Chad Thundercock is a dank meme from robots and foreveralones on 4chan to reference the clean-cut football stars who fucked a dozen girls in High School and never knew what it's like to even be remotely lonely. The female equivalent is Stacey.

Thundercock is a reference to his mighty hammer-like penis, which slays many maidenhoods throughout his life.

Hook him up with a day's worth of extracts, well-labelled and seated in the custom harness that every 20th-level alchemist has designed for their extracts. Have him pay for it all later, since he's sure to win. If not, well, it's just extracts.

Going to start playing in a week or two with some friends, there will be 5 of us + the DM. I really want to roll a witch and pretend to be good, helpful and friendly, while secretly plotting to kill the entire group in their sleep on something.

Being new to this, I'm wondering what's a good way to start? My DM already said that he wouldn't mind if I pulled it off so no problem there.

Any tips in general or specific tips about how to murder my friends would be great, thanks guys. Many loves!

Oh, this is the first time I've played, is it BM to do such a thing? Feels like a stupid question, but I've known these guys forever, I'm pretty sure they'll laugh with me after being mad for a moment.

Part of the story the DM is making is that the races are at war, yet we somehow have come together, I was going to put that in my RP as well, while sparing or killing people of my own race in the party based on their actions throughout the story.

PvP is something that has to be openly discussed at the start. If even a single person in the group isn't okay with PvP, PvP is not okay as it will ruin their fun and in many cases cause the campaign to just fall apart when it finally boils into actual actions.

It's a trust thing. Don't be That Guy.
>>
>>46265216
killing the entire group in their sleep is extremely poor form.
>>
>>46265216
Always be ready for inevitable betrayals (and by ready I mean you're completely fucked if you're incapable of taking down the entire party in a single action when they invariably ALL turn on you all at once: Riven Hourglass' level 9 final counter maneuver is a real treat there) with the nuclear option.

But NEVER be the one who starts the war. Be the one who ends it.

>>46265125
I hope the other players are part of a close group of friends who would take no issue with that kind of behavior, otherwise it'd be pretty dick-ish and /that guy/ territory.

The best way to murder people without them knowing you did it is not to do it, i.e. lead them into traps, lie about the severity of threats - even better if you secretly enhanced them.
You'll want to be very friendly and useful, maybe make up a backstory of being hunted by some vengeful spirit to explain the fact that guy 1 had his throat slit when you were on guard duty.
>>
>>46265216
1) It's a cooperative game (usually). If you go into a game where PC murder is on the table then sure, fine, that's expected because everyone else agreed to it and you're not safe yourself, but if the rest of the players are expecting a fun time and get killed by one of their friends they're going to be (justifiably) upset.

2) If you get into the game you generally spend a lot of time and effort building a character up and you get attached to it, and when that thing dies in what's basically a bullshit way you're not going to be happy about it. Let's say you're playing an MMO and you have your character. You've spent months raiding, getting cool equipment, leveling up, etc. Then one morning you wake up, log in, and he's completely gone because someone hacked your account while you were asleep. You're basically doing that.

Sorry :( I won't do it, but I do think I want to lead people into traps and what not, I think that could be funny. Is this less dickish and more acceptable? Hopefully while not getting them killed and just annoying them or whatever.

As for the close knit group of friends, yeah, we basically play everything together and have done so for the last 5 years. A bit of douchebaggery is not going to tear us apart.

Point taken though!
>>
>>46265318
Talk to them about it, not us. If you want it to be funny, then they need to be in on the joke.

So I had a (probably stupid) idea to build a Harbinger as a sort of witch type character, taking Black Seraph and combining that with Veiled Moon to only have "spell" style maneuvers... all the touch attacks and bursts and whatnot in those two disciplines (I thought about dabbling in Elemental Flux as well, but that turned out to be too costly in terms of getting discipline access).

I've decided to go with Crimson Countess because of the cool Claim and Vitae options that back up the spellcaster-light type feel... but I was wondering about the blood pool option under the modified Grim News.

