sadly i've not done much of that. The majority of my oppnents, creations and the things i've played have excluded goblinoids entirely.

Fuck goblinoids man. They're demi-human scum and are all evil. Yes even the babies. Any player who wants to play one is just looking for an excuse to say "lol it's what my character would do!" when they start pvp or steal shit from the party.

There's actually a kobold variant in Worlds of Power that's less crap too. +2 dex and int, -2 strength.

They also lose light sensitivity and get Prehensile Tail for free.

Major Esma, my current character, has survived for quite a while. He leads what amounts to a special ops team for a goblinoid nation which doubles as an planarly famous dance squad. Esma and the Boys. Very recently I gained my first mythic rank, which went into Display of Charisma.

I now Perform (Dance) at +65.

It's 2d10 for tieflings, yeah? Is there any modifier for height and build other than adding conmod?
>>
>>50651653
No they're a race of law. Their society however is brutal and turns the majority of hobgoblins evil. Hobgoblins who aren't in hobgoblin dominated societies are inclined towards LN.

>>50651679

Well just for you, add a +2 circumstance modifier

Normally I'd just say 2d10+Con and be done with it, but you explicitly described this character as being very "bull" like, so I'd say 2d12+2+Con.

Well gosh, anon! You just made a charismatic hunk of 150% man with a big schlong to match his big heart.

Congratulations, because you're going to make a lot of the male applicants super salty.

Also I'd totally change his god to Kurgess, fits better I think.
>>
>>50651750
Not yet but next time we level up I'm absolutely taking it. What's even better is that we just finished the first book, so he's taken all of the "good guys" and turned them into either skeletons or zombies depending on what would be more useful given the body used. Including the Bard.

>>50651700
Anon you've come to just the right place, with the words "I summon thee oh ancient god of down time, grace this thread with your wisdom." we summon the old one, Bill born of fish folk, forged from hatred.

VMC alchemist, heart of the fields, chemist/underground chemist rogue into daggermark, master alchemist, craft skill unlock, you can abuse the economy like it's your red headed stepdaughter.

This is true, but I can't help but taste a bit of salt on my tongue for what is such a prime example of masculine sex appeal.

And by salt I mean myself remembering I was going to make a giga-hunk too, some weeks ago! Damn glad to see someone actually do what I failed to, though!

I was considering Kurgess, but I feel like either one really works, you know? He probably pays homage to Kurgess before a fight or competition, but Cayden's the god that has his heart!

Well well, that just depends on the type of character this is, doesn't it? Is this the character that would fade away to live the rest of his days in comfy retirement after leaving the ring, or would he start a line of PSAs about health and fitness!

Honestly, part of me is a little bit disappointed he's not an Order of the Hammer Cavalier.

They're great at wrestling! You get a free grapple or sunder attempt whenever you full-attack your challenge target! You get INSPIRING FLEX which you can maintain as a free action, meaning you can keep flexing while you do LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE.

Just go Synthesis Summoner instead. You'll have Eidolon Form instead of Rage, capitalize on that Cha bonus and put the rest of your points in whatever because fuck yeah, Eidolon!

That's disgusting.

Instead I'll go Str 16 / Dex 15 / Con 14 / Int 8 / Wis 8 / Cha 15 and be a little better at fightin'. More skill points would be nice too but this is livable. I'm pretty scared about that -1 to will saves though.

Mainly being versatile-ish - decent at fighting and dungeon-delving, and can also turn the charm on when needed so not completely useless in social situations. There's not enough skill points for Intimidate or other social skills, and I just liked the idea of a tough scrappy chick that has a surprising talent.

Yup! not a slut! though it feels kinda flat...

Davatti are supposed to be masters of 4th dimensional travel and Euclidian Energy.

Remember the movie Jumpers? Its that but with swords made out of raw reality.

Why do you get +8 AC for swimming? I'm in my first real campaign and the more I learn about the rules the more I ask "what the fuck?"

