Pathfinder General /pfg/

What do you use to play an unarmored, divine, dedicated full caster not strictly worse than a conventional divine gish?

It turns out that something very interesting can be done with the Creation handbook playtest for SoP, which I have left comments on:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kitAB8sHgmuD3fvOMuI_KyV_dxpO2wrxQmbnCoRgglA/edit#

This is a basic talent available at 1st-level:

>Wondrous Wardrobe
>You need not spend a spell point to create or alter non-magical clothing, non-magical fake jewelry, or other parts of a mundane disguise, and the create or alter effect is an instantaneous effect as self-evidently mundane material. You are still limited to the materials you can create. Fake jewelry created by this talent is difficult to tell apart from real jewels at a glance, requiring a DC 20+CL Perception check to notice without prolonged interaction. A full minute of study and a DC 15 Appraise check reveals their fraudulent nature, however.

>As a free action, you can designate any non-magical clothing, non-magical jewelry, or parts of a mundane disguise you have created to disappear at a specific point in time, such as the stroke of midnight.

>As a standard action, you can create or alter any mundane disguise on yourself or a willing creature, and you are treated as having used a disguise kit. Since the creation or alter is instantaneous, this is not a magical disguise. If you have the Exquisite Detail talent you receive a bonus to your Disguise check equal to ½ the usual bonus granted by the talent.

>If you have the ability to change creatures' forms (such as via the Alteration sphere or the Alternate Form racial trait) then as part of using that ability you may create or alter clothing on the affected creatures as a free action.

This lets you create a limitless amount of 30 gp courtier's outfits out of cotton and/or linen. You can then sell as many as possible, and disassemble the rest into cotton and/or linen for adventuring or mercantile purposes.

If you are feeling mischievous, you might outfit a city with these courtier's outfits, only to have all of them vanish.

Let us take this a step further. With caster level 5th for Creation (possible at 3rd-level with a sphere specialization and a 2,000 gp staff of Creation +1) and the Expanded Materials basic talent, you can create iron, steel, and copper.

You can then use Wondrous Wardrobe to create courtier's outfits with steel components (e.g. buckles, crinolines), and then promptly melt down that steel for use elsewhere.

Moving along to more dedicated investments, there is this for the incanter:

>Master of Creation (2 specialization points)
>At 1st level, you gain the Creation sphere as a bonus magic talent. (If you already possess the Creation sphere you gain the Expanded Materials talent as a bonus magic talent. If you already possess this talent, you may instead select any other Creation sphere talent as a bonus talent.)

>Starting at 3rd level, any create effect you perform costs 1 fewer spell point than normal (to a minimum of 0).

>At 5th level, you gain the Exquisite Detail talent as a bonus magic talent. If you already possess this talent, you may instead select any other Creation sphere talent as a bonus talent.

>At 8th level, you gain a +1 bonus to caster level for Creation create effects. This stacks normally with caster levels gained from other sources.

What could possibly justify staying in incanter for more than a one-level dip? Let us see.

>Sustenance
>You may create a small amount of bland, tasteless food, enough for one person, without spending a spell point. The food is made of vegetable and plant matter, resembling what could be found in the wild, but lacks any taste and has only the minimal amount of nutritional value needed for survival. This is an instantaneous effect that cannot be dispelled and is in all other ways normal food.

>By spending a spell point you may instead create any non-poisonous vegetable dish with its appropriate taste, enough for 1 medium creature per caster level. If you have the fleshcrafting advanced talent you may create meat dishes. If you possess the exquisite detail talent you may use Profession (cook) or similar skills to create more extraordinary dishes.

>Additionally, you may create beverages, either water or grog, without spending a spell point. This produces enough liquid to fill a single cup. While water functions as normal, the grog tastes even worse than its mundane counterpart.

>By spending a spell point you may instead create more and higher quality beverages, including but not limited to milk, other alcoholic liquids, and fruit juice. These liquids provide the normal benefits and taste perfectly average. If you possess the exquisite detail talent you may use appropriate craft or profession skills to improve the quality.

Here we are. Ensure that you have a high bonus in Profession (cook) or a similar skill. Then, as a 3rd-level incanter with Master of Creation, feed the multitude with exquisite-tasting vegetarian dishes. Remember that chocolate and many sugars are vegetarian, so you could hoard for yourself all the chocolate and sugar you could ever desire, and possibly sell them as needed.

