Alright, I said I would share ideas for a rework of the PF Combat system here after the thread turned over, so I guess I'll do so now.


>1/?

So, rather than set “Actions” that a character can make each turn (such as Standard, Move, Full-attack, Swift,etc) instead each character has an “Action Que” or Deck kind of thing. Each class will have a different set amount of action slots at level 1, and will gain them at different rates for each class. Ideally, Fighters will have the highest gross number of slots once they level up. Each individual action will have its own action cost for performing. As such it will be smart for characters to properly plan and decide how to spend their slots for each round. In addition to this a rudimentary parry/counter/active defense system will be in place in the system, and they too will cost a number of actions to perform depending of the type of parr/counter, meaning a smart plaer will have to decide whether to go all out and immediately spend their actions at once, or leave some left over to spend on defensive actions. Further, combat maneuvers will no longer provoke AoO, but rather will instead cost a slightly higher amount of actions to perform, which can be mitigated with a feat to make a large number of maneuvers able to be done for reduced cost (taking inspiration from Elephant Feat Tax for this). Other feats can potentially change the cost of actions for other types of actions as well, or possibly add modifiers to them (such as with TWF, though not sure how to implement that yet).

>2/?

In addition, various strategies and alternate tactics can be used to change the cost of the an action for certain trade-offs or benefits. These can be anything from increasing action cost to increase the Attack Roll (basically focusing more to improve your own accuracy) or reducing the action cost by either lowering your damage amount or attack bonus (so this could either be trying to instead go for a glancing blow on purpose to deliver poison, or forgoing precision for a possible extra attack). By combining options like these, it may be possible to emulate things like Power Attack and similar, thus allowing the removal of those feats while also opening up options. Further, depending on your class, as you level up certain actions have have their cost reduced, or benefits enhanced, based on what class you are. This system will not be used alongside with Iteratives, however multiple attacks should be possible at higher levels depending on whether you want to reduce them with trade-offs or not, and how many Action slots you have

>3/?

As mentioned, there would probably be implemented a basic active defense system. There will probably be different defensive options costing different amounts, like after performing a successful deflect action performing a ripost afterwards, which while this would be effective may leave you open after spending too many actions, meaning either you may be left defenseless against the guy’s buddy, or the attack may have been a feint to trick you into leaving yourself open to the real attack. Feints will be included as well, and as such being sure your character can spot them may become important to learning how to manage your combat actions. In addition, as a way to make shields more useful perhaps their shield bonus may now also apply to defensive action as a bonus, and can be used to reduce the cost of a “block” action. Basically what I’d imagine there will be are Block, Parry, Dodge, and Riposte action. The last one may instead just be the ability to perform an attack of opportunity after a successful parry, though as of yet I’m unsure. Have been also thinking about making Block mostly STR based and Dodge mostly DEX based, with Block being much cheaper naturally (especially with a shield) thus giving the STR builds a bit of an edge.

>4/4

Spells I’m currently unsure about how to effect their cost, and whether to keep slots and such intact. While I would personally prefer to instead use Spheres, since you could play around with is a bit thanks to the nature of Spheres CL and such, I understand Spheres is not always liked, and would like to at least try to alter basic PF casting with this new system. However, one this is for sure that action cost will increase based upon spell level and its normal action type (meaning if you blow your action budget on a large spell, you probably won’t have enough actions to perform your Emergency Force Sphere to save your hide), and that spells in general will have a higher action cost than martial combat, since ideally magic should require much more mental focus than combat. Am also unsure if I should alter combat casting and the AoO stuff for it as well. Further, Concetration effects may probably cost each round the same amount of actions as it took to activate it, though certain feats and the like may be able to reduce this action cost. Also, I’ve been considering allowing a “risky casting” mechanic where you can lower the action cost of spells by incurring a Spell Failure percent, with maybe a possibility of Backfire happening if you fail too hard or so.

PoW will probably not be implemented into the base system, though if I were to make rules for them, I feel it would definitely be a good idea to give them a somewhat higher action cost than most normal combat actions, thus making them basically into fancy if somewhat risking things to try and pull off, as “spinning” is not always a good trick. As for Psionics, considering it already has Power Point and Psychic Focus mechanics, I may have them cost somewhat less than normal 1pp magic in terms of action cost.

Thoughts?

stapling on an entirely new combat system is dumb and nobody will do it

>>54373051
It is stapling on, because you can't just 'replace' it, you're at best covering up the old one with a complete mess.

