SPECIAL EDITION OF DRAGON GAME 2
Agent for R.I.N.K.A

>While The main party is off on a manhunt for a serial buggerer. Rinka (having been absent for the main session), was discussing the proper kind of pyrotechnics nessiary for a jazz act, with pianist/baratone vocalist/hooch master "Skinny" the kobold.
>This is cut short by Mune, Fluffy dragon maid, former consort to The Queen, Camp follower, and Rory's Steady Gal.
>"Someone's gotten a hold of The Queen's old magic items from an old lair of hers, Are you a bad enough R@ to find the magic items, hog tie the culprit, and rescue the things left in our collective mom's attic?"
>Turns out GUNSMOKE WITCH RINKA is such a Bad R@... though not literally a rat, that would be silly.
>She rushes out and searches for clues, asking the locals if they've seen the magic item dealer, Crazy Hassan. The most likely because she short and can't be noticed, it takes upwards of two hours before she finds a man with a sack full of suspiciously ornate items heading into an alley.
>Several men are loading up sacks and crates filled with magic items into a wagon.
>She sneaks behind, confirming the contents as what she's looking for then tosses in a thunderstone.
>"THUVIAN SECRET POLICE YOU ALL ARE GOING DOWN TOWN!!"
>"ITS THE FUZZ!! CHEEZE IT!"
> The wagon bolts, leaving the stunned thugs caught by the thunderstone behind. Rinka teleports into the wagon and hold up the thugs riding within.
>One of the thugs starts blindly activating the magic items in Rinka's face! Summoning garden snakes all over her! they dont hurt but they're annoying.
>Rinka blasts the guy burning him and lighting the wagon on fire.
>The Thug reciprocates by throwing a necklass at her. A necklass of fireballs to be exact.
>Either seven small explosions, or one big explosion later, the wagon erupts sending the magic item haul all over the street.

They had to stop eventually due to a crazy golem though (You'll recall this lair is where Dragon Game one had their test)
>Old Hassan is trying to skip town via river ferry with all his loot, due to the guard catching wise to the unsafe goods he was peddling.

There's no reason why this can't be taken into account. If it's a good rule, then put it in. If you're already at 60 pages, what's two more lines? Just do a CTRL-F then delete any newly written DCs in the errata and you're fucking done.

I've edited pdfs before and deleting 10 to 20 characters at a time is not a big deal, if that's your concern.

Everything Forrest has said in irc and other talks sounds like the top two bosses at DSP (not Forrest) want this to be as easy as possible for non-forum people without much system mastery (you know, the most numerous customers) to use it.

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.

"Oh my god, we might inconvenience people by making some of their powers better instead of worse!"

What was great about PoW was I didn't need to houserule that much of anything, or I could be a player and reasonably expect my shit to work if the DM allowed it.

You know what, fuck this. This entire thing is threatening to go full retard, so I'm going full retard first.
I'm making a Dvati Discordant Crusader // Sorcerer / Oracle / Mystic Theurge and NONE OF YOU CAN STOP ME.

>>53263671
Deleting a whole paragraph is different from deleting a sentence from every individual maneuver.

>>53263660
It's nowhere near Path of War's damage.

What part of full retard did you not get?

Honestly though, that entire half of the gestalt is going to be doing jack and shit aside from non-combat utility, considering it'll be 4 levels behind on both casting fronts. And on a Dvati, who are godawful casters. I'd say I'd be fairly likely to get a reasonable GM to give it the OK.

>>53263742
Who would have thought? The people who don't see the damage as a problem didn't complain. My real problem, however, is that they're fucking over boosts and not fixing maneuver DCs to be workable for more than a handful of levels.

>>53263705

>>53263771
Tell me how attack boosts not working with my defensive focus is a good change I should be happy about.

>>53263778
Because some still will and some won't

>>53263778
Because it's not a blanket change, but changes to individual boosts?

>>53263785
The ones I want to work with defensive focus are the ones that last for one round because that's going to help my opportunity attacks and let me do my fucking job. The ones I don't care about are the ones for one-off attacks.

>>53263568
Cutting his hand off altogether is a pretty dick move though. Everything else like him getting his ass beaten is fine.

