Pathfinder General /pfg/

Let's settle this. Do you think a no-SR force damage spell makes sense fluffwise?

>THIS IS IMPORTANT!
If you want build advice make sure to say what 3pp you can use, if any.

Oh for fucks sake putting this at the top is nearly as bad as the kitsuneposting.
>>
Yeah. Force as an only supernatural type damage flat doesn't make sense.
>>
>>50504824
but force is literally pure magic.

Its not actual concussive force as we think of it, thats covered by the various damage types of Bludgeoning, Slashing, and Piercing.
>>
I can see it bypassing DR but not SR
>>
>>50504798
Sure, it's already been done.
>>
>>50504798
No because force is magic. Lifting a rock and throwing it is not magic. I fail to see how people are having such a hard time with this.
>>
>>50504845
Force passes DR anyways, as its a kind of energy damage.
>>
>>50504798
Not really, no.

Force is just blank 'magic damage'. It has no presence outside of magic.

It somehow skipping past SR by default seems janky.

Soulfire I can see making it work, because that shit's dangerous and involves soulpower, which is on a different level to just plain ol' magic.

I'd kinda like a second opinion on the prospect of going for the usual Sacred Fist/Master of Many Styles idea, but then opting out of Monk to be a Paladin and using a to flurry (preferably longsword to gain Divine Fighting Technique).

Is this worth it, or should I focus on the paladin side of things and maybe pick up an Eldritch Heritage?
>>
>>50504866
It's not a ruling. It'd be a ruling if it was mechanics.

Instead, it's "I don't like the fluff."
>>
>>50504869
Its not.

>>50504866
2hu happened.
>>
>>50504798
A vial of acid bypasses SR. Acid arrow bypasses SR.

A thrown rock bypasses SR. Telekinetic projectile bypasses SR.

A torch bypasses SR. Burning sphere bypasses SR.

There is no mundane equivalent of Force. It exists ONLY in the realm of spells.
>>
>>50504798
Sure, there's other sr-passing magic so I don't see why not.
>>
>>50504871
"A vortex gun looks like a sleek shotgun with three barrels arranged in a triangular formation. When this weapon is fired, the three barrels release a beam of gravitons that spiral around each other to create a 100-foot-long cone-shaped vortex of devastating energy.

That's still a GM ruling. There are plenty of alternatives, plenty of ways around it. The GM's job is hard enough, you finnicky bastards, get off it already.

Yes but it's not magical. It wouldn't proc Spell resistance.

For an optional rule that the GM was upfront about being subject to GM approval.
>>
>>50504920
Well yes but i can't account for Paizo's shit writing

Presumably a weapon that has to get past SR wouldn't fucking be worth writing mechanically anyways.

Paizo is a shit and inconsistent, the DM made their ruling. No force SR ignoring blasts. For whatever reason it was made, it was made.

It should be accepted.

No, the GM said it'd be fine if there was a fluff reason behind it.

What's wrong with coming up with a fluff reason?
>>
>>50504971
The GM also said there's no fluffy way immaterial energy like force could be thrown at something

and people have been arguing back with crunch.
>>
>>50504978
Then maybe, JUST MAYBE, the GM shouldn't have said 'Well if you can fluff it, then the blast is fine!'
>>
>>50504978
And there you go something similar to what the Vortex Gun does. You don't assault the foe with magic, you twist and crush the air around them.
>>
>>50504996
the GM didn't say that.

>>50504939
My dragon disciple's robe of arcane heritage. Not because of what it does, but because of how we got it--there was no sorcerer around to craft it, so GM ruled I could use a red dragon's heartstrings to have it weaved.

Which should be bludgeoning damage, but Paizo fucked up.

You're really obvious 2hu fag.
>>
>>50504845
actually all spells do. It turns out even "you conjure a rock and throw it at the guy with your arm" bypasses DR.

Yes he did.

>>50504949
Me finishing up a major story arc is falling through because one player doesn't have time for the next two weeks and after that I don't have time for two weeks.

The replacement gestalt side-campaign I suggested for the next two weeks isn't happening either because of another guy being busy and not really having time to get into it and I don't really want to run a 2man campaign, even moreso with the two most follower-type players of the group.

Feels bad to be foreverDM but feels even worse when no games despite being the DM.
>>
>>50504939
Memes aside, the Black Blade I gave to the Cavalier I DM for.

