>Being saved by a full on angel on the prime materiel plane.
This is strange, and even further training under said angel, an angel is vulnerable on the prime in such a state it is highly irregular for such a thing to occur. It would make more sense for the person who summoned the angel down to do battle with the cult to take him under their wing.
Also the being told he was needed to travel elsewhere by a divine emissary is very strange, usually deities will do such messages through dreams, signs, ect, sending a divine messenger to give such a thing is abnormal.
>>
>>51436051
Sounds good. To be honest, the angel bit was partly to ensure that I and another player could both use Stolen Fury effectively as a backstory tool, so I kinda ended up piggybacking on theirs.

>>
>>51436835
What do you want to do?
>>
>>51436890
I don't really like Witches for several reasons, but it's my fault for not specifying.

I kinda wanted something that could mix it up in melee a bit, but Int based initiators are spares. Like I could just go Zweisent but I'm honestly getting sick of playing those and every other Int based initiator is either d8 3/4ths BAB or has jank progression(looking at you Initiator Soul) and I won't really have the stats for a decent Con score to make up for squishiness.

Why is aegis janky?
>>
>>51437137
Customization to get maneuvers on top of 6th level initiators already odd progress. It just doesn''t feel good and I'm just not a big fan of the aegis in general. I'm not interested in power stone fuckery or constant reconfigurating shit so a lot of the class is basically wasted.
>>
>>51437243
... actually those are pretty minor things, and you can archetype out of some of the reconfiguring stuff too.

Most Aegis basically build a 'default', and stick to it all the time, with reconfiguration only really showing up for special occasions (like you're going underwater and won't need flight).
>>
>>51437243
If memory serves, Aegis actually NEEDS to spend points to get more maneuvers. They don't actually have a base progression.

They just use the table for what level they can access.

I think. It's been a while and it wasn't even me who was doing this.

It's janky though.
>>
>>51437351
They get 3/3/1 from the base two-point customization. Additional maneuvers known (stances are separate but when you can reconfig and all that you don't really need more than one unless you're stance-dancing) are a point for two the first purchase and 1pt each after that. Every two purchases of additional maneuvers adds a readied as well not just a known.

However, because you can reconfigure all that on the fly (in fact, that's their recovery method), there's some advantages and disadvantages:

>You always need the prereqs because you don't get to train them out at higher levels

>You can switch what you've got even during a fight, it's just an action cost.

It's actually incredibly versatile, but you WILL be putting in quite a few points into maneuvers if you want the better ones. Still, it's a very very strong initiating support whether for multiclassing or in a gestalt.

Class comes with a flaw depending on one's elemental choice (for dragons not kineticists); in my case I have a slowly scaling Will DC when insulted to avoid overreacting. The chairman or whatever of the floor grants right of speech to the wrong person, because Atolm was too small from notice across a frickin stadium.

First roll of the game...

And anything I was planning to suggest at that point flies out the window as I start publicly accusing him of having no muscle, only being huge because everything in him is fat, and of being the thieving pervert they've been having problems with at the bathhouse at the top of my lungs.

Alright, since i'm going to bed now, I might as well repost the link to the lfg thing I have where i'm looking for five people for a non-lewd/non-ERP game, involving a fuckton of houserules, including one feat tax reduction document I found and then promptly modified, along with a Fighter rework that looks rather promising.

https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/67758/pathfinder-the-houserule-testing-edition

If anyone has questions or whatever just post in the topics in that game's forum and i'll get to 'em later today, and I do recommend that people take their time readin' the houserule document since it's got some neat stuff like alternate stats for skills, feat autoprogression, and for some feats, even scaling by BAB.

>>51439799
I have a question for you: why the fuck did you waste my time with that Fighter rework which is more words than and charitably about even with saying "You get AAT/AWT abilities/feats every X levels and Combat Stamina free. You also get the Martial Master archetype/Barroom Brawler for free."