>>50653768
Everyone in the group agreed it should be a case by case thing, and probably never actually +8. Also saw a paizo thread where they all agreed it was terrible. I dunno, Pathfinder is fun but I'm finding it to need a fair amount of house ruling just to keep things sane and running smoothly.
>>
>>50653643
IMO, Warlord. The recovery of bushi seemingly stacks with the main recovery, giving it a far better recovery with gambits and iaido. This lets them keep up the pressure with boosts/strikes far better than warder. Mithral Current and Scarlet Throne are both great disciplines for this as is Primal Fury, though a ZS warder will have nearly the same discipline selection. Traiting/Tradition into more utility disciplines like Veiled Moon, Riven Hourglass, or Elemental Flux would do well also, given the high recovery rate. In addition, the Warlord gives up far less than the warder, who suffers for losing heavy armor, and the Warlord can select bushido earlier giving it another edge. But this isn't Warder isn't bad at bushi; it has the benefit of being int based instead of cha, which is a big deal to some. If you like Defensive Focus/armiger's mark and being int-based, you'll like bushi warder. But if you just want to slash niggas, bushi warlord.

So obviously he discovered the ability to travel through the 4th dimention via magic explosion.

He's doing a special kind of travel. And he's rescued by a Cleric of Desna: The Goddess of Travel. Coincidence? Probably not. While the ability is his, not anyone elses, he can still petition Desna and her clerics for training.

which would put him right in place for The Swallowtail festival. He's figuring out his powers and Desna is the woman to ask.

I could see him escorting a House Noblewoman, though! Doesn't House Jeggare own a whole fuckton of Korvosa? Your charming fox could be personally escorting a Chelish noble-lady to see her extended family in Korvosa, and decided to check out the Swallowtail Festival as they passed through the area.

Welp, can't bring myself to build a second character for RotJR, but if any of you nerds still haven't had an idea, I've got a few for you, backstory, potential mechanics, even character art. Feel free to steal, plagiarize, change as you will, or just ignore it.

First is a traveler from far off Vudra. But oh, that's not where his home is. No, see dad was a wandering Varisian, following Desna's teachings of travel, and when you're in Vudra you really can't tell which small town girl'ss got a little bit of Rakshasa in her blood. She sticks him with the kid when he passes back through town, and dad's no deadbeat so he keeps him, even raises him in the same way he was raised. Which is to say, a treasure hunter.

Mechanically what I have is Warlord||Archeologist Bard. If you go Spheres you can grab the Fate Sphere and Fate's Favored (which you'd get anyway) for some neat luck bonuses. Desperado works really well with the picture, but if you want something else then there are other pictures of the same character. Beastbrood tiefling, if you couldn't tell, the +2 to Dex/Cha works well, and you don't really mind the -2 to Wis since Force of Personality helps balance it out, plus adds to the whole reckless adventurer feel.
>>
>>50654414

>>50654335
Monk & Penitent Sinner.
Foreigner & Local Guide.
Beast & Handler.

Was considering a rakshasa-spawn myself, so might crib a bit, but gonna probably look for a portrait with a little more meat on his bones, there's already enough slender/wiry/skinny dudes applying.

>>50654465
That sounds mechanically similar to what I was thinking of with >>50654281

Bushi Warlord with some sphere casting other side and take fate for serendipity, and probably some illusions/divinations for the kitsune theming and take fates favored for the luck.
>>
>>50654510

So if I'm correct on how to build pic related in PF, he'd be a:

>Witchwolf Skinwalker (Worgen)
>Savage Technologist (based on HotS where he's got a longsword in one hand and a gun in the other)
>Venerable Age? (guy was already an old man back in Warcraft II and it's been over 20 years since then)
>Have at least one feat for improving his Natural Attacks (because again, Worgen)
>>
>>50654600

Sounds like it, and besides the Venerable bit (I'd drop that) it's actually a reasonably strong build!

>>50654590

I know that feel, I'd totes be the Handler depending on the Coldborn.

And forgot how he gets back! Dad is getting up in years, but they're still treasure hunting as a team. All it takes is one slip though... Both of them went down, only one came up, and now he's alone. Dad always said that he wanted to be buried back in his home town. Little village in Varisia called Sandpoint, and as a faithful son our treasure hunter's going to see his father's dying wish out.

