Actual old thread:

It was a modified Kingmaker campaign.
Two huge armies were marching towards our capital city. We'd just finished kicking out the occupying force, and had spent most of our resources and favors just doing that. We didn't have the BP to fund an army except for some golems an NPC ally had and a couple of Leadership-based follower squads, one of which was cut down from trying to redirect the second army into the first, with limited success.
Our king, being a big dumb Str/Cha build, went off to challenge some orcs for leadership and managed to drag a horde back to help fight, while the team Bard went north to another land and tried to get an audience with one of our enemies.
She was rich, powerful, from an old family, and moreover related to both the leader of one of the invaders and the leader of the occupying force. We didn't have shit to offer her except what we'd just spent half the campaign taking away from her and her cousins.
Except, apparently, the king's hand in marriage. Having been already courting a local cleric, he made a face that could top off a One Piece arc when he found out.
>>52169443
>lets marry one of our rivals
He got backstabbed didn't he
>>52169370
Yes, we were helping a Dragon Overlord (who we eventually would've rebelled against) against his fellow Dragon Overlord from the south who was about to invade him, and we had one month of preparations time. The party being only martials, we did what we best could: Find stuff to kill and benefit from.
The DM telling us we couldn't just go find strong enemies to kill and level from, we made up a plan: We'd go to some camps and forts of the Dragon Overlord at the east, kill everyone there, and leave fake banners and symbols of the southern Dragon Overlord, so that the Dragon Overlord at the east would attack him to help us turn the tables.
It worked too well (not counting a couple brushes with death because taking a few cannonballs to the face still fucking hurts). The Eastern Dragon Overlord marched in with his armies to attack the Southern Dragon Overlord as he was sieging us (Including long-range artillery constructs that exploded on death). It happened that we knew that the Dragon Overlords weren't native from this plane, but had come from somewhere else, and it seems like their presence was what was destabilizing the material plane (the reason why magic was working with far less effectiveness and why we had to face an eldritch horror a few sessions back). Which meant that three in one place damaged the fragile balance that there was, causing eldritch horrors to pop up all over the place, our party barely escaping from the tendril monster-consumed city. (One of use almost died from bleed damage that inflicted CON drain.)
>>52169458
He spent another full year of IRL time expecting it, preparing for it, and...No, never. She went behind his back a few times, but it turned out she was only looking for ways to eliminate rivals to him and their unborn child.
The kicker was that she was a Paladin the whole time and suddenly started carving up devils right when we thought the whole party was well and truly fucked.
>>52169493
Top waifu. What happened to the cleric he was courting?
>>52169493
>your enemy was a top tier waifu all along
lucky bastard
>>52169504
She remained his closest friend, but their relationship gradually turned from a crush to something more platonic.We joked occasionally that she kept the Queen company while he was out questing.
>>52169511
We all expected the GM to be running Cersei Lannister, but she turned out to be Saber.The GM eventually confessed that he'd planned for her to be a recurring antagonist and had been caught completely off guard when the bard made his offer.
>>52169856
Hope they aren't deleting anime cowboys as well
>>52163593
Show me a barbarian who can cast Divination, Dimension Door, heal other people and use restoration on them, can plane shift, and can still kill things higher than their own level without archtypes and then you can call barbarians a T3 class too.
>>52169370
My party, not so much. I'm sure everyone's heard of stories, though.

>are exceptionally overfunded
>have plenty of time, dragon is just hibernating

>>52169968
Two threads got deleted. That means the mods were doing it.
>>52169977
Very well then.
>>52169590
There's a /pfg/ Discord?
>>52170037
Yep, link is right here. https://discord.gg/mKVfn
Fuck it let's talk about something else
How many of you DMs out here let players customize their characters by letting them build their own classes that they have to clear with you?
Yay.
>check two /pfg/ games on r20
>pretty specific 'sheets go here' application threads
>all well and good for people who actually have experience with pathfinder
i've been in 2 games of pf, and am very unsure of my ability to do a sheet without SOME fuckup SOMEWHERE on my own. where the newfolk friendly dm's at? been wanting to give it a go but other games i play/have learned/run have been a bit easier to find learning-games for.
>>52170091
What?
>>52170091
Is that a thing? Wouldn't you end up with a bunch of unbalanced garbage, even if they're doing their best? Or are these games like, super hotfix heavy.
>>52170140
>>52170139
Well since players are using custom classes, obviously bosses and such will be using custom classes too.
It's more because I'm not really a fan of being locked into 'classes' in general, even with multiclassing in there. Obviously I don't just let them do whatever they want, but I feel like a party of heroes that save the world should, well, not really be just your normal Paladin "but stronger".
>>52170153
>I'm not really a fan of being locked into 'classes' in general
Then why would you be Pathfindering and not playing a classless system?
>>52170158
Well, considering my question, it's already a homebrew.
>>52170091
>tfw my players are higher powerlevel than I am so if I use a picture like this for my campaigns nine of of ten times they call me out on using the character's picture incorrectly
Suffering
>>52170091
I'm iffy about homebrew classes. Races, Traits, and feats? sure why not.
Unless what you're trying to do is COMPLETLY un-possible in 1pp or 3pp. Then talk with me about it.
>>52170185
Most of my players homebrew classes are really just vanilla classes with a feature or two swapped out to be some sort of hybrid, or just giving themselves a spell-like ability to be honest.
>>52170203
ahh, that's just working with your player, not really homebrewing.
>>52170209
I mean to be fair, actually homebrewing an entire class takes effort. I mean, yeah, you could probably homebrew oh i don't know a Lancer who starts with a horse, but..

