Made the bad decision of posing the question at the end of the last thread, so I'll post it here instead:

What's a good 3rd party adventure path? We've already played (and died on) Way of the Wicked.

What's the best class to gestalt with a low-Cha Barbarian who begins level 1 with a fly speed.

It feels like all my old friends are gone. I remember the times where I was bored or lonely and I would revisit my old character sheets and nostalgia about adventures long past as I read their journal entries.

I really regret duplicating and sorting my sheets then deleting the year old originals.

Here is yet another update to Bloodforge: Infusions: Esoteric Energies:
https://www.sendspace.com/file/rmw8pi

Unfortunately, the email did not mention what, specifically was actually updated.

Of particular note in this document is the new Mixed Blood trait, which replaces the Mixed Blood feat from the original Bloodforge 1. It is now considerably easier to count as just about any type or subtype you desire, while gaining bonuses out of it. This means that you can pick up feats like Altered Life, Unnatural Vitality, Vestigial Wings, and/or Aerial Wings far more easily now.

If you enjoy this product, consider purchasing it on the Dreamscarred Press website:

Why the hell is everyone calling someone who DOESN'T immediately forgive the admin a "troll"?

So now I'm building my character for shattered star.

The plan is quite literally involving a shattered star. He is a Witch/Fighter likely.

The plan is to go Myrmidon Fighter. On the wizard side at level 5 he will head into Stargazer.

Now the part of the back story I am working on is this. He was a student, an astronomer and meteorite hunter. He was extremely interested in sky metals and the like. He at some point in the past was caught in the explosion of a meteorite's impact and lost his right arm/part of the leg/right eye/portion of his flank. The idea is that he found something at the epicenter of the explosion. Either from the meteorite or uncovered by it, that lead him on the path first to the Pathfinder Society and then to Maginmar towards recovering the Shattered Star.

I'm going to be using the Prosthetic rules to replace his limbs and possibly thinking of paying for a regeneration later.

How dumb does this sound?

Also I am considering switching to a different second half, however all the partial initiators seem to be either Charisma or Wisdom based rather than int. Maybe the Polymath instead?

>>51606064
I still have her old sprite, but I was thinking about rerolling anyway. So, this oughta go well enough.

All data from after July of last year was lost.

I am mourning the loss of characters for three current campaigns and one backup character in case one dies that took 3 days to build the first time

>>51606310
Literally everything from up to about 6-7 months ago got nuked due to a cock-up, so everyone that had new sheets between that time and now is gone.

Is Flying Blade any good as a Swashbuckler archetype? If not, is there a better way to ranged swashbuckler?

>>51606430
iirc you got your choices of Flying Blade and Picaroon. You've got your choices between Throwing Weapons or Firearms.

Quick Draw + Blinkback Belt with your choice(s) of daggers/starknives and you're set on Flying Blade. Meanwhile, Firearms are what they are.

I tried doing Flying Blade once, but when we hit level 3 I swapped my character out for a different character (Life Oracle) to suit the party's needs.

Originally, I intended on doing a Flying Blade + Knife Master rogue mix, but never got to finish it.

fatigue immunity from Oracle

>>51606627
If you're going to be a mid-high cha Barb why not just be a Bloodrager?

>>51606627
Pretty much the same. Alchemist | Barbarian is a great gestalt as long as your Int isn't 7.

If you don't like the idea of the combination, you could go with Oracle for fatigue immunity with the Lame curse so you can Rage cycle efficiently at level 5

>>51606626
Invulnerable Rager is good, but it got nerfed slightly recently thanks to FAQ. Armored Hulk is also a favorite of mine. Savage Technologist and Urban Barbarian are also used pretty often for certain builds.

>>51606683
>Invulnerable Rager is good, but it got nerfed slightly recently thanks to FAQ

What changed?

>>51606699
It is no longer compatible with the Increased Damage Reduction Rage Power, so you can't stack your DR/- as well as before.

It's probably still the best Barb archetype with Stalwart and Come And Get Me synergy, but it's slightly less best than it was before

>>51606699
The resident dev team soothsayer decreed that Invulnerable Rager is no longer allowed to take the Damage Reduction rage power, despite said power being on the list of recommended rage powers for the archetype.

