He's a complete autist when it comes to empathy. He's really smart but goddamn can he not talk to people well.

Completely terrified by darkness.

>>50279690
>What is one of your character's minor flaws?
Inability to survive in a social setting. Wait, that's a player flaw.

I have been reexamining my Unchained Fighter.

I have come to a realization I do not offer many new things.

The main "new" feature of the class is the Advanced Equipment Training. Which provides out of combat utility for the class. I believe this is an overall good thing and good for the Unchained class.

Now, besides that, I have merely made AWT and AAT more defined (defense goes into AAT, offense into AWT), made a bunch of new ones, and made it so you get them IN ADDITION to the normal.

Now in order to differentiate the Unchained Fighter more than the fighter I have thought of doing the following:
>remove Bravery, make it into a Advanced Armor Training
>replace it with "Military Training"
>Military Training will have a number of chosen "lesser" bonuses, basically not on the same level as a Rage Power, but fiddly things (on the same level as a trait)
>Some ideas are the following:
>Shamelessly stealing giving Exotic Weapon Proficiency in the weapons of a particular fighter weapon group
>Make two skills into Fighter Class Skills (synergies with the Versatile Training AET)
>Small gold advance (scales badly by level)
>A "contact" (is specified between three types of contacts)
>Gives a single trait (under normal trait rules)

Please shit all over my idea or give other ideas for "military trainings".

>>50279690
My character doesnt have minor flaws!

More specifically i dont have characters TO have flaws.

>>50279986
Story time on that? That seems a bit unusual of a flaw to give in a game that often has dark places.

>>50279690

my character has an addiction to horrible puns. especially if Inyourendo is involved.

>>50280060
What was worse he was a dwarf. The phobia was caused by being trapped in a cave in for four weeks in complete darkness. At the time he was level 3, and ended up not being in there alone. This was a back story event where he and "Something" fought in the caverns. He is also extremely claustrophobic. To survive he actually was forced to eat the bodies of other dwarves caught in the cave in and crushed.

He ended having a battle on the banks of an underwater pond, and drowned the creature in the water. All he knows is that it was suspiciously shaped like a humanoid, and even worse like a dwarf. The creature sank into the pond and he never went back to investigate further.

The entire month long even haunts him. He can't deal with darkness any longer because he's terrified the creature is going to come back.

So if I, for instance, came up with an item that allowed a young dragon to temporarily age up to a much older form with all the benefits that come with that, not just size, what level of magical item would that be?

>>50279690
>one of your character's minor flaws

Table manners. On account of previous living conditions, if there is an opportunity, he will eat as much as he can, as quickly as possible, because who knows when something could jump you. Or try to steal your food. Drinking etiquette is a different story, since that's something he was introduced to in a comfortable, nonhostile environment. Still has a tendency to go overboard though.
Wild animals, man, can't trust them with anything.

How does one build a Psychic Armory Warsoul Soulknife? What Bladeskills are worth taking and what do I do with the initiating stuff? Any examples of good maneuvers/stances or other combos to look into?

>>50280296
Major, definitely. Might even be an artifact.

>>50279690
>What is one of your character's minor flaws?

He chews with his mouth open.

>>50279690
>What is one of your character's minor flaws?

She lived a sheltered life so she's a bit socially inept (at least among commoners). I guess that'd be more of a major flaw than minor though.

>>50280296
Lesser Artifact tier.

>>50280363
>>50280418

What if I added in the caveat that after using the artifact for a period of time (my initial estimate was something around the realm of half an hour) they become incredibly exhausted, to the point of requiring a day's rest?

>>50280463
Half an hour is a long time. And to my knowledge, there aren't even any spells that can achieve a similar effect.

>>50280487
My rationale behind this is that the device is essentially utilizing the life force of the user as opposed to drawing its own power from wherever most spells draw their energy. The positive plane? I'm not sure.

>>50280525
>wherever most spells draw their energy.
The user.

And anyway, dragons get hell of a lot of powers with age categories, up to and including high-level sorcerer casting.

>>50280463
Still Lesser Artifact tier. Aging to a dragon is incredibly valuable.

>>50279690
Too many Cooks.

>>50279690
So, I’ve been thinking of a way to incorporate the Demonic Corruption into my current campaign.

In a few levels, my players will be exploring an ancient temple. They should be around level 6 or 7 at this point. I plan on having them come across a haunted fount filled with unholy water. When they get within 30 feet of it, they’ll have to make both a Will and Fortitude save. Failing the Will save will cause their characters to be overcome with a desire to drink from the fount. Resisting the temptation will leave them Sickened if they’re in range of the haunt. Failing the Fort save (made harder by resolving the Will save first) will affect them with the spell Feast of Ashes, except it will cause them to be thirsty and dehydrated rather than hungry and starving.

