>Is there a feat like the Precise Bombs feat except for... not bombs? I'm trying to build a Gloom Chymist and I don't want to nuke my friends by mistake.

Also, any advice for building/playing a Gloom Chymist?

Most of the guides are entirely bomb-focused and glooms don't count as bombs.

I think some of the stuff needs to be hammered out still, but making allowances for it being a playtest right now to find how the beta version plays with existing rules I still think it has good potential as a way to make building martial artists more interesting without occupying the same space as Path of War.

It won't be for everyone but that's an asinine criteria because there is literally nothing in this game that everyone who plays it likes.

Third-party thing.

A couple years ago they did Spheres of Power, which was an alternative magic system based more around mana pools and a modular system of abilities you could combine to make magic than spell slots.

Now they're playtesting a similar system but for skills and weapon combat.
>>
>>52764186
Hrm, yeah those seem about right as far as serious female apps are concerned. I'd probably ship Emilia with some of the male apps, Lucius included.

Sorry bro, but it's less about AD&D in particular and more that that system just so happened to have something that I feel modern systems lack, and I've felt this way for a while despite only just recently learning about AD&D's rules.

>>52764164
How is that inconsistent? NORMAL people in PF have 10 Con, and as shown with carrying capacity rules higher stats are meant to be exponential as opposed to just linear, which means that at 20 Con you're not twice as healthy as the normal man, you're more like 4-5 TIMES as healthy as the normal man, and are practically superhuman in that respect. How does it NOT make sense that you should get more bonuses for that fact outside of a good Fort save and a few extra hit points?
>>
>>52764186
What is meant by "serious"? People that actually want to play, or ones that are more serious in tone?
>>
>>52764262
As apps that are well written and aren't a meme like Vivienne.
>>
>>52764232
What's your comprehensive ship list, though?

>>52764262
On a sliding scale of silly to serious, compare Succubed to Crytha, Vivienne to Olivia, or KANNA to Cijiska. You can immediately tell that the former are very light in tone, or just plain weird, while the latter... well, aren't. Serious IN TONE is what I'm talking about.

>>52764245
Probably because lists of random special bonuses and penalties for each ability score at specific breakpoints over-complicates them, runs counter to the whole design of them being core competencies that determine your base point on the RNG, and makes all the special abilities they're attached to instantly way the fuck less special.

>>
>>52764363
It really isn't, but I've made my bet and I'll stick with it. I made a serious character because I didn't want to play with a bunch of memes.

Honestly you might be able to get away with making clones of all bomb-related feats and discoveries, only applying to glooms.

Let's talk about you instead. Working on any interesting apps?
>>
>>52764437
Didn't they specify that glooms aren't bombs just so you wouldn't be able to use those feats and discoveries with glooms?

This would require permission from my DM, right? I'm not entirely sure that would fly.
>>
>>52764363
Let's be real here, the thread would be shitposting about how it was too dark if he went serious and grim, too silly if he went light and comfy.

Being able to rely fully on Strength for opportunity attacks is highly convenient, particularly when it means you can leave your Dexterity at 12 and wear full plate.

It is also much more convenient to gain Parry and Riposte via a combat talent (equivalent to a feat) than via a one-level dip that sabotages your progression.

>The critfishing is cute, but how much do you have invested to massage the numbers for a still less than 50/50 chance to make something explode?
Considering that this is a 1st-level build that still manages to be a skill monkey and a reach-based lockdown build that shuts down ranged attacks, the build has still managed to round itself out even after heightening its offense.

