Hey guys newb question. When i wildshape as a druid do I use my stats plus the bonus or the aninals?

>>49295770
Nah, we could just be posting about pathfinder instead.

Reposting my medium rebuild because why not? I like the Medium's concept and at this point I would love more support for it. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QwizRjfkg0inFpMqG22lHdIcIRt9glXY_SyAdFJv-wU/edit?usp=drive_web

What I'm thinking of doing

>increased caster level when channeling Hierophant/Archmage
>Get something like toughness when channeling the Champion (d10 HD I guess?) And the Guardian (enough to put you on the equivalent of a d12 HD.)
>Martial Flexibility, except you pick your feats when you channel a spirit, and youre limited to crafting/metamagic feats when using the Archmage/Hierophant, combat feats when changeling the Guardian/Champion, and some other category of feat when channeling the marshal/trickster.

Anybody else got ideas for it? Should I be a chucklefuck and give it an initiating archetype too?

>>49295799
For Pathfinder: Wildshape works like the spells Beast Shape. So if you turn into a Small animal you get a +2 Dexterity bonus and don't change any other stats (even if you're "shrinking" from Medium to Small), and if you turn into a Medium animal you get a +2 Strength bonus. This is a change from 3.5, where you simply used the animal's attributes (which was fucking busted and is one of the key reason why Druids outclassed Fighters in every possible way).

Well, if you have 3pp available, Warder is a solid class for it. The Stupendous Strength feat also helps a shitload.

1pp, the only way to do it right is the Mobile Bulwark Style feats, and they don't justify the loss of DPR

I'm not sure I'm really getting the point of the Pyschic, or really most aspects of occult classes in general (except occultist, which is actually pretty damn cool and flavorful while also not sucking horse cocks like the kineticist).

>Psychic is just a sorcerer with a bunch of x/day abilities that will mostly go unused, and whose sole usefulness (0-9) psychic spellcasting is usurped by a sorcerer bloodline that can also be usurped by the arcanist to become a 0-9 PREPARED psychic spellcaster

>What makes it better than sword+shield?

If for no other reason, taking weapon focus or specialization makes a lot more sense when using only one type of weapon

>>49295854
Jesus that's crazy.

>>49296116
There's a set of shield feats that allow you to treat your shield as a weapon INCLUDING any enhancement bonus, which reduces the cost of a second weapon bonus that always gimps TWF just as bad as things with DR.

>>49296134
Thanks, I'll look into it

>>49296164
I see. Maybe I'll combine the suggestions and try a Shield+Shield Warder.

What's the best class/race to play as a maid/butler/servant? One of the other player characters is the filthy rich son of some noble family who is off adventuring for shits and giggles, and I thought it might be fun for my character to be the loyal servant his family sent along to keep an eye on him and help keep him out of trouble.

>>49296254
Look up Gonzo 2.

It has the Battle Butler class.

I'm fairly sure it's in the Trove.

>>49296158
Mesmerist and Summoner actually have usefulness though. A Bard is more of a buffer, while a Mesmerist is solidly a debuffer; having both in the party is exponentially-better than one or the other. A Spiritualist is more balanced, flavorful, and thematic than a Summoner; yes it's weaker, but that's like saying an Inquisitor is weaker than a Cleric.

>>49296222
Warder, for the record, is base Path of War, and only of the only ways to play a heavily armored character effectively.

Stupendous Strength is from DSP as well, and is in their Savage Races monster class book. Or you could just use pic related, since it's a screencap from my copy of the pdf.

>>49296158

I don't like the Psychic, personally

However, the Mesmerist is like the Bard, but instead of buffing your allies, you pile on debuffs on a single target by staring at them so hard they can't attack, can't hit hard, are more susceptible to your spells, and take damage when you hit them.

The Spiritualist has a lot more flavor than the chained summoner, and compares to the unchained summoner in terms of flavor.

The Medium makes a great dip for Martial characters. All you lose is one point of BaB, but you get a +1 to-hit, +3 to damage, and a few other benefits, like exotic weapon proficiency that you can change out every day.

The Kineticist is the only one I agree with you on. It's shit.

