Is there anything stopping a 5th-level character from creating a trompe l'oeil of a CR 30 creature, such as Nocticula?

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/templates/trompe-l-oeil-cr-1/

It would cost only Nocticula's HD 36 × 500 gp + 2,000 gp Medium = 20,000 gp to create.

Alternatively, such a construct could be purchased for Nocticula's HD 36 × 100 gp + 2,000 gp Medium = 5,600 gp. Surely, there is a typographical error here, and they meant "1,000 gp" as opposed to "100 gp"?

>>51988272
Hey, guys. After some fairly intense internal discussion, Forrest and I have sadly decided that Spirited Swordsmanship is going to be cut. It made the class far too single-attribute dependent, especially when combined with all the other things Charisma can be added to with further feat support. We know this is going to suck for a lot of people, and we, personally, were huge fans of the SAD playstyle, but it's proven to be impossible to balance. This should also make Self pact slightly less overwhelming, as they'll need to split their resources between their attacking/damaging stat and their casting/defensive stat, even with Altered Life.
Related to this, Aether Grasp will now be finessable, so as to avoid an unnecessary feat tax for dexterity builds wanting to dabble in it.

Further, we'll be reducing their damage dice to d6, like the Warlock, to try to rein in their numbers a bit. This also serves to weaken Overcharge Modulation and Merciful Pulse appropriately. How this will interact with Aspirant and Betrothed, we're not yet certain - but for reasons brought up earlier, we won't be reducing the damage dice to the awfully hard to acquire d3. We'll let you know what we work out, but we won't push this update live until we've sorted that out.

Finally, we'll be removing Steel's Betrayal for now from the document. While we love the concept, and hope to introduce something similar in the future, its current form is effectively damage with no penalty.

We're still discussing a lot of other changes, and these are all in flux - and thus, ripe for feedback. As always, we thank you for your feedback, and we are earnestly sorry for any builds we will be disrupting with these balance changes.

Of course. The novelty of it was the coupling of its versatility with extreme SADness, but those are the exact things that trigger "REEEEE AVOWED OP!!!" type reactions from most people. In the end this change was inevitable and people were inevitably going to get bored with what it became.
>>
>>51989611

I still think that a global downgrade is excessive; removing Steel's Betrayal temporarily was a good move, but letting Overcharge Modulation and Merciful Pulse stay is perhaps a mistake. Those two feats are *still* mandatory for any avowed who is serious about killing people.

What is to become of the aether barrage shape?

That still makes overcharge too good and a basic or worse-yet shapeless pulse too bad.

New Basic at level 12 would be 6d6
Blast @CL = 12d6 = 42 (only enough to kill CR4s that fail their saves).

Barrage = 3x 6d6 = 63. That's very low. Luckily it can get static bonuses, but if you have just +6 in the damage stat that's 81 damage. NOT impressive.

Overcharge remains necessary in order to do damage dealing, but at the same time, it's just costing a single feat. Too much for too little?
The above Barrage, Overcharged, is only doing 112. Still not a kill shot, and you'd still need two rounds for CRs 9-12 inclusive.
But, on the other hand, that's +31 damage from a single feat alone.

What I'm seeing here is a lack of 'warlock rods' and other such implements that even kineticists have access to. This allows WBL to get eaten up, and allows the actual firepower to go up a notch. All of the balancing is being done on the pulse value and the overcharge values themselves, making every small change a massive swing.

>>51989707
I think barrage is the one being checked with calculations so much because it's the non-weapon-using single target option. Practically the only one really for range right now, and it's got the biggest multipliers.

Overcharge modulation may be too much, BUT right now regular pulses AND barrages are both too little without it.

It's just making *too much* of a difference, as I'm sure you've noticed in your numbercrunching
>>
>>51989767
And because I'm an idiot who forgot to include it, Embodiment of Aether is also being removed for the same reason.

Wait what, Heart of Aether was the thing that gave Con to Attack/Damage, Heart of Magic just did class features. You're not making any sense. You cannot say you're "buffing Heart of Aether" when you are in fact just completely reworking it to be something entirely different.

>>51989873
You're a fucking moron. The only thing that works at 15 PB is things that need only one stat, like full casters. /25/ PB lets you play unoptimized characters, 15 PB lets you play optimized characters or dead characters.

>>I'm incapable of playing an unoptomized character!

