Where do you get your art for vampires?
First for shining beacon of Good and Law is the best character archetype.
Is Equipment Trick (Sunrod) still the only early entry method into Evangelist left?
>>46349841

>>46349841
I just look up "pile of ash" on google
Friendly reminder that Silver Dragons polymorphed as respectable young ladies with mocking laughs are the greatest addition to any campaign!
>>46349853
If equipment trick work... shouldn't heighten spell also work?
>>46349909
INCORRECT.
>>46349909
Your fetish is not my fetish.
>>46349958

>>46349978
B-but my fetish is vore.
>>46349986
Your fetishes confuse and frighten me.
Any image or pdf leaks of Inner Seas Faiths yet? I'm particularly interested in pages about Sivanah.

It's like hugging someone tight! But inside out.

Who said anything about me getting aroused? I just find them an amusing archetype to add for an adventure.
Why isn't there "Protection from Neutral" spell? Is there a way to prevent dominate/mind-control from neutral caster?
![736[1].gif](https://i.imgur.com/Zktt1st.gif "736[1].gif")
>>46350299
See, this is why I hate neutrals.
>>46350299
Are you sure that mage is True Neutral if they're using mind control?
>>46350444
I don't see an "Evil" descriptor on the spell, buddy-o.
>>46350444
I mean, the goddess of erasing all your memories and conscripting you into extraplanar armies after you die is Top TN, so...
What would be a fitting code for an order of paladins based around the Pact Servant trait to worship Asmodeus as a LN woman called the "Wily Linguist"?
>>46350507
Not the "Cunning Linguist"?
>>46350507
Their first duty is to make dank meme puns out of the names of all great evils. Tarbuttphon. Lezmufftu. Poonlords of Hassle-on.
>>46350528
Nope, Paizo actually avoided hamfisting a lesbian joke for once.
>>46350665
Anon, the fact that Crystal used the thesaurus function in her word processor doesn't make it any less obvious or hamfisted.
>>46350577
Could be amusing. Pretty sure I'd annoy the proper Asmodean arcanist in the party though.
Then again... Chelaxian noblewoman punishing Chosen One kitsune boy for heresy...
>>46349852
No one is innocent, anon. Everyone fumbles. Everyone falls. Everyone fails.
Evil only has to win once. Why do you even bother?
>>46350741
Of course everyone falls, that's why you have to stand back up!
>>46350684
True, she just can't help hamfisting her lesbians.
>>46350752
I've been away for a while, what did she do this time?

