Oh, well they're missing out then.

Does Barbarian's rage normally count character levels or Barbarian levels?

So, I'd like to pitch that in the PoW Errata, they remove or totally retool ordained defender.

As it stands you switch your initiating stat to wisdom, which since it grants will and improves the all important perception, is vastly superior to intelligence.

They gain a discipline for nothing. They also gain a more relevant knowledge skill in exchange for one rarely used.

And then they get a blessing or inquisition, lets nor forget the ever popular conversion inquisition, letting them totally dump CHA and use wisdom instead.

All this for the cost of two feats on a class that is basically feature complete without any feats.

There's a reason basically every single warder app you ever see in the /pfg/ games is ordained.

Ways to fix it might be to change the wisdom focus to charisma and force them to give up a discipline for the new one they gain.

>>52816981
Barbarian levels.

>>52816989
But then PoW won't be better than PF core!

>>52816992
Thanks that makes a lot more sense. I'm going to have to audit this bullshit.

You know what I don't like about wisdom? There are three gish prcs in pow1 and endless gestalt combinations, but only wis-based caster that doesn't suck is empyreal sorc. Others are healsluts and/or divinesluts or contemplative wilder. And it's a wilder.

>>52817160
Not him but fun fact:
Knots weaken rope, without exception. Certain knots, hitches (knots that tie a rope to something else), bends (knots that tie two ropes to each other), whippings (knots made to tie up frayed ropes) are 'beginner' knots, not just because they're easy to tie, but also because they make a rope much, much weaker.
As an example, the simplest knot, the Overhand, weakens a string or rope by over 70% of its original strength. Try tying an overhand loop (it's the one that comes most naturally when trying to make a knot) in a cotton string and tugging the string in half - it will always, without exception, break at the knot unless it was already damaged elsewhere.
The noose people usually use to hang themselves is fittingly known as the hanged man's noose, or Jack Ketch's knot, and is an extremely strong way of creating a loop.
Signature very strong knots include the Allbright Special (bend), for angling, Sailmaker's whipping that can only be used on multi-corded ropes, the Simple Simon under (bend), and Bachmann's hitch (for caving and climbing).

We've chosen this fate.

>>52818804
5eg had the right idea, should just collectively ignore the anime op and post a real one. It worked for them.

>>52818817
Nah.

>>52818817
Dueling threads are no better.

>>52818817
Because 5eg makes threads at page 9, 10, or sometimes even 11 and 12.

>>52818817
5eg is also full of boring normies that are somehow apalled by "weeaboos" on chinese cartoons imageboard. There is simply not enough people that care about your silly thread wars and anime OPs (especially when they ask relevant questions), deal with it.

>>52818916

5eg is actually a fun, vibrant place.

>>52818941
If only 5e was a vibrant, fun game.

When the fuck is Psionics and ToB equivalents going to finally drop for it so I can abandon this game forever.

>>52818968
I still don't get why they decided feats had to be optional and also replace ability score boosts when leveling. Like, shit nigga, you have a whole list of pretty okay reworked feats and you just go tell people not to use them? Your shits already bland, don't actively remove spices.

>>52818968
5e is pretty fucking bad and I don't think it's going to be fixed anytime soon. Much like Pathfinder

>>52819017

Some people can't handle spice, anon. Wizards of the Coast is trying to make the most flavorless gruel possible so *anyone* can lap it up, like the people who think Dark Souls needs an "Easy" mode or walking simulators are the height of storytelling.

>>52819032
But hey, at least with 5E I don't have to put up with Paizo's crap.

>>52819046
>implying WotC is any better

>>52819042
>people who think Dark Souls needs an "Easy" mode or walking simulators are the height of storytelling.
But there's nothing wrong with either of those. Walking simulators can be really engaging story wise, and sometimes people do just want to enjoy the story of a game without all the hassle of gameplay.