>>50654510
Character's Eustace from Granblue Fantasy, there might be something.

Second is another tiefling. This one was born to the Shoanti. Shundar-Quah, specifically, living in the Thassilonian ruins in Belkzen. Now that whole place is saturated with some weird shit, so sometimes you get kids tainted by Rovagug. And then left to die of exposure. It's Belkzen though, so instead of dying she gets picked up by orcs, who recognize her as a prophet of the Rough Beast. Our little wild child grows up like that, before she's found by a group of brawlers out of the Land of the Linnorm Kings. They drag her off, rough some sense into her, and after she tags along she joins them on their way south to Kaer Maga. Now that she's been straightened out something weird happens. All her life it's been survival of the fittest, but wants to fight for order, not chaos, and more than that, she wants to find anyone who might know anything about her past. So she trains and disciplines herself, and travels everywhere she can, getting spat on the whole time for her taint, but eventually finding a possible lead to her parents, in some tiny town called Sandpoint.

Mechanically, she's a qlippoth-spawn tiefling (Pass for Human, don't worry), Stalker (Brutal Slayer)||Unchained Monk VMC Barbarian. All out strength, and the VMC does a good job of reflecting the rage that's there just under the surface.

Again, feel free to steal, I'll even post what I have so far if you want.
And since the talk is of dual apps, get in touch if you have an idea. Might help inspire me.

Shilling time!!!!!

>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 (1rp): Jumper - Inabin are always considered to have a running start when making acrobatics checks for purposes of jumping

Skill bonuses (5rp): +2 bluff, +2 perception, bluff and perception are always considered class skills.

Total racepoint value: 11 RP

Inabins are super cute! they stand around five foot four, but they have about a foot of ears! They like to be bards, rogues, paladins, and your non-shit [swashbuckler] of choice! Sometimes they're gunslingers too!

Their wis penalty hurts them a little bit when it comes to being clerics, but its something they do often with luck, community (the ability to donate a save is pretty powerful! with inabin) and trickery domains.

We dont talk about the black rabbit antipaladin inabins

I dont understand point buy. Can someone explain the rules of like a 25 point buy?

Do you start at all 10's and every 1 point to a stat is literally one point from your buy? cause i've seen fucking goofy systems that are like 'each point is the cost of the enhancement bonus' so 10->12 would be 2 points, but 13 and 14 would cost 2 each or someshit
>>
>>50654727

For what it's worth, I think it's a pretty good backstory; the girl's probably got trauma wider than the Inner Sea from her experiences as a Motherless and Orc Toy, but she still seems to have a good head on her shoulders and the potential to overcome a shitty upbringing to be a proper buggy brawler.

Her parents should actually be in Kalsgard for maximum incentive to go in Book 2 Jade Regent.

Shizuka and Onryou This would be the easiest to do.

>>50654526
Well kitsune might work, but I'd still recommend beastbrood, since -2 wis is negated thanks to warlord and +2 cha. Your choice, in the end, of course, and Bushi will probably work better, but it's a solid build. For real Indiana Jones feel, you can dip a level in Investigator or Hedgewitch (font of inspiration) on the sphere caster side, gives you +1d6 to all your knowledge rolls.
>>
>>50654788
I mean, you're not wrong. That could also work, and he is fully in control of himself. I just vaguely recall Savage Technologist having a feature for wielding sword and gun in tandem better.

>>50654624
Statwise I'd drop the Venerable bit too, but it wouldn't be anywhere near as accurate without it, you know?

Was planning something like a 12, 16, 14, 10, 8, 16 stat line preracial with kitsune, since I wanted him to be a bit more rash, so it's the same post racial stat line. The Beastbrood is nice, but if I take the pass for human, I'm more or less left with a useless fiendish sorcery, unless I trade detect thoughts for smite good.

It's not the backstory or anything I'm worried about, it's the fact that I just don't have the energy to fiddle around with a character until I'm satisfied.

>>50654823
I don't know. Lilin would work well with anyone from Sandpoint, she could have bullied Khair, Omza, Shizuka, Agatha, Ceri, etc, but I don't think she'd really gain anything by doing so.