Unless you're a wizard, then you only need to optimize slightly

It's up to the GM to balance an encounter towards the party's strengths and weaknesses. If your character gets gimped hard and has no chance of making it, it's more the fault of the GM than the player. (This isn't a constant though, for example one player could be overoptimizing and outshining all the others in every situation and the GM is forced to up encounter difficulty which subsequently wipes the party, all because one guy had to play optimized)

Nothing is constant, everything is everchanging, if you think in black and white you're a fucking retard.

If you're at 15 PB the party's strength is the wizard and its weakness is the fighter. So the GM's job is to balance the encounter towards the fighter being incompetent and the wizard being able to do things. Except that's a fucking terrible idea. How about working towards a closer to level playing field instead of saying "Aw Timmy, I know you've got no legs, but we're gonna make sure that you finish the race in the same exact time as Mister Bolt here."

Here is the updated version of Psionics Augmented: Psychic Warriors.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ld4mfulvbcllpe6/Psionics%20Augmented%20-%20Psychic%20Warrior.pdf?dl=0

The two-page spread has been fixed, and the concerns of >>51961419>>51961617 → have been addressed. Forrest's foreword was also removed, since it mentioned the silhouette archetype, which did not make it into the product.

If, for whatever reason, you appreciate Psionics Augmented: Psychic Warrior, be sure to purchase it on the Dreamscarred Press website when it appears there.

As well, here is the most up-to-date version of Dreamscarred Press's Monster Classes subscription:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ivfg2tuf19q0cyp/DRP2230_MonsterClassesSubscription.zip?dl=0
The latest monster classes are the harpy, the imp, and the medusa. Unfortunately, I cannot find anything outstanding about them, nor can I see anything particularly amazing about the new feats included with them.

Consider purchasing a subscription to Monster Classes if you enjoy the line:

If he were as good of a GM as you say he was, then he would have no problem building a campaign around people of standard pointbuy either, and would be more easilly willing to accomodate the players without sweating.

Really, the only reason why a DM as skilled as you say he is would force a 15pb, would be because he explicitly wants to dick over his players and force them into shitty railroad situation.

If not, then he's not as good as you imply he would be, and is using the 15pb as a means of restricting player build options because he's too afraid to actually put in effort to deal with competent PCs

Overall, the class is, at this point, overtuned. We certainly aren't nerfing it to unplayability, but the point of this class is to be /used/, and used in games alongside classes like the Inquisitor, Alchemist, Bard, and Vigilante on the Paizo side of things, and maybe stuff like (non-PoW) Soulknives, Psychic Warriors, and the like on the DSP side of things.

Everyone involved on the writing side of things really liked the SADness of the class initially, but in the end, we think that's one of the biggest roots of the problems with the class. We want to deliver a product that works for many different group styles and optimization levels, rather than one that warps the game around it, like the present playtest Avowed has proved to do.

HOWEVER, as many of you in this thread have pointed out, there's no quick and easy fix. We're making some changes to start with, but also stepping back and looking at stuff like, say, AoE damage being insufficient, lowered dice making some weapon shapes not super usable, and similar things.

>>51990034
>>51990208

We are aware, and have fluff in mind with it that's consistent with PF fluff as a whole. It wasn't gotten across well here, but I'd hold up and wait for the adjustments before judging it or don't, I'm not your boss.

>>51990175
I see no reasoning for extremely low point buy. It's not a matter of party vs. the world it's the party when compared to one another. Low point buy widens the gap between good and bad classes no matter what you do because class such as the fighter are more reliant on stats than full casters like the wizard. Without a few extra points a fighter can not afford enough int to have more than 2 skill ranks per level if he wants 16 strength.

Poor resources make the difference between the weak and the string wider. 15pb is lower than the system assumes you should function at.

This becomes even more pronounced if someone doesn't want to play an optimal race. A dwarf sorcerer or bard becomes essentially impossible for example because they can't afford the charisma, particularly a sorcerer who is reliant on spell DCs.

Really it is just restrictive for no good reason I haven't seen you present a good reason. Being able to make a campaign to accommodate it isn't a pro in its direction if anything it is an admission there is a problem.

This is probably true, I talked it over with the GM and we'll switch to 20 PB lvl 2 start.

Synopsis is that you're an semi-amnesiac in an old western style town with a hidden mystery about it. Anything else is literally spoilers. Guns are commonplace but you don't get them at start. (unless Gunslinger) though not every bad guy is gonna use them, even with the option. Guns are revolvers level tech...but 'magic' with magic instead of gunpowder. Races are unrestricted on a case-by-case basis but if you play something outside of core expect to be pestered by people being weirded out a lot.

