I once had a sahkil as an NPC in my game, just a week or two after the Bestiary 5 was released. This was their humanoid form.

>>48035725
Because I'm currently playing a sylph princess

>>48035782
Succubus with just one level in the monster class, so you can fuck them without the whole soul theft thing.

My heart is not ready to run monstergirl maid campaigns.

Have tieflings become the new drow? The new go-to race for faggots who masturbate over NOT BEING EVIL or screaming "cute! CUTE!" or forcing their terrible shemale fetishes?

No; the two PCs (a catgirl and an archon girl) lost their battle against the sahkil, and they were forced to work as maids in an Ethereal Plane manor until they staged a maid rebellion.

So its a house rule now that I'm not allowed to roll for the random encounters anymore, last week when we played we had to fight 5 sin spawn of various degrees, this time I rolled a 19 which means we had to fight a teenage dragon. On the bright side, lots of exp.

>>48035983
An...archon girl?

I was always kinda unimpressed with archons in terms of power compared to other outsider races.

>>48036038
Gate archon
Star archon
Shield archon
Exscinder archon

From the last Thread ill reword what I said, we have a guy in our group that is kinda being a baby when stuff does not go the way he wants it. Last week his character Who is literally Qrow from RWBY died, but we had a res scroll, well it didn't go the way it was ment to and it turned into a reincarnation scroll and he came back as a Tengu, he pitched a fit and said his character was just going to kill himself when he woke up. This week he got over it, but with crit failures, he killed another in our party and ended up dying because he was a retard and decided to attack a random encounter NPC. So the NPC decided to kill him in retaliation after my character calmed them down. now he is acting like a baby about it when we where trying to plan our game next week saying stuff like "you do whatever you want, I wont be there" any advice to get him over it?

Qrow from RWBY, literally Qrow from RWBY, and he wanted to be human and nothing else, even though he was much better off as a Tengu, working wings and all, he still complained.

>>48036055

>Star Archon
Legitimately the most powerful archon. Only special ability is a self destruct half the power of a Balor's.
Admittedly, the rebirth is okay. But it wouldn't win a fight against any of the other most powerful outsiders with it.

Spell-likes are alright, but it's already a 19th level caster at that point. So it has miracle. Better spells than a Balor, except lack of guaranteed summoning.
Less damaging than a Pit Fiend, quickened fireball is really nice.


300 hp. 34 AC. No holy aura. Regen, though.

Balor: 370HP. 36 AC. Constant unholy aura. No regen.
Pit Fiend: 350 HP. 38 AC. Constant unholy aura. Regen.
Solar: 363 HP. 44 AC. Holy aura prepared, but better SR, AC and resists without it. Better regen than any other as well.

In summary, the only thing Star Archons have going for them is decent spells, but they get outdamaged by Pit Fiend's spells and get out everything'd by Solars. The only one they have an advantage on is Balors, which have a higher CL anyways, and have the resistances, straight up immunity and health to tank the more damaging spells.

Alrighty comrades, after long day of work I'm finally ready for some Hellknights, hook me up /tg/!

>>48036236
The strongest archon is Ambithas from Heaven Unleashed.

Avengers get Mad Rush, but the Agathiel can get pounce from Beast Shape at level 8, with Avenger /OR/ Stalker specialization. If you go with catfolk and dex, you can then do it without a penalty to boot. Admittedly, you could also do a tiefling variant to do a Str build and just wear fullplate, but that's something else entirely.

Isn't that just a unique Gate Archon?

Because I wasn't counting Balor Lords or Paragon Empyrean Angels

>>48036252
Congrats on your pedantic autism.

>>48036289
No wizard levels, just CR 17 and casting off both cleric and sorc/wiz lists.

Is a Crit-fishing Paladin a decent idea?

>>48036399
Depends.

Are you the kind of paladin who rides on horseback, with a lance, power attack, spirited charge and you have a cyclops helm and bless weapon?

>>48036399
smite doesn't double on a crit

>>48036443
Pretty sure it does.

>>48036443
I thought it was just extra dice that don't multiply. Lay on Hands shouldn't, but I don't see what keeps Smite from multiplying

>>48036443
Yeah it does.

It's a flat damage bonus, it crits.

>>48036536
Dead levels: the class. Fix it.

what are some great gestalt combination of classes? any level ok.

Besides Chill Touch, does the Magus spell list have any decent spells for dealing with undead?

>>48036536
It's generally accepted that in the special section, you include when a previous ability is upgraded or gains a new feature.

