First for silently idolizing Forrest from a distance!
>>46002690
...Hm. Something to discuss with the party next session.
Neat! new Pixiv Fantasia updates.
Will post em here.
Here's a topic of discussion though:
"What would you do if You (the player inhabitting the body of your character, along with metaknowledge of the system and world) were an adventurer in Golarion?

I was enjoying the druid conversation, so...

>Druids are everything that has to do with nature. Survival of the Fittest? Druid. Blood sacrifice and getting sky clad during the full moon? Druid. Plague bringer walking vermin infestation? Druid. Literally any animist priest? Druid. Rambo-esque commando? Druid. That ringleader who seems to be extra close to the animals and workers? Druid. Thulsa Doom? Druid.
>There is literally an archetype that gets rid of muh nature in order to make you a social climber and face stealer called the Urban Druid.
The problem with all of this is that none of them are very compelling characters on their own. They function well as NPC's, sure, but they're all still very one-dimensional.

That's why you ascribe personality to them beyond a single facet of their existence.
Same with any other character.
I mean, how do you make a Fighter, Wizard, or Alchemist a compelling character? The issue isn't druids man.
>>46002778
Ever play a Far Cry game? Yeah, do a druid like that. Strip away all the gloss and sprinkles of whatever "modern" society is in the setting and make a character who's been forcefully or willingly reverted to someone who's living as an example of mankind in it's "natural" state.
Throw in some bullshit magic tatoos or animal-command powers and you've got a druid.

So how did your last session go, /pfg/?
>>46002995
So far-cry Primal?
>>46003067
This pic kinda reminds me of a summoner and his Eidolon.
Which reminds me - There SHOULD be a construct eidolon archetype you could slap rockets and cannons on.
If Construct Rider gives your a zoid, this should give you an Iron Man suit
>>46002818
Hell, my character's already a pyromancer...
>>46002995
This. To some extent. I find that being a druid is more interesting when it's less about worshipping nature and more about rejecting society or civilization.
Because DnD is DnD, doing this gives you magical powers. Whatever.
>>46003084
>>46002770
"I can't believe everyone rolled monk."
>>46002922
Okay? Anon said Druids are "muh nature". Those are examples of things that are beyond the standard hippy druid.
If this is that anon, then you're being awfully picky. But here:
You are the child of a rich merchant who worships a dead god. By partaking in the flesh of a customer, you are able to take on that customer's form. You are able to get these customers with your incredible magical Charisma. Once you have amassed enough riches, you can then take on the form of animals with which you take your pound of flesh.
You have suckered the spirits of the land to aid and protect you, with strange fetishes and materials acting as your bargaining chips.
There. You're a spiritual Shylock who also eats the essences of people and animals.
>>46003081
Kind of. Although, essentially all the Far Cry games since 3 have (maybe even farther back than that) have been about what happens to people when their humanity starts to be replaced by their savage sides. Primal is kind of a bad example actually, because that's what's needed to actually survive in that setting as a baseline, you don't get that sense that anyone in Primal has actually lost or given up something to be the way they are. In most typical fantasy settings, druids are the exception, not the rule.
Any DSP Dev lurking this thread?
I have a question regarding the Aegis's Ranged Attack customization.
1) Can I add weapon enhancements to it? How?
2) Can I increase its attack range?
But really, they should have made a Psionics Augmented: Aegis since this class also needs a good boost as well.
>>46003282
Aegis is one of the most solid classes in existence, and only gets more with every goddamn thing DSP puts out, since they can gank from all of it.
>>46003282
>Psionics Augmented: Aegis
They could start with a Gifted Blade Aegis archetype.
>>46003326
Don't forget - War Soul Aegis with Iron Tortoise, Broken Blade, and Eternal Guardian
>>46003142
3 was definitely the start of that, 2 was about being a merc in an African war zone, you were supposed to be a little crazy from the outset, 1 is about killing genetically modified super monkeys on some shit hole pacific island.
>>46003282
Short version: no, and no.Long version: Ranged Attack was the result of some well-intentioned but ultimately very poor design decisions on the parts of the bossmen that we've all learned lessons from, but is now in that awkward territory where it's too crystallized to replace. We are all /so very sorry/.
I can't make any definite statements on if there'll be more or better support for ranged aegii in the future, but I believe Host of Heroes might be able to help out a little?
>>46003349
Damn shame. Was hoping to slap enhancements on them until they resembled Ironman's Hand Blasters
Have you considered throwing in a Psionics Augmented: Aegis though? Or the would the avenues of ideas be far too limited compared to Soulknife?
Thanks anyways, Gareth
>>46003326
>>46003346
>Gifted Blade Aegis
Could be good, but remember that the Aegis actually needs those power points to augment his suit. Unless that archetype removes the Augment Suit class feature.
>War Soul Aegis
Definitely good. In fact, I'd want this a lot for reasons.
>Iron Tortoise, Broken Blade, and Eternal Guardian
Too defensive. If you played an Aegis, you'd know they use their armors to BOOST mobility
>>46003383
Not a problem anon. As far as PsiAug: Aegis, it's an idea that's been bandied about but it's not precisely high on the priority list, primarily because of >>46003303
Though to expand on that, it's honestly /really easy/ to get inspiration for Aegis stuff. Aegis gets a lot of material because it lends itself so readily to cool ideas with low-impact availability...which, admittedly, we have to keep an eye on.
Still, between customizations and archetypes, Aegis is wonderful to design in and for, which is why it gets so much love.
>>46003471
You know, I never really had the Aegis gel with me (Synthesist Summoner caught the Kamen Rider/Guyver bug for me first) but it's cool that you're open about just digging designing for them.
>>46003077
>>46002980
>because the witchwolf decapitated him with her shield, Captain America-style, in the first round
>the witchwolf loses her shield in the process
Does she have a shield-fetish or something? Also,
>using a shield in Pathfinder
>>46003433
What if you got an Aegis that is stylized after mecha anime?
Give it a Rocket Punch, a Chest Beam attack, Machine Gun Fingers, A Rider Kick, a Pile Bunker and a Buster Sword
>>46003648
My last Aegis was pretty much pic related. I never read DC so my friend had to point it out.
>>46003648
Guys! What if...
Aegiswith a transformation sequence? Like there's a skin mode, and then there's an Animal mode and a Titan mode?

