>What was the oldest character (proportionally to their race) you've ever played? Have you ever thought about playing an older character, or maybe play with one?
I played Granny "Grizzle" Griselda who was an 87 year old human woman. She was my witch when I played CotCT.

So PFG what is better for a familiar you plan to use in combat, figment or mauler?

>>52080066
One of my characters was Jianshi Li, a 600 year old granny kitsune that I never got to play because the game was cancelled

>>52080128
Mauler 100%. However the issue is what class you are and are you willing to take the toughness for mauler familiars feat?

>>52080128
It depends if you're a competent combatant on your own. If yes, mauler. If not, figment.

>>52080066
Middle-aged is as far as I go, my current Human Druid who I started playing at L8 is 41 and I think that's my oldest character for now. I'd just feel weird playing anything older other than maybe a high level Wizard later in the campaign.

>>52080146
How would toughness help the mauler familiar?
And the class is Magus, wanted to pick up something to help me in melee combat.

>>52080128
>>52080151
Mauler is a fucking trap option. They are worthless.

>>52080170
There is a familiar feat which is super toughness but just for the mauler.

>>52080178
Yeah if you build them incorrectly. There are very few familiar shapes that make good Maulers.

As a Eldritch Guardian fighter the Mauler is fine.

>>52080178
>I have never seen an Eldritch Guardian with a Mauler Familiar

>all the talk about what skills actually do make me realize I actually have no idea how the fuck to actually do an "animal person" as an Unchained Rogue
>just saw Handle Animal was a background skill and threw it in there

What the fuck can I actually even DO with Handle Animal and no access to Speak with Animals? How do I animal person?
making characters is hard

>>52080205
Which feat is that, do you have the name off hand?

>>52080066
Oldest would have to be a a 35-year-old Half-Elf.

Age penalties are pain.

>>52080207
Combat train some hounds if you're low level.

>>52080207

Handle Animal is your ability to train or maintain a doggo or kitty or big goofball horse-thing. You don't need Speak to Animals for the same reason you don't need Create Food if you have Craft (Bread.)

>There is a familiar feat which is super toughness but just for the mauler.
So if I took this feat, and my familiar took toughness for its feat, would it get half my HP+3 per level?

>>52080284
Technically you're not supposed to trade out your familiar's feat, but yeah.

>>52080066
Avowed doesn't have any major changes planned. Anyone playing one should not expect to have their build turned upside down, as all we've got on the table at present are adding more items and pacts. Maybe more feats. If we DO plan to revamp stuff, we'll let you know, but the Avowed in its current state is going to stay that way for a while so it can be tested.

So, yeah, PLEASE playtest away without fear (and if possible, removing that line about big changes from the next OP would be really great? We don't want people thinking we're pulling the rug out from under players again.)

What time is it? Time for my daily shilling of my E8 Noiralog/Eberron with Spelljammer ships game, of course!

https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/71015/a-generic-pathfinder-adventure-title

>>52080293
So even with the silly pile of hp, how do you keep it from dieing? It seems like the lack of armor for it could be an issue, and putting armor on it will lower its ab/skills.

>>52080206
I have and that thing was dying pretty much every other week and at best was a distraction for enemies. It was not contributing to combat in any meaningful way.

>>52080340
By being a Fighter.

>>52080357
So in other words, I should not do it with a Magus.
So with Magus should I take a familiar? None of the other low level arcana really look good to me.

>>52080344
Again, if it was built like shit. Properly build an Eldritch Guardian Mauler will do fine, somewhere on par with an Animal Companion.

>>52080331
Sorry bud, your game is while I'm at work.

>>52080340
Ask your GM if you can give it Prescient Dodger.

>>52080240
>>52080251
Yea but what if I like, walk up to a stray cat or a wild beast and try to get it to play nice? Hell, if I DO get speak with animals somehow, am I still fucked because >no wild empathy?

>>52080278
Reviewanon are you going to do CotLT characters (even though the party's mostly been chosen already)?

>>52080407
Wild Empathy is just a bonus to the skill.
Seriously, it's Diplomacy for animals, plus training them to do tricks.

>>52080407
You roll Handle Animal. Jesus, does your character fucking die of thirst because a cleric isn't around to cast create water for them instead of going to a fucking river?

>>52080422
>Wild Empathy is just a bonus to the skill
Except the opposite is true. Wild Empathy is d20+level+cha with no way of increasing it, and it allows you to improve the attitude of hostile animals.