>>51606682
I'm not super familiar with Alchemist as a class since I've played more 3.5 and dropped off around the time Pathfinder became the biggest game in town. But if you're willing to bear with answering a few questions:

What are the main combat-relevant class features and mechanics for Alchemists?

Which of their abilities have good synergy with Barbarians?

Do they have any super cool utility abilities besides brewing potions?

>>51606822
The guy on the left seems like a cool dude and the guy on the right seems like he wouldn't be a very sensitive lover.

>What are the main combat-relevant class features and mechanics for Alchemists?
Mutagen

>Which of their abilities have good synergy with Barbarians?
Mutagen

>Do they have any super cool utility abilities besides brewing potions?
Mutagen

Would you allow a Rakshasa Tiefling for Fienidish Sorcery to Apply for a Rakshasa Bloodline Sorcerer?

>>51606822
>What are the main combat-relevant class features and mechanics for Alchemists?
Basically all of them, but for this gestalt, you will want to focus on the Mutagen, since it gives a +4 to Str that stacks with pretty much every other possible bonus to Str, and can scale with Discoveries

>Which of their abilities have good synergy with Barbarians?
Mostly just mutagen, but that's all you really need

>Do they have any super cool utility abilities besides brewing potions?
The Vivisectionist Archetype gives them sneak attack instead of bombs, and since bombs are not good unless you invest heavily into Int, there is no real reason not to take this archetype.

>>51606773
Pinned supersedes grappling, it is a direct upgrade.
Pinned and Prone stack in terms of disadvantages.
>>51606775
They allow you to pick up a dropped weapon as a minor action.

>>51606612
Holy shit the incompetence.

>pic

She looks uncomfortable. I don't blame her, that outfit has got to be all kinds of impractical and those two nearly-naked men are /not/ helping by using her horns as armrests. I mean, that's just rude.

>>51606064
A'ight /pfg/, this is probably a dumb question, but is there any way to "draw aggro," so to speak, besides the Compel Hostility spell?

>>51606910 (me)
Also sneak attack isn't really utility, but it is a relevant thing to add on to the character.

Basically the Alchemist can do anything the Rogue can do, but it is generally more competent than the Rogue.

>>51606897
Sure. I personally think it was a stupid thing that they don't automatically count for that, same as Dhampir with the Undead bloodline.

>>51606930
>A'ight /pfg/, this is probably a dumb question, but is there any way to "draw aggro," so to speak, besides the Compel Hostility spell?
Is 3pp allowed here? If so, the Warder's Armiger's Mark imposes on whoever you hit a penalty on attack rolls and forces concentration checks on spells against any target that isn't you.

>>51606940
Makes sense to me.

>>51606930
You mean is there any way to force enemies to confront you in order to fulfill the whole "tank/frontliner" appeal?
No, not really, outside the Warden's Armiger Mark and a handful of maneuvers.

>>51606930
There might be something in PoW, but aside from that not really unless you want to issue challenges like a Samurai.

>>51606822
Soo to give you more then this guy >>51606861

The alchemist has a few different ways to fight depending on the archetype but because you're going Barb go with Vivisectionist. It trades out bombs for Sneak Attack.

The other big thing next to mutagen is discoveries. Which can get you Wings, which you might want so you can Pounce flying creatures.

Hope this helped.

>>51606958
>>51606972
>>51606976
I'll check specifically with the GM, since I'm not sure how much of PoW is allowed. Thanks!

So it's a straight buff and most of the discoveries are body horror buffs that work well with a barbarian? I notice vestigial arms can be used to wield weapons. Can you use it to duel-wield two two-handed weapons?

>>51606979
I'm actually playing a Strix, so I'm starting with a fly speed. But thanks!

As a sorceror, can you remove a bloodline granted spell on an even (4 or above) level up?

If you could, the penalties would be enormous.

>>51607051
Damn, makes me glad I didn't stumble on Myth until the RotJR games popped up.

And don't say they suck! I'm sure they're great!

>>51607090
Should it be though? You are technically using two hands on each weapon.

>>51607045
They can still be identified via knowledge/spellcraft, still require concentration checks if threatened, struck, etc.

>>51607045
Standard Action, sorry.

Well.. Shizuka is mostly back

>>51607105
So, if you use them for two-weapon fighting you will eat penalties. IF you're GM is nice an lets you take multiweapon fighting then the penalty is only -4/-4.