>>53263759
Die about halfway though the adventure in the most contrived manner you can for no real reason other than writing a gorn fanfiction. Let the other players know is HAS TO BE THIS WAY.

>>53263799
So only pick the boosts that do that.

What is wrong with you?

>TWF maneuvers and stances will now only boost damage on the first hit

Soooo why be a twf initiator? What use will thrashing dragon have?

>>53263812
Most of them are apparently going to be limited to your first attack, because some people used them to do a full attack and that is the devil.

>>53263873
>Its totally ok that I was able to one shot cr+7 encounters. This was balanced.

>>53263854
Being able to outperform barbarians is a shit. Initiator's abilities should not be just 'dealing stupid damage' they should actually add something to the class besides a flavorful way to cause 36 damage when a barbarian can do that in one attack.

>>53263854
While I don't like the latter, what's wrong with initiators outdamaging barbs? Somebody's got to teach those savages their place.

Nic cage does it a lot too, he's just more prone to playing a protagonist who dies, so its not quite as such a meme.

>>53263888
it doesn't mean its not a huge problem

The other chars also did insane damage, alchemy just did RETARDED damage

>>53263892
Stances and boosts are being hit to only affect the first attack roll. So you know, all those extra attacks are gonna get.... what again?

is bestiary 6 ever going to be added to the megas?

>>53263903
>The other chars also did insane damage

But nowhere near Path of War's damage.

Ah, alright. So gratituous death and copious amounts of screaming are in the works. Any other tips?

>>53263909
they also did it far less interestingly than PoW, there's basically no reason to use SoM over default paizo

But the biggest problem with PoW's damage output is boosts on full attacks

>>53263929

wrong rory

>>53263929
Its almost like players matter

>>53263918
It's almost like you really shouldn't be playing a standard martial in a PoW game unless you're also using an initiating archetype.

>>53263931
>No you absolute mongoloid, SOME stances and boosts are being changed, not ALL stances and boosts
They said all damaging stances and boosts are being changed to do that.

>>53263931
>they also did it far less interestingly than PoW, there's basically no reason to use SoM over default paizo

Only if you build SoM characters in a boring way.

>>53263915
I dunno. Honestly im basing all this on having watched the wicker man and kickass. Try to imagine what kind of nic cage you are playing, then go find a movie which fits that description that has cage in it.

Fucking with those boosts also fucks with opportunity attacks and counters, the cornerstone of my favorite class. I'll deal with full attacks being stronger if I can actually use my arsenal to fulfill my class role.

sup weebfinder gen,

would going full nine tails with Kitsune Trickster Rogue by level 6 be worth it? doable with the alt trait and favored class bonus. was going for a face with a few tricks up her sleeves. could do deep infiltration and assassinations first hand if need be. have some easy lower level backup.

was also thinking about using things like steal the story and rumormonger to ruin peoples reputation, can make infiltration easier, turn others against each other, maybe even start a coup, etc. possibly make some mind control spells easier to pull off for being a reasonable thing to do. rumors mixed with suggestion on certain people close enough to them and make them think it was their idea.

>>53263929

I'll freely admit, i fucked up that session. So i'm gonna make up for it.

>>53263957
I'm just going to ignore the errata if it's bad, and I suggest everyone else do the same. Just because it's official doesn't mean it's good.

>>53263966
The best way, not that they'll do it, would be to make the boosts "first attack each turn until your next turn".

>>53263940
No, Taveena literally said its on a case by case basis.

>>53261810
>>53262511

>>53263966
you can't use a counter if you used a boost, idiot, swift actions and immediate actions overlap.

>>53263982
I would support that wholeheartedly. But, that would be far too intelligent. And the wordcount! Think of the wordcount!

>>53263938
Maybe its initiators in normal games that bug me.

Fuck off retard

>>53263995
And where did he say that 'Case by case' basis is 'All of thrashing dragon is untouched'?

Every semi useful TWF power for thrashing dragon, boost, stance, is gonna get shit on. I love doing no damage as a TWF character again.

>>53263953
Probably that one where Nic Cage thinks he's a vampire.

>>53263995
>you can't use a counter if you used a boost, idiot, swift actions and immediate actions overlap.
Learn how immediate actions work, retard.
An immediate takes your next turn's swift, not your last turn's.

