CON is king, it even gives you your number of spare Magnum Opus per day, and works on craft sculptures too which is hilarious.

Other than that, while your astral construct (that's what it is... remember that for feats, I think there's a handful that help) is capable of melee attacks - I like to think of it as a Force unit - you're still a kineticist, and only the level 1 starting blast got replaced. Blast and wild ability improvements are still wanted as normal, but remember you now qualify for shit like empowered shots, psionic shot, etc etc because you're a psi entity.

Cool thanks, and i still get Gather Power right? Im a bit confused about that. So the general idea is rather than shooting a blast i get my astral construct to punch someone an extra time per turn?

Repost since I posted this one too late.

So I got invited to a game and decided to play a Kensai Magus. Been in it 2 sessions now and we're all level 2, though this DM allows most 3rd party stuff, including spells from 1001 Spells.

So, is there major feats or spells in third party content deemed essential for a magus?

>>
>>50432127
Well now I know what to make the next encounter for my players.
>>
>>50431953
>>50431739
Feats you absolutely want:
>Augmented Elements
Get your utiliy talent back (this is mainly if you pick aether or really want the starter talent), and you also get a normal blast which may or may not be better than an extra punch, but is good for versatility and qualifying for composites down the line.
>Boost Construct
A huge permanent boost to your stand's power and versatility, this should be a very early choice, if not your first choice.

>Precise shot
Kineticists still need this if you're using your normal kinetic blasts. It's kind of sad. Hope your GM is sensible enough to homerule it out.
If you take blasts that target touch, you don't need it so much.

Feats that are nice to have:
>Advanced constructs
Optional. The new options it gives you aren't actually that good until the third tier, though even though you teleport your stand next to them, Reach is deceptively still useful if you want to do a lot of checking casters/ranged builds.
>Psicrystal Containment
You qualify for this feat. Always nice to have a scout.

>Kensai/ZS warder for evil game is becoming a Sadomasochist

I've gone too far and I don't want to stop.

What do I do
>>
So I have an idea for a Shadow Oracle with the Blackened curse. I like the flavor and spells of Blackened but the penalty to weapons is a bit much, and I want to develop her as an avid follower of Desna. Since the penalty drops to -2 at level 10 to hit with Weapons, if at level 11 I took Divine Fighting Technique to get Cha to hit/dmg with a Starknife would that be alright? I plan on having a high Cha anyways for spells, spellcasting, spell DC's for my Shadow spells.

Also any other things I can do to sure up that -2? I'm not looking to optimize to the ends of the earth, just make it fun but functional. Also feat suggestions for doing cool stuff with a Starknife would be appreciated as well.

Is the avowed's Aether Pulse a spell-like or a spell outright?

I believe it's the former, but I'd rather make sure.
>>
>>50432742
>Aether Pulse (Sp)
It's a spell-like.

Hell, the entire text of it makes a dozen references to the fact it's a SLA.
>>
>>50432766
So, if one were multiclassed or gestalt - it would likely be compensated for by the much lower damage in the former case - and used a conductive weapon, it would be possible to use Aether Channel (swift), and on one of the channeled attacks, charge a target, and activate conductive to channel an Aether Lance into them on hit?
>>
>>50432192
Okay i got Psionic Body as my first level feat, so ill get Augmented Elements at level 3.
Having Wild Talent + Psionic Talent meant Psibody gave me 6 hp, which seemed good.
>>
>>50432822
No.
For one thing, conductive melee weapons only work with abilities that are melee touch attacks, so aether lance is out no matter what.
Second, that falls under the rule that you can't use two different shapes per round.

>>50432829
>Psionic body
Holy fuck why, maybe it's useful at level 1 if your GM is going to shank you, but it's otherwise an awful option that pales in usefulness compared to what all those other feats could give you.
Do you even understand how your class abilities work if Boost Construct isn't on your priority list?
>>
>>50432871
actually: You may only give one shape and modulation to a given aether pulse. The part that prevents the use anon asks about is that if you are using an ONGOING pulse, you cannot use any other different pulses "unless otherwise specified".

You can (here comes the exception) use Aether Shield despite other ongoing shapes being active, IF you have the Aether Armory feat.