>>50654927
Or Soul Seer, but I get the point. At the same time, you don't really need pass for human. It's nice, because it opens up a lot of buffs, but they're not 100% necessary, and Rakshasa are pretty humanlike as is, plus disguise being cha based means you can probably blend in pretty well.

That's quitter talk, anon! Amalthea is a single mother with a reputation as a black widow, Casimir is a widower with a knack for building damn near anything, wouldn't be any stretch of the imagination to figure she goes to him on a semi-regular basis for clothes, baby furniture or other such stuff.

I mean, there's probably a heck of a lot more, but my noggin isn't exactly eager to work out the intricacies of two backstories getting weaved together just yet. Who's to say they can't be a couple at campaign start? You've got a month to work that stuff out either here or there.

A Human Fighter gets 22 feats, so this properly come to fruition until level 20.

Why is being good at dirty trick so hard?

On the plus side whenever an enemy provokes an AoO they become Dazed and Nauseated for 1d4 rounds, plus something they're holding gets stolen. The build gets free Dirty Tricks whenever one would normally get sneak attack dice. It can replace any number of attacks in a full attack with dirty tricks using combat stamina. It can upgrade dirty trick to debilitating things (like nauseated & dazed). Plus a bunch of other dirty trick stuff.

Man though is this feat heavy. Is this too far into dirty trick? I want to make a build based around a combat maneuver or able to use maneuvers in general.

To get is satisfactory for Dirty Trick it cost me essentially all my feats, but did give me steal as well. I would prefer to have room for Trip and Disarm as well. Are there any AWTs that I could take that give feats to lessen this load?

So question about the summoner archetype.

There's also the whole bushi aspect which gets a lot easier to explain if the character is a kitsune. And a quick look through the ARTs from blood of the beast shows that I'd be able to trade the +2 acrobatics and kitsune magic for +1 skill point per level, which seems like a better deal.

I think Genn probably ends up as a slayer with gun training. His identity in heroes of the storm is super fucking muddied, hell even his identity in wow is pretty fucking unclear; he is apparently a warrior there.

Historically he was always super suspicious of the alliance, even though he reluctantly joined it. Part of this suspicion stems from being [Good FriendsTM] with the House of Prestor - who was being led by Deathwing in human form. After the second war he was pissy about not getting the territory of alterac, and his support of perenolde failing, so he built a giant fucking wall around gilneas.

Then he had to deal with a civil war instigated by Crowley, before the worgen crisis.

The nation of Gilneas had an extremely powerful army as far as human kingdoms were concerned (it was one of the most powerful), they readily adopted gunpowder and they had a strong navy due to both the closeness of silverpine for lumber and the fact that they were on a well protected peninsula. Zul'dare was a major naval staging point for them.

After the worgen crisis, the worgen of gilneas are hunters, warriors, druids, mages, rogues, warlocks, priests and deathknights. It's not certain how exactly they break down into percentages, but I'd say mostly warriors, priests, hunters, rogues and mages with less of the other classes.

In wow he wields a 2 handed sword, but has a mana bar, he's called a paladin but he also uses hunter and rogue shit. For the most part faction leaders in wow don't like to stick to one class, like Sylvannas is a dark ranger, which is kind of like a prestige class hunter.
>>

He's *not* a paladin, he's *called* a warrior. Fucking typo's.

>>50655094
I don't want to start the whole eastern/western Iaido thing again, but bushi doesn't have to mean Tian Xia. You're probably right on the kitsune being slightly better, and it's up to you, of course. If I can make another recommendation though, it's Desna's deific obedience. It's a +1 luck bonus to initiative, so +2 for you, and +4 to perception to avoid surprise, which is really nice since your wisdom, and therefore your perception, isn't going to be the best. Also it's all about dancing, and since I'm guessing you'll have Perform (Dance) it fits even better thematically.
>>
>>50654914

How far would this act go? obviously wearing a short skirt and thigh highs, maybe an exposed midriff.

Its obviously worked. Else he wouldn't have taken drugs to make it more effective.
>>
>>50655118

Yeah, that must be pretty brutal.

