Pathfinder General /pfg/

When Starfinder's prerelease book comes out soon, should /pfg/ split into /pfg/ and /sfg/ or stick together as one general? What do you guys think?

Old Thread: >>53067654

>>53074059
It was already discussed on a few threads. While some would prefer seperate threads, the majority would prefer them to stand under the pathfinder general. Mostly because otherwise the community would be too spread out, and end up with two dead generals. Along with them being related enough that they are essentially the same game anyways.

I have been trying to run a Spheres of Might playtest game.

It has been fraught with many delays from scheduling concerns and the playtest documents rapidly changing on us. We hosted our first session last Friday, even though there was no combat, and we are slated to continue on the 12th and every Friday thereafter weekly.

The idea was to gather as much playtest data as possible so as to assist the Spheres of Might developers.

However, we are faced with a major impasse. The Spheres of Might developers in the forums have announced that the martial focus mechanic will be discarded entirely, which is a titanic change that upheaves the entirety of Spheres of Might, since the current metagame of spheremighters revolves around rapidly expending and regaining martial focus.

A less ground-shaking, though still significant, change they have announced is a rewrite of the sphere-specific drawbacks mechanic. Since many optimized builds are grounded in the use and abuse of such drawbacks, this will force a rewrite of most characters who were employing drawbacks.

We do not know how long it will take for the Spheres of Might writers to make public the total overhaul of the martial focus mechanic and the sphere-specific drawbacks.

This is problematic for my playtest, because it means that all of my group's playtest data will be completely irrelevant if it still uses martial focus and sphere-specific drawbacks in their current state.

What should we do? Should we simply carry on and play regardless, even if it means our playtest data is worthless? Should we place the game on hold until the Spheres of Might developers undertake the arduous task of rewriting both martial focus and sphere-specific drawbacks?

PFG, tell me about the game that got away.

The campaign you were so pumped for, but which died because the GM flaked or the players were assholes, or the party just didn't come together.
>>
>>53074638
A eldritch horror/conspiracy game taking place in a low-fantasy city comparable to 1600s London. Everyone liked their characters, and meshed together pretty well; but the GM called off the session at the last second for three weeks, then just disappeared for another three with no excuse.

Made me super sad.

The GM was a super cool guy too, he scattered codes and puzzles throughout the sessions for us to decrypt during downtime, which linked us to videos he'd made that hid pieces of lore trivia, and spoilers for the next sessions. It was basically perfect, then... nothing, it all went up in smoke.

Summary of PLD today:
>"Vult has no time for comfy: turns out while Cashmere was RPing getting out of the bath, getting dressed, and making sure Lysander and Bonbon don't peek, the Tome Awakening happened off screen and now the whole mansion is swallowed in darkness and they have to fight their way out without knowing what's going on"

Cashmere figured out Sigmund got murdered though so that's a plus.
Gloriana still wrapped in bondage with a dog somewhere. (IKiD couldn't make the session)
>>
>>53074747
But where's the new kid?
>>
>>53074638
A "comfy" game where we were courtiers for a minor noble house.

That's in quotes because the first session, and about half of the second session was comfy, but the rest was body horror, despair, and eldritch madness. My vigilante had to hold down another PC while she watched her twin brother (yet another PC) ripped apart by wild dogs. If I had let her go, she would have revealed our position and gotten everyone else killed.

It was brutal and creepy in the best possible way. Buuuut the rest of the players threw a bitch fit, and the GM bailed.

>>53074747

Garbage

The mix.

I built a character for a comfy game, so suddenly needing to deal with eldritch rituals, Cronenburgesque abominations, and infectious glass really pulled me out of my comfort zone and forced me to adapt. The GM said he was a huge Dark Heresy and CoC fan and it fucking showed. The horror was pitch perfect.

If people are still complain, do all that right before game time. It's pretty simple.

Playing a necromancer all about efficiency that eventually wants to become undead, for reasons both obvious and otherwise.

