First for Psionics Augmented: Psychic Warrior is a steaming pile of shit that makes the Psicrystals book look good.

I'm planning on playing a half-elf unchained rogue/barbarian in order to abuse the combination of finesse training and a two-handed finesse weapon

Should I go unchained barbarian or urban chained barbarian?

What can I do to make encounters more compatible vs pow classes?

>>51962253
I'd chain up your barbarian!

>>51962264
Give each group of enemy combatants a pool of basic maneuvers that they can all draw from, and activate once per set of rounds.

If you're feeling adventurous have an officer be Barking out commands to allow them to use the maneuvers. They kill him and the group can't do maneuvers any more.

Give monsters an appropriate single maneuver that they can do every round.

Job done.

Path of War deals VERY well with 'Large single hits' and 'Duelling another guy'.

The major weaknesses is that most of them don't deal particularly well with groups of foes or (For several levels at least) ranged multi-attacks.

A counter can stop a single arrow but it won't stop the others in the rapid shot and a group of a few lesser foes can do wonders at putting a Path of War guy down.

The major thing is that basically everything the path of war guy does eats his action economy. He has to use an immediate action to use his counter so he's defenceless against subsequent hits.

Give your NPCs a little Path of War. A well trained town guard can have a strike and a counter without too much investment and there is plenty of options for monsters if you are willing to go 'This monster fights like it's using X weapon' (Like an Axe style for a big claw attack monster)

>>51962283

Here is Psionics Augmented: Psychic Warrior:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kbzvu86mwfx5fok/Psionics%20Augmented%20-%20Psychic%20Warrior.pdf?dl=0

To be forthright, this is a rather boring product. It is missing the two actually interesting archetypes from the playtest, the pain sculptor and the silhouette.

All we are left with is the halo knight, the reaver, three paths, a disguise-based power that is not even on the psychic warrior list (I imagine it is for a reaver to poach?), three insultingly narrow psionic powers that only function on other animus-users.

Oh, and the layout of the PDF is permanently in a two-page spread. Forrest could stand to correct this.

This product is a disappointing disaster. Would anyone care to look it over for nonfunctional and/or ambiguous mechanics, like those present in Psionics Augmented: Psicrystals Expanded? This person >>51961419 >>51961617 has already pointed out some errors.

On the off-chance that you would like to legitimately purchase Psionics Augmented: Psychic Warrior regardless, you can wait until it appears on the Dreamscarred Press web store or DriveThruRPG. The former will give Dreamscarred Press the full cut of the sale.

I'd chain your barbarian in an urban environment!

Bear in mind that this is not always true. Boosts like Minute Hand (Riven Hourglass 1), Reflected Blade Style (Shattered Mirror 3), and Hour Hand (Riven Hourglass 5) can all generate additional attacks. Strikes like Flurry Strike (Broken Blade 1), Swift Claws (Thrashing Dragon 1), Rapid Strike (Riven Hourglass 2), the infamous Steel Flurry Strike (Broken Blade 3), and Rapid Current (Mithral Current 5) are all multiattacks.

A Steel Flurry Strike combined with a Reflected Blade Style is three attacks with +3d6 damage against two enemies, for a total of six attacks.

The Sense Motive strike line of Scarlet Throne is also painfully difficult to counter in the case of a zweihander (ordained defender, zweihander sentinel) who has raised their Sense Motive with traits like Thoughtful Wish-Maker and with items. Other Wisdom-based initiators, stalkers (vigilante), and bards (rubato) can have just as high Sense Motive.

>>51962386
I'd barbarian your urban environment in chains.

On the topic of the avowed, this is what is currently possible as a 5th-level avowed at the moment, under the context that both the Hellfire Talent feat and the betrothed's damage output are both to be downgraded.

