EhnJolly said about 2 hours ago
I am reading over these suggestions, and something I want to note here is that so many of these are a radical overhaul to the system that we couldn't implement these in a reasonable amount of time. We only have so much time to work on this, and massive system wide changes like this are going to change so much about the mechanics as to delay things much more than we'd like. At this point, we're hoping to try and implement smaller changes to fix existing issues such as focus cycling, although with the amount of strong swift actions we have, we'd like to think that choosing to regain focus or keeping one's swift action is still a difficult choice in and of itself.

MichaelSayre said 4 minutes ago
We don't really agree that there's any fundamental flaw in focus, just some issues with the current way things interact that we're working on fixing. A complete rewrite of the book simply isn't going to happen, both because we don't agree that such is necessary, and because we don't have the time or money to throw out a perfectly serviceable and functional system for something that a majority of players may or may not consider "better". More than that, many suggested "fixes" are actually things we already tried and discarded for various reasons early in development, so while we're not going to go around telling everyone "sorry, tried that and it sucks", there are suggestions we aren't going to be able to run with because we've already been down that road and we know how it ends.

Silvia is solid. Weird and has a horror-tinge to her, but really solid. I like that the character has a driving force (discovering more about herself), and I equally like that there's some great sci-fi influence put into the app as well. Good post modern ideas like ghost in the shell and stuff like that has been put into this app.

This character is intensely weird, but she has a right to be, and they're using an interesting class (I've actually never seen an occult class played!) This app accomplishes pretty much everything it sets out to do, creating a backstory of a weird paranoid android that occasionally fucks up the world around them with their brain. With that said, I think there's not much room for improvement because its already on the strong side design wise.

>>53259970

This has been explained to you already.

People thought there was only going to be slots for 4 people, in one game.
Then it ended up being 12 people, in two games. 4 of which were friends of the GM, 3 or 4 of which were "big names". That's still 4 people who got completely out-of-nowhere and selected for the games anyway, with three times as many slots as was first assumed.

Backstory - 5/5 A well designed overall character and backstory that builds into and justifies all of her little problems, including her paranoia. It also gives her an antagonist faction hook, which is also cool.
Characterization - 4/5 This is probably personal bias, but I don't super like the 'curious and new to the world' trope, and it mixes a little oddly with her paranoia. A little work in tying her paranoia into her own curiosity about herself would bump this.
Signature System - 3/5 A rather boring signature system as its a straight boost, but it gets the job done, can't complain but would love to see something a bit more creative.
Mecha-ness - 3/5 She feels a little more like a cyber-punk character than a Mecha character, but she's compelling and the two settings can be somewhat close. I feel like trying to mecha her up anymore and she would be less interesting. Her being slightly outside the genre is her appeal in this case.

Thats it, I like Silvia quite a bit, ONWARDS

So who are you? The GM? Or Disk. I bet you're Disk.

What would be better for TSS? An Initiative bonus, or, a Stealth bonus plus increased miss chance from Veiled Moon stuff, or, a Diplomacy/Bluff bonus, or, a Sleight of Hand and feint bonus (combined with sneak attack and an actionless feint trigger within a few levels)? All of them scale by level.

I can pick up the others eventually too, but I can only get one of them before level 6.

Pixie is quite obviously a character written by someone who has watched a pile of mecha, Pixie ticks all the boxes. Her backstory is solid, and justifies who she is and her motivations, as well as how she picked up her mech and everything the GM seems to want, its REALLY solid in that respect, and its solidly written to boot

However it mostly tells us about Pixie's past, and just gives us a few ideas as to who she is. Pixie is unfortunately, something that I hate, even if its justified. She's a kind of standard 'knows nothing about the world' character, and as such is a mostly blank slate, I do appreciate that her outbursts of rage and such were added to her personality, as it will likely protect her from becoming a Rei clone.

But that's just a personal taste thing.

Did the DM approve Elans as a race btw?

Backstory - 5/5 Pixie has everything I like to see, hints towards characterization, possible plot hooks for enemies, possible plot hooks for allies, justification for having a nearly unique machine
Characterization - 4/5 Points off for the blank-slate thing. I just find it kind of lazy characterization and something I don't really like. Its all justified and such, but I have my prejudices.
Signature System - 2/5 This is... Rather poorly written and seems to just be 'do everything you do better at some risk'. Maybe its just a wording problem. I know what its trying to get across.
Mecha-ness - 5/5 Cyber newtype girls are a classic mecha trope, and Pixie is one to a T.

