Pathfinder General /pfg/

Unique Styles Edition. When was the last time your character used a nonstandard combat-style or martial art? How effective was it? How would you do it again if you could?

>FRIENDLY REMINDER: If you need help with a build or character creation, mention what 1st and 3rd-party sources you're allowed! You can't complain if we offer Path of War or Spheres of Power if you never said that you were limited to 1st-party, after all!

Outside of Pathfinder? I used a Shadowrun physad built entirely around throwing coins. They were approximately as damaging as howitzers. Would do again.

In Pathfinder? I'm currently in the process of building a venerable Brute/Scrollmaster. I can't imagine it'll be too effective.

Only in games with houserules in effect, honestly. The exception is some unarmed UCMonk / Brawler builds if those even count as nonstandard.

Not quite these /pfg/ ones but something similar in my last game gave unique benefits for some shitty styles, an approach I greatly prefer to ones that just try to have them catch up by acquiring THF benefits with investment.

I need suggestions for a wizard that tends to build castles in his free time. Whenever the party stops, I'm planning to build an ever expanding fortress, and leave it there once we leave. We're 13th level and mostly first party.
>>
Lads! I've got two questions!

1. Is there any way I can get proficiency in Dueling Swords as a human without spending a feat? I couldn't find a trait that does it, but is there a Human alternate racial?

2. How do weapon enchantments work? Does a +1 keen weapon do the same amount of attack and damage as a +2 weapon (since keen is a +1 bonus, making the effective weapon bonus +2?)
>>
>>51377903
Dude just spend the feat. It's not like having one less is gonna make you less of a man.
>>
>>51377903
>There's a human ART that replaces the bonus feat (I think) and lets you get MULTIPLE Exotic Weapon Proficiencies, go look at the human page and ctrl+f it faggot
>The Keen property takes the place of one of the flat +1's, but it's priced as a +2 weapon, meaning you get +1 to attack and damage and the keen effect instead of just +2 to attack and damage
>insert spoon here

>>51377914

But I've got sooo much to take as-is, that feat could be better spent on something like Lightning Reflexes or Greater Weapon Focus!
>>
>>51377897
You'd need fabricate, but it's not exactly fast. To make a fortress it'll probably take a couple casts, which will be a problem unless you hugely leveled.

2hu's a decently fun person to play with, though. One of those kinds of autistic people who has an easier time interacting with others in a fictional setting.

I can't imagine that, to be honest. I don't hate 2hu and I don't think he ruins all the games ever, but I've had conversations with him and he definitely lacks social awareness.

So in your setting how rare are people with PCs class levels?

PC class levels and above level 5?

Level 10? 15? 20?

What about people with a PrC?

Or people with mythic ranks?

>>
>>51378183
>>51378217
NO

STOP

YOU WILL SUMMON HIM (them?)
Seriously though, I mostly agree that they are kinda fun to play with. They have their patterns like shota traps or wealthy, influential kids and can behave in abrasive, inconsiderate and obstinate way but I guess that's what you get for having autism. Really, as long as the system you are playing isn't too broken it can be fun.

I just wish for them to let Pathfinder go. This isn't really a game for them in many ways.

Assuming you mean level 30 characters, there are 37 of them in my game. If you mean 10 levels in base/core+10 prestige, there are only 8.

Each is a named and created character with a purpose and place in the world.

there are also about 175 gestalt characters, of which 25 have mythic tiers. The are the ruling nobility of a specific kingdom where they are literally smarter, stronger, and more powerful, truly ruling by "divine" right.
>>
>>51378444
Not very. Overall something like 1/4 of the population has class levels of some kind, whether it's a few levels in fighter for the guard captain or a Wizard 5 court mage. Above level 5 they have to have class levels, usually mixed in with some NPC class levels. Very rarely do people have a PrC, it's mostly organizational, like how the Planar Border Control NPCs have some people with the Riftwarden PrC. No one in my setting has mythic ranks.