Level: 5th
Race: Tiefling (Small size, prehensile tail, scaled skin, underworld guide)
Class: Avowed (any pact will do)

Key Ability Score: Dexterity 23 = base 18 + racial 2 + level advancement 1 + enhancement 2

Key Equipment: Belt of incredible dexterity +2 (4,000 gp)

Traits:
Combat: Reactionary
Race: Reborn (maenad)
Social: Student of Philosophy

Feats:
1st-level: Overcharge Modulation
Avowed 2: Point Blank Shot
3rd-level: Merciful Pulse
5th-level: Precise Shot

Shapes: Aether barrage ×3, one other shape depending on pact

Least Clauses: Dusk pulse, any four other least clauses

Initiative:
6 Dexterity modifier
+2 underworld guide
+2 Reactionary
Total: +10

Aether Barrage Attacks:
1 attack from BAB
1 attack from aether barrage
Total Attacks: 2

Range: 100 feet + 70 feet from caster level = 170 feet

Aether Barrage Attack Bonus:
3 BAB
+6 Dexterity modifier
+1 Small size
Total: +10/+10, targets touch AC, ignores wind walls

Aether Barrage Damage:
4d8 aether pulse with Merciful Pulse
+2d8 Overcharge Modulation
+6 Dexterity modifier
+2 maenad FCB
Total: 6d8+8 (average 35), ignores damage reduction, can deal lethal or nonlethal damage, does not actually have to go through spell resistance due to Overcharge Modulation

Initiative +10. The avowed launches two 170-foot ranged touch attacks at +10/+10, probably against flat-footed enemies. If both attacks are regular hits, that will result in an average of 70 damage, enough to kill a typical CR 6 depending on hit points:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E2-s8weiulPoBQjdI05LBzOUToyoZIdSsLKxHAvf8F8/edit#gid=3

None of this takes any prep time or resource expenditures at all.

Other highlights of the build include:
• Four other least clauses, which can be like hidden knowledge (+6 bonus to all Knowledge checks and make them untrained), sightseer (see in all darkness perfectly and see invisiblity), or silver tongue (+6 bonus to Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate checks)
• Whatever the pact actually gives, including an attunement, a sense, a bonus shape, and a 4th-level empowerment

The avowed is clearly still in need of adjustment, if this is what can be done as an avowed.

Potential targets for adjustment include the Merciful Pulse and Overcharge Modulation feats, the maenad FCB, and the aether barrage shape.

So does a Monks typeless Wis bonus to AC stack with a Stalkers Wis to bonus to Dodge AC? I know you can't add the same ability score to the same stat twice, but does them being different AC typing override this?

>>51962520
It'll be fine. You're not a horrible person just because you done one horrible thing.

If nothing else, just pretend. You're roleplaying a horrible person doing something horrible to these poor anons. But since it's all roleplay, no one's actually being hurt.

>>51962540
Untyped bonuses always stack.
Dodge bonuses always stack.

So as written, yes.

Many of Path of War's stances and maneuvers are heavily overpowered in the damage department, and you are likely to completely murder one or two PCs in a single round given the right maneuvers and stances. With this in mind, I would not recommend a full initiator as an enemy, unless you deliberately keep to low-damage maneuvers and stances.

It is generally a better idea to simply give monsters counters.

>>51962598
>you are likely to completely murder one or two PCs in a single round
That is acceptable.

They deserve it. You get out.

>>51962497
I started applying to games just to get in on /pfg/ memery with no actual intention of playing! You can too!

>>51962515
Don't. Don't go doubling/tripling HP.
If they realize their strikes don't work they'll fall back to the VERY OBVIOUS (as in even a newbie player will realize this is an option) of full-attack-boosting.

At that point you'll enter "my players are broken 1600 DPR at level 10 wtf pls nerf" territory because that shit will break your mind.

As for giving all the enemy forces a basic counter and strike; that's incredibly reasonable for a simple reason: You can get exactly that from a single feat (martial training 1). If there's initiating in the world, it's only natural that THAT would be what combat training includes.

It's all about action economy. Make them waste it with overkill (as I pointed out in previous thread a minute ago) and more targets. Be CAREFUL about adjacency: just like pouncing barbarians, two adjacent targets tend to die together. Flanking should be done on their turn as a strike-burning gambit or counter-stop, but just "okay two guys move over to you" means two guys dead.

