>>54207944
There would be multiple sources. Rovagug's hunger would certainly make sense. Linking it with one of the Seven Deadly Sins is flavorful, but the Void is also an option. The void is sometimes portrayed as endless hunger, so it works well as tapping into its power. It's probably the most neutral of the sources. I would be open to player input, obviously.
>>54208018
Tomorrow, I'm going out with friends, then hopefully playing Pathfinder all night. Then, I sleep for a few hours and run a Shadowrun campaign that has been on hiatus for 2 weeks because a player was moving. Finger's crossed, last Pathfinder session got cancelled.

I'll check here to see if any interesting games pop up, but I don't have much faith anything will stick out and not be filled with lewds and anime, so whatever.

What about you? Any fun plans?

>>54208087
What exactly do you mean? Like replacing combat rules of PF with those of SF? If you're using all of the SF rules, you're just running SF in a different setting. Which parts are you thinking about porting over?

>>54208087
We don't know how easy it'd be yet, as we don't have access to Starfinder rules until August 17th.

Should be on neutral to good terms, yes. I seem to be in the area that they're going to be headed for, though my solo bit is set "before" the current events of the party, so it looks like I'll have been closer to their location after my solo bit, and lead them back to the stuff I'm doing now.

The book itself lists an example of "Eating a devouring beast out of desperation and being forever changed by it. Like a Mimic."

That's always an interesting look at it. Really eating something you shouldn't have is a very good way to become an Ungermaw.

There are Ungermaws in my campaign, and how they come about varies depending on the Ungermaw. The Tarrasque Spawn of the desert often become Ungermaws because it's just their nature to consume everything, and many try and seek out where their progenitor is imprisoned to try and gnaw him free. The humanoid abominations called the Smiling Elves occasionally become Ungermaws through dark rites to The Lord of Teeth, although they generally prefer Shifters instead. Very rarely a member of a more normal race will be one thanks to either extraplanar corruption, strange rituals, or some freak accident of birth. Its a pretty rare class in the world, and most folk don't even know what an Ungermaw is, but to a select few cults and scholars they are a subject of great interest.

Depends on which of my campaigns, but would probably reserve it for one I'm working up where everyone is gestalted with Henshin Hero (and henshin hero gets adapted to work off the key ability scores of the other class). Then the ungermaw is just a power they get, whether from transforming or being a monster of the week.

I was interested in the talk of a super hero vigilante game. If that anon chooses to run it, I'd be happy to apply. I mostly avoid lewd games, as I've ERP'd with people before, and I generally find it boring. I only do it when I'm drunk now, since it makes me laugh. I'm not fond of ripping anime archetypes wholesale. When somebody goes tsundere or something else, their speech is very... predictable. And it doesn't feel organic. Not to say it's bad, it's just not something I find engaging in roleplay. If apps are leaning more anime, I usually don't bother, since I don't want to be a buzzkill if I get in. For something comic booky, though, I'd be more forgiving, since they're kinda campy anyway.

I hope your friends go see it with you. Sounds like a good time.

The party is ready for them. Plus, this isn't the first time me and my buds dealt with werewolves.

I'm making a tech dungeon delving treasure hunter type for Iron Gods. Mechanically human or android both work well and either could fit the setting pretty nicely. But I'm not too familiar with androids, are they totally emotionless? Normally I imagine treasure hunting rogue-ish types to be very animated.

>>54208135
Posting Hushabye also brings up monstrous races that are usually predators by nature. They have a shark lady of some sort that devours everything in the canal where she lives.

If the campaign is high enough level that you get the power to eat spells, it could actually be considered a form of anti-mage spec ops. Units moving against powerful casters consist of at least 1 Spell Eater. The hunger could be a result of being implanted with some sort of demon parasite that is known to allow the devouring of spells if fed enough to reach the necessary level. There could be side effects to this that affects the personality, ability to empathize, and such. They could be feared for the rumors swirling around about them. I... could get behind this.

>>54208311
No, because I want you to play an Android flamethrower girl in Starfinder.

