Hunter or Ranger? When? Why?
>>
>>53307005
Hunter gets a bigger and stronger animal companion. It will have more meat to eat up.

Slayer or Ranger for TWF?

>>53307043
The difference between the Ranger animal companion and full Druid animal companion is seriously just one feat with no other prerequisites- Boon Companion.

Why is there a Protean bloodline for sorcerers?

Was playing a kensai magus, and my character got beat the fuck down in their first session. I'd assumed they were dead, but the GM let me know I'd just been captured.

Woke up chained to the wall, with her coat lying on a nearby table. After a few minutes of interrogation, they made the mistake of leaving her alone, with her arms exposed and in sight. I'd been allowed to use Complete Arcane's rules for tattooed spellbooks.

A few rounds' worth of frantically casting acid splash at her chains later, she managed to grab for her coat and rip open the lining to pull out her emergency spellbook, study dimension door, fly, and feather fall, and teleport right out of the dungeon after casting the first two of those.

The problem then was that they had a whole mess of flying sentries. What happened next was basically pic related until she just could get to the right spot and feather fall her way down through a magic barrier the summoned pursuers couldn't pass.
>>
Wait, why did the Lore Warden eat a nerf?
>>
>>53307294
Proteans don't want to destroy everything, they just want to make it so that nothing ever has to have a permanent shape.

But what the fuck do you mean by "creative"? Nobody said Sorcerer bloodlines had to be themed around being creative.
>>
>>53307294
I mean I can see an Erodaemon summoned or geas'd or something and getting porked, it specifically mentions that they're very patient and will play the long game if it results in maximum heartbreak.

Cuz paizo hates martials having fun
>>
>>53307344
He means how did they have kids. The creation of life is literally antithetical to Daemons, who represent death in its myriad forms.

You can get sorcerous powers without an ancestor having sex with something. An outsider or its plan just has to have significantly affected you for your powers to be linked to that outsider type or plane.

>>53307344
Right, they want to return the universe back to it's original chaotic state. Don't know about you but to me that sounds pretty much like a death sentence for anything that isn't a Protean.

And I'm talking about the Protean/Daemon's being creative. Not sorcerers.
>>
>>53307407
It's still a death sentence for proteans, because the existence of an energy gradient is a prerequisite for explicit things to exist.
>>
>>53307385
It's right there in the fluff text. Sorcerers in Pathfinder have received their powers just from surviving avalanches or storms, or because someone made a deal with an outsider. Avowed, you might recall, is 3pp. It's not expected to interfere with the fluff for other classes. If you weren't being autistic, you'd probably realize that.

What about the fauchaurd?

1d10, 18-20, reach and trip

For the small price of a 3k ioun stone you get access to this balling reach weapon that's super abusable with a stalker->landsknecht for a 14-20 crit with pre-errata pummeling style strike useable on AoOs with your super high dex you have a ton of them

>>
>>53308193
the basis of the build, which should in theory function even with current DA (unless i'm missing something)

Is bladed brush for 1-handed fauchard, DA for dex to damage, and landsknecht for 1.5x dex.

Then keen the fauchard, combat reflexes and then levels in landsknecht for maximum crit fishing.

Now, other than scarlet throne and mithril current, and the associated mixed combat feats. Anything obvious to be included?


Yikes, i just realized how many feats this build takes, even with elephant in the room taxes.

weapon focus, DA, combat reflexes, quick draw, mixed combat, bladed brush

>>53308303
That seems a decent option, though more defensive focused than i'd want. I suppose I could replace one of the disciplines with Broken Blade or something if I go with that, right? Not familiar with PoW that much.
>>
>>53308274
>>53308193
>>53308146
Actually, outside of the stalker thing bringing a keen fauchard to 14-20, I don't think the 3k investment for +10% crit is worth it compared to just using a bardiche.
>>
>>53308380
10% more crit is a lot when if any of your crits confirm they all crit. That's the whole appeal of Strike of the Silver crown.
>>
>>53308464
True, but this now seems like a build that takes way to long to do a really strong thing, aka a gimmick or meme build.
>>
>>53308364
I didn't mention broken blade as its going to be errata-ted soon and may not be what you want to use. Instead, I suggest Fool's Errand, for CC-control type stuff a HERO of JUSTICE would use, or chimera soul for natural attacks and how amazing those are for offense.
>>
>>53308481

By level 6-7 you're still getting 1.5x dex to damage on a reach weapon with a 14-20 or 15-20 with full initating with a full BAB prestige class with high amounts of dex synergy

Hardly a meme build in my books

level 6-7 takes too long to get rolling though. If you aren't doing your thing by 5th, the build is trash.
>>
>>53308486
>>53308364
Note that Broken Blade will probably still be okay post-errata, it just won't have absurd damage boosts anymore. It will most likely still have stuff like maneuver boosting.
>>
>>53308512
Chimera Soul gives you natural attacks, and you can use natural attacks along with your weapon attacks at only a -5 penalty, so you're effectively multiplying your damage output.
>>
>>53308549
> It will most likely still have stuff like maneuver boosting.
So trash then. Just like tempest gale.
>>
>>53308549
The general feel is that they're overnerfing a lot of things, so I wouldn't count on Broken Blade being usable.
>>
>>53308522
Doesn't sound very justice-y then.

