Why does Paizo hate double weapons so much. I mean they're bad beyond salvaging, so couldn't they at least make some cool martial option so I can run one for flavour without feat expenditure?
>>
>>51672258
You can still use one normally.

Using a double weapon itself doesn't hurt. Just like using two weapons, it only needs the feats if you actually take the extra attacks.

Can you switch off attacks between sides up to your max iteratives per round without penalty?

It's only if you do the actual TWF thing for extra attacks that you take the penalties.

You don't. It doesn't fucking make sense in melee - you should be SHIT at to-hit for having low dex no matter how stupid your raw muscly weight becomes, and if you're not melee you just have very little reason to be dumping Dex anyway. Non-melee classes should always invest in Dex.

Alright, so, imagine this. There's a pair of wizards - a man and a woman. Maybe one of them is specialized in transmutation, maybe they're generalists, I still need to figure out the details. At some point, they're in a relationship. Likely even a strong one, born out of respect for one another's mind's; true love for the ages shit. However, they're also in a support spiral (or whatever you'd call it) for each other; bad ideas, as long as they have some possibility of succeeding, get encouraged by the other one of the pair until they go through with it.

So when they found out that the woman is pregnant, they get it into their heads to give their child the best life possible. They're wizards, so the most important thing to them is that their child is magically potent, so they're working on her intellect when they hit on the idea of also giving her a perfect appearance. Now, this is an imperfect science at best, and they can't properly check their work because the target of their transmutations is still a foetus. this results in a number of physical and mental oddities that come out while their daughter is growing.

Albisnism. Stunted ability to socialize. She'd be aesthetically pleasing, but her body would be riddled with physical and genetic oddities - she might be sterile or have asthma and whatnot, but she certainly looks great. And, of course, her mind is custom built to handle the cheat codes to the universe.

Around the time she's developing into a young woman, she discovers what her parents did to her in development; why she looks and thinks the way she does, unable to properly relate to friends. things get heated; she believes it's a violation, the parents believe they did no wrong. she takes her time to prepare and get away from them and become an adventurer, because she's absolutely pissed, and holds a grudge.

The character arc would be largely about coming to grips with her family and how to deal with them.

Bardiche or Lucerne Hammer?

>>51672434

>"really clumsy"

No, fuck off. 8 is just barely below human average.
>>
>>51673356
And 6 would be borderline unstoppable shaking.

If someone who is 9 has a bad sense of balance, I'd argue 8 is someone being fairly clumsy or awkwardly stiff in movement.
>>
>>51673356
It's 1 above the absolute minimum of human point-buy. The penalty is mechanically small but -2 and +2 are noteworthy enough deviations to be considered good or bad at things among commoners and others who use fixed arrays.
>>
>>51673274
Lucerne Hammer has superior style.
>>
>>51672258
>Why does Paizo hate double weapons so much.
A double sword is just like a regular sword but twice as heavy and far more likely for you to stab yourself with by accident. No real soldiers used them. Why do you assume that it should be mechanically good just because it's in the equipment list?
>>
I'm coming up with a char concept to bring to some local game I've never been to, but am having trouble starting it. The vague concept I'm wanting to do is "abandonment issues: the character". What pops into your head when you hear that phrase? Backstory direction, motivation, class, race, features, all undecided.
>>
>>51673544
>Why do you assume that it should be mechanically good just because it's in the equipment list?
Gee, I wonder what water-balloon hater could be behind this post?
>>
>>51673394
"Fairly clumsy" and "really clumsy" are two different things.
>>
>>51673544
No real man has ever turned into a squirrel, but we keep Baleful Polymorph on the spell list.

The typical assumption in games is that there's a bare minimum attempt to pretend you've tried to balance something.

Also the double sword is silly as fuck and the double axe is probably sillier but history has had several "double weapons" developed and trained for practical use. I'm not saying that double weapons should be good, there're a lot of practical reasons for Pathfinder not to develop on them, but the argument to base fantasy RPG mechanics in reality when no one's bothered with an oversized falcata when other swords were available is ridiculous.
>>
>>51673575
If all equipment choices have parity and all do the same thing, then what is the purpose of having those choices in the first place?

