Pathfinder General /pfg/

Implausibly impressive cities edition: What are your favorite cities in Golarion? What makes them so cherished or so full of opportunity? Is there a nation in the setting you think "deserves" a single "cool" city so you have a better excuse to adventure there?

Just for the Starstone, but then you learn about all the gangs, the noble families, the traders, the colony of gillmen, the politics, the religions, all the little adventures to be had there.

I don't really like the flag though.

Am I the only one who misses DSP shillposting?
>>
>>51692828
Eh, its to be expected. They aren't currently workin on any major important releases, so its currently not a major focus right now
>>
>>51692817
Well there's the Falconer archetype for the ranger, which nets you a hunting bird companion at first level, though I don't know about its advancement.

My advice would be the Hunter class. It's a hybrid Druid/Ranger that gets teamwork feats to share with its animal companion, and it's solidly Tier 3.
>>
Do you think there'll be a method of using spheres of might with 1pp martials that doesn't involve trading half their feats away?
>>
>>51692865
I was actually meaning the archetype, but I haven't looked into the Hunter yet. Is it that good?
>>
>>51692888
They'll probably add in archetypes or something.

All things considered though, most of the sphere talents are either equivalents to feats, or better, so its not too much of a loss.

Out of all the 1pp Martials, I'd say Fighters are currently most benefited, since they have the feats to spare.
>>
>>51692827

The flag's actually one of the better ones in Pathfinder, it certainly beats Taldor's at least.

Also, don't Steel Dragons live in Absalom? Big ole mansions in a huge metropolis seems right up a Steel's alley.
>>
>>51692895
It's mediocre, which is worse than being bad. It's not good in anything he does as both rangers and druids outshine a hunter. If youu want a hunter just take the beastmaster archetype of ranger which nets you more synergy with the animal and catch up to druid at level 12 for your pet.
>>
>>51692895
Well it's 3/4 BAB as opposed to the Ranger's Full, but with teamwork feats, 6th level spell-casting, a better animal companion, all the nice ranger and druid stuff (and the ability to qualify as both ranger and druid for prereqs), and animal focus which scales really well and gives awesome benefits to boot, it's both good and really fun to play, probably the best of the hybrid classes.
>>

RIP PoW errata. Gareth got super pissy when I brought it up, the lazy fuckwad.
>>
>>51692953
Anon, that's what a hybrid class is supposed to do. If it was as good as either the ranger or the druid then it would supplant that class entirely, but instead it's a playable and moderately powerful mix of the two.

>>51692953
A hunter winds up with "the best" animal companion, though, on top of being a 6th caster who gets the best thing off of a ranger (spell discounts + animal companion) while still having other useful features. It's not better if all you want to do is be a martial for Big Damage, but a ranger isn't particularly amazing at that anyway.

>>51693031
I just rechecked it, and I guess that'll work. Though I'll have to juggle things around and commit to a single weapon.

Still, Style and Form should be enough to let me use a Glaive with Striker abilities. Maybe if I get those human Martial feats I can expand it to the rest of the Polarms. OR i can probably just convince the DM to use Feat Tax rules
>>
>>51693031
Ascetic style needs the weapons to be in the monk group.
Maybe Ascetic Style (Tiger Fork), then Martial Versatility(Ascetic Style), which allows all Spears, Polearms, and Monk weapons to be used with Ascetic Style.
>>
>>51693056

So I'm making someone for the party(swashbuckler, brawler, barbarian, arcanist insofar) and I'm thinking we need a healer. I decided on a druid, and I just have to decide what kind of druid.

We've got that bunny goddess that married Dispater and is only known for having Ragathiel!

That said, do be aware Gnomes can't get pregnant except by other gnomes... Or demons. So her setting Pregnancy to "No" isn't so much "I don't want you cumming inside me" as it is telling the DM she doesn't want to be some demon's breeding bitch.

It's a class that has a cool set of mechanics, but is just poorly put together. I still stand by the claim that Pool Strike should have been a core feature, with a "lesser" version that could be used at no cost. Unfortunately Paizo will never go fix their shit, so suck it up faggot. Spheres will also never just remake the entire class because "mageknight totally does it!" and "the spheres archetype works fine!", even though they aren't.

