OP is a fag. But instead of bitching about it I'm going to do something constructive and present a new discussion question.

What is the biggest, nastiest, baddest muthafucka your party has ever fought? How did you beat it, or how did it crush you?

Then get around to posting your new backstory and sheet, and I'll comment it for you.

>>50408543
We had to fight a big ass giant (CR 14, we were a 5 person party of level 5s) and I (A Strangler Brawler) used my Sleeper Hold ability to knock it out instantly, letting us simply chop off his head. Definitely my proudest moment.

So I'm in a drow campaign as a cleric. What god should i worship? The Demon Lord Treerazer seems cool since hes basically the biggest "fuck you" to elves, and the nascent demon lord Nightripper just plain sounds awesome, though no particular connection to drow.

>looking at my 5 str character more

BULLIES EVERYWHERE.

>>50408614
>5 STR
Holy shit how I could get 6 or 7, but 5 like holy sweet baby Jesus fucking Christ in the ass (no homo) with some Aunt Jemima lube what the hell

>>50408653
for fun of course.

I really like Horizon Walker. What do people think about it? I am personally thinking of having it for my Fighter.

What traits should I get for Svana? I'm debating on Boar Resilience, but the effects aren't really useful and I don't want to just go with Reactionary or something. Maybe a Survival boost and Acrobatics boost?

Silvia's player here. I'm looking to improve my characte, mostly through the backstory writing and changing her personality to have her be more independent and a bit more easily embarrassed (though prideful).

Any advice on this /pfg/?

>>50408653
honestly its not like low str matters for a mage just bully the fighter into carrying it for you.

or buy some muleback cords

if you're not using strength, it doesn't matter at all :D

>>50408490
>I just dislike the idea of a character running off to something incredibly dangerous like adventuring when they have non-estranged family at home. Especially when it's something like Jade Regent and you are more or less doing it on a whim.

That's exactly why I didn't give him a kid, because being in a caravan on the Path of Aganhei is fucking dangerous and uprooting a child like that is just plain cruel. There are certain things you have to give up for a more harmonious game table, and it felt like a wife or child would have taken more out than it would put in.

>>50408688

Go with stuff that feels fun for your character or provides a skill that "clicks" with them, that's what traits are for! She's a motherly character from a close-knit village that suffered the plague, yeah? Sounds to me like she'd be Hardy, or whatever that heckin' trait is that gives you a +1 to Fortitude.

Here's a tip that I always use when I want to get form and function for a character's traits; go to the Trait Filter on PFSRD (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits/tools/traits-filter) and above "benefit" type in the skill or boost you want your character to have, and when it gives you the list just imagine which one clicks with your character the most.

>>50408478
How do I skald? I want a punchy skald who goes in, sings a pretty song and comes out with a few magic burned heads he chopped off from monsters with his shiny new axe/sword/pole-arm-if-need-be. Also are any of the archetypes worth the time?

>>50408678
>reducing your access to Advanced Weapon Training?
For what purpose? Unless you're just going in for 3 levels, and that's only if you know you're going to be in essentially the same terrain type all the time.

>>50408716
>mostly through the backstory writing and changing her personality to have her be more independent and a bit more easily embarrassed (though prideful).

She came from a big family that basically ignored her, yeah? Going from that to a huge gaggle of smiling, gregarious faces in service to Shelyn would be quite a shock - so much of a shock that, while she relishes the attention, she'd prefer to be in the corner passively absorbing the good vibrations.

>TFW I made a character for Jade Regent forever ago, specifically to romance Ameiko in a childhood-friend-romantic-comedy way that felt natural over the course of the campaign.
>Abandoned it when someone else came in with "LOL Imma 20 CHA Kitsune Bard who loves everyone".

It's been....5 years? Something like that? I've DMed Jade Regent since then, but never played it.

Probably for the best, I wouldn't want to see another DM butcher it.

>>50408543
The cacterrasque. We pissed off a really, REALLY crazy lich. Turns out when you have thousands of years and near endless boredom, you tend to do some really weird shit. In this case, the motherfucker decided it was a grand idea to transfuse the soul of a living terrasque into a tiny potted cactus, throw in some other insane magical bullshit and suddenly you're dealing with a 14 foot tall invincible cactus golem with a crazed lich playing jockey.

We lost 3 members of the party and the only reason it stopped is because it basically ran out of gas, and THEN we had to fight a particularly grumpy lich with a grab bag of magical items so absurd there was no consistent strategy to counteract them.

