Pathfinder General /pfg/

Friendly reminder to tell us what 3pp your game allows if you need character building help.

Would you waifu/husbando a trompe l'oeil? Would you take one as a cohort?

Damn, these are a super cheap way to clone a dude as a construct. Why isn't every high-level character on the planet getting themselves cloned as paintings?

Probably because there's a nonzero chance that your painting clone will try and murder the shit out of you.

Tell us what's in the new product, DSP!
>>
>>49001666
These seem fine.
Though I'm not sure if I'd take the dex-based ones even with a dex character.

Between Weapon Finesse and Deadly Agility and then everything else the build wants, there' not much room for a three feat chain.
And also you just take Veiled Moon/Shattered Mirror and teleport everywhere and not care about AoOs
>>
>>49001819
It should be noted that I'm using condensed feattax, so all characters can use finesseable weapons, things like combat expertise, piranha strIke and power attack are "toggle" effects players can just use if they have the tools for it, and want the penalties.

I'm thinking of adjusting jack be nimble, but make jack jump over the candle stick apply if jack be nimble /or/ jack be quick preqs are met, so I'm not feat locking too hard.
>>
>>49001251

Then I wouldn't need to make a painting because I've already got a waifu/husbando!

>>
>>49002107
If you're asking literally, well you could probably stay alive with 0 AC.

if you're asking in the sense that you want to know in general, the AC needed to stay alive is enough AC to avert your opponents attacks enough that you can heal faster than you take damage.
>>
>>49002159
Well nobody really heals during fights
But I just don't find pathfinder math to feel intuitive
Especially when CR scales high enough, it starts feeling arbitrary

>>49000787
I don't think so. They don't say that you can't, but they don't say you can.
>>
>>49002175
CR is broken in general.
How much AC you need is also tied to your HP, and your role in battle.
Instead of just asking 'how much AC do I want', you look at the average enemy you're expected to face, and calculate on average how many rounds it takes them to off you.
>>
>>49001796
What's that from?
>>
>>49002263
Well as I player I can't know what I will face or that takes the surprise out of the adventure

Especially when something like AC is broken and cannot keep up with attack bonus anyway when you get high enough level

>You didn't think we were done with martial characters now that Path of War Expanded is out, did you? Coming soon: Divergent Paths - new additions to the Path of War product line!

I expect it's these.
>>
>>49002296
Figure it out from the GM's track record.
That's all you can do, really.

Having below average AC is 'enough' if the GM scales enemy attack bonus to match, and campaign's enemies still miss you often enough.
Having super high AC still isn't enough is the GM overestimates you and regularly sends tough enemies.

At the end of the day no amount of AC is enough because the GM then just uses touch attacks and save or suck spells on you

I've actually heard a bunch of PFS GMs talk about how "OP" the kineticist is. It's because the kineticist has a higher floor than most CRB classes, but a lower ceiling. Assume for a minute that you're playing in a group full of people whose characters actually look like the PF iconics- the kineticist could seem ridiculously strong by comparison. There's actually way more people in the world playing PF at low system mastery than high, so in entry level groups, casual groups, or groups that just never bother to improve their character optimization levels, the kineticist may seem good by comparison since it's relatively easy to build and has an array of limited but decent at-will abilities.

I bought Everyman Games' Unchained Monk Archetype book for a character I'm building. The PC is an oread, which has a really cool racial monk archetype called Student of Stone that I was really hyped for. I planned out the character, but then made the horrible realization: the fact that the archetype replaces Fast Movement means no Flying Kick!
How fucked is an UnMonk without flying kick or a way to pounce?

So I would like your guy's opion on a character I want to play. I feel like it could either turn out great or be absolute shit.

NE Duergar Tyrant Warpriest (Cult Leader) variant muliclasing into rogue.

His backstory is that he was part of a demon worshiped demons. During a ritual to summon one, the demon went on a rampage and slaughtered everyone. While this is happening the character tries to banish the demon but ends up imprisoning it inside of himself giving him psionic abilities and transforming him from a regular dwarf into a dark skinned version. (Duergar dont exist in the setting and the GM has already approved this)

I already know that the plot will involve fighting demons, to the character will be fighting them out of a personal hatred and not for the greater good like most of the rest of the party. I figure I will play him as the realist of the party, since he is not fighting for some ideal he is in the best position to keep things in perspective for everyone else. While he is evil I also don't think that will matter much, he doesn't inherently value the lives of others but isn't going to just randomly kill people.

Mechanically he will be the party rogue (at will invisibility is a nice for this) but he will also have some access to spells and his sacred weapon will be a dagger. He also has the ability to throw his dagger and then pull it back with kinetics which is cool.

So what do you think?
>>
>>49002811
>>49002734

Oh my god this.

Pathfinder is knee-deep in the weird stuff, but I recall 5e discussions often devolve into waifus and cutesy romantic.

This was our Bard's train of thought as he sold us out (and supported with everything he had) to an organization of organ graftmakers.

We managed to escape, however, by GM fiat - which actually makes things even worse since now we were basically naked and permanently de-equipped. However, I managed to get very very lucky, and after we tracked down the bard, was able to CDG him in his sleep successfully.

So I was booted from the group for being an antagonistic teamkilling asshole.