Aside from that? You're going to be stuck using most spells for what little utility you can squeeze out. Bladed Dash/Storm Step are pretty cool, but Shocking Grasp is so depressingly core it's not even funny. Frostbite/Chill are memes, anything with a Saving Throw that can't be repeatedly applied to a target at little cost is a joke, and your weapon selection is laughable.
>>
>>51694335
I said highly modified. In the same veign for mammals, the mammary glands are also originally highly modified sebacious glands (hence why monotremes secrete milk from a skin patch, rather than a nipple)

A spinnerette is actually composed of dozens of small spigot-shaped glands that each produce a single thread of protein. The spider controls the number and amount each spigot produces, then weaves them into different kinds of strands of varying composition and thickness.

As such spider silk doesn't actually come out in strands, but rather really fine ropes of braided protein strands

Weapon is most important, because in PF with how both initiative and numbers scale up its better to kill the enemy first before they attack you.
Magical items because they can be useful for either in combat boons or out of combat utility, as well as with dealing with different types of problems, or just increasing stats
Nonmagic items are just good sense to have. You will always need rope, chalk, pens, flour, a sack, and often these things can give you a much more economical alternative to some minor magical aid.
Armor is last because, honestly, armor doesn't scale well in this game and just isn't as useful as the other stuff

So my character for Wrath of the Raunchy is one of the thousands of children orphaned during the goblin blood wars and raised in an asmodean orphanage there after.

However I realized that the goblin blood wars take place in 4697. Wrath of the Righteous is set in 4713 AR. That means my character is not very old.

So let's say he has been in was orphaned early in the Goblin Blood war, that would give him 16 years in the Asmodean Church.

So if he was orphaned as an infant that actually makes him too young to be a cleric (17 being the minimum age).

What is a good age for him to have been orphaned? Perhaps set him up alongside several other kids/individuals who were orphaned. The character is also a tiefling, so he wouldn't have been exactly popular as a child.

I considered the following characters to feature in his backstory on the assumption he was orphaned at the age of 5:
>weird homeless man in their community who turned out to be a aged mercenary, saved the young character from goblinoids
>best friend, male human, also followed him into the Asmodean church and became an inquisitor to character's cleric
>possible younger sister who he saved during the goblinblood conflict (grabbed her and was told to run by his parents)

These would be the pre-orphaning individuals important to his life. Then the character is taken into an orphanage ran by The Sisters of the Golden Erinyes.

(1/2)
>>
>>51695265
The idea is that the character proved himself clever and ended up being sent, along with other promising orphans, to more centralized Asmodean churches back in Cheliax for more detailed training. I was thinking of having his sister become a Sister of the Golden Erinyes, but am not yet sure of the idea.

Now the rest of his important NPCs would be his post-orphaned life and be:
>Elderly Asmodean cleric
>Hellknight drill instructor, member of the Order of the Scourge
>2-3 other student besides his best friend who were among the chosen faith militant
>one of them a well to do Chelaxian merchant's son
>the other two relatively poor Chelaxians who entered the church as home grown faithful

Now, between these now 8 back story characters I think my character has enough relevant characters. Now for conflicts. I am thinking since he was trained by a member of the Order of the Scourge having his level 1-3 adventure be chasing after a criminal. Possibly a serial killer plaguing where ever he was being trained, or possibly less sinister than that, but I like serial killers as antagonists. Would hunting down a serial killer with the help of other trainees and his instructor be an adequate level 1-3 mission?

I think as a whole sets him up rather well as entering into Wrath of the Righteous.

Thoughts?

>Why does a cow motif turn you on?
Because the cows are culturally and symbolically linked to qualities of bountifulness and servileness, which when associated with a hot girl wearing their cow-pattern clothes invokes those desirable traits and associates them with the girl wearing the lingerie in question.
Seriously anon, do you even understand how provacative imagry and lingerie even work you uber prude? Its the same way how cat ears are worn by girls to evoke qualities of playfulness and cutesyness, or why countries put animals like eagles and lions on their flags, why Yakuza have tattoos of dragons and demons on their backs, or why even normal clothes will have animal motifs on them.

Its all about metaphor, and trying to evoke qualities and traits culturally associated with the thing in question. Anyone who isn't an autist that's unable to understand metaphor should be able to understand this

>Why does a cow motif turn you on?