Send me a roll20 pm and I'll help you out. Discord/Skype on request in PM's.
A question, if anyone can help. Does anyone have a link or a description of the Spheres of Power build that broke the destruction sphere over its knee in terms of damage? The character was "he who is free of sin, and cast the first stone" or something like that. Alternatively, any tips for dealing silly amounts of damage with Spheres of Power?
Here's some character art for your trouble.
Is Draconic Bloodrager / Dragon Disciple viable?I really just want to make a dragongirl and that's the closest I can get while being lore-friendly
>>52170714
Try the Dragon Disciple class from Purple duck
>>52170714
It's okay, but you'll need to spend some feats to get rage rounds back, most likely. The kids of BaB hurts, but the extra ALL DAY Str is nice.

Jump into the deep end, anon.
The first ever game I joined with randoms off pfg a year ago was a custom race level 5 gestalt with PoW (which was rare at the time but I guess nothing to blink at now).
It was my second attempt at full initiator and my first attempt at a psionic manifester.
I put the effort in and came out with a really nice character; I got some mechanics wrong but nothing major, and corrected them without issue as the campaign went on.

Is it in the trove? if so, which book?
>>52170834
Prestige archetypes by Purple Duck.
Though i got the class right here. Basically is Magus Archetype
http://hastur.net/wiki/Dragon_Disciple_(Apath)
>>52170348
Most likely it's a crossblooded sorcerer with blood havoc for one level, followed by levels in Elementalist.
>>52170851
Thanks anon.
>>52169370
Huh.
Darkness has a real good effect going on with her hair. The way her coloring and hairstyle is, it makes her look like she's got some divine fire-hair or something.

>Eldritch scoundrel loses Uncanny Dodge/IUD
>Doesn't actually trade it for anything though, just loses it for no real reason
Why tho
>>52170873
Just make that dragon girlEXTRA THICK
>>52170916
The reason you can't pick and choose parts of archetypes to take is because archetype features are absolutely not always 1:1 trades for what they replace. The balance of the archetype has to be evaluated as a whole rather than on any one trade.Eldritch Scoundrel isn't that good though yeah
>>52170981
I... Know? I never pretended mix and match of archetype parts was a thingeven though some archetypes keep some shit hostage behind shit fluff abilitiesso I don't know what you're trying to tell me. Other than just "no, there isn't really one, it's just gimped because rogue is always gimped".
Can I use Profession (Log Cabin Building) to direct a group of Halflings to build a log cabin, even if they don't have Craft (Log Cabin)?

Scarlet Throne Style
>As long as you only attack with a single weapon wielded in one hand during a round, you treat that weapon as if you were wielding it in two hands for the purposes of feats and abilities that would benefit from this change. This does not increase your Strength bonus to damage with the weapon.
>Unlike normal style feats, this style feat can be used with any weapon, and isn’t limited to unarmed strikes.
Does this mean I can one-hand a greatsword?
>>52171160
No, it still has to be a one-handed weapon, dingus
>>52171160
You need to be able to attack with it in one hand, which you can't.

It's a POPULARITY CONTEST.

How do you explain being part-dragon in a setting where literally everyone knows that dragons are at best beasts and at worst working to end humanity

>>52171328
"My dad wanted to fug a dragon. Like, really fug a dragon."

He didn't ask to be born a half-dragon you shitlicker.
>>52171328
>How do you explain being part-dragon in a setting where literally everyone knows that dragons are at best beasts and at worst working to end humanity
Mom got cocksleeved by a dragon she was hunting, the abomination she gave birth to was given the best treatment something that monstrous could get - mild neglect.
>Hard Mode : Still have to be able to walk into town without being lynched
Due to said neglect, the character has despised their draconic heritage, filing down their horns and maybe even trying to crop their tail with rings and tight-binding ribbons. Anything to remove the obvious signs of what happened to dear ole mom.I've got art of this, if you want it.
>>52170091
Sure, since there's no set power level in the system, but wholly dependant on your group, a normal player should be able to create something custom which fits in with the rest.
Since he has to show it to me first, I can also compare to the others. I could even imagine doing it level by level.

