>>48162857
Asking again here; how do we figure out using the giant robots in 'mixed' fashion?
They're worth too much for standard WBL (BP*20gp maybe, but probably no less) but are also not enough to eat equivalent class levels on their own.
>>48163125
I'll be honest, this is my first time using google docs, I have no actual idea what I'm doing.
>>48163168
If people aren't interested then don't use them, spastic.
>>48163180
When you select your options to share the doc, there's one that says "people can view/comment/edit". Change that to "people with the link can comment."

IMFUCKINGPOSSIBLE. YOU MAY AS WELL ASK HOW YOU CAN BALANCE ONLY ONE PERSON HAVING MAGIC ITEMS. SPOILERS: YOU CANNOT

Good that we both know you already lost.
>>48162857
You guys haven't even seen the Atomic Warlock, the Chessmaster, the Architect, the Croupier, the Henchlling, the Guide, or my particular favorite the Multiman. Wait until QANON comes back befre deciding which class is the craziest.
My favorites from Gonzo 1 are the Living Bomb PrC (Allahu Snackbar), the Toon (for playing Bugs Bunny) and the Punk (parkour based Dragoon ie, gains extra damage by juming up and falling on enemies, and has a spray paint tagging breath attack and an at-will ghost sound personal soundtrack)

Newfag.
Man, you guys really need to stop taking the bait. At least until September when the summerfags stop shitting up the place.
Anyone know the logic behind requiring a +1 enhancement bonus to add on special abilities? Some 3.5 oldfag explained it to me at one point but he quit my group and now i forget.

You realize QANON is a girl, right? And that magic items that are beyond the standard +stats still need to be balanced around the fact that EVERYONE is going to have them instead of just one person?
I get the distinct feeling you just showed up to stir shit without actually knowing anything. Here, take another anime reaction image to get upset about and leave.
>>48163340
dw familaminate I know all about the hentacles.
>>48163340
>proper 4chan terminology
lol
>>48163205
Actually it does lock out and replace certain magic items.
Someone with just a mecha instead of a class would be *weaker* than the rest of the party.
The book itself states that the problem with someone having it is that they'd also have all that money (WBL), which is of course unbalanced.
However this is exactly the kind of thing (like much of this book) where half a group will go "MUST HAVE NOW" and the other group will never even get into one, so in order for any of the system to ever work, we need some kind of equivalency.
The lack of one, in this case, given their own explanation, is "Banning Weapon: Price +5, Cost +2" levels of whoopsie.
Now help me calculate.
So how the fuck do the mecha rules even work?
>>48162882

>>48163469
"All gaming systems should be terribly flawed and exploitable if you want everyone to be happy with them. This allows for a wide variety of power levels for games for different levels of players."
While PoW isn't as flawed and exploitable as the rest of PF, having stronger options is good for it. Every single one of the full initiators is overpowered; if you want sane games play with the archetypes.
>>48163469
>crafting abuse
Oh yeah, that's definitely what broke the game.
>>48163419
Mechs have a 'level' and build points, along with basic stats for their frame (think 'race'). You're in total cover when in them, so they give a layer of health, etc.
You then buy fucktons of abilities for them, deciding the engine (how much power per round you have), legs, size, weapons, etc.
Main balancing issues I could find for anon's 'mixing' are that their *starting* base frame HP is very high, with the assumption everyone is in one of these and they're quite tough. That would need to go down.
The Build Points are 'by level' which is a different issue; it has no direct GP equivalence, and you can't use your WBL to upgrade the thing either - so as to not give cloaks of protection,etc to the mech... unless GM allows it (but in that case you don't have it when outside of the thing).
They come in different flavors like mechanical, necromantic, abberations, etc.
Personally I think it would have to limit the pilot to NPC wealth if you were to mix the two, and definitely can't start at level 1 with one due to the health.
Main drawback is of course that if the thing gets trashed, you're screwed, and repairs will be incredibly expensive (fixing constructs) without magic, as well as long.

