"The story behind Crack the Skyeis a very complex, spiritual one. It begins with a paraplegic boy who goes out of his body, through the method of astral traveling, into outer space. He goes too close to the sun, burning off the golden umbilical cord that is attached to his solar plexus. So, he is in outer space and he is lost. He gets sucked into a wormhole, where he ends up in the spirit realm and talks to spirits, telling them that he is not really dead. They send him to a Russian cult that uses him in a divination and find out his problem. The cult decides they will help him by putting his soul inside Rasputin’s body. Rasputin goes to usurp the Russian Czar and he is murdered. The two souls fly out of Rasputin’s body through the crack in the sky(e). Rasputin is the wise man who is trying to lead the child back home to his body because by now his parents have found him and think that he is dead. Rasputin needs to get the boy back into his body before it’s too late. But they end up running into the Devil along the way and the Devil tries to steal their souls and bring them down. The story ends as somewhat of a cliffhanger with the thirteen minute epic song entitled “The Last Baron.”"

So folks: a campaign based off of the premise of this album, wherein everyone is a cripple and they've used astral projection in order to send their spirits out into the world to learn, and end up sucked into wormholes into a "spirit realm" so to speak, whereupon they must figure out how to escape! It could be weird. And fun!

I've been listening to a ton of Mastodon lately

Explain yourselves, why aren't you playing as a Grippli?

>>51839636
They can't be sexy!

>>51839636
>>51839656
They're also terrible!

>>51839611
Still sounds like sticking your dick into a tornado. Besides I'm the DM.

>>51839636
Why would I want to play as some dumb frog?

What kind of armor do you recommend for a switch-hitter?

>>51839636
I'd rather play the Soarfrog in the pastebin. It looks like it was made to be playable and enjoyable.

>>51839427
Let's list out their classes and fighting styles.

>>51839483
I'll add him in.

>Rath Khulainn
Bloodrage|Paladin, two-handed weapon, only skill of note is intimidate

>Soralis Lyso
Unchained Monk || Brutal Slayer, punchy melee, handles wisdom skills

>Jin Imoji
Eliciter (Id Archetype) || Paladin (Enlightened Archetype), punchy melee, hasn't spent skill ranks

>Lucius Maeca Lebeda "Irina"
Warlord/Vigilante, dex based melee, handles face skills

>Artemy Neizvestny Medvyed
Ranger/Unchained Rogue, ranged/melee switch hitter, handles wis and dex skills

>Brihzwald (Buford)
Teisatsu Vigilante/Grenadier Alchemist, alchemist bomb based, handled dex skills

>Seth, Scion of Thassilon, Faithful of Lissala
Greed Thassilonian Specialist/Ravenlord Harbinger, mainly spell caster, bunch of knowledges

>Arme
Lore Warden Fighter/Vigilante, two-handed weapon, bunch of knowledge skills

>Solomon Kreet III
Knight Disciple Paladin/Destined Steelblooded Bloodrager, sword and board support, handles face skills only character with profession soldier

>Zefira al-Eahira
Dawnflower Dervish Bard // Steelfist Commando Warlord, shuriken user?, handles face skills

>>51839636
Because the "sword and pistol" swashbuckler build I keep wanting to run for a frog race is just fucked. Way too MAD, way too feat-thirsty, and it really doesn't use the race very well.

Does character art anon have any tanuki?

>>51839740
>mfw Uk'Regash remains forgotten

>>51839532
I am curious what you think of the changes to Solomon.

>>51839594
Honestly I was not satisfied with it. The character was originally going to be another, an anti-paladin rather than a paladin. I changed it because in WotR being the only NE applicant and being an anti-paladin who isn't a tyrant makes life difficult for his selection. Because his alignment, personality, and personal history were pretty tied together I had to rework it entirely. A lot of the stuff that carried over didn't fit the new character, so I have been pruning it as time goes. Honestly I am still unsure of it. Of all my characters I would say this one is the weakest. It is one of the reasons I have considered scrapping it entirely for a new one.

>>51839772
Don't take it personally anon, its just that people were already invested in poring over the existing character when he was posted.

He'll probably get some attention when they realize that more apps were added to the lineup.

>>51839803
I hope that there's a last week wave of apps. I really hope one of the final day apps gets picked for the reactions.

Man, the DM didn't want this game to pick up any hype but a month and a half of waiting is really making people jump over it now that we're close to deadline.

>>51839831

If you don't want hype, then DEAR FUCKING GOD, DON'T RUN APPLICATIONS FOR A MONTH AND HOST AN IRC CHANNEL FOR A WHOLE COMMUNITY TO POP UP.

It's fairly inexcusable to complain about hype when you engineered it for hype.