>>48036536
Well at first glance it's way too front-loaded. Also the BAB doesn't increase correctly. Also only having one good save is bad, and having Reflex be that save is worse.

>>48036556
What about 3pp?

You can't go wrong with Oracle Paladin.

I'm a particular fan of:
Oracle 2 | Paladin 2
Oracle 3 | Warlord 3
Battle Templar 10 | Oracle/Warlord 10 (your preference)
Oracle 5 | Warlord 5

>>48036598
preferably 1pp only.

So for anyone here who has played evil characters, do your characters tend to know they're evil, or are they convinced otherwise? If they're convinced otherwise, how would they react to condemnation from a Paladin?

I ask because I'm planning on trying out an megalomaniacal NE Alchemist with an emphasis on trans-humanism and his vision for a perfect world where disease and famine don't exist, but at the cost of everyone's humanity.

>>48036598
>Battle templar

That's a dual advancement class, those are a no-no in gestalt builds. Keep them to one side or the other, no crossing.

How do multiple miss chances from different sources interact? For example, if I have Blur and Mirror Image active.

>>48036606
You have a particular role you like?

Hell, you can always go Goliath Druid/Synthesist Summoner.

You become a moss troll with regen/fire.
Go for immunity to fire with your eidolon.
Grab an anchoring harness, Die Hard, Deathless Adept, Deathless Master, Resilient Eidolon.

You should be immune to hp death by level 12.

>>48036536
>Ugly ass DO NOT COPY watermark stamped across every page

Do you really think somebody's going to be dumb enough to copy this garbage, anon?

>>48036650
Mirror Image isn't a miss chance. Different sources of concealment overlap, not stack, so shadowy illumination doesn't stack with Blur, and Displacement overlaps Blur and shadowy illumination.

>>48036642
Then advance Paladin at the same time.

>>48036669
not really. just looking for interesting combinations.

>>48036664
commoner 0

>>48036650
Only the highest miss chance applies, but Mirror Image doesn't count as a miss chance, since it prevents direct targeting.

>>48036685
You'd have to do something like Paladin//Warlord/Oracle/Battle Templar, but that'd suck compared to plain Oracle//Warlord.

Nothing but complaints about the formatting of my table and petty insults. I should have known I wouldn't get any decent criticism here. In the future I will just stick with reddit.

>>48036701
The main benefit of running both at the same time is that you can make use of both through Battle Templar, rather than be either casting or initiating.

I'm not a fan of just banning options, it's much easier just to suggest that if you're advancing a gish class and one of its main classes at the same time, that advancement is separate. The spell pool or maneuvers are separate as if you were advancing a separate spellcasting or initiating class.

>>48036429
You forgot saddle surge.

>ignores feedback in the first post because he's butthurt

No surprise there.

Overall your class is shit in both its idea and execution, since it's a weak idea written very poorly. Given that you also seem to be an idiot, it's unsalvageable. Have fun in your hugbox.

>>48036731
You made a class and then made it not actually give anything for 3/4 of the levels. Fix it or go be a nigger elsewhere.

>>48036731
See ya.

No responses to issues about legitimate criticism regarding BAB and saves, okay. You won't be missed.

No, anon, not using theurgic PrCs across gestalt lines is RAW and RAI. It's straight out of the gestalt rules.

>>48036673
>>48036691
So they won't miss chance effects don't stack but Mirror Image isn't an actual miss chance and thus will stack with Blur?

>>48036795
Right.

>>48036752
>tfw that third post has a (you)
Someone values my input! Because God knows no one outside this Tibetan self-immolation online symposium does

>>48036795
Yes, you roll the Concealment first, then the Mirror Image. MI makes blatant dupes of you that change as you do, so Blur makes 'em all blurry.

>>48036813
>>48036817
Cool. Thanks.

>>48036795
It's worth noting that the enemy can just close his eyes and swing into your square for a flat 50% miss chance without dealing with mirror images, in case you have Mirror Image active with an ability that grants a 50% miss chance, like Displacement,

>>48036536
Don't bother actually giving this nigger advice, I've seen his threads on reddit, he's been posting this shit for months and responds to every bit of criticism with anger and willful ignorance. When he started on this project he fully ignored the fact that there were two archetypes that did the 20 level arcane archer schtick already. He unironically told others that a class with full BAB and 9-level casting was not OP. This dude is either a troll or a legitimate retard. It's actually kind of sad.

>>48036850
That is, ironically, a better plan than trying to hit more than one mirror image at a time. Higher success rate.

I'm playing an EL6 campaign soon, I dunno if it matters but are there any classes that are most suitable for this type of game? I just want suggestions, I have no idea what to even play.