In the mean time, what's the best way for a human sorcerer to ignore or reduce sleep so they have more time to study? How early can I totally ignore it? All I can think of is Ring of Sustenance or become undead, the first doesn't do it completely and I'm not sure how to do the latter yet.

I can't really give 'em a pass, being a player, and I don't think they even want one. They've rolled a new character that they seem to like better.

The problem is, my character feels like they were damned on a technicality, and ultimately wanted to be a good person but didn't get a chance to redeem themselves. And I don't think my character can move past that.

They've got a template that works off the physical effects of having horse-sized dicks jammed in you.

The mental is a bit harder to work out, but every time one of these girls has gotten boned, the corruption mindbreaks them before the dick does.

Lashunta are now two subspecies, no longer divided between male and female but by whether they choose tp grow into leaders or warriors.

Elves are now even more insular, aloof and dickish than before.

Fuck you, Paizo. Fuck you in your hairy, stinking asses. The sexual dimorphism wasn't "problematic," it was fun.

>>53077112
No, now they choose to grow up into being more like dwarves or more like elves, either kind can be male or female, so there are thicc-strong psychic girls with antennae now. Also tall prettyboys.

Mark my words, Hellknights and the White Chelish Empire are going to be a mixture of bumbling bureaucracy, rigid dogmatism and vaguely racist ideals.

They'll be presented as effective, efficient, lawful and utterly boring. The death of freedom for a little comfort. They won't be the heroes, they won't even be the good guys. They'll just be like, Mom and Dad to your stereotypical California teen from the 90s; annoying, obnoxious and you hate them, but they still pay the bills and keep the creepy men away.

>Wis 8 INT 10 Merfolk Barbarian, likes to grapple and beat the shit out of things
>lewdHell's Vengeance, just cleared out the sheriff's station.
>Stocks are out the front
>One of the tieflings convinces to go into stockings, says it'd be 'fun'
>Why not
>get locked in... Tiefling walks away
>People start gathering around
>Small child goes to throw rotten apple
>Escape Artist check
>Natural 20
>Break out of bonds. That is, literally tear it in half accidentally
>Tiefling chastises for breaking out of stocks.
>Had been telling party how silly was for breaking stocks after locking self in

For the rest of the game I was bullied relentlessly
it was good. God, I miss it so much. We got up to the part where (Mild book 1 HV spoiler:) the Duke appoints us as sheriffs/whatever they were called but then the GM just quit on us and flaked out every session onwards.

This... This character seems familiar. Was this a game that recruited from here? We had a Merfolk girl that sounds an awful lot like yours apply and got in.

Would you say she's... spunky?

Really, though, yeah. I joined HV from a /pfg/ thread. Small world, hi!

Does rogue deny bonus to AC from Dex if he's attacked from stealth? (Not invisibility)
>>
>acid attack SLA
>reduces Natural Armor by 1 per 2 levels for 1 turn
How powerful is this? Assume its modifying an Aether Pulse
>>
>>53078078
Not normally.
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/combat/#TOC-Combat-Modifiers
A concealed individual simply is untargetable until they make an attack roll or break stealth.

Rank 15 skill unlock for stealth will allow for no Dex to AC.

However, a rogue attacking an unaware target in the surprise round and before his first turn in initiative will deny Dex bonus to AC. If a rogue approaches an enemy in stealth and attacks, if this is the start of combat, he will deny dex to AC.

>>53078204
Oh, that's not what I mean, sorry, my bad.
I wanted to ask - does rogue with uncanny dodge lost his bonus from Dex to AC if he's attacked from Stealth? And if he blinded?

>>
>>53078350
Well it wasn't meant to be game breaking
>>
>>53078309
As >>53078204 points out, being attacked from stealth doesn't deny anybody Dex to AC. A blinded character is normally denied Dex to AC, but wouldn't if he has uncanny dodge.
>>

There is, but it's a CR 16, NE plant that just wants to eat you.

