what are the important stats for a vigilante.

>>46427836
Justice and vengeance.

>>46427859
Be sure to max those things like crazy. Put some "LARGE HAM" in, just for good

Question for you /pfag/s.

Do you consider an oracle's curse more of an asset or detriment to a player mechanically?

I ask because one of my players is arguing for a curseless oracle (technically it's a flavor based curse, rather than anything mechanical) and I'm not sure how that would shake out balance-wise.

>>46427899
Curses are a double-edged sword.

Haunted is neat, Tongues is okay, Burnt is... unfortunate. I cannot, however, recommend Blind.

Guy who's used this picture for character art in previous games here. This isn't a character from any fiction, it's just part of a set of interesting character designs. The anon was asking for build ideas based on the character's look and feel, nothing more. Here's another from the same set.

So can you like... Do anything else to improve the Warlock's bolts?

>>46427899
Oracles have curses. Its just how they are.

>>46427890

Now, see, I know how important HAM can be, but I've been looking at the SRD, and I can't help but wonder if it's worth it putting a point or two in Cheese. What do you think, too MAD?

>>46427899
Depends, some of them are relatively mild enough that it's not too bad even before you start getting the extra effects.

>>46427899
Balance-wise, the Oracle is damn strong even with the curse, so giving him a curse that doesn't hurt him at all should obviously not give him any interesting or good powers in return.

You get out what you put in, effectively, and if your curse doesn't do anything meaningful, then you shouldn't get anything meaningful from it.

>>46427933
Got a link to the full set?

>>46427899
Curses vary widely in terms of benefit or detriment. The Tongues curse is easily ignored just by having someone else in the party who can speak the same language as you, and the Lame curse doesn't matter if you already plan to wear medium armor or heavier. Meanwhile Clouded Vision can be a huge detriment, and you don't even get See in Darkness out of it

Does anyone else fill out flashcards for encounters? If so what do you write down? Is it the entire statblock with a small tactics section, just the bare details? If so, what do you consider the bare minimum?

How to statting Serah Kerrigan / queen of blades. Infested Terran / primal Zerg form.

Her primary powers seem to be drawn from psychometabolism, telepathy (all psi index 5-8 terrans are psychics), telekinesis (psi index 8-10 terrans are rare enough to be thought a myth, but they're the ones that actually have telekinetic powers). Serah and Nova are as far as I'm aware the only class 10 terrans. Kerrigan once infested became class 11, and after she undid the head fuckery in sc1 she was class 12 (arguably the most powerful psychic in setting, barring stuff like multiple merged archons). After going primal her psi index was apparently off the damn charts.

>>46428102
Yeah, but if you go for the cheese too, you have to put points into condiments for balance.

Mesmerists can when activating their tricks or Painful Stare, but otherwise not that I know of.

Only if the ability specifies you can. Armiger's Mark, from the Warder, is one such ability that does so.

So, how much gold would a chastity belt cost?

>>46429318
Are we talking magical or mundane?
Plain or nice looking?
Crude or comfortable?
For boy or for girl?

>>46429318
10 to 50, then any special materials, plus the cost of the lock.

>>46429339
Well much like there's qualities of locks I'm assuming there'd have to be multiple quality levels for the belt. This example let's just say a mundane, plain but comfortable belt for a girl.

I'm also assuming the size of the creature would play a part, so let's say Medium. Humanoid also.

How do I pyromancer, /pfg/? I've found a few different choices like Flame-Spirit Shaman, DSP's Pyrokineticist prestige class, and Fire Kineticist but I figured I'd check to see if there was something I overlooked.

Blasting is obviously an advantage, but ideally also something with the ability to not fry teammates, and the ability to not be useless when something fire-immune comes along, either due to some ability to penetrate/negate/remove immunity or just the ability to do something else (buff, control) while he can't deal damage.

So a few questions, what happens if it merges with a sword, is it able to attack with itself?
How does it move if it merges with something without self propulsion?
Can it cast spells if it merges with something that has no mouth?

>>46429252
What do you enjoy?
What do you want to play?
You seem to be missing a front line, so with paizo only the go to would be druid, cleric, or paladin, but there are other options.

>>46429785
Because I'm sick of the PLAY A WIZARD SOLVE EVERYTHING meme.

>>46430091
>So a few questions, what happens if it merges with a sword, is it able to attack with itself?
Right now, no, but I should probably add that in.