Between that bushel of bullshit and thinking SoP can save you from optimized casters, I have no faith in these houserules.
>>
>>51439882
>thinking SoP can save you from optimized casters,
Got a better solution, asshole?
>>
>>51439799
Your slayer is too strong. Drop the casting to low casting.

Your monk is still too weak. Gestalt it with something.
>>
>>51439882
I'm still up due to downloading Reign of Winter for looking at it later today, so i'll answer this with simply: "I found it while looking at the pathfinder tier list and found it to be neat as heck."

Plus there's more shit reworked for UC Rogues, UC Monks, Slayer (Gonna get bumped down to Low Spherecasting most likely). Martials also get the Unchained Skills for free on top of that, along with the houserules allowing for alternate stats for skills on top of that. And Spherecasting is one of the more balanced magic systems i've seen in a D20 System aside from D20 Modern's solution of "All the casters are now prestige classes and are capped to fifth level spells and also have some hefty requirements to get into."

>>51439899
I'm not sure what to gestalt it with, to be honest. I might port the less nerfed versions of some of their abilities from 3.5e, along with improving their existing class abilities (Fast movement and AC bonus working in light armor, along with being proficient in light armor and a martial weapon group, maybe?)
>>
>>51439932
Gestalt the monk with Unchained rogue. Now you might be thinking, "Nah, fuck that, monks aren't sneaky," but think about it.

It means monks can use their mobility to get into a place to sneak attack, and then blow out enemies with Flurry of Blows sneak attacks.

Think about it. It's really good.
>>
>>51439932
Play 5e instead. You'd be a lot happier.
>>
>>51439946
I like your way of thinking! I still might do my ideas though in addition to that.

>>51439950
5e lacks content so i'm stuck playing this shitty system and trying to improve it.

>>51439960
The Fighter Rework includes a new type of save progression that i'm already attaching to every martials' saves that are on the lowest save progression, so their max will bonus is going to be +10.

>>51439959
Enjoy your false complexity and slew of options that are fucking awful.

Have you actually tried looking through the rules for the 5e? Or do you parrot what others just spew?
>>
>>51439946
>>51439959
>>51439960
If you're gestalting monk with Unchained rogue, give them something at level 2 to make up for the redundant evasion.

Give them Boxing and Open Hand as free spheres, so that they don't, like, have to waste spheres just to get something they already had.
>>
>>51439986
Right, probably gonna use Level 2 to give them free access to the Boxing and Open Hand spheres in that case.

>>51439984
I enjoy 5e, but it honestly needs some more meat on it's bones, and the balance is still kinda iffy (Way of four elements monks and eldritch knight fighters say hoi.)
>>
>>51439984
I've played and GMed 5e a few times and also built or seen every class in action, and I agree with that anon.

Compared to PF, 5e's content is a barren plane.

>>51440018
It's a neat idea, but why do odd-numbered attributes NEED to matter in the first place?
>>
>>51440018
The wis/dex/con ones are too fiddly.
In my opinion the bonuses need to be something you can write on your sheet once and then forget about, like extra trait, extra favored class, higher max dex, etc.

The random +1s and +2s that apply often are just too fiddly to bother with.
>>
>>51440004
AT least 5e's content is actually content, instead of just crap.

Say what you will about 5e, when they make a feat called "Crossbow Expert" It gets some goddamned value and use, instead of being a complete waste of design space that makes crossbows shitty for the next five years.
>>
>>51440003
>>51440004
Compared to PF, 5e's classes actually work and work well, wot4e monk and PHB ranger notwithstanding, but they fixed the ranger in a UA. The eldritch knight is actually good.
There's also the UAs which been released and of course homebrew, but that's hit or miss compared to the solid design of the core 5e engine.

Pathfinder is buried under a shit ton of non options, which you guys seem to think are actual legitimate options, but the fact PF actually needs houserules or 3pp or homebrew to actually have some semblance of playability is saying a great deal.
We've played PF for a while, never again.

