Have you ever made a character who was a ripoff/expy of another character from media? Or from folklore/mythology? Tell us about it.

StarToad get salty that the desert themed game has '''intrigue''', mad he won't get to role play with any of the cuties that have applied.

While that would be amazing, no, just a tiefling. She's been wearing a big headcover/veil and using Disguise, but if people get curious she might have to take it off. However, she does have a magic item at the moment which lets her use Alter Self, and I wanted to know if it would be effective. There's no real casters in the party so I doubt there will be any magic shenanigans about it, but I've never tried to do this kind of thing before.
>>
>>53693123
It gives you like a +20 to disguise or something iirc
>>
>>53693123
Alter Self just flat out makes you a different race. It's a polymorph. If you're not using it to impersonate someone, it's practically impossible to tell unless someone's got magic to see it with. Even then, you could probably bluff it away as some powerup magic if you're good enough.

Alter Self is pretty short duration though, so bear that in mind. Disguise Self lasts longer if you're confident in your Illusion DCs.

Celebs have full schedules now, but can't deal with the spotlight shining on anybody but them. They like to pretend that they're bringing notoriety to the game by attaching their names to it, but all they're doing is harming the games by bringing down the level of discourse to pure memes.
>>
>>53693282
Making characters is probably the biggest reason to choose Pathfinder over another system, for a lot of people it's their favourite part. We've reached the point where there're enough games here that a large chunk of that building community can't fit more into their schedule, but they still want to make the characters.

I personally have notepads and sheets filled with apps I've never posted that I wanted to build as a personal exercise, but for a lot of people just writing them up then holding them feels like a waste, so we see these apps uploaded, either to get attention whore, to get critique, or just so they don't feel like all of their efforts were wasted.

Oh hush, many of the memesters have stopped posting characters entirely, like the people we've been waiting to see app up for Ensoulment or JttW. It isn't happening.
>>
>>53693497
Ensoulment's abnormally long app time is the cause of all these memes.
>>
>>53693525
Did any of our famous meme games have less than a month for applications?

I have a request, anons. It is a silly request, but one I hope is taken to heart.

When this thread is over and done, can we see if we can go one whole thread without a mention of Ensoulment, JttW, Blingmaker, RotJR or PLD? Just one thread, I want to see if we shake this poison from just one detox.

>>53693525

She played a bouda witch in Shattered Star before her schedule changed; her background was that she had been a slave with magical talent and the shaman of the tribe taught her gnoll witch magic.

And gnolls were part of the setting so she wasn't shoving gnolls in someone's homebrew, unlike GNOLLPOSTER dipshit.

Wist and Sleep's JttW apps are respectful to the tone of the game and have clear effort behind them. They would make fine characters if they got in.

The real insults are apps like Rory's, which are pure memes with [WIP] slapped on. Seriously, what's the point of a blank app besides attention grabbing?

Let's talk about Legendary Kineticist Archetypes/KoP content. I see them recommended a lot.

What have you played from these books? What do you want to play?
>>
>>53693570
RotJR's app period was one month.

November and December were the unofficial period where the GM said "I'm not accepting any apps yet, but if you guys REALLY want to I'm not gonna stop you".
>>
>>53693693
Never played anything from them because I have no interest in the kineticist as a class.
>>
>>53693679
I don't understand why anyone ever posts an app before it's a "release candidate"
>>
>>53693714
Why not?
>>
>>53693693
Legendary Kineticist is pretty much just straight up better. I haven't tried any of the KoP stuff, but it's got some really nice feats, plus a few archetypes are super cool like Kinetic Lancer going full DRAGOON.
>>
>>53693679
Wist's and Sleeps are characters that legitimately might be in the running, had they not had scheduling conflicts.
>>
>>53693590
For reals, let's talk about the Mystic playtest.

http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?526531-Dreamscarred-Press-Divergent-Paths-Mystic-playtest-thread&p=22067252

Honestly, this feels like very unpolished work. I like the mystic but all these archetypes are either uninspired, clunky, or both.