Use tactics, use ranged openers, feints, anything to make the other guy waste his actions (just like the players should by all means be doing - and often do).

Basically, don't be the retarded computer RPG "AI" and everything will be okay.

In that case, given the gnoll's ability scores, you probably want a gnoll warder (ordained defender, zweihander sentinel) 9 or 10 with NPC wealth, depending on whether you want CR 10 or CR 11.

Be sure to take the Additional Traits feat and the Practiced Initiator trait (and possibly Unorthodox Method as well). Look into a martial tradition as well.

If you want the initiator to inexorably kill PCs, have them open up with a Power Attack + Furious Focus + Martial Charge + Discipline Mastery + Ruby Zenith Strike + Reflected Blade Style.

>Power Attack and Deadly Aim work with skill check maneuvers, penalizing the skill check in place of the attack roll. There were originally conflicting answers by accident (a miscommunication before we moved to a better way of handling team discussions), and on behalf of the rest of the PoW guys, sorry about that. Here's the FAQ answer on it. This one is the correct one.
Power Attack is compatible with Zenith Strikes.

To add to this, Primal Warrior Stance is a good stance to be in, particularly when paired with Powerful Build from the Mighty Frame feat; you might have to take a drawback for the Mixed Blood trait to qualify for Mighty Frame.

You can potentially wield a Large-sized lucerne hammer that deals 6d6 damage in Primal Warrior Stance.

It works for the wielder.

>When wrapped around the grip of a one-handed piercing or slashing melee weapon for 24 hours, the ribbon’s magic permanently merges with the weapon, reducing the attack roll penalty incurred by a wielder who is smaller than the weapon’s intended wielder by 2 (to a minimum penalty of 0).

It doesn't actually change a weapon's size category but it drops the penalty on them.

If you are speaking of Paizo's options, then I truly would not know, aside from tiefling random ability #16.

If you are speaking of Dreamscarred Press options, then that is the Powerful Build racial trait, which is given to the catfolk (lion), the dreige, the half-giant, the oggr, and possibly other races I have missed. Aegides can also gain Powerful Build through a customization.

The Mighty Frame feat from Bloodforge 1 confers Powerful Build.

>Mighty Frame [Heritage]
>You are extraordinarily strong for your size. Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +4, and dwarf, giant, or orc subtype and/or dragon, magical beast, or monstrous humanoid type.
>Benefits: You gain the powerful build special quality, which lets you function in many ways as if you were one size category larger.
>Whenever you are subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for a Combat Maneuver Bonus or Combat Maneuver Defense (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), you are treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to you.
>You are also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as grab or swallow whole) can affect you.
>You may use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, your space and reach remain those of a creature your actual size. The benefits of this ability stack with the effects of abilities, powers, and spells that change the subject’s size category.

The Mixed Blood trait from the new version of Bloodforge 1 and from Bloodforge: Infusions: Esoteric Energies can grant you a qualifying subtype.

>>51962807

DPR is irrelevant to such a build. Nova potential is what matters.

>>51962845
Ah. I thought it made weapons light mostly for twf purpouses.

Let us move on to an 8th-level version of this build. Yes, 8th-level, not 9th-level.

Level: 8th
Race: Tiefling (Small size, prehensile tail, scaled skin, underworld guide)
Class: Avowed (any pact will do)

Key Ability Score: Dexterity 24 = base 18 + racial 2 + level advancement 2 + enhancement 2

Equipment: Flawed orange prism ioun stone (25,000 gp), belt of incredible dexterity +2 (4,000 gp), cracked pale green prism ioun stone (4,000 gp); yes, this leaves the character with nothing left save for a 10 gp outfit, but the character can make do with their array of noncombat utility clauses

Traits:
Combat: Reactionary
Race: Reborn (maenad)
Social: Student of Philosophy

Feats:
1st-level: Overcharge Modulation
Avowed 2: Point Blank Shot
3rd-level: Merciful Pulse
5th-level: Precise Shot
7th-level: Steel's Betrayal