Saying PF has heaps of content is disingenuous, since a lot of that is complete shit. Who the fuck designed the feat trees?
And saying 5e is a barren plane or lscks6 content is also disingenuous.
>>
>>51440052
Why can't you accept that some people still like PF more than 5e?
>>
>>51440052
>>51440051
I agree, 90% of PF's options are crap.

But it says something about 5e that even the 10% of workable stuff PF has is more content and variation than all of what 5e has in total.
>>
>>51440052
Honestly, the entire reason i'm doing that houserule test game is so I can see just how Pathfinder is with more powerful martial classes, the feat trees more or less removed in their entirety, and with some of the most heinous feat taxes removed or at least reworked to be actually kind of interesting. And, besides, 5e really does kind of have a drought of content, which isn't helped by the fact that most of the D&D design team got laid off just before 5e was supposed to come out, which is why there's such a slow trickle of stuff compared to previous editions.

Anyways, my download finished a minute or two ago so i'm going to head to bed for now, anyone interested in my game knows where to talk about it.
>>
>>51440064
Why do you have Stockholm Syndrome?

>>51440070
Haha, uwotm8.
Wizards in this edition at least are concerned about quality and it shows.
Meanwhile Paizo has perpetual content diarrhoea. Yeah but it's like finding gold nuggets once or twice in an ocean of shit.

Have you played with all the variation and content of the stuff in 5e? All of it?
>>
>>51440071
You might find that's too much work to involve yourself in, especially because the content creators of both 3xe ivory tower design and PFbutthurt edition are against you.

Say what you will about Wizards and 5e but they actually care about the quality of content, and this is the reason for the trickle of content.
They also don't want to inundate the market like they did in previous editions.
PF is inundating the market with filth because the 3e engine failed a long time ago and they can't do anything about it except to still crank out garbage.
Their support of butthurt will ultimately fail them.
>>
>>51440088
Anon, there's 24 disciplines in Path of War plus 6 full initiators and a slew of archetypes, plus prestige classes. Even going with 3 disciplines per build, there's easily over a thousand viable permutations that are all workable, with sub variations since many disciplines offer a variety of maneuvers and effects.

No it fucking doesn't. Most of 5e's 3pp is still end-user garbage-tier homebrew rather than shit from actual publishers. Translate the entirety of Spheres of Power and Spheres of Might into 5e and then we'll talk.
>>
>>51440190
No it's because he is trying to start an edition war when it frankly comes down to personal preference.
Each edition has its own strengths and weaknesses, and trying to argue one is better in the general for a different edition is just bad taste.

Cubicle 7, Dias Ex Machina, Goodman Games, Kobold Press, Necromancer Games, Sasquatch Game Studios, Green Ronin to name a few would like a word with you.

PF was created because of butthurt and you sound really butthurt, guess that's fitting.
>>
>>51440088
>Wizards in this edition at least are concerned about quality and it shows.

Wizards were concerned about quality when they made 4e.
5e is just made taking all of 4e's good decisions and then dressing them up to appeal to all the people who wanted 'real DnD again' while simultaneously chucking out a bunch of good ideas that wouldn't market well.
Half of 5e's decisions were made not for a good game, but a marketable one to save face from 4e's terrible reception.

Now, don't get me wrong, 5e does a lot of nice things, but it really isn't hard to stumble into design flaws.
Expertise breaking the skill DC system over its knee, Sorcerers being gimped three ways with nothing to say for it, the complete arbitrary nature of what recharges on short rest and what doesn't (Seriously, druid wild shape is short rest recovery while barbarian rage is long?).

I burnt out on 5e so fast. It's neater designed, but it's so boring because the only ways to play each class are the ones that fit the designer's narrow range of appropriate playstyles. Even 5e 3pp is boring because 5e's system set bad precedents that 3pp has to follow to not blow base classes out of the water.
>>

>I would expect the same reaction if we were to goto 5th edition general and start posting about how amazing pathfinder is.

