Pathfinder General /pfg/

Midieval Machinery Edition : Has actual engineering and ingenuity ever been a major plot point for you? Or is it always overshadowed by magic?

Posting again since it's a new thread.

So to talk a bit about game stuff. I'm looking to see if I have missed anything from my "group supplies" list. I have separated the supplies onto two Yaks. One Yak carries the majority of the stuff the other Yak is mainly for carrying loot once loot is garnered.

I have it separated into categories:
>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E6g64z_WT48ZD9h-xVn7P2enLxvQfRIbLYYEqPJ-VvI/edit?usp=sharing

Am I missing anything vital?

For reference this is for a party of 6, this means we are a little short in some supplies, like we only have 4 shovels, 2 saws, and 2 balancing poles, but I thought we generally didn't all need to be using them at once.

Have a means of spending either more money or using higher Craft Check to make more powerful versions. TES that shit.

>>52755549
Alchemical creation sort of stuff?

I would package them into feats. Stuff like increasing their DC and the like would be feat based.

Something like:
Alchemical Sapper
Prerequisites: Throw Anything, BaB +3
Benefit: When throwing an Alchemical Thrown Weapon (Acid, Alchemist Fire, Thunder Stone, Tanglefoot Bag, etc.) increase the difficulty class of the saving throw by 1/2 your character's level.

Or be able to make a character with a high Craft Alchemy check be able to add points to the DC.

Another feat that adds +1 point of damage per two levels to the splash damage.

A feat that increases the spread by 5 feet.

That sort of thing.

Also make more alchemical creations that give relevant debuffs or make a feat that lets you upgrade debuffs like Dirty Trick does.

One game went kinda slowly as the group had to juggle a bunch of things at once to get everything into place for the sessions to come. Another game had a fun between-chapter session, where we started working on tying up some loose ends and figuring out what to buy/make for our next foray out into the world. I have so much fucking money that I don't really know what do do with, god damn. I give my GM a lot of shit for some mechanical choices too, but damn if he didn't do a good job of juggling three separate scenes at once.

Introducing my new kid to the rest of party will be a barrel of laughs.

Not engineering, but my party was in some sort of magic fortress in another dimension. On several of the doors were some eye things that shot beams of energy at us all at once and was fucking us up. I remembered that the room we passed to get there had mirrors, so I spent a turn going to get one and used it on the next turn to reflect the beams right back at the eye, killing it. We proceeded to all grab mirrors to deal with more eyes.

Getting Sidestep Secret might be good for it, though many mysteries don't synergize well with Bard. How about instead of Oracle go with the Maestro Bloodline Sorcerer?

My group consists of a bard, a witch, a ranger (built for melee), and a monk (also built for melee).

What sort of character would you go for to round out a group like that? My first thoughts were druid, mesmerist, or alchemist, but I don't know how the witch is building and I don't think our group really needs a 3rd support character.

I don't really enjoy melee combat (I am so, so tired of power attack), so I usually avoid things like fighter, barbarian, paladin, etc. I normally play clerics, so I'd like to avoid anything like that for now.

I have no idea. I know my group is pretty balanced so just about any character could fit, but I'm still getting hung up on it anyway. I'd like to play something really unique or gimmicky, but I'm not entirely sure what that would be.

I was asking about poison builds in the last thread, but then everyone started arguing so I stopped posting.

So The Deliverance Machine is a device used for when an individual wishes to die. It's meant as a form of indirect assisted suicide, as it allows you to answer a series of questions to confirm your desire to die. I have pushes this to a large scale.

In the setting I normally run in the world is extremely old and is now dying of old age. Most gods have passed due to advanced age or conflict and those who are left have fallen to senility or are biding their time for the shake up at the end of the world.

A group of mortals are building what they are called The Deliverance Engine, a decide meant to confirm creation's desire to die due to advanced age and enact an End of Days scenario. They use the reasoning of mortals having destroyed and sucked the world essentially dry over their long tenure there and creation's voice needed representation. As well as a need for a sudden stop to the current situation to allow creation to rest and start up again when it has regained its strength.

How would your PC view such a faction?
>>
>>52756157
Well that is straight up a Bard already, so the Oracle side would be adding tricks.

If you wanted to be more fighty, Warsighted on the Oracle side will get it done. If you want to be more casty, Spirit Guide - Lore gives you a floating chunk of the entire Sorc/Wiz spell list on demand every day (depending on DM ruling). If you want All Cha Everything, vanilla or Ancient Lorekeeper Lunar Oracle'd work.