What worries me most is the author comment:
>Please post all feedback here - I'm looking for balance of mechanics, issues or things that should be removed/added/replaced, wording issues, rules loopholes I've missed, and basic grammar of course.
>I feel pretty solid about most of this work

As if he doesn't actually want to change anything, he just wants proofreaders.

Has anyone else read the playtest? Did anything stand out as good or bad?
>>
>>53693679
>Wist and Sleep's JttW apps are respectful to the tone of the game and have clear effort behind them. They would make fine characters if they got in.

Wist is a piece of shit that submitted an app for a campaign she knows she can't get into, purely to remain a meme and run literary laps around the competition. You know what happens when LeBron James goes to visit an Elementary School basketball lesson and starts slamming dunks on the boys? You don't say he's pretty good, you call him a cunt.
>>
>>53693679

Hey, they just asked what we wanted to discuss, not whether it was possible to do so. And I could have been pleasantly surprised if i had been wrong about the review not being out.

My next plan is to make a race of sexless, androgynous gem people who are construct type.
>>
>>53693882
He did the same with Ensoulment and will probably continue to do so with any game that gets popular here. He's pure shit and isn't afraid to let everybody know it.

You singled out Wist. I wonder why is that?
>>
>>53693862
>Wist is too good so it was rude of her to be good in public because it makes me look bad because I can never match up

Are... are you shooting yourself in the foot there?

>>
>>53693926
>>53693938
I singled out Wist because she's been getting the lion's share of attention for being a "good app" which doesn't even matter because it's as much an app as something from Dragons 1 would be right now.

>Is this some sort of backhanded compliment to her?

Is Wist's writing even THAT much better than other applicants?

I mean, I don't doubt it's good, but I don't think there's a meaningful difference in writing between Wist's writing and even someone like DHB or 2hu's writing.

At this point we're just fellating Wist out of reputation. We look at a Wist app and think it's good because of Wist, not because of its actual merits.
>>
>>53694000
Nah, I think that's just a natural consequence of making a character indirectly inspired by the harsh reality of 3DPD.
>>
>>53693790
Which app has the worst writing, if you ignore Rory?
>>
>>53694032
I'm not familiar with 2hu, but DHB's writing is held up high in the very first place so it's not really a great comparison.

Fact of the matter is there's a line drawn between the strong appcrafters and the weak appcrafters, and Wist might only end up falling in the middle of the former, but she's topical so if I'm going to personality post at all I'll probably default there since I'm not sure who would rather not be memed.
>>
>>53694084
Why is Wist topical if she's middle-of-the-pack?
>>
>>53694000
I took it as more of a joke about weebs in general rather than being directed at the thread itself.

>>53693790
I tried making something similar to the force mystic a while back, but Int based and with a more traditional recovery method. Mixed feelings about that becoming thing.
>Noetic
I don't really see the point of this class. Since it's pretty trivial to say "My E.Flux stuff/Animus is psionic anyway" and I've never been a huge fan of surging/Enervation mechanics. I probably need to take a closer look at it.
>Sage
Seems fluffy, but I can't really figure out why people would want this. Wis based knowledge botting is 'meh'.
>Shade Tamer
This is a really, really cool archetype. Though what is basically free animate dead seems dubious balance wise. Even then it makes me wish I could put up with the Mystic's recovery method.
>Wandslinger
Not a super huge fan of WBL mancy(another reason I don't like mystics). Subbing animus for wand charges is probably a bit on the strong side too. I'd be wary of this archetype just like the shade tamer.
>Animus surge
Oh lordy, I could have some fun with this in some gestalt games. I might try to theory craft with this later on.

https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5076316/applications/?pageforid=5079305#post-5079305

This app seems and feels so... Manufactured. It doesn't have any thought put into it for the setting, the writer hasn't even read any of the FAQs, and the background is so god-awfully generic. Why are all roll20 rando apps like this?