>that last lineIs there something you'd like to confess?
>>46350750
And by then they've already trampled you or moved past you.
It matters not if a wall is rebuilt once the enemy already holds the city.
>>46350850
Wrote a LN feminist cult that worships Asmodeus as a woman called the Wily Linguist.
>>46350945Trumpets
>>46350960
When the wall falls and evil is inside the gate you don't just roll over and accept it, you fight! You fight evil where ever it's at, within or without!
>>46351031
When the wall falls and the enemy has breached the gate, /you have already lost/. To continue fighting such a battle is naive at best and blind recalcitrance at worst.
>>46350011
Why use small image?
>>46350752
Don't worry Anon I got your pun!
>>46351130
>>46351105
Or you rig up the houses to collapse ontop of them as you do a fighting retreat. Leave nothing for evil to profit from.
>>46351105
Says you. You wouldn't imagine how many battles have been won by a feint from the back gates pinning an army half inside the walls.
Walls are a pretty good barrier to use to cut the enemy army into two manageable pieces - hit the breach from both sides and cut off half the army, and slaughter the half inside your walls, then open the gates down the way and lead a sally out holding the head of the pompous enemy commander who got pinned down in narrow streets by a bunch of commoners with longspears.
>>46351209
From whence does this hopeless determination spring, anon?
Why can't you realize your limits?Are you a shounen protagonist?
>>46351209
There is nowhere TO retreat, anon.
Blindly trying to kill as many as you can before dying solved literally nothing.
>>46351490
It helps the next ones to take up the fight.
>>46351545
Just so that the next ones also die? How are you better than evil?
>>46351490
Then you obviously didn't kill enough.
If you'd been better at it, it would've solved significantly more.
I won't pretend that killing more fixes everything: It doesn't. Sometimes you need to heal someone, and you won't heal more whether you kill 6 guys or just 1 with that silver crane maneuver. Sometimes you need to plant a house, or build a tree, and there's a very limited use to killing more people in those circumstances if any.
But when the problem is enemies *PAST* the gate, if you'd been able to kill the right amount, the problem WOULD have then been solved.
I was laying in bed last night and could not for the life of me remember if this was a thing or if it was just a random shitpost and it is going to bother me unless I ask. It's impossible to use claws as anything but "Natural Weapons", correct? You can't grab TWF feats and act as though you were using two "normal" weapons, taking standard iteratives instead of just the two full BAB attacks?
>>46351679
With Feral Combat Training you could use one of your natural weapons with flurry of blows which is practically twf.
>>46351643
WATER THE TREE WITH THEIR BLOOD
>>46351471
>>46351490
>>46351637
Because if you make them bleed for every inch with their own blood it will wear them down. They are not unending in numbers, if you take with you more then you number and leave nothing for them to use they may have victory but at a cost greater then the reward of it.
>>46352070
But what's the point if they still win and you lose even more?
>>46351955
By stopping evil before it begins the world only becomes a better place! Nothing is more good than preventing future evils!
>>46352089
You lose it all either way. A conquering force is generally not going to leave valuables or enemy soldiers in their wake. Especially not ones ment to be the epitome of evil.
>>46352070
>Because if you make them bleed for every inch with their own blood it will wear them down. They are not unending in numbers, if you take with you more then you number and leave nothing for them to use they may have victory but at a cost greater then the reward of it.