However if you had an ability that lets you fire off a weapon attack as part of a pulse, and that weapon were conductive, then you could have it carry a second, entirely different pulse if you wish, so long as it fits the conductive rules.

Higher DCs are always better.
Also consider that since /everything/ is a discipline weapon for FE, it's also a flat +2 damage.

However if you don't have any other style feats I'd recommend Fool's Errand style as well; the no-save debuff works well with multi-hit attacks but the real benefit is free lock once per round.

After a Nirmathan mace left him with a lifetime of debilitating headaches that only increased his blood-rage and addiction to healing magic, Jack was forcibly "retired" to Longacre where he has earned the unfortunate reputation of being the local sour apple, a war-machine forced to waste away in peace.

>>50435009
I just checked; Vital Strike works with this, so whatever number of dice you hit, you can double it (and eventually triple and quadruple it)

So, half-orc to take the mighty frame feat so you can just straight up have a large sniper rifle base, then you take a class that gives you EFlux so you can take that stance for, when you're in earth attunement, it makes your weapon count as a size larger (two sizes larger at level 10), then you slap on enlarge person at.

At level 11, assuming you've taken Improved Vital Strike, this thing deals 48d6 damage in a single shot.

Hopefully, you have a mage cast true strike on you so you can do a called shot to the head with little fanfare.

>>50435123
You're a Full BAB 4th Caster with loads of skill points.

It would honestly be a good class if the focus wasn't so narrow.
>>
>>50435084
That's 168 DPR. Throw in the typical enchants and small amount of static bonuses you can get to it, say, at least dex to damage and a +3 weapon, and you're cleanly in the "is doing his damned job" range of primary attackers.
>>
>>50435141
With single shots, at that. Nearly unprecedented in Pathfinder and associated systems.

Since you're an initiator (given you have that one EFlux stance) I wonder what boosts you can apply to this thing to make it crazier. I haven't really looked into ranged initiators before. Go with a Gunsmoke Mystic for free ammo and you're stylin.

Worth noting is that the sniper rifle can be crafted with gunsmithing, making it accessible even to characters without access to high tech labs and shit. That's an understated but extremely important benefit.
>>
>>50435084

Mighty Frame feat? is that 1pp or 3pp, and what book is it from?
>>
>>50435292
Issue with that is that Vital Strike doesn't work with Initiating.
>>
>>50435292
Trust me, ranged initiators may not have the support the melees get but they truly can shine.

First, consider that the Warsoul's the only reasonable way to get use out of the tech energy weapons. Even though older firearms hit way harder, if you want to use these, well, that's the only way that isn't a gigantic trap.

Second, while many disciplines will have "melee attack" maneuvers you can't touch with a ranged weapon, many other maneuvers remain available and can even be a better trick at range. Prime among these is Silver Spiral Strike, which is just meh if you're using a greatsword, but will wipe an army off the map if used with a machinegun (that's a lot of attacks on a lot of enemies that just happen to fire out as lines...)

Finally, big guns get big boosts from big bigger; when your weapon deals damage as two sizes larger, and you were already wielding a large Hackbut, shit gets nasty fast.

But, don't just take my word for it.
Use Hunting Zephyr on a stalker who put his critical-multiplier-up onto his favorite gun, and remember to have boosted with phantom sunstorm first.

Riddle me this, then.

What are some top-tier kinks and concepts I should try to use for a male character that will *probably* be some sort of martial?

I mean, there will absolutely be a character built around these, but the campaign's campy to begin with and designed to represent the worst (aka best) parts of exploitation films.

I like Ned. Simple. I was going to go with Thaddeus Mynor and just cut it to the last name seeing as how the blade is running the show and his last name doesnt really matter anymore.

I will think more on simple and pleasant names. Thanks anon.

I have a player in a living campaign I used to be in that just used that very excuse to not roleplay because the player was very dull and uncreative.

The goal of the weapon was to protect every lizardfolks (something he kept secret), so the player wordlessly just started slaughtering other party members that were 4 level lower than he was when we had to invade a fortified swamp. Then he teleported away when everyone else was dead and that was it.

I'm kinda bitter about it.