Nobody will use it, nobody cares that much, you need to work within the system, not just cover it up

All the shitposting about PoW we've had these past several days says otherwise

>>54373095
But PoW works WITHIN the systems of pathfinder, even with its problems it slots in pretty easily

Much easier to understand than your autistic idea

>>54373004
>Thoughts?
This idea was idiotic from the get go and somebody probably should have let you know that slapping some poorly thought out new combat system over pathfinder's well defined ruleset was a mistake. That said, having seen what you've come up with here, you probably weren't going to do anything worthwhile with the time you wasted.

>>54373106
>But PoW works WITHIN the systems of pathfinder,
The threads claim otherwise.

Also, how is this even all that hard to understand? Its no more complicated than, i dunno, game mechanics from a mobile and handheld games like Mobius Final Fantasy, or those shitty Megaman games about the internet.

Are you just retarded? Or just too lazy?

>>54373153
Is it so bad that after all the whining and complaining about how absolutely fucked the PF combat system and should be fixed, that I decide to actually address it? All you fucks do is whine and masturbate impotently all day, and complain about how someone needs to fix this shit. Yet when someone actually tries to get shit done, you hiss and shriek like a bunch of autistic luddites because someone dared violate the status quo. Isn't this supposed to be /tg/? The place where anons "get shit done"? Or are you just here because you can't be happy without something to complain about?

>>54373210
Startoad, stop trying to re-invent Pathfinder. Nobody cares for your AD&D autism, your intrigue autism, or your constant feat/system rewrite autism.

>>54373210
The thread is dumb and retarded then, because PoW just uses the already known systems of pathfinder, ie actions in combat, for different things

Yes, PoW has numbers problems, but there's a reason the book of weeaboo fightan magic was so loved in 3.5 and why people like PoW

I'm trying to homebrew a port of 4e Warlord into Pathfinder. However, I'm not sure if my current approach is retarded or not.

Would anyone mind telling me how dumb or not it is?

>>54373409
I'm not opposed to criticism, hell, I make a lot of homebrews that I post to here all the time, and I almost always make corrections based upon comments and criticisms, and have even scrapped whole projects before. But people going "I hate it because its autism" is not valid criticism, especailly when their only other complaint isn't the actual idea, but because i'd be "too much to bother learning"

>>54373459

>>54373459
But your system is shitty because its basically trying to poorly glue another system ontop of pathfinder

Just make your own fucking system at that point, nobody is going to use a homebrew that complicated, PoW is used because its basically just spells for fighters

>>54373475
No, because names are cancer, and I"m not a retarded shit like Buildposter is.

>>54373316
Here's a better question. How do I make my game more anime?

>>54373509
You're worse than Buildposter, Kawase, and Startoad right now with the spergy way you're acting anon

lets swap topics, how is WotR going?

>>54373508
So trying to cut out and gut the base system and replace it with something that actually makes martials cool and puts in the better parts of PoW without the math mess is "gluing on"? Excuse me, it seems the english language changed over night while I was asleep.

>>54373522
Two words:
Beach
Episode

>>54373569
Yes, its literally gluing it on, stichting it on, stapling it together, its like taking two completely different systems and trying to mash them together.

Your system is not like Path of War, which works within the established paradigm of how pathfinder combat works, but is rather an entirely new system, and I can only assume that you're stapling it to pathfinder instead of creating your own fucking system because you're a fucking hack

>>54373459
Okay, you want feedback, Startoad?

I don't like it. I don't think you need to even do this kind of thing. Reworking the action economy of Pathfinder is tantamount to designing a whole new system, and would better be served in the Homebrew General and not here. Your idea is overcomplicated and predicated on the idea that PoW's faults are worse than it's good points. Most of the thread doesn't mind using PoW, despite knowing what flaws it has. They generally like it because it makes martials something more than "charge/5ft-step and full attack". The benefit of PoW, Psionics, SoP, and all the other good subsystems is that they use the base of Pathfinder and don't modify the core system, merely adding on to it.

If people that play pathfinder liked the idea of changing that core system, everyone would have been fine with moving to 4e and later 5e after 3.5e support dropped. Here's the important part: We didn't. The majority of PF players /like/ the 3.5 system, and that's why we are here. Changing that is rejecting one of the primary bases of the community here.