For reference, this is the 1st-level build in question: >>52762240
>>
>>52764514
I don't care about what the thread shitposts, though? Neither should you. I don't want to waste my time making a light hearted app and have it immediately discounted because the DM decided to pick all serious characters
>>
>>52764556
But who except other anons trying to shill is saying the GM is going to pick all serious characters/all meme characters?
>>
Wait touhou posts here to? I remember him from /wodg/ but didn't expect to find him here
I mean his whole gig is pointing out broken builds right? Thats kind of irrelevant in a game as utterly shattered as pathfinder isn't it?
>>
>>52764556
the meme characters have (mostly) pmed the gm saying that they cant actually meet the time slot

it was just a labor of love for 'em.
>>
>>52764571
Nobody is, the opposite could hold true too, where a serious character is passed over because the others are too silly. Wouldn't it annoy you if you made a serious character and that happened? Especially when all the DM has to do is state what mood he wants the game to have rather than sit on the fence about it?
>>
>>52764626
Not really? I don't need my hand held to make my character. If it's an evil game, I'm going to assume certain things, and just do what I want to play unless otherwise noted.

Is /pfg/ really so used to Adventure Paths that it can't figure out how to make characters independently of a Player's Guide anymore?
>>
>>52764130
They need to leave the tsundere shit to Gonzo and april releases, and not just shove in random terms they don't even understand.

Mechanics are less evocative than PoW, and dedicating Focus to a sphere is just kinda frustrating. I'm personally not a fan of Spheres of Power (not that I think there's anything wrong with the system, honestly, it's just not something I find interesting to build with or play - more power to you if you do like them), and this is looking to be... like that but simultaneously worse balanced and with cringeworthy writing. And the mechanics are more frustrating.

That said I can't touch PoW with a clear conscience given how poorly tuned it is. And I find other martials boring as hell. And I hate vancian casters. And psionics feels bland and free of fluff.

Why am I playing Pathfinder again

Guys help I think I have stockholmes
>>
>>52764626
Some of us don't take getting into a game so seriously. It's not like I got passed over for a job, or rejected by a college, or sent a Dear John letter by a girlfriend.
>>
>>52764657
>And psionics feels bland and free of fluff.
Shit taste.
>>
>>52764365
I've been sitting here while talking to others in the Discord about random crap thinking about this, and I have to ask, what about this is any different from what we already have to deal with now? As it stands Pathfinder is already very heavily into long lists of documentation about what benefits are given to characters, and once you know that at 22 Str your character should have the ability to hold up a 500 lb door with no problem for like, a solid 10 minutes it really isn't that big of a deal to keep track of.
>>
>>52764695
It's literally just "a thing happens". Never "you summon a thing which does a thing", or "you create a thing which shoots a thing."

There's nothing to build off of. I have to make all my character's fluff up on my own, and I suck at that. ><
>>
>>52764724
Because Psionics is all about you doing a thing. It's up to you how you style doing a thing. You're character is a powerful mentalist. Have the power's be effect by their state of mind. If you're using energy ray maybe your character clutches their head in pain as the temperature around them shoots up several degrees before belching out a beam of hot fire?

I mean, that doesn't really seem like a complaint all that different from any other magic type in the game. If anything fluffing psionic shit is easier because you don't need to shoehorn verbal and somatics in there.
>>
>>52764657
Check out the psionics augmented stuff that mixes psionic and psychic.
>>
>>52764767
That's fair, but I rely on interesting spell and ability descriptions to come up with my character's fluff, rather than the other way around. I don't get any IDEAS from psionics - there's not a point to jump off of. Same issue I have with Spheres, actually.

>>
>>52764544
So the main thing here is it can do the OPReflexes build faster than 1pp martial builds, primarily because it's so hard to get OPR onto another chassis without being a 'Buckler. It gets that on top of having a bunch of other random bullshit and an Ill conceived set of numberfucking abilities.

The actual problem, as far as I can tell, is this: the class chassis has too much going on, which interacts in strange ways with the alternative power system that the book is also providing. The solution would be to remove or prune some of the class things or rework the power system.

If anything, it reminds me of the Mystic from PoW.

Guys, I'm getting annoyed. So I'm starting a new campaign with some friends, but others have found out. We now have about 8 players instead of the usual 4 who want to play, plus an additional 2 who may or may not come. I'm willing to bet that all these people will come for a handful of sessions, no more than maybe 2, then vanish and just fuck up my games every few weeks by appearing with their underpowered characters.


First session is in about an hour. Only 3 of these players have ever played Pathfinder properly, but 2 of the newfags have played about 30 mins of a premade mission.