Still, life must go on, yeah? And when you've got twins, living out of a hotel room on the alms of others isn't exactly the type of lifestyle that promotes a "thriving atmosphere" for children. A nice, pleasant household might be the best kind of place for her to stay, even if it's just as a long-term guest.

You see where I'm going with this? Casimir's got a house without a household, Amalthea's got a household without a home.
>>
>>50654981
Okay. You know magic weapons?
Soulknife saves you the cost of buying one. If you need to you can change the enchantments on it when you've got a day off, too.

Other than that they get to take an action to charge it (and it stays charged so you should start every encounter with it loaded) with some bonus damage, and they get blade skills which are literally just talents (like rogue talents) for that class.

Archetypes vary this very generic theme, from "well I want range" soulbolt to "unlimited blade works" to becoming a PoW initiator instead (warsoul).

That's uh, that's it. That's really it. The soulknife is a very straightforward class.
>>
>>50655137
I'd personally just go with Savage Technologist, and take that one DSP feat that lets you add dex to damage. That'll really let him swap between gun and blade.

That works well enough for his human form, but apparently he likes to fight in his werewolf form more, and there he's prettymuch rip and tear.

He might be an outlaw rogue in wow? Whenever he's in worgen form he seems to only uses his natural weapons though.
>>
>>50655229

So... I'm basically a Protoss Zealot turning on his fancy elbow-knives and charging them with all manner of nifty psionics? Seems easy enough.

What about the Vigilante? From where I'm sitting the Vigilante is basically a Rogue with a "Rage" ability that really just activates a second form.
>>
>>50655180
I might have to wait till level 5 to take it, since I'm going the dex route with daisho expertise. And the reason I was saying eastern is because that art has a katana in it.

>mfw the Prostitute Serial Killer would have to show him the ropes and gently guide his sword or how to really clean up a big mess
>>
>>50655259
Uh... no. Vigilante's masked identity is nothing like Rage. It's basically an ignorable mechanic that you'd be fine dropping if you really wanted to - you always have access to your vigilante abilities, there's just a risk of revealing yourself as the masked identity if you use them in your social identity.

Past that, it's one of the most versatile warrior types in the game with a high degree of available out-of-combat options. and can be built as a rogue rather than a warrior if you prefer.
>>
>>50655270
Fair enough, feats are tight starting at level 3 unless you're a filthy human, just something to keep in mind. And yeah, I get that now. Good luck with your build man, seems like kitsune might take the lead for most popular non-human race.
>>
>>50655259
Vigilante doesn't even need to do that. You get no real penalties for people knowing your other identity. People could know you only as the batman while your social persona is just a quiet little baker, or they could only know your social persona and then your evil alter ego comes out... or they could know both.

It's kind of like a more customizable rogue but with some social stuff mixed in.

>>50655275
Dont even need bladeskills for that. At level 1 you can choose between light weapon, one handed weapon or two handed weapon, if you choose a light weapon you can make two of them. It's just how it mucks with your enhancement bonuses and psychic strike that's different.

But anon, Houses don't have guest rooms, you'd be sharing a bed or figure out separate sleeping arrangements.

Not a lot of privacy in those houses either, even if you had separate beds you'd see plenty of all sorts of things about the other.

I don't know man, talk it out with Slow, see if you can synergize or something.
>>
>>50655344
TOO SUBTLE!
>>
>>50655259
Protoss Zealot is a good example, yeah. In fact it's easy enough to do exactly one of those.

Any depth or complexity you want out of soulknives basically requires you take the newer archetypes - and they DO allow for a lot of nifty tricks and even some utility - but you're actively choosing to gain this depth if you want it.

The Vigilante is practically a "build a class". They're officially "masked heroes with a social persona" a-la batman&bruce wayne, but they've got so many ways of being built that you can turn them into magical girls or mad scientists or serial rapists if you want.
>>
>>50655307
The neat thing is, you don't even need to be taught the same classes, or even archetypes!

Students can be different from their mentors. She could start teaching you some psionic stuff and you could end up being a psion or an aegis or something rather than a soulknife. She could teach you some of the vigilante stuff and you could end up being an avenger or even a full on rogue! or even a mesmerist!

