Pathfinder General /pfg/
Why are you not playing an inquisitor of Bane in the Forgotten Realms with the Bane class feature, the Extended Bane feat, a Bane Baldric, and Bane as a spell known?

Because I'm playing aTower Shield-using Fighter
>>47853294
Because i'm currently playing aBard-a-Dinthen i'm DMing, and after that I want to play theBarbarian/Dragon Disciple, aka ULTIMATE BLOODRAGER
>>47853298
He is, but honestly, there's no need to do it the way he is.
It's as simple as going "If a weapon is finesseable, then you can replace your Str score with your Dex score for all things related to that weapon, whether it be feats, ability DCs, pre-reqs, or damage and to-hit"
And then it's just Effortless Lace or a feat to get any weapon finesseable
What spell should I steal as a Samsaran Druid?
right now I'm thinking about...
Restoration
Break Enchantment
Divine Power
What should I grab for the last one? Miracle?
>>47853348
How would you define a finessable weapon? You still need to categorize them, be it choosing a weapon group or selecting the weapons in question
He's also giving the martials weapon finesse right off the bat, and making them choose other weapon groups as feats
>>47853386
A... weapon that says it can be used with weapon finesse, Anon.
http://theworldissquare.com/feat-taxes-in-pathfinder/
Here.
Weapon Finesse (Combat Proficiency)
Choose one weapon group from the following: light blades, close weapons, and natural weapons.
Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +1.
Benefit: You may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls.
Upon reaching base attack bonus +3, you add your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier to damage rolls.
Special: You can gain this proficiency as a feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new weapon group.
Martial* classes begin play with this Proficiency and need not have the prerequisite normally required. This Proficiency stacks with Finesse Training and Weapon Training. A full caster may purchase this Proficiency as a feat.
*martial includes full BAB classes as well as martial partial casting classes (ie, hunter, magus, inquisitor etc)
May have a look at finessing weapons as well
>>47853406
Finesse weapons should be more than just light weapons, they should at least be light blades, natural and close weapons, which anon is including
>>47853348
I like his idea slightly more than what you're going more, it's more appealing to me
>>47853479
But all of those are already finesseable?
>>47853498
No, swordcanes, bayonets, heavy shields, natural do not count as light weapons
I take it you are also counting exotic weapons into that mix as well?
>>47853479
>natural and close weapons
Both are light weapons
Unarmed strikes are also a light weapon.
>>47853498
Scizore, I'm not going through all of them
>>47853498
They're going by the fighter weapons groups.
>Playing fighter unironically
Will my DM throw books at me if I build my character for bludgeoning DEX-to-damage?
>>47853549
Have a look through the individual weapons in the category, bayonet, heavy shield, scizore
>>47853564
And when the fuck have you ever seen someone EVER use any of those in any way, let alone with dex?
>>47853540
natural weapons are considered light weapons, it says so right there in Weapon Finesse description.
>>47853574
>backpedaling
Yeah, attempted to but couldn't and now they can you fucking cuntnozzle
>>47853559
what, like a rogue using saps/unarmed strikes? What's wrong with that?
>>47853596
I'm thinking more along the lines of an actual bludgeoning weapon. Like a hammer with an effortless lace.
>>47853595
>Hurr getting dex to damage now makes fuckawful weapons viable
But that's wrong, you useless cuntweasle.
>>47853609
>my idea is ignored and shit so I'll just bag out the other guy's because no fun is allowed
>>47853603
>effortless lace
it's magic, anon. It's not like you're breaking the game rules, you're using a magic item to do the exact thing the magic item is intended to do.
though as far as i know, two-handing a dex-to-damage weapon won't give you 1.5x your dex on damage rolls, so at the end of all that it's still inferior to a str character. It does, however, let you TWF with greatclubs or some shit.
>>47853626
>though as far as i know, two-handing a dex-to-damage weapon won't give you 1.5x your dex on damage rolls
It does if you're an UCRogue, they're the one exception besides Mythic Weapon Finesse.
So you can add 1.5 dex to damage with a warhammer as a Rogue.
>>47853626
>>47853633
Moreover, you can pick up Thunder and Fang and add dex to damage with a fucking Earthbreaker.
>>47853348
Honestly having entire weapon groups finessable and having it stack with martial and finesse training!wat right out of the box isn't such a bad idea, especially since you don't have to purchase anything now that he's edited it such it's not exactly a feat per se but can be taken as one
>being corrupted/evil turns her White
Pretty funny to be honest senpai
So.
Is there any reason to ever take Savage Barbarian over Invulnerable Rager?
>>47853883
Self-loathing
>>47853853
it may have more to do with her being a fucking vampire
>>47853895
... so being corrupted or evil turns her white, yes.
>>47853853
what's this from?
>>47853894
Oh great its perfect for me then.
>>47853910
Vampires are inherently pale creatures because they have no heartbeat and thus do not circulate blood. Even dusky people look different when they're clinically dead.
>>47853853
Who is this?
>>47853895
Are you implying Mwangi vampires turn white?
Wait, didn't Mythic (aka, PC+) have some iconics turn black?
Wow, black is power and white is evil.
>>47853853
Now lets be fair.
That's because that bitch is worshiping Zura and that slut is all about becoming a vampire.
>>47853927
Isn't Geb fucking dead and he's still black as fuck?
>>47853937
So is evil power grey or something?
>>47853937
>Goodest most kind and advanced nation is notafrica
>Baddest most evil nation is noteurope
>>47853955
Nope, that's still white, see Antipaladin.
Raw power turns you black because blackness is objectively better.
>>47853348
Finesse
With a finesse weapon you may use your Dex modifier instead of your Str modifier to attack rolls.
A finesse weapon is from the light blade, natural and close weapon groups.
How's that?
>>47853968
Antipaladins wear black armour so it checks out anyway.
>>47853434
tl;dr
>>47853968
WE WUZ HEROES N SHIT
>>47853559
>>47853596
>>47853603
Effortless Lace doesn't work with Bludgeoning Weapon. It specify Slashing or Piercing weapon.
>>47853633
>>47853641
URogue's Finesse doesn't work with those weapon since it ask for "a type of weapon that can be use with weapon finesse". A TYPE.
It doesn't matter if you can finesse with it via other ability or magic item, if that weapon type isn't normally finessable by itself.
Aquatic is the most underrated bloodline for sorcerers.
Raise the deep creates 675000 cubic feet of water, enough to fully cover a battlefield and force everyone to swim.
>>47854026
No stormborn is the most underrated.
>>47854040
Nah people actually think Stormborn is good, its got great spells, great feats, great arcana, and great abilities
Its only bad ability is Ride the Lightning,
>>47853946
Geb is decomposed. Vampires don't rot.
>>47854014
Well, that sucks
>>47853946
Geb is a ghost.
>>47853986
Black armor that gives them power and protection; the maggot-white monster needs black skin to survive.
Once again whitey exploits the proud black for their own nefarious purposes.