Decide if you want your Bard spells to supplement your Oracle spells or vice versa. If you take the more casty options, you have access to three separate caster lists: Wizard, Cleric, Bard. You make a damn good Red Mage.
>>
>>52756241
As insane as the rest of the world. Basically normal though I would not agree with them
>>
>>52756157
My point about the non-gestalt bard is that you're getting everything you want out of the bard side, so you're free to use the other side of the gestalt to shore up what you think is weakest about the character. From where I sit, the biggest drawback for the bard is not being able to deal a lot of damage, so grab a full BAB class or something with some extra damage like sneak attack. If your DM allows 3pp, warlord would be a great option to pad out your combat capabilities.

If you're really not happy with the bard's spell selection then, yeah, you could gestalt in a full spellcaster. Sorcerers have a wider stable of spells, but an oracle or beguiler would work reasonably well too I suppose.
>>
>>52756182
Alright, well first of all Witches tend to be control or debuff oriented, with some utility. Bard probably has face ans support nailed, and the Ranger and Monk seem to have the melee covered and are both Wis heavy. So what you may want is either a Cha or Int based ranged combat character

Now, I remember your poison dude from last thread, and you also said you werenl't going for high-op, so you have some options.

Either go Poison based Alchemist, and apply poisons to either ranged or thrown weapons, with maybe Startoss style or something like that.

A Fighter with that one Ratfolk/Alchemy based archetype, built around Ricochet Toss and Startoss and the like and apply poisons and stuff to your thrown weapons

A typical archer build, like an Archerdin or something akin to it.

Or perhaps, and this is getting crazy now, an Eldritch Archer Magus/Brewkeeper, allowing you to apply your Harmful Homebrews on your ranged attacks!

Really, as long as you stick to Int or Cha and make something ranged, you could be good. After that, just go nuts, find a silly archetype that seems cool, and build around it.

Is any of this helpful to you?

>>52756182
First, what gimmicks are you thinking of? Poison is hard to make work, but I think the Eldritch Poisoner Alchemist is decent enough. Mesmerist wants you to be close and is about fucking with numbers, so that might not be the best choice. I would suggest Nature Fang Druid with the Eagle Domain, but that might make your Ranger player upset.

The obvious choice off the dome would be a ranged character with some utility and burst damage. Eldritch Archer Magus or Grenadier Alchemist would be my first choices. You shoot trick arrows at things and do lots of damage on lucky crits (Magus) or kind of in general (Alchy).

I've got like, three character concepts that need Gestalt to flesh them out, and nobody seems to be interested in it besides that dreadful lewdshit game.

What's a man to do?
>>
>>52756541
Eldritch Archer allows you to cast touch spells through a projectile, at the expense of regular spellstrike. Brewkeeper's status effect abilities trigger off of a touch spell or splash weapon.

You get a touch cantrip (Brand is nice) and Spellstrike with it, adding the debuffs from Brewkeeper on hit. Or you do the Rime Spell Frostbite gimmick and land fatigued, staggered, slowed, and your Brewkeeper debuff.

It's pretty neat.

Is there any GM who would be lax enough to allow both Spheres of Might and Path of War (with the likes of Broken Blade, Primal Fury, and Shattered Mirror) upon the same character?

I can only imagine how terrifying initiators would be given a Spheres of Might martial tradition, Muscular Reflexes for Strength-based Combat Reflexes, Seize the Opportunity for attack actions on attacks of opportunity, Superb Reach for another 5 reach at all times, and the infamous one-talent Dueling dip for Cut From the Air + Smash from the Air + scaling damage reduction.

>>
>>52756493
But all those require actions. If he (you?) wants to primarily play a bard, a very active class, the other side of the gestalt should be mostly passive: boosts that don't require actions to benefit from (things like BAB or save boosts, bonus feats for ex.) If you have to decide whether you want to cast a buff on yourself from the oracle side or start up a bardic performance on your first round of combat you're doing it wrong.

I don't think anybody is interested in allowing Spheres of Might period right now. It's a mess in its current state with power levels all over the place, plus you run the risk of it getting the Avowed treatment and getting the knees cut out from under it half way through the app process.

The second one is nice, but retain the 3/4ths progression for the Polymath and Warpath Follower. They're powerful enough as templates already, combining barely-affected casting with rather potent maneuvers.

Prestige class requirements are alright, though you're better off making them "Evangelist" style and letting them progress your class features from the class you entered with, but at a slower pace.
BaB/Skill requirements I'm not sure about. I say no, though.

What does that even mean? You have initiators in your game, they effortlessly win combat period, and the degree doesn't matter. You've already committed to not caring, why start with this one class?

