Pathfinder General /pfg/

So, is there any information on large extraplanar cities, like Dis? What the populations are, major features, etc.

Come on guys, pls.

>>50255111
But back then Lisa Stevens hired MMO developer Ryan Dancey to develop the Pathfinder MMO, in spite of Dancey's horrible track record with games. This was a purely personal move because they're old friends. It's one of many bad decisions that basically led to the state Paizo is now in and why I left.

Pathfinder Online was developed by the independently owned (but Paizo-backed) company Goblinworks, and Paizo invested a VERY substantial sum of money in the company. Way too much.

So as a result of this investment, there were no bonuses allotted to salaried employees that year. I wouldn't be surprise if they're still denying everyone their bonuses.

Goblinworks failed to deliver the promised product and, in spite of months of us trying to warn upper management that Pathfinder Online was fucked, the plug wasn't pulled on Goblinworks until the 11th fucking hour, way past the point of being able to salvage the company. By this point Paizo pumped so much money into Goblinworks that they were entering financial dire straits. The Goblinworks folks tried but Paizo just gave the fuck up, which I can't blame them for. It's way too little too late.

Paizo became so short on finances that they were unable to maintain the development of the VTT software or essential upgrades to their proprietary forum/store back-end.

I heard that since my departure Paizo's started to intentionally delay payment of contractors (artists and freelance writers) in order to juggle financial burdens from month to month in a pretty blatant breach of contract.

>>50255132
Nah man I've heard some of the last she shit is thousands of dollars per contractor. Some past-due payments wouldn't even be delivered if the contractor "didn't notice" and as a result some payments were out more than a year because folks didn't notice they were getting fucked.

Oh and get this. Following a change in the way salaried employees hours are tracked in Washington State, with regards to overtime hours, Paizo cut salaried employees hours down and assigned them additional contracted "freelance" work to make up the dividend. Paizo employees often work 12 hour days (or more), for an average of $35,000 annually with few benefits. And that's on the high end of salary.


Not counting Erik, Lisa and Vic


Pathfinder product lines are a constant juggling of resources. This is what culminated in the decision to develop the 2nd Edition of the Pathfinder RPG I mentioned before

Pathfinder v2 (or the Revised Edition of the Pathfinder RPG) development started in-house a while back and substantial resources are allocated from other departments (normally handling campaign setting, player companion, and other product lines.)

Increased financial burdens meant that no additional staff could be hired, obviously, meaning salaried employees were effectively working double shift to meet project deadlines. It's almost like in other games companies isn't it?

After I left Paizo it was pretty clear their diminished revenue lead to an increased reliance on licensed products (comics, novels, audiobooks, teleplays, etc). Starfinder RPG looks and sounds like a pretty blatant marketing scheme for licensing. I'd bet Pathfinder 2 either became Starfinder or Starfinder is a stealth beta for what they were working on with PF2.

There's so many other glaring problems I could mention like the GenCon industry insider fiasco which blew me away when I heard a it it. But, frankly, I'm tired of it. "

>How villainous are your villains?
Ranges based upon the nature of their evil.

For example of a more extreme villain,

Aasimar Cleric (Hidden Priest) of Folca

He pretended to be a priest of Sarenrae, and worked heavily with child protective services/orphanages. Often arranging for adoptions or guardians/caregivers. This has lead to some fucked up things, like children housed with people simply to sate those individuals desires, or smuggled into minimum security prison as a reward for certain valuable inmates. At one point he even had PCs' working for him doing odd jobs like transporting a child to their new "loving" loving family. And when the children's use was over they were discarded, often to asylums or the slums. Some even killed.

His inspiration came from the various characters of Jeffrey Epstein, Jimmy Saville, Mark Dutroux, and the various incidents of trafficking in Boystown, Franklin Scandal, Ponchatoula etc.

Other villains have included contract killers, crimelords/drug kingpins, petty thieves, reflective cannibals, angels of death/angels of mercy, visionaries/mission oriented, etc.

It all kinda depends on the environment you're interjecting the villain into, what kind of feel you want to go with and how you feel the players can handle the content.