Well anon, if you're asking that question we have to consider the connotations of the cow motif, namely that the cow is ubiquitous to the countryside and country girls are famously known to be large-chested and damn proud of it (country fed and all that, hell it's even an old joke in France about the "provincial" girls.) Cows are also calm, placid creatures that are nonetheless quite friendly and excitable when given reason to be, and are known to be huge milk producers.

What this all means is that the cow motif gives us the mental image of a friendly, down-to-earth country girl with huge breasts and obvious enjoyment when they're emphasized or focused on. People like cow motifs because it's associated with large breasts and the opportunity to ogle or fondle them, which most people like because large breasts are great.

>>51696114
Because DHB is pretty autistic. Granted, that's not a bad thing, afterall its because of his autism he's able to constantly make so much content all the time. However, because of it he lacks the basic ability to understand when people aren't actually interested in his work and are instead just spoiling for an internet fight and shiposting. So he keeps thinking their about to make some sort of point for him to understand, or that he can correct them if their wrong, without realizing that he's being led around by the nose.

Basically, the autism the lets him make content is just too prone to backfire in social situations, and the shitposters are aware of that, so they exploit him for (You)s

Thing about dipping a spherecaster is that their casting is added onto your first spherecasting source rather than being tracked seperately.

How would you feel about a class feature that gives you a Su reincarnation ability that, when you can die, you can trigger yourself to reincarnate and influence the d100 outcome by up to twice your CL (meaning at level 20 you could swing up or down by 40). It would be available starting at level 3, but be cheaper than reincarnate. However they have to decide to do it the round after they die, if they wait it doesn't trigger.

It would take an 8 hour ritual to set up so you can't just do it over and over again, but be half costed to reincarnate.

Specifically in the article on the crusades it says military orders, mercenary companies, adventurers, profiteers, religious groups, and everything all bum rush Mendevian when the crusades are called. People at the world wound should be every alignment that isn't CE and all seeking to close it for various reasons. Heck, CE crusaders could be there as well as long as they aren't demon worshippers.

>I don't get Paizo's whole stance that Chaotic Good is somehow inherently MORE good than Lawful Good.

I don't think you get it, anon.

Lawful is the alignment of squares. Lawful is the alignment that leads to the death of independence, the death of freedom, the death of thought. Lawful is Trump passing misogynist bigoted Islamophobic hateful transphobic laws. Lawful is the police officer shooting a black man who tried to run from a crime scene because he knew he'd be arrested. Lawful is mom and dad telling you to go to bed early and not smoke with your friends even though marijuana is healthy and should be LEGAL FUCK YOU.

Chaotic is freedom. Chaotic is the daring youth living life to the fullest. Chaotic is the hero, going outside societal norms to embrace what is truly worth something in this world of drudgery and gray. Chaotic is the artist. The thinker. The dreamer. The one who asks "Why" when the whole world screams at them to submit. Chaotic is righteous rebellion against authority.

You'd think. Law and Chaos both obviously have a ton of problems, but if you take only what's useful from them and focus on being good, that is obviously the most good of the good alignments.

>Wowee, Etsubatsu.
And I would like to point out this is against the actual fucking articles about the crusade.
>The Mendevian Crusaders are less organized than other knightly orders, united primarily by their desire to eliminate the expansion of demons from the Worldwound. Not all of its members are selfless and honorable, but many epitomize true courage. Sheer desperation for able-bodied warriors causes the order to take shining knightly followers of Iomedae as well as lowly glory-seekers, ruffians, profiteers, and other undesirables.
They need every fucking body they can get.

>Because the crusaders are such a diverse group, however, hailing from all over the Inner Sea region, many companies have retained the symbols of their homeland. This means that any crusader stronghold is a riot of colors, with streamers and banners from hundreds of clans, counties, kingdoms, families, and orders competing for room
We never fucking see this. We never see the thousand of orders. What a cool fucking scene it would have been to have the leaders of a hundred different orders shouting in a war parliament.

The fucking crusades are the kind of events that give birth to Hero Kings, hell they talk about people who go there specifically to do this.
>Some even create orders or noble titles out of whole cloth for themselves, hoping to elevate their status within the armies of the crusades, since it is impossible for the heralds of Iomedae to check the authenticity and provenance of every newcomer's claim.
Why couldn't have there been someone trying to establish himself as a hero king in the orders.