You'll need a portable cradle, swaddling clothes and prestidigitation to clean the billion diapers.
>>
>>52223341
>>52223386

Addendum: The Practiced Creation feat can substitute for Master of Creation here.

>Practiced Creation
>Prerequisites: Creation sphere, Lengthened Creation talent.

>Benefit: You may increase the casting time of any create effect by 1 step to reduce the spell point cost by 1 (to a minimum of 0). Increasing the casting time to one minute, and for every step beyond, reduces the spell point cost by an additional point. (Ex: Increasing a standard action create effect to a full round action reduces the cost by 1 spell point. Increasing it to 1 minute reduces the cost by 2, and increasing it to 10 minutes reduces the cost by 3.)

I wonder; given both Master of Creation and Practiced Creation, are there any high-spell-point-cost works of the Creation sphere that would be rather cheesy to produce for free?

This isn't intended as a personal insult, but I think this sort of thinking is exactly why nearly nothing interesting in base Pathfinder can be used at-will, and on the rare occasions it can, its effects aren't permanent. Paizo's scared of problem-players thinking along these lines.

For all the core Spheres of Power book's problems, it was actually reasonable in the case of "middle-of-the-pack" spheres like Creation.

The original Creation sphere could create instantaneous-duration objects ex nihilo only with an advanced talent that required caster level 10th, Create Materials. Even then, it barred off gems, precious metals, or rare metals.

The newer sphere-specific handbooks are being authored by different authors with different sensibilities, which is why they vary enormously in terms of quality and mechanical balance.

As the anon who was asking about NPCs, srsly, shut the fuck up. You contribute nothing except sperging out and shitflinging accusations.
My primary question is what is appropriate for use as npcs, whether or not classes like ranger, barbarian, even initiators were sensible, and baseline levels for skill to use as a rule of thumb.
What I'd be more concerned about is the level 7 party that can only find level 1-3 men at arms because MUH BESTIARY, meaning their search is functionally a waste of time.
Fuck, I'd be ok if the level 2 party found a level 5 fighter to lead them, became his sidekicks, and let him take a double share of the loot in exchange for experience ringer support. I'd do that myself, honestly, because it would be such a turn around on expectations.

Speaking of the avowed, Overcharge Modulation is still in need of revision, at least for its scaling at 5th-level.

Consider the following: generic 5th-level avowed, Charisma modifier +6, area shape with 1d6 damage per caster level, three purchases, Overcharge Modulation. That is 9d6+9 damage, for an average of 40.5 damage.

Average CR 4 hit points is 39.2.

That is a good shot of taking out a large chunk of an encounter in one turn.

Even better, since the avowed is *apparently* being balanced with Bloodforge: Infusions in mind (unless I have misunderstood Forrestfire Studios' stance on this?), you can be an entoli for +2 Dexterity, +2 Charisma, and -2 Constitution. The Constitution penalty will be irrelevant with Altered Life and Unnatural Vitality. Entoli have access to the amazing maenad FCB, +1/2 sonic damage to aether pulses per avowed level, which in turn activates the entoli's +1 DC to any sonic effect, since adding damage of a certain energy type to an aether pulse explicitly adds the appropriate descriptor.

In other words, that 5th-level avowed blaster up there should ideally be an entoli for an extra +1/2 avowed level damage and another +1 DC.

Actually the kid'll just grow up with your way of life as their measure for normal, which means its common sense and sensibilities will be completely fucked up. Plus you'll probably name the kid something strange and JRPGish like "Regolith Flailsnail the fourth"

In fact the best example, even though they've made a village, is probably the Crimson Demon clan, where the kids grow up drinking XP potions, learning how to make grand entrances or dynamic entries, and learning a specific class instead of general education.

Charisma 17 to start with, possibly from point-buy
+2 from race
+1 from level advancement
+2 from a headband
Total: Charisma 22

>Did they change overcharge again? last I'd checked you'd get +2 dice at level 5 not +4.
To quote the feat: "If your aether pulse dealt damage dice equal to your caster level (such as from a second-selection aether blast), the overcharged modulation instead adds twice as many additional dice of damage."