Also, we're using Elephant-in-the-room Feat-Tax fixes because we don't hate fun.

You've tasked yourself with creating a class that goes against the very fundamental paizotard logic of "ALL DAY can't be good", and you've also made an attempt to please everybody. Quite frankly, you've put a MASSIVE weight and workload on your shoulders, that you're doing this well at all is a miracle.

Because the attitude of "OMG YOUR CHARACTER HAS TO BE EXTREMELY OPTIMIZED OR THEY WILL DIE GUARENTEED" can be bad in some cases. IT permeates an ideal that if your character isn't netbuilt or some shit they're useless and shouldn't exist. Which is extremely discouraging for new players, and especially nasty when a huge advantage of Pafthinder of DnD 5E is the sheer volume of things you can be. Just look at all them archetypes and classes you can shoose from! Now only use the optimized ones that can crush every Paizo campaign like a ball of paper...yea, not so many options any more is there?

This shit scares away new players and actually hampers creativity in the extreme.

As for the point buy thing? I agree twith 20PB being the standard PB, but you can see how someone that doesn't could think 15 is standard, when it literally says standard :P.

Except higher point buy makes less options traps. Yes, a 25 PB character is going to be more powerful than a 15 PB character, but a 15 PB monk isn't going to be able to do much while a 25 PB monk is.

a 15 PB can do plenty on it's own. IT's not that they can't do much, it's that the 25 PB is just a beefier version of them and can thus do more.

But much like how Black isn't white, a 25PB character can also utterly destroy an encounter multiple times when the encounters weren't meant for a 25PB character, thus making the entire experience trivial and pointless.
>>
>>51990448
Did you mean go down on them?

>>51990339
It's beyond your balancing points for the concept, dear dev, but I might as well entertain it. It was set up for a Gestalt game that was running with PoW Dragons 2 and was cobbled together with the Warlord. The character himself was using the Bakeneko trait from Bloodforge, and was the descendant of a Kyton-worshipping wizard's befouled familiar that was just some dumb stray animal until a dragon picked it up as a pet and said "you know what would be funny? if my cat could talk to me. Imma teach it self actualization."

As far as build itself? level 3, 18's in Con and Cha with a 14-15 in Dex, and 5 Wisdom. Heart of Aether/Magic and Unnatural Resiliance (Cha) for feats. Self Pact Avowed||Steelfist Commando Warlord.

During the Reign of Winter that I ran the 15 point build was instituted after a near TPK cause "hey they say its for the heroic NPCs". Guess what? They all died. All of them
15 points aren't satisfactory for most characters, unless of course the DM does some impressive scaling and is very conscientious of the lack of raw stats, particularly amongst characters focus on more than one stat.

bottom line, 15 point build could work, but only if the DM is ready for them.

>a 15 PB can do plenty on it's own. IT's not that they can't do much, it's that the 25 PB is just a beefier version of them and can thus do more.
This is patently false, and you know it.

Further, how is 25 pb "beefier" when you are capped on what your max stats for Character creation are? Unless you're saying that somehow having 18 Str and 16 Con at 1st level is gamebreaking, in which case you obviously have no sense of how this system actually works.

All increased pb does is allow you more flexible spread in ability modifiers, making it actually possible to build MAD character like Monks, or to have a martial character that actually has an above 8 in his mental stats so he isn't a drooling retard, can do some skills out of combat, while still being able to do his job as a mainline combatant properly.
OR are you saying that when it comes to noncombat scenarios, martials should either just sit around like impotant retards or just suck the DM's dick for options
>inb4 its not the players job to make good character, its the DM's job to accomodate the
If the DM were good at his job, he'd be able to instead run a point buy where character can be useful at their jobs and not totally useless at others without being overwhelmed. The DM cannot be the complete and total arbitrator of the game and what happens, as that removes player agency and the reason why people play to begin with, and instead becomes a game of mother-may-I. IF the DM must do this 24/7 rather then occasionally when needed, then it is a problem not of the players, but of the GM for putting the players in this situation.

Plus this isn't even about 25 pb, which is kinda controversial on its own, when everyone was mostly arguing for the standard 20pb

>>51990478
Yes, I can read. You however cannot as everyone has already pointed out multiple times and multiple ways that 15 pb only encourages minmaxing and for people to play super optimized casters or one-trick barbarians.
READ YOU DUMB NIGGER!
>>
>>51990583
Yeah, the text is right there. He says there's no reason to play 15 PB. You say "Here are some reasons." They're shitty reasons but you're still trying to justify 15 PB. You are advocating for the use of 15 PB by arguing with someone advocating against it.