Drinking the unholy water from the fount will “cure” either of the affects, but also end up afflicting them with the Demonic Corruption, via the Useful Corruption rule variant, with a twist.

>Despite it being a useful corruption, they players are forced to take Abyssal Deformity as their first Manifestation
>Upon taking Abyssal Deformity, the player must make a d% roll. They then determine how their character mutates using the Tiefling Alternate Physical Features table.
>Gaining more Manifestations requires drinking unholy water from the fount again in addition to normal level requirements

The only two things I’m not sure about are, first, what the DCs for the haunt should be. I’m thinking 15 for both. Secondly, I also want drinking the unholy water to be dangerous. Like, it causes several d6 in lethal damage or substantial constitution damage. Just enough to make them think twice about taking another dose of the stuff. I’d really appreciate the feedback.

>>50280801

I see Oradin's as the anime trope of "I have to heal and save everyone!".

The two other options I see are the party leader. Strategist or just moral booster. Someone encouraging and uplifting.

Second option is the "good guy". Not an oaf, but just believing the best in people. He will never roll sense motive against you, or anyone. Lovable guy.

>>50283699
It'd be cool, but you are basically giving them a free Belt of Str/Dex/Con until they have enough money to make the triple stat belt, a full BAB, and tons of utility.

Plus a huge money upgrade for not having to pay for their +5 armor.

Out of curiosity, what are the specializations and archetypes available to the Legendary Vigilante?

Apparently I can get work done! I have finished three new archetypes for the Broken Shackles martials. They are from the backlog of archetypes I am clearing out.

First off is the Wyvern Rider, an archetype for the Unchained Cavalier. The Wyvern Rider gains a Wyvern Mount, a fearsome creature filled with greed. This mount provides not only with a powerful steed, but spellcasting. The Wyvern Rider is a 4 level spell caster using charisma, drawing mainly from the Wizard Spell List.

Next is the Hound Master, another archetype for the Unchained Cavalier. The Hound Master gains the service of several hounds, losing Banner to instead gain whistles. These whistles allow your hound to impart debuffs to enemies they threaten, stacking with other hounds threatening the same target. This allows for tactical combat, position hounds giving different debuffs and moving them to creates that require debuffing.

The final is the Bootleg Alchemist, an archetype for the Unchained Gunslinger. It exists on the far side of "Gadgeteer", giving up Deed to instead gain four level extract casting, drawing from the Alchemist Spell list. In addition they gain a bathtub mutagen, an unstable substance that enhances the Bootleg Alchemist's abilities the same as the Alchemist Mutagen.

See them and the rest of Broken Shackles below:

Hey /pfg/

I'm going to be in a Strange Aeons game soon and have gotten clearance to use the Voice of the Void Medium archetype. For character story and fluff fun I want to link each of the spirits/emissaries to a type of aberration, preferably an iconic one.
Problem is I don't know Golarions lore concerning aberrations all that well aside from no Beholders/Illithids and when in doubt blame the Aboleth.

Here is what I've tentatively got so far:
>archmage - Seugathi?
>champion
>guardian
>hierophant - Aboleth?
>marshal
>trickster - Intellect Devourer?

What would your suggestions be?

>>50284666
I do descriptive fluff all the time! It really lends something to an otherwise boring conversation with an NPC when they can tell things about you from your garb other than "murderhobo"

Taking a moment to get new boots every now and then is a good way to add a bit of flavor to your character. "My old pair got an axe through them when I took a bad hit from an orc. do you have any new pairs in my size? And then actually take some time to shop.

Lots of GMs love that shit.

>It really lends something to an otherwise boring conversation with an NPC when they can tell things about you from your garb other than "murderhobo"

Hell yeah dude, that's part of why I'm doing this scavenger's hunt for fancy trinkets and animal pelts to craft this suit of armor, I *love* giving my characters a distinct look and feel that makes them more a personality than a statblock. Bit of downtime in a high-tension situation? Time for my character to break out a lacquered snuff box and take out a pinch to calm the nerves, or at the end of a major adventure whip out a bottle of rare Galtian wine to toast their victory. When we're in town, I enjoy shopping for new tunics to replace the old, sweaty ones from our adventures, or go see a puppet show rather than the usual "go to tavern, drink and sleep."

It's the little things like these that make the game feel like a story, and in the end, isn't that what we're having sessions for?