>>52080453
Yeah I fucked that up. Still, having the skill and not WEmp is fine. Just train animals to do what you want.

Is there a trait that's like Heirloom Weapon, but for armour?

>>52080409
>>52080278
Better to do HV characters instead.

>>52080432
I never bothered with the skill before, so what exactly it does is a fucking mystery to me because it all just seems to be about domestic animals. This retarded game is so riddled with magical bullshit that I just kind of assumed that Handle Animal didn't actually cover everything.

I'm just watching. Its fun not having to stress.

>>52080922

>>52080933
Tell us what you think of his app, spill the beans.

>>52080922
I went back and added some people, but it was actually based on SE's feedback. I'm sure anon will appreciate the names though

>>52080875
That's not even a feat. It's a vigilante talent from Villains, Chain Lasher. Proficiency, and can attack both reach and adjacent . At 10 you get a +2 to hit and damage with them.

>>52080933
Same here. I'm explicitly concerned with trying to make my guy a team-player without stepping into others' roles.

>>52080922
I don't plan to add names, but I do need to dramatically alter my character's backstory.

We already did the shape changes. Channel and Rounds got thoroughly reworked, we added the Area tag which adds your charisma to damage rolls, Wrath and Blast have been changed to be more distinct... like, we've already DONE the shape rework. I'm not sure what you're expecting.

>>52080948
DHBs? I like that he is just a petty piece of shit. Its an interesting variety of evil.

>>52080922
>ancillary NPCs
Don't have any. If you're trying to enter an established plot where there's already a game with pre-established players, isn't trying to shoehorn in more NPCs going to just make it harder on the DM, rather than easier?

>>52080920
There's no major mechanical revamps planned, and right now, we're hoping that there will be minimal small changes as well. There's unlike to be anything like the last few changes to Aether Channel, or similar, though.

>>52080922
I didn't need to, I only have one ancillary NPC and he was named.

>>52081013
I asked the DM for advice on my character and he stated that I needed to flesh out the people in my backstory more. Needless to say, I'm doing that.

>>52081004
I have to agree that I really like his brand of evil. His entire thing is destroying and replacing things important to others, but he kept a tea set from when he was a kid. Also his personality section is interesting.

Also his backstory reads really nicely and actually makes sense as to why he is only level 3 at his age. He actively avoided combat of any kind for his entire life and spent decades inactive.

>>52080918
I was just going to do arcane archer with a firearm, which seems to fix that problem on its own.

>>52081068
LAZY ELVES.

Man, half of the apps right now are some kind of elf. Fucking bizarre.

Then take the one that gives you extra damage for a pool point, it stacks with spell damage and you're going to need it as a gunman.

Sometimes literally

>>52081004
>At the age of 100 Talathel realized he held the only copy of a series of journals written by a man who considered him a dear friend. They described a harrowing journey through the Land of the Linnorm Kings and detailed out complicated etiquette and customs, information one hardly saw in Chelish lands, so far from the ice and cold. Talathel burned them. Afterwards he laughed until he was nearly ill.
Holy shit, what a piece of shit.

>>52080066
I played a huge bearded warrior with a ton of stories to tell about battles against bandits.

But that's a bad example, he was barely into his 20s and had just been killing since he was 10 like any good Norseman. Shocked the whole party when they found out his new wife was half again as old as him.

>>52080988
Aether Circus. It's still pretty much unchanged.

It's still only once a round so if they moved around a few times and only now do some reach it, your other actions were wasted - *AND THEN* they also get to dodge it proper

It's still Reflex-None and low damage, with the extra addition of ALSO REFLEX-HALF on a hit if you buy the fourth purchase, including for the primary target. So whoever you fired it at, should you buy it a fourth time, gets, in exchange for it now doing splash, a reflex save to not get hit and send the missile wasted downrange (possibly back at your party), AND a reflex save for half or no damage(evasion) should they fail their save and take the hit.

Those are two fairly clunky things; and 8 targets is sure to be seen as way too much at level 1~3, while the 1 missile limitation, triple defense dip (you can outmove them easily, dodge and cancel their tracking, or simply reflex-half/evasion them after the former two fail if they do hit) with 'just' 8-targets are both too little by the time you're level 10+. It has no special feats or combos either despite being quite clunky.

>>52081130
Honestly I was going to go with wand wielder so I can just use wands for combat and use my spell slots for other things.