The setting is on a small and personal scale a la Dungeon Meshi. The world has already been razed once, and an ancient empire spanning most of the setting has sunken underneath the earth. Centuries later, people've begun digging back into countless ruins, discovering a culture that placed great emphasis on arts and craftsmanship.

The PCs are "Restorers", who make a living out of diving into ruins hiding monsters lost to the ages, and ghosts trapped since before recorded history, in order to retrieve paintings and statues, restore them to glory, and discover the lost past.

These paintings and statues happen to be vaguely erotic and it turns out the past was kind of dirty. Also insert some generic fantasy naughtiness like underground bathing springs and paintings that want to pull you inside their rape realm.

How do you think it feels being a spunky fisticuffs brawler girl and knowing you have all this competition?

Slayer is dead simple to build and still be decent. Tell me your build restrictions and I'll tell you your build.

>>
>>51991369
Pathfinder is mostly about single-classing. I think that a Slayer might wind up being the simplest thing, but all they do is damage.

I actually recommend being a Bard to start. It's IMPOSSIBLE to fuck up a Bard because even if you build your character SO poorly that you can't fight physically, can't cast spells and can't use skills (Bards are incredibly diverse and get to play with every type of scene which is also a thing that makes them a great intro class), you will still be able to Inspire Courage for the party and beef them up. You can never, ever be useless.

They also get lots of skill points and stuff!

>>
My player created a Dex based unchained monk : 18 Dex, 13 Str.

Looking into this more while they are leveling up to second level is apparently a bad idea.

Is there anything I should be doing to help him out without making him remake his character. He is the party tank, so losing the Dex modifier is probably going to hurt the party.
>>
>>51991418
That's the nice thing about Slayers. Extremely simple mechanically, nearly impossible to fuck up, and still manages to be fairly versatile in their options without bloating them or going over the top. I think Slayer might be my favorite class design in Pathfinder, it's pretty boring to play but it just works so well.
>>
>>51991325
Sounds kinda like Kill Six Billion Demons. Still diggin'. If you ever run it again, I'll play.

hell, I'll even play a monster girl, 'cause I like the idea of playing someone who's been through the hell firsthand and then has to come back to the suspicion and distrust that comes from being a monster. Can you imagine, like, some mom pointing out this character and being all 'if you don't behave, the miasma will turn you into something like that'?

Have him focus on and build around Attacks of Opportunity. Stuff like Combat Patrol, Reflexes, and Panther Style.
Also, for future style strikes go for the ones that move enemies around, and also flying kick.

For Ki powers, I'm not sure.
>>
>>51991411
That's the great thing with bards, I'm not sure you CAN build a True Useless bard even OUTSIDE of the Inspire Courage making them never useless. You can only pour your stats and feats into so many places before you are unavoidably improving some purpose that the class is made to do, because it hits every base.

Man, now I want a furious love triangle involving my Aurora, another competitive girl and a guy whose attentions we are vying for in an increasingly over the top manner, trying to prove that we are best girl and the other is a trash tier waifu.

Hadn't really considered it, what she probably 'wants' is whoever is considered the most desirable due to her huge amounts of envy and her inferiority complex. Beyond that she would probably benefit from someone suitably huge that can shut her down, grab her in a big hug until she stops throwing a tantrum and she realises that she doesn't need to fight so hard to have value as a person.

But yeah anything works really.
>>
>>51991514
Except be a bard? A bard would be 100% fine without difficulty in this party; Inspire Courage on the druid, his companion, the cleric AND the paladin all make them even stronger than they were going to be, and you could easily perform as the party face with simple Charisma and skill investment and nothing more.

He could build to be combat-useless in this party, and there's actually no better time to do so.

There's no real tank role in the game, and if there were, this would be a very bad party to try it in, with an optimized Druid and Paladin alongside a Cleric. Everyone can heal, no one is made of glass except the arcanist, one of them is TWO meatshields, and they can be trying to do melee ahead of a tank the whole time. It's just not useful, or if it was it'd be an ultra-rare chance.

gender based, race based, class based. I don't much care for male subs but theyre easy enough to ignore when they exist.

All first-party available, but I may be able to convince the GM of third-party stuff.