>>54373579
My groups equivalent to a 'beach episode' was promptly followed by the BBEG's lieutenant managing to psychicly bend his way into the hearts and memories of my Inquisitors friends, family, the local government, and 3 of the other 4 party members that weren't me. (Yay will save fails...)

She brought him down in the town square in front of a crowd, her family, and a few city guard. Though she managed to convince the party she did the right thing, they had to escape the city or she would be hanged (and the party jailed for harboring a murderer). No one in the party had strong enough magic or skills to overcome the brainwashing anyways...

Shame that campaign never managed to come to it's conclusion. DM ended up moving out of state and even when we tried to do the campaign online he never had time for it.

>>54373316
>4 - Not too anime most of the time, but has enough comfy SoL stuff mentioned in passing between action segments that there's some, it might jump up to a 6-7 soon depending on how crazy our casters go though
>8 - Pretty sure half the time people are calling out attacks, or at least yelling shit, so I'd call it pretty fucking anime already
>??? - Not even sure what the chargen allows yet, determining anime levels impossible I predict at least a 6

>>54373590
I never said I wasn't a hack. Hell, nearly all my previous homebrew work has been nothing but converting pre-existig classes and options to new systems, like making Initiator archetypes for Bloodrager and Cavalier and such, remaking the Armorist to not be shit, and such. Honestly the only "original" homebrew I've ever made was a race of deer people, and that was purely on request from another anon.

>>54373616
Now that's better, actual feedback and criticism. and while I disagree with your assumption as to why people like PF (since most people, myself included, mostly just like it because it has a shit-ton of chargen options and customization) I can see the validity in not wanting to make something too different and calling it the same name even if that mindset is retarded, and is the reasons why 4E was killed by retarded grognards. As such I shall concede to the points you've actually taken the time to make and articulate, and drop the subject and refrain from bringing it back up here on /pfg//pgg/ ever again. Perhaps I'll just work on it from time to time, and keep t with my home group of friends, since we're already trying to experiment with new systems right now.

>>54373522
1) Episodic / session based quests with resolutions and cliffhangers
2) Player character focused scenes
3) Use of background music at the table
4) Relatively straightforward plots; if villain's methods seem convoluted or complex, the underlying simplicity will be revealed later.
5) Balance of humor and seriousness, to degrees depending on what anime you would like to emulate.

Honestly, that's the thing I always hate the most about "lewd." GMs running lewd games almost always fail to account for the fundamental tonal shift. Suddenly every combat becomes not just "Will we need to retreat and heal if someone goes down," but "Are we all going to get raped"?

Not to mention how GMs keep going "oh bee-tee-dubs, you got pantsed and everyone saw your donger lawl" in the middle of a pitched battle where we're all supposed to be fighting nightmarish beasts.

Every social interaction with an NPC becomes "Is the GM going to rape this person later? Every IC romance suddenly hinges on whether your GM decides it'd be funny to have a fat eyeless old dude rape your love interest.

Could a Chosen One paladin potentially have an evil god be their patron, merely pretending to be some good deity, aiding them for said god's own ends?

It seems I need better reaction images, apparently I don't have any laughing Wizards. Also for more serious suggestions, Deific Obedience could be good depending on your god. Spell Focus might be good, and the feats that have Spell Focus as a prereq also could be be good- depends on the kind of spells you expect to be using the most. Metamagic is always relevant for full casters, but I assume you've already looked over those feats. Also, don't pick up Combat Casting. Nobody ever really needs Combat Casting.

Yeah but 3.5 Ranger also got to put on 1-5th level casting at fullcaster advancement rate until level 10, could choose "all arcane casters" as a favored enemy, have spell reflection instead of evasion, and could also cast Wizard spells out of its slots for a feat.

A LOT of things combined to make Ranger a fun class in 3.5 that we just don't have. It's a dull piece of shit to play.

Why the fuck are there even melee classes without Acrobatics? Why were their decisions on who gets to keep merged skills so fucked up?

Acrobatics is a merge of Balance, Jump and Tumble.

Barbarian had only Jump, got Acrobatics in PF.
Fighter had only Jump, did not get Acrobatics in PF
Ranger had only Jump, did not get Acrobatics in PF

So the ones that are supposed to be skill and nimbleness over brute force did not get it and also lost their jumping prowess for no exchange, and the bipedal rhino kept it and is now more able to dodge, roll and flip around a fight than they are.