>>53264000
You have to step up your game, just like if someone rolled up with a Cleric in a game where the only other caster is a magus

>>53264007
>build SoM character to do nothing but bigass damage
>complain that all they can do is bigass damage

Are you dumb?

>>53264019
You literally do not know that.

Taveena didn't say anything about Thrashing Dragon, and given the majority of the focus is on Primal Fury, Broken blade, and Scarlet Throne

>>53264032
Why would I use a system if it does nothing but make martials do more damage? Its fundamentally useless to me. It doesn't change how they play or add utility, its just bigger numbers, fuck off.

>>53264042
So is the errata actually improving anything like the ranged disciplines being shit?

>>53264059
We literally don't know because we haven't seen it AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Generally its goals seem to be fixing bad wording and nonfunctional stuff, and fixing the balance of Primal Fury, Broken blade, and scarlet throne.

You can also use SoM to make really interesting martials who debuff, do battlefield control, buff, use combat maneuvers, etc.

Your fault if you pass that up for MOAR DAMAGE.

>>53264072
But overall they've only talked about nerfing and bringing down initiators to other characters without improving places they're weak on, right?

>>53264025
That might be the case, but it sure feels more like someone playing a druid in an all monk party.

>>53264084
Thats because the biggest problem with Initiators is too much damage and not enough of anything else

They're like the Magus on crack.

>>53264074
or I could just not use the shitty system that will be broken by autistic shitters, and just use something thats not ass.

Its not a rewrite of PoW, its fixes on the current problems, which are focused on broken blade, primal fury, and scarlet throne, along with fixing bad and nonfunctional wording

I don't know how many times I have to say this

Think of it this way, its actually better to do things incrementally, especially in this case because we don't even know how ST, BB, and PF after nerfs stack up against the other disciplines power-wise.

A lot of disciplines like PT have the biggest argument against them being not that they're particularly bad, its just they're not as good as something like scarlet throne straight up.

Given that everything in PF is a balance, you kind of have to let it shake out

I agree that the ranged disciplines need changes, but i'd say fixing BB, PF, and ST are higher priority.

>>53264158
oh please, you're overreacting.

>>53264166
isn't there a thing out there that says 'solar wind can be whatever energy type you want it to be when you select it?' in PoW E or something? I'm pretty sure thats already a thing

>>53264003
your no fun. i bet you dont even rp

>>53264192
Stormwind fallaaaccyyyy

>>53264179
No, PT's problem is that it's another charging, 2h discipline when Primal Fury already exists.

>>53264198
Yes, a charging 2h discipline thats strictly worse than PF in every way imaginable

until now.

>>53264203
yeah that one.

>>53264166
Oh, there was a feat to remedy that in PoW: E. Variable Wind allows for changing energy type of Solar Wind disciplines.

>>53264179
>oh please, you're overreacting.
I really don't feel like I am. If 1pp classes are going to be the benchmark, that's a pretty low benchmark.

>>53264206
Even if they were equivalent, PT is completely redundant because PF already covers that niche.

>>53264215
>>53264179
Alright, i'll renege the solar wind getting cucked bit. But I do feel it should just be a base thing. but a feat beats nothing I will whole heartedly agree.

>>53264219
but 1pp barbarians are already great at the 'murder something in one turn' meme, they should be the benchmark of damage, and ideally the classes should have more utility spreading out from it

>>53264219
well Primal Fury is getting a complete rewrite, just like broken blade

>>53264179
>isn't there a thing out there that says 'solar wind can be whatever energy type you want it to be when you select it?' in PoW E or something? I'm pretty sure thats already a thing
Yeah.
Even still though, you hit the "whoops, monster is immune to you" issue fairly often. Acid's the least resisted element you can pick, and even still a good 25% of monsters are resistant or immune.
The only "fix" is variable wind on a chassis that can switch active element in combat, which is no fix at all since it requires a feat and a particular class.

I personally just let Solar Wind disciples deal d4s of their weapon's damage whenever they prefer.

>>53264231
1pp Barbarians are the baseline for what's acceptable for a melee fighter. There are already superior versions of beatsticks in the game.

