I haven't made any new gods because Faerun has enough.

I also haven't run a game long enough for a PC to become a deity.

>>50682655
Knifemaster has uses a d8 rather then a d6 for daggers, which are probably the main weapon I'm gonna use for the alchemist so it's moderately less shit.

Baldur's gate got away with its end only because only singleplayer games can make one PC thousand times more important than the others

Working on my character for RotJR, looking for thoughts.

Fionna Deverin
Human Warlord||Beguiler (Theurgic Brigand)

>Daughter of Kendra Deverin and childhood friend of Ameiko
>As a young girl she was wild and unruly as a reaction to her powers manifesting
>Was shipped off to boarding school run by the Magnimar Navy to "get disciplined"
>Initially spent a lot of spare time in Underbridge practicing her magic with local beguilers, but as she advanced in her schooling and matured this side of her life lost its appeal
>Upon graduating, she returns to Sandpoint and joins the guard, but quickly becomes frustrated by the limits of what she could do as a guard
>Breaking point comes when she is unable to prove that a group of Sczarni stole an important shipment from Ameiko
>Takes on vigilante identity to take matters into her own hands, brutally slaying the Sczarni
>Acts as upright guard during the day, but takes on the mantle of a merciless force of vengeance/justice at night

Right now i am working on pantheon for Sunless Sea-esque game. Thankless job since are unlikely that i can find players for this game.

Reminder that what your character looks like has NO DEPENDENCY on their stats unless it's the size of their muscles. Height, eye color, whatever, none of that is derived from the existing stat block. You are what you want to be, it's a fucking game.

>>50682858

I like it, can't really point anything out besides being a guard kinda roots you to sandport a bit. Maybe make the ties to being a guard a little looser? Like she was a guard but quit when she learned there was a hard limit on what she could do to help.

>implying I could ever become a god

As for homebrew gods, I remember someone statted a bunch of Nintendo entities as PF gods. I know they had Palutena and Master Hand, but I forget what else, it was a long time ago.

As for me, I once asked how to port the Dragon Aspects as PF gods, but not only have I since forgotten anything beyond what Domains they'd have, I'm also interested in whether you could port the Old Gods individually or if they're just one set of Domains on their own.

If I recall, the Aspects went like this:

>Alexstrasza: Fire, Good (Friendship, Redemption), Healing (Resurrection, Restoration), Scalykind (Dragon)

>Malygos: Magic (Arcane), Scalykind (Dragon), Travel (Portal), Knowledge (Thought)

>Ysera: Scalykind (Dragon), Plant, Animal (Feather, Fur), Knowledge (Memory)

>Nozdormu: Scalykind (Dragon), Law (Inevitable), Luck (Fate), Repose (Ancestors)

>Neltharion (pre-corruption): Earth (Caves), Scalykind (Dragon), Protection (Defense), Strength (Ferocity)

>Deathwing: Scalykind (Dragon), Destruction (Catastrophe, Hatred), Evil (Corruption), Madness (Insanity), Death

>>50682853
Sczarni don't really do anything aside from petty crime/non violent stuff iirc. Nothing worth killing people over unless your the Punisher.

So my DM's asking for a short description of our characters' background. I'm going to be playing a Human Oradin of Ilmater, and while I've got a good idea of how he'll interact with others, I don't really know what his plans\dreams\aspirations are beyond "alleviating those in need like Ilmater says to and because it's the right thing to do".

So toss me any ideas you might have for quests/goals a servant of the Broken God might have. To be more specific, something that isn't just rewarded upon reaching some milestone like "Wow you're amazing! We would like you to join The Justice League." or something similar.

Ok so not deity related but I'm trying to get a Naruto dnd going with some buddies and I could use a hand working on the system
> Inb4youraweeb

So far I have it set up so that all players start with a modified ninja class renamed shinobi, works similarly to the original class except the ninja tricks would be touched up on/added to, and Ki, renamed chakra, works off of CON instead of CHA. For the chakra you choose one of the 5 natures at character creation, and can possibly earn more along the way (still figuring that one out), now instead of a strict list of jutsu's for players to use I have it split into several abilities that encompass all the elements, such as clone, manipulation, and dragon techniques. There are some separate jutsu's though like rasangan, and summoning jutsu being two examples. Now since all members of the group would start out human there would be no real need for a race module, so I have that replaced with a currently in progress clan system, though there would be a build your own character option.