Corrosive Bolt Optimization
Primal Earth: +1 Damage per die to Earth/Acid spells
Copper Dragon: +1 Damage per die to Earth/Acid spells
If Crossblooded/Wildblooded are ruled not to stack, only one of them applies. That means damage goes down by quite a bit.
Blood Havoc: +1 Damage per die to bloodline spells or school spells with Spell Focus
FC Sorcerer (Dwarf): +.5 Damage per level of Sorcerer
VMC Admixture Wizard: +.5 Damage per level
Blood Intensity: As Intensified Spell (nonstacking), but adds up to CHA mod in dice
Turns out I misread my own notes: damage at 8th is actually as follows:
>Normal: 5d4+23 (Primal Earth 5 + Copper Dragon 5 + Blood Havoc 5 + Dwarf 4 + Admixture 4)
>Blood Intensity (CHA 16+) adds dice up to CL, so total is now 8d4+(8x3+8=32)
>Empowered adds 50%, so +4d4+12 (only damage dice bonus counts, level is only applied once)
>Total at 8th assuming all sources of "+1 per damage die" stack: 12d4+44
>Corrosive Bolt deals damage twice, once every turn for 2 turns, so 24d4+88
>Lengthy doubles spell duration to 4 turns, so 48d4+176
Assuming one of the bloodlines doesn't apply, it drops to 12d4+(12x2+8=32) times four.
No SR, no save, with a damage type that is rare to be immune against (and piss easy to switch on the fly thanks to Admixture).
So yeah. It's the munchkin'est interpretation of the rules there with the bloodlines, but even with that removed, it's quite a whallop. Add in more metamagic shenanigans via Magical Lineage and Wayang Spellhunter, and the fact that nobody expects a dwarf sorc to not suck begin with, much less a WoP one... it's helluva ride.
Is there any class that specializes in having a pet besides a summoner? Like having a bound devil/angel/outsider(specifically only one strong creature at a time) that serves them? 3rd party allowed
Yo all, N. Jolly here, the one running the Legendary Vigilantes playtest. First of all, you've all been awesome, this playtest has helped refine a lot of content, lead to new content, and generally been great all around.
Since two of my LG products have gotten reviews, I've decided to release some of the Saturday archetypes early. I did Mercurial Duelist yesterday, and today I figured I'd come over and see which archetype out of the three remaining ones you'd like to have posted first.
The options are Mad Scientist, Inquisitive Detective, and Trickshot Sniper.
Friends, I'm building a Flame Oracle/Paladin Tiefling that worships Hestia.
Since the character will be demon-blooded, what are some good demons I should look at for the character's appearance or anatomy? His thing will be all about the hearth, flames and cinder, so an ash motif would work extremely well if you have any suggestions for appearance.
>>48163962
Look at Dark Souls 3 assets for inspiration.
One of my players wants to start one level lower than the rest of the party, except that his character will be a gestalt character. Is this something I should allow? Nobody else in the party is playing gestalt.
>>48164018
No you should not allow this. Gestalt is way too powerful to have in a party in which not everyone is doing it.
>>48163505
> That quote
Snowbluff?
>>48163915
>Trickshot Sniper
Is Trickshot Sniper for trick arrows shooters like Green Arrow and Hawkeye? That one.
If not, I vote Mad Scientist.
>>48163915
Detective.
>>48163225
>doesn't know what "cuck" means even in the metaphorical sense
>>48164056
Yep, it's not just trick shots, it's mostly trick arrows, except it's not just arrows. Trickshot sniper can also be used with crossbow bolts, firearm bullets, sling bullets, and with a talent, mystic bolts.
I figure I'll give an hour or two for voting before posting it.
>>48164018
Absolutely not.
>>48163791
Spheres of Power has the Conjuration sphere that does this. There's also the Spiritualist from Occult Adventures.
Actually, I'll give a little more info on Mad Scientist and Inquisitive Detective.
Mad scientist lets you either pick between bombs or mutagen, with some neat buffs for certain discoveries (being able to use a second explosive missile a round), while mutagen lets you take brute talents and eventually increase in size.
Inquisitive detective trades some social talents away for inspiration as well as basically stacking with every other archetype due to it being a social based archetype.
>>48164080
what about with beam weapons?
>>48164134
God dammit, i love both those things.
Still voting Detective.
>>48164151
Like tech weapons? I could probably include those too, I need to read over the tech guide more before I can speak to its balance, but I don't have a huge problem with including them.>>48164152
So that's 1 for Detective, and 1 for Trickshot.
>>48164178
Mad. Scientist.
>>48163915
>>48164134
The playtest has been an absolute blast, and I seriously hope this stuff becomes widely used and cannot wait to see the final book. I already want to play at least half the stuff from the book, especially a Dragon Champion/Mercurial Duelist.
Is the Inquisitive Detective the one that you said might be for slapping on top of archetypes that don't want the appearance abilities, in addition to replacing some social talents? Because if so, DROP THAT SHIT. I want to see what other kinds of bandaids you have to slap over the Warlock/Zealot/Noble Soul.I also legit feel kind of ridiculous with how many of the suggestions have been mine. Sitting here with a list of unposted comments. Like giving a Str Mercurial Duelist the option to pick up the Oracle's "Cha-to-AC and reflex instead of Dex" ability up as a talent, just to keep Dex from overshadowing it too hard.
>>48163590
It does remember me the Half-orc pyroblaster: Burning Hands 5d4+16 at level 3. Though your Acid Dwarf totally wins the Rule of Cool contest.