>tfw the last antipaladin I played wore mithral parade armour which was shining white as fuck
>the only evil looking bits were pentagram decorations
What are some good sorcerer bloodlines including third party?
>All this persecution complex
While Paizo has a clear bias towards ~diversity~ and being critical of whitey, I wouldn't call them actually malicious, just the ramblings of irrelevant west coast bubble white people.
That said, who here has actually played a character that was genuinely persecuted or discriminated against by another player, or the DM?
Anyone got an Inner Sea Intrigue link just lying around?
>>47853294
>Baneposting discipline when?
When you make it, anon.
>>47854466
I've got a lion noble in a party consisting almost entirely of violent anti-noble assholes.
I give him two sessions before PvP.
>>47854466
Out elf rogue(along with most elves in the setting) have übermench complex and regularly acted disgusted and racist toward me(ratfolk) and the other player at the table( human). It's refreshing honestly to have some inter party conflict.
>>47854640
>Ratfolk
>Unironically playing the sniveling Jew
Lol.
Is a bard that has no spellcasting (but keeps bardic performance) but full BAB,martial weapons, fighter feats and all decent (not good) saves, balanced?
>>47854844
Is that a fighter fix suggestion? Because it sure looks like one.
>>47854844
I'd play it.
Spell-lists are a hassle and I honestly don't like using them. Spells feel sleazy to me. I'd play that class in a moment.
Speaking of, are there any good spell-less archetypes for Paladin?
>>47854892
>Speaking of, are there any good spell-less archetypes for Paladin?
PoWladin.
>>47854746
That was the joke, yes, a ratfolk necromancer who's family is a long line of mithril merchants. He's become more than that now, but he's a merchant at heart.
>>47854892