>>52819042
>Dark Souls
>Needing an easy mode

But that's just "get a tower shield". Game is already easy.

>>52819065
Dark Souls has no story. If you remove what makes the gameplay engaging you pretty much don't have anything.

>>52819082
Okay, but the gist of the argument could still apply to other games.

>>52819046

Wizards of the Coast is every bit as SJW as Paizo, as anyone who follows Magic: the Gathering can tell you. Difference is, WotC is actually somewhat competent at mechanics and storytelling.

Does this make them even more dangerous than Paizo? Probably.

>>52819082
Dark Souls requires you to actually read the goddamn item descriptions if you want a story or an inkling of what the deepest lore is, fag.

>>52819115
That's not a story. Those are vague nods and contextualization to actions. At the absolute best, dark souls has little vignettes of action but no story.

>>52819105
>WotC is actually somewhat competent at mechanics and storytelling
........maybe where MtG is concerned, because their iterations of D&D are FUCKED.

Even 4e was discovered to have such shitty mechanics that it made the game nigh unplayable once the 4urries got their heads out of their asses about how perfect the game was. they had to say "you need to fix two entire monster books or use this fixed monster book, and errata is a feature, not a bug". But by then it was already on it's way to the grave.

>>52819158
>errata is a feature, not a bug
Uhh.. isn't it like explicitly not a bug?

>>52819098
I'd argue otherwise.

Ideally, the plot and mechanics of a story based game should intersect. The gameplay should reinforce the plot, themes, and world building set forth by the game's story as much as the games story justifies the game-play.

Plenty of games have done it.
Nier, Drakengard, Undertale, The World Ends with You, Lisa the Painful, and Jounrey all from the top of my head.

Dark Souls, while lacking in story does set out to create a dark, lonely, and tense atmosphere. The hard game-play reflects this Same goes for Darkest Dungeon.


And to bring this back to /tg/ and Pathfinder, why do you think horror doesn't work in Pathfinder? It's all story right? That's because the mechanics of Pathfinder don't reinforce horror.

I'm playing for the first time and im having to powergame out of my ass in order to even stay relevant, its disgusting. Is this the system's fault, my GM's? Is the magus just ass?

Why the fuck did they choose to name a gish and a class VERY subpar at using magic at all the 'Magus', after the origin of the word "Magic" and "Magician", the Magi of Zoroastrian Persia?

Literally everyone in Pathfinder does this. It's an assumption of the system, you aren't going above and beyond what is expected of you.

Is there any actual point to making a male character? Any traits you give a male character, you could also have put on a female variation of it. The only difference is that the female form is objectively more aesthetically appealing (literally an art fact, I'm not just labeling a really-subjective thing as objective here). They don't have any of their real-world weaknesses so you just get a perfect lifeform with all gain and no drawback.

Sort of, yes. I know I noticed the campaign just by looking through the roll20 LFG. Thought it sounded neat, started working on an application. Noticed he mentioned /pfg/, so I thought I'd look here to see if anything was being said about it despite not usually frequenting /pfg/. Found a new thread, fell asleep cause I was tired, woke up to find people bitching about applications, worrying about only women getting in, claims that your application has to be a meme to get in, etc.

Still working on that application, but now that I know /pfg/ is watching and judging all the applications, I kinda feel nervous. It's weird coming up with a character when a good cut of a general will probably judge you based on what you apply with.

They are playing a dwarf bloodrager (elemental), a kitsune sorcerer, and an ifrit gunslinger. I feel like they might struggle, even with advanced xp and some extra magic items, with no healing other than wands and potions.
Any advice? Or should I just be prepared for the tears to flow?

>cast through amf
She can just duck into it. Literally only her square is not AMF'd, she walks out of it to move Spheres around and into it to protect herself from magic.

