Question, should I continue to shill my game for the next week or should I just let it sit there on its own and hope that the rest of you do it for me?

Also I didn't forget the link this time, the cycle has been broken! https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/69913/slash-pfg-slash-dragonborn-game

>>51922212
stop shilling

>>51922212
You don't have to force it so hard.

Somewhat serious though. I was kind of hoping for a bit of feedback for my dragon game 2 app but am hesitant to ask

ASK FAGGOT.

Name: Xen Xetil
Race: Aasimar (Dragonblooded)
Gender: Male
Class: Sorcerer / Cleric
Backstory: Xen found his way to Culdranth after hearing of a city where people of a dragon heritage were not only welcome but down right common there.His dragonic heritage...along with his 'divine' heritage lies in a coupling two generations back. He bears his grandmother's name as his family name feeling it might make matters a bit confusing if he took his grandfather's name. He is a cleric for one of those fancy new up and coming gods that crop up from time to time. The Lionheart! God of Arcane magic, The void, Travel, knowledge, and most recently Love...to put it a bit more bluntly an adventuring god of 'virility'...or was it fertility...Xen can never really quite figure it out...or really most of the anecdotes that he has heard...however he draws his strength from prayers to his god so...he does his best not to think too much about it.

Despite the 'sponsorship' of his God. He is something more meek, but he is still interested in spread his own story, and hearing about the Dragon Queen's greatness he decided that maybe he can get his start serving her and then maybe grow into something greater!

His greatest complaint is that it is hotter than balls here and while he appreciates the eye candy he'd prefer it if things were a little cooler.

Prior to leaving for adventure, Xen helped his Grandmother as a Librarian. Where he learned his primary profession and much of his knowledge about Glorian as a whole.

So I'm looking into builds for my character in Dragons, Aurora specifically and with Avowed (Self) | Brutal Stalker I can gain Strength to AC twice. Now the idea was that she's going to be incredibly strong, physically, with a straightforward approach and the belief that if she charges at her problems with enough determination and raw power that she can achieve anything. The question here is, would that be too cheesy? The doublestrength thing wouldn't properly kick in till Level 6 and if being strong is very much her thing I'd really like to invest very heavily into strength.

The other route I would go would be Aurora Soul so I'd be getting Strength and Wisdom to AC instead, which would be slightly weaker and change the concept a little.

>>51922527
One point of defense. Sorcerrors can get wisdom as a casting stat

Understood, no more shilling until the game starts next week, if any of you want more people to submit apps you'll have to do it yourself, but I'll still be here to answer questions if you have any.

Also I just realized something about momma dragon from Dragons, Dragons, and more Dragons, she's essentially right now the Pathfinder equivalent of Big Mom from One Piece, and I find that hilarious.

>>51922444
What did he do before coming to the Demesne other than be a Librarian?
What or who the hell is "The Lionheart" and why does a god of arcane knowledge have love as a domain?
Why bother even mentioning him if you're just performing some sort of divine cuckolding and serving Dragon Mama instead?
If you want the same feel for promoting upcoming gods, go Shaman and reflavor the wandering spirit or w/e it's called.

>>51922680
Bridget disagrees!

>>51922696

>>51922533
Self Avowed and Brutal Stalker is basically the brain dead Strength SAD. Strength to AC and Reflex twice, and Will and Fort once.

Well, I suppose the sensible thing to do is run the numbers and see if the result is overpowered. I feel like this fits thematically and ultimately it means that outside of combat she's going to be relatively limited to... well, lifting things and then putting them down elsewhere. I could eventually branch out a little more as she develops as a person, maybe retrain but... how to put this.

It feels cheesy to me, but the question is, if the end result isn't that much better than anyone else is it actually a problem? Do people feel that it's the sort of thing that will just rub people the wrong way regardless of the end result?