Hey guys I'm trying to design a monster here and I'm not sure what his CR should be.
It's a crocodile with the half-dragon template (black). On his own that should be CR 4.
The trick is that I'm advancing him with 4 HD in the Dragon type, so he should be able to Vital Strike with his bite. Adding 4 HD would give him a total of 7 HD which is what a CR 6 creature might have. (Compared to a Wyvern).
His CR should be about 7-9 then right?
>>48164193
Looks like it's 1 vote all now.
Here's one of the mutagen talents
Evolving Mutagen (Su) Whenever the mad scientist imbibes their mutagen, they gain 1 evolution pointPU as though they were a bipedal unchained eidolonPU for the duration of their mutagen. A mad scientist does not need to meet subtypes requirements to select an evolution. At 6th level and every 6 levels thereafter, they gain an additional evolution point when imbibing their mutagen (up to a maximum of 4 at 18th level). Only a mutant mad scientist can select this talent.
>>48164229
I'm glad everyone's having fun, this has been really awesome for me too. And yeah, Detective is another 'throw on' archetype, although I might do some more tinkering with it once it hits the doc because that's what I do.
And I'd be totally fine with giving M. duelist something like that, although dex already has a talent tax. Speaking of which, how's everyone feeling on the Mercurial Duelist? Too weeby? Just weeby enough?
>>48164314
Use http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/rules-for-monsters/monster-creation#table-monster-statistics-by-cr for a rough comparison to determine the CR.
>>48163791
Hunters have really strong pets, and Divine Hunter archetype allows your pet to become Celestial or Fiendish
They also have the best Iconic Waifu
>>48163315
Probably coz that's what makes it magic, and you need magic to make things magic-er.
Or they wanted to gate the cool stuff behind that +1 tax, one of the two.
>>48164359
Thanks based on the stats I have for him and that chart I'd probably say he's a CR 8. (9 in advantageous terrain)
>>48164391
She also looks like her left hip is badly dislocated.
How poorly built is she?
>>48164432
>How poorly built is she?
I'm fairly sure they haven't given stats for Adowyn.
She's a real cutie though, that's for sure; of all the Iconics she's probably the most down-to-earth with a solid motivation for adventure that isn't some shade of "I want power" or "my childhood was so fucked up."She worships Erastil, too. She's pretty much your common country-girl with an uncommon call to adventure.
>>48164276
Thanks. I did build it on rule of cool initially, because I like the idea of going against racial stereotypes, but I didn't expect it to be quite so effective.
It's even possible to do without going full WoP Sorc: Take Experimental Spellcaster (Corrosive Bolt) as your 5th level feat, keep all you normal spells.
>>48164325
>asking if something is too weeby

Clearly it is not weeb enough if you have to ask.
>Giving the Mercurial Duelist Cha-to-AC/Reflex
But when are you going torip off the Brutal Slayer and give us Str-to-AC/reflex?
Turret Specialist Anon here.
I've made lots of progress with the archetype, but I need ideas for capstones.

>>48164178
For the most part the tech weapons are spectacularly overpriced (20 000 for a 2d6 energy rifle, 10gp per "charge" which is individual ammo but some things require multiple charges per shot), require two or more colossal artifact structures to craft (one powerplant and different labs depending on the items...) but resolve against touch-AC at all ranges.
Balancewise most of them are flat out useless because you'll not be able to keep them charged, but they're okay if you use one of the rare bypasses (Henshin Hero, Warsoul, Armorist, etc) that let you field the things without having to pay 10-50gp per "shot".
Of course, we all know what energy damage means once resistances come into play, and if you look at the price, they're in play when you can get one, so in reality the better high-tech weapons are the older 'advanced' or 'moderns' like double-barreled firearms or a Nagant rifle.
After all you can't Clustered Shots a Cold-Immune thing dead!
>>48164474
Do you have a link to more information about her? I've never played a hunter before and I've been thinking of building one. I know not to take build inspiration from Paizo, but it would be nice to get some ideas in terms of backstory/personality.
>>48163590
If Crossblooded/Wildblooded don't stack, just take Crossblooded with Orc and Copper Dragon. Same effect.
>>48164519
Sure, http://paizo.com/paizo/blog/v5748dyo5lgdk?Meet-the-Iconics-Adowyn
Consider yourself a hunter (as in the profession) or woodsman with a fancy pet, maybe a cub or pup you rescued in the forest.
>>48164488
I like to be sure on how weeby something can be, call it a personality quirk.
And I doubt I'll do that...probably...maybe...
>>48164517
So to make them viable, the archetype would have to come with some kind of bypass for a weapon that already makes firearms look cheap...beautiful.
>>48163791
If this includes animal companions, you have a lot of options. If not there's the ones that have been mentioned already, plus the Nightmare Constructor archetype for Dread.
What CR would a Thunderstorm with these features have?
70% chance of getting hit by a thunder
Thunder deals 10d6 shock damage (DC 23 halves)
We travelled through it to avoid losing tracks of our enemies,swimming through a river with Swim DC 20.
What's your opinion?
>>48164564
Well you can probably just let the abilities affect them, and let us worry about the rest. More a matter of compatibility since you'd listed "bolts, bullets, thrown, not just arrows" or the like, that I was asking about.
>>48164670
I forgot to say that the 70% is meant to be the chance per round.
>>48164752
Jesus fucking christ, well enjoy that tpk.
That's absolutely insane.
If my GM pulled that on me, I'd walk away.
>>48164504
If you haven't already done so, you could draw some inspiration from the Architect class in >>48163125 , which is heavily based on placing towers.
>>48164775
Actually, I survived. I need the answer to know how much exp did i get. It was fun.
>>48164670
Thunder is just sound. People cannot be hit by thunder. You're describing lightning.
Also, there is no such thing as a storm in which you have a 70% chance of being struck by lightning, and this is just a very efficient way to kill your party and make them mad at you for designing a bullshit environment.
>>48164325
Well, what you COULD do is make the Iaijutsu slash only replace the specialization and 8th level talent, since you're not actually "getting" the vital strike feats... Then at 4th level, give the choice between two options: The Oracle-rip Cha-to-AC/Reflex ability with some small extra, OR you can choose... Shit, I dunno, Power Attack without needing to meet the Str requirement?
>>48164775
Jesus, how much fucking lightening is there if EVERYONE has a 70% chance every round. The place should be a fucking fire ball, everyone should be deaf and dead. Lets say you make the save 60% of the time.
.6*.7*10*3.5 = 14.7. So lets say average 15 damage per round to every player. That will kill a level 10 character given 10 rounds. So they will be dead after a minute outside.
>>48164670
Consider the fact that on average, your party will receive 35*0.7=24.5 damage per round (if they don't make the savong throw). How long would they last inside that?
>>48164670
To me that sounds like several mid-level magical traps working together.
70% chance of getting hit by lightning is ridiculous, are you all wearing magic lightning rods?
What feats are good for an archery based character?
>>48164670
Is your campaign based on Final Fantasy X?
>>48164687
And added technological weapons, they're janky, but if people want to use them, I won't stop them from using garbage. Didn't have thrown ammunition listed before, so that's now added.
>>48164827
I actually probably could, now that they're not getting the feats, I don't think it needs to take the 4th level talent too. I could make 4th either Finesse Blade or Cha to AC/Reflex, since they're almost the same there.
>>48164820
15 damage per round 70% chance. Under trap rules that is roughly:
Perception Check -1
Disable Device (not disableable) +4
Reflex save 23 +1
Attack Bonus (70% chance autohit) +2
Average Damage (35 multiple targets) +6
Automatic Reset +1
Over how wide of an area is it? It's around a CR 12 trap.
>>48164864
I like catch-off guard, since drawing an arrow is a free action I always have a melee weapon at the ready just in case.
>>48164825
Sorry, non native english and trying to sort this out real quick, thanks for the input
>>48164858
There were 2 of us, 1 died after the 7th round, I barely made it to a safe place.
>>48164861
The GM is just inexperienced, we're not even mad :)
>>48164865
no
>>48164820
The kind of GM who would do that to you isn't the kind who would give XP for it.
>>48164864
Point-Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, Precise Shot, Manyshot, and Clustered Shots are all pretty much necessary, and after that things like Far Shot and Shot on the Run are nice to have.
>>48164924
He is not mean at all, he is actually and willing to "pay" it as a CR 14
>>48164905
You seem like a better player than he is a GM
>>48164952
Thanks, but seriously, he's chill and very talkative about what's going wrong and what not. I've seen better mastered campaign by very shittier people who made me want to rage quit.