>How does it move if it merges with something without self propulsion?
>Can it cast spells if it merges with something that has no mouth?
It still has its own stats, so it can do everything a normal creature can. Presumably it grows legs/a mouth. That's why it gives a Disguise bonus to look like an inanimate object instead of being able to automatically pass as one.

>>46429252
Something melee and tanky, by the looks of it. I'd suggest Warder if DSP was allowed. Maybe Paladin or Barbarian, or possibly a melee focused alchemist.

>>46430146
Those things were not explicitly stated there so I wanted to make sure the intent was fully conveyed.

>>46430123
I enjoy Path of War, but since that isn't an option I figured I'd ask for opinions. I was going to go Magus at first but I'm playing one in another campaign so I didn't want to look like the guy who plays the same thing every campaign.

Where did the synthesist summoner go?

>>46430340
He tends to switch characters a bunch, much like I do.

>>46430231
If you don't want to go Magus my suggestion is Barb, Paladin, or CODzilla. CODzilla doesn't really look needed, so I would lean more to Paladin or Barbarian. My personal choice would be Paladin because I like them more.

>>46430231
Investigators focused on the Monstrous Physique extracts (TL;DR four-armed gargoyle natural attack build) are beast, and can do a ton of things outside of combat.

Bloodragers are really fun in terms of just murdering stuff. You can even do it in full armor or on a horse via archetype, and you get to have some Cha, although not a lot because you're probably just casting self-buffs.

Paladins are great frontliners. Also Cha.

Summoners, ditto. Mounted lancer summoners are cute.

Wizards are gods, it's not a meme, it's true, pretending it isn't true won't make it go away. All other classes exist to tank for, coupe de grace for, or save spell slots for the wizard. It's just the nature of the beast. In my games wizards are NPC-only classes who have inherited a shard of the one true God. It helps explain their imbalance without forcing me to actually deal with trying to balance spellcasting.

Let's see...hunters are a little like summoners, and while they do better ranged they're perfectly respectable melee or mounted and their animal companion is pretty much the best in the game.

Oh! Slayers are the Int-ish frontliners. Completely fucking ruinous, tons of skills, so much damage, death attacks.

It's a place deep within the underdark, untouched from the surface world. It's a place of magic regulated by something known as a keeper maybe? I don't remember. There is a vast sea vault that spans greater than any other sea above ground. There is also another vault that is In a more or less dinosaur era. Maybe these vaults are keep as a library of things past. Was wondering if some other dm's have ever used one of these settings and could go into further detail

3) Your size doesn't matter, you can't shield bash with a Tower Shield without a 3pp feat that lets you do so (Stupendous Strength).

There's a Fighter archetype about using Tower Shields, but it's garbage and probably doesn't even let you shield bash with them.

Yes but it's all very vague such as the keepers and builders. Was wondering if there were any specifics on it. Seemed like a good potential mind twisting adventure for some high levels.
http://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Vault_Builders

>>46427899
within a certain character idea they are a 99% advantage, but they also fluff the oracle and make him looks cool.
for example the lame oracle clearly is not hindered if he already plans to wear heavy armor.
you can think of it in those terms: his life sucked but he menaged to find a way to not suffer from his curse and turn it into advantage.

if the player is not satisfied with the few curses presented in the books you should invent a new one based around what the player plans to do with the class; make it a minor advantage that also inconvenience and softlock him into the role.

overall they play a small role in the balance of this very strong class, so it's not a big difference if they are removed...but they are such a good opportunity to make an interesting and charming character.

>>46430816
>ho has no equivalent)
I find the Lunar, Wood and elemental oracles pretty close to a druid, desu, although it may be best to put the beast shapes on their spell lists.

>>46431918
basically yes.

kineticist only if he uses his powers.
druid, clerics, paladins, other divinely inspired classes have moderate or minor restriction to behaviour they have to follow to avoid being punished by gods and lose their class privileges.
characters with Arcane bond can lose some of their powers if they see their bonded familiar or object be destroyed so they have to play around that.

but none of that makes the character really lose something in comparison to a level 1 commoner.

>>46431923
>>46431997

>>46433314
Grappling in 3.5 was a headache. Grappling in PF is a bit better. You could also look into Hamatula Strike to literally stick enemies to your shield.

Monsters as PCs.
I managed to get my GM to agree with me using a monster as character. Since the rules state that CR equals the effective character level, does that mean that I can advance it using monster advancement rules instead of adding class levels to it?
Since it is a high level mythic adventure, adding the first levels of any class wouldn't have much of an impact I guess, plus it would be quite troublesome to justify flavors wise.