This backstory is Solid, but it shares the problems that Wiseman has, where as the character is a very solid badass mercenary type, he similarly lacks a driving force to push him to join the PMC. In fact this seems like a character that wouldn't want to join the PMC really.

A touch there would bring this backstory that is pretty solid, and a character thats got a driven personality to a fully built character. He just needs that touch to fully integrate with the story itself.

This is another strong app that I struggle to bring real criticisms against, my other one would be that he doesn't feel particularly mechy-y, its not like he's dissonant with the tone either.

>Cornelius and Amalthea have been on top of the meme game from the get go. Aurelian has a lot of Captain Slow heat and the recent questions about his sexuality are good meme fuel too. Priscilla is talked about a lot, but it looks like it's mostly self-shills so I don't think it's going anywhere fast especially now that the pandering to titty-rollers is official. People already started meming Sappy's character with Slow's before an application was even made, but it doesn't look like there's much going on to meme Simi now that she's been fleshed out. Adrian Love is the new hotness, but we'll have to see if he's got legs.

oh gods. it really was the boy's soul that he got into then.

The real shame here is that priscilla is actually a very good app, probably as good as it gets for "cute' characters, and because of that its recieved more attention in a short amount of time than is healthy for it, become a meme, and lost all validity in the eyes of many.

Inb4 "its not a real meme". It clearly is at this point, as much as anyone can be a true scotsman, its just somewhere between "normal meme" and "millhouse meme" and yet to settle.

>>53260045
Hey! Happy to say that (thanks to Keledrath's notes) in spite of the crushed wills of those who have come before, the non-maneuver errata is complete and the maneuver errata is about half done, with the beasts that were Broken Blade and Primal Fury tamed. I'm currently working through Scarlet Throne, and if all goes well, I should have the entire errata complete in a couple of weeks. Tempting fate, really, but godDAMN do I want this to be done.

While balance isn't actually the primary goal of the errata so much as fixing the myriad typoes, inconsistencies, unclear RAW, and general fuckups...

... yeah, it's being nerfed hard (along with its upgraded versions). Mostly the damage, though, rather than the actual functionality. We'll be having a beta release of the errata so that we can find out if it IS nerfed enough or if we need to do more.

>nerfing the damage of Zenith Strike
Literally the only purpose of those maneuvers is to give full attack damage on a standard. That's fucking it, and it's part of why Scarlet Throne is great for anybody who wants non-charging mobility and the damage a martial needs.

Fuck off everyone who is salty because you can one-round a standard monster that way. You could anyway with a full attack

Playing with feat tax rules, so that's already covered.
Due to agreement with my GM, I can't take "+1 to thing" feats.

Anybody have any ideas? About all I can think of right now is Martial Power then Improved Trip and Disarm for flail-fun. But that seems so shitty when I'll be using my standards on maneuvers.

Twice standard action attack damage at level 3 is excessive on all characters, especially when combined with boosts and stances.

If you want to do conditions:

Dirty Fighting, Improved Dirty Trick, Kitsune Style.

>>53261429
All the Zenith line really needs is for the damage multiplier to be cut by an additive factor of 1/2. So instead of x2, x3, x4 it goes ,x1.5, x2.5, x3.5.

>>53261538
It looks excessive, but it's basically just equivalent to a critical hit for most weapons.

It's hard, Anon. It's been months and it hasn't gotten any easier. I've cut back on my drinking, though. PMed some cute Anons. Gotta cope somehow.

>>53261538
Thing is actually, it's not excessive if, say, you'd be triple-wielding daggers and instead do that.

Or if all you have is a staff, or a sling.

Where it's excessive is when it's instead used to boost a large two-hander or a double-musket.

>>53261577
except you don't get to use a shield or TWF even when one-handing

>>53261589
Fuck his numbers, I've played those games. Zenith Strikes don't fuck up play. What fucks up play is that Scarlet Throne has almost exclusivity on something that every discipline should have a version of.

>>53261553
You literally make no sense.