It's that /d/ comic isn't it
Don't post it
It makes me sad
>>52171366Character's a lamia
>>52170714
Depends on your group. If you play rather optimized stuff, you might want to ask your GM for at least 1/2 progression in your Bloodrager features from Dragon Disciple levels
>>52171366
>spoiler
Take it to /d/.
>>52171392
Yeah, it's that one.
The sad one.
>>52171309
Man... I really want to two-weapon fight with Greatswords now despite how bad of an idea that is.
>>52171404
Isn't there a sequel
>>52171366
Gib
>>52171077
Since it's your job, you should be able to instruct them. If your GM says no, just ask him how apprenticeship then works, because that's what you're doing.
>>52171378
Point is, I'm a sitting duck with my optimization! I won't stand a chance even though I want this character to become something great!
>>52171249
>6/5/5
>at level 7
>when you should have at least a +5 to your good save
So do you have 12 con, 10 dex, or 10 wis?
Is there any class that lets me do short range (like 15') teleportation with each of my attacks?
>>52171442
Any class that gets access to Veiled Moon discipline?
>>52171427
Go read the rules again. It's a vote. It's a popularity contest. You can win without ever winning a match.
>>52171417
No.

I can't find it!

Not much to show.Tough blonde warrior-woman faces down an elephant-sized dragon, gets defeated and mounted like an over-tight breeding sow, gives birth to a half-dragon baby that causes the woman's husband to leave in shame and disgust.She goes insane, tries to kill the kid, then realizes the kid's all she has left in the world. Cue 10 years later, where the half-dragon daughter is tearfully leaving the mom's grave and out to adventure.

Ganbatte ne, Anon.
>>52171519
Also, if it takes more than three weeks to get the roster, I'll either be setting the number of players to 16, or filling the rest with NPCs.
Also, I'ma shill my game really fast.