Frankly, Overcharge Modulation is a lost cause by this point. It encourages a boring playstyle of doing nothing but spamming damage, and it is mandatory for any avowed who is interested in dealing damage. I think it would be better for the avowed's baseline damage to be slightly improved (possibly returning to d8s?) and for Overcharge Modulation to be excised entirely.

I try to be effective, but I'm not very good at letting myself optimize as opposed to picking "style" or "flavor" choices.

>>
>>52223861
I begin with style, and once the notes and details of style I want are locked in, THEN I go for efficiency.

For example first you decide
>I want to play a high-tech symbiote slayer. Basically an obliterator. And you decide the guy should be the unholy abomination of, say, a lovey-dovey elf/dwarf couple using one of those bloodforge races. And you decide "okay, let's make him fucking good looking while I'm at it".

Headband very unlikely at level 5. 7-8 most definitely, but 5 is very early for this.

For most point-buys expect more likely a 15 or 16, then +2 from race.

You usually put up the higher ends of optimization - I do not begrudge you this, but it is important to point out that you ARE looking for what the top-shelf builds can do, and not offering some barely-thought-out (for most) average (which would imply the ceiling can go just that much higher, after all).


OW on that quoted bit, yeah. Overcharge must not give so much damage, but it also must absolutely not be a necessary pick to even be able to deal damage.

>Headband very unlikely at level 5. 7-8 most definitely, but 5 is very early for this.
A blaster avowed is not going to use a weapon. Given that 5th-level WBL is 10,500 gp, I would be surprised if they did not have a +2 headband by 5th-level.

>For most point-buys expect more likely a 15 or 16, then +2 from race.
Even if you did settle for that, the extra damage from the purchases would go from 9 to 7. That is not an enormous difference.

>OW on that quoted bit, yeah. Overcharge must not give so much damage, but it also must absolutely not be a necessary pick to even be able to deal damage.

Tav, to be straight with you, I /LIKE/ what you guys have with the Body Pact. It's cool, and different from the Self Pact in function. You saying it's trying to capture "as much of the original as possible" is why I feel monkey's paw'ed, and your constant rushing around to point at "W-we want to avoid SAD!" only makes it taste all the more bitter. The only thing you captured from the original is its ability to be a Dark Souls QUALITY build and be (relatively) effective.

Alright, so, working on a less trash Sphere Magus.

Right now I have 4 goals I'm working towards
>Make abilities less dipable
>Give incentives to reach the later levels
>Find a way to make magus arcana either worth using, or not a strictly inferior option to most sphere abilities
>Optional Goal: Find a way to incorporate multiple gameplay strategies, such as Eldritch Archery and the like

Now, I have a few ideas, including some older ones I've dabbled with in the past, that I'm willing to juggle around and play with such as either making either Sphere specific modes of play, or adding a cash-out mechanic for Arcana, and further there's also the fact that I have to contend with Mystic Assault now being a thing.

However, before I become dedicated to a single design philosophy, I'd like to poll your brains as to what YOU, the wonderful degenerates of /pfg/ want out of your Sphere Magus! I know a few of you would like a Red Mage, and that can be handled well enough, but what else would ya'll wanna see in this archetype?
Personally, I'm more partial to the Sorcerer from FFV, but that's just me

>Animal Whisperer: You've spent more of your life around animals than people, and find them easier to understand. You gain a +1 bonus to Handle Animal, and it is now a class skill. Your trait bonus increases to +5 when "pushing" a wild animal, and you can now cast charms and compulsions on animals as though they were humanoid.

>Blight-Burned: You were raised deep in the Fangwood Forest, but in your childhood the Darkblight overtook your community, and blighted Fey attacked your friends and family. Even after escaping, you bear a grisly scar from your ordeal. You gain a +2 fortitude save against poison and disease, and your scar throbs in the presence of unnatural creatures, even if they can not be seen by you

>Ironfang Survivor: Whether you served in the military or simply beset by surprise attack, you barely survived an encounter with the Ironfang Legion, Molthune's infamous Hobgoblin regiment. You gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC when fighting goblinoids, and once per day when using Intimidate, Sense Motive or Stealth against a goblinoid, you roll twice and take the better result.