It's not this type.

That's fine. What's it called?

>>53078416
Yes.

>>53078424
But it could be fluffed to be a cute girl plant that wants to eat you, correct?
>>
>>53078309
"Uncanny dodge":
>Starting at 4th level, a rogue can react to danger before her senses would normally allow her to do so. She cannot be caught flat-footed, nor does she lose her Dex bonus to AC if the attacker is invisible. She still loses her Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. A rogue with this ability can still lose her Dexterity bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses the feint action (see Combat) against her.

>Does a rogue lose dex if caught unaware (flat footed) in the surprise round?
No. A rogue cannot be caught flat footed, therefore does not lose dex to AC.

>Does a rogue lose dex if blinded?
RAW: Yes. Uncanny dodge only applies when the attacker is invisible, not when the defender is blind. However your GM may choose to houserule this that uncanny dodge applies and you do not lose dex to dodge if blinded.
>>
>>53078360

The Alraune is an actual monster in Pathfinder, her smell is far sweeter than her attitude.

If you wanted to play a cute plant girl or even flower girl, check out the Ghoran. If you want a cute plant girl that won't eat you like the Alraune, refluff a Dryad.
>>
>>53078384

>Martiarchal city-states that only fight generic bug monsters
>>
>>53078537
I actually wanted it as a mid boss in a dungeon crawl.
>>
>>53078479

>But it could be fluffed to be a cute girl plant that wants to eat you, correct

That's the standard Alraune. As in the bestiary monster.
>>
>>53078402
>>53078204
>stealth doesn't deny anybody Dex to AC
So, if I snipe an attack in midcombat from Stealth I don't deny foe's Dex bonus? What's makes no sence.
>>53078496
Thanks for blindness explanation.
>No. A rogue cannot be caught flat footed, therefore does not lose dex to AC.
But if rogue not flat-footed? As I said - if I attack from Stealth in the mid of combat?
>>
>>53078537
To be fair Lilyalraunes are definitely Neutral Evil by Pathfinder, since their whole shtick is brainwashing you with their nectar and keeping you there until you die.
>>
>>53078578
>So, if I snipe an attack in midcombat from Stealth I don't deny foe's Dex bonus? What's makes no sence.
Welcome to the stupidity that is Stealth in Pathfinder. Unless you have 15 ranks in Stealth and are using the skill unlock system, you cannot deny an opponent their Dex to AC with an attack from Stealth.

>>53078384

That's so progressive! Oh gosh you guys, I can't wait to play in this setting. Does it have Gems, too?

Quick question:

Is a tiefling samurai a viable race/class combination?

Points buy, quite generous allocation at 35 points.

I don't need to be the best, just not useless.
>>
>>53078719
Samurai is pretty bad, TBQH fampai.
>>
>>53078739
Oh, OK.

So what is preferable alternative, but similar class?
Fighter or Cavalier?
>>
>>53078753
Bushi Warder
>>
>>53078773
What sourcebook is that from?
>>
>>53078782
Path of War.

It's by Dream Scarred Press, A Third Party Publisher
>>
>>53078753

Why not a Paladin?
>>
>>53078719
Samurai is basically Cavalier that trades away most of the mount-related abilities. It's not very good, but it is certainly viable unless you're playing a high-op game.
>>

>>
>>53078719
>>53078753
What content is available to you? All paizo? Anything in the d20pfsrd? Any 3pp?

Of the cuff for 1pp, Slayer is superior if you just want to hit dudes and be a decent martial. Fighter is pretty good but requires you to knock what you're doing to get the most out of AWT/AAT feats. If you want to make use of the crazy PB to be a nutty day moving martial, then Unchained Monk can actually cover you very well, since Ascetic Style can let you be a weapon user for the 1.5x Str and Power Attack.