The Occultist is the coolest, by far, too. Gestalt a battle host one with a Bladebound/kensai magus and get yourself a sword that wrecks face, a shitton of SLAs, and massive Int synergy

>>49296254

That really depends on how seriously you want to take the character.

>>49296254
This was in a horribly weeb campaign, but as a wandering entitled prince of a tian house, I had a great campaign playing a 'humble servant' who was in fact, the most certifiably badass ninja the group had seen, and when I finally had to blow my cover and break the group out of prison, it was a glorious moment.

>>49296296
Does this feat let you dual wield a reach weapon and a non-reach weapon to threaten everything within 10 feet?

If so, that's incredible.

I'm looking for a campaign setting that doesn't follow the generic fantasy mold. Something with magic-based technology, steampunk aesthetics and space opera. Basically a cross between Eberron and Spelljammer and maybe Planescape.

>>49296471
You like it,I don't. I think my main issue with it is many of the classes (henshin hero, magical girl, sparkle princess, croupier spring to mind) only really seem to fit in VERY SPECIFIC campaigns, where the party would mostly be comprised of that class.

>>49296504
>doesn't follow the generic fantasy mold

Yeah, flavor concerns are definitely an issue with this. I think most of the classes people would actually want to play can get by with some refluffing, though.

>>49295850
D10 is just +1 he per medium level and +2 for a d12. (A summing medium is d8.)

>>49296549

Im on mobile at the moment. Thanks. Medium is d8, so when channeling the Champion, you get +1 HP per medium level. When channeling the Guardian, you get +2 HP per medium level. That should make you as tough as a Fighter/Barbarian respectively

Evening /pfg/

I would like to know if I need the feat Two-Weapon Fighting if I want to wear two weapons, but only attack with one each round.

I had an idea for a character that wields a shortspear on one hand and a sword on the other so I can threaten up to 10 ft around me, but I don't actually want two-weapon fighting because I wouldn't actually get much use from it.

The feat's description says it's for attacking with both weapons at the same time, but I am unsure if the normal penalties apply even if I don't actually attack with both weapons at once.

>>49296513
The book was designed at the outset to be wierd. It's for games that aren't necessarily in the standard 'ye olde fantasye' setting.

>>49296624
Well, I guess the wierdness is just too much for me.

>>49295588
You're not me

>>49296618
Shortspear doesn't have reach.

>>49296618
You ONLY take the TWF penalties if you're using them to get more attacks during a full attack.

That's the ONLY time.

Even if you use both at the same time in a full attack, if you don't take that extra attack, you don't take the penalties.

>>49296513
Dude, you might not have realized it yet, but... um, you may in fact actually hate fun. Like, it's no longer a mockery like the earlier anon's comment but a legitimate worry.

You shouldn't be feeling anywhere this uninspired by like.... anything.

Which of the pacts plays into your particular fetish, /pfg/?

>>49296651

Would a trident have reach? srd said range 20ft but I guess they meant thrown range.
Another option would be plain old spears but those are 2 handed.

>>49296663

So theoretically I could attack with both weapons, one at a time, if I had the BAB to attack more than once?

as a non-3pp rogue, unchained or otherwise, how do i get sneak attacks on a bow and still have enough actions left to full attack? Moonlight Stalker feint + Feint from the Shadows seems to be the only real way.

>>49296718
Correct. If you had 4 attacks, you could sword/spear/sword/spear without taking the twf penalties.

/pfg/, what's the best way to build a magical gun user? Preferably compatible with muskets and an Empty Quiver Build.

Yes, I know it's not optimal, but our campaign doesn't really need optimal builds and I've always wanted to try this.

>>49296029
Just give it a niche that actually does something. It doesn't need to be the best niche, it just needs to avoid being strictly comparable to something else. No "take X investment to do the same job as something else" bullshit.

>>49296797
Eldritch Archer. Proficiency you'll have to either be human and swallow a feat on, or be half-elf and take Ancestral arms. But after that, it's the best spell-slinger archetype around. Also depending how you interpret the wording, Empty Quiver Flexibility may allow you to deliver spellstrikes through your melee rifle butt attacks

>>49296718
>Would a trident have reach? srd said range 20ft but I guess they meant thrown range.
The special field in the weapons table shows whether it has reach or not. To my knowledge, whip is the only reach weapon that can normally be wielded one-handed.