What's a little cannibalism between friends?

t. Completely Innocent Ungermaw

>>54208362

But does it? I doubt anyone really considers it ERP if you happen to be playing a woman who is sexy, or has a sexual background, or even profession. Human beings are sexual creatures. It's just part of life. But it gets into ERP when acting out sexual scenes is a required part of game play.

If the GM is explicitly asking how close to ERP you're willing to get, that's a pretty clear signal. If the game intentionally pushes sexuality as a core theme, that's another. In those sorts of games, the GM clearly wants someone willing to act it out.

I don't mind that people want that sort of thing. It's just not what I want. I want adventure. Exploration. Stabbing dragons in the neck. Being big god damn heroes... or die trying. Lewd can be a tasty side dish instead.

>>54208459
How foolish of me! I apologize.

Ungermaw will actually struggle with Freedom of Movement until Jotunjaw, which is a bit unfortunate. They have no good way of dealing with it in a timely manner. I sorta wish they had something like the Tetori's ability to surppress or dispel as a Swift or Immediate instead of a Standard, since that would allow them to shut down FoM before the opponent could give them the slip. It makes the Draw Breathe option for consuming more appealing, really. Since you can get them down in one turn. And with Projectile Puke, a dexmaw is actually incredibly viable. You don't need str to damage if you're firing off enough metal to deal 160d6 damage.

You just don't want sex at the table at all? That's a huge part of the human condition that you're putting away. There are ways to use it while not detracting from core game play. Jokes. Flirtation. Fade to black tavern and camp scenes.

>>54208606
> I don't trust /pfg/ to not obsess over sex to the point that it detracts from the core game play.
I'll clarify that I wouldn't trust randoms to do that too. I'd be fine with a group I trust making raunchy comments on occasion because I know that's not where their primary interest in the game and their characters lie.

>>54206478
Pick up war sphere with Battlefield Manipulation drawback and Position Rally, move as an immediate action.
Pick up warp sphere with Self-Only and Emergency Teleport to achieve the same effect.
Or to save spell points, haste yourself with the Time sphere.
Or take a level of incanter with Destruction specialization to get the ability to move 20 feet as a swift action a bunch of times a day.
The time and warp books will probably provide more ways to do it as well. Then you can be mystic assault with your two-hander all you like (or just use a bow).

Is she anything more than just a "militarized sex-bot?" Did the pirates do it because they found the idea hilarious, or was it because they were starved for "warm" bodies on their raiding parties.

Greater Healing is usually the way to go if you're a full caster, as it adds your CL to the amount you heal. Out of combat, you're going to be using Revitalize.

>>54208931

More than likely the pirates needed some extra hands for their raids- and they had recently plundered a state-of-the-art fembot from a convoy- so using their advanced pirate technologies (/s) to add in combat AI and some extra "armor plating" to her, along with removing some of the manners from her AI routines.

They thickened her up, gave her some more chest, and turned the slender, pretty feminine servant-bot into a thick-bodied, bad-mouthed, pirate woman

Sounds like someone could hack into her subroutines and either associate certain activities with certain physical reactions, or maybe just crank up "Anger" to maximum or set "lust" to maximum and "sensitivity" to minimum" and see just how angry this girl can get.

>>54209183
Yes, why wouldn't they? All sorts of command phrases for her, available in an easily accessible text file stored in a data drive implanted in her person which she isn't able to access or change

>>54209237

It's certainly possible. Maybe the pirates associated some common phrases said to her with certain reactions? Such as "real pretty girl" with "get horny" and such? It's not out of the magical realm of possibilities

Well now you guys have got me wanting to run the Starfinder equivilant of PLD.

I'll take dnd if I have to

>>54209237
>>54209173
Just how strong is she, anyhow?
I'm certain there's secure restraints for keeping bots under control, so setting her lust and sensitivity at certain levels could be absolute loads of fun.

>>54209262
>tfw some of her more basic command prompts could be coded into everyday conversation that might come up like 'Shut up' actually silencing her, 'bend over' forcing compliance, and other kinds of fun interactions with a hotheaded fuck machine

>>54209284
What would PLD: Starfinder edition even look like?

