Pathfinder General /pfg/

Amalthea confirmed for TSS

So, /pfg/.

How do we fix the CMB/CMD system?

>>53170207
Amalthea has been submitted to TSS

There's a dickgirl hobgoblin

And a shota elf

Captain Slow has put in a daddy

And I've got a half orc paladin too

What have I gotten myself into

>>53170207
My PC failed his save against Feeblemind once.

>>53170207
So far?
Failed a save against sinspawn ichor. Started screaming about every bit of resentment he'd been keeping bottled up for years.

>>53170207
A good character divulged into torturous murder of somebody they captured for no reason other than to be a little psycopath.

>>53170207
repeating from end of old thread:
Does the psionic feat "Rebounding Throw" work with destroyed-on-hit or dissipate-on-hit weapons such as shuriken, crystal chakram, or panoply blades?

And what happens if it gets used with, say, a splash weapon?

>>53170276
That's not a daddy! That's a trashy romance novel protagonist!

I am still torn on my character's ability score distribution for TTS.

I am planning on playing a Serial Killer Vigilante || Vivisectionist Polymath Alchemist. The three ability score distributions I am thinking of as are followed:
>10/18/14/14/10/14
>8/18/14/14/12/14
>10/16/14/14/14/14

Currently I am leaning towards the first option.

>>53170207
Her googlies are in the wrong place her 'eyes' are down there

I want to apply to something with my lawful good town guard wannabe. Anything that would fit?

So for completions sake and a morbid curiosity of how bad it is does anyone have the new adult content addon to Pact magic?
http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/210008/Loves-Tapestry-A-Book-of-Lost-Souls
Love's Tapestry, says it's got a 'periodic table of spirits' and other additions too.

>>53170254
Is it even broken to begin with?

>>53170383
Yes. Monster CMB/CMD dramatically outscales what is reasonable for a PC to have.

>>53170362

For a /pfg/ campaign? Nope.

You could make a prospective mercenary for Serpent's Skull, though.

>>53170334
did someone ask for a trashy romance novel protagonist?

>>53170337
I would go third option

>>53170371
How many of these additions turn you into a voluptuous furry to demonstrate dominance, though?

>>53170337
second option

>>53170400
Why not a /pfg/ campaign?

>>53170447

Too normal. Not enough anime.

No lewdness.

No memes.

Run away dude, run far away from /pfg/ games.

>>53170447

The only ones recruiting aren't conducive to grumpy town guards. The only one that shows promise is Serpent's Skull, and only because you'd be heading to Eleder to become a guardsman in the first place.

>>53170423
Won't know till we get it, doesn't have a list of spirits so who knows if Anajira is in it?

>>53170371
I mean, should I get it?

>>53170472
>The only one that shows promise is Serpent's Skull
Absolutely not. That's because you only think with your dick.

>>53170399
So just reduce it? Maybe?

>>53170603
Yeah, great, really constructive there. No fucking shit.
The question is "how", not "what".

>>53170572
I'd love ya if you did and tossed it up here for us to laugh and cringe over

>>53169668
Hmm, I thought a demilich was a lich that had like 9 magic stones in his skull. Are PF demilich different?

>>53170633
Alright, lemme see what I can do. I think the DrivethruRPG PDFs don't have hidden info like the Paizo ones.

>>53170651
You are a saint

Thinking about making CG Vigilante, who is a brash country boy who has gloryhound tendencies and an unwavering determination to put every villain he meets in the ground. He's also shy and withdrawn when he's outside of his vigilante persona. In truth, he's an inexperienced idealist who learned how to read by memorizing his city slicker aunt's romance novels.

How should I build on this concept?

>>53170233
>>53170276

>Amalthea used to work at a dating/marriage council service, with a side job in early child care.

No wonder she's baby crazy.

>>53170651
>>53170669
Saint maybe, but I can't do miracles. Turns out that particular book is only available as an actual physical softcover book. Sorry folks, but we're out of luck for now.

>>53170730
Wow.. I did not catch that when I first looked at it.
Why would they do that?

>>53170635
Demiliches have never been like that in any edition - they're called DEMI liches for a reason. They're liches who have lived for so long that most of their bonus have turned to dust until only the skull remains. That's the basic idea, the details vary from edition to edition.

>>53170472
Eh, if you don't mind utterly dodgy mecha mechanics, try out Blood & Iron.

>>53170768
Alright so make a coffin that has time magic added to the inside that speeds up time times a thousand. Stay in for a few days, then bam, got yourself a demilich.