He doesn't know it's a Black Blade yet, in or out of character. To him it's just a shiny new Obsidian Longsword.

To his 7 Int character, the new voice in his head couldn't possibly come from his sword. Swords don't talk.
>>
One thing worth noting, just because a spell uses Force doesn't mean it has to deal force DAMAGE. If you somehow hit someone with a wall of force, it'd do bludgeoning damage, not Force.

>>50505010
I seem to recall something about how physical damage from spells runs into DR.
>>
>>50504798

My opinion about spell damage stuff regarding game balance is such:

Spellcastors rarely do as much damage as Warriors can do in a single round, they can just do it often to more than one guy at a time and do it at a distance.

Full Damage Spells
> Xd6s based on level
> allows a Save
> allows SR

Mid Damage Spells
> d6s or d8s per 2 levels
> has something nasty that goes with it
> allows a Save Negate
> allows SR

Poor Damage Spells
> the damage cap is usually already reached by the time you get it, level 5 or 10 or whatever (5d6, 10d6 as Level 6+ spell)
> No Save, or a Save only for secondary effect
> SR or No SR if its got a save.

Shit Damage Spells
> shit damage like a magic missile except its Level 3+
> no save
> no SR
> you take it to the face or maybe it has a ranged touch attack


Because lets face it unavoidable damage is not nice but putting out 1/5 of the amount of damage that other party members can dish out is a smack in the face to that castor.
>>
>>50505046
honestly that point is really unclear from Paizo.

"Whenever damage reduction completely negates the damage from an attack, it also negates most special effects that accompany the attack, such as injury poison, a monk's stunning, and injury-based disease. Damage Reduction does not negate touch attacks, energy damage dealt along with an attack, or energy drains. Nor does it affect poisons or diseases delivered by inhalation, ingestion, or contact.

Attacks that deal no damage because of the target's damage reduction do not disrupt spells.

Spells, spell-like abilities, and energy attacks (even non-magical fire) ignore damage reduction."

Like ??
>>
>>50505052
What is snowball?
>>
>>50505071
1st-level single-target ranged touch. Does reasonable cold damage, and staggers on a failed save.
>>
>>50505066
Yeah, paizo can't write rules for shit.

Or the number of things that say 'weapons'?

Wanna look at what defines an 'attack'?

Hell, that was one that 2hu fucked around with too if I recall.

>>50505066

"energy attacks, even non-magical fire, ignore damage reduction"

Force damage is a form of energy damage, always has been.

it ignores damage reduction

to gain any reduction against Force damage you must have "Force Resistance X" just like "Fire Resistance X" or cold or electric and so on.

>>
>>50505052
Yeah, see, the problem there is that AoE damage just isn't helpful unless we're talking major amounts of it. Monsters that can be cleared out in a single Fireball are highly unlikely to be a threat to the party at any point in the game where you *have* a fireball, and monsters that can't are still going to be functioning at 3/4, 1/2, or even 1/4 HP just as they would at full HP. It's not useful compared to focusing down a target or applying status effects that take an enemy out of the fight on the spot.

And I mean, it's not as if blasters aren't broke as shit in Pathfinder, but they're that way because someone printed a feat to turn blasting spells into save or loses targeting the on-average lowest monster save AND printed a feat that gives you that feat for free and applies it for free. What the fuck, Paizo?

You shouldn't have to ban shit.

That means the game designers aren't doing their job and they're just trolling except in book form.

Thats what I like about some multi-setting systems like BESM and gurps, they usually get the balance down pat because if there's anything broken in it, its gonna become a major thing.


>>50505370

That or they cost the party a heap ton of resources and they lose levels because they keep having to get raised from the dead.

i dunno maybe you can roleplay it as an efficient way to become a Ghost and "to help these people along" but then whenever other people leave the game or they die off the DM has a reason to securely kill you off too

Also aint gonna work with a cleric in the group (and which group dont have one) because

Dazing Spell is still reaaaaaaaal fuckin' broken if you don't use Sacred Geometry, between Fireball still being able to tag things that are a challenge at level 20 more often than not(no really look up the average saves on CR20-22 stuff), the dozens of spells that hit an opponent multiple times per cast(not magic missile, stuff like ball lightning), or the absolute horseshit that is Meteor Swarming someone's face 4 times with a metamagic rod because you KNOW they're not saving 4 separate times at -4 against that.