If you're using Two-Weapon Fighting it's still -4 /-4 and you'll have to deal with the stupid virtual handedness FAQ

I forgot this started with a request for a barb that could fly at 1st lv. Woops.

So other possible useful discoveries for this character things like Spontaneous Healing, which gives you a pseudo fast healing ability.

>twfing great swords.
You Could, bit the penalties would be pretty high.

>>51607164
What kind of Vigilante do you want to be? There's a lot of archetypes and options, so it depends on the idea you want to run with.

>>51607164
What archetypes do you have on Vigilante?

Player of mine decided to make a racist character, and rolled randomly a few races he hates. Ended up with Dwarves, Drow, and Gnomes. He was deciding on some slurs for them.

When we got to it he ended up not telling me till calling one that. He met a dwarf and later confided in another NPC that "he wouldn't work alongside a dwigger".

As I GM I saw half the players were offended, half thought it was funny, at that moment I couldn't help but burst out laughing. For some reason it was just how he said it, it ended up hilarious to me.

>>51607342
You're almost always better off choosing a school unless you want to be a crafter then choose the arcane builder subschool.

I'm reading a huge debate on the Paizo forums about whether or not PrC (with caster levels) progress certain spell relevant features, such as learning new spells or advancing wizard school powers as wizards, gaining bloodline spells as sorcerer and similar stuff.

What's your take on this?

So how good is the human paladin's FCB?

>>51607363
To me this is particularly interesting because some school powers explicitly reference caster levels and others do wizard levels, where it makes me wonder whether this is an oversight.

I'm playing a Pathwalker psychic warrior in a future game (mostly because it looks like an utter clusterfuck). Any advice?

>>51607320
Tell the guy to be a little more creative with his slurs if he is going to make shit up.
He went LCD there, I'd expect better.
>>51607363
Generally, prcs will bring spell levels, which bring the new spells, but not class features relating to spells, such as bloodline spells.

>>51607363
The rules are pretty damn explicit about all of that, so there should be no debate in the first place. You don't gain any class abilities like bloodline or school powers unless the PrC explicitly states that it advance those. You do gain spells known if that's part of the level progression, but you do not learn new spells if you're a wizard or other prepared caster unless you know your entire list by default.

>>51607363
My opinion would be no, it does not unless specified in the PrC itself but it wouldn't surprise me if some abilities were in fact worded to allow it.

>>51607363
This is my take:
>you get new spells known if a spontaneous
>you add new spells to your spell book /familiar/etc. if prepared
>advanced your CL
>gives you access to new spell levels (at appropriate for what ever classes spellcasting it is advancing)
Nothing besides these unless the PrC calls them out. Bloodline/mystery/domain spells are class features.

>>51607395
>you add new spells to your spell book /familiar/etc. if prepared
FAQ explicitly says that you don't.

How would you rule a completely incontinent character?

>51607410
Yeah, that's probably not happening at my table.

>>51607407
I know. I have them get added because I think them not being added is silly.

Particularly for witches who need to find other witches to add spells to their familiar.

>>51607426
Sorry, either find another witch or teach the familiar from a scroll.

Witches are fucked over enormously when trying to take a PrC because for them adding spells relies on finding other witches or spending a fuck ton on consumables rather than the relatively cheap costs to look at a wizard's/alchemists/magus/arcanist/investigator spell/formulae book.

>>51607426
Actually witches can use scrolls to add them as well, although that uses up the scroll.

Also, wizards have next to no class features anyway, so it's only fair that they lose SOMETHING going into PrC. Acquiring new spells shouldn't be too hard anyway.

How do you figure? You'd think something so obvious would be addressed somewhere.

>>51607445
For a witch? It requires either purchasing scrolls or finding other witches.

There are a lot more classes that make use of spell books and similar than familiars for storing spells. As well there is no by the book cost for how much witches charge for letting you commune with their familiar to get new spells.

Witches are punished for trying to PrC for a number of reasons, the fact that gaining new spells fucks them over a good deal more than wizards is only one. The fact their hexes effects and DCs are often level dependent is another.

>>51606646
By the looks of it he's going hard-in on shit to make sure this doesn't happen again too.