I've asked this before, never got any responses. I guess I'll try again.

Requesting a comprehensive list of Witch Spells, [NO 3PP], that would be useful and advisable for a campaign with lots of expected undead (Mummy's Mask AP) please no spoilers.
Playing an archetype that can make use of melee touch spells as if they were ranged, keep that in mind if it bumps some otherwise bad spells into being good.

Autism is a strange illness. For people with high and moderately functioning autism(2hu is high function) social interaction can be easier with a 'barrier' between them and their partner.

There was a famous mathematician who literally could not speak to people directly. You had to sit coincidentally near him and voice your ideas to thin air and he might respond. Maybe. Perhaps dungeons and dragons back then would have advanced mathematics if he had access to it.

2hu plays a lot, actually. It's not too unusual.

>>51378549
Healing spells harm undead. Figments affect undead normally, even though they are illusions, sospells like Minor Image, Major Image, and Programmed Illusions work on them. Undead have eyes so Mudball, Blind/Deafen, and other spells of that sort are good. Force effects harm incorporeal undead normally, as do positive (such as healing spells) and negative energy spells. Protection from X/Circle of protection from X is critical for use agaisnt undead with touch attacks.

I'd strongly recommend playing a gravewalker, it completely solves your undead problem while still letting you use melee touch spells as if ranged, within your aura of desecration.

Yes, but they wanted EWP with a Dueling Sword to get Dueling Mastery, so I explained that they should do something else.

Yeah, that'd be better. Make everyone the paragon of a deity looking to stop the progression of the Worldwound. Maybe cut out gestalt and make it Mythic, I dunno, but it's better than 'lol, comfy' as a premise.
Comfy is something that's nice to have as part of a game, a sense that stakes are typically pretty low. It allows you to relax rather than have your feet to the fire constantly, but it's not something you can build a game around.

So far the build is [Warder (ZS) 6 / Landsknecht 4 || Fighter (Weapon Master) 8 / Duelist 2, which means the only feats I have to get is Quick Draw.

Power Attack (free), Furious Focus, Quick Draw, Shield Focus, Improved Initiative, Defensive Expertise, Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, Weapon Finesse and Dueling Mastery are what I've got so far...

Actually, second question: How many "pool point" features is too many? I ask because taking Animus, while very helpful, would put me at three point pools to juggle, and I don't know how I should feel about this. I'm gonna need to figure out and make a spreadsheet of abilities at this rate.

Honestly it's because "comfy" just doesn't make for good campaign. It makes for circle jerking and "tee hee" level gameplay and pacing slower than molasses. You need something enticing besides "comfy". Because from what it sounds like sleepy goddess is a bunch of unconnected drivel to try and support 'totally not ERP'. I want some kind of stakes with my game.

Also, Lunge, for your float/sting stuff.

Keep in mind that Lunge doesn't apply to AoOs because you lose the reach at the end of your turn.
However it's still pretty good if you have Landsknekt's 10ft reach, because it means if the enemy only has 5ft reach, you could smash them from 15ft away and then they'd HAVE to provoke an AoO to get you in their range.

The Occult Sadist Warpath follower inquisitor gets access to pact magic, pow and vancian magic.

There are a fuckload of classes that get their basic casting type and either PoW or Pact Magic. The inquisitor is the only one that I know of having 2 other subsystem archetypes stack.

The psychic mage triggers Gareth every time we mention it, but it is quite powerful and has access to both psionics and vancian casting.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Does Spell Combat count as a "full attack action" for the sake of PoW strikes that specify making a full attack? There's an FAQ that says Spell Combat is "considered a full attack for purposes of haste and other effects", but I'd assume it's not supposed to work with something like Raging Hunter Pounce, as much as I'd love if it did.
>>
Does Advanced Study give a character access to 7th level and higher maneuvers if they're one of the martial Archetypes (Silver Fist), or is it still limited to 6th and below?
>>
>>51379263
But none of the characters are furry. It's explicitly neko.