The lesson learned that day was that maybe you should just say hi to the lich who hasn't really hurt anyone in a few millenia instead of immediately trying to kill him for his shit.

So I was made aware of the Antagonize feat in the last thread and that got me thinking.

Could I as a crafter make an item that has a intimidate aura combined with the antagonize feat?
And if so.. how?

>>50408678
Rangers with the Warden archetype can add their favored terrain bonuses to allies, so thats good.

But generally im sorry to say Horizon Walker is not for you. Its best for rangers and rogues who already have lots of favored terrains, so that they can continue to build up favored terrain power. You would only have favored terrains from the prestige class, so you wouldn't really be taking advantage of what its supposed to give you. If you must take a prestige class, take a shadowdancer, hellknight, low templar or living monilith, those are cool and will grant you new abilities you can make use of, rather than abilities you will get less bonus out of than your fighter features.

>>50408780
>The cacterrasque.
That sounds positively evil.
So you gonna share the stats or what?

>>50408776
I did kinda want her to try and be a sort of "alpha female". But the general idea is that she's past it, but not really willing to let herself be as much of a wallflower after leaving the family. And I wanted to write in that she's terrified of repeating the mistakes of her mother's infidelity, so she's not comfortable with relationships.

>>50408776
>>50408716

Expanding on this, perhaps this is part of the reason why Silvia was sent to Sandpoint; it's a small, sleepy town where there aren't too many people to trigger her "oh gosh find a quiet place" instinct.

She's a woman that got taken out of a bad place and put in a good one, but *too much* of a good one, so she's getting introduced to the concept of love and openness incrementally.

Rolled 4, 3 + 3 = 10 (2d4 + 3)

Don't mind me, just determining something

As much as /pfg/ likes to complain about character's having no living families, this is how I feel a lot of the time. It's just really bloody hard to justify why any "sane" person would run off on a dangerous job like adventuring especially if the stakes where anything short of "the world/out lives as we know it end if noone does this", which they often aren't.

It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. More so than dead family does even if it is "cliche", but different strokes I guess.

Plan to make a stalker/bushi with strong focus on Mithral Current and Elemental Flux (Unorthodox Training). Any advices about wis-based kitsune race and feat selection, /pfguys?

>>50408890

Bah, that fits the mold of a Shelynite Paladin perfectly! Most of them are people who were damaged by toxic relationships, and sent out into the world to mend their own hearts as much as the hearts of others. Write away about her caution towards entering relationships, and perhaps include a bit how Shelynites might encourage her to whittle down that icy heart with friendship, courtly love and other things that can turn into romance.

I quite like how she's scared of entering a relationship because she thinks she might cheat, it adds a bit of a roadblock to overcome between her and whatever guy catches her fancy.

First time DM here. Entire group is experienced players (including me) but nobody here DM's except one dude who's gone for the moment. Planning on running my first adventure soon-ish.

What's a good adventure path/campaign/module/one-shot/whatever that i can pick up of the trove that's good for a beginner DM?

SEPTUM OCTAVIUS DUO

He was Tarrasque's all the way down, and he ruled over BAGWORLD, the place where all the stuff goes when you throw a bag of holding into a portable hole.

>>50408892
I do kinda like that reason to go to Sandpoint, but I don't know how it'd fit with my idea of having her volunteer to see the new temple as a Shelyn representative only as a means to start traveling the world.

>>50408976
Yes. Elemental flux is a lot better with a pool of animus, consider grabbing the first feat in the elemental flux style line for free action element swapping, and kitsunes belong in the fucking trash.

Is it actually possible to play a shapeshifter/character with multiple identities whose true form/identity is kept a secret from the other players, instead of just their characters? Is it a good idea? Nothing malicious mind you, just a shapeshifter who genuinely wants to be whatever it is they're pretending to be. What about if the players are in on it, but their characters aren't, would that work out better? Anyone tried that before? I did it one time and it was fun, but the game died for unrelated reasons shortly after and I've been itching to try it again.

I wonder if I should have focused more on the human Etan, rather than the kitsune Gil. Probably would have been more fun, but it's a little late to do anything fancy now.

>>50409007
>, the place where all the stuff goes when you throw a bag of holding into a portable hole.
I'm guessing be became fractal/awakened from eating all the BBEGs, McGuffins, and Evil Artifacts people have been throwing there for years?

>>50409010
And another question. Can stalker be effective with two-handed weapon and without Brutal Slayer archetype?

>>50408950
>It's just really bloody hard to justify why any "sane" person would run off on a dangerous job like adventuring especially if the stakes where anything short of "the world/out lives as we know it end if noone does this", which they often aren't.