Shizuka, a Bladebound Kensai Magus / Bushi ZS Warder who used to be a painter, and gradually became a sadomasochistic warrior who revels in bloodshed and pain. And sees a bunch fo beauty in blood and killing

She does still have a warped sense of honor, she's not likely to murder someone on the street. After all, the painting is so much more beautiful if its single combat.

We had a whole bunch of that, and people bitched because it was themed around something. Now the Hot New Thing(tm) to theme your character around is a "campy evil campaign" where someone is literally a dogfucker.

Longacre is your standard small town with a gated wall to protect it from raids, also all of the guards are hilariously old and thus bad at their jobs.

Cheliax in general is not the /best/ place to live by any means, and the people that run it are completely fine with slavery, torture, and other generally evil-aligned practices. Essentially it's the kind of place where if you're a scrub you're gonna suffer, and if you're strong you're still gonna suffer but it won't be as much as the next guy, not if you can help it.

Also don't jack around too much and make a substandard character, when me and my friends played Vengeance we actually made the best characters we could and tried not to piss off the villagers as much as possible and we STILL got our faces handed to us quite often.

I don't remember her getting much development, but she was shaping up kek to be one of the better characters, at least backstory-wise.

It was a floating skill buff iirc, and it's only a "dick" move if he was in a party with someone else who was planning to go the Ameiko route. Which no sane person would do unless they wanted a shitstorm.

Super late, but /pfg/ is in love with DSP, but DSP needs to have it's own campaign because it's pretty much broken when you allow it with anything core. Very game ruining for anyone who doesn't want to play a Psionic or PoW character, speaking as a GM.

Knight wearing heavy armor that wields a longspear, can jump really far and move really fast, and has zippy lightning powers.

Grab a longspear, get Elemental Flux and find some gold-plated armor custom-designed for Svana's generous figure, and you've got a more feminine Ornstein.

A homebrewer who goes by DepressedHomebrewer, or DHB, made a character for RotJR and left his trip on. This was an incredibly focused build that centered on using an Inquisitor Inquisition and Archetype to get wisdom to diplomacy twice. That was NTRDwarf, because his stated goal was to use that huge diplomacy bonus to romance Ameiko.

Later he rebuilt it into an Oracle with a floating +40 or so to any skill a few times per day. That's NToRacle.

There sure is! Martial Training or taking a PoW archetype for your class (Barbarian has Primal Disciple, which gives you initiating which is full rather than partial for this campaign, if I remember correctly.)

Minkai is Not!Japan.

The Successor Kingdoms are Imperial China torn asunder with the collapse of the Celestial Empire barely a century ago.

Goka is Hong Kong and literally described as an equal to Absalom in size and splendor.

Hongal is Manchuria or, more roughly, Mongolia.

The Forest of Spirits is Princess Mononoke.

There's a weirdo weeaboo Elven kingdom that worships the Tree of Gondor.

Webm is Amanandar.

>Goes on the run, and slowly awakens to her true hedonistic and sadomasochistic self, finds work doing ronin and mercenary shit and eventually ends up in Cheliax for the campaign.

How is this shit sounding.
>>
>>50437716
>Lose fast movement, bringing me down to 40' and making me lose a +4 bonus on Acrobatics

Not trying to convince you or anything, but there's a 5th level Stance in Elemental Flux that gives you +4 Initiative and +30 movement!
>>
>>50437741
Is this a different Shizuka from the bookworm one?
>>
>>50437758
Yes, absolutely, different campaign and everything.
>>
>>50437741

How does she get from Minkai to a sleepy soldier town in the middle of Cheliax? If you want the Tian angle and a healthy helping of isolationism that makes a lot more sense, maybe she's from the Jade Quarter in Kalsgard, an exile or the daughter of exiles.
>>
>>50437752
What level do you get 5th level stances at?

>>
>>50437805
>>50437826

No no, I meant it was a stance you get at level 5, it's a 3rd tier stance.
>>
>>50437848
>>50437805

>Elemental Flux Stance
>Filling both your body and soul with the power of the elements, you open yourself up to new powers. While you maintain this stance, your attacks deal an additional 2d6 points of damage of your active element’s associated energy type, you gain energy resistance 15 to your active element’s associated energy type, and you gain one of the following effects, based on your active element:

>Air: Your speed and perception are heightened, granting you a +4 bonus on initiative checks and a +4 dodge bonus to your AC.