I miss when the Starfinderfags had their own thread to jerk off about their shitty ideas

>>54209232
I actually haven't been in that one. Huh. Anyway, LWC or LC are generally shit because of how they work. LWC require multiple GMs and loads of players to be any good because they attract people with shitty schedules, people with lives, and a handful of no-lifers, and somebody needs to be on for any sort of roleplay to happen. If it's dead at certain times, people will show up and wait for something to happen, and nothing happens because they are all waiting, so the aim is to have at least a few people on at all times so players feel they can jump in.

This runs into the problem of no vetting. Anybody that applies can get into most any LWC. I think there's one I was in that vetted, and it still had shitters. And GMs don't want to kick because they may not have the whole story, or kicking may cause others to sour if they felt it was unjustified, which can lead to them dying.

They need a bunch of GMs because they're huge and need constant events, and nobody can run that shit by themselves. This runs into the problem of shitty communication between the GMs and GMs that don't know what the fuck they're doing. This is a HUGE problem, and a lot of the creators of these don't know the fucking rules, thinking they can shanghai some poor sap into doing the heavy lifting for them while it is still "their" game.

You usually come in at level 1, so if you don't get in on the ground floor, you're dealing with people of a higher level than you, and this can cause disputes. A level 15 wizard demands you apologize for walking in front of them, and if you don't, they'll make your level 1 life a living hell.

They L O V E rolled stats, and if you roll shittily, sucks to be you. I know somebody that rolled -2 PB, and they're now stuck with that.

But the biggest reason they usually die is because they're boring after a while. After you've met everybody in town and told them all your ebin backstory... the only thing left to talk about is new stimuli.

>>54209292
Adventuring the known and unknown universe. Getting captured and plowed by space pirates, bedding beautiful aliens, learning all about the biology of extraterrestrial wildlife, etc.

Is it fine to put new players in a level 1 adventure? I'me having trouble finding a good beginner adventure at a higher level

Attributes are going to be absurdly cheap in Starfinder, something like a +4 every four levels and a +1 almost every other level.

If I remember correctly, Paizo wants to move away from obsessing over items to be effective, and more towards the characters themselves being heroic.

>>54209318
If adventures aren't frequent enough, you're just roleplaying talking about nothing. Playing stupid games. Typing out how you tend to your crops or whatever. This gets boring fast. Since there's constant recruitment, eventually you'll get to a level where you can't go on missions with low level characters, so you get left out until the low levels get up to where you are. But then people start to retire their PCs because they want something new to talk about, so you're the only one at a high level. Then you wait longer. It's a constant cycle of nothing ever happening at your level, so you eventually retire or quit the game, since there's nothing to fucking do.

They're cyclical. Decent for staving off boredom for a while, but eventually you'll hit a wall where nothing is happening for your character. Then it's just twiddling your thumbs.

Oh, and because GMs don't kick shitty players, good players that don't want to put up with shitty players eventually leave, and the playerbase just gets worse and worse. Eventually, the game dies because even they don't show up. Then somebody high on nostalgia of the fun they had decides they can do it better, and 3 more LWC pop up. Thus, the cycle begins anew. They're shit. Unless you just want some pointless roleplay to fill the time, don't bother.

>>54209341
Yep. It's certainly a possibility. She'd likely end up with a party after her handler, a sweet young boy, defects and takes her with him as his bodyguard

>>54209292
Setting takes place on an ancient FTL relay station that has grown so large it started collapsing on itself, but still manages to generate atmosphere. Ships can no longer fly in and out of the gate safely, having to take dangerous, circuitous paths through the three dimensional ghetto infested with reavers, bandits, and vagabonds of every sapient race and several non-sapient races.

There used to be a shared hallucination of virtual reality which coordinated the atmospheric nanomachines, but that's been going on the fritz. Now they're rebuilding the station seemingly at random, even corrupting the maco-builders and doing RNA recombination to "heal" injuries with alien DNA.