Animal Whisperer is gonna be a must have if the party encounters a lot of war beasts, which doesn't seem out of the modus operandi of hobgoblins

The last one is more generally useful, as in Ironfang you're gonna be fighting creatures with the goblinoids subtype

Monster rape, however, is very much haram

That feel when you're GM of a party of murderhobos and one super-bratty, snobby noble girl who always has something mean to say about other PCs except for the one man in the party who has tirelessly put up with her crap, apologizes to her when she throws fits for no reason even when he wasn't even there when she got mad, and bridal carries her everywhere when she inevitably gets knocked out or faints, but is way too autistic to ever engage her in any way.

I just want them to realize how they feel about each other but these two goddamn cringey lesbos in the party won't stop hamming it up.

Alright, I think I'm on to something.

How would you anons feel if Spell Combat, rather than just allowing you to hit and cast, instead applied a CL limit on the sphere effect based on the Magus level, meaning if you tried to dip into the class instead you're gonna have to suck it up with a shitty CL1 effect with your combat?
That would solve one problem, though there would still be more to go through.

Or is no one paying attention and should I instead wait for tonight when the Sphere Magus people I talked to last night are usually on?

>CL limits on spell combat

god fuck no, I think an anon once suggested limiting it so the initial spell combat was "make one attack and cast spell as a full round action" that would let you make two attacks with spellstrike, and then have it scale up to actually function as "make a full attack but also cast spell" later on.

IMO, making Arcana and Arcane Pool actually attractive to use would help, too. Like, increased duration on weapon enhancement and not needing to spend additional points to use new weapon special abilities from arcana would be good, since you'd still have to pay to swap out to what you need.

That is a good point, though would end up being messy with all the moving parts involved. Further, the original point and issue was that people were complaining baout sphere magus being too dipable, and making a limitation, which later becomes a boon as it scales up, seemed the best way to incentivise keeping most of your levels in the class.

Also, yeah, I also have plans for changing how Arcana and the Arcane Pool work, but I'm still trying to determine which ones to keep or not. Heck, I'm sorely tempted to just replace a good amount of it with just giving them Enhancement sphere for free and letting them do shenanigans with it.

Either that, or turn the Pool into a Cashout system similar to the Gambler Kineticist

>Too messy
But how? "Full round action to take a penalty to attack rolls and make one attack and cast one spell, at level x you can add the extra attack from things that function like haste, at y level you may full attack and cast a spell" doesn't sound that complicated to me.

That is one of the plans, however it still doesn't do much to help make the non enhancement arcana any less trash options.
Then again, those arcana generally don't cost points either.
I guess I'll just dig up my old iteration of the Sphere magus I made back before Expanded was released, retool it better, and see how that works instead.

Nah, I'm good, I've already dug up some other versions to steal fro- I mean, gain inspiration from. Yes.

I'll just do the best I can, and see how people like it.


On a side note, how would you like to have built in options to either go STR 2h, Archer, TWF, or Red Mage Dual Cast as eventual specializations?
>>
>>52225728
>three DFCs

Rinka, Aurora, and Rorymei?
>>
>>52225566

Makes sense. As written, the AP's premise is painfully difficult to take seriously; just because an embarrassment of a Thrune tells Kintargo they can't drink mint tea past 7 p.m. anymore, they're ready to take to the streets and bring down the Chelaxian establishment.

Sounds like something from a 90s cartoon about kids with 'tude.
>>
>>52225754
Yes.
Isn't Liozis also DFC?

>either go STR 2h, Archery, TWF, or Red Mage Dual Cast as eventual specializations

only if you make the original one-handing duelist style not get overshadowed, my dude. If it could get Canny Defense and emulate what Kensai was going for without all the shit that fucks up the Kensai would be great. Depending on how fast you get it out, I might want to try playtesting it for you. But that would require the GM letting me revamp my magus side.

So after applying to a game with a firearm character it really got me reflecting on how totally retarded firearms are in PF, not from a mechanical perspective, but just the idea that their iconic dual wields muzzle loading matchlocks.

For guns to make any sense for a PC you sort of need to push them right up to percussion caps and breech loaders, which I think is acceptable hand waving to imagine as a free action reload.

Really the whole problem seems to stem from the free action reload, which is mandatory to make the system work.

What's bizarre is paper cartridges increasing misfire, if anything they should reduce it, as your black powder charges would be uniform.