Could anyone give me ideas or advice for furthering this along?

>>50683115
Sword and no armor? I might be brainfarting but I actually can only think of Investigator who does that, except for oddball monk builds that put feats into making other things monk weapons.

>>50683380
Naruto ninja's are often better done as kineticists, aside from the occasional rando that is a monk or something like rock lee.

>>50683380
Mandate everyone being a caster, but everybody gets a Monk's unarmed strike. Naruto was supposed to be just about wizards anyway before he changed it to ninjas, wasn't it?

>>50682612
>What gods have you made?

I mage a god of grief and rage, who left the heavens after his lover was killed. All the other gods used her body to make the race of man, and each gave them a gift (knowledge, drive, mastery of tools, etc)... Well the god of grief snuck in and gave newborn man the gift of fury. He is very much their father god after this event. He was the second to last god to give his gift.

The other gods claimed he ruined man, except for the god of death... who claims he perfected them. The god of death was the last god to give his gift to man, and he gave them mortality, they would not have to toil away for eternity, suffering grief and loss (which were the downsides to passion and emotion).

The "avatar" of this god is always portrayed as weeping (like an erinyes) - his face contorted with extreme emotion. He can be found by wandering into a storm - because he brings water to the land. Sometimes he's a soft rain, sometimes he's a raging storm, but man can always find him by wandering into a storm.

His followers are few, but wildly powerful and they have all lost someone important to them (whether it be a newborn child, or a lover or a sibling). You can always seek the father of man out in a storm, and there's a lot of superstitions about it. It's commonly thought that only the crazed walk into a storm.

the god of death wanders the mortal realms as an old man, and whenever a storm comes his way he finds his way to a hill where he sits and chats with the god of grief, consoles him a bit and asks him to give up his anger - which every time has been met with flat refusal

The other gods made their own races, but none have quite the connection with their patron that man has.

Mulibrous Tincture; 2gp/dose

Mulibrous tincture is an alchemical mixture of plants, fungi, and distilled reagents brewed primarily by dwarves, halflings, and humans. A single dose of the minty elixir is sufficient to relieve menstrual pains for 1d4 days, and grants the imbiber a +1 alchemical bonus to saves against pain for one hour. Many noblewomen believe the tincture also slows the aging process and extends their fertile years, though with mixed results.

Consuming two doses of mulibrous tincture a week for more than two weeks in a row causes stomach upset and food cravings; imbibers must make a DC 12 Fortitude save each day or be sickened for 24 hours. Once the imbiber has successfully saved against the tincture’s effects two days in a row, they may continue drinking it without further ill effects. Consuming mulibrous tincture twice a week for more than four weeks begins to dull masculine features, and causes a masculine-bodied being to take on increasingly feminine features. After two months, a masculine-bodied imbiber no longer suffers any penalty to Disguise checks to appear as the “opposite” sex. After four months, the imbiber instead takes a –2 penalty to Disguise checks to disguise themselves as a man.

The transformational effects of mulibrous tincture wear off at half the rate they developed, though sufficient long-term use makes the transformation effect permanent (GM discretion).

Alchemical Component: Five doses of mulibrous tincture may be added as a material component for the alter self spell, extending its duration as per the Extend Spell feat

>>50684239
Well, aid another's an option if you're close but you do need something to protect yourself.

The answer is a firearm. Even without proficiency, a firearm will net you attacks vs touch-AC, which at higher levels will let your noncombatant ACTUALLY HIT THINGS, which ain't going to fucking happen with a crossbow*

So at the very least get yourself something like a double-pistol or a dragon pistol early on (scatter shots), and a double-barreled shotgun when you can afford it. Even with the -4, you'll be far more likely to hit later on than you would with any other weapon type, which if you aren't actually someone with good bonuses, is going to be your only hope.

In fact, if you *can*, consider the machineguns later on... They're incomaptible with damage feats to begin with, so it's not like you're losing out if you don't even get deadly aim with it.

*(crossbows are the redheaded stepchild of pathfinder RAW, except more often beaten, and compared quite disfavorably to the damage output of water balloons. This is no joke, this is something that acutally happened).

>>50684417
>grants the imbiber a +1 alchemical bonus to saves against pain for one hour.
When is this a thing? Is this just a save against damage?