Am I reading this right? Temporal Body Adjustment is a flat "you don't get a negative condition?"

>>51379649
>This functions much like two-weapon fighting, but the off-hand weapon is a spell that is being cast.

You have to full attack in the first place to use two-weapon fighting, so it's obviously full attacks.

>>51379692
Because DSP thought that bringing back Iron Heart Surge, but even more retarded was a good idea.
>>
>>51379652
Yes.
Also lets you get stuff early, ie if you're a level 5 silver fist you could use it to get level 3 maneuvers.

I would think the ruling by RAW no, but it's up for interpretation.
Very much depends on whether your DM thinks it qualifies for 'and other effects'.

Riven Hourglass is very strong, but in my opinion TBA is the only one that steps over the line.
It's unhealthy for encounter design when the only way to meaningfully hinder a PC is to knock them unconscious, because any status condition is instantly negated.
>>
>>51379692
About as good as Obsidian Sidestep or Sanguine Perseverance, except that those two also work against hp damage effects and stuff that instakills you. OTOH with Temporal Body Adjustment you don't spend the immediate if you roll high on your save, and works against no-save effects.
>>
>>51379780
>>51379692
>>51379733
The main problem that seems to be ignored here is that it only works once; you can't really spam it unless all you do for each turn is recover maneuvers, and all that does is make you tank status ailments. If multiple enemies throw them at you in a single turn you can't use it against all of them.
>>
>>51379814
Mystics
Warlords
Bushi
Zealots

Can all spam manevers now. Action free recovery as anything but a 1 day/encounter thing was a mistake.
>>
>>51379804
I see both of those as less offensive.
There's still a chance of failing the skill roll, and most importantly, you must make the choice to use it before you roll the saving throw and before you know what the consequences of failing are.

Temporal Body Adjustment needs no roll, it's an auto succeed, and most importantly, you can make the choice /after/ you fail and see what happens.

>Enemy casts a spell at you, you think it will be something relatively harmless like fort save or fall prone, but then you fail the save and become paralyzed for 1 minute instead

Obsidian Sidestep/Sanguine Perseverance:
>Goddamn it that was a bad call I should have used my counter

TBA:
>No big deal, I retcon it because this counter works retroactively.
>>
>>51379814
Half of the initiating classes recover maneuvers as a swift action.

The only problem is you can only do it every other turn. However that's hardly a fucking problem.

I've got two characters with three each.

Inspiration, Stamina, and then one has Grit/Panache while the other has Spell Points.

>>
>>51379210
Crane Style chain or Swordplay Style (do not follow that one's chain), use with Weapon Trick (an actually cost-effective feat). You're using PoW though, so don't you just have some Nope counter maneuvers to avoid attacks anyway? You might consider using your feats to broaden your character instead of pumping AC.

You can easily pump up the Sense Motive mod beyond 20 by the time you get Sanguine Perseverance, and then it's autopass, since it doesn't nat 1 fail.

And if you use the same "throw multiple debilitating status" encounters on any other party members then they are very much extremely dead.

It's simply bad design.

I don't really ask for much. You charge the orc and hit him in the head with your axe. That is something.
But when people get maneuvers, people drop even the smallest things. Things just become "I use [maneuver] on that guy" or akin to that.

>So in your setting how rare are people with PCs class levels?
Fairly common. Unless someone is just a random farmhand or shopkeeper, there's a pretty good chance that he has PC levels. But that might be a skewed way of looking at it. If someone is interesting(or I just expect the PCs to interact with him) enough for me to stat him, there's a very good chance that he'll end up with PC levels. If someone ISN'T interesting, he won't have stats in the first place, so theoretically he might be statted with either PC or NPC class, so there isn't really a good way to gauge the ratio of PC classes to NPC classes.