I think Golarion should've gone the way of having a nation use fire arms, but only once they became cartridge fired did they become widespread by adventurers, for their practicality. Or make it so that gunslingers are all master craftsmen or experimenters who have more advanced weapons, things like breech loading, cartridges, percussion caps, etc..

From a historical perspective, many of these inventions were around at the same time as the flintlock that I think is what people imagine, they just weren't used widely.
>>
>>52225743
Still a leak. Still a breach of trust--if anything, that's just as bad, if there was any chance that friend would share them around on /tg/.

He has effectively reduced Dragons2, or at least 1/3 of its party, to "That douchebag dog and the dumb slut he fucked" in terms of reputation.
>>
>>52225763
It's more than that. First, Kintargo is noted to be very independent and unruly all the time. Second, there is also martial law and Thrune Dottari being pricks. Third, Barzillai closed one of the most important buildings in the city without any explanation. Kintargo treats its opera VERY seriously.

Overall, it is still rather silly but not completely unfounded. And you definitely do not have to make a bland feminazi caricature to apply. Hell, going animu would be better. Like I did.
>>
>>52225935

To be honest, I think the setting would've been significantly improved if they used the 17th century for inspiration more than the 15th.

Turn the Land of the Linnorm Kings into viciously Imperialist and proud realm of infighting kings, Andoran and Galt finally make sense, Qadira could become the Taldor of the setting, heck you could have Cheliax jealously holding onto Aroden worship in some Dead God cult that thinks enough prayer will bring him back, and the only way to do that is missionaries and expansion.
>>
>>52225970
thats rather extreme

>>52225868

SwimmingEagle wanted a lewd group, and he got a lewd group.

Honestly, it still seems petty considering what Cheliax could (and in all probability, SHOULD) have done to force the city into compliance. Barbie taking over the opera house for private showings and ignoring civil courts is hardly the zenith of diabolist cruelty.

Dragons2 is like the sub-par spinoff to a good show.
>>
>>52226136
oh my god and that makes rory the poochy
>>
>>52226104

We only have ourselves to blame for that, we memed Rory into the roster and now a game that used to be amusing and surprisingly ambitious has become nothing more than an exercise in harem.
>>
>>52226151
>implying he wasn't ALWAYS poochy.

FlippingDeagle really screwed the pooch letting that screwy pooch in.
>>
>>52226136

Okay then, tell me what you would have done to make Dragons 2 good?
>>
>>52226136
>>52226155
Eh, to you guys maybe. The players are having fun and it's not very haremlike at all in practice.
>>
>>52226177
Honestly, Rory wasn't--and isn't, going by the what I hear of the actual game--the problem. It's the controversy that makes it so hard to enjoy, and the knowledge that the player is probably flighty enough to make similar mistakes in the future.

But if I had to change the game apart from the logs having never been leaked, I might honestly swap out Rorymei (one-note trap), Rory (still pretty much on account of player), and maybe even Rinka (cute but could fit in any game).
>>
I want to build a Ranger that's good at ranged damage. Should I instead make a blaster sorcerer?
>>
>>52226251
And who would you swap in?
>>
>>52226251
But anon, who did you like enough that you think they would make good replacements?

Are we going to have another "which apps that didn't get in did people like" episode?
>>
>>52226251
Though I agreed with you at first, Rorymei in practice has proved to actually be a pretty interesting character and I'm glad he got picked
>>
>>52226271
>>52226276
Any two-to-three of Brejik, Irving, Ivelia, Ulfric, and Kardzaros.
>>
>>52226269

Ranger is probably going to be better for damage.
>>
>>52226316
You're not trying to ruse me, are you?
>>
>>52226288
There's gotta be a better way to gauge players than what we're doing because it sounds like a real crapshoot under current methods.
>>
>>52226269
Ranger would be better at pure damage and better at skills, but Sorcerer could have utility spells to go with the blast spells. Blasting would still require HEAVY investment, and won't really be the thing that kills anything above trash mob level enemies, but it can still work.
>>
>>52226312
I'm still upset we don't get to have kardri and rinks attempting to out chuuni eachother
>>
>>52226324

Blasting sorcs can be okay but I think elemental resistance will fuck you over. The sorc builds that do damage well are also sort of janky looking to a DM, where as rangers are "honest"
>>
>>52226324
Proper martials generally do out damage blasters which are mostly a playstyle for selfish jerks. Damage isn't why casters are considered so powerful.
>>
>>52226324
A dedicated archer is about as good as a sorcerer. If you pull out all the stops--blood havoc, orc bloodline, draconic/primal bloodline, etc.--you can have a respectable bonus to go with your damage dice.