Name: Ezekiel Stonestride
Race: Human
Sex: Yes Male
Class: Kineticist/Fighter
Backstory: Ezekiel was an orphan from a Nexian port town. Hearing of the amazing exploits of Jalmeray's martial arts schools, he sought to become like them. When his caretaker died, Ezekiel, at the age of 14, sold all of his material possessions save for the clothes on his back, and bought passage to Jalmeray. There, he pestered and begged for an audience to at least attempt the tests for one of the Houses of Perfection. After one year of begging, the houses relented, letting the child try the test. Predictably, he failed. Despite being able to tail the Djinni for many miles, he could never pass it. Despite holding his ground against the Shaitan and not folding under pressure, he could not subdue it. And, despite withstanding the Efreeti's jabs, he could not best it. However, after being thrown out, he was approached by a Brutalist, a vudrani martial art that forsakes grace and wisdom for resolve and strength, infamous for the practice of taking drugs to enhance their bodies. He was accepted as the student of this Brutalist. There, he trained for five years, until during one sparring match, he was disarmed. Undeterred, he began an onslaught with his fists, driving his master into a corner, and breaking his wooden blade into a thousand pieces. The day afterwards, he was gifted a steel saber, and his master declared that Ezekiel was ready, and should go out into the world to seek his own fortune.

Three years of traveling later, he crossed the deserts of Thuvia on bare, calloused feet. After thirty-one days of wandering the deserts, convinced he was lost but not resigning himself to death, he stumbled upon a grand oasis within the desert. Proclaiming that it must have been divine intervention itself, he happily drank from the water, and sought shade in a nearby cave, where a strange curiosity overtook him, making him delve deeper in. 1/2

>>51922018
I've added some weird definitions of the word demon to my stories. The demon I had in my last campaign was based on the ancient Greek concept of daemonos, (it has a wikipedia article under 'demon' disambiguation ) and he was the nicest person in the world. He had infinite power within a physical space defined by a piece of divinely-enchanted stone beneath his feet.

>>51923050
2/2 He eventually came out upon a ledge, whereupon he saw the Demesne, and, thinking that he had died and this was some strange afterlife, he laughed, and fainted, his unconscious body tumbling off the ledge and down into the water below, the man miraculously falling near a recreational boat. After awakening in the city, getting his bearings, and realizing he wasn't dead, and he /was/ in fact within a city that looked like paradise, he laughed, and declared the city where he would build his new school of Brutalism. The only problem was that he had no material possessions, and no capital, with which to build the school with. Declaring that he would now serve the city, enamored by its natural beauty and the heritage of its citizens, he sought work and money, willing to do anything and /everything/ for the citizenry, to build towards his aspirations to become a teacher of martial arts.

Okay in regard to the first bit...That does need answering.
The second. The Idea was kind of that it was basically a lecherous wizard that hit the diety jackpot. Third...you kind of answered that somewhat yourself?
4th I'm just not really comfortable with that class. I've not played a cleric in something like eight years and I'm playing a sorc because well you say dragon I think of sorcerers

I do appreciate the genuine critique and I'll improve my app to reflect it

...and apparently I got a temp ban for making a joke post.

>>51923173
I wonder what causes this divergence. Were the teams arranged this way by chance? On purpose? Does the DM just run a cleaner game on Saturday after getting polished on Friday? Does each game develop an influential player that leads everyone in a direction?

>>51923166
>>51923173

There better be a pastebin of that encounter, I tell you what.

>>51923213
I'm not entirely sure myself. SotJR sounds like they got pushed a bit harder to go one way, maybe they had some OOC knowledge of where to go.

>>51923238
I think it's because Friday's game has more people-who-are-friends-with-each-other-OOC-already, whereas Saturday's game just has people who are in a party together.

Far as I know there's literally no benefit to using them and a ton of weaknesses.

>>51923481
Depends on the creativity of your GM, my group ends up using it a lot in mid-level campaigns because it's a hilariously brutal spell that isn't even evil-aligned, and the best part is that if you hit someone with it twice it stacks with itself for the purposes of causing exhaustion on the poor fool getting struck with it.

What I really need help with is the actual build itself. The only thing I've got down right now is Roil Dancer/Kinetic Knight Kineticist on one side, and Mutation Warrior Fighter on the other. I can't decide between sword and board, TWFing with kinetic blades, TWFing with a fancy sword and a kinetic blade, or something else. Also, would a Kinetic Knight with Artful Dodge allow for using Constitution to meet prereqs for TWFing? I feel like it would.