>>48036782
It'll be gone by Tuesday.

>>48036861
That mean you're on reddit too...

BURN THE HERETIC!

>>48036749
Oh anon, I could kiss you, I didn't notice that.

I have a mythic character for that. So combined all of that (I can gain a standard for a mythic vital strike as I ride-by attack), could be a lot of damage.

Shame it doesn't last very long.

>>48036788
No it is not. Gestalt doesn't explicitly rule anything on the topic.

"But if it takes up both “class slots” for a gestalt characters, it’s no more powerful than taking a level in the barbarian/wizard gestalt."

it mentions that class combination PrCs should not be allowed out of concerns for complication, but doesn't make a rule on it, just a recommendation. You can always either waive it, at a particularly high level campaign, or spend both gestalt classes to advance in it anyways.

>>48036850
Holy fucking metagaming, shitlord.

>>48036891
To be fair, if someone encounters mirror images enough, they might actually decide to go "fuck it" and just swing wildly with their eyes closed. "It can't be worse than what I'm already dealing with", after all.

>>48036891
Not really. If you can't trust your eyes, don't.

>>48035835
What'd my poor novel ever do to you, anon?

>>48036872
refresh me on the rules of E6 again? I imagine you want a class that's reasonably fully functional by level 6, but that depends on what exactly progresses after that point.

>>48036909
People were doing such a good job of ignoring it, man.

>>48036912
If I recall, you spend exp for feats at a flat rate.

>>48036912
Basically what >>48036933 said, at least that's what my GM told me.

>>48036636
Shameless self-bump. I'd like to hear other people's opinions on how to deal with this RP-wise, since I've never played a character who would have any real ideological issues with other party members before.

>>48036933
>>48036957
So no spell/power/maneuver progression past level 6 unless there's some way to spent XP on it.

I stand by my previous statement then - have a concept that comes mostly online by level 6.

>>48036912
>>48036957
Maybe Ranger or Slayer for delicious "ignore feat prerequisite" at level 6?

Improved Precise shot and Shield Master come to mind.

Is 14 an acceptable Con score for a front line martial?

>>48036990
I recall something about E8 working better for Pathfinder, due to the differences between 3.5 and PF.

>>48036980
Try to make the paladin question his own ideal.

Look at Kyton Rhetoric down this page for some idea.

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/outsiders/kyton/kyton-ostiarius

if your last Good character was asked by angels/archons/whatever to work alongside a band of Qlippoth to help eliminate a large demonic base in the material world, would they accept? would they protest and go along with it? Would they react some other way?

They are specifically asked to not in any way backstab the Qlippoth before, during, or right after the mission.

>>48037005
Depend on your other defensive skill.

Can you cast Mirror Image/Displacement? Can you fly? Can you cast invisibility/greater invisibility? Can you teleport out?

>>48037050
I should be more specific I suppose. This is for an Oread OD/ZS Warder with one level of Bloodrager for those delicious front-loaded rage bonuses, but we'll have a Sorcerer focusing on buffs, so I thought it may balance out.

>>48036782
I'm betting it won't be removed.

>>48037028
Oh I really like this. I'm definitely going to be stealing the speech responding to Detect Evil.

>>48037039
Mine would refuse. Qlippoth are too dangerous and unpredictable to work with, and he's too busy vaporizing Devils to get caught up in demonslaying.

So if a creature's natural weapons are listed as 2 talons and a bite, can it attack with both talons in one standard attack action?

>>48037485

No, just one. Same with AoOs and the like.

>>48037508
That's a bit disappointing. I wanted my Roc companion to swoop in and rip things apart on the same turn.

>>48037558
That's what pounce is for.

>>48037558
Can be done if you can permanently make your Roc huge and give it the Grab monster feat.

>>48037584
Is there any way to get Pounce on a Roc?

>>48037585
It gets grab at level 7 anyway

>>48037628
Find some way to grant it a single martial maneuver. There's a 2nd-level Primal Fury maneuver that is pounce, basically. Assuming the old 3.5 rule of '2 non-initiator levels = 1 initiator level' it can get it when it gets 6 HD.

>>48037628
pre-errata Ring of Ferocious Action as a Hunter.

Now both you and your Roc has pounce.

Hey Gareth, the Lords of the Wheel says there are Autumn Lords who 'discreetly maintain various under-the-table alliances with certain temples sympathetic to the cause the Lords espouse.'

Is there any way one of those could be a demon lord's temple? A demon lord more NEish than CE, but still CE. This one.

Anyone here ever create their own Staff?