I keep my normal speed, right? What if I can fly, am I just this thin pool of blood floating through the air? Circle of Razor Feathers is a burst attack, and the blood pool ability only bars me from making melee and ranged attacks... can I still use CoRF? If so, I'm guessing I don't get to enlarge the burst to match my blood pool radius, so where should I center the burst? I know I can seep through small openings and whatnot, does that mean my form is amorphous overall? What exactly happens when my 50 foot radius blood pool tries to go through a 10 foot wide hallway? Can I climb inside a barrel and have an ally cart me around?

I'm really starting to like the character idea, but the game I'm building for (as a backup character) is 10th level, so if there's anybody that could clear this up for me, that'd be great.

(I want to point out that I only have the playtest version of the Harbinger and archetype for the moment.)

My plan is to have a Figment/Sage familiar with Skilled (Disguise), which will impersonate my bat social form whenever my humanoid vigilante form is at work.

When I need to change identities, I'll become the Cute Bat, and my familiar will stop disguising itself and simply be another bat in the crowd.

I want to bully a bull.
>>
>>46265318
See here's the thing; from a character point of view, if you keep leading them into traps and generally being a dick, their characters have no reason to continue adventuring with you. Being an unhelpful ass because you think it's funny isn't any better than trying to murder your party members. You're still initiating PvP, but in this case it's just going to turn into your party justifiably killing you because you are an active danger to the party's survival.
>>
>>46265367

So you want to prep the bull? Sounds like the job of an Ulfen fighter introducing his wife to a Mwangi wizard.
>>
>>46265396
Actually wouldn't mind so much, would laugh if they did turn around and kill me. Though this comes from an inexperienced player, so maybe I won't feel the same way after playing for 10 hours.
>>
>>46265318
Just killing people when you can because you can isn't really fun for any one. I've seen some interesting "I killed the party stories", but those have usually been long-running things with the motivation built up throughout the campaign and with a lot of preparation required. Killing a new party while they are sleeping is easy, over in a short time, has no build-up and all it has accomplished is wasting an evening for your entire group of friends.

If you're going to do something like it, and that is a big if, at least make it something long running. Spy for the BBEG, do nefarious things in secret, lure the others to do your bidding, etc.

Only, and I mean only, try and achieve a TPK if you have no qualms about leaving the game entirely and risk being on bad foot with the rest of the players in the future.

Playing PFS tonight with my semi-Optimized Rogue. Still down to 51 damage (on average) per attack. Its funny how at level 9, with my 2nd level in brawler, I go from 1 attack per round to 4 attacks per full round, plus 7 attacks of opportunity per round with a free AoO every time someone misses me (with Offensive Defense). Not entirely bad, even if I only have +17 to hit.

If he's overworked get him to run a module (or run it yourself and let him play). If that's not it we need more information. What do you think he enjoys about the game and what times does he look bored?

Yeah, it's only really a boost for spontaneous casters. Even the three 3pp books for it are written to address the inherent limitations.

yes and no... it also suffers from massive internal imbalance. Some casters find themselves struggling to have worth equal to a kineticist, while others are only conjuration short of true arcane ability.

None, sadly, and I can't say I ever got with her beyond some heavy groping considering we were both 14 at the time.

People at the trial could only comment on what they saw, so face and hands pretty much. Was probably just a farmer's tan though.

Looking for some RP advice.

My character is currently a cleric of Asmodeus, however I get the feeling we may be going up against some devils or the church of Asmodeus soon.

How should I be able to mentally reconcile this matter? A deal with Hell has no bearing on me, the only ones bound by the deal are those the deal was made with, so if my Church superiors made a deal, or others did, it does not inherently mean I have to go along with it either, right?

That said, the nature of lawful does seem to push me into conforming with Church hierarchy?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the current position on PoW stuff multiplying damage on a crit is that bonus damage from maneuvers never multiplies, regardless of if it's flat or dice, but bonus damage from stances is multiplied if it's a flat bonus?

Bonus dice never multiply, flat modifiers do.

Thanks. Trying to figure out how to get the best damage out of Cascade of Elemental Wrath; it seems like with Elemental Nimbus active, flipping back and forth between elements to get the bonus from Elemental Flux Explosion feat comes out to around the same average damage as sticking with fire thanks to that 2xWis damage with a x3 crit multiplier.

