Our monk has been taking massive advantage of the new Unchained "monks have proficiency in all monk weapons" rule, since he's been pulling out four or five different weapons for any given scenario, alongside his unarmed strikes. Can't say I'm complaining, though, he's making it work.

What's a definite inclusion at your tables?

New DM here, pretty new to the game and using Roll20. Anyone have any tips for making maps?

How much planning ahead is too much? How many screens should I have made ahead of time? Any suggestions for a first campaign? Should I have more of a focus on roleplaying, or combat?

Players are also new, if that makes a difference.

Repostan from old thread

Does DSP ever plan on doing some Initiating or Psionic archetypes for the ACG classes? If so, is there a current playtest?

I ask this because, if not, I plan on having some fun with homebrew and would like some thematic idea for Hunters

Also, what Initiating Modifier would you give to a Brawler archetype specialized around remembering the basics of CQC and being pretty good

We're only 6th level right now (Jade Regent, finishing up Ravenscreag (I think is the spelling) on Tuesday) so he doesn't have that yet, but I am totally suggesting that to him.

I'm wanting to make a duelist/fencer type of guy that uses shield gauntlet style for disarms.

A great discovery I made is that the combat trick for Broken Wing Gambit lets YOU make the AoO as well, turning it pretty much into a classless Come And Get Me that isn't quite as good as long as you have the stamina.

>How would you stat/fluff Razor Wires, /pfg/?

Whips that do bleed damage and can grapple.

No really, unless you go full weeb and say your strings can suspend people in midair or control them like puppets, they're no different from a lashing weapon.

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/occult-adventures/occult-classes/medium/archetypes/paizo-llc---medium-archetypes/kami-medium-medium-archetype

Is there anything feat-wise for shields to allow you to deflect magical effects?

Deflecting Shield does nothing vs magic attacks and the tower shield full cover expressly doesn't work on magic (For some reason)

Taking Weapon trick (One-Handed) can help with that. A gauntlet doesn't occupy your hands, and with the right feat investments you can tack a disarm onto your standard action attacks.

>Anyone have any tips for making maps?

Grab a drawing software and draw them. The grid provided is 4200x4200 (60 tiles on roll20) at 70 pixels wide each. Fits each tile well enough.

I use paint tool sai and just draw the black and white maps of things, maybe colour them. Don't put too much effort in, though. Nobody cares about how well you draw the food on the table.

>How much planning ahead is too much?

Just plan the framework

> How many screens should I have made ahead of time?

Prepare entire dungeons at a time, but not much else because players start fights everywhere

>Any suggestions for a first campaign?

Your qt elf employer has paid you to get some exotic ingredients for some sort of spell

>Should I have more of a focus on roleplaying, or combat?

Half half, especially with new players.

>>47830902

Oh? That would also be acceptable.

>>47830882
Ray Shield lets you deflect ray attacks (1 per round), and the spell affects your shield instead of you. The stamina trick lets your shield be safe though, so you can bounce a disintegrate and your shield be right as rain. (And the one for Missile Shield lets you do it with a buckler.)

Alternatively, Smash From The Air using a shield to bash would do it.

>>47830954
He could also be referring to Spellcut, which lets you use your BAB in place of your save vs a spell which is either a reflex save, or targets only you.

>Fun combat styles. What fun weapon combos and styles would you want to use, given enough support for them?
Honestly? I just want a dude that can use a gun decently. the gunslinger is a hot mess and the only reason to take it on a gunslinger build is for Quick Clear, which shouldn't even be necessary because misfire is ridiculous and stupid.

To be honest, though, rifles and pepperbox rifles are actually extremely useful, even powerful weapons that are competitive with longbows; they're just prohibitively costly both in terms of the item itself and the ammunition it uses (after paying 7000 gold for the rifle, it seems kinda dickish to charge 15 gold per shot).

Longbow and Pepperbox Rifle are actually interesting to weigh against one another.
Longbow:
>Cheap enough for a first level character to own right from the get-go
>Can get strength enhancement
>No reload time
>Multiarrow shenanigans
>For the cost of a few extra hundred gold or 1000 gold for an enchantment, get your strength bonus to damage
>Freely available ammo wherever, even in modern times that's also very inexpensive.