Anyone else have experience in using monsters as PCs in a high level adventure?

>At 2nd level, a warder is trained in how best to control her enemies and how they behave in battle, urging them to throw their all against the warder's indomitable armor and unyielding shield. With a sharp blade, a clever taunt, or something that otherwise attracts her foe, the warder can direct the attention of enemies towards himself. Whenever the warder attacks a foe in combat and inflict at least 1 point of damage, as a free action she may mark them as her foe (he may even mark a foe during an attack of opportunity and may make the free action to do so, even though it is not her turn) and attempt to continue to force them to engage the warder only. The target is aware of being marked, and the mark remains for a number of rounds equal to the warder's Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). Marked targets suffer a -4 penalty to attack rolls against foes that are not the warder, and arcane spellcasters suffer

grabbing is pain and usuallly mesh badly with shield, but this warder's feature let you force enemies to attack you. other similar effects might be cavalier's duel.
The game doesn't have many ways to make a tank character viable, although improving your positioning, size and ability to do attacks of opportunity ( eventually breaking into reach weapons) might be one way to achieve it.
having high AC is usually a way to make the enemies want to hit your companions, so if yourplayer make enemies take tactically correct decisions the best you can do is increase your damage output.

Because you can do it as a free action as part of a shield bash.

>>46433336
i remember that in 3.5 you used to take the monster's base form, eventually stripped of some powers based on DM decision, make it count as it were a fixed amount of levels in a class(based on its CR), then take class levels on top of it.
for example a powerful experience and character level 10 cleric minotaur character was actually a minotaur 2/ cleric 8 " multiclass" character.

if the mosnter is too strong to count as a level 0 base form this might be how to make it usable.

>>46433454
I WAS in on it, and that's basically... the entire story already. Not to speak ill of anyone (or at least, TRYING not to, but I'm only human), but yeah, one guy hit a phenomenally higher balance point than the rest of the party, given that we were told to build for fun, not power. The DM amped the challenge up to compensate by throwing a single at us with a CR probably twice what we could handle, no adds just the one guy, and we just kind of sat around impotently missing everything we did while the gargantuan cohort punched it for the entire first session and half of the next. After it died, our healer brought it back to life and we befriended it, just to thumb our nose at the Psion. The next few sessions could basically be summed up as "the Psion and Cohort do everything mechanical, the shota Paladin alternately is molested by his magical dullahan armour, and molests his ever-growing harem of demonic DMPCs, and everyone else is summarily ignored or overruled". I dropped out pretty quick.

>>46433532
Incredible, could you go into more detail?

>>46433545
>given that we were told to build for fun, not power.
But building for power IS fun! In fact, the overwhelming majority of time spent playing Pathfinder for most people, especially people on /pfg/, will be crafting builds!

>>46433546

no play a warder

>>46433563
Hey man, you go right ahead and join up then

My games are...not like that. Is...is that how your games are? Are you okay?

>>46433563
To be fair though in an ERP game you're way more heavily focused on fluff than mechanics. Plus if there's bad ends sometimes you don't want to win

>>46433443

Yeah, figured this out as well, but pathfinder specific rules take the base form of the monster and then just add levels so assuming the monsters starts as CR 5, it can only gain 15 levels, when other players will have lvl 20 characters. For most classes the final 5 levels are the most interesting, and this campaign starts at level 15, so having a "mutilated" character would make it not worth the effort.

>>46433598
But I don't want badends! In fact, the only reason I'd join an ERP game is to spite the DM and every other player by avoiding lewd and playing it as a normal game!

>>46433563

>>46433604

>>46433545
Confirmed, all truths.

I joined up because I was desperate it was a game that would let me use PoW and the DM promised lewds would stay in PMs and I wouldn't have to do or see it if I wasn't into it. That lasted until just after the first session ended, when the DM fucked the gnoll instantly pregnant as... some sort of glow-dog?

The players were honestly pretty okay guys though, I just wasn't into their deal. Except the shota paladin, he was legit creepy.

>>46433627
if you weren't playing a warder you that wasn't your best

Anon, they asked for details, and that's what I gave. I've said more than once now that I wasn't upset by it, I simply wasn't into it and I chose to leave. I'm not interested in ERP, but I joined because the character generation rules were interesting and generous, and I was told I wouldn't have to watch or participate. When that turned out to be untrue, I simply took my leave. I have no hard feelings, why would I? I took a fair shot at something and didn't like it. That's how life works.