Come get ganked by or gank all the people you already lost to in all the other applications you've submitted.
>>52171509
>>52171503
It's also usually what happens in half-orc backstories.
It's an absurdly bleak comic that tells a story most people gloss over.
>>52171519
>>52171551
Celestial DM! Celestial DM!
Are there *really* only two people who applied to the game, or did other people PM you a character?
>>52171602
I've had people send me messages asking questions and a couple of people send me their intentions to make a sheet, but I ACTUALLY only have two finished sheets so far. Everything else was people spitballing.
>>52171493
This is what happens when you roll that one nat 1 and lose to the Elder Black Dragon
Never forget the fate of your fallen characters ;_;7
>>52171519
Will people be leveling up over the course of the tournament or is it locked at 7?
Ever felt like giving up?
>>52171658
Every day.
>>52171658
All the time.
Hell, I think if I don't picked for the games I'm applying for I'm gonna leave /tg/ for a few months.
It's to the point that I seriously contemplated not even filling out a character sheet for my apps cause I already know I'm not being picked.
Is it inappropriate to warn a player that their backstory application is too much for the level they're starting at?
>>52171646
Locked at 7 for the course of the tournament, but the winners will be bumped to level 8 when it's over.
>>52171493
Wait, I think I remember that one. It was bleak, but the ending was hopeful?
>>52171728
No, it's useful and appropriate. It's simply nonsensical for someone to give their level 1 rogue a badass story with the international thieves guild.
>>52171743
Bumped to level 8... And then what?
Doesn't that make them gods?
>>52171728
Nope. Tell him, or at least ask interrogatory questions until he gets the point. Stuff like "so if we're supposed to be level X, how did your character do Y?"
>>52171748
Hopeful in the sense that the half-dragon woman is now an adventurer in a world where dragonspawn are probably universally seen as rape-babies?
>>52171757
Hahaha. You think it's that easy? This is the Starstone we are dealing with here. This is simply the first of many trials.The party will start to accumulate mythic ranks until they make it to Level 20/MR 10, at which point, their ascension is complete. If you die, guess what, you failed the test.
If you've got concealment and mirror images which do you roll for first?
>>52171789
How did we get to the Celestial Tournament?
>>52171847
Took the Great Bamboozling for a Ruse Cruise.
Stupid frogposter.
>>52171634
Celestial DM! Celestial DM!
If I take "only has one arm" as a major flaw, can I get a bonus feat?
>>52171779
Well, in that she's able to stand on her own legs at least. Doesn't make it not still sad. ;-;
>>52171878
Yes, but it must be a combat feat.
>>52171940
Oh boy, oh boy. Stupendous Strength, Landsknecht, Scarlet Throne incoming.
>>52171940
Alright, Improved Quick Draw here I come!
>>52171249
>Lokhar has +8, +14, +11 saves
So he's a Stalker, which grants him a base of 2 2 5.
Ability Scores bumps him up to 4 8 8
He's got a +2 cloak of resistance, and the Sacred Tattoo racial trait, giving +3 to all. 7 11 11
Trait to add +1 to Fort saves. 8 11 11
Stalker ability to add Wisdom to Reflex saves. 8 14 11
>>52171999
Clearly I'm just bad at this. Guess that's another concept in the trash.
>>52172061
>Players who are dropped from the tournament either due to losing twice or scheduling issues are invited to sit on the voting committee, which, through popular vote, will decide the winners of each rounds.
You aren't actually brawling against each other AFAIK.
These games are not even fun to begin with so you don't lose anything by not getting in.
So, shitty idea for a character:
>high level Mesmerist goes north
>encounters a young linnorm
>Mesmerist casts dominate monster
>Mesmerist gets their wizard friend to cast Polymorph any object to turn the linnorm into a cute girl
>Mesmerist waifus the linnorm
>Has kid with the linnorm
>This kid turns out to be extremely destructive.
Could it work?
>>52172140
How big are the kid's tits?
>>52172140
That's called rape anon.
>>52172164
Yes, and...?
>>52172164
I think the character is the kid, not the mesmerist.
>>52171999
I haven't posted Calima's sheet yet, but she's got
UMonk 3, Inquisitor 4 is 5,4,5
Ability scores for 8,6,12
Cloak of Resistance for 9,7,13
And then maybe a trait for another +1 to reflex, not sure yet.
Why does cloak of resistance even exist?
It is bad design to have something so boring yet powerful by only math in the game
>>52172162
I mean
Linnorms are basically Scandinavian dragons, and dragons have pretty big titties.
The daddy is a Mesmerist, who are renowned for being very pretty
The kid is then a half-linnorm, so id assume they'd be pretty curvy
>>52172164
Mesmerists, not even once
>>52172235
Why do stat boosting items even exist? Why do enchanted weapons even exist?
>>52172289
Because status quo feels comforting?
Why do martials even exist when Casters do everything they do, but better.
>>52172309
I wanted to say hit people but then I remembered Emblem of Greed and I got sad.
>>52172309
Kill yourself, martials exist because not everyone wants to waggle their fingers and say magic words to kill people
>>52172087
>>52172061
You are brawling against each other, but its based on performance, not on raw effectiveness in combat. Its who brings more to the table to make the fight exciting.
>>52172309
Why even continue existing in real world?
There will always be people who are more successful than you and are actually loved by others.
>>52172251
What's the titty dragon doing in Golarion?
>>52172365
They're being angry because their tits are too big and they get made fun of for looking like a slut? Its why they're smashing people to death with a gigantic sword.
I was planning something like a Two-Handed Fighter VMC Barbarian (with a brutal Slayer on the other side if gestalt) which makes sense.
>>52172365
Dahak's a weirdo.
>>52172349
And what constitutes exciting, anyway?
>>52172399
It's a performance, anon. You are impressing the GM first, and then everybody else. YOU have to be the one to decide how to accomplish that.
>>52172390
>Their tits are too big
No such thing
>They look like a slut
Her fault for wearing stuff that shows off the tits and wild curve of her hips! Throw on a breastplate and armored skirt.
Just so we're clear; no interest in a non-lewd, non-erp game? Don't really care what you kinks do off-stage, but I care not to participate.
>>52172354
>implying success exists
>implying legacy exists
>implying anon's not just too afraid to face oblivion
Death will inherit this world. Your monuments will crumble. Your armies will fail. Your kings will burn. And in the end, you too will see how futile it all was, when you feel the cold fingers of the void grasp you for that final moment. Just before everything goes blank, and you cease to be.
>>52172415
>>52172415
Yes but those make her chafe! Her scales are sensitive. That's why she only wears a tunic for decency
>>52172424
Pretty sure you'll get enough applicants if you throw up a LFG page.
>>52172424
I'm already in such a game, so no need.
>>52172424
I'd be interested, but I dunno if I have time, or if the IG game I was in will ever pick back up. Hammering on the "non-lewd" too hard might make some people think you'll go too far in the other direction compared to other games.
>>52172495
I'm a grown ass man and can handle R/X scenarios, but I would prefer it not be the focus of my campaign.
>>52172495
Eh, I disagree. Fuck, I'm running two lewd games, and /pfg/ is the kind of crowd you want to stress this about. People who want to play pathfinder will apply anyway.
Do you guys want a virtual circle-jerk or a campaign?
>>52172540
>>52172540
Not even Puella is fucking on screen anon
>>52172540
I want a GM who doesn't seem like they're trying to condemn me for whacking it.
>>52172569>tfw I play in a game with onscreen ERP
>it's kinda nice because then everyone's included by default and there's no pressure to awkwardly arrange erp with other players with busy schedules outside of game time
>>52172426
I'm still mad about that gif.
But hey, the Horde's gotta win, right?
>>52172520
>>52172530
Never said it was bad to want "non-lewd", just that hammering it too much would just be a turn off for even some that would be interested. A line about mature themes and keeping it in your pants during actual sessions is all you need. Any more just makes you start to sound too focused on it.God knows I'm pretty much gonna beg my GM to actually enforce "not on session time" for that shit.
>>52172540
>implying everything doesn't devolve into a circlejerk
Do you know where you are?
>>52172599
How the heck does the game even function with those kind of distractions.
>>52172429
>Scales
>Sensitive
At least wear a big puffy coat to hide the goods, or maybe bind them down?
What game is this girl even for, anyway?
>>52172540
...Yes.
>>52172413
What's the point in a performance when the DM doesn't even have enough people for a 4-person group.
Everyone's getting in by default.

Relaxed pacing.

Some deviant things take only 10 minutes of game time because people aren't playing out full proper sex.

It's more just a shitty idea that came to mind after seeing the dragon comic talked about above, but if you-know-who dies in Dragon 2 I might consider them.
>>52172717
That game used to be 'When the sun falls down' but everybody REE'd at me for my character creation rules, which is fine. So I deleted those applications, since it was a different game with different character creation rules.