I'm pretty excited for my Sunday Shattered Star game, though that's mostly so can get the stuff I got spoilered for out of the way. Hopefully by facetanking it so the other players don't get upset when their character concept gets fucked with. After that it's probably business as usual of telling the other PCs "please don't die" and swimming in all the skill checks I'll need to roll.

I swear to god if I succeed those saving throws and nothing happens with that trap, I will be severely disappointed.

>>49003230
I used to... but a few months ago, for half the group, every excuse or reason imaginable became good enough to cancel things. Part of the problem is one player is now the GM's boss, and it turns out he's got a grudge with me from a few years back.

>Anon said he had some important stuff he needed me to help with thursday, so saturday's cancelled

>Oh Anon and Anon can't make it so I'll just have a quiet family weekend instead

>Sorry I need the GM to help me look over some documents for something at the notary on saturday whose hours are monday to friday. It's going to be very busy this weekend.

And finally last week's:
>Well my girlfriend's out of town this week (she doesn't play), so since it's just me alone we won't have enough people
>Hold on here why don't the rest of us just play something?
>Yeah no, I'm inviting GM over for an important dinner...

Always something, every single week since May. We literally had *one* game night since then, although I'm 99% certain that this statement is only factual for two of us, and that they've had plenty of gaming between angeranon and the GM...

I'm dusting off one of my older character concepts and I could use a little help optimizing a suboptimal concept. All 1pp material allowed, no 3pp.

http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=922831

I realize power attack can do the job of weapon specialization but bonus combat feats are few and far in between and it seems like a waste to spend them on something that I can take with a regular feat slot, not to mention a 3/4 bab class probably cant get a competitive hit rate with power attack till I get some inherent bonuses in there.

As for blessings, I'm sticking to book dieties for now but I'll probably take maybe Law and Destruction domain with a bow as a favored weapon if a GM ever allows me to make something up.

>Paizo is weird in that they love to have lot of PG-13 sex stuff in their APs

Which is really obnoxious if you ask me, who are they trying to fool? Just shove in some of the sex stuff we know they want and be done with it, the Eclipse Phase developers did that and people still love that setting, Exalted did that and people still like that setting, what's the deal?
>>
>>49003654
Pathfinder is too mainstream for that
>>
>>49003654
But anon, sex is bad, because when a penis exists anywhere on a planet, that makes it rape. We can't portray rape in our APs, that would bring terrible memories of vicious and violent rape to our target audience, like that time one girl was ASKED WHAT TIME IT WAS, or the time someone looked away from this other trans-girl in disgust, thus almost raping her, because she was trans and totally not because he hadn't shaved in months and his dick was clearly showing through his dress.

These are bad things.
>>
>>49003700

Oh hush, there's only like two named Trans characters in the entirety of their AP line-up and even then they play minor to nonexistent roles in the plot.

There's also rape and implications of rape, along with plenty of other sex-related topics that can be pretty uncomfortable to talk about (such as the woman in Book 2 of Reign of Winter who canonically had a satyr son at 14.)

It's fantasy golarion. The average life expectancy is likely very low so people tend to try to screw as soon and often as possible. On the topic of the satyr, I always thought the old tradition of giving the bride's family a goat was supposed to happen BEFORE the wedding.

Well a doujin version would be nice.
>>
>>49003883
Well isn't that how it went?
She probably wasn't married yet.
>>
>>49003777

There's a woman you meet in Book 2 on the way to Whitethrone whose husband was butchered by quicklings minutes before you arrive, and are keen on getting into the house to slaughter her children.

You discover the wife had a satyr son as a young teenager by a passing satyr bard, and spent the next 16 years living as an outcast with her fae child. The son recognizes he's the thing keeping her from happiness and leaves. Years later, the woman finds love in the arms of a gentle woodsman and they have children together.

The son however falls into the wrong crowd of fae, who learn about his human heritage and insist on slaughtering his mother's new family for shits and giggles. The son refuses, but they learn where she lives anyway and forces him into a nearby barn to watch as they get rid of the human pests. When the party kills the quicklings the wife offers to look after Nadya's children for the rest of your journey to Whitethrone, with the satyr son deciding to live nearby and watch over his mother and half-siblings. The mother gives the party the satyr bard's ushanka, a magical item she's kept all these years as a fond memory of her first lover.

For some reason that encounter really stuck with me.

Yes. "That" trap. I expect that the dice will fuck the whole thing up and it will be completely ignored afterwards, which would be very disappointing.

I... I kind of figured it would be? Considering book 2 consists of raiding a tower dedicated to the Runelord of Lust. In order to find a magic item that is literally "The Shard of Lust" which probably will make whoever handles it have an intense desire to bed the nearest living creature.

I'm really glad at least one party member is immune to mind-affecting effects though. That'll probably be a godsend. The bad news on that, though, is the GM ruled that, even if it has no mechanical effects, it still addles the mind of my Homunculus a little while she holds a shard.
>>
>>49004056
I though it had no save at all.
There are many kinky traps in book 2, so I might be thinking of something else.
The fake tomb that forcibly switches your body to that Runelord if you touch it?

>>49004056

Oh, God, not the daughteru.

That trap acts as a Phantasmal Killer with a Will save, followed by a Fort save to not die. At least that's what I remember it being when people were talking about it last.