>>53694174
>Why are all roll20 rando apps like this?
Because they're shotgunning applications for everything, they don't have time to tailor them to the setting.

>>53694174
The problem is this. Most R20 apps aren't actually "writing contests" in the way we do them. They want to know stuff about YOU as a person, and your playstyle. They look for someone who can MAKE a character that'll fit with their setting/group/story, rather than a character that fits it. Also, you seldom have as much setting info as most of our games do.
>>
>>53694032
>>53694084

Wist's strength is that she takes silly meme ideas (literal bed, 'collectives lol', and dad memes) and then manages to ground them into a solid app that works on a level beyond the meme value.

They're fun to talk about because at their core they're memes, but they have the integrity to work long-term.
This is surprisingly similar to DHB's style, but Wist also adds the waifu element which gets more popularity on pfg.

I'm pretty sure it was the GM's fault for saying he'd approve races if they fit in setting (and I'm quoting from his very game info), and then backtracked like an outraged clam when some guy proposed gnolls that, ding-dong, fit desert settings.

Point is he's a whimsical lunatic.

That's just the extrapolation of one or two autists from here. Incidentally they're the same people that screech about them being red flags and RAPE and all that shit that only exists in your head (go ahead find anything in the fucking books)

Gnolls are alright, just like any other race, you just gotta be good enough to play / write them and change stuff here and there if you want.

You know, just like in ANY setting you're playing. With sane people. Not serial memers that hang around here 24/7 to shitpost.

What you need more than the fact that they were literally created by Lamashtu, demon lord of monster rape babbies, and that worshipping her is the predominant culture for gnolls?

Sure, it is Golarion, but it's still the fucking books, shithead.
>>
>>53694687
>Sure, it is Golarion, but it's still the fucking books, shithead.
I mean the lore of one setting doesn't really equate to the lore of another. You guys are quick to defend atheist clerics/paladins despite those being impossible on Golarion.
>>
>>53694537
Because properly played they can be interesting.

In the momsters revisited series, it is interesting that they take slaves, use slaves, but abuse or death of a slave is a much worse crime than theft or on occasion murder is. They hold cowardice in high esteem while being a warrior race, because survival>winning, unlike 90% of the other 'enemy races' that are warrior races who would rather die than lose, or the other coward races which would rather never fight at all. They are, as a race in Pf, not unreasonable; if you are scarier than they are, they will negotiate in good faith, up to a point, but they're definitely not likely to break their bond if you're still around or people as strong as you are stick around.

In other words, they're a fleshed out race with an actual society beyond 'kill, murder, rape, burn'.

I smell insecurities. It's sad when writers try to approach mature and freaky subjects and it ends up making the twelve years old lose their shit because there's a mention of sexual activity. Something that's pretty common in all species and races that tend to procreate mind you.

No? It's literally mechanically established that you don't even need a patron deity to be a cleric, just a "concept". How do you think clerics in Rahadoum work?

Yes, it does.

Are they applying STR to damage but attacking with DEX? Then yeah, it works with TWF; Lethal Grace is actually fantastic for TWFers, because otherwise it'd require a ridiculous amount of dexterity or strength to deal that much damage. A +10 bonus by the end of your career isn't something to ignore.

Yes, but it's stated before that you need a patron deity to be a Cleric/Warpriest/Paladin on Golarion. The closest you get to conceptual deities are clerics of the Child Goddess and Godclaw folks.

I can't tell if you're joking or not. Razmiran priests are literally faking divine magic. The Razmiran Priest archetype is called "False Priest" and they are Arcane.
>>
>>53694795
Razmiran Priests should be required to wear well groomed moustaches so they can twirl them and chortle evilly as they lead people astray.
>>
>>53694728
This.

Sadly, people here made them political. Still can't understand you can actually INTERPRET what's written in the books. I sure do, so my gnolls are probably never gonna be like yours. In the end, just ignore the naysayers and have fun, but if you're asking "why do people care", well, some of us like the race. Why not. I could sell you on my gnolls but ultimately if you prefer dwarves or I don't know, it's your deal.