Look how that worked out for Germany against Russia during World War I.
>>46352179
That worked pretty swell for Russia, didn't it?
>>46351679
I think catfolk get a weapon that attaches to their claws and kind of turns them into manufactured weapons.
Yeah, claw blades-
These subtle blades can only be used by catfolk with the cat's claws racial trait. Bought in a set of five, they fit over the wearer's claws on one hand. The blades grant the wearer a +1 enhancement bonus on claw attack rolls with that hand and change the weapon type from a natural weapon to a light slashing weapon. Catfolk with the cat's claws racial trait are proficient with this weapon. The claw blades can be enhanced like a masterwork weapon for the normal costs. The listed cost of the item is for one set of five claws for one hand.
>>46352197
Also worked pretty well for Germany, it made Russia take significantly longer to recover and Russia got significantly less out of victory. Germany held out long enough for it to get divided in half so the whole nation didn't become like the other former Soviet Republics
>>46352107
Agreed.
>>46352239
So what you're saying is that standing up against evil is sure to work! Wahaha.
>>46349909
Eeeh? You actually want a woman to boss you around? What a fool!
O~hohohohohoho!
IMO the best first level build is a human fighter 1:
Feats: Power attack, combat reflexes, toughness.
Using a reach weapon. doesn't matter too much which one, and some decent armor. Grab a small bow too, or a sling if money is tight.
This build has no growth potential, but is surprisingly durable and deadly for first level.
Hey /pfg I have a question for you: What is your favourite archetype, item, and feat from UI?
Mine are:
Archetype:Battle Scion(Skald)
Feat: Measure Foe(though I hate the prereq perusual)
Item: Heavy Wrist Launcher(Combo with grapple bolt, flight grapnel, retracting rope, and lighter=Wrist Grappling Hook ability once every 2 hours)
>>46352434
Still gotta be that magical child. I don't care if it's subpar!

Now you're getting it, mortals! Purge souls BEFORE they get a chance to sin!
Would you make a contract with a qlippoth to become a magical girl? They're cute! And all they ask is that you don't sin and don't have babies, which is basically just saying you should stay pure!
Speaking of the chosen one, is there any way to increase an improved familiar's strength? A Silvanshee seems pretty cool, but the whole 3 STR (or a whole whopping 11 for a minute once per day) makes me wonder if there's any way to actually get much use out if its ability to pounce.
>>46352524
So we are restarting the Cathars? Let me go find a pope hat.
>>46352575
Items and buffs? You could potentially get it up +10 points in a stat with items, though that would cost like 160k gold, so not really worth it.
>>46352345
Tohsaka pleases old DMs for exp
>>46352612
+11, but yea, Not worth it.
Can improved familiars take familiar archetypes?What the fuck is with this "slow fading image" captcha? I end up having to click on the same fucking image six times because it keeps being replaced with numbers/water/whatever, and the slow fade is fucking annoying.
>>46352737NOTCANON
>Friendly reminder that pic related is NEUTRAL EVIL
>>46352756
Ah, right, I said +10 because the modifiers are based off of even numbers, but if it starts at an odd then the extra inherent is still useful.
I don't think improved familiars can, because they lose the ability to speak to members of their base species, right?Also those captchas are the worst, they never go through no matter how many times.It took me like a minute to actually post once, because I had to go through three separate fading captchas.
>>46352217
I wonder what the stats of a Claw glove like this would be