Remember that outside of their pledge to Asmodeus, devils themselves are quite often scheming and planning against each other in a bid to gain more power. It's likely the Church of Asmodeus has similar factionality.
In simpler terms, try diplomacy first, and fight if the attempts break down.

Yes, I meant Primal Fury, as Gareth pointed out.

Any flat damage increase is exactly what the maneuver gives you. Which is still pretty fucking good, especially if you're making multiple attacks (Raging Hunter Pounce + Momentum Crash is 10 damage per hit for every iterative you get, for example).

I can totally see one of they ways they bring PF down in power is to allow those flat damage increases to scale, but lowering/removing the number of attacks or lowering the amounts of damage you can get from different maneuvers. Really, you don't need to tack damage on to every maneuver willy-nilly to make them worth using. They just have to do stuff that is useful IN ADDITION to doing damage.

So we're left with a large-chested athletic tomboyish farm-girl with an uneven tan that sneaks into the faire and holds her own against trained soldiers, powered by her own buff body and strength of will?

Sounds like a keeper to me. And a Chosen One Paladin.

As a cleric of Asmodeus, you should by all means be a capable lawyer.

Deals with hell are something you should specialize in, LEGALLY. I don't mean by this that you should make as many as possible, but rather that you should know how to negotiate good ones in favor of those you like and/or yourself (just as any good devil would).

When you don't like something about any sort of deal, you find loopholes and interpretations. Combat should be a very last resort; ideally the rest of the party should end up scared as FUCK of your ability to make legalese your filthy sow.
>>
>>46267867

I agree with this, but I'm unsure how to actually play it out, you know? Unfortunately in terms of skills my cleric is pretty much empty, so I have no diplomacy or anything along those lines.

Another question. What do you guys use to make your character sheets? Up until now I've been filling them out by hand but I feel as if that method is rendered obselete by the multitude of sheet generators out there.

>>46268350

Myth-Weavers is solid.

I just let YAPCG build my character then transfer all relevant info into a txt doc on my phone.
>>
>>46268350
Libreoffice doc. It also adds up numbers for me.
>>
>>46268350
I use Abellius' character sheets, and then make Google documents based on them. Sometimes I'll download the document as a PDF and store it on my phone so that I have access to it even without internet access.

Myth-weavers has gotten MUCH better compared to how garbage their new format character sheets used to be, but I really don't like relying on a website to store my character sheets.

My GM is using Pathfinder rules with his custom setting, and just gave me permission to play around with the magical language that he`s created. It's basically the secret tongue of wizards, and keeping it out of the hands of muggles is one of the few things they'll always work together on, regardless of race or nationality. There is power in the words, which is why they keep it to themselves. He only has some simple rules it so far, listed below without the lexicon, basically a system of 'free casting', so if anyone has any inspiration I'd love to hear it too.

>Not the entire language just ones used mainly in spell creation.
>by adding somatic or material components to the combination of words used, may change spell.
>A DC 10+5 for every word used arcane knowledge test will enable the wizard to guess at best the spells effects
>If a spell turns out to be stronger then the wizard is able to cast at the moment then roll d20. 2-10 the spell fails and consumes d10 spell slots for the day, 11-19 the spell works and consumes d4 spells for the day, 20 the spell works no spells slots lost, 1 all spell slots lost for the day.

What I'm looking to do is create some new Cyper Lore abilities for the Cyphermage prestige class, since it's already focused on writing, runes, etc. and it would be a hell of a lot easier than creating one from whole cloth.

Random question. So I'm looking at the Small Earth Elemental to recalculate it for potential summoning with augmented summoning, and I'm running into some confusion.

A slam attack is calculated as if it was a 2handed attack if a creature only has one attack. Earth elementals also have power attack. So would their slam attack get the benefit of a 2handed bonus, or the one handed?

And don't sweat it too much, new friend. We were all first time gamers once, and I remember some of my more cringeworthy moments when I was new as well. Though the others are right to warn you that your original plans might be frowned upon, because there's a thousand gaming horror stories about "that guy" ruining a campaign. Though in many cases "that guy" is also not a good friend.