I flip flop back and forth between irritation and boundless joy at just how bizarre everything about this game has been.

I never said I don't like enslaving boys.

I just think that regardless of the raw materials, the final product should be cute girl slaves.

Any breed.
Not sure. I don't think we're near a desert, and we may be traveling, so if I could make them at will, or just have a like a green-house wagon to tote around, that'd be great too.

Open to suggestions as well.

Man I'm loving the ideas I'm having for Rory the Skinwalker in Dragon Game 2

>Never looks the same from day to day apart from his skin brand and tats
>sometimes appears as a voluptuous awoo girl because he's fascinated by the female body
>Sometimes goes out with draconic features because he wants to blend in
>Sometimes just straight up mimics the appearance of a party member for a little while, but genderswaps them.
>Sometimes just gets bored and follows a party member around as an ACTUAL WOLF

I like playing shapeshifters. They can be fun. Though I'm wondering how I can explore the psychology of someone whose form is so mutable and transitory. I know he'd be a lot more open about stuff because to be frank he might not even have a set "gender" or "race" so to speak apart from what he started as. Anyone have suggestions or ideas? Or even perverted fantasies because of the general attitude of this thread?

Recently I have been finding that GMs have extreme aversion to hirelings. It's been three different GMs but all three banned me from having hirelings.

Tell me if something is wrong with the hirelings.The first character was a dwarven noble with the following hirelings:
>chronicler/letter writer/messenger, male dwarf
>manservant to help him in and out of his armor, tend to his beard, etc, male dwarf
>groom to tend to his mount, female dwarf
>general physical labor, doubled as the chef, male orc (this one was actually a slave, former criminal serving his time as my servant)

The second character was an aspiring merchant with the following:
>woman who was both his tailor and mistress, female human
>two general labor men, one a male half-orc the other a male human
>an accountant/bureaucrat, male human

In all honesty, I do feel it'd be fun to do some inter-group crossovers. Don't know how we'd resolve things besides "timelines are now mashed up together, hope you don't mind dimension-slide-induced internal bleeding"
>>
>>51992784
Mite b cool. It'd be fun for him/her to start getting the lowdown on everybody else's alternate personae.

Like for instance, Ulfric in badass banchou mode starting to get cuddly over the big fluffy doggo when he thinks nobody's looking.
>>
>>51992784
How's Rory's preferences going to work? Is he going to just be trying out different combinations of gender-on-gender to find one he wants to stick with?
>>
>>51992824
>Yfw the big fluffy doggo is the size of a horse and covered in just as much fluff
>Yfw the 8 int skinwalker becomes the team mascot
>Yfw he's perfectly fine letting people rub his tummy
>Yfw he likes to play fetch
>Yfw he's just like the dog you had as a kid except he can talk, and transform into a big hunk.

Truly, the best idea.

>>51992872
Growing up around dragons and weirder, I figure a good lot of the party might just see him and still go "PUPPY!"
>>
>>51992852
He might end up just not giving a shit. Sex is sex, if they're cute, they're cute, and if they want to get together, he's not opposed to changing himself up to make them more comfortable.

(What this really means is that any combination of stuff is possible. Male/male, male/female, female/female even)
>>
>>51992873
SHAPESHIFTEEEEEEEEEEEEERS
>>51992884
Probably. Still, it would be fun. I might even start the game as a wolf! Just have him be some wolf that lives in the marketplace and plays with the kids!

Hey there /pfg/, I'm a semi-experienced, casual and laid back GM that's looking to run some AP material for you. Thing is, I don't know what to run. I know what rules I'll want to run, to keep it simple for myself: Paizo only, 25 PB, anti-feat tax, with elements negotiable if it fits backstories/is cool.

I'm open to ideas, even 3pp APs, but there's there's a few things I don't think I'll run:

>Iron Gods
First AP I tried to run, we dumped it because it turned out to be kind boring for us.

>Rise of the Runelords
Man, Nualia is the most retarded villain.

>Jade Regent
My current group is running through it.

Lewd welcome.

Aight, need a bit of help here.

GM recently decided we needed to wipe the slate clean and reroll the party since we got kind of caught up on planning genocide. So all new level 12 characters for everyone!

I'm going to be rolling with an Oracle, Time Mystery, Child curse. Thing is, I'm still pretty shitty at pathfinder since this is my first campaign, and I can't quite figure out what equipment to get. GM said we have 58,000GP to blow on whatever, so it's just a matter of picking and choosing really. Any recommendations for an Oracle?