Shapes: Aether barrage ×4, aether retaliation, one other shape depending on pact

Least Clauses: Dusk pulse, any two other least clauses
Lesser Clauses: Any five lesser clauses

Initiative:
7 Dexterity modifier
+2 underworld guide
+2 Reactionary
Total: +11

Aether Barrage Attacks:
2 attacks from BAB
1 attack from aether barrage
Total Attacks: 3

Range: 100 feet + 110 feet from caster level = 210 feet

Aether Barrage Attack Bonus:
6 BAB
+7 Dexterity modifier
+1 Small size
+1 cracked pale green prism ioun stone
-6 Steel's Betrayal
Total: +9/+9/+4, targets touch AC, ignores wind walls

Aether Barrage Damage:
6d8 aether pulse with Merciful Pulse
+3d8 Overcharge Modulation
+7 Dexterity modifier
+4 maenad FCB
+12 Steel's Betrayal
Total: 9d8+23 (average 63.5), ignores damage reduction, can deal lethal or nonlethal damage, does not actually have to go through spell resistance due to Overcharge Modulation

Initiative +10. Three 210-foot ranged touch attacks at +9/+9/+4. There is a good chance that the avowed will be targeting flat-footed enemies, but let us ignore that for now.

Let us assume a monster with touch AC 12. What is the avowed's DPR against such a monster?
(((0.9 * 63.5) + (0.05 * 0.9 * 63.5)) * 2) + ((0.65 * 63.5) + (0.05 * 0.65 * 63.5)) = 163.35375
That is enough to kill a CR 12 on average.

None of this takes any prep time or resource expenditures at all.

Other highlights of the build include:
• Aether retaliation, a once-per-round aether pulse as an immediate reaction against anyone who makes a melee attack against the avowed
• Two other least clauses, which can be like hidden knowledge (+6 bonus to all Knowledge checks and make them untrained), sightseer (see in all darkness perfectly and see invisiblity), or silver tongue (+6 bonus to Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate checks)
• Five lesser clauses, which can be like airspace control (permanent concealment and aura of difficult terrain even for fliers) or fade from sight (at-will invisibility)
• Whatever the pact actually gives, including an attunement, a sense, a bonus shape, and a 4th-level empowerment, an 8th-level empowerment

Merciful Pulse, Overcharge Modulation, Steel's Betrayal, and the aether barrage shape itself are the components that allow an 8th-level avowed to outrageously one-turn-kill a CR 12 on average.

Okay lads. I'm in the process of making a Magus | URogue character and have to make a bit of a choice. Would I be better off taking a shortsword for the finesse training and getting piranha strike, or would it be worth it instead to spec into single-hand dueling sword usage?

Taldor Ascendant

Unchained barbarian is better. Ending rage doesn't have the risk of killing you if you're low, and you can get stances which are pretty good.

So, applying to Dragon Game 2 with Rory Karkus, the Brutal Slayer Stalker//Invuln. Rager Barbarian.

I'm still tinkering with his backstory. Should I have him be a complete mundane, or not? I haven't statted out or PLAYED a complete mundane in a long, LONG time, and kind of want to play without magic for a bit, just to see how it is!

Also, /pfg/, because the nature of both of his classes involves tearing into and just /savaging/ people, I'm thinking of averting him being generally bloodthirsty as a character. How's about him being an extremely nice person, but he is very clear that he has to deal with a "dark side" of his personality that comes out when he's stressed or in danger? In every other situation, he attempts to be calm or relaxed, and advocates a non-violent solution. I could even tie it in to his werewolf heritage as his more "bestial" side coming out and drawing him into fighting!

>>51963037
Thanks! Yeah I was referring to the balefire infusion. My question still stands, what is the point of making your typeless damage into irresistible fire? Or take burn to do so to the entire blast?

Also, the tgitp link is down for me. What was the nerf to the damnation feat?

I believe the damage type transformation is for use with modulations and Overcharge Modulation.