>PC class levels and above level 5?
In a fair-sized town of a couple thousand people, maybe a couple dozen. In a sleepy village of a hundred people, probably none.

>Level 10? 15? 20?
Getting rare. In a realm, there's probably only few people with double-digit levels. 15 and above are practically unheard of. It's generally a fairly low-level setting.

>What about people with a PrC?
In theory, maybe a few percent of the people who could potentially qualify for them(by the virtue of being level 6 or higher). So not very common at all.

>Or people with mythic ranks?
No mythic in my games. I use gestalt rules occasionally.

>To combine them all, how rare is a level 20 PC with 10 level in a PrC and Mythic Rank 10?
Replacing mythic with gestalt(see above)... none, actually. The only (statted) level 20 character doesn't have PrC levels at all.

Prebaked flavor allows people to skip coming up with their own flavor through imagination, kinda starting a spiral where they make less and less effort.

>>
>>51378926
Even assuming that what you say is true(it isn't, monster CMD scales far faster than your CMB does unless you sink all your resources into it), grappling is still pretty bad. It's a crowd control that stops you from doing much else, targets a single creature, and doesn't actually stop it from using its natural attacks to full-attack you to death unless you manage to pin it. If it had 100% success rate, it would STILL be a mediocre combat strategy unless you're fighting a single enemy.
>>
>>51380396
That's a problem on the part of the player then; a character shouldn't be solely flavored based on their mechanics, and indeed some of the best characterization comes from things that have nothing to do with the mechanics of a character.

Take, for instance, a prince that is on the run from assassins, a romantic that feels choked by how often he must move around, eventually falling into a depressive, alchoholic wreck before being brought back up to his feet with the help of his friends and a woman he knows is his true love, returning to his kingdom and his beloved citizens to defeat the one who hired the assassins and restore order to the land! What class is he, what feats did he take, for that matter what's his race? None of that has anything to do with the CHARACTER underneath. He could be a wizard or a paladin or an oracle or a brawler or anything in-between; what matters is that he is well-written and memorable.

Man, why can't we have a big-ass high powered adventure saving Avistan from demons n' dragons n' shit, we all know the high levels are where things get exciting and the smut gets legendary.

>>51380715
Yes
>>
So, what would /pfg/ WANT out of a /pfg/ aimed campaign?
>>
>>51380822
Burrow and DD are self only so, rest of the party still gets to deal with all the traps and such. DM will be fiiiine.
>>
>>51380862
A literal suicide pact.
>>
>>51380862
Not a /pfg/ aimed campaign. Just run a PF that doesn't shill to people.
>>
>>51380863
DD isn't actually self-only. It just has a limit to the number of people you can take with you that depends on your level.
>>
>>51380862
More lewd to upset butthurt fags.
>>
>>51380862
The one thing no game can do.
>>
>>51380862
Personally this is what I most enjoy from campaigns:
>some form of intrigue, my favorite being criminal intrigue, but courtly and political intrigue are also fun
>optimization is welcomes and encouraged, but exploitation is not (exploitation such as blood money abuse, paragon surge, planar binding abuse, etc.)
>emphasis is put on some kind of management system, I like managing organizations and the planning that goes with it
>fairly high lethality, I find character death to be both interesting and often entertaining, the feeling of constantly being on the edge is exciting
>more serious subject matter, I do not particularly enjoy the lighter of light hearted games
>>
>>51380897
Ah shit you're right. Still, I'm sure the DM will be able to deal.
>>
>>51380862

Either an extremely detailed region where all the action occurs, or a whole bunch of alternating settings we visit for a while before moving on.

High PB, high level. I love you guys, but I need my level 11 or 9 start.

Mythic.