Makes for more interesting party dynamics. A bunch of evil characters just sit around snarling at each other when they don't have other people to harass, evil with good opens up corruption, redemption and compromise before getting into actual character conflict.

Then why don't you just play someone who's amoral but neutral? It's much less inflammatory than playing evil, and less likely to cost another player their class features.

The patting was because there's literally a big fluffy wolf. The sweating is because /wolves don't grin and they aren't as emotive as this particular example/. Stop being such a salt elemental.

The difference between "amoral but neutral" and "evil" is arbitrary in the first place, you're just watching out to see when dark gray becomes black, and it's the kind of label that gives CN a bad rep.

Apparently "realistic" tigers constantly choose to attack whoever's pursuing a fleeing enemy, or whoever brandishes the shiny macguffin. And murder NPCs behind our backs. But they never go hunting for actual animals. Nope, that's not "realistic".

Where is the new thread?
>>
>>51992688
Is your character male or female?

So I was designing a NE anti-paladin archetype centered around the idea of having a chalice you feed souls to.

You feed souls to the chalice and get soul crystals, you then use these crystals for your spell casting. The power of a crystal is based on the HD of the thing you fed to it. All of the archetype's spell casting now can be enhanced in a number of ways with the crystals, to the point that high end crystals can be used to cast spells above 4th level a bit.

The crystals can be used to self buff as well with a series of scaling profane bonuses based on the strength of the crystal.

This all replaces Smite Good and alters Spellcasting.

Now on the other end your fiendish bond is with the chalice. One part of it is with a spirit that lives in the chalice and you can summon and control for a limited amount of time. The other part is being able to use chalice to drink from it to do things. Some of the examples are any water put into the chalice can be transformed into Unholy Water, it can produce water endlessly, you can reach inside of it to pull out some objects like you used minor creation, etc.

Touch of corruption generally stays the same, except that anything that dies within a few rounds of you using touch of corruption on it automatically turns into a crystal rather than having to do a ritual after combat.

Does this sound too dumb?
>>
>>51993227
Listen not to their lies.

You neither get dex to damage or strength to hit.

You use BOTH and get a phat stack of bonus damage.

You play a Fighter. Get Trained Throw and Ricochet Toss. Grab some dueling gloves. Enjoy your swanky-ass knife-throwing damage. Get Focused Weapon to crank up that knife damage.

Maybe even take Learned Duelist if you want that extra +4 damage.

Real talk, your game is becoming less attractive by the second. I mean, called shots? Are you grasping at random rules just so you can make your campaign seem different from raunchy? Whats next? Critical fumble rules?

>>51993977
Much like crit fumble, its a great way to get your pcs permanently injured early on with no accessible fix in sight. It also doesnt suit the system and does nothing but add an unweildy set of rules for "muh realism".
>>
>>51993992
>Razmir beating Tar-Baphon
LoL!
>>
>>51994016
Really? Only a debilitating blow seems to have permanent effects, and those require PCs to have a minimum of 100HP which is like level 7 or 8 at earliest.

Ability damage from unlucky crits is nasty at lower levels, but it's something to sleep off.
>>
>>51993977
>Giant armed with log sized club
>Can make called shot to hit someone in the ear
Wew!
>>
>>51994031
The idea isn't that he beats him, is that he manages to suck out the mythic sparks while the Whispering Tyrant is stuck slumbering and imprisoned in Gallowspire.

Razmir wouldn't stand a chance against the Whispering Tyrant in an actual confrontation, but Tar-Baphon is chained and weakened to keep him imprisoned. Razmir isn't exactly weak himself, he just is lacking mythic sparks.
>>
>>51994016
>Much like crit fumble, its a great way to get your pcs permanently injured early on with no accessible fix in sight.

Friend, what Called Shots chart are you looking at?

The only ones that don't require dealing 50+ damage in a single hit, *at worst* deal a little bit of ability damage.

No permanent damage to be seen before you can deal with it.

Okay, looking at the numbers, I believe one of the fundamental flaws is the scaling of the base pulse. It causes everything to require far too many multipliers.

http://pastebin.com/pdCMJEVG

Basically, while at level 3 it looks okay (before any shapes you're doing half the health of a CR-2 to your level), by level 19 that growth pattern has resulted in you now doing a mere 12%. That is less than a quarter of what you used to do to an equivalent enemy at level 3.