Bone is fragile and cheap. If you have a sunder build based around shattering your own weapons for crits or extra damage, they're good there. Or hell, make bone ammo on the cheap and renewable side if you have Survival or Craft!

>>51923539

The queen has .00036% of Tiamat's godly essence inside of her. She found it one day. Also There's probably a goblin or two in the Demesne, though they're kinda not common. Kobolds are more common, Specifically The Short-tail Kobold clans.

Common person in the draconic community, they may know OF her, probably from someone who's bedded her in the past, but those were typically one night stands.

Having to keep track of every last piece of parchment you may be carrying on you at any given time in an attempt to keep from having to go above a heavy load is tedious and ruins a lot of the fun I want to see in combat.

First and foremost. You don't pay for things. Everyone's family there, so you owe people favors. Very few people actually require something physical in exchange for services (Typically those who deal with outsiders on the regular, or travel a lot.), Typically those are precious gems.

Secondly, There's not a whole lot of call for toil, but craftsmanship and artistry is praised.

Thirdly, There is a growing sport in The Demesne. Ulama. Its a sport where you essentially play basketball using only your legs, hips and butt. Invented by the Short-tail kobolds that live in the demesne. There's no offical leagues or anything, but kids play it alot. and some adults pass the time with it too.

>>51923264
I'd say it's because the character personalities are more conducive to heroics, rather than random fucking.

Half the party has "wants to be a hero" as part of their backstory.

>>51924028
But ritual sacrifice is fun. Especially when it involves Snu-Snu.

Dragon Game 2 folks- any thoughts on Ezekiel Stonestride? I just learned that Kinetic Knight requires using a Shield to get their elemental defense, which /sucks/. But, there are ways around it. Anybody got a link to the feat that lets you use a buckler while TWF without suffering the -1 to hit? Ezekiel's a Fighter gestalt so feats shouldn't be an issue, and I'm HOPING to get Kineticists of Poryphyra approved so that I can make use of some of the items in there to patch up the build.

So how is everyone here getting into pathfinder groups? Do yall so it online?

>>51924071
Hell's Vengeance and Strange Aeons aren't really worth noting at all based on my reads, but I haven't played them personally. Seems like a functional evil campaign and a functional mythos campaign respectively, without either really impressing in any regard.

Ironfang Invasion looks like it might actually turn out pretty solid though, based off what little we have to go off of.

>>51923965
Nice, that should be just about perfect for what I want to do.

WotR applications have closed.

Would it be too revealing to ask how the players are getting drafted into being the Queen's agents? I want to play a character that's a bit more of an artisan and while they're still martially capable thanks to being a dragon, most people seem be more militant characters. I don't want to submit a character that isn't likely to be "chosen" by the Queen.

>>51924517
I made her this morning.... Her name is Skully. And surprisingly enough, for anow n dead waifu, she's rather humorous.

Allright, I apparently haven't been memeing my character hard enough, so I'm dumping my story for you guys to rip into.

Name: Errakus
Race: Taninim (magma, sagely, lung)
Gender: Male
Class: Oracle (Time mystery, Draconic Hero, White Worm Apostate)||Guide (Gonzo 2)

Backstory: When Errakus hatched, nobody expected to see what came out: a shriveled, worm like creature devoid of fangs, wings or claws, yet steaming with an internal heat. This hatchling was corrupted, likely by Dahak, or possibly something more esoteric, like Ythrodius, the Ravager Worm. Such a matter was taken before the queen herself, as it was of her brood and could be taken as a most ill of omen. A gleam of inspiration sparkled in her ten eyes for the first time in centuries, as she made her decision, not to exterminate, but to protect.

Naturally, the hatchery maidens and midwives were confused. To allow something this dark to live, even if it were to become a Paragon of justice, would eventually cause the Demense to crumble from its mere presence. But Queen Culdranth had a plan for this child, one even she wasn't entirely sure of yet, but would be obvious when the time was right. She granted it a new form, a glowing ball of light, and told the newly named Errakus to stay that way, only revealing himself when circumstances were at their direst. Afterwards, she returned to her sleep, content with her work.

(1/2?)