>>52081125
One is a placeholder but I think all of them are fine otherwise. Two are half-elves though so they have an easy time.

None of that Aasimar but it doesn't mean anything shit here that always happens.

There's probably saves other than reflex to be found in one of the shapes I'd imagine though? all-reflex would be really sad if you had to fight anything rogue-like

We'll look at this. Specifically, the first Avowed set of options, Promises of Power, is unlikely to change. Things in Avowed 2 are a far more active, still growing playtest, and we'll be revising them as needed.

But right now, we're looking to finalize the Avowed 1 playtest and get it released, once we get the issues solved.

We'll look at Aether Circus though. Thanks for your feedback.

>>52081193
Right he's just such a piece of garbage

>>52081308
Got several suggestions for fixing it up; if you wanna focus on Avowed 1 though, it can wait. Definitely does need a few changes though eventually!

A literally 10k+ year old Wraith.

So since DHB is all but confirmed, that means only one slot is open and there's already five people fighting for it.

>>52081469
eh, i wouldn't describe him as edgy

Just like.. Take the pettiest asshole in the universe. Thats him.

>>52081511

Rimmer...
Rimmer. To Rhyme with Scum.

>>52081511
Confirmed in what?

>>52081469
Not really? He doesn't have any of the classic "edgy" characteristics. Like broodiness, being a lone wolf, etc. He's just the biggest asshole you've ever met.

Thing is his entire character is designed around him actually being nice to be around because it lets him be an even bigger asshole later.

>>52081308
On the subject of Area Clauses:
Four purchases effectively means 2x Charisma Bonus right?

So, extrapolating, by level 20 if you had +10, that is 20 damage.

An overcharged 4-purchase shape would thus deal an average of 107.5, reflex-half.
Add lingering to this for 1/2 base damage, so, another 35, since that's "start of their turn" at the latest so can still be counted as part of the action against them.

This is *just* enough to kill the median of CR 10s who fail their save (142), or just enough for CR 7s who make their saves. This is without secondary effects obviously, as it is overcharged.

Is this roughly accurate, and is this about where you want the area damage?

>>52081772

Invulnerable Rager with the Beast Totem line and some tasty Superstition. Pounce into battle and delete enemies on your first turn while shrugging off the enemy's feeble weapons and laughing at their shitty magic. A half-orc with Sacred Tattoo and Fate's Favored is a nice way to go.

KNIGHT-SERGEANT IRVING SILAF

Irving is at a glance, a pretty nice guy. Classic nice. Jesus nice. Dude turns the other cheek while kids bully him for a long while, and only gets all fire and brimstone after they assault his waifu. He's a likeable sort, and probably easy to fit into a party.

Now for the bad.

Some parts of his backstory just don't make a lot of sense. His parents are Eagle Knights, and the discovery of a dragon egg would have been kind of a deal in Andoran. Why isn't he getting more state support? You think the country that invented freedom would be all about raising a silver dragon to be their own top-tier supersoldier.

But that's a minor gripe. I have questions, like why his parents moved (like moving to another town is particularly easy in a setting like Golarion) after his powers were exposed, instead of them just putting it all under wraps... but that's just personal taste. It can still make sense in a certain context.

His personality is kind of boring and placid, but that's a flaw of low-affect personalities more than a mark against him. I like that his player actually took some time to describe his moral compass and describe the things he cares about and believes in, which has been a little bit lacking so far. His arrival and residence in the Demesne is one of the best for non-natives, too.

>>52082276
Just because you thought of it does not mean the rest of the class wants to know. Fuck off with your shitty memedog.

>>52082308
's not like he's shapeshifting ALL the time. Usually he sticks with one form for a while. Just because he's good at it doesn't mean he's gonna be showing it off.

>>52082326
That's the spirit!

>>52082320

Which non-native has the best arrival and residence?

>>52082326
Yeah well I wanna know, so why don't you fuck off back to /b/ where you belong.

>>52082285
they're solid metrics

Rolled 11 (1d11)

>>52082320
All in all, he's a competent application. I like that his parents are fucking named, at least, so that's a plus. The backstory section lays out a story that could feasibly result in a super-gentle draconic healslut man taking up in the Demesne as a doctor, and doesn't have anything glaring.

I thought the prose in the beginning of the personality section was a bit weak, and I'm not entirely convinced by his backstory but I don't dislike it.