Otherwise ranger is probably better for consistent damage.
>>
>>52226333
Yeah y'all are REALLY basing shit off of incomplete knowledge. It's much less of a shitshow or a harem or pool of controversy than people seem to think; everyone's pretty chill and having fun.

That's the reality of pfg
>>
>>52226333

It's a problem of philosophy.

/pfg/ wants exciting, hot, lewd characters and don't trust individual personalities.

But just because someone can choose good art and write up a backstory over the course of a month doesn't mean they're worth a damn as players. They might fall flat actually playing someone in real time. That's something you need to get a feel for with prelude sessions or at least a conversation with a player.

I feel a general compromise would be to maybe have each and every applicant have a chat with the GM. 50 conversations over a month isn't too excessive.

I credit getting into /pfg/ games because I make it a point to talk to the GM once or twice before the application process is done.

The only people who actually LOOK at the characters beyond surface memes are reviewanons. Almost EVERY memed character has one or two traits and a character image looked at and shitposted about while everything else about them gets ignored. Hell, even having a good, well-reviewed app doesn't even gauge the actual player's ability to play the character, something which requires time and sessions to develop a sense of for both the player themselves and the rest of the group.

Example: Guy who made pic related is a huge faggot who can't play for beans.

It's the pretension to REALISM that usually causes it. GM thought it'd be REALISTIC for the mayor of the trading hub to start bitching us out and calling us naive assholes after we killed a local warlord.

A warlord who had been in the process of attacking his town.
With a whole army.
And who was actually a mature adult red dragon in disguise.
And who had been actively press-ganging every monster, tribesman, and nomad he could find into joining his army.
With the stated goal of conquering the entire region.

But no, we're the assholes because it's not REALISTIC for us to pull this Seven Samurai shit.
>>
>>52226715

What narrative? Times were great under the previous mayor because she kept her fingers out of the city's progressive habits, and then Barney moved in, killed her, and made life miserable.

>>
>>52226824

Oh, well it's just a habit that stuck since Hell's Rebels was released around the same time that infamous "because you're a FUCKING WHITE MALE" video was released, and since Barney is indeed a white male, and a very evil one, I just sorta stuck with saying it.

I don't know what answer you're looking for, but those men certainly didn't have Metal Gear-level sniping ability, a gigantic angel-elk, a magic pipe organ, and enough spells to turn the bulk of his army to ash inside of two minutes.

Alright ANONS

I have a double-whammy for you, that's as exciting as finding TWO breakfast cereal prizes at the bottom of the box, getting TWO cokes out of the vending machine, or finding out you don't have AIDS.

The first? I'm gonna spend four or morr hours blitzing through and filling out setting info on Blood Mountain, because people have been bugging me about it and I finally have a weekend to do it. The excessive amounts of monstergirls will be stripped, I'll write up rules on magic wizard guns, you'll get more info about culture and society, and I'll even get plans together for a sample adventure. Happy?

The second? You're gonna get your goddamn Armorist guide and you're gonna love it (or at least view it favorably) like I love hashbrowns, Daisy Dukes, and the second amendment. I'm gonna be super honest, the Armorist has got me stoked, primarily because it rests in the same niche as the Spiritualist and Medium in terms of content- unloved and often looked over. I'd be happy to do a guide on it

Uh, I got a question, was it ever clarified on the interaction from Rising Zenith Strike and Scarlet Eye's Perception?

Scarlet Eye's Perception is a swift boost that makes the next melee attack touch. Rising Zenith Strike is Sense Motive vs AC, double damage

What happens? Do I then use Sense Motive vs Touch then?

Also, can you actually power attack on Rising Zenith Strike?

>>52223064
Adamant's Priest would fit perfectly, especially since its actually a straight port of Cloistered Cleric from 3e

You know its pretty cool that spheres doesn't require you to twink out super hard to make a good blaster

you're still a bit overspecialized, but you can legit blast without having to suck the dick of crossblooded +1 damage arcanas

I want my swamp muck mermaids and cottonmouth nagas! Motherley burr-oak dryads and pettily spiteful mesquite alrauns! I wanna see a Texan Bighorn Sheepgirl and an Alaskan Dahl's Sheepgirl arguing about how different they are from eachother, despite being very similiar!