There is no Hellfire Talent downgrade yet, but it is apparently planned, as Taveena can tell you: >>51959630

>>51963150
As someone who wore the things for years, I can attest to this. Their only use is tensing your leg muscles to make your rear-end look perkier.

It's kind of like learning to use a bow vs a crossbow: High-Heels need additional training to compensate for their inherent flaws as foot-protection (which shoes usually are supposed to be), but the fact that they're harder to master in no way means that once you do you're better in them than you would be in steel-toed boots or running-shoes.

All that mastering it does is help you compensate for how awkward the damn things are.

>>51963378
Thank you. This helps me down the line with leveling up, should I be one of the lucky six.

Again, thank you.

By my understanding, they only stack if they dont come from the same source.

You can only one untyped bonus from a class feature, only one untyped bonus from a feat, spell, so on and so forth

>>51963894
You can still have multiple untyped bonuses TO the same stat, in that respect they stack. Just can't be from the same avenue

Thats' mostly correct; "like" untyped bonuses are also considered not to stack generally. Like, nominally, the avowed's not-divine-grace and a paladin's divine grace shouldn't be stacking.

In the case of the Anon asking if "AC bonus equal to Wisdom" and "Dodge AC bonus equal to Wisdom" stack, the answer is yes.

Untyped do not stack by default if they are from the same source, like an ability score.

>>51964077
For a long time they were NOT classified in any way however. Thus all the builds people would make that go "so this gives me my Wisdom to AC, my Wisdom to AC and Reflex, my Wisdom to AC and attack rolls, and my Wisdom to cock length and AC"

>>51964003

Warpriest + monk was great because it used to be great because notably the wis to ac did stack. Due to it being deflection and untyped respectively. Before they changed it.

>>51965094

Anon, I don't think you appreciate the significance of this. The scaling by caster level means an Avowed using Aether Channel does not have to enchant their weapon to get nifty abilities anymore, the magic touch continues into other weapons.

It's a downgrade for some, but to others it's a straight upgrade while imparting some seriously cool flavor.

>>51963309

Unchained Barbarian is better for direct combat, but you lose the direct ability score bonuses which buff your skills and saves. You still get the bonus +2 to Will saves, but you don't gain the bonus to Fortitude that you get from the increased Constitution score.

On top of that, since your bonuses to damage aren't based on your Strength score you don't get as much out of it in the case of wielding a two-handed weapon as the vanilla Barbarian does.

The decreased risk of fatality is an upside, for sure, but it makes Rage even more purely combat focused.

>>51965205
Just play a skinwalker or something and refluff.

>>51965350
I don't think you understand why it's bad.

Scaling is good in principle but implementing it as Greater Magic Fang means two things:
>Creates redundancy with any existing enhancement bonus (Such as the necessary +1 needed to put any special ability on it)
>Spell text explicitly says this enhancement bonus doesn't let the weapon overcome DR

Anon, you already get a massive damage boost from the magic damage, and you also get pounce, meaning DR is likely to be less of an issue (thanks to the sheet damage you dish out).

Anon, you're missing the part where GMW isn't impressive at all and aether blade now ends up being straight up better.

It's a shitty bandaid slapped on to tone down an ability that was, admittedly, borked in terms of what it can do. At the very least, they could have given it a copy paste of the Aether Blade version. Or just thrown in a clause "You don't gain iteratives from this."

>>51965596

>>51965596
>shitty bandaid
>cool support for having interesting weapons

>>51965566
You talking about mine? (Vorelira) I'm new to third party and whatnot.

>>51962521
We're actually fairly comfortable with those numbers - considering the effort you've put into optimization, those resources to take out a creature only one CR above you is fairly limited.

>>51963023
The main benefit of Balefire Infusion is not the typeless damage, but the free Empower effect you gain from it. The fire is primarily a callback to 3.5e's Hellfire Warlock prestige class, with burn being a more meaningful penalty than the easily recoverable Constitution damage.