How would you guys recommend I proceed? I was gonna throw massive amounts of enemies at them (there's an in game reason for that) and let them struggle not to be overwhelmed, but that may not work now, since there's so many players. Plus combat would be slowed right down. Any ideas?


All I can think of right now is killing the shit out of anybody who can't cut it, and let them deal with that.
>>
>>52765257
Long-ass fancy descriptions of what happens and why, like Black Tentacles. You can build a whole character around the idea of whatever the fuck you're tapping into.

Like the biggest issue isn't actually so much the powers (though I've got that too), it's that I don't even get where the class's power COMES from, but they explain it slightly too much for me to just go "Yeah sure it's magic whatever". With a Wizard, it's 'eh, magic'... or there's a longass in-universe explanation of it tapping into the Weave or whatever. With a sorcerer, it's "grandma fucked a dragon and that's genetic". I can shrug that off.

Where Psionics loses me is the point where I go "okay, cool, so WHY does me being hella smart let me move things with my mind". It's slightly too developed for me to shrug off and go "this isn't important", but not developed enough for me to be satisfied with the answer. I don't get what about the Vitalist's willpower/perception/spirituality allows 'em to move their party member's health around, I don't get why a Wilder's emotion has turned into energy blasts, and I don't get what the fuck a damn Psion is studying that lets them throw a motherfucker at another motherfucker with their motherfucking mind.

Without getting that... I don't even know how to START on a character.

No, I mean setting wise you poo brain. As in I change Sarkoris to be a high-tech civilization instead of a barbaric animistic nation so I can add non-magical relics, introduce enemies from Tome of Horros and Bestiaries that came after the AP which would fit perfectly in a Heavy Metal album cover or do references to the literature which inspired late 70s hard rock like that of Mike Moorcock.
>>
>>52765299
It's all fucking explained - was better explained even in 2e of course - but you've obviously done the same as old 2e GMs who called it overpowered, and read it cover AND cover instead of cover to cover.

You may legit be on the spectrum. Do what you do for Wizards, but read the goddamned fluff for the meaningless subdivisions PF puts on everything. Or suss out in your own head how you think they would do things.

The Wilder is lashing out at what they hate, manifest in mind energy. The Vitalist can see damage as tarry pools in the auras of party members. The Psion has entered The Matrix and realizes there is no fucking spoon.
>>
>>52765363
I actually am on the spectrum. Doctor diagnosis and everything.

The main issue is- what the fuck is mind energy? If the psion is some sort of platonic cave bullshit, then what's the damn fire they're making shadows with? WHY can the vitalist see goddamn hit points?

The Psionics chapter in ultpsi's fluff is vague as fuck. Literally just "Psionic powers spring from sentient minds... The exact implementation of how this energy is harnessed – meditation, mental strength, clarity of thought, a third eye, etc – is up to you, but psionics is all about using the power of the mind to affect change in the world."

If there's a giant-ass fluff paragraph I'm missing in that chapter that EXPLAINS how the hell it DOES that, I'd LOVE to know what page it's on so I could stop being so fucking stupid.

Have you ever heard of the term "magical thinking"? Where people believe they can influence events by thinking really hard about it?

That's Psionics. Only the events are "you catch fire now". If that still bothers you, they manipulate a specific material from the Ethereal Plane (ectoplasm) to make constructs and perform effects. This material is thought reactive.

>>52765375
>>52765443
Immediately consider the fact that mental energy exists in real life in the form of electricity and that different emotions, stimuli, and senses cause different parts of your brain to fire in different patterns.

Like fucking hell it doesn't.

>>52765738
Oh yeah, but that's only Barrage and Rampage and the AoEs at level 10+ (after the next nerf)

Since they're battlefield control and using the GM Pact they're probably focusing on AoE.
>>
>>52765748
It does exist and the GM for Overlewd is in it, duh. He mostly posts porn.