>>51607384
The arguments as I've read them is that bloodlines are inherent to how a sorcerer casts spells and that wouldn't change because of an PrC.

>>51607392
Compare a wizard then. Does he still maintain the additional school slot and give up two slots for opposition power? Wouldn't that be a school power? Also, why would a conjurer suddenly stop being a conjurer? Why are some school powers tied to caster levels and others to wizard levels?

>>51607395
>>51607407
There's that then.

>>51607463
Yes, but by taking levels in PRC they are no longer developing a method of magic focused on their bloodline, just using it as a base.

>>51607453
This is why when I kill witches in game my witch threatens their familiar often. Familiars don't suddenly stop being familiars/lose their spells.

Also this is one of the reasons witches are incentivized to group up and form covens. Unlike wizards there is no cost to add a spell from one familiar to another. Forming a coven means every member of that coven effectively doubles their spells known.

>>51607454
Pinning is not prone, but you can apply the prone status with a grapple check.

>>51607454
It is directly stated. Pinned is a more extreme version of Grappled, like Frightened is to Shaken.

Also, there's no reason for Prone to NOT stack. They're entirely separate effects. You take the prone penalties. One of them is an AC penalty vs melee. Ergo, if you're prone, it's easier to be grappled.

>>51607472
You can't, actually. You need Trip for that.

>>51607468
Why wouldn't they? I mean, their magic is literally tied to their bloodline.

>>51607470
In a Kingmake game in which did I play a witch had the chance to use the coven hex thanks to having a changeling and a multiclass witch/investigator in the party.
Shit was overpowered.

Tho i replaced psyker field with gear slots, cos fuck psykers in fantasy.

>>51607496
Because it still requires training and control. Taking levels in sorcerer representing refining and strengthening ones control. If you take levels in a PrC you are neglecting that for the PrC. I don't care as well your "fluff" reason. By rules you don't get it.

>>51607496
Until they branch out and develop magical ability besides their bloodlines abilities.

The actual answer is because that's how the rules say things work.

>>51607496
Because it's a different set of skills that causes aspects of your bloodline to fall by the wayside.

You're now progressing general magic ability, not "grand-daddy fucked a dragon" magic ability.

>>51607501
>Tho i replaced psyker field with gear slots, cos fuck psykers in fantasy.

best wizard opposition schools?

>>51607539
If he did he'd probably lost six months of characters so he's probably not too bothered.

>>51607533
Because it's a "wizard" school not a "bloatmage" school. You stop training at it to do something else. You're no longer working towards the end game of your wizard school, instead what ever the PrC does.

>>51607541
Depends on what you're going for.

Evocation and Enchantment probably.

>>51607533
>Why wouldn't a conjurers acid dart not increase in damage at a higher caster level?
Because they've chosen to cultivate a different manner of magical ability,

And, because that's how the rules say things work

>>51607547
But some Wizard schools tie their ability powers to CL. Is that meant to balance for their inherent weakness?

>>51607541
The worst are conjugation, transmutation and divination. The best depend on what you're going for. Illusion and necromancy are on the safe side.

>>51607556
I was about to say "nigga what" and then saw opposition.

>>51607553
What school powers call out CL rather than wizard level? If it calls out CL then it advances with your CL. I don't fucking understand what about this is complicated for you.

>>51607565
>>51607553
I assume it's confusing since most people don't multi-class so those things will usually be synonymous with each other.

How's this feat idea:

You gain synergist witch features

But anon, that IS a frilly dress.

Or, well, it was one until you stole her skirt. It's still frilly.

What are good class choices that gestalt well with a sleep-based Witch?

>>51608110
Nothing really.

You don't really benefit that much from gestalt as a caster. It only really helps melee types. I guess rogue if you want more skills.

>>51608110

Unarmed Magus, or a hypothetical Int Monk

>>51608110
Ranger so you have three good saves? Maybe. Focus on improving your HD, defenses, and skill ranks.

>>51608143
I disagree. It's more that casters already have everything they could possibly want, so all they can improve is their defenses and shore up their weaknesses while a Martial could depend on it to even be viable.

It definitely depends on your playstyle. I'm fine with giving up Enchantment altogether and only using Necromancy when necessary - but I'd rather have Divination as an opposition school than Evocation. Evoc has some really nice battlefield-control abilities, and I don't often end up using much in the way of divinations besides the cantrips Detect Magic and Read Magic.