PCs have to track down the so-called "Void Walkers", strange beings that seem to be echoes of heroes past able to traverse through the remains of the virtual reality, and control the builders and seemingly wield the ancient magics of ages past. Their day-job is ostensibly "handy-men" for the various interstellar gangs jockeying for territory in the area.

>>54209480
B-but yes to which one, anon?

I'm looking at the SoP Fighter archetype War Hero. While the duration of your War totem auras are clear, what isn't clear is how long "greatness" lasts. When you gain greatness, you may activate an aura as a free action, and you don't have to activate your aura on your turn.

This has led me to two interpretations: once you "achieve greatness", you have it until you activate an aura, or alternatively, the moment you gain greatness, you must spend it as a free action, or else it's lost. Any indication as to what the right ruling is?

>>54209602
This is pretty much /d/ though????
We're in the pathfinder thread, on /tg/.
Lurk more

>>54209633
You know what, no, last thread wasn't /d/, last thread was actually a fucking pathfinder thread
Its amazing that the thread gets called /pgg/ and INSTANTLY turns to shit from faggots jerking off to their /d/ tier ideas
Don't you faggots have discord and shit so you can fucking ERP there and jerk off and not in the fucking thread? Holy fuck do it there

But I guess if the fucking 'MUH FALEMTHROWRE FUCKBAWT' is actually Rory, its to be expected, because that stupid fucking sack of shit only has one brain, and its in his lower head. Holy fucking shit why do you ENCOURAGE these cunts?

>>54209598
The ABP is available in one of the blogs that discuss how attributes work. Also, and this is something I'm amazed was never put into Pathfinder, weapons scale in power according to their make and model, not just magic.

It's absurdly simple when you think about it, isn't it? A knock-off laser pistol does less damage than one made by a sterling triple AAA corporation for top dollar clients, even though both are made with quality materials. Extend this to Pathfinder, where a masterforged longsword crafted by the Azlanti does more damage than that well-made longsword by the local blacksmith.

>>54209786

If Tuv is that smart it's guaranteed. It's mutually beneficial since Vult is a top-tier attention whore and using his shit homebrew in a game would be cherry on the reacharound. If it happens, we'll never stop hearing about that game despite the fact that nobody not involved gives a single fuck about it.

That's a big if, though. Tuv is dumb as a rock.

>>54209691
Vult basically tailor made Tuv's fetish as far as I can tell

>>54209814

>>54209832
Tuvarkz may be as dumb as a rock, but given his lust for attentionwhoring so far, there's no way he doesn't get vult in, and we'll get a greentext about it EVERY. WEEK.

>>54209818
I distinctly recall the raunchiest we've ever gotten in a Greta discussion is an in-depth look at Winter Wolf culture concluding that she prefers to have sex doggystyle, and even that was lauded as "too much."

>>54209810
I mean the bot's got a pretty fleshed out backstory as it is, now it could just be used and tailored to a game whenever Starfinder comes out. I don't expect any more shitposting about it after this. All we CAN do about the bot is discuss backstory because we don't have any Starfinder mechanics available to us yet. And backstory's done, you know.

Honestly, would you rather get weekly greentexts or weekly pastebins for a game? Not PLD or WotR specifically, but games in general.

>>54209893
The only reason people took the bait was because of that magical CharGen Tuv is offering, someone needs to run a competent game using that spread and they'll never want for quality apps.

>>54209917
I'd rather not hear about them at all, I don't fucking care about your game, or your characters. Insisting on posting it to the thread unprompted is basically jerking yourself off in public, extreme attention whoring.

>>54209930
I legitimately don't think you can run a competent game at 30pb gestalt mythic

Whatever happened to that GM with the desert world game?

>>54209719
Not him, but it may be because between fetish bullshit and Discord inner-circle-jerking, /pfg/ deserves 150% of the smug disdain it gets.

And one of the common responses is, "Well, complaining anon, why don't you talk about something else then?" and then what happens is someone posts something about Pathfinder or Starfinder, and it gets buried under mountains of fetish bullshit and Discord inner-circle-jerking. So, yeah.