>>48165419
From the Magus Mindblade archetype? That might be hard, but I can try to find some way to include it.
>>48165488
Nevermind, I'm retarded and deleted my post after realising I misunderstood the issue at hand.
>>48165488
>>48165500
I'm just very tired today, sorry.
>>48165500
It's all good, I was wondering how that'd work, although I think mystic bolts fills that role well enough. No free enhancement, but you can already get mystic accuracy/deft shot or deft shot/genius vigilante, so they should be fine.
If I'm playing a Hawkguard Warder do I still gain Combat Reflexes as a bonus feat?
>>48165539
I have a feeling they were talking about the Soulknife's Mindblade, from DSP's psionics.Magic items for Mystic Bolts when?
>>48165232
She's got a primal connection to the wolf, anon.
She's not fucking the wolf, she's feeling the wolf fucking a wolf, or tearing into a deer or hunting or whatever. She's basically relishing the raw sensations that wolf's enjoying while around her.
>>48165581
That was the other thing I was assuming, I doubt LG wants me using DSP material. As for a magic item for mystic bolts, that'd be fair.
Mercurial Duelist no longer loses talents for iaijutsu slash because it's about as damaging as hidden strike, no reason to penalize it.
We're still at 1 vote each for Inquisitive Detective, Mad Scientist, and Trickshot Sniper, so if anyone else has a vote for which one gets posted today, please let me know. You've all helped make this playtest a lot of fun, and it hasn't even been a week already.
>>48165572
Yes, the archetype doesn't say you don't get it, just that it functions at long-range.
>>48165592
I actually like this explanation. It gives a distinct Bran Stark vibe
>>48165592
>she's feeling the wolf fucking a wolf
that's almost as bad, anon.someone post the "don't fuck dogs" momiji image, I don't have it for some reason
>>48165572
Don't see why not.
>>48165623
2 for Detective, since you apparently forgot >>48164229
I'll also throw in my vote for Detective
>>48165623
More magic items in general would be neat. Most of the focus has been on the archetypes and Vigilante Talents, which is good... But damn son, a good magic item or few would be pretty swell. Maybe a unique sword sheath for the Mercurial Duelist, a pair of gloves and armbands for the Warlock, maybe some sweet tattoos that anyone could use, and of course, ahairbandfor the Fortune Thief.
>>48165592
>she's got a primal connection with the wolf
Wait, does this mean a hunter with a female wolf companion will go through heat?
>>48165669
I did, it was hidden, like a detective. So that's 3 for detective, 1 for scientist, 1 for trickshot
.>>48165714
I can work on some more magic items, although the new bracers for mystic bolt are going to make me have to rethink deft shot and the feats stacking.
>>48166184
>>48166184
Fuck you, that's just a straight buff to everything
>>48166184
I think that's outside of my jurisdiction. For spellcasting alone, it'd be too powerful. Plus I don't want to step on anyone's toes.
New items include bracers of mystic power and sheathe of perfect defense, might be making an iaijutsu swordcane too, possibly a special (cross)bow for the trickshot sniper once I release it, and other fun things like that. I'll give voting another 2 hours and then decide the winner.
>>48166294
+1 for Trickshot Sniper
>>48166184
>open it up to all classes with Charisma-based class features
How about no. Instead, why don't wegive Warlock the ability to switch to being a spontaneous caster and cha-based, just to spite you.
>>48166350
I would like this. Spontaneous Chaster Best Caster.
>>48166319
Awesome, so that's 3 detective, 2 trickshot, 1 mad scientist. To give you all an idea of what I have planned for trickshot, here's one of the talents.
Burning Ammo (Ex) [ammo] All damage from this ammo is fire damage. On a successful attack, the foe must make a Reflex saving throw or catch fire for a number of rounds equal to the trickshot sniper’s Charisma modifier (minimum 1). This fire damage ignores an amount of fire resistance equal to half the trickshot sniper’s level. At 8th level, this ammo deals splash damage equal to the minimum damage of this attack. At 14th level, this ammo burns hot enough to ignore all fire resistance a foe possesses, treating fire immunity as resist 30.
DDS has a vigilante archetype that bases on trick shots too, but mine couldn't be more different from theirs.
Hello everyone! I have been working on the Unchained Fighter & Scholar homebrews. After the feedback I received I have made a lot of edits to the Scholar class, and added multiple new Equipment, Armor, and Weapon trainings to the Unchained Fighter.
You can check them both out at the following links:

>>48166414
Detective Please.
>>48166414
>Trickshot
However I was the one who asked about the tech compatibility earlier so it's possibly you've already counted me.
The other two could be interesting anyways.
>>48166482
If I'm being honest, this was always a 2 horse race in my mind, I was always going to post detective early since it's pretty small, so it's now been added. It's not massive, and I might add some detective talents to it later.
I will however still post whoever wins between Mad Scientist and Trickshot Sniper today, and the second most votes tomorrow.
>>48166515
I'll still count it, Trickshot is 3, Mad Scientist is 1.
>>48166414
>Level 14
There we go. It's important to be able to deal with immunities, as that shit starts showing up everywhere.
Most of the time I'm forced to go E.Flux and Elemental Focus just to be able to do something.
>>48166523
I feel bad for that. Mad Scientist is probably great too.
Damn you!
>>48166523
Another for Mad Scientist here
>>48166599
3 for trick shot and 2 for scientist, so let me post another scientist talent.
False Tooth (Ex) The mad scientist can craft a false tooth for themselves, filling it with an infusion of their choice. As an immediate action, the mad scientist can crack the tooth, imbibing the infusion as they do A mad scientist can only craft a false tooth for themselves and can only have one false tooth at any time, taking 8 hours to craft a new one. At 10th level, the mad scientist can have two false teeth at the same time.

I agree that something like this should be an item, but an immediate action extract is pretty powerful. Also spoilers, they get alchemist casting AND the infusion discovery for free since it should have always been a part of the class.
>>48163125
>Book of Lewd Desires
Welp, they know /pfg/
Amusing that it only shows what the book holder might imagine, might be useful to have a greater version that reveals the fantasies of those it illustrates. For blackmail obviously.
>>48166685
The false tooth does seem a bit like equipment, yes, but then most potions/extracts/etc are of greater volume than fit in a tooth. Maybe part of the process is distilling it down to fit in the tooth. Pretty sure there was a false tooth item already, but it was more for poison, which works in smaller doses anyway.
>>48166718
I feel like that would make it a cursed item.
I'm planning on altering a few Alignment rules for a campaign, and I'm wondering if I missed anything. So far I've got this: Alignment is something that was defined by the gods, and only really matters to them and their followers. The basic rule of thumb is that you share the alignment of your home plane, and the Material Plane is neutral. If you're not a divine caster with the "Aura" class feature, undead, or an Outsider with an alignment subtype, your personal alignment basically doesn't matter and you detect as and are affected by spells as though you were True Neutral. Those with Aura treat their alignment as their god's rather than their own if different, but they are still limited to being within one step on either axis if that applies.
This has the effect of making most mortal races undetectable by Detect Evil (and its variants) even if they're of a high level, while the things that do ping, ping pretty hard. It would also make stuff like evil people (without Auras) wielding holy swords possible without gaining negative levels, and the aligned spells like Holy Word, Chaos Hammer, etc. affect most creatures as neutral, but have their full effects reserved for Demons, Angels, etc. or divine casters. I'll probably do away with Dispel Balance and its ilk in this system.
My question is, does this break anything I may have missed? Does this system work?
I am playing a 10th level Insinuator anti-paladin and right now I have 14k burning a hole in my pocket.
I am stumped on what to buy, my weapon is good but I am still on a +1 fullplate (AC23) so what can you fine folks recommend for me? Doing ROTRL if that makes any difference.
>>48166788
How so? Point it at someone, learn their fantasies, blackmail.
A good cursed version might be one that broadcasts the owner's desires to everyone and can't be shut off.
How much house-ruling is acceptable, and how much would make it not Pathfinder any more? I am asking for a friend.
>>48166774
A search of the PF SRD came up with nothing. There was a false tooth in 3.5, but it could only be filled with a few things, nothing like an extract.
Also remember that if either Legendary Kineticists or the Kinetic Shinobis hit 3 new reviews on either OBS, Paizo, or OGS, I'll post both Mad Scientist and Trickshot Sniper tonight. I don't think I mentioned that here, but it's on the paizo thread. We're already at 2 (both for the kinetic shinobi on OBS).
At this point, I'm almost afraid I'll have to split up Legendary Vigilantes into 2 different books. Remember, if you want to be credited as a playtester in the book, make sure to comment on the comment thread in the doc.