How cancerous are duo apps? Trio apps?

Isn't it all about sucking off one or two other players and ignoring everyone else?

>>51608232
>Thanks guys; I didn't realize that casters don't gestalt too well with anyone else.

They do, don't listen to that idiot. It's just that if you gestalt martial with caster, the martial gains huge increase in versatility and power. With caster, you run into action economy issues and you're ALREADY a caster, so adding more abilities to the mix can only increase your versatility so far. If you start from tier 5, you can easily go to tier 4 with just another tier 5, and gestalting with tier 3 means you're AT LEAST t3 to start with, even discarding any benefits from the other side. If you start from tier 1, it's not as if you can go to tier 0 outside some TO tricks that most likely don't require gestalt in the first place.

None of that means that casters don't "gestalt well", they just don't gain much raw power from the deal because they already have that in spades. You still get plenty of benefits in form of higher HD, better BAB, better saves, extra abilities like flight you'd otherwise have to reserve spell slots/spells known for, or even cognatogen for higher save DCs.

>>51608478
I want to murder you

>>51608478
I see it as pretty bad form to try and pressure the GM into choosing specific players, even through something like a duo app or the suggestion of who you'd prefer to play with.

Because then if they like one person's application, they feel obligated to choose either both them and their friend or neither. That could end up locking out people who are better players or who made better characters.

People intending to take a primary caster roll, do not benefit from gestalt outside of a few extra +1's.

Except for spells that require an attack roll.
>saves aren't a huge deal
Until they are, and at some point they will be. You won't always be able to avoid them, and you don't want to get fucked over when you suddenly have to roll a Fort save.

>>51608523
>Better Bab
While not of great import, receiving full bab means that ranged touch spells suddenly become viable (again not a big deal) without needing to invest in an otherwise worthless (at least to a caster) ability score like dexterity.
>Better Saves
Have you ever been to a high level game where enemies start gaining access to save or die spells that target your bad save? Yeah, I remember desperately stacking con items and fort boosters just so I can guarantee surviving wail of the banshee 60% of the time. Now imagine when it suddenly becomes 70 or maybe even 80% now that fort suddenly became a good save.
>Flight
Harbingers come to mind

>>51608664
I distinctly remember starting with like 14~16 con and having the highest con score in the party close to the end of the game and still only saving against fort save or die on a roll of 10 or better.

>>51608664
Eh, dexterity gives initiative, so it's never WORTHLESS to a caster

>>51608670
10 or better is more than half, so you were pretty gangsta

If the party warpriestess constantly belittles your character's javelin-tossing abilities, does that mean she wants the dick?

>>51608712
There are other ways to get init boosters other than investing in like 14 dex for a paltry +2 and then a dex belt which could have gone to your fort save.

>>51608720
I'd rather not deal with the tense situations where I know I'm fucked if I fumble. Normally my goal is saving on a 6 or if I can pull it off, on a 4.

>>51608739
Depends on how she's phrasing it. She most likely *needs* some Vitamin D, but might or might not be hinting at you giving it to her.

>>51608749
Where do you put your DEX points, then? Way I see it, I got casting stat points, and then two lumps of other points that I always drop in DEX and CON.

>>51608781
Assuming 20 pb
When I go wizard and go diviner I get something like:
str 7
dex 10
con 16
int 18+2
wis 11
cha 7

And when I go sorcerer and get noble scion I get
str 7
dex 10
con 14
int 12
wis 10
cha 18+2

Sometimes on a whim or if there are extra points I get 12 dex but it very rarely becomes a thing.

>>51608776
She's always laughing at my dude's performance, telling him he needs to stop trying, and now she's taken to shoving him around in combat to move into position. In our last engagement she shoved him up against a wall for a round or two before stepping past and murdering some local fauna.

>>51608831
And that works out? You don't feel like a No-DEX bitchboy (or bitchgirl?)

>>51608836
Yep, who gives a shit about +2 AC at level one or +2 to crossbow attacks. I just use tactics and coordinate with my party until I get out of rusty level shanktown and it becomes a long forgotten problem.