>>46352894
>http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/templates/devilbound-creature
>>46352890
The Japanese associate small pointed ears with demons, this is why fantasy Elves have *very* long pointed ears, to show they're not demons.
Here's another pair of demon ears on a filthy crow.
>>46352924
Huh
>>46352930
In Japanese mythology, short pointed ears were characteristic of Youkai.
When the West started shipping fantasy culture to the East, they noticed the Elves had short pointed ears and realized they couldn't let them *keep* those short pointed ears, otherwise people might confuse them with Youkai. Therefore, Elves got huge ears.
Reason >>46352879 has short pointed ears is because she's a monster, not an Elf, and monsters in Japanese mythology have short pointed ears.
>>46352808
>>46352756
i hear magical child can get away with archetypes on improved familiars, but only because their familiars remain the same base familiar by technicality, they just transform into something on the improved familiar list.

Nah, they just modelled things on Warhammer elves, who've always had ears that big so you could see them on the miniatures.
>>46353781
That's the best kind of NTR.
Especially when it's the lesbian lover's brother.
Keep the genes in the family for when the lesbian couple wants some kids and all.

MATCHMAKER
School enchantment (charm) [mind-affecting]; Level bard 2,
mesmerist 2, sorcerer/wizard 3, witch 3
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components S, M (a rose petal)
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target two living creatures
Duration 1 hour/level
Saving Throw Will partial, see text; Spell Resistance yes
You entice the target creatures to become romantically
interested in one another. Each creature saves and applies
spell resistance separately. Both must be affected for the spell
to have an effect. If either creatures has a prior unfriendly or
hostile attitude toward the other, it receives a +4 bonus on its
saving throw.
This spell doesn’t override the targets’ normal sexual
preferences or other limitations. If romantic feelings are
incompatible for this reason, the creature instead feels an
intimate platonic bond with the other.

MERISIEL CONFIRMED FOR LIKING PENIS.
>>46353928
Does that mean the rogue plays for both teams then?
>>46353861
I'm also against most of it. Most of the time no NTR is best NTR indeed...
But there's something about lesbians learning to love the cock...
>>46353949
Yeah, they never made any bones about Meri being bisexual. Kyra is the one who's exclusively lesbian. I seem to recall Merisiel and Valeros were flirting a bit before Kyra joined the party.
...I think they said Valeros is bisexual as well, he just strongly prefers girls.
>>46353702
A dick WOULD be what's required there
>>46353949
>>46353963
Of course she does: she's the original JJ-waifu, and she's only bi at all because he finds lesbians hot and wants to self-insert as her occasionally.
>>46353928
And yet another spell that will be uncomfortable as fuck to use when playing pathfinder with adults. This is the reason that people think we are weird.
>>46353949
>>46353964
I think she is BI? i don't know and really don't care honestly.
>>46353974
>...I think they said Valeros is bisexual as well, he just strongly prefers girls.
Isn't Alain the only one that's confirmed heterosexual? His backstory is essentially "I impregnated one too many courtiers and forced them to the nunnery."
Wait a second, why *does* Golarion have nunneries and "traditional" ways to dispose of pregnant unmarried women? The whole nunnery thing is historically accurate, I thought Paizo wanted their world to be more inclusive and modern.
>>46354022
>Isn't Alain the only one that's confirmed heterosexual? His backstory is essentially "I impregnated one too many courtiers and forced them to the nunnery."
I could've sworn Seoni is "pretty much" heterosexual and Feiya was confirmed straight, too.
Although I don't know how people confirmed Feiya was straight.
>>46353996
If she is his self-insert, why is her character a garbage bin of garbage feats and horrible skill choices
>>46354022
Regional variance, I assume, or inconsistent worldbuilding between multiple writers.
I do find it funny that Alain, despite being neutral, is one of the biggest dicks among the iconics.
>>46354053
See the person self inserting for that answer.
Alain confirmed pigsexual.
>>46353903
Do people honestly enjoy the paizo APs? My experience with them has been terrible. The DM is always a railroader and the players are always powergamers
>>46353792
>>46352996
>>46352890
That's also part of the reason why JRPG characters are stereotyped to have humongous weapons; the models that were sold at the time have to have gigantic (in comparison to the person) weapons wielded or else you wouldn't be able to really tell what they were carrying with any detail. This was then extended outward, so that characters ended up swinging around sword and axes that have no right to be able to be held, let alone used.
>>46354087
>>46354093
>I have a shitty group does that make the aps shit?
No but they are poorly designed and poorly balanced.
Lets say we're going for a low level campaign, Do I lose much from going warpriest instead of cleric?
Not even going to bother with a reach weapon and just codzilla it up with a greatsword.
>>46354073
>I do find it funny that Alain, despite being neutral, is one of the biggest dicks among the iconics.
He's a haughty nobleman that was never told "no" in his life, and became an adventurer not for any reason other than "I'll be able to fuck even *more* chicks this way, awesome!"
>>46354053
None of the Devs know how to actually play their game
>>46352524
Yeah! Use their power to destroy those wicked Knights of the Scarlet Woman!
>>46354166
Basically nothing. Until level 10+ I consider the warpreist to be a straight upgrade to the default cleric.

