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

Quick, justify the alignment you wrote down for your non-paladin character!

Paging Gareth.

The return of the Stalking Ghoul question: https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/44704993/#44709264

You said before that the combo works. So you can loop Stalking Ghoul and stay hidden even while in line of sight of an enemy.

How can this be true if Systems and Use says this?

Does the Protection from Evil Su from the Holy Creature template protect the creature from intimidation / demoralize from evil creatures? It reads as follows :

"A holy creature gains a +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus on saves against attacks by evil creatures. Furthermore, it is immune to any attempt by an evil creature to possess, charm, or influence it."

Okay, ya'll like Pokemon right? Of course you do, everyone likes Pokemon.

So here's a fun thought experiment. Take the last Pokemon team you really played with and had fun with. Now, imagine and rebuild them as a PF Party, with each member translated to the most appropriate class type.

Hard Mode: Make a basic character and personality outline, and reason for adventuring, based on their Nature and the small personality blurb that they had in their summary for each one.

>Charizard (MegaX, Sweeper)
Draconic Bloodrager. Having grown largely derided due to being less of a barbarian than his fellows, when his capacity to channel the supernatural appeared, he decided to leave the place to go prove everyone that he's just as mighty a warrior. Has ever since grown into the role of the party leader as he's the one that brings cohesion to the group
>Tyranitar (Bulky Sweeper)
Primal Disciple Barbarian. Charizard's childhood rival, he decided to accompany him under the excuse of 'you totally need someone to make sure you don't get in too much trouble'
>Gallade (Sweeper)
Pathwalker Psywar/Awakened Blade. He comes from the opposite situation of Charizard's. Being born less of a psion in a long line of manifesters, he set out to prove that he could compensate his lack of mental might with blade skills. He and Charizard constantly help each other develop new techniques.
>Lapras (Bulky Sweeper)
Warsoul/Psyarm Soulknife. Team Mom, a retired veteran that had requested the trio's help, she decided that them all needed a voice that wasn't "if talking doesn't work immediately, violence it is". That being said, she packs a bunch of high power offensive moves herself.
>Crobat (Support)
Investigator. While mostly self-interested as a mercenary, after having been picked up by the group for a mission that needed some stealth, found himself quite at home given the overall friendliness of them all. Not that he would admit it.
>Noivern (Sweeper)
Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer. A traveler from distant lands, when seeing how Charizard applied the draconic blood that had quite similar effects to noticeably different ways of combat, decided to tag along to further study the bloodrager.

From Pokemon Emerald, from a long time ago (Hasn't played in a long time).

My Butterfry- Rogue. Straight rogue, no archetypes, the poor thing. Barely was any use at the end.
Blaziken: Str based magus, maybe Armorist.
Ludicolo: The Party Bard. Because he's rather silly.
Gardevoir: Incanter with a focus on the Mind sphere. Maybe Mesmerist.
Shedinja: Highly optimised tank- Very well designed, but also nearly worthless.
Rayquaza: Grey Elf Wizard with free 2LA Gish. Or literal air elemental.

My sacred shield paladin.

She was a literal choir girl at the local chapel before it burned down. She became a "missionary" and in the process a paladin. She was super naive, with ridiculous charisma and a perform: sing score in the realm of ridiculous. She would sing songs for the party as they traveled and stuff.

Mechanically, she was all AC and no damage, and took a group of feats and skills that let her give AC to all her allies. Anyone standing within 10' of her basically got between +5 and +10 AC or something, and she could use immediates to interpose herself between an enemy strike and an ally, taking the damage herself.

There was an anon earlier this week that discovered 2hu's name on Myth-Weavers and, after looking through her posts, began obsessing over perceived "purple prose" and "wrong ways to play" and posting evidence of this all over /pfg/.

So I have been doing some more writing for Book of Woes, the proposed mythic campaign.

I have a few questions to ask /pfg/.

How ok are you with planar travel being essentially non-existent?