>friendly dragon or dozen
Yeah about that, it's negative aligned, the entire Conjuration School is Impeded, aligned to Evil, Heavy Gravity. It's so big as a plane that she can afford to just drift her castle away until our dragons die because it's negative energy. Even if we bring Death Ward, there's a limit to how many dragons we can bring solely due to Death Wards prepared, even in scroll form, and the possibility of failing the spell. Also, there's a shitton of guards as I said. there's nothing really stopping us from running straight through the AMFs except the spheres but you don't get a save against the things and can't even use Wish to bring yourself back.
DM insists there's a way to beat her but I dunno anymore
The worst thing is, she's one of the minor recurring villains of our LAST campaign turned immortal, after the LG paladinfag 'redeemed' her. She was level 8 at the time and the worst she could do was move around a bunch of skeletons. Now she can move around orbs of fuck you.

No can do, her Spheres track one party member each and the last one is 15 feet in front of her. The golem would just explode on the way there because it has to pass through the square, her throne room is oddly practical considering her fighting style - it's only 7 squares wide and over 60 long.

>>52819965
No, because she has Iron Golems walking around in it.

You need conjuration spell to create 35ft wide and however tall that room is cylinder or stone or steel.

Yes
Then find and/or buff a strong enough paladin to make a Sunder check with the result of 25+ the demiplane's caster level.

Guess we'll try that then
We'd need two paladins though, because she has the ability to kill one person a day without a save at any time, her turn or not.
Also, if the Demiplane is destroyed, what happens to the Spheres? Wouldn't they just get dumped on us or something as everyone materializes outside of the Plane?

Were they too busy jerking each other off in OOC? How the fuck does 8 rounds of combat take 3 hours? What were those retards doing?

I'm looking for a couple ideas to spice up a heist-type encounter for my party in a few weeks.

I've given them the mission to bust an alchemist from a rival country out of house arrest and covertly spirit her across the border without the soldiers keeping her confined suspecting what's going on. The party's got all right social skills and is pretty good at stealth but they've only got a little smattering of magic aside from one generalist incanter. The others are a ranger, a unchained rogue, and a mageknight.

What are some non-combat based difficulties I can add to make the breakout more exciting if there isn't a combat/chase scene, and any tips for making sure security can't be fucked over by any dickhead quietly approaching a lone guard and casting Charm Person or the like successfully?

According to Vult-sama....

>>52820317
Except he explicitely stated that even though he tried to do that, the boys just ran back to the fight so the dual action didnt occur. Just slow combat with full narration.

>>52820325

Typically 5-6 rounds each, with conversations and NPC interactions in-between.

>>52820137
Depends on number of people, what level you are fighting at, how many characters/monsters are casters vs how many are martials, knowledge of the game, and what medium you are using to play.

My group of six that uses voice chat over roll20 had an especially long combat recently. Only lvl 3, 6 players against 5 entrenched trogs, half of which were casters. Summons were used, beatsticks paralyzed by Hold Person, chokepoints greased to buy time, a dozen turns were spent vomiting from two instances of stinking cloud, and the end result was diplomacy leaving only one trog unconscious (and dead) and no party members severely wounded after 10+ rounds. About an hour, probably. All of the players being new to pathfinder and dnd in general, except me I guess.

>>52820359

Considering the tone of the game and the party realizing they left their women under assault by a bullshit strong enemy, I wouldn't hold that against them.

Why the fuck would they stick around doing their own thing when the women are in trouble, anyway?

Does a sphere of annihilation make a sound when annihilating?

pic related is our first design.

>>52820512
What counts as a standard recovery?

>sheathing as a free action
It gets the bonus feats to be able to do this, but maybe throwing in the ability to qualify for Mixed Combat at level 6 might be okay.

>threatening while sheathed, and being able to draw on AoOs
You don't actually need this because when you can draw and sheath as a free action you simply draw your weapon at the end of your turn, and immediately sheath it before using your mithral current strike.
Weird thematics but mechanically viable.