The only time I've managed to pull that off in a really solid way was with Sigmund Caine, a woodsman whose entire reason for adventure was to rescue his daughter from the clutches of an evil dragon that had burned down his village.

How do text games even work? How do you keep it fair so everyone gets a chance to participate?

>>50409102

Text games are more fair than voice, man, people talk over people all the time; I'm a quiet person who doesn't like to interrupt so in voice games half the time I end up doing nothing all session because other people are louder than I am.

>>50408539
Same, I just don't know where to put hooks on Shizuka; I don't want to look too snowflakey or anything, is the thing!

>>50409051
I mean I guess, but why would you want to?
>>50409078
See that works since the goal is saving the family, that might be good for a one shot of if the dragon is the BBEG.

But the criticism about "no family/killed off family" was for a Jade Reagent game. Even the fucking NPC motivation is basically "Fuck, I don't really have much to live for. Let's go on a road trip!".

But sticking with the example, what would he do when the daughter is rescued? He doesn't really have a reason to fight anymore. I mean even if he's best buds with the PC's he still has a child to look after.

>>50408751
A big issue with Skald is that you're running a delayed, slower-progressing self-rage, with the advantage of it being conveyable to the rest of your party.

In a melee heavy party, he's going to be a support that brings some serious extra pain. Though, a standard Bard would be about equivalent. Both granting a +1 to melee attack and damage rolls. (Bard through a direct +1, Skald through +2 Str. So technically I think both should stack.)

However, Skald's hit/damage bonuses don't increase until lv8 and only once more at 16th. while Bard's start going up at 5th, and hits again at 11th and 17th.
On the other hand, Skald's Will bonus is flat, while Bard's is only against Fear and Charm effects. And skald's Will bonus starts at 4, and goes up every 4, while Bard's progresses at the same rate as their other bonus.

The other bonus Skald has over Bard, CON boosting, is there mainly to offset the -1 AC. Also, the standard Rage drawbacks of limitations on skills applies. Where it does not for bard.

The Skald, however, can impart a select few rage abilities through his song. And has two feats to his own that bestow Fast Healing equal to the STR Bonus. Skald's Vigor is for yourself, while at lv10 you can qualify for Greater (10 ranks in Song) which allows you to bestow it on all affected allies. Not much, but if you're going to have it up, a worthwhile consideration. Especially at the end of the day where your party may be wounded from encounters.

The Skald himself, thanks to the 3/4ths BAB and d8 HD isn't going to be the best at direct combat. However, you get scribe scroll as a bonus feat, and Spell Kenning as a class feature, meaning you can pretty well always have a useful spell on hand, even if you don't know it directly. Though, it may take some GM cajoling to use them in tandem.

Essentially, you're a themed bard, not actually a singing barbarian. Though, your rage song does qualify the furious weapon quality iirc.

>>50409007
Wasn't that in Fantasy Craft?

>>50408950
That's partly why Silvia's relationship with her family isn't great. They don't have to be dead, but she doesn't worry about them either. It also gives the option of a forgiveness arc of sorts, which could be neat.

>>50409138
I don't see how. Do you set it up so everyone gets a turn to talk to an NPC in text?

>>50409157

How is that even going to happen when you're an entire ocean way? Skype doesn't exist on Golarion yet.

Here's my character concept for RotJR

>Unchained Rogue || Mystic (Knight Chandler)
>Character is the son of a minor Taldan Noble, who fled to Corvosa after some political unpleasantness.
>Grew up helping his parents con/cheat/steal from everyone around them in order to get by, and maintain the semblance of a noble lifestyle.
>Learns to sword fight, in order to have his father's back if a con goes south.
>Pretty damn good at it; they start building up a tiny criminal empire.
>Gets too cocky for his own good, and tries to rob a couple of adventurers.
>Fails, gets beaten within an inch of his life.
>Bailed out by a Don Quixote-esque "knight," who's bearing the crest of a noble house
>Knows the guy is crazy, but also thinks he's a noble, and becomes the knight's "squire" in the hopes of getting closer to the money.
>Spends the next six months sleeping under bridges and tilting at windmills. Despite the fact that the knight is crazy, he legitimately comes to admire the man's idealism.
>Old man dies saving him from an ogre.
>A bit shaken up and confused, he starts the journey home.
>Upon arriving back in Corvosa, he sees someone getting mugged and, without thinking, he leaps to the person's aid, and gets stabbed in the process.
>At that moment, his Soul Candle manifests.
>Lying there, bleeding out in an alley, and staring at the physical manifestation of his soul, he comes to a realization.
>All he really wants to be is a Knight.
>Still bleeding, he limps home, gathers up everything on his father, and turns it into the guard; incriminating himself in the process.
>Flees the city, to find a quest that'll make up for all the shit he's done and ends up in Sandpoint.

