Is there a place that's stated? Unarmed strikes are simple weapons and monks don't have proficiency with those, also the monk's unarmed strikes only count as natural weapon's for spell effects. No proficiency is granted in Improved Unarmed Strike.

I just started using a CaGM barbarian with the invulnerable rager archetype and Dazing Assault feat in a high-level campaign recently. I'm really excited for it because it's going to be completely different to play this character compared to my last one, both in terms of combat and role play (my last character was a mage with a much higher INT). It seems like I had good timing too, because in the last session we had to participate in a series of contests of strength and martial skill, and this barbarian character was much better suited for such contests than my last character.

Unfortunately, I'm going to miss the next session because I have a wedding to attend, and possibly more sessions after that because I'm going to start working at a new job with a schedule that might probably will mess things up. But still, at least the first session I brought him in on worked out great.

You roll those numbers, each of those sets you choose the best three dice and add those together to determine a stat. So roll 9d6, add the top 3 together and you'll find one stat, follow that up with 8d6 for another stat, then 7d6 etc...

I think it's more that you become a god associated with who you are rather than fill a spot not taken yet.

I could see someone trying to take Aroden's place as the god of Humanity, though.

If the one taking the test was a race other than human, they could become a racial deity as well, though personally, my theory is that only humans can succeed at the test.

Newish DM here. I'm creating premade characters for a Curse of the Crimson Throne campaign. I know one character is going to be a Paladin, another a witch, and the third a Fighter/Rogue. Is a Cleric archer build as viable in pathfinder as it was in 3.5? Barring that what would be a good 4th class?
>>

I dunno, lets check the Empyreal Lords list and see what we can find.

Also, Daikitsu and that one Snake Goddess are Nuetral Fertility Gods, and there's that one NG Goddess of farming and growth.

Alchemist is always good, in any party, and easy to adapt to any setting.

Maybe throw healing bombs onto the build as your first discovery, and it'll easily replace a cleric.

>thinking healing replaces a cleric
Oh, you poor innocent. I feel sorry for you not knowing of such glories.
>>
>>44200239
Brilliant. I like this one too.

I'm also a fan of the (more random).

Take 12 flat, rectangular, 1-numbered dice from 3-9, which add up to a total of 74 (or 78) - of the players' choice. Then mix them up (face down) and arrange into pairs.

Turn the pairs face up, and note down the numbers.

Each player does this X times, and then the GM can do it as well. Generate 5-7 arrays to choose from.

Any player can choose any of the arrays for their character, and arrange as desired.

>>44200160
> All characters are proficient with unarmed strikes and any natural weapons they gain from their race.
>>
>>44200525
>What percentage of Avistan's populace would actually know about Earthfall?
That's actually a pretty good question. One which we will probably never get a good answer on.

Considering Paizo Devs have gone on record saying both "Casters are super rare so you don't have to worry about balance" and "Casters are super common, that's why we can have 21st century western values enforced across multiple continents", I'm pretty sure we can expect and equally frustrating answer.

>Is there even really a Trickster God in Avistan?
Both Calistra and Norgerber share the different aspects.

>There is no neutral/good deity of fertility
I thought there was an empyreal lord of motherhood, but I might be wrong. There's also Pharasma, although admittedly she's less fertility and more... birth in general. You can probably pray to her to ask for help conceiving, though.

>There is no "God of the Elves" like Aroden or Torag
The elves do have their own pantheon, though. It's just that none of the gods in it are major deities of the setting.

>There is no God of Strategic War
You literally just mentioned Torag, brah.

>There is no neutral/good God of Industry
You're more-or-less right, although I think you could spin Abadar into that role. He's already pretty spread out, though. Brigh is also the goddess of making shit, which is a pretty important part of industry.

>There is no God of Beauty - there is a God of Love, but aspects can be sheared off
Shelyn pulls double duty as a goddess of love and beauty.

>>44200396
>There are no Ulfen Gods, there are no Not!Thor, Not!Odin or even Not!Loki
As far as I know, you're right.

>There are no Avistani Gods of the Sun
Have you heard of Sarenrae?