Seoni hasn't been seen or heard being with someone, per se, but she's admired both the Paladin and Fighter's body before. Ezren is SOMEWHERE (there's an oft-repeated rumor that he's gay, but no one's ever been able to confirm it), and Feiya is terrified of relationships because she was raised by hags. The alchemist is straight but had a serial-killer tinge to it. Valeros hasn't flirted with a man "on-camera", but also knows when to keep it in his pants (for instance, he has flirted with EVERY FEMALE ICONIC at some point, but the only one that he continuously interacts with is Seoni, whom he feels is more of a comrade than a conquest). Alain is the only absolutely-positively confirmed heterosexual iconic.

WHAT'S HIS NAME?
>>46354022
Nunneries were famous in quebec for pregnancy. Well, never officially of course.
But nuns, until they got old, every couple of years would gain weight, go on a "mission" or a "retreat", and return with some poor innocent orphan that they'd found or had handed to them on the way back.
Most of the orphanages were full of the *PRIEST'S* children. They used to sleep in the nunnery, or have "attendents" come help them overnight in their parish house.
>>46354253
He looks stupid. It looks like his legs are ridiculously long.

KUZCOOOOOoh wait what were we talking about again?
>>46354199
I never played a martial before, will I be better suited going low dex with a full plate or more with a breastplate?
I kind of prefer the full plate right now since it leaves me with more stats to spread out but really, I have no idea what I'm doing.
>>46354261
At least Pathfinder clerics aren't obligated to be celibate.
Less of that nonsense of the suspiciously large number of priests looking after their poor, fatherless "nephews."
>>46354245
Too much railroading, too much dungeon crawl, and they pushed the in-setting Pathfinder Society way too hard when it's an utter trash heap of an organization for 'real' non-PFS PCs who actually get important things done.
>>46354261
People don't like to discuss just how much wanton fucking there was going on back in the day, it was so bad a natural herbal contraceptive was harvested to extinction in Europe and has now only survived in texts.
Nunneries and whorehouses were always the final resting place of women who got knocked up.
>>46354253
Francis
>>46354296
Full plate is super great for low levels, but breastplate is probably fine too. What level are you starting at? What do you want your build to look like?
>>46354240
>and Feiya is terrified of relationships because she was raised by hags
Her character bio implies she's *been* in relationships, though. She's awkward and weird around people but it's not said this means people are never interested in being with her.
>>46354307
>when it's an utter trash heap of an organization
Anyone have that collage of their failures?
>>46354296
i don't see the point of using dex if you don't plan to use dex-based weapons and you can get heavy armor.
at level 2 you will afford your perfect complete armor and you will be fine for ages without wasting points into dex.( and btw full plate still allows a +1 to dex; 12 dex is great).
>>46354467
Sometimes 12 dex is super cheap point buy wise, gives you a +1 initiative, and even full plate will let you use that to add to your AC.
Going first is very important.
>>46354342
We're going to start at level 5, 20pt buy. I'm going with 17+2+1 str, 14 dex 14 con 7 int 14 wis and 7 cha. Going to be pretty straightforward and worship Gorum and take Destruction and war as my domains. As for feats I'm thinking Combat reflexes, Improved initiative, Cleave, Power attack and Iron will.
At level 6 I'm split between furious focus or weapon versatility.
One of the players in the group had an order of the beast cavalier that was basically a hippy So every time we would encounter a wild animal she would try to calm it down while the thing was attacking us. I'd wait until things were obviously not going to work out and then just shoot the animal to kingdom come and back in a hail of arrows to which then she (the character) would be angry with my character for interfering. So tonight I decided to wait because I didn't want to get yelled at again and the one time I don't interfere is the time she is brutally eviscerated. The moral of the story is... You're character is likely to die in a very ironic way if you have a strict code.
So hey, druids and shamansand Magaambyans REEEEcan conjure up fey like planar ally now!
What are you gonna call up first, /pfg/? Don't get lewd now, fey are quick to recognize lewdness.
>>46354524
First: be human. The human favored class ability is extra feats, which means you will have 4 fewer feats than a fighter at level 20.
With all those feats, you can do a lot. Mithril breastplate is nice to have, and doesn't kill your speed, so the high dex will be nice.
I recommend a reach weapon, because they give me a hard-on. You might not need combat reflexes, but you have tons of feats so whatever. Crafting might be a serious consideration.
>weapon versatility
I find it not too usefull myself. some DR can be a bitch but often its the wrong material or whatever, and not the wrong damage type.
You also have enough feats to be really good at archery if you want. dry-fucking-the-monster-manual good at archery. But it seems like you want to go for a melee build and that is fine.
>>46354624
Fey have the biggest CR per HD ratio of anything, so this will be really powerful.

>>46354524
i don't think having multiple attack of opportunity each turn is worth much unless one of your party's members is making a build that is all about generating attacks of opportunity for his teammates.
you are usually more than happy with one.
if you play someone who is not full BAB ( you are making a cleric from what i've understood) you won't even have the best damage potential or a bigì chance of finding yourself in the middle of 2 enemies that will generate attack of opportunity.
i think furious focus is really nice at low-intermediate levels, especially for not full BAB character that don't want to see their damage and hit chance being low.

>>46354865
Because he can't comprehend anything other than ranged damage being non-shit.
>>46354848
BP, just because you can't build a Bard for shit doesn't make it bad. Especially since its not really that different than an Inquisitor, except Bard performances are much more useful than Judgements
>>46354892

With archetypes, yes. Cabalist, Magical Child, Psychometrist, Warlock, and Zealot could all hang with bard and inquisitor without trouble.

>bards are great
See...Everyone says this, and I previously though it too. Then I tried to build one and it just isn't actually GOOD at anything it tries to do.
Giving your entire team a +1 at level 5, or a +2 at level 5 is incredibly unimpressive, especially when its most of what your character can do. That a fucking bless spell. The spell list is ok, but not very impressive and they don't have the class abilities to actually do anything well.
Take for example the suggestion ability. Spent two turns, and if someone makes two failed saves you can cast suggestion on them. This is supposed to be good?
inb4 everyone saying "bard is great u a shit" without actually posting any builds that are not a shit that I have been asking for for literally months.