>Ratfolk girl
>Guns n shit along with spells
>lives outside of Sandpoint on her own cause weirdo
>Uses cap of human guise to go into town and sell alchemy stuff when she needs cash
>Completely socially inept, rants and claims she's an insanely powerful witch while she sells stuff, everyone thinks she's just a weirdo but she makes decent alchemy stuff
>I'd like to say she tries to pull off the whole BIG HAT N BROOM witch look but cap of human guise limits
>Actually is all that shit but is completely chuuni about it

I'm feeling I have a good start on this character.

>>50409204
Well I'd be happy with her in my party.

>>50409170
Nah, you just set the scene up with the NPC and let them play their characters; people who want to ask questions ask questions, the NPC responds, usually one by one, occasionally getting annoyed if it would be in characte for the NPC to get annoyed at a bunch of smelly murderhobos yelling at him, that sort of thing.

>>50409216
i need to write up the rest of her but i'm just hammering some bullet point ideas out.

>>50409146
>but why would you want to?
Thematic reasons. Dislike scarred muscle girls.

>>50409223
I guess I just can't see how the flow of conversation would work unless people specifically state that they ask *after* another question is answered.

And what about combat? If you're on roll20, how exactly do you describe combat? Say what you plan to do before moving your token? After?

>>50409194

"It's a little too late to do anything fancy" meaning "I can't hide it from the actual players when it's already a thing that's out there and known about".

>>50409245
Generally, you say what you're doing OOC (I'm used to seperate OOC/IC channels), do the movement/rolling/etc, then fluff everything up at the end in my experience. So you'd go like 'I think I'm gonna move here to flank that gnoll with the rogue--actually, cast shocking grasp before that, then move there and discharge it 'cause I can do that, here's my attack and damage roll' and then you move your token, then IC you go 'Reginald the Wizard curses at his companion's ineptitude and rushes to aid the rogue, hand crackling with lightning. "Would you fools stop letting people ambush us?" He complains as the gnoll feels the fury of his electric fist.' in the IC.

She's a dirty bitch and a massive slut who got mad when her daddy said she wasn't allowed to have boyfriends anymore because of aforementioned massive sluttery.

This is a very biased view of the character.

>>50409347
this is accurate.

>sticking with the example, what would he do when the daughter is rescued? He doesn't really have a reason to fight anymore. I mean even if he's best buds with the PC's he still has a child to look after.

Friend, we've spent a year covering those loopholes; for one, Sigmund has made it explicitly clear he doesn't give a rat's ass about staying an adventurer, and will leave the business as soon as he was able.

It's just... shit got in the way. Turns out the daughter's mother (implied to be a Hag in my backstory) was a high-power Hamadryad and goddess of the continent (whom my character had some seriously sweet interactions with when we met her) and the daughter herself (by this point 16, Sigmund is 33 at campaign start... noticing a trend for my characters) is a mighty powerful conduit of arcane energy, something the BBEG will stop at nothing to get.

As soon as the BBEG is dead SO will Sigmund's adventuring career, he will find a nice place to retire and relax with his divine waifu (who was slated to die last session until some clutch decisions cost Sigmund the majority of divine power he acquired after helping Iomedae.)

>>50409330
Basically a victim of child abuse who naively believed her boyfriend actually loved her.
Nobody in sandpoint has seen her since she murdered her father.

Alright so for Svanas traits I've decided to go with;
>Righteous Indignation: Must make Will save (10+level) or be forced to take AOO, take -1 on Will saves against spells with (emotion) tag except fear
Svana may have very strong emotions (nice and not so nice ones), but she doesn't have that much control over them hence, she gets easily attached and easily angered
>Militia Veteran:+2 Survival
In Svanas old village everyone protected everyone, nobody was left out of this, the village militia (they never called it a militia however) was made up of every man and woman who could hold a weapon.
>Heirloom Weapon: Masterwork weapon with +1 bonus, proficient with this weapon
This is the fauchard (used to be a glaive, but those 18-20 crits man, plus it doesn't matter that it's exotic) that the Elder gave to her when the village was dying from the plague and told her to go adventure and remember the village (she doesn't actually know that her village died out, she doesn't even know about the plague).