Please recommend me a 5th level module! I forgot to bring anything to game! Anything with a dungeon I can drop them in to explore, I'll do a cave-in start.

>>51839636
Even if I wanted to play one, it would be turned down because "furry character".

Who is your favourite Iconic and why is it Feiya?

>>51839851
To be fair, he wasn't advertising his game very much compared to say, shattered star and that assassin game.

I guess people got into it because the competition was so fierce or at least the cast was pretty diverse.

>>51839851
>IRC channel
That seems like a particularly poor idea for someone who has to make selections.

Does anyone have a copy of Psionics Augmented: Mind and Soul?

How do you protect a tiefling's tail?

Is Kineticists of Porphyra IV still in testing/layout, or did that come out already?

Is there a collection of the Pathfinder Journals?

>>51839873
I dunno, Feiya is pretty top tier but there are a lot othe qts in there that people gravitate towards. Personally I like Adowyn, but Jirelle, Lirianne and Nyctessa are also pretty good.

Arachna for RoTJR. They actually ended up getting into the game, which was really baffling to me, because I thought the app was so bizarre and off the wall that it had to be a joke.

I mean, some of it probably /was/ originally a joke, but it was so simple and straightforward it fails by a wide margin to come close to being capable of a "worst app".

>>51840413

Does a reply to an App count, because the time someone posted in an app saying they would be happy to play that person's character was pretty bad.

It was definitely bottom of the barrel; the worst I'd personally seen, but probably not the worst ever.

Man, I'm not even applying for Wrath of the Raunchy but looking over the character apps just makes me want to develop my PC is another game more. Some of these backstories and personalities are really good.

Well, there are many horrific apps left and right, so I'll just put up what I thought was the worst for Dragongame. This is directly copypasted from the app itself as is only appropriate: The spelling, the first-person style, hell even the combination of brevity and long-windedness... It's all bad!

>Backstory: Born Twins from the same egg i came out human while my sister came out a healthy red dragon. I was sickly and the caretakers thought to get rid of such a terrible descendant of the great queen when my sister started to his and threaten them whenever they got near my sister grew up together with me. I grew and a small birthmark on my shoulder grew into the symbol tiamat, when this happened i was rushed off to learn the ways of the religion. my sister was furious and refused to eat or sleep until i was brought back. We then trained togeather her to become big and strong and myself to support her. I was never able to meet any young ladies of any species due to my sister chasing(or eating) any that got too close to me. Eventually i finished my training and was ready to push forward the glory of Tiamat and our mother

The character quality for Wrath of the Raunchy is way above what you'd expect from a game called Wrath of the Raunchy.

I don't think that one furry that applies to everything even applied.

>>51840665

>>51840687
It's funny because I find the general quality level and competition intimidating even though, like I said, I'm not applying for that game. That and the short reviews/critiques of the characters are making me want to step up my own game.

Even for all the bitching and saltiness it can bring, I think /pfg/ is way more interesting when it's fascinated with an approaching game.

Because he likely can't. Make something that doesn't fall into his niche. Make something that does, and, as he himself said, he'll adjust his numbers to fit the party.

>>51840987
MY SON.

What you want is the SPEEDSTER MONK from Gonzo 2.

They are ALL ABOUT the fast.

Normal monk fast movement? SHPSH. KID STUFF, SON.

These motherfuckers get +10 movement speed for EVERY SINGLE level.

And it's not even an enhancement bonus, that shit's untyped.

After that, you could go with something like a Speed Motif Henshin Hero for even more speed. It's not permanent however, since you only have so many transformation rounds. But it does get you another 10+10/4 levels speed boost. You could then Clock Up for another +30, and use IMPOSSIBLE SPEED to double the distance you move with a Run action.

The Henshin stuff ain't permanent, but yeah. Speedster Monk is a good starting point.

>>51841051
Gonna be honest, a prophecy wherein you beat the shit outta people with a hammer's a pretty good one.

>>51840846

Why do /pfg/ games insist on picking CHARACTERS instead of PLAYERS?

It's a lot more effective to do things the way Game Finder threads do it: drop contact details, interview players, figure out which ones you mesh with and schedule with best, gather them into a group, and then make characters together.

Why do /tg/'s Roll20s always follow a Myth-Weavers style app process? Is it because RotJR did it and everyone is just following the leader? Is it for meme character potential?

>>51841332
Well I don't know about anyone else but I'm probably going to do a combination of both if I get enough applications.

>>51841341
It's the only way to make a viable Tortured Crusader

>>51841332
Because that way the GM can pick and choose what works best for the party (no everyone wanting to play a wizard and someone getting buttmad) and get a feel for the players' style of writing, I guess.