>Appeal 4/5, he's a charming doctor man who just happens to be a dragon raised by humans from fantasy America with knights.
>Backstory 3/5, nothing special but effective. Points for actually naming some characters and having some flashpoints that play out in his personality.
>Compatibility 4/5, martial healslut, another exceedingly nice guy. It'd be hard to find a conventional party he doesn't fit into.
>Dragonality 5/5, a dragon and a regular canonical dragon, which is nice. Not only that, but he's a humaboo as most silver dragons are and demonstrates some of the downsides of being so fucking nice.

Not for my next review subject!

ReviewAnon, you're ratings are steadily climbing

Do you realize this?

>>52082545
The campaign traits for CotCT all involved their involvement with a notorious crimelord who just carked it. I'd think it'd be:

>Appeal
>Backstory
>Compatibility
>Revengitude - How strong is their thirst for revenge

>>52082600

>>52082615
A shame the AP itself throws the traits out immediately.

>>52082599
it's not a bamboozle yet!

>>52082545
the only reason i'm separating out Evilitude and Schlockyness is that the DM for HV is specifically asking for shlocky pulpy exploitationish characters

>>52082545
You should also review the already extant characters.

>>52082633
And there could be such an easy fix for that--Lamm was working for someone else/not the real brains of the operation, connect back to Queen Ileosa/Kazavon

Man, I just wish Taldor Ascendant hadn't been fake. I was sorta hype for that one, especially since there were so few applicants.

>>52082661
I was gonna apply with the pegasus knight idea I had when the GM stopped being dead.

>>52082600
A little bit, but that's mostly the order the rolls are having me review people.

Some of the first apps I reviewed were good too (like Aisha), but then I got to Vorelira and it all went downhill for a while.

Incidentally, the story I wrote would totally justify Reactionary, but I despise that trait for being so necessary. Dunno if the final build will have it or not, but I'll worry about that if Eagle is an even bigger madman than we thought and picks me.

Got two requests. One, that Throne Guard fighter archetype from Heroes of the High Court.

Two, the page on how Erastil views other deities. They'd be much appreciated if anyone has them.

We all did our best.

>>52083008
Even if you'd applied with Vorelira's art, I probably would have reviewed you favorably.

The disney princess personality and the fact your character has things she's passionate about (rather than being generically passionate about things) was a major plus, and built out to one of my favorite apps so far.

Paladin. You'll want some good saving throws for a 1pp game with just 2 people. One of you getting fucked over in combat by a spell is going to turn things bad real fast.

>>52083276
Paladin, unless you've Paladin'd before, unless unless your previous Paladining was stale, generic, and/or cut short by a swift and unjust end to a campaign. Also personally, I'd go Warpriest over Inquisitor for the novelty and the better spell list, but to each their own.

Right, so, the listed height/weight on the sheet is for dragon form, then the human form is in parentheses next to it. I had no idea what I was doing for height and weight values for a dragon. I just know that Small creatures (True Dragon isn't Medium until 6th level) are supposed to be something like 4 feet, so I imagined she's about that tall when sitting on her haunches in dragon form and rolled with it.

Tail lengths are not included in the height.

Major Benefits are the spice and flavor to capping off what a character can do/how they're flavored. It's even pointed out that the DM has the final say to saying yes or no to letting anyone use them, hence why they're priced a bit more then the normal minor benefits.

>>52083741
Eh, it's still a WIP. Prices and what each benefit gives isnt really final, and we're still not sure at how horrifically mangled and broken this is going to make an already horrifically mangled and broken system.

>>52083845
On one hand, it is Cheliax, where half the class level population is nobility and the other half is clergy.

On the other hand, 1%> elf population. Might be okay.

>Evasion being 3 points on its own

I didn't really look at some of these, clearly. Evasion and Uncanny Dodge should probably be grouped up for 3 points.

Sneak attack is probably undervalued, yes. It's usually bad on a Rogue, but when poached by someone like an unchained monk, it can get pretty stupid.

>>52083845
>one of the already existing characters is nobility

>>52083918

>High Jump and Slow Fall being on there instead of just generic Ki Powers, no Style Strikes in sight

I like what you're going for, but it's... Your point costs are all over the place.

>>52083970
Honestly, I kinda like them where they are but they probably should be bundled together and set to cost 3 points instead. It'll only really be good if you've set up something capable of fighting in melee, but if it's good it'll be /REALLY/ fucking good.