>>51924749

To say Errakus's formative years were "rocky" was an understatement of the highest calibur. Being as small as a fey hatchling, but lacking the limbs to lift or move anything led to him having to attach himself to others and have them assist him in everyday tasks, something that felt parasitic and demeaning. Over time, he came to realize his bauble form (as he'd taken to calling it) had its own share of advantages, like high maneuverability and a rock hard shell (which made running into walls FAR less painful!) And when the queen called him into her chambers for the first time in over fifty years, he was overjoyed at the prospect of finally being able to be of use to her.

Personality: Errakus is jumpy and overreacting, an outlook forged over decades of living in a body that feels too small and weak. His mood can change like the wind, from cheerful and inquisitive, to dark and morose, and any shade in between. The fact that he often feels like a burden, combined with the looks and stares he gets from those who remember his hatching have bred the seeds of self-doubt deep into his psyche. He barely knows what his true draconic form looks like, but keeps himself concealed so that his mother would not be disappointed with her decision to spare him. At his core, Errakus is desperate to prove his worth.

>>51924834
Sad.. should have dms that work with ya. Could have at least tried to make it a better experience. Sorry to hear about that.

>>51924865
Shattered star. Good luck. A player asked if they should know anything else before they depart and the DM immediately timeskipped us through an entire voyage telling us we had arrived. You might have better luck, he seemed to have it out for me since he skipped my turn in combat twice and tried to do a third time until I just kinda forced my way into it. Also got straight up ignored something like 8 times, mentioning it OOC and IC didn't seem to stop it form happening. "Oh hey, an incredibly rare magical artifact of extreme historical significance? You mean the thing that literally every element of my backstory is crafted around getting, half my features are about identifying, and all of my short and long term goals relate to? Could I have a look at it?" But no, Just ignore me asking for it, hand it to another player who didn't ask for it, and then tell me off for even attempting a Knowledge History check because apparently another player is supposed to be the only one who knows that, and I was "chosen to be an expert in the planes for the group", a skill I have 0 ranks in.

It wouldn't have been so bad if little things like this didn't come up literally every time I spoke or declared an action.

>>51924923
Sadly, it didn't happen that way.

>>51924976

To be fair, I didn't hear a warning at all. I don't really lurk here, just pop in once or twice a week and skim the thread. Thanks for trying, though.

>>51924834
Its not from here anon, the GM just likes to namedrop /tg/ in his games and pretend like this is some sort of club that gives you a membership card for lurking.

Why do you think his campaigns are always hemorrhaging players as it makes weekly trips to lfgs?

>>51925040
Didn't know any of that. Like I said I only pop in here sometimes. I just happened to see the link to his campaign one of the times I came by.

>>51924976

>>51925098
Honestly, this was the first group I tried joining that wasn't 100% comprised of people I knew in person and was already friends with. I just happened to see a link dropped here and decided to try it out. It was run so poorly, it's almost making me want to run my own game, but I can't really commit to a regular schedule with my work schedule.

It was more in the way he wanted it handled. Wanted a written and formal apology from someone for something that literally no one but him cared about, when we were all just trying to finalize characters and get ready for game.

Even nazis don't want to talk politics ALL the time.

Why use a falchion when a naginata is objectively better?

>>51925731
In many or most cases, a full x4 crit is wasted. You theoretically get more damage per hit, but enemies only have a set amount of hit points. Scoring multiple crits is slightly better when you account for overkill.

>>51925623
>>51925606
Actually, this is a case of the left and right both being far too quick to blame each-other; a deliberately trained reflex by those who most benefit from keeping them at each-other's throats (notably the companies that own said left and right politicians).

In reality, the whole "gender identity" stuff pisses off similar amounts of people on the entire spectrum.

One engineer I know is on the far left, but he sees "I should be able to identify as what I want" and sees it as "I want to lie and for you to be in the wrong if you don't believe it". To him - and he's explained it a *lot*, wanting to be something is perfectly fine, but standing there with your dick in hand and demanding everyone call it a vagina is nothing but lies, deception and shit-stirring. Want to be what you want to be, and "post-op we can let slide", but calling a chair a traffic-light and demanding those who call bullshit be censored makes you the vilest sort of scum.