A premise built around something utterly unrelated to a world-shattering threat. For example, I would prefer a campaign where we play gladiators, or partners starting up a business and/or estate.
>>
>>51380961
>Either an extremely detailed region where all the action occurs, or a whole bunch of alternating settings we visit for a while before moving on.
What settings aren't that? It seems like that's just proper use of locations.
>>
First timer here /pfg/.
My friends and I are doing our first campaign and I was wondering about setting a simple trip wire using a rope anchored with pitons in the walls. From what I've seen there aren't a lot of rules about this sort of thing but I did find this spell which is similar on the wiki.
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/3rd-party-spells/rite-publishing---3rd-party-spells/t/trip-line

Do you think this setup would work if I just made the perception check a bit easier, and maybe rolled for the crafting of it?
>>
why am i always so sad /pfg/?

>>51381012
3rd party spell, ask your DM if it's cool to use.

What do you do when you realize you're the "Neil" to some group of friends who probably think you're suicidal, aren't actually your real friends, and are not that interested in your game underneath the facade?
>>
>>51381084
We suck too, Anon. The sooner you realize this, the sooner you can begin to expand.
>>
>>51380862
How about run a regular PF game that doesn't pander to degenerate neckbeards who just want to play pretend-sex with other neckbeards.
>>
>>51381023
Because you determine your self worth based on the number of people with status above yours, rather than your percentile. Your perception of social standing evolved in an environment where you could live your whole life and only meet 100 people. In that society having 50 people better than you meant you were average, while 100 people better than you meant you were bottom of the barrel. Now you can see 100 people who have lives better than yours every day, so your internal evaluation is stuck on the lowest position.
>>
>>51381117
Well first off you scare yourself away from suicide by realizing that the torments which await us all beyond the veil of Death are more terrible and more agonizing than anything one can experience in Life. Our very souls will be flayed upon the altar of misery, from which there will be no escape and no solace save for the screaming, in which our noneuclidean captors will revel.

Then you make them tell you what they think of you to your face.
>>
>>51381208
I'm not suicidal, and that would just make me look like a fucking psycho.

>>51381154

Frankly, sitting down with your players and going "alright guys, I get the feeling you're not really enjoying the game. what's up?" should help fix things.

you know, communication like a normal person.
>>
>>51381260
>normal person
>/pfg/
Pick at most one.
>>
>>51381208
Yeah. I don't know awaits after death, but it's nothing good for me.

If there is an afterlife I'm not a good enough person to get a great lot.

My one option is to try and find happiness while alive and preserve my life as long as possible.
>>
>>51381260
That's very different from "make them tell you what they think of you to your face", anon.
>>
>>51381287
I said "like" a normal person, not that he actually was one. subtle, but important difference.
>>
>>51381301
Nah, not really. I just said it more diplomatically than the other guy. Communication and manipulation of circumstances is all in the presentation of things.
>>
>>51381117
You take your pills and relax (anti-anxiety prescription or just vitamin B, take your pick), and realize that by far the most likely reason people act friendly toward you is because they genuinely feel that way.

You want proof, look at their dogshit characters. These people can't roleplay for shit and you think they're capable of pulling off coordinated acting and deception just for you? You know better.

Google image search does wonders friend. I just used it to find he's talking about the character Neil from Community.

>>51381546

It's a name associated with something, like Chad or Stacy or Tyrone.

>>51381676

Stacy is the female version of Chad!

And Tyrone is black.
>>
>>51377540
Pretty much all of them. Nonstandard characters I've built include:
>a poison user
>an actual Tower Shield user
>a Kineticist/Fighter/Monk that can mow down a line of enemies by running into them
>a Monk that fights in wombo-combo
>a Rogue/Fighter that specialized in Cleave
>a Monk that was basically a Dungeoncrasher
>Senator Armstrong
>a character that has a 130-foot radius reach and can actually break combat using soley 1pp materials
>a character that optimized for carrying capacity that can use whole cities as a projectile

Shotas are little boys, and if you're calling them Shotas, they're sexualized, effeminate little boys.

So you have pedophile, sissy, faggot (if male)/fujoshi (if female), and magical realm, which is bad civ even before adding the weebery.