Last week (shortly before Overlewd applications closed) Vult was in the discord crowing about how Overlewd was a riding his coattails and was a "pale imitation of the original". He even went so far as to admit that his application was submitted to be a Diamond Dog and that he had convinced three or four other applicants to join him in his quest to disrupt the game.
>>
>>53078991
Rule Britannia, Britannia rule space time.

>>53078974
First, ask your GM if he's OK with you buying wands with less than 50 charges. You very rarely need 50 castings of the same spell yet don't want to be just preparing it.

I'd also suggest bracers of armor unless you'll be spending your spell slots on that, a cloak of resistance, some sort of +speed item.
Oh, and ask your GM if you can get a -2 adamantine sword for cheap. That's always hilarious.
>>
>>53078791
>>53078800
Third party might not be so popular with my GM.
I'll have to ask him.

>>53078792
I'm considering playing Lawful Neutral.
You know, trained to be very lawful, but in conflict with a chaoctically inclined tiefling nature.

Yeah, I know, cheap drama points but hey.

>>53078826
Starting level 3.
1PP preferable.

I'm somewhat familiar with the system but far from knowledgeable enough to do any Min/Max-stuff.

It's fairly sandbox, knowing my friends, we'll be looking at a lot of high-charisma diplomacy-heavy characters, such as bard, rogue and sorcerors.

Not bound hard to the idea, but I recently re- watched 7 Samurai and I love the the palanquin-scene from Sword of Doom.
>>
>>53078996
All he actually said was that PLD primed the pump, referring to how many apps he got. Then there was a discussion on methids of picking people.

Tuv got btfo, not Sleep
>>
>>53078996
Don't forget the time Vult went on a rant, seemingly out of nowhere, about how Rubio was a pre-cuck character that couldn't even drum up the courage to get with the easiest woman in Sandpoint. He wasn't talking about Shayliss.
>>
>>53079069
Was he talking about Saboten?
>>
>>53078915
Yeah, isn't that the whole point of RPGs and Starfinder?

What were you expecting?

Espionage? Because there are two or three classes who should be able to do that well.

40K SPESS Marines? There's a big Lizard race to put in Power Armor and Hellknights are around.

3.5 question but w/e

Do 3rd books work with 3.5 or do they need to be converted? Books like Deities and Demigods didn't get a 3.5 version, I presume that's because there was no need, is that correct?
>>

>>
>>53079288
I was a juror in a trial that was like that, where the defense didn't really present any evidence or do anything, scumbag lawyer didn't even cross examine anyone.

>>
>>53079288
The prosecution is the anon claiming Vult is shittalking people. The defense is demanding evidence
>>
>>53079305
Don't bother with Perception unless you've got it as a class skill.

>>53079313
The Defense only needs to present evidence and attack the Prosecution when the Prosecution actually has ammunition to fire at the defendant. Hearsay is a huge no-no in a court of law and what that anon was doing is essentially that, "I heard X say Y, I don't have a record of it, but that happened."
>>
>>53079354
There are plenty of traits that make perception a class skill, anon.
>>
>>53079305
Depends on the kind of campaign you're playing in. If the GM likes dropping ambushes on you, I would say it's pretty vital. If the only thing you need to worry about is finding things like traps and secret doors, then it should be enough for one person in the party to max it.
>>
>>53079305
Perception is easily the most rolled skill in the game, so having max ranks and traiting it into a class skill is never a BAD idea. That said, if you have more than 3 people with good perception and you don't think you'll ever be alone you could probably get away with not caring too much about it.
>>
I'm pretty sure that 100% of the Vult haters are from the discord or at least lurk it.

Can someone explain to me what exactly is wrong with Spheres of Might as it is now?
Seems the general consensus is that the playtest went from "promising" to "trash" and I'm wondering what exactly happened. Skimming the docs, it looks alright, if unpolished. I assume the system is full of easy-to-abuse mechanics?

Was the lawyer a public defender? They do it for free.