>>53170767
No clue. Can't find the book anywhere else though, which is odd. And the Radiance House website has a bunch of weird bullshit on the front page.

>>53170337
I would go third option. DM has already voiced his distaste to the idea of horses on the boat which means you can't bring a pack animal, that 8 STR might end up fucking you over until you can.

I know my 10 STR concerns me.

Fast study seems completely broken. It pretty much makes wizards spontaneous casters

>>53170887
Not really. You still only get so many casts a day, but it only takes you like 15 minutes if you want to swap them out.

>>53170937
It takes one minute. It takes fifteen to prepare all your spells

>>53170877
>when the halfling is stronger than you
I think this deserves bullying but not from me.

>>53170887
1 minute is too long to do in combat which is the point.

>>53170958
Still though, it's pretty crazy to be able to do that

Why the literal fuck did they add an adjacent squares rider to Stand Still?

>>53170949
Well excuuuuuuse me princess

>>53171430
So that they would feel even mechanics wise to be above most creatures.

>>53171404
So take it on your Wizard, nerd. Exploiter Wizard in case you don't know about this.

>>53171493
When is an Arcanist better than an Exploiter mechanically anyways? Only when archetypes are involved?

>>53171513
Yeah, Arcanist has some unusual archetypes. You might also just like the much more forgiving playstyle despite the progression pain.

>>53170656
Is this for the Platinum Games expansion to Starfinder?

>>53171233
Then consider the fact that those are the greatly improved version of the D20 Future rules.

>>53171454

>>53171531
Arcanist can also become a prepared psychic caster, which wizards cannot

>>53171606
Wow, makes me want to look at how bad those were

>>53171640
I pity anybody who has to associate with you.

I wish there were more good aligned magical beasts and so on. The only major good things in the settings are the outsiders.

>>53171531
>>53171732
They can get Greater Exploits at 11+. They get things in combination with access to Exploits that a wizard can't do, like pick up a Sorcerer bloodline or get a Bonded Object, switch to the Witch spell list (whyyy), or take Wizard school specializations.

Well, there's an elder god cultist in my party, but she's good people.

>>53171909
The witch spell list has some of the nastiest debuffs and save or fucked spells that exist, and 99% of the curses that exist. They're less versatile than wizards, but they're nothing to sneeze at.

>>53171981
Also, healing spells.

>>53171909
Okay folks, I'm having a shitty idea

Half-giant Zweisent OD//Shifter, worshipping Gorum

Take Lycanthropic and Beast Soul. Get yourself Construct Transformation and Size Change along with lingering transformation and Greater Transformation. Take whatever drawbacks make sense for a Gorum worshipper (greatsword as a focus maybe).

Make yourself into a giant walking mecha covered with Gorumite iconography. Take Twisted Transformation later on so you can have a copilot in your body cavity.

Could this idea work?

What's wrong with the trove? I need my .pdfs without my moth-eaten bank-account getting r@ped in exchange for content that I'll need to personally rebalance anyways.

>>53171989
Arcanists can also gain spontaneous Cure conversion like a Cleric using the White Mage archetype if healing is a specifically relevant thing.

They can also get a Black Blade. It's one of their ways of getting a Bonded Object, the other being a Sorcerer bloodline through Blood Arcanist, the Arcane Bloodline, that *may or may not* work by RAW (can I get some opinions on that?). Wizards can't have Exploits and a Bonded Object together, which is relevant if you're trying to be the most spontaneous prepared caster possible.

>>53172181
Thankyou very much, this fixed everything!

In return, I give you 235 virtual currencies and the image of your next Pathfinder Character. May they serve you well.

Got a question for you guys. Why Pathfinder over a different system such as 5e? I'm interested in trying Pathfinder and been reading the player's handbook but Pathfinder sounds really math heavy and crunchy which sounds like it would slow down games a lot. Combat sounds really limited too with most of the martial classes just having to rely on "I attack" most of the time. Am I reading this wrong and there's more to the game? I only bring up the combat cause a few people in my group like to murder hobo while the rest of us are mostly roleplayers.

They didn't give arcanists very unique fluff, did they? You'd never be able to tell it from a wizard in-game, it's only distinguishable at a metagame level.

>>53172232
What are these Lysander logs?

>>53172291
Wizards are nerds, Arcanists are geeks.

Basically you should play a Wizard as an academic, a Sorcerer was a talent, and an Arcanist as a hobbyist.

>>53172291
Pretty sure thats the idea. When you think of studious arcane caster with a spellbook and familiar, you think of wizard. For some reason they gave arcanists this feel that it exactly the same.