But it is always best practise to approach your fellow gamers and ask them all how they feel about PvP before making any plans for it. And if it's off the table, it doesn't mean there can't be tension among your various characters. There's plenty in my group based on both actions and backgrounds.

I'm really happy that our new player is enjoying herself too. She never played RPG's ever before, and the dice gods have been favoring her well, since her Druid now has two big monsters as permanent pets thanks to good rolls for Charm and skills. And I was able to save her life when my wizard dodged an explosion with a natural 20, and I asked our GM if I could backflip, land next to her, and pour a cure light wounds potion down her throat to save her life. And he was cool with that on several levels, though it wasn't without consequences for the Druid.

This is true, I can use Sense Motive for such purposes, but I still need to RP the situation.

>Grioths wield weapons fashioned from a strange sort of transparent material called voidglass. This material is as hard as steel, but made of crystals that voidglass shapers on unknown worlds grow into the desired shapes. Voidglass resonates with a creature's mind, bolstering thought and mental defenses. ... The creatures (and perhaps other strange beings with similar psychic capabilities) can funnel violent bursts of psychic energy through these weapons on a hit (see page 62). In the hands of any creature, a voidglass piercing or slashing weapon deals 1 additional damage on a hit - bludgeoning weapons gain no benefit.
>Whenever a grioth damages a creature with a voidglass weapon, a surge of violent psychic energy pulses into the victim's body, causing an additional 1d4 points of nonlethal damage. On a confirmed critical hit, this additional nonlethal damage does not increase, but the creature struck must succeed at a DC 13 Will save or become confused for 1d2 rounds. This is a mind-affecting effect. The save DC is Charisma-based and includes a +2 racial bonus.

Would it be fair to allow the grioths' ability to extend to all psychic characters, since 'beings with similar psychic capabilities' is a widespread thing since OA? Is 1000 gp for "+1 lethal, +1d4 nonlethal, shit-DC Confusing Critical" too cheap?

Mostly specialized in Astral Constructs. At lvl 10 with Overchannel and a Torc of Power Preservation you can get up to the 13pp for lvl 7 Astral Constructs.
A Shaper gets 3 options, assuming you also take boost constructs, from the Menu. Natural Invisibility is great and you can easily make for some beast for the level summons.
Other option is an amazing Utility construct via Advanced Constructs for 1hour/ml duration. It can do any task that requires skill checks of DC32 or lower. I like to send them out with a Lyre of Building to do public works projects.

Utility constructs used as mounts are great they never tire so you can spend all day with them running. If you have an ally with a level in Empath you can easily build up a group of higher power astral constructs via Obelisk's spirit power. Lots of fun.

And thats before you get Genesis, which you can augment to the Create Greater Demiplane equivalent at lvl13-14 with some optimization and items. A Demiplane with Timeless is great for storing armies of Astral Constructs or just having a cool base.

Sadly, Paizo decided that potentially letting PCs have that stuff was too powerful. Possession of voidglass is - somehow - an Ex ability on the current version of the grioth, as of Bestiary 5. Yes, having a physical substance is somehow an inherent ability of the creature that PCs can't make use of.

By RAW, it'd only apply to the first attack, since the full attack from pounce happens after the charge.

It's a break in Pounce. Go read the ability, and see rules that literally no one uses.

If its a purely urban game they should have something like a dog (or mastiff for 'advanced' versions), though larger cats, or snakes wouldn't be too bad in fantasy settings. Minks / ferrets / badgers are also good options.

Even birds of prey (hawks, falcons, owls) would be just fine too as controlling animal populations is cool and people could get paid stupid amounts of money to hunt pests like rats.

Yes, unless you take the Enlarged Collective feat.

Fair enough. I haven't carefully read that maneuver in a while, anyway. Doesn't change the fact that it's free damage on a charge attack.

>>46269515
A lot of people would be somewhat freaked out. A guard or something would probably approach to try and do something about it, and the druid/ranger would have to convince them that they're no danger.
>>
>>46271120
Most places would have kennels / stables for 'unusual' creatures in a fantasy setting.