>>51965094
As we've stated, we have plans for a class feature substitution for those who enjoyed playing a full BAB Avowed. That said, we needed to weaken Aether Channel, as its DPR was FAR too high compared to other shapes.

>>51965452
The redundancy with +1 weapons is an unfortunate consequence of Pathfinder's magic weapon system, but the most optimal choice from a numerical perspective was always to channel every enhancement beyond the initial +1 into special abilities, using spells (such as Align Weapon and Greater Magic Weapon) to get past damage reduction. Our intention was to make Aether Channel Avowed not need to rely on such effects for optimal DPR - that said, the unintuitive nature of Aether Channel's interaction with DR is clearly ripe for improvement. We'll discuss this.

>>51965682

Yeah draconic exemplar and scaled juggernaut are racial classes, and requir you to be a Taninim dragon. Though the idea of a Dragon Princess getting that class is very... titillating.

>>51965682
Maybe go for the SoP Shifter? You can get dragon forms, breath weapons, up to Colossal and judging by her name you might want swallow whole

>>51965691
Slight typo on my part; should have said "using spells (such as Align Weapon and Greater Magic Weapon) to make up for the drawbacks of a low enhancement bonus."

>>51965566
Sauce?

>>51965691
Honestly, it would have been better off being like a magus weapon enhancement to avoid this kind of bullshit, since then you could add flexibility. Maybe let people do that as a feat?

Naw naw, I'm saying Eagle intends to make the campaign around the geographic south of the Demesne, which is Garund and the Mwangi Expanse. People native to the region are likely encouraged and range from swarthy colonialists from Sargava to Amazonian warrior-women from Holomog with nipple rings.

>>51965933
Nation Pact's On My Command feels very much like a ribbon ability until it actually becomes using at 12th level.
It has very niche uses (like if you're not strictly part of the fight, an enemy has very high normal and touch AC, or you have an ally that hits hella hard with one attack) but it feels like it would only rarely ever be more useful than just... using any other shape at all you've invested in.

>>51965933
>>51966005
Actually now that I look closer, there's vagueness in the new 4th level ability too:
So you have an ally with 30 foot movespeed, and while they're within 60 feet of you, that speed becomes 40.

Can they keep moving if they start 30 feet away from you, move 30 feet further, and thus have moved their normal 30 foot speed the moment they go outside your ability range?

>>51965995
Bleh. Guess I'll make her something else. Maybe some sorta Barbarian or Bloodrager with something else. I dunno.

>>51966058
As a further update, the enhancement bonus granted by Aether Channel rank 2 now stacks with existing enhancement bonuses (to a maximum of +5) and allows you to bypass DR.

>>51966069
We'll work on clarifying that. For now, assume that a creature that spends any part of its turn within the radius of the effect has its movement speed increased until the beginning of its next turn.

It's shit as-is, but with enough work it could be turned into something fun for your group. It requires LOTS of retooling, though.

>>51966842
It's bad because it gives everyone the exact same progression. It fucks over martials because they can't spend their money to get what they need early.

It makes certain builds simply impossible. TWF becomes next to impossible, firearms, crossbows, thrown weapons, unarmed, and more become far more difficult.

Basically it was a good thought with very poor execution that bum fucks martials something fierce.

Might I ask exactly how it janks martials and if so at what level you're making this assumption, since from what I'm seeing all it's doing is lowering the amount of money and negating the magical items you'd be getting anyway 99% of the time in favor literally anything else, and just giving you those bonuses inherently while still allowing for other stuff to be bought.

If anything that seems like a weight off of martial's shoulders since they're so heavily reliant on money to boost their stats that if they play with a GM who is usually underproviding on the wealth this would work out much better.

... Then again this is /pfg/ so maybe that's not an issue any of you ever run into.