I want a game where that's an option for me and where the GM won't reee because characters have sex off screen. I don't need you to moderate it or anything, just stop acting like I can't have both.

Oh my god that's called being a responsible adult you dingus, literally everyone in the history of online text-based adventure assumes romance is going to happen on-screen, and whatever happens off is your prerogative. Just don't come squealing when someone thinks you're a weirdo for asking if they want to fuck you.

>>52172764
>Does anybody want to play a game where it is not about fucking party members or every hot NPC you come across?
Yes.
>>52172699
Hard truths hurt, honey. I want to apply to a Starstone campaign but this one feels DoA.
Want my advice? A Starstone campaign should be absurdly high-powered. I despise how the word is ubiquitous around here, but in-lore only the greatest of the greats try to perform the Test, I'm talking level 15 and up with Mythic ranks going in.
>>52172829
Humor me, anon. Can we rap?
>>52172824
>Eiffel tower
Hrm.
I always wanted to see logs of that. It sounded fun.
>>52172852
I still want it to be a full campaign though. I have plans for this one to stretch all the way L20/MR10, but just not at the very start. I like to see the players grow and get stronger and develop. It's basically the reason I GM.That and I can't get into a fucking game for some reason.
>>52172744
You should make her for another campaign!
>>52172884
Why don't you spitroast or get spitroasted on your own time, in your own campaign?
>>52172900
You know I probably should! It sounds fun.
Though I probably need to work on the personality. I suck at personalities. I usually have to RP for a little while to get acclimated to a personality.
>>52172884It wasn't, but it hopefully teaches me to be a better employee from now on.
>>52172899
Anon... How do I put this? People who take the Test don't actually change or develop, they in fact should *not* change or develop their personalities because... Get this, a god(dess) that doesn't have a portfolio or obvious convictions is hardly worth being a goddess at all. Do you think Iomedae went through half of the cathedral before realizing she actually was kinda into being a Paladin? Was Cailean a huge slaver asshole before touching the stone and going "hey, I was kind of a jerk before..."
This isn't a journey of self-discovery, this is a journey of apotheosis and the crystallization of your essence into god-stuff.
>>52172611
>Sylvanas is now in charge
Did they, though?
>>52172922
Oh for sure, I'm the same way. Takes maybe five sessions to get in the zone, but those rare instances where I can actually get into it from game start are a treat.
Hmm, the personality depends a lot on how you see this girl behaving. She's a virginal girl-next-door in a body built for breeding, yeah? Sounds like the type of girl that enjoys he attention her body brings, but at the same time feels deeply unsatisfied with the TYPE of attention she's getting. She wants a person that ogles her personality as much as her chest, you know?
>>52172935
WEW lad, I can see that happening
>>52172852
Except that's fucking false.
"Although hundreds enter the massive structure every year, and only four are known to have ever won the ultimate prize of divinity, a few brave explorers have escaped the cathedral with their lives—and sometimes vast treasures." - Campaign Setting, pg. 54
There aren't hundreds of level 15+ people with Mythic on all of Golarion, and we know the people who are because that's worldchanging power.
>>52173017I just want a high-level Mythic campaign that doesn't take two years to reach the good stuff.
>>52173004
You hit it right on the head. She's got a rockin' body that is to die for, and she LOVES attention, its just that the attention she gets isn't the attention she likes. More than likely she'd try and get more powerful in order to lord over people, and MAKE them love her for her strength and prowess, but she gets flustered easily. She'd probably be the type to smack someone she likes over the head if she caught him staring, but then apologize afterwards because she doesn't like being looked at
>>52172957
Woah. The tournament doesn't start in the Starstone. It's preparation. I have lore for this prepared, but I want it to be revealed slowly over the course of the campaign, rather than upfront.
When the party takes the test of the Starstone, that will end the campaign. What the fuck do you when your players are already gods?
>>52173047
Then say that anon. Don't lie about who takes the Test of the Starstone.
>>52173098
>What the fuck do you when your players are already gods?
The same shit they always do? I dunno, senpai.
>>52173047
Why not just play Exalted or something
>>52172914
The fucking porn is >> that way.
So, my party has just been "asked" by a giant river viper that could talk and was axiomatic to kill a yuan-ti cult that has encroached on it's lands.
Apparently, the yuan-ti have been here for a while, and have warred against others (we trawled the bottom of the river, a lot of bones).
So we are sorta walking blindly into a yuan-ti encampment to murder them all.
How fucked are we, at level 5, party of 4 with 1 hireling.
>We managed to survive the redcaps, I came in and btfo'd 2 of them after they absolutely shanked me AND the swordsage (crits on both of us with scythes, they confirmed on him, dropped him to -8) while the monk dragon kicked the last one clear out of the Milky Way