So my GM is letting me use the Necrologist and Fractured Mind spiritualist archetypes at the same time. What Emotional Power spells would work best for a Necrologist in this case?

>>49296718
Thrown range, yes. Melee is either "adjacent" or "reach" with an additional 5 ft but you can't hit things next to you. The only weapon with reach and not 2-handed is the whip, which sucks for a variety of reasons, like needing a pile of feats to even damage enemies or do tricks that will be quickly outclassed by enemy defenses that scale all out of whack to your skill.

You are completely out of touch with reality.

Eberron, Spelljammer and Planescape are not popular and are not supported by WotC. They're extremely niche and have a cult following for not being generic tolkien clones. Yet most players seem to prefer generic drek like forgotten realms and golarion.

>>49297051
Your point? If you're doing that you may as well fork over the extra 35 gold for a greatsword. That's not a lot, even at level 1.

>>49296979
True, falcata and even falchions can do pretty well.

>>49296988
Damage dice are meaningless once you start getting some modifiers, and 2handers get bonuses to those modifiers that one handed weapons don't. Supposedly carrying a shield would make up for it by buffing defense... but it doesn't for a variety of reasons.

>>49296988
For the sake of argument, let's run a couple of numbers. Assuming 18 Str:

The Longsword's average damage (Non-two handed) is 8.5. (4.5 from dice + 4 from Str)

The greatsword's average damage on the same character is 13 (7 from dice + 6 from Str)

You could use a Longsword two handed, but then you're just purposefully using a weapon functionally identical to the Greatsword, but with a worse damage die.

And purposefully nerfing yourself is a bad idea.

>>49296897

I originally wanted a spear user that could actually attack stuff in front of him without having to 5ft step.

I really liked the concept of having this brute capable of dual wielding big weapons, but I guess monkey grip isn't a thing outside videogames.

>>49297089
>And purposefully nerfing yourself is a bad idea.

What if I want to play a character that uses a shield? Let's argue it's for fluff reasons, like the character is a viking-type or the shield's been passed down for generations or even you want the thematic "protector" look going on for them.

Of course Planescape isn't supported by WotC. It's a 22 year old setting, and it's not as popular as FR. That doesn't mean it's some 'cult' setting. It's been very popular and long lasting.

As for Eberron, now you're the one out of touch with reality. WotC released an Eberron supplement for 5E. They have their latest product supporting the setting.

You don't seem to get what popularity means. Eberron gets minimal support because it is barely profitable and nowhere near as popular as FR. If the other settings were popular as you say, then it would be profitable to make books for them.

It's not. All the people you think like them are really a tiny cult following.

Honestly, I don't see the problem here. As long as she's not romantically interested in someone the character should be quite tolerable as a stabby noblewoman who can turn into gas.

Lemme write up a mini-guide for ya on how I do it.
Step 1: open GIMP or any equivalent. Basically any proper image editor, not mspaint.
Step 2: open the image you want, duplicate the layer with it so you have two exactly same layers.
Step 3: add alpha channel to both layers.
Step 4: on one of the layers, cut out the circular base of the token and delete everything around it, draw the circular border itself right there.
Step 5: on the other layer, make a precise selection of elements you want to poke out, invert selection, delete everything around it.
Step 6: put these layers on top of each other in the correct order (pokey out elements above the circle)
Step 7: enjoy

so /pdf/ I am currently in a campaign with some friends however I hate every session. I would stop playing however it is a group of 3 so without me they wouldn't want to continue playing with only 2 people. Should I just keep playing so they have a good time or forget about it and just stop showing up.

So one of my players wants to make a half giant, half Fae character so that he's Fae size but allowed to use weapons a giant could use.

How do I tell him to fuck off?

>>49297403

I'm not saying she's intolerable, I'm saying I should bully her.

>So one of my players wants to make a half giant, half Fae character so that he's Fae size but allowed to use weapons a giant could use.

So what? The character would be Tiny and yet able to used weapons one size larger (Small)? I don't know about the templates or stats but that doesn't sound terribly broken to me off hand.

>>49298081
Maybe find another person to join so you can drop out and still leave them with 3?

>>49298090
'Fae' isn't a size.

He could be half fae and half giant, but 'fae' doesn't imply a size whereas giant does. So he'd just be big.