>There are no Avistani Gods of the Moon
She dead, she dead, she dead. Helped stop Earthfall from being worse than it was.

>The only God of Medicine is from Tian Xia
To be fair, what cleric would practice tradition medicine when his/her god lets them heal wounds and cure diseases with a touch?

>Is there even really a Trickster God in Avistan?
Calistria is tricky. I would also suggest Asmodeus is a novel spin on the idea of a trickster god. So it's sort of spread out between two different gods, one chaotic trickery and the other lawful deception.
>>
>>44200396

I believe the preference towards pastebins born out of a desire for anonymity.

Anon... Tian Xia is canonically reactionary, in the Land of the Linnorm Kings book most of them detest the mixing of blood between their kind and Ulfen, and the Path of Aganhei was lost because the man who discovered it was killed by the Emperor because it risked the spread of foreign influences.

They have done a lot to show Tian Xia is nothing like Avistan in terms of culture.

Guys, I'm currently working on a rework of the Holy Gun.

I had the idea that, instead of having a crappy deed that replaces Smite, how about several deeds that replace some of your mercies?

So Smiting Shot at 3rd level, changed to instead just be a 1 round Smite for 1 grit. At 9th level you get "A Knight Without Armor" which grants you your Smite deflection AC bonus as an immediate action for a number of rounds equal to Cha modifier, and you can prematurely end it to perform Smiting Shot for free. "Head the Calling Wind" at 12th level grants initiative bonus equal to Cha mod as long as you have a grit point. At 18th level you get "Humanoid Typhoon" which gives the Lightning Reload and Evasion deeds as also allows you to threaten all squares within 20ft.
I was unsure about replacing Amature Gunslinger with a full Grit pool or not, so I figured to ask you guys.

And yes, you still get you mercies at 6th and 15th level, though I'm not sure whether to keep them or remove them for other deeds.

Thoughts.

She's a CR 15 encounter with a +14 Will Save.

Compare this to Shensen, a CR 12 encounter with a +3 Will Save.

Having played both, I feel that 5e handles a number of things better, like feat design, doing away with the full-round action, backgrounds giving everyone a narrative power distinct from their class, and not making loot an EXP track rather than a reward.

I like bounded accuracy. It's not for everybody, but it does mean that lower-level threats stay relevant longer where after a while even dozens of low-CR enemies aren't much of a bother to an optimized party.

PF wins out in content, and it's the better system for a high-power game, but I like 5e being more grounded. Magic's still really strong, but it doesn't seem as much like the designers are going out of their way to give the wizard a handjob and pissing on the fighter.

Nocticula has a focus in the NPC Gallery of... I want to say Book 4 of Wrath of the Righteous? It mentions Nocticula is surprisingly pleasant with mortal visitors, and is actually seeking a way to "ascend" to godhood as a CN Goddess of the Night.
>>
>>44203224
>5e handles a number of things better
Oh, sure it does.

>feat design
Yep
>doing away with the full-round action
Eh, I'd be okay with it as an exception (like summoning), but yes, stand still and full attack as the de-facto norm for anyone is not good.
>backgrounds giving everyone a narrative power distinct from their class
Sure. That's nice. It's not as good as Rolemaster's modular Race + Culture + Background (which IMO is the best Idea in that entire system), but nice.

>not making loot an EXP track rather than a reward.
I have mixed feelings on this. On the one hand, the WBL curve required in PF is too much. On the other, in 5e it's really hard to have any idea what is a reasonable amount of magic shit for a character of level (Whatever) to have.

>I like bounded accuracy.
Bounded accuracy I'm almost completely indifferent on, but I don't like advantage/disadvantage, and the lack of stacking modifiers. Sometimes you're in a better or worse position, and I want more granularity than good/neutral/bad.

>PF wins out in content
PF wins out on content, yes.

It also gives you more choices available. You have more feat slots, characters typically have access to a wider variety of class features in a given turn, etc. Whereas in 5e a cleric only gets a single domain, and featslots are an incredibly rare commodity (nevermind the fact that feat variety is also quite sparse).

And of course, I'm not a fan of yes/no skill proficiency, I want more granularity than that (though PF's 0-Level ranks in each skill goes too far in the other direction).