>>53172329
Actually, this is a good way to explain it.

>>53172291
Yeah, which is kind of a shame. At least Hunters and Warpriests can be separated from Druid/Rangers and Clerics. And even the Shaman, as boring as it is, has its own unique identity and some interesting new mechanics despite being a 9th-level caster.

>>53172293
Am I the only one who finds it odd at how people still ask who the PLD characters are but XotJR and Dragons are still completely known?

Or do people just refuse to engage with those?

Lysander is the last man standing in Berserk Borne Smut Game, but not a man for much longer

>>53172281
I sent you one on Discord... Even a message on roll20.

>>53172290
Because the very DM I'm talking about is hosting PF, so, PF.

>>53172290
The reason people play pathfinder is because of all the different options, especially in combat. There are actually a bunch of combat maneuver, way more than in 5e.

In my HUMBLE opinion, until they release a path of war for 5e, it is going to be a barebones game especially when compared with pathfinder.

But no, the math is pretty easy in combat if everyone knows their sheets. Just as easy as 5e.

>>53172340
Shaman and Medium are two classes I like because they tickle my versatility boner. Shaman is also the caster I use for my Polytheist/Pantheon-worshipping characters. And I even think the Oracle/Witch hybrid nature of it isn't so bad.

Also, anybody tried the Wendo Caller medium?

>>53172359
why dont you give me your discord and Ill add you? No problem. For some reason I just did not get one.

>>53172358
He's neither man nor standing at this point

>>53172290
I only play Pathfinder over 5e specifically because my DMs run Pathfinder. Your assumptions are more or less correct, but it's worth noting that Pathfinder is a metric fuckton more customizable behind the scenes for the people into it. The 5ft step and full round combat system is pretty annoying though.

>>53172290
Here are my reasons:
>played pathfinder for a long time
>the number of options makes character building rewarding/interesting
>large amount of 3pp to choose from
>large crowd to play for

I like 5e more than Pathfinder in some ways. Particularly removing int based skill ranks as a concept and how they changed spellcasting. The introduction of the Concentration Economy and removing bonus spell slots was a boon to the game. However how they have changed combat maneuvers, the amount of things they simply put 'ask your GM' for, advantage/disadvantage, and more I like less.

If I could I would take bits of Pathfinder, 5e, AD&D, and 3e (along with some 3pp), and staple them together into a Frankenstein's monster edition. I may later this year when I am no longer employed, but not now.

Pretty sure if your previous familiar is leaving you on good company it will commune with the new one and give it your spells.

>>53172290
Because 5E is a shit game that does literally nothing I want out of an RPG and PF is a shit game that has interesting classes every now and then.

Any /pfg/ games that aren't lewd?

>>53172676
Basically all of them. "Lewd" just means "maybe has adult themes at some point"

>>53172567
But why?

>>53172580
Yes. But he's a cuddleslut that would snuggle up to anybody in a bedroll. ANYBODY.

>dual-cursed oracle 1/witch 19
>ratfolk or a human with racial heritage (ratfolk) for witch fcb on slumber
if you can stand giving up a hex and a feat, you can go half-orc, take racial heritage and the scarred witch doctor archetype so you can start with 22 int.
>peace patron
levels 1-4 use ill omen/misfortune revelation + sleep. levels 5+ pretty much the same, but slumber.
use ritual hex for cauldron and healing and eventually their upgraded versions.
around level 10 or 12, pick up spell hex and choose sanctuary (which is why we take the peace patron). this way you get sanctuary 3x/day with a scaling save; with split hex you effectively get 6.

thoughts?

>>53172555
Is it really just once a month? I feel like it's more frequent.

>>53172598

What NPCs does /pfg/ LIKE in the Important NPCs thread? Who are they gonna try and waifu?

>>53172553
As long as the last five character you made weren't some variation of that. And you aren't playing a game with your actual mother at the table.

>>53172716
Makes enough sense to me. Honestly I would either stick with ratfolk or go orc. But that is just me.

>>53172772
I would say Aerys Mavato, but I can't trust Rory to play his own character, let alone a cast of NPCs.

>>53172358
>Am I the only one who finds it odd at how people still ask who the PLD characters are but XotJR and Dragons are still completely known?
Yes. RotJR was a massively popular game throughout its months long application process and for many months thereafter, even after they've stopped giving us updates because of the deluge of shitposting. PLD was a flash in the pan that very few people here actually care about and only a small handful of anons follow anything about it (despite what I can only assume are the best efforts of the players to make their game relevant).

No but considering we're getting a techno-magic setting I quite like the idea of sci-fi looking vehicles. Especially if you can make them living constructs.