Sadly, no. I think you missed the conversation about a 14 year old having a satyr baby. that's there the baby thing came from.

Making a Half-Orc Skald.

Is there any way to actually make a combination weapon/instrument, like pic related?

And what's the optimal order to take these feats?

-Recovered Rage
-Skald's Vigor
-Power Attack (Keep in mind Skald's have 0 BAB at first level)
-Furious Focus
-Cornugon's Smash
-Reckless Rage
-Greater Skald's Vigor (I notice this feat has "Perform (Song)" as a prereq. Should I take this to mean "Perform (Sing)", or are those two different things?)
-Expended Spell Kenning
-Lunge
-Battle Cry
-Inspired by Fear

There are 11 feats because we're not using the hero point system. Are there any I should swap out entirely?

Depends on the template. Most templates that alter type specify that you DON'T recalculate HD, BAB or base saves based on the new type. If it doesn't specify that, you DO recalculate them.

Well my group promoted me to to get it going in the first place.

Also we haven't played a single game since early June.

Maybe its the summer season and people want to do other things, but it's frustrating when you're asked to do something, and then you have the materials ready to go, and you're waiting indefinitely for the folks who asked for the game in the first place.

What happens when you take a level in two 1/2 BAB classes. Do you get a +1 for both or is it a +0 still?
>>
>>49004378
Depends. The normal way is that it's still +0, but Pathfinder Unchained added "Fractional BAB" as an optional rule, which would make it +1. So I guess the answer is "depends on your GM."
>>
>>49004360
You need to bring it up with them in a direct manner. Just pick up your balls, get the spahgetti back in your pants, and tell them straightup "You need to make your character and character sheet, and you need to make them now, I've had everything ready to go for a month now and you're still dragging your feet with the easier job."

If they try to bullshit you or give you guff, tell them "Alright, then we'll play without you"
If they try to say "I'll do it soon/later" enforce upon them when to do it, hold them to a specific date and tell them if they don't do it on that day, they won't be playing with you.

And remember to offer to help them with it so they don't entirely feel like you're trying to be mean to them.

Be firm, but fair.

Punish the GM by becoming overly motherly.
Refuse to go on any adventures at all to "protect muh babeh" But still go with the party
and when you have the baby continue to nurture it and protect it. Then when the GM gets fed up and does something to off the child, make your character snap, go insane, plot to kill the party and work with the BBEG to 'restore your lost child'
>>
>>49004476
If it just started, keep adventuring for about six months, then take a downtime break and maybe play a temporary character for that period of time while the baby is born/mother is recovering from birthing.

After that, my recommended recipe is a cup of butter, some rosemary, thyme, or sage, salt, pepper, and lemon juice (though any citrus will work).

Alternatively, what >>49004527 suggests.

Wait, this makes no sense.

The satyr son is like 18 when you meet him.

The mother was a young teen when she got knocked up, let's say 16 to be generous.

Giving him leaving at 14 and assuming she spent a couple years getting her reputation back and finding the woodsman, she was around 36 when she had her first human kid, and she's supposed to have around 3-5 around child age.

Doesn't that seem a little... You know... Old? Why did Paizo give someone who should have shriveled ovaries children? Did Paizo actually think this character through, and if so why did they include the satyr son when it could have been like, the old goat lover accidentally leading the quicklings to the house?

This isn't some European paradise where fertility treatments are available for the haggard ex-sluts that need them to squirt out one child before feeling immeasurably smug about the experience, this is the ass end of Irrisen with her the despised outcast of a tiny village. Why is her womb still working? Did Shelyn bless this late discovery of true love? Why is that never mentioned if she helped her have kids?

Most likely the mother "identifies" as a mother and could even if she was 95 with 0 magical aid or lifepsan extensions whatsoever.

Kill it.
I don't mean "buy abortive herbs", I mean take the highest grade of magic weapon in the party and J-J-J-JAM IT THROUGH YOUR FUCKING UTERUS.

IDEALLY it's something you can make count as +6 but +5 at least will do.

Why that high?

To get through the DR of whatever the fuck is growing in there.

Hey, anon; you know who else was pregnant without having sex? (hint: it's not mary, you weren't married until you'd consumated - sometimes in front of the inlaws)

Ellen Ripley in the third movie.
She was pregnant without sex.

Use power-attack, and have the cleric on standby. It's the only way to be sure.

So I'm playing through Reign of Winter as a Paladin of Iomadae. When Midnight Black showed up and explained the plot, my character was a bit iffy about it all and prayed for guidance. The big crusader in the sky was nice enough to provide some giant sword's appearing to answer "Yes, the world is at threat from ice based doom and yes, get your rear into gear and free Baba Yaga."

Now I'm going to chase that old hag like a mad dog, but, realistically, who should my character send some letters to let know what the situation is? Her church? All the governments? The shitty, shitty pathfinder society?

Also, what sort of military rank or title would be appropriate for the leader of an anti-end-of-the-world task force?

Trying to make a crossbow-wielding Inquisitor, going with Sanctified Slayer and taking a dip in Gunslinger's Bolt Ace. Since I'm only level 4, I'm going Inquisitor 3/Gunslinger 1, but how far into Gunslinger should I go, and how soon? Also, my character worships a Sea god, would Oceans be a good domain pick? Surge seems like a handy way to get enemies out of my melee range. Also, any suggested feats I should take?