If you want to use an exotic weapon, fine, go ahead. It might even have some particular advantage in a certain limited situation. But it's exotic for a reason, and that reason is almost always because it's worse than the martial options at most things that the martial options are there for. The same goes for other mechanical choices too.
>>
>>51673581
At that point it's just nitpicking.

And 8 is a fair case for "really clumsy" when 7 is the clumsiest an adult can be without it actually being some kind of disorder or disability.
>>
>>51673600
>7 is the clumsiest an adult can be without it actually being some kind of disorder or disability.

It's not, though. The use of arrays is for convenience to speed up NPC creation, not because no NPC can possibly start with an ability score lower than 7 or higher than 15 without some specific explanation. The actual stats range from 3 to 20.
>>
>>51672258
It is the superior choice for two weapon fighting in melee as it gives you a better base dice with still counting as a light off hand, you just need to figure out how to get proficiency in it without blowing a feat.
>>
>>51673555
Gee, I wonder what the psychological motivation for specifically wanting to play a character with a common real world mental disorder might be, before deciding anything else about them.

Something that gets oracle curses or VMC: Oracle, pick for the curse either Accursed or the one about NEVER BREAK YOUR PROMISES.

Build options:
-obsessive grappler
-obsessive member of class with companion
-obsessive focus on a MADE-UP or otherwise self-manufactured companion for maximum loser mode, like summoner or bladebound magus
-obsessively stalkery Ranger, Vigilante or Slayer who follows people using class features

What is the purpose of different feats and builds? Why not just rule that all martial characters do the same damage with each attack and not even bring weaponry into it?

The only conclusion that I can come up with from any of this is that while we can agree that PF is broken, we can't agree on how it's broken, how to fix it, or what the hell we want it to even do in the first place. If there's no consistent agreement on how weapons are supposed to function then we can't make martials good, which means we can't balance the classes, which means we can't address powergaming, which means.... fuck it, maybe we're all better off just making everything into flipping a coin to determine if any given action succeeds or not.

You don't even have an argument here, do you? You can't point out anything that I'm actually wrong about.

You all want options to be more balances. Okay, but balanced HOW? If they're mathematically equivalent so every feat gives +1 to hit or +1 to damage, there's no point in having feats, is there? If all the weapons do the same damage then there's no point in having different weapons. If all the classes have magic use and fighting ability at the same level then there's no point in classes. So how do you intent do balance the game without making things more samey and lowering the number of meaningful choices? Can you come up with any suggestion whatsoever besides "keep things the same as they are now but also make them better in nebulous unspecified ways and also more the same but more different too"?

Since Touhou cannot post at the moment, this is a proxy post from someone else:

I think I have managed to construct what I think is the ultimate low-level unarmed sage, using only a 3rd-level human character and Spheres of Might as the only third-party supplement. This build works best in a game wherein the retraining rules are available, so as to retrain away Extra Combat Talent feats, but the build works just fine even without them.

That said, this build goes to show one of Spheres of Might's main failing points: some of the most optimal builds do nothing but spam the same action ad nauseam. I was under the impression that Spheres of Might aimed to rectify this.

Level: 3rd
Race: Human (heart of the slums)
Class: Sage

Key Ability Scores: Dexterity 16+2, Wisdom 16
Traits: Child of the Streets (social), Empathic Diplomat (regional), possibly Reactionary (combat) if a drawback is taken
Feats: Combat Reflexes (human bonus), Extra Combat Talent, Extra Combat Talent

Combat Talents:
• Equipment: Finesse Fighting (free)
• Open Hand (free, focus is always dedicated to this): Lunging Strikes, Snap Kick, Sweeping Kicks
• Scoundrel: Dirty Mugging, Playing Dirty

Key Equipment: Gloves of Larceny (2,500 gp), Ioun Torch (75 gp)

Attack Bonuses:
• Unarmed Strike: +5 = 1 BAB + 4 Dexterity modifier
• Sleight of Hand Bonus: +18 = 3 ranks + 4 Dexterity modifier + 3 class skill + 1 trait + 2 racial + 5 competence
• Trip Bonus: 7+2d6 = 3 sage level + 4 Dexterity modifier + 2d6 chi gong
>>
What happens on this character's turn? They go up to an enemy and perform a dirty trick combat maneuver. Because of the Scoundrel sphere and chi gong, they roll +18+2d6, and probably blind an enemy for a few rounds. The opponent must spend a standard action to remove the blindness.