>>53261593
I think the solution would be to ban the use of ST maneuvers with 2h weapons.
Strictly require a free hand, no exceptions.

>>53261197
I will meme you if you give me an hour or so.

>>53261625
ST would be shit, then. Great maneuvers, but nothing can salvage one-handing.

>>53261613
We're not inclined to take anecdotal evidence over actual numerical data. There's anecdotal evidence that Kineticists are good blasters, but that doesn't make it true.

>>53261537
Im a gamemaster of my own game. Weve been arguing the last 4 hours about scheduling. I don't mean to ignore you! Im shy!

>>53261638
A giant clusterfuck of save-or-lose maneuvers with extra damage attached and the killpower of "I autohit and autocrit" is more than enough to counter the DPR decrease from using a 1h weapon.

>>53261644
Sure, okay, no anecdotal. Doesn't change the fact that Zenith Strikes should set the standard for what a no-frills damage strike should be. If you have a maneuver, and all it does is kill someone, it should be comparable to a Zenith Strike. That's all a Zenith Strike is good for.

>>53261636
Yay!

Dead is better than prone or disarmed. Dead is the best status condition you can inflict.

>>53261681
Many low-level damaging strikes are being changed to not add additional damage and instead apply debuffs or otherwise control effects - especially in Primal Fury and Broken Blade.

>>53261692
You're going to have to math at me here, because I'm not seeing it.
If your STR is +10 and you're powerattacking for +10, the difference is 10 points if you don't 2hand. That's less than what you can get off a sure-hit 4x multiplier unless your base damage sucks ass. And if you take an enemy out of commission for 2.5 rounds with a stun-strike, that's generally enough time to wipe their allies uncontested.

And again, you'd only have to not 2hand when doing ST things.

>>53261716
But I'm not Temeria anon. Does he like kobolds too?

>>53261698
Hey then, give me a hand. I've slaved all night but I fear my work didn't turn out so right.

...Do you think the outfit looks like trash? I have no idea how to make chainmail.

>>53261728
See
>>53261725

That's cool and all, but dead is the best thing you can inflict as a martial (really as any character). It just is, and it always will be.

The additional damage on maneuvers, especially low-level maneuvers, is a tremendous help in dealing with not having great weapons yet. You better be upping the DC hard on these changes, otherwise I'd rather have damage. Every time.

>>53261718
Every day it's the same song and dance, vapid memes and cuteposting.

>>53261753
I mean, the design isn't bad but it doesn't look like chainmail, which is easy enough to draw by giving at least the illusion of many little circles connecting to one another.

>>53261763

I wish Maneuvers were new ways to fight and not just added damage. The very presence of added damage boosts means most of the time full attacking is still the correct answer to all tactical problems

>>53261746
Then why did you interrupt? We were talking about PMing Temeria.

>>53261763
We're not changing maneuver DCs. Initiator damage is too high compared to other martials, and, indeed, almost everyone in Pathfinder. This is not an ideal state and not the design goal of Path of War.

>>53261553

>which is easy enough to draw by giving at least the illusion of many little circles connecting to one another
kek

Tell me how

>>53261728
I really think that the issue isn't in the +damage low level maneuvers but instead in the level 1 access to +damage stances and boosts.
Most of the degenerate blenders I see are stacking damage boosts and damage stances with things that grant large quantities of attacks, and that's functionally what Zeniths do.

Many boosts are being changed to 'next attack' rather than one round duration, for precisely that reason.

Oh goodness, thank you so much. That was a serious problem Initiators had and i'm glad it's being resolved.

>>53261785
>Initiator damage is too high compared to other martials, and, indeed, almost everyone in Pathfinder.

This is a fucking good thing and I can't believe what I'm reading. The ability to constantly kill threats with good action economy is what makes Path of War characters worthwhile. The DCs are already criminally static and they need to be more reliable if you're going to take that from Initiators.

>>53261784
I didn't interrupt, though. I was responded to, and then responded in kind.

>>53261810

This is really good news! Please make OD cha based and make ZS functionality core with a tower shield focused archetype while you're at it.

>>53261850
I'm seriously worried that they're taking a page out of Paizo's book and thinking that martials cannot have the ability to function effectively compared to casters.