Do i need to post my barbarian build?
>>46354903
It doesn't have anything that makes it better at archery than any other 3/4th BAB class. If you spend all your feats on it you might be ok at it, but an inquisitor or hunter or whatever will just be better.
>>46354970
Bless doesn't buff damage. Inspire courage does, and stacks with the barbarian's Rage, Good Hope, and a variety of other very useful buff spells.
Countersong and Distraction are both fairly useful tools for saving the bacon of your weak-willed companions.
The bard is the best knowledge monkey in the game without trying and does skillmonkey better than rogues much of the time, on top of having a high-utility spell list that enables them to heal, support the party, and control the battlefield with their illusions and enchantments.
They also aren't useless with weapons, unlike full casters. A bard can do pretty well for himself with a dex rapier or shortbow build, particularly if he can arcane strike regularly.
>>46354985
How are the orientations determined on that chart?
Alahazra and Seoni are listed as straight but it's never shown that they're only interested in the penis, same with Feiya.
>>46354828
Prematurely:
Vigilante (Stalker) is Tier 4
Vigilante (Avenger) is Tier 4
Vigilante (Brute) is probably lower end of Tier 4
Vigilante (Magical Child) is low Tier 3 to mid Tier 3
Vigilante (Cabalist) is low Tier 3 to mid Tier 3
Vigilante (Zealot) is low Tier 3 to mid Tier 3
Vigilante (Warlock) is low Tier 3 to mid Tier 3
Vigilante (Mounted Fury) is Tier 4
Vigilante (Psychometrist) is mid Tier 4 to high Tier 4
Vigilante (Wildsoul) is Tier 4
Vigilante (Gunmaster) is low Tier 4, maybe Tier 5
>>46355127
Comics, Paizo employee posts and backstories iirc. Didn't make the chart.
>>46355127
It can be a bit tricky, now that I think about it.
I mean, a character can be in a committed relationship with the opposite sex and still be bisexual, so it can be difficult determining exactly what someone's orientation is if they don't come out and say it themselves.

>without actually posting any builds
The problem is we don't respect you enough because you're a raging assfaggot. Add in the ability mix both your party buffs continuously with either combat or spells, a strong spell list, and versitile performance and Bardic Knowledge makes him the go-to guy for skill checks
Also it's a +2 at 5, not a +1. Actually read the class you retard.
Honestly, I cannot see how you can think Inquisitor is better than Bard when Bard has better skill versatility, and Perform is better than Judgements since its based on duration rather than encounter (the latter being often so short that you usually only end up using Judgement for about 3 rounds until you get more daily uses), plus unlike Judgment you can start off at level 1 with a bonus to BOTH hit and damage and saves. And that's only Inspire Courage. Plus you can even mix around Perform with neat Masterpieces, and Spells like Chord of Shards (which is pretty great for being a lvl 1 spell)
And when you're out of perform, you probably still have a good enough Dex for archery, or you can use combat spells like Bladed Dash.
Seriously, I find it impossible how you think Inquisitor is better than Bard

>Bless doesn't buff damage. Inspire courage does, and stacks with the barbarian's Rage, Good Hope, and a variety of other very useful buff spells.
Sure, and it is a +1. Or a +2 at level 10. that is incredibly neglegable compared to monster HP and probably wont even change the number of actions it takes to kill anything.
>Countersong and Distraction are both fairly useful tools for saving the bacon of your weak-willed companions.
and if the bard could do countersong, distraction, AND courage at the same time it might be interesting, but by the time that happens it is way too late.
>The bard is the best knowledge monkey in the game without trying
the investigator says hi.
>high-utility spell list that enables them to heal, support the party, and control the battlefield with their illusions and enchantments.
Its spell list isn't any better than any other 6th level caster. Glibness is nice I guess.
>They also aren't useless with weapons, unlike full casters. A bard can do pretty well for himself with a dex rapier or shortbow build, particularly if he can arcane strike regularly.
They are useless with weapons compared to every other partial caster. I think they are literally the worst 6th level caster in terms of class features helping them with weapons.
Its not exactly a "terrible" class, and when built well can still be helpful. I just think that its one of the weaker tier 3 classes in the game. It just doesn't do anything particularity well.

After having time to work through the archetypes in-depth:
>Vigilante (Stalker) is T4
>Vigilante (Avenger) is T4
>Vigilante (Brute) is T5
>Vigilante (Magical Child) is T3
>Vigilante (Cabalist) is T3
>Vigilante (Zealot) is T3
>Vigilante (Warlock) is T3
>Vigilante (Mounted Fury) is T4
>Vigilante (Psychometrist) is T3
>Vigilante (Wildsoul) is T4
>Vigilante (Gunmaster) is T5
The whole "low/high T3" thing is silly, but if I was going to rank them from top to bottom, it'd be Warlock/Cabalist, then Psychometrist/Zealot, then Magical Child.