Landing the dirty trick triggers Dirty Mugging. They make an attack of opportunity against the foe. The sage's attack bonus is +5, but it will probably hit a blinded target. If the sage hits, they deal 1d6 + 2 + Strength modifier damage, plus 2d6 from chi gong, plus 1 nonlethal from Open Hand.

If this attack hits, Sweeping Kicks triggers. They make a trip attempt, rolling +7+2d6. This will probably succeed, since the target is blinded (penalties to AC apply to CMD).

If the trip attempt is successful, Snap Kick triggers. That is another attack at +5, again dealing 1d6 + 2 + Strength modifier damage, plus 2d6 from chi gong, plus 1 nonlethal from Open Hand.

It is a little luck-dependent, but the payoff is impressive by non-DSP standards: a blinded and prone enemy, along with two reasonably-damaging attacks, all from one standard action.

All of this, by the way, is if the sage opts to not use Stunning Fist. If the sage used that, then the enemy could very well be stunned for a round.

~

What happens on the target's turn? It is screwed. The blindness will take a standard action to clear. Standing from prone as a move action will provoke an attack of opportunity. The enemy could also be stunned from Stunning Fist.

What happens on other enemies' turns? If they are melee-focused and they lack reach, then they will provoke attacks of opportunity from the sage. The sage can trip them with a +7+2d6 bonus, and a successful trip provokes a further attack of opportunity. Woe to them if the sage activates Stunning Fist.

The sage is quite frail against enemies who can attack from 10+ feet away, but Chi Gong and Sage's Riposte can offer some respite.

~

It is a shame how effective such spam is.

>you get mad when different choices give different results
But that's wrong you moron. We get mad when the results aren't equitable. For example, compare the longsword and the flail. The flail only has a x2 crit, but that's a trade-off for the trip and disarm properties. Likewise a shortsword only deals 1d6 damage, but that's a trade-off for being light. These are acceptable, they are balanced against each other and allow for different styles of play.

What is bullshit is something like the greatclub: when compared to the earthbreaker, the only benefit is being 4lb lighter and a handful of coins cheaper, which is not a fair trade for smaller dice and lesser crit power. Comprende?

Hey 2hu, as someone who is incapable of making actual characters without causing everyone around you to consider suicide as an alternative to putting up with you, maybe you're not in a position to actually judge these sorts of things.

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final/weapons/firearms/modern-firearms

>Automatic Weapon Quality: Modern firearms include a new type of firearm—the automatic firearm. A weapon with the automatic weapon quality fires a burst of bullets with a single pull of the trigger, attacking all creatures in a line. This line starts from any corner of your space and extends to the limit of the weapon's range or until it strikes a barrier it cannot penetrate. When an automatic weapon attacks all creatures in a line, it makes a separate attack roll against each creature in the line. Each creature in the line can only be attacked with one bullet from each burst. Each attack roll takes a –2 penalty to account for recoil, and its attack damage cannot be modified by precision damage or damage-increasing feats such as Vital Strike. Effects that grant concealment, such as fog or smoke, or the blur, invisibility, or mirror image spells, do not foil an automatic weapon's line attack. If any of the attack rolls threaten a critical hit, confirm the critical for that attack roll alone. An automatic weapon misfires only if all of the attack rolls made misfire. A single attack with an automatic weapon fires 10 bullets. An automatic weapon cannot fire single bullets that target one creature. When taking a full-attack action with an automatic weapon, you can fire as many bursts in a round as you have attacks.