Objectively, they're useful for filling a roleplay ecosystem that other races don't: for example, that of the survival-based cunning warrior race, that's ultimately more interested into living onto another day than anything. As other poster wrote.
>>
>>53694794
That's not why they are there at all.

It's ILLEGAL to worship anything there. It has nothing to do with casting granted by atheist belief. Razmirans literally do not have a deity, yet they have clerical spells and powers. Paladins and clerics don't have to worship a god, and can just uphold a concept, by RAW, to gain spellcasting.

Avowed's pretty good in its currant state, its biggest problem right now is just that... Well, the devs aren't really hanging around anymore, so the people in the thread have a harder time giving feedback when they catch a dozen little issues, meaning the playtest just feels like it's dragging on and going nowhere. The GitP and Paizo threads are always dead save for one or two posters after an update, which means without an update they get no feedback from them. Hell, v14 took how long to actually hit, after the changes therein were talked about for WEEKS beforehand?

The "gutting" is a meme. I do sort of feel like completely removing, rather than reworking, Spirited Swordsmanship was a mistake, but maybe it'll make a return one day.

It just feels like they could be replaced by any intelligent monster race, or replaced wholly by just a race of dog-like-people or whatever else. This dodges all the nasty hyena-ness (including the weird penis thing) while keeping the basic theme (half-animal people with their own culture).

They could, but that would also change the canonically described version of them. When you say gnoll here, you get a distinctly different ideal of the concept than you would on a 5e thread, for example. Same with orcs - everyone knows orcs are warmongering hate machines, which could easily be filled by dozens of other races. Hobgoblins are seriously underused in Pf, in my opinion.

I like gnolls because I'm a fucking pervert, their cultural differences aside, unlike gnoolposter, whose like for them is strictly mechanical.

Oh no, you want the hyena-ness. You want the carrion-eating, harsh-land dwelling, extreme adaptability, insane biting strenght, huge social intelligence.The pseudo-penis bullshit is just the extremists on either sides. I never saw why I had to give a shit about it when I played or wrote gnolls myself.

Though I find it funny to make it an injoke sometimes, as I imply "do gnolls have pseudos" is a question for both other races, and the male gnolls themselves.

And that's it. Just like everything else, any more than that is fade to black. Literally, we've seen quite worse in the past weeks.

Aaaahh... I actually do like them as a matter of design. "Mechanical" if you mean roleplay, yeah, but for me what really matters in a race is the concept; rule of cool, that sort of stuff. And I tend to prefer beast-creatures to straight up humans because you can do plenty of cool, exotic design stuff with them. Humans don't have a long neck and a furry mane, for example.

>They don't like a race based on african malamutes

Well am I disappointed.

Litterally, it's just that old D&D mythos took the hyena's shitty reputation and said "durr, let's make them the worst guys because we need evil fodder for the heroes to kill" and slapped the whole cruel-and-crazy bs on the race, with the littlelest amount of thought put into giving anything beyond that such as a culture that makes sense.

And that's part of why I like them, actually. They're underdogs. They're considered trash by everyone, hated. But so each time I use them, I reverse that. WHY would they not act like you portray them, if you're so hell-bent on giving them shit? They don't got to cater to you, to your stupid morality, your pompous judgements. Gnolls just take and they eat and they laugh about it because fuck you.

Better than retarded "fuck up everything" orcs or "we're small and crazy" gobs? I'd dare say so. And yet both these races got plenty of willing folks to do them differently. Gnolls?

HURR DURR DEGENERATE RAPE REEEE

>it always feels like he stops working too early
This is the thing that I've been struggling to put my finger on. His apps are always good, but just good not great. They always feel unfinished, like (and it pains me to say this because of the bullying that's been going on) NPCs waiting for the actual players to inform them of how their backstory should have gone.