>>51608836
At late levels the dex would have been just a +1~+3 AC/Fort/Ranged attack meanwhile the 16 con would be a fat stack of hit points.

If I'm playing a Bloodrager that's grabbing beast totem over dragon, what's the best way for me to get fly speed?

3P is allowed though it has to be run by the DM first so try to stick to 1, I would like to not rely on the party casters and no leadership.

Bloodraged is Destined, playing a chosen one-type character so main theme is luck but party is pretty high tier so I don't think I can give up pounce. I will though if I can't get flight any other way.

>>51608862
>>51608851
I guess that makes sense. Just gotta be more careful until later

What if Wisdom determined initiative and charisma determined will saves?

>>51608927

Multiclass Inquisitor/Mesmerist.

>>51608986
I'm going to look into that but I just realized that Fly is on the Bloodrager spell list

I feel so intelligent right now.

Thanks for the suggestions though anon, some sort of Jade Dragon theme might be cool so I might still end up using them so I don't have to rely on Fly for rage or just straight up casting.

>Polymorph any Object
This gives me ungodly ammounts of utility, and I can probably even permemently stay in a better/different form, but it requires a lot of bookkeeping and effort to make it work well. There is a reason I am playing a sorcerer and not a wizard.
>Maze
Single target no save you lose. This would be an incredibly powerfull ace-in-the-hole, but I already have a lot of save or lose spells, and this one just seems like it would make the DM frustrated and make fights boring.
>Protection from spells
Very defensive, and almost no way arround it. The bookkeeping issue is back though.
>Clone
Now TPKs are a temporary problem that I can solve in a day or two.
>Mind Blank
Super defensive, and this can block most of the bullshit that a high level caster could throw at us, plus I could put it on the whole party.

What should I pick?

>>51611039
High level casters with a reasonably built spell list.

>>51611039

Very dependent on DM approval for this to work since the spell is deliberately written without concrete details.

>Maze
Get an Otherworldly Kimono instead.

>Protection from Spells
Might not be bad, depends on how your party's saves are in general and what you're fighting.

>Clone
You're also one TPK from your DM sending a hit squad to destroy your clone vats. If you think your DM isn't going to do that then it's probably fine. Just make sure you have a way to retrieve your gear too.

They are just the ones that stood out. I'm trying to build a spell list for this character after my previous character sacrificed his soul.

Okay, the last time I asked I didn't give a lot of details, so I'm going to ask again but give more details in hopes that someone can give me advice.

I'm going to be playing a Pathwalker Psychic Warrior in a game in a near future and I'd like some general advice. I'm wanting to go sleeping goddess as my primary path and I'd like to focus on natural attacks (claws of the beast, bite of the wolf, etc). The GM will pretty much allow anything Paizo prints and is okay with both Path of War and Psionics from Dreamscarred Press. Other third party is theoretically possible but he has to approve it first (and quite frankly, I'm on thin ice with the clusterfuck of 3pp I am at the moment so I'd rather not push farther).

A big issue I'm noticing right now is lack of PP, sleeping goddess will help but other than that is there any way I can boost that other than playing a psionic race? (I would normally go half-giant for more damage and being naturally psionic, however I may go human for the extra feats and skill).

Thoughts?

You can take the Psionic Talent feat for +2 pp. Or if you play as a psionic race they all get it for freesies.

>>51611996
Still hammering out the details, but from what I can tell it will be hard to balance the psionics side and weaboo magic side. I'm debating the value of a few different things:

* Psionic focus (being able to refocus quicker and maintain a second focus seems like it would be a huge help)

* Powers/Maneuvers known (will be kind of scanty on both, but my limited PP pool and maneuvers readied might make that fruitless)

* Initiative (this group always cheeses initiative and it's gotten to the point where you might not even get to have a turn if you're not rocking +8 or higher)

* Various other bits and bobs (irks me that natural weapons aren't considered sleeping goddess weapons right out of the box, sleeping goddess style looks good but the rest of the chain looks kind of scrubby, would like to address PP reservoir, etc)

* I'm taking overchannel for the hour/level buffs, trying to determine if Talented is worth it. On one hand that's half my powers, on the other hand I would have actually taken that damage four in-game hours ago.

Fellow GMs, let's talk some shop!