Maybe but alot of high level shit ive run into has Fire Resistance out the ass or immunity to it.

So fireballs and meteor swarms they dont really care about (yeahhh... they get their energy resistance against each hit, roll your meteor swarm damage and subtract 120 from the final amount). The 2d6 bludgeoning is dinky nothing shit.

Its some guy using a Gauntlet of Lead Blades along with an oversized DoDachi and power attack... thats what gets the job done and makes you seem worthless as a castor
> reliably causing like 80 fucking damage per swing
> thats 80 damage without any energy resistance crap because its not energy

So more or less I was just trying to debuff shit so itd be easier to kill things.
>>
>>50505478
Your mistake is assuming that Reflex is a good save even half as frequently as the other two, and that's before the fact that the number of monsters with a greater-than-Medium size increases as CR increases. The average Reflex save at CR 20 is *16*, as is CR 21 and 22 - and an evoker Wizard who had an 18 post-racial and who isn't pulling any major cheese is toting a DC 27 Fireball.

It's not about the damage, the damage is shit and will always be shit and it's one of the reasons Paizo FAILED at making it not shit. It's about the fact that getting hit with a fireball and failing a save stuns you for 3 rounds. That's a death sentence against all but the literal worst PC parties.

Against a third level spell.

That, if it connects, will daze you for 3 rounds, and literally only one feature in the entire game protects against daze and it's tied to a specific monster. If you were to cheese it with metamagic rods and Meteor Swarm, you'd have to make anywhere from one to four separate saves at DC 37 to not be dazed for 9 rounds.

Well, not quite. By being scaling, the point is that the increased number is still supposed to count against your WBL.

It's an odd little system if some people are using it and some aren't. Best read the SRD page a bit closer and ask the DM.

Not really a homebrew but I was thinking of making a campaign. I liked the new planes of power book and I have been writing a bit about restoring the Good Elemental Lords to their rightful place. I wanted to copy Paizos format of 5 or 6 books but the Planes are kind of a high level thing and I was not sure how to implement it.
>>
>>50505892
If you ran it, I'd definitely play in it.
>>
>>50505848
Been fiddling with tech a lil.

Current thinking is that most things have two power ratings. One that's the power cost, and the other is a point where if you have ENOUGH power, it doesn't cost anything.

So like, if a blaster has a cost of 1, but a sustain of like 10, then you could fire it forever as long as you had that 10 energy. But then you ALSO couldn't use that same 10 energy to sustain another blaster, you'd need 20 available. If you can't sustain a thing, it uses its cost instead.
>>
>>50504939
I had a paladin that was slowly creating a codex on demons and how to fight them (warcraft inspired, almost directly from the burning crusade cinematic) with metal pages and a giant metal chain. It even had some Spells/day in it almost like a staff.

Eventually it started to become sentient and it would either slowly hum mantras, or recite "universal" laws. When it was asked it would flip to certain pages to identify the characteristics of extraplanars (mostly demons). It didn't particularly like being quiet; and it loved to learn about new laws from certain areas - it could be judgemental about the morality of those laws though.

Not really. If you understand the character influences at all.

Pyrrha as in Pyrrhic victories. Pyrrha also as in the red headed girl that Achilles' mother dressed him up as to hopefully avoid his fate of dying in combat.

DSP stands for Darksyde Phil, an internet 'gamer' well known for blaming his mental handicaps on the games he plays.

Between people who've honestly glued their lips to his asshole and people who enjoy watching the dancing monkey scream he's managed to keep himself in business.

He likes to claim that he's a "professional gamer" for winning one match against some actually good guy in a 'tournament' on some fucking retarded buggy dreamcast edition of a fighting game that no one played, using literally the cheesiest most broken character in that edition.

He gets his shit handed to him by everyone in the fighting game community quite frequently and so often that he's a total fucking joke.

That isn't even mentioning his complete fucking inability to succeed at like any other game because he won't stop to do shit like read tutorials. I mean metal gear solid completely fucking broke him and I beat that game at age 12 when I barely knew what I was fucking doing with most games. seriously, I thought I was actually pretty good at most games up until I was like, 18, which is when I stopped being total garbage and started engaging critical thinking skills.

Working on a class called a Totemist.