>>52083917
That's a good height on Fleur, especially right beside Talathel.

>>52083918
>>52083869
The biggest problem is overvaluing/undervaluing things. Most of the rest is pretty solid.

>>52083845
He took the campaign trait to be nobility and took the literally lowest title that Cheliax hands out.

>>52082320
First off, thanks for the comments, I appreciate it.

>Some parts of his backstory just don't make a lot of sense. His parents are Eagle Knights, and the discovery of a dragon egg would have been kind of a deal in Andoran. Why isn't he getting more state support? You think the country that invented freedom would be all about raising a silver dragon to be their own top-tier supersoldier.

I had briefly considered doing that, but ultimately chose not to for two reasons.

1. Super-soldier that doesn't want to be one seems like a well-worn plot, and I didn't think I could add anything else to it.

2. Irving gained his outlook on life from his parents. Having them be genuinely good people was an important aspect of his backstory. If they were government scientists just getting paid, I feel like it would be unusual for Irving to be as well-adjusted as he is.

>But that's a minor gripe. I have questions, like why his parents moved (like moving to another town is particularly easy in a setting like Golarion) after his powers were exposed.

I agree, moving in a setting like Golarion is very difficult. Seeing his parents abandon their home, friends, and job all for his sake was meant to be painful. It's yet another deep-seated reason for Irving to despise violence.

>>52084009
How relevant are the campaign traits in Hell's Vengeance anyways?

>>52083685

Astarte is six feet tall even.

>>52083988
Oh and locking it to only "Barbarian Rage, or Bloodrager Bloodrage"? The fuck? The free VMC thing is cool too, but it's janky as fuck considering how the good ones are REALLY FUCKING GOOD (situationally at least, wizard and barbarian for example) and the shit ones are REALLY FUCKING SHIT (all the fucking time, like alchemist RAW Witch/Oracle, and Gunslinger).

>>52084061
That would make her exactly one inch higher than the green one (humanoid zev) at 5'11.

Freyda at 8'1 is still by far the biggest, and Atolm is roughly adult-toy sized for her. I suggest you have them get together.

Yes indeed. The numbers need a lot of work, but I feel we've otherwise done a good job so far writing poach-able abilities.

I do appreciate the feedback from everyone.

>>52083988
>HD and BAB not the same
I wanted to make the glass cannon character a little more viable. Why should an archer have to be bulky to be more accurate?
>Why are BAB and HD priced the same?
I'm not sure which would be considered more valuable, desu.

>>52083988
My feeling is that if Spellstrike and Spell Combat were bundled together for just 3 points, that means it only costs 3 points to buy up pretty much all of a Magus' class identity. Any partial caster would probably die to grab action economy for a price like that, and even a wizard at 15 PB could afford to grab both features and kick his BAB up one step.

Then again, you're probably going to run into similar problems for other classes, and I haven't the faintest idea how you should go about balancing and pricing everything. This is just my gut feeling as a person who really likes the Magus class.

>>52084110
At the same time, the Magus could afford to buy a higher HD and BAB, while probably having enough points leftover to get fighter bonus feat progression and access, thereby letting them be a better Fighter in every single way.

>>52084071
How about no, that's creepy.
No offense, Freyda.

>>52084108
The want to increase options is admirable but there's an 100% chance that keeping HD and BAB separate will result in people ditching one to abuse the other. Might be advisable to keep them together so that you can wrap them up in one price.

>>52084132
True enough, what a Magus would be buying up is something I hadn't considered. Just make sure that you make clear and keep consistent in the logic you use for pricing abilities. From my own experience with similar (though markedly less ambitious) projects, it helps.

Hey /pfg/, I'm new to pathfinder and need some opinions. I'm playing druid (just hit level 2) and my GM is trying to restrict the spell "detect magic" because they think it's OP. For example if I try to cast it in a dungeon I sometimes "get a headache" and can't cast it. Scenarios like this have happened to a couple of my other spells as well. Is the GM usually inclined to do this?

>Oh and locking it to only "Barbarian Rage, or Bloodrager Bloodrage"? The fuck?
I don't...know what you mean by this.

>VMC might be a mistake
I kind of agree. It feels weird to not include Paizo's pseudo gestalt rules, but then again it's Paizo.

>>52084132
>I'd be OK with the abuse, though I'm not sure how swell it would be if it turns out more HP is more popular. Toughness isn't really a strong feat, and that's what you're taking every time you up your HD, at least by my HP rules.