Actually, STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THAT TABLE.

It is so beyond inappropriate for anything EXCEPT "the party wakes up naked (minus what's listed here), cold and afraid at the bottom of a pit" campaign starts that I would have expected such quality out of Traveller 5 or FATAL. Not even out of pathfinder.

Even fairly below-average luck on encounters and treasures will net characters at least "High Magic" column in a low magic setting unless you deliberately go out of your way to fuck them out of every piece of treasure by flat out cheating the rolls.

>>44203526
I have a friend who reverse engineered 5e WBL based on the number of treasure parcels a character should have received at a given point.

But that invariably happens. I was mostly talking about the numbers being fucked, there, but I've never been-in, sat-in-on, nor even heard of a fantasy setting using any sort of PF or D&D derivatives where "it's low magic" was anything other than a giant red flag of GM douchebaggery.

Short of playing The One Ring or the like, all it's ever shown itself to mean is "I'm going to fuck you guys out of every treasure or magic you guys are supposed to get, but only the ones YOU GUYS are supposed to get. Everyone else is snortin cocaine fireballs off the backs of wish dragons"

This world is lit by an eternal red sun at the center of Mystara. There are four major continents and three major island groups. The existence of the Hollow World is not, in general, known to the inhabitants of the outer world.

>haracters from the surface world are severely limited by the magic used by the Immortals to preserve the stability of the various cultures. The requirements to learn magic are much higher in the Hollow World, and many spells are non-functional or unavailable.

>I'm curious if you could pull off a worshiper of Noctula in a way that wouldn't get you killed like worshiping most demons would.

Of course you could! Nocticula is the patron of assassins and succubi (both literally and figuratively) and has cults in places rife with decadence.

The most reasonable way to portray a cultist of Nocticula is the short-sighted idiot. They're the type of person that joins a group because they had a chick with big tits out front handing out flyers, and eventually learned if they paid lip service once in a while, they have a chance to fuck that chick with big tits.

Even when they learn about the problems such a religion may bring, what with the damnation and likelihood of death, the cultist is always "confident" that "they're not up next" to get their soul sucked. It's a big risk but hey, Nocticula offers some big, bouncy rewards.

Another way to portray a reasonable cultist of Nocticula is your typical fuck-happy slut, only with none of that Calistrian charm or Shelynite modesty you'd find with other sex-charged worshipers. This is a person that just likes to have sex, and if their partner dies from a bit of bloodplay, whoops!

Her main cult seems to destroy anybody who worships her that way. She, however, goes out of her way to provide them with spells.

So it says that composite bows/longbows incur a penalty when you are below its str rating. But what about when your str bonus is higher than its rating? Do you still apply the closest appropriate str bonus?
>>
>>44204076
You're locked at that maximum.

Basically if you've got a STR+4 composite (speaking of, that's so historically fucked up and the fact that there's no crossbo.... but I digress) and you have +6 strength now, well, your bow still only nets you +4 to damage from your stat.

before I click, lemme mention that if you want good crossbow options, GURPS has them right down to type of loading mechanism, and does this through "strength it can give you vs strength you have".

... what you do is at level 1 you forget all about having a composite longbow more than +1. saveyer money.

then you get a +1 Adaptive bow, and forever stop worrying (adaptive ONLY works on bows, of course, because FUCK ANYONE WHO LIKES CROSSBOWS - paizo) because it'll auto-adjust to your strength forever from now on.

It won't even eat up a +x

You can't upgrade existing bow rating. It's fixed at its creation. But you can put adaptive enhancement on it for 1000gp.

There's an NPC in Shattered Star too that thinks Nocticula is a fallen Empyreal Lord seeking redemption. Pretty sure most other people think she's crazy, though. She asks you to bring her some relics like Nocticula's unholy symbol and stuff.
>>
>>44204196
Most class can't even afford +1 composite longbow at level 1. 200gp for a weapon? You better off buying a combat trained Bison at 75gp. 2d6+12 damage > +1 damage.

>>44202271
I would like to bump this for critique.