I knew a public defender in high school, actually. He was one of several attorneys that helped us in Mock Trial, and the only one that was a public defender.

He was childish, played video games and drank like a fish - as he would say it, being a public defender is one of the least respected and most depressing legal professions you can get into.

Spelljammer stuff. The elves were basically your standard haughty officious space empire, your space-Spain or space-Britain.

They had developed a bunch of spooky biotech like giant Dunbine-style mechs based on different species of insect. And they had symbiotic Guyver units. Both of which I've been eager to port over to Pathfinder.

Blame the players who keep wanting to leak logs.
>>
>>53080505
It seems like it works, though. I mean I don't go to the discord or play in meme games, so I don't think I've ever really interacted with Vult directly, but the dude just sounds like a total douche.
>>
>>53080602
It's shameful that LOGS became such a meme. Was it really that long ago that we were blowing up over somebody leaking logs? Have we become this desperate?
>>
>>53080436
Honestly Im surprised no one's making bets on overlewd picks yet.
>>
>>53080602
Nobody wants that, that's just Vult samefagging. It's sad how obvious he is about it.
>>
>>53079069
>>53079109
Is there actually a screencap of this? Or anything he's said? Because I actually have checked the Discord, and didn't turn up anything.

its mostly Vult samefagging and trying to drum up hype for his garbage ERP

That was only because Voip didnt consent

>but looking at investigator talents made me realize how retarded the Divination sphere is.
Retarded as in good or bad?
>>
>>53080592

You feel it too, do you? The hype for a haughty expansionist race of pointy-eared space racists. I've got a feeling that Paizo will fuck them up, but then again what haven't they fucked up?
>>
>>53080657
You realize samefagging means he's replying to himself, right?
>>
>>53080667
Mixed bag. Senses are all super cool for the most part, but the Detect Magic stand-in is stupid bullshit.
>>
>>53080694
yes
>>
>>53080489
The overuse of "stupidly enormous" isn't about memes, it's about feeling smug and superior. It's used as a watchword to stand in place of "we're really great ERPers, not like that amateur Rory". It's part of this weird inflated sense of self-importance Vult has and has been trying to cultivate in his players. Probably stems from a massive inferiority complex about the fact that people cared so much about RotJR that the players had to basically abandon thread.
>>
>>53080724
His ERP is bad though.

Okay, was wondering if you were BOTH a retarded witchhunter and a newfag

Bestial? That one's been growing on me lately.

>>53080758
You are a Jackass, but the Rorylogs are much better than Vult's lazy ERP rape.
>>
>>53080758
Fuck off!
>>
>>53080758
In all honesty, the saddest part of all of this is that the RotJR crew did a better job with a joke than anything we've seen out of Rory or Vult.
>>
>>53080775
They're equivalent at best
>>
>>53080806
Really? You think "Onyo is raep" is better than this?

Yes. Some people don't like the opening, but I think it gives a huge feeling of achievement when you finish it. Its pretty great.
>>
>>53080931
It's okay. The opening relies on your ability to roleplay NPCs and your players' desire to roleplay with NPCs, because its mechanical aspects are fucked.

I prefer replacing part 2 with Plunder & Peril, because it's more of an adventure and less "grind ship battles and slave-raids for XP until I let you progress the plot."
>>
>>53080931
Eh I'd prefer Kingmaker.

The biggest issue with Spheres of Might is the lack of NON-COMBAT utility talents. As it is right now, if you want out of combat utility, you are kind of forced into playing a scholar or a technician (and even then, you are almost always better off playing a spherecaster).

I personally dont have an issue with the combat aspects of the SoM system, but without utility, you aren't really raising the tier of martials.
>>
How loud does a verbal spell component need to be?

Can you whisper it?
>>
>>53081070
What are you talking about? Spheres of Might has tons of noncombat talents.