Basically you have a problem. You need at least to get dex to damage from bolt-ace or there never was a point in being one.

Alright folks, so!

First things first: the author of Psionics Augmented: Psicrystals thanks you for your feedback and will be making revisions based upon it. Before you ask, yes, psicrystal weapons are on the list of things being revised.

This particular supplement, being one of our Patreon ones, is shorter. That means, f'rinstance, that stuff like psicrystal archetypes, while on the table, would be included in a future supplement rather than THIS PARTICULAR release.

Today is gonna be the last day for public feedback on the document as it stands. The (theoretically) final revisions will be done over the weekend for Internal to hash out and review, and if everything goes well (it never goes well but I can dream) we'll release sometime next week or the week after.

You can find the playtest document here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14xiRRju0zPb62Q2Q3Jqpqr8tosELq8I5kJcFm5YilLo/edit?usp=sharing

Riiight, I completely forgot that Crossbows don't get that from the get-go. Yeah that seriously blows considering my guy's a Halfling, downright dreadful...

The Crystallized creature is going to need its own table of sorts-Issues being on how it interacts with the creature's HD and feats (Both with how many it starts with and whether it gains more or not), templated creatures and other stuff (Plus on how many HD the animal companion choices may or may not have for feat purposes). To boot, just saying Medium Elemental is a rather bad wording of the limitations, as there are medium sized elementals with significantly higher statlines and better abilities that the medium air/earth/fire/water elementals specifically. Psicrystal Weapon's Material Mastery should come no later than 7th level, it's completely useless by the level it comes up, due to most martial characters either having a +4/+3 duo or a +5 weapon already by that level

My advice, forget the Gunslinger Dip. As a Sanctified Slayer, you can just stack Studied Target and Bane to fix the damage. Then, it's just a matter of getting Rapid Reload in just one crossbow for now, then spend your Slayer talent on Archery Combat Style to get Crossbow Mastery later on.

>>49002889
Damnit. I really like the stuff the archetype gave me. I don't mind moving slowly, but losing flying kick really hurts. It sucks that many of the archetypes in the book switch out fast movement, since it was less important when they were originally written.

With the absence of hormone therapy and fertility treatment the average woman was not expected to have children after 35, it was possible but those children tend to come out odd (what's the risk of a child having autism from an old mom? 80%?)

This woman was a random outcast in a poor Not!Russian village during the faux-Renaissance, her ovaries should not be working like they used to.

Furthermore I'm not arguing the character herself is trash, I'm arguing the fact she's having children well into her late 30s reeks of 21st century sentiments, which makes it trash.

She should be married to the woodsman that loves her, but is childless with him. She loses nothing by being childless, or are you suggestion she has to have children to be a compelling character?

With nothing but Paizo content, the Warlock Vigilante is carried to bottom-of-the-barrel T3 solely on the back of it's prepared 6th level spellcasting. It's a shitty wizard with a souped up damage cantrip, and nothing it does can't be done better by a magus, or any number of other classes. Mystic Bolts are shit by RAW and get nothing to make them not shit. HOWEVER! We happen to have a 3pp dev who's releasing a book SOON(tm) that contains things to make your Mystic Bolts be not-shit. Legendary Vigilantes. If EhnJolly is ever around, he'll probably tell you all about it, at least if I don't shitpost about it first.

I have to go do shit soon so I'm going to be lazy and just copypaste and hope Jolly doesn't have my head for it. Two of the things are just "it's point blank+precise shot combined as a vigilante talent" and "auto-advancement of the TWF chain in exchange for a talent", which are things you would have taken with a regular Warlock, maybe. The main two /FEATS/, however, are:

Genius Vigilante
Prerequisite: 1st level vigilante.
Benefit: You can use your Intelligence instead of your Charisma for any vigilante ability you gain, such as the save DCs of your vigilante talents or the bonus spells, spell save DCs, and spell effects of spellcasting or alchemy and other abilities gained from vigilante archetypes.
Normal: A vigilante uses their Charisma modifier to determine the save DCs of their social and vigilante talents.
Special: This feat must be selected at 1st level, or before your first level of vigilante. An alchemical scoundrel, cabalistUI, magical childUI, outrageous lyricist, or warlockUI can choose to gain this feat in place of their 1st level social talent.

Mystic Accuracy (Combat)
Prerequisite: Mystic bolts class feature.
Benefit: You deal additional damage when attacking with mystic bolts equal to half of your Intelligence modifier (minimum +1), and you can apply the Deadly Aim and Power Attack feat to attacks made with them even if they are touch attacks (due to the piercing bolts class feature). If you have the Clustered Shots feat, you can total the damage from all hits before applying an opponent’s energy resistance.
Special: If you have the Genius Vigilante feat, the bonus to damage from that feat increases to your full Intelligence modifier (minimum +1). If you have the Charismatic Caster feat, the bonus to damage from that feat increases to your full Charisma modifier (minimum +1) instead of half your Intelligence modifier.

There's also one to be a spontaneous Cha caster, which is mentioned in Mystic Accuracy.