Weren't you the assfaggot complaining earlier about how deraily Enchantment spells are? Which Bards tend to have better access to than Inquiditor's
Also, you still keep getting your bonuses wrong. Maybe that's why you suck so much at playing a Bard.
>>46355290
+1 at level 1. +2 at level 5. I'm not sure what Inspire Courage you're reading.
>Investigator
When he gets 1/2 his level to every knowledge check, lemme know. The bard can also take 10 on any knowledge check six levels earlier without spending a talent on it, and take twenty a couple times a day.
For spell lists, it depends, I guess. I mean, the magus spell list is very heavily based on blasting while the bard's has a lot more utility, and I tend to lean towards the latter.
The Inquisitor is much better at solo kill-you-dead with its judgements and bane-on-demand, but the bard is the single best force multiplier in the game, and I would still argue fairly close to the Investigator for the best at skills.
The Matchmaker spell makes me think of a royal pair in an arranged marriage, who have never actually met each other before but whose engagement rings bind them both in a Matchmaker spell effect.
>>46355344
Your right. I fucked up the courage thing.
Doesn't change that it is bad. It might be good if you have an archer in your party, as it could actually work with all those attacks, but besides that it just doesn't seem that impressive.
>>46355364
>Weren't you the assfaggot complaining earlier about how deraily Enchantment spells are? Which Bards tend to have better access to than Inquiditor's
First: I don't see the need for personal attacks.
Second: The inquisitor is a divine caster.
>>46355379
>+1 at level 1. +2 at level 5. I'm not sure what Inspire Courage you're reading.
The mis-remembered one in my head.
If you are going for knowledge checks, I'm almost sure the empiricist has the bard beat.
Again: Its not like its "super bad" or whatever. I just think it is one of the weaker t3 classes. Partially because it is too much of a generalist, and partially because it depends on other people bringing well built characters to be good.I also don't get why no-one but me posts builds. They aren't that hard to make.

The thing about posting builds/facts/math it that they end the argument. The kinetistist argument would have never ended had I not actually shown what it can doand educated people on how the class actually works. A posted, fully put together build of a bard would easily prove what it can and can't do. You can't argue with numbers.

>You can't argue with numbers.
Except you can. And we do. All the time.
>>46355573
>I didn't think a point need to be made.
I think it does, because I'm looking at their respective spell lists, and it seems to me that the Bard gets much better support for useful Enchantment spells than an Inquisitor does, and actually has the Cha to make good use of them
>>46354053

this was in response to you going off about the inquisitor spell list vs the bard spell list, which I never argued about? The inquisitors spell list isn't that great. Its the other class feature that make it good.
are you just baiting? Because 9/10 if yes. You have me legitimately confused.
>>46356112
Nah. In the book following her de-statueification, there's a single sequence where they're blatantly pushing for her to accompany the PCs (the Asmodeans built a secret prison in her house after they captured her, because reasons lol), and after that there's no point where the mayor or the LG Hellknight lictor can't substitute for her roles.
Also, the Song of Silver wound up being barely relevant to the plot in the end. It's just "treat weapons as silver, teleportation requires a CL check, and the PCs get some save bonuses and fear immunity and a one-time breath of life", a bunch of standard buffs in other words. The Kintargo Contract is the actual key plot device that saves the independence movement from Chelish curbstomping.

You mean a Judgement that is strictly inferior to performance as explained in >>46355251 (which I notice you never addressed, so your probably avoiding it because it proves you wrong), a Domain or Inquisition that doesn't grant spells and either wait until later level to be useful or stays mediocre (except Conversion, that one's genuinely good), crap skill support without specializing in (which all Bards get for essentially free), limited support for dealing with multiple dudes in any meaningful way, and most all of your abilities don't really help the party since Judgement and Solo Tactics only affect you unless you waste spells on it.
The only advantage Inquisitors have over Bards are Detect SLAs and Bane, the latter which is still kinda limited
So no, genuine criticism against the lack of points you make is not trolling. That would be under your accidental purview.

Swift action to activate, plus it can do a lot more than just +1 to hit/damage, and scales a lot faster. It is +2 at 3rd level, +3 at 6th level, +4 at 9th level, etc. Way better than inspire courage, which scales like shit, and takes a standard action to start. It gets easier to activate it, but too little too late.

Conversion is really good. The other are ok, but still are at least something.
>crap skill support without specializing in (which all Bards get for essentially free), limited support for dealing with multiple dudes in any meaningful way, and most all of your abilities don't really help the party since Judgement and Solo Tactics only affect you unless you waste spells on it.
Bards get +1/2 level on knowledge...and inquisitors get +wisdom on knowledge of monsters. Kinda equal honestly? inquisitor wins early easily, bard can catch up later I think.