Cube's probably going to be effectively immortal after a couple of levels with all her immunities, gay as shit HP and effective immunity to save-or-dies
>>
>>52765775

Sleep banned broken blade and is discouraging it for Overlewd, people playing invincible cubes are just self selecting themselves out.
>>
>>52765746
>Bloodforge and Dreamscarred Press Monster Classes allowed
If you're going to play a monster, I recommend these

What IS discouraged on the other hand is Broken Blade.
>>
>>52765784
>>52765785
Where's the Cube class anyway?
>>
>>52765775
>>52765784
She just wanted to be a bed, anons...
>>
>>52765805
Doesn't mean she's not immortal
Honestly Overlewd is probably not going to be combat-heavy anyway so it doesn't matter, it's not like the other monster apps are any more balanced. He allowed Gestalt and Savage Species 2.0, I doubt Sleep cares about balance this time.
>>
>>52765810
And yet the best app uses no monster classes

Really activates those almonds.

No I like the concept a lot
It's just
She doesn't feel like a PC. She feels like an NPC, and not in the "2 flat" way but in the "you have to be THIS DM-tier to qualify" way. She's like an exposition recurrring character you meet on your travels.

>>52765900
>>52765904
Broodie literally does not have time to play, so he submitted a joke app. The character's continued existence on the app page is the joke.
>>

How do you not understand the level of meme put into that character

>>52765904
Anon its a meta thing.
>>
>>52765766

The author turned a literal demon into "2 pure and naive 4 dis world" waifu bait. It's a perfect storm of the traits I hate most in /pfg/'s apps.

Anon... Come on the meme goes so many levels deeper

That character is a perfectly crafted shitpost, right down to the cropped porn image.
>>
>>52765907
>>52765910
So it's an in-joke?

NG+, Slime Bed and Transformer Fairies are funnier.
>>
>>52765926
It's really not as funny, meme-worthy, or unique as you think it is, Broodie. It's literally just the dom archetype.

>>52765928
No it's a shitpost in the original sense of "zero-value post" because it is a literally meaningless app in the app thread which cannot play even if chosen.
>>
>>52765933
I'm not Broodie. I just see the memes man.

It's a waste-of-space not-app that isn't even like Argentum's or something which is at least somewhat passable in its raw absurdity. The only thing that is meme-like is the name von Edelfelt, but Luvia isn't a dom she's a wrassler.

It's all bubbly and not clean at all
It has a couple more features in the Class List and stuff sure but it looks like shit and doesn't even print well
Also pretty sure it has less space for skills
>>
>>52766006
This fucking guy right here.

Experimental sheets look like fucking shit. Seriously, it's just not a good looking sheet. Use the legacy one you fucks.
>>
>>52766006
It has more room to write the abilities and stuff on the actual lines.

And NEITHER sheet calculates things properly nor can you disable autocalc on either of them, so it's not like there's a functional advantage to either.
>>
>>52766018
i personally like its layout more but thats just me
>>
>>52766022
Legacy sheet can reorder skills.
>>
>>52766022
It literally doesn't though
It doesn't have enough for an actual description of the skills but it has enough to fit in just about any named skill you have
If it's homebrew you can just put it in since the lines scroll

>>52766026
I can sort of see that but it just looks bad. It's like an unholy matrimony of Gnome, Apple, and Windows 7.
>>
>>52766039

Eh, it's mostly fine.

The biggest issues I see, are:
1. Her reason for participating in the adventure is super flimsy, and has absolutely nothing to do with the majority of her backstory.

2. Her personality is just kinda... blah. When putting together a group, one of the biggest factors I consider is how one character is going to interact with the rest of the group. As written, this character is too goddamn nice. She's unlikely to really have interesting conflicts with anyone and her pain is all internalized/hidden, so... people have to dig to get to it. Ultimately the point of a character flaw isn't so you can check a box, it's to provide deeper/more interesting interactions, and to provide a speedbump on the character's journey. You've got latter down, now you need to work on the former.

The rest of the app is perfectly serviceable, so fix those two problems and you should be fine.
>>
>>52766022

I was really into pathfinder for a while, but i stopped following things around a year ago due to work. I'm starting another game soon, and I want suggestions on a written adventure to run.