I think it's pretty dumb myself, but I can see that it'd be easier to handle 40+ apps that way.

>>51841316
Unchained monk, for full bab and such. Would go well with stalker, pump str, ignore dex, since you have flurry, and go brutal stalker. 2swole2control. Embrace the power lifter bruiser

>>51841332
I figure it's just that picking players is a lot more work than picking characters. Imagine being the DM for WotR and going through all those then having to decline them personally. It also might turn out to be less practical depending on how autistic /pfg/s population actually is in an interview. Could pass over lot of good players that're uncomfortable with typical games.

But mostly the meme character potential is great. I think this pre-selection period discussion is pretty fun.

It's always a lot better to build characters together, not in a vacuum where you don't know who you'll be playing with.

Alternatively drop Str and go full Dexfag so you actually have some AC to speak of at lower levels.

You are all your abilities weaker, with annoying nerfs, for the sake of having a slightly bigger alignment selection

>>51841430
Then why does the choir insist on doing games where you have to build a character in a vacuum?

>>51841501
Because it lets us get angry at anyone with too big of number and claim "anyone should be able to tell what's reasonable".

>>51841501
>it's another /pfg/ is a hivemind episode

>>51841332
Because it gauges writing ability and creativity which means even the lowliest nobody gets a fair chance if he does well on his particular concept.

If it were just a matter of players like you want then there would be little competition once the "best" player's have been labeled where everyone else is just hoping for second place, basically a clique fest if you had it your way which would be counter to the tg ideal where every is supposed to get a shot.

Really dude, what you're trying to sell sounds pretty reddity since it basically removes the anonymity out of the equation and turns the whole mess into a popularity contest.

>>51841521
You mean just like the current system?

Writing ability and creativity for backstories are often disconnected from in-game roleplaying.

t. GM whose players all wrote 1 or 2 sentence backstories but are really pleasant RPers.

>>51841521
The anonymity is already gone. They have users on roll20. We all know who the /pfg/ personalities are, DHB, 2hu, etc.

>>51841521
Uh, you know that player interviews would be done in private, right?

ALMOST anonymously, in other words.

As opposed to posting apps in Roll20 in public...

>>51841332
I am sure there is nothing stopping you from using that method for the selection process of your campaign.

>contingency LoH
>spend two sites to smite for double damage, but smite only lasts 1 minute and doesn't stack with normal double damage.
>Wis casting.
Yeah, kinda sucks

I want to start up a big campaign and get lots of applications. Then slowly weed people out over the course of two weeks as /pfg/ watches and argues about the different characters. Once I have 5 players, all of whom wrote out backstories and spent countless hours working on characters and sweating the status of their application, we'll confirm the day to start. But I won't show up. I'll just vanish and perhaps a year down the road return to do the same thing all over again, just under a different name.

Fun fact, Crowe is actually Wayne Reynolds' own Barbarian/Sorcerer character back from when Curse of the Crimson Throne came out; he was asked to draw the iconic Bloodrager, but instead drew his own character and said "hey, would this work?" Apparently JJ loved it, so it got passed-through.

>>51841240
>>51841213
I'd be interested in seeing who the "repeat customers" are, seeing what their characters were when they entered their apps; at least a few have shown up multiple times, after all.

So in my custom setting playable races can be put into the following categories:
>human
>human offshoots
>human creations

Basically I decided to remove the pathfinder races and try and disentangle myself from mythology. How would you feel as a player to know that all races are human in some manner or were created by humans?

>>51841748
Real talk, if I don't get picked I'll probably just copy paste my dude when the next WotR game shows up. Not exactly cheating I would say, since I specifically wrote that character for that one adventure path.

Maybe one day I'll have the time to pre write a well written character for every single AP that I am yet to play.

>>51841782
Elaborate. Is it like Wakfu or what?

alright /pfg/

i'm gonna make a child of war/amazen fighter + eldritch raider rogue

how do i work this out

>>51841782
I wouldn't mind so long as you then unlocked the race-based feats or archetypes; it's dumb, for instance, that only elves have the ability to shank people with arrows, or for only dwarves to be able to headbutt.

>>51841794

The hotpot setting fueled by love is much less problematic than the mechanical mess fueled by Bulmahn's hate.

If I, for example, cast Extended Obstruction Aegis from Spheres of Power by spending two spell points, would it dissipate when I go to sleep, or persist for its full duration?

Basically everyone in the Wakfu universe is human, but their form changes and they become different races based on the gods they worship.

Wasn't Shensen a lot more attractive and a bit chestier in one of the non-WAR pieces?