Even if PF got completely rewritten, I don't think they're going to change it from being a 2h discipline focused on charging because that's it's identity. It's sort of the default 2h discipline option.

>>53264261
No, they're not the 'baseline', they're actually the upper tier. You ideals are warped, 1rounding equal CR should not be a thing, let alone cr+3 like PoW can.

It's my first time playing Pathfinder and my Fighter just got bumped to level 2. I've only recently learned how lackluster martial classes are; rolled a Fighter mostly for the classic party composition and class fantasy, but I want to secure my place in future encounters. I picked up 14 Intelligence at chargen; is dipping, or even full-on switch, into Wizard advisable?

>>53264274
No, it should absolutely be a thing because casters are capable of doing that and more.

>>53264283
No, just make a new character.

>>53264295
Too bad. I like my character. I'm willing to see into more options.

You should have made a Slayer and called him a Fighter.

>>53264274
It's OK when casters do it.
Why can't martials?

>>53264319
The right spells can absolutely end encounters of CR. That's not even up for debate anymore.

>>53264328
Because Casters don't actually routinely one-shot enemies of far higher CR
>>53264332
Yeah, if you get lucky, PoW can do it at its baseline.

Caster's problem isn't even combat related, like combat and casters is literally not why 9th level casters are problematic, and if you think save or suck/die spells are why 9th level casters are problematic, you're wrong and you need to stop.

>>53264332
The spells that do that at level one at Color Spray and Sleep. Which require your enemies to not only be in neat little clumps, but if it's color spray requires you to press your soft squishy body against the enemy.

A level 1 wizard coming up for his color spray cone? Better hope they ALL fail the save, the one that isn't is putting you unconscious with his greatclub.

>>53264179
Anon is right. PT is just redundant. It shouldn't have been made at all.

>>53264344
No, that's not the only reason why Casters are strong, but it is a thing that they can do. Since we have accepted that it's okay for them to be able to do that, it's fine for other classes to be able to one-shot equal CR enemies.

>>53264344
>Because Casters don't actually routinely one-shot enemies of far higher CR
I'm not sure what you're playing, but it's clearly not PF with caster players who aren't gargling feces.

>>53264372
Hey retard
High level casters are stupid bullshit OP in more than one way
Because they can hit the "next" button on combat encounters AND because they can hit the "next" button on non-combat encounters.

>>53264372
Turn your capslock off you fucking autist. Seriously. Nobody is saying that's the only thing that casters can do, it is just one thing that they are able to do. This is accepted as an okay thing. Why is it wrong when other classes do it?

This isn't comfy at all!

>>53264487
Even if the enemies aren't rocket-tagging? You know, because the GM can use enemies that don't rely on rocket-tag, but rely on debuffs and fucking with the party? Would rocket tag on the PC's end STILL be "literally better than any alternative", or do you actually have some brain-fluid up there like you should?

Reviewanon, Reviewanon! Do more TSS apps! I want to see the others!

>>53264502
Anon.

Pugilist stance, steel flurry strike, bronze knuckle, add in weapon group adaptation to use a greatsword.

thats like... 24d6+4.5x strength. Plus other relevant damage boosts.

with lets say.. 20 str, thats like 24d6+21

It doesn't quite one-round a CR-12 monster, (PoW needs more levels before It can ACTUALLY blow things CR+7 away)

But it does trivialize cr+3 monsters, which is actually still insane.

>>53264518
>Even if the enemies aren't rocket-tagging?
Then the problem is that enemies aren't dangerous enough.

>>53264556
Man if neither side rocket tags its almost like enemies would be deadly enough

>>53264515
the only comfy thing about this thread was the Agent Rinka greentext.

>>53264551
CR+3 isn't really as big of a hurdle as you think it is.

>>53264574
cr+3 should be a boss encounter for a party

Blowing away a CR3 enemy in one turn is absolutely a problem.

What do I do /pfg/. Everything is going from bad to worse in game and I can't stop it. No matter what I seem to try either circumstances conspire to make our situation worse or my fellow party members ensure that things go down the tube. I can't keep this fucking balancing act up forever.

Already 3 of the 4 of them have died. It's just me and the investigator from the original party. My character keeps making enemies because of these fucks.