Go look at, like, Athletics and Scout.
>>
>>53081169
clearly audible volume
like if you were talking to someone outdoors
>>
Rule clarification, so that part about +2 damage while using Broken Blade and while using discipline weapons, is there a ruling on whether the +2 damage applies to every attack you make or is it only when you are using Broken Blade manuevers
>>
>>53081179
>>53081070
Wait, so, what's the problem, then?
>>
>>53081192
Only with BB maneuvers.
Maybe with BB stances if your GM is a sucker.
Certainly not otherwise.
>>
>>53081191
Doesn't this make spells like ghost sound (and other illusion spells) pretty much useless?

Consider virtually every half-caster in the game, whose noncombat spells are high-impact enough (e.g. detect magic, disguise self, invisibility, suggestion) that people are actually enticed to select such spells alongside more combat-oriented spells.

In contrast, Spheres of Might makes the noncombat talents low-impact, so you wind up with this scenario:

Fencing:
>Master of Misdirection: You gain ranks in Bluff equal to your Hit Dice. Whenever you gain a Hit Die (such as when gaining a level), you gain a rank in this skill. If you possess ranks in Bluff already, you may immediately retrain them at no cost.
>Read Foe: You have learned to read the subtle cues of your enemy. You gain ranks in the Sense Motive skill equal to your Hit Dice. Whenever you gain a Hit Die (such as when gaining a level), you gain a rank in this skill. If you possess ranks in Sense Motive already, you may immediately retrain them at no cost.
"More skill ranks? Meh."

Boxing:
>While outside of combat, whenever a creature makes a Bluff check against you while speaking, you can make a Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, or Sense Motive check opposed by their Bluff check; upon making a successful opposed check, you can force them to either tell the truth (as far as they know) about the subject or take a -5 on Charisma-based skill and ability checks (this includes Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate, even if the target uses an alternate ability score to determine their bonuses with these skills) against everyone who listened to them speak for 1 day.
"Very cool! But my class is [armiger/blacksmith/conscript/striker], and my mental ability scores are not that high..."

Equipment, legendary:
>Oversized Weapons: You may wield weapons sized for creatures 1 size larger than yourself with no penalty, may treat two handed weapons of your normal size as one-handed weapons, and may treat one-handed weapons of your normal size as light weapons.
"Now this is what I will take for 3d6 damage two-handers!"
>>
>>53080691
Well it looks like starfinder elves are more isolationist than expansionist, but as far as being racist goes they refer to those who consort with other races as the Forsaken.
>>
What are some fun things I can do with 600 starting gold at 1st level?

masterwork armor, a tough-ass horse or some cheap magic items like potions and scrolls, or personal crafting.

>>53081212
While utility talents do exist, a number of them require investment in spheres that conflicts with their build choice.

For Example: Why would I invest in the Boxing or Fencing spheres if I am an Archer?

Compare this to say the Divination sphere in SoP, and it is more obvious why someone might dip into the sphere, even while focused in something else.

I'm looking to make a LE Hell Knight as one of the main villains for some new players, how would you recommend building him? The players are a gunslinger aiming at sniping, a paladin acting as the muscle/tank, and a bard focused on fencing.

My ideal level for him is 12th, would it be better to take caster levels and go Enforcer or keep him martial as a Commander?

this guy here has the right idea, starting with a wand with a good chunk of charges will likely save lives

Bad time to ask since we're about to jump ship, but have you run any games in the past? And how familiar are you with PF's rules?

I've been playing pfs for a couple months, I probably ask again on the next thread.

Keep notes, don't let the players push you into anything you're not keen on, and the trove has a whole bunch of modules you can use or study to help get a sense of how your own adventure will work.

>>53081728
A
>Being lavished with praise for heroic actions, told by his crush that she likes him

B

Well, learn how to use the SRD to quickly search up weird fringe rules, or at least be confident enough in your knowledge of the system to make shit up on the fly. Because if there's one thing that's a goddamn constant, it's that players ALWAYS find the weird gap where the rules don't cover exactly what's going on.
