CONSTRUCTION MAN 2.jpg
105KB, 671x995px
While I am not likely to follow up on any of this to make a character for anything, I must ask important theorycrafting questions in the name of better CONSTRUCTIONING. Especially since "that set of chargen rules" has been floating around and making me very curious.

>How would a Promethean Alchemist's homunculus interact with the Spheres version of Alchemist (Archaic Alchemist), given that the homunculus has a clause that allows it to prepare and benefit from extracts as though it were the alchemist?
>Assuming that the RAW breaks, how would you PERSONALLY rule it? Is allowing the Homunculus to just use sphere abilities "as if it were the alchemist", using the Alchemist's Sphere-related numbers (CL, casting modifier, etc) too big of a stretch, even if you add a clause preventing them from both using sphere abilities at the same time? (no double destructive blasts or some other bullshit, for example)
>Then throw PoW into the mix for gestalt, assuming you had something along the lines of... Fuck, I dunno, Alchemist||Warder or Alchemist||(Vigilante) Stalker? Obviously the Homunculus shouldn't automatically gain access to everything the Alchemist has, but what kind of things would you allow the player to get away with by spending discoveries?

>>
>>50334326

Shit son, I can't tell you that, it was just the whole pre-Vengeance vibes Abrogail was giving off - she was always an extremely powerful, petty teenage girl that was a handful and a half for her devilish caretakers. There were lots of implications that she was self-indulgent and more focused on herself than matters of State.

And yet in the more recent works they aged her up, and now she's more "cunning, brutal and cruel" than "hedonistic and withdrawn."

For all the memery, I see quite a few humans in Pathfinder.

Like both of the parties I'm currently in are mostly human.

Like half of the ACTUALLY posted characters for the Rise of the Jade Regeant meme game are humans.

And honestly I say, go Human or go wierd. Elves, Gnomes, and Halfings are boring as piss. Dwarves can be OK.

How many kitsune are in the ERP game?

Hello Elegan/tg/entlemen and ça/tg/irls of /pfg/ I'm fairly new to pathfinder and require a bit of advice. My group is currently using no third party books and own only the core and advance rule book and ultimate combat and I would like to stay within those books.

I'm creating a wizard of the school of transmutation, using the subschool of enhancment found in the advance player guide. I want to play a wizard to buffs his ally and hinder his enemies and would like to stay away from magic missiles and fire balls if possible.

I can't decide my prohibited schools of magic. I was thinking illusion and evocation maybe?

What are the must have spells you would suggest? Magic weapon and bull's strength seems like good choices.

I have a good idea of feats to get, but your advice are also welcome.

I'd like to keep it simple since it's my first pathfinder game and stay within the core and advance book and avoid the other supplements.
>>
>>50334613
Yes, part of the reason /pfg/ wanks Tieflings and shit so hard is because most people play humans(and basically nothing else).
>>
>>50334613
i literally think the only half-orc thats been talked about is Gamagirly.
>>
>>50334608
The RotJR characters in the discussions thread are human, tiefling, aasimar, dhampir, human, human, human, oread. So half is right on the money.

>>50334613
Tieflings are common because the stat boosts are almost as versatile as humans, but there are a ton of humans.
>>
>>50334641
There is at least one, and I vaguely recall that his human form is that of a 26 year old man that works as a glassblower or something.
>>
>>50334650
To be fair she get shit posted about a lot.
>>50334641
So far none.
The break down is
>Oni Tiefling monk
>Dhampir Occultist/Inquisitor
>Human Psychic Rogue
>Human Elementalist/Entropic Sage
>Human Zweisent
>Human Summoner
>There's another guy with a backstory but I don't see a race mentioned
>>
>>50334641

None, literally zero. One guy wants to apply with a Hero Fox (you could call him a "Star Fox") but he hasn't posted yet.

I'd argue there's hardly any overtly lewd characters even in the Character Discussion so far.
>>
>>50334644
Also prohibit necromancy.

Grease, Web, and Create Pit are the starting best utility spells.

Play a Dwarf and be a jew by creating magical items really really fast with a Valet Familiar. Not actually sure what rulebook Familiar Archetypes are in.

True, and even then the only reason she's lewd is she's described as being both muscular and shapely.

Anja seems to have some lewd potential with her Eidolon.

DepressedHomebrewer is working on a character for RotJR, a dwarf with +22 to diplomacy at level 3 that he plans to use to build relationships with all of the female NPCs and then pick which one he goes for a romance with later.