Since I'm working with 20 RP, what traits and abilities should I shove on this race? Should I invest 10 RP into the "Dragon" Type, which offers little but makes sense for the race itself?

Priest sounds pretty apt description for someone who receives magical powers from their god by praying.

hey DSP related question. for the elemental flux counter eldritch consumption can you use it on a fireball? cause I feel like the raw might be that you're not the "target" of the fireball since it's a aoe but at the same time it feels weird that I can absorb magic but not magic that's only incidentally burning my face.

>>46434311
I don't have my copy of the book on hand right now to look at the text of that specific maneuver, but if it specifies that you need to be the "target" of the spell then it wouldn't work against AoEs, since their target is an area.

>>46434176
Anything for martials?

So what are the thoughts on the Medic so far? I was thinking it's recovery mechanic is to strong and the sanguinist might need a cap on he blood it can hold when combined with something with fast healing or regen. The fast healing is manageable but if a troll prisoner is taken the character could be able to bank up 1000s (what ever 450 x initiation modifier is (That is pre-10, 10-19 its 450xnumber of attacks×initiation mod) of healing a day while someone is preparing spells, that can be applied in a swift action.

>>46434449
Should probably mention I made some changes to the medic this morning. They've got a good Will save now and I toned down Cura Te Ipsum to a scaling bonus to REF and WILL.

They've also got a new ability:

>Improved Treatment (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, when the medic treats deadly wounds, the creature she treats recovers hit points and ability score damage as if it had rested for a full day. At 6th level, when the medic treats a creature’s deadly wounds it recover hit points as if it had rested for a full day with long term care. At 11th level, when the medic treat deadly wounds, the creature recovers hit point and ability damage as if it had rested for 3 days.

>>46434153

>Dragon - 10 RP
>Advanced ability scores - 4 RP
>Natural Armor (2) - 3 RP

That's 17 RP for type, +2 natural armor and some good ability scores. That Dragon type is killing you, though you could maybe save 4 RP by replacing Advanced with +2 Strength +2 Intelligence/Charisma -2 Dexterity.

Breath weapon? Forget about it, that won't scale well and will end up being kinda silly. Claws and tail could work.

Or, you could just tweak the existing Lizardfolk race (only 8 RP) and make the character dragon-blooded, rather than straight up dragon.

>>46434463
That's pretty funny desu. Plus there's some spells in Book of Shadows that might be good for it.

Cost of the lock for mundane stuff.

Next up are intelligent magic items, give them some powers to defend the bearer against magical enemies of their chastity (dimension door, summons etc). Costs depends on the abilities, just use the formulas.

Next up is artifacts, for which there is little guide for pricing. I'd say an immune to all but disjunction and wish chastity belt should cost >50K, if it has to be wish immune I'd say >100k.

>>46434866
It was originally just an archetype you had to take to have access to totem powers... but since it didn't trade anything, there was no reason for every barbarian in existence not to have it.

Then in UC, someone slipped in the thing about not being able to use multiple totems "unless you have the totem warrior," presumably because they too didn't see the point of it being an archetype as it was.

But then the Higher Powers freaked out over, I dunno, Beast/Dragon being 2strong4u? And errata'd it to lock it back into its original nothing position.

Because you'd be forcing her/him to wear the belt, since NPCs don't have choices or agency, and if you were to force her/him to change her gender by equipping a cursed belt to her/him that would be invalidating their life choice and making them conform to your heteronormative cis-whatever ideals.

Would they be able to use the remainder of their Triage uses in the immediate aftermath of an Encounter? Or would the wounds already be too "set" for that to work?

How does one become a filthy rich person in pathfinder? Is there some loophole(s) that I can use to my advantage?

Question for any GMs that lurk these generals:
Care to share details on what background music you use?
I'm gonna run my first ever campaign this weekend, and I'm in dire need of music. I feel like it adds a LOT to the games I've been playing, and I already have all the tracks my own GM uses. His library lacks the kind of songs I need, however, as our games are going to be thematically very different. His campaign is a chill village-builder thing where the most exciting thing so far has been a goblin raid, whereas I intend to go full schlocky action movie with mine.
So, please recommend some OSTs, artists, albums, what-have-you. I'd really appreciate it!

>>46435606
>There would be no reason to complain or drag everyone else into your problems, and make yourself the center of attention.

It's deeper than that, and touches on some of the feelings every robot or NEET feels.

