Pathfinder General /pfg/

How would your character feel if they had a gerbie following them around and solving everything with diplomacy, friendly mind control, and at-will no save memory rewriting?

Same. Enchantment spells might have some nice buffs and debuffs, but I almost always put that as an opposition school because the charm/dominate line seems so fucking skeevy.

Avowed has improved greatly with recent modifications, being able to base literally everything off of one stat was a problem.

Hey Ssalarn, it's not hard to realize Secret Ways is dumb.

>>
>>52413548
What's the problem with Secret Ways?
>>
>>52413576
It's stupid when casters get it too. It's even more stupid when anyone gets it at level 7.
>>52413593
Not sure if it got fixed yet, but it allowed a level 7 Commander with a focus on Diplomacy to retroactively create portal networks from anywhere to anywhere as long as there were 2 NPCs to talk.
>>
>>52413434
The Avowed got crushed under the weight of its own memes. It was just plain hubris that made them think that
>SAD the class
or
>Betrothed gimic central
were good tenets of game design.

People here loved the Avowed because it was really powerful and DMs with Forrest shaped stars in their eyes allowed it blindly. Now it's been tuned down and it's more reasonable and nobody wants to play it because it's not OP. Now it's just useful for meme builds.
>>
>>52413492

SoM was shit from the get go, just fucking look at the length of certain talent entries.

That "extra talent" even exists is an insult as well.
>>
What form of non-instantaneous transportation do you or your party typically rely on, /pfg/?
>>
>>52413548

Interestingly enough, Ssalarn recently implemented a limitation to the commander's secret ways at 7th-level:

>Secret Ways: The commander can use the gather information function of the Diplomacy skill over an hour’s time to discern the locations and pass phrases (if any) of secret portals, tunnels, tears between planar locations, and similar effects in urban areas, or in ruins and cemeteries near urban areas.

>These passages are not necessarily permanent fixtures; they may be planar or astral convergences that only happen during particular times of the year, abnormal rifts created by recent events in the area, or any number of other possible occurrences. While passages uncovered using this ability are always reliable to the degree determined by the commander’s gather information check, there are no assurances that the events that created the passage will be still viable for longer than 48 hours past the travel time to reach them. The function and reliability of this ability is determined by his gather information check, as detailed in the following table-

This is still rather narrative-warping, because:

1. There is nothing stopping the commander from continuously retrying (while sitting down in a backwater hamlet's watering hole and chatting up peasants) and generating portal after portal. After all, even a DC 15 check retcons a portal into existence.

2. It implies that there are always temporary portals leading from anywhere, leading to anywhere.

3. It can take someone straight into the heart of an otherwise well-guarded building.

4. If these portals are so ubiquitous, then why are they not a major facet of the setting? Why are only 7th-level commanders able to discover the details of these universe-bridging, if not multiverse-bridging, gateways?
>>
>>52413635
>now it's just useful for meme builds

it was only ever useful for meme builds, though.

>SAD
>Betrothed gimmick
SAD was dumb but they went too far in the other direction in some places, then tried to placate one autist by going "well this is SORT OF like the thing you liked! Why won't you just eat it up?"

Betrothed was fucked the moment they decided to try to balance "you are two people at once, but don't actually lose any class features for it".

I'm thinking about running a campaign specifically to let people play with DHB. Basically I would approach DHB and ask him "what is the perfect campaign for you" and see what he sets up and what his character is. Then I'd find probably 4 or 5 other people in this general to play in the "DHB campaign". Who would apply?
>>
>>52413687
We're pirates, so we take our ship.
>>
>>52413754
Depends what DHB's perfect campaign is. If it's "Grimdark fantasy rape corruption," then no, I wouldn't do that. Based on DHB's taste, I probably would though, seems he likes grit and politicking, and both of those sound good to me.

I want to play with DHB but you should probably still make for a regular app process beyond including DHB in the initial line-up. People don't mind player inclusions as long as they're up from the get-go, HR and PLD only got heat because of their circumstances.