So what kind of sub-genre is Starfinder supposed to run? Space opera? Science fantasy? Soft Sci-fi?

So is Starfinder going to cleave into /sfg/ when it releases?

>>53172676
I thought Kobolds Queen and Oil and Blood were n't fully lewd.

>>53172987
Can't wait to be able to play as the ship itself.

>>53172992
Sword and Space fantasy

>>53173003
/pfg/ will stand for Paizofinder general

>>53173003
We had this discussion a while ago and it sounds like the prevailing winds were blowing toward a joint /pfg/-/sfg/ thread.

>>53173003
Likely going to stay the same general. Otherwise the community would be split and we will end up with two seperate dead threads.

>>53172992
They described it as a space opera science fantasy. The way they said it was on a scale with starwars going to star trek with firefly in the middle, they wanted to be on the starwars and firefly side of the spectrum with a bit more fantasy in the open.

>>53173039
>Kobolds Queen
It's Mighty Quest for Epic Loot and no it's not lewd at all from what GM told me.

>>53173003
I don't think it's a good idea, I see Starfinder discussion basically going like this:

>Core releases, even ship-posting is drowned out by Starfinder discussion for awhile, thread maybe splits
>Core discussion is exhausted after a month, the game is already mostly solved and Paizo intends to give it only half as much support as Pathfinder
>Starfinder games start going up in threads, the systems become interchangeable in regards to their impact on posting and it's mostly the same people
>At this point Starfinder content releases so infrequently the general would just be dead other than the circlejerk

Just keep it in one thread so we can talk about books every other month.

So do we know which /pfg/ campaigns are still running?

>>53173003
Not really. It's basically rules expansion content in the same way stuff like Spheres of Power and Unchained optional mechanics are.

It's not like the setting change is enough to cause separation - plenty of people talk about their unusual settings for Pathfinder games in here, including sci-fi ones. It's not Golarion General. That would be cause for suicide.

>>53172772
The reclusive cabin qt is my favorite.

What Starfinder supplements are confirmed to be coming? Paizo's release schedule ends in August with the Starfinder core release.

>>53173216

Well, we're getting a mech supplement, that much we're certain of. Beyond that, couldn't really say.

>>53173235

Kobold is always qt.

If I have a Large race with the total stat adjustments of +4 strength, +2 wisdom, -2 dex, -2 intelligence and I'm planning to be an unchained

>>53173216
I'm willing to bet a bunch of APs will be updated for Starfinder.

Imagine all these Blingmaker quests IN SPESSSSSS

>>53173235
>>53173247
I really hope it'll be possible to backport mech rules, because I'd really like to play an alchemist who builds his own mini-biomech

>>53173235
The way I see it, mechs are probably going to be based on the synthesist.

So and so resource points serving as a not!evolution pool and the mech itself just being a layer of temporary hitpoints with dr.

One day I will play a synth/mechrider gestalt

>>53173145
There's a list floating around somewhere.

>>53172598

>>53173261

>>53173261
Its going to be just like ultima. One day you're walking around varisia looking for some sort of goblin camp then you see a fucking spaceship and the AP gets derailed from there.

>>53172580
Oh, one thing to add on to that. The elf would be in severe denial about being atttracted to women of other races. Surely he'd never stoop so low as to lust after lower beings, right?

>>53173284
Probably didn't read the Player's guide which literally warns that mounts may not be practical in the AP.

I don't mind this because I've never been too interested in the base setting. That said, I realize I will probably have to learn the setting to some degree and run APs for people who don't want or like a homebrew setting. Not to mention I realize being a newbie GM I'll need something to work off of to get my feet wet aside from my Session Zero: The Setting idea I've been working on.

>>53173850
So what's happened in the session so far?

>>53173860
There's a discussion to be had.

What kind of game or setting do people plan to run once Starfinder rules are available?

Personally I'm hoping the system will support Gundam style space romance better than Pathfinder does low fantasy.

>>53173915
Low magic, low tech game taking place in a fishing village on Golarion. The PCs have to find out why the local farmer's cows keep disappearing and turning up dead and mutilated in the outskirts of town days later.

>>53173887

Session Zero setting is a meta setting where everything from the system (including homebrew) exists all at once. It's couched as a sort of extra dimensional theme park so you can test all aspect of your characters without having to commit to an actual story line.

For my own sake, it takes the form of a giant intersteller golem shaped like a whale with multiple ring worlds for ribs roughly the size of the solar system. The golem is sentient but has a group of DMPCs who run the amusement park for it.