Something that is good for drop in players, and I can gm pc some silent brutes if it comes up. Not Rappan Athuk or Slumbering Tsar, but similar things would be good. Any ideas?

I've currently been playing in a Way of the Wicked campaign for the last few months, we just finished with book 2 and are starting book 3.

It's definitely a solid AP to run and I really recommend picking up the 7th book they released which basically acts as a supplement for the other 6 books (extra handout, info, etc.)

If you also open up the 2nd book, somewhere towards the end they have some options for starting the game differently than normal (like an all goblin group, no spellcasters, all clerics, etc.)

The one thing I will say is that book 2 is definitely the odd one out of all of them according to the GM and could use some work. Aside from that I suggest taking a good look at that AP and see about running the campaign!

>>
>>52766734

I think it's actually that the fact there's so much new lore to learn and options to read over creates the perception of a huge entry hurdle that intimidates applicants.

What should I do?

He basically told us to give any suggestions to make PCs even more broken
>>
>>52767652
Well aside from getting to choose your entire inventory for free, there's nothing more broken than mythic, let alone mythic gestalt. With it you can effectively become an unkillable ball of death that full-rounds at the end of a charge he started about half across the city for martials and do this while submerged in lava and with seven different death effects looming over him or turn an entire city into ash with a single fireball without expending a slot for casters.

My DM is going to be running a gestalt game soon, and I was hoping to play the Draconic Exemplar from In the Company of Dragons. He's told me that if I'd like to play that then I will not allowed to gestalt like the other players, but the last time I saw the Draconic Exemplar be played in similar conditions (Gestalt game, friend of mine played one while I played a fighter/cleric) the class by itself severely underperformed in comparison to a gestalt character.

Well the DM is allowing him to use the wereraptor, so at least he'll be able to fly? I don't particularly want to play an Inquisitor, since that's what I'm already doing now.

>Spheres of Might
>Guardian

>Challenge: You may expend martial focus as a move action to issue a challenge to a creature you can see. A creature must perceive your challenge to be affected by it. The creature takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls that do not include you as a target and a +2 bonus on attack rolls targeting only you. Creatures receiving this effect are aware of it, though do not gain insight to its duration. This penalty (but not bonus) increases by 1 for every 4 points of base attack bonus you possess. The challenge lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + 1/2 your base attack bonus. When you issue a new challenge, any previous challenge you have active ends.

>Multiple challenges do not stack; if a creature is affected by challenges from more than one creature, they suffer no penalty and gain the bonus against the source of all of the challenges. Creatures with no Intelligence score (Intelligence score of (-)) cannot be targeted by your challenge.

How come they STILL haven't fixed Guardian?

How damn hard can it be to design a marking defender mechanic?

That is the 4e mark only it gives enemies a better chance to hit you, desu.
>>
>>52769959
The 4e mark never took a move action to apply, worked on creatures with no intelligence, you could mark multiple targets without forsaking your mark, and it didn't make you easier to hit. They also all came packaged with their own punishment mechanics to make being marked a lose/lose situation.

This only superficially resembles that.
>>
>>52769931
Dragoon, one level. Rogue, don't. Divine Hunter, 2 if you have a positive cha mod, 1 otherwise. Ranger, just go all ranger instead.

But if we gave martial defenders that, they'd actually be good at their fucking jobs and more DMs would feel frustrated and quit!
>>
>>52770003
The debuff value is the same (until scaling) as a 4e mark without any punishes. The punishes were not a part of the marked condition, they were class features that triggered off of said condition. You couldn't multi-mark without a power or class feature that off-action marked.

When you say "make it work like 4e" you mean "make it work like a well optimized Fighter or late period Paladin in 4e," desu.
>>
>>52770125

Get back in the shed, Sven.
>>
>>52770143
No class got a mark unless they could also punish.

