It was a weird session. Almost immediately afterward we fought a Rakshasa named The King, broke an artifact lamp they were using for infinite resurect using a dwarf we found. Turned out the dwarf was Torag, but a reincarnated Torag after the Rakshasa killed him.

Half the party had died by this point.

It ended with Emsa, a hobgoblin, holding the hand of the reincarnated Torag, who had been feebleminded, to use him hammer to strike the artifact.
>>
>>50523346
Seems we are.

Anyone have recommendations for something Lilin could sing? Looking for themes of loneliness and duty foremost.
>>
>>50523348
We ended up afterward having our two dwarven party members become rulers after we told one of the surviving nobles to go fuck themselves for not helping us save the dwarven people.

Our gunslinger/vigilante who heard the holy anvil strike the lamp (the GM said it was a note struck that would bless a dwarf for a thousand lifetimes) we crowned king. We also gave him a cloak Torag let us use for a moment and forgot.

Our other dwarf, a priest of Torag, was dead while the hammer struck, but healed Torag's mind afterward. He's now the pope probably.

My character went back home to his kids, a little happier?

Falcata's only good if you can abuse that 19-20/x3 crit, otherwise it's way better to just use a rapier or even a longsword.
>>
>>50523447
Past, like, level 2, yes. Most of your damage comes from other bonuses, not the damage dice, unless you're doing vital strike or some shit, and 19-20/x3 is better than 18-20/x2.

I have been reading the Dark Eye. It is some german setting. Pretty cool so far for light stuff, lots of RPing, low to medium fantasy.
>>
>>50523511
So go Divine Fighting Technique (Gorum)? The point was that no matter what weapon you're using you get more out of the +whatever than the damage die, UNLESS you're using Vital Strike and using 8d6 in which case you might be getting more from the dice.

What character can I play that is least reliant on gear but still a melee character? By either making their gear on the fly or otherwise.

How exactly do spellcasting classes obtain the use of magic? What exactly happens to them when they're a level 0 that levels them to level 1 and is able to use magic?
Oracles and sorcerers are listed as intuitive so they always had magic powers since they were born or they awakened sometime early in their life. And even though bard isn't listed as intuitive I can assume that they are also natural spellcasters who always had the ability
What about the rest though?

I can assume that through absolute devotion, clerics, paladins, inquisitors were able to attain divine magic through the word of their god.

Are shamans, druids, and rangers the same as this except in that they are devoted to nature and gain the ability to use magic through nature itself and/or fey?

Do wizards/witches/magus/arcanist study and practice for most of their life to be able to use magic at all? Does this mean that it's impossible for any wizard/witch/magus to use magic precociously or at least be able to know they have magic before they have a spellbook? Would it be possible for a wizard/witch/magus to stumble upon a spellbook and inherent it's magic without needing to study for years before it?

How do summoners come in contact with an outsider without being able to use magic? I'd suppose that the outsider in question would instead come in contact with them somehow but in what case would that ever happen? How do they form bonds with said outsider if they couldn't use magic before meeting them and does the outsider bless the summoner with the ability to cast spells?
>>
>>50523676
Armorists are basically the spherecasting version of Aegii and Soulknives; they summon up actual armor and weapons (instead of facsimiles of them like the Aegis Suit or a Soulblade) and have some minor magical powers alongside it.

I've only played one druid.

He was a half elf Mooncaller who hated undead and was raised a circle of Druids led by a rogue Vanth Psychopomp after his mother was killed.

He used a Scythe, but he wasn't very good at it, and his animal companion Liam the Owl was better in melee than him.

I suppose that's true.
I was thinking of a backstory for a Magus character idea when I wondered about this. I had that his ability to use magic awakened late in life then he went on to study and better harness his magic to be able to cast actual spells. I suppose that wouldn't be too farfetched since I guess you would have to have a gift for magic in the first place to even make use of studying magic your whole life?

I'm also genuinely curious how other people would explain it in detail, especially for summoner because I think randomly being gifted an outsider for christmas isn't a good explanation.

>>50523852
What's HV?