Serena had a lot of potential, but was definitely plagued by having a very similar base to one of the 'god tier' apps. There are things Hecate could have done to differentiate her, but I think that would have dogged the character throughout the app process. Gaius is a good new start, but please keep at it instead of throwing in the towel too early.

So outside of Serena, and that one LoBaF app we bullied him into doing right before apps closed, what other apps felt unfinished?

>>53695104
I think Gaius is real solid already and has no actual problems. Writing is good, shows personality, backstory gives enough to work with without overstaying its welcome and the philosophy functions. Problem is that real solid might not keep up as more apps roll out. I'm part of the "best apps get picked" camp, and a lot of the time that means good apps lose because there are great ones.

Really not sure what to advise but there's got to be mileage to be drawn out over the remaining weeks. I think the player and character has good potential.

>Gnolls are capable hunters, but are far happier to scavenge or steal a kill than to go out and track down prey. This laziness impels them to acquire slaves of whatever type is available, whom they force to dig warrens, gather supplies and water, and even hunt for their gnoll masters.
>Creatures other than hyenas and other gnolls are either meat or slaves, depending upon the temperament of the tribe. Even a dead or fallen comrade is a fresh meal for a gnoll, who might honor a distinguished tribe member with a brief prayer, or thoroughly cook one that has died of a wasting disease, but otherwise view a dead gnoll as little different from any other creature. The more “civilized” gnolls do not eat their prisoners, but instead keep them as slaves, either to defend or improve their lair or to trade with other tribes or slaver bands.
>Gnolls relish combat, but only when they have the obvious advantage of numbers. In other situations, they prefer to avoid combat except as a means of winning a kill from another hunter, or as a clever ambush to bring down a large meal. These hyena-men see no value in courage or valor, instead preferring to flee once it becomes clear that victory is not possible, noting that it is better to run with tail tucked away than to lose one’s tail entirely.

http://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Gnoll
>Gnolls, or hyenafolk, are a humanoid race renowned for their tremendous laziness, and fierce savagery.
>Gnolls are devout followers of Lamashtu, the Mother of Monsters and reverence for her suffuses nearly all aspects of life. This worship somewhat conflicts with gnolls' society's misogynistic tendencies but also strictly defines the female's role: they are either holy priestess or sacred mother, if they are neither then they are sacrificed to appease Lamashtu.
Lamashtu is literally the goddess of rape.

Only of you are literally retarded. She's the goddess of monsters and deformity and only a handful of cults in Khatepesh specifically "supernaturally impregnate" people which doesn't necessarily include rape.

Lamashtu being "lol rape" goodness is a meme.
>>
>>53695545
I w-wonder if we'll be allowed to murder the guest stars?
>>
>>53695506
I still cannot help but notice the only part ever pertaining to rape was written by you.

Just admit you got jackshit but your own fantaisist extrapolations.

>blah blah blah they're savages in the book
So are orcs
Kobolds are also all evil in that book
Doesn't stop people with brains to actually change that around a little.

In fact there's been more official mention of rape about orcs making half-orcs than orcs.

Which again, doesn't fucking matter, because people who actually PLAY campaigns and stuff, they tend to use their imagination to make up a fictional world, so, they sort of interpret those guidelines more or less liberally. You know? Like, what RPGs are supposed to be about. You should try one.

She isn't though. That aspect is something /pfg/ pretty much fabricated on it's though.
>>
>>53695567
Lamashtu isn't even a gnoll-specific deity. She appears to them with a jackal's head, not a hyena's; which is why when I play gnolls, who always end up being heretics, they come from groups and families that see her as a false idol, a betrayer.

>Lamashtu is basically described as a Zerg goddess / Tzeentch
>You can theorize that all gnolls under her influence are twisted and warped versions of the original, real deal, that's based on simple evolved hyenas (with perhaps a drop of demon blood) and should generally be neutral, healthy, and have girls stronger than males

This above is how I do it and it's not fucking hard.

>>53695587

Perhaps what he needs is hooks actually. Gaius has goals and personality, but he might benefit from either having plans like C3 does, or relationships like Jericho.