>>49298090
Point out that Fey are a large group of creatures, and not all of them are small?

Point out that a giant and a pixie aren't really compatible for very obvious reasons?

"Fuck off"?

>>49298081
You should keep showing up, but start acting like an asshole to ensure that everyone else hates each session as much as you do.

Since when do giants even get to wield weapons too large for them? They wield big weapons because they're BIG THEMSELVES.

>>49298200
If the guy is arguing that he's an idiot.

>Powerful Build: The physical stature of half-giants lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger. Whenever a half-giant is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for a Combat Maneuver Bonus or Combat Maneuver Defense (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the half-giant is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. A half-giant is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature's special attacks based on size (such as grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A half-giant can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefts of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject's size category.

That's what half-giants get. It doesn't say they can swing large weapons, just weapons one size category larger than they could normally use. So if the half-giant were tiny he'd be able to swing around small weapons.

>>49297840
Despite what these assholes say, there's machineguns in the "modern weapons" section (rasputin must die) of the game, though the only "missiles" are the tech rocket launcher, and all tech weapons were deliberately designed to be worse than crossbows in most ways.

I say MOST, because there... ARE a few special alternatives like the warsoul who can get around some of the barriers to entry.

Honestly though your best bet is if you're allowed 3.5 stuff and use that power of cybernetics homebrew, which is incarnum except better designed, better balanced, and puts the akashic stuff to fucking shame.

>>49298691
Just to point out, "this shit doesn't exist in pathfinder" is often heard on other forums, but pathfinder has crashed spaceships, aliens, robot spiders with lasers, plasma scorpions and portals to WW1 Earth with tanks and all.

Much like the original D&D, "that's not part of the fantasy" is a fucking lie.

Where's the benefit on using your natural weapons on Flurry of blows?

>>49298651
That Dante Must Die needs to exclude Initiators.

>>49298741
Natural weapons can have different damage types, or special effects on hit like grab or poison.

If your natural weapon is poisoned, you can normally only hit someone with it once a round, whereas with flurry, you could hit them with poison scads of times.

Cheating a bit on DMD mode, but the best NPC villain I ever ran was a human 'god blade', which was basically me cheating with an initiator to give them access to all schools (TOB, not PoW), as well as an innate dead magic zone around them (which dead magic zones in 3.5 didn't work like antimagic and still allowed SU abilities, or at least that was the rules we had found), making someone with just SU abilities actually pretty nice for a group with weak system mastery like we had back then.

Good old Veral St. Cross was a true adversary to the party, and eventually I'd like to update them to PF with POW, even if they broke a few rules to be awesome.

Would a Halfling Ninja count as a Martial? She was, perhaps, the only antagonist I have ever thrown at my player who sent them flying into a legitimate panic every time she showed up. Every time the party fought her, she kicked their shit in, half of the time not even using the bullshit items she had prepared to use against them (such as her Spellstoring Ring that held a timestop).

First Fight? They were incapacitated for weeks as they tried to cure the Con-drain poison she used against them.

Second Fight? She Invisible Blade sneak attacked half of them into the negatives before they had a chance to retaliate.

Third Fight? They chugged their See Invisibility potions... but couldn't pierce her Hellcat Stealth, and got sneak-attacked to death while trying to run away.

Fourth Fight wasn't really a fight. A player new to the party thought it would be amusing to say "And why should we listen to your pint sized whore ass?" and got his ass assassinated during a parlay they had arranged with her.

Fifth Fight was her last, and it was a pyrrhic victory for the party, as it was 5 on 1 and she had dropped everyone but the investigator. He got 2 crits against her with his Revolver, the first of which she deflected arrows, but the second of which dropped her to the single digits. She ran off to lick her wounds, leaving him to drag the party out of a burning building.

At that point, she and her husband, a mid level bureaucrat in the Imperial Government and mastermind behind the conspiracy the party was slowly unraveling, decided to cut their losses and eliminate everyone who knew they were involved. Which was maybe half a dozen people, mostly the CEOs of some Alchemical Corporations. The campaign ended with the two of them drinking frozen drinks on the shores of the Ninja's ancestral home, while the party brought enough evidence to the cops to break up nearly twenty seven major corporations for illegal experimentation on humanoid life.