That's more what I mean, just that DHB gets to decide the initial concept of the campaign.

Are the horses important to any of your characters or their abilities? Or are they fairly interchangeable?

One of my college buddy's custom not!Eberron campaign that had a massive savage land where dinosaurs roamed called... The Savage Lands. We did some things there for a Kobold tribe and they gave each of us a tamed raptor as a mount as a reward. But we only got to use them once... When leaving the Savage Lands. Cause we had an air ship, and for some reason no one would remember the raptors on later sessions. Or we were in places where mounts wouldn't be feasible.

Our captain was an Andoran merchant who got screwed over by the Chelish government. Turned to worshiping Calistria, pooled her money, bought a ship, took on some crew members and took her revenge on the Chelish through piracy. She's a higher level than the rest of us so the GM finds ways to separate her, or just turns her into a healbot. The rest of the crew is varied. We've got a couple an escaped slave turned priest of Besmara, an escaped Chelish prisoner, a stasis'd Azlanti, a daughter of a Shackles pirate with some water elemental back in her bloodline, a Sargavan sorcerer, an ex-crusader out of Lastwall, and an Absalomian who worships Aroden.

That's not it at all. However some of us are still waiting on more finalized versions; it's hard to allow a class when it could literally change in between sessions more than once.

Some of the shapes needed help from the start, and some still do. The really powerful parts were limited to the weapon-loaded ones, and the nerfing round came about to nip those then and there. However that did leave the rest of the shapes gasping for air, as it wasn't all-powerful and couldn't even HOPE to become powerful (barely viable as a secondary damage dealer) without the weapon-loaded shapes unless optimizing to 2hu levels, where even then it wasn't all that insane compared to other 3pp materials.

Conceptually however, the Avowed is top-shelf goods. But it's only natural that playtest stuff would get changed and isn't necessarily all ready yet.

... that is to say, when the developers aren't egomaniacal tumblrite zombies who can't handle an ungood thought instead of doubleplusgood praise.

Lack of SAD did hurt my build but I'm still really enjoying my Betrothed in a pfg game (Am I the only one in a pfg game doing that? I'm curious)

>Level 3
>Betrothed companion creates aether wells that last the battle, whenever someone steps on them butterflies swarm out to attack them for more damage, and they can also teleport and phase through objects
>Meanwhile main PC is on the frontlines with aether blade hitting things with reach and vs touch AC

I definitely think the damage calculations are iffy at the moment (if mainly because it's awkward to build for), but even after the changes it's a really unique class.

>triggered

Let me explain a bit, when I played D&D when I was 12 I wanted to make magitech armor. Instead of telling me no, the 16 year old DM then proceeded to make my life hell in-game. He created a wizard GMPC with all 18s and access to all weapons (he told me if I even touched a weapon that wasn't a dagger all of the gods would immediately know and they would unite to destroy me) and 5 levels on me, lectured me about how my wizard sucked in front of the group. In a later adventure I was shoved into a boxing match with antimagic shackles on me and had everyone in the party beat me up, then kept telling me I wasn't allowed to just stay down the first time I got knocked out.

Granted, I was a little shit because I was 12 and 12 year olds are little shits. On the plus side all of those little shits got high-paying jobs and a free ride into college, while on the other hand I got a useless trade degree and a shit dead-end tech support job where I'm constantly shit on by upper management.

That aside, there are limitations to what can be done. The events aren't all that hard to find, getting clothes is more of a grind, as is building her lust and sensitivity for the denial events. Eventually more stuff will get added, but that does take a while before updating.

The party witnessed my ascension to daemonhood and I got to fight them as a supercharged boss enemy.

They eventually killed me, but I managed to kill the paladin and the monk first. As I died, the demon I made the deal with thanked me for getting rid of the Paladin (I had been doing the heart eating in secret) and the demon decided to reanimate my body and make it his champion on the mortal plane.