Depends on how you characterize her church, really. The Lords of the Wheel cause change with the goal of increasing harmony; not maintaining balance, per se, but preventing catastrophe and providing for growth with consistency. Most demon lords are a bit incompatible with that idea, which is not to say that all of them are. Who is this demoness to you and, more importantly, why would her church care for the Wheel?

Someone who balances out all aspects of fiends.

>Because of her corrupting ways, Sifkesh presents somewhat of a conundrum to most demonologists, combining elements of all three fiendish races: she corrupts like devilkind, feeds on souls like a daemon, but is still a demon.[2]

Nah. He just hasn't realize the combo between the ring and Stick Together feat

>>48037850
Oh for fucks sake, tell him to use will saves against Warders if he's that butthurt.

Sounds like an old DM I played with a while back, I'm so sorry.

>>48037956
And? That her behavior is a balance of evil doesn't mean she's harmonious or desirable. She gets off (literally) on taking people with dearly held dogmas (like, say, the Lords), making them betray those dogmas, then watching them kill themselves. It'd be a lot like a paper girl making friends with a fire elemental with a thing for murderous arson. Sure, there's a universe where this might end well, but it's not any of the ones they're living in.

She's a conundrum because they're fucking stupid.

It's not ONLY devils that corrupt, it's not ONLY daemons that do bad things with souls; surely demons or devils occasionally go "eh, why not" and nom one outright instead of selling it or making some new magic item out of it.

>>48037980
I told him exactly what the Warder's weaknesses are, including its lack of any real ranged options, plus vulnerability to touch attacks and AoEs, along with its weak Reflex and Will saves, and he still thinks it's too strong.

He doesn't believe in the Martial/Caster Disparity based on anecdotal evidence from his own sessions, he is adamant that Armored Hulk is better than Invulnerable Rager despite that I ran the numbers to show him specifically how much better IR is, and he believes TWF is the best form of melee attacking, with einhander a close third after two-handed.

I've given up on appealing to reason and decided to let actions speak louder than words, and give him some useful anecdotal evidence by playing an Archmage Magaambyan Arcanist in our Mythic campaign as the only casting-focused character in a party that otherwise consists of a Brawler, a Bloodrager, and a Warpriest. So far we've run through several encounters in which I've managed to avoid damage completely with Mirror Dodge and a Fly speed good enough to automatically pass checks to hover and solve encounters in one action with a Mythic Color Spray.

Assume following situation:
- You play as a Sorcerer (Arcane Bloodline, Human), levels 01-10
- All usual "must-have" spells are already covered
- Your other (usual) spells already makes you powerful enough in whatever field you want (blasting, bfc, debuffs, etc)
- You have two "free" spell-known slots per spell-level

Goal is to use that free slots on some thematic spells. To make said sorcerer more interesting to play ("as" and "with"), not just more powerful. On what spells would you use those "free slots"?

>>48038462
I'd use spells that benefit the whole party, making the character a benefit to the whole team in any situation.

>>48038610
No, that response will be only on spells that are offered in every "what spell should I take" thread and every sorcerer\wizard handbook.
I'm looking for something interesting and more rare. Spells that are fun, but you'd avoid them 'cause there is another absolutely needed practical spell we all know about, that you should take instead.
If I'd mention any spell list, it'd be a discussion about something like "X spell is better then Y for a blaster" or "you totally should take debuff X, you don't have enough %savename%-targeting debuffs yet". That's why I left "main" spell list obscured. It's irrelevant. Consider, that you already have all your favored blasts, buffs, bfc, etc.

>>48038747
But you care enough to post oniichan!

>>48038809
Well, what does your character do for a hobby? Pick spells that work with that if you've got all the bases covered. If he crafts, take spells like fabricate. If he's a performer, illusions make great special effects. That sort of thing.

>>48038809
The thing what you're asking for is still a loaded question, there's a obviously a huge number of spells that could be mentioned and the people and you could just answer with "You think I wouldn't take that" or like I mentioned before, brushed off like >>48038507 's 2 suggested spells.

>>48038869
Those suggested spells are incredibly core though, you could have suggested fireball, summon monster or dimension door at that point.

>>48036110
While that sounds like a shit reaction, consider that A: the GM turned a res scroll into a reincarnation scroll, and B: lets crit failures hit allies (instead of, say, using the crit deck that features almost exclusively penalties to the attacker, either in self-harm or enemy-aid).

I'd say he has every right to leave if he's not happy with the way the game is being played.