He begins play with a special dagger called an Athame that works as his arcane focus.
He can drop Totems on the ground to augment spells, weaken enemies, boost allies, etc.
He can also carve eyes, ears or lips, etc. on a solid structure like walls and trees to act as a scrying focus.
He can also imprint tattoos on allies, granting them the animus of the totemic spirits.
He can use his athame to draw the blood of a recently slain creature and then use it as part of his tattoo making process to grant his allies some of that creature's special ability or defense.

Soulknife is DSP Psionic class that uses a mentally created magical weapon that at top levels is effectively a +9, if the legendary weapon matches that progression roughly it should be good

They're basically supposed to be sort of like aasimar, tieflings, planetouched (slyphs / oreads / etc), dhampir, skinwalker, etc etc etc equivalents to oozes/slimes.

They're not finished, but they're most of the way there. Also quoles are shit.

Some people have suggested that they need another trait or something to make them 'unique' (I've been considering minor fortification). I'd be happy to hear about any potential racial traits.

I should probably mention that most like to disguise themselves as humans or half elves when they're not looking for attention.

Bard is at least top 3. They're capable of being good at anything but they need to specialize in that thing in particular and the bard toolkit keeps them useful outside of it. That's pretty much the definition of a T3 class.

No. They're people with a touch of ooze somewhere in their ancestry.

For the record, I felt mostly the same way about 5E. How the fuck am I expected to have fun playing the Battlemaster when it's a -10/10 version of not one, not two, but three good classes? Why can't a top of the line Fighter blow up a dangerous enemy in 2 rounds by himself without exhausting every single resource he's got for the next hour, at minimum? Why did spellcasters crib the 3.5 psionics augment system and make it awkward and annoying to use? Why are Rogues less interesting than most of the Rogue replacement classes from 3.5? Why are Eldritch Knights total shit at being what the game claims them to be? Why would you roll damage back to near AD&D levels but leave HP alone when this exact issue made me quit playing 4E in a huff when it came out?

I mean the one that I got to play liked to swallow her food whole because she thought chewing was too much work, unless something was particularly tasty. She had teeth but usually just gulped down things like pears and apples

I mean I'll answer the question even though it's not exactly appropriate Casually a jel could maybe get anal circumference up to about 2 or 3 inches. With a bit of practice maybe 6.

>>50506826

Alright, so they're pretty solid mechanically. I think most people assumed that they were supposed to be slimegirls so they expected something more unique and over-the-top mechanically, like being actually amorphous.

It fits Paizo's theme of player races being "human, but ____" which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I can see why most people were calling it boring, though, since homebrew usually breaks the mold of Paizo's design philosophy.

It's a fine race with their limited squeezing ability and stat array, but doesn't have much that would hook a player into wanting to play one as opposed to something else. Have you considered giving them a spell-like ability or two to reflect how they were magically created to be assassins? The Blend and Squeeze spells fit the bill.

Skills are different, Concentration is basically a CL check now, BAB is tied to HD, classes generally want at least one feature per level, oh yeah, and touch attacks can't benefit from Power Attack or Deadly Aim unless the source explicitly says they can(this tripped me up when converting some of ToB).

I wanted to err on the side of caution when I first made them so they weren't "overpowered".

Limited compression is already functionally a permanent squeeze spell, albiet with a +8 bonus on escape artists (I treated it like a movement form). Maybe a spell like, like disguise self or fabricate disguise could work?

The idea is that you're realizing your time spent learning Perform applies lessons to regular life too. Like Miyagi making Daniel do menial chores to learn kung-fu.

Like "hey, if I speak with the emotion-inducing cadences I learned for my piano playing, people like/dislike me more!" or "the graceful movements I practised for the Taldane Handstand-Tumble Waltz can also be used to dodge around an asshole trying to hit me with a sword!"

I have a question about sphere alteration.

You can take Drawbacks to increase max SP.
Luckily though, once you get the right Bound Equipment and Arsenal Tricks (like Shifting Weapon) you will almost never your your Summon Equipment save for special occasions.

Also, as for Archetypes, the one in the Telekinesis Handbook might be good, also the Blaster from the Destruction Handbook has some decent damage potential. Also the Nature Handbook introduced some of the better Arsenal Tricks. Also one of the Archetypes in the Creation Playtest might be cool, since instead of summoning weapons you just fill the battlefield with them UBW style.