Then I re-rolled and have joined the party in hunting down the daemon prince that destroyed the city we live in.

According to Andrew Stoeckle (also known as Stack), one of Spheres of Might's main writers, the Spheres of Might characters are being damage-benchmarked against Paizo martials who are hasted for every battle.

Yeah, probably. From what I've seen most complaints about the playtest around these parts aren't about damage (since we all know hitpoint damage is the worst way to solve problems in pathfinder), but about gamebreaking abilities like Secret Ways that go above and beyond even what a wizard could do at that level.

In combat? Yes. Yes, killing enemies via direct hit point damage actually is the best way to end a fight in Pathfinder, at least if you belong to a tier 3 or below class.

My main issue with Spheres of Might is that the optimal builds for most class permutations devolve into "kill everything hard by spamming massive damage and doing nothing else interesting," whether it is with Alchemy bombing, Berserking's Brutal Strike or Decapitate, or a double hackbut as a technician's improved firearm.

Yes. It was Sigmund, Glorianana, Lysander, Cashmere, and someone else that doesn't matter. Cashmere and Gloriana are gonna have a private monster rape session with the GM before the game starts proper so Vult doesn't get cucked out of his waifus by Sigmund.

Needs to fix some of the things like certain discs. not getting stances when they should, the PoW1 classes borked stance progression, moving the problem maneuvers from broken blade to more appropriate levels, toning down the damage on 1st level stances and the like. giving stalker and maybe warlord a second save.

In my IRL I'm GMing for Dragons are world ending events that occur once every thousand years or so, destroying the known world, to allow the Wolf Goddess Desa to regurgitate a fresh new incarnation of the world, and then the Life God Heacliff repopulates the new world with all forms and manner of life, using the souls and blood of the dragons to do so.

The PCs are thus tasked to find and kill the dragons before they awaken to stop the end of the current age. but they don't know they were hired by the real villians of the campaign so they can maintain their power base for an eternity. And I swear to fucking god JJ if you're reading this and use ANY of the knowledge I just posted I will kill your ugly skank with a God Bolt.

Could you gestalt two different Oracles with different mysteries and curses rather than making a dual-cursed oracle?
>>
>>52416811
So I talked about one of my favorite villains last time, a Raging Cannibal Urban Barbarian 10/Brute Vigilante 2 VMC Ravenous Oracle, in my notes I called him "Big Eater". I for a while would name my villains in this way or in the Jojo style after songs.

Another one of my favorite villains I have employed was a druid who was at one point Rocktopus in my notes and at one point 『 UNDER PRESSURE』.

In this case he was a level 13 build with Druid 9/Strangler Brawler 4. I had a great time with him as he was based around extremely dangerous ambushes via the following tactics:
>See through stone
>Earthglide
>Transmite Rock to Mud
>Transmute Mud to Rock

The idea is a grapple and pin rending an enemy unconscious. This after having turned the area around the party to mud. The druid would then drag the enemy into the mud and turn it back into stone, encasing the individual in it.
>>
>>52417015
No.
>>
>>52417015
No. You can't gestalt two of the same class.

What you can do is Gestalt a Sphere Oracle with a Black Magic hedge-witch.

>Something that isn't reflavored full attacks/charging.

Spheres of Might does, in fact, have many options along these lines. It is just that they are overshadowed by the "deal massive damage" options, even if those options are as crude and simplistic as Berserking's Brutal Strike and Decapitate.

Even optimal armigers actually spam fake full attacks with identical weapon types, as established in >>52410387.
>>
>>52417020
You seem to like alternate defeat options compared to slugging matches.
>>
>>52416989
Warlocks are a vigilante arch and are ok with jolly 3pp. I've heard the same for kineticist.

But I'd actually make the argument that archer builds are the same as blasty types, just primarily physical. And the psyarm is either way still a "wis to atk/dam at ranged", with no need for ammo or weapons, If that doesn't make them a blaster, I don't know what does, besides doing 100% energy damage and that's a mechanical abstraction really.