To be fair, it's not necessarily a guarantee that the child is going to be disabled OR the mother is going to suffer for having a kid that late in her life.More likely, certainly, but not a 100% certainty.

And all that matters is Paizo insisting the mother passed all her saves and the children came out flawless.

It's a clear push for a certain type of very modern narrative but you can't actually argue against it since the results are kosher as per Pathfinder rules.

It just bothers me how Paizo thought they needed to give this woman a stereotypical "happy ending with a loving husband and adorable children" only to then throw some Quicklings at her that brutally and maliciously slaughter her husband right outside their door.

Like, what would change about the character if she remained single or simply childless? Is Paizo really that terrified of writing a character that simply got dealt a shit hand in life and is trying to make the most of a life-ruining decision she made as a teenager? Is this some sort of incredibly convoluted excuse to kill a male character (as Paizo always loves to do)?

For real though, what's with Paizo and killing dudes.

>>49006542
"Almost any bard" is obviously on the list. Arcane Duelist can make for a really solid contributor who can buff and frontline, if that's what you want. Skald's effectiveness is very group dependent, but can be ridiculously solid in the right group.

You are so painfully wrong here it's disgusting. Warpriest is absolute garbage and Alchemist isn't even vaguely the most versatile class in PF, you've bought into the /pfg/ alchemist meme way too hard.
>>
>>49006854
I honestly want to know why that player hasn't decided to tell the DM to stop this realmery at once, but from what I can tell it's part of the tone of the game.
Which drives my curiosity as to what the fuck kind of game they're playing.
>>
>>49006935
To be fair, the /pfg/ alchemist meme isn't that it can do everything AT ONCE, it's that it can do a lot of things and a party of nothing but alchemists could theoretically function just fine, since you can build them so many different ways.

It's not as extreme as /pfg/ makes it out to be, and you probably want to slot an investigator in with those alchemists, but it's not /wrong/ per-se.
>>
>>49006884
I respectfully disagree. I believe that while very versatile, the bard/skald are less credit-to-team and much more team-force-multiplayer.

A bard can't help out a trash-tier party very well, but if the party is good-tier of even great-tier then the bard is incredible.

>Warpriest is absolute garbage

Okay, so, private session was a vision of a hyena-headed pregnant woman telling me this was my curse for killing her priests and that until I accepted it it would keep happening

sounds like lamashtu is pissed at us.

I am alive and healed. Paladin has not fallen to the best of our knowledge, but my character is avoiding him for obvious reasons. Wizard is trying to comfort me. Rogue is just staring at paladin and sharpening daggers.

my character's the only female PC in the group, which is why I think I got singled out for it.

>For real though, what's with Paizo and killing dudes.
If a man dies protecting his children, it's seen (correctly) as heroic.
If a woman dies protecting her children, it's not only heroic, but also has a tragedy multiplier attached and is seen as grimdark by a lot of people (wow, things are so shitty not even the widows are safe).
That's just how writing slants gender roles. In most novels, the nameless guard that dies in front of the hero is a dude, because most people find women dying unsettling- in fantasy, it's the lot of a man to be a warrior, but a woman chooses to be one, which is why female warriors often get the special snowflake token attached to them, as either they are the last line or they're so competent they can fight as well as (and often better than) most men.

So your character is literally getting unlimited free half-fiend babies. I'm sure if /pfg/ put our heads together we could come up with something useful to do with infinite half-fiends. At the least there are probably evil wizards who would pay you a lot of money for the babies - you could probably make a killing.
>>
>>49007223
>until I accepted it
Probably means "until willingly carrying the baby to term" rather than "accept the concept mentally", so there would only be one half-fiend baby.

That's still pretty squick, but sometimes squick can be good.

I'm pretty sure that half-fiend grey renders would kill me coming out.

>>49007162
Your parents were once champions of good, and brought peace to the land. You were to be the inheritor to a peaceful lordship, but the power and money your parents had collected, as well as the pressures of ruling, caused them to make foolish and reckless decisions, as they had no political experience.
Once, they went out to face an enemy of the kingdom, and never returned. The only thing you have left of them were both of their trademark weapons, which were returned only as a symbol that they had truly been killed. Since you were not old enough to inherit them and your parents were now suddenly in debt, they were eventually sold to make up the difference, meaning you don't know who holds your possible heritage weapon.
Eventually, despite all your efforts, your inheritance has been repossessed by the king, who has given it to another noble family. However, that family's head has seen your competence firsthand and knows of a suitable spouse he or she can marry you to. Prove yourself to the rest of his family, and he'll push for the marriage and you can get the estate you were raised in back.
The character will probably end up leaving children but die like his parents for the sake of the greater good.

Ooh, I like these! I'm trying to aim for as miserable as possible, a real "scruffy dog" character. A father who had to bury his wife and children sounds good, maybe... What if he's a former thug, and his past caught up to him when he tried to lead a quiet life?

Now he goes off on adventure, a flagellant desperate to find a cause he can die for.
>>
>>49007328
Given Lamashtu, probably not? I think her followers are expected to birth naturally.