>>44204196
One of these day, some companion book writer is going to write a feat that let you treat crossbow like a bow and fix Paizo's mistake.

I saluted whoever wrote Slingslip style for Weaponmaster's Handbook.
>>
>>44204261
>>44204214
>>44204196
That makes a lot of sense, I guess I'll even skimp even further and just get a plain bow.
>>
>>44204175
Take sling as a back up weapon. It's free, use your STR for damage, different damage type and you don't even have to carry sling bullet with you (although you should).

Would you consider a "Clumsy" condition that makes all move, standard or full round actions provoke attacks of opportunity (only one per action, so if it already provokes no bonus attack) a well designed condition?

Anon, you just made me realize a "can only cast while drunk" curse for the Oracle would be pretty damn cool.
>>
>>44204519
>Drunk magic
This seems like a recipe for disaster. I approve.
>>
>>44204519
tell me what you brew up, if anything
>>
>>44204196
I thought it does use up one of the +s for the total 10 points you can put into a magical weapon, it just uses a flat gold cost as opposed to the scaling cost of various pluses. It's on a table showing how many pluses the ability takes up, after all, even if the default stat block does not say so.
>>
>>44204246
Looks like I need to RTFModule. Thanks anon, appreciate the info!
>>
>>44204839
I don't think those flat value ones even take up a +, do they? It's just 'spend the cash, you can slap this one on too'
>>
>>44204519
IIRC, there is a 3pp Wine Mystery for Oracles, or something like that. It's on the SRD.
>>
>>44202831
That's a pretty huge gap, thematically. Like the difference between 10 and 16 is the difference between your typical normie and a cult of personality kind of person.

That said, PCs can get more Charisma than Nocticula.
>>
>>44204887
That is what I initially thought. My copy of Ultimate Equipment, page 139, table 3-10 shows the Adaptive enchantment the other anon was talking about does cost 1,000 gold, but it is listed in the +1 bonus table, however.

>>
>>44204956
Yeah, but what about all the other ones? The SRD just lists them as a flat amount, not costing a specific value of bonus.
>>
>>44204998
>>44204887
in the 3.5 days it was commonly accepted (or at least accepted by the item guides) that non-"+X bonus" enhancements were unlimited
>>
>>44205027
Up to a limit of 200k item price, anything above that was considered an epic level item.
>>
>>44204956
I think these are the rules for flat bonuses. It costs a flat 1000 gp to add to the weapon and it isn't included when you're calculating overall enhancement level for upgrading (so a +1 Glamered weapon is only a +1 when calculating how much it would cost to make it a +2).

However, when you're calculating things like saves for the weapon, hardness, HP, and things of that nature those enchantments are included in the calculations at their level.
>>
>>44205037
oh really? neat.
>>
>>44204998
There's a few others that do that, though they are the exception rather than the rule. Frankly, with them being listed as "+1,000 gold" or the like, I wonder if they're more costly than a typical plus would be, as in the standard price plus 1,000 gold.

>>44205027
Unfortunately for Pathfinder, there seems to be a limit: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/magic-weapons

Third paragraph, "A single weapon cannot have a modified bonus (enhancement bonus plus special ability bonus equivalents, including those from character abilities and spells) higher than +10."
>>
>>44205047
That seems sensible, thank you!
>>
>>44201486

Since the Paizo tier list is mostly unchanged, I was mostly wondering whether or not anyone contested the Dreamscarred Press tier list, the Spheres of Power tier list, or the miscellaneous third-party tier list.
>>
>>44205079
>higher than +10."
>Heart Piercing is a +5
So either Gae Bolf is only a +4 Returning Heart Piercong Spear, or Cu just had Ricochet Weapon and its a +5 Heart Piercing Spear

