I am starting to really hate /pfg/. It's odd. At one point I thought the folks here were more reasonable than the fuckers in the paizo forums. Then I realized the folks here are just as trash but in a different way.

Close, it's an alternate racial trait, from Blood of Shadows.

>Sure Step (2 RP): Adventurers can spend their whole careers in the alleys and sewers of large cities or the tunnels of the Darklands. Characters with this trait suffer no movement penalties when blinded or moving in darkness.

Yeah, but it's really weird because they wasted a ton of pagespace listing custom flying-eyeball stats when they could've just said "isitoq but not undead".

>>46420335
It's from Fire Emblem Awakening; the Fighter character is using Dual Guard to take the hit for the Mage, and while Dual Guarding the ally that does the defending takes no damage whatsoever, no matter the circumstances.

Fuck now I know what I'm making when I get animate dead with my current necromancer

Fire Emblem. If one character is adjacent to another being attacked, they'll sometimes randomly leap in front of the attackee and take the hit full on, somehow resulting in no damage to either of them.

They promised to fix the system. Then they took hours of hard work and feedback, spat it in their testers' faces, mocked and flamed anyone that didn't conform to their doctrine, nerfed shit like Quick Draw out of spite, and then banned the loyal testers they'd betrayed.

After, SKR and Bulmahn spent years turning their forums into an echo chamber by bullying and flaming anyone with system knowledge, often followed by a ban.

>>46422758
It's JJ, if it's lawful that means it's actually evil instead.

>>46422821
At least since 2003 cannibalism (eating any sapient being) has been evil, doesn't matter if they're fresh or not. Although, actually, I can see it being not evil if you have to just to survive, like being trapped with bodies during a massive blizzard without other sources of food. Killing sapient beings just to eat them should still be considered evil.

>subjective morality
>in D&D

Yes, and animating skeletons isn't evil if you use them for work!
>>
>>46422891
Well intent does matter, because intent is the difference between killing and murder. The problem with d&d morality is that it's never defined where the line is drawn. Theft is chaotic, looting corpses of fallen enemies is still taking items that aren't yours, but it's not chaotic.
>>
>>46422474
>>46422551
Does this mean JJ holds eating other intelligent beings in a higher regard than trying to help intelligent beings breed into optimal genetics?
>>
>>46422913
A better analogy would be, robbing a grave is chaotic, and sometimes evil, robbing a corpse is not alignment shifting.
>>

My only real problem with Mengkare is that he seems to think this will /work/. It won't.

Said Tiefling will then be contacted by agents of the Abyss looking to undermine the Glorious Endeavor, and all will be lost.

I don't mind the concept of the island, I don't mind the idea that Mengkare thinks they're doing Good. I just, personally, don't think it's good, and I don't think the alignment system gives us enough information to go off of to determine whether or not it actually is.

I just realized that Lolth also uses eugenics on the Drow in Faerun.

But she purposefully adds fiendish blood from Wendonai, faerzress radiation from the Underdark, and survival of the fittest.

If Mengkare is LG, and Lolth is CE, then eugenics is neutral. The only difference is the method and outcome.

Wrong word dingus. Any animal capable of emotional response and problem solving is sentient, like dogs.

>>46423116
Why does everyone get sentience wrong, sentience is literally the ability to perceive and feel, basically every living thing thats not like a fucking plant is sentient. Sapience is more of a grey area thats harder to define and while chocobos probably aren't sapient pokemon definitely are.
>>
>>46423317

Basically be a native outsider race with a bonded item as a racial feature. Let them:
>merge with their item to gain fast healing like the kami do
>have SLAs usable when merged based on the item type, like the Bonded Witch
>change shape like a mimic while merged with the item, but have the item revert to its base form (as selected at 1st level) when they leave the merge

Could have a racial variant that has familiars instead, and maybe a druidic variant for the plant spirits.

I'd say that eating sapient/sentient creatures is *probably* evil, though it requires a few extenuating circumstances.

If purely for survival? Probably not, though still morally questionable.

If part of some funerary right? Also probably not evil (depends on religion).

I still do understand why everyone thinks cannibalism is evil. I mean sure, if you murder someone with the intent to cannibalize them then that's obviously evil, but that's because of the murder.

Sadly, Kuru's Cannibalistic Vitality is awful. If it was a temp HP per HD of the creature, or per level, or it stacked with itself up to a limit, it might be usable (if not something to build around), but as-written it's garbage because temp HP don't stack with themselves unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Still, it could make for a decent initiator. Stalker comes to mind.

Nevermind you can just refluff a Strix' appearance. Nevermind that racial flight from level 1 is already ridiculous, give em more.

Garbage, but better than the rest.

