Question for you /pfag/s.

Do you consider an oracle's curse more of an asset or detriment to a player mechanically?

I ask because one of my players is arguing for a curseless oracle (technically it's a flavor based curse, rather than anything mechanical) and I'm not sure how that would shake out balance-wise.
>>
>>46427899
Curses are a double-edged sword.

Haunted is neat, Tongues is okay, Burnt is... unfortunate. I cannot, however, recommend Blind.

Guy who's used this picture for character art in previous games here. This isn't a character from any fiction, it's just part of a set of interesting character designs. The anon was asking for build ideas based on the character's look and feel, nothing more. Here's another from the same set.

>>46427899
Oracles have curses. Its just how they are.
>>
>>46427890

Now, see, I know how important HAM can be, but I've been looking at the SRD, and I can't help but wonder if it's worth it putting a point or two in Cheese. What do you think, too MAD?
>>
>>46427899
Depends, some of them are relatively mild enough that it's not too bad even before you start getting the extra effects.
>>
>>46427899
Balance-wise, the Oracle is damn strong even with the curse, so giving him a curse that doesn't hurt him at all should obviously not give him any interesting or good powers in return.

You get out what you put in, effectively, and if your curse doesn't do anything meaningful, then you shouldn't get anything meaningful from it.
>>
>>46427933
Got a link to the full set?
>>
>>46427899
Curses vary widely in terms of benefit or detriment. The Tongues curse is easily ignored just by having someone else in the party who can speak the same language as you, and the Lame curse doesn't matter if you already plan to wear medium armor or heavier. Meanwhile Clouded Vision can be a huge detriment, and you don't even get See in Darkness out of it

How to statting Serah Kerrigan / queen of blades. Infested Terran / primal Zerg form.

Her primary powers seem to be drawn from psychometabolism, telepathy (all psi index 5-8 terrans are psychics), telekinesis (psi index 8-10 terrans are rare enough to be thought a myth, but they're the ones that actually have telekinetic powers). Serah and Nova are as far as I'm aware the only class 10 terrans. Kerrigan once infested became class 11, and after she undid the head fuckery in sc1 she was class 12 (arguably the most powerful psychic in setting, barring stuff like multiple merged archons). After going primal her psi index was apparently off the damn charts.

10 to 50, then any special materials, plus the cost of the lock.

Well much like there's qualities of locks I'm assuming there'd have to be multiple quality levels for the belt. This example let's just say a mundane, plain but comfortable belt for a girl.

I'm also assuming the size of the creature would play a part, so let's say Medium. Humanoid also.

How do I pyromancer, /pfg/? I've found a few different choices like Flame-Spirit Shaman, DSP's Pyrokineticist prestige class, and Fire Kineticist but I figured I'd check to see if there was something I overlooked.

Blasting is obviously an advantage, but ideally also something with the ability to not fry teammates, and the ability to not be useless when something fire-immune comes along, either due to some ability to penetrate/negate/remove immunity or just the ability to do something else (buff, control) while he can't deal damage.

How does it move if it merges with something without self propulsion?
Can it cast spells if it merges with something that has no mouth?

>So a few questions, what happens if it merges with a sword, is it able to attack with itself?
Right now, no, but I should probably add that in.

>How does it move if it merges with something without self propulsion?
>Can it cast spells if it merges with something that has no mouth?
It still has its own stats, so it can do everything a normal creature can. Presumably it grows legs/a mouth. That's why it gives a Disguise bonus to look like an inanimate object instead of being able to automatically pass as one.

>>46429252
Something melee and tanky, by the looks of it. I'd suggest Warder if DSP was allowed. Maybe Paladin or Barbarian, or possibly a melee focused alchemist.

Investigators focused on the Monstrous Physique extracts (TL;DR four-armed gargoyle natural attack build) are beast, and can do a ton of things outside of combat.

Bloodragers are really fun in terms of just murdering stuff. You can even do it in full armor or on a horse via archetype, and you get to have some Cha, although not a lot because you're probably just casting self-buffs.

Paladins are great frontliners. Also Cha.

Summoners, ditto. Mounted lancer summoners are cute.

Wizards are gods, it's not a meme, it's true, pretending it isn't true won't make it go away. All other classes exist to tank for, coupe de grace for, or save spell slots for the wizard. It's just the nature of the beast. In my games wizards are NPC-only classes who have inherited a shard of the one true God. It helps explain their imbalance without forcing me to actually deal with trying to balance spellcasting.

Let's see...hunters are a little like summoners, and while they do better ranged they're perfectly respectable melee or mounted and their animal companion is pretty much the best in the game.

Oh! Slayers are the Int-ish frontliners. Completely fucking ruinous, tons of skills, so much damage, death attacks.

Don't skimp on lock quality, no power tools to get you out of things, and paying wizards for "knock"/open lock is embarrassing.