>>53261810
The thing is that Barbarians were one of the few acceptable martials *because* they could deal enough damage reliably to make direct damage a threat. You need Barbarian level damage to play as a damage dealing character, or you need to have your status effects work the majority of the time (and they need to be good effects too).

>>53261904
That's no excuse to make maneuvers strictly worse.

Maneuvers aren't the issue, it's boosts and stances

>>53261206

>>53261911
Direct Attack Damage is the least effective way to win encounters, so it's very hard to make it overpowered.

>>53261812
Solar Wind at present isn't changing as much as other disciplines.

>>53261850
We have no intention of making Path of War characters numerically more powerful than other martials. We intend to give them combat utility through maneuvers, but at present we do not have the resources to give them more out-of-combat utility.

>>53261878
Path of War is not intended to be balanced compared to Wizards or Clerics, but against Magi and Inquisitors. We have no intention of giving initiators access to the campaign-warping power that 9th level casters offer.

Are you kidding? Killing stuff is easily the best way to end encounters. The only problem beat sticks have is that everyone kills each other so effectively that not killing things in one turn means you get killed in return.

>>53261919
Boosts and Stances are important for making basic attack patterns for Initiators meaningful. Consider opportunity attacks, or attacks granted by other characters. These still need that leg up because direct attacks blow

>>53261925
>We have no intention of making Path of War characters numerically more powerful than other martials. We intend to give them combat utility through maneuvers, but at present we do not have the resources to give them more out-of-combat utility.
Then you're going to cripple PoW and render it trash.
Seriously, existing martials ARE UNDERPOWERED. Being better than the current Paizo curve is NECESSARY to matter in combat as a big stupid fighter.

>>53261955
Existing Martials are not under powered, they are incredibly effective at their job of KILLING SHIT.

You're a retard. the whole problem with martials is that all they can do is kill shit.

>>53261925
Taveena, have you ever watched Thunderbolt Fantasy? That's what I imagine the initiators to be like at higher levels.

>>53261925
You are killing PoW by making them fall in line with shit like Fighters and Barbarians. Again, Barbarians are floor of what you should be able to do as a martial character. The FLOOR. Not the ceiling.

>>53261955
Wow you're dumb.

A Fighter is perfectly adept at slapping something until it falls over.

The problem is that doing so is boring as sin.

Making him killier doesn't fix his problem.

>>53261966
And... replacing flat damage boosts with more varied effects is going to do exactly that?

>>53261941
I'm currently playing a game as a hardened lowlife currently working for a crime gang. It's 5th session and I've yet to kill anyone. The worst I've done was to punch a lizardman unconscious during an actual armed fight and make his buds run off. I'm gonna interrogate next turn.

Of course, this ain't PF, because in PF I wouldn't even have the ability to punch anyone as a non-dedicated martial and fall on my ass while kobolds point at me and laugh.

>>53261837
I talked about it here last year.

I had a grand plan of running a 25PB game with PoW and Psionics in the part of Faerun that was based of the Delian League of the Mediterranean.

The game would start in 1368 DR and go through the Roll of Years, so they would defend their barley farms from Sahaugin, Shadovar, Drow, rogue Dragons, Thayan refugees, and maybe participate in Xorvintaal.. Depending on which city-state the PCs allied with, they could be merchant princes, senators, or abandon the country for a Planescape game.

Basically, I would ignore Golarion, most of the 3.5 - 5E campaign setting changes, and use 2E Forgotten Realms material.

I couldn't get any players from the LGS to sign up. My schedule has also gotten worse.

>>53261984
>>53261974

No, you're wrong. They're ineffective at killing shit because they have to constantly make full attacks and charge to deal their damage. This is the number one thing that makes them inflexible: the shitty action economy on getting that damage output.

>>53261973
I'm now about 90% convinced these are trolls trying to ruin the attempt at fixing PoW properly because they feel they can pressure Taveena into bad judgement calls by complaining loud enough.

>>53261999
Which doesn't change the fact that once they're doing that, they're raping things to the ground in a turn

Barbarians are even better at it, and get pounce.

>>53261984
Real question now.
In light of >>53261999 's comment, do you feel the lowered strike damage will make full initiators have to be more reliant on full attacks to keep up?

>>53261925
Just don't forget that "damage" is the equivalent to binary save-or-loss.