What's the point of a mark without a punish?
>>
RAW says that a medium sized creature can't even attempt to fire a large two-handed firearm.
let's say you down a large-sized ogre and his large-sized blunderbuss falls to the ground.
okay, maybe you're too weak and it's too unwieldy to pick up and fire, sure. so you heave-ho and turn it in the general direction of a bunch of goblins.
why can't you pull the trigger?
what reason is there for you to be unable to shoot it?
i understand being unable to swing a sword that's as big as your entire body, but why can't you pull that trigger?

I plan from this point on going full inquisitor. I am also doing this as a Warpath Inquisitor.

Please someone advice me that this is too stupid and I shouldn't do this.

If you're not using fractional multiclass, yes.
>>
>>52770213
I believe what they mean is 'use effectively' but autistic idiots like you would try and rationalize it anyways, so they just stated "no, you can't" to save GM's the trouble of dealign with people like you.

Paizo at least knows their playerbase that well.

Race, setting, and archetype.

Tell your GM you're using it as a field gun, so it takes a move action to aim it and a standard one to fire it.

Sounds like a frontiersman (trait for Survival and Knowledge (Nature) and put points in Stealth and Profession (Trapper)) or a trick shooter (Acrobatics, Sleight of Hand and maybe a Perform) or even a retired sharpshooter.

It's pretty hard to do without the setting details, however. Grab your DM and ask him, because you REALLY ought to find out the setting details BEFORE getting backstory down.

how on earth does a colossal shuriken only deal 1d8 damage

Shuriken are actually pretty bad throwing implements; they were mostly used to hit the target with poison or the like. Even huge ones weren't likely to go through much.
>>
>>52770625
wouldnt a colossal shuriken be the size of a minivan
you'd inflict more damage just dropping it than actually making an attack with it

Colossal Shuriken would be heavy enough to simply detonate the organs of anyone they so much as scratched due to their raw kinetic energy. If a Colossal Shuriken weighed 500 kilograms and moved proportionally to its size then it'd be able to take down apartment complexes with contemptouos ease.

I'll have my first game of Pathfinder in a few days.

I already decided to create a Grippli Alchemist (I'm a sucker for anything reptilian/amphibian and poison), do you have any helpful advice for an absolutely new player?

Level 1
>>
>>52770605

Yeah, but you're probably die horribly the first time a thunderstorm hits.
>>
>>52770698

First, what level are you starting at, and is there anything you'd especially want to be able to do?
>>
>>52770518
It's going through 4 size increases or a multiplication in size of 16. A shuriken normally weighs 0.1 pounds and is probably an inch in radius. Now it's 16 inches in radius, about the length of a sword. Swords don't fly very well. You're throwing a very un-aerodynamic sheet of metal.

>>52770645
Minivans are like 14-20 feet long. Is your shuriken a foot long to start with?
>>52770684
Even if you multiplied it by 8 for each size doubling, which you don't, since weapons double by RAW, it'd only weigh 400 pounds.
>>
Who is the spiciest boy in your group, and why is he spicy?

Rime spell

>This feat only affects spells with the cold descriptor.
This implies that you can prepare any spell like this (say a fireball), then admixture it to cold and have all those baddies get entangled (no save, three rounds), preferably in a surprise round so when they roll initiative they get -2 from entangled.
Once you have a spell perfection why not add heighten spell, so they're entangled for up to 8 or 9 (magical lineage) rounds.
Is that the gist of it?

>>52770737
Doesn't mean that makes physical sense m8, since it's now made of like, water or something.

We start at level 1.

I'm not really sure.. I liked the idea of poison bombs, but I'm a total noob as I said.

What are my options, what could I do?
>>
>>52770702
At level, 1 you signed up for the army and went through basic training. You can't do shit-all else.
>>
>>52770994
We would suggest providing info like setting, what sources the GM is allowing and number traits allowed would help!
>>
>>52771566


I honestly don't know.
I guess it will be rather basic, we start at level 1 and our GM creates his own setting for us.

I guess I have to ask again when we actually started, i thought there are general advice people can give me like in a game.

What does "Caster Level Check" Mean and when does it come into play?

I am playing with friends on roll 20 and on every spell I cast it automatically rolls that and none of us known when its used.