How ok are you with getting rid of Good/Evil outsiders all together in favor of just Lawful/Chaotic ones, and having Law vs. Chaos being the main extraplanar chaos rather than Good vs. Evil?

Is mythic in the style where mythic sparks can only be gains by killing other mythic beings/destroying mythic objects cooler than just awakening new mythic sparks?

Is removing most forms of long range teleportation on a PC level something you would be ok with?

Mostly I'm asking because I've always wanted to write an AP and might as well see what people want.

Don't make a whole lot of cute characters myself, and those that are tend to be more grotesquely-cute than anything else.

Cutest was probably the gnome druid-first time out of her sacred grove, very determined to do some good and make the world a better place, but so completely unused to actual civilization that she was always getting confused and at a loss for what to do. I had a lot of fun bullying her.

Then who's playing the kitsune?
>>
>>49568781
Let's see... such events include:
Accidentally eating a magic mushroom that caused her deepest fantasies to manifest as semi-solid shadows. In front of the people whose shadows were manifesting.
Accidentally getting dosed with an aphrodisiac magic booster, getting away from the party to "collect herself", and being walked in on in a compromising position. Then she flew into the sticky web walls and got stuck.
Made delirious through a magic trap, and when the sense was slapped back into her the first though was "that was kind of nice..."
Attempting to "save" another party member that was thrown into the other side of a bathhouse without thinking (or her towel), only to splash down in front of a number of men who were staring.
I don't think I need to add this is an ERP game.

No familiar or book in sight. Still dressed like a whore, so probably some sort of caster. Swirly eyes insinuate a Mesmerist, because of their Stare class feature. Race is probably a refluffed kitsune because of the bonus to charisma.

You will never use more than 30% of it, anon, because a lot of it has little use for the vast majority of character concepts, is simply mechanically unviable/shittily written, or will not interest you.
Do not fall for the "piles and piles of content" maymay, just follow the pf general for a week and see where all that "content" actually leads.
>>
>>49570128
Big downside of PF is that Paizo actively works against any signs of mundanes becoming more powerful than they were in core, which is severely unfair. There's a sort of hopelessness in it that you never got in WotC's 3.5, who over time came to realize what the problems were and strove to fix them late into the system's life (these fixes were what Paizo hated most about 3.5). Paizo not only refuses to fix the problems but will undo with errata anything that accidentally alleviates it.

That's essentially it, as well as the fact that a lot of people play it. Its less balanced and less well designed than 5e, but it has a cubic buttload of content, both 1pp and 3pp, and you can build a lot of things even if 75% is bad and trap options

she was a level 1 fighter (to get a feat early), level 5 paladin with the sacred shield, holy guide, and warrior of holy light archetypes

Feats were:
>combat reflexes for more AoO
>bodyguard, letting you aid another with AoO
>shield focus
>antagonize, forcing enemies to attack her instead of allies
>intercept charge, letting you interrupt enemy charges and force them to attack you instead of allies

relevant abilities were:
>bastion of good, improve allied AC when smiting, reducing their dmg by half
>holy shield, giving all adjacent allies your shield bonus (buffed by shield focus)
>divine bond, making shield bonus even better
>power of faith, giving party a morale bonus to AC

Question: If I would prefer for the Path of War maneuvers to be used almost solely for combat utility and providing more options, but to completely reduce the amount of damage they deal with a strike, would making it so that strikes deal minimum die damage work to reduce the amount of damage? (So instead of adding, for example, 2d6 damage for Bronze Knuckle, it instead adds a flat 2 damage). Then you would roll for extra damage when you get your second attack at +2 (So level 10 for rogues)

That ruins too much of them, especially in comparison to each other where their damage differences are distinguishing factors and offset by penalties or other effects depending on if they're high or low. If they're all negligible there's no internal balance in that system.

A better idea is to just have slightly higher enemy HP up until about level 6, and give an early iterative attack to non-casting non-initiating classes so that they have some way to measure up in at least some circumstances. When I say "early iterative attack" I basically mean, you shift the BAB chart from this:
>...
>+4
>+5
>+6/+1
to this
>...
>+4/-1
>+5/+0
>+6/+1
Effectively making the first iterative like a loan you pay off from 1st level to 6th.