Pepperbox rifle:
>Prohibitively costly weapon and ammo (fixed by "Guns Everywhere")
>Misfire chance
>Hits touch AC out to 400 feet, which is awesome for dragonlaying
>reload is only a single move action (or free action with a feat) once every four shots, which is excellent for a load weapon.
>If using Commonplace Guns, is an excellent weapon for a warrior-type's ranged option, as it's martial weapon and touch attack hits are great if you don't want to invest. Guns everywhere means even the wizard can use one, and it's relatively purchasable now.
>Eldritch Archer Magus can actually pick one up for free RAW at level 1 due to arcane bond.

Guns just feel more satisfying overall to me, and i wish they got the sort of benefits that they're due. Guns Everywhere definitely alleviates that particular problem, though the misfire rules are still a shitshow.

I've been using a bunch of the preset stuff on Roll20. Does that work just as well?

When is Pathfinder 2.0 coming out? I am so goddamn sick of this game already, I now completely understand why /tg/ hates 3.5. I played it for years with my AD&D-playing dad who switched to 3.5 cause he liked the feats and character building but he played normal characters. Then I met these guys who can't play a fucking regular character. I'd say they were sick of the cliches but they literally havent even tried the cliches. Reading about it on the internet does not mean you've experienced it. No one wants to play a barbarian or ranger or even a plain fucking wizard anymore. They cannot play ANYTHING from a splatbook. Before I twisted their arms they wouldn't even play a core RACE for fuck's sake, it had to be a fucking eldarin or whatever the shit, just play a goddamn elf, orc, dwarf, human, gnome, is that not enough fucking choices for you?

I am so sick of these mongoloids and I am taking joy in building OP encounters to completely fuck their asses. Also these fucktards forgot to include a rogue in their party so guess what? traps galore in the first dungeon, including some truly mean shit that drops you right into a motherfucking gelatinous cube, hope you passed your DC 20 reflex save bitch.

I don't hate Pathfinder but holy HELL do I hate the players. These autistic shitbags do this in other systems as well, it's never anything normal, its always "can I plz have dis homebroooo?" and the answer is no, fucking no, no every time. I literally don't evne care if Core is the most broken part, at least it resembles an actual normal fantasy game. I'd rather play a fighter in the same party as a cleric and druid, than play some 3rd party freakshow shit and have a party that literally does not even make sense.

>>47830995
>>Disarm only works on weapons
What the fuck is it supposed to do, genius?

>>47831034
actually for pepperbox rifle you have to manually reload each barrel, so its four move actions.

>>47830954
>>47830988

Hmm...interesting. Pity that spellcut and Smash from the Air both require Weapon Training. My Warder won't be able to get them.

Ray shield looks pretty good though. Thanks. A Magic Mithril Tower Shield would be pretty hard to destroy.

How do I manage to keep everyone happy at the table when it comes to encounters, /pfg/? My group right now is 4 girls and 2 guys, and while I hate to stereotype, the guys seem like they kinda just want to murderhobo their way through my world, while the girls (including me) are generally more interested in worldbuilding and roleplay. It's gotten to the point where every time they enter an encounter, they argue for several minutes over whether they're going to fight the thing or try to keep it as a pet. It slows things down a ton and creates tension at the table-- the girls insist we fight things too much, and the guys maintain we aren't in combat enough.

Even though I'm more inclined to agree with my own gender, I know my job as a GM is to make sure everyone's having a good time. What do I do when my players clearly have a very dichotomous idea of what that necessitates?

>>47831057

> inb4 le "its fantasy so ABANDON ALL LOGIC BECAUSE ITS FANTASY LOL PHYSICS APPLYING IS SO RETARDED LOLOLOL"

I fucking hate this meme so much and I wish everyone who propogates it a LONG slow death from cancer. I seriously hope you get hit by a goddamn truck and experience physics first hand. You are the reason fantasy is considered a complete joke because you handwave everything as "lol its fantasy it doesn't have to make sense BECAUSE IM A SUPERHERO" you're not a superhero you fucking cunt, you can do certain things a superhero can do because the shitty rules enable you. In reality your virgin nerd ass would break if you fell 10 feet, that doesn't mean a nat 20 lets you seduce a straight orc guard into homo buttsex, I am so sick of the lolrandumb shit fantasy has become, I just want to enjoy the genre for what it was again, and games like Pathfinder have completely ruined that.