>>54209878
It was a pretty basic bitch suggestion along the lines of
>basic 1 to +5 weapons, along with certain enchantments like Keen are now considered non magical. A +1 sword is mere a very, very good blade

Nothing profound, and nothing certainly as drastic as changing dice. But I'm a lot more intrigued by the Starfinder system.

>>54209917
Greentexts are fine as long as they're only done when interesting shit happens. We don't need a greentext of your night at the harvest festival.

Funny enough, no. Broodie was writing Wild Weird West before I started Blood Mountain, I started my project, they finished WWW and posted it, and then I shelved my stuff for my own project because people would just call it a ripoff of Broodie's stuff.

If you have characters with any level of system mastery you just can't run a good Mythic game without saying no to 95% of player choices.

I was in a game. Mythic 2 Level 12.

The ranger killed a tarrasque with one full attack action.

The barbarian had flyby attack and mythic vital strike for an 180 ft range average 200 damage attack, followed by a swift action 90 ft range 150 damage attack.

I had a staff of lesser wish and a Gargantuan sized Adamantine Dragon animated object construct.

The game was not salvageable. The GM started adding arbitrary hundreds to the boss' hp.

The final boss had 2400 HP, and 9th level casting, as well as Mythic 9.

He took us 8 rounds to beat.

>>54209967
Reminds me of a discussion about a monofilament blade falling into Golarion from a scifi setting and somebody thinking it's some +10 weapon. Crossing over science with fantasy is fun. Well, can be fun. Best done in a "worlds collide" sort of style as opposed to "magitech world", IMO.

My current DM is thinking about making an all evil campaign and is asking everyone to come up with what kind of character they would make. I was thinking of making something with a tengu assassin. Never played an assassin before, any suggestions on what I should try?

>>54210059
If /pfg/ was just one person, it'd be the most self-hating, delusional person alive.

HONESTLY, what I'd really like to run for /pfg/ sometime would to be to create what I'd call something similar to darkest dungeon.
Basically let people post characters, grab people first come first serve for short mini campaigns (2-3 sessions), and keep everyone at the same level and WBL overall so anyone can jump in.

And tie it all into a big meta-plot about the world, you could even sort of set it up as a town fighting for its survival and people could all take roles in the town
However since it would be semi-living world I feel like i'd run into problems of giving certain people cool loot or abilities and stuff and other people would feel fucked over, I dunno. Its some thing I want to do without knowing if it can realistically be done.

>>54209609
Achieving greatness is an action you can perform under certain circumstances. When it triggers, you may use a free action to turn on an aura, it has no duration.

Really, 'achieving greatness' is just a way of saying 'when you do one of the things that lets you activate an aura'. It's a lot like regaining grit, when you can regain grit, you do, you can't choose to regain grit later.

Yeah, I could dig that idea. It allows more granularity in the quality of mundane weapons that just whether it's masterwork or not. You know you've found a swordsmith of legend when he turns a +5 keen weapon out of his forge for you.

I just said that's not what you were saying, silly.

Reminds me of an idea that got spitballed in my IRL group, where everybody makes a bunch of 20 level characters for different classes, all these characters being members of a guild or something dedicated to destroying the Codex of the Infinite Planes. The extra characters are backup PCs because the campaign would be highly lethal.

Like, shit, have you seen this damn thing? It's my favorite artifact. If I ever ran a game like that though, I'd make my own table of catastrophes.

The best part is you don't even need to really alter anything in the rules for this, you just need to say a +2 is not representative of a moderately magical weapon anymore, but rather an exquisitely crafted blade.

If you can't figure out smart ways to describe it, just use the Dwarf Fortress method.

I'm game, level 11 might be fun for 6th level maneuvers.

Though I do need to say that the plot you mentioned seems awfully... Low power(?) for the CharGen you're offering. Level 10 characters are typically people that command respect and admiration throughout an entire kingdom; the greatest chieftain of Belkzen is a level 10 barbarian while the high Admiral of Taldor's Navy is level 10, for example. This is to say nothing of what gestalt insinuates.

How open are you to modifying the plot? Because you could easily tweak this to be the heroes or even leaders of various tribes, nations and city-states banding together to stop the invasion of a vast empire controlled by the Vilderavn!