Hell I'd be surprised if nobles weren't trying to breed specialized mounts. Not to mention the average wizards familiar, or elves deciding to fuck around with animal husbandry because they live for literal millennia and that's like 50+ generations of animals right there.

Depending on the society they may require you to stable/kennel your pet (for things like war lions / griphons), to muzzle it (or whatever the equivalent is, be it hooding your falcon or claw capping your tiger) or they just may not give a shit unless you commit a crime.

>>46271494

This seems reasonable considering how fucking crazy Golarion is. Level 1 dudes walk around with magically-bonded scorpions and shit perched on their shoulders, and hippogryphs are actual mounts you can just buy. I imagine that most towns big enough to attract the sorts of people with PC levels would not only be familiar with exotic animals but have means to accommodate them during their stay.

You'll probably get looks from the cityfolk, but it'd be more like the "Look at that guy's big mohawk" as opposed to "Holy shit he's got a gun!"
>>
>>46271494
50 generations for 20 year animals (what are you breeding? Turtles?)

250+ generations for 2-4 year animals (horses, cattle, elephants).

For things on a yearly cycle with relatively early maturity like wolves, lions, dogs etc you could easily get into 500+ generations in the life of a single elf.

I imagine that courtly titles involving animals would be extremely prestigious for elves (master of herds, master of the rookery, master of beasts), cause having centuries to guide the bloodlines and not lose any knowledge could lead to some bullshit. Fucking noble elven cavalry mounted on unicorns belonging to the crown or someshit. Trade in beasts with sylvan realms would probably be rare and expensive (Jesus could you imagine how rich the noble who managed to secure that right would be?) but extremely sought after. Wanna ride around on a smooth gaited (magically fast healing) tiger so you don't suffer penalties to attacks with a lance? Buy one from the elves.

It's not so bad, but life used to be better.

I used to have a routine, y'know? Dolores would be around. She'd wanna go *out* on a Saturday. She'd wanna take the paper and go read it in the park. And now that Dolores isn't around, I could still do that but it's just... Sometimes it's hard to convince myself to go outside, so I decide to stay in. And it's not *bad*.

I have one of those recorders that records the channels on the t.v. so I can watch all my favorite shows and never have to worry about missing any of them, which is wonderful.

But, I can't lie and say I don't miss Dolores every once in a while. But it's mostly just the little things. Like when you're eating dinner and you look across the table and you expect your wife to be there, but then you remember that she's dead. That stuff. That kind of stuff is tough.

I remember she would always put the mustard on my sandwiches for me. And the other day, I made a sandwich and I forgot to put the mustard on and I took a bite into it and I was like, "Why isn't there any mustard on it?". And then I remembered: Dolores is dead. And I cried for hours, just hours, mourning my wife again. It was like the old wound just opened right up again. And I was crying for hours probably, just hours, y'know? Which was fine. It was fine. That's just part of life, y'know? To just cry for hours because your soulmate is gone and she's never coming back. And y'know, that doesn't depress me. It doesn't depress me at all, y'know?

But, listen, those people used to the loudest parties, y'know? And if I can't make a little noise myself, then that's just fair, y'know? It's just fair that I get to make a little noise myself. And its fine, y'know. I don't know, I don't remember the dreams when I wake up but I'd imagine that it's just me dreaming about my wife and how great life was when we were still both alive, when my life had more of a purpose in those days.

And, y'know, I look at her picture a lot. It's just that I look at her picture a lot. Because its right there, y'know, on the bedside and you wake up and go to bed and you're starting your day and ending your day with Dolores. It's hard not to look at the picture. She looks so beautiful in that picture.

But it's fine. It's fine. It's a part of life, y'know? That's part of how life goes.

I miss you, sweetie. I miss you so much.

I'm gonna do it.

"Hey mr.cavalier how'd you become an adventurer and why do you ride a boar?"

"Well when I was four years old I was taken from my dirt poor farmer parents by an elf who noticed me and said 'this simply will not do!'"

"What did he mean? What wouldn't do?"

"It turned out the elf was the grandson of the master of beasts for the sylvan realm of Silverglades which is a hereditary title. And a distant relation of mine saved his great patriarch from certain death in some war or another oh about 5000 years back."