What is the easiest way to learn Pathfinder?

in case anyone is half as autistic as i am, here's what info i could actually find on the shifter
https://pastebin.com/Z5rA5CSp
paizo isn't the most reliable of sources, but the stand out points are
-the base shifter is martial, and has no spellcasting (presumably full bab)
-the base shifter gets claws at first level, and some sort of shapeshifting mechanic at higher levels
whether it's got a limited use is unknown
-there's a shfiter archetype based around turning into an ooze, or possibly trying to stop being an ooze, so there'll be mechanical support for your slime waifus

>>54377043
Even if Ranger had acrobatics you can't use them to move through threatened squares if you have medium or heavy armor...which is what Ranger uses, same for Barb and Fighter. Is a skill called fuck martials as much as you can perfected by Paizo devs through the years

>>54377060
Experience is the best teacher. Find some low to mid level module ran by a friend or a group of likeminded morons and learn with everybody else.

Kinda? Iron Gods and Carnal Crown don't have tons of apps and have about 2 weeks each left for new apps. There are a handful of good apps in Iron Gods (you can debate which ones are good but I think it's hard to say there are no good ones) but probably not enough to form a full party out of, especially when schedule restrictions are considered. Carnal Crown is even worse off in this regard, with only 10 apps and half as many of them either being jokes or WIPs. I would honestly like to see more quality apps because I love discussing apps for various games in more depth than who has the hottest art and you need to have a decent amount of good apps to keep that kind of discussion going.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like /pfg/ games aren't getting as many apps as they use to. Like, PLD, Blingmaker, and Overlewd all got tons of apps, and even some of the smaller games of that era like LoBaF and WWW did alright in terms of apps, right? The newest crop of games just seem anemic in terms of applicant number in comparison. Is it because more people in games means fewer people can join more games? Or have the games just gotten less interesting/appealing? Or am I just imagining things?

Games these days get a lot less for sure. Partly because DM's blow their load and put them up too early.

god I just wanna be a musclegirl and smash faces

>>54377135
Put them up too early? Do you mean close the app process too early, because I don't see how they could post their LFG "too early". Nobody knows about the game before they post it, rare cases where someone is inspired by an idea in the thread and we all know those games never actually work out, don't we?

>>54377078
also,
>However, the reason they decided against shapeshifting at game start was simple. New players. They want all classes to be relatively easy for a brand new player to sit down and play a level 1 version, and any form of wild shape at level 1 will confuse things dramatically. Thus they tried to give a few options for the flavor of shapeshifting, while giving the players some time to get used to the class and system.

Are Psions the go-to as the most simple type of caster for a new player to instantly 'get'? Learn powers, no book, you just know them, pick 2 every level and not a lookup table of knowns, you use an MP system, go.

>>54377118

I wish games got more male apps. Personally I really hate playing in all female character parties because they end up way too quirky. I suppose it's tough because male apps tend to get picked less. But I feel like that's because they generally are not very good. Lately I considering making male characters but I find how slutty the PFG female apps are to be totally disgusting.

>>54377118
A little bit of both. A lot of the games put forth aren't interesting. And I'd say most people who apply to this shit have either gotten into something or have gotten discouraged to the point they don't try at all.

>>54377167

No, I mean they blow their load too early as in they don't wait for other games to finish recruiting. Blingmaker and Overlewd were some of the only ones recruiting at the time, now there are constantly 4~6 games recruiting. It spreads attention too thin.

>>54377118
People who want games and are good at making apps are already in a game. That leaves either the people too thirsty to quit and the people who don't want to deal with the app circus.

>>54377189
>>54377183
Pretty much.
> But I feel like that's because they generally are not very good.
I disagree with this unless you want to go into why you don't think their not very good. In my opinion it's just that /pfg/ is only interested in one archetype of male character.

>>54377183
as you said, as long as they've played anything with any sort of mana equivalent before, they should be fine. (back in 3.5) i played with a total idiot who didn't really understand a lot of basic parts of the game, but eh functioned pretty fine with a psion

>>54377155
Why can't you do this?

>>54377183
Spherecasters are roughly as simple once you get over the tradition bumps.

The problem with psions is the chance of players picking bad Powers and getting stuck with them. NEVER underestimate new players' ability to pick the one trap option in a sea of good options.

If you count Avowed as a type of caster I'd honestly say it's the best new player class. Your pulse damage dice increase no matter what, so you can always contribute in combat.