MOTHERFUCKER
>>48166237
Anyone with experimental wordcasting to get free animate dead.
>>48166921
Yeah, sorry about that, I really wanted it to stack with as many archetypes as possible, so I had to pull that feature. The appearance abilities are basically free slots for archetype fodder, so if it modified them, it wouldn't stack nearly as much. I'm thinking of folding the all knowledge skills into the Inquisitive Inspiration so you could take it with Warlock and other stuff.
>>48166944
Then Juju Oracle it is.
But you should have noted in advance that you're playing without variant rules.
>>48166879
And if you use Background Skills, you can even take Artistry (literature) and not spend any real skills on it
>>48166882
I can see it being confusing. Might even need yet another version that can implant your fantasies in the target's mind as a compulsion effect. Maybe it just works, maybe you have to illustrate it yourself to make it harder to resist?
>>48166972
Those variant rules that no GM has ever allowed and none ever will? Yes, very important to note that you're not using those.
>>48167000
My last PC was a wordcasting sorcerer.
And right now I'm DM'in with wordcasting allowed.
Every fucking game I've ever been in allowed wordcasters.
>>48166954
It makes sense, it's just annoying, since the appearance abilities are really situational and... Boring. At least I think they're boring.I am also disappointed that it locks the Warlock out of trading Genius Vigilante for the first talent, but that's hardly a dealbreaker since you can do some talent fuckery and have everything you need by level 7.

Why did you delete your posts, tho?
>>48167043
No, you're entirely right, I find them boring and not fun to play around, especially without stalker talents. They're just gold to make other things work, since it's almost entirely a vigilante talent based class without them.
>>48167049
Let the wearer use their hair like the prehensile hair witch hex and that'd be a pretty fun cursed item, desu.
I'm also pretty sure that's sort of what happened when Ky Kiske gotturned into a part-gear part human hybrid, but I am also not up to date on the deepest lore of my anime fighting games.
>>48167108
It's not supposed to be a fun cursed item, but it /does/ make an interesting option for witches to never have to worry about their hair being shorn mid-combat.
Maybe just being prehensile, like the tail option tieflings get?
>>48163915
Why not share all three?

I want to turn my alchemist into an abomination of science and templates.
New player here. Is there an optimal build for an evil-aligned cleric? Things like which domains to take and what feats I should have. What weapon would be best to use, along with the enhancements I should put on it. Stuffs a little overwhelming when I think about it, and I don't want to fuck it up and regret my decision the entire game.
Really though, I just want to be able to aid my team and do some pretty good damage, or if I'm ever alone I'd be capable enough to solo fights efficiently. Pretty sure someone in here has this down to a science and can suggest good load of shit to do.

hey pfg i'm entertaining feat progression for a bard i'm currently playing; ive already grabbed:
Harmonic Spell
nemesis [story feat]
Improved Initiative
and for future feats i was thinking [not in any particular order]
Discordant Voice
Arcane Strike
Point-Blank Shot
Precise Shot
Cluster Shots
Deadly Aim
Rapid Shot
Manyshot
I was also entertaining Leadership, but I wasn't sure which of the above to drop for it - i also considered Bullseye shot and Lingering Performance but I wasn't sure where they would fit
I fucking love The Path of the Hellknight.
>>48168450
Whats that? The new Hellknight Book, or that one PoW Hellknight homebrew no one paid attention to because it seemed kinda stupid?
>>48162857
Gentlemen, i posit a question for you.
Mystic Theurge as a base class.
Who did it better?
Kobold Press?
Or Purple Duck Games?
>>48168582
DSP.
>>48168582
Perhaps you could post their two versions if they're on the SRD? So the rest of us who haven't looked at them can form an opinion.
Then maybe I can give an answer
>>48168602
Your memes are shit
>>48168569
The Hellknight Book. Pretty nice really. Though it strikes me as odd that so many fullcasters have levels in Hellknight instead of Signifier.
>>48168654
The Kobold press one is on the SRD,

I'll upload the PDG version to Google,

>>48168654
DSP's stuff is generally better than most other company's.
>>48168671
Yeah, that is weird. I guess the reason why The Gate hasn't gone full Big Brother on the world is because they're all actually incompetent.
Also, I absolutely love Godclaw and Scourge. I wish I could make a version of the "Absolutely Disgusting" meme with the Godclaw's Lictor
>>48168742
I know, but they haven't made a Theurge. The closest they got is the PSionic/Caster PrC, and that's limited to Arcane
>>48168747
I play a paladin/hellknight of the Scourge in one game. People were surprised how chill he is, I guess they expected double Hitler.

Alright, I'll give them a look, but I can't promise a quick response, because it'll be difficult balancing between reading these and playing Mana Khemia
>>48168845