Hey there, /pfg/

Can I get some more input and criticisms for my homebrew class, the Empyrius? I'd gladly appreciate it.

Its an offense/support class based loosely on the Tactician and the Vitalist with a flavor of warlock.

His main draw is his ability to deal damage , debuff and deliver support buffs all in one turn.

GM of that game you were talking about.

I said it'd be based on the first four applications I liked sheets I got, so if four deus vult character sheets swooped in before the current players drop theirs, we might end up with the adventures of Living Armor Cybermancers attempting to enslave the Giant Kingdoms.

As far as optimization goes, I have said "You can have whatever you need to make your concept work."

So, if you dropped a casual warder, then looked over at Captain "115 damage in a 1600 radius, no save no anti-magic, while using triple Versatile Performance to get all my skills in the thirties" and said "Can I have another 200 hitpoints and tripled damage and +10 to all skill checks as a feat?" I'd probably say yes.

I will never not reminisce fondly about my first Alchemist. I built him with exactly one thing in mind: grapple and throw everything. And throw he did, from enemies, small buildings, larger buildings, trees, friendly Synthesists, and finally, at the game's conclusion, the Tarrasque. He ascended to godhood though he didn't realize it for several centuries until he was finally killed for real, and I like to think his favored weapon is The Tarrasque still.

Hello tg, I have a question. Out of the Mad Doctor's Formulary under the graft limbs procedure it has this text.

>You may instead alter a limb to aid in climbing, jumping, or
swimming. Each limb that you alter in this way grants a +2 racial
bonus to Climb, Acrobatics (jumping only), or Swim checks; this
bonus does not stack with existing racial bonuses to these skills.

Now what I am wondering is how to interpret this, if you modify multiple limbs.
For instance with all four limbs altered would that produce a +8 Racial Bonus total, or would it simply be a +2 and no reason to modify more than one limb and suffer the effects of the procedure.
>>

>>
>>49571553
I read it as +2 because it specifies they don't stack with racial bonuses and it grants a racial bonus. That and it's the same bonus from the same source.
>>
>>49571553
bonuses from the same source don't stack.
Though if you have several limbs, you cannot get a +4 to climb. but you can get +2 to climb, +2 to swim.

Yo /pfg/, I have a minor question about path of war

You don't find autisms cute?

It should just use the initiation modifier of the base class. I know you can't take the PoW Prestige calsses unless you have the ability to use maneuvers, so you should have an initiation modifier already.
>>
>>49571763

That makes sense, yeah. What if I have more than one (relevant) base class though?
>>
>>49571771
They should both have their initiator levels increase as full, if I'm reading correctly.

https://gyazo.com/2c54e6b6ffbad9e3ee9005b0a6589f40

So a Warlord 4 / Stalker 4 / Some prestige class 2 would have an initiator level of 8 for both warlord and stalker.
>>
>>49571799

That's for initiator level, I'm looking for initiator modifier (WIS for stalkers, INT for warders, etc.).

I would say its a choose one situation. Similar to how a person with Sorcerer and Wizard levels has to chose one or the other when leveling up in Loremaster.

/pfg/ I would like to pick your collective brain.

A friend of mine is interested in DMing. It'll be their first time, and they're thinking of picking up Strange Aeons, since adventure paths are pretty easy to run and they like Lovecraft stuff. I'm thinking of playing an Occultist, since I feel like the slightly unhinged guy strapped down with esoteric magic items fits the flavor, and I could probably replace a rogue for trapfinding and still be semi useful.

Current plan is to get power attack and furious focus, grab a flachion, and go crit fishing. Literally all of my other feats will either be Extra Mental Focus or Extra Focus Power, as needed. Is this relatively viable, or should I change things up? No 3pp, but all Paizo material allowed.