Mentioning another shaker app for the sake of discussion, Rintaelle doesn't really have compelling hooks or relationships but she's extremely inviting for player character interactions. I can't think of a way for Gaius to do that without compromising his characterization, but it's an interesting strength for a character to have that I think more people should consider when building.

in the deeper parts of the underdark, peculiar crystals grow into humanoid forms, and their matrices take on the mental existence of living beings. While they are crystalline, they are not entirely homogeneous stone or actual cystal, and their bizarre physiology contains a clear blood and they must ingest both food and drink to survive, as well as sleep. Neither construct nor elemental, these strange crystalline creatures are more akin to psychically animated substances, bearing a mind and soul formed from resonance with the astral or ethereal planes. Though sexless and androgynous, they have a peculiar allure, and are graceful - one might even say cautious - in their movements. Though not strong, they are hardy, their peculiar natures making them resistant to disease, aging, and illnesses. They are asexual and reproduce parthenogenically.

She literally rapes men then uses their semen to create embarrassing monsters.

Part of her church's hostilities against other religions is "horrifying campaigns of torture and humiliation intended to break their enemies' spirits".

They "seek to tear the blinders from the eyes of the world and show them the nightmare of nature, the writhing and endlessly fecund truth."

The phrases "I fill the wombs." and "I will spread the Mother’s seed. If the blind cannot be taught to see, their children can."

They have a special magic item specifically for hunting down fertile people to fuck.

FFS dude, it's creepy just how often Paizo emphasizes it. They just don't like to write down the word "rape" very often.

Astomoi?

>>53696549
Nah. Kyoot's player is there too, so it's pretty instantly autistic desu
>>
>>53696542
Show, don't tell.

So my witch lost her left hand, GM ruled that any standard spell that requires a somatic component will require a caster level check to succeed but we can't seem to decide on how the hexes would work, the book doesn't specify that they are casted like standard spells and I say they are mainly mental and therefore should not be restricted by the handicap.

Don't drag Sleipnir into this, he was conceived after Loki spent several months as a horse
It's like the succubus/half-succubus mechanic
he was the original horsefucker

>>53696568
>my character's name is a pun
Why, just why.

It's just a giant flag redder than Stalin's own underpants.
>>
>>53696580
Hexes are just supernatural abilities. They don't need verbal or somatics.

Also, your witch can still cast just fine by RAW if she has a free hand.
>>
>>53696580
>>53696611
Your GM is bullshit. As long as you have ONE hand free you're good for spells, and hexes can even be cast in animal form so you literally don't need to give shits.
>>
>>53696575
Go read the ISWG and Inner Sea Gods. I'm not going to spoon feed some dense motherfucker who gets all their information from the wiki.
>>
>>53696666
Such a waste of quads, and it was all to say
"I-I won't give any evidence to what I'm claiming!"

Just fucking stop with the whole gnoll rage already your whole argument is autistic and has no point existing even if you were right.
>>
>>53696580
You shouldn't have any penalties to casting at all, you just can't cast spells while holding something in your hand. Hexes should be totally unaffected, you could still use them even if you were just a torso and a head.

So, thought I'd actually post and try and learn things up, if for nothing else to attempt to reduce shitposting about it? I have no illusion of making the best anything ever, but geez. Since I don't want to fuel the fire, here's what pretty much happened, that I know of.
A player wanted to play a gnoll, and went with certain ideas how it should work. Fair. Not the first person to ask me that and they didn't get refused outright.
I had other ideas how gnolls ended up in the setting. Also fair.
He/she rather vocally disagreed how the gold should be in the setting.
We argued, both acted probably more rude than we should have, apologized and parted ways as civilized people. That was the last contact that I've hadand the story as far as I know ended there.
By what I've read, neither myself nor or the player have actually posted about it since then , so I find it odd that this discussion is still going on. Why?
>>
>>53696707
The books are right there in the trove. Go read them. Stop being a lazy piece of shit.