What are the limitations of still spell? If you had it or any other similar effect that lets you forego the somatic components of a spell, does it mean you can now cast while having both your hands full or does it simply let you ignore spell failure from armor?

>>51842051
Let me give an example and see if that helps:
>Name
Pallic

>Description
Short and pale compared to a normal man, they stand at highest 5'6". A Pallic's body is unable to produce some forms of essential chemicals that a normal man is, forcing the Pallic to consume the flesh of surface man to sustain themselves. Their eyes are sensitive to bright lights, unable to stand broad daylight for more than a few minutes. Their teeth are unlike that of a surface man's having instead numerous additional sets of incisors which will come up and push previous teeth out of the way. If left unkempt a Pallic's mouth will become a pile up of teeth.

>Disposition
The older a Pallic becomes the more likely they are to turn to madness. Disease of the gut and brain plague them in old age, causing increased aggression. Even in their youth Pallic do not show many signs of empathy towards their surface cousins nor towards each other. However they are deeply concerned with hierarchal structure of society, the majority of them willing to be subservient to what ever power provides them with sustenance. Increased consumption of surface man rids them of this natural subservience, or at least lessons it.

>Origin
Discovered in 1701 IC during the seventh exploratory expedition. Believed by the government of Desmon to be the remnants of human colonies of Ragthat Ragthat being vast layered caverns beneath the earth. Rural urban legends have since been confirmed to be Pallic coming to the surface to serve their needs. Pallic are similar enough to normal man to hide among them, able to pass off their sensitivity to bright light and pale skin as sickness, and since Pallic individuals living among surface man have been discovered and imprisoned by the government of Desmon.

>>51842527
>Society
Within Ragthat the Pallic live in societies ruled by slaver kings. Often a slaver king will have a population of surface man kept close to them, forced to breed as stock for the consumption of the Pallic. Lesser Pallic are kept on tight diets to keep them subservient to the slaver kings. Normally these slaver kings do not stay in one place, preferring for their peoples to be nomadic so as to not over stress the population of surface man. There are exceptions to this, cities and permanent settlements exist where slaver kings may come together, most often in times of war.

>Religion
Some link the religion of the Pallic to their origin, what branched them off from surface man. Deeper into Ragthat there are ruins believed to belong to species that predate man. The Pallic worship a pantheon based upon statues that dot these ruins. Parallels have been drawn between some of these forgotten gods and current religions of the surface. The most notable are the gods Yek, Brok, and Karkek, often referred to as Mother Maggot, Brother Lichen, and Old Father Toad.

Alright you guys I've made some alterations to the campaign I posted last night after a few friendly suggestions and have also posted backstory to the session in the "forum" section of the campaign. As always, feel free to ask questions about the setting, I can almost guarantee that I'll have an answer for you.

I've also changed the settings to "text-only", but this comes with a caveat. Instead of pure, unadulterated text-only we're actually going to use a variety of voice I like to call Partial Voice, which will be as many Text users as you're comfortable with but with me still using my voice to verbally communicate with the rest of you. I've never had an issue with talking verbally to strangers so I wouldn't think that should be an issue, plus I've always been better at talking than writing anyway.

Here's the link again for those of you who have missed it, for those of you who already saw it feel free to give it another once-over. I'm also considering moving the game to the weekend if not enough people are available on Mondays, so if that's your only reason to not join let me know so I can keep a tally of who is available when, since my own schedule is fairly flexible.

>>51842574
God dang it I forgot to include the link, here it is: https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/69913/slash-pfg-slash-dragonborn-game
You might need to be listed as joined in order to see the forum post, if that's the case just let me know and I can copypasta it into a Pastebin linked in the description.

My character got into an argument with a paladin, ran off in a huff, and got into trouble with an evil witch. The paladin saved her but died in the process, encouraging the PC to dedicate herself to fighting evil and carry on the paladin's mantle, literally and figuratively. The evil witch could very well still be alive, so that's a little hook the DM might be able to use to make things personal for my character.

That's the abridged version and skips some other important stuff, but does that part seem like a good motivation to become an adventurer? I feel like the backstory I'm developing is lackluster.

>>51842618
Just remember that backstory is there for you to build on, not to define how your character will be from henceforth and evermore.

So, I'm joining a campaign in the next few weeks and I was thinking creating a human fighter focused on CHA and DEX who uses one-handed weapons leaving the off hand free for using hidden weapons and artifacts.
why not a rouge? because he doesn't like to be sneaky, instead he likes getting on fights but turning them on his side by trickery and cheating (also feats)
why I'm posting this? because I need ideas for what kind of thing he should be carrying to accomplish his goals, pick related

>>51842687
1 bullet
1 gun

It'll be faster to just kill yourself at the start and make a different character

>>51842687
>why not a rouge?
Because apparently you can't be asked to spell Rogue right

>>51842686
Right, I definitely want more character development to come in the future. I've given her some character flaws to deal with, namely a degree of pride that's unbecoming of a paladin and I'm toying with the idea of playing her with a less lawful bent than what a paladin should have. If she ends up eventually falling from grace, it'll be a learning experience and in seeking atonement she could come to a better understanding of what it means to be good.