>>50523873
Personally my rule of thumb is
CHA: Your magic comes from your heritage, or some mutation, anyways it is innate.
INT: Studied magic, that or has done something so much he has internalized a higher form of it (i.e. formerly blacksmithing Armorist)
WIS: Faith or ideals has attracted and/or contracted a higher magical being to lend some power.
>>
>>50523891
Good luck, in my experience meme characters based offf of something are hard to do well since they're influenced by their material a bit too much

>>50523905
Hell's Vengeance campaign, evil 30pb gestalt with pow/sop.
>>
>>50523873
The way I've always assumed it works is that technically speaking everyone has some innate magical ability to them in Pathfinder worlds, it's like the Force in that it's woven into the fabric of everyone's being. The difference between your average commoner and a wizard, however, is that one spends all their time and effort tilling the fields and growing food and one spends a month learning how to conjure an apple out of nothing but some spell components. The thing is, the reason everyone doesn't just do that is because the time and components required to make that apple are more "expensive" overall than it would be to just plant the tree and harvest from it every harvesting season.

This also explains how certain people can just cross class into whatever they want without technically needing some crazy backstory thing to justify it.

Well, in those cases, the Paladin's comes from their conviction, not actually from any external source. Everyone has the potential to be a paladin without training so long as they JUSTICE hard enough.

Eye am back with first draft on bunnygirl race, henceforth known as Inabin (singular and plural). This is just the basic "tewi" race, and the "veira" race will be a separate offshoot with different bonuses and racial stats. I'm just going to drop the stats currently and get some feedback on that, and not get into writing fluff yet.

Humanoid (Inabin)
Size: Medium
Base Speed: 30ft (normal)
Ability score modifiers: +2dex, +2cha, -2wis
Languages: Standard (common, selection of seven others).
Senses (1rp): Low light vision.
Defenses (4rp): Lucky (greater) - A +2 racial bonus on all saves.

Misc (2rp): Jumper - Inabin are always considered to have a running start when making acrobatics checks for purposes of jumping

Skill bonuses (4rp): +2 bluff, +2 perception, bluff and perception are always considered class skills.

Total racepoint value: 11 RP

I debated giving them a 1d3 bite attack as well to represent their buck-y teeth. I'm not entirely certain with what I want to do with the Viera inspired race, but they'll probably lose the luck bonus to saves and the bonus to bluff checks, in favor of getting some more magical abilities as they're closer to fey creatures.

Also, I think he's less Evil and just turbolawful. He's not vindictive or nothin', he just works for who he works for. He helps out a few times, if I recall.

Perception bonuses are from their ears, large eyes and sniffy noses. Bluff bonuses are from their reputation of being pranksters and occasionally liars (though often not malicious ones).

They tend to drift towards being rogues, bards or even paladins on occasion. They also do cleric-y stuff, but they're not typically great at it - they do like the community domain though.

Just take Literally Sips and change him up some. Use what you have as a starting point, and make him something new.

I mean... I THINK Onryou was Gamagirly before their player did this? Or did Gamagirly just drop out, I can't remember.
>>
>>50524452
Gamagirly just dropped out. Onryou is the same person as Amalthea, SwimmingEagle.

>>50524464
gamagirly didn't drop out, they killed the character and made another.

Well Larash is no longer listed. What's their new character?

OH NO HER LONGSWORD POWER ATTACK! IT'S TOO MUCH!

So I've never played Pathfinder before. Friend of mine gave me his old player handbook and it reminds me a great deal of 3.5. I've played that and 4e and a few other tabletop games so it's not a new concept to me, but if I want to try and find a group should I stick to these standard base classes, or should I think about picking up some of the more interesting alternate class books. I saw a whole book at my bookstore on just expanded races, so I imagine there's a template or something to find info on that online, but does that get too complicated for someone who hasn't really gotten their feet wet with this specific system yet?

Oh dude, ACG all the way. Slayer is by far the easiest martial to make competent, and the Shaman is probably the easiest caster to break if you're into that. It really does depend on what you're looking to do though. The bard isn't broken in either direction, and has fun but non-gamebreaking options, for example.

for Hell's Vengeance he was gonna make a utility psion last i heard before his buddies convinced him to drop out.

But hey, 2hu is learning, he talked about the first question to ask to GM's being about how rigidly they were going to rule things like optimization, because he needed that sort of thing.

I admit, i am morbidly curious to see what a character backstory of his would look like

Think of it kind of like dark souls. Wherein [Humanity] kindles the fire - most things have [humanity] and are thus capable of kindling, even if they never take advantage of it.

If you have a *soul* you have some link to the positive energy plane, which is at least some of where paladins get their powers from. A person just needs to be trained to use and make that connection and next thing you know they're a blazing archon of law and good.

Issue is, it's hard to have a concrete limit on optimization. Like, you can't just say 'nothing over power level X' because it's so nebulous. Everything would need to be judged individually.

And you can't just say 'don't break anything' because some twats don't comprehend what the fuck breaking something means.