Lamashtu is just another boring rape god and gnolls are generic chaff for low level adventurers to cut down inbetween doing things that are important. But somehow, you're worse.
>>
>>53696605
Player is probably a retarded attention seeker.
>>
>>53696741
Pics, GM. We need log to slam the gnollposter even more.
>>
>>53696741
BUT IS IT THE BEST SANDBOX EXPERIENCE THERE IS?

TRUST ME FOLKS
>>
>>53696741
Can't you just... Ask him about it then?
>>
>>53696788
I don't really see a point in asking them since i have no reason to believe they're at all involved with this entire continuing discussion.
>>
>>53696611

>>53696714
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Tbh it was this or death, I'm a level two witch with 7hp who was pitted against a mimic in a labyrinth with an anti-magic field surrounding it.
>>
>>53696741
>I find it odd that this discussion is still going on. Why?
Because it's honestly more fun/interesting than your game, desu.
>>
>>53696836
>Tbh it was this or death, I'm a level two witch with 7hp who was pitted against a mimic in a labyrinth with an anti-magic field surrounding it.
Why would you play with someone like this?
>>
>>53696836
Only having one hand is enough of a penalty. It prevents you from using metamagic rods or otherwise doing ANYTHING with your hand and casting at the same time. There's no reason to heap some made up bullshit on top of that.

In any case, just go get a Regenerate cast for you when you have the time. It only costs 910 gp.
>>
>>53696782
Considering it was never planned to be a full on out sandbox campaign, I honestly wouldn't know.
I would be rather satisfied with the players and myself having a good time with it.
>>
>>53696836
Seems your GM hates you. Why the fuck would he use an anti-magic field against a lv2?
>>
>>53696741
>apologized and parted ways as civilized people.
So wait

If that nigga's telling the truth

NEITHER him nor the so-called gnollposter were involved in ANY side of this stupid argument?
>>
>>53696910
People tend to act civilized when they are identifiable. Here, not so much.
>>
>>53696910
Are you seriously surprised by anonymity causing this kind of shit?
>>
>>53694172
Where the hell is that a power?
>>
>>53696934
Regardless of the truth of what you're suggesting

It at least seems like they both don't want this shit to keep up

I were the Chalice GM, I'd do the same.
But you're also implying you can't leave it to the random anons themselves to ruin their reputation in their name.
>>
>>53696880
>Seems your GM hates you.
I mean.... You're not wrong.
>>
>>53696986
I honestly just wanted to clear the situation up. This has been going on for a while, and a lot of name-calling came out of it for, at least as I see it, no real reason.
If people find my game to be shit on its own merit? Perfectly fine.
>>
...So in other news, here's that low-res picture of a jumping ferret.
>>
>>53697125
You're actually making everyone shut up so thank you for that.
>>
>>53697191
The only reason anyone comes here is to bitch, though. The thread will be silent for another 30 minutes without flaming arguments going on.
>>
>>53697247
>Horrible arguments are better than peace and quiet
>>
>>53697268
>just starting an argument about arguments
WELL IF YOU DON'T CARE
>>
At least it's not politics. In any case, I hope this was enough to clear things up.
>>
>>53696833
PM your crush!

>>53696067
They are mostly like celtish and irish druids and barbarians. So not so much anglo-saxon, but hypernaturised scottish and irish
>>
Current GM wants to do 5e, not PF. Sell me on why I should try to convince him otherwise.
>>
>>53698249

PF is actually fun.
>>
>>53698338
>5e doesn't have psions
wry
>>
>>53698249

Far less options for both the players and DMs to work with, less adventure modules to choose from, less developed organized play, less settings to play in (5e's core setting is strictly Forgotten Realms never forget that fact!), no scifi version coming out soon to play with, arguably less balanced if only because there are less options to level the playing field with, finally 5e is extremely milquetoast and doesn't really excel at anything.
>>
>>53698249
5e is better.
>>
>>53698249
20 level 1 commoners can beat a 20th level fighter, a guy who should be completely legendary.