Trying to decide what to play in an upcoming game, I was looking for something pretty goofy since it's the games this DM runs are always pretty light and goofy.

We don't normally play PF so I'm not super familiar with the rules but I was looking at Goliath Druid and can't work out if a very goofy combo is allowed.

Can you stack powerful Shape, Wild shape and then enlarge person? There is some text saying "Multiple magical effects that increase size do not stack." but does becoming a large creature count as increasing your size or are you simply taking on the base size large.

Powerful shape doesn't make you larger, just give you the buffs of being larger so it should stack, but I want to know if I can get HUGE

Goliath wildshape:
At 6th level, the goliath druid can use wild shape to become a Large humanoid of the giant subtype. This functions as the alter self spell.

Powerful Shape:
When in wild shape, treat your size as one category larger for the purpose of calculating CMB, CMD, carrying capacity, and any size-based special attacks you use or that are used against you (such as grab, swallow whole, and trample).

Enlarge person:
This spell causes instant growth of a humanoid creature, doubling its height and multiplying its weight by 8. This increase changes the creature's size category to the next larger one.

You're a man after my own heart, anon. It's the little things like that which makes these campaigns so worth it - what's a campaign without immersion? Heck, as you pointed out it's free (FREE) character development and backstory dumps too, since who doesn't talk a bit about themselves while doing that sorta stuff?

>>50284898
It was being told I don't roleplay that made me realize I was literally being ignored for everything except the dice rolls that pop up in roll20.

>>50284850
powerful build(shape) stacks with either of the other two and the other two never can stack.

>>50284937
you were probably a bit too focused on your shit.

>>50284850
>>50284937

Yeah, I just wondered how the wildshape stuff is handled because it's weird, if you were already large and used that wildshape, then you would still be able to be enlarged because you're not getting bigger but because you can't if you start as a medium?

It makes sense I guess just a bit counter intuitive to me since wildshape doesn't make you grow larger, just turns you into a creature of size large which I would read as being your base size in that form.

Oh well, I'll settle for being large with the Powerful stuff making me almost Huge.

>>50284955

Something is foul in the state of your campaign when players can't be bothered, or simply can't, hold conversations between each other over nothing.

What do you think of this class?

>>50285251
Throwing out comments as I see them:

Full BAB and 6th level casting is a little high if I recall correctly, especially with good saves across the board and a d12 hit die. They've got to have some not perfect points somewhere.

>>50285376
I was thinking about that. I'm probably going to demote one of those pieces, but I haven't decide which yet. I've been trying to think of some way to "fake" the good-at-everything feel in an elegant way without just having all big numbers, but I haven't figured out what yet.

I would not let someone play it.

>>50285376
>>50285437
>>50285441
Also, on a side note: Magus chassis is 6th level casting, full BAB, *and* gets class abilities specifically to make full BAB and 6th-level casting work together well, which this doesn't.

So I don't feel that that by itself is problematic, but a combination of that and all-good saves are probably too much.

>>50285437
Reduce it to a bad reflex save, reduce to 3/4 BaB.

>>50285453
Magus chassis is not full BAB. Its 3/4 BAB you mong.

>>50285453
It gets stronger than the most powerful shapechanging ability all the time. No seriously is dumb strong. It's WAY too much. It blows other 6 level casters out of the water easily.

So I know far to much about and watch far too much anime and manga. I have what /a/ would consider pretentious tastes, but I can recommend you some stuff. What genres/themes are you looking for? Tell me some titles you have enjoyed in the past.

>>50285492

Keijo!!!!!!!!

Now I have a problem. Do I focus on my tsundere ronin (Paladin|Rubato) or a motherly Urgathoan (Cleric|Stalker) for RotJR?

>>50285973
My permanent movie recommendation is Whiplash. If you're looking for an anime style movie, anything by Satoshi Kon. Perfect Blue or Paprika for something creepy, Millennium Actress or Tokyo Godfathers for less so.

>>50285973
I recommend Drifters or Jin-Roh

>>50285981

>thrush

What, like the bird?

I'm about 99% sure you're not going to be able to make an independent character that's small enough for it at level 1, unless I've missed a race that can turn into a bird like kitsunes can turn into foxes.

>>50285766
Keep in mind the size penalty to attack, though. It'll be hitting up to a -4 or -8 to attack rolls when a greater polymorphing gish will only take -1 or -2.

>>50285991
>Record of Lodoss war is pretty 10/10.