Very true, and wasn't there at least three really fun-sounding lewd character concepts that are getting worked on? Razmiran Priestess and Rebound Slut are two that come to mind.

We've all read the FAQ. If it would stack in this case is really up for debate because of the wording of infiltrator. If the FAQ named infiltrator I'd be on your side, but the wording of infiltrator seems to imply a specific trumps general rule and in this case it would work.

>>
>>50335395
Here are the two sides to the argument.
1) You can't stack WIS+WIS to your diplomacy.
2) You're right, but NTRDwarf is using Wisdom as his normal diplomacy modifier, and the Infiltrator says "she adds her Wisdom modifier on Bluff and Diplomacy skill checks in addition to the normal ability score modifiers." Since Wisdom is his normal ability score modifier, he can.

That's kind of a difficult question since all of them are really cool in their own way.

Of the ones posted, it's a toss-up between Casimir and Shizuka.

Of the ones discussed here, it's gotta be NTRDwarf, though I'm intrigued to see how Razmiran Priestess develops.

>She adds her Wisdom modifier on Bluff and Diplomacy skill checks in addition to the normal ability score modifiers.

Specifically it says you are adding wisdom, in additional to the normal, which in this case is wisdom.

Unless you're one of those people who also says Mindchemist doesn't work because specific doesn't trump general.
>>
>>50335441
And? Those are different bonus types.

>>50335448
Problem there is that #2 works when you're adding both Wisdom and Charisma because they don't run into the FAQ rule, but when you change it to Wisdom double stacking, then it hits the FAQ.
>>
>>50335477
Mindchemist works because it specifically says to add it a second time.

>>50335403

NTRDwarf because he isn't Uguu cute, and obvious fetish, cutsey, or a reference

And it this case it specifically says to add in addition to the normal modifier. I don't understand the issue.

>>50335483
>but when you change it to Wisdom double stacking, then it hits the FAQ.
Again, I would agree with you if the ability didn't say "in additional to the normal ability score modifiers". His normal is Wisdom, he is adding Wisdom in addition to it.

Could be. Usually isn't. Also just the general trope of Wizards not using Necromancy unless they go hyper Necromancy.

A dwarf is technically a medium creature, but fits in with the small crowd. He could have the same problems. At level 6 you can be crafting 8000gp worth of items in a day when normal adventurers would be crafting 1000gp worth.

>old image is old
The original prospect was a humanized version of another character of mine, who would've been best fit as a giant brawler of sorts. However, due to campaign restrictions, I opted to do something a little different by making what would've been that character's polar opposite: short, fat, pale as snow, grumpy, and studied magic. Thus Elsbeth came to be.

The 'antennae' are more of a callback than anything.
>>
>>50334644
Evocation and divination would be the go to to dump, alternatively just plan the spells you want to get/plan to take at levels, and then pick your dump schools based off what you don't plan to be using. But most divination spells won't be stuff you prep every day so the malus from the dropped school will matter little, and you plan to not use evocation at all from the sounds of it.
I would say focus into conjuration instead of transmutation since conjuration has spells at every level you will want, and if you don't have a spell at that level that you want preped that bonus spell slot goes to waste.

Maybe I misunderstood.
Weren't you talking about dipping sorcerer (standard) with incanter (spheres of power)? Is there another incanter class I never heard about?
>>
>>50336153
Incanter isn't a different system.

The issue is that it's VERY dippable and actively encourages you to just dip it because you can just sacrifice all of your bonus feats for bonuses for +1 Caster Level to your chosen sphere, and one or two other goodies.

I honestly think that was the intent since Sphere is very much "build a mage" and Incanter lets you decide your mental stat(which then applies to the rest of your sphere classes).

>>50336006

You do you, anon! Hope you have fun making the character!
>>
>>50336213

Sorcerer has a Sphere of Power version. Most destruction casters like to dip it because of Blood Havoc and Orc/Dragon/Primal Element Bloodline boosts to their blasts(much like most Casters in standard Vancian want to do).

I'll look into it. I had plan to craft wands for my personal use, but never thought about going full artisan.

From the introduction our GM gave us, it seems necromancy isn't shunned by the scholars of the Art as long as you don't go full Frankenstein. It's still seen badly by the superstitious commoners of his realm. But since magic isn't widely known, I doubt a peasant will make the difference between the schools of magic so I'm willing to take the chance.