>>54377239

I think it's pretty easy to say they are not very good because people freak out over Captain Slow who just executes very well known tropes. So to me it's pretty clear that the issue is not the idea of male characters, it's the execution.

>>54377189
>Personally I really hate playing in all female character parties because they end up way too quirky.

Does quirky really have to do with being female?
Do you want more male apps or do you just want more normal apps?

>>54377251
I am but I wanna play more musclegirls.

>>54377189
You should make a few male apps, anon! Don't let these games become a basket of clams.

>>54377189
I agree with the lack of male apps creating a notable disconnect in many parties. A more or less even split is usually easiest to work with. Now the main issue I have with male characters (they're a fucking pain to find decent art for, and thus harder to get inspired to make good) is probably something others share as well; and in a crowd that's so visual as /pfg/ is, that's a major downside.

>>54377257

I find the latest version of Avowed's pulse dice to be extremely pathetic.

>>54377118
All the people who write quality apps are in games, as are all the celebrities. Without the constant self-shilling from the celebs less thread people are getting involved. The lower number of applicants means other "push" factors like writefags, drawfags, and reviewanons are non-existent, which in-turn leads to lower applications.

Pretty basic.

>>54377262
Do you want to rephrase that? Cause that doesn't make much sense.

>>54377282

Female apps get art carried way more so their players tend to be worse on average.

>>54377189
Jokes about meme stock markets aside, I think female apps really do tend to get picked more than male apps. Now, I'm not especially interested in yet another discussion about why that is, but it definitely is a thing and when people see that, they're going to think, "Well gee, if I want to get into ___ I better make a girl. I'll be less likely to get picked with a guy."

>>54377200
>>54377214
That's definitely going on too. It leaves me disappointed, because like I said I enjoy discussing apps when there's worthwhile discussion to be had, but it was inevitable that we would eventually reach this point.

Even if you always thought the app game and character discussion and reviews and all that stuff were cancer, I feel you almost have to admit that it's worse now than it use to be and a lack of numerous quality apps has a lot to do with that IMHO.

>>54377207
Okay, I see what you mean. Yeah, that's a good point. It really suggests that /pfg/ as a whole is just struggling with game fatigue now, and considering how long we've had new games coming non-stop down the pipe that's not surprising.

>>54377305
I wish there were more writefags and drawfags around here.

>>54377287
Still better consistent damage than a wizard who picked Magic Missile and Burning Hands, or a Psion whose only damaging power is mind-affecting in an undead tomb.

Hell, probably still better than the sword and board fighter who takes Spring Attack and Vital Strike.

I just have very little interested in banging thirsty PFG sluts and that feels like a spot that could be saved for someone who was into that.

There's a serious madonna/whore complex going on with these apps. If the girl isn't a pillow-biting sword-swallower, she's either completely non-sexual or explicitly pure.

>>54377424
Wrong Rory, you're thinking of Rory the dog.

Rorymei is the trap salamander boy.

>>54377404

The app circus definitely sucks. I've had some fun making characters but the extended app periods make the waiting cause me some undue anxiety. All the polls and self-shilling and celeb meme'ing also makes it feel really difficult if you're not engaging in that stuff.

There's definitely a place for a cute boy character in every party. Like in a wholesome family friendly way. You need to look after that boy and that's a universally fun party dynamic.

>>54377432

A shitty name.

>>54377426

There have been a lot of lewd games lately, even if they're not lewd in concept they explicitly lay out the groundwork for shipping and ERP.

>>54377438
It's particularly rough when people start calling apps "NPC"s and such. Nothing feels more dismissive of all the work that people put into apps than being called an NPC.

>>54377492
I feel like that was unique to Ensoulment.

>>54377492
I mean... that was just an Ensoulment thing, where PCs who didn't get in could be NPCs.

>>54377508

Overlewd had it too, but that was because the chargen allowed for some off the wall stuff.

anything decent in aquatic adventures

anything that would be worth taking over normal stuff if you were in an all aquatic all the time campaign?

I'm kind glad this app shit is entering it's death throes in earnest now.

>>54377305
So, do you think that reviewanons doing their work on a campaign gives it an extra push that can help it recruit more apps?

I don't see writefags and drawfags helping to drum up interest as much though, since during the app process they're only going to be writing/drawing about their own character. Scenes of multiple apps only come when they stop being apps and start being PCs, although I wouldn't mind seeing more writing pieces from apps (solo pieces or group pieces, but hopefully stuff with actual substance about the character instead of just ERP or comfy).