I might have to see that, same with Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

>>50285999
>Tell me some titles you have enjoyed in the past

I'm a turbo-pleb when it comes to anime and manga; the only stuff I've read or seen include Vinland Saga, Monster Musume and One Punch Man (both the manga and anime.) I've also been reading Murenase! Shiiton Gakuen because Lanka best girl.

As for movies, it's also fairly eclectic; I'm not looking for some slow-moving flick, but rather something fast-paced and full of action, like John Wick.

>>50286042
>but rather something fast-paced and full of action
I'm going to reiterate my Whiplash recommendation. It's about music, sure, but it's as intense as they get.

>>50286042
>I'm a turbo-pleb when it comes to anime and manga

The only anime I have ever enjoyed are Ghost in the Shell, Samurai Champloo and Hellsing.

>>50286042
RoLw is based of an actual DnD campaign, so its pretty neat watch. Just a warning the Elf in the DnD campaign was a dude, changed into a female for anime reasons.

>>50285973
The Slayers anime is pretty great. It's pretty much "D&D with a group of slackers, the anime series". Each season starts with dumb hijinks (blowing up bandits to steal from them, blackmailing city elders to pay off the adventurers to leave early, etc) and gradually turns into serious plots, usually with demons or other extraplanar threats involved.

Thanks guys, you're the greatest! I'll be sure to do Records of Lodoss War tonight, and if nothing comes up for tomorrow I'll do Whiplash and Slayers.

What would you recommend for a "junk food" watch or read? I'm talking stuff like Murenase or Musume or the myriad of easily-digestible, "tasty" shows or manga.

>>50286042
So here is a recommendation for something I very much enjoyed, and while it is not action based it is high tension and drama. Go watch Kaiji. It is about high stakes gambling in a variety of games and situations.

Thinking of fast paced and full of action there are many choices, but often the more action packed anime tend towards being aimed at younger audiences. Samurai Champloo is a thought, I saw it years ago but remember enjoying it quite a bit. Black Lagoon and Cowboy Bebop as well.

I'm choosing titles easily digestible by someone who hasn't gone through a lot of Japanese media.

For movies go watch Sword of the Stronger for very high action with excellent choreography. It is styled after old Samurai films. Ghost in the Shell is a cyber punk movie with quite a bit of action, standalone complex, the series that is its sequel, is very different but highly enjoyable.

There is also a seven movie series called Kara no Kyoukai that is Urban Fantasy. I personally like it a lot, but it may be difficult for someone without much experience with the Nasuverse. It is set in modern day japan (actually it might be 90s japan).

The Mardock Scrambles films are also excellent cyberpunk with plenty of action.

If you like racing (even if you don't you should still watch it) Redline is one of the most fantastically animated and most hype films I have ever seen.

>>50286119

...and instead of going out and becoming the destined hero, fucks around doing odd jobs and making friends with weirdos. And drags the goddess who reincarnated him into it to punish her for making fun of how he died.

>>50286141

That show had no right to be as good as it was.

Megumin's VA was *ace.*

>>50286123
To summarize I will just make a list (plus add some more):

Series:
>Easy for non japanese media watchers
Kaiji
Black Lagoon
Cowboy Bebop
Samurai Champloo
Psychopass (Season 1 and Movie only)
Standalone Complex

>Bit Harder
Space Battleship Yamato 2199
Gunbuster
Texhnolyze
House of Five Leaves

Movies:
>Easy
Sword of the Stranger
Ghost in the Shell
Mardock Screamble
Redline

>Little Harder
Kara no Kyoukai

>>50286194

House of Flying Daggers and Thirteen Assassins are also two good non-anime movies to watch (the first one's Chinese but hey, it's still good.)

>>50286194
>PsychoPass

Be warned, this one of those series that annoys a lot of people because it's well-executed but some of the basic premises are really dumb.

>>50286141
If you want a version of this kind of show that takes itself seriously as opposed to being a comedy series I'd suggest "Is it Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?".

Essentially it's a series wherein the protag is the standard shonen kid with a loser goddess with a boob ribbon, and tries to make his way in the world by going into a huuuuuge dungeon with monsters very similar to Pathfinder levelling systems.

>>50286214
I completely agree. It is a very hit or miss series for a lot of people.

>>50286081

>Halfway in first episode
>Thief is a money-grubbing amoral shifty type
>Got like, two typical SELFLESS WARRIOR types
>Cleric tanking the gargoyles and owning the characterization
>Dwarf doing Dwarf things
>Fuckin' Deedlit

Oh my god why have I never seen this before.

>>50286194
>Kara no Kyoukai
It's fun and pretty well-executed but has some of Nasu's annoying quirks. It's not for everyone, I would say, and that doesn't even have anything to do with like Japanese media.