All 1PP material is allowed, I chose a Half-Elf Draconic Bloodline Sorcereress, which I plan to take to Dragon Disciple at level 6.

Something similar happened to me and turned out I was bored with the character, not with the campaign. I recommend you to retire it and try something else.

How suited would you say Pathfinder is for horror one-shots? To kick off my own personal month of horrors I'm planning on running a spooky one-shot with some friends visiting from out of town, and we decided to use Pathfinder as our system (because that and Dungeon World are pretty much all we know). However, given previous runs of Pathfinder I'm concerned that the system isn't designed for the kind of horror I'm going for.

The basic premise is supposed to be a very Lovecraft-esque premise, with combat being less important that evading a nightmare shadow that cannot be fought (at least not for most of the run). I like this idea greatly, but whenever I look at Pathfinder I get the impression it's more geared towards a "KILL ALLA ZOMBIEZ" style of horror where the players aren't allowed to ever feel actually powerless. Since I'm relatively new to GMing as a whole, I was hoping to get some input before I go too far planning.

The only reason we're not using Call of Cthulhu is because nobody wants to learn a new system for a one-off campaign

My GM doesn't allow traits (not even with additional traits feat).

Is there a way to raise caster level if I multiclass? Was going to play Winter Witch but the prestige class make me lost 1 caster level.

>>49299556
Tell the group that you're not having fun anymore? A reasonable GM and group would let you switch or take a break.

>>49300286
Dragon Disciple is generally a downgrade for Sorcerers - you're giving up spellcasting prowess in exchange for higher strength, dex and con, but you shouldn't be running up and smacking things with your staff anyway. This hurts for Sorcerers even more since you're already a half-spell level behind wizards. Being a full level behind (they're casting 5th level spells when you just start casting 4th level spells) really hurts.

If you're absolutely dead set on Dragon Disciple, don't go past 4th level. Personally though I think you're better off not bothering with a prestige class and just sticking with Sorcerer the whole way.

>>49300304
Pathfinder is just a system and can work. Just be careful with what classes people are playing - if the PC's decide to just teleport the fuck off, or if the Necromancer starts spamming Control Dead, your players might not find the game too spooky.

>>49300304

>>49300356
If I go Draconic Sorcerer without the DD, do I still get all the cool half-dragon stuff later on?

>>49300286
You need magical knack trait, that's for sure.

>>49300421
If you really want to smash face with DD, go Bloodrager

>>49300286

>>49300433
In reference to Magical Knack, what's a trait bonus and how does it work in practise?

I can't cast spells of a higher level than my character level anyway can I? And won't my hit dice always be the same as my character level?

>>49296716
I don't have the book yet to really dig through it,but I do have a fondness for Damian Darkstar, and Rasputin the carnival magician.

>>49300421
The Draconic Sorcerer gets claws, wings, a breath weapon, energy resistance, plus all the various Form of the Dragon spells.

Again, 4 levels in Dragon Disciple because the hit dice (d12) is pretty damn nice and the natural armor isn't bad.

The other benefits of the Dragon Disciple are generally useless. The +4 strength is worthless, the extra use of Breath Weapon is probably worthless, and you shouldn't be using the bite.

If you want to play a melee dragon-dude who tears us shit with claws and a bite and sometimes casts spells, then play a Draconic Bloodrager -> Dragon Disciple - the synergy is much better than Sorcerer -> Dragon Disciple.

>>49300540
What does 4 levels get me? Sounding like that'll be the better option for me

>>49300560
In that post I literally just typed out the benefits you will get from 4 levels. The loss of 1 level of spellcasting in exchange for better hit dice, +2 natural armor, and everything else is kind of useless.

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/prestige-classes/core-rulebook/dragon-disciple

>>49300540
Didn't dragon bloodrager not count for the purpose of DD advancing it? Since it's not a sorcerer bloodline, it's a bloodrager bloodline?

Honestly, the only thing that shits DD down the toilet for Sorcs is the Sorc's poor BAB. If they were 3/4 BAB (LIke say, motherfucking Clerics), then it'd be fairly solid. You wouldn't need quite so much BAB to do alright in melee since you'd be mostly natural attacks.