>>51440239
Keeping expertise dice and the sorcerer chassis would've have been good but Wizards in their infinite retarded wisdom listened to the 3e/PF players who influenced design in a shit way. The fact 5e's core design is still good despite this influence is kudos to the strong design of the system.

3e/PF fans shit the bed for all of us.

A good DM can save almost every system.

He's talking about without penalty.
Also crossbows are so shit in PF. Why are they so shit? For what purpose?
>>
>>51440364
>>51440357

However expanding on this fifth edition gives you a penalty with all ranged attacks well prone it seems.

>Prone

>A prone creature’s only Movement option is to crawl, unless it stands up and thereby ends the condition.
>The creature has disadvantage on Attack rolls.
>An Attack roll against the creature has advantage if the attacker is within 5 feet of the creature. Otherwise, the Attack roll has disadvantage.


>>51440370
>Inability to read confirmed
>A prone attacker has a –4 penalty on melee attack rolls and cannot use a ranged weapon (except for a crossbow).
Also so that version of Prone shooter does nothing. That is probably why it was updated to this.

>Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +1

>Benefit: If you have been prone since the end of your last turn, the penalty to your Armor Class against melee attacks made against you is reduced to –2. In addition, the bonus to your Armor Class against ranged attacks made against you is increased to +6.

Feats have an entirely different design philosophy in 5th edition vrs 3.X feats are also handled completely differently then in 3.X you can not do a direct comparison when they have very blatant differences in function and design.
The Primary ones being, in 5th edition you will get less feats normally, due to this feats are designed to scale rather then be tiered by more feats, aka eliminating feat tax, which is a good thing in my opinion. This is a good thing but you can't shove this design philosophy directly into 3.X and have anything good come of it.
You are comparing a lemon to an orange.

Thanks for that, I don't often get good critique.

>>51440464
You can still consolidate feats in 3e and PF, see the number of fixes to that effect and that site that keeps getting posted.
To say the two can't compared and the PF feat system can't be fixed is fucking lying and disingenuous as fuck.
It's deliberately sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming it can't be fixed when it can.
This is a concern, you and Paizo should realize the system can be fixed for the better but saying it's just designed that way because of previous baggage is fuckimg retarded.

No. It doesn't matter what you do. Any Mook who is stubborn enough to think they're right can literally Smite you for anything at any time. There must be thousands of headstrong assholes who think the world is just fucked up and Smite people constantly. Your problem is basically anyone who can wield a sword and thinks they're right can kill whoever they want. When I say it's like power attack, I don't mean in terms of viability, I mean in terms of it being so common.

You're assuming that any killer in the world can be effecient culled by Paladins? So is there no conflict in your world? As long as there's conflict, at least one side will be using Smite Evil, and probably both sides will be. Basically everyone can Smite Evil.

Don't forget the bystanders who all think that conflict is the path to ruin, they can freely smite evil too, they just don't do it.

Also these "Paladins" that are hunting down people to establish some kind of punishment system for using Smite Evil are basically just random guys who want to enforce what they think is right on everyone. Since anyone can Smite, who do these guys think they are? They might as well be trying to take swords from everyone and saying only they can use swords. This whole setting is fucked up.

It's a cop out because your system doesn't have anything besides core and PF does. You know you can't compete so you try to cut out things until one of the big weaknesses of 5e dissapears. If you really believed that 5e was better then you'd let it be All vs All, but you don't.

5e has 3pp and the DMsGuild to its name, as someone posted further up in this thread, however these aren't made by the main designers of the game and bringing 3pp bandaids to try to step into the argument means the argument automatically falls in 5e's favor.
5e does not need bandaids to its initial system, your position falls completely flat and you can only flail impotently.
>>
>>51441414

5e sword and board paladin can't cast because both hands are occupied.
5e bards have literally no features that make them care about musical ability or even require a perform check for anything.
5e druids become functionally immortal at level 20 when they get infinite wild shapes.
5e cleric forgets it's missing 2/3 of the domain list.
5e fighters go from being "flexible martial guy" to "haha bet you wish feats weren't so shit this edition!"
5e rogues literally get thieves' cant as a class feature, which shits up the backstory of anyone not actually involved in organized crime.