Should I murder them, change my identity, and be done with it?

>>53264561
Or you get release 4E and make me want to kill myself instead of play the game.

>>53264584

>>53264556

>and enemies can ONLY deal damage, they never ever can debuff or fuck with me

>>53264587
but 4e was fun, it just wasnt' d&d

>>53264595
To be fair, most enemies either club you to death or are spellcasters who can also club you to death. They've got better options than trying risky conditional debuffs

>>53264602
4E wasn't fun when it was 4 rounds of players and enemies whiffing against each other and love tapping each other. What a surprise that they turned up the lethality on both ends when everyone complained about it.

>>53264595
I don't know why you think that doesn't qualify as rocket tag. If an enemy kills you or otherwise renders you unable to fight within 1-2 rounds, that's rocket tag right there.

>>53264615
the ideal is about 2-rounds for lethality, i agree.

Does this mean that Spheres of Might ACTUALLY does more damage than Path of War now?

This is why I design interesting encounters. The more I read /pfg/ the more I see that the mentality on both the GM and the player side is wrong.

Players act like killing should be the only outcome of a fight ever on both sides. GMs facilitate this mentality by creating enemies and situations that do not breed any kind of interesting fights.

Everyone here is, for the most part, complete fucking garbage. I hope you all die in a fire.

We have our base in Xen'drik. The party each does their own thing; Grib and Eldrich enjoying the high life with fancy drinks and cheeses while partying the night away, Kolt relaxing by tending to the base's arms and weapons R&D, and our newcomers are coming to grips with their new home away from home and getting acquainted with the guildsmen. Elsbeth, however, is either locked in her room with her books or she steals herself away to the empty docks near port as they brought her simpler memories of growing up in Lhazaar.

>>53264669
Not really, you just think interesting combat is incompatible with lethal combat.

>>53264669
I've been with DMs like you. Your fights are tedious as fuck

>>53264688
Good job putting fucking words in my mouth. Interesting and lethal combat often go hand in hand. However extreme rocket tag and interesting combat do not. Extreme rocket tag gives no room for interesting combat because combat ends before anything interesting can occur and drags as people attempt to optimize their turns because giving the enemy even a slight chance to retaliate often comes with death.

I often find extreme rocket tags takes enormous amounts of time because of how much people consider their turns before taken them.

That's also shit encounter design bucko. There are more ways to design encounters than extreme rocket tag and garbage 'fix the puzzle' encounters.

Sure is fun to watch your wizard second guess himself for ten minutes before deciding to dimension door away. Or your summoner reposition his oragami tigers into a sphere around an enemy to ensure coverage, then have to do it again once he realizes their reaches don't overlap properly.

>>53264843
Tempting, but I'd need a full list of your rules

Our group was playing the first Wrath of the Righteous, and began the assault on the evil underground people on our way back up to the surface.

We get absolutely hammered fighting everyone in the building, and the enemies going invisible to bugger us on a surprise round was making our ability to fight back go shockingly poor. We manage to win for most of it, though the Clerics janked us up pretty good with their negative channeling. After we took care of them, all of us are at like, 2 HP and no means of healing ourselves.

Then the barbarian decides to open up the meat locker room where we knew there was a Monitor Lizard because she wanted to "vent some anger" on the thing. The lizard gets the jump on her because she made no attempt to hide her intentions and crits her down to 1 HP from full death. The lizard then goes on to not roll below 15 the rest of the encounter as it almost kills everyone in our party, leaving the NPCs and our almost dead wizard to drag our unconcious bodies back to the underground town we came from. We had to end the game there because everyone was laughing too hard that this little lizard just ended everyone's existence.

>>53264847
Strike! is a good game.

>>53264781
It's not, though. The best part of XCOM by far is the small squad skirmishes where enemies are dying with each shot or being crippled with flashbangs. The shittiest is when you get stuck in a quagmire that takes several rounds to resolve.

>>53264881
I can post some house rules.

Healing and Dying
Healing Surges are no longer per day, but instead per encounter. Everyone has three Healing Surges per encounter. The Durable feat grants one additional Healing Surge in each encounter.

A PC below 0 HP is simply Unconscious. A PC who reaches their negative bloodied value is Defeated, and can only be returned to battle by game elements that normally revive dead characters.