It suffers the universal problem of adding too much, but it "adds too much" to a class that had pretty much nothing anyway, on a chassis that's garbage. Its claim to fame as letting Rogue be the only full progression 6th caster/initiator also means you get nothing else.

A Stalker is still better.

A Vigilante Stalker is a better point of comparison, since it doesn't rely on a resource pool as much and also gets Sneak Attack. Not as much, but it has other benefits.

Since I have poor luck getting into games with any semblance of competition, I think I'll run one. What would you guys like to see out of these?
1.) Atmospheric survival/scavenger campaign inspired by Hyper Light Drifter and Bioshock the former more so than the latter. A lot of emphasis on cool magical items and understanding an uncompromising world.
2.) Straight-up episodic dungeon delve, where the players regularly enter new dungeons for the sole purpose of making money and winning glory.
3.) Literally Samurai Jack in reverse
>>
So what takes priority with a low budget. Survivability or damage dealing.
>>
>>52757420
Gimmicks. Never spend money on +1s. Find and acquire gimmick items.
>>
>>52757420
always damage
>>
>>52757028
>that look on his face in the second panel
>"why is this my life"
>>
>>52757430
Understood.
>>
>>52757420
Damage. If you can kill the enemy first, they can't hurt you or your allies
>>
>>52757420
Even at low-midlevel where survivability is still a real thing, the game "balance" assumes you're going to get a +1 weapon that adds 1d6 to it, and an attribute-enhancer. This is you "keeping up" with the 1d6/level of an appropriate spell for the level and what they're balanced towards - you pay money for that, they pay money for whatever is actually useful or interesting.
>>
>>52757420
Depends on what crafting feat your arcane caster has
>>
>>52757018
That nearly is important: are you gating the feats in other ways or not? Because getting something like Spell Perfection or later Eldritch Heritage fears early can play silly buggers with balance. Personally, I'd level gate them to something like (Current BAB/skill rank level - 3). Anything that becomes level 0 or below gets turned into something everyone gets. I'd also target stat prerequisites.

Don't know enough about PoW to comment on the second, but level gating certain PrCs to third level and letting anyone take them would be a neat thing. If nothing else, make Mystic Theurge and Eldritch Knight early access.

>>
>>52757533
Off the top of my head, and caring about ONLY your AC? 20-21, iirc.
>>
>>52757506
Would be leaving all the caster feats as they are and only remove BAB/Skill ranks on "martial" feats. But it's probably the most ambitious change and will need close supervising.

>>52757589
I forgot, alrighty. That would make the AC like 22 at first level. You should probably take DEX-to-Damage stuff.

Don't have time for a full review, but here are a couple quick points.

1. Her actual start of darkness is quite good, though if you want her to be non-evil, I'd have her debate it for a little bit. Weighing a comfy life vs. bloody vengeance, before making her choice. It'd flesh out the character a bit more, and make her alignment a bit more believable.\

2. As-is, her personality is pretty generic for this sort of adventure, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but means you need to give her some quirks/foibles to make her stand out from the crowd.

3. Dunno what Sleep's expected power level is, but Gestalting a full-caster and full-initiator seems like it'd be nearly impossible to not step on the toes of your fellow PCs. Plus, I see absolutely nothing in her backstory that justifies her being a Hedgewitch; I'd swap it for Bard or Mesmerist, which seems to fit much better with your theme.

If your character had a smart phone, what description and profile pictures would they use for Tinder? Who would they swipe right for?

I like the idea of having her debate the choice, that's a good idea.

Her personality could stand for a bit more expansion. It definitely feels a bit too sparse for me

Hedgewitch isn't a full caster, and I don't see how bard or mesmerist makes more sense than hedgewitch. But you're right in that it isn't really explained well. I'll have to work on that.

Correct... but they're still a dedicated casting class. Presumably you'd want to at least *mention* a character's significant magical talent and how it developed.

>>52757962
>Hedgewitch isn't a full caster
Eh, I must have had it confused with another spheres caster then. My suggestion for Bard was to support her military side (while keeping the knowledges), because buffing allies. Whereas the Mesmerist was meant to support her manipulative side, because enchantments and +1/2 level to Bluff.

Using a fluff-free class is fine, but then the onus of fluffing the class is on you.

Hedgewitch is not specifically a "Witch", anon, it's just a class name. You don't give a fuck about your actual class name in-world, because Spheres is designed to be refluffable because all they cared about was functionality instead of forcing you to do certain things with fluff.
>>
>>52758870
You don't need spheres to refluff things, though.

>>52758874
My guess is wanting to have class names denote what kind of magic the character does, at least fluff wise.