Goddamn it it feels so good to let out the rage that has been building for years. I am goin to enjoy slaughtering these shitty special snowflake PCs like nothing else. I am going to describe their final gasps for breath as blood fills their lungs and they beg their gods for mercy but die miserably anyway, and while their friend is trying to comfort them goodbye a kobold rogue sneaks up and stabs them to death so that their friend's last vision is watching his other friend dying. Or having the only female player in the group reduced to 0 hp and raped violently and as she is orgasming from the rape her throat is cut open so she experiences pleasure and ultimate agony at the same time.

Yeah you dun fucked up, anon. Why did you let girls join your group? Looking to get your dick wet with some sub-prime pussy? Don't sell yourself short, man, you can do far better without having your game ruined by the weaker sex.

My suggestion is, kick the girls out, and tell the guys to deal with the RP encounters or instakill their characters. Give them a save but have them die instantly on anything but a nat 20. That way they learn they can't just kill everything like a bunch of retards.

I understand what you're saying but you seem very angry, anon.

If you're looking for a more traditional experience you should try just playing vanilla D&D. Pathfinder tends to specifically attract people who liked the mechanics of D&D but want to apply them to much more outlandish character concepts. By playing this system in the first place, you're necessarily going to attract those kinds of people. It's kind of like hosting a deep-frying convention and then being upset that fat people show up.

I don't give a shit if you dont care. Your game is dying, you pricks, and it's because you have destroyed fantasy genre with this superhero deity bullshit.

Fantasy has literally gone from good old days fafhrd and grey mouser and LOTR shit, to this shit where you are expected to kill Orcus as a campaign plot in 4e at high level, where you are supposed to wrestle a dragon because "LOL NAT 20" and everyone plays a freakazoid race that gets all bonuses and no penalties because racial penalties are racist, and if your character dies you cry over your special snowflake shit. I am so sick of people building their characters to autistic bonuses, some faggot stacked dodge bonuses to get an AC of fucking 23 at 1st level, I had the entire dungeon full of Sorcerers with magic missile just to spite the fucking cunt. He almost died but I couldn't quite kill him because magic missile does fuck all damage. Next time I'll use color spray and just cheat on initiative. I really don't give a fuck anymore, these fuck heads are going down.

And then I will move on to GM other pathfinder gmes and slaughter parties one by one. I will kill as many Pathfinder characters as possible before I die. Gaming is all that matters to me in life and this shitty ass system has made my gaming days a living hell.

You fucking balance them out and if they keep whining you tell them to grow the fuck up.

Also if the girls are such excellent players why are they on their goddamn periods over the combat? Just run combat faster like a competent GM (though you're a woman so that's already asking too much) and as a result combat won't drag on so long. That's probably what they are complaining about.

If you can't run a normal level 6 pathfinder encounter in under 20 minutes you are not worth it as a GM.

Here are some tips:

1) Stop letting people drag on on their turns

2) Stop giving a fuck which monster has how much HP, dont bother tracking orc 1, orc 2, etc. If they whine about how much HP it has tell them to go fuck themselves because of hit dice

3) ONE initiative per DM. None of this rolling separate initiative for each monster bullshit. We had a DM like that once and we basically ended up bitching about him constantly and "accidentally" sending him the chat record so that he'd see what a piece of shit he was. He quit soon after.

3) Actually make competent encounters.

4) Run challenging encounters so the PCs are too BTFO to fight again right away.

5) Make more interaction encounters. Roleplay random people they meet on the road, I dunno. THat's what I used to do but I also roleplayed setting up camp and hunting for food to save on rations which /tg/ thinks is retarded because they can't comprehend anything that isn't "muh constant epik storyy :^)" because they are autistic retards with 80HD.

Anyway that ought to help make things better but you'll probably ignore my advice because you expect some goddamn genius solution to a problem that doesn't have one. My idea: if there's only 2 guys, kick them out and have an all-girl group and see if you can get your periods to sync up. Majority rules, anyway. Unless you're planning on fucking one of them I don't see any point in keeping them around when they are disrupting the preferred playstyle of the majority.