So I need to send around large amounts of mercenaries. To do this I am using Greater Teleport.
Each time I do this I need to pay for the return trip of the caster, so I get the following:
7*(number of passengers)+2*10, the two being the caster going there and back. Meaning with a minimum level caster for the spell I get 13 per (level 14, and he comes back with a CL1 Greater Teleport). This costs 1050gp.
Using this as a base for travel costs I then try and figure out the cost of mercenaries.
Elite Archers cost 380gp and Elite Soldiers cost 330gp. So 710gp for 10, and if 50% of soldiers fall into either category we consider it 71gp per soldier. With the 1050gp budget for 13 passengers that is 80gp 7sp 9cp per passenger.
This totals as 151gp 7sp 9cp per mercenary transported. This cost per goes down slightly if I can find a higher than level 13 wizard, and goes down greatly if I build capital to get the mercenaries (using downtime rules) rather than pay up front.
If I somehow find a CL20 teleport and always go by building capital the minimum cost is 112gp 8sp 7cp per mercenary.
Does these figures seem reasonable with the system? Honestly I am treading odd territory with this.
>>47854844
What do you mean by "decent (not good) saves"? There's only two progressions, unless you went and made up a third one. Did you do "all bad, but Charisma to saves" or something like that?
>>47855032
I just added +1 to Fortitude and Reflex desu senpai
>>47855022
>he comes back with a CL1 Greater Teleport
whut?
How would you go about making a Cavalier archetype that accurately portrays a Bretonnian Grail Knight?
>>47854844
Nope, it's too weak, weaker than fighter. Also because a primary Int class since it no longer needs Cha for casting.
>>47855032
>>47854892
>>47854876
This is for a super low magic setting BTW, as in the only magic user is a literal dinosaur
>>47855086
He cast Greater Teleport to come back, but only on himself, so he cast it at CL1. You can cast at under your CL and you can cast under the minimum level requirement to learn a spell. (Cast a 1d6 fireball at level 15 or something).
>>47855132
>You can cast at under your CL and you can cast under the minimum level requirement to learn a spell. (Cast a 1d6 fireball at level 15 or something).
Where does it say that?
>>47855157
Under the rules for spells I believe.
>>47855179
"You can cast a spell at a lower caster level than normal, but the caster level you choose must be high enough for you to cast the spell in question, and all level-dependent features must be based on the same caster level."
So... no, you can't cast Greater Teleport at CL 1.
Can someone post the sorcerer mutation from magic tactics?
>>47854844
Well what about a monk with no ki, DEX or STR to hit and damage for unarmed strike,D10 hit die and full BAB
>>47855221
Ah ok. I have to redo the pricing then.
>>47855302
Full BAB makes flurry actually work. Don't remove Ki, monk needs just pure buffs. Slow fall should just be permanent feather fall tbqh
>>47855415
No ki on the setting, the techniques haven't been developed yet
>>47855430
They are fucked the moment someone with DR shows up.
>>47855444
Make a clustered shots ability for unarmed strikes
>>47855444
Why?
>>47855302
....So a Brawler?
>>47855485
Without martial flexibility, which is dumb as shit and with speed, Wis to AC and CMD, evasion etc.Some abilities that need ki will be changed but this is just the base
>>47855476
Because 100 hits each doing 10 damage is going to do nothing against anything with a DR of 10. Fey and Demons in particular are a major problem for monks.
>>47855505
>, which is dumb as shit
You are retarded. Also mutagen mauler.
>>47855514
They can wear rings of silver to bypass silver DR and such
>>47855519
I just don't like it at all.
>>47851578
>way too many proficiencies
Relative to what? Gaining /all/ martial and simple weapons?
If you're making that claim based on looking at the weapon groups on the SRD, keep in mind that includes all weapons written into the game, which means that if you don't want a certain splatbook of weapons, you can keep them out.
Besides, this is a houserule for my game. You don't have to use it.
So what are some ideas you people have for playing thri-kreen?

How would I play a Solaire of Astora type character? I just want to sling lightning bolts and praise the sun!
Would a cleric or paladin of a sun god give me the right abilities and spells?
So I have an eidolon I use to steal things.
He has the following:
+23 to stealth
+19 to escape artist
+17 to disable device
+17 to sleight of hand
Are these good enough to be an effective and generally undetectable thief?
>>47857316
(for reference this is at level 2)
>>47857230
I'd say Warpriest rather.
>>47857230
There is in fact a spell that's basically sunlight bolt.
It seems to be a cleric/oracle-only spell, however.
I'd suggest you look up the "oradin" (oracle/paladin) class combo - you'd be able to utilize that and other holy spells while fighting in the front lines and healing your allies as you did so.
>>47857316
I'd say it's already incredibly high (almost too high)

This is where you should have left.