If you just want to murder people as fast as possible, broken blade, primal fury, full attack with boosts like bronze knuckle and kill everything.

Still take silver crane for flavor though, maybe a couple fool's errand. Do note that fool's errand's 9th level maneuver is literally Wish's copy a spell but for maneuvers. Any 8th level or lower from any discipline, maybe even the Prc exclusive maneuvers.

Definitely look at Fool's Errand. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/208645/Divergent-Paths-Fools-Errand

It has a gimmick where you can inflict a "locked" condition, which reduces enemy movement to 0 for as long as the enemy is locked by you, and you can spend some of your movement to drag multiple enemies you have locked without needing to roll for a combat maneuver.

It also has a lot of things that mix weapon attacks and unarmed attacks in the same action, if you like doing that.

>>53308523
If you start as a human warlord, build is mostly functional (as long as you mostly ignore mithril current strikes), by level 1. DA, weapon focus and bladed brush.

Level 3 can be quick draw, level 5 is whatever, level 6 is mixed combat and another with your alt FCB, and level 7 is landsknecht.

Viable enough yet?

Justice can either be about protection of the weak and innocent, which you're describing, but it can also be retribution and paying back unto the wicked. The latter is what I want to do. There's everything 'justice' about being an unrelenting dynamo on the battlefield that seeks to actively punish the wicked.

So I have been thinking of my build benchmarks. Basically the levels I consider relevant for when builds should come together.

The 2nd seems a lot more better as far as having 'builds' ready to go. Level 3 imo is where I would prefer to start for low level and if you can't build around that then you don't have a good build at all.

Fools Errand is a mess though, a nonsensical bunch of not!grapple stuff that works on Reflex saves and has no satisfying fluff or crunch as to how it works. Some fuck wants to Lock me? Fine, I'll eat the fucking AoO and do as I please because all he's got to threaten with is "Imma point muh sword at you so stay still" or some BS about glaring at peoe so hard they stay there, but doesn't run on, say, intimidate like that description should.
>>
>>53308675
Yeah, I'd personally say 3rd is preferable to get the base level stuff, like deadly agility, crucial feats like raging vitality, or pointblank and precise.

5th is when you should have the bulk of the feat chains finished, with gimmicks operable, if not fully up and running.

7th is the last call for any build. If a build needs to pack in feats to just work beyond here, it's a garbage fire.

10-12 should be considered the endgame of a build. Anything else is is a victory lap, and shouldn't be counted on in the process. Too many games end before here for those levels to really weigh in heavily.

Having trouble picking between Armorist and Incanter.
Armorist gives a free Rifle with great enhancements, full BAB, and feats.
Incanter gives fucking amazing magic, that'll allow for lots of utility.

I'm leaning Incanter, since 3/4ths BAB is enough when all your attacks are touch attacks and I'll be able to snap up the item creation feat for making my own magic Rifle.

PoW is the best way to represent this kind of dynamic fighting style, but it needs disciplines that are one-hand only (like ST should be) or else there's no benefit for doing that over THF. Then you can flip the grip on a one-handed weapon as necessary for the maneuver you want to initiate.

Ultimate Warefare and Ultimate Rulership fix a lot of the problems with kingdom building and mass combat. I ran a campaign using them and had a good time with it.

Though my players basically got shat on continuously because the bigger kingdom next door bullied them.

I'm talking about the main city you dipshit. They could still sleep in the mints or whatever. It's not like any of the other buildings really provide anything that a mint couldn't do. They also take up only one space and are pretty cheap on BP

They might die but then we would be at level 11 or so and then we'd be able to turn all of our citizens into liches anyways. Our kingdom are comprised entirely of kobolds and fairies anyways so it's not like it'll make a difference.

They provide an environment not dominated by toxic fumes and saw dust, they provide distribution centers, places of worship, of comfort, of production of things you need to live, places to, you know, make a city functional. There is a reason why even cities that produce nothing but bankruptcies like Las Vegas has facilities that aren't just casinos.