Ah, but I can't plan out future events too much when I'm not the one running the campaign. That's just an example of how I could see things unfolding and more character development happening.

>>51840849

I think it's just an intimidating game. Fairly high starting level, custom gestalt class rules, the mature content tag isn't discussed (though I'm not seeing any red flags either), full wealth to address, class restrictions, several flavors of alternative rules in play at once, optional 3PP with sort of vague guidelines, a lot of rules discussion afterwards. The introduction is an infodump of names and places, which don't make much sense unless you're familiar with the setting or do some research. Already several applications submitted with character sheets and full detail.

It's a big wall of effort to hurdle over.

>>51842527
>>51842548
Is this supposed to be a player race?

Also, it kind of feels like you basically did DROW BUT DIFFERENT GUYS which kind of feels like defeating the purpose of making different races.

>>51842687
>CHA and DEX
>Fighter
>combining two bad things

while it is probably doable with enough digging, you've reached so deep into the "unviable fighting style and class choice" bin that as much as I want to believe it, I know this can't be bait.

>>51842746

Shouldn't everyone know a bit about the setting anyway, or at least the Inner Sea?

>>51842750
>Is this supposed to be a player race?
It is the intention, yes.

>Also, it kind of feels like you basically did DROW BUT DIFFERENT GUYS which kind of feels like defeating the purpose of making different races.
I am not familiar with drow in much besides the fact they worship spiders and live in a matriarchal society. Plus the living underground part.

How's that Moulthine Knights and Arrgh Sky Pirates game?

>>51842813
I am....not really sure what sort of game you're gunning for if a bunch of guys whose hat is being cannibals without empathy who go crazy as they get older is what you'd consider a suitable race for a PC.

>>51842574
I'd sign up if I could play a Kobold but I'm not terribly interested in playing a Dragonborn. Good luck with your game though.

>>51842800

Not if you're a more casual player who hasn't read up, or play in custom settings, or haven't played in a while.

I mean, take myself. I'm not new to pathfinder, but the base world is alien to me and I don't know a thing about higher level play. I also don't know a thing about all that third party stuff going on, and how weird classes with fantastic bonuses are creeping in. The net effect is something big.

Why aren't you playing a Dashing Cavalier. or another martial class that's literally built for the high Dex/Cha niche.

>>51842848
Literally why would you ever want to play a Kobold though, that's partially why I'm allowing you guys to use Kobold racial traits if you so desire, Paizo screwed Kobolds so hard I felt the need to port Dragonborn over from D&D just so we could have a real draconic race to play instead of trying to salvage that mess of a race.

>>51842834
Shame about Swashbucklers. I'd definitely recommend someone take the Paladin or Cavalier archetype versions over it.

boom done.

>>51842840
To describe some of the others briefly it would be:
>descendants of criminals whose punishment was ironic flesh warping based on the crime, the flesh warping often practiced by nobles as an artistic pass time
>humans with a staggered puberty, going through one at age 7-8 and a second while in their 40s, the puberties being based first on physical then mental development
>small frog like humanoids originally created as a combination servant and emergency ration for soldiers
>7-8 foot tall thin human with a distended conical skull that no one is quite sure how got started

>>51842905
Eh, I prefer the relative variety I created with the DB in the supplied link. At least then the variations sort of align with their corresponding color/metal of Dragon they're based off of.

>>51842874
There's a good variant of kobolds in Worlds of Power. They get a normal +2 +2 -2 statblock, lose light sensitivity, and get prehensile tail for free.

>>51842687
Lorewarden, or CAD focused on dirty tricks.
Since you'll have Cha you should invest in Use Magic Device for your offhand "artifacts".

>>51842882
If it's the Daring Champion, make sure your GM lets you use the pre-errata version. Even then, you make sure you look long and hard at the Paladin version--it's got more deeds for less worry.

>>51842894
Not really, you just picked the wrong place to ask.

>>51842894
A fighter is already pretty sucky and a Charisma/Dex one is even suckier. Like that other guy said, you're digging yourself into a deep as fuck hole. If you want to play it, go right on ahead, but just hope none of your buddies are bothering to min-max even a little bit because you'll be left in the dust.