Yeah, but Tiers aren't necessarily a metric of brokenness.

That bullshit zweisent reflected blade whatever shit is tier 3.
>>
>>50525015
Tier 3 is nebulous as well.

Technically most PoW characters fit into Tier 4 due to their lack of versatility. However PoW characters will destroy combat and warp in combat play around themselves.

Tiers describe versatility and to a lesser degree power.

Oh hush. This isn't persecution of PoW, this is me saying that something's tier doesn't indicate its power outside of if it's tier 4 or 5.

If it's incompetent, it's 5. If it's competent, it's 4.

Everything beyond that is how many different things it can apply itself to.

So looking for the "Tax Exempt" rules for the Hell's Vengeance game. I honestly think it may go a bit too far for eliminating feat taxes.

I was planning on playing a Human Warpriest/Fighter.

This puts me at 21 bonus feats, 20 of them are combat.

I have no idea how I'm gonna spend that many.

To me it indicates simply acting in bad faith. You're trying to make the DM agree to something thats obviously wrong or at least pushing the idea at them. IMO only an asshole would do that.

But 2hu probably isn't actually an ass, he's just absolutely fucking autistic and doesn't understand these things.

Make a title out of your class and archtypes. It starts getting really pretentious if your a gestalt with multiple archetypes on both sides

For example

Master of the Many Styles of the Iron Mountain, Onryou Kaijitsu, Sacred Fist of Irori
>>
>>50525367
>bad or outdated RAW wording

Some spell descriptions refer to attacking. All offensive combat actions, even those that don't damage opponents, are considered attacks. Attempts to channel energy count as attacks if it would harm any creatures in the area. All spells that opponents resist with saving throws, that deal damage, or that otherwise harm or hamper subjects are attacks. Spells that summon monsters or other allies are not attacks because the spells themselves don't harm anyone.

Couldn't be any clearer.
>>
>>50525370
But what if the classes don't flavorfully fit.
>>
>>50525376
But its also quite obvious that the intention of Scarlet Throne is to increase the damage of melee attacks.

Yes, this is a RAW vs RAI battle, but the RAI are pretty clear imo.

pathfinder has so many trap options, you can't really blame people for picking a build that functions in line with their concept rather than going by the class' flavor or name. See: Swashbuckler, whose concept is fulfilled in much better ways by several other classes.

So I hear a lot of talk about the other PoW classes, but not much around Zealot. Is there a particular reason? Is it just the least interesting? Is it the "worst" out of them? Or is it just not as popular?

Zealot is newer, its also stranger, as it is both psionic and an initiator.

Hmm, I think that would be "Librarian". Lots of book-related things, and nearly-full-BAB to cause foes to be shaken by being smacked by a heavy book seems fitting.
>>
>>50525559
Harbingers honestly struck me as feeling very close to Witches in flavor and effect; cursing, schadenfreude, mobility, and a penchant for wearing the color black really well.

That's not how incorporeal works? They can't, I don't know, attack you from below and above to get a flank off on you, or from the walls and floor to surprise you and flat-foot you?

Not quite... Although you certainly could fluff it as power-armor to a point - just remember that an antimagic field might dissipate the thing then and there (although they're just an action to reform when you walk out)

Basically you get a handful of power-points, the ability to repair and craft a bit better and full BAB with good fort/will, but 90% of your class abilities form an armor in one of several forms (default are psychoactive-skin which is unarmored, regular armor(chain/breastplate) and juggernaut(halfplateish).

You get a number of customization points to assign to this armor (it stays locked in but you can either spend a day off completely rejiggering it, OR you can do a few points at a time several times a day; which usually lets you swap out at least half of the stuff on the move as if you even needed anywhere near that much anywhere near that often).

These points let you buy up stat bonuses (physical obviously), movement modes (swim, breathe underwater, burrow, and flight; a **LOT** of flight if you put everything into nothing but more flight) , size increases, resistances, more DR, AC, and so on. It offers no weapon training or much in the way of static increases to damage, so it seems defensive at first... You can even slot power-stones (psionic scrolls) into the suit and RE-use them over and over paying your power points for them!

It also offers limited but still highly valuable access to partial initiating and even veilweaving.