Now I think about it, 3/4 BAB for sorcerers probably wouldn't go down terribly anyway.

>>49300519
Trait bonus is just a type of bonus (example of other type: morale,luck,race,sacred etc.), bonus of the same type usually doesn't stack, only the higher apply.

Magical knack wouldn't help you if you're a pure Sorcerer, but Dragon Disciple doesn't progress your spell casting at level 1,5 and 6. Which mean you lost 3 caster level.

Sorcerer 6 / DD 6 without Magical Knack = 10 caster level.

Sorcerer 6 / DD 6 with Magical Knack = 12 caster level.
Dragon Disciple lost several caster level.

>>49300591
They count. There is already a faqs for that. Get on the the time, old man.

>>49300670
Oh my bad, I thought DD rose caster level too, thanks

I'll talk to my GM about it at least, but it's less "I don't like my character and don't want to play them" and more "the things he can do, the new guy can do better and more frequently". I guess I still have magic item crafting, but that would require downtime, and a party that cooperates and tells me what they want me to make them.

I should have just played a regular alchemist. No matter how much I adore the Promethean/Preservationist memebuild, it was dead in the water the second the new guy was allowed to bring a summoner.

>>49296618 Here

I opted for dropping the sword, and instead taking the spear and swapping between them.

Figured I'd get quick draw, and switch to a short range weapon if necessary.

Now, planning for he future, I was wondering what weapon set from the Fighter's Advanced Weapon Training I should focus on.

I'm torn between Spears (With Longspear for 10ft, Spear for 5ft and Javelins for ranged combat) or Polearms (With a Bardiche and a Halberd for cool points). Polearms fits what I originally wanted better, but spears would be more versatile since I could theoretically throw javelins quickly thanks to quick draw. Like with a quiver but filled with javelins. Polearms also has all the cool weapons like the Lucerne or the Glaive-Guisarme.

Which would you think would be a better choice? Are javelins worth the lamer set of weapons to focus on?

On a side note, the feat Lightning Swap from PoW, it says "You may draw or put away a weapon as a free action. You cannot make more weapon swaps per round than your Dexterity modifier."

Am I to understand I can holster one weapon and draw another with a single simple action? First sentence implies not, but the second makes me think think I could, otherwise why limit the amount of times I can actually do it per round?

Ask your DM to allow you to upgrade your homunculus via craft construct rules or to get class levels. (cant be that much stronger than getting a cohort)

In my experience gms that accept summoners are like girls with tatoos: they will do pretty much anything you ask them to.

Quick Draw only lets you DRAW weapons as a Free.

You still have to put them away as a Move, OR drop them as a free, but then to pick them up is another action which provokes AoOs.

Hello, all. Update to the Spellburst Savant, which is mostly just typo fixes... And an OGL section and new cover. After putting some thought into my work, my spare time, and what I want to do right now, I've decided to open a Patreon page, which can be found here:

https://www.patreon.com/forrestfirestudios

I'm going to be making more homebrew/3pp on my own as time goes on, using this page as a hub for it. There's more details on exactly how this will work on the page itself, but the big things to note:

>The stuff I write will all be represented in PDFs like the Spellburst Savant
>These PDFs will be available to anyone to look at/use/feedback on, not just Patreon patrons
>DSP has their eye on my work to pick up and publish things they like, but otherwise, I'm going to be publishing them myself once I think a given project is ready
>There's a list of upcoming projects that I'm tossing around on the Patreon page. Patrons get to vote on which I write in a given month.
>It's monthly, not per-release. I'm confident that I'll be able to write up at least one thing like the Spellburst Savant's PDF each month. Sometimes they'll be smaller, sometimes they'll be bigger, sometimes it'll end up half-written and another project picked up if I have major writer's block, it'll still happen.

NOW. As I've set up some new drive stuff just for this, the permanent link to the Spellburst Savant has changed:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5HkyGRtGZy3T3lfQThtVDRkMU0?usp=sharing

This link (also on the Patreon page) will take you to a Google Drive folder that I'll be storing my projects in, and keeping the PDFs updated.

Thanks for your time.

>>49301206
You could always go the reach weapon and spiked gaunlet route. That'd allow threatening at least, and you could still two-hand all without needing quickdraw

>>49301358
So, how's this going to affect your relationship with DSP?