Research new spell. Personalize your shit.

the lighthouse represents order among the chaos, safe passage between Scylla and Charybdis. to the deeper things that live beneath those waves, this order is anathema. they slink out at high tide with cold, flabby, webbed hands and long neck-snapping fingers, with huge eyes like distant moons, and they beat upon the great wooden door of the lighthouse. man's racial memory has not yet forgotten the sound of slimy skin scraping against wet timber, of deeper things nudging up against us from the insane bottom-places hidden from the rational sun. the lighthouse-keeper has kept them at bay for years, for should they succeed, should they turn off that narrow beacon of sanity, they would slither out of the lunatic mud and turn their dead, blind gaze up toward the light of the sun--and the light of man.

only the lighthouse-keeper has known these things, and he has borne this terrible burden of knowledge alone for many years. now that lighthouse-keeper has not answered radio calls from the mainland for some days. a ship has been lost. the beacon lies dark. you have been sent to find the truth. the truth is the lighthouse-keeper lies dead. the truth is the sun is going down for maybe the last time. the truth is deeper things are coming with squelching footsteps on the jagged island rock. drink of the black sea and touch the dead star fires that ships wreck upon.

How do pricing work for adding other ability into weapon/armor?

Lesser Luck Mail is a +1 Chain shirt with +1 luck to all saving throw.

It's 3,750gp. Is it because...

Armor Component: Masterwork Chain Shirt is 250gp

+1 Luck Saving Throw is 2,000

Multiple different abilities = *1.5 on lower cost on Armor bonus (enhancement) = 1000*1.5 = 1500?

Is this the right formula?

Is there an Initiator Aegis archetype?
I'm trying to find a way to advance the initiator level of my Warsoul 2 / Aegis 3

>>48039340
No. Pricing on magic armor and magic weapons works differently from other items. Enchantment bonuses and +x equivalent enchantments work independently from enchantments that have flat gold cost, and even if you have multiple enchantments with gold cost, there's no multiplication involved. So the correct cost would be 250gp for masterwork, 1000gp for +1 enchantment, and 2500gp for +1 luck bonus to saving throws. Do note, though, that if it isn't listed separately, adding the luck bonus to other kind of armor would be a custom magic item and the price would be at GM's discretion.

>>48039340
>>48039428

+1 luck saving throw = 2000 GP
+1 enhancement = 1000 GP
Secondary magic item cost for the above = 500 GP
Masterwork = 250 GP

>>48039465
You don't need INT for an aegis dip.
Aegis 3 + Student of the Astral Suit and you now have 7 levels of aegis to play with.

Hm.

Wow, Signifier Masks defend real fucking good vs visual attacks if you want them to.

There's the +2 that a signifier gets normally while wearing it, and if you have it set as Smoked Goggles, then it's a total of +10. Since the Mask's bonus is Competence and the Smoked Goggles bonus is Circumstance, it stacks.

Pity about that 20% miss chance. Although I suppose Improved Blindfight is a thing.

>>48039407
There is not an initiator archetype for it, however there IS a customization that grants you access to maneuvers, called Initiator's Soul. It's in PoWE.

><Forrest> initiator

An aegis 4/soulknife (gifted blade, psychic armory, war soul) 4 with Student of the Astral Suit, Fighter's Blade, and Practiced Initiator has 3rd-level war soul maneuvers, enhanced panoply +3, an 8th-level astral suit for the purpose of customizations and customization points, and 2nd-level maneuvers selectable via Initiator's Soul.

However, you will have to focus on Wisdom and, on your aegis side, avoid any maneuvers and stances that call for your initiation modifier. Alternatively, you can be fully Intelligence-based as a soulknife (gifted blade, living legend) 4/aegis 4, but then you are neither a psychic armory nor a war soul, and gaining 3rd-level maneuvers via Initiator's Soul is not quite as good as it sounds due to maneuver prerequisite speedbumps.

Psionics Augmented: Soulknives, page 14:
>Soulknives, High Psionics Campaigns, and You: Depending on the type of campaign world you play in, if the GM would call it a ‘high psionics campaign’, it would be within reason to allow soulknives to add the manifesting and power progression of the Gifted Blade archetype to all soulknives by default, for a more ‘psionic’ soulknife. This gives the soulknife more of a competitive edge in a world where manifesting and/or magic is highly dominant without compromising the combat abilities of the class. The Gifted Blade archetype in return adds some additional flexibility as well as in and out of combat versatility to the soulknife that lets it stand as both a combative and psionic equal to classes like the psychic warrior or marksman. In games with higher levels of expertise, powerful classes and abilities, or just generally better toys available to people, it would be considered prudent to add the Gifted Blade archetype’s powers to the soulknife to keep them competitive.