>http://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Mendevian_Crusades

I have no problem, ZERO fucking problem with Iomedaen forces being the top of the ladder, but not seeing the crusades portrayed as they are described if a fucking travesty.

I'm aware of the article because I read it as I made the listing for WotRaunchy. Gosh darn. Maybe I'm running with how I've interpreted things in the world, which would be relevant to the game in that case, where in the world is certainly all represented there in one way or another.. it's just also very exhausted group. The crusades have been devastating for anyone on the lines yet easily ignored if you were never in the area.

It's not even worth counting how many people died for the planet at this point, it's generally assumed that when the demons push against the lines, it's a slaughter house. This is the point where you're going to see people pull out and get away with the war torn lives they have left while patting the new kids on the back and saying,"Good luck." Cynical attitudes about their situation isn't uncommon, and it's not as quick to be shot down by the righteously devoted because everyone is so goddamn tired of the fighting, yet they're going to persevere somehow. It's a war of attrition for mind and body with the toll rising even when no one dies. From the outside, it looks like a stalemate. Looking in, you see people exhausted of war against a seemingly unending foe from an infinite plane, and you see demons who feed on this loss. It's a losing battle that's at a snail's pace.

This isn't to say no one cares, but you have to understand after four crusades, people are getting doubtful of when it will all end, those who can't find hope for themselves are slowly bleeding it off because the demons are still there right on the border. And this is where the players will make or break the Crusades whether they wish it or not.

Run it how you please. I'm just saying that as it is written in WotR the crusades are portrayed in an extremely boring light.

>It's not even worth counting how many people died for the planet at this point, it's generally assumed that when the demons push against the lines, it's a slaughter house.

Even more reason for the group to be diverse, because they need fresh bodies.

>Looking in, you see people exhausted of war against a seemingly unending foe from an infinite plane, and you see demons who feed on this loss. It's a losing battle that's at a snail's pace.
Except that WotR turns the snails pace into a slide towards the end. Everything is WotR is about a quickening of events. This also means that powerful indivudals from around the world would pour in as events change. Information in Golarion among anyone with class levels travels quickly and powerful people even quicker because of teleport, alchemical dragons, tree stride, shadow walk, and move. Those of any significant level who want to cross a continent can in little to no time, and certainly would if it looked like the hammer blow was about to fall on either side.

We all know that Papa Asmo has boned Iomedae, and that Iomedae was so bitter about her one night stand that she formed the glorious reclamation.

Also papa asmo is one of the few gods who can make the rough beast claim and mean it, only like 6 actually fought it face up.

>>51697213
Are you implying he hasn't already boned Sarenrae, they have known each other for over 10,000 years. Heck he probably diddled her while she still worked for his brother.
>>
>>51697114
The major reason the Crusades haven't been completely wrecked by infinite demons is that the major cities are protected by artifact-tier magic that completely prevents demons from entering the cities. Anti-demon tech is so prevalent in the game that really the reason the crusades haven't won yet is the literal infinite number of demons and the fact that the Worldwound itself is lethal.

Sarenrae could. She's the only one man enough to have actually fought it, unlike bitch boy Asmodeus who relied on trickery and other sodomitical techniques. Maybe Sarenrae fucked Iomedae.
>>
>>51697114
>>51697208
Also to speak to it. Anyone who is sane knows that it isn't an issue that can be kicked down the road. Once mendevian falls and the world wound is complete Avistan, as a whole, is pretty much over.

The failures of the world wound crusades, if anything should cause more countries sending official support and cause less opportunists to head that way. Basically as things go more desperate actual organized support will head that way rather than individuals.

Because if the World Wound is complete then it'll turn into something similar to The Moon Scar, something most nations are aware of existing.

Exactly!

>>51697288
We know that during the battle with the rough beast Sarenrae survived fighting it while Asmodeus completed the puzzle box to seal him. However we know all the gods fought the Rough Beast at some point.

Also Papa Asmo and Iomedae are former co workers, just like Papa Asmo and Sarenrae are former co workers. I think Papa Asmo just bones his secretaries.