ALWAYS measure it up to make sure it does not take more turns on average to kill something than it does to simply turn it into your permanent slobbering sex sleeve.

Or slave, i guess that works too

>>53261973
You realize fighters outperform barbarians by a big margin now, right?

PoW is never going to fix that damage is bloated and defenses don't scale properly, that's a PF problem.

>>53262027
As damaging boosts and stances are being changed to only trigger on the first attack in a round, full attacks should provide considerably less of a benefit over strikes.

>>53262016
>>53262016

And pounce means you have to charge, which means you're stuck doing the same thing over and over again to puke out a bunch of attacks.

Damage on stances, strikes, and boosts is what makes Initiators able to do other things than charge, five-foot step, and full attack. It means they can just make a standard action attack and have it be numerically viable.

>>53262027
The thing is that initiators' only weakness on the full attack front over normal martials is maybe a lower strength or dex because they wanted a good IM as well.

That's still made up for by all the other shit, I'd wager.

>>53259970

ITS RETARDED I CAN'T GET THROUGH TO HIM

HOW IS THAT BALANCED? OUTDAMAGING BARBARIANS WITH BETTER ACTION ECONOMY IS INSANELY BROKEN, BARBARIANS CAN ALREADY ONE-ROUND MOST ENEMIES

INITIATORS NEED TO NOT OUTDAMAGE BARBARIANS ON A STANDARD ACTION, THEY NEED TO COMPARABLE FAVORABLY TO BARBS/FIGHTERS WHILE HAVING MORE UTILITY.

>>53262056
You've always got Starknives, at least...

>>53262048
Not really, unless the strikes are getting an upgrade.

If I do one hit at +4d6, then boost or not it's very easy for me to be better off doing three hits at no +d6s

Not him, but starknives are a meme in general. His only hope now is waiting for full BAB avowed, gestalting with Hidden Blade, and begging his GM to let him be Cha-based

>>53261728
I've always liked Broken Blade for the dirty tricking it does and get butthurt when it's banned because of the damage, so I am veeeery okay with this.

>>53262106
LISTEN YOU STUPID FUCK THINK ABOUT OUTSIDE OF COMBAT SHIT TOO

OH MY GOD YOU HAVE THE BRAINPOWER OF A GODDAMN SNAIL

>>53262118
They're not adding out of combat shit, retard.

>>53262112
Then you'll love the new Broken Blade, at least! It's got a much larger focus on that.

>>53262120
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>53262127
You can do that all you want, but they're not about to add a bunch of utility maneuvers. They don't exist.

>>53262048
At first I felt the pain from my builds getting nerfed, but actually this makes a lot of sense. I think.

>>53261984
I'd say episode 9 would fit that best, when Screaming Phoenix Killer fights the main villain. Or in short, "How not to Thrashing Dragon against a Veiled Moon user".

Episode 12 has a great reveal, but I couldn't find any subbed clips. The first few minutes of the final episode are basically the memetic version of level 20 initiators duking it out, and I'll link that below in case you haven't seen it before.

He foreshadowed what would happen and the player did it anyways. What do you expect.

>>53262139
Sure, then dude, point out to me where we're getting initiating abilities that are at all comparable to stuff that 6th level casters get.

>>53261784
No, I wanted to PM that other Anon. You're in the wrong here.

>>53262200
yeah, all those pale in comparison to even magus, the 6th level caster with the worst spell list.

>>53261837
Wuxia game based in Quain, initiation is mandatory for all characters.

A mech game somewhere between Macross and Buddy Complex, with the aesthetic of Star Driver.

>>53262112
Same!

>>53262200
You mean higher level strikes and stances?

>>53262056
A good system would allow any sort of stat-based class. STR wizards and CHA barbarians.

>>53262242
if any stat does anything, then stats are meaningless

>>53262200
>>All day healing
This is supposed to be a highlight?

>>53261992

That... That was last year? No... It feels like yesterday!

>>53262141
Well, that was awesome, anon. Thank you. ^^

>>53262211
We're not going to deny that 6-level casters have more utility than the Path of War classes, but fixing that is out of the scope of the errata. It's still something we want to do, though. That said, they're doing better on utility than a Barbarian or Fighter, while putting out way too much comparable damage.