>>50286040
No I meant like making the race up from scratch. Specifically, I couldn't find how to make an animal-type race nor a diminutive-sized one in the race builder.

>>50285754
Not yet, but I've been considering it. Game on sunday so... yeah I've been thinking about it.

I'm not fucking twelve anymore, I don't need to hear people talk about how good they are at getting drunk for two hours in between bits about pokemon go and how trans they've gotten.

>>50286297
That's why I said it's issue was familiarity with the nasuverse.

>>50286304
>animal-type race

Not going to happen, because animals definitionally have Int less than 3. Even familiars are of the magical beast type.

>nor a diminutive-sized one

Diminutive-sized from level 1 doesn't happen because even Tiny is pushing it in terms of the advantage it gives to spellcasters and sneak attack archers.

My thoughts:
>Archmage - Neothelid
>Champion - Gug
>Guardian - Otyugh
>Hierophant - Naga
>Marshal - Aboleth
>Trickster - Intellect Devourer

I love what you're doing here, by the way, and hope it works out for you.

>>50286729
Oh I hadn't even thought about Naga or Otyugh, thanks! I thought about Neothelid and while they are at the top of the totem pole they also don't have any particular magical aptitude built in, whereas the Seugathi has the item use thing going on, even though they're part of the life-cycle in some horrible fashion.
Gug is a great one to have there, gonna be fun to play with.

It looks like it's going to be a fun character to play, and I've already got plans to eventually set up a mindscape for him that contains representations of all his spirits/emissaries. Vaguely debating if I should try to get the DM to allow the legendary archmage spirit outside of its usual archetype just for the personal spire bit to make it even more real/summon emissaries of his emissaries to party with.

Would D&D be about Dungeon Crawls if it werent for The Hobbit?

>>50286909

We wouldn't *have* DnD without The Hobbit.

>>50286909
Pretty unlikely, all told.

chances are, it'd be a lot more regarding fantasy political fiction if Tolkien hadn't written his stories.

>>50286909
>>50286949
>>50286952
It wouldn't be D&D, but dungeon crawling is a cheap and easy narrative structure. It'd definitely still be involved in whatever was there instead.

>>50286952

It also wouldn't have Elves or Dwarves or Orcs, just different types of Humans and *maybe* demons.

I'm a nobody in terms of RPGs, production and business. If you were in calgary I woulda been able to talk LGS's because I've made an effort to befriend all the local owners. If you want I could ask about their distributors for you but I don't know how much that would help when you're so far away.

>>50288458
Hey Gareth, I've got some feedback on the Malefex for you.

The biggest thing to me is that a fair number of the Malefactions don't feel particularly useful while I'm looking them over. I'd recommend taking a second look at the following:

>Sandman's Deception
The problem with this one is there's no way to silence or hide the casting of Malefactions, meaning casting this on a target is going to alert them anyways. Against an ooze, it effectively blinds them, sure, but that's a pretty rare instance when most enemies you'll send the campaign fighting have eyes, ears, and decent perception checks.

>Censure: Succor
This feels like another one of those extremely niche abilities that only comes up on the rare occasion when you're fighting, for example, a troll. I feel like it may need a bit of help to make it less situational.

>Confiscate: Blood
This feels like kind of a crappy ability because you can accomplish this with a feat and a longbow. Said feat is even located on the same document.

>Suspicion
this seems like the sort of ability that only comes up when you know your target is going to be buffed by said enemy's ally, which you're usually better served by preventing by going after the caster in the first place. I don't know, it feels odd and just as situational as the last two.

>Oath of Spurned Arcana
See Suspicion. This ability is largely in the same boat.

Overall, I like the class, though I could do with it having some more ability damage effects readily available before level 20. It feels like it's the kind of ability that would be good for the class and fits thematically, but there's next to no ways to do it; one ability at level 15, and one at level 20.

Knocks are all good, though. I've have trouble picking between them, and I'd never give them up for Rust Picker's Brilliant Planner stuff, even if I really like Rustpicker.

I'll revisit Sandman's Deception later. Succor...Succor I have to express a soft disagreement on. I'm a little worried about it myself but at the same time for much of my audience it's already going to look and, potentially, /be/ strong.

Confiscate: Blood I'm revisiting with Jolly here soon.

Suspicion I'm not sure what to say on because when it's relevant it's fairly damn relevant. I'll see what further feedback comes in, same with Spurned Arcana.

Can I get you to expand on why you feel Rustpicker's not worth what it trades, considering the sheer versatility on offer from being able to produce items on demand?

