Pathfinder General /pfg/
Decent starting image edition!

What's your favorite 3pp/homebrew for a draconic race? Like "quarter-dragons."
Believe it or not, Paizo still isn't offering something for that. Why are they afraid to?

>What's your favorite 3pp/homebrew for a draconic race?
The way I used to run it was that every sorcerer eventually had a dragon in their family tree. With the way bloodlines have come around I've had to put a lot of thought into changing that for my homebrew setting, or adding a metric fuck ton of other types of dragons to explain all the various bloodlines that are popping up.

Still putting it off to be honest, luckily none of my players have wanted to be a sorcerer lately.
>>
>>51791971
Not at all. It would be another thing they just don't use due to fiat to keep the setting static, like all the magic that should already obviate the need for a railway at all.

Not particularly.

In a setting with proven gods and afterlives where you lose your memories and self 90% of the time, why not try to join up with the near-god creatures who you can still kind of understand on a mortal level that will keep you coming back again and again?
There are several eldest, so you can find one that fits your personal outlook. They offer one hell of a health insurance plan, give you back up, and help you travel. Most of the arguments that could be made against them can also be made against any of the organized gods in particular, so why not shack up with the fey?

No more so then the various divinities both good and evil. It's more a matter of scale and PR. Fey are different yes, but as things like gnomes show they can be understood or brought to mortal lines of thinking. Though after a few dozen centuries a character might start thinking more like the fey.

Industrial and revolutionary. Railways completely changed the way that people travelled and did their business. Dangerous and long roads were a big issue and people rarely left their own hometown in their entire lives. Trains change all of this. Countries could organise and feed massive armies, bigger than ever before, and move them around strategically faster than any time in history.
>>
>>51792424
If you're a high level an your GM is alright with it, jump into Evangelist too. That grabs some untrained skill check bonuses as well. The class is considered sorta power gamey sense you get extra class features; and worse if you are a 6hd character sense it increases your BAB and HD for free, but, for a bard, can't be too bad.

Regarding that, I'm considering removing the 1d4 round cooldown on the breath weapon. Even with being able to take a Move to reduce it by 1 turn, it's still easy to be locked out of something you may have spent two or three feats on.

Treat your breath weapon like it's a light crossbow and you have to reload your breath. Maybe have rapid reload apply to it or have feat like it just for breath.

>>51792854
I was thinking something along the lines of it breaking down after they use it or if they break it and then infusing them with power, maybe based on one of the seven sins based on their choosing
>>
>>51792322
That's not how it works at all. It doesn't empty when you rest, it simply doesn't fill when you rest unlike many other pools such as Ki. You only gain Luck by hexing people, but once you've done so there's no reason to hold it.
>>
>>51792907
That's dumb. The cooldown is better.
>>
>>51792909
Eh if they break it then UNLIMITED POWER based on seven sins, if they don't then after that guy regular old UNLIMITED POWER?
>>
>>51792903
It's an overly reductive base for monsters that have weird shit like losing one attack from their Multiattack whenever they lose a certain threshold of health, or a single monster that is an elemental trapped inside a construct. Beat up the construct enough and suddenly you're fighting the elemental instead, BUT the construct's location, statuses, etc. transfer to the elemental.

>>51792948
Because "reload breath" is a silly concept and you also suggested the creation of specific to reload breath faster.

A 1d4 round cooldown isnt that bad. If its really an issue drop it to 1d3 or every other round. Introducing a reloading mechanic is unnecessaey and weird.

Most of my games turn out to be once a week deals. More often then that and people tend to get burned out if it's more frequent then that, and having sessions more than a week apart leads to forgetfulness and scheduling/commitment issues.

If it cleared out during rests it'd be really weak.
>>
>>51793441
Yes. Unchained rogue is a really enjoyable class, whereas Slayer is practically more vanilla than a Fighter. The Sneak Attack progression difference is massive, but it's give and take with the BAB difference going the other way (which I don't think is as severe Tbh). Finesse Training, additional skill usages, an actually worthwhile rogue talent list (including a some buffs to them), and Debilitating Injury each make the Unchained Rogue just a little bit more interesting to play in a fight than a Slayer, who is ultimately just going to wind up as a pile of Ranger combat style feats and Studied Target.
>>
>>51792130
Because Arcanists and Clerics exist.

>>51793441
Slayers are way better off with strength. Go rogue.
>>
>>51792271
>I mean this from an in-character perspective once they've gotten some education and looked at their options.
Because becoming a wizard takes quite a bit of education that not many have the time/money to afford.
>>
>>51793441
As the man says, Slayers are better for strength-based people, especially strength-based TWF.

Rogues have more interesting stuff they can do, and are better defensively due to their usually higher Dex
>>
>>51792130
>>51793717
What is the prepared caster with the best NON-spell features, anyway? Since Samsaran race just completely invalidates any spell list exclusivity.
>>
>>51793793
Exactly my point. Becoming Feysworn is Easy if you can really worship any of the Eldest, and then you just get on with whatever you were already doing with your life while knowing that you occasionally have to go off on an errand in exchange for your health insurance.