What are som of your favorite tricks of the trade? Any tips for newbies you can share? Techniques to share with vets?

Which 3PP make good spells? I'm making an oracle and want to focus on illusion magic, but their spell list is total shit for that school. My DM is willing to look over and possibly allow any 3PP material so I thought that I might try seeing if there are some good 3PP illusion spells out there.

IMPROVISE

IMPROVISE

IMPROVISE

Any plan you make, the PCs WILL fuck it in the ass with a razor dildo and ruin it.

Any encounters you carefully design with methodical planning and execution the PCs WILL just YOLOSWAGGINS through it without a care in the world.

Be prepared to be surprised by your PCs, both by how inventive they can be, and how perceptive they can be.

>>51612584
>>51612729

Improvisation is a good skill to have, but that does not mean that you should not make plans.

It's important to have a guideline of things to come, so that you can more easily build off of that, but you must be able to improvise when things take an unexpected turn.

>>51612584
I've only ever used this once, but Confabulation Powder is completely busted as a DM. You can literally generate entire campaigns using it as an ultimate fuck you if you want your entire party to hate your guts.

>>51612100
Keep Advanced Study for high levels so you can grab extra fifth or sixth level maneuvers. It's better than the power known one because it gives two maneuvers. It will also give you two PP if both manuevers are SG.

I would say focus on Psionic Focus and Intiative. SG style is perfectly skippable. Grab Weapon Group Adaptation early if you'e going to focus on maneuvers with DCs, which a lot of SG strikes do.

I would agree that Half Giant is the better race option. For the secondary path I suggest Primal Fury. The trance plus Running Hunter Stance give a lot of mobility/utility and Frenzy Strike or Cornered Frenzy Strike are great for natural weapon builds.

If you have a healer, buy a wand of CLW and skip Talented.

So I'm trying to make a Herald Caller Cleric, either of Cthulhu, or something similar.

I have a few questions. First, Herald Caller makes reference to "creatures particularly appropriate to her deity. This includes all creatures listed as summon monster options for priests of her deity."

Thing is, I wanted to take the dark tapestry Void subdomain, but from what I can see, no deity but cthulhu has the Void domain, not even Dagon. Since the Monster Summoner's handbook lists specific gods, am I SOL? Should I confer with my DM? Or is there perhaps a god I'm missing?

And, finally, what would be a good character motivation that wouldn't clash with the average party? I want to be CN, but I don't want to be committed to "sowing madness wherever I go" even though that seems natural. Maybe something like "to go to space" or "to enter the dimension of dreams", but I'm halfway through doing the Skulls and Shackles adventure (indeed this concept was originally for that, but I'm doing another character) and an NPC managed to create an Immortal Dreamstone by level 10, so that may not be viable in the long term.

>>51612584
I like to "practice" playing the role of new NPCs by running non-canon scenes in my head of them interacting with PCs I've played as in the past. I feel like the best way to get a really good feel for an NPC's personality, beliefs, and mannerisms is to play them interacting with characters I know well, and my past PCs are the characters I know best. Sometimes I use other established NPCs, but I always use non-canon scenarios for the meeting/conversation to happen and try to stick to scenes where the characters are meeting for the first time or otherwise getting to know each other.

Also, I have a method for getting into character when the time comes to act out their part in the game, and it's a little silly but I've found it works very well for me. I associate each NPC with some kind of hand motion, and to "get into character" I repeatedly make that hand motion while saying their name out loud, in that character's voice. The hand motion is one that's evocative of the posture they hold themselves with and where the voice is coming from. My players find it hilarious, but I find it helpful. It makes it easier for me to nail the character's voice and keep it consistent across appearances, and also helps me mentally shift gears.

Obviously, though, it doesn't work so well for scenes that involve several NPCs talking to each other. It's more for scenes where one NPC features prominently, like the BBEG confronting the party.

I've learned that a straight up brawl isn't always the most interesting.

Put in some unusual terrain. Multiple teams besides the party and the badguys. Hostage. Try putting a spin on every other encounter.

Also have a few plug and play encounters. Great for when you need to wing it.

One classic but horrifically underused terrain feature is balconies. A balcony overlooking a room is an incredible place for things like archers, spellcasters, and other ranged nasties that wouldn't have access to flight. Even at low levels, it provides an impressive tactical challenge for the party without being insurmountable, and lets that one asshole who picked Climb show off.