>>53262048
Those strikes better compare favorably to a Fighter or Barbarian's full attack, then. They have to, or else I'm just going to full attack. No, I really don't care about a DC 15 chance to prone. That's not worth my time.

>>53262121
Are you guys releasing a second print version of PoW with the errata, or are you releasing a separate PDF you read along with the original release?

>>53262231
>6th level casters get better abilities as they level up
>so do initiators

wow.

>>53262231
>Incorporeality at will
Maneuver level 3. Probably should be moved higher
>Teleportation at will
Maneuver level 2.
>Stances that grant constant scent
Maneuver level 1.
>All-day attack negation
Any counter.
>Ability to steal magic buffs from opponents
Shattered Mirror, maneuver level 2 onwards.
>Constant Blindsight
Okay this one's high level
>All day healing
Silver Crane from level 1 on

"""higher level"""

>>53262242
>>53262250

So no "I cast Fist!"?

>>53262268
>>53262273

Initiators get very limited in scope powers, many of which are only available as part of strikes and most only through Supernatural disciplines, which not everyone wants to take.

>>53262258
Barbs and Fighters suck and are not a good example of anything except how much per round damage you should be doing. Even Tome of Battle didn't use them as a measuring stick.

>>53262277
I hate that meme, why do you have to be a Wizard, the whole joke of the muscle wizard is that he's not casting any spells, he's just punching someone

If you want to be a muscle wizard, be a fucking MONK.

>>53262287
>Initiators don't get ANY utility
>"What about these things"
>Initiators don't get ANY utility except in a wide group of disciplines that not everyone wants to take

Holy moving goalposts, batman.

More nonmagic disciplines should get cool stuff though yeah

>>53262261
This is correct. This is the appeal of PoW classes: I don't have to full attack to be an effective damage dealer.

Where is my farming discipline centered around grooming crops?

>>53262250
You don't get it. Alternative skills.

Fighter
STR: Big clubs
DEX: Ssssooords
CON: Meat
INT: Technique
WIS: Tactics
CHA: Leadership

Just do that for every class.

Maybe I'll try running it again in a few months.

I'm so far behind on all the latest handbooks.

I would also have to warn players that some builds may not work out that well because of the encounter tables.

It gets pretty bad when the shocking grasp Magus and air bloodline Sorcerer have to fight a Gelatinous Cube in a sewer.

>>53262321
Really, what initiators should get is a bundle of non-combat maneuvers they ready in parallel with their normal maneuvers. And non-combat stances, again gained in parallel.

>>53262321
Most of those ARE strikes from Supernatural disciplines. Your DM may or may not let you use them just as an at-will power.

>>53262344
>they're all effectively the same

Just freeform RP already

>>53262334
>Scythe-based discipline

>>53262351

Are you retarded

>>53262299
Imagine a spell that has a big throwing force, like if you were shooting a cannon?

You'd need STR to control it. That's assuming spells would work like that.

Or, I don't know, spells that do things with your STR base stat, like huge get huger.

>>53262359
Don't act as if it's even remotely a common thing.

It's not a meme, but I'm don't know how to make memes.

>>53262353
Anon when people lose an eye they compensate by listening harder.

Only retards would go to war with only one specific set of skill. Smart fighters are those who come back.

>>53262351
By that logic, my DM may not let my wizard cast out of combat or may not let my rogue have arms out of combat.

>>53262347
>non-combat maneuvers

...Anon.
Either those are unlimited per day, in which case they become warlock clauses, or they're limited per day, in which case it becomes LITERALLY SPELLCASTING.

The only thing that mechanically distinguishes maneuvers from other class features is the fact they have short term battle cooldowns.

I haven't been on this board for the past few days, so it must have been someone else.

Or, you've been here too long.

>>53262389
Ain't nothing wrong with warlock clauses.
Ain't nothing wrong with retreading solid ground.

>>53262321
That's pretty valid when most initiators don't get those disciplines natively.

>>53262374
Oh my gosh that's adorable.

Is this a blanket errata, like, a general rule that affects even PoW:E stances too?