I appreciate your time, you man of wealth and taste.
>>48168569
The new Paizo book.
It may be a lot of collected information that was already printed, but it does such a good job differentiating the different orders and it does a really great job of making it clear that Hellknights are predominantly LN, not LE.
It give a rather positive view of the Order of the Godclaw, Scourge, Scar, Torrent and Pike. Even the Nail and Pyre get a good review and a good argument as to why they shouldn't be relegated to villains. I cannot wait to be THE LAW.
Fuck the Glyph, though. Bunch of posers.
>>48168671
It may because of legacy since a lot of them had their classes revealed before the Signifier was created.
>>48168747
Godclaw and Scourge are my favorite as well.
>>48168747
>I wish I could make a version of the "Absolutely Disgusting" meme with the Godclaw's Lictor
Do it.
>>48168799
They also have one for Akasha that maps to any other caster. Not great, but not bad if you're already doing both. Easy to qualify for with a Vizier dip
>>48162857
Hey /pfg/. I just noticed that the glossary doesn't list the destroyed condition. It's weird because the rules make a distinction between when a creature or object is dead, broken, destroyed, disintegrated or annihilated, but doesn't explain what the latter three actually mean and sometimes uses the terms synonymously. Are corpses creatures with the dead condition, objects or both? What are the different types of anatomy relevant to animate dead and similar spells (i.e. which creatures have skeletons? what is "physical anatomy"?). One of the soul manipulation spells mentions some creatures are "bodiless souls" but only vaguely defines the descriptor. Which creatures qualify?
It's really quite frustrating because this sort of stuff is not intuitive at all.
>>48169268
Google "define:destroyed" for a definition, you mongoloid. Not everything is a game term.
Has anyone ever taken the Ranger's Companion Bond instead of an Animal Companion? It seems like the former is inherently worse than the latter to me.
>>48169528
Dead, disabled, broken, paralyzed, helpless, and tons of other terms are defined game terms. These are not the same as their dictionary definitions.
How do I determine if a given fantasy monster has a skeletal system or a "physical anatomy" whatever that is even supposed to be? Obviously an amorphous creature has no skeleton, but does an animate plant's cellulose roots and stem count as a skeletal system? Does a flumph have a skeleton?
>>48169747
I'll show you a secret to figure all this out: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=common+sense
>>48169786
You'd think that, but that's what causes confusion in-regards to "an attack" and "the attack action".
>>48169786
It's a fantasy world. Common sense went out the window a long time ago.
>>48169268
Pathfinder extended glossary
Destroyed [condition]: an object, construct or undead creature reduced to 0 hit points is destroyed. A corpse with the destroyed condition is considered disintegrated.
Disintegrated [condition]: a corpse that is disintegrated is not subject raise dead, but may be returned to life by resurrection or stronger magic.
Annihilated [condition]: a corpse that is annihilated leaves no remains behind. It is not subject to raise dead, resurrection or other spells that require a portion of the corpse.
Corpse [creature, object]: a corpse is both an object and a creature with the dead condition. It has hit points equal to 25 minus the creature's hit points upon death. A destroyed corpse gains the disintegrated condition. The precise condition of a corpse is important for the purposes of healing and necromancy spells and effects.
Intact [condition]: an object with at least half its hit points is intact and functions normally. An intact corpse is subject to raise dead and similar spells.
Mutilated [condition]: a corpse with the broken condition is considered mutilated. A mutilated corpse is not subject to raise dead or other revival spells that require an intact corpse. If the corpse loses the broken condition, it loses the mutilated condition.
Skeletal [condition]: a corpse with the skeletal condition is mutilated and not subject to spells and effects that animate the corpse as an undead creature with a fleshy exterior.
>>48169887
Where's this extended glossary located?
How does infusion extracts work?
>>48170061
Extracts normally cease functioning if they 1) leave the Alchemist's possession or are used on another creature or 2) are left out for 24 hours.
Infused extracts maintain their potency, allowing them to be set down and used by other creatures, and they remain functional for longer than 24 hours (so if you create an infusion of Stoneskin it isn't wasted if you don't use it on the day you create it).
The problem is that they take up the Alchemist's spell slots as long as they exist and the Alchemist can't choose to make infusions inert remotely, so a dickish DM can actually remove an Alchemist's ability to cast spells by stealing all their infusions. Chirurgeons have a specific wording that lets them get around that weakness for their infusions, but every other Alchemist has that problem.
>>48170052
I made it up. I based it on my own common sense, but as always common sense rules are up for debate.
>>48170119
Eh, I feel like any DM worth playing with wouldn't do that outside of something like short plot hook, feats and the like aren't supposed to give negatives.
>>48170238
It does also have effects outside of that. Handing out infusions to allies means you're working with a smaller pool of spells until they use them. Putting an infusion in a Preserving Flask, besides being a waste of money, means that spell is locked until someone drinks from the flask unlike a normal extract which stops counting against your daily limit.
>>48168992
>>I wish I could make a version of the "Absolutely Disgusting" meme with the Godclaw's Lictor