>>49007394

>>
>>49003328

There is if you count Wayfinder.
>>
>>49007381
What if he had a wife and she died, and he fell back into his old war days?
His children are provided for and most of them are capable of setting out on their own, but he can't stay around them or sit around his estate because with his children accounted for, he has no more obligations. They can take care of themselves,and something in them hopes to relive the adventure he won his wife in, though he knows he'll never find her again along the path. He rationalizes it by saying it's for the greater good, but until he finally lets the memory of his old adventure go and accepts her death, he'll always be chasing after the past. Hopefully he resolves it by finally going on the quest he's on for its own sake and going out in a blaze of glory to meet his wife when the time comes, or perhaps finally going back to his estate to die in peace after all is said and done.

I'm tapped for new monsters to throw at the party for tonight's session. I need more monsters/magical beasts instead of the same thugs/wizards/undead/constructs I've been using.

>>49007394
>I think her followers are expected to birth naturally.
Several servants of Lamashtu are mentioned as having cuts on their stomachs to have a C-Section, and thus allow them to have more children instead of getting killed with a natural birth. A C-Section is totally allowed, tell this to the party and your GM.
>>
>>49007548
>*something in him
I'd think that even if she was a princess or lady or something the wife would be an adventurer in her own right and they settled down after the last job.
Maybe he has some old friends that cross paths with him, having fallen into a blacksmith's job or mayor's seat.
>>
>>49004212
Anybody got any advice for me on this? Some other way to improve the concept?
>>
>>49007573
Brought it up. GM is requiring religion rolls to figure out the specifics of the curse, but it seems like the above idea that I have to carry a child to term and give birth to it (naturally or by c-section) is likely. No one is having fun IC right now, but OOC we're enjoying it; this is a pretty neat curse I think, and it makes sense. Trying tof igure out the best way to proceed from here.

Wizard things going to civlization might be a bad idea; the curse is definitely too powerful for our casters to dispel, but given Lamashtu's preferances we're looking at trying to please her to make the curse go easier, if at all possible.
>>
>>49006978

I think the bard in particular can be both. While one works great as a force multiplier, depending on the party there is usually a bard build that works very well.

How do you define a trash-tier party, btw? Poor stats, weaker classes, bad tactics?

Okay, session is just ending. It looks like the final decision we're making is to try to appease Lamashtu with htis; the rogue, wizard, and I will make a place out here in the wilderness to stay. The Paladin's going to return to civilization to report our success and maybe get some help for my bard; in the meantime we're settling in for a long-haul of pregnancy and mostly self-sufficiency out here in the riverlands. Gonna try to not fuck it up as much as we can; no one here's willing to sacrifice their morals and ethics for it, but we don't want my character to die, so we'll see what happens as we try to walk that line.

I'm still talking to the publisher about it, although it looks like most of the mystic bolt content will be in a soon to be announced companion to Crimson Throne (as well as a [not] Grey Lady prestige class), but the wheels of justice are grinding really damn slowly right now.

Also either int or cha to damage makes them less grabage, as does being able to effectively apply clustered shots to energy resistance helps.

Vigilante Casting Savant
Prerequisite: Vigilante 5th, must have an archetype with the alchemy or spellcasting class feature.
Benefit: You gain a vigilante talent.
Special: You cannot select this feat if you possess the Vigilante Savant feat.

Charismatic Caster
Prerequisite: 1st level cabalist, warlock, or zealot.
Benefit: You now cast as a spontaneous caster (if you didn’t already), using the bard’s spells known to determine how many spells you know, as well as no longer needing a spellbook to prepare your spells. You also use your Charisma modifier instead of your Intelligence or Wisdom modifier to determine your spells per day, bonus spells, spell DCS, and other related spell effects.
Special: This feat must be selected at 1st level, or before your first level of cabalist, warlock, or zealot. A cabalist, warlock, or zealot can choose to gain this feat in place of their 1st level social talent. A zealot who takes this feat also uses their Charisma in place of their Wisdom for all abilities related to their inquisition.

A man of fine taste, just like myself. You can thank EhnJolly for being hardcore bullied until he was willing to add everything. There's also another archetype that replaces the Startling/Frightening/Stunning appearance line that gives you favored terrain and some other stuff.

Fuck it, I'm already on a roll, and I'm copypasting this from a personal doc anyway, might as well give you a preview of an archetype too.

>Inquisitive Detective
>Truth is a powerful thing, especially to an inquisitive detective. With an innate sense of curiosity, these truth seeker see beyond the lies of the world, using their guile and instincts to find clues where others would falter. An inquisitive detective cannot stop their search for answers until the bitter end, expending any and every resource available to them to do so.
>Inquisitive Inspiration (Ex) At 1st level, an inquisitive detective gains the inspiration class feature of an investigator of their inquisitive detective level, using their Charisma to determine how much inspiration they possess instead of their Intelligence. They do not gain free uses of inspiration on trained Knowledge, Linguistics, and Spellcraft checks unless they take the inspired intelligence investigator talent (see below), although they cannot select the inspired vigilanteUI talent.
>This ability replaces the 1st and 11th level social talents.
>Detective Talents (Ex) At 3rd level and every 2 levels thereafter, an inquisitive detective can select an investigator talent instead of a social talent, using their Charisma modifier in place of their Intelligence modifier for the purpose of their investigator talents.