I also have an uncle who's just the opposite; far as he's concerned "call me missus" is no different from "my friends call me bob". At the same time he believes hillary's russian hackers are the ones that stopped president trump from building the wall before november 2016, and that obama let 9/11 happen because he's a sunni muslim.

>>51925731
Naginata doesn't do the same job as a falchion, 4x crit might be unnecessary and a higher range lets you get more mileage out of any features or feats that key off of crit.

I assume you actually meant nodachi though which is just a falchion with a better, if more swingy hit-die. Nodachi is an eastern weapon though, and in terms of flavour, though falchions can get kind of questionable already, it can be really weird to explain why the hell your character walks around with a nodachi somewhere that they're uncommon. Mechanically, there is the benefit where you may be more likely to stumble across magical falchions than nodachi and your weapon related feats will benefit it.

Nodachis are mostly for minmaxers whose DMs don't keep in line. I don't think it's even common for people to take them for weeb reasons.

>>51925791
Oh yeah the first guy is also a bit of a grammar-nazi and I'm wondering if maybe the two things are actually related.

>>51925800
Christ, yeah I meant the nodachi. I'm a turboweeb but I still manage to mix their names up.

>>51925731
Assuming you meant nodachi rather than naginata, there isn't much reason to. In some settings having a falchion is easier to justify, and that's about it.

>>51925818
After giving it some more thought, I definitely think that falchions being more common is a significant reason to consider them over nodachi though. I mean granted, a lot of DMs will tailor gear rewards to suit the players and they're definitely not wrong for it, and enchanting is always an option when loot tables don't pay out, but ultimately a nodachi is only averaging 5.5 and a falchion is averaging 5 flat, which isn't much of a difference for what's likely a more reliable weapon in a game where you don't have information going in.

In addition to this, less swingy dice dice tend to be better. It sounds like a d10 beats 2d4 at early levels when weapon ranges are still relevant, but assuming you're attacking with a +9 modifier between 16 strength and power attack, hitting your averages consistently should be much more desirable than hitting your highs because it's unlikely enemies who'd survive a reliable 14 early will die to a less reliable 19. I'd recommend falchion over a nodachi for most players.

I gave this way more thought than I expected to.

>>51925791
>At risk of starting something I don't want to

>>51925928
It's not a risk if there's no chance of it ever happening?

>>51925898
The thing is, the only weapons a loot table will ever have are daggers, longswords, and longbows. Nothing else is ever represented in any serious sense.

>>51925898
Something else to consider is size increases. When you're under the effects of Enlarge Person or something, the nodachi jumps to 2d8 while the falchion only goes up to 2d6. Depends on how often you actually use effects like that, but 2 damage is a reasonably big difference.

Another minor advantage of the nodachi is that it is in both the heavy blade and polearm fighter weapon groups. How useful that is debatable, but it's certainly not a downside.

>>51925898
>>51925980
Nodachi being a polearm means it works with Piercing Thunder, and it works with Shield Brace. It also has piercing damage for those rare DRs, as well as for underwater combat (Before having FoM, non-piercing weapons only do half damage while underwater).

>>51922212
Question about the game. Took a look at feats and stuff. Are all the dragonborn feats taken from somewhere or made yourself ? Cause it seems a little odd that the basic +1 to caster level needs a bab of +6 to take. I.e level 12 for casters. Or things like vestigial wings having the same thing when kobolds can get it as a starting race feature without spending a feat on it, etc. Vestigial wings was a level 3 feat in 3.5 and that game had an even worse feat tax than pf. Is this intended to have such steep prereqs?

>>51922212
If people gave a shit about your game it would be frequently discussed without actually having to prompt it yourself.

You know who else aggressively shilled his game? Espagnoll from Shattered star, and look how it turned out.

The cleric and paladin clsssically got along the best. The witch and paladin seem to be getting along better and better. The warpriestess and the rogue get along only insofar as they bond over being verbally abusive and unhelpful. In general, with the exception of the warpriestess, everyone is pretty courteous, at the very least, or downright friendly at best.

>>51922610

Real reason for the divergence is the fact that Saturday group found a glass marble in the crypt and Friday didn't (even with a perception roll of 30).
So Saturday had a tip to go to the glassworks and Friday was stuck on zero clues and went to the beach.