I wanna see the wildflowers carpet Caprock in the spring whilst on a picnic with my qt Buffalo gf!

I want 10ft tall Gator Men posing at each other like its Redneck JoJo!

You can power attack, but the penalty to hit applies to your Sense Motive.

>>52227770
Someone in my group made a 2hu using the blasting build from Spheres and people noted that she is punching above her weight yes

Still loses out versus my arcanist in pure blasting damage since I went for hilarity involving Bloodline of Fire(+2 CL for fire spells), Draconic bloodline and all that but at the low levels of 3-5, until I get Fireball, my blasting is going to be super dangerous given that my AoE is 15' range
>>
>>52227836
honestly you don't even have to use a 2hu autism build

Take the d8 blasts, and take the talent for +1 damage per dice and you're basically in business for solid blasting.
>>
>>52227784
I mean

They'll still EXIST, they just won't be such a huge focus on the campaign. I want to focus on weird cultures (buffalo pacifists? Wolves that get along well with their human peers? The utilitarian philosophy of some frontier towns?), strange monsters (the Teakettler cat, that shoots steam out of its head! The Agropelter, an imp that pesters you with sticks! The Axehandle hound, a monstrous dog that eats wood, with a razor sharp crest on its head!) and odd artifacts more than I want to focus on the waifu of the week. I'm still planning on Buffalo/Wolves/Crows still being the most important types, but the whole horses and deer and cats and such? They're on the side, they won't play as much of a focus unless you actively seek them out.

Now, see, Redneck gator-men posing at each other like it's JoJo? You bet your ass that's Canon now. I love that idea.

So okay, Mithral Current is the weeb iaijutsu discipline, but then why is Scarlet Throne, the Western Knight discipline, the one to get all the "One stroke kill" maneuvers? Just funny when I think about it

>>52227845
He wasnt even going with that build really but still he was tossing out like 4d6 blasts with no saves from L2

It was 2hu in the sense he was actually playing somebody from Gensokyo
>>
Anyone know how HV turned out? Its been a week and I haven't seen any green of their antics yet.
>>
>>52227936

Because it's also the discipline for fencing. A stop thrust is supposed to be scary.
>>
>>52227960
because they were hit with an unfortunate GM-based delay, their first game got pushed back a week
>>
>>52227927
oh i want to see that rat get smashed if you know what i mean
>>
>>52227936
Because Mithral Current is only weeb in the sense that they called the quickdraw "Iaijutsu," and gave the Bushi katana proficiency. Huge mistake, because now people think you're doing Mithral Current wrong if you use anything else. Both Current and Throne are meant as "duelist" disciplines for light agile combatants.

As for Scarlet Throne's OHKOs, those are also a mistake based on not understanding how high you can pump Sense Motive and the power of a guaranteed 3x crit.

I was mostly joking and meming, but good to see some good came of it.

I just thought it funny that one of my friends took Mithral Current intending to be Kenshin Himura or an FF14 Samurai and got upstaged by me in the one stroke kill part while using the same class, exchanged a discipline for Scarlet Throne and focused more on that instead of Mithral Current

Trust me, you are not past shank town.

Even the 2hu autism build barely functions as a damage dealer past level 5. It's a Jagen build.

TOO LEWD
>>
>>52228096
It doesn't.

You won't kill at CR enemies with that, and keep in mind one of those +1 is if you don't use a blast shape. It looks good on paper, but it's starts to be really pathetic at mid levels.

How's the avowed? I heard it got some nerfs?

Yuugi is best girl.
>>
>>52228126
it actually keeps up fairly well, since you should be above par with # of damage dice with even a decent build

And a blaster shouldn't be killing at CR enemies in a single blast, they should be catching multiple enemies in a blast and leaving them for easy mop-up for the rest of the squad
>>
>>52227936
It's weeb because you get to launch sword beams, and it has some of the best counters in PoW.
>>
>>52228096
Example. At level 10 using an empowered searing blast with all the 2hu fixings.