Quick summary of contents?

>>50288600
Closest I've got is that Bossman: Viking Edition believes it's available through Amazon.ca

>>50288906
I don't know how closely it relates because I haven't looked over what you have but after playing a psion in 4e that could do exactly that (Spontaneously produce items) it pretty quickly gets forgotten at any level where you have the resources to purchase things and just stuff them in a bag of holding. Does what it trades out equal about the same in terms of value/gp vs +1-5 enchantment items?

>>50288906
>Ability Damage
Much, much less character-destroying in Pathfinder than it was in 3.5, believe me. Even ability drain isn't nearly as bad as it was before.

>Rustpicker
I like it. I really do. the trick is, though, just what >>50288943 said. Mundane versatility falls very rapidly in the face of a character with high WBL, and it's just not really worth as much as actual class abilities since it's very rare for mundane items to scale to any reasonable degree.

>>50288900
Oh. Ouch.

I game in person, with like 8 buddies from university. Or at least I did. Haven't gamed since I moved out here. Not motivated to gather a group here, as I expect I will be moving back within the year because the job I moved here for did not pan out (boss didn't like me, found an excuse to find me unsuitable for the job before probation ended).

I rarely (basically never) do anything at an LGS these days. I will go there if I am looking for something and I expect there is a chance they might carry it. I certainly never game there. And they rarely have what I'm looking for in stock, or the prices are absurd.

I would pay to join a gaming club. Like a golf club; with facilities, and annual membership fees, and whatnot; if it was any good. But I'm not going to game at an LGS, and again, they very rarely have what I'm looking for if what I'm looking for is an RPG product.

So I now generally buy my RPG Books online.

You're the second person to make this particular error. Rustpickers - actually, /anyone/ with Brilliant Planner - can pick up any item they can afford, including magical ones. That's the power they trade half their knocks for: magic on demand, including scrolls, potions, and anything else they can pay for our of their brilliant plan fund.

Looks great. I'd suggest looking at some of the archetypes for more AWT ideas, since some of those are good

>>50288993
Huh, well shit. In that case, that's quite a bit more powerful than I originally thought. Given that magical items are one of the single most powerful commodities in the entire game, I withdraw my previous complaint about it.

Though, I will admit, the monetary limit does feel a tad low, but that's just a personal thing. 100 gold per level is a pittance.

I have to agree with this guy >>50289049 . Basic Brilliant Planner, at level 5, gives you all of the equivalent of 2% of your WBL able to be used on it, and 100 gold isn't much better at 5%.

To have it be a worthwhile investment, about 8%-10% is almost necessary, otherwise it's just not enough. It's the reason why Brilliant Planner gets no attention in the first place.

to hit that level, you need about 200 per level up to about level 10, at which point you need to start jacking it up to around 400-500 per level.

This is schrodinger's items, of course, but it requires you to already be investing cash in it. That makes higher numbers actually viable to work with, since it requires investment from the character's own coffers.

>>50289083
Ah. How nice.

Me and 3 others started a Uni wide RPG club. Mini-Conventions twice a semester. Raffled prizes including gaming products donated by publishers. Averages about 150 people a year, maybe 25ish people a year in turnover. People from outside the university can join, and we canvassed and advertised our mini- convention-events at the local LGS's.

Over the 3 years we had it before I graduated I met a LOT of gamers. My regular group is 8 of the like, 16 best gamers from that club over those three years.

Club is still going strong from what I hear (I don't live in that city anymore sadly), and the gaming community in that town skyrocketed after we started it.

In addition to the mini-conventions, there is a meet and greet at the beginning of the year, followed by a coordination event once a semester. That coordination event is basically a matchmaking service for people looking for games and GMs looking for players. As a university club, we had access to book empty classrooms for club events (like game sessions).

It was fucking fantastic.

For 2 years I averaged like, 50 hours a week of in-game play (like, 4 ongoing campaigns, some twice a week, others with very long sessions). Sure it was hell on my grades, but I haven't used my degree professionally since 2013 anyways because I hated the work conditions, and nobody ONCE asked me what my marks were like when I applied for work.

He's never really had to "clean up". He was raised in a monastery and has spent his last couple years on a pilgrimage. He performs at night in bars singing songs of heroes, wizards, kings and damsels that could make a serf fall in love with a wink but you hardly need to clean up to be a bard. He's cute but the scars on his body aren't all that appealing and his limp isn't very regal

you're suffering from decision paralysis Tbh

>>50287894
I'd disagree with Malefactions being reduced to rounds/level, that would severely kill the use of a lot of choices like Face Stealer, Steal Talent, Sandman's Deception (which the earlier anon was right about, I don't ever see myself choosing this as a PC), and others.