You can totally choose not to allow Aasimar they're an 'advanced' race, they're supposed to be more powerful than humans and elves and such

>>47831243

Did you not even read my fucking post? I *DO* like pathfinder. What I don't like are these chuckling pieces of shit who have hijacked a great system and turned it into lolrandumb bullshit by treating the extra races like main course instead of spice like they are supposed to be. This isn't the fucking Star Wars RPG, it's actually nice when more than one member of hte party is the same race so I can justify them being from the same fucking place so the cmapaign premise actually makes sense, not so we have to have a 3 hour session 0 where I have to act like King Solomon negotiating links between characters that don't compromise their precious special snowflake backstories that no one gives a FUCK about.

>>47831258
>>47831258

All of this shit happens and you just proved that you don't play Pathfinder at all. Stop lying on the internet, i know its the only way you can get your limp dick stiff enough to fuck your 400 pound girlfriend but it pisses everyone else off so stop it.

>>47831353

>>47831353

because you make the world's most obnoxious and overpowered 1st level characters because you know every single fucking detail about this system and, more importantly, you know how to abuse it extremely well

>>47831321
Yeah, it's almost wholly a tax, but I can accept it because things like Smash From The Air are neat as fuck.

>>47831260

Yeah and 5e is total shit hugbox garbage.

>>47831266

So is Fantasy Craft. Do not even pretend that waste of paper is worth playing. Pathfinder is infinitely better but it's been ruined by fucking morons who cannot play a core class.

This is why my next campaign will be core-races only, core classes only. I am absolutely sick of this horseshit freakshow.

>>47831370
So tell your players that you don't want to use advanced race point level races

There you're done.

Good for you. And you brought this here to whine and bitch to us because why?

>>47831297

LOL kill yourself, I am the only decent GM in my group, the rest of them fucking suck balls at GMing, they can't describe for shit, their plots and adventure ideas are shit, and their adventures are so vague that no one has any idea what to do and then they whine when we don't do anything based on the zero information given to us. They love my fucking GMing but I've fucking had it with fellating their shit, I am going all out to kill them in the most graphic way possible.

Also

> can't write a decent story to save his life

The fact that you think this is part of GMing just proves that you do not even understand the most basic concepts of it, you are like a toddler trying to discuss politics, please leave. Also the GM can't cheat so get that notion the FUCK out of your head, capische?

>>47831370

it's not. its a shitty system that was broken on day one
>What I don't like are these chuckling pieces of shit who have hijacked a great system and turned it into lolrandumb bullshit by treating the extra races like main course instead of spice like they are supposed to be.
Everyone I've met prefers humans because they're easier to roleplay and they are easily the most powerful race in the game.
If people want to paly the non core races, its their own fault for wanting to play the poorly supported and much weaker side races

>>47831395
>This is why my next campaign will be core-races only, core classes only. I am absolutely sick of this horseshit freakshow.
>somehow being an inquisitor makes me the freakshow

I really don't understand, human inquisitor seems fairly normal.

>>47831392

Yeah. Hence why it's on the maybe. I'm a warder so I DO have some actual counters that will serve until I can spare feats for that.

Are there any must-have feats for a sword and board warder that you know of?

>>47831332
This is really good advice minus the unnecessary sexism

I actually didn't know I wasn't supposed to roll separate initiatives for different enemies so I will definitely keep that in mind, along with the other stuff. Thanks.

In return I will offer you some advice: Try not to hate women so much. It just makes you sad and bitter when you could be making friends of both sexes that have interests in common with you.

>>47831395
Really, nobody here cares, dude. what you play is your own business, but this general just does not give a fuck about your complaints.

If you were asking for suggestions instead of just whining like a bitch, we'd help you. But we aren't here for your venting and we don't like you, so shove off.

>>47831395
Core classes are the least balanced classes in the game.

>>47831406

Yeah see that didn't happen when I played, and even if it does I prefer it to the fucking freakshow of people playing 9 different classe of magic types that I didn't evne want to exist in my world.

Your next campaign has a minimum of two competing factions, as well as a neutral faction.

What do they stand for? What are they fighting over? How do you make each faction appealing to the players while keeping them unique?