Literally the only game in town as far as I was aware. Even so I was probably too patient and really wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt at the time because they seemed like nice people OOC.

Sup pfg. Was looking for some advice.
my current group just got a hold of PoW material and wants me to run something wuxia based using the different styles and such. I was wondering how balanced are PoW styles compared to BoNS material since I was thinking of possibly allowing my players access to those as well.
>>47858409Sure why not.
>>47854844
Go look at PoW:E's Rubato.
>>47858583
Without a doubt, PoW is better balanced than BoNS, even discounting some of the more retarded stuff like IHS.
Howdy all. You may remember me from the previous threads
Still looking for critique on my homebrew Initiating archetype for the Bloodrager: The Blood Reaver
>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vtE5ykBrFbVEia47iXl8Y2SaPzVjFGzGoHrPL0P4KlY/edit?usp=sharing
All I got last time I posted was some grammatical suggestions. I really need some honest-to-goodness critique.
Do not be afraid to say if anything in particular is retarded
>>47858583
Discipline design in PoW (and especially in PoW:E) is much stronger, in my opinion. The disciplines are much more thematic, and more mechanically consistent. And, of course, there are a lot more of them, covering a wider range of concepts.
The main ToB discipline you lose out on is Diamond Mind, which runs into issues with Concentration not being a skill anymore. The rest have good analogs (probably getting many ToB names wrong)
Desert Wind: Mix of Elemental Flux and Scarlet Throne (energy and mobility)
Divine Spirit: Silver Crane, with a litle in Black Seraph (two more focused alignment discs as opposed to one general alignment disc)
Iron Heart: Scarlet Throne (master swordsman)
Setting Sun: Fool's Errand
Shadow Hand: Veiled Moon and Steel Serpent
Stone Dragon: Primal Fury (hit it in the face)
Tiger Claw: Thrashing Dragon
>>47858719
>>47858711
Thanks for the info guys. was wondering weather or not to include them. I'll probably just leave BoNS out then and focus on building fluff around the PoW styles. I had the idea to basically make kingdoms based off each style and then have the players go wild on some magical kung fu adventure. Not sure if I'll be able to pull it off, but heres hoping. Any advice on running combat encounters vs an entire group of Initiators? was thinking plenty of mooks ala Dynasty Warriors with generals and other famous warriors acting as boss fights and such. Figured I'd take inspiration for Dark Souls for that such thing though
>>47858583
>BoNS
What is that?
>>47858928
Book of the Nine Swords, also known as the Tome of Battle, was the book that first introduced the rules that were ported over by DSP to create PoW
>>47858948
Ah, right.
I'm just more used to ToB as the acronym.
>>47858956
Yeah, full acronym is ToB:BoNS. WotC got fancy towards the end.
>>47858918
That depends on what disciplines people are using. Most discs are actually not very good against a lot of mooks (you can only counter 1 attack a round, a lot of strikes are single target). Generally, lots of mooks are actually one of the better ways to fight initiators.
For boss fights, give them multiple counters a round (but preferably a lower chance of success, more like a 30-50% instead of a 70-90%), and focus more on debuffs for strikes and boosts. adding damage vs PCs tends to exacerbate rocket tag, which I guess is fun for some people, but I personally dislike it.
>>47859048
Ok then. Good to know. I actually like less enemies at a time as well. That actually gives me an idea I once saw as well. Expand on my kingdoms idea but base the rp out of a central hub city where all the kingdoms merge, so I could use more hidden schools, and back alley brawls and throw in some intrigue shit as well. always love that crap. /tg/ had a thread I remember from a long time ago about basing a city around martial arts and the different zodiac signs as well. maybe ill see if I can put that to good use.
>>47853294
>implying I'm not
I make sure to target the spines of every humanoid enemy I face via flanking.
>>47859159
You could go full Ravnica with this. Each discipline being a guild. Hell, if you use DSP's premade groups half the work is done for you already.
>>47859159
The other thing worth noting is that most initiators have enough maneuvers to focus on 2 disciplines at once, and some can even manage 3. Focusing all your maneuvers in one discipline is generally a weaker option because you end up overspecialized.
>>47859224
>Focusing all your maneuvers in one discipline is generally a weaker option because you end up overspecialized.
I like that thematically, though. Especially for NPC's.