According to ErrantX, this is supposed to be a "non-errata soft fix" for the soulknife:

Gifted Blade's power lists are pretty subpar anyways and feat intensive if you want to expand it better. The archetype however is great for the free powerpoints to empower your Sleeping Goddess disciplines though.

But that's just my opinion.

A soulknife (gifted blade, psychic armory, war soul) wants to take mostly passive blade skills anyway.

It is not much more complex than the alchemist/investigator (polymath), the inquisitor/warpriest (warpath follower), or the psychic warrior (pathwalker), all of which are both half-initiators and have up to 6th-level extracts, spells, or psionic powers.

Nor is this type of soulknife particularly complex compared to a full-initiating, power point-spending, collective-managing zealot.

Nor is such a soulknife that much more complex than a single-classed aegis who makes full use of its psionic power, akashic veil, and martial maneuver options.

>>48039428
The first rule of custom magic item say that you should find the most similar item to use it as guide line. That's why I try to break down the price from Lesser Luck Mail.

>>48039456

A Gifted Blade only ever requires the Deflect and Sidestep power.

Oh my fucking god his reddit history

>Arcane Archers tend to be rarely seen, self-educated, and self-governed. They tend to only work with teams that fulfill there need for magic, nature, and intrigue. Arcane Archers are considered non-materialistic, but not in a way a Paladin or Druid would be. They simply see little need for gold and live only to excite themselves. Male Arcane Archers can be selfish, stubborn, and even evil. Female Arcane Archers tend to live in small pods of two or three others female Elves. Typically with other Arcane Archers, Wizards, Rangers, and Sorceresses. They are far more territorial and reluctant to group with non-Elves. Though they are seen committing less acts of evil and caring more for life and nature than male Arcane Archers. They can be evil. They usually decide rear female Elves themselves and send male children to an adoptive family of their choice. Arcane Archers tend to be monogamous with other Arcane Archers, Wizards, and Sorcerers. Rangers, Bards, Druids, and Clerics are rarely chosen as partner and rarely seen as a long term mate. This is most likely for magical progeny or a hold out from tradition Arcane Schools and Bloodlines. Arcane Archers' life spans tend to be normal for their race and rarely do Arcane Archers strive for Lichdom.

The cavalier? Banner is a pretty crap ability, tactician kinda sucks because its a very limited number of feats, and being mounted is either really good or absolutely dick sucking awful.

There's a reason this class is t5, i get its idea but when you can legitimately build a better Cavalier out of the Fighter or Paladin Chassis and get a character thats just as effective, shits mad questionable.

my only problem with order of the tome is the caster level gimping, doesn't seem to be a way to ungimp it for better spells, and scrolls are expensive.

Order of the Tome is a neat concept but 99% of the time you have a full caster in the party who would make better use of every scroll, let alone just outright having the spells to cast.

Hey /pfg/. I need help understanding the positive/negative energy distinction. So many undead feed on the living, i.e. drain the positive energy to sustain themselves. Yet, cure/inflict effects operate inversely on undead. Furthermore, the sceaduinar inflict negative energy damage against undead, not healing. But to my knowledge nothing inflicts positive energy damage against the living.

What is the logic behind this? It looks inconsistent to me.

>>48041010
>the sceaduinar inflict negative energy damage against undead
It doesn't.

>>48041010
Positive/negative and the undead have been handled terribly since 3rd ed. Although iirc, the positive energy plane can pump you so full of light you explode.

>>48041010
Some things do inflict positive energy damage to the living.

Positive energy is animation, life. Negative energy is stillness and death. The undead don't FEED on positive energy, they want to DESTROY it, so they aren't destroyed BY it.

>Entropic Touch (Ex) A sceaduinar's natural attacks can strike incorporeal creatures as if they were ghost touch weapons. All of a sceaduinar's natural attacks deal +1d6 points of negative energy damage to the target. This energy does not heal creatures healed by inflict spells.

>>48041043
Don't forget that positive energy cleanses disease and negative energy promotes disease. AD&D invented positive energy undead to explain this before 3e dropped the idea.

Also the positive energy plan heals undead too. Lol!

>>48041079
>This energy does not heal creatures healed by inflict spells.
It doesn't heal them, but doesn't damage them either.
Kinda like a Rishi Manu Manasaputra.

>>48041053
To be fair, if your entire "life" was cold silence, except the occasional ping on your "THIS CREATURE IS INHERENTLY INIMICAL TO YOUR EXISTENCE!"-o-vision, you'd probably want to kill them too.