Because you fuck cocks need to stop this shit too. Stop RUINING this game because Paizo sees it and deepthroats your cocks even more to the point that we have literal Russian soldiers with Mosins in a fucking HIGH FANTASY game that is full of retarded-ass races that make no goddamn sense and have no good reason to exist.

I am so fucking sick of these half-mongrelfolk-half-elemental-half-dragon genasi wankers with three levels in Inquisitor and four levels in Witch for some stacking bonus that gives you a +40 to climb up someones asshole. This was the only edition of D&D I ever enjoyed except AD&D and you pricks ruined it with your pro-diversity bullshit.

I just cant do this anymore. I have to GM for these fucks tomorrow morning and I can't fucking do it. I just slammed my fist into my desk twenty times and my hand hurts like hell now because I am so pissed at these fuckers ruining my favorite RPG for me.

>>47831539
Have you ever considered just

not allowing your players to access literally everything?

Fantasy Craft may be ded-game, lack support and be quite fucked up in the magic and monster-creation-system departments, but it's a lot better than CRB-Only Pathfinder.

But you already knew that, didn't you.

>>47831539
So... Don't play with them. The DM is just another player at the table, and if you're not having fun, then it's a waste of time.

Other people (myself included) quite like some of the elements you're complaining about. For playing "core only" concepts though, my game of choice is 4e, because its fighter/mage/thief/cleric aren't unbalanced as all hell.

>>47831548

>>47831445

It does and it did. But keep pretending your shitty Book of Nine Swords rip-offs do anything for the game balance.

>>47831442

That's not the point. That shit we can suspend belief for because of airplanes and shit. I'm talking a 5'4" human wrestling a dragon just because he has a high base attack, then pathfinder players LITERLALY WHINING THAT THEY CANNOT DO SOMETHING THAT MAKES ZERO GODDAMN SENSE WITH NO EXPLANATION OR MAGICAL ASSISTANCE.

>>47831539
Hey, jackass. Take a moment to remove your cock from the sheep you're fucking and consider this: we have confirmation that Price and Frasier watch these threads and fucking hate us. They were on a Private Sanctuary broadcast and spent a good five minutes talking about how Price accidentally cut Crystal's intersex changelings and now Price is annoyed that people on 4chan were lauding her for it. Exact comment was, "I don't want their fandom."

You may now return to fucking your sheep.

>>47831478
I laugh at anyone who thinks core is balanced.

I've made classes that dole out negative levels and instakill weaker foes in droves, and they're STILL weaker than wizards and druids.

Ban core, replace with psionics and TOB master race reporting in.

>>47831554
Absolutely, yeah.

In my mind the neutral faction would have been the innocent townsfolk being terrorized by the constant fighting of the other factions, but whatever works is fine. I'm just looking for ideas.

>>47831500

The competing factions are the Church (generic fantasy corrupt church types who protect the safe, walled cities) and the Brotherhood (a good-willed but violent cult of The Great Old Ones who support the downtrodden public)

And the neutral faction is 'Heaven', another Great Old One who is the patron deity of the Church, with its own sinister motives.

These aren't their real names but I haven't thought of it.

>>47831486
I've tried, dude. I feel like he's just spent so much time playing ttrpgs that absurd minmaxing is the only way he can have fun anymore. Me and all of my players are new enough to the system that we're still having a ton of fun playing a fairly traditional adventure, and I feel like inviting this one guy would completely change that dynamic, probably for the worse. That's the real reason I don't want to invite him.

Fuck, Fantasy Craft is great and poorly loved, why did you have to shit on it?
What did it do to you?

>>47831500
Current one has like, 12 competing factions.

The city the players are in has the following:
>The Royal Parliament
Formed after the bright and glorious revolution 10 years ago. They are a product of the deal made between the revolution and nobility to ensure the nobility's continued but neutered existence. They also control the central bank and generally do much of the governance.
>The Anchekk Family
Leaders of the largest faction among the remaining nobility, the ones to propose and draft the deal. They now live as non landed nobility with a strange system of lineage entitled properties and permissions.
>The Corvus Family
The second largest faction among the nobility. They took to the deal, but are planning on double crossing the parliament and reestablishing rule.
>Helek's Devoted
The city has a giant bluff that is religiously significant. There are massive amount of holy men who work in and around this structure and maintain it. They provided aid during the revolution and actively spoke out against the fighting. They are a pacifist organization.
>The Wickworker's Union
A sort of superunion made up of half a dozen industry's workers that formed during the revolution that has now evolved into essentially a cartel.