It's not *fair* if they can magically wish their problems away, because to the mind of a robot or SJW being able to magically solve your problems means all the suffering, all the struggle, and all of the discrimination was all for nothing.

I mean, imagine being a huge fucking loser your whole life. Years of loneliness turns to decades, you watch pretty girls go with men who "don't deserve them", you get stuck into a job you absolutely despise. So you start complaining about it, you start bitching and moaning about problems you could probably solve, but progress does not come without pain and, to you, your life has been nothing but pain so far. So you continue to tap away at your problems, clicking with like-minded people and forming your own little tribes built around how unfair your life is.

And then it's gone. All of it. You're attractive and have six-figure job offers rolling in. This is not the world these people want, because it has and always been the mythical city on the hills, something to admire but never catch, like a greyhound chasing the mechanical rabbit. Without whining about your life, what *are* you? Give the SJW what they want and they'll ask for more because the SJW without a need for justice is yet another beta-cuck loser who doesn't know how to work, doesn't know how to socialize, and doesn't know how to improve. Like the robot that becomes attractive and successful, they'll return to old habits because they've made being broken their defining characteristic.

>>46435680
Video game soundtracks, like the Final Fantasy, Valkyrie Profile, or Assassin's Creed series. I'll probably use 0 AD and Civilization tracks in my next game.

Anime OSTs, like Claymore.

Bloodborne for bosses.

1) Be a wizard
2) Ask your DM if you are using the Downtime system, and plant gardens.

I'd pay actual money to join a campaign where the goal is to start a company and expand business while becoming filthy rich doing so.

Or become minor nobility and work yourself up the hierarchy while expanding your manor and the surrounding farmlands, or push into new industries like textiles or glassmaking.

I just want a story where there isn't a world/kingdom-ending threat, and the way to wealth isn't paved with the blood of a billion goblins.

Are there any items to temporarily grant dancing/animated properties to a weapon?

The big problem with Paizo's agenda is that they're misrepresenting what people would actually do. Every single time Fraisier gets her grubby mitts on a module or AP, there has to be someone "struggling" with their situation. It's like clockwork.

I wouldn't have an issue with it given I'm part of the LGBT community myself, but for a couple glaring problems:

1. The writing for these characters is often shallow, as they're inserted as set pieces rather than important characters. These characters are blatantly just inserted to pander to the LGBT crowd, which hurts their design as a whole. Prime example being the Lesbian/Trans couple in Wrath of the Righteous. That wasn't a thing that needed to be there. Why was it? Lesbians I could get behind, but why put together a huge elaborate backstory that players will often neither like nor care about because of the contrivance?

2. The writing for the characters in question is atrocious, because said characters are constantly holding the idiot ball. Say someone doesn't want to be a man anymore - they want tits and to get rid of their junk. Sure, that's reasonable. I did a little bit of checking and it should only be a level 2 spell for an an instantaneous "swap gender" effect. meaning, even if you're not a spellcaster that can do it yourself after researching the spell or buying it from someone, you can save up 500 gold and have it cast for you by the local wizard. I did the math; even a peasant should be able to afford that after two or three years of saving, assuming they're not spending extra stuff. Adventurers? Please. Adventurers regularly spend thousands of gold to get a measly +1 boost to their weapon. and yet all the characters that come up in this are adventurers or related to adventurers. The characters just aren't believable.

If magic was a thing I could learn from a book? I would become a transmuter wizard specifically for this shit. Fringe benefits aside (like being tier 1), that's not that hard to do

>>46434449
I'm super hyped to play mine. The recovery is nice, but THP and a bonus to one Fort save doesn't really strike me as particularly ridiculous, especially since it's one of the few ways to actually "heal" a party in combat that isn't total garbage.

>>46434489
Aww, but I kind of liked not needing a healer's kit. Don't suppose you'd be willing to tack that back on to Improved Treatment? I like the new ability regardless, though.

>>46433966
I'd look forward to Armor Trick because Weapon Trick was such a nice thing, but I'm actually not going to spend feats on using my fucking armor and can't imagine who would.

>>46435988
I've been playing Black Desert all this last couple weeks, and the single most enjoyable thing in that game is probably the fact that i can load up a wagon and then take it to another country where I can offload my goods at a marked up price.

It'd be slightly boring in a tabletop format, but that's easily solved by political intrigue, a war affecting your trade routes, random encounters on the road, the merchants guild breathing down your collective neck, and so on and so forth. I'd frankly love a campaign like this, but everybody instead just seems to go for the classic "And then our lives were threatened and the kingdom was maybe saved as a result" thing.