>>54210389
>>54210388
>>54210380
Even then, 4-5 level 10 gestalt PCs could probably obliterate it, like you have to remember at around level 10 PoW characters are able to take on threats at like +9 CR

>>54210315
Well, the Archaic Alchemist is available if you want to play with spheres - it's basically the Sphere conversion since there is no Sphere Alchemist. There's also the Combat Engineer (but it loses a lot of the alchemical stuff) and the Essentialist is in playtest (but it loses bombs).

Will Starfinder be adapted to an online SRD like Pathfinder has? Is Paizo cracking down on that so we have to spend $200 on their books as god intended?

>>54210417
That's what he needs to stack up templates.
Advanced Chosen One Elder Youthful Demonborn OD/ZS Warder/Druid anyone?

I'm still trying to convince the guy that Essentialist having both Essences and Mutagen is kinda redundancy.

Looks like that could be fun to play with. I was thinking about taking the alternate racial traits that gives the tengu glide and a claw attack so I could jump down from high places and attack with my feet.

>>54210417
>He thinks the Vilderavn will ever be alone
Anon, a Vilderavn is a moderately scary creature, but not end of game terrifying on its own. The scary thing about a Vilderavn is if it has had time to set down roots, set up a network of spies and agents, and prepare itself to take on all challengers.

I guess I just don't see the appeal in level 10 gestalt characters with absurd point buy.

>>54210421
To be honest, all I really want to do is make my oc real

The idea was that his only power was that he could change how things tasted, but since the change was physical and not mental anything that could cause a flavor was fair game

Making the air spicy turns it into tear gas. Cheap gunpowder can be made from just sugar and curing salts. The chemicals that cause fatigue are the same ones that give sour cream and seltzer their tastes. Even electricity is fair game, since early experiments proved electricity could simulate bitter tastes in the mouth. Did I forget to mention that the romans sweetened their wine with powdered lead?

Later on he'd unlock the greatest secret of all: he can apply this to the "flavor charge" of atomic nuclei (yes this is a real thing), which is the only thing separating a lead atom from a gold atom

>>54210624
People like opportunities to really shake off the shackles of low-level character generation and build something that is not only "online," but supercharged.

Prestidigitation.

congratulations, your OC is a fucking cantrip.

The most useless thing I could imagine a high level alchemist doing is cracking open a philosopher's stone and dumping its contents into an elixir of life they made.

So pgg/pfg, what would your ideal game be?

The setting, theme, goals, and so on. What's your ideal campaign pitch in a nutshell?

>>54210624
Nobody wants to break the narrative over their knee and invalidate the plot, but. Games where you can build to that powerlevel and the GM is capable of properly challenging you are amazing.
Battles become intricate strategy affairs with high impact cinematics. When all the overcomplicated rules of PF weave together nicely into a single sequence of clashes, threats, suspense and victory, it feels like you're experiencing PF at its best.

>>54210707
they really don't, I've never seen level 10 become more strategic, only less

>>54210714
You haven't played enough then, because I sure have.

>>54210706
Gosh, that's a complicated question. I don't even know. I don't think I could know; I wouldn't enjoy the game as much if I knew what it was all going to be about beforehand, plot-wise. The "ideal game" has more to do with the other players (DM included) than anything else, I think.

>>54210706
I know what I don't like but not what I like if that makes sense?

Like if you pitched something at me, I'd know if I'd like it but I couldn't tell you what I'd like.

>>54210698
I know anon, but there is no way I could get away with all that using just a cantrip. No DM in the world would let me unless I'm the DM. Besides, it doesn't allow you to replicate spell effects and is limited to a single pound

>>54210767
>proper sci-fi
>goblins
Why not play a system based in "actual sci-fi" or that can do that?

>>54210706
Something using >>54210327 CharGen focused around... Well, shit, that's a question I'd really have to think about. There have only been three games ever advertised that really got my blood pumping, and those were thus; Heroes of Golarion, posted on Myth-Weavers, where the party were each indomitable heroes of their respective regions who would band together on occasion to fight world-ending threats, but otherwise enjoyed solo campaigns or brief pairings with another player.