>>48041010
Negative energy is not just 'undeath energy'. It is also the energy which destroys, essentially consuming things. It can do damage to undead by destroying their existence rather than their substance or their ephemeral negative energies. Positive energy can do damage - there are a few spells which do so, and versus creatures which use positive energy to both heal and damage enemies.

Its strictly in application that either one does or does not do damage or healing.

>>48041079
But negative energy isn't evil, despite 90% of things it does being evil to cause/create! Like undead! All evil except those ones Pisso decides need to be good, because they're powered by the not-evil negative energy, that evil clerics channel instead of positive like good!

some advices for aplayer who s gonna play S&S, i already have to choice the class, and probably if i have the possibility i want to become the captain

>>48041053
That makes things even more nonsensical. So vampires drink blood to destroy the positive energy it contains because it's toxic to them? That's absurd.

>>48041084
It doesn't say that. It says it damages the target and doesn't heal undead, but undead are not immune to the damage. The manasaputra entry is written differently.

>>48041091
But that's a later addition that introduces more logical hoops because the basic idea of the energies is nonsensical.

>>48041108
Paizo is insane. They invented prana ghosts (aka Deathless 2.0).

>>48041153

>>48041157
It doesn't explicitly say it hurts them.
Undead are stated to be damaged by positive energy and healed by negative energy. Negative energy affinity trait works the same way.
That ability only states it removes the healing, it doesn't explicitly say it damages undead, therefore it doesn't damage them.

>>48041157
Vampires drink blood because they're sustained by blood. That has nothing to do with positive or negative energy.

Undead, as a classification, don't consume positive energy. Or are you claiming the bog-standard skeleton eats people now?

Is there any way to gain two regional traits?

>>48041183
That's ridiculous. The implication is it's supposed to harm undead.

>>48041193
Vampires drink blood because it represents lifeforce. You're using insane troll logic to justify more insane troll logic.

>>48041226
>That's ridiculous. The implication is it's supposed to harm undead.
It's your imagination, not the actual RAW implication.

>>48041226

Take Profession (sailor) and be a stalker or warlord privateer.

>>48041010
It doesn't make sense and Paizo retains it because their fans are autist neckbeards who hate logic and change for the better.

Just drop the distinction and replace all instances of positive/negative damage with radiant/necrotic damage (which hurts everyone equally) from the 5e SRD. Healing either works for everyone equally or only works on the living, at GM discretion.

>>48040624

Guns and crossbows are never* good.
Bows on the other hand are worth grabbing. If you're good at long shots, you can take shots at people on other boats as you slowly approach them.

Do you know if your GM is using ship to ship combat rules?

*Without a ton of optimization

>>48041226
it just removes the undead-healing part of negative energy. if undead weren't immune to negative energy, they'd be damaged for as much as they were healed every time they took an inflict spell

>>48041320
sorry but no 3rd party allowed

When i play PF i m always afraid by being overclassed by my friends who use the tier 1 or tier 2 classes( i don'y like them, they are too powerfull), do you know something usefull for S&S?

>>48041383
What do you mean by S&S?

>>48041200
ask your gm.

>>48041383
Sounds like something you should bring up to your GM.

>>48041463
skulls and shackles.

>>48041337
Undead aren't immune to negative. If they were it wouldn't heal them. Sceaduinar entropic touch deals negative damage to undead, not negative healing.

Replace "negative energy" with "necrotic" and it makes sense.

>>48037015
Not really, E8 just opens the door for a few more feats, and most importantly resurrection and teleportation. 4th level spells in general really.

>>48041547
Could you explain E8, senapi. Pretty please.

>>48041619
E6, E8, etc, are game styles where you stop levelling at the given level. Instead of gaining new levels, you just gain another feat. This keeps the power level from going too far out the window. I actaully ran an E6 campaign for nearly six years, and it was one of my best.

>>48041274
If cooking is important probably being a witch is funny.

>>48037015
e8 lets you get leadership and a few other level dependants, but otherwise is the same abouts as e6. most of it boils down to the fact that feats are 1 3 and 6 in 3.5 and 1 3 5 and 7 in pf. so a lot of 6th level feats are now 7th level in pf. but because e6 is a feat heavy system, theres no reason you couldn't house rule the feats in anyway.

I prefer e8 since it gets you to the cleric capstone though.

>>48041653
I take it the number after teh E is the level you stop at.