"So what does that have to do with you?"

"Well it turns out that that his great grandpa was so inspired by my great whatever's tenacity and fearlessness that he wondered if he could make a mount the equal of the warrior, and set about breeding one right away. Grandpa had only managed light cavalry before and was curious about heavy cavalry"

"I still don't see how this involves you"

"It really didn't beyond the fact that the patriarch forgot to thank my relation at the time and only realized so some five hundred years after the fact, at which point he decided to wait till the breed of boars was done, forgetting entirely about human lifespans. When the grandson inherited the title, he thought to check up on my family to make sure the breed of boar was a proper compliment to their fighting style and he was abruptly reminded about comically short human lifespans. He decided to take me in and have me trained as a knight even though by his admittance the breed is only about half done, and it simply wouldn't do for our family to fade into complete obscurity before they can thank us with the 'princely gift' of a thousand heavy cavalry boars their armaments - sans riders -, and 150 years worth of assistance in management to some distant descendant of mine"

"So, you're not even part of the deal?"

"No, in some 5000 more years they'll be ready to cause chaos and completely upend the internal politics of another realm"

"Elves have no morals"

To truly play an Evil character, one must become Evil oneself - if only for a moment. Draw on every dastardly deed you've held yourself back from, every unholy urge you've silenced in your quest for societal acceptance, and coalesce it into a single being of vile purpose and hateful cunning.

Take everything that is horrendous, that is despicable, that is degenerate and blasphemous and WRONG about yourself, and create one single entity bearing only these traits.

Forge a bastion of Pure Evil, and marvel at your work, for surely only such a character could be drawn to the calling of this campaign.

Isn't Godwin's Law also named after a poster from back in the day?

Hey, what do you guys think of the 3pp Assassin base class? Too good, too weak? PDF attached and web link below:

Sure

There is a lot of social stuff. A good fit would be someone who:
>can seduce multiple NPCS. high diplomacy/bluff
>can kill people without being fount out.
>???

I didn't read too much into it, but a cha-class seems like a good fit. Anti-Paladin or something. You will want a bit of spell-casting at least.
>>
>>46272872
That's barely a spoiler, and if being told "this character is viable" is enough to deter you from playing the character you obviously weren't too into the idea to begin with.
>>
>>46273037
If you have an unusually broad definition of "poster", sure.

>>46273046
>fluff
It's nice that you have this, but I'll only be checking mechanics.
>nongood only
Off to a rough start.
>3/4 BAB
A class devoted to one specific part of martial combat should not have less than full BAB.
>two bad saves
Reflex does make sense, but it's objectively the weakest save.
>4th-level casting
Lot better than nothing, but it's still not good.

So far, it looks like rogue with a small spell list and death attack. Death attack in its usual form is, frankly, shit. It's unusable in actual combat, and only matters for NPCs, solo campaigns, or unusually flexible parties.

Assassin secrets look mildly interesting and it's an improvement over the base assassin, but from what I understand they get magus casting except even more gimped. It's the bastard son of a rogue and a magus, and is probably about as good as an Unchained rogue, significantly worse than a magus.

t5, t4 maybe, needs full BAB, better saves, and an unique thing to do in a real fight that isn't as shitty as sneak attack or death attack.

I know that feeling anon, I just post here when I want to shit up the thread and see those red !'s.

Why should I get angry when I'm about to have a session with a player I have a history with? We even worked out our backstories last night so they interconnect, as well as be utterly adorable.

oh well, im about to join a campaign in august/july, but since all the other players will be newbies, i'm starting a "prep" adventure (think like... Fairy tail: many people, bulletin board, etc) with over 40 different characters to choose from. Every session a quest, and everyone can change character until they find what they'll like for long term commitment.

i looked for so many cute pictures, for portraits, to lure every kind of player.
Was fun.

>>46272756
You are missing the super buff and dreamy Initiator Husbando
>>
>>46273225
Oh wait, are you the guy with the other player you ERP'd with? What's the backstory?
>>
>>46272756

is that a fucking martial on the left

I'm still waiting to hear back from mine...