Iomedae never worked with Asmodeus. Your old canon is gone. Read Inner Sea Gods. She is stated as having nothing to do with him, full stop. Not even a polite chat. Now she has always desired the fall of House Thrune. Her new canon priorities are Worldwound, Cheliax, then the World

Anyone know a good place to find a play by post group? Or are in one that could use another player? I've been looking for weeks but nothing seems to fit. Any suggestions would be great, thanks.
>>
>>51697377
I don't know how Iomedae expects to win if she actually comes into direct conflict with Asmodeus. I don't mean his worshipers, but the man himself.

His resume is just a bit too much better than hers:
>Iomedae
Some mortal tart who touched The Starstone.
>Asmodeus
The first of the gods, namer of all things.
>Iomedae
Sent mortal champions to close the World Wound
>Asmodeus
Forged an alliance between the gods and tricked Rovagug, The Rough Beast, the Devourer of Worlds into it where he has been trapped since.
>Iomedae
Cried after Aroden died
>Asmodeus
Commander and victor of The War In Heaven, where he slew his brother in the first act of treachery, The First Betrayal.

Again, Asmodeus is FAR more impressive to look at than Iomedae.

Also I really like the fact that Iomedae is the odd man out among the Godclaw deities, possibly Irori as well. Abadar, Torag, and Asmodeus have worked together in the past. Not only on the same side Twice, as the lawful deities in The Brothers War and in the fight against The Rough Beast, but also on the same project. The puzzle box that Rovagug is trapped in was conceptualized and constructed by the three of them.

Heck, the LG Torag, LN Abadar, and LE Asmodeus are some of the oldest and most powerful gods, and have worked together when the threat requires it.

Iomedae is just being a tantrum throwing toddler among the gods. If Aroden was here he'd slap her shit.
>>
>>51697502
Depends on what the GM throws at them.
>>
>>51697466
The whole point of Iomedae is that Righteous people can make a difference despite overwhelming odds. Asmodeus in all his power and glory will fall before the Hope and Conviction of the Just. His only chance is sincere repentance, which might earn him a swift execution. Even the Fall of Iomedae would just lead to another rising in her stead. Evil will fall.
>>
>>51697502
It really depends on what you mean by that. Are alchemists and investigators casters? How about rangers and paladins? Can a rogue pick minor/major magic?

You're going to be worse off than a party with a 6th caster or two, but you can definitely make it work.
>>
>>51697327
Wait, the CE god of destruction and dragons (Dahak) helped seal up Rovagug alongside not-Bahamut (Apsu)? That's actually pretty cool to know.

>>51697502
Depends

An Iron Caster Fighter, a RAGEPOUNCELANCE Barbarian, a Stygian Slayer, and a healing-focused Paladin /might/ be functional, but have some difficulty.

>>51697502

>>51697502

>>
>>51697502

>>
>>51697518
The best possible scene:
>the warriors of an entire continent marching as a final assault on The World Wound
>Warriors of every alignment, walk of life, color, creed, and ideal forged together into a force stretching from horizon to horizon

>>
>>51697545
It's a facet of CE that isn't discussed very often, but most CE creatures hate other CE creatures. Rovagug was too strong, and Dahak wants to be the one to destroy everything, so he teamed up to delay Rovagug long enough to get his chance.

>>51697541
>tfw when that line about how Asmodeus feels nothing but solitude since his brother tied, and that Sarenrae may be the only deity he can relate to

Also the entire fact that Asmodeus has done much more for the world than Iomedae ever has.

Also Iomedae wouldn't be the first good deity that Asmodeus killed after they took a shot at him, she would actually be the weakest of the bunch.

Also the fact that Asmodeus has been shown to be able to compromise and work towards the world's continued existence rather than its destruction.

Also the fact that Asmodeus helped found a nation where he is worshiped as a LN deity and has LG clerics that he does in fact give spells to.

>>51697647
He only does that because he seeks to rule it. Being a helpful dick doesn't make you less of a dick. He's gotta go for the Good of the people, period.

>>
>>51697673

I mean, Iomedae isn't exactly devoid of her own issues.

Iomedae worshipers do hypocritical evil shit all the time, but she and they get a pass because of the G by her L. When Asmo has a N by his L it's not real though. Gotta be the G and never the E. Because actions don't matter and it doesn't matter if you have a relatively complex portfolio.