They're the classes only real unique utility beyond just being good at skill checks, and I think they should keep it.

>>50289455
Are you sure? I feel more like I'm just having too many ideas. I also don't know how I can spend 6+ hours of just looking up stuff in the psfrd and writing stuff about characters I usually don't end up using.

>>50289494
Write stories with them or something?

>>50289504
Tbh I haven't written any stories in about a year or so. I haven't really had the motivation to write, mostly because I end up treating it like work and it stresses me out. Also because writefagging always looks cringy if you show it to someone else unlike drawfagging which doesn't help me want to do it.
Maybe I do have that decision paralysis after all.

Guys, I'm a complete fag got and am looking for build advice. My GM's limiting my bullshit, so it's got to be strictly paizo stuff, and even then some might get veto'd.
I'm going Hunter mostly, I think. Really wanting to focus on my animal companion. I was flat told no on any dinosaur, but he let me refluff a raptor as a giant chicken. I am determined to make this chicken the best thing ever. So far, I'm thinking halfling so I can burn a feat on undersized mount and ride him- not to mention haflings have a racial trait to add +2 to one of an animal companion's stats.
Is there anything else i can do for him that I've overlooked? I'm looking for any help at all. Level's unimportant, we're starting a bit low (2-3) but I think we'll be advancing fairly quickly.

Low wis, decently high int. Probably terrible cha.
I'd play him as a rogue, mostly due to his penchant for disguises and trickery.
If you want to go with a caster, I think a wizard is more appropriate. He's got a vast array of tricks, but he tends to fail because the magic of friendship hits him with something he's not ready for.
You're right about deception and illusion. I'd also add control and generally being bothersome. Be irritating and deny your opponent their natural advantages rather than attacking directly, but carry a dagger, a net, and a sling or bolas.

He never leaves home without Grease prepared.

Of course, I only have limited familiarity with the source material, so there's probably too much Wile E Coyote in there. You'll have to figure that part out.

It's also because the whole mercenary "fuck it, I'm in for the gold" attitude very old hat by this point. Sure, the money should be a motivation, but at least give us a reason they're trying to make that filthy lucre.

Heck, if you're going to be a mercenary than at least be hired on in a mercenarial position; "I'm in it for the gold" makes sense if you're fighting under a lord's banner, it doesn't make sense when you're exploring a tomb for some goblins.

Pfft, now you're just convincing me all the work-trouble is your fault, you don't go doing those kinds of things with a lord's woman without expecting consequences.

>>50292556

I have tried to explain to my players that they're going to make money adventuring whether that's the character's stated goal or not, so having other reasons their character ever leaves the fucking tavern would expedite having adventures as opposed to haggling with yet another fucking NPC about the precise figure the obvious plot hook is worth before deciding it's not enough and ignoring the hook.

>>50292625

Goblins carry shit gold and tombs are best left undisturbed, being a filthy grave robber that tears the tapestries off walls to make an extra gold piece are not just unbecoming of a proper individual, but open to all sorts of consequences.

>>50292639

I have, but I've also needed to have a word with the guy who seemed slow to grasp that the plotlines two of the party members suggested to me not being about him does not mean they aren't unimportant sidequests he can ignore to try and find more gold.

Particularly since his friend in the group tends to follow his lead when there's not a fight going on so I get the paladin's player coming to me with an idea for finding their missing partner and needing to work, reluctantly, with their extremely corrupt sister's agents, the ranger just wanting to jump on any adventure that sounds like it'll make him more famous, and the wizard deciding neither of those are compelling reasons for him to not sit in the bar all day with the barbarian unless someone offers a big enough bag of coins for him to move his lazy ass.

It wasn't a good campaign and it went nowhere fast. Really drove home that it was important to do session 0s, which my group hadn't really done before, but since then I've also made a point that all players should have a goal beyond "get paid" and that I'm not going to run if only one player coming to me with ideas for their character also means half the party will bail on them whenever I advance that plotline.

Hi, /tg/, it's "What feat should I take" question.

No 3pp. 20 PB. Starting level - 3. I'm planning up to 10. Goal is - simple "down to earth" two-handed fighter.