Someone who loves lewd butt stuff as a cute petite girl

So I'm playing a Groetus Warpriest. Thinking of playing them as something in the vein of a PF take on a doomsday prepper - sound about right?

>>50255457

Groetus worshipers are almost uniformly insane, their schtick was to be the Lovecrafting "touched by madness" types before the Elder Gods were slapped on the setting.

>>50255403
Well, that depends on who I end up building.

For the Dhampir Tyrant, I'd need a moral anchor to keep him from doing anything TOO unholy.

For the Rahadoumi Cavalier, probably someone to keep him from saying anything too blasphemous.

I have yet to figure out what racial options involve Giant heritage, but a big Giant-blooded dope would need someone with some realm smarts and enough moral fibre to not exploit them.

It's not great. Glitterdust as cast by a level 3 wizard covers a 16 square area over a hundred feet away. Glitterdust as cast by a level 16 Alchemist covers a 6 square area adjacent to the Alchemist, with a DC 4 higher.

Thanks brah.

>there's only going to be core classes.
Fuck...why must you do this, Paizo?

>>50255591
Area doesn't matter as much as the DC here, since you'll likely be casting it on one or two targets tops. But glitterdust is probably the single most powerful level 2 spell in the game and this gives a player the ability to cast it spontaneous with a DC increase. Imagine this on a vivisectionist, if nothing else.

What's your character?

Man, looking at the Masterpieces just makes me think that this is what bardic abilities shoulda been.

Rather than just 'at X level, you get Y performance', it shoulda been you get to pick from a list every other level or something. So not every bard has the same damn things unless they swap them out via archetypes.

Has paizo released anything for sorcs since the bloodline mutations?

>>50255673
A lot of classes really should have just been like that, desu. Some archetypes look more like they should have been part of a talent list than a whole archetype.

>>50255720
Yeah.

Bards and Gunslingers are the ones that most immediately come to mind.

There should be variation provided WITHIN a class, not just out of it.

I don't know if it's only going to be core classes.

The NPC Codex came out after Ultimate Combat, and it didn't have any archetypes.

It might have been too much effort.

If the Villain Codex is core only, we could write and generate statblocks for better villains and organizations.

Just as much pleasure as there is pain, you should hope. Applying for any game is a risk, but such is the way with any investment.

My advice? Go on Myth-Weavers and check out the Pathfinder advertisements, read applications and study what they do that make your creative juices flow. Game of Thrones is a surprisingly fantastic source of easily digestible character types and ways to convey information. I'd recommend that too.

>>50255741
To a lesser degree, Magus as well. Medium and Heavy armor shouldn't have been gated so far into the class, and spell combat/spellstrike should have probably been scaled differently.

Also more Arcana should be actually worthwhile. POOL STRIKE SHOULD HAVE HAD AN OPTION TO MAKE IT AT-WILL DAMNIT.

>>50255856
Rather than just spellstrike/combat which you get both of by level two, leaving almost the entire rest of the class more or less inconsequential to most things you'll do outside of the fact that casting classes multiclass like a brick flies?

Do it, then call it the Unchained Magus.

>>50255856
It would be pretty nice to have more classes that are as modular as the vigilante, Magus especially. Pool Strike becoming just a standard part of the class is probably a good idea so it isn't "ALL SHOCKING GRASP ALL THE TIME".

If you make it spheres compatible, I suggest making spell combat be spread out so it's one attack + spell at base, then later on let you use it to "full attack + cast spell". That way if you just dip, all you get is the ability to cast a spell and make one (two with spellstrike) attack. Hell, that might be a good idea for just the NORMAL magus, even. Nerfs hasted Magi a little, but doesn't fuck with the baseline too much.

>>50255132
Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

>>50255872
As the GM for the "main" game in this hypothetical scenario, someone please volunteer. I was seriously considering running extra games so there wouldn't be people left out, but I don't have time to run 8+ sessions a week.

>>50255964
You could even just give it a "haste/speed attacks still work with this ability" clause. Though the pools strike thing is a nice idea. Any other ideas? I was thinking it'd need more good arcana, either through choices or through leveling.