>>47859214
>>47859224
Good Ideas. I think I'll use the ravnica idea to. That shit would be cool. Plenty of opportunity for all the stuff I like there. Thanks for the help anons. Now just have to figure out what the guilds (fighting schools?) would be like and what other things they might control (banking, police, etc.)
>>47859214
Actually, thinking about this, what would it be like if any given character could only use a single discipline ever? Maybe have a special feat to grab a single maneuver from another discipline, but apart from that they're all in on one. Would that promote more interesting maneuver and discipline design?
>>47859263
Now, if you go the Ravnica route, you can full out mix 2 disciplines into one "guild"
Chimera Soul + Unquiet Grave = Monsters
Mithral Current + Scarlet Throne = Duelists
Silver Crane + Black Seraph = Theologians
Eternal Guardian + Cursed Razor = Thugs
Fool's Errand + Broken Blade = Fight Club
Veiled Moon + Steel Serpent = Assassins
Elemental Flux + Riven Hourglass = Mad scientists
And so on
>>47859297
You could seperate disciplines out by how much utility vs offense they have in them, then let people pick one "main" discipline and one "utility" discipline.
>>47859297
I think Primal Fury fits monsters too, maybe better than Unquiet Grave, which I could see being matched with Black Seraph to double down on evil.
>>47859329
Perhaps you could break it down even further. People could build their own school. They choose strikes from one style, boosts from another style, and then counters and stances from another school. doubt it would work but it's an idea.
>>47859329
I've actually done something similar for convenience of choice, but I separate into Style disciplines and Form disciplines. Form discs are the ones that determine your weapon choice
Scarlet Throne (einhander), Broken Blade (unarmed), Primal Fury (two handed), Tempest Gale/Solar Wind (ranged), Piercing Thunder (polearms), Thrashing Dragon (Two Weapon Fighting), Iron Tortoise (shields), and Steel Serpent (light weapons and poison)
Then the Style discs are the enhancers to your combat style.
>>47859364
There's a lot of ways to do the combinations, I was just listing off some combinations that sprang into my head.
>>47859288
I've done that before. Chimera Soul on an abberant Aegis for full shape-shifting goodness. There were obvious gaps in what he could do, but more often than not I was able to find a workaround. Felt kind of like playing an alchemical from Exalted, if that makes any sense.
>>47859485
A Lunar might be more apt.
>>47853434
Now fix your weapon focus rules
>>47853434
This excludes some light weapons. Was that intentional?
>>47859485
Cool how did you end up dividing the styles if you don't mind me asking? think that i might allow my players to build their own unique styles while stating the the originals are based off the guilds in the city. just throwin ideas around at this point. Honestly the more I think about this idea the more I want to DM it.
>>47857864
what kind of shit hole place do you live in where that is the only game in town?
>>47855087
Replace the mount with a squire who has max ranks in Perform (Coconuts).
>>47855475
Something like Pummeling Style, maybe?
Stregone Anon poking in. Someone in my group has been obsessed with VMCs, so I slapped together one for the Stregone on a whim. It's probably a bit ridiculous, but VMCs are all over the place so fuck it, it might as well be something fun and useful.
VMC Stregone:
3rd: Gain Mystic Bolts as a level 1 Stregone, choosing one element. You do not gain extra base damage dice, and you cannot gain another element for your bolts. You may take the Stregone’s Focused Bolts feature as a feat after 5th level.
7th: Gain a Stregone Knack as a 3rd level Stregone. This does not qualify you for the Extra Stregone Knack
11th: Gain the Stregone’s Piercing Bolts feature, treating your Stregone level as -3. You do not gain the extra piercing effect of having a main element.
15th: Gain a Stregone Knack as an 11th level Stregone.
19th: Gain the Stregone’s Break Through Immunity class feature, and increases the piercing effect of the Piercing Bolts feature by 5 (end result of 20 piercing)
Still debating that Ofuda Divine Casting archetype, still not sure what the goal for the Psionics archetype should be.And since someone is inevitably going to ask "what the fuck is a Stregone?": https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GVTXsAAdkxpLjQFfvYzuME3lVyuhAU2chxXrK46vlbA/edit?usp=sharing
SHIT GUYS BETWEEN ALL BEING QUIET ON THE PAIZO FRONT, SHAREANON DROPPING BOOKS OFF DAYS, WEEKS EVEN, BEFORE THEY COME OUT, AND THE CLEANERS DROPPING OUT OF EXISTENCE FOR A WHILE THERE, QANON HASN'T HAD MUCH OF AN EXCUSE TO DROP THE HELL ON BY.