>Earth: The strength and durability of the earth suffuses your bones, granting you DR 5/adamantine.

>Fire: Your body is filled with warmth and healing light, granting you fast healing 1. In addition, you glow like a torch as if under the effect of a light spell.

>Water: Your body is inured against debilitating effects, granting you a +2 bonus on all saving throws.

Speaking of slick bloodline powers, if you want you could become a Bloodrager; http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/hybrid-classes/bloodrager, it's basically everything you want out of a Barbarian (minus Rage powers, which you can get from an archetype) plus some abilities such as Elemental (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/hybrid-classes/bloodrager/bloodrager-bloodlines/paizo---bloodrager-bloodlines/elemental)

>At 8th level, you gain a special movement type or bonus based on your chosen element, as indicated on the above table.
>Fire is +30 land speed on top of your +10 from Fast Movement and +10 from race.

Despite the fact that 9th level Maneuvers are pretty much of equal power? Except, better, since y'know you can do more maneuvers in a round than people can cast spells.

Not my fault you're dumber than a bag of rocks if you can't identify the fact that Path of War is incredibly easy to break. Casters are only good if they have a real martial with them, and only if you let them get out of hand. You can be level 3 and be broken as fuck with a Path of War character pretty easily.

You must just be a shit player.

Please tell me what "world raping" spells you are referring to outside Wish, Planar Binding and Simulacrum, spells that either don't work how /pfg/ memes them to or any sane GM bans (Wish doesn't work like how /pfg/ claims it does, Simulacrum/Planar Binding should be banned in any game).

ITS NOT THE SAME!
Part of the joy of Dark Souls is the visceral pleasure and the sense of accomplishment from finally triumphing over that one point or boss that has killed you time and time again. It is the emotional shock of vicariously slipping yourself into the game world, experiencing the despair, loss, and rage your character does, and discovering the the great world and lore implications of your surroundings.

It is not something that one can just watch, otherwise there is no impact, and the game thrives on the impact felt personally by each player as they draw their own conclusions about the game.

Just fork the $30 and see for yourself.

The grinding doesn't really get to be classic RPG grinding unless you actively go for it, it's more a quite literal grind. Of your face against the world and bosses. If you want OPTIMAL SETUPS you'll grind for souls and items, but those get pretty trivial pretty quickly.

Bloodrager is a caster in the same way a Paladin is a caster; sure you can do it, but most people just ignore the delicate hand motions in favor of swinging heavy shit around.

It requires the create touch to accept the object. Anyone by that level should have Arcane Sight Permanancy'd. If it has Sympathy on it they can see it and get a save. If not it just has an Aura of Trap the Soul on it.
>>
>>50438342

Again, like Septennial this is on essentially the mandatory ban list.

Eh, grinding isn't that bad to be honest. If you're good enough, you can beat the game well enough while underleveled and equipped. Heck, people do trial runs of it all the time.

Also, if you do play it, these videos may be a good help for a simple guide

>>50438367
Permanency on arcane sight is self-only. Which only serves to further demonstrate how badly initiators fare compared to casters.
>>
>>50438459
Yes, because a character can't afford a scroll by that level. Or actual magic items that do it.

You don't have an argument here. Your argument is "cheap magic items/effects shouldn't factor in" which is pathfinder makes zero fucking sense because the system assumes you have access to these things AND use them.
>>
>>50438438
>I like to play games on the hardest difficulty
Lucky for you, Dark Souls only comes in one difficulty setting: git gud
Though there is a New Game+ mechanic after you beat the game, which increases by various levels of "tear your anus open".

Still, really fun games though. My absolute favorite video game franchise of all

Hard Mode isn't a setting. It's a way of life. You don't kindle those bonfires, you always stay human so you get fucked by invaders constantly, you find a shitty meme weapon and excusively use it, and you make sure to NEVER touch any magic. NG+ (and the following + cycles) all make things toughed because fuck you.

>>50438474
Scholars edition of 2 is at least worth a playthrough. It's not a "good dark souls game", but it's still at least a pretty good game if you stop pretending it's a real DS game.