Thoughts? Anything I should change?

>>50409358
>>50409347
That helps a bit.
I know the wiki says she was taken in by the Priest in Sandpoint, so I'm guessing she's adopted.

While that *technically* makes more sense, silver or cold iron bone isn't a thing and I liked the image of it being made from bone.

Told you guys I was dumb

>>50409768

Boar's Resilience? Are there any skills you want her to have, or aspects of her backstory that might be fun to express in a trait?

>>50409807
She's got every skill except for most of the Knowledge ones (she has Knowledge (Local, Nature and Nobility, but none others) and Spellcraft actually and I can't think of anything else that needs to be expressed except for her exceptional toughness, which means either Resilient (+1 Fort save) or Boars Resilience (No penalty for being at exactly 0 HP, can ignore Endurance prerequisite for Diehard) and Boars Resilience seems to be more useful and fun.

alright, which of you assholes made this stupid travesty of a fetish character and how can I make sure you never breed? THis is the worst character I have ever seen in a roll20 thread for sheer raw that-guy amounts, holy shit, how could anyone think anyone would be okay with this.

So, is there anyway to redeem her?
Also, how would she likely respond if some crazy dude cleaving his way through her goblin horde claiming to be her father?
Pic related, this level/type of crazy dude.

And the best part He's not even her real dad either, he's actually an android that's just been programmed to think he is and to find his daughter because of a promise to his dead "wife"

Also, tangentially related, what's the best way to start off with a busted cybernetic arm?

>>50409889
probably just a joke character, not a serious one. ignore and move on.

>>50409957

is that...bad?

>>50409982
I think I just figured out what bugs me about this picture.

The entire thing is an active, tense pose, except for his right fucking arm which is just lazily draped over his sword.

As for the arm, maybe just fluff it? Then getting it 'fixed' s getting the benefits of it?

>>50409982

God dammit the point of Nualia is she's supposed to be your typical evil priest summoning a death goddess, she's a classic staple of old DnD that just so happens to have perky tits and soft platinum hair.

She is undeserving of redemption.

>>50409149
What if I said that I was thinking of going the Spell Warrior archetype, which replaces the Inspired Rage with a song that lets you add +1 and +2 at level 5, +3 at 10, +4 at 15 and +5 at 20 as a stacking enchant on weapons (Which you would think is useless for casters but you can also turn the enhancement into specials including dancing and defending) and replaces kenning and scribe scroll with counterspell related abilities (Scribe Scroll is replaced with Improved Counterspell, Spell Kenning is replaced with allowing me to counter a spell from any school by expending two slots, at 11 I can expend only 1 to counter any school and at 17 I get parry spell) and dirge of doom is replaced with the ability to expend song rounds equal to the spell level to counter it as an immediate action while I am singing.

>>50410016
its not someone is just sperging

>>50409889
Is it really worse than the chain-pregnancy Lamashtu worshipper?

>>50410005
There is nothing compelling or successful about this piece of shit character, she's just a lump of fetishes thrown together.

>>50410016
When both the mechanics and theme are stupid and shit, yes.

>>50409982
She beyond redemption. She's insane and has given herself to probably the most evil god (that is proactive that is) of the setting and is generally nuts. Also if the GM is going to change the fact that she is the quintessential CE priest enemy, then note that she doesn't give a flying fuck about anything than herself and her devotion to Lamashtu, the gobs are just cannon fodder and good supply of regular sacrifices.

>>50410064
Roku's penis will redeem her

>>50410023
>except for his right fucking arm which is just lazily draped over his sword.
To be fair, its among the heaviest and slowest weapons in the game. His arm is probably tired from swinging it at robots and real humans all day.

>>50410064
>>50410024
Then it'll be fun roleplaying my character breaking down and falling apart as he realizes his life has no purpose.

>>50410064
>She beyond redemption.

You are not being the paladin that Shelyn knows you can be, anon.

>>50410025
It is considered one of the better archtypes in the few guides I've seen.

I'm leery of the extreme limits on the enhancements, going up to 5 and being divided by the number of people affected. Though, the elemental bonus damage flexibility is nice, and ghost touch is niche but useful enough to be on such a toggle.

Counterspelling's usefulness depends fully on what you're going to be fighting, but spell casting and Spell-like Abilities become more common as you climb the CRs. And the big drawbacks to counterspelling are the handicaps to doing it directly. (Though, I think it still basically requires a readied action, though it may remove the spellcraft roll and it decidedly removes the other limitations.)

Lingering Perfomance could be quite nice here in the whole, tripling your effective rounds/day.