>>51927601

The funniest part of this divergence is that the mission actually has a timer, if the party does not rescue Ameiko in time than she is sacrificed, meaning Jade Regent must be done with Amaya.

>>51927601
So was it that hard to find, they searched in the wrong place or did the GM just railroad them to different outcome?

>>51927652
No idea.

GM sounds like they would have preferred the reduced workload from having the two groups aligned though.

Alright, so for any it may concern, Dragon Princes and Princesses no longer have a cooldown on their breath weapon.

If you don't spend the feats on it, it's not that practical beyond level 1-2, and if you do spend the feats, then you deserve to not have an arbitrary cooldown. You're cashing in Stamina to make it work even that well anyway.

How to i go full weeb /pfg/?

>>51928516
Play L5R

>>51928516
To my knowledge, the Kensai is still a thing.

>>51927989
How does the demense handle dragons that like different climates? Like cold type dragons would be plenty comfortable in a glacial area but the demense is mostly tropical

>>51928608

There are pleasently cool areas in the lower portions of the Demesne

>>51928630
For Draconic Essence are we locked into the given examples for Draconic Exemplar? Like I'd want to be White Dragon but Paranoid doesn't fit so well as Vain or Power-Hungry

>>51928608
Isn't endure elements a level 1 spell?

>>51928744
Alignment restriction was lowered, but the package is otherwise as-is. At least that's how it was for us.

So you don't HAVE to be CE but that combo of energy type, dragon type (your heritage really; since it's actually really minor) and the compulsion remain intact.

For example, Atolm is Neutral and has 'Vain'

>>51928748
Well just because you can handle hot weather doesn't mean a cold dragon doesn't wanna cool off laying in some snow! Like with huskies.

>>51928630
I have a question for dragon DM! Can I start a martial arts school to spread the values of being physically fit, disciplined, and standing up for oneself in the Demesne? What would the residents think of it? Can I show them my awesome Kung Fu powers?

>>51928764
We'll I wanted her to be NE White Dragon but paranoid just doesn't fit so well in my mind

>>51928799
there *is* an arena master.
and some fit girls would be a nice change of pace; everyone's walking around all chubby!

>>51928810
doesn't it?

White dragons are often known for their... subpar intellect. They're still fully sentient and can eventually become smarter than the average human, but that also means they spend at least their adult life onwards KNOWING that they're smaller and dumber than most of their cousins.

When you know dragons take the long view and like to scheme and use minions, it's easy to worry more and more that you are being played...

>mfw I come up with a cool concept for dragon game but I'm too spaghetti to ever post a sheet

>>51928825
Awwww yea!

Also, another question that could make or break Ezekiel's build: do I absolutely need to attune to a shield (with kinetic knight) to gain my elemental defense, or can I attune to a weapon and still gain the benefits of the elemental defense? I know it's probably not optimal- TWFing using a kinetic blade and an actual blade, sometimes switching to using fists- but kinetic knight works great for the build and synergizes nicely with Roil Dancer.

Second important question: kinetic knight let's you use Constitution instead of intelligence to meet feat prereqs. Artful dodge lets you use int instead of Dex to meet prereqs. If I take artful dodger, could I therefore use Constitution instead of intelligence and dexterity for meeting prereqs? I've done a bunch of Dex-based before and I'm getting tired of it: being able to use Constitution to qualify for TWF would be great

>>51928838
While true and I wanted her to be a loveable dummy paranoid implies feeling threatened which doesn't seem like it'd be a factor in the demense.

>>51924169
>>51925404

I want McCree-chan to win!

>>51928908
I believe you cannot transfer prereqs like that.

You can use INT instead of DEX for those that apply there (I don't recall artful dodger directly, but the replacements are often a particular subset like "for two-weapon-fighting feats" like prodigious TWF or whatever it's called does with strength), and CON instead of INT for those that apply there, but most likely not CON instead of DEX.

>>51929042
Fiddlesticks. Guess I'm taking Prodigious TWF then instead of artful dodge. Still, it's just a single feat, and I've got bunches of them. The question still stands about Kinetic Knight and attuning to a weapon or suit of armor instead of a shield, because I really hate using shields and it doesn't fit the character.