A Magus||(Bushi/Vigilante) Stalker, likely going unarmored if possible, with the one trait for Dex to Dance, and probably using some of the Mithral Current skill-based counters since I'd be invested in it anyway. Come mid levels, even without skill focus it'd be total peanuts to make all the checks, because there's a rogue talent specifically to let you take 10 that a Stalker could swipe, but before that I'd be in hot water.

The thing is "trade in all of your bonus feats later for class features now" is something that we've never seen on a class before and has no real precedent.

That had to be intentional.

>>50336489
Honestly, this wouldn't have been a problem if they placed specific level requirements/limits in what you trade your feats for.

The issue is not the concept itself, but the fact that not all of the specializations SCALE.

Not certain I follow your question. The combination I suggested gets you this:
"You may spend a spell point to rally a target, allowing them to reroll a saving throw they just failed. They must take the second result, even if it is worse."
With Battlefield Manipulation, you can rally only yourself, but you can do it at anytime. So it becomes 'spend a spell point as an immediate action to reroll a saving throw", which will save your life.

Huh, neat. And you know what I realized? There's a feat in PoW that lets me take 10 at any time for a discipline-related skill, and its only prereq is 8 ranks in said skill. Even better, it works with all the discipline skills (with 8 or more ranks).

>Skill Focus: Perform (Dance) early on, then + Discipline Mastery at 9th level

I'd still suffer like a motherfucked before then, but with Inspiration, the checks can't be /that/ hard to make. Unless I absolutely have to decide whether I use inspiration before I make the skill check, which just means I'd have to look into making adding that free for Dance...

I think I speak for everyone here when I say we want a good RANGE of characters; some characters should be adorable, lovey-dovey types (even if they don't look it), some should be there for casual enjoyment and others should be some combination of the two.

It says so on the starting text. Most of the time nothing. Some Disciplines require discpline weapons (Iron Tortoise/sheilds, Broken Blade/Monk, Temptest Gale + Solar Wind/Ranged weapons), some work better with one (Thrashing Dragon/2WF, Scarlet Throne/2H weapons).

The only one that gives an actual benefit that I can think of is Broken Blade, that gives a +2 damage to any strike.

It does a lot of cool stuff that martials need but often in ways that people consider OP. Like using s skill modifier for a saving throw or to negate an attack/effect.

It has a much different balance point than normal pathfinder. It doesn't bring much in terms of out of combat to the table, but is far better at defense than any 1pp class due to how counters work. On a whole they're just different and thus a party with both tier 3 casters and initiators with even passing optimization don't function well together.

Particularly in order to challenge the Warlord's defense you're going to completely murder the bard.

Personally I agree that martials need help, but PoW feels like the wrong way to do it. Especially the skills being tied in. Should have kept it all to attack rolls. And the need to recharge moves feels rather vidya, performing combos to fill your super meter.

Still, it made for a really fun game based on the Souls series before.

Not everyone is a pouncebarian, but yeah the average fighter will wreck an initiator dumb enough to leave an opportunity for full attacks.

People have already crunched the numbers in regards to this.
Only at early/mid levels will an initiator beat a standard optimized 1pp martial, and only if they use specific maneuver schools with the feat/weapon/magic item support.
The multiple attacks/pounce capability of 1pp martials is what puts their damage sky high.
>>50337720
>Spells run out, skill rolls recharge
Spells only run out if the player is casually blowing multiple spells a battle, skill rolls must be rolled, and a bad roll means you lose the maneuver AND suffer whatever SoL you were trying to avoid.
>PoW really doesn't bring that much utility either
Have you looked over the maneuvers and stances? Shit like flight, invisibility, immunities, maneuvers that replicate spells are all on every school list by rote, on top of combat options that offer more than just damage.

You know that PoWers have pounces too, from Primal Fury and the like, right?

With what?
Their big damage numbers, that a dedicated blaster wizard can also do?
The lack of versatility they suffer to get those big damage numbers, unlike a wizard?

And honestly the recharging has gotten worse, basically everything recharges without having to expend anything much.
Bushi/Mystic Free/No action
Warlord/Harbinger Swift Action
Zealot Standard Action
Warder/Stalker Full Round
A Bushi Warlord is absolutely disgusting in play as it can just alternate between one to three maneuvers for all of combat.