Still trying to overcome writer's block in my own; I've posted it before, Quintessence Thief, sort of a forward port of the idea behind 3.5's Spellthief. I want to playtest it and write some archetypes for it (one initiating one, one psionic one at least, maybe one that uses spheres of power or akashic magic but i"m not familiar with either of those subsystems very well; in addition a more intimidation/combat one called spellthug and a charm/more bardy one called heartthief), but I have not had a chance for playtesting the base class yet and I feel like writing archetypes with an unplaytested base is asking for trouble.

Why not give them something to do outside of combat too? I find that alot of the classes kinda force you to pick in combat or out of combat and while the magus could do with some fixing in combat I'd like to see some out of combat utility and RP abilities added too! Maybe give archetypes of unchained magus and give said archetypes things to do aside from slash, bash and spell?

Working on a map for a setting atm. Already have alot of the basics kinda worked out for things and maps coastline is in the process of getting done. I started by using hexs in the map generation stage and now I'm worried it shows a little too much in some places. I've moved on to rivers while I ponder the coastline in some places. How much does /pfg/ pay attention to maps?

>>50256043
Still trying to figure out how to avoid gutting it, while also making it more palatable and easy for the other players to take in. This is a far bigger headache than anticipated, but progress is being made, just gotta pitch stuff and hope for the best.

This might antagonize some people in this thread, but I honestly think you should just stick to applying for the game proper when it opens up. You've got a fun character with a hard connection to the going-ons of the campaign, seize this chance.

>What's your character?
A introverted elementalist(mechanically a sphere caster) and childhood friend and traveling companion of Ameiko.

He's back in town after several years of training and adventuring, for "the Swallowtail festival".
He really just wants to see his crush again as a big part of the reason he's worked so hard is because he thinks becoming a successful adventuring will earn her love.

I could really stand to improve the backstory, but I have no clue how.

So we've got:

Spell combat having some attack limit based on magus level. This would have to account for haste, rapid shot and twf ideally.
Pool strike as a standard feature. Would this still cost arcane pool points?
Arcane pool itself would change to have all the weapon special abilities.
Some sort of arcana to get medium armor prof+spells and have it naturally progress to heavy at some later level (7th?).
Possible sword beams arcana
Some sort of out of combat utility beyond spells.

Other ideas
Arcana that gives some stat (dex or mental) to damage maybe?
Blackblade just an arcana or something?
Hexcrafter as an arcana?
Some sort of mental stat swapping would be nice imo.
What archetypes have neat shit hidden away?
Would giving it AWT through some option be okay?

Overall the things that I'm at a loss for is how the arcana progression should be and how to increase out of combat utility.

Still soliciting feedback.

http://pastebin.com/95rXxMmC

Slime-kin race, feedback appreciated. Not 100% done. Meant to be accessible as either a one-off from a backfired spell or as a full-fledged race. Limited compression was meant to be treated as a movement type (and escape artist isn't super duper powerful so meh).

Soft idea for society is living in secret communities typically only accessible through their limited compression abilities. Sorcery and Psionics aren't uncommon to them, divine casting is less common (as they don't have their own god), they tend to not like heavy armor and how it restricts their ability to bail.

Willing to take some potential suggestions on optional alternate racial traits or racial feats.

>tfw accidentally type out how you feel for something you weren't even trying to respond to

>>50256341
The Spell Combat thing can probably just be divided into two parts, rather than making it scale constantly. I didn't want to TOTALLY gut out multiclassing (or prestiging), just make it so staying singleclassed is still attractive.

>Pool Strike as a standard feature. Would this still cost arcane pool points?
At first, but an arcana/feat/something that makes it no cost with the option to power it up with a point was what I would do.

>>50256432
That would probably be close to the date.

I got several homebrews lined up waiting for your criticism and feedback right here.

Avatar:
A Divine Elemental Barbarian - He can throw spells and swing swords like a force of nature. One of his archetypes turns him into a pokemon trainer instead.