That's not PF's strength in that it has bandaids, it actually means it needs those bandaids to coherently function as a system. This is not its inherent system strength and the fact you can't recognise this means you're a fucking retard, not to mention the vast majority of games only allow 1pp.

I don't ignore this. I just got done insisting that you include the extra content when talking about Pathfinder, how could you possibly think that I thought they weren't essential? Let's rip 90% of the pages out of 5e PHB and see how well the system holds up. It would suck, wouldn't it? Keep calling it a band-aid as if that means something. It's a bullshit way to dismiss a fix as something less than that, and it just goes to prove that you can't actually talk about Pathfinder without diliberately ignoring parts of it.

If you're talking about extra content in terms of 3pp, then no as we're comparing 1pp to 1pp, otherwise your argument and position is underhanded and disingenuous.
A fix that is necessary for a system to actually function coherently means that system is fucking shit, which PF is and you've admitted it.

Also, thanks for putting words in my mouth. Really appreciate it.

>>51441589
Because it was and is actually well designed.

>>51441605
A lot of you can't recognize you're shovelling shit unto your mouths and tenderly fondelling it with your hands.

Saying that I keep ignoring fixes and expanded content because you can't otherwise form a strong argument or that I'm just a shill because I actually know what a well designed system is is extremely telling that pf and its community are completely cancerous.

Not a minority.

The canonically strongest Humans (in Pathfinder) are Black and the most successful are Arabic.

You're actually an idiot.
Which is is, did these classes never appeal to you or did PF kill the appeal? You've said both things now.
Why is it bad for a system to bore you out of a genre? Is that a serious question? Look, if you don't like it then just play something else.

They never appealed to me much and Pathfinder just killed what little appeal they had for me.

I still like Pathfinder, just with third party content.

>>51441727

I'd argue the Ulfen are the most successful race in Golarion, because unlike every single other group they lack an external or internal threat.

Life in the Linnorm Kingdoms continues as it always has, full of comings and goings. The Irriseni are inwardly focused and wholly disinterested in expansion, the Crown lacks a government, and the Varisians have no interest in conquering them.

But a great people is not made such by the lack of enemies alone, it is made by accomplishments. The Ulfen are famous as warriors and sailors alike, enjoying wealth and prestige (and ample fear) whenever a longboat sails south to the Inner Sea. Their travels have ensured that every ethnic group north of Lake Encarthan(?) has some measure of Ulfen blood, and in fact the Chelish contain a smattering of Ulfen alongside the Tien.

>>51441773
Well, not exactly. In many cases yes, but not all cases. But, even when it would be better to cast the Evocation spell instead of enchanting your gun, it's still better to not have the Evocation spell because of the added utility. As a Sorcerer, you can completely skip 100% of damage spells and instead get the most utility, control, and defense out of your spell selection, because every time you would need a damaging spell you can just burn literally any spell to enchant your gun.

Leaving an organization doesn't change your alignment. Hell that's one of the complaints in regards to how stupid alignments can be. Far too many people seeing that example and thinking "well that makes sense; obviously since he left the army he's completely lost his own codes and discipline".

Which is fucking bullshit on the same level as "If the bible didn't say I'll burn in hell for it, there would be NOTHING stopping me from raping and murdering my children and my neighbors" that we see from extreme-right dominionists on occasion.

The guy left the organization. That's all. In fact, by that very example he left it because he was disilusioned by how it was being abused (against the regulations and laws that should stop that).

There's no way he'd just stop his morning routine forever, or lose the combat discipline that was trained so deeply into him, or suddenly forget about the value of working in/for a group. In fact what did he do? Became a mercenary. HE LITERALLY JOINED ANOTHER ORGANIZED ARMED FORCE.

Like, holy shit. This is why people think that using smite evil on the kingdom's usurper demon vizier should make you fall "Because lol chaotic".