Golly, this Royal class is actually pretty cute.
Also, anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but it also seems to be pretty solidly T3 as well. Anyone find anything bad or abusable with it?
AND YES QANON IS STILL, SORT OF, TAKING CARE OF THE TROVE. SHE'LL HOPEFULLY HAVE IT CAUGHT UP BY THE END OF THE MONTH, BUT MIRACLES DON'T HAPPEN EVERY DAY.

Any idea when we can expect this to be in there? I want it (mostly to see my friends react to it, it's gonna be cute). Also have you gotten the kineticists of porphyra stuff I sent in yet? I checked and didn't see it but just want to confirm that I'm not going crazier.

ONE OF THE PLAYERS IN A CAMPAIGN I AM IN ARE PLAYING A NOBLE SYLPH STYGIAN SLAYER
WHAT RACE AND CLASS SHOULD I BE TO PROPERLY WOO THEM.
>>47859627
Which ones brah?
Not intentional, I'll edit those back in
The best debuffing class is the witch. The best buffer is a Evangelist Cleric (to my knowledge).
What kind of witch specifically is best debuffer?
Seems to be the following would be the best group:
>debuffing/buffing
Time Patron Scarred Witch Doctor
>buffing/battlefield control
War Domain Evangelist Cleric
>battlefield control/damage
Exploiter Illusionist Wizard
>damage/debuffing
Conjugation Exploiter Wizard
>>47861012
>best debuffer
>best buffer
>not mentioning dual cursed oracle
>>47861033
Do oracles outpace witches for debuffing? Or Evangelists for buffing? What do they offer that these don't?
>>47861060
Honestly, oracles don't. the Cleric spell list was made with having access to all of them in mind, and it becomes a shitload worse when you don't have that.
I think he's specifically talking about that one spell I can't remember the name of that puts the effects of your curse on your target, but that alone does not a debuffing class make.
>>47861012
Now that I'm thinking about it, there's also sensei monks, who are amazing at party-wide buffs, especially when combined with other archetypes like monk of the four winds
>>47860983
SYLPHU IN GENERAL ARE SHY AND RETICENT, BECAUSE THEY DON'T FEEL SAFE EXPRESSING THEIR FEELINGS, AND A NOBLE PROBABLY EVEN MORE SO BECAUSE OF THE BURDEN OF LEADERSHIP. BUT THEY LOVE LISTENING TO OTHERS TALK.
YOU'D PROBABLY BE BEST OFF WITH SOMETHING LIKE A HALF-ELF, HALFLING, ETHUMION, TIEFLING.. SOMEONE WHO ALSO FEELS LIKE AN OUTSIDER, BUT IS STILL TALKATIVE, EVEN CHARMING, SO THE SYLPHU DOESN'T FEEL PRESSURED TO ANSWER, JUST LISTEN TO THEIR STORIES.
FOR CLASS.. SOMETHING TRUSTWORTHY AND SOLID, SO THEY FEEL SAFE CONFIDING IN YOU IF THEY EVER NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE. DIVINE CLASSES WORK WELL THANKS TO OUR PRECONCEIVED CULTURAL NOTIONS OF THE PRIESTHOOD, BUT ANYTHING WISE OR KNIGHTLY CAN WORK THE SAME
BE KIND. BE HER FRIEND FIRST. IT MIGHT NOT GET TO COURTING AND THAT'S FINE BECAUSE EVEN THE FRIENDSHIP OF A SYLPHU IS A TREASURE..QANON MAY HAVE BEEN BIASED BY THAT ONE STORY ABOUT THE HALF-DROW PALADIN AND THE SYLPHU. IT'S STILL HER FAVOURITE. SHE MET THAT GUY! WE TALK SOMETIMES!
>>47861141
It gets better when you remember that Sensei doesn't trade out Abundant Step, which is a Ki-powered class ability. You can reposition your entire party as a move action.
>>47861239
Monk of the Four Winds trades out abundant step though
>tfw no one will tell you how shit your homebrew is
>tfw you don't know whether that means its fine or turbo shit
>>47861525
Happens on /pfg/. We claim to love homebrew but are unwilling to help any along. Mostly we're just hypocrites.
>>47861540
I have no idea how to help with most homebrew aside from editing spelling and grammar, actually I may be able to help with the stregone since I've looked into the related classes enough but I'm not sure
>>47861540
I usually do it when I have access to an actual computer (not often) and /pfg/ has helped me on other homebrew projects in the past.
It just takes a few threads or so.
>>47861401
True, and it's a hefty tradeoff between teleporting everyone or giving them three standard actions.
>>47861525
A lot of homebrew suffers being ignored because /pfg/ is like a fickle muse. If it isn't interested in it en-mass, nobody cares. Otherwise people will obsess with it.
t. I posted at least half a dozen homebrew ideas before anyone said anything about it, and even then people narrowly focused on certain parts of what finally got any love at all
>>47861012
>Conjugation Wizard
I uh... I think you mean conjuration?
>>47861918
Post it here, as a fellow homebrewer, I'll give it a viewingin exchange look at mine, its the blood reaver in this thread
>>47853434
I have to say I don't care for all this dex to everything nonsense, it already accounts for so much while stats like str and con account for so little.
I would never allow it into my games unless there were reasonable means to make any stat exchangeable. But at that point why even bother with stats?
>>47861989
Most of it was before I started dumping stuff into GDocs, but I do have one left that I was going to cannibalize parts of it for the latest homebrew. It was an alternative construct companion for the Promethean Alchemist that threw the idea of "combat creature" out the window in favor of "bonus skill monkey and crafting assistant".