But thing is, it lets you REALLY cover up a LOT of holes in any martial's build, replacing fucktons of items or at least freeing up a lot of slots. Even offensively it's got something very interesting going for it; the Aegis (at least a 3-4 level dip) is pretty much the #1 core component of "giant weapon" builds around here. It can't get you weapon training, but it can get you insight from a veil, or a stance and some maneuvers.... and you almost always "count as if you were one size larger when it would advantage you"(powerful build) which means you're grabbing (or generating, as a soulknife or armorist or just from using the call the blade power or so on and so forth) a larger weapon to begin with... and can then make yourself larger too, and can ALSO make the WEAPON count as even larger than it is to begin with.

This is how you can build a character whose damage output is not massive static numbers, but large buckets of dice; one can easily attain 8d6, 12d6 or even 16d6 by being an aegis, and suddenly even though people usually say it's all about the static number after the dice (and usually it is), Aegis lets you do it differently.

... Which can be of very surprising value with a certain few weapons that have very limited access to the normal bonuses, and in some cases whose own special brand of accuracy more than compensates for the Aegis giving few such bonuses.

Pic will be more related than you could ever imagine.

This. 2hu is a blight to ban from all games. Just do it.

No it doesn't, it just cringes up things. I can only imagine the awkwardness that would result in posters using exclamation points and posting an anime picture with every post coming on to voice chat.
>>50525853
>Kick people out of a game I don't run

>>50525830

I think a lot of us are solid players who just dont get enough game time. And we get the opportunity to build our characters with eachother. I know I put a ton of work into my HV character even though it was only a few paragraphs long. It took me forever to get hammy right but it was so worth it. And I would not have been able to do that with you guys.
>>
>>50525861
My opinion of /pfg/ posters is most of us are forever DMs, but are usually pretty good players because they don't try to break the game.

IE, we have enough system mastery to do so because we're here, but we're also smart enough not to do it because... Its not fun.

That's on the GM to decide. There can be far worse players than an autist who gets caught up in the details.

Like, WAY worse. At least I'm fairly certain 2hu is far too busy typing question about rules specifics to ever get caught literally masturbating under the table while looking at the GM's tween sister.

Only a fucking retard will do that. Lewd by norm and default must be only for text games.

That seems legit to me. I know if I wanted to play a game here I would have to DM it. It is not very fun.
>>
>>50525882
How do you play tabletop games without voice? Do people really do this? I'm an awkward sounding fuck but I would much rather talk than go through the hassle of doing it over text
>>50525895
I think you missed my point
>>
>>50525900
... In an IRC chat or roll20's chat its... Really easy.

You just type instead of talk.

It slows it by a little, but I prefer it.
>>
>>50525895
Also how would only a retard do that? You mean you're too dignified of a degenerate to go on voice so you can face the reality that you're talking to other guys about sucking dicks?
>>
>>50525900
I had GMed and currently GMing in Roll20 a text-only game in which lewds happen and no one did spammed exclamation points nor used emoticons. The players did agree to discuss about it before hand and establish limits, most of those lewd scenes are heavy on descriptions and not visual aids at all.
>>
>>50525882
>My opinion of /pfg/ posters is most of us are forever DMs, but are usually pretty good players because they don't try to break the game.

As someone who has actually gotten to play with a few other people from /pfg/? You're wrong. Everyone pretty much went for the broken options.
>>
>>50525920
Why did you allow 2hu into your game?

>>
>>50525900
You use text.
You type.
Everyone else can just imagine your character's voice in their mind.

This is as it turns out FAR faster than voice, where half the call becomes "oh I'm so drunk" "oh heheheheheheeee" and tangent-the-tangentening, and where no one can remember what happened last round because there's rolls there but no one actually listed what they were doing and three of the five people didn't give a fuck about your turn and were going on and on and on about something, so the GM isn't even really sure anymore and kinda just winged it as you'd hit but not enough to kill it.

And that's not counting if things get lewd.
That elf girl? Yeah no. Tyrone over there has a voice like a fairy... kicked him in the balls is what. And the "beautiful" young priestess sounds like if gilbert-gottfried fucked a tennis ball with half a duck.

Now these two dudes are gonna start describing their clitorati, and you're going to listen as their breathing gets heavier and heavier and one of them starts making this weird "gnnnnnnnngggggggnnnnnggggg" sound and you're not sure you wanna know let's hope it's just a busted laptop fan.

Degenerate? No, I am Eurofag which hasn't been rise in protestan morals about sex and see it as a normal physiological process as it will be going to take a dump.
Still not everyone is a voice actor and of course even if even you are running a gay game hearing someone who plays Thronkor the Anal Blaster barbarian speaking with a high pitched falsetto voice will certainly ruin it for the other players and the one who is in charge of roleplay the barbarian too.