So is there some kind of online tool for DMs to help keep track of dungeons and encounters and experience and shit? I've seen shitty encounter generators but nothing that helps handle traps, treasure, dungeon layouts, etc. Nothing in the pastebin either.

I don't care if it costs money. I just need some kind of preparation assistant specifically tooled for Pathfinder.

>>52820542
>>52820554
There's too fucking many.

>>52820563
I mean like a non-random recovery that would take actions to use. Idea would be to make mystic a little less clunky and more friendly to online games. Maybe like a "full round action to recover and gain x amount of animus"?

The bonus feats are workable, but it shouldn't need to spend the open bonus feats to use something that it gets by default.

>>52820592

>>52820605
>Maybe like a "full round action to recover and gain x amount of animus"?

Fuck, please no.
Not only are 'spend your turn doing nothing' recovery methods cancer, the mystic is good because its recovery is actionless.
If you wanted to make it non-random I'd just port over a variant of the Bushi's recovery, maybe relying on a different trigger than sheathing. (No, don't make it cost animus)

Is there a character that could even possibly EVEN TOUCH Madara Uchiha? Let alone defeat him. And I’m not talking about Edo Tensei Uchiha Madara. I’m not talking about Gedou Rinne Tensei Uchiha Madara either. Hell, I’m not even talking about Juubi Jinchuuriki Gedou Rinne Tensei Uchiha Madara with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and Rinnegan doujutsus (with the rikodou abilities and being capable of both Amateratsu and Tsukuyomi genjutsu), equipped with his Gunbai, a perfect Susano’o, control of the juubi and Gedou Mazou, with Hashirama Senju’s DNA implanted in him so he has mokuton kekkei genkai and can perform yin yang release ninjutsu while being an expert in kenjutsu and taijutsu.

The baron was already organizing a hunt when Sigmund and Lysander showed up. They stuck around long enough to make sure Rom was breathing and tell the Baron who they were. When they noticed the girls weren't anywhere to be seen, they went with the Baron to hunt the beast.

Also, Sigmund *was* firing at range, he was pestering the DM constantly about distance and tried to get around a -2/-1 penalty since he thing had some substantial AC.

>>52820711

No free action recovery is actually what makes a lot of Path of War classes busted as hell. See Zealot and to a lesser extent Warlord. Being able to constantly hammer the enemy without stopping is an issue, "stop and take a breather" recovery provides some form of non-negligible opportunity cost.

Free action/Swift action recovery is fucking cancer.

Spheres don't move though if nobody's controlling it, and you can just use a Talisman.

Except the main thing unwieldy recovery does is make people rely on maneuvers less and full attacks more, which completely defeats the point of what the system tries to achieve.

Someone using the same pair of strikes over and over is probably less busted for damage than someone full attacking every round.

I don't because SoM is hot garbage and a lot of the effects that you need martial focus for aren't worth a whole turn for.

If your refreshing maneuvers, you're getting several turns worth of stuff back vs 1 attack roll worth of stuff back. That's why it works for initiators.

Which doesn't hold much water, last session Lysander got knocked into the negatives and Gloriana had half her health knocked off. Going back for the girls makes perfect sense when there's a big beastie out on the prowl in the depths of night.

Only me and one other guy got away. I was fucking pissed because the dragon took the other's bodies as well. The entire encounter felt like a bunch of fucking bullshit.

Is there a game that does something like the vigilante that has mechanics to support it?

>>52821045

At level 13 someone ought to have a way to counter invisibility.

A simple area dispel would probably have worked.

>>52821097
Level 13 dragons don't cast teleport and greater invisibility. They have sorcerer CL of like 7. http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/bestiary/dragon.html

Fighting crime and hiding your identity? Magical Burst for the magical girl part of vigilante. Probably some World of Darkness stuff (if you twist the definition of crime) for everything else. I don't know about normal fantasy vigilantism, though.

>>52821097
No, that's literally how a dragon should fight you.