>>50410178
Zon-Kuthon is LE. He hasn't totally left all semblance of morality behind, it's just warped. Also remember that Shelyn was the first to fight him.

>>50410073

Roku's penis is like 22 inches long with girth to match, the only redemption he will be doing with that involves lots of lube and a total slut like Onryou or Zeldana.

>>50410210

Yes; but she fought him out of love. No one is beyond redemption; you owe it to at least try.

I'm running a pathfinder game right now where the overarching theme is sin and redemption; targetted end goals involve Lamashtu, Zon-Kuthon, maybe even Asmodeus depending on how high my players set their sights. It's not going to be easy on any account for any of these, but if angels can fall, demons can rise, if you ask me. Redemption is always an option; it is rarely an easy option for anyone involved.

>>50410178

Sarenrae is redemption, Shelyn is love and beauty.

Someone that warps love so utterly as Nualia is anathema to the Eternal Maiden; she's a father-killer, a beast fucker and a deliberate destroyer of beauty (in this case, herself.) Nualia is everything Shelyn opposes.

>>50410179
I understood the splitting your enhancements as that many weapons per person because otherwise you might as well go empyreal Knight paladin for the same effect for yourself only. Otherwise giving +1 to your party at high levels doesn't seem that good

>>50410247

>Party attempting to redeem Lamashtu

The only thing weirder than the attempt is what happens if they succeed.

>>50410247

Why aren't they trying to redeem Nocticula, a goddess actively trying to rise?

>>50410247
You have to want redemption. Dou-Bral might, but Zon-Kuthon is most likely an eldritch horror occupying Dou-Bral's skull. Asmodeus fought his brother to the death for his ideals. He may be lawful evil but he considers that to be the only proper place to stand. Lamashtu is thousands of years old, has killed and ravaged and raped that entire time with no desire to change.

>>50410247
Zon-Kuthon is actually pretty much beyond redemption

He is a fucking insane monster, the only way to save him is death, and Shelyn is fucking weak for not ending him.

>>50410290
Then the setting finally has a non-evil goddess of fertility.

So, how do you guys pick something to make? I've tried my usual methods pf reading and listening to music, but there are just so many ideas that keep eluding my fingers that I can't settle on one.
Help!

Does anyone have Strange Aeons PDFs?

>>50410064
Llamashtu is not the most evil proactive god in the setting, Asmodeus and Zon-Kuthon fight over that title. Zon-Kuthon is in fact the god who answers the greatest number of prayers of ANY god, he is incredibly proactive in spreading and encouraging evil. Also Llamashtu has a strong neutral following among midwives.
>>50410024
She worships a LIFE goddess, not a death goddess, though thats pedantic. Also I'm not sure she's undeserving of redemption, she was led to her current life by abuse and some really fucked up calamities, which is a real mitigating factor compared to "i did it for fun/power".

>>50410313

It already has one! It's uhh... what's her name, the mother of Ragathiel.

>>50410338
>lso Llamashtu has a strong neutral following among midwives.
How do you even justify this? Like who would openly worship Llamshtu?

>>50410312

What would Shelyn give you if you manage to either purify her glaive or cure Zon-Kuthon? I hear she offers boons to whoever frees even a single soul from her weapon.

Also Zon-Zon is the monster inhabiting her brother's body, her little otouto is still in there somewhere.

>>50410269
Her father didn't love her and merely used his position to abuse her, her love was pure and yet was met only with betrayal. I'm pretty certain shelyn would think it tragic that anyone could go their entire life never being loved by anyone.

>>50410351
You pray to her to placate her so she doesn't corrupt the kid.

>>50410269

Sarenrae is redemption, but I feel like of all the good deities, Shelyn is the one most likely to feel strongly enough about evil deities to give it a try. She is expressely able to love *everyone*, after all; literally only Rovagug dislikes her, and she herself is on neutral terms with most evil deities, which is more than Sarenrae can say. Furthur, let me quote you the paladin's code of Shelyn.

I am peaceful. I come first with a rose. I act to prevent conflict before it blossoms.
I never strike first, unless it is the only way to protect the innocent.
I accept surrender if my opponent can be redeemed and I never assume that they cannot be. All things that live love beauty, and I will show beauty's answer to them.
I will never destroy a work of art, nor allow one to come to harm unless greater art arises from its loss. I will only sacrifice art if doing so allows me to save a life, for untold beauty can arise from an awakened soul.
I see beauty in others. As a rough stone hides a diamond, a drab face may hide the heart of a saint.
I lead by example, not with my blade. Where my blade passes, a life is cut short, and the world's potential for beauty is lessened.
I live my life as art. I will choose an art and perfect it. When I have mastered it, I will choose another. The works I leave behind make life richer for those who follow.