The second campaign was the Undead Apocalypse one posted around here, where Tar-Baphon has returned a veritable god to wage war upon the living. The party must unite and destroy the Whispering Tyrant before everything south of Lake Encarthan is consumed!

The third campaign was that one played with around here, where Dahak comes to the Prime Material to destroy the world. I've always wanted to be a Dragonslayer.

I suppose you can surmise from these three ideas that I enjoy campaigns where the PCs are already heroes, their legend told through backstory and in-game rumor or fame. I enjoy campaigns where the PCs aren't transparent to other players, maybe PM the application and don't start with the party immediately getting together, instead ease into it with people talking about a PC before you meet them (they are, after all, big guddamn heroes.)

Dragons would be chaos undivided. They were all the sins combined, sometimes the devil himself.

Or if you went older, they were forces more primal than any creator or his whiny brat. They were the darkness before creation that swallows the sun, they were the starless sea reclaiming all that had been drawn up from their depths, the challenge that all heroes must face from the first god seeking to create down to mortal men fighting for the immortality of glorious tales to be told.

>>54210808
The reason that everyone who wants something else gets stuck in PF. My groups (all three of them at this point)) all just want fantasy. And several players among them are convinced that paizo APs are better than any other option.

Tell me about some shitty archetype or PrC you wish was better, /pfg/.

>>54210818
Can we not? Hell, I app'd for that game and couldn't really complain about seeing my character discussed, but... Not like this. Not like this.

>>54210706
Something slow and thoughtful, which digs into the impetus behind each character's call to adventure.

It gives up basically everything that makes alchemists capable in a campaign in exchange for the homonculus, which is in no way a fair tradeoff.

How would I even play this character?
>>54210674

Thinking it over I don't even know if I could do it. Like, max alter creation could do a lot of stuff but it almost seems too powerful for what I want. I just want to change flavors, not complete materials.

>>54210818
Hey DM, you forgot to leave your name on this time.

>>54210973
The path of getting a cute daughter means you have to sacrifice your chance at power. Is not that the fairest tradeoff?

>>54210949
>>54210973
Do you think it would be better for the archetype to give you a better homonculus/abilities or to take less away in the first place?

>>54211006
No, that's shit. Get out of here! We want archetypes that have awesome flavor and are also not garbage.

That's cool too, but can ultimately detract from what I'm looking for.

I like the idea of a story that begins and ends the same way. The party begins weak and powerless in the face of some overwhelming force, but slowly gain the power to face it, before once again being brought low by the forces of time and entropy. Classical hero shit.

>>54211045
I feel like it'd be better if it took less away. Like, at least leave us the bombs. Bombs are cool.

>>54211131
Don't forget your 1d3+1 touch attacks as a standard action at level 11 and NO ITERATIVES

>>54211045
Honestly, part of the problem is it half-asses things. It takes away just enough to gimp you (why the fuck did it take away Brew Potion and Throw Anything, without even giving the option to get them back via discovery?), but not enough to be a TOTAL conversion (It leaves the poison stuff and Persistent Mutagen), meaning you can end up just being a bargain bin Summoner by taking Preservationist. The Alchemist himself doesn't get the option to fucking DO anything. If it had like, replaced a bunch of discoveries, all the Poison Stuff+Persistent Mutagen, and banned you from getting mutagens? Cool, nice, at least you'll still have bombs or the option to take Sneak Attack.

The other thing is the Homunculus is just not customizeable at all. One option of fixed progression is lame as fuck, especially when you can't do anything but pray your GM lets you work the janky construct modification rules.

>>54211132
>Oh noes. I can't autistically optimize as much as I wanted.

>>54211148
Can you lay off that for fuck's sake

>>54211144
Plus, if you keep bombs they could get the discovery to implant a bomb in their familiar! :D

>>54211142
It's not easy to maintain tight narrative control over some things like that over the whole course of a campaign, but I think that kind of stuff could be workable.