Bunnygirls have Fran from FFXII covering for them, foxgirls are a splat race (very few people remember Kitsune are full furry), catgirls are one of those weeb things non-weebs know and the cat noises are fucking annoying even if the player isn't touching themselves to making them.

>>51382516
It could probably work as a Blue Mage sort of thing. You can use any ability that's been used against you in the last ~48 hours, but with half BAB and some fraction of spell slots.

Can only be comboed to death and back if you can take the abilities from your party members and you know what, team synergies can be stronger than normal.

Maybe have archetypes based around increasing your spell slots by removing things you can copy, like, extra spells if you can't copy divine spells, just arcane ones.

It's genuinely his failing, with a bit from the system. "Reach location" puzzles aren't the only type of puzzle in existence, and they NEED to be interspersed with other types at level 5+. After 7th level they should represent a very small proportion of puzzle and trap types.

M8, that's what we call bribery. It's totally the sort of religious practice that could arise in a setting such as this.
>>
>>51383954
I guess what I'm really saying is that lycanthropy is done wrong in PF and DnD.

It should be like the Frenzied Beserker.
Granting powerful benefits but making you a detriment to those with you.
>>
>>51384001
You'd be surrounded by pirates who would gladly take that bribe from Davy Jones.
>>
>>51384046
Issue is that 'be a detriment to those around you' is a fucking terrible design decision.

It's one of the reasons that Brute Vigilantes fucking suck.
>>
>>51384072
It's the right design decision because lycanthropy is a curse/disease. It's not a good thing to have unless you don't care about killing everything around you.

Well I'd say it still counts as "generally" if the party is conveniently excluded.

I don't see why you can't just ask your GM to NPC you as a monster once every few sessions and have the party accidentally kill you.
>>
>>51384372
Why complain about there being no good way to play a werewolf then? Be a skinwalker and shut the fuck up, lol.

Player wants to be a werewolf, acknowledges that skinwalkers blow

>wah, werewolves are mindless killing machines just like in my stories

Anon points out that there are plenty of non mindless killing machines werewolves in fiction

>>51383954
So, what exactly do you want? A twilight sparkling werewolf who turns bishie in the full moon, coat of fur turning into diamond like spines and cock engorging and puffing out its knot so it can fuck all the girls, and the only reason why there are stories about why werewolves are bestial in the full moon is because it makes them like a fucking beast in bed?
>>
>>51384481
>Anon points out that there are plenty of non mindless killing machines werewolves in fiction

Like Scooby-Doo?
>>
>>51384481
People are also pointing out that it would be retarded design sense to make it.

Since, if you NEEEED your 'muh full moon' then you are 'normal human' for all but one fucking night per month.

I want to change into a damned werewolf like a barbarian rages and turn into a damned direwolf like a druid wildshapes. That's it. Not exactly overpowering shit, here.
>>
>>51384646
The idea of a voluntary shift kinda makes lycanthropy a not disease/curse.

Might as well just play Druid/Hunter or something that can wildshape/polymorph/synthesize into unstoppable beast at any time they like without the risk of killing their friends.
>>
>>51384675
So just fluff a barbarian rage/druid as that then.

And have the GM NPC you once a month to try and murder your allies.
>>
>>51384646
>>51384702
Yes, historically, a werewolf did not have control over their transformations. That's what made it a CURSE.

What? When was this the consensus? I thought people liked them, what the fuck changed your minds?
>>
>>51384750
Skinwalkers are great, it's just someone bitching that them transforming isn't some superpower, just something you stay in all the time unless someone's being racist at you.
>>
>>51384750
They're just 3.5 shifters. The're a way to play lycanthropes if you don't think lycanthropes should have animal forms.
>>
>>51384816
Well... they often didn't.

The point of being a werewolf is that you're a wolfman.

Not that you turn into an actual wolf. Wolfman.