>>53173915
There are a lot of settings I'd hope could be done with the rules. I like Xenogears/Saga. I like Outlaw Star, I like Dune, I like Chronicles of Riddick. All of these could be done, I hope, with the rules given.

>>53173897
>>53173905
Alright, alright. Hope you're enjoying your session!

>>53173993
Luckily for you, most of those can be run straight up on the same golarion system. For example, there is a desert world where the sparse few cities became cities because of the mineral wealth of the planet for starship fuel produced by the giant Purple Worms which on this planet can grow many times larger. Then FTL was invented and the bottom fell out on their business because most of the use of the fuel was gone and only a small portion of what once was consumed is still used, the rest is for other purposes. There are desert tribal ratfolk and four armed aliens, and even desert world mummies. (this planet could also be a good john carter of mars style thing)

There is a world that is tidally locked with a huge cityscape dominating the ring of habitable land. One either side of this ring is a mostly inhospitable desert, and the other side a frozen tundra. both sides have their barbarian tribes, and the cold side has a group of monks that are so powerful, their highest ranking monks who lost the most limbs to the cold are sold as starship computers and navigation devices, while the rest are connected into this large commune computer with the rest of the monks. The city itself can be a setting for any number of big city worlds. In most places you can't even see the ground from the top of some of the buildings and the bottom is constantly dark.

There are tons of other worlds already in-game and you can read about them in the distant worlds pdf. You can see the logical jump in time they take. Like the paranoid liches becoming CEOs to megacorps was to be expected given the time they had, etcetc

>>53174589
I agree with Paladin but I think Ranger is the best choice personally since Paladins usually have to commit pretty hard to their chosen playstyle. Maybe Slayer with a decent Int and Student of Philosophy but you're missing out in some nice utility the 4th level casters get.

>>53174646

Can't let you do that starfox...

>>53174634
The quest is still a mystery.

I'm fine with having Magic, divine or arcane, as long as the character is primarily melee. I don't want to be pidgeonholed as a lawful good, however. I just want to be able to react to whatever situation arrives in at least some way, while having a decent amount of damage output/not being a glass cannon.

>>53174712
Spellcasting.
Animal Companion.

>>53174712
The Ranger spell list is pretty solid despite the other issues with their spellcasting, animal companion is a fantastic feature.

Also if you know you're going into a campaign where 90% of enemies are the same type, favored enemy is better than studied target. I'd say Rangers are generally better than Slayers.

>>53174760
Rangers work better in Adventure Paths, but if your GM is doing a home campaign and you don't know what to expect, a Slayer will generally be a better pick- they're not constrained by spellcasting and they can pick the good aspects up of both Ranger and Rogue

>>53174726
Your best bet might be with Monk or Barbarian if you don't like being lawful good. (if its a solo game paladin is the coolest thing though.) Consider the fact that invulnerable rager becomes pretty much immune to a lot of damage because of just how swole he becomes, and the fact he can resist almost all magic effects if you go supernatural. Plus disabling them entirely with spellsunder. You won't match the utility of a monk or paladin but you will just destroy most enemies in one or MAYBE two hits.

Monk though is a different beast. you gain a ton of utility but you fight in a different way. You can gain your own pool of personal healing which is not bad, and you also gain the ability to inflict hard CC. Stunning fist is an invaluable ability and the chance to use it a ton is never to be messed with. You also get dimension door, spell resistance, and can pretty much teleport+grapple enemy spellcasters. (also best saves in the game)

Paladins are played like a combination of them both, but you are more dependant on your armor. You gain a great list of spells, and your smite evil is fantastic against evil, undead, dragons, outsiders. The eviler the better. Your other abilities are top notch. Can you imagine getting feared in a solo game? You get run into a corner and stabbed to death. Not with paladin. They are immune to fear, immune to charm, and also compulsion, so you will never be commanded to kill yourself. Also you can heal yourself as a swift action with your healing hands, and channel energy WHILE getting a good spell list and damaging everyone with your heavy damage smite evil or sword fighting.

>>53174760
Any archetypes you'd recommend for Ranger, or go vanilla?

>>53174725

I just remembered rougarou are a thing now.

Funny.

>>53174726
Ranger can essentially be two players at once in early levels with an animal companion. You get favored enemy, which if you know the general kind of enemy in the campaign its great. They generally are locked into a combat style when you choose one though, so archery, melee, whatever is going to be your beast. What they choose, they great at. Their spell lists are good too, some healing, but not as much as monk or paladin.