>What is more powerful than killing this single target and trapping its soul if you manage to hit and don't get countered
Well if you wanna be specific to Septennial Seal the answers start aaaaaaallllllll the way back with Emergency Force Sphere.

But, let's take what it can do: On a hit (Melee only, requires hit, miss chance % may exist and apply, could be countered), Will save (nice and high, admittedly) or die (death type effect; some immunities may exist/apply), and if the save is made you instead take damage+13d6. Success takes out ONE target from the equation. So did shooting it in the face, so the only real advantage is the trap-the-soul effect (but with more limitations/restrictions and always allowing a save).

So... What's more of an impact on the adventure or a campaign as a whole? Anything at all that does more than *kill one guy real dead*.

True Seeing (available much earlier) is a start; it could help you unravel an entire mystery in seconds.

Teleport and Greater Teleport can allow you to skip not just one guy of an encounter but entire encounters or entire SERIES of encounters AND the travel time by simply skipping over travel. It's like when you're in the endgame in old console RPGs and simply cast Return to all the nearby cities and major dungeons to save yourself all the walking and random encounters every single time. One does not simply walk into mordor, but one CAN just telefrag the ring or have it and gollum pop right over the lava and be done with it.

Fabricate can instantly create large amounts of processed materials, which can save months or completely alter an entire encounter by turning an ambush into an ill-planned raid against your instant fortress.

Geas, Suggestions, Dominate, etc can all completely turn someone around; trap the soul traps the soul; these things make him work for you instead.

Limited Wish, motherfucker.

Its not. It has shitty writing, poorly designed enemies, the worst collection of bosses of the franchise, a story that makes less sense than normal for DS, the stupid "cycles and reincarnation" meme, and for the longest time had the shittiest game balance of all.
If you have to play it, buy the next gen version, as its slightly less shit.

DS3 is better in regards to story, gameplay, and feel as a souls game. Plus most of the bosses (except for about 2) Are really awesome and fun to fight. In terms of gameplay feels more like a more polished version of DS1, with a few DS2-isms. Some people like it, others don't, but its definitely less busted and 1000X cooler than out the gate than DS2 was out the gate. Plus the weebish Weapon Art mechanics are fun

Bloodborne is the best game of the franchise though

Yes, it casts other spells. Woo. If we bring that up then why not the replicating manuvers ability Fool's Errand has.

>CREATE. DEMIPLANES.
Yes, you have a house to hide in. In no way does this solve the plot unless you're actually going to claim "hide away in my demiplane and ignore the plot" is a narrative option. I actually had a wizard say he was going to do that. I told him he succeeded and to make a new character to participate in the campaign.

All the souls games have shit parts of them, and those shit parts usually end up manifesting in different ways.

>DS1 needs like, 3 mods for the game to work properly on PC and in general is missing a fuckton of QoL stuff to make things feel less clunky. Also teleport backstabs and meme weapons like the cestus
>DS2/SotFS got fucked in the ass during development and the world is a patchwork funhouse, on top of soul memery and billions of cut features. Before SotFS and loads of balance passes balance was pretty whack, although some shit that happened is lame and questionable rip in piss Moonlight Greatsword, you used to be rad as fuck
>DS3 I hear has wonky as fuck balance, pandering out the ass, questionable DLC length-to-price, completely worthless-by-design weapons/items/features, and the usual growing pains of being the newest souls game

>>50438595
SotFS edition is at least a playable, pretty fun game now once you get past the hurdle of the Agility meme. It still feels like it's not a "real dark souls" sequel, but again, it can stand on its own feet. Even if it does so on shaky twig legs.

You mean the "Timeless" quality? That's not how it works. It freezes your personal time, not time going on around you. In the 10 years you spend you do not age, but the world ages around you, and once you step out you age 10 years in one round.

Go read Timeless again.

>MFW forgot that I can spend on ki point to increase Svanas speed by 20 feet, giving her +8 Acrobatics
This means her maximum (on a roll of 10) is 28.5 feet straight up, or 57 feet horizontally. At level 8 this will increase to 48.5 up or 97 horizontally, at level 10 it will become 99 up with no magic items or feats dedicated to it

It's pennies by the time you can cast that spell actually, if you use the rest of your repertoire.