I can't grasp ammunition economy of automatic weapons from Reign of Winter. So far I see two ways:

1. I can fire as much bullets as there are creatures in my line of fire, but no less than 10, even if there are less than 10 targets

2. I always fire 10 bullets, and attack every creature in my line of fire, even if there are more than 10 targets

Which is correct?
>>
>>51674729
While I wouldn't encourage 2hu's build/play style in an actual game, isn't that the entire point of a playtest? To see how a system works in play, what you can do with it, and especially find any design oversights that the creators didn't intend. Playing it safe and only within the obvious intended limits won't find anything new or help with the design process at all.
>>
>>51674757
You always fire ten bullets, and attack everything in the line of fire out to your weapon's maximum range as long as it can penetrate (you go through if you deal at least one point of damage after DR/Hardness/Resistances)
>>
>>51672425

2hu tried to apply for the SoM playtest game, but managed to piss off the GM into banning him with his typical "Mother May I?" game, even going so far as to ask for action points because Eberron while AT THE SAME TIME complaining that the free feats would skew the playtest.

2hu only knows how to theorycraft. He doesn't know how to make an actual goddamned character to play with others in a TTRPG, as that requires interacting with others.
>>
>>51674826
>>51674850
Yeah, whoops probably should have read the thread first.

I kinda feel like 2hu's personal gameplay style would make him very effective in a playtest, but I can also understand why a GM wouldn't want him in the playtest in the first place.

>>51674850

>>
>>51674961
True, but the sorcerer does get a couple extra spells a day per level, which I think would be really nice mid-fight or over an extended period.
>>
>>51675062
They were playtesting how action points interact with the contest that was being playtested.
>>
>>51675058
>>51675089
I think it is more the implication that was being given by the way the questions were asked, and trying to find anything to completely break the system, switching over to something new every time something was declined.
>>
>>51675105
Which helps the GM make the system watertight and resistant to complete breakage. Without someone like that, flaws are left in the system that enable breakage after the system is finalized.

By excluding 2hu, SoM's designer has ensured that the system will be flawed.
>>
>>51675131
Unless that is not within the context of the test in question, you do not test everything 100% of the time.
Also action points are not 1pp, Hero points are but there are some core differences between the two systems.
>>
>>51675162
Nor is Eberron, but conversion was allowed anyway, therefore the efficiency of conversion should be playtested. There was nothing that 2hu did that was to the detriment of the playtesting.
>>
>>51675174
If you earnestly believe that why don't you run a SoM test game and invite 2hu, report back the findings from it?
>>
>>51675089
No they fucking weren't. The GM allowed someone else to use the Eberron conversion for races, nothing more. But like the antisocial freak he is, 2hu immediately started up another round of "Mother May I?" as soon as he saw a way to squeeze more power out of the rules. If anyone can put up with his bullshit, they have herculean patience.

JUST MAKE A GODDAMNED CHARACTER.

What part of "Mother May I?" did you not understand? 2hu acts like he knows all the answers anyways, so why does he need a playtest?
>>
>>51675131
Ok here is the thing
While it is less with 3pp systems that are mainly bought by enthusiasts who are able to abuse flaws if they are present, it is a losing battle to try to make stuff like this "watertight"

Most of "broken combos" are totally obscure and unknown for majority of dnd hobbyists. Playtesting is more about making sure the system feels intuitive and easy to use rather than obsess over what OP combo you might possibly find. If you fail the first hurdle, the second hurdle hardly matters. While I can appreciate the level of system mastery people like 2hu have, they are not as important as you try to imply.

It's easier to shitpost about fetishes, while topics of substance tend to require a game to go on for a bit to get something interesting.

Depends on the setting.

One local writer has long lived races going through feral or autistic stages as they grow, either being 'trained' into sapience after being barely sapient animalist creatures, or accumulating knowledge via "osmosis", constantly being trained and taught until most of their beginning skills are more instinct than learning.

In both cases children are reared in safe, secret places, away from they eyes of outsiders and slavers.

