areas, but it's a bit hard to take that into account. For an example, let's look at a level 6 full-BAB class, assuming two iterative attacks at +10/+5 for nice round numbers.

Average AC at CR 6, a mook to this guy, is 19. So the first attack hits on a roll of 9 or higher, and the second hits on 14 or higher. So for all attacks to miss, this guy has to roll an 8 or lower on the first iterative, a 40% chance, AND then roll a 13 or lower on the second iterative, a 65% chance. To find the probability of both of these occurring, multiply .4 and .65 to get .26, or a 26% chance both attacks miss a mook. In this case, you would multiply your painful stare's average damage by .74, since painful stare has a 74% chance of applying to a mook encounter.

For CR 10, a boss encounter to our hypothetical level 6 full-BAB guy, the average AC is 24. He needs a 14 or higher to hit with the first and a 19 or higher to hit with the second. The chance of either missing is 65% for the first and 90% for the second. Thus, the chance of both missing would be 58.5%, and since your painful stare would apply 41.5% of the time, you would multiply its average damage by .415 to find its average DPR against a boss.

>>46226168
Nah, I like 'em both well enough. I just vastly prefer the aesthetics of the female body, which traps (and yeah, futa) are way closer to than regular dudes.

>>46226184
No, ranger traps are particularly terrible.

First off it's a class ability you have to pay for. Literally.

Second, it takes forever. It's not like some games where 'traps' are something you'd quickly set as an action like a delayed blast fireball or the like.

Third, the general parameters of them are complete shit.


*THAT SAID*... There ARE ways of maximizing traps that are completely broken and go against the very spirit of the game... and THOSE can actually be somewhat useful.

I won't say too much lest it be forever "errata" nerfed away, but consider covering yourself in things that'll autotrigger and self-reset while you fight; effectively weapons not using your actions.

/pfg/ how do I price vehicle construction and design?

• Strength refluffed to Guts.
• Weapon list is mostly guns.
• Most guns can make 'melee' attacks and threaten out to 10ft using Guts to hit and damage as if they are melee reach weapons, but can also make a true ranged attack as a standard action, as a special ability of the weapon. These attributes flucuate with weapon variety of course.
• Long-ranged bows still exist as sniper rifles with their Dex-based hitting (Guts to damage though).

Modern setting that can actually use all the melee-focused gameplay of PF. Your wizard will look like a dork though.

The math here is fine, but the CRs presented are off and the monster creation table is an inaccurate farce. You'd get better numbers from looking through a few creatures of the appropriate CR of varying roles, and looking at what NPCs of the right level are capable of.

A creature of your CR is not a mook, unless you consider your character a mook for some reason. They're the same threat level as your character. You're more likely to see creatures 1 to 3 CRs under you running interference or throwing abilities around in a well designed encounter, and an enemy of your CR or 1 or 2 points higher as a 'boss'.

>>46226657
Good points. I assumed that he was in a party of 4-6 PCs and thus one creature of level-equivalent CR was not a challenge, fair enough, should have mentioned the party assumption. It's also true that looking at actual statblocks of monsters and NPCs will be more accurate, but in my experience if you'd just like a quick ballpark estimate of something the monster creation table is acceptable. Although to be fair that also assumes you have enough experience to know what sort of margin of error the table has.

Okay, here goes

>Handle Animal
Velvet Lash. Supernatural, it focuses on restricting enemies while also giving bonuses to Ally actions and movements. Weapon Groups are Flails, Spears, and Polearms

>Appraise
Gilded Eye. Supernatural. Focuses on creating and manipulating "supply and demand" of the battlefield. Includes granting temporary HP and points to people's different pools, balancing out the strengths of allies and enemies, and redirection. Can also use coins as weapons. Weapon Groups include Bows, Thrown, and Polearms

>Use Magic Device
Diamond Butterfly. Supernatural, this discipline is a bit different. It specializes in granting equipment Enhancement bonuses, transferring Qualities between weapons and armor in your possession, and even chaining, linking, and using magic items with your Weapon. Weapon Groups are Double Weapons, Monk Weapons, and you can use Staffs, Wands, and Rods as Discipline Weapons.

>Linguistics
Iron Tongue. Not sure what to do here. Feels like it would have too much overlap with Golden Lion and Scarlet Throne. Could possibly be paired with Craft (calligraphy) to make a fruity writing-themed discipline. Weapon Groups would be Light Blades, Polearms, and Spears.

That should cover the basic skills. Next will be the Knowledge ones

Consider the ramifications of the "War on <insert subject here>", rampant data collection and Civil Assets Forfeiture.

What the fuck *else* can you call having no legal protection against being sexually assaulted just because it's an airport and the person wears a uniform?

What the fuck *else* can you call having your shit stolen by cops or feds purely for the sake of "we want a new TV, and I want this guy's tablet for free"?