I had that qualm with SoP to a lesser extent, in how the system is modular but waffles on whether classes are hyperspecific (the Low Casters, mostly), completely modular (Hedgewitch, the shapeshifter one) or just xeroxed (Wizard equivalent).

No, its a "this thing is for building a character around a particular chosen thematic concept as prvoded from one of its modular choices"

Whether that for making a magical tonic saleman by mixing Herbalism and Charlatinism, or by being a scholar who wishes to study life and death by combining Academic and Spiritualism, its supposed to be a class all about applying studied and uncovered knowledge and skills to your own magical aptitude, through whatever means you have available.

I only just now got into this conversation, so I don't know anything about the app in question, so I'm going to just give an example

Now, Font of Inspiration is a Tradition based on the use of Divination and other prophetic nonesense, while Triple Goddess is based around the whole Fates/Norns/MotherMaidenCrone deal

Perhaps fluff it as being blessed or cursed by some such entities to occasionally recieve prophetic visions and the ability to see the skeins of fate and alter them. Or perhaps your own destiny was somehow altered and the threads of your fate tangled and woven in such a way that you have learend how to occasionally see and pluck at the threads of the tapestry of the universe.

Really, the fluff would make you something like an Oracle, or Cassandra of Troy

I picked that font+goddess because it felt like a cool thing for a commander/tactician to have alongside the war sphere stuff. Could she have occasional prophetic flashes, or feelings, to explain the fate sphere, inspiration, and triple goddess stuff? I could use her celestial blood as a means of explaining that, even if she's mostly human.

Maybe it'd come across as a pressure?

Or, perhaps as part of a pact made with some norns, she can gain prophetic visions of multiple outcomes to come as a gift to help her hasten her great destiny. Though, if she taxes it too much it can be devistating.

Nigga you ain't a Cleric. Stop that shit. Unless you're playing silly buggers with the Foresight subschool, there shouldn't be anything you need to buff yourself with, as opposed to the party fighting man.
>>
>>52759482
That's maybe a good idea, though I wonder if that'd complicate the character's story too much. I don't like backstories that just feel like justifications for class features.
>>
>>52759600

You need to justify the class features though, just look for ways to make it seamless.
>>
>>52759620
Yeah, that's where it gets difficult sometimes; too little justification, and things aren't explained, but too much and it stories become really jarring and sometimes nonsensical. I'll probably go with the celestial blood explanation, or the zechs idea, since that's a bit interesting.

Hi Calsi

>>52759703
I hate Pathfinder but all my friends love it and even if I convince them to try another system it never sticks.

Slayer lets me ignore a lot of my issues with Pathfinder and I like the flavour which despite being generic, has surprisingly few straight counterparts in other systems.
>>
>>52759684
Bow-using Slayer who dedicates everything into being an asshole who goes first and has high extended range on his dogshit Sneak Attacks.

Sanctified Slayer, being better and more powerful in nearly every way. Know all about monsters and use lots of Bane. And a Bane Baldric.

That's about it unless you want to be a greatsword user, or occupy the """"role"""" of being able to use TWF without Dex investment so you can experience it being dogshit regardless of attribute.
>>
>>52759684
>>52759754
I don't recommend saying you'll NEVER play anything else, but it's a good thing to default back to since it's nice at simple. I'd at least recommend keeping an open mind for Sanctified Slayer (An Inquisitor Archetype_, assuming "spontaneous vancian casting" is not on your shitlist.

One's color spray, and the other's Mount. I've a Light Crossbow with 18 dex for damage.

The other questions, I'm none too sure. Guess I've made a mistake trying to play outside my Thief/Fighter/Gunslinger/Swashbuckler funk. Darn.

You're forgetting action issues. When you approach someone and attack with your feat investment, you don't even deal your tradeoff-balanced damage. You just hit once with your primary. Same with AoOs - you're totally nonthreatening in mobile combat.

Then the two-handers get awesome features like reach on you, and it just never looks good again. Use some kind of homebrew if you have players who want to TWF, always.

Anon left out the 2000gp fine print, but basically if you spend any amount of time fighting with weapons you probably want to do this.

>Wayfinder: 500gp
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/r-z/wayfinder-standard/
By combining this item with an Opalescent White Pyramid, you get Weapon Focus without spending a valuable feat for Paizo Tax.

>Opalescent White Pyramid (cracked): 1500gp
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/h-l/ioun-stones/opalescent-white-pyramid-ioun-stone/
The cracked stone here that you need to activate that feature of the Wayfinder? It gives Weapon Familiarity in its chosen weapon. This is always on the way to your featless Weapon Focus.