Well, first you'd have to ask, probably. I'd get all the content in one place and ask him to look it over. I have an advantage here because I still have the old playtest doc, so barring any dramatic changes I have at least a rough estimate of things. You're stuck either crossing your fingers for the release (which is likely not for a while), getting you a copy of the playtest (which might be outdated), or hoping someone like me takes pity on you and slaps everything into a pastebin for your GM to look through. Which I can and will do unless I get told to stop. Clock's ticking.

Though, the thing is: if your GM refuses to even look at it, let alone accept it, you're probably shit out of luck. Mine usually needs to be eased into things to accept them, but is otherwise fairly lenient.

Problem my GM has is he doesn't like reading over large amounts of new material. He dislikes psionics and PoW because he doesn't want to "learn the subsystem and a ton of new spells." He even has resistance to casters due to the number of different spells he'd have to learn.

>>
>>49009761
The playtest is pretty outdated for a few things, but generally the more simple archetypes are kept the same. Like I said before; you can share any playtest docs you have kept, but please don't repost the playtest doc, especially now. It's very different from what will be put out when complete, so it's not super accurate. Really, I'm sure we'll see something from it soon enough (the publisher is teasing it in a thread on Paizo, although I'm not sure which book they're teasing), so just try and be patient (yes, I know it's asking a lot), and I'm sure it'll be out soon enough.

Have them just read over the relevant parts; unlike POW and Psionics, this isn't a new system. It's just a few pieces of extra content, so piece out what you want to use and show it to them like it was normal paizo content, rather than throwing the entire doc at them.
>>
>>49009838
That might work. I have low hopes but maybe I should just find a new group.

Problem is my GM is my brother. Kind of hard to leave a game under those circumstances. It also makes it awkward when I'm the only one with 3pp material; might seem like nepotism.
>>
>>49009820
>>49009838
I have a similar doc I was going to throw at my own GM with just the relevant bits, and that was going to be what I pastebin'd for anon. Pretty sure it's pretty up-to-date, and more than half of it is already in the thread.

Do you know how hard it is to contain myself? One of my favorite concepts that I banged my head trying to homebrew for, and you stroll in and soak it all up into published content.
>>
>>49009919
Why not show it to others; if you can get your bro to accept it, it might open the way to more 3pp content at your table, and that's always aces. Once it's released, it'll be added to the Vigilante guide, which'll make it seem more legit too (I talked with the writer, I got him into 3pp publishing.)

>>49009949
Let me know how it turns out, I'm always willing to help people use my content if at all possible.

You fuckers know nothing of human reproduction or the resilience of mothers, or of women in general. My mother fucking lived through the cultural revolution and was forced to do hard labor in inner Mongolia and still had me when she was 36.
I'm fully 6' tall and healthy.
Other older friend's mothers were 40 when they had them and medical care wasn't the greatest back then.

Also Golarion has magic and clerics.

I unfortunately won't be able to use it for a while, I just figured it'd be a good thing to pastebin for the other anon. I was trying to be coy about making sure it was fine for a paste of the relevant things anon would need... Since I already knew you didn't want the entire playtest being posted and I just dumped stuff.

I intended to show my DM for a 1-on-1 game, but it turned out to be Iron Gods and I didn't feel like trying to also jury rig a way around hardness. I ended up with an Empiricist Investigator instead which was a debatable but still choice. Had I been able to convince my GM to Gestalt I would have been all over it though.
Actually right about to go start another session of that, now that I mention it.

Everything past Path of War: Expanded has been kinda "meh" and pretty much no better than other "decent but not amazing" 3pp publishers. And even then PoWE has lots of balance problems. Elemental Flux >>>>>>>>>>>>> Piercing Thunder, Tempest Gale.

Except for anything Forrest writes. Like, you can tell in the PsyWar playtest that Forrest's shit is 10000x better than any other DSP writer's.

It's still a silly idea to settle for some middle-aged broad when you've got a full selection of young hotties as an adventurer.

Besides, it's not like DMs ever present the older women as potential partners.

Which is a damn shame.

I'm suspecting that's just a 'you' thing. Folks seem pretty happy with the progression of Lords of the Wild, enthusiastic about Psionics Augmented: Occult, etc, so forth. And that's fine, there's always gonna be material that doesn't grab this section of the audience, or that one.

Wow, /pfg/ isn't dead? I'm impressed! Or mortified. I'm not sure which.

So GM is wanting us to hunt for theme music for our characters now, which is sorta funny because I was going to off-handedly ask what they may think might be suitable since I think someone with a bit of distance from my characters might be able to come up with something far more fitting than I can. But now I'm having a time trying to find reasonable theme music for Elsbeth and I fear I may have hit a wall. Suggestions?

>>49010394
So what you're saying is Forrest should exclusively make content and the others should just fuck off because they're shit writers and can't design for crap?

Psycrystal Creature should probably allow melding with constructs (other than just the clockwork spy) faster and easier than it does vegepygmies and elementals of all things!

The Implanted psicrystal isn't bad... but kind of boring. I think it might give *too much* initiative for what it loses, while also losing just a bit too much of its utility for what it grants. In other words maybe it should offer something else to go with that init, but a bit less init. The Sighted ability on it has no action (although it should probably be free) for activation, and maybe same for resistant mind: you're losing the psicrystal's actions with the implant model, which while limited, could probably at least activate their own abilities!