"I accept surrender if my opponent can be redeemed and I never assume that they cannot be" and "I see beauty in others. As a rough stone hides a diamond, a drab face my hide the heart of a saint." and "Where my blade passes, a life is cut short, and the world's potential for beauty is lessened." are the important ones here; Nualia has sinned, but *no one* is beyond redemption under the gaze of the Eternal Rose; beauty is something that can be brought back. Sarenrae may hold the purview of Redemption in her divine portfolio, but Shelyn is the one most likely to not give up on the attempt.

>>50410359
Yeah dude i'm sure Dou-bral is really still in there, do you think he was happier before or after he tortured his father and tormented him into a monstrous beast that enjoys only pain?

>>50410320
Choose. You will never play all your characters, so simply and forcefully if needed choose one you want to play the most and would think you would have the most fun playing.

>>50410351
Tell me have you ever met a mother? Some scales or sharp teeth aren't going to stand in the way of a mother's love. The midwives rarely practice their religion OPENLY but they do it because Llamashtu makes sure the children survive and grow up healthy, these midwives primarily exist in lands of great difficulty and strife. Llamashtu doesn't always mutate offspring and even if she did many women would rather a deformed child than a dead one.

>>50410351
monstrous races, people who desire fertility, people who want the strength of beasts, people who desire to have someone apreciate them despite their hideousness, the deformed, and the outcasts of society.

>>50410300

Because she hasn't had a presence in game yet; it's only just started, so they've only dealt with Lamashtans and Shelynites (so by extension Zon-Kuthon, since I consider the faiths to be linked) so far; also because I forgot Nocticula existed. Thanks anon!

>>50410338

That's the entire point of Nualia and the unfortunate genius of Paizo during their early years; they looked at the eponymous Evil Priest character and asked themselves "what the hell makes someone become this way?" And then worked towards the natural conclusion that is Nualia.

She is unredeemable and deserving of death as befitting her Evil Priestess status, but you're supposed to feel damn bad about it because you find her journal after ending her.

>>50410313
That would be a change.
Feels like "reproduction" is seen as evil over at paizo's, possibly because it may involve the dreaded penis, which by its mere existence is committing rape.

Or some other retarded bullshit.

>>50410403

>>50410459
THE PENIS IS EVIL

>>50410403

Honestly I'm kind of glad we've got some hardcore mother characters applying for the campaign because I would genuinely be interested in seeing how Svana or Amalthea react to a Goddess that perverts the purity of motherhood.

>>50410469
THE MAGIC MISSILE IS GOOD!

>>50410480
Llamashtu does not pervert the purity of motherhood, I'm not sure where you get the impression that they do.
Llamashtu is evil certainly and encourages evil acts with evil results, but evil motherhood is no less motherhood.

>>50410469
>>50410459
What if it's a feminine penis?

So how bullshit would it be for a level 3 PC to successfully escape the Frozen Shadows if they wanted him dead?

>>50409149
This is entirely true. My GM approached me once when I was playing a Skald, and he told me, "Anon, you're playing the class wrong. Here, I'll allow you to fully retrain into Bloodrager, it's more what you had in mind."

I stepped over my pride, and yeah, this is true. The Skald is a Bard, not a Barbarian. I ended up playing exactly the same character, but just twice as much effective wrecking shit.

I fucking love Burnt Offerings because of how much of it is a love letter to old DnD staples; you've got the unscrupulous mercenary, the wicked wizard and the goblins attacking a sleepy village on the behest of their evil priest overlord that seeks to summon forth great corruption into the world.

It's only during the campaign you discover the mercenary is handled realistically, the wizard has self-image problems and the priestess is literally insane.

Nascent Demon Lords have domains listed, is this for characters who choose to worship them if they become full demon lords or can they grant divine spellcasting?

>>50410511

The Frozen Shadows are a challenge for a level 4-5 group using single-class, Core rules.

A level 3 gestalt with initiator or spheres levels will have no trouble escaping them.

>>50410272
Hm, it could be read that way, or it could go the way I off handed it.

That's something to bring up with your GM. Their reading is what will come down on.

I agree that it's underpowered compared to normal is it is divided by each affected weapon, rather than the full bonus to each person, which is then divided amongst their weapons.