The Avatar is 80% complete. I feel like he needs more Wrath options as well as a good class feature for 16th level.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/10dEgLazR1i9O9Cs0z-6Znw96ocJPu3CVGuEOkCEfqLw/edit?usp=sharing

Empyreus:
Based on the warlock class, He can suck the essence out of an enemy and use those essences to boost himself or his allies. His archetypes turn him either to a dedicated healer or dedicated crowd controller.

The Empyreus is 95% complete. I'm pretty confident in this one and its a really fun class since I've had 3 players test run this class.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xQMlB45-UFEWCB2ffqoBUMhR-t4afSXLk29fgTJNVyw/edit?usp=sharing

Mechanist:
The Mechanist is a variation of the alchemist. He trades away alchemy for engineering, and can invent stuff like powered suits, jet packs, nanomachines, etc and then upgrade them to be even better.

The Mechanist is... incredibly subpar and needs a huge rework. It just doesn't offer a unique role that an alchemist or arcane caster can't replicate.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Rx0a2T6p_ADX0I74-yonZLc2NPyUuVSqACEFOZ1Oahk/edit?usp=sharing

Sigilist:
The Sigilist is based on the Onmyouji/Taoism, a divine caster who can empower his spells by using sigils as spell components. He can also be a decent combatant using his Talismans.

The Sigilist is 70% complete yet, I've already gotten feedback that this is much too strong as a divine caster. Easily tier 1. At the moment, I'm dialing his abilities back a bit, but everyone did like the concepts and class features.

No offense - but try grabbing blade tricks from the soulknife for ideas. Most of them are pretty functionally great without being too strong.

>>50256341
Do archtypes that both swap your powersource and your mental ability!

Wis for some primal magic with hexs and some animal themed buffs, give the players some things related to animals and animal spirits that tell them secrets about the past/future and let them talk to trees and stuff.
Cha for some divine magic, let the players channel their holy spirit into their blade, give them a weapon that's related to their deity and have it scale like a blackblade but with less edge and also something to do with class skills of their deity like the skill edge thing the rouge gets with the skill.
Int can stay arcane and keep the normal flavor but add some stuff about buffing allies weapons and armour with some sorta one use magic stuff. Also some bonuses from identifying monsters like that one style!

Spire Defenders can use Arcane Pool points for bonuses to skill checks.

Arcane Cloak lets you use pool points for Bluff and Stealth checks.

You could also have Flamboyant Arcana and Arcane Deed to something useful, like in the pre-errata version of the ACG.

Spend one week honing each of the characters down to a fine point so when application date comes you can pick which one you think you'll like the most so the DM's read something nice before it's tossed in the garbagio for whatever tickles each of the respective DM's dicks?

>>50256597
Now obviously the lumbering fool would be a Barbarian or Bloodrager, but what to put with that?

Also, I can't decide whether to have his low INT be a matter of Hill Giant ancestry or just lack of formal education.

>>50256659
This is also a fine plan.

>>50256661
>Now obviously the lumbering fool would be a Barbarian

Brawler, maybe? He'd be a Brawlbarian and have strong, rough hands.

Also I thought half-giants didn't get a penalty to INT, are you using something different? Regardless, I'd pin his low intelligence on the Hill Giant ancestry; it's not like he isn't TRYING to learn, it's just that the learning comes rough.

>>50256434
How would you go about splitting spell combat in two? Also what about a possible two-handed spell combat at a later level?

>>50256509
I didn't think to look at bladeskills, that's a good idea. I was going to look through vigilante as well, both 1pp and jolly's stuff.

>>50256526
Archetypes like that could conflict with any other casting changing archetypes like a spheres or initiating archetype. I'd prefer that stat swaps become an arcana or feat, though I'd be cool with ones that changed spell list/prep-method also changing the stat (which could be swapped again via feat/arcana).

>>50256528
Going through the magus archetypes, most of these seem like they should have just been arcana in the first place.

I was gonna do something different, maybe just imply distant ancestry. Do Humans have any racial traits for that or would I actually have to go Half-Giant?

>>50256759
I'm using Vigilante as a sort of gold standard for all this, though it could likely just become vigilante stuff, since that's easy to do. But I want it to be something new and cool.