You need to email their new address, iirc. Check the archives.

>>46273668
I did.

Ah. Well, that's disappointing.

The FAQ says that the full attack is part of the charge-pounce-full attack, yes.

However:

This is what Pounce does:
>When a creature with this special attack makes a charge, it can make a full attack (including rake attacks if the creature also has the rake ability).

This is what Charge does:
>Charging is a special full-round action that allows you to move up to twice your speed and attack during the action
>After moving, you may make a single melee attack. You get a +2 bonus on the attack roll and take a –2 penalty to your AC until the start of your next turn.
>Even if you have extra attacks, such as from having a high enough base attack bonus or from using multiple weapons, you only get to make one attack during a charge.

Together, by RAW, what happens is:

>Move up to twice speed
>Make a single attack as part of the charge, with a +2 bonus
>Make a full attack afterwards, since that's what Pounce says to do.

Nothing in the FAQ contradicts this. You might be able to argue intent, but it talks about a "charge-pounce-full attack" sequence. That's what the RAW allows you to do.

No one does this by RAW though, not even the devs. Just a weird quirk of the rules.

Lances only apply to the first attack though, so I'd expect Momentum Crash to be errata'd to be the same, instead of +10 damage to everything.

Could an undead cleric cast stuff like cure light wounds or sunbeam without burning himself?
>>
>>46274017
Yes, as long as he's not targeting himself.
>>
>>46272957
>enjoying things

You wonderful faggot
>>
>>46274017
Yep.

I mean, you don't take damage from casting Fireball, and that hurts everyone.
>>
>>46274017
Yah mon. Just like a fleshbag can cast burning hands without burning himself.
>>
>>46272756
>>46273541
What if the one on the left is the initiator?
>>
>>46274040
I always imagine fireball to be "fire just appears in that spot and burns things", not a hadouken

>>46274073
this is a fair point

my main sticking point is that cure light wounds and it's ilk is a touch spell
>>
>>46273979
Momentum crash explicitly only works on 1 attack. Same with momentum crush.

The only maneuver in that line that doesn't explicitly say it only works on 1 attack is Devastating Momentum which is a 7th level maneuver.
>>
>>46274092
I see. That's good to know; I didn't have it up in front of me. Pounce is still weird af though
>>
>>46274083
If it's not a Husbando, then it's not /pfg/
>>
>>46274091
You actually fire a pea-sized bead, which then explodes on impact.
>>
>>46274091
>I always imagine fireball to be "fire just appears in that spot and burns things", not a hadouken

>You point your finger and determine the range (distance and height) at which the fireball is to burst. A glowing, pea-sized bead streaks from the pointing digit and, unless it impacts upon a material body or solid barrier prior to attaining the prescribed range, blossoms into the fireball at that point. An early impact results in an early detonation. If you attempt to send the bead through a narrow passage, such as through an arrow slit, you must “hit” the opening with a ranged touch attack, or else the bead strikes the barrier and detonates prematurely.

According to DSP, two of the martial disciplines are "broken". Which were they again? Broken Blade was one, I think?
>>
>>46274172
Primal Fury
>>
>>46274172
Broken Blade is too powerful
Steel Serpent is too weak

>>46274113
>implying the one on the left can't be a husbando to the other girls
Have you never heard of an Orekko, anon? The turbo-masculine ones are pretty much dudes. I guess it'd technically be a Sesshakko in this case, because samuraispeak.

>>46274172
Broken Blade and Primal Fury do entirely too much damage, mostly from the maneuvers that work as full attack+. The single-attack maneuvers in those disciplines are much less retarded, iirc..
>>
>>46274172
I believe thrashing dragon is getting toned down a bit as well.
>>
>>46264500
Okay so
I need really weird/fantastical pirate captains for a piracy cmpaign. So far, the only ones I've got is an awoken monkey gunslinger and a Sorcerer who's convinced everyone he's the hottest shit on the ocean and never stopped bluffing

Ah, thanks. Some guy is asking me how to replicate Undyne in Pathfinder, I spent way too long trying to figure out how to make a suitably STRONK Psionic Armoury before I remembered Solar Wind existed.