>jolly kinetcists
They're better, but they're still a mess. There really isn't any fixing the kineticist chassis without warping the class like the DSP """"archetypes"""" do.
>>
>>52417008
Neat.

In my game, 7 ancient wyrms exist. One of them gave magic to the mortals to wage war on the others. Since then, they've all gone into hiding, but their offspring are out in the world.

The party nearly died to one of the sons of the black wyrm. They learned from a silver dragon that the spawn of the black wyrm are trying to bring him back (he's the one that gave magic to the mortals to try and use them as an army against the other 6).

Two party members also owe a debt to the ancient copper wyrm, who assists them occasionally.

The endgame will be all 7 wyrms returning to the world if the party can't stop the sons of the black wyrm from releasing him.

How does it feel, lads? A decade spent on bullshit nobody cares about, and in the end it was all for nothing? How does it feel Paizo would rather write about Monster Hunting and Courtly Intrigue than expand on Tian Xia?
>>
>>52416862
It has better balance than PF, but not as many options for character design. It altogether lacks variety in options, but that's not always a bad thing.
>>
>>52417069

I do not know. It would be tricky, especially when these have to compete with Paizo's martials who are actually *quite* effective at putting enemies into the grave with inexorable damage output.

Pathfinder simply lacks a good foundation for sophisticated tactical combat.
>>
>>52417096
That's like saying an warlock isn't because they keep making blasts, but throwing them away.

What the fuck is your definition of a blaster then? Or do you just arbitrarily decide what feels "blasty"?
>>
>>52417050
I do, I find it overall more interesting. Enemies who just go for a slug match aren't as entertaining during the fight, in my opinion.

One of my concepts on how enemies with PC level should work is to attempt to force players into a gimmick they aren't designed to deal with. Characters should find their niche of how they are best able to tackle a situation and go for it.

It's about rhythm and being caught in your enemy's rhythm. Being forced into a position where your enemy is being catered to rather than you. It's the same way I treat PvP when I do it with my friends. It's all about trying to force enemies into a fight that specifically caters to your abilities and seeing who has a more all consuming gimmick or who can deny the other their gimmick.

>>52417187
A fair warning is if players aren't expecting enemies like this they are very likely to sustain casualties. Also PCs generally can't be built like this for normal adventures because they don't have the luxury of picking and choose the situations where they engage. PCs generally have a much more diverse set of circumstances they have to inhabit in order to function and can't have specific gimmicks unless the campaign is a PvP one about said gimmicks.

Then what the fuck would you call a blaster?

And either way, whatever design space jollylock, psyarm, spellburst, kineticist is, its crowded and avowed is pushing the limits.
>>
>>52417561
Avowed does all-day blaster miles better than any of them.
Its combat niche is battlefield control and debuffing with a malleable combat style from its different shapes, alongside decent damage.

It's everything the kineticist tried to be, except it actually works because it has much less theme-inspired mechanical locks on options, and has a respectable damage ceiling. give d8s back though

Spellburst Savant, Spherecaster and also Kineticist to an extent have to spend resources every time they want to keep up with something Avowed can do all day.
>>
>>52417561
It attacks with arcane bolts, not blasts. Blasting is usually magical AoE bursts instead of "weaponlike attacks". Scorching Ray is a weaponlike spell used by blasters, but fireball is THE "blaster" spell.

All of them occupy the niche of "specializing in doing ranged damage with reasonable utility on the side."

Yeah, you are. Fuck off.
>>
>>52417690
The pact determines surprisingly little about how the class plays in many cases.
I'd say it only affects less than 1/3 of how your build comes together.

Meanwhile you can choose any shapes you want, any clauses, and any modulations, and the Kineticist over the hill constantly has to fight against which blast elements allow which shapes and infusions and whether they need to sacrifice that to have better access to utility talents.

>>52417754