Why are you shocked by dragons being able to use the scry-and-die tactic the entirety of /tg/ claims wizards can do all the time? A dragon is actually capable of doing it WELL.

>>52821161
So either the dragon was higher level or it had invested in magic items?

>>52821161
Maybe it was a dragon with class levels? Which would be pretty bullshit, I guess.

>>52821156
Our wizard was going to cast See Invisibility but died before his turn came up because the dragon first breath weapon'd everyone (the wizard failed the save) then full attacked the wizard.

Could I get some crunch advice?
What are some ideas for a soul stealer?

I've been thinking a lot about immature motivations in powerful baddies, and the inherent strengths and weaknesses of lonely people.

I want to build a particularly young (teenage boy, probably human) character who, at the height of his pubescent horniness (and probably after getting rejected by someone he liked), had a Greater Daemon visit him and parade in front of him a harem of beautiful succubi and erinyes. The Greater Daemon promises(!) they can all be his if he purchases them, but the only currency the lower planes accepts is souls. If he wants them to serve him for eternity he must gather souls of sentient beings and trade them in the Soul Trade, particularly those of the innocent or the good as those are considered a delicacy in the lower planes. The Daemon then offers him some kind of power to get him started.

Thus setting the stage for an evil PC character who's tendencies are motivated more by naive lust than by any particular desire for wanton murderhobo destruction. Though I -would- like this character to still indulge in some murderhobo destruction when the campaign/setting/plot allows it, he's doing it for a specific reason rather than some kind of Kantian 'Evil for Evil's sake' sort of thing. He also has a motivation to adventure for loot and levels because powerful souls are worth more and are generally more challenging to acquire.

He's a teenage edgelord who's entitled, selfish, cocky, and possessive, but fun at parties (because people let their emotional guard down in revelry), fantastic on mandolin (because reasons), a great listener (because he's genuinely interested in what you want and how to manipulate you), generally carries good booze and drugs (see parties).

I want to experiment with the idea of a character that doesn't 'get' close relationships. He feels at home in a 'party' atmosphere because people act more predictably and are more shallow, yet more vulnerable.

>>52821210
>The dragon was CR 17 I think? It was an old red dragon.
Ok, http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/dragons/dragon/chromatic-red/red-dragon-old/ can cast all of that, but not silent. So you had a round with scrying sensor, and a round of gargantuan dragon roaring verbal components for wall of force. That's not exactly 'suddenly'.

>>52821210
Maybe do a lot more research on it before going anywhere near it's territory. A dragon that old and powerful has got to have information about it somewhere.

1: Tactics. You know it breathes fire and can drop in anywhere, and it has the ability to cast scrying spells of some sort. You know who is vulnerable to it's breath weapons and who it wants to attack first. Retrain some feats into teamword feats like Shielded Caster and Bodyguard, because you KNOW it will invariably target your caster. You know how everyone says "oh, heal after combat, don't memories healing spells, don't bother with cures, don't worry about having channel energy?" /tg/ is WRONG. Breath of Life, Cure Critical, and Channel Energy keep things like this from killing half your party in two rounds. You know it can cast wall of force - time to get that Rod of Negation you haven't been saving up for.

2: Resources. Diamonds are now your most valuable resource, right up there with Fire Resistance potions, wands, scrolls and rings. Tower Shields, and the Animate Shield Spellcan help provide cover agaisnt firey breath. DON'T CLUMP TOGETHER. that's how casters with color sdpay win D&D, because enemies group together. Or, if you DO group together, have tower shields. That blindnsense can be a lifesaver since you will be able to detect being scried upon. Your caster is at the level where detect scryiong (24 hour duration) and False Vision are a thing. Illusions (specifically Figments) can falsify information on a scrying sensor. On the plus side, chances are he was scrying the kobolds and not your party specifically.

Know your enemy, and make notes of what he can do and what spells he casts. These are keys to your eventual victory.