Brute force blasting with waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay higher numbers than Paizo blasters? I'll take the spherecasters, thank you.

You can solve combat encounters by blowing everyone up in one turn.

Out of combat? It's a good thing my Spiritualism dip and drawback cheese is letting me cherry pick talents better than a wizard can!

I actually like Monty Cooke. :x

>>50337854
Yup. No big deal though, have fun with your class skills.
>>
>>50337767
Indeed there are, but PoW has tied a lot of combat abilities to skills in very odd ways. Counters would be much more reasonable if it was an attack roll instead of skills.

>>50337775
The vast majority of casters use multiple spells per battle, yes. Still, you can get skills too high to fail much more easily than other rolls.

Have they added utilty? I didn't pay much attention to the newer stuff, had enough after seeing the FF inflicting teleport.

Spherecasters totally blow out blaster wizards even WITHOUT that cheesy sorcerer dip.

WITH that cheesy sorcerer dip, fucking welp.

Intelligence to all social skills with incanter Conversion Inquisition...
>>
>>50337759
But the fighter doesn't without a lot of luck.
The fighter will probably only hit an equal level pc with his initial and possibly second attack, after that it is very unlikely to hit, the PoW character can counter one of those, then drop a strike that would do as much damage as if it had hit the fighter two to three times normally, and the fighter has no way to respond to this, he has to hope he can be lucky and the attack misses.

Except normal blaster wizards are also making that sorcerer dip 9/10 if they aren't sorcerers themselves.

That's practically mandatory
>>

You are helpless. You know that being 2hu is not the norm, right? Who the fuck am I kidding, /pfg/ doesn't deal in reality.

Social Skills aren't dominate person
Or Planar Travel

Or Simulcurum
etc, etc.

Unfortunately PoW can turn this off by virtue of counters that allow them to five foot step away.
Also not even most paizo martial can pounce, it takes a lot of extra effort to do so, meanwhile path of war can feat into using a maneuver at the end of a charge.
>>
>>50337930
Normal blaster wizards shit all over their casting progression with that sorcerer dip.

Spherecasters, on the other hand... haha, they were MADE to multiclass.

Also, spherecasters can just fucking IGNORE spell resistance, antimagic, etc. etc. with Stone Blast.

If the GM's dumb enough to allow custom blast talents using the blast type builder... hahahahahaha, oh lord.
>>
>>50337869
You're not getting enough bonus talents from drawbacks unless you're taking a truly obscene amount of them.

>>50337869

Where is that image from?

It's really cute.
>>
>>50337945
Those are 5th level spells, the point when regular wizards can beat spherecasters.
>>
>>50337972
Please, bitch, it's trivial to cheese drawbacks.

Especially Divination's drawbacks.
>>
>>50337962
>Normal blaster wizards shit all over their casting progression with that sorcerer dip.
Yes, they do and want to because +2/+3 damage per die is that fucking important.
>Also, spherecasters can just fucking IGNORE spell resistance, antimagic, etc. etc. with Stone Blast.
Doesn't /pfg/ complain about monster abilities straight up nullifying PC's. Besides stone blast is still subject to DR.

And there are blasting spells/powers that ignore SR and AMFs too.
>>
>It's a spheres vs PoW vs 1pp powerlevel discussion

At the end of the day I've stopped caring about the ceilings you can reach with each system, I just allow the ones that are fun to play, trust players not to fuck shit up, and kick out anyone who explicitly still fucks shit up after a warning to tone it down.

There's a talent to get past DR in the Destruction handbook.

Or you can just fire up Holy Smite and turn it all into sacred damage.

Requires you to be good aligned and you Advanced Talents are literally "ask your GM if you can take this"

If they didn't know how to balance advanced talents, they shouldn't have printed them.

Are you assuming every single Destruction caster ever is going to be Good aligned.

Especially given how most people RP blasty mages?
>>

You're probably fighting evil dudes anyway.

Yeah, that's true for most games and I'd still say Good characters aren't a majority.

>all you need is one feat
You mean craft wondrous item or magical arms and armour? I want to take craft wands and maybe brew potions. I guess wondrous items will also be useful.

And speaking of feats, when should I start taking spell focus and spell penetration, improve counter-spell? I feel like most spell related feats are so conditional that i'll only use it once in a blue moon. What are your thoughts on more general feats like improve initiative and the like?

Fetishposting at least ends up with some people having fun.

Optimization arguing just gets everyone upset.