Speaking of accurate and useful weapon qualities that would encourage people to branch out, what if the Bastard Sword was built to be the perfect Magus weapon?

It's a hand-and-a-half weapon, right? That means you don't have your hand on the blade at all times while swinging it, just at points to add more torque. What if taking Exotic Weapon Proficiency not only allows you to one-hand a Bastard Sword, but treat your other hand as "free" for the purposes of casting spells even while two-handing?

Now a Magus can get 1.5x Str *and* cast in combat!
>>
>>51676658
I think either of those are fine. It's an approach where you think "How might this actually work". But local writer confused me: if XS does straight-up fiction, I want to be reading it.

>Could someone give me the long and short on Sargava?

Sargava is a colonial state founded by Cheliax deep in the Mwangi Expanse that has only recently been granted independence by the Eye of Abendago, a seemingly endless hurricane that forces ships to travel through the Shackles, which is Pirate Central.

As an unfortunate consequence of this freedom (supported by Shackle Pirate Kings who "protect" the state for a price,) Sargava is economically struggling and is constantly on the verge of bankruptcy.

Now, as for Sargava itself? It's an extremely multicultural mix of Chelaxian white settlers living alongside numerous Mwangi tribes that have integrated into Chelish customs with varying degrees of success. For example, there are the Ijo who are quite literally loincloth wearing, tongue-clicking savages, and there are the Kalabuta, who are straight up "Chelaxians who happen to be black."

If you want a quick blurb on Sargava, imagine Brazil smashed into South Africa, sprinkled with Tortuga and spiced with Heart of Darkness.

You are an idiot.

Hey, did you know, if you use a touch attack that lasts rounds per level you can two hand the weapon while still delivering spellstrikes with it?

How about the fact that you can actually use spell combat for something other than spellstrikes?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

This is why you are stupid. Dex weapons are not what magus should use, at all.

Every magus would just use the katana instead for the 18-20 crit range. Plus, you know, it's a katana.

Its a game with my group of friends. I told them about the memes of RotJR, and they thought it'd be cool to try out as well.

After trying to contemplate a character, I was suddenly struck with inspiration from watching game footage of Nioh. I decided to make a Yasuke for Ameiko's Nobunaga, and would also be the one to fieldtest SoM for my group.

Still working on both the build and justification, and after reading about Sargava I'm still unsure whether to stick with it, or go Rahadoum instead for her. Either way I'm making this character as someone who feels she has a life-debt to Ameiko, and has appointed herself as her unofficial bodyguard and protector.

Plus, I think it'll be funny to see all the Tians react in surprise at a tall muscle black woman and have them all wonder "What manner of Oni is THIS!"

I'd absolutely go with Sargava if you want to stick with the Yasuke theme, Rahadoum is far more Algerian than sub-saharan African.

How's this for a justification? Your girl tried to get in good with the Aspis Consortium, which is highly illegal in Sargava, and as a result was sold off to some Pirates to pay off the yearly tribute. She works for a couple years as a pirate wench, and gets rescued by the Chelaxian Navy, who ship her off to Westcrown.

There, you meet Amaya Kaijitsu, and the two of them hit it off! She mentions her sister in Sandpoint and how she longs to meet her, and so you decide to take the trip up to Sandpoint to talk with Ameiko about setting up a time to meet.

I picked Riddleport because it made sense for Varisia. Further, her past is just a vehicle to tell and introduce who she is as a character, and how she appeared here in the adventure. I am okay if she never gets closure with the people who attacked her ship, and she's completely satisfied with the idea of never going back to Sargava or seeing her family again. She's done with that part of her life, and she wants to focus completely o fulfilling her debt to Ameiko, not only because of her life debt but also because she views Ameiko as a close friend.

Sounds like butthurt, not surprising since PF built its foundation on butthurt.

I understand that and can respect it, I'm just saying the change to Ulfen alters nothing in your backstory while offering the DM little nuggets of character interaction for the future.

The Raiders in the /qst/ archive of Suptg. the world-building is mostly in the first four threads. It is not compiled.

More Pillory when the other three stories are done.