>>48041990
Yep, E stands for, depending on who you ask, either Epic (because it's your final level) or Eternal (because you're there forever)

honestly though AA and EK doesn't lose you that many BABs and levels, it's not full, but near full BAB and arcane spells is already possible. you miss out on 4-5 arcane spell levels total. that gets you everything but 9th level spells. you miss out on 1-2 bab. Thats a pretty light loss. I wouldn't say that there needs to be a class that gives thoughs things naturally, but if we're talking balance, it's not far beyond what you get from being a prc user.

>>48040034
I have my guides up, can't grab the link from phone. Long story short, nearly every single veil CAN be useful if you see the situation coming (Viziers have an edge here, both in research and in. Veilshifting). None of the Veils are designed to work alone, and few are good in a vacuum.

Get a decent synergy set together, though? Frost from the Polar Snowshoes does evil things to enemy groups that like morale or insight bonuses (like any Barbarian or Bard, or other Veilweavers). That Guru can be an excellent sneak and grease man, then lay out very respectable damage on the other side by shifting essence around. Vizier is legitimately my favorite class in PF for similar reasons.

>>48042679
Meant to pair it with the Frostbite Halo in the example, sorry.

In other news, I'm on a long, boring shift today and will be working on Writing Stuff. On the plate for today is the last section of Steelforge 2, work on the Plane Crasher commission, and some Forgeworks conversion work. Some of this might hit the playtest doc tomorrow, but that assumes work gives me time to do so.

>>48042679
Ok, what is this book? DSP splat I assume?

>>48042890
Akashic Mysteries, and yes it is. It's the port of Incarnum, which was my favorite in 3.5 as well. Full book releases Very Soon.

>>48041931

What's the sweet-spot for Pathfinder, anyway? The exact level where martials are useful, mages are useful, and you're regularly fighting monsters that can actually feel "heroic" conquests?

It feels like level 8 is that magic number, but a niggling voice in my head suggests it could also be level 10.

>>48043196
>The exact level where martials are useful
1
>mages are useful
All levels

>>48043196
In my experience, you want the class features of 6 and the feats of 7. I ran an E6 campaign for several years, and let them take 7th-level feats in place of levels at max level. Everyone felt pretty contributory.

My PCs want to ascend a very tall mountain in order to reach the fortress-home of a group of frost giants located near the summit. I already have the dungeon crawl ready to go, but it would be pretty boring to just ask for a few climb checks and then tell the party they are arriving at the mountain fortress.

What sort of encounters (not necessarily combat encounters) could I add along the way to make climbing the mountain more interesting?

>>48042670
Took the Speedy Summons Path ability to make it a standard action :^)

>>48043278
In one of the campaigns I'm playing my sole purpose to try and allow PoW. Doing everything I can to break casters.

So far he's made me reroll out of a monster tact. inquisitor (that happened at level 3).. so now I'm playing a psychic. Here we go.

>>48043270
They know that giants live there, show them evidence of it. Maybe a clearing of chopped trees where they get their wood supplies? A pack of scavengers (or even people) fighting over the dump site of their table scraps, since it would be a lot to us? Sections of stairs or handholds carved into the mountain, sized and spaced for those Giants? Small game being prolific, since they're beneath the notice of the big guys but their larger natural predators are hunted?

Any or none of these can include combat at your choice.

So what exactly is this? A class, discipline, archetype?

>>48043757
Oh christ you're right, I never noticed

>>48041010
Let's put that a different way. So we have two opposing sources of lifeforce: goodly positive energy and icky negative energy. Positive energy powers people and angels and demons and jyoti, negative energy powers diseases and undead and sceaduinar and dhampir and nightshades. The energies cancel one another out like matter and antimatter but less explosively.

Why would diseases and certains types of undead feed on creatures powered by positive energy? That's like a water elemental moving to the plane of fire or vice versa.

QUESTION: when does a shaman gain access to "True Spirit" abilities?

For example, can a level one shaman who chose the life spirit channel energy as a swift action?

Plox help, I'm dming a group and the shaman posed the question. I doubt it, but I want to know the actual rule. I can't find a stated level anywhere.

Let's say you have natural attacks. But they're *ranged* natural attacks.

Do those provoke?

>>48043879
> At 16th level, the shaman gains the abilities listed for the true version of her selected spirit.
Nigger can you and your player read?

>>48043879
Normal Spirit gets it at 16, Wandering Spirit at 20. Refer to the table at http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/hybrid-classes/shaman

>>48043863
That makes no sense. They don't cancel out only at equilibrium: adding positive energy to negative energy removes that amount and vice versa. A disease should drown in its host's positive energy. A vampire should be burned by its victim's positive energy.

Either positive and negative energy are mutually toxic or negative energy consumes positive energy. You can't have both any more than you can have fire vampires that drink water elementals.