>>49301391
They put me in a skirt & short top with some pom-poms and a cheer script for her.

My relationship with DSP is unchanged. Right now, I'm taking an extended leave because of personal life reasons, but they want me back when I get the chance to return.

If/When I have the ability to work actively with DSP again, this will remain a thing in order for me to write and publish ideas that don't fit into DSP's established paradigm.

>>49301366
No reason not to do both. I actually liked the quick draw approach.

>>49301293

Ok, but can I actually swap weapons entirely with a single simple action if I get Lightning Swap? That's what I want to know.

Is there any way to avoid the AOO inherant to using an Alchemist Bomb? There's another for throwing in melee, but if an enemy has 15+ reach it can make it impossible to effectively use that feature in an enclosed area.

Would some kind of Bombing Defensively be viable?

>>49301440
If I recall, Lightning Swap is the shittier of two feats that let you do that.

What you actually want is Mixed Combat. It doesn't require 15 dex and doesn't have a limit on the number of swaps.

So, I have a stupid question about Aegis.

Can we have different customizations for all his suits, or does he have the same customizations no matter what suit he has?

>>49301206
If third party is indeed an option, Mixed Combat does everything Lightning Swap does without the stupid restriction, and stops it from provoking.

>>49301358
Wow, this looks pretty impressive! Reading now. The first thing that comes to mind is that, even though they do grow to be quite different with different strengths, at 1st and 2nd levels it does everything a Wizard does, with higher hit die, Reflex save, etc. Am I wrong there?

>>49301448
Breath Weapon Bomb?

It specifically doesn't provoke an AoO like normal bombing does, and isn't a ranged attack, so it doesn't provoke there either.

Despite having written what is arguably the most popular guide in pathfinder for the Alchemist, when making an Alchemist, I have to resort back to said guide.

My memory is terrible.

>>49301435
>write and publish ideas that don't fit into DSP's established paradigm.

But this is your best work.

Granted, calling it homebrew and then rebranding it way later is pretty shitty, but still.

The Construct rules thing might be a hard sell, but I could probably slip at least a few upgrades off it without pissing anyone off. That would require downtime to do, though, and that's been a bit scarce. I got a few custom discoveries okayed, but they've been a little underwhelming, and getting the GM to look at more has proven kind of frustrating.

The class levels thing I should be able to get, though. Especially since the summoner is also yanking Leadership out from under me. If I get that greenlit, what would be a good way to rule it? Should I also just be extremely simple and go for a Mutation Warrior Fighter?

>>49301561
Well it is from psionics, which is still DSP.

And they're basically the same fucking feat, except Mixed Combat is slightly less shit.

>>49301528
It's almost as though writing is a better storage device for essentially random information than your brain's relativistic storage system.

Go figure.

Probably not fucking tomorrow either.

>>49301579

Yeah I don't have any defense for that. It was homebrew and the homebrew versions will be floating around forever now, but such is life.

>>49301556
I was thinking initiating antipaladin at some point, though I don't have any good ideas for it yet and want to focus on other things for now.

>>49300741
What people want is the playtest medium, with all 54 spirits. Seifter had all of them ready to go, Paizo doesn't want to release them.

If you really want to homebrew anything for the medium, go over the playtest thread for clues and trie to recreate the missing spirits. The man who does that will be achieve fleeting internet fame, like ertw and his beguiler conversion.

>>49301435
All right, that's what I wanted to know. Hope things get better for you, and I'll be supporting you until then!

>I have to resort back to said guide.

As in, your memory isn't terrible. It's pretty normal considering how much shit there is in the guide. Actually memorizing all of it would require significantly more effort than writing it down in the first place.

>>49301601
In the future, don't actively deceive people, unless you mean to say that you didn't have the idea of publishing it at first, which is possible but, considering the place we're in, fairly unlikely to me. It wouldn't be the first scummy thing a publishing company's done.

I'm look at you, TSR.

Also.
>initiating antipaladin

I talked to Gareth about this back when LotN was in playtesting. I was looking at the Paladin archetype for inspiration, but as I looked through the features, it's... Well, there isn't really a whole lot that you can simply reverse. Base Antipaladin features are pretty much just "take the Paladin and make everything backwards". Mercies become debuffs, lay on hands becomes damage, smiting Evil becomes smiting Good, you get an EEEVIL pony instead of a shiny one, and so forth.