>>51968228
>Any magic weapon a martial does pick up completely fucks over the innate bonuses they get (a flaming keen longsword WILL disable your innate +2)
>it heavily favors certain builds over others (want to be a twf? get fucked bitch)
>if you don't use a weapon at all you have this shit just sitting there being worthless
>progression is slow as fuck, and the inability to pick which things you want to focus on/ignore entirely just make the whole thing janky for martials (mental bonuses before physical, for example)

Off the top of my head. It can work for you, but the rules as-written are fucking retarded and require you to really work on them if you want them to be remotely fair for everyone involved.

>>51968144
Dragon DM, Dragon DM! Why is the Dragon Royalty breath weapon based on Charisma for its DC instead of Constitution like every other breath weapon, including those used by actual True Dragons?

>>51968328
because we don't want unsexy dragons here!!!

>>51968228
Because what you get doesn't make up for what you lose, and a caster only truly needs his +casting stat item, and the progression gives mental bonuses BEFORE physical ones. I believe the progression is also slower than what you would normally be getting if you were using your regular WBL.

Basically it's not a terrible idea, but the execution is terrible. Use it as a base for your own system, but don't use it as is. Even the creator said so.

>>51968347
But then you won't have THICC dragons anon!

Can a Heirloom Weapon (cestus) apply the +2 trait bonus to grapples?

>>51968141
The Wyvern will have better BAB and melee stats than you most of the time so its not like thats a bad thing.

>>51968129
Yeah, the original plan was to have one talent give Martial Training I-III, a second give IV-VI, and a third give 6/9 initiation. However, given the limited amount of talents available, and the fact that between having I-VI and 6/9 there's not a power gap but just a flexibility one, I chose to limit it to two talents so that talents aren't basically reduced to three.
Suggestions for alternatives would be appreciated, though.

>>51968228
>If anything that seems like a weight off of martial's shoulders since they're so heavily reliant on money to boost their stats that if they play with a GM who is usually underproviding on the wealth this would work out much better.
You're entirely wrong. As if the martial is at every level weaker than he would be with just WBL. Sure they are stronger than if they are playing with a GM that normally gives them nothing, but that isn't the issue. This vs. regular WBL makes several builds impossible because they rely on certain items early, makes it a single 'no choice' progression, and scales casters before martials.

It's a fuck you to martials.

This is a joke right? No GM would ever subject themselves to this

Assuming your goal was a functional party with all role bases covered, who would you pick for Dragongame 2?

What's the proper way to play as a Halfling Wizard? What spells are more suitable?

>>51968317
>>51968373
>>51968456
Hmm... In that case what about these alterations to make things a bit more even?

Weapon attunement applies to a type of weapon like with Weapon Focus, as opposed to one specific weapon as stated in the page. This helps with those who use multiple of the same weapon like throwers.
Levels that state specifically mental or physical boosts can be either one or the other, but if you choose one that level, the other level has to be the other kind. This gives both casters AND martials a chance to improve their best stat simultaneously while also being able to get a better stat in something else they'd normally like to have but wouldn't normally be able to afford next level.
Possibly bumping up the chart by a level? I don't know about anyone else, but I can't personally afford more than a Cloak of Resistance on top of everything else I usually buy by the time I get to level 3 so this is the one I'm most hesitant about doing.

All of this said, aren't the VAST majority of martials usually ones that would benefit from a mental stat boost in one way or another alongside a physical one anyway? Sure the Fighter and Barbarian are the only ones I can think of that, depending on your build can completely dump mentals in favor of going pure physical, but everything else from initiators to monks usually need some kind of mental stat as well as a physical one, and no stat outside of Cha will go to waste by putting points into it.

>>51968680
Some might, if they plan to run like 3-6 at a time. But then again, it's Roll20.

>>51968815
The problem at its root is having no control over your progression. I am still not seeing how your changes make it more appealing than just having WBL.

>>51968950
Eh I suppose, I do agree with the first paragraph, given that 90% of the characters I've ever seen made just buy stat boosters before anything else and never have the time or resources for anything interesting, but maybe that's just my group.