All PCs are restored to full HP at the conclusion of every encounter including Defeated and Unconscious PCs.

>>53264860
You realize pathfinder and xcom aren't really comparable games, correct? In essentially any metric

>>53264821
No, you're a retard. That's two different events, and here's what happened.

EVENT ONE
Hell's Rebels Group A comes in with a bunch of cute girls doing cute things and also murdering everything with maneuvers. GM gets overwhelmed by this, party also realizes it isn't fun to roflstop everything. They start questioning what to do about it. After several false starts, 2hu suggests Strike!, to which everyone is slowly warming up to with how it fits the A-team's tone of game compared to the B-team (who are currently attempting to be badass but the dice want to fuck them over, which they seem to masochistically enjoy).

EVENT TWO
Some idiot on the /pfg/ Discord wants to run a 4e game, cool! Except said idiot doesn't know anything about 4e, thinks a bunch of minor things are "broken", and wants to ban ridiculous things (such as Themes, Backgrounds, Warforged, Laser Clerics and anything tied to a setting he isn't running it in even despite everything being setting-agnostic by the rules). Multiple people who know better than him, including 2hu, bitch him out and tell him he needs to smarten up and understand the game he supposedly wants to run. In his traditional response, he whines and bitches that they "convinced him not to run it because clearly he's too stupid and they're oh-so-smarter". But the thing is, he IS stupid. And everyone else WAS in the right.

>>53264889
Sounds like good shit. I'm already in three games, though, so I just can't help you out this time. I need to go cut off my pathfinder games first. I'm fucking done with this game.

If he's too dense to realize it, he's never going to get it through his thick skull unless you make it obvious!

>>53264920
The people bitching about errata is the same people who hated path of war to begin with; they're just trying to make it look bad.

>>53264894
The funny thing is that you think they aren't. The mechanics are different, but what makes combat fundamentally interesting is the same between both.

>>53264825
Isn't the standard "Good" encounter design "1-2 turns for mooks, 4 for average encounters, 6+ for bosses" or have I been living a terrible lie and am a shit GM?

>>53264911
Our last medic had about 6-7 different extra heals due to his archetype. Combat is generally based per encounter. Also, on milestones players lose a surge.
>>53264912
Party all dies in a TPK, of which they've had many close calls.

My only concern about the PoW errata is potential inconsistency with PoW:E.
If I hate the errata, I play without it, no biggie. If I like the errata and want to use it, I might have to blanket ban PoW:E if the systems are different enough or imbalanced against each other enough that logistics become a mess.

>>53264928
Jesus fuck no.

>>53264925
No, I honestly don't appreciate the errata. I would have been fine with curtailing some abuse, but it sounds like it's going too far and my spirit has just been broken by the failure of SoM and the repeated blundering of paizo over the years.

I'll sleep on it, but I'm pretty much fucking out.

>>53264943
What is your problem with the errata? Tell me in plain english

>>53264925
I'm playing a twf warlord and worried that he'll be gutted. I'm not in sky is falling mode yet, but i'm pretty fucking sure i'll have to remake him at the least.

>>53264943
Why would you expect anything out of Paizo when it was obvious from like, the second alpha playtest packet that they were a shitshow? It's not exactly 5E, where people who liked the playtest got bait and switched.

>>53264921
I'll make it obvious the next time we play together

>>53264952
Thrashing Dragon is hardly, if at all, getting changes. If anything, it's probably going to get buffed because it's already super-limited in what it does.

>>53264959
I can see the 3rd level stance being nerfed or something which is most of my damage.

>>53264956
Not him but my experience with Pathfinder has always been that it gets worse as system mastery increases. There's this hot spot where you KNOW how to play the game, but you haven't delved into optimization or meta-game yet where everything is great and you enjoy all your options, then afterwards you start to realize which ones are a trap and how badly your strategy can fuck you in a long game.

>>53264951
It's not going to cover the problems that need fixing, like most initiators still being limited in utility, save-based maneuvers rapidly decaying, the ability to swap maneuvers being stunted and forcing you to game your picks, or certain archetypes being too good. It's also going to nerf some things I liked, too.