Is there any difference between weapon proficiency and weapon familiarity?
>>
>>49573010
Proficiency is a feat, and it means you can use a specific weapon.

Familiarity is a racial feature that means you are proficient in a specific weapon or group of weapons, and you treat another exotic weapon or group of weapons as martial weapons, granting you proficiency if you have any levels in a class that is proficient with all martial weapons.
>>
>>49573010
Proficiency means you can use the weapon, full stop.

Familiarity changes the class the weapon is in. It doesn't mean you can use it.

Example: Dwarves get weapon familiarity with any dwarven weapon, trating it as a martial weapon rather than an exotic weapon. A Dwarf wizard wouldn't be proficient in a Dwarven Waraxe, but a Dwarf Fighter would be - because they're proficient in all martial weapons, and treat all Dwarven weapons as martial.
>>
>>49573010
I believe weapon familiarity makes weapons count as martial weapons. So I think a... cracked white ioun stone can be used for a character with martial weapon proficiency be able to use, without penalty, the exotic weapon type it's attuned to.

Hey, my group and I are just starting pathfinder with my group and we had a pseudo-session last Friday with me as the DM

A regular problem I ran into was people talking over each other and myself, now I only know two of the people in the group so I wasn't really stern with them about it but it was kind of annoying when I am trying to explain the rules and what's around them and people are talking over me or not listening forcing me to repeat myself.

How do I address this? Am I being a huge autist and need to lay off? again, I don't really know these people super great or else I'd just tell them to shut the fuck up while I speak cause it's annoying

I just want us to use the most of our time, y'know?

Kek, that's what I want to say but I don't want to come across as a whiny bitch. I don't know these people too well and I'd prefer they respect me rather than resent me.

Well, next time it happens you can interject that you're all adults and you're going to act like them. Use the excuse of "When people are talking over one another it makes it very difficult to hear and keep the game running smoothly. If you have something to say you can wait for the current speaker to finish."

Or you can do the same thing before game, which may be easier. "Last game there were instances of people speaking over one another which made it difficult to keep track and run game. Please, for the future, wait to speak until the current person is done."

You really can do just about anything as an Occultist. Just keep in mind that you NEED Int more than anything else. One unique thing is that the Occultist, at level 20, has more spells known than ALL other spontaneous 6/9 casters. Additionally, your spell list is a best-of-the-best of a lot of other spell lists, and your focus powers can let you pick some of the other staples

Are we talking basic Occultist or archetyped Occultist? There are three good archetypes for the Occultist.

The Battle Host loses a few spells and access to the magic circles and stuff in favor of bonus feats, so you can make a decent martial character. Pick Transmutation and Abjuration for your first two implements: you get what amounts to a free Cloak of Resistance and a Belt of Physical Stat that scales as you level. You're a decent gish. Pick utility focus powers to make up for the fact that you don't get as many implements and not

The Talisman Crafter loses two focus powers in exchange for being able to share their spells with their allies and setting down magic circles that hold spells.

The Haunt Collector makes a decent alternative to the Battle Host. You can trade a resonant power for a medium's spirit bonus. You lose out on Aura Sight and a few other of the Occultist's flavor powers, but gain the ability to have an unseen servant that can deliver touch spells, and later gets the ability to fly. It's weird, but you can trade conjuration's useless res. power that only works on Glitterdust for the Champion's buff to attack and damage, which is much better for gishing it up. Plus, you don't lose any implements OR focus powers, meaning that you're just as effective a spellcaster as a basic occultist.

>>49573264
I was thinking of just being a base Occultist, filling in as the group's skillmonkey/"I can do that" guy rather than a rogue. Start with abjuration/transmutation implements, pick up divination at level 2, then get stuff with interesting utility (necromancy or conjuration look good for stuff like that, conjuration's dumb resonant power notwithstanding).

I'll consider Haunt Collector though, because a few of the resonant powers look pretty useless to me (like conjurations. I mean fucking really).