I could explain further.

>>47831548

ARe you kidding me? I can't control it, these fuckers look up PDFs I don't even have and send me 8 paragraph emails about their shitty-ass characters, I literally don't give a fuck I just want to kill them now, and I am going to tuckers-kobolds those little fuckers to hell.

>>47831617
>I can't control it
A Pathfinder game isn't about control, it's about trust, respect, and consensus. If you don't have those, you don't have anything.

If you can't talk to your players and lay out your own expectations and what you're comfortable DMing for, we can't help you. If they refuse to accept that you're uncomfortable DMing for certain concepts or rulesets, then that's on them, and you should walk. That's the nuclear option, but it's the one that sends a very solid message.

>>47831579
>abandoned by females

>you are here for my venting
No, we're not. We're not your players, and if you can't talk to them like a reasonable person, that's on you.

My setting has a pre-treatise era that is almost exactly this.

What later becomes the Mercenary's Guild is trying to seize control of inter-city trade from what coalesces into the Trader's Guild, with what becomes the Merchant's Guild is simply the individual banks in each major capital, city, and town.

It's all about money, of course, because about 40 years prior, the Elven War ended with the knife-ears (or, what's left of them) holed up in one tiny, surrounded region, with the wealth of the continent free to be split between the remaining kingdoms, who were absolutely bankrupt because 500 years of war is expensive.

Power Attack, Deadly Aim, Combat Expertise, and all the other feats that are toggleable tradeoffs should just be options anyone can do. Heighten Spell should be available to casters as a basic option, not as a metamagic, and this also handily stops that damn Spell Perfection Heighten thing for free DC bonuses.

All of the Improved Combat Maneuver feats should be in two feats, a finesse like one, and a strength based one.

Weapon Finesse should be available to finesseable weapons at no feat cost, and you should be able to use a finessable 1h or 2h as a two-handed weapon to gain 1.5x Dex to damage.

Skill Focus and Signature Skill should be rolled into one, because they're not really worth it individually.

The various +2/+2 to two skill feats need to just be removed entirely. They are never worth it.

Proficiency feats need to give proficiency in the entire category. Exotic Prof should give proficiency in at least three exotic weapons, or your Int bonus, whichever is higher.

Vital Strike, TWF, shield feats, a lot of the Paizo weapon styles are all crap and need to be consolidated. Mythic Vital Strike and several other mythic mundane feats, and honestly material in general, should be opened up for mundanes.

There. There's a small fraction of a start.

How is this a problem? All the REEEEing about powergamers is bizarre, tabletop RPGs may be the only games where being good at them is widely considered a bad thing.

Well for one thing the Plasma Blade is shit.
Half Electrical, Half Fire so someone with say, resist 5 to both is immune to the thing already.

It eats charges like a motherfucker, it's incredibly expensive, extremely vulnerable to those spells that just discharge you, and it's a touch attack, which while useful for accuracy, kinda gets fucked damagewise (this is particularly troubling given the split)

Alright! I'll suggest the animal blood alternative and see how it goes. Thanks for the help.

So, new player here, in Gestalt would Fighter 5 (Weapon Training for Firearms) / Gunslinger 15 gestalted with Monk 20 (Sohei) allow you to flurry firearms?

>>47832139
I say this, I still say this. A core mechanic of fighters should be able to cascade damage and instakill weaklings.

In fact, cascading damage and instakilling weaklings in a single blow should be a core rule, but fighters turn it into an art form.

>>47832273
Here's a better one for you.
Grammaton Cryptic gets gun-kata, and at 10th can melee with them.

Whenever he hits in melee with the gun, he gets to ALSO fire the gun for an extra attack without provoking.

>>47832246
1 charge / min.
Psychic can use Psychic battery for charge. And you're only holding it for dramatic effect.

>>47832273

Probably not, and why not just do a useful gestalt like the Barbarian one, or yanno, a Wizard...

>>47832209
Heighten Spell shouldn't be a feat, it should just be a basic option, because it actually removes cheese options available if it's a feat.