Also, one of the few niches that Base Armorists can achieve is being able potentially get Free Fullplate and have almost no ACP by 6th level.

>>50507592
No, it doesn't unless they took Somatic Casting or some similar drawback.
Also Rage is not dependent on limb or movement type, it is purely a stat adjustment. You can still use them.
You could also theoretically still use a good number of Maneuvers while shapeshifted as long as your form has limbs and a natural attack.

It's Purple Duck's DD Prestige Archetype. He got permission to use it.

>>50508329

>>50508336
It consists of

1. A useless, greedy, bitchy healer/support
2. A somewhat competent straight man, but also a perv.
3. A chuuni as fuck mage, ideally one that blasts.
4. A masochistic paladin
>>
>>50508240
>>50508252

Speaking as the author, here; while I am a pervert, yes, no, she did not prostitute herself across the inner sea. She made use of the fact that you can use Perform to make money, and has two complimentary perform skills.

I will admit I didn't spell it out in detail mostly to see if anyone made that assumption about it, though, because the idea amused me.

>kanela
>unironic espangnoll character

reee
>>
>>50508429
It's not that hard, anon.

Basic idea is you get magic talents as you level. You spend a talent to either get access to a sphere and its basic abilities, or get talents within that sphere to improve what you can do with it.

Most spheres have some kind of at-will power, which you can spend spell points to make better. For instance, the destruction sphere gives you a blast which deals half your CL in damage dice. Spending a spell point increases that to equal your CL.
>>
>>50508429
Isn't there some other guy playing a sphere blaster? Just copy him.

>>
>>50508679
Yeah Deadly Agility lets you add your DEX in /place/ of STR.
Strength of Arms makes the STR /modifier/ for one-handed 1-1/2.

Get it? I'm not very well at explaining.

Basically:
Weapon dice+1-1/2 STR mod
STR can be replaced for DEX
Thus:
Weapon dice+1-1/2 DEX mod

Unsolicited opinions time!

Should have just been a Barbarian archetype
>Brawler
Neat class mechanic was immediately whored out to every other class, and therefore didn't need to be made, especially after U. Monk.
>Hunter
Legitimately a fun class. Hot opinions: Invalidates the Ranger.
>Investigator
Really cool class that has pacing issues until level 4.
>Shaman
Also didn't need to be made at all, if anything would have preferred it's thematics as a witch archetype.
>Skald
Interesting concept but unfortunately relies to much on party composition to be more effectual than a bard. Could have been an archetype of bard or something.
>Slayer
Great fun class, but has gotten little support since release, even from 3pp.
>Swashbuckler
See notes on Brawler but put it on a shitty not!fighter class.
>Warpriest
Awkward design space, in my opinion. Feels too close to an inquisitor. Likely could have been a set of stacking archetypes for Inquisitor, or ACFs if Pathfinder had them. Sacred Fist is nice, though has it's own strange issues.

Overall, I give the ACG like a 3/10

This would have gone in the new thread but...

Please help me understand the Blaster Armorist. I'm... actually I'm kinda lost overall.

It says you can augment the shots with blast type and shape talents. This counts it as a caster level equal to your armorist level. Since it counts as a Destructive Blast you can spend 1 spell point to deal more damage, correct?

Gather Energy lets you increase the damage to d6/Clv by increasing the action type. I imagine this makes your regular attack from 'standard' (for single shot) to Full-Round? Does that mean you can also spend a full round charging and as a second full-round action unleash a full-attack of upgraded blasts?

Between Gather Energy and regular Destructive Blast rules, whats the point of Variable-Geometry? Why would I want to spend a full-round action to pay for a blast shape and increase the damage, when I can just do this without taking the talent in the first place?

How do I reduce spell point costs further; can a particular blast shape be made cheaper for example at higher levels, or the spell points recovered in some way (not just "add more to the total per-day pool" those are self-evident)?

Are there any multiclass (or possible if ever a chance, gestalt) options that really work well with a blaster armorist? I imagine an augmentation-blade soulknife is just redundant due to the free-enchants?

I want to make a blaster that won't suck. An armorist that won't suck. Surely optimization-central can make me not just viable but good - even if it won't top out the charts.

I figure boom is straightforward, but It's my first time with SoP and I'm aware enough to know I've no damn clue what I'm doing just yet.