My class of choice was Ranger - full BAB, good skills, eventually - spellcasting.
I really do not like animal companions, so it's Freebooter for some bonuses for me and party.
Favored Enemy and Terrain isn't for me too, so I selected second archetype - Shapeshifter.
I don't want to use Intimidate out of combat, so I take Intimidating Prowess only before taking Cornugon Smash.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Plan so far:

Human Ranger 10 (Freebooter, Shapeshifter)
Str: . . 18
Dex: . . 14
Con: . . 12
Int: . . 10
Wis: . . 14
Cha: . . 6

Feats:
1: Power Attack, Furious Focus
2: Weapon Focus: Falchion [combat style feat]
3: ??
5: Intimidating Prowess
6: Vital Strike [combat style feat]
7: Cornugon Smash
9: Imp.Critical: Falchion
10: Imp.Vital Strike [combat style feat]

I'll max Perception, Survival, Spellcraft, Intimidate and Acrobatics (almost)
And put 1-2 points in various class skills like Climb, Knowl.Nature, etc.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So my question is - what should I take as my 3rd level feat?
Or 5th level, if I'll take "Intimidating Prowess" earlier.

"Toughness" is boring, while, probably, useful. "Learn Ranger Trap" is so-so. "Cleave" branch I do not want that much.
But I hope there are feats that will contribute more or are more interesting \ provides some new options.

It's Bab +6, can't take it that early

>>50293153

>>50293166

He is a homebrewer with crippling depression that writes 3pp.

Also dying of the heart murmurs.

>>50293166
No, he's a homebrewer. Probably a microbrewer.

>>50293153
take it instead of vital strike which is garbage.

i mean you're already getting rid of animal comp

why are you even playing a ranger.

Just play a fighter, your spellcasting is garbage anyways.

>>50293182
Microbrewer? Never heard that term before.

>>50293207
Named bullet tho

>>50293253

It's a term (in the United States, at least) for single-building brewers who produce "custom" flavors, of ten seasonal.

The guy that bought a beer making kit and has a couple jugs in the basement is technically a microbrewer.

>>50293207
Shapeshifter is locking me into "natural combat style", where Vital Strike is better then other options. Also, I'll use VS anyway from time to time after using Freebooter's Bane as a Move.

> i mean you're already getting rid of animal comp
> why are you even playing a ranger.
> Just play a fighter, your spellcasting is garbage anyways.
If I'd want animal companion, I'd take Hunter. Also, Fighter is just worse. I'd lose my garbage spellcasting, ability to use wands, 4 skillpoints per level, good reflexes, Freebooter's Bane etc etc for what? Slightly higher bonuses to hit and damage? I don't even need that many feats

>>50293281
>for what? Slightly higher bonuses to hit and damage?
Advanced weapon training, advanced armor training and weapon mastery feats.

>>50293207
>>50293281
I do not want to be rude. It's just - I don't think Fighter should be here at all.
But I thank you for your answers

>>50293281
Play a fucking druid and take a domain

>>50293321
Let's take starting (3rd level) Druid is more for spellcasting and versatility. Ranger is just about smashing faces. I'm not arguing, Druid is stronger. But it's also different, he can't just do the same thing. Esp. at lover level.

>>50293356
actually he will do the same thing, and better, because he will have better wildshape, which is what he wants.

Ok, so let's take 3rd level (starting, according to initial post).
Mentioned Ranger have this combat statistic (all day long):

Attack: +10
Damage: 2d4+10

(+2 attack, +3 damage for one battle)

Attack: 3 bab + 4 str + 1 mwk weapon + 1 freebooter's bane + 1 focus - 0 PA
Damage: 6 str + 3 PA + 1 Fr.Bane

Can you show me your Druid's numbers? To compare.

I'm not against the idea for modifying the character I was thinking of applying to RotJR with for duo apps, but the logistics of a duo app to a four person game is a little worrying

Glad someone saved that

I meant in terms of TTRPGs

Yeah, dual-app for four player games is awkward at best, imo; dual-app for four player games when you have sixty-odd potential applicants is worse.

I've got folders for everything. Everything. My favorite is my dog boy folder.

Tell us about your character, I won't say we should write a duo app, but if we both get in than we'd at least have a solid idea how the two of us know each other or even live together.

Wildshaping into a bear nets you 3 attacks, 40 move speed and +2 str. Assuming similar ability modifiers you lose a little on attack power but make up for it on extra attacks. Not to mention you can also go elephant instead for similar numbers but better AC or cheetah for more move speed, less attack but 3 attacks per round still, and at 4 you go ape for even more boosts and 7 is the all mighty tiger for pounce.

Not that anon, but one should probably take that to the roll20 just to avoid clogging up the thread. Hell, if it helps I'll make a thread over there for talking about this very thing. (not the GM either but i think members of the group have the power ot make new threads)