>>50684417

They did want everyone to be included. So here's your man juice

Anderos Salve; 5gp/jar

A human and halfling specialty brewed from animal organs and rare roots, anderos salve is sold under a hundred different claims, from reversing balding and growing facial hair to transforming a soldier into a superhuman juggernaut. More realistically, older men use it to slow the aging process, alleviate impotence, and restore the vigor of youth. Smearing a dose of anderos salve on the upper arm or chest reduces the physical penalties from age by one point for 1d4 hours, and provides a +1 alchemical bonus on Fortitude saves to resist becoming fatigued for one hour. A creature may only benefit from the effects of anderos salve once per 24 hours

Applying one dose of anderos salve per day for two or more weeks causes irritability, difficulty sleeping, and muscle cramps. Imbibers must make a DC 12 Fortitude save each day or be fatigued for 24 hours. Once the user has successfully saved against the salve’s effects two days in a row, they may continue applying it without further ill effects. Applying anderos salve once a day for more than four weeks begins to reduce fatty tissue, stimulates hair growth, and makes features more angular, causing a feminine-bodied being to take on increasingly masculine features. After two months, a feminine-bodied imbiber no longer suffers any penalty to Disguise checks to appear as the “opposite” sex. After four months, the imbiber instead takes a –2 penalty to Disguise checks to disguise themselves as a woman.
The transformational effects of anderos salve wear off at half the rate they developed, though sufficient long-term use makes the transformation effect permanent (GM discretion).
One jar contains ten applications of salve.

>>50684440
Nah, basically saving throws (fortitude or will) against either being tortured or certain spells

>>50684300
Is that better than potshots with a crossbow? I'd rather not be on the front line if I can avoid it.

>>50684496
How is a non gunslinger getting a rifle at low levels?

>>50684494
actually that's the one thing it has going for it, it's cheaper. it's 5s a dose (10 uses in a jar).

>>50684514
What happens if you take both?

>>50684508
No one is. Not even the gunslinger. Gunslingers aren't a magical wonderful class; they just get to eventually have some bonuses that make up for the flaws in firearms.

Nevertheless, as soon as his character can afford it, something like a double-barrel pistol may be exactly the "one potshot once in a while" the player needs; one that actually fucking works.

>>50684528

>>50684762
GM permission? Aside from that, you need to be a race that doesn't use con for HP, then you can grab a feat in the Roil Dancers pdf that uses that attribute instead.

Temporary bonuses don't count

>>50684842
dont think poly counts, that'd run into the racial bonuses.

And i'm rolling tits thank you very much. i'm just that kinda guy.

>>50684842
Size bonuses likely would count, though I'm unsure if they affect CON. Racial ability scores would impact it The half-giants lack of a CON bonus is why I disagree with their inherit +2 on top of the d12. Memes are great and all, but it gets ridiculous. In all honesty it dick or bust size should probably cap based on creature size. Else we can run into areas where your dick "should" extend into the next square but /doesn't/ because you're still medium.

3d8 would probably be better, and even that's still too big IMO. Tieflings shouldn't be 2d10 either. They should be 2d8, and Half-Giants should be 2d10 and that's only really because of powerful build, Aasimar should be 2d6, Humans and most other medium races should be 2d4

>>50684987
Con should not effect dick size. I've met sickly people with big dicks.

>>50685029
I'd be in favor of that too, honestly. Especially since most people put a 12 or 14 into con, it's just inflation of numbers.

He was a fantastically racist Chelish nobleman from a cadet branch of House Henderthane who saw a trip to the Mwangi Expanse as the PERFECT opportunity to bring his particular rendition of the Henderthane line to prominence, after that dreadful Orinxes Affair saw the entire main trunk of the Henderthane line exterminated.

He was bold, obnoxious and hopelessly British.

Well the potluck didn't go well. When I got to work and I was parking my bike the basket of my bike came off and spilled everywhere and one of the dishes broke.

>>50684925

Half-Giants are still medium creatures.Big body doesn't mean big dick. See: Gorillas.

Really no one cares about the dick or breast rolls unless its for meme fun times.

>>50685134
That's why I advocated for them only being 2d10. even that's still an average of 57% bigger. 4d4 would be about 42% though

Good example. On a related note, how big are giants? They can't actually be That big if they're managed to get a woman pregnant without killing them. So goes for men and women giants, if "the journey" is to far they the female giant get pregnant to begin with.
I propose giants are similar to gorillas in size on depth.