That's not even counting the amount of blackmail and stalker creeping that has been provided and enhanced by the data acquisition programs and drone tech, which have *both* already been proven (and officially admitted to) to have done *nothing*(for our security) save be used for wanton abuses ranging from creeping on your ex to planting pedo files on people you don't like?

Systematic, organized, government-protected crime, where the victims have no legal recourse and are severely outgunned can and does happen. It happens a lot.

We're standing knee deep in the shit, and most of us can't bring ourselves to see it because it's too much like a bad movie.

Oh yes, the costs are their own problem.
But this is too.

Under these changes, those goblins dealing 1d4 can basically no longer harm the mech at all.

But that's an illusion of power... Because by the time you're level 10-12, there's nothing that isn't ignoring said hardness and turning you into an expert in HALF a full-attack (and you'll need what, a week back home to fix it? hope you don't get a SECOND encounter this adventure!)

When two of my players couldn't make it, I ran a side session where the three remaining players took control over the loli oracle's childish haunted spirits. Their job was to cheer their mistress up (because the party just found out that the superweapon they had managed to salvage had been stolen), and they decided the best way to do that was to fetch her sticks of cinnamon, because earlier in the campaign they had helped make cinnamon bread and it was delicious. The makeshift party then tore their way round the flying ship they owned, fooling the ship's attendant spirit, dodging a very angry fairy familiar and achieved their goal of cheering the loli up by being very silly and cute indeed.

I'm lying, of course. I didn't play the side session in pathfinder at all, but simpled6.

>>46226818
That's part of the issue with Ssalarn. He rarely listens to feedback.

Traps are not pfg related. 2hu autism is not pfg related. You can hop into an irc to discuss this stuff. Going off topic once in a while is fine but come on guys.

So question about throwing magus. If you have the sharding weapon quality, can you deliver your spell storing weapon effect? Can you deliver your touch spell through the thrown weapon through the sharing?I know that spell hurling weapons exist, but it is specifically for a one handed melee throwing weapon. I'm wondering about the possibilities of getting virtually ranged spell strike and. I've got a concept that is likely done with the throw anything and quick draw, but having a one handed spear with sharding could let me attack one guy from range and deliver my stored spell and my cast touch spell without having to rely on a one handed spear or throwing axe.

Also, with quick draw and a blink back belt, could I just throw my spell storing spear, that also delivers my touch spell with the spell hurling as my "free" attack, then quick draw a great sword and full attack with that? Spell combat isn't capable with a 2h weapon so even if I can get free actions to switch my weapons it won't work?

Finally is there any interactions of full attacking with thrown weapons and melee that I'm missing?

>>46227088
>Nowhere should this natural fusion and evolution be more visible and apparent than in the natural joining of psionics and technology that has occurred in numerous bodies of fiction over the past decades. Whether it’s Superboy bonding with an intelligent battle-sphere, Bao-Dur combining Jedi powers with a bionic arm and droid repair sphere, or Professor Xavier using Cerebro to amplify his natural telepathic abilities, psionics and technology go together like peanut-butter and jelly.
So what I'm getting from this is that Ssalarn's image of mechs is "shiny round things".

>Rocket Punch (Ex): By spending 1 Boost point as a full round action, the mech pilot initiates a charge attack against an opponent that deals double damage on a successful melee attack. At 11th level, this damage bonus increases to triple damage. At 17th level, it increases to quadruple. These damage multipliers do not stack with those from the lance, Spirited Charge, or other similar effects.
Also that he learned what a Rocket Punch is by watching that episode of Pokemon where the joke was that Pikachu wasn't actually using a Rocket Punch.

>>46227133
A fighter doesn't get magic weapons as a class ability. Wizards START THE GAME with a Spellbook and recover them for free, as well as learning more at each level. This is different.

>>46227131
Nope.

But there is a 3rd party enchantment called Solar from Tome of munitions 2 that literally opens its description with "Your hand is burning red, its loud roar tells you to grasp victory!"

It's a +5 enchantment that makes your opponent explode in an enormous point-blank fireball on a crit that hurts everyone but you.

Meanwhile Ssalarn makes a motorcycle that's slower than a BMX.

The BMX bandit is literally better at his job than Ssalarn is at making vehicles.

Except it's still not. Because EVERYONE can use magic weapons. Not everyone can use traps, but the ranger still has to shell out money to utilize his own class features.

>With a two-handed weapon, you add 1-1/2 times your Dexterity bonus on damage rolls, and with an off-hand weapon, you add half your Dexterity bonus on damage rolls. As per the ability's text, if an effect would prevent you from adding your Strength modifier on damage rolls, you don't add your Dexterity modifier. However, any other effects that would increase the multiplier to your Strength bonus on damage rolls (such as the two-handed fighter archetype's overhand chop) do not affect your Dexterity bonus on damage rolls.