Your other choice can surprisingly be wizard or cleric. Both for similar reasons. A wizard can effectively disable a whole level 1 encounter if he can get one or two good spells off. Then, assuming they are weak creatures, he can attempt to kill them while they are incapacitated, or get a summon monster to defend him while he shoots bolts. A cleric does much similar, but with a bit more armor and can heal or damage with channel energies. Both end up great with a follower too, and past level 5, wizards and clerics actually start making an impact on the playing field more than once or twice a day.

>>53174819
Barbarian might fit the bill. I'm not really into Monk, I think. I've played a Brawler before and it felt kind of... wonky? I'm thinking I'll avoid Unarmed types, and I don't think I really want to RP a Monk type anyhow.

Paladin would be great, just a shame about the LG lock.

>>53174930
I've considered Cleric because they're OP. Not interested in Wizard. Ranger is interesting. I think that mention of Slayer earlier really has me interested, however. I'm strongly considering going that way now.

>>53175007
Slayer's a very self-sufficient class with a lot of build variety that you'll almost never fuck up, but do keep in mind that a solo adventure will make it significantly harder to sneak attack.

If you're going Slayer over Ranger, your main advantage is going to be the better progression. You can pick up something in the range of 6~ feats without any significant sacrifices by 12.

>>53175007
Slayer is a pretty easy class in general. They don't however get the same level of safety with spells and powers as paladins do though. With the self-heals and the like. The locking LG probably wont come up too much in a solo adventure since you wont have to argue with your partymembers, and if you choose a fun god, you can usually run with them well enough being fun.

I'll be DMing Curse of the Crimson Throne for a group of fairly new players in a few weeks. Since it's a smaller group (2-3 players at most) they've asked me to put together a character to play through it with them so they don't get overwhelmed before they even fully understand how the game works.

Normally I'm not huge on the idea of playing a dmpc but since they asked I figured I'd throw something together to help guide the group, at least until they know what they're doing.

Any ideas? I'd like to play something low-impact so I'm not taking the spotlight away from any of my players, but I've never had to make a dmpc before so I don't really know where to start.

Are there any spells that make people kill themselves?

>>53175180
What's the group like? Class and characters.

>>53175180
Just make a human fighter.

>>53175038
While it's a solo campaign, I'd be surprised if my GM doesn't add an NPC lackey for me. He seems fond of such things (It'll probably be a waifu of some variety). Can also try to be sneaky in general, so that's a thing.

>>53175136
I'll ponder it, but I think it's a custom lineup of Gods so I'd have to talk to my GM on it.

>Normally I'm not huge on the idea of playing a dmpc but

Hey, here's a neat little secret. There's actually nothing wrong with DMPCs, and they can even be a good thing when done right. The phrase "DMPC" really is nonsense anyway, any NPC could be called a DM's PC if you wanted. DMPCs just get it rough because sometimes- or often- they share/steal some spotlight from the PCs. But that's not necessarily a problem, and you can really get to know an NPC by traveling with and fighting alongside them.

Just avoid A) making them more powerful than the PCs, B) making them nothing but expositional devices, C) making them one dimensional or bland (just like you should avoid doing with any character), D) making them overly antagonistic to the PCs (or on the other hand, making them obedient slaves), E) giving them special plot armor, and F) killing them off or making them turn traitor before the party has become attached to them.

>>53175312
Important addendum:
It's critical not to make ALL of them either die or turn traitor. I've had GMs where if an NPC is named, they're going to stab us in the back if they're not enemies from the very start.

Those GMs usually end up coming on messageboards like this one and bitching and whining that their party is nothing but murderhobos once they finally learn the lesson and just scan (detect evil, etc), smite (or gun down) and loot the characters so they can get on with the plot.

"DMPC" is mostly used as shorthard for "Mary sue that the GM uses to force his players into watching his anime powerwank". That being said I second your points. Nothing wrong with having an NPC accompany the party if the GM isn't stupid about it.

>>53175445
Perhaps the greates DMPC I've ever seen given to a party was this small glowing, floating orb that contained the soul of a holy man that ran afoul with a lich. He was pleasant, godly and extremely good with handing out healing, but was utterly incapable of either talking to NPCs or fighting due to the obvious, instead giving the party advice and wisdom.

The poor little guy burned out after doing a mass resurrection to save the party from a TPK.

It's an Extraordinary Save-or-Die effect, and mind you, it also has a pretty goddamn potent scaling DC- that being the whole 10+1/2 your Slayer level + Int Mod + YOUR STUDIED TARGET BONUS.

Plus, on a failure, you can just deal normal sneak attack damage. The instant-death is just a nice rider effect that makes you a VERY killy opponent.