Though if I could get some help in, ahem, fleshing out her personality and back story, I'd appreciate it anon.
>>52173161
I suggest using proper skirmish and sabatogue tactics. Play the long game, destroy their supplies and mess with them
Then, when they are weak and at eachother's scaly throats, then go in for the kill.
In otherwords, give them the ol' Vicksburg Anaconda treatment
>>52173196
I'd do that, as I have a half of a tactical mindset, but the rest of the players don't.
We also have to find the fuckers first, we believe they are underground.
How powerful are yuan-ti, anyway? I've never seen or even heard of a DM using them as adversaries.
>>52173193
Well! I could totally do that, I'd just need to actually get on my computer for some proper typing!
Want a place to start? Check out the Norse Goddess Freyja - she's a fertility goddess and associated with beauty and love, but she's ALSO a War goddess with her fingers in death, magic and prophecy.
Also do realize that Linnorm blood is cursed blood. She could either be cursed or cursing anyone she gets close to.
>>52173238
Minimum of 3, with scaling up to 7.
And that's without class levels, which is very common for Yuan-ti to have
>>52173255
Definitely. Its a workable concept- she's a walking forbidden fruit. Touch her and incite her ire.
Also, will look into Freyja. I just usually RP characters first to iron out personalities and back story.
What use is diplomacy? Four sessions into a game and not once have we rolled any social skills, excluding one intimidate check that failed.
>>52173302
Different campaigns are different, anon.
>>52173302
>What use is diplomacy?
Convincing people in RP to listen o your opinion and to consider it and possibly be convinced by it. Useful in avoiding combat and getting extra resources, backup, and information gathering, meaning its useless for most murderhobos.

Yup, that's the gist of it. Also, they tend to rely a lot on compulsion spells.

Not him, but something that slots nicely into Linnorm assholery is if she'sdeaf, and thus only able to communicate or perceive the world through smells, gazes and hand gestures.
What makes things hard is men almost always smell like they want to bang her, or their eyes are clearly wandering where they should not.

That works perfectly
I will use this, thank you. And she has to communicate through written word and gestures rather than actually speaking. She gets a reputation as being a fiery, hot-headed bitch who hates it when men look at her the wrong way but she ends up being a lot more reasonable if they know she's deaf
Celestial DM. Are you using Paizo rules or DSP rules with regards to archetype stacking? Specifically stuff like one archetype modifying a bonus feat list and another replacing the bonus feat.
>>52173539I don't consider Amuzak a meme though, he's actually evolved into a legit character that I want to play out
>>52173382
>Also, they tend to rely a lot on compulsion spells.
Well, I know how to deal with that.
>>52173550
>And she has to communicate through written word and gestures rather than actually speaking.
Yup, and the only sounds she's really able to make are near-feral growling or grunts, and *maybe* a few words that will sound pretty damn awkward coming from a woman like her.It also means she hates getting touched, unless she explicitly knows who the person is or can identify their scent. The girl's got some major intimacy issues that are only expanded on the fact she thinks people only want to be with her to be *in* her./spoiler]
I've just started the Jade Regent Ap, and in the next session we'll left the town with the caravan. Any advice for the caravan's feat?
>>52173751
Most certainly. It'd be like Scarlett Johansen speaking in faltering, broken English. A very beautiful woman with a lot of trouble communicating.
However, if she /did/ find someone who can actually communicate with her... They'd likely get along because she would FINALLY have someone she can talk to!
>kind of want to play a rogue/ninja, but even unchained versions looks mediocre to me

>>52173751

It was a unique experience, though I couldn't keep pace with some of the faster talking RP sessions and if I rolled higher on myAwareness teststhen the others it was difficult to explain to that that danger was present until I got permission from the GM to teach the other playersCiphers (my character's name).
>>52173629
Anon, my best characters all started as shitty one-off shitposts. Go for it.

Isn't there a Vigilante Ninja archetype that's better than Ninja because it's not Ninja?
>>52173805
But who would know how to communicate with a grumpy linnorm lady?
>>52173859
Someone who can read Draconic?
>>52173859
Herfuturehusband.
>>52173859
Maybe her dad taught her how to write in common and Draconic? Maybe she travels with a telepath? Maybe she's really good at pantomime? I'm sure a lot of people would try to communicate with a grumpy linnorm lady if she looked like a 10/10 hottie
>>52173785
Are you the DM? If so, throw away the caravan mechanics, they suck ass.
If, however, you're keen on using them... What do you mean by feats? I didn't know the Caravan had feats.
>>52173564
Woops, sorry about that. Was getting some grub. Paizo rules, unless the archetype explicitly states otherwise.
An example
This ability alters bonus feats, but does not cause the monk of the silver fist archetype to be incompatible with other archetypes that alter the bonus feats class feature.
>>52173843
Yes, and it would probably work, it's just the principle of the matter. Vivesectionist, Vigilante, and Investigator all look pretty alright, but I just have an obsession with shit classes.