I blame 3.PF for this.

No, you're entirely focused on "he left the army" and attributing a complete ethical collapse on that.

Leaving an organization after going "wait a minute. This chain of command isn't lawful neutral at all! maybe lawful evil, maybe some neutral evil too" isn't a chaotic act.

A lawful PERSON is someone who feels strongly towards having an organized and disciplined life. They have their codes of conduct, their routines, they view working as part of a greater whole to be beneficial.

That doesn't fucking mean the person leaving or whistleblowing a corrupt government is fucking chaotic "because lol that was his lawful". That's not how any of this fucking works.

That gave me a good chuckle. But you completely missed the point still. Look, you keep trying to fit this statement into your existing view of how alignments work, but the entire conversation was about in what ways you change alignments to make them easier or more coherent. So, not only does your insistence that alignments don't work that way mean literally nothing here, you're also hyperfocus on the example and skipping the sentiment that alignments don't really matter.

Now that I've handed you what should have been obvious, can you stop raving? I don't think you took that breather I told you to take last time.
>>
>>51442196
No, it clearly wasn't. I was laughing when it was said that 5e was a first draft. I even went on to spell that out in later posts for the retarded readers, but I guess that wasn't enough for you. I still haven't said a single bad thing about 5e because, as I've said, it's mostly subjective anyways. For the most part I thought I'd I kept insisting that you actually say something meaningful sintead of shitposting about "objectively" and calling everyone retards, you'd realize you had nothing to say and leave.

Technically there'd be more of an alignment shift if he'd stayed after discovering how corrupt it is.

>Oh, turns out that the top is skimming funds, pillaging, abusing its authority... I should get myself promoted! This army is badass!

Your entire insistence that that example illustrates an alignment change brings a shining example of the dangers of inbreeding.

Sorry to intrude on the autism parade, but I've got a real boy question for Pathfinder.

I'm joining a Kingmaker campaign where the DM has said we are allowed to change (3) class features for something else, whether it's a feat for feat or feature for feature regardless of source.

I want to play a Swordlord, what class should I use as a template and what features should I replace, and with what?

I plan to replace Heavy Armor proficiency with Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Dueling Sword), for example.

Why not run one of the 64 page modules? It's more realistic, there's no way you're going to do a whole AP.

To be fair, some other anons suggested gestalting UC Monk with UC Rogue, and I kinda wanted to make armor more appealing to use since they have proficiency in that.

Your argument is like saying "since magic missiles can be used on anyone, anyone can use magic missile and your setting is dumb."

You're still completely missing the point. How is this that hard for you?

Is that a challenge? And eh, hnh. Maybe add their CON mod to the armor bonus? Seems a bit more treading on Barbarian/Fighter's turf, though.

But anyone can get paladin levels, since all you have to do to be good is think you're good. Just thinking you're smart isn't enough to cast wizard spells.

Anyone can cast wizard spells with an above 11 int score, a 50 GP bag, two envelopes stapled together with spellbook scrawled on the front and a level in wizard.

Paladins still need to follow their code.

Most people wouldn't say devoting large chunks of their life in order to fight evil in order to punch people better, especially when you can just be a druid or cleric and be useful OUTSIDE punching people to death.

when 'dedicating your live in order to fight evil' means 'dedicating your life in order to fight literally everyone you think of as evil' then yes that's gonna happen a lot fucking more

The three paladin players who I've had didn't have a problem with it and one even managed a nice character arc pulling in some paladins who were going over the line.

Simply by talking to them during the fight with both good arguments and incidental Diplomacy checks he stayed alive until the enemy paladins' smites stopped working and the two overzealous Paladins broke down and promised to come in quietly to atone.

It works better if your players aren't powergamers assholes who decide they're hardliners just to get +cha to hit and damage bonus.

The real-life Byzantine Empire had a ton of people of every ethnicity, as befitted its role as a central trading point between East and West for a long time.