>>51929091
Kinetic Knights don't attune to weapons. They just don't. The ability is "a specific light or heavy shield" for the day.

In fact if you look; it doesn't prevent them from using gather power, and they get bonuses for kinetic blade and whip.

In other words, you attune for a shield and your weapon is still your kinetic blasts.

Should I get a Deep Crystal weapon, or just use the Psionic Weapon power? Or do they stack?

>>51929130
They still have to wield it to get their elemental defense, right? It matters more if I go Geokineticist or hydrokineticist, because they have better elemental defenses, but if I swap to Aerokineticist Elemental Scion (so that I can TWF with a conductive longsword zapping people and a blade made of coiling air in my other hand) then it matters less because air has a trash defense. I might just have to bite the bullet here and cut my losses by moving over to Aerokineticist.

>>51927601
>>51927652
>>51927661
Doesn't someone in Friday group WORK THERE? Like, hell, he's probably going to want to go back to work soon anyway. Or is that metagaming?

So guys, what diety would have issue with someone cheating death by reincarnating indefinitely?

>>51922086
Ok, but some of these are just completely forgotten. When was the last time you saw someone using kytons, demodands or aeons? They are just... there.

>>51929194
I think Pharasma would.

>>51929161
They stack.

>>51929165
Yes; that AND be wearing heavy armor. Your elemental defense only comes online at level 4 and only functions while you have heavy armor and an attuned shield.

By the way, though... you COULD conductive through shield-spikes... You need all hands free for gather power, the attuned shield just itself gets to bypass that; holding another weapon would let you fire off blasts, but you wouldn't be able to gather power; and it doesn't scale too well if you're not upping burn costs.

It's not necessarily good or bad, you can build either way, but it's something to take into account as you do.

>>51929194
There are Inevitables whose job is specifically to destroy people like that.

>>51929218
Cool. And Deep Crystal only increases the cost of a weapon by 1000GP.

>>51929219
There's an item in KoP 2 (dragon DM approved) that allows for wielding an item and still gathering power. I guess that's gonna be on my list of priorities to acquire, because it would allow me to actually be able to TWF with a conductive longsword and a kinetic blade (like I said, not the most optimal strategy but it would be cool)

>>51928149

I don't know what I want more.

Going north to fight Fafnheir and become the big dick of big dick Linnorm Kings, or go South as a swarthy Thuvian and forge an empire in the lands that spawned civilization!

>>51929197
I like Kytons

>>51929235
I thought they were just for literal invulnerability and immortality?

>>51928917

Give her Unlearned or maybe Doubt. She's a big dumbie that everyone loves, but when someone calls her out on being kinda slow it just carves into her very being.

>>51929516
Avoiding your rightful death is a form of death avoidance that inevitables frown upon, especially when you're using magic to do it.

>>51929516
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/outsiders/inevitable/inevitable-marut/
> Extraordinary but natural means of cheating death are sometimes also punished, such as the magistrate who murders an entire starving town to save himself, or those who foresee their own deaths via divination magic and are therefore able to avoid them

Inevitables are sort of dicks ya.

>>51928838

interestingly, The Queen herself USED to be a White dragon. A very studious one at that. then she became what she is now.

>>51929594
I wonder if that will become plot important....

>>51929575
So youre saying that as soon as Marduk reincarnates and stops being an ancient gold dragon, a cr 15 inevitable will show up and wreck both of us

Thats harsh

>>51929909
Might show up.

Same chance as a serial killer showing up at your door right right now with a machete and butchering you before you can finish typing a snarky reply.

It could happen, yes. But it's unlikely.

>>51929909
Yeah, if the Inevitable happens to find out about the circumstances. The world's a pretty big place though.

So, question: Ezekiel's build involves (using Prodigious)TWFing with a kinetic blade and a conductive longsword (at level 5). What maneuvers should I pick from Thrashing Dragon, Mithral Current, or E. Flux? The other side of the gestalt is Fighter, and with feat tax rules in effect I'll probably have enough feats to just take advanced study a bunch to get stuff I need, but at level 3, what maneuvers and stances do I want?