Those material costs look incredibly huge at first glance, but there's quite a few.. tricks. Making money at high levels is beyond easy if your party has a crafter.

Ridiculously easy. We're talking "magic items at 7% cost" here.

Anyone has download links for HeroLab?

Play the first one first. You'll suffer once you have all the QoL stuff of the other games as part of your reflexes. Play 1, then 3, and if you REALLY want more souls get SotFS edition of 2.

>>50438711
Man, what's Svana's max speed up to, anyway?
>>
>>50438723
And that GM actually allows such methods?

That's what I'm talking about. Not what is "possible", but what any sane person allows to see play. In this case I am saying that a lot of PoW material falls under the "no sane person allows see play" just like a ton of spells/traits/etc.

>At least every build was viable back then
Sorry, but excuse me while I have flashbacks of Hexer Spam, Resonant Weapon Dragon Curved Sword, Sanctum Crossbow blasting, Banana backstep parries, Katanas being muuch worse than the other titles and BEING BUFFED EVERY PATCH HOLY SHIT WHY, how fucking retarded riposting worked, Binocular Rushing, the Double Down/Pain Train, and the highest AR weapons in the game being a fucking catalyst and chime, while the Pilgrim Spontoon and similar weapons were trash and never used.
That's not including how stiff and floaty the gameplay just felt in general as well, and how the arenas essentially required you to invade to have enough items to use them. Overall, I fel there were just more busted options in DS2 and bore busted PVP in general than when DS3 came out, that most of the things people complained about were either system problems that were inhereted from 2, or were patched out much quicker than they were in 2

Dark Souls 2 was the 3.PF of the Soulsborne Franchise

Plus Carthus was nerfed. I've never seen it used since personally.

>>50438662
Can confirm the wonky as fuck balance. Curved swords and katana pokes are too fast and do too much damage for that speed.

>>50438781
The issue with balance in souls games is it takes literally the game's entire lifecycle before everything gets patched and "fixed", and even then you end up with either the team throwing up their hands and saying "good enough", and/or vestigial leftovers of people's bitching. Like the SotFS Moonlight Greatsword having gotten damage nerfs, stamina/swing speed nerfs, AND losing the ability to apply weapon buffs to it.
>>
>>50438751
You're moving the goalposts. Plenty of answers as to what was more powerful or had greater effect than septennial seal were given, but you're choosing to harp only on the highest level ones and then dismissing the entire thing as your victory.

Emergency fucking Force Sphere already 'beats' that level 9 maneuver. As do quite a few teleport-type counters.

I'd suggest getting a PS4 instead, so you can get Bloodborne between 1 and 3.
Bloodborne was the game where they tested a lot of ideas for DS3, including the faster pace of the combat and movement. PLus its a must have if you love stuff like H.P. Lovecraft and Van Hellsing

Or don't, if you don't want to. Bloodborne is entirely optional really, even if it has some of the best bosses of the franchise in it, like pic related
>>
I don't know why the argument for "X PoW thing isn't broken" is "here are things that casters can do that are more broken". Something else breaking the game should not be an argument for game breaking things.

We've discussed before, one of the biggest issues in PoW to normal character is a tier 3 character (Magus, Inquisitor, Alchemist, Bard) are completely left in the dust in combat, especially in terms of defense due to how counters are designed.

In games I have run this problem has become very apparent. One can not challenge the defense of the Bard and the Warder simultaneously, the Warder is many times more resilient (hell he is more resilient than tier 1 characters). If I do something to challenge his defense the Bard will simply die, if I challenge the Bard's defense the Warder doesn't feel a tickle.

This is a problem as it does not encourage mixed parties.

Heck, an initator can accomplish the following:
>Buffing
>Debuffing
>Damage
>General Support

The only things it can do is Battlefield Control and a lot of Out of Combat utility. This is a huge divide as in those four combat roles it severely outperforms tier 3 characters.

What does a Magus bring to the table that a Warlord does not do simply better?
>>
>>50438865
>Emergency fucking Force Sphere already 'beats' that level 9 maneuver.
Emergency Force Sphere also blocks line of effect so the caster merely sits there and waits as the initiator has lot no opportunity cost. He can still use that maneuver again.