>>54377308
I can't deny that some apps might have been art carried, but I think it could also be that with fewer good players left as time goes on (good players getting recruited into earlier games) worse players make up a larger portion of the total pool of applicants so an increasing number of apps are carried by their art

Not that I'm disagreeing, but I'm just saying there could be a reason that it happens.

>>54377354
This feels like the same sort of logic that leads to people not voting because they think one vote doesn't matter. If nobody who wants to play something other than a thirsty /pfg/ slut applies because they don't want to play with thirst /pfg/ sluts, then of course games will only have thirsty /pfg/ sluts.

>>54377426
>>54377485

To be perfectly honest, if we had replaced "lewd" with "touches on adult content but it's not the focus" I feel like games would at bare minimum SOUND less trashy at first brush.

>>54377538
>but I think it could also be that with fewer good players left as time goes on (good players getting recruited into earlier games) worse players make up a larger portion of the total pool of applicants
This is kinda relying on the key assumptions that only "good players" get picked up consistently.

>>54377118
You disregard the possibility that the current games just aren't very interesting.

>>54377538
I find it really hard to app when the most discussed characters are sluts. If I got in with them, I just know I wouldn't have fun. It's a bit self-fulfilling, true enough.

>>54377538
>do you think that reviewanons doing their work on a campaign gives it an extra push that can help it recruit more apps?

It's publicity and oftentimes highlights good apps that people may want to play with it. If you look, all the biggest campaigns have had ReviewAnons attached to them.

>I wonder how well an expressly non-lewd game could do.
Ensoulment did pretty well.

Having played in multiple PFG games now I can confirm many of the celebs are shit. Most players do not even know the rules. And I mean this in a very basic way. Many have extremely poor etiquette in R20 (Excessive turn length, being unprepared) and out of game they have exceptionally poor social skills (Blogging in game discords). Out of the twenty or so players I've interacted with I would rank four of them as being people I would invite to a game.

>>54377548
What did he mean by this?

>>54377570
I think "touches on adult content but it's not the focus" is what most ERP games SHOULD be anyway. It's a kind of game where everything is played straight for the most part, people aren't going out of their way for lewdness, and if people want to do lewd things they can take it to PMs between sessions.

Well, they don't have to be the ONLY people to get in. They just have to get in more than any other group of people, and if that happens it's just a matter of time before they make up a tiny amount of the people looking for games.

>>54377591
That's literally the second-to-last possibility I mention.

>>54377658
Makes me feel lucky that I like all of the people I play with, then.

>>54377611

Agreed, all the shilling for Kawase's apps scared me off Ensoulment completely, just on the idea of having to play with that guy.

Just look at Iron Gods, daily shilling for Cynn and Anka. Not interested in being in a party with either of them, totally killed my enthusiasm for that game.

>>54377681

Pretty accurately describes all the /pfg/ games I'm playing in.

Is this a new crop of DMs? Or are the old ones failing currently?

There is literally nothing wrong with this.

>>54377681
>They just have to get in more than any other group of people,
I disagree with this point though. Since getting in a lot doesn't really mean your a good player.

>>54377747

I joined to play a game, not hear about your mental health issues that make your fetishes apparent as being part of childhood sexual trauma.

>>54377715
funnily enough, it even describes PLD.

It's been what, four sessions since anything unbecoming has happened? It's literally a dungeon dive and mystery solving.

>>54377717
The old ones still have their old games, as far as I can tell. I haven't noticed them making new games, so maybe it's the new DMs. But I don't think the lack of apps to new games can be pinned ENTIRELY on the games themselves being less attractive. I think it's that, combined with fewer people seeking games in general and lower quality apps leading to less interesting thread discussion leading to less interest in the games in a vicious, self-feeding cycle.

>>54377788
Friendo, the premise was literally described as "Dark Souls but with Rape."

If you're gonna play that card, don't do it for a game that repeatedly posted explicit bestiality rape logs.

>>54377813
Anon that's literally my point. The rape game is still more game than rape.

>>54377658
Who would those four be?

What should one expect about a duergar settlement? Also, I suspect that anything we loot will banish in daylight.

>>54377830
And a porno usually has more foreplay than sex, doesn't change what it is, or why it exists.