Anyone have any advice when making a Gunslinger character? All I Kow about the class is:
>DEX is your best stat
>I want to use a musket
>GM is using the Emerging Guns style
>Starting at level 1.
Any help would be appreciated.
>>52174613
SoP is on the table.
>>52174625
Be a Musket Master, and don't take more than 5 levels in Gunslinger. After level 5 you're better off in a different class. You want to hit level 5 for dex to damage.
>>52174632
Still not worth a damn in PvP., Sphere blasting effectiveness is usually blown out of proportion. You can do better than a Paizo Vanician Blaster or a Psionic Blaster, but you won't be able to kill people fast enough before they can end you.
You're best bet if he goes the Spheres route is to take Death Admixture and start forcing 1dX*1.5 temp negative levels on everyone he blasts assuming they take damage from the attack at all. Even then, he's still toast against a competent martial.
>people thinking normal optimization and PvP optimization is the same thing
No they're entirely different, what the fuck are people doing.
>>52174625
Once you hit level 5 multiclass into something else. No idea what but the majority of all Gunslinger class abilities stop being worth the level investment after level 5.
Pick yourself up a bandolier or three for style. Also, pick human as the race and Point-Blank shot plus Precise shot. You'll get bonuses to ranged attacks and avoid the penalty for firing into melee, almost insuring you'll hit with every attack against late game creatures.
The circlet of persuasion and bracers of the glib entertainer stack for skill bonuses, right?
The circlet offers a +3 competence to all Cha-based skills while the bracers offer a +5 competence bonus to perform. Because these two competence bonuses are at different levels (one generic, one specific) it allows them to stack, just like an enhancement bonus to fortitude and enhancement bonus against poison would stack as well, right?
>>52174505
Celestial Tournament is a meme contest? Shit, man. Had I known, I would've added the whole "1,000-times-folded katana" nonsense to my dude's backstory.
>>52174717
Nope. Two bonuses of the same type don't stack, especially competence bonuses. So you'd get the highest bonus from among the same type and the others don't matter.
>>52171463
Both are interesting.
Goliath druid has the added bonus that you can keep gears and weapons when you wildshape into a giant so I'd probably pick it more often due to the 'versatility'.
Losing the cool forms of regular wildshape is a downside though.
>>52174732
I'm making a Mahou Shoujo Idol Goblin, Grublub-Chan.

YOU FOOLS
STARSTONE IS A CONSPIRACY TO KILL POTENTIAL DEMIGODS
THEY ARE ALL IN THE SCHEME
IRORI WAS RIGHT
THEY ARE NOT REAL GODS
I think Katapesh DM accidentally took a newbie into his game.
>>52174902
oh no
what now
>>52174919
I mean to emphasize accidentally. I think a newbie asked to skip the selection and he accidentally agreed yes.
I was the GM of a Rise of the Runelords campaign that has since unfortunately died. The players had this quite stupid plan that would've made for interesting RP, so I was willing to allow it.
They wanted to force the goblins they had captured during the initial attack on Sandpoint into a slave colony (I was using the Chopper's Isle sidequest from Wayfinder #7, so after that they had the perfect place, in their mind, to do so). The idea was to justify it to Magnimar as a penal colony for their crimes (since slavery is illegal in Magnimaran territory, even for filthy subcreatures like goblins).
However, I wasn't going to do the work for it since I had to focus on actually preparing the campaign. So, I told them to use the downtime rules to plan it. One player spent a good chunk of time mapping it all out, then realized he read some numbers wrong and saw it wouldn't be that profitable.
They abandoned the plan, for which I secretly thanked the cosmos. But it would have been interesting.
If I have +19 in UMD, does that mean that I auto-succeed with wands, or do I still have to roll in case if I roll a 1 and disable the wand for 24 hours?
>>52174843
It's quite brilliant when you think about it.
The DM has made a situation where you are encouraged to twink the fuck out of your build... But at the same time, he can pull the plug on your character in a heartbeat if the build isn't backed with story.
>>52174843
THE ONLY THING I KNOW FOR REAL
THERE WILL BE BLOOD.
SHED.
>>52174961
Roll for that nat 1.
>>52174961
Natural 1 is only an auto-fail on saving throws and attack rolls, as well as any situation where it specifically states you do.
>>52174788
I have a chicken solo.
>>52174975
Most decent builds are pretty fluff agnostic though.
>>52174994
It only locks out for 24 hours if he rolls a natural 1 AND fails. If it's a DC 20, then even a nat 1 meets the DC with a +19 mod.
There's no point in rolling for it in this scenario.

>>52175646
Calima isn't just "the slightest inkling" of being a video game character. A Calima is a wind, and her creed, like all Metal Gear characters, is extreme and slightly wrong political philosophy. She was literally designed as a Wind of Destruction.
t. Calima's player
>>52175676
>>anime comprises all outlandish/ornamental outfits and magic swords
No but when the character is partially inspired by fucking GUILTY GEAR of all things, then it's safe to call them fucking anime.
>>52175687
Who the heck is Calima.

The Celestial Tournament character who's designed as a Wind of Destruction that I was referencing up here >>52174843
>>52175687
Shizuka is also pretty transparently a wind of destruction, given she's at least 50% based on Jetstream sam
>>52175694
You talking shit about Guilty Gear, son?