>>51842874
There are lots of alternate Kobold stat distributions. Kobolds have always been my favorite monster race. I just like their lore, culture and the way they look, stats be damned.

>>51842996
>Add 3xLevel to damage
I DON'T KNOW HOW PRACTICAL IT IS BUT IT SURE SOUNDS IMPRESSIVE.

>>51843167
>3xlevel
Where's the third from? I get Precise Strike and Challenge, but...

>>51843236
You can spend panache on Precise Strike to get twice your level instead of 1x.

>>51843085
Well I hope there are more out there who are mostly like you but more amenable to playing a Dragonborn, there would be nothing worse than putting all of this work into trying to host this session and only getting the guy who wanted to make Aisha Enkidu wanting to play.

What can I do to spice my paladin up?
I'm playing a fairly standard 2-hander paladin and it just doesn't feel like I can do much.
He just power attacks, smites when he can, and occasionally lay-on-hands himself.
Anyone have any tips for improving the paladin or expanding its functionality? 1pp only.

>>51843306
Paladins are kind of stuck like that, it's hard to find feats on their budget.

Ah, but that's the thing. Only the RIPOSTE needs an Immediate. the parries themselves use AoOs.

And secondly, the fact that you have a swift to use means you should use it. Immediates use your NEXT swift action, so having a swift at all means you didn't use an immediate since your last turn.

There's the fey-type 'taninim' from company of dragons that's pretty workable. Not all that great even if you gestalt with the draconic exemplar class, but it's workable enough.

No it fucking don't m8. Unless they're houseruling, which you can't take into account.

>Using an immediate action on your turn is the same as using a swift action and counts as your swift action for that turn. You cannot use another immediate action or a swift action until after your next turn if you have used an immediate action when it is not currently your turn (effectively, using an immediate action before your turn is equivalent to using your swift action for the coming turn).

>>51843722

That's hilarious, and possibly something I'll use in the campaign itself at some point, but no.

Question: Is making the Stag Lord an 8th level Self Pact Avowed using Aether Bullets with a Thrask Rifle too cruel?

My players have been putting together a group of musketeers with their crafting abilities (one of them is a walking industrial revolution) and hunters the party face had diplomanced into becoming a sort of volunteer militia (as well as a few bandits they pressed into service in exchange for their lives).

I've redone the Stag Lord to work him into one of the PC's backstories. Technically, he's a time remnant from a universe which never happened, the person one of the PCs was pulled into this timeline and the future from old Azlant by Nyrissa's mucking about. In exchange for Nyrissa freezing his time, thus granting him effective immortality (something the PC in question sought and achieved through different means), he built the raiders up to drive any settlers off of the Greenbelt, that the Faerie Queen of Time's plans suffer no interference from civilization's meddling.

(Note that the only reason this fork exists is because the players defeated Nyrissa in one timeline already, but she utilized a closed timelike curve to inform herself of her defeat. She doesn't hold grudges, only recognizes assets, and so recruited the PC in question from after his stint as an Azlanti shock trooper, when the shock of war was fresh in his mind and his quest for an escape from death began. She offered him an escape from death, and in return he became her agent).

Self pacts work best in melee, not in range.

>>51844372

It doesn't, the Stag Lord has some experience with Nyrissa (the helmet is actually a part of the fable she needs to collect to create the pocket dimension for the Greenbelt.)

The Stag Lord would be an Avowed (Fae), the fact he made him a Self Pact is proof he doesn't give a shit about connecting class with backstory and just wants to go for raw power.

>>51844372
>>51844477

I've statted Nyrissa out as a Self Pact Avowed gestalted with a Time Sphere focused Thaumaturge. She used her class abilities to grant him the Self Pact.

Faerie Dragonborn:
Small Creature (with all that goes along with that)
-2 Str, +2 Dex, +2 Cha
+2 Stealth, +2 Swim
Immune to magical and nonmagical Sleep, +2 vs Paralysis
Breath Weapon 5ft cone Euphoria (con based save described below)
+1 Natural Armor
Characters with a Charisma score of 11+ gain the following spell-like abilities 1/day:
Ghost Sound, Dancing Lights, Prestidigitation, Speak with Animals

Euphoria. Effects last 1d4 rounds. Creatures affected by Euphoria are staggered, sickened, and immune to fear effects for the duration. Save DC is Con based.

And she granted it to him. Like a patron.

Also, did you even fucking read the everything? He's not even the Stag Lord - she never visited him in his dream this iteration. He's one of the party members plucked out of his original place in the timestream and made into one of her agents.

>I haven't actually read the features of the class I'm deriding this person for "abusing", the post.