But the only discipline with a direct opposite is Silver Crane, and that's Black Seraph. And then there's Eternal Guardian which doesn't seem to know if it's Neutral or Evil considering how it uses Intimidate and curses. Then the rest of the disciplines are pretty much all alignment agnostic, and entirely on purpose, because a means of stabbing a dude /usually/ doesn't care about the morality of who you stab or why you're stabbing them. It's a stab method, as neutral as the sword you're stabbing with.

If I was going to have one key initiating Antipaladin feature, it would probably be a means of overcoming immunity to Fear effects, probably at level 4 so it's outside of the usual dipping range. Dread/Antipaladin would still be workable, I guess, but if you heavily emphasize Black Seraph and allow them to shove their Cruelties onto the end of Strikes they make, it could be good I guess.

>>49301652
>Seifter had all of them ready to go, Paizo doesn't want to release them.
This makes me mad on an altogether unreasonable level.
We could have had a unique, flavorful class that no two people would play the same way. Instead we got a watered down crappy version pumped out because of precious pagecount and it was taken up with shit with like the psychic and the wasted potential of the kineticist.

That is honestly what happened. This patreon was something that a couple friends encouraged me to get, and it hadn't occurred to me at all up until then. I was also under the impression that it wouldn't fit well at all in DSP's lineup at the time.

I'll try that, but keep in mind, I'm going to be making it a bit simpler and less esoteric (because the more I read over the Playtest Medium, the more of a clusterfuck the rules seem desu), but HOPEFULLY just as customizable. If you've got a link to the playtest threads, that would be great.

What I'm aiming for is there being six "Big Spirits" which are the mythic paths. Then there are "Associated Spirits" which are like all of the Playtest spirits. Big Spirits give you four powers at the Medium's pregression, Associated Spirits give you three powers at a slightly slower progression.

That sound alright to you two?

Yeah, really not sure what to say, there. The Roil Dancer was 100% homebrew up until Gareth and Bossman Viking went "hey, let's publish this."

The Spellburst Savant was the same up until people raised the idea of getting a Patreon.

It's a bit awkward, but at least now with this stuff it'll be completely clear that this is material that will eventually be published in some form.

Forrest, you need to include all the anime. At the same time. Also good luck with what you're doing, it'll be cool to see what you come up with on your own!

For those of you who've picked up Legendary Vigilantes, some archetypes were moved to other books (no, we didn't lose investigative detective and trickshot sniper), those are being included in different books, so they're not dead.

I'd cry every tear if I lost Trickshot Sniper.

I noticed there's a rogue archetype that trades off some sneak attack and some rogue tricks to get magus-style spellcasting. Is there an archetype that does something similar for monks, giving them the ability to cast spells (and not the Quiggong archetype, I'm talking actual spellcasting).

>>49301971

Archer Paladin Homunculus of justice.
I tried to do that because My promethean alchemist was an NPC pot seller that didn't had any interest in becoming an adventurer, but his childhood friend paladin got killed and thus he used his blood to create an homunculus as goldfish replacement of sorts.

Nigga just use a conductive bow + missile discovery to do 2 bombs at 100 feet.

Does an Eidolon's Max Attacks limit apply to types of attacks or total number of attacks available?

For example, a level 6 Summoner's Eidolon can have up to 4 attacks. Does this mean the Eidolon can't have 2 Claws, a Bite, and 2 Wing Buffets, or is that alright because it's only three types of attack?

>>49302115
I've never seen a single DM, /pfg/ or otherwise, who actually enforces kitsune-as-furries. Yokai is just codifying what basically every DM ever has arrived at independantly.

Yeah, it was probably unconsciously writing them as waifubait. The wave of shitposting that followed it was hilarious, if I'm gonna be 100% honest. Really though, it's odd to think about, since I just don't really /get/ the waifu stuff. Y'all remain really alien to me.

A waifu is like that but without ever realizing what a piece of crap she is because you cant never actually meet her in real life.

The Bombs ability is not itself a touch attack, but an ability which gives you a splash weapon (Which is a touch attack)