>>51793799
While strength-based TWF is a valid use of the Slayer due to its rarity (making Slayer one of *TWF's* better options, behind UC Rogue), I wouldn't call it one of the better things a Slayer could be doing. Two-handing will still come out on top slightly (and only slightly, due to Sneak Attack) and they really, truly shine as archers more than anything else.

Okay, good, that's obviously how I was hoping it would work. If the 1.5x multiplier applied before the resistance, I would STILL want the ring, but it wouldn't be as good.

But do you have a source for that? I'm curious because I don't know of any rule that would determine what order they apply. I don't think any creature would normally have vulnerability and resistance to the same element.

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING
Assuming that the character in-question is an Orc Fighter 7 (Weapon Master) / Barbarian 1 with Gloves of Dueling, Weapon Focus, and a +3 weapon, we can safely guess that in prime combat-mode (that is to say, he's putting everything into this round of combat and thus is raging), the character in-question has +21 to hit. This is with the most generous of assumptions, having stacked as much as I could to get a high STR bonus and nontyped attack bonuses via Fighter. A less-hyperfocused character would have an even lower attack bonus; DHB's character is an outlier even with the example given.

Against an adult green dragon:
>http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/dragons/dragon/chromatic-green/adult-green-dragon/

On his charge he does the following damage on his initial pounce:
>.7*3*(4.5*3+21)+2*.05*3*(4.5*3+21)+.7*2*(4.5*3+17)+2*.05*2*(4.5*3+17) = 131.6
The dragon now has 41 HP

This is on average, and the dragon now has to make a save against Misfortune. Let's assume it makes the save.

The dragon goes up against AC 31 for its first 4 attacks because of the Protector familiar, and the characters takes 50% less damage because of protector familiar.

The dragon does:
>.5*(4.5+12)+.05*2*(4.5+12)+.5*2*(3.5*2+8)+.05*2*2*(3.5*2+8)+.2*(4.5+4)+.05*2*(4.5+4)+.3*(4.5+4)+.05*2*(4.5+4)+.3*(4.5+12) = 38.8
The character still have 51 effective health, transferring 50% of damage to his familiar.

The dragon dies this round, punched to death.

So in this case what we can see is Operative Monday can relatively safely take out an adult green dragon. He can survive two full attacks from the dragon, so even if he goes second he can manage a kill.

However in all likelihood he'll go first because he has a +12 to initiative opposed to the dragon's +0.

A level 8 Fortune Thief can get, like, a permanent +6 luck bonus to EVERYTHING from Hoarded Luck, Improved Luck, and Fate's Favored. They just have to keep the luck and never spend it ever.

That's a way you can play it, although honestly I'll admit hoarded luck probably gave a bonus to too many things.

Although presuming 18 cha, you can get hold 4 luck, which gives you a +1 on all rolls. With improved luck, you push that up to 6, which is a +2 on everything, and fortune's favored, that's a +3 on everything. Throw on another improved luck, and you're at 8, which is +4 on everything as far as I can see, and you've spent 3 vigilante talents to do that.

I'm not sure how you're making it to +6 myself, so please tell me how since I'm not seeing it. I mean with 22 Cha, you could push it to +5, but you're already investing a lot into it, so I don't really see a problem with letting you invest in something like that.

So they wanna hoarde luck, that was something I wanted to make as an option. I mean you can do it, again I'd probably lower what hoarded luck gave a bonus to if I was rewriting it, but considering I try to balance around a 20 point buy, it's outside of what I had planned for a character like this to just hoarde luck.

Best solution I'd give is make them pick 2 stats to get the luck bonus or use mobs of weak opponents to not let them be able to siphon tons of luck or just ban improved luck if you don't want them using this as a strategy.

This is not a deterrent against a vigilante (fortune thief), as luck points linger until expended. Therefore, a fortune thief can preserve their pool of luck points throughout the entire campaign. Is this not what you had written into the fortune thief?

Probably the dullest class in Pathfinder, fitting for one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises. Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though r-right
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

It's more like they're just a bunch of aristocrats or experts who all train in Use Magic Device and have some spell-like abilities if they're lucky (or important to the plot).

Everything they do hinges on their ability to use a wand, which isn't a Pathfinder wand but more like a really weird staff. Infinite charges, but all the spells seem to be either useless and cosmetic or totally broken (instant death with no save that can't be counterspelled).

Maybe to do wandless magic, you need to have an understanding of both science AND magic.

Comprehension of underlying scientific principles allows a wizard to take much more efficient routes to the same conclusion, allowing them to perform such feats without a wand as an additional focus.

Yeah, Tieflings (and Aasimars) are generally a bit better and have more options, but Sylphs are probably the third best of the planetouched races after those two.

They also have the Wind Listener archetype, which is pretty decent (you trade out Arcane Bond to be able to spontaneously cast any Divination spell you know).

So not the best, but far from the worst.

Kirin Style.