The House of Thrune is pretty bad, but they do a lot of good for the world as well. Like killing pirates and keeping the seas clear. The Asmodean church helped end The Goblinblood Wars.

Really the entire Asmodeus issue is complicated because he can quite literally be worshiped by LG people as a deity and get all the benefits.

He is quite literally both a LE and LN deity.

If memory serves, he wants to put her in his eye to make her watch him destroy everything.

And then I think destroy her too?

>>51697830
So excise the other half. Purge the wickedness and we'll talk.

Yup, Rovagug knows the absolute worst thing Shelyn can experience is watching helplessly as all the good in the world is destroyed.

Simple murder is not good enough for Shelyn, he wants to torture her first.
>>
>>51697870
He does exercise it. he is involved in patroning a LN matriarchal nation. That's always what rubbed me the wrong way too was that Asmo was apparently sexist despite being the patron of TWO matriarchal nations.
>>
>>51697833
That's weird, I always figured Rovafug for an anal Fiend. Wouldn't want to create life, after all. That's heretical!

Tips on how to roleplay a Cleric of Lamashtu while still being able to work with the party?

>>51697889
No, I mean excise the Evil. Cut it out. Remove the cancer. Leave the alleged goodly Asmodeus behind.

Also there is the fact that killing Papa Asmo will in all likelihood release Rovagug.

Also the Glorious Reclamation acts CE half the time, destroying LG organizations and killing each other over artifacts that don't below to Iomedae.

There is a theory that Rovagug is the Prime Qlippoth.

Impregnate all of them, and then take responsibility for the kids

Anon... Rovagug's spawning beasts all the ding dong time.

>>51697910

How intense do you want her worship to be, senpai? Because do recall that the vast majority of non-evil Lamashtans worship her purely for the midwifery and fertility aspects - namely, by giving her praise they hope she won't bless their children with deformity or stillbirth.
>>
>>51697917
Not goodly, neutral.

And Iomedae should first stop acting LE and CE and make her worshipers kill each other over artifacts. Also nothing in Hell's Rebels leads me to believe that Iomedae, once she deals with the house of Thrune, will actually keep up anything they do that is important.

Heck, Asmodeus runs most of the orphanages in avistan, they keep the seas relatively safe from pirates, they keep trade open, they have numerous religious orders specifically about sealing fiends, keeping order, and hunting corrupt politicians. Really I'm not seeing your argument has much of a leg to stand on.
>>
>>51697954
I was gonna play him Neutral Evil. Essentially, he see's people as weak and has taken it upon himself to breed out weakness and give way to a new "evolution" in the species. Eventually when he gets old he'll try to find a way to transfer his consciousness into one of his children so he can continue his work making a "pure" bloodline.

They the asmodeus church runs one of the closest things the world has to an international police force.

Why is it that when /pfg/ talks about Asmodeus he doesn't sound evil?
>>
>>51698107

We don't mention the bad, Paizo does a good enough job of that.
>>
>>51698107
Oh he's totally evil, he's just sort of bro-evil, in that he does evil but at the same time he can kind of get away with it because he's cool when he's not enslaving whole races.

>all but one member of the party in my hell's vengeance group dies
>the single member left is doing a better job alone than when all of us were there

>>51698107
Because he's far more Lawful than he is Evil. Tremendously so.

Cheliax is his place. If it goes to shit, he has no place, thus, he takes care of it.

Orphanages? That's kids who were off the street because of him. This results in more living people who are less likely to dislike him.

Asmodeus is Evil, yes. But he's also Lawful, and impossibly intelligent. I believe it was Machiavelli who said that it's better to be feared than loved, but ONLY if you can't have both.

You will fear Asmodeus. But he's going to do at least a little to make you like him as well. Because then you're on his side.

5-6 games simultaneous, with all of them uniting into one mass game for the last installment I feel might work best, and would allow time to separate and focus on one section at a time.

Its because Paizo keeps flipping back and forth between whether they want Asmo to be super evil, just Lawful (which to them is evil), or a tragic figure.