Psicrystal weapon: Also does it provide its own charges if someone's dumb enough to turn it into a laser torch? Can you refill it with PPs or something instead? Can it bond with ANY weapon or only also just melee? Can it really be enchanted only as melee if bonded to a ranged weapon then?

Material Mastery is completely useless: By 15th level if your weapon can't bypass those material requirements by its composition and/or enhancement bonus (by 15th probably does by both) you've obviously been disarmed of your normal weapon, but that would mean your psicrystal's been shattered for today.

Attuned Aegis Psicrystal may need an equivalent aegis level for purposes of what customizations it takes (or at least be said to have its owner's). It is probably one of the best options, but not for normal unoptimized characters: It can get very little out of this ability (what is it gonna do, try to fight? learn to breathe water?) under normal circumstances though, so it's probably meant as a hidden gem for initiators/veilweaver Aegii?

Soulknife version: YOU GUYS FORGOT THERE'S RANGED STUFF TOO AGAIN! Stop doing that, I still remember that steelforge playtest! How about just treating the psicrystal's position as an origin point for attacks?
>>
>>49001666
I like it.

Disjunction the fuck out of it, and then stab it to death just in case.

The anons were not wrong. You are in a 'nuke it from orbit' scenario, whatever comes out may or may not do so explosively, but it is beyond bad news.
>>
>>49010394
Forrest is very good at coming up with conceptually interesting ideas and generally fun things, so her work is the flashiest and has the most direct appeal to jaded people like us.

But I think what are also needed are solid, vanilla-flavored normal things.
Like in the soulknife supplement, the psychic armory got all the attention, but Augmented Blade was the real new benefit for the soulknife: standard soulknife flavor, but improved to be actually good.

Do Halo Knight/Reaver fill that role in the new playtest? Eh, not sure. But the need for things like that is there.

I agree Forrest's stuff is the best
Gareth's stuff is good too
So is that wall of text guy who did Goetic, Empath and Madman

Actually, it sounds like he did the only sane thing that could be done, ESPECIALLY as he was doing it with full knowledge and preparation for the subsequent healing.

A bit of a "80 damage isn't murder if you know damn well that's the minimum to just knock out the barbarian you're aiming for nonlethally" situation. Knowing how much power and how to apply it are important, and as gruesome as his task may have been this time, he's probably saved the bard and whatever ELSE would have been doomed.

Nay, the *CORRECT* way for the paladin to take responsibility is to apologize for having had to take away one child, and when she's properly healed up help make her a much more holy one to replace it.
>>
>>49010549
Oh, credit where it's due: I like the packmaster and that werewolf soulknife too.

Chimera Soul and the Medic are boring to me but I know there are people that like them. They're just... playing it very safe and keeping closer to the sort of design aesthetic seen in most of 1pp and for that it doesn't feel like they bring anything new to the table.
>>
>>49010542

Little late, it got stabbed to death but it turns out they pissed off lamashtu, so the elf's gotta carry a half-fiend grey render to term. Last the player said, they're going full hermit family until the kid pops her belly.

An easy way to introduce 3PP is in small quantities. Classes and archetypes are very large and in-your-face about the changes, but there are plenty of feats and spells that aren't very OP or anything. Make little suggestions here and there befitting other players' concepts, or find spells that are very handy for the party that aren't offensive (3PP buffs aren't too common, and most suck, but... I'm sure there are some decent ones out there).

>>49007223
Shouldn't the character's own fucking deity be preventing this bullshit? What the fuck happened to non-interference?

This is Iomedae's trumpets session all over.

The answer for your party is thus clear: The gods must die. Very, Very violently.

I think the only exception is if their god changed it from a fiend to a good aligned outsider or something. Maybe if they're trapped or something.

While spellcasters can call upon said powers to put down curses, deities themselves cursing an enemy god's followers for being enemies is exactly the kind of thing that's supposed to be prevented.

Reason is simple: There's fucking nothing stopping anyone else from doing the same to your worshipers. ANY god can wipe out all the worshipers of every other god they're enemies with, the worshipers can't do fuck all.

It won't be long that worshipers either die or stop being so, knowing their gods offer *nothing* yet demand everything.

>>49011214
I agree but a good could get a pass if they get in touch with the victim later and are like "hey, so that happened but don't worry
I hijacked their major act with a minor act and I'll make it up to you for bearing me a servant" but even that's iffy.
>>
>>49011286
The enemy god apologizing? Fat chance there.

Plus, the only ones getting anything good out of it in that scenario are the enemy god, and your asshole opportunist of a deity that decided they'd at least get something out of you at the same time.

That's not reparations, that's reasons for ghandi to launch everything he has (he IS a bit of a warmonger)

>Sorry about that, you still alive? I was busy not giving a fuck about you. Don't you feel great about all this now?

How's that deserve a pass?

Friendly god apologizing, it's just enough to not warrant murdering that god. Killing the other and removing the divine spark from the friendly one on the other hand would be a must.

The thing about hit rate and Power Attack is that high-BAB and mid-BAB classes can equip the same weapons no problem. The only inherent difference between them in combat is just that: BAB.
What does Power Attack's penalty scale by? BAB. High-BAB classes have more to lose, so they lose more.