Honestly not particularly compelling. Sure, he'd be kicked out of Cheliax, but the question is why would a Yokai be in Cheliax in the first place? It's hardcore LE, and even if that presents a bigger challenge I think it'd be far too repressive for him to do his tricksy stuff. Plus, given his age, he'd probably have been there pre diabolic influence, which raises all sorts of questions, AND Cheliax has no influence over Sandpoint, since it's under the auspices of Magnimar, not Korvosa.

My advice? Make him an ex-Druman Blackjacket. Druma's still got those tasty laws to subvert, but they're not as evil as Cheliax. He could probably manage to get away with his pranks for a while, depending on how clever he is, but eventually they'd crack down, and a disgraced Blackjacket isn't going to find work for a while, not until he finds himself in a sleepy seaside village in Varisia.

Don't forget that Soulknife suffers from the crippling deficiency of DSP's boss having been equally cripplingly retarded, saying that it needed to be kept compatible with the version that it was a FUCKING PORT FROM.

So half the archetypes are from that time, and their relevant shit has since been turned into blade skills. If memory serves, literally the only thing that Soulbolt gets you over just taking the blade skill is what level 1 bonus feat you get.

So half of them are basically nonexistent now. Good luck if you wanted to use one of those archetypes and do it at all better than a normal soulknife!
>>
>>50655557
Personally I think it would, just because I find Druma more interesting than Cheliax, and I think it irons out some problems, which always makes a character more compelling.

The connection to NPCs seems to be a bit of a debate. Some people say treat it like Rise of the Runelords, where you're random nobodies wandering into town. It's an entirely viable path ripe for developing new stories with characters, with no preexisting interaction. Not to get side tracked by mechanics, but it also gives you access to Outlander (Exile) and +2 Initiative has never hurt anyone.

On the other hand, there are people who are treating it like Jade Regent, where you're compelled to go on this grand adventure because of your relationship with the NPCs. Sandru would be the simplest, a Blackjacket would make a hell of a caravan guard. Ameiko is popular and he'd have plenty of stories to tell in the Rusty Dragon with his [ridiculously large number] years of experience.

In the end it's up to you.

Actually telekinetic bolt comes only at 4th and costs the bladeskill, too, so it's a feat and a skill, and not available from the start.

>>
>>50656096
Yes, but there's no difference after that between a soulknife who took telekinetic bolt and a soulbolt who took the melee weapon blade skill whatever it's called.

You end up at the same point after like five levels.
>>
>>50656133
You'd have to *take* the melee blade skill, and also the starting feats aren't quite the same and you'd need to take PBS at some point anyways.

Honestly though if you wanna switch between the two why aren't you a panoply user, warsoul, or augmented blade?
>>
>>50656190
Because maybe I don't want to be one of those things?

Maybe I actually want to summon my make-believe weapon, maybe I don't want initiating, maybe I don't want to be a fucking degenerate panoply memelord?

Maybe I just wanna Punch Dude. Or throw bolts at a dude.

Basically, I'm butthurt because now, the concepts that those archetypes initially hit can't be redone without stepping on toes. You can't have just 'ranged soulknife dude' anymore because that's just fucking soulbolt. Except soulbolt is identical to normal soulknife now.

Bitch, you're an amazing human being, and the shit you come up with will probably blow your player's minds. Now get off your ass and start working on making a goddamn adventure the memories of which your group will treasure.

>Planning adventures

Man, I don't even do this anymore.

I just start my players somewhere and I keep making maps and encounters to go along with whatever shit they get themselves into.

They have a good time and I get to work on my improvisation skills.

I like having some background information. This stuff is here. People live there. The ninja clan attacks once a week. That sort of thing.

But what they do? I stopped trying to predict.
>>
>>50657050
Yeah, I gave up on predicting player behavior.

Right now they're dragging the local lord to his execution.

My Roll20 Iron Gods campaign is dying by attrition. I started it in 2014 and my players just started Palace of Fallen Stars a week ago. Only one single player from the beginning has endured to this point.
I am seriously thinking about drop this and start anew.