>>52175676
The more outlandish/ornamental a low level character becomes the more anime they are. The guy's literally inspired by an anime game character.
And yeah sure, I'll look ahead a bit in this conversation and say anime doesn't hold a monopoly on overdesigned bullshit, but are you going to tell me Warcraft is a solid piece of storytelling to base a character off of?
>>52175741
Why the fuck are you wearing a name?
>>52174185
She is designed to suffer. Despite her father being a wizard, he still went to bed with a linnorm. And linnorms are cursed
Celestial GM here.
Anime is fine.
>>52175717
I don't even have an issue with anime, dipshit. But it does kinda reflect poorly on /pfg/'s taste when the most popular characters are pretty much just animu tropes ripped wholesale from tvtropes.
>>52175774
>taste
Taste is subjective you fucktard, who gives a shit what anyone thinks of your 'taste'

If this turns into a "Fiery hotblooded youth is an anime trope," again I'm going to get really mad.

She is named after a wind and her philosophy is misquoted Mao. She was designed with the idea to make her a Wind of Destruction-esque character.

Let me guess, he eats a lot of food too.
He's so rambunctious! Fiery hotblooded characters exist in Western literature of course, but the qualities /pfg/ assign to theirs always seem to come from the Nippon.

Is JOOOOKE, Lighten up senpaitachi. I don't remember him having a son, are you from the future?I like how the character's art is actually super plain.
I think I've figured it out. In order to make a character that fits in with the rest of pfg's tastes, I have to make a character that isn't entirely based on a meme or gimmick, but pass that character off to everyone as if it were nothing more than an extension of that meme or gimmick!
>>52175989
Those aren't pants.
It's just more belts.
>>52175960
>after two sessions
Anon...
>>52175891
The difference is that Ishiwatari was doing the whole crazy belts thing before EVERYONE ELSE.
He did it first, and none of his character designs are cookie cutter or "anime standard"
>>52175922
Because your tone is making the term "anime" a perjorative.
Yes, we know it's fucking anime, and it's still more creative in design and presentation than most western properties you can name. It's like screaming that Berserk is "anime": who the fuck cares, it's good.
>>52175960
This?
>>52176004
Honestly chuuni explosion memes are just the surface level of what makes Rinka neat.
Its her actual underlying issues and stuff that make her interesting and make me want to see her in a game
She has immediate appeal as well as long term interest with a possible character arc and development.
She also has a cool build of gun-magic and melee gun-fighting
>>52176006
basically yes, there's nothing wrong with basing your character off of a gimmick

>>52176902
No one here besides a few 3pp writers are doing this as a living, it's a fucking hobby.
Yes, even your (theoritical) homebuild setting is shit. What you think are great ideas to add in your world is just shit you and your friends will find cool. It's not something publisher worthy, but stuff you spend your free time on that you enjoy.
Worldbuilding, ERPing, writing a backstory for a character, there's no inherent differences in this case.
/pfg/ has a discord, right?
>>52176926
Especially since this all like 100% opinion based. For instance, I appreciate the cinematography and overall mastery that made Bicycle Thieves, but I just don't find it that interesting a movie to watch outside my film study courses.
>>52176882
I mean that's still not an excuse for it reading like a middle schooler's fan fiction project.
>>52176947
It was a shitty joke trying to insinuate you need to be a pretentious asshole to understand setting, characterization and described actions.
>>52176925
I have similar reservations. And that's mostly because this apparent need for infamy is going to make anybody else who gets in on that theoretical game look bad by association.
>>52176962
The thing you're forgetting is that most ERP is not made for external consumption.
And that both players are usually masturbating in between posts.
Cut them some slack, man. They're having fun with each other.
>>52176942I wish I had normie experience to draw on, but I am a simple NEET who just wanted to pretend to be a swordsman
>>52176951
Nothing you said made their writing any better. The writing is still garbage. You're literally just trying to pull stuff out of your ass to try and distract from how bad it is.
I don't care about my own setting, it's quality, high or low, has no impact on the fact that the ERP posted reads like it was written by a middle schooler in their first foray into fanfiction.

>>52176981
If they didn't want to be judged as external consumption then they shouldn't have posted it for external consumption. It's laughably bad even for typing with one hand.
>>52176926
Bicycle Thieves is an awful example, use true kino like Armageddon or Mordecai.

It really isn't. If this is the average quality of this place then I am severly fucking discouraged from playing with anyone here.

Just out of curiosity, what (if any) level of quality would you need to see in a damn ERP log for you to consider it adequate? Like, I'm not asking for a thorough deconstruction of that log, just... If you're already going to derail the thread with this subject, instead of just railing on the writers trying to convince everybody in the thread that they're shit, why not do something constructive and give some advice?
Not that I thought there was much wrong with it. It's not like published novel, but it doesn't need to be. I just almost feel bad for the people that wrote it getting publicly trashed like this. That sort of nasty attitude is infinitely worse than any lewds shitposting and meming as far as I'm concerned. It's singlehandedly dragging the entire thread into a fringe discussion that's even less related to Pathfinder than talking about characters in a /pfg/ game, because it's turned into talking about the players of characters in a /pfg/ game.
Like. Is this actually about the ERP at this point? Or is it about your grievances with the one or more of the players?
>>52177073
Writing quality ceci n'est pas player attitude.We're looking at another Espagnoll-in-Hell's Vengeance here.
>>52177134