>>54377767
Getting in a lot doesn't mean you're a good player, but being a good player means you are likely better at getting in once. Imagine there are four groups: good players that make good apps, good players that make bad apps, bad players that make good apps, and bad players that make bad apps. Good players, out of their two groups, will tend towards "good players that make good apps" because some things that make you a good player make you a good app maker and vice versa. Bad players, out of their two groups, will tend towards "bad players that make bad apps" because some bad players are bad because they are uncreative and that will show in their apps. Thus, over time, you'll see the good players getting picked away faster than bad ones, because they will make some larger amount of good apps than bad players will. It doesn't have to be a much larger amount- even a small difference, given time, will lead to a depletion of good players from the pool of applicants.

>>54377715
>>54377788
Blingmaker hasn't had anything lewd happening according to the greentexts either, despite a lot of people pushing that the game was destined to be lewd whether the DM wanted it or not. But then, maybe those people were just wrong.

>>54377847
Isn't that a thing that only certain Drow stuff does? Also, they're just evil dwarves. And dwarves are already grumpy fuckfaces about everything so they're just dwarves you can kill basically.

>>54377847
Slaves, clerics and lots of crossbow ambushes if they are expecting you.

Slaves, clerics and a conga line of people kissing the current head honco's ass.

>>54377878
I'm in Blingmaker, and can confirm that literally nothing sexual has happened beyond a little flirting.

I really want Majora's Mask style masks that transform my character into a fearsome beast. How do I do it, /pfg/? What sorta fearsome critters should I look forward to? Should I start small, like a wolf or bird or something, then look into more fearsome critters like chimeras or dragons?

What about monster girl masks?

>>54377886

Don't the Drow buy basic stuff from them before they apply magic?

>>54377912
Be a wild shaper or transmutation specialist and fluff your wild shaping/transmutation spells as putting on a mask. Just don't be surprised if you start attracting Bane jokes like a magnet.

So Druid, except wild shape is replaced with a mask-like feature that does the same thing?

Also, Oni mask when

>>54377951
But I'm already playing a bloodrager and can't refluff it that way

Can I beg my DM for it? He's a huge fan of Majora's Mask and it was discussed a LOOOOONG time back too and we both agreed it was cool so now that I can finally get my hands on them

>>54377850
This holy fuck. Better example would be "just because a porno has a plot doesn't change what it is, or why it exists".


It's the difference between say Fallout and an an eroge that has substantial gameplay like Rance or Kamidori. Its the difference between an On Top of Holy Mountain and Debbie Does Dallas.

>>54377976
Why are you asking US whether YOU can talk to YOUR DM? We're not your parents and he's not the creepy guy across the street how says he wants to show you the cool video game collection he has in his basement, hopefully.

Play a sphere caster or ask your GM to allow and let you retrain into a Masquerade Reveler.

Think anything will happen before Book 2?

What are the potential parties looking like for Iron Gods and Dominion?

Tell me /pfg/

What's the campaign you've wanted to play in but it hasn't been offered?

I want to play in a weird world, like, all the stone is above the world, all cities hang beneath it or float on the bottomless ocean, but there are monsters down there. All light comes from crystals that float up from the depths and have to get collected and tethered lest teh currents leave a city in darkness.

And then within that let the players build the plot in their backstories or something.

>>54378035
>>54377900
Perhaps something already has.
After all, false-flagging is as easy as posting in the thread.

>>54377975
I'm thinking

Wolf mask, Hawk mask, Oni Mask, Dragon Mask

>>54378027
first-party only, unfortunately.

>>54378035
Maybe at the very end of the book, since that seems to be the trend.

>>54378082
I'd be down for most anything with a decent party. Something city-based instead of big end of the world style stuff could be nice, but explaining the power levels past a certain point gets a bit absurd. I really just want to play with players that make good characters and show interest in the other characters in the party. Also characters who aren't going for the cute angle. I'm so tired of it.

>>54378082
Spelljammer. Not Starfinder, Spelljammer. I want to sail across the Phlogiston with my adventuring band of warriors to worlds unseen and fight strange creatures from beyond the stars!

What are some of the better first level Bard spells besides Grease? I can't find a current optimized list for Bard anywhere.

So, the party is filled with lower class, bottom of the barrel with low morality folks with. There are two dwarves (a third one died), a foreign merc, a turkish healer, and a former adventurer lizard. If you were to make an elf for a party like this, what kind of elf would you pick, what would be his class, and how would you roleplay him?