>>53175546
Just because its broken?

>>53175516
Ninja feels like it does it better just because of how the DCs are placed.

>>53175583
So Slayer is an Int based class?

>>53175598
That's the beautiful thing about Slayer; Intelligence is nice, but it's not needed at all to make the class function; Assassinate is OPTIONAL, you can choose it or something like Woodland Stride or Improved Evasion.

So looking through bestiary 6 got me thinking, does someone have a list of monsters that were published twice? A few of the deamons at least were published once in the book of the damned, and once here, and I'm trying to get a read on the differences so far.

>>53175516
Assassinate has a great DC but it requires a study as a standard action meaning it takes up two turns of your primary action economy.

Fun thing you can do with it though is take the free* sniper archetype and giggle if your group ever decides they'd rather skip an encounter than contribute.

>>53175598
Yeah, it always has been.

The attack is clearly meant for honest assassinations, like a guy who somehow managed to sneak up to a dragon unawares, or stab a politician.

How? You're instantly achieving your goal at the time. Why would those two turns matter if it saves everyone from having to use all the other turns they would have otherwise?

And in group encounters, instantly being able to take out at least one enemy is still great and probably a significant advantage.

The best kind.

>>53175829
Sorry, I've leaked enough. But I'm sure you can imagine what happens when handsome crusaders get some downtime. And if you have to ask about whether THAT happened, the answer is yes.

>>53175837
Thicc dragon queen orders children and hanger-ons to go forth and conquer the world in her name. Dragons Alpha is dealing with Avistan, Dragons Beta is concerned with Garund.

>>53175830
Fiendbound Marauder's just a tiny bit edgier.

>>53175840
Because if you're halfway pulling your weight, you should be removing a threat or contributing to the good of the party by the end of your first turn.
Three turns per monster, in a way that ignores everybody else's contributions, is only effective when you can 1v1 something or you're facing sir willnotdie the CR your level +7.

>>53175853
But anon, handsome crusaders don't exist.

Only lesbians.

>>53175830
I wanna do a Stygian Slayer//Harbinger Gestalt for shits and giggles, though for pure edginess I wanna say Dark Elementalist is PRETTY FUCKING METAL

>>53175868
You sure that Edge Lord harbinger isn't the edgiest?

>>53175837
I'm just glad they're having fun--I'd have liked to see Ulfric get in, but it's good to hear it's turning out just well.

>>53175860
Alpha is the primarily INT based team and Beta is the primarily CHA based team, incidentally. It shows sometimes.

Inna nutshell.

>The party lives and works in The Demesne. An extra planar world run by The Dragon Queen Lua Culdranth
>Every veriaty of dragon is here, most of them are The Queen's Mutant children.
>After 1000 years of her being a lazy hedonist.. she gets it in her mind that she wants to take over the world.
> Are you a bad enough dude to help your Queen take over the world?

Dragon Game one method: Politcal intrigue in Taldor.

Dragon Game two method: Start a Circus and go on tour with Jessica Rabbit's jazz band as the Headliner.

>>53175876
But what if one of those lesbians is a man?

>>53175807
What materials are on the table? If Dreamscar is a go maybe go with a Vitalist. They make good medics / support and it'll let the Cleric branch out to more then just a healbot

>>53175775
>A Perfect Machine
My mind can't even contemplate that. Feels like a quest in itself.

>>53175893
Boys can't love girls, and girls can't love boys! That's forbidden love!

>>53175871
How are you halfway pulling your weight? Who else is killing shit on round two or even just the surprise round?

>>53175880
Okay, well I'd be lying if that wasn't the top one. But if we discount April Fool's jokes, hard to top what I mentioned.

>>53175895
I was hoping to keep it limited to first party stuff for now since they're so new to the game, but I'll check it out.

>>53175905
I know! That's what makes it fun!

>>53175761
I talked about him waay back when I started this game like 3 months ago. He was a pretty good player.

>>53175924
I mean give us the summary of what his character did, did DHB earn his happy ending?

>>53175904
Interestingly enough, a robot monk with the vow of poverty feat from 3.5 would mesh very well with the type of feel I am trying to go through. And interestingly, might fit with what we know of starfinder's combat so far.

>>loose robe wearing robot monk begging for alms in the form of spare credit chits to recharge his battery cells

>>53175958
He sure earned his ending.

So, no news on RoRK?

I think you'll have to ask Exhack. They're running that game, right?