>Tell us the ideas
That's the problem, I can't get to the idea phase because I can't decide where to start from. There are so many classes I'd like to play with dozens of options that I can't pick that way.
I can't pick based on backstory, since I'm not building for any new campagins right now, so I can't base a character there
And I can't base it off an existing character, because there are so many cool character that I'd want to base a character off of like Samus Aran, John Wick, or Nyx Ulric.

PLus I may never even use the characters because they may never be appropriate for a campaign, or they may be redundant compared to the rest of the party. And that scares me and paralyzes me.

Maybe I should give up and just go back to making more homebrew content again. I've still gotta finish those archetypes sometime.

I just feel like I've lost control of my life/brain/autism

>>50410654

Not really, Steelfist gives me all the hand-to-hand stuff I want, pluuuus it gives me a bonus to fighting lightly armored, if wearing anything at all!

>And this is ignoring the fact that warlord is a cha based class and halfgiant is a wis race.

Pfft, I'll find a way to make it work, half-giant is a conscientious choice to make a huge-ass guy who's exceptionally talented in the ring due to his immense size. He's the Bronzed Colossus of Cassomir!

>>50411111

Redpill me on Myrmidon Fighter or Entropic Sage Hedgewitch, what makes them a better pick than Paladin? Because I'm falling in love with the mental image of this guy being an absolute machine in the ring, and after his unfortunate accident winds up settling down in Sandpoint to be a cool role model or even be a teacher, I like to think he's great with kids.

If I may, on the subject of paladins, the Enlightened Paladin archetype may be up your alley for this character.

>>50411166
Myrmidon fighter just werks, or rather, has enough feats on top of it's great discipline selection.

Entropic sage I just meme because I like unarmed energy blade and wis to AC while unarmored. Nice things for a wis based mid-caster gestalt usually.

So I think I settled on what I'm gonna be sitting down to run.

Strange Aeons has some ideas I was already thinking about (the dream stuff), so I'll basically be writing Bloodborne, but with Vampires instead of Werewolves. Same dream stuff, Great Old Ones, and gothic theming (Ustalav all day).

Now to sit down and write it.

I'm going to be honest with you, anon. This is a character first and smut a distant second, mostly there because this is a lewd campaign.

I'm liking Casimir. He seems like a cool guy.

I particularly like Anja and Casimir. It can be difficult to go lovecraftian without resorting to the dark brooding insanity type stuff, and Casimir is just cool all around.

>>50411545
I notice that he has burnt offerings accounted for in his backstory. How does that work?

>>50411568
I like Casimir's description, it seems like a decent model for explaining how they look with a bit more flair

>>50411556
Like this is what NToRacle has:
>deadbeat now probably dead father
>disappeared mentor who might be important to his curse
>cool mercenary uncles who didn't take him in because hard life
>priest he now lives with now and helps him research
>old street kids he knows but kept at arm's length

I probably won't put in that much, my characters tend to be a bit more of outsiders to an area Kind of as a crutch as my golarion knowledge is a bit lacking so I can play with that to have the character and learn with them

>>50411640

Tell us a smidgeon about the character and we will tell you everything there is to know about their potential homeland.

Ok, I'm obviously not gonna be playing your RotJR game (I've got my own), but since we're talking characters:

>Family is Minkaian, came to Sandpoint with Ameiko's family from Brinewall (possibly related to Tsutamu, if you really need that much story connection)
>At the age of 16, a sense of claiming some sort of destiny sent him back to Minkai to join the military.
>Returns 10+ years later, his military service leaving him disenfranchised and wanting to get away from war.
>Begin campaign where he has to reluctantly continue his role as battlefield commander, when he just wants to drink beer & tell jokes.
>Get married & have a nice family with Ameiko. The throne can fuck off.

what would people recommend? use broken blade for the damaging stuff and keep using mithral current for versatility, or add on primal fury for MAXDAMAGEPOUNCING

what spell list?

>>50411857

>>50411838
Okay, new idea.

I'm going to have a basic ability gained at 1st level based upon a particular genre of Metal, followed by a choice to either get a better ability for your genre or branch into a second genre at 7th level.

The genres so far are
>Black
>Death
>Folk
>Heavy
>Glam
>Power
>Progressive
>Speed
>Thrash
>Industrial
Now I just gotta think of good unique abilities and good song or band titles to associate with them.

And efore you ask, the name of this first ability will be Black Sabbath (as each genre will be referred to as a sabbath), and the upgrade at 7th I've picked the tentative title "Warriors of the World"

Thoughts, as well as anything to add would be appreciated