>>54211159
Hm... You know, wouldn't it be cool if you got to choose which "set" of features to keep and get a customizable homonculus with a different built-in progression path depending on your choice? Like you can choose to keep your mutagens and you get a homonculus that can use them too or enhance them. Choose to keep poisons, and you get a homonculus with assassin skills. Etc.

That'd be way too complicated for an archetype, though.

>>54211148
Seriously, dude.
I have more sympathy for the group that has to put up with your whining than I do you by now.

If that's even really you and not a false-flagger.

>>54211089
>third-party
This is the only part that is mandatory here.

>>54211201
It doesn't really need control over the narrative; no matter how powerful the PCs get, they can't stop the inevitable march of time and tides.

>>54211201
For that progression path idea, what if you give up all the possible features to make the strongest possible homunculus?

>>54211221
Well, "not low/no-magic setting" is probably also mandatory. Then again, we're supposedly not a monolith, so maybe there's not anything that's mandatory across the board.

>>54211247
Well sure, that's true. But If you can't manage your narrative well, it's going to look like you're just forcing shit down your players' throats.

On the other hand, watching things crash and burn can be fun, I guess.

>>54211279
>, "not low/no-magic setting"
That too, but that's less of a taste thing and more of "unless your some kind of 1 in a million genius it's not gonna work out well" thing.

>>54211201
Feature sets would be way too complicated, but different options for the homunculus would be really nice. Trading out the claws and poison for martial weapon proficiency or something would be nice, as would the option to keep it small-sized and swap the Str bonus to be, say, Int instead.

>>54211204
That shit is so far removed from any actual complaints I have about the archetype that it should not be a thing that EVER comes up.

Just gonna drop this here.

Is Cryptic my only option if I want to be an Int based Psionic character that isn't a full manifester?

>>54211325
There's the Shattered Mind Occultist archetype.

>>54211273
Doesn't really sound appealing to me, but that's just my opinion. I don't want a homunculus that's more useful than I am.

>>54211303
The more I think about it, the more I realize what I'm suggesting is a collection of similar archetypes that grant homunculi with differing progressions (one archetype that keeps bombs, one for mutagens, one for poison, etc) and trade out the features not related to that theme. Then they can all draw from a common pool of homunculus enhancements.

>>54211325
This bugged me when I tried to make a manifester a long time ago.

>>54211336
Fuck. I hate both of 'em. I don't like the cryptics pattern bullshit, don't like the occultists object bullshit, and REALLY don't like the whole "slowly become an empty shell as you dump your mind into a crystal" thing the shattered mind has going on.

>>54211355
>I don't want a homunculus that's more useful than I am.
That's pretty much the issue with the base archetype, desu. Between immunities and the scaling bonuses, you end up taking a backseat as your homunculus wades through threats laughing at how they can't touch their construct immunities. Unless they just straight up blow the homunculus up via damage, in which case rest in fucking pieces.

>>54211325
Aegis, loosely. Living Legend Soulknife.

Rune Seeker Empath Medium if your GM allows.

>>54211361
>and REALLY don't like the whole "slowly become an empty shell as you dump your mind into a crystal" thing the shattered mind has going on.

>Not playing a haughty caster who's dumped different parts of her personality into each implement

>>54211355
>This bugged me when I tried to make a manifester a long time ago.
One of these days I'm gonna sit down and make specific Psionic 6th level manifests that focus on a somewhat specific range of disciplines.

Or maybe a Psion/Wilder unchained that's 6th level so you can have a Psionic manifester that won't get bitched at for having access to powers you don't even intend to learn.

Either that or a Psionic Vigilante. So much stuff I want to homebrew.
>>54211387
Aegis isn't a manifester at all and Living Legend is a bit too gishy for my taste

Guys, I think I may have come up with a way to get my players to actually want a DM PC.

Nobody on my team wants to play the healer, so I'm going to tell them they have the option to either buy healing potions or hire a healing intern

The healing intern, being an intern is paid in experience (literally) so he's a fuckton cheaper than the potions, especially at their level. He doesn't have his own shit going on, nor will he fight, unless the players actually start to like him. If not they can let him go after the adventure ends