>>53262332
>>53262261
>>53262048
This is the heart of the damage debate. I started playing playing Path of War classes because I did the math and I saw that I could achieve pseudo-full attack numbers with standard attacks or standard + swift. This opened up a whole world of combat to me. If my standard action attacks go back to being a basic attack with a minor bell or whistle, I'll just use full attacks. I have no incentive to do anything else.

Barbarians have other things they can do with their action as well, but nothing comes close to being as useful as a full attack. That's the metagame.

The comments about raising Maneuver DCs is a valid one, because whatever I'm doing has to be more effective at ending the fight than just making a fistful of attacks.

In games with SoP, there's an enchantment(fae-forged) that gives the same effect. It costs money though.

I may be slow, but don't let it be said that I'm not making the attempt for these when life isn't getting in the way. Unfortunately, the need to wake up pretty early tomorrow means at best I'll be rolling after this to see who I'm going to have to give a highly delayed review to next.

Kirha Kirhanna; LG Female Catfolk
Battle Butler | Warlord (Desperado)
>Be child of poor catfolk family with a history of working as servants to Chellish nobles
>Aspire to make her service valuable, because that’s what a good servant does
>gets enrolled in an etiquette school
>which also happens to be a splinter group of the Empire’s assassin’s guild
>focused entirely around training servants to nobility
>her first posting is to a family with a ruined estate, and she gets an odd request
>rather than attend the mansion, how about an adventure on behalf of her employer?
>go participate in some deep jungle expeditions, maybe grab some rare plants, and the position of Head Maid will be yours!

I walked into this expecting to immediately despise Kirha, but the complete refuge in audacity of the character made the entire thing loop around to being kind of endearing the more I look it over. The backstory doesn’t have a whole lot to really talk about. It’s goofy, it’s dumb, it’s right at home in a harem comedy anime. I can kind of see her working, especially considering how she’s explicitly from Sargava, but the absurd nature of EAGER alone feels like it would force the campaign’s tone to conform to the character.

(1/2)

>>53262448
>everything you do needs to end a combat immediately or it's shit

>>53262298
That's... why initiators have more utility than Barbarians and Fighters. Not ENOUGH, but we can't fix that in the errata.

>>53262442
It's not a general rule - each boost and stance is being looked at individually. PoW:E might get similar changes made to them, though.

>>53262448
We fully intend for strike + stance + boost damage to be comparable to that of other damage dealers.

>we're not going to raise the DCs for strikes
So even though I'm going to be forced to keep several low-level maneuvers, you're not going to remove their stupid built in DCs like 12 or 13 + Modifier?

>>53262453
Maybe, but I've consistently been drawing her taller than she should be. I'll keep it in mind next time though.

Rolled 4 (1d27)

>>53262482
The personality section makes up the other half or so of the app, and… Feels really bloated compared to her backstory. Throwing out the fetish maid aesthetic of the art and pretending the premise isn’t absurd, she looks pleasant enough at her core, but I can’t help but feel like most of this could be trimmed without hurting the character as a whole. It’s still entertaining, but just feels like filler.

The Good
>While the concept IS absurd, most of it is admittedly just background noise that
>Honestly, in a game that abandons all pretenses of trying to stay true to “pulp action flick”, she looks like she could end up being the thing holding the party together

The Bad
>The motivation just isn’t there, and that hurts more than anything
>it’s still trying to play a joke from the wrong genre straight, and will require the rest of the group to buy into it
>oh come on, you’re a combat maid trained by an assassin guild splinter group called EAGER, you can’t tell me it’s not a joke
>telling people to not sexualize the cat won’t stop them

Backstory 6/10 - As dumb as it is, the very nature of the application just makes it kinda fun to read. It’s a dumb but still an entertaining premise, one of my guilty pleasures.
Compatibility 5?/10 - She’s got Warlord on one side, so she’ll always have some semblance of usefulness. I can’t really guess at what Battle Butler will actually bring to the table with the quick glance I gave it, though.
Wanderlust 1/10 - She’s here because her employer said so, and beyond being a good servant, hasn’t got anything to keep her invested in things.
Overall Pulpiness 2/10 - She seems more at home in a Light Novelist’s take on a pulpy adventure flick.
Bonus: While I feel neither character is really fitting for the campaign they’re applying to, Kirha and Akane appear as though they would bounce off one another well, especially now that I actually look at them side-by-side.