>>47832182
Mythic Vital Strike is one option to allow people to get mobility as a non-DSP martial. The other good way I've seen it done is to just allow people to move up to half their speed before, between, or after attacks, split as they want so long as it doesn't go over.

>Swift action for 1 charge every round BECAUSE IT DRAINS AT THE END OF THE ROUND EVEN IF YOU'D USED A LEVEL 10 SPELL TO FULLY LOAD THE THING

It isn't very good.

any suggestions for missions on a rogue only game? I only have 2 players, and they both made neutral aligned rogues. Was thinking maybe Firefly style, maybe Oceans Eleven style, or maybe assassination shit. if someone has experience with a rogue heavy game, input would be appreciated.

semi related, any suggestions on houseruling Improved Unarmed Strike to be less shit/more interesting? One player took it to get deflect arrows or whatever, but I just feel shitty when it comes to blatant useless feat taxes.

>>47832347

Merge Improved Unarmed Strike with Greater Unarmed Strike from DSP.

>>47832337
> Any charges unused at the end of the round are lost, and any charges used by the device that round that aren't provided by you must come from the device's own power reserves.

But that one charge is ALREADY USED. You used level 1 spell and it turn on Plasma Blade for 1 minute. It's isn't even hard to understand.

>>47832385
The charge disappeared.
It's fine if you're using it to fire a pistol, but the blade loses it at the end of the round. No different than if the tech-drain spell hit it.

Sputters right out.

>>47832388
Is this like some kind of sailor moon thing, where nobody asks why the maid is suddenly covered in face studs and looks like she reads her DPS on raid meters for a living?

>>47832400
The charge got used once you turned on the plasma blade, anon.

Based on the bluff modifiers, rogues that spec into this talent are very good at dressing up and pretending to be harmless maids.

How and why they practiced this is a matter for the player to decide.

>>47832400
Are you dense or just blind? It can't disappear if it already used. Only unused charge disappear.

> Any charges unused at the end of the round are lost

The charge is used as soon as you activated the blade.

Other two PCs, my only other teammates, are a rogue (hidden blade) and an alchemist (polymath/vivisectionist). Both are non-heritage tiefling catfolk who can Pass for Catfolk, extrapolated variant of Pass for Human.

>That being said, the classes are, mechanically, all-new and entirely different. A great example is that "psionic focus" is a class ability for these classes, rather than an innate option for all psychic spellcasters. Another great example is that just about every spell in this book is available to at least one other class. (The exceptions being the unique spells that each vocation gets.) But as a general rule, this book operates on the principal that it is better to tie a new class to an old spell list that Paizo will actively expand for us then to create an all-new class spell list.

I'm playing a Sanctified Slayer Inquisitor in an ongoing WotR campaign, and we're about to head in to Mythic territory.

I'm ranged focused and can put out some insane damage with bane and deadly aim, but I don't know what path I should go down. My campaign trait (chance encounter) gives me a bonus for going in to trickster, but it seems more rogue orientated than ranger.

Can you get some good mileage out of trickster as a sanctified slayer?

His books come in two categories:

1) Shit nobody cares about. Like supplements for the unchained barbarian and summoner, a book for macro/micro play, and entire books about furry kitsune and fucking samsaran (who people only know about because they can mess with spell lists).

2) Abominable implementation. Skills and Options has a complicated jumble of rules that waste a lot of time to just say "everyone gets 4 more skill points per level)" and makes favored class bonuses to ridiculous shit like increase ability scores. Ultimate Charisma is ambitious but fails to deliver anything of value and carries forward a shitload of problems without even trying to fix them (like XP tracking for cohorts, Leadership being a mechanic that varies wildly from useless garbage to game busting, and opposed uses of skills being trivial to push into auto-success territory against level appropriate foes).

Also literally everything he publishes is full of Paizo's weird furry version of kitsune for some fucking reason.

>>47833047

I'm asking because I wanna know if a druid wild-shaped into an elemental can pick up weapons off the ground and use them.
I've already got the go-ahead from the GM, but only because he said it sounded reasonable. He did not know if there were any actual rulings on whether or not it was actually the case, so I'm asking you guys if this is something already addressed.