Most are "large" with a couple high-ish CR'd ones being Huge. I'd say that it'd be more likely that the lower CR ones are the ones that would actually "propagate" with humans.

>>50685303
Could also be young ones.
That 13 year old giant managed to pass himself off as a big burly man at the tavern once the women got drunk enough. He went home to brag to his friends that he totally got laid, and now the woman's looking for the big tough adventurer that fathered her child.

It's worth noting that giants get a lot more magical after "hill" territory, and so are more able to make magical accomodation.

He does do a fine job on the floors overnight, but I'd stay the fuck away from the fresh fruits and vegetables in that aisle, though. That floor buffer he uses to clean the place basically sends all that dust, dirt and smoke-like crap into a big cloud that settles everywhere on them.

Then people buy the apples and fucking bite into them without ever having scrubbed them for several hours first.

>>50685297
Fair, but for a race to exist on a notable scale there has to be successful attempts at breeding.
>>50685256

That's a really good point. I think I might actually retool it a bit so she serves as part of the Magnimar town watch instead of Sandpoint and she's suspended after she goes too far. During this suspension she returns home, but keeps up her vigilante activities.

Yeah, I wanted it to be a trigger that pushed her over the edge but you're right it's way too extreme for simple theft. I definitely need to step up the crime to something that's worth killing over.

Speaking of uh "appearance" rolls. I think the Str+dex+con+cha /8 to get your appearance/10 system is kind of flawed. It seems like unless you have ungodly high stats in every area you often end up completely average.

>>50685607
12 str, 18 dex, 14 con and 7 cha gives a 6.375/10, which isn't /bad/, especially for a non-charisma character. I think the system is fine.

My gripes are for charisma characters mainly. Unless you've got all your physical stats up there as well its hard to be "attractive".

I have no idea who that is, but the dessert makes me think he's a cook. So, going by that, DSP has made a martial tradition by the name of "Ordre des Repas Exotiques". Could use that as a starting point for backstory.

As for the actual build, who is that?

>>50686546
Sanji, from One Piece.

Sorry, I forget that One Piece isn't as big in English speaking countries as it is in Japan.

Moderate cliffhanger as well. Our group is trying to travel through an area of pure wild magic, to try and reach a group of subterranean not!alien mutant elves. To cap it off, my oracle got blasted by pure transmutation and is trying to not degenerate into a formless blob.

Vigilante (Stalker) with Broken Blade.

Take a trait to give him Elemental Flux for movement abilites. You can probably give up Primal Fury.

Take Advanced Study to get the Unbroken Stride stance from Sleeping Goddess so that he can run on water.

Keep Primal Fury. Take Weapon Group Adaptation to make unarmed strikes a discipline weapon.

Take Advanced Study again to get an Elemental Flux strike or boost that copies Hell Memories.

Do people do this?

There is literally no reason not to take those, it's free spell points.

>>50687446
Somatic makes you vulnerable to shit like grapples though, and verbal won't work when silenced or in silence.

>>50687446
>Free

If you wanna look at it like that.

>>50687446
Well if you are like anon and don't want to use hands (for some reason that I think is related to being a kineticist and therefore shit.). Also silence/grapple are a thing too.

>>50687446
>free
>has a cost

What did anon mean by this?

>>50687456
>>50687471
I've only seen zone of silence used like twice against PC's.

If you're getting grappled as a caster you're already fucking up.

>>50687408
If you weren't a kineticist, Aegis can grow extra weapon arms. But even if you fluff them as hardpoints they're 'prehensile' and will lock you out of gather power.

Make tiny gun-holding spiderbots that will happily hitch a ride on a significantly larger critter, and fire when ordered.

... In fact that gives me an idea...

So, how's that Hell's Vengeance going?

>>50687501
Somatic also necessitates having hands FREE.

So I hope you weren't planning on holding anything else at the time, anon.

Verbal also fucks over Stealth.

>>50687501
That those drawbacks, while technically at coming at a cost are pretty much almost negligible. Like corner case scenario negligible.

>>50687501
While that's true of Vancian casters in 1pp, when we're talking sphere blasters or the like in PoW situations, that's a different story.