It's a place deep within the underdark, untouched from the surface world. It's a place of magic regulated by something known as a keeper maybe? I don't remember. There is a vast sea vault that spans greater than any other sea above ground. There is also another vault that is In a more or less dinosaur era. Maybe these vaults are keep as a library of things past. Was wondering if some other dm's have ever used one of these settings and could go into further detail

>>
>>46427899
within a certain character idea they are a 99% advantage, but they also fluff the oracle and make him looks cool.
for example the lame oracle clearly is not hindered if he already plans to wear heavy armor.
you can think of it in those terms: his life sucked but he menaged to find a way to not suffer from his curse and turn it into advantage.

if the player is not satisfied with the few curses presented in the books you should invent a new one based around what the player plans to do with the class; make it a minor advantage that also inconvenience and softlock him into the role.

overall they play a small role in the balance of this very strong class, so it's not a big difference if they are removed...but they are such a good opportunity to make an interesting and charming character.

I find the Lunar, Wood and elemental oracles pretty close to a druid, desu, although it may be best to put the beast shapes on their spell lists.
>>
>>46431918
basically yes.

kineticist only if he uses his powers.
druid, clerics, paladins, other divinely inspired classes have moderate or minor restriction to behaviour they have to follow to avoid being punished by gods and lose their class privileges.
characters with Arcane bond can lose some of their powers if they see their bonded familiar or object be destroyed so they have to play around that.

but none of that makes the character really lose something in comparison to a level 1 commoner.

I play as Huge McStrong and my opponents are quickly discovering that they simply cannot hit me because of ridiculous AC so they simply stop attacking me..
is it possible to grab a smaller opponent and just bash them against my shield?
>>
>>46433176
Why?
>>
>>46433195
You mean like a grapple maneuver?
>>
>>46433280
maybe? I have never really looked into the whole grappling thingey because of the entire meme about the rules being 500 pages long or whatever.

I just want to get mad at enemies not taking a swordswing at me, grabbing them by the neck and then repeatedly bashing them against my spiked shield until they stop squirming
>>
>>46433314
Grappling in 3.5 was a headache. Grappling in PF is a bit better. You could also look into Hamatula Strike to literally stick enemies to your shield.

Monsters as PCs.
I managed to get my GM to agree with me using a monster as character. Since the rules state that CR equals the effective character level, does that mean that I can advance it using monster advancement rules instead of adding class levels to it?
Since it is a high level mythic adventure, adding the first levels of any class wouldn't have much of an impact I guess, plus it would be quite troublesome to justify flavors wise.

Anyone else have experience in using monsters as PCs in a high level adventure?

>http://www.d20pfsrd.com/path-of-war/classes/warder

>At 2nd level, a warder is trained in how best to control her enemies and how they behave in battle, urging them to throw their all against the warder's indomitable armor and unyielding shield. With a sharp blade, a clever taunt, or something that otherwise attracts her foe, the warder can direct the attention of enemies towards himself. Whenever the warder attacks a foe in combat and inflict at least 1 point of damage, as a free action she may mark them as her foe (he may even mark a foe during an attack of opportunity and may make the free action to do so, even though it is not her turn) and attempt to continue to force them to engage the warder only. The target is aware of being marked, and the mark remains for a number of rounds equal to the warder's Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). Marked targets suffer a -4 penalty to attack rolls against foes that are not the warder, and arcane spellcasters suffer

grabbing is pain and usuallly mesh badly with shield, but this warder's feature let you force enemies to attack you. other similar effects might be cavalier's duel.
The game doesn't have many ways to make a tank character viable, although improving your positioning, size and ability to do attacks of opportunity ( eventually breaking into reach weapons) might be one way to achieve it.
having high AC is usually a way to make the enemies want to hit your companions, so if yourplayer make enemies take tactically correct decisions the best you can do is increase your damage output.

>>46433400
Because you can do it as a free action as part of a shield bash.
>>
>>46433336
i remember that in 3.5 you used to take the monster's base form, eventually stripped of some powers based on DM decision, make it count as it were a fixed amount of levels in a class(based on its CR), then take class levels on top of it.
for example a powerful experience and character level 10 cleric minotaur character was actually a minotaur 2/ cleric 8 " multiclass" character.

if the mosnter is too strong to count as a level 0 base form this might be how to make it usable.

>>46433454
I WAS in on it, and that's basically... the entire story already. Not to speak ill of anyone (or at least, TRYING not to, but I'm only human), but yeah, one guy hit a phenomenally higher balance point than the rest of the party, given that we were told to build for fun, not power. The DM amped the challenge up to compensate by throwing a single at us with a CR probably twice what we could handle, no adds just the one guy, and we just kind of sat around impotently missing everything we did while the gargantuan cohort punched it for the entire first session and half of the next. After it died, our healer brought it back to life and we befriended it, just to thumb our nose at the Psion. The next few sessions could basically be summed up as "the Psion and Cohort do everything mechanical, the shota Paladin alternately is molested by his magical dullahan armour, and molests his ever-growing harem of demonic DMPCs, and everyone else is summarily ignored or overruled". I dropped out pretty quick.