Buff-centric Oracle would do well, two (if not three, depends on what the spiritualist goes for) of your party members are attack-roll-damage-dealers. Just casting Bless and getting into melee with a Longspear behind the Synthesist every encounter would be a great boon early on - accuracy outweighs damage in rusty dagger shanktown, because everybody dies in one or two hits.

Be sure to grab Dispel Magic at 6th.

He speaks like a true wizard-only grognard, anon. There are people who legitimately think that classes that aren't capable of ruining the game by themselves are worthless, simply as a virtue of not being able to ruin the game.

>>46424985
Magi can't summon a solution to pretty much any problem as a multiple-times-a-day class feature. Which is why they're T3, and Synthesists are low T2.

I toss succubi into chastity devices for my own sexual gratification.

Synthesists can't do that whatsoever while fused with their eidolon, and have fewer feats available to carry Summon Monster into the high levels, since several are used up making their own melee viable.

>>46425027

>>
>>46425099
No, garbage by comparison to literally any other kind of Summoner except Broodmaster, which is probably the worst archetype, since action economy with multiple eidolons is worthless if none of them can hit.
>>
>>46425099
arcanists*
>>
>>46425124
Okay, but that doesn't make them garbage overall. You don't seem to be getting the point here.
>>
>>46425080
In the guy's party, that Synthesist could very well be going around without the Eidolon on all the time, using his Summon Monster ability to make up for the lack of a real arcane spellcaster.

Furthermore, that doesn't change the fact that the Synthesist still has the versatile options, even if they require him to do a little bit of sacrificing.

And finally, "garbage" implies it's not good, but the Synthesist is very much not garbage. "Garbage in comparison" is a worthless metric, because a Witch is "garbage in comparison" to a Wizard, but it's still a wildly powerful class with lots of useful features that makes it stronger that the VAST amount of content for PF.

*Holy Shield Paladin, there to take all the Damage for the Party

Rather than postpone the game until next week, I really do encourage you guys to go on without me; Sigurd's sheet is updated, he's not really got a lot going on in terms of bells and whistles (unless you consider maneuvers a bell and skills a whistle) and really, all the plot will be available on the IC Channel so I can do my homework to catch up when I finally get power this week.

It's 1PP only and the party lacks fullcasters entirely. Assuming they survive Rusty Dagger Shanktown, they're going to need at least one for certain situations - Dispelling, removing afflictions like poison, diseases, and curses, depending on the campaign they might need some item creation, and probably most important of all, level-relevant divinations, because an adventuring party without information is a dead one.

>An ethereal creature is invisible, insubstantial, and capable of moving in any direction, even up or down, albeit at half normal speed. An ethereal creature can move through solid objects, including living creatures. An ethereal creature can see and hear on the Material Plane, but everything looks gray and ephemeral. Sight and hearing onto the Material Plane are limited to 60 feet.

>Force effects and abjurations affect an ethereal creature normally. Their effects extend onto the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, but not vice versa. An ethereal creature can't attack material creatures, and spells you cast while ethereal affect only other ethereal things. Certain material creatures or objects have attacks or effects that work on the Ethereal Plane.

>An ethereal creature treats other ethereal creatures and ethereal objects as if they were material.

Question 1: No. Ethereal creatures have no limitation on how much material they can pass through, senses are more limited, and ethereal creatures are flat-out immune to the attacks of material creatures and vice-versa.

Question 2: Absolutely nothing, dimensional anchor prevents interplanar transit, including teleportation (since teleportation, by default, makes use of transitive planes like the astral or ethereal), but incorporeal creatures are simply immaterial beings on the same plane as you. It's like asking what dimensional anchor would do to a cloud.

I imagine Scarlet Throne is something I would want to focus on, and that utility disciplines like Riven Hourglass and Veiled Moon become that much more important? Since it looks like the Bushi can recover a maneuver every turn, can I theoretically just cycle between two strikes to make up for not having as good a full attack cycle?

Bonus points if I can actually do a one-armed swordsman.

So tell me, what do you think of pic related?

I'm sure it's too strong for a PC race as a first pass, but I think I've at least gotten it into the general neighborhood.
>>
>>46425862
You won't be getting as much of your damage output from your weapon dice or Dexterity score as a different build would, so you'll need to go for maneuvers and stances that maintain your damage output in some fashion - probably damaging boosts with accuracy-assisting strikes. You'll be low on counters, but the Bushi's recovery method is handy for strikespam, so if you grab Extra Readied Maneuver a few times you'll be able to pick two or three very solid strikes and put the rest into boosts/counters that you swap out as the situation demands.
>>
>>46425862
if you go Bushi Brutal Stalker 7/Landsknecht 1 with the Scarlet Throne Style line, you are pretty much 100% considered to be two-handing any weapon you use for effectively every purpose, even if you're straight missing an arm.

It's not as effective as going Bushi Zweihander Sentinel Warder 5/Landsknecht 1, but it's an option.