Damage=10 base+1 Incanter+2 Greater Blast+3(Staff)=16d6+16 if an AoE or 16d6+32 if a SINGLE TARGET

First is an average of 108 damage BEFORE saves and BEFORE resistances out the asshole.
>>52228145
>And a blaster shouldn't be killing at CR enemies in a single blast
Yes, they should. If you're job is "do damage" and you aren't one shooting at CR threats, you're basically wasting you're turns. If you wanted to leave enemies easy to "mop up" for melee guys you should have just been a regular battle field control person.
>>
>>52228150
What are the best counters? TBA from Riven Hourglass, Flowing Creek from Mithral Current, what else?
>>
>>52228140

Yeah, seems like the math's been jumping back and forth a bit. Might give it time to settle.

Don't know who that is, so I can't really dispute it.

>>52228246
In spheres? To instantly clear the board of multiple enemies?

Absolutely yes. Without a doubt yes.

Which, would you look at that, puts an average CR10 enemy in absolute one shot range if they fail save.

That 108 damage IS empowered. 16d6+16 is an average of 72. That times 1.5 is 108 a CR 10 enemies has on average 130 hit-points.
>>
>>52228264
Death is worse, anon.
>>
>>52228276
then your math was confusing as fuck because you didn't show the empowered dice

Also if its a searing blast wouldn't it be d8s instead of d6s?

Being able to add Charisma to every combat attribute turned out to be a huge problem, and Channel broke the game because we forgot to account for weapon special abilities beyond numerical enhancement bonuses. We've still got issues with Overcharge Modulation, potentially, but it looks like those might be more related to the doubling of dice coming online too early. We don't have any more major changes planned, and we'll keep you notified if any smaller tweaks are coming. Watch this space.

Eldritch Consumption, Redirecting Flux from Elemental Flux. Iron Shell tends to have decent counters.

Mithral Current though boy.
Disruptive Wave: Charge a caster for hitting you with a spell, and make an attack against them, interrupting their spell casting.

Ride the Current: No skill check, just move 10 feet out of range (hopefully). Also if your weapon is sheathed, attack them once beforehand.

Following Stream: Perform Dance vs. attack or Reflex. Negate and move towards originator without provoking AoO. Weapon sheathed? Make an attack against them afterwards.

Flowing River: Perform (Dance) vs. save. Move next to originator and guess what happens if your weapon is sheathed? Yeah, you attack them.

Riven Hourglass? Beat the Clock gives a Standard action immediately. Heart of Time Lord is a Heal spell when dropped below 0.

Scarlet Throne has Sanguine Perseverance which is Sense Motive to replace any Save.
>>
>>52228293
Same set up as before
+16 is from Primal Fire Bloodline.
That's my fuck up. with the searing
(16x4.5+16)=88*1.5=132. Wow, would you look at that. You killed it assuming it doesn't pass it's save, you roll average, and they aren't resistant/immune to the most COMMON ELEMENT IN THE GAME.

It's "fine" now, but the gap is going to keep getting wider as time goes on and the HP and saves continue to inflate.

Also, it took you 3 spell-points and a full-round action.

Hoshiguma Yuugi is an oni one of the four deva's of Mt Ooe; she's also known as "Yuugi the Strong".

If you cant be strong at least be capable of holding your liquor and you'll get along great with her.

Apparently her special power in touhouverse is wielding unexplainable phenomena. (Anomalies, Strength, Disorder, and Spirits)

>Now, I have a few ideas, including some older ones I've dabbled with in the past, that I'm willing to juggle around and play with such as either making either Sphere specific modes of play, or adding a cash-out mechanic for Arcana, and further there's also the fact that I have to contend with Mystic Assault now being a thing.
>However, before I become dedicated to a single design philosophy, I'd like to poll your brains as to what YOU, the wonderful degenerates of /pfg/ want out of your Sphere Magus! I know a few of you would like a Red Mage, and that can be handled well enough, but what else would ya'll wanna see in this archetype?

I think the way Mystic Assault is written it doesn't stack with Spell Combat, so it's not really a huge issue. As for the Magus, as long as you keep the one-handed weapon component, I think you'll be fine. For spell combat, I'd say 'as long as you have a hand free, you can use a sphere ability that requires a touch attack as an off hand weapon, and when you do, use your magus level as your caster level'. This gives people a reason to stay in Magus past 2nd level.