>>50256764
>Do Humans have any racial traits for that or would I actually have to go Half-Giant?

There's a trait called Giant-Blooded for that, or you could grab Bred For War.

I'm just suggesting Half-Giant because it's *basically* a huge human with some really good attributes and works with the lewdness of the party.

The villain I'm personally most proud of was one of the most proficient con artist of the land that "stumbled" upon the Deck of Many Things.

He wanted to get rich, really rich, and have fun while using the deck, so he figured out a trick: he would go from hamlet to hamlet and offer villagers a chance at the draw. It was, of course, at their own risks, but you only need one or two curious to get interesting results. If their target would draw a card that get them riches and no other benefits, he would simply take it from them. He destabilized entire kingdoms, proping up wannabe dukes left and right, some of them incredibly powerful due to incredible luck of draw.

So much chaos was bound to attract the attention of powerful outsiders. It was just a mini arc of a campaign I ran, but honestly one of my favourites.

Of course I didn't let my PCs draw, fuck that noise.

Not very.

There was the time I combines a few items from the pic to create a gang of halflings that punched people in the groin.

The PCs hated it because I added flavor text with every successful blow against them.

>>50257399
The meta is typically 'Passive class' + 'Active Class'. Passive meaning it doesn't eat your actions, while active will.

Fighter is a good example of passive class.
Wizard is a good example of an active class

Fighter gives d10 HD, good BAB, good fort save.
Wizard is d6 HD, bad BAB, and good will.

Combined you'll have d10 HD, Good BAB, Good Fort and Will, as well as spell casting and proficiency.

(Fighter + Wizard isn't a good combo due to ACP, but it's an example).

People also thought I was a female after my first voice session too, when I get nervous my balls climb up into my throat and I sound effeminate.

The only thing I'm burning the midnight-oil trying to work out is what exactly spurred Casimir (>>50255569) to leave Brevoy after graduating from the Aldori Academy; as it stands, he is brother to the King and once his best friend, the rigors of leadership however have hardened Noleski's heart, and eventually their relationship cooled.

Whatever caused him to leave, I'm thinking it led him to Mivon, where he was kicked out yet again for dueling the wrong person. From there? A gradual travel Westward, plying his services as a swordlord to whatever River King fancies an Aldori dueling blade. Eventually he would find himself at the coast, where he takes up work in Korvosa as a mere sellsword which, while profitable, was never something he had the heart for (he does it because he's good at it, but his true passion, acquired in childhood, was artistry.) I figure the incident that crushed his spirit was seeing some great work of art that made him realize that the path he was walking was not one he wanted to follow... So he retired, moving to Magnimar, and then to Sandpoint, where he's lived for the past 5-6 years now, his skills with a blade rusting while his artistry flourished. He's settled quite a bit there, owning a house and what is likely a profitable network of clients who buy up his work.

He's still got his signet ring though, and remembers those times near the Lake of Mists and Veils with his brother. He means to write and tell of what happened to him, but every time he takes out the parchment he just can't think of what to say.

I tried greentexting this but it came out too long.

Some other ideas:
>Summoner/Rogue
Shade (No eidolon, instead they get a shadow. The shadow has evolutions like an eidolon and a pool of points, but is not a separate creature. Instead you evolve it to give you abilities, like a mini synthesis summoner. On the rogue side you get sneak attack and skill unlocks, except the skill unlocks are an evolution. The same with most of the rogue talents being pushed onto the shadow as evolution for the character)

>tfw more I try to make viable "ritual casting" feat trees the stupider it looks

I don't know man. I am having a really hard time making this work. I'm dead set on it taking longer to cast than normal spells, but the progression and number of feats are giving me a hard time.

I've about hit the point of making it a three feat tree. One that qualifies you to become a ritual caster, then Ritual Caster and Advanced Ritual Caster. One that qualifies you for up to 4th level spells, and the other that goes up to 6.

Basically for a few feats it is meant to give characters access to utility spells. Things like teleportation, augury, speak with dead, invisibility, arcane lock, alarm, etc.

I also want it to draw on "Use more people to make it better" and "the trappings of the ritual improve the quality".