>>50687558
I mean Psionic Manifesters are in the same boat, there closest sphere analogue is just "Magical Signs"

>>50687446
>No spherecaster ever wears armor

You know classes outside fullcasters exist, right?

>>50687528
Doesn't really effect much since taking a hand off something is a free action, so not an issue unless you're dual wielding.
>stealth
You mean those guys who cast all their shit before they begin skulking around?
>>50687592
Well obviously you wouldn't take it if you were tromping around in heavy armor.
>You know classes outside fullcasters
Literally no reason to play a sphere caster that isn't at least mid, which all use light armor iirc. Meaning you can take somatic at least once a be fine.

>>50687918
Basically if you have the ability to use maneuvers (whether from feat chains, or classes, or archetypes for practically every damn class out there short of full casters) they are things you know, kind of like...

Have you played 4e? The "encounter abilities" system was literally grown from the book of 9 swords (PoW's 3.5 predecessor). They are things you know, that you can do once per encounter (though there's ways to recover/recharge them too).

You apply them by knowing them (just like you may 'know' spells), and you select (again, a lot like spells) which ones are 'readied' for when you'll start a fight (while this can be done by day chances are you've got a 'default' set of favorites and those are what you usually have loaded).

Stances, you can have one of, but you basically can spend all day in it; think of it as some martial arts breathing technique or whatever.

When you want to use them, you just... do. They all have their action costs, the stance is toggled semi-passive bonuses that you're in (like "your speed is 10" higher and you can run on water" or something) until you swap to a different one.

So, you decide to use a standard action strike, that's your standard action. It's 'expended', the effects occur; almost always this will involve having you make an attack (but incompatible with vital strike as the action was the maneuver not a regular attack) and it'll have bonus effects if you hit.

>>50687983
I actually made a cannibal for my character but scrapped it.

It was pretty fun in concept.

So, do Path of War maneuvers enhance your attacks with your weapons?

Or do they not use your weapons at all?

>>50688076
They use you weapons, though some don't. For example certain counters and manuvers are AoE attacks, but those will usually be specified.

>>50688076
Yes, they enhance your weapon attacks.

They are used as part of the attack during a standard action.

>>50688054
What about initiator level? Is that literally just the level of the class I'm in that uses those stances or does it work more like spellcaster "levels"?

>>50688076
There's some that are set damage, like "you fire off a beam of 6d6 electrical damage as a 10' line" or something. Or that do no damage at all.

the grand majority of maneuvers use your weapon - whether that's your dick(which I'm told is a euphemism for your dick) or your colossal blade (which I'm told is also a euphemism for your dick)

So I'm a DM for a group that's mostly been doing 3.5e for the past year and a half, but our campaign had just finished up and we all decided to switch to Pathfinder for our next campaign.
I know that the two modules are similar, but I've seen differences in the mechanics of each, such as how many skill points you can have at level 1, and whatnot.
As a soon-to-be-Pathfinder DM, what are some of the more mechanical differences I should be looking out for in Pathfinder when compared to 3.5e?

If you're a straight up initiator, that's the class level.

However it's a bit more multiclass-friendly; You also add half (round down as always) of NON initiator levels to this, to determine your maximum available level and the numerical value (as in if it says "add your initiator level").

You aren't learning new techniques though (your known/readied isn't changing) but the maximum usable ones do increase, which is particularly handy if you get the chance to swap some old ones out.

Alright, cool, just needed to double check before allowing PoW in my game.

Now to figure out when enemies should start using PoW stuff...

>>50688109
Initiator level to your levels in a martial disciple class+1/2 your other class levels. It's used to determine what level of maneuver you can use.

For example a warder 3/Wizard 4 has an initiator level of 5 and can use 3rd level maneuvers.

Get it?

Very little changes. Skills remain the same they just call it something different for that +3 you get for taking class skills.

>>50688175
When the PCs reach level 4.

I'm not basing this on experience, but it sounds like the level they could survive a maneuver.

>>50688154
As someone who went from almost entirely 3.5 to pathfinder, I'll say that Perception melding all of the sight/listening/other sense-based checks is probably the biggest godsend to your players that they'll get after moving over, and that just by itself will make it difficult for you all to move back. Aside from that, grappling uses a different system entirely from 3.5 but once you get how it works it's so much more beautiful in its simplicity, and as much as some people here might disagree I find that it's a lot less bloated with unneeded 3pp material.

Chargen gives me headaches. So worried about doing things right.