>>47862322
What you looking at bro, Paladins?
Cavalier is what you're after. They choose a specific Order to be a part of, which gives them different abilities.
Orders range from normal chivalric shit, to being the world's biggest blowhard, to being a destroyer of worlds, to being FLEX MAN, WRESTLEKNIGHT.
>>47863057
>Get inkling to play Knight in 3.5
>What you looking at bro?
>>47863057
There was a knight class in 3.5, mostly ran on being a sort of weirdly durable bard with no casting.
Interesting, but I think you could do it without transferring over with just cavalier or even magus.
Favorite thing was the capstone that let you spend not-ki-pool uses to continue acting no matter what your health was as long as your body was still vaguely whole because JOLLY CO-OPERATION!
So yeah, warder.
>>47863187
Reminds me of... one of the Order of the Beasts. They have two.
One makes you incapable of dying due to HP damage as long as you can keep killing hard enough.
>>47863187
Knight did challenging and tanking opponents, not much else - not even healing, so it needed other people to pick healers for it to work. d12 hit dice only go so far when the class is actively trying to die.
>>47862140
It's the only way for some classes to deal reasonable damage reliably
Are you being ironic?
>GM asks for criticism after the session, says "[he] can take it."
>Write up some polite, constructive stuff about a specific thing I didn't like
>GM gets pissed off that I criticized it
Just roll20 things.
How do I git gud as a Warlock?
>>47863522
use homebrew, call yourself a warlock while being an initiator or the like, call yourself a warlock while being a real full-caster...
there are many options but none of them involve being the actual warlock.
So guys thri-kreen right, got 4 arms and shit, got multiattack and shit too. What are some ideas you guys would use to take advantage of that?
A reach weapon and a normal weapon non reach weapon?
4 Javelins?
Plain Jane quad wielder?
Sneak attack murderbug?
Double bows? 4 crossbows?
Mount and 4 lances?
I'm honestly leaning towards quadwielding kukris and aiming to be a critmaster but I want to explore other ideas

The 10th level Warder thing for Defensive Focus...
Does that make it LEGITIMATE Difficult Terrain, or just 2x movement cost?
Because you can't 5-foot step or charge/run in Difficult Terrain.
>>47863592
I mean I don't know about that, I'm just trying to have fun with a new character after my bard, who I used every single feat he got on leadership so he could have a new wife. He was quite frankly a useless character after taking leadership like 5 times for 5 wives and spending all his money on them.

If I recall, Kasatha have a dual-bow archetype which is noted as being available for other things with enough arms.
>>47862201

Too narrow a focus for anyone but you to be interested in. This is why it doesn't get feedback.

Why is it that martials and even initiators get this kind of cool shit at level 20 but the casters have had way better shit since like level 10

>>47863522
Ask your DM if you can make/obtain magic items that make your Mystic Bolts be not shit, such as giving an enhancement bonus, extra range, and elemental resist piercing. Ask if you can take extra vigilante talents by trading feats.
Alternatively, ask if you can be that "totally not a warlock" class that one anon made.