Also, Chest high walls. Weird that we can take cues from videogames, but recently the wizard in my party did downtime stuff to figure out a spell to create chest high walls to give the ranged folks in the team on-demand cover. It's a bit of a meme in my group, but it works.

So, pfg, a thing I just noticed.

>At 3rd level, an antipaladin radiates a palpably daunting aura that causes all enemies within 10 feet to take a –4 penalty on saving throws against fear effects. Creatures that are normally immune to fear lose that immunity while within 10 feet of an antipaladin with this ability. This ability functions only while the antipaladin remains conscious, not if he is unconscious or dead.

>Creatures that are normally immune to fear lose that immunity while within 10 feet of an antipaladin with this ability.

An Antipaladin removes fear immunity from themselves and their allies.

>Be prepared to be surprised by your PCs, both by how inventive they can be, and how perceptive they can be.
Yeah trying to murderhobo a CR 19 who explicitly tells them she can PWK their asses in one round as a party of level 4s sure shows their perceptiveness
God I hate murderhobos

>>51613063
A balcony that provide cover with a skeletor archer overlooking the rest of the encounter is a pretty good way to let the rogue of the party show off.

Maybe because of your shit fucking voting rules you spineless cunt. No one wants to invest into a character with asking about a ton of shit beforehand, because asking about it afterwards and getting voted "no" is goddamn stupid.

>>51613229

I'd probably rule it doesn't remove the Antipaladin's fear immunity because doesn't make any sense. Allies though, sure.

If the second sentence is only tacking onto the first that'd be right, but the second sentence can exist independent of the first. He can remove fear immunity from everyone but only apply the actual penalty to enemies.

Just one familiar with regular scaling, by RAW. If I were your DM I'd either discourage you from pursuing this path or attempt to homebrew a solution so that you don't lose out on so much, but that solution would most likely involve alternative benefits/features rather than giving you more than one familiar or a single super-familiar.

>gestalt
I'm ok senpai thanks

>>51613592
But DHB only uses a trip to talk about homebrew. Literally for its purpose.

>>51613794
>The Terrible Peace (Su): Eiremians can force their stillness onto others, devouring their intent and leaving them with an awful, dizzying serenity. As an immediate action, an eiremian force an opponent taking an action (other than a free action, such as talking or drawing ammunition) within close range (25 feet + 5 feet per 2 character levels) to halt. That opponent must succeed at a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the eiremian’s character level + the eiremian’s Wisdom modifier) or stop their action. The opponent does not move, fails to cast their spell, does not use their item, and so on. The attempted action simply does not happen; any resources that would have been used during the action, such as spell slots, maneuvers, or item charges, are not used, although the action it would have taken is still spent. If this ability is used to stop a full-round action, the target is considered to have spent a standard action, and can continue their turn as normal. They cannot attempt to repeat the action until their next turn, however. After using this ability, an eiremian must wait one minute before doing so again.
Or the alternative:
>Aura of Calm (Su): An eiremian can project her serenity, dampening strong emotions around herself. Up to three times per day, as a standard action, she can calm a number of creatures equal to 1 + 1 per four character levels she possesses that she can see within 60 feet. Each of those creatures must succeed at a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the eiremian's character level + the eiremian's Wisdom modifier) or have their attitude towards the eiremian shifted one step towards indifferent (from hostile to unfriendly, for example). Any morale bonuses, fear effects, confusion effects, and emotion effects affecting a creature that fails its save are suppressed for one minute. This effect is not, itself, an emotion effect. This racial trait replaces empty serenity and the terrible peace.

>>51613839
Jesus Christ. What level do you get this at?

>>51613749
No. I am a referee and my sole purpose is that all the players have fun in a game that is not competitive per se but a collective interactive narration.
There is no room for a leader in this unless you are playing with kids from dysfunctional households that do really need a figure of authority.
One should be mature enough to openly discuss with the other parties involved what they want and not and if there is a conflict discuss it for achieve a common ground.

>>51613353
There's a difference between having no spine, and denying shit to reduce bloat. You've also failed to follow your own rules, letting DHB post his own homebrew and then having everyone vote on it.

>>51613885
Level 1. It's a racial trait.