A rifle at level 1, infinite free ammo for whatever firearm I'm using, full BAB early on before to-hit begins to massively out-scale touch AC, and medium armor proficiency.
At level 4 it's a +1 rifle of Distance, a free feat, and Armor Training.
The net cost is 4 talents, since I can make up the two lost caster levels via Magical Knack. I'll be drowning in talents anyways, so that'll be a fine trade.

Minting coinage doesn't mean jack fucking shit if the economy backing it isn't strong, it's why the Aureus was so strong in the Byzantine era until Venetian rats developed the denarii and dominated the market.

We're dealing with a Resource Curse here; the Greenbelt is resource-rich but that means people who build kingdoms around extraction and sale will find their attempts to add "processing and refinement" to that list will be unable to do it, because the cost is just too damn high.

It isn't, but if you want better ones right now you can just suck it up and wait if the Kingmaker game actually makes them better, go scream at JJ until he breaks down crying, grasping at his CG lesbian female PC figurine or make changes to them that make them better.

This isn't a case of realism or preference, by RAW a Realm as large as Wisconsin can't build more than one neighborhood of houses at a time without all other projects crawling to a halt.

Oh, here's something I think everyone would appreciate; Blingmaker DM, you should add resources into the hexes that can be discovered and enjoyed by the Kingdom; some hexes are very fertile and good with farms, or some have gems or dense iron ore!

You can buy them. They're from Legendary Games.

Ultimate Rulership, Ultimate Battle, Ultimate War, Ultimate Factions, and Ultimate Relationships.

These together fix a fuck ton of problems with the kingdom building/mass combat systems. I would not even consider playing kingdom building/mass combat without these.

Have your played ever fucked up badly enough to get caught in the dragon's jaws? Basically when have they fucked up badly enough that they really only have themselves to blame. I have a story.

>party is pursuing a woman who is apparently hunting down old lore
>along the way in a floating citadel that had since crashed on it's side they find two guys
>they're apparently mercenaries
>shoot first ask questions later attitude takes over
>they kill one, the other escapes
>later find out it's a mercenary company hunting down the same woman as them
>decide to let sleeping dogs lie
>the mercenary company is fucking pissed the party killed one of their own in cold blood and have the gall to hunt the same target
>they end up in the same city because the clues lead them in the same direction
>party staying at an inn
>get a note from a young boy saying "I am the captain of the Bloated Toads company, come to the bridge over Gagret River two miles north of town. I wish to discuss possible cooperation."
>party goes "yeah sure, this couldn't possibly go wrong"
>head north, the boy guiding them
>get there, commander sitting on the bridge with his big ole' toad familiar (mauler)
>greets them
>party gets on the bridge
>ambush ensues
>boy was a childlike halfling
>two guys were behind ready to cut them off, commander in front
>the man watching the road some 200ft away come out to give ranged support
>fight becomes 5v4
>the players get beaten unconscious and captured
>they're fucking livid the mercenaries ambushed them when they called them out for cooperation

The fuck did they expect? They walked outside of fucking town to the middle of no where. The mercenaries didn't even expect them to be that stupid and were ready for a location negotiation and moving the ambush.

Did you give them a sense motive?

Congrats on making sure the party will never seek parley with anyone ever.

>>53310566
Sorry, this just sounds like you were a bad dm.
>>
>>53310566
So... you punished them for being murderhobos by attacking them when they decided to stop acting like murderhobos?
>>
>>53310645
>Did you give them a sense motive?
Yeah, both perception and sense motive on the halfling pretending to be a kid.

>Congrats on making sure the party will never seek parley with anyone ever.
They knew they had killed one of the mercenary company's sergeants, not only that but took his stuff and sort of just dumped his body. I don't see how they thought it'd just be hunky dory especially when specifically asked to go far outside of town alone.

>>53310619
>>53310693
What? Should the mercenaries have just said 'Well you killed Robbie, but no hard feelings."? Should the PCs have been willing to just leave town and follow some kid because a note said the mercenaries wanted to work together?
>>
>>53310700
The mercenaries wanted revenge and wanted to juice the party for information. It wasn't about punishing the players, it was about the mercenary's intentions. They didn't even kill the players, just captured them.
>>
>>53310747
I'm just saying that, from OOC perspective, it probably would've been better to handle things differently. For instance, having the commander demand weregild before jumping to trying to capture them not only would have made more sense(attacking a group of unknown capabilities with only small advantage in numbers doesn't sound like the kind of risk an experienced mercenary would take as a first resort - any combat may or may not end with some of your people killed), but would've made for a better scene.
>>
>>53310896
They knew what the party was capable of. Not only did they have a survivor of a fight with them but investigated the party beforehand. So they weren't an unknown threat.

As for weregild that doesn't fix their dead friend unless they can squeeze the party for 25k gp since the party dumped the body in a river so that no one would be able to find it later. Even the finding someone who can cast true res is essentially impossible.