Can someone explain to me why initiation modifiers are important again?

>>50684417

In a setting where an elixir that instantly and perfectly changes one's sex is a few hundred GP up from being a party favor as far as PCs are concerned, why would anyone ever buy these?

>>50688220
Depends on your style and the character. They can affect class features, save DC's on maneuvers, or bonus stuff from stances.

>>50688175
Be very careful with that.
"enemies" tend to have a level of expendability that the PCs don't get.

But a good way is to give middling enemies (like, not the 50 level 1 mooks) one or two techs, and save real initiating for full-fledged and *dangerous* combatants.

It's kind of like how you don't give "6/day empowered fireball, 2/day twin-maximized prismatic spray" to a 10-pack of fucking hellhounds and expect it to be anything other than rocks fall at level 8.

But if you're facing 10 guys as two 'fireteams', the leader of each 5-group has martial training with a single strike or counter, it'll work out rather well.

Because when the guy with the Madsen is given Aurora Break and Tempest Volley, it's no different from having them face a ragepounce barbarian built for 1k+ DPR.

>>50687983
If its a dietary choice, its edgy.

If its cultural / religious, its justifiable.

In India, cannibals ate people as a sort of respect for the dead, "keeping their loved ones close to them" in an almost literal sense.

In Africa, certain hunters ate their kills, including other people, because hunting for sport is disrespectful to nature by wasting food - So killing a fellow man, often in an act of war or self-defense and eating some part of him is a show of respect, odd that may be.

In South america, cannibalism is said to be a God's example, they have gods who say that eating their fellow man gave them that man's power. This is the same culture that practices human sacrifice.

In Asia, cannibalism is a show of aggression and saber-rattling. Warriors would often feast on their enemies because they thought it makes them braver. A sort of "We are merely predators hunting our prey" kinda mental conditioning.

>>50688167
>>50688176
So if I get this right, an initiator is any class that specializes in martial combat, correct? So for instance, if I was a vigilante or Rogue as the fellas above suggested I'd only need to go at a 1-1 ratio in terms of qualifying for maneuvers and stances?

>>50688220
Initiation modifier changes a couple of things. For one, initiating classes have bonuses tied in to their modifier. Warlord gains a bonus to will saves, Stalker and Warder to Initiative, Harbinger to AC, etc. It also modifies the save DC of your maneuvers, which is usually something along the lines of 10+Maneuver Level+Initiation modifier.

>>50688258

Maybe you don't WANT to be permanently the opposite sex. maybe you wanna regulate your peroids. Maybe it might be cheaper.

>>50688269
An initiator is someone who gets manuvers as a class feature. So classes like
>Warder
>Warlord
>Stalker
>Zealot
>Mystic
>Harbinger
>Medic
>Path of War archetypes
So a Hidden Blade Rogue is an initiator, but a Fighter or Standard Rogue is not.

>>50688274
My mistake, harbinger gets it to hit, not AC.

>>50688258
hundreds of GP is a tall order for someone who doesn't raid dungeon for a living.

>>50688175
Rule of thumb: NEVER give full casters/manifesters initiating.

Not only can you end a campaign outright by letting a fucking wizard Break the Hourglass, but you're opening a can of worms for their next 'builds' that should never have been opened. You are releasing the flood upon your own galaxy, except the flood is made of fucking Metroids with frickin lasers on their <heads?>

>>50688269
A Caster is someone that uses spells; usually the Arcane/Divine slot system

A Manifester is someone that uses psionic powers.

Ergo; an initiator is a maneuver user. Someone that uses the PoW system.

Speaking of initiating, I'm thinking of making a vigilante doctor Polymath Investigator, and I'm wondering what the best weapons for a Steel Serpent specialist would be.

Also, not really sure what to grab for a level 7 stance, I have no interest in the grappling stance Steel Serpent gets at the 3rd level.

>>50688311
Full Casters and Manifesters can't even get initiating without feats and even then it's hella stunted.

Besides mixing ray attacks with PoW boosts can be fun.

Gotcha, so when they said Stalker Vigilante they meant the Vigilante that's in PoW and not the Vigilante that's considered a Base class in d20pfsrd. Things suddenly make a lot more sense.

Awinita is eating her foes, and other creatures she kills, for the metaphysical benifits. and maybe physical benifits. Those Orcs have a +4 racial bonus to strength. Their meat is obviously full of GAINS.