Actually, how would one stat the Hound of Ulster? How much Caster would he be compared to Martial?
>>
>>44205148
Why not just make him a Magus? Plus remember that the limit only applies to mortal-made weapons, you could have a +5 Calling/Returning Heart-Piercing Spear as an artifact weapon surpassing the +10 limit.
>>
>>44205148
Probably just has a cleric cast magic weapon or greater or whatever on it.
>>
>>44205181
>Why not just make him a Magus?
Then how does he do the Warp Spasm?
I was actually thinking he could be a Bloodrager, since considering his kill count from just tearing people apart with his bare hands, his Warp Spasm, and his skill at Runes (could be done by Sphere Bloodrager with the skilled Casting drawback and the craft calligraphy skill)
Unless of course there is a DSP class which would serve better.
>>
I'm starting up a new game and one of my players has recently discovered a love and obsession with rodents that he wants to incorporate into his character. I could make it work with a Druid, but he wants to play a Cleric that's able to channel positive energy - which rules out Lao Shu Po. Are there any third-party deities that may fill this niche?
>>
>>44205278
Mystic, but you would have to convert the Inscribe Rune feat from Forgotten Realms 3rd edition and swap one of the disciplines for Primal Fury.
>>
>>44205370
Don't need to be a Cleric or a Druid. Witch with the Hex Channeler archetype and a rat familiar
>>
>>44205278
The Animus Adept PrC has a good amount of Martial Glyphs, which could be refluffed as runes.
Mystic has an easy entry into it, or Warlord, who has enough bonus feats to be able to take the tax.
>>
>>44205370
Just do a homebrew of Mahakala/Dakokuten - domains would probably be something like Luck, Community, Good, and Artifice? He's associated with mice/rats.

Any advice on making a crit fishing build? Would Divine Commander Warpriest dual-wielding Kukri work best? Not being able to grant Outflank to allies until level 12 is kinda bad though.
>>
>>44205632
It absolutely would work, but yeah, Outflank is awesome and it hurts to wait, though if you can spare a feat you can use your 7th level feat for it.

The classes that can crit fish the best are arguably the Kensai Magus, Paladin, Swashbuckler, and Cavalier. Notaby with Cavalier and Paladin, their Smite/Challenge crits with the crit, and a cocatrice cavalier with a x4 weapon can pile on the crits with the outflank feat.

Another interesting Contender is a Bolt Ace Gunslinger, who, with Aspect of the Falcon or Falcon Wing Bracers, can get a 17-20 4x Crossbow that fires out to 100+ yards. You don't need more than 5 levels of it as well.
>>
>>44205681
I thought Tactician Ability only let you share bonus feat you gain from it, and not any other teamwork feat you possesses?
>>
>>44205681
>>44205632
The obvious stuff is an 18-20 weapon(or a crossbow in the case of a bolt ace), improved critical or keen, and something akin to outflank, but I'm sure you know all this already.

You want a class that has a raw bonus to damage from some source that crits when their weapon crits, like a Magus' spells, a Cavalier's Challenge, Dervish Bard or a Paladins smite. Stuff like Bane and Sneak Attack are nice, but crits don't do much for them. You want as many attacks as possible, so two weapon fighting is a good option, but not necessary.

An interesting build that plays off of the TWF build is the Sword and Board build. Why? Well, Bashing Finish. Every time you crit with one weapon you bash with your shield. You'll want a light weapon with an 18-20 range(like a kukri or wakisashi) and a heavy shield. Requires a ton of feats to do, so most classes can't do it easy, but the feat requires level 11 anyhow.
>>
>>44205719
Hmm. Good point. I always figured you could take as many teamwork feats as you wanted and share them. That's was weaker than I thought it was, but my DMs and I would let it work anyway.

In that case, yeah, you'll have to wait. Or have your whole party take it.
>>
>>44205719
That's true until they get Master Tactician at 17th.

>>44205681
I personally like a Cavalier with the Chevalier PrC. You can only do it once a day, but a Full-power Smite and near-full-power Challenge are tasty things.

Ronin/Knight Errant is a great order for it too, since you can force a crit threat once a day

Order of the Warrior can do so as well, and I think maximizes that attack, but Ronin treats the roll as a natural 20, so you can potentially trigger Vorpal off it.
>>
>>44205681
Apparently stacking doesn't work that way. Bolt Ace is pure trash now.

>>
>>44205770
the game is a mess because that's listed under spells instead of core game mechanics
>>
>>44205722
I could drop TWF and focusing on combat reflex/outflank/paired opportunist combo for more attacks.