>>52084222
Well, you can take a physical copy of the book to prove it to him by HITTING HIM WITH THE CORNER OF THE FUCKING THING UNTIL HE STOPS BEING A CHEATING HANDWAVING PIECE OF SHIT.

>>52083747
Yeah, thats understandable for victims of the great crash

>>52084153
>>52084232
Fucked that up something fierce. Excuse me. Meant to quote you.

Is there a reason I shouldn't just give every body(players and monsters) max HP?

>>52084222
Well, first, Detect Magic /is/ a very strong spell.
Pathfinder is the only edition where you can cast it as much as you want for free.
3.5 didn't let you, and 5e didn't let you.
Being able to always know where magic is, is a very empowering ability.

HOWEVER. This is a system assumption in pathfinder, and it's a real bullshit move for the GM to say you can't use your class features as the rules say, purely depending on their mood.

Show them the spell Magic Aura if they want a more reasonable way to counter you, or ask them to lay out hard guidelines on when you can use detect magic.

>>52084252
No, not as far as I've seen.

>>52084222
It is OP, and so are druids, but your GM is still being a faggot

>>52084256
>>52084236
Thanks for the input guys, much appreciated!

>>52084222
Your gm is being a shit and not reading the spell properly.

>>52083747
oh wow i really need to re-finish Shizuka after the disaster.

I can do it, most of it is remembered.

>>52084252
Giving monsters more HP is a good idea in general. You can couple that with either lowered monster AC or granting more HP to players for some quality of life improvements.

Might backfire if your players can't do damage or disable enemies for shit, though.

>>52084232
Not having NORMAL BARBARIAN RAGE is really fucking bizarre to me. To keep throwing shit at the wall

>Nimble being remotely worth that price without adding any Stat-to-esque boost
>Not being able to change the main mental stat for things, even if it's just a single alternative (Int Panache, Cha Inspiration/Ki, etc)?
>bumping up Vigilante Talent's cost with Initiating sitting right there
>Still feel like Evasion/Uncanny Dodge/IUD is overpriced to shit, but oh well

>>52081404
We're always open to feedback.

>>52084289
Sounds less like he's misread it and more that either this player's consistently running into overwhelming auras (unlikely) or that he's just saying 'no you can't' (much more likely because apparently some of his other spells are randomly failing too).

>>52083747
For reference, Shizuka is 5 feet tall

Tian lol

>>52084368
I asked originally, and it's basically the latter. For example another spell that gets shafted is mend, because once our party found a broken key and I was able to mend it (and we got sweet loot from that key by level one standards, I feel), and from that point on lots of things that mend is applicable to don't have all the pieces to it (required by mend). Also last session he said he had to learn a work around to me being able to mend arrows for our rouge (which is something we as a party learned last session and thought it was awesome).

>>52084358
Could the Artificer's Insight clause also apply to Spellcraft checks for magic item crafting?
With INT not being a priority it feels tricky for an Avowed to take that role if they're not a tinker.

Though I think it would need an extra boost since you can already always take 10 on crafting checks, and with the high stakes of failing I could see myself still choosing that over Advantage, given how many times I've rolled things like (2,3) on 2d20 before.

>>52084461
Like, "The sword on the ground is missing the top part of the blade, broken off" for example, but multiplied by most items in the world we can interact with during exploring.

>>52084461
>gm getting pissy that you did something clever
>is a passive-aggressive shit about it instead of just saying there wasn't any treasure in the room

>Looking at shit for gestalt, just for shits n' giggles
>Two-handed Fighter
>Still gets Weapon Training
>Basically doubles all your damage with two-handed weapons, noticeably doubles your STR bonus on most attacks
>Look at Brutal Slayer and VMC Barbarian
>This guy requires no feats, can fuck around with a Falchion or Nodachi and deal country-deleting damage, and can pounce starting from level 3.

Jesus Christ I've made a monster.

>>52084495
And I guess that wouldn't count as that specific spell failing, but a lot of my spells I feel he does some mental gymnastics to make them underwhelming/ have less of an impact

I need reviews, review for Hell's Vengeance applications!

>>52084524
I'm still writing mine. ;_; I can't decide how edgy I want his back story to be.

https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/2060656

This is an RP-focused living world campaign that I'm sort of in the process of getting things organised for. Please don't set me on fire, but do send questions if you have any.