>>50688338
I didn't say it was impossible, I said "don't do it" to a GM.

>>50688311
I'm pretty fucking sure you can't get 9th level maneuvers with martial training unless you get into some multi-classing shenanigans and even then you aren't really a full caster at that point.

>>50688351

Right, fair point, but what if I can't use the tech guide?

>>50688266
I was mostly planning for them to be used by big name enemies anyways.

Like if the players have spent a good amount of time getting into this guy's base, after fighting his forces for quite a few sessions, I think he should have a stance and know a few maneuvers.

Nonsense! Just do some jank combination of a sphere caster, focus sphere, bladecaster/battletemplar/awakened blade and practiced initiator!

You know some PrCs might be workable, like Eldritch Knight. My rule is that you divide your caster level by 2 and subtract 1 to determine the level of spells you can cast to determine what prestige classes you can enter.

>>50688446
>Troll meat might kill a man by obstructing his gullet.
That's why you heat it up so it won't regenerate. Besides a little throat obstruction never stopped a true connoisseur, why in the land of Minkai I heard the eat live octopus!

in Minkai they eat it raw

>>50688508
See you say that but they have that one fish that will literally kill you with its poison if the chef isn't good enough to slice it up without letting the poison get into the good part of the fish.

>>50688534
Huh, I must've overlooked that.

>>50688461
I actually rolled a Bard whose profession was 'frontiersman / journeyman'

He finds value in everything he kills.

Furs and Scales he sells off for clothing.

Blood, Piss and Shit he sells off to alchemists because they might discover a new reagent.

Bones he sells off to craftsmen who fashions them to sword handles or actual weapons

Eyes and Brains, etc, he sells off to eccentric wizards.

Edible meats, he cooks or turns to jerky for later.

>>50688552

Fugu, I think it's called.

>>50688552
I'm not saying that people won't eat it. I'm saying it won't taste good without some serious preparation. Purge, leach, butcher, clean, leach again, the whole nine yards.

>>50688576
Might I add, all the gold he earns is usually a pittance. He spends it on lodging, booze and whores.

>>50688584
>. I'm saying it won't taste good without some serious preparation
Yes and...

what race would be a good fit for a bard

i'm thinking of oread since they get a +5ft bonus to their bardic performance

>>50687942

Wait... How are you using a Falcata? I dont see exotic weapon proficiency anywhere in your feats.

>>50688578
That's what it's called.

Anyway I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of all of this PoW stuff, I'll be sure to look it over a few more times just to be sure that I know exactly what I'm doing but I can see why you all treat it like the holy grail for martial classes.

The once and future king of shitposts!

So how many distinct "types" of magic are there in Pathfinder?

There's Psychic, Divine, and Arcane magic, of course. Then you have prepared/spontaneous/arcanist-style casting within the latter two groups. But I'm talking like, the different STYLES of magic that certain classes have. A Shaman, a Druid, and a Cleric are all prepared divine casters using Wisdom as their casting score, but they all go about their business in entirely different ways.

The way I see it, there's the following sort of "types" of magic, disregarding archetypes because those muddy the waters a good deal, but this is what I've dredged up:

>Arcane
Natural Talent, i.e Sorcerers, Arcanists
Patronage, i.e Witches
Study, i.e Wizards

>Divine
Naturalistic, i.e Shamans, Druids
Theological, i.e Clerics
Miraculous/divine intervention, i.e Oracles

>Psychic
This is where it gets kind of weird, because all of the "psychic" magic classes are fluffed as sourcing their powers from different areas and planes entirely, but, here goes:

Channeling the spirits, i.e the Medium, Spiritualist
Unlocking their inner psychic potential through discipline, i.e the fucking Psychic
Using the psychic energy of everyday objects, i.e the Occultist
Harnessing the power of the Elemental Planes i.e the Kineticist
Drawing their power from the Astral Plane to influence minds, i.e the Mesmerist.

Anyone got suggestions for this, anything I missed?

>>50688770
But that's all vancian, baka.

>>50688774
Well shit, whodafuckinthunkit! There wasn't a single mention of the actual mechanics of Vancian in there (apart from prepared/spontaneous but that wasn't dwelled upon), just some notes on where classes that cast spells got their powers from. I think it's some pretty interesting shit dude!