Patronage (Su): At 14th level, an avowed has attained power that lets him become a patron for other avowed. He can bestow a pact on another being, as described on page 25, granting them the benefits of his own pact commiserate to their new avowed level (even if it isn't a Patron pact).

Make the immunity another +2, expand the cone from 5 ft to 15 ft line/cone and remove staggered to keep it in line with the other breath weapons (Save DC goes up by 1 every other level to help keep it with everyone else's as well,), and you can choose to gain one of those spells as a spell-like ability, but not all 4 at once, gaining another one every 3 levels past level 1.

>>51844577

So you're twisting the class features so you can give all your Avowed characters the Self pact, because Self is the best pact in the system?

Fuck, dude. Fae Pact gives you Aether Rounds, why aren't you going with Aether Rounds? Why aren't you going with the far more easy route of saying, "Hey. Nyrissa is a powerful Nymph Queen. She gives Nymph powers to this character."

Not only that, but guess what? When the party fights that character? They'll notice the Stag Lord is using Fae abilities. Fae! That will make them go, "Huh, that's odd. Why did this punk have Fae powers?"

>>51844587
I don't, but Nyrissa is sorta sick of losing each and every time she goes up against the PCs.

>>51844642
>but Nyrissa is sorta sick of losing each and every time she goes up against the PCs.

And... This... Gives... Her... Self Pact?

>>51844636
Because they'll be more (rightly) concerned about the fact that he's one of the party members.

>>51844649
No... that... is... a... byproduct... of... her... self... reflection... upon... centuries... of... solitude...

>>51844606

Asking again? If I cast an extended aegis with 6 CL at midnight, then sleep, will it last until noon tomorrow?

>>51844629
it's a 10pt race in race builder (though I didn't calculate the dragons I was basing it off of)

Sleep immunity and +2 is the same as elves, but instead of a general +2 vs enchantment it's specifically against paralysis (thought that was a fair compromise).

The spells are straight from Gnomes - I figured who else was a fairie dragon more likely to mate with than a gnome, and the dragons innate magic lined up rather nicely anyway.

Breath weapons save dc is 1/2 hd + primary stat so the save would go up anyway. You sure you want everyone within a 15ft cone to be sickened? I thought the 5ft was what would make it fair since I can reasonably only target one creature with it at melee range.

>>51844748
>Got an example of some adventures you could have along the way?

Jade Regent takes place on the Path of Aganhei and sets up quite a few scenarios that caravans would routinely face.

>>51844268
Thrask rifle?

>>51844683

So you're making a campaign about the Fae and you're not putting anything Fae into it?

>>51844748
The question is, do you want your players to actually travel the trade route? Or do you want them to set up in a major city along the trade route? If it's the former, Jade Regent is a good place to look.

>>51844805
From an adventure Paizo published with one of their crossover comics (I think it was John Carter of Mars?). It's a martian rifle that deals 1d10 damage at medium (2d8 at large, its default size) and has a range increment of one mile.

The part where nothing about her is Faerie-like?

>>51844779
Just for reference, I'm not arguing, I'm just explaining my reasoning for why I designed it how I did.

>>51844779
Fair enough on the sleep immunity, go ahead and keep that one. I'm sticking to my guns on the spells though, I'm much more of a fan of continuous progression as opposed to just having everything at once. I'll bump it down to every 2 levels though, level 10 seems a bit excessive now that I think about it for what amounts to 4 level 0 spells at will.

As for the breath weapon yes I'm sure, you're trading straight damage to a group for the chance to sicken them once per day for 1d6 rounds, assuming they fail the save. If anything I worry you're underpowered compared to the rest given that passing the save completely negates the effect.

>>51844900
The Stormwind Fallacy is the belief that mechanical strengthening of a character weakens their roleplay potential. Just because the belief isn't inherently true doesn't mean that strengthening your character mechanically can never weaken them in a roleplay sense.

Self-Pact is the "best" pact. If you're picking it even though a different pact would be a better fit for your character you are the cases where the Stormwind Fallacy is true. You've made a choice for mechanics at the expense of character. And the fact that you're admitting that this is a justification just shows this.

She's a Nymph.
She rules over the Faerie Court of Time (a smaller, esoteric court, the party is in friendly contact with the Winter Court already, which is a primary court).
She Time-Looped her way into enlightenment (Self Pact).
She's freaking inscrutable as fuck.
Did I mention she's literally a nymph as her race?
And has the Fae Bloodline, just to be sure?
Oh, and she wants to steal away the Stolen Lands by fragmenting its time and whisking its present away to her domain in the stranger parts of the first world.
And she has glittery butterfly wings.

>>51844945
I'm ok with a 15ft cone. I was just staying inline with the fairie dragons breath weapon (though the actual fairie dragon effect is for 1d6, I figured going underpowered would be a better approach than going overboard). Maybe 1+con/day would make it a bit more even?