>>51968815
TBQH senpai, you're better off just taking all the potential bonuses you can get and converting them into "virtual WBL" that can be used to upgrade a character, with a soft limit on how high individual bonuses can go at a given level. IE: no, you cannot ignore everything else in favor of a +5 sword at level 8, you have to spread it around to resistances and such. That said, you shouldn't price ability score boosts as though they were "combo items" under this system, since that would be annoying as fuck for MAD classes and dumb since it's all slotless anyway.

It'd take some tuning, but it'd work better than what's there right now.

>>51968680

>>51969006
I just want to have characters who are stronger the further they go along on their adventure because THEY are stronger, not because they found a magical belt that grows their muscles. This is the closest I've found to that kind of system, so if I can find a way to get something like this to work that'd be great.

>>51969334
Grab Worlds of Power from the Trove.

It has a similar sort of thing, but as far as I can tell it's much better. It also doesn't fuck about with 'attunement' and shit, you just get a flat bonus to attacks and damage.

Let's say I'm a sorcerer and I want to cast Acid arrow on a goblin. The goblin is currently engaged in melee with another character. If I move up so I am adjacent to the creature and cast the spell (assuming I succeed on a defensive casting check(can you crit fail those?)) do I still get the -4 penalty for firing into melee?

>>51967922

>>51969475
They're only proficiency is with crossbows, so they should use those. Or acid splash

>>51969410
You should use acidic touch instead. I don't think you can crit fail on a concentration check.

While ideally I can find that song, my description is too vague, so I have given up. In the meantime, does anybody have any good songs that fit that description?

I'm playing a merchant in Dragon 2, and right now I'm using this song.

Yes. Wizards are the wild cards. They could cast buff spells on their allies, making them more difficult to defeat. They could fly and cast damage spells at range. They could alter the battlefield with stuff like Grease and Black Tentacles. Usually they focus on doing one of these per battle.

W-what. Literally all you know is that he's got 5 Wis, is a cat, and is somebody's butler. How is this enough to draw this kind of conclusio-who am I kidding, my total joke characters always end up well liked.

>>51969614
Depends entirely on if they can tell he is a wizard and how common magic users are. You run into the "Druid or Homeless" problem where a weedy nerd is either no threat at all or the biggest threat. If the enemies know anything about magic or magic users, which they would on a take 10 knowledge arcana check, they will know enough to know that magic is dangerous.

Remember that Adepts are an NPC class that can use magic, and a level 4 adept can cast scorching ray. So magic users are relatively common and dangerous, as adepts, in 3e make up .5% of the population. One in every 200 is a spell caster of some variety. Every major city provides spellcasting services in pathfinder. Magic is everywhere.

So the answer is, would the enemies take the chance that the weedy nerd is a wizard ready to cast fireball? Geeking the mage is a proper response.

I swear on me fuckin' mum if there's a boy's love reenactment of pic related someone's going to get a foot to the face

I'm a terrible person so I'm going to ask again!

So my character concept for dragon two games can be summed up thusly:
>one of the few dwarven families living under the Queen's rule
>family is famous as vault builders and bankers
>character is the prodigal son of the family, prodigy locksmith
>by day he makes locks and vaults as Rokar Chapman, respected artisan
>by night he is the notorious bank robber Snap Iron

The plan is for him to be a Vigilante as one half of his character build, if approved it's going to be the Night Terror vigilante. However now I am struggling on the other half of the character. How do I support being the greatest safe cracker/safe maker to ever live? Currently I am thinking of possibly combining it with rogue.

In a pinch I might go Hidden Blade Rogue + Alchemical Scoundrel Vigilante, as it provides all the things I need out of vigilante and the material for Hidden Blade and Alchemical Scoundrel are already approved.

Now something I have having a hard time with is the original reason my character became a safe cracker/bank robber/hoard thief. He would have a longstanding friend who was a dragon who got him into the business years ago. He and the dragon have known each other since they were both kids, the dragon now in the Juvenile or Young Adult age category and the character in his 50s. The two of them would have made a career out of robbery to increase the younger dragon's hoard and line the dwarf's pockets. By day they are partners in the Dwarf's vault making/locksmith business, by night they are partners in crime.