Because of that, he comes across as Comicbook Megatron, and feels like more of an interesting and multifaceted character, as compared to how the schizo writing constantly harms other gods such as Iomedae, Sarenrae, and Ragathiel, or how their lazy and shitty writing leaves other gods as essentially pointless, like Desna, Cayden, and Erastil

On a scale of "I'm cringing in the Andromeda galaxy" to "actually not bad," rate this scenario, /pfg/.

>The party chances upon a juvenile Red Dragon in the woods. It is scarred heavily on its left side, its right horn is healing from a prior break, and its wings look thin, even folded at its sides.

>It does not attack on sight, instead striking its tail against the ground and roaring threateningly.

>A DC 12 Knowledge (Arcana) check reveals that the dragon is male.

>A DC 17 Sense Motive reveals he's bluffing.

>A subsequent DC 18 Knowledge (Arcana) check can reveal that Red Dragons of his age shouldn't have as many scars as this one does and his scales are softer than most, a DC 17 Heal check can reveal that his scars are from recent wounds, and a DC 18 Knowledge (Nature) check reveals that he took the wounds from, of all things, a cow.

>A subsequent DC 20 Knowledge (Arcana) OR Heal check reveals that his wing muscles are underdeveloped, preventing him from actual flight or even fully extending them. Beating DC 23 reveals that the condition must have been a birth defect, because there's no way his wings would look as intact (if flimsy) as they do had they been damaged during life.

>If the party has not yet decided to attack at this point, the dragon begins to back down, thinking they've called his bluff. If they pursue, he flees as quickly as he can toward the nearest body of water and attempts to swim across, preventing the next part. If the party stands still, he only backs away slowly, enabling the next check.

>At this point, a DC 18 Knowledge (Arcana) OR a DC 16 Sense Motive check can reveal that if the dragon could use his kind's breath weapon, he would have already, if maybe as a warning shot.

>The dragon does not normally respond to questions, not even questions posed in Draconic. This changes if the questioner shows signs of draconic heritage themselves, at which point the young dragon stops moving, lowers his head, and prepares to die.

>>51698328
Yeah, which is why it irritates me so much when /pfg/ is all 'papa asmo is super awesome and fucks all the goddesses and the trains run on time in his country' and nothing else.

There's not really any way to interact with it - it just runs or waits for something to kill it - and it's a bunch of rolling to get anything out of it at all.
>>
>>51698691
It's not bad to try for nuance, but they'll probably just murder it to steal its scales and other body parts for magical and crafting purposes.
>>
>>51698107
Because Paizo is so bad at using their established lore that one of the main villains of their settings looks like a decent guy by process of elimination.

And because people like to pretend that they're smart by inverting an established canon. Suddenly the Empire is misunderstood cinnamon buns and the Rebel Alliance is ISIS. Suddenly Sauron is a heartthrob and the Fellowship are literal rapists. You get that shit with every fandom.
>>
>>51698698
Never claimed Papa Amso doesn't do evil stuff. He also just does good stuff. And lawful stuff. And is a fucking depressed character occasionally, and evil, and everything in between. He's complicated and Iomedae is pretty 1 dimensional as someone desperately trying to fill boots too big for her and throwing a tantrum half the time.
>>
>>51698739
Yeah, I wasn't saying you did, just that it seems to be a thing that /pfg/ does on average.

Iomedae is just wasted potential at this point; a paladin dealing with the burdens of godhood and struggling to define what good and law are when she's the biggest authority there is could have been interesting, but that was all thrown away in favor of trumpet tantrums.
>>
>>51698726
True. Maybe have him shout warnings in Draconic which are obviously inflated boasts, giving a player who knows Draconic a bonus on the Sense Motive checks?

As for all of those rolls themselves, I'm not sure what else to do. I don't want to give out everything all at once, but I don't want to give them so little they just kill him and move on.
>>
>>51697769

Isn't he always super pissy?
>>
>>51698691
Trust me bro, if your players are even slightly murderhobo-ey they're going to kill that thing on sight. Unless you've got someone like me who loves Dragons and hates having to fight them in the games I'm playing, every other session I've played in multiple groups has just said "screw it" and treated every dragon they've come across as an immediate threat that they just need to kill so it doesn't get bigger and ravage the countryside like some kind of mindless beast.

Side effect of living in a Western country I suppose, do you think Eastern players treat dragon NPCs with less immediate hostility?