>>51795989
While you are correct, part of why it's so absurd on DHB's character is that he stacks Self Pact Avowed on top of it. Fortune Thief bonuses are a luck bonus, but indirectly scale with Charisma due to it affecting your maximum luck, so having both classes at the same time effectively gives double Charisma scaling to almost everything. Each of those on its own is powerful, but together in gestalt they take it to another level. That's the sort of shit you're signing up with with gestalt though.
>>
>>51796030
It'd be easier if the SRD wasn't broken, but Kirin Strike gets you Int to damage just by having 1 stamina in your pool. Quick Draw also lets you sheathe as a Swift action if you have 1 point. If you're really deep into shield use, Greater Ray Shield lets you spend 10 stamina to reflect a ray attack that you deflect at a target within 60 feet.

But the prc likes having little armor, a good Cha mod, and the quickest way to get it is with a bab 1 class. Now you could do those and Not be a Swashbuckler, but it might be a bit more tricky and wouldn't be as smooth as a transition.

Also, Mithral Breastplate counts as light for all but proficiency.

Daring Champion cavalier?

>>51796791
That sure as hell doesn't look like mithril though

>>big fuckoff skirt
Which is essentially a surcoat flourish, that many heavy ceremonial armorst had, pic related
>>slashed sleeves
which are around only 5-10 percent of the amor, and look a lot like its gambeson there to allow elbow articulation
>>pants
This one I might concede, if only because of how hard they are to make out, though they still have armored boots and greaves
>>what looks like a doublet or tunic
Literally not seeing it. I see a mantle coming off of the pauldrons, and I see a big cloth belt, but the entire torso is armored from collar to waistline. And even if it were there and I'm blind, considering its under a breastplate and such, I'd still say its probably gambeson

Even being generous to your side, I'd say the whole thing is more closer to 65% Med-to-Heavy armor, 35% lightly clothed

Of course I forget my picture
Both of these are good examples of what I'm talking about

What about Paladin, with a dip in Daring Champion?
>>
>>51796792
>Pauldrons
In name only, the ones here are made with "Beauty" in mind and Not functionality. Actual Pauldrons would cover a larger area.
>Bracers
I'll give you that
>Breastplate
If Mithral, nothing wrong here
>Shield
Buckler, a light shield that doesn't take a hand.

>Final note
The boots are just boots with a few metal platings. The other thing to remember is "Full Plate" has plate connectins to All of the Body. A Breastplate set is sometimes flavored with Pieces of Full plate but not Actually full plate.

>>51796569
I'm kind of ambivalent on it, honestly. Like, I think avowed is a cool class and everything, but I don't really like self pact fluffwise and I don't really like how it's basically something you have to take in /pfg/ gestalt games if you want to be remotely competitive, because everyone else is.
>>
>>51796861
>>51796956
I forgot that existed.
That could work actually. Pretty well even.

>>51796956
Challenge and Smite wouldn't synergize very well. If you're going Cavalier you usually go in for the long haul.

Wasn't there a new Paladin swashbuckler archetype?
>>
>>51797039
They synergize GREAT if you can get both at full or near full progression.

Chevalier is a really good PrC for Cavs for this reason.
>>
>>51797039
Smite can work better for a dip if you've got a high Charisma modifier, since it boosts both attacks and AC. But Challenge only really works if you can get it at or near your full level.

>Wasn't there a new Paladin swashbuckler archetype?
If there was, its not on th SRD yet. Do you recall what book?
Otherwise there is a 3pp one that exists, but its Flaming Crab Games

I don't know, they both are competing for a swift action which makes the combination unwieldy I think.

>>51797171
It was one of the more recent leaks. I can't remember what the book name was, but I think it was posted around the same time as the Phantom Blade spiritualist and Silksworn Occultist.
>>
>>51797204
Yeah, but they both otherwise stack entirely.

And here's part 2
>>
>>51797242
Same as >>51797250
That saved me some time.
>>
>>51797230
I'm not arguing that, just that popping two swift actions against everything your trying to kill seems to tedious for how I usually like to play.
>>
>>51797242
>precise strike and smite.

Yeah, I think this'd be a good archetype for going into the PrC. At least at first glance.
>>
>>51797270
Well it's hardly against everything. Especially since the Smite that Chevaliers get is 1/day.

But on that once per day, you can add almost double your damage to all attacks against something.
>>
>>51797242
>>51797258
This is actually perfect!
Plus, you still have Medium armor for Breastplate, and the only important thing you lose is Deflection bonus on Smite, Mercy, and Spells, which is fine since the PiC would've kept you from casting anyhow.

Still, losing mercy does suck a bit, but since Bond is untouched you could possibly do d some other archetypes to mix in as well
>>
>>51797385
I'm playing one in a home-game right now. I combined it with the Chosen One archetype (they both alter Smite, but my GM ruled since Chosen One just pushed Smite back by two levels instead of actually changing it mechanically, he'd let these two archetypes stack).

Is there a decent Injuries table somewhere?