>>52084524
I wanna say it's too early but it's also probably going to close up pretty fast, and there'll probably be enough applicants every day for someone to do them.

>>52084541
>living world

BURN THE WITCH

>>52084524
I'll start them in a bit. Just grabbing a drink in a moment.

Still holding out hope someone will announce a kingmaker game before summer.

>>52084541
>Living World

hard pass.

Also: there's like a dozen living world campaigns going on on r20 already; what makes yours different (other than players will be able to get in on the ground floor)?

>>52084593

I just want to play a Swordlord ;~;

>>52084594
As I said, a roleplaying focus, 3pp content and someone actually dedicated to the concept.

Alright here we fuckin go

I'm gonna review each and every character application for Hell's Vengeance, but I do have criteria for a review

NAMELY I gotta have the sheet, backstory and all filled out. else ITS FUCKING RAW.

I will use FIVE countem FIVE criteria to score each review, and they are as follows

1. Appeal - Based off of picture and description and personality, basically, how much do i like to see this character, and how they would react in the world
2. Backstory - Is your backstory shit? Maybe! Lets find out together.
3. Compatibility - This is basically looking most at the surface level mechanics of the character and how much i'd want them as a fellow character in a party
4. Evilosity - How evil are you, and is your evil interesting and/or fun.
5. Shlock Factor - How much do I feel this character would come out of a shitty exploitation movie, crappy 80s/early 90s ultraviolence anime, or various other kinds of pulp media

I'll start this off with a... Mini-review of Shizuka I guess, because while i don't think its worth putting out all my likes and dislikes of an accepted character, I do think its useful to use them as a baseline for the scores I have. Shizuka because it looks like she's the only one out of the three sheets already in that have a like, full sheet (i assume there's some refactoring going on)

And we'll figure it out from there. I'll take requests or make a random table.

>>52084729

You should do a looksee at all the characters (including former) and pick one you feel best does all five of your criteria!

>>52084541

Who /diopsid/ here?

>>52084766
I don't know a lot of 3pp well, so I'm taking requests. It allows me to learn more and consider how well I feel things will suit the present themes in the game.

>>52084786

As useful as it might be for looking around corners, it's probably a real bitch getting protective headgear to fit.

>>52084676
I'd settle for this too desu

>>52084766
Given the clusterfuck of the avowed rebalance, I think Forrest content may be off /pfg/'s auto include list.

>>52084860
That's fair, let me rephrase

>Not auto including Jolly content

Theme songs are overrated.

Post your character's spirit animal.

>>52084860
Is it WORSE after the update?

So lets just take that surface level look at Shizuka

>Crazy samurai bitch
>like rull crazy
>like fuck holy shit calm down
>like weirdly into blood crazy

And the sparknotes of her backstory is

>Was a painter in Kalsgard
>There was an ancestral sword
>Ancestral sword whispered to her a bunch
>Eventually she went crazy, picked up the sword, murdered her husband
>Sword was actually a black blade
>she goes on the run, eventually becoming a merc with a small degree of fame to her name
>finds her way to Cheliax

Simple enough

Appeal - 5/5 - Ok. I'm a sucker here. She's got long black hair, and fights in a kimono. Plus her weirdly airy personality and her talking bob-ross sword push her up above. She's very Jetstream Sam-like ect.

Backstory- 3/5 - Honestly, this is a bit generic, but its serviceable, and it accounts for some of her crazy, how she got her sword and everything. Its too bad her husband doesn't have a name.

Compatibility - 2/5 - She's pretty much a straight up striker. An initiator/magus is VERY combat focused. She gets points however for having a large array of skills, which is always nice, and being spheres, as sphere maguses in particular benefit from a wider range of abilities. Depending on future talent choices this could go up, and the time sphere in particular is promising in this regard

Evilosity - 3/5 - She's a pretty standard murderous evil, with a side of wanting a really good fight and being a bit crazy. There's nothing wrong with crazy evil, and heck, you'd have to be a bit crazy to be like she is, but it's just solid.

Shlock Factor - 5/5 - This is the real winner of Shizuka. She feels like she's straight out of something like Ninja Scroll, or Drifters, or PICK A SAMURAI ANIME. Her intentions toward blood and violence help this a lot. I just get the feeling that she is straight out of a crappy 90s anime.

So, are there any requests for reviews? Or should I random it.