However I am starting to think three feats are too few.

Higher than you think, but lower than you hope.

Most people I know just associate them more with cat-girls than Khajiit.

>>50258515

In my opinion it sounds like the Ritual feats should be "Convert common spells into Occult rituals. Ritualized spells their cast time increased to a number of minutes equal to 10+ (10)spell level "

And feats along the tree allow later and later spells to be converted into rituals.

I was thinking he might like dice games (he likes the sound they make) but not be very good at them for obvious reasons.

Also, any sport that involves throwing things really far. Maybe he could even want to get into pottery, but have trouble with it due to the delicate work required for intricate designs.

>>50258625

>>50256341
>Arcane pool itself would change to have all the weapon special abilities.
Maybe instead of getting ALL the weapon special abilities, you choose an X number at first level to customize your list and can get more every 4 or 5 levels or spend an arcana and get two or three abilities added to the list.

>Arcana that gives some stat (dex or mental) to damage maybe?
Dex definetly, Int maybe, bith stack with strenght instead of raplace so if you dump str you still lose damage, can't stack both.
>Blackblade just an arcana or something?
Either an archetype, or divide into multiple arcana
>Hexcrafter as an arcana?
Yes.
>Some sort of mental stat swapping would be nice imo.
Archetytpe territory
>What archetypes have neat shit hidden away?
Dunno right now
>Would giving it AWT through some option be okay?
WT I could see, but AWT... Depends on if you have replaced the fighter with a better unchained version. Not the Augunas one, tht's still middling. If yes, AWT and AAT are fair game. If not, why not? Fighters suck.

>>50258625
>Maybe he could even want to get into pottery, but have trouble with it due to the delicate work required for intricate designs.

I know a man who could help him learn.

>>50258652
I've worked through most of the archetypes and found that most are in line for what I want arcana to be. Eldritch Archer, Eldritch Scion, and Kensai change too much for me to easily convert to arcana.

What did you mean by split blackblade into multiple arcana?

Do we have any #CoCT bros in here? I'm in a pickle I may need some ideas for;

So my players killed Pilts. He escaped once, they visited Arkona Palace, were told to go make sure he was dead, went to his Warehouse-of-Horrors dungeon where they fought him and Worm-That-Walks Rolth. They go back to Arkona Palace.

Now my problem is I sent them into the dungeon to find Vencarlo and Neolandus, I told them what they needed to know (Levers, rotating sections, danger) and they're on their way in.

But now I've decided, I don't want to reveal the truth about the Arkonas to them right now. It doesn't feel right, they've only just met them in person, and I want them to have more time to potentially be used by Glorio and grow to hate him.

So basically, I need some ideas of what I can do in the dungeon that will make them A.) Not discover the family's secret and B.) Not completely ruin the dungeon so that they might be able to go back in later for the real fights.

Would having Rakshasa posing as Vencarlo and Neolandus in one of the very early rooms, who they are tricked into taking out with them be too much? If I do that, with maybe one or two fights, do you think they'll ignore the fact that the dungeon was too easy?

Need input.

Really? Thats the only bad part? Not being a 3/4 bab class with no boosters, no arcana pool like the magus it fails to copy, no nothing to make it actually work as it could possibly have been intended? Read the damn thing, you technically cant even use the lashes for touch attacks, they only deliver spells on regular attacks that you'll never land thanks to your abyssmal accuracy. When will you ever use ectoplasmic armor since you will have better gear before it comes online and jumping from 4 to 6 at level 12 is pitiful. How about some action economy, when does the action to create lashes improve again? Never, oh yeah, its never.

Ectoplasmatist has all the problems of a core 3.0 monk.

Try mocking one up and see what you can actually do with it other than flail about and die early. So much wasted potential qith that archetype. Maybe someday they'll redo it as a magus archetype that actually works.

Nope. It's a special silver and metal alloy, enchanted by dwarven songsmiths deep in the hills.

(The secret is that the armour actually shifts some of the energy around the wearer using a manipulation of the conductive idea of sliver, they'd use gold but that's so conductive magic slides right off)