But building for power IS fun! In fact, the overwhelming majority of time spent playing Pathfinder for most people, especially people on /pfg/, will be crafting builds!

>>46433563
Hey man, you go right ahead and join up then

My games are...not like that. Is...is that how your games are? Are you okay?
>>
>>46433563
To be fair though in an ERP game you're way more heavily focused on fluff than mechanics. Plus if there's bad ends sometimes you don't want to win
>>
>>46433443

Yeah, figured this out as well, but pathfinder specific rules take the base form of the monster and then just add levels so assuming the monsters starts as CR 5, it can only gain 15 levels, when other players will have lvl 20 characters. For most classes the final 5 levels are the most interesting, and this campaign starts at level 15, so having a "mutilated" character would make it not worth the effort.
>>
>>46433598
But I don't want badends! In fact, the only reason I'd join an ERP game is to spite the DM and every other player by avoiding lewd and playing it as a normal game!

Confirmed, all truths.

I joined up because I was desperate it was a game that would let me use PoW and the DM promised lewds would stay in PMs and I wouldn't have to do or see it if I wasn't into it. That lasted until just after the first session ended, when the DM fucked the gnoll instantly pregnant as... some sort of glow-dog?

The players were honestly pretty okay guys though, I just wasn't into their deal. Except the shota paladin, he was legit creepy.

Anon, they asked for details, and that's what I gave. I've said more than once now that I wasn't upset by it, I simply wasn't into it and I chose to leave. I'm not interested in ERP, but I joined because the character generation rules were interesting and generous, and I was told I wouldn't have to watch or participate. When that turned out to be untrue, I simply took my leave. I have no hard feelings, why would I? I took a fair shot at something and didn't like it. That's how life works.

Know what? Since I was crazy enough to join that campaign I might as well ask you fine folk for advice on race creation. Specifically, I want to build a Dragonborn, the rootiest tootiest Dragonborn you've ever seen, probably playing as a Zweihander Sentinel for maximum tank.

Since I'm working with 20 RP, what traits and abilities should I shove on this race? Should I invest 10 RP into the "Dragon" Type, which offers little but makes sense for the race itself?

hey DSP related question. for the elemental flux counter eldritch consumption can you use it on a fireball? cause I feel like the raw might be that you're not the "target" of the fireball since it's a aoe but at the same time it feels weird that I can absorb magic but not magic that's only incidentally burning my face.
>>
>>46434311
I don't have my copy of the book on hand right now to look at the text of that specific maneuver, but if it specifies that you need to be the "target" of the spell then it wouldn't work against AoEs, since their target is an area.

So what are the thoughts on the Medic so far? I was thinking it's recovery mechanic is to strong and the sanguinist might need a cap on he blood it can hold when combined with something with fast healing or regen. The fast healing is manageable but if a troll prisoner is taken the character could be able to bank up 1000s (what ever 450 x initiation modifier is (That is pre-10, 10-19 its 450xnumber of attacks×initiation mod) of healing a day while someone is preparing spells, that can be applied in a swift action.

Should probably mention I made some changes to the medic this morning. They've got a good Will save now and I toned down Cura Te Ipsum to a scaling bonus to REF and WILL.

They've also got a new ability:

>Improved Treatment (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, when the medic treats deadly wounds, the creature she treats recovers hit points and ability score damage as if it had rested for a full day. At 6th level, when the medic treats a creature’s deadly wounds it recover hit points as if it had rested for a full day with long term care. At 11th level, when the medic treat deadly wounds, the creature recovers hit point and ability damage as if it had rested for 3 days.
>>
>>46434153

>Dragon - 10 RP
>Advanced ability scores - 4 RP
>Natural Armor (2) - 3 RP

That's 17 RP for type, +2 natural armor and some good ability scores. That Dragon type is killing you, though you could maybe save 4 RP by replacing Advanced with +2 Strength +2 Intelligence/Charisma -2 Dexterity.

Breath weapon? Forget about it, that won't scale well and will end up being kinda silly. Claws and tail could work.

Or, you could just tweak the existing Lizardfolk race (only 8 RP) and make the character dragon-blooded, rather than straight up dragon.

Cost of the lock for mundane stuff.

Next up are intelligent magic items, give them some powers to defend the bearer against magical enemies of their chastity (dimension door, summons etc). Costs depends on the abilities, just use the formulas.

Next up is artifacts, for which there is little guide for pricing. I'd say an immune to all but disjunction and wish chastity belt should cost >50K, if it has to be wish immune I'd say >100k.

>>46434866
It was originally just an archetype you had to take to have access to totem powers... but since it didn't trade anything, there was no reason for every barbarian in existence not to have it.

Then in UC, someone slipped in the thing about not being able to use multiple totems "unless you have the totem warrior," presumably because they too didn't see the point of it being an archetype as it was.

But then the Higher Powers freaked out over, I dunno, Beast/Dragon being 2strong4u? And errata'd it to lock it back into its original nothing position.