So forget it, I think I just gave my last fuck today

That's because you avoided landmines while learning the game. Let me tell you, I can count on one hand the amount of RPG experiences less fun than playing a level 8 S&B Fighter in 3.0 with a Druid in the party while we fight CR8+ stuff.

Doing 1d8+9 per swing against 80 fucking HP is not fucking acceptable and it's even less acceptable when you're not even hitting all the time. I flat out refuse to play a game with that level of damage ever again.

Furfag Augunas actually made a pretty sweet remake with the Unchained Ninja.

What tier are the 6th level initiator archetypes?

>>53265109
What? Fuck no, it's amazing for anyone who even has a passing interest in intrigue.

>>53265184
usually around tier 3. I'd say the bad ones go as low as tier 4.

>>53265176
Still [citation needed]

>>53265179
Got a link to that?
>>53265184
Generally the same tier as they were for their normal class, with the exception of Hidden Blade and Myrmidon being outright-better than the other archetypes. The logic being that Fighter and Rogue are pretty bad, so they get their archetype for "cheaper" than it should cost them in class features.

>>53265184
Usually Tier 3/4

you are a moron on multiple levels, dude.

>>53265191
If intrigue is what you're interested in, the DC 15 sense motive to notice someone being dominated makes using it pretty tricky.

>>53265387
To answer the question on that thread, because it's a good one:
I had one GM who was such a fedora that he eliminated all Gods from the setting except for just not-Christianity that he could constantly shit on. God Encounters: 0

I had another GM who was fucking OBSESSED with playing with himself, so we were basically getting led along through his very important cosmology and made to sit around while his Gods all yelled at each other.
God Encounters: Too many.

I've yet to have a happy medium, really.

Steelfist commando, how do I make a good one? I want to punch shit and be a brawler, but useful and with good damage.

>>53265355
I'm not actually bothered by early threads and I really don't care about OP pictures one way or another, but come on, you left the fucking pastebin out.

Not quite a deity, admittedly, but at one point my character got marooned on an island. She only got off because while visiting a river, an unearthly fog rolled up and a ferryman cloaked in dark robes came to the shore, with the offer that he'd take her back to civilization, so long as she paid him all the coin on her at the time; twelve gold and four silver. He was very specific about that number.

the GM really set the ambience for his visit well. It was spooky as shit.

>>53265432
That sounds truly awful, Anon. I hope one day you have a nice GM that lets you meet a brave god or goddess that understands Justice!

>>53265505
Wow! Was that DM known for setting good scenes like that? That sounds pretty cool.

>>53265542
Hopefully. Then again, the worthy Gods favor those who come prepared. You gotta build up to the point where you're worth their personal attention.

But really, wouldn't any PC worth their salt prove that? Unless you're actively being a dick or a weenie, the kind of excellence that lets you throw down with monsters should attract some notice from on high, and a big deific thumbs-up.

>>53265558
he's usually average at best, but he plans specific scenes well in advance, and takes the time to make them perfect before popping them out. so usually it's a pretty average game, then he hits the music, sets the lighting just right, and speaks a prepared speech full of memorable description.

I feel like he'd be an awesome GM if he was better at predicting his players, but he's not so great at improv, and as a group we push him a bit hard in that direction.

It should! At the very least the minor heralds, demigods, and other lesser divinities should be sent to you or notice you of their own accord, without a doubt.

Depending on what you guys are playing cutting of that characters hand is basically a huge death sentence. And unless hes the tough it out type hes just gonna reroll so yeah you kinda killed his character in his eyes or at least severely gimped him.

Interesting dynamic. Has your group considered planning things with him in advance better? It's important for everyone to work together in RPGs, and that cuts both ways!

On the other hand, that's a good way to make enemies. But with enemies comes more adventure!

Even as a good guy, you could end up with Urgathoa's herald as a dedicated rival or tempter!

Nobody FUCKS with Party Skull!

>>53265643
Sadly, it's not a dynamic we've been able to achieve. We're all friends, and we try to work together, and while our GM's not the best at improv, he's a great storyteller.

We don't have the best cohesion, sadly. Even when one of us is trying to follow the obvious plot hooks, at least one or two of us is either being completely oblivious or intentionally random. Just how it goes, sometimes.