The 0-level spells are 1/day, not at will.

In all honesty, I wanted to make the race Tiny instead of Small, but figured that was definitely a bit much.

>>51845050

so for all the bitching I see about Self Pact, and how "it needs to definitely be nerfed and it will be nerfed no question about it"... What will the nerf actually be? Is aether channel just going to get the Cha-to-hit and damage removed to revert it back to how it was before?

>>51845043
Well, what if you want to be a punchfey and not a trickeryfey?

You're claiming it's weakening their concept because you have this immutable idea of what's allowed to be 'fey-like'. To you they're weakening their concept because they're moving away from that.
But to them... they're just /changing the mechanics of their pact to be something closer to what they want/. How can you not call that strengthening their roleplay potential?

>>51845050

I thought an important part of Nyrissa's character was that she got kicked out of all the cool Fae clubs because she boinked the wrong Eldest or Erlking, and literally got her capacity to love ripped out of her and turned into a sword because of it.

>>51845050
>How do I solve this horrid problem

kys.

>>51845105
As cute as that would be, Tiny is indeed a bit much, and my bad on the spells, if they're 1/day then that's totally fine to have them from level 1. As for the breath weapon, let's start you out with a flat two uses of it per day as opposed to 1 and see where that takes us.

>>51844869
>has a range increment of one mile.

So you could potentially shoot someone 10 miles away. You'd be at -18, but a single True Strike would fix that. Fuck, my Desperado Warlord wants one of those to use with his Solar Wind Maneuvers.

>>51845119
I am horrible at gauging 3pp being able to make or break any character. On one hand it makes martials more fun and powerful without rocketing them through the tier list right into the next pastebin line. On the other hand I don't want to learn how to balance encounters for new classes.

>>51845136
I am fine with Promiscuous behavior and characters being exactly that, but I fear that letting it go to /pfg/ levels turns it into Reign of Raunchy where Baba Yaga has a pair of giant tits and all characters are in the nude.

Then don't include 3pp at all, make it 1pp only.

>>51845050
I always feel bad trying to apply to /pfg/ games. I couldn't optimize my way out of a paper bag.

>>51845177
Make it clear that if the players want to engage in debauchery, that it's done in private. You can always just not select any apps which are too ERP centric.

>>51845198
Neither can I anon, but I've applied to a few, and even gotten into some of them anyway.

>>51845177
WotR barely has any fetish apps and it's using dick size rules, you could probably get away fine with a normal game.

>>51844945

As evidenced by the terrible line of feats that's way too fucking long you've made for the race.

>but I fear that letting it go to /pfg/ levels turns it into Reign of Raunchy where Baba Yaga has a pair of giant tits and all characters are in the nude.

This tells me you're judging lewd games entirely off fear and memes.

I play in more ERP games than non-lewd games, and most of the sessions of lewd games show no sign that it's lewd.
20% of pfg lewd games might be 24 hour orgies but the other 80% is 'We're running a normal campaign, but sex available as an option'.

>>51845177
>I am fine with Promiscuous behavior and characters being exactly that, but I fear that letting it go to /pfg/ levels turns it into Reign of Raunchy where Baba Yaga has a pair of giant tits and all characters are in the nude.
Considering the premiere meme game, RotJR, has yet to have a single thing remotely worth raising an eyebrow about, let alone anything ERP-worthy? I think you're probably otherthinking things. Just tell the fuckers to keep it in PM if they want to go beyond maybe a couple innuendo or teasing.

>horrible at gauging 3pp
Honestly, straight up the only 3pp that's a make or break for me personally is Jolly's Vigilante stuff, but that's because I am extremely biased because he went and published all the things I suggested to fix the Warlock archetype.

I have gutted the Adventure Path to suit my and my party's tastes. Once they get the Kingdom stuff going, they're going to be dealing with Fae Court Politics as much as they are dealing with Brevish politics (the God of the Atom decided to make his kingdom of Logic and Reason... right ontop of a bleed zone into the First World, where the Faeries congregate).

In this case, she ripped her own ability to love out of her heart during her mourning period of a mortal lover (a powerful pactmaker whose death was a cosmic lynchpin, meaning even she cannot undo it), during the whole "Time Loop Her Way into Enlightenment" phase. This has made her one of the colder, most logical (as Faerie logic is) Queens of the various Faerie Courts.

One of the Players is even planning to swear herself to the service of the Winter Maiden (who they ran into in a chance encounter while she was freezing frogs). There's gonna be a section where the Maiden calls upon that pact to help her overthrow the Winter Queen.