>>54378293
What is the campaign about and do they have a Support?

>>54378241
I get you fampire

>>54378293
What level? That changes the backstory a bit. I'd probably go for former secret service operator-type. Slayer. Play him as casual and friendly when not working. He wouldn't place much value on life, and not hesitate to kill or torture, but it's work to him. A chore, like any other. He would smoke, and become nostalgic and tell stories when drunk, though as he drank more, he'd become pensive, remembering all that he has seen.

>>54378082
High-powered campaign with a dash of Mythic; I want to write a hero, not just become one.

>>54378498
Why mythic though?

>>54378082

I want to play in a straight adventure. In a temperate European knock of setting with no Japanese characters or weapons. I want the party to be a brave front liner, a sneaky scout, a devout cleric and a scholarly wizard. I want to save a princess!

>>54378424

He says that it is a sandbox, but there obviously a plot with rakshasas turning people into monsters for some reason. There's a second group that he plays with sharing the setting.

>>54378473

On the lower end. It would be fair to call it a Renaissance setting.

>>54378560
Why would you play a setting that PF handles fucking terribly. Go play 5e or OSR shit.

>>54378597

PF handles that settling perfectly fine. Not every game needs psionic characters shooting katanas or monstergirls.

>>54378424
Get me even more then: A spelljammer game where the party is entirely composed of bards in a rock band, rocking across the stars in a spelljammer powered by rock music

>>54378533
Mythic makes it seem more... Legendary? It opens the door to all sorts of creatures that would otherwise be locked behind the "they'd butcher you" door.

>>54378626
>PF handles that settling perfectly fine
No it does not. Those settings pretty much take away all of PF's strong points. It's like playing CRB only. Just play a different system.

Fighter on Drums

Cleric on Bass
Wizard on Kazoo

One thing I never got about Spelljammer campaigns is how do you deal with an entire planet worth of content without being super meta about it?

If, after leakanon gets to dumping the Starfinder book in the thread in a few weeks, someone were to organize a sort of... Starfinder test run, where lots of players can run characters through small dungeon crawls and combat encounters, would people be interested in that? The idea isn't like a living campaign or even a campaign at all, but more like if we have a bunch of different builds run through the same challenges it would probably help us all get the hang of Starfinder and learn more about how to make good builds for it.

>>54378772
Sure, you could fly anywhere on the planet, but surely you're headed for somewhere specific?

That's a fair criticism, though. I've been looking into spelljammer and it's a cool concept. I wanna give it a shot with distant worlds, but there is that "Whole planet" problem.

>>54378785
Definitely something I'd be interested in.

>>54378699

By the logic that another system does an aspect of PF better, no one should ever play PF.

>>54378928
Not entirely, but you're desire negates what little makes 3.PF justifiable to play in the first place.

Courage is not.

Curse of the Crimson Throne does that well enough, as a showcase for how to have regional high level characters.

Depends, what as a bard are you looking to do? Buff the party, screw with enemies, help with things out of combat?

I wonder... Is it kosher to app to a game with a PC I played in that game before? I guess it doesn't matter, since nobody will know I'm doing it if I don't tell them.

>>54379428
Why would you do that though.

>>54379428
We'll all know, and we'll mock you relentlessly.

>>54379428
I guess it would be fine, but that sounds boring as fuck, anon.

>>54379428
If you played the character all the way through? It seems kinda boring but okay. If the game died partway then I don't see why not, it'll be fresh faces in the party so it probably won't go the same way.

>>54379446
Well, because the last time I played CotCT I really liked my PC but we only got through like three sessions before the DM cancelled.

>>54379450
Oh no!

>>54379453
It's not boring at all if the character isn't boring. Besides, what matters if whether or not I have fun playing the character, not whether other people think it's boring.

Out of combat utility, the potential to fuck up/help social situations for people, and debuffing mostly. I figure I'll have inspire courage covering most of my buffing. Planning on using an archery build, if this affects any choices. Also want to avoid anything I could just eventually get a wand of, since this is a Bard we're talking about.

I'm adapting ideas from the mecha rules from d20 Future and Dragonmech to work with PF, and specifically PoW. Its a long up-hill battle making sure everything scales with some degree of sanity. But it should be fun, and let lower level PCs punch above their pay grade when those huge+ size monsters come to wreck their town.