>>51929909
Cheat death enough times and, well, inevitably.
That's the joke.

>>51929518
I don't see those listed.

>>51929518
>>51930137

He's confusing Drawbacks with Draconic Essence Compulsions.

>>51930161
Ah. I guess I can work around paranoid. Make her paranoid that people don't like her or think she's dumb? I dunno.

>>51930188

Work it like this, She's not smart, she knows she's not smart. Other people know she's not smart. And she's been taken advantage of in the past. Or is constantly worried that someone is going to trick her.

Can still be the nicest, naive person around, but she still worries about these things.

>She's not smart, she knows she's not smart.

Something something can't outsmart bullet something something. Has insecurities, but has a some kind of system or problem-solving approach that makes up for her shortcomings (real or perceived). Becomes much less confident when forced to work outside of that system that works for her, and thus gets paranoid about situations where she might have to.

Basically, she solves problems with brawn, and she's good at that, but she really worries that one day she'll find a situation where brawn won't cut it.

Who the fuck is Marduk

>>51930542

Ancient gold dragon from one of the better apps to Dragon 2, guardian of his partner and hunting for Amrita before Edward Kelley gets to it first.

So have the devs said anything stupid recently?

>>51930628

I think we crossed a few franchises with that explanation.

>>51930232
How old would it make sense to make her? Taninim seem to start off as small and we're not gonna be level 5 so that implies she has to be wyrmling?

>>51930728
The thing about Taninim is that they age via experience not by actual age.

And all of The Queen's children are technically mutants.

If we go by technicalities your character should reach playable age at 60.

But honestly you can have a playable character as young as ten if you wanted.

Rolled 1, 1 = 2 (2d10)

>>51930756
>as young as ten
And now I know what age to make my char look.

Also, where did you want us to roll for HP? Would here suffice? Like could I use this roll for my HP and call it good? Or did you want us to roll somewhere specific?

>>51930628
Shit man, i posted the app and even Im confused by that description

Thanks though

>>51930859

really, i'd rather you just assume full hp for first, then half untill the game starts. When the game starts we'll roll for real

>>51930904
Okay. Here's hoping I make it in.

>>51930756
Well I want her Thicc so I'd prefer the older edge of the spectrum.

>>51930989

You want a mom bod? That's not hard, just be a mid 40s woman that's had a couple kids.

>>51931022
She's a dragon, anon.

>>51931043

And?

>>51931043

And Dragons don't have breasts either, yet here we are.

Hey SE, how do you feel about characters crafting their own stuff?

How much of a discount could it provide at character creation, how much of a benefit will it be in-game?

>>51931107
>>51931194
So it'd be a couple dozen kids. Dragons lay eggs after all.

>>51931229

Ahhh, generally i dont like people crafting things prior to game. Unless that's essential to your character ala Artisan class or some such.

Talk with me about it in the LFG, we'll hash something out.

So.

Thinking I might retool a character I once submitted to dragon game (the first time around) as basically a demesne-dwelling bancho--complete with the outfit.

I've got most of what I want in mind already (including plenty of skill points in stuff like sewing and cooking to contrast with the tough guy image), but what say you on this, /pfg/?

Should this draconic delinquent be a man or a woman?

Damn it, i was right in the middle of making one too! At least this one is decent.

>>51931989
Who is this character anyway? Besides a touhou. I just recognize him/her a doujin where they have a giant dong

>>51932474
Mokou. Phoenix motif.

>>51932474
A phoenix, I think. Or just someone who stole a phoenix's schtick/ate a phoenix to steal its powers.

But yeah, all touhous are female unless they're in doujins.

>>51932474
Mokou. I don't know enough about Touhou to understand why she's always portrayed as a bullying victim though. I always remember her as an immortal berserker for some reason.

>>51924834
One of the players copied the Chat Log from this game (Text Based) and the guy who dropped out is playing Zalat Mota. Whatever the DM did or has done, doesn't seem as bad as what the dropped player says happened (shocker) and seems to me like the dropped player is bitching about not being the most important snowflake in the game.

(Because he totally didn't read ahead and make a character that just so happens to fit perfectly into the role of the person who should get all the artifacts.