Actually, the preserving flask states that it doesn't keep your spell slots after 24 hours, it's worded around limiting infusions like that on purpose.
I'm starting to roleplay with some friends for the first time, the gm let us check out on a monster that we will usually face in the earlier steps on the campaign so we can plan accordingly on whats to come.
Abrikandilu CR 3
XP 800
CE Medium outsider (chaotic, demon, evil, extraplanar)
Init +0; Senses darkvision 60 ft.; Perception +12
DEFENSE
AC 15, touch 10, flat-footed 15 (+5 natural)
hp 32 (5d10+5)
Fort +5, Ref +4, Will +3
DR 5/cold iron; Immune electricity, poison; Resist acid 10, cold 10, fire 10
Weaknesses hatred of mirrors
I have some questions, when it says. Resist fire 10. Does it mean it reduces every fire damage by 10?
I wanted to play as an arcane trickster using scorching ray, but seeing the fire resistance thing made me back down on that idea because i would be dealing a lot less damage than intended.
So what would you guys suggest for a ranged character against this enemies? The party needed someone with magic and at least being able to have lots of skill points so i found out arcane trickster was very good there but i don't really know anymore.
Any suggestions?
>>48168720
Mana Khemia-anon here. Just got finished looking at them, and personally I prefer the Kobold Press one, though mostly because I kinda like how it limits your spell choice versatility in an appropriate yet thematic way.
>>48171224
Many thanks! I'll see if i cant make something good out of it.
>>48171212
Energy Resistance means that every time it takes fire damage from any source, that damage is reduced. This means each ray of Scorching Ray is reduced by 10 points.
Arcane Trickster isn't bad, but it isn't great either. Prestige classes in general aren't a very good idea, but energy resistance isn't enough of a reason to completely back away from a character, considering how many ways you'll be able to deal damage using other elements or without relying on energy damage at all.
If you are going to focus on elemental damage, fire is considered to be the worst element to focus on, since it's the most commonly resisted element, and there are more creatures immune to fire than to any other element.
Also, the example you gave is extremely weak. By the time you can take levels in Arcane Trickster, you should be able to murder one of those in one round with pretty much no effort anyway.
>>48162857
What can I do to deal with my PC and his party-mates getting slammed with negative levels all the time? I know we can remove them with restoration, but only at a rate of 1/week, and we're gaining them faster than that on account of all the undead we have to deal with. Our party has an oracle (no cleric), but she doesn't know Greater Restoration. Will probably pick it up at our next chance, but we have to survive that long...
What items or other spells will allow us to get past the restriction on the how quickly negative levels can be removed? Alternatively, how can we get immunity to negative levels, preferably in a form that will last at least 10 minute/level?
>>48171606
Death ward
>>48165625
>someone post the "don't fuck dogs" momiji image, I don't have it for some reason
>>48168569
Why are you saying our Lord's and Savior's (DSP's) ideas are stupid? That's not acceptable on these boards.
>>48171619
Yeah, but Death Ward only lasts 1 minute/level and only affects a single target. That's gonna be hella inefficient if that's all we can do. Are there no items that can give you the effect of Death Ward for a longer period?
Asking as a relative newcomer to Pathfinder, can someone give a detailed explanation of why people here don't like Paizo? I get the system isn't very balanced, but I haven't seen much about Paizo as a company or about its employees.
So, is the Desperado or Gunsmoke Mystic better?
>>48171668
Litheria Blossom
>>48171668
Wow you're super whiny.
>>48171668
Nothing like that, unfortunately. There is Deathless armor, but it's only a 25% chance of avoiding a negative level from each attack.
>>48171662
>attempting to shitpost
It was a homeless class supplement thing made by a random anon.
4/10 Do a better job at shitposting
>>48171710
Ah, that seems like it would be great. I'll have to see if our DM will let us craft them, but if he does that'd probably be a great solution, seeing as they're so cheap.
>>48171725
Yeah, Deathless was something I looked in to, but it's not going to work out very well (especially since we have no one who can craft magic armor for the party).
>>48171702
Gunsmoke Mystic is generally considered to be a bit better, but Desperado's still rather good, especially if you don't want to deal with the Mystic's annoying-ass recovery method.
>>48171728
Still, you are besmirching DSP's name by association. Stop that.
>>48171786

Depends on the rest of the party and the gestalt in question. If it's just slapping two martials together in order to not do the multiclassing shuffle in a medium-high op party, sure. If it's a low op party, hell no. If it's trying to get something like the MT to work, you might as well design a PrC for what the player wants to do tbdesu.

If you have access to the chained Summoner, you can get Haste as a second level spell.

Not for Samsarans.

Chained Summoner or Bard for early entry shenanigans.

For the Kobold Press one: Spell Synthesis is a special kind of bullshit. Needing to cross cast a level higher is kind of dumb and just means an optimizer will just load up on the spells at their lowest level possible. The SLA ability will get all sorts of wacky with shit like Blood Money or Creation spells.
I'm planning on having my campaign set in the Fangwood. Where can I read more about it?
Are their any summonable gargantuan or colossal creatures?

i think summoners can make their eidolons get gargantuan or something

The largest dinosaur, I think
Turret Specialist Anon here.
I had a discussion (argument) with my girlfriend today about the turret in my archetype, she claims that a full BAB progression for the turret would effectively render any fighter grouped with the Turret Specialist useless.
I disagree, though I already think fighters are useless anyway.
Do you guys think I should drop the turret to 3/4 BAB progression, or leave it at full?

Considering the majority of the citations come from the Inner Sea World Guide, you might start there. Should be in the trove.

3/4 seems more appropriate since most other "pet" type creatures progress at 3/4ths including constructs but I'm not totally sure on that. On the other hand it's damage is sort of limited otherwise, not to mention a fighter is probably useless at either medium or full progression like you already said.

Summon Monster and Summon Nature's Ally can get you: brachiosaurus, tyrannosaurus, roc, dire shark and purple worm

I was considering 3/4 until level 6 or so, with an "upgrade" to full progression onward, but i feel that would be confusing.
It would help with the early level competition with martials who might get jealous.
>>48172804
Give them a BAB patch +1 to hit and damage, scaling at the levels BAB doesn't progress for 3/4th progression.

Thanks anons!

What, like a warrior's weapon training?
The turret already gains enhancement bonuses at 4,8,12,16 and 20.
I feel like I'd just be doing that twice.
>>48172649
It's not in the trove. Anyone got a link?

I'm not that anon, but are you using a different version of the trove than the one in the OP pastebin? The folder structure is different.

You misspelled "turrent."