I am going to protect that smile so hard, man, you don't even know. She's actually married, but adventuring away from her family. I'm playing a half-elf oracle, and he adopted her as the mother figure he never had. He recognizes she really can't replace his real mother who is still out there, and that his feelings towards the elf are a jumbled mess.
>>
>>49573380
How is she French?
>>
>>49573324
>>49573385

Yeah.

Haunt Collector is a bit of a straight upgrade over the normal Occultist in my opinion. The abilities you trade in are mostly equal in strength, but the ability to trade a bad resonant power for the spirit bonus from a Medium's spirit is pretty damn great.

I would recommend the only resonant power you trade out be Conjuration's, because it is utterly useless. Enchantment and Evocation are close seconds if you want to replace another resonant power. Trade the first resonant power from any of those three for the Champion spirit, and then get the Archmage, Hierophant, or Guardian spirits, because the Marshal and the Trickster don't help you as much.

If you do end up going for the base Occultist: your Focus Powers and Mental Focus can REALLY extend your adventuring stamina. Each focus power is essentially an extra spell known, and every implement grants you a focus power. That ends up being around 17 focus powers and 7 resonant powers at level 20, which isn't a number to sneeze at, because a base Occultist ends up with 49 spells known at level 18. That's around 66 "spells" known effectivel, which is absolutely killer. There are some REALLY GOOD focus powers too, that replicate the effects of spells but better, so you can pick something other than Haste or Flight if you want.

For utility, Conjuration, Divination, and Transmutation are your go-to's. You can pick up any of the others as you wish, but those three will carry you through the early levels.

>Coyōtl
>Not truly a kitsune, but a closely related species, the coyōtl share their eastern cousin’s affinity for trickery and manipulation. Like kitsune, they are master shapeshifters, but their carrion-heavy diet and heavy spiritualism has led many to believe—including the majority of coyōtl themselves—that they possess power over life and death. And yet, in spite of this burden, they live life one day at a time, cheerful and impulsive, fast-talking their way out of any trouble they find themselves in.

How chuuni should a coyōtl be?

I want to suggest a houserule to my campaign since we have a PoW, a SoP and a mundane martial in the group.

Is this a good houserule so that my game doesn't become a dick-measuring contest?

You're effectively talking about nerfing 2/3 of your players to make 1/3 happy, assuming you have a party of 3 and didn't leave anyone out.

Seems like a bad idea to me. Better to allow the mundane martial a chance to reroll as something with a similar power level at this point.
>>
On a whim, I wrote an archetype for the fighter that gives it 4/9 spontaneous int-based casting off of the Witch's spell list, two Occultist implements of your choice, and a scaling weapon. It's compatible with the Lore Warden, Martial Master, AND the Myrmidon, in case you want your fighters to be tier 3, y'know.

I think this is the conundrum with throwing 3pp in a group.

They sometimes trivialize everything else.

And if you increase the challenge, you will fuck over the 1pp players because the former skewed the challenge curve.

And if you throw the shiny +5 sword at the mundane martial, thats still not gonna fix the fact that the warder kills everything in a 30ft radius around himself and the SoP can teleport towards the BBEG and full attack him for 200 damage.
>>
>>49574285
>Given that the only thing a mundane martial is actually good at is damage?

They can't deal damage higher than the others is the problem.

By introducing the damage ceiling, the fighter can feel like he's doing the same amount of damage as his other two buddies.

>>49574266
Ah. Then discuss things with your group, lay out your concerns, and figure it out. That's basically always the best course of action.

>>49574279
I think it's a reasonably fair assumption that a mundane martial would probably want to switch to PoW after seeing it in action, but it's nto my character.

And people saying 'well dont use 1pp' don't help matters, since a player may not like the 3pp, or specifically wants to use a 1pp class.

Eh. I wouldn't say its a given. I personally hate PoW.

Lets be fair: Spheres of Power and Path of War, were the answers to fix martial/caster disparity.

Of course the fighter is going to feel obsolete, because his only options is 'charge', 'attack' and 'full attack'