Siege weapons are hilariously ineffective and slow to load.

The largest most damaging bombard in the game only does 9d6 damage and takes a total of 9 full round actions to set up. You also need at least 4 men to operate it.

Keep in mind 9d6 damage is only 31 damage

4 level 1 human warriors with a +3 composite longbows with rapid shot do almost double that damage at less than a fraction of the cost.

>>52821437
And those archers can do that every fucking round as opposed to every 9.

>>52821437

>>52821437
Keep in mind with wyrm sniper you can reduce the men needed to operate it to 3 and the full round action load/aims to move actions and the number needed to load by 1.

Which still puts it at 7 move actions and a standard to fire with a crew of 3 for a 9d6 damage hit that can't even benefit from the classes's specialization in siege weapon (can only put firearm training on LIGHT siege weapons). Depending on your level of vital strike you might get to double, triple, or quadruple that if you fire for straight damage though.

Which is still garbage compared to a single bow user. You would have to have some kind of vehicle with multiple siege weapons mounted on it and either loads of undead to crew them or get your DM to let the Skeleton Crew spell crew siege engines instead of boats and have a specialized gunner fire them all back to back as they are loaded. Maybe even a Siege Mage instead, since they get Master Siege Engineer even if they don't get Muitions Master and Skeleton Crew from Wyrm Sniper.

Only advantage siege weapons have is their insane range increment meaning you might get a few shots before they even get to you.

>>52821265
This comfort in revelry and discomfort in intimacy works for his character because he still views most people as just walking sacks of Soul-Money. Or he thinks he does. I'd like to make him possess a tragically unrecognized craving for validation and an obviously fragile ego that feeds his negative self-perception and compels him to seek 'the answer to all of his problems' in the form of 'acquiring power/wealth' and simply buying the validation he needs from a disingenuous evil outsider that everyone (but him) knows will simply kill him and devour him the moment she (or he) gets him alone.

Anyway, fluffy character stuff aside: What's the best/simplest way to go about crunching this character out?

There's a Soul Eater prestige class, but it definitely feels like a spellcaster class and I'd like this character to be more of a martial because they feel (to me) more party-like and boistrous. I've been leaning towards AntiPaladin because they can find those delicious Good and Innocent souls the Daemons love so much. I suppose I've been overlooking Bard as a base class. I can't put my finger on why Bard doesn't feel right, all of the pieces are there, my description of the character's interactive habits seem to lean towards bard, but it still doesn't feel right... let's put a pin in that and keep throwing ideas around.

From the lore, Daemons primarily use Cacodaemons to harvest souls. Cacodaemons are relatively low level, easy to summon, the Soul Eater class gets a pet Cacodaemon at 1st level, I'm pretty sure most GM's would let met take a Cacodaemon as my Antipaladin's Fiendish Boon at 5th level to further my soul-hunt. Basically so long as I can access Cacodaemons I can technically harvest souls.

So I guess my first question is: What are some clever and interesting ways different classes can summon Cacodamons to do their bidding?

2nd Question: What are some off-beat builds for Antipaladin? I was thinking TwoWeaponFighting Sword and Spiked Shield.

With all the unusual apps to Overlewd, I'm surprised that no one applied with an ordinary Japanese student who was summoned to that world with a cheat power.

Let me ask you a question: if you were a giant, hyperintelligent, magical creature would you give the enemy a fair chance to kill you or would you fight like this? Therein lies the answer to your question.

>>52821226
It might be worth it to retool Pathfinder. It would take some work, but ultimmate campaign and intrigue lay a decent enough ground work. It would mostly involve letting players take more feats/skill points and maybe things like social talents, then adding XP for doing social stuff, and maybe re work those subsystems. I mean the verbal duels thing is okay but it really comes down to just a skill roll off, so whoever has the higher points almost always wins.

>>52821736
You do realize you can already get XP for doing social stuff.