You know, that would make a good solo campaign and an in-game TV show

>Robot Monk: The Series!
>Every episode starts with a shot showing the location the Monk is today, usually helping someone with something simple, like an old lady to cross the street
>The episode begins properly when someone puts some change in his container, it's different every episode
>Things spiral and the Monk helps out the NPC person in some big way
>Roll credits

Now I know what I will run for my inevitable solo quests

>>53175913
I'd argue that a Crimson Countess or Raven Lord harbinger tops a Fiendbound Marauder warder, but damned if they're not close.
My personal vote goes to Raven Lord, just for the reason of "BIRD MADE OF SADNESS, SOMETIMES KILLS PEOPLE WHILE YOU'RE ASLEEP".

>>53176058
Bonus points if said Harbinger had a cloak lined with raven feathers that blows menacingly in the wind during monologues.

>>53176005
He was supposed to be captured nonlethally, the rest of the party was giving the boys some space to get the guy, and the will saves weren't actually magical or anything, he was just really hot.

Hey, it worked. And everyone except him wound up satisfied with how turned out.

>>53176058
>Not playing Ravenlord as a cute PC who tried to fracture all the evil in their soul away from themself, making the raven an evil being that tries to tease and tempt them back to their old ways but is ultimately on a leash and must follow their orders

>>53176035
Pastebin coming soon, but I tended to not include individual player details.

He helped kill The Empress, but wasn't satisfied, as he didn't believe she was the one tormenting him and wasn't the one who killed his brother. He dragged around the dead bodies of The Empress and another dead mythic character in vain hopes of saving the dying world. He eventually withered into nothing as he wandered.

>>53176126
I don't think we should go for cute. Cute is never useful in a game.

If you really believe that then I don't think you've ever pulled cute off successfully enough to reap its sweet benefits.

>>53176126
I mean, you can fluff things how you want and it'll change the edge factor.

My last harbinger was an Omen Rider who acted as a messenger of hope in the darkness. He'd seek out the most lost causes, and throw himself in full speed to salvage anything he could and do good where none existed.
My current harbinger defines herself entirely by what she is able to kill and destroy, is only happy when she's just killed somebody, and every named individual in her backstory is either "She killed this person" or "She tried and failed to kill this person, but would try again if she met them again".

So, Slayer

Dual Wield shields?
Shield and Sword? via TWF or Sword and Board Ranger for fast shield feats?
Pure TWF? STR or Dex?

>>53176162
Well, you might be right. But I'm not willing to risk my chances of getting into a game by choosing cute.

>>53175659

Kay, WotR GM here.

Going to skip over a bit of the first few sessions. Also we're down to four players due to some drops, but otherwise things went well.

Party is now:
>Francisca: Dragon Avowed + Draconic Avenger who has a cool pet drake named Smokkrol and occasionally novas with sort-of-dragon breath and axe attacks. Literal loot radar.
>Evelyn: Wizard + Secret Broker Occultist + Aegis + Empiricist Investigator who combines magic with pretty much the sum total of the party's skill needs and being able to GO FAST.
>Morgase: Body-Pact Avowed + Striker who provides a healthy portion of ultraviolence.
>Corvus: Cleric + Fighter (Myrmidon) who in addition to being an incredible healer/support also deals a shitload of damage in melee.

Session 1
>awkward introductions, some scanning around for clues as to the environment
>and realizations of what's happened
>find a middle-aged nobleman, a roguish woman and a blind elf wizard among the bodies
>Corvus uses a wand of Cure Light Wounds from Evelyn on the elf and the rogue
>the elf is Aravashnial, but won't say more
>the woman is Anevia, and is very grateful for the help
>the man is Horgus, and he's healthy but Francisca suggests they fuss over him so he feels reassured
>fight maggots hiding inside of giant spider corpses
>Francisca hangs back and protects, Morgase, Corvus and Evelyn pretty much explode them
>explore caves, find loot and also remains of bodies that fell down the rifts in the ground
>find Mongrelmen campsite concealed and trapped, resupply and get some torches
>rest a while, Morgase makes some kind of stew out of random dried meat and things she found in the campsite

Does having an int of 20 mean I have Tony stark levels of intelligence?

>>53176056
I would do something like that. Solo games always interested me but I am foreverGM

>>53176020
Now that is cool. I always liked Ki abilities with machines because its usually considered a living creature thing, but it flows through all objects.

>>53176174
Dual wield shields if you can convince your DM to let the bonuses stack. get shield master feat and you are set

>>53176191
You mean RotRK?

If you're down to four, word up thread is that DHB has a free slot on Wednesday now.

>>53176192
It means you have baby dragon level intelligence.