>>46436003
Well didn't the trans dude in WotR get a magic sex change elixir after selling orc paladin's sword?

>Actually growing your own food

Top Kek, >>46435988 has the right idea; buy a huge amount of land, build a great manor on top of it, rent the good lands out for farming, plant a ton of mulberry trees and start a silk industry.

Or grow cotton, or raise insects that when dried produce a brilliant red dye, or even go coastal and make Royal Purple.

The only thing more comfy than Harvest Moon is enjoying a glass of wine while out on the porch, discussing local politics while watching the silk money roll in.

Hidden Blade / Eldritch Scoundrel Rogue who took the Bladecaster prestige class.

>>46435168
That actually sounds amazing. Most of the complaints I hear about WotR are trumpets and mythic design not being balanced anyways.

I have a rules question guys, me and my friends are trying to find out if DSP's Warder archetypes the fiendbound marauder and ordained defender stack. I've never used PoW before.

>>46436081

Imagine hunting down a dragon not because he's a threat to the kingdom, but because he's a threat to your caravans, and that hoard will come in handy for a payment on mining that platinum deposit in the nearby hills.

>>46436191
They should stack. Neither archetype appears to replace anything the other does.

>>46436199
Another good one is doing a grave robbery for some emergency funds - you need them because the exploration boat your company put together was destroyed by a kraken on the open ocean. As such, if you ever want to get to that unknown continent over yonder, you nee to put together another boat, pay extra for sailors that don't believe in bad luck, and then go out to sea with your ship to ward off the inevitable sea monster attacks.

Your reward? Solitary claim for your company to the trade routes leading to another continent. and by the time you finally get home, you can watch the money roll in. Even if there aren't natives for you to trade with, you can start farming and hunting and bringing home the "exotic" things you find.

Did anything decent come out of Inner Seas Faiths, Ultimate Intrigue, or the Armormaster's Handbook?

>>46435681
No bully! Be excellent!

>>46436539
Vigilante and about 2/3 of its archetypes are further additions to the T3-T4 stable.

The other T3 and T4 classes got some good-to-meh archetypes of their own.

Inner Sea Faiths was mostly setting lore, and Armor Master's still isn't out holy shit stop asking.

>>46435511
You can play male, they just tend to have more lethal Bad Ends

>>46433841
Fair enough, and sorry if things went that way. It was my fault, since I failed to explain that ERP can happen in the open, but if someone had a No Way No How list I'd keep that out of sight, like another player who hates futa so the futa player gets PM stuff.

>>46433545
Planned that dragon long before any of you were involved, because one of my players that had only just run off to RL (and is now back sort-of), has a real thing for dragons. Punching it down was basically the opposite of how I expected that to go.

Sorry that the established player had more NPC stuff going on than the people that had just joined.

What's the Brute an archetype to?

>>46436606
Wahaha~ Spread the love!

>>46433966

Advanced armor training, something that will make shields a good idea, maybe some nice things in the mastery feats and tricks, although since the weapon tricks weren't that great (durr hurr let's force TWF characters to invest in fucking VITAL STRIKE to be able to double attack as a standard, durr) my hopes are not high.

Spellscribed armor might be cool, although hopefully this remains purely a nice things for martials book. One of the things I LIKED about the WMH was that it didn't include shit for casters for no reason like the tactics toolboxes did.

>>46436632
Yeah, and he's a fucking wizard who already said he wouldn't be back for a couple weeks. Probably an insider working at Paizo, but who fucking knows? No point shouting into the wind, he'll arrive precisely when he means to.

>>46435681
The curse part isn't that it switches your gender, it's that it switches your gender exactly once, gets stuck, and won't change you back if you manage to get it off and then put it on again.

>>46436655
Brute's a Vigilante archetype, probably the worst except maybe not because there's always the firearms guy to laugh at.

But that's it. As the SJWs say, you should be HAPPY to have your gender changed to from the one you were born as. Before, you were an oppressive cis-shitlord. Now you're a diverse, beautiful snowflake.

>>46436724

I assume this is why the Elixir of Sex Shift was implemented, to better draw the line between "THIS is an item that a trans individual would use to permanently and perfectly change to the gender they identify as and doesn't try to trick someone into using it" and the girdle's "THIS is a curse that will 90% of the time be trapping people in a form they are not comfortable in."