Yyyyeah, kinda out of control. The incorporeality, the flight, the immunities, the ability to change wards constantly which goes completely against the concept...

Kami explicitly don't. It's part of the subtype.

>>
>>46425960
The thing about that though, deadly agility doesn't get benefits from using a weapon two-handed, and unless I sink some points into strength I won't have power attack... Though power attack + furious focus would probably be a nice bonus if I'm going to focus mainly on single strikes.

I was thinking about that one and trying to figure out how to keep the 'possessing spirit' vibe without getting into the even weirder thing the tsukumogami have going, where you have to stat an animated object and then apply a template on top of that.

What about making it so they always count as merged with ward (no incorporeal subtype, etc)?

Maybe a 1/day or 1/week limit on switching wards?
>>
>>46426037

You're one feat away from being 2-3 points of damage worse than just wielding the sword in two hands.

It's not a bad investment for what is essentially huge amounts of style.

>>46426035
I mean, if you're intent on being Dex-based, then yeah, it's not a good option. You're pretty much entirely reliant on using Scarlet Throne maneuvers in that case, because most Stalker disciplines are not so good at pure damage (outside of Broken Blade, obviously).

But if you want to be a 100% legit one-armed swordsman, Str-based Bushi Brutal Stalker or Zweihander Sentinel into Landsknecht is the way to go.

Really, the one-armed swordsman would just be an excuse to play someone wearing very light or no armor and just being ungodly fast. Since I wanted to go full Dex, I can only assume that I'd be trying to use manuevers to cripple anything I attacked until it can't fight back instead of outright killing it, and constantly refreshing manuevers and boosts with the bushi's recovery method. If I needed damage, there's got to be a few decent "ONE MIGHTY STRIKE" manuevers to try for a pure style kill. Even if I'm suboptimal I'll still be within tier 3, right?

Half-Giant gets Powerful Build, so you can use a Large Greatsword or whatever in your one hand to help mitigate the loss of damage early on.

>T2, T1, T5, T4-5
Your group is all over the place, so a T3 would fit snugly. Consider a Gunsmoke Mystic using DSP's alternate Firearm rules (the ones with armor penetration and no misfire crap). If possible, go with a Rifle and take Rapid Reload. Fluff it as a ring lever-action rifle that you spin to chamber each round, and when describing your character's appearance, make him Clint Eastwood without actually saying Clint Eastwood, and see how long it takes the party to figure it out.

Oh, and of course use Elemental Flux and that Silver Crane PrC, because obviously the new Sheriff in town is Good.

>>46427732
First two are why I say they have cost issues at low levels (though ammo can be obviated with abundant ammunition), misfiring has a solution built in to the gunslinger so they never explode unless you're playing retarded, range doesn't really matter (get the Gunslinger feat if you're terrified about melee) and the last part's been done to shit.

I play Iron Gods and at least there gunslingers are broken to shit and back. Almost nothing has good touch AC (even in general) and clustered shots means DR doesn't matter, while dex+deadly aim means good damage. x4 crits make it even worse.
>>
>>46427882
An optimized archer is likely far better at the gunslinger's job, even when everything is going right for the gunslinger. Tech weapons may tip things in their favor, but they're hardly easy to get and actually are effectively nonexistent outside of that one campaign.

In 99% of situations, the Gunslinger is pretty much straight garbage.
>>
>>46427988
An optimized archer's better than literally everything fucking else though.

That's like saying a wizard is better at casting than a motherfucking bloodrager.
>>
>>46428033
I don't think it's really THAT different. The Archer is definitely better, but not "T1 vs. high T4" levels of better.
>>
>>46428081
The analogy is appropriate if you scale it down to 'Hitting Dudes' scale.
>>
>>46427988
Actually for anyone with gunslinger levels or gunslinger archetype levels, tech weapons are a clean downgrade in all but range - and the range *only* matters if your GM likes maps that are more than 400ft across (which is where a regular advanced rifle can reach touch without Empowered Shots, Distance or the like). But you will pay for it. It's hundreds if not thousands of arrows cost-wise for a single nonmagical shot of a goddamn laser pistol.

Then you realize the sonofabitch you're shooting has 10 fire resist or there's dust in the air or there's an object with hardness in the way and BAM! your laser rifle just became half a non-composite shortbow with several magnitudes the cost.

Half-assedly optimized archers are better than gunslingers at their job (the job is doing damage from beyond melee range), early gunslingers better than advanced gunslingers, and tech users are usually somewhere in the vicinity of "kineticist" minus all the "cool abilities".

For 99.8% of builds and characters, the ranged tech weapons are a trap you cannot hope to escape unmutilated.

For gunslingers to be broken in an AP or Campaign is no testament to anyone using a gun... But it speaks volumes of the AP or GM's quality.