Joke's on you, I'm playing an agent of CIA with the CIA class feature, the Extended CIA feat, a CIA Baldric, and CIA as a spell known.
Pretty new to Pathfinder and I'm trying to build a necromancer via an Oracle of Bones. What's a good feat to take? Already have an ability similar to Spell Focus: Necromancy through an Elf racial, though I'm considering taking Greater Spell Focus.
Intending to play as a skills person. If it helps stats are STR12 DEX10 CON13 INT18 WIS16 CHA16
>>47863789
>do shit like bite your head off when mating
actually, its been observed by experimenting with mantises in captivity that they actually don't eat their mate's head when there's enough available food in the environment, since the head eating is done to give energy to the mama and developing young.
>gouge your bowels out and lay eggs in them
That's only a particular kind of bedbug, and they're horrible creatures to begin with, and should not be considered the norm.
>>47863720
Nigga, that's the main reason most homebrew doesn't get looked at. There's a ton of things that have an extremely narrow focus that only the person making it probably has any interest in it. You'll never know if anyone else cares unless you throw it out there from time to time.Plus that shit was fun as fuck to make.
>>47863801
Define skills person. Also >18 int oracle
Are you trying to raise an army of the dead? Make a giant bone mecha to fight from? Suck out souls, put them in paperweights, and give them out as party favors? Suck the life out of people? Wear a skull bra and suck dick? Just plain suck?

Juju Oracle is one of the best necromancers. I'd suggest switching your mystery to that. Even if you don't like the flavor of "AUEAUEA <throws frog but is actually casting bestow curse> UUBUGUBUBULI <reads some entrails to get a bonus to next roll>" you can pretty safely re-flavor it in many ways. Or you can go full witch doctor if you're into that.
Regardless, Juju is an AMAZING option for necromancy on Oracle. Like, it's super duper good.
Regardless of what mystery you go for, I'd suggest the Noble Scion (of War) feat to pump your initiative - as a caster, going first is very important. After that, look into getting Charnel Soldiers and a good teamwork feat (my character uses Escape Route)
Also, your most important stat is Charisma. You use it for spells but also for wrestling control of other people's undead or controlling your own if you've got intelligent ones. It should be your highest stat. Also, you want to put a good amount of points into DEX so that you can hit ranged touch spells - there are plenty and they are all very good and you want them to land properly.
If you want to be a "skills person" an Oracle, especially a necromancer, is not a good option. If you'd like to be a "necromancer-esque" skill monkey, I suggest the Dirge Bard. It's a Bard, so it's quite good at being the party skill-check-roller, and it eventually gains some very flavorful necromantic capacity with Dance of the Dead. It's definitely nowhere near as powerful as the Oracle, but Bard is by far better at skills.
Generally, though, as an Oracle, you'll be able to just magic stuff away and won't need skills.
Super-duper ultra pro tip:
Convert your character to a half-elf for the Paragon Surge feat (if your GM allows it)! It's absolutely amazing and you'll love having it.
>>47862140
And this?>>47853973
>>47863859
Someone who knows stuff. Have a fair bit invested in knowledge skills, also bluff, disguise and heal as I'd play the character as someone pretending to be a doctor with a few skeletons disguised as assistants.
As for role, something more of a generalist. I'd rather have a small amount of more powerful undead, tricky as it is to bind intelligent undead. Party support would be nice too. Looked at Juju Oracle but didn't like the flavour.
>>47863993
Dammit, Paragon Surge is a spell, not a feat. My mistake.
>>47863993
>Juju
How does Juju differ from Bones though?
>>47863479
dealing damage reliably doesn't justify breaking the system by making dex the only stat that matters.
On top of that just about any one can do damage reliably so are you being ironic?
>>47853973
>>47864017
Redundant.
Just wondering, can a Barbarian execute PoW Maneuvers while raging?
My sons have left, so I'm back, for a certain value of 'back'. I apologize in advance if I'm snappish, unresponsive, or drunk.
In much better news, check pic related. Should be out in electronic form within the week, with print to follow.
>>47864120
Yes. In fact, the Primal Disciple Barbarian is, arguably, all about initiating maneuvers while raging.
>>47864120
Yes unless they require a skill check he's forbidden from using.
>>47863763
Put a few words in your document.
Right now it looks mostly like a side grade -- Trading spells for maneuvers is typically a downgrade and a bloodrager is already damaging enough to not really need it.
Vitae is a neat thing, but you'll probably want to unpack the wording instead of just referencing it. This will make it easier to understand.
Bloodlines to disciplines is neat
You might want to check wording on spellcasting, spell like abilities, and the lack of being a spellcaster for how their spells work. I don't know if it'll be an issue, but it'd be something to look into.
>>47858718
>>47861989
Alright, so I had to go actually look up the crimson countess because I never checked it before, but I gotta say. I dig this. The way you use Vitae is cool, and I was never a very big fan of the bloodrager's casting anyway.
>>47864138
>>47864140
yeah, unpacking it as we speak