Every time I read adlets here my brain thinks aglets. It's a very weird mental image.
>>46003748
I don't know, Anon, she looks pretty genuinely happy. Not getting much of a smug vibe off of her.
>>46003751
Actually those are mirror images made of charged shots.
Also the T-301 is kinda different - pic related, and from another series
>>46003760
I know, right? I have to keep checking to make sure I didn't write aglets.
>>46003641
She fights with her shield, anon. Also with a cutlass, but mostly with the shield. It's pretty terrifying.
>>46003791
How is a shield terrifying? Aren't they usually pretty bad? What class is she?
>>46003798
>How is a shield terrifying?
Clearly you've never played a Warder or a Shield Champion Brawler
>>46003727
>>46003764
It's Nyarly. Nyarly is always smug.
>>46003819
But IS she either of those classes? Or has this skinwalker somehow managed to make a shield useful through some other method?
>>46003843
She's got initiating (myrmidon) and uses some sort of strikes with it, but I'm not familiar enough with the system to elaborate more, sorry.

>S4 never
Why did you leave us, kuuko?
What would an SAO based AP look like? Each floor being a single level? A floor being 2 levels each with a level up after the midboss?
One last thing before I head to bed.
With the exception of NPC stat blocks for the final section, which will be written during playtesting, Lords of the Mists: the Midway Faire is just about ready to be released into the wild for playtesting. I'm going to rope some unfortunate victi- I mean volunteers into giving it an editing pass, clean up some of the wording, and then get that fired away within the week if at all possible - fuck, /tomorrow/ if I can arrange for it.
Bean sidhe will be part of that; it does not currently reflect changes based on the feedback I've already gotten.
>>46003868
>What would an SAO based AP look like?
Absolute shit.
You are deluding yourself if you think SAO has any relevance of a plot in tabletop when its own main motivation is dungeon crawling to the very top of the boss' tower.

If you take the akashic options and get Eyes of the Hawkguard, you can increase the Ranged Attack's range increment.

>>46003972
I forgot to add, some of the PoW options from Initiator's Soul may also increase the range increment, but these can often be temporary.
>>46003978
True.
In an ironic twist, KonoSuba is a better 'trapped in a game' anime despite not taking itself seriously.
Notably, reminds me of Zettai Bouei Levia-tan anime (aka, those baka dragongirls)

I mean, they nerfed it way too much, but it did need a nerf.
>>46004160
Nah, I ignored that errata too.

>>46004179
>Makes a tier 2 caster even more SADjust as bad as paizo themselves
>>46004187
The nerf was terrible.
Here's my logic:
>"who cares if this also benefits the bard and oracle, they already have access to spells that makes their saves really good after all. Might as well keep the feat un-eratta'd so it could at least benefit most martials that have only one good save (fighter) or one very crippling low save that could potentially fuck the entire party if he fails it (barbarian)"
>>46004210
What? It used to require 2nd level divine casting
It was 100% a feat to make oracles better and nothing else

Ah fuck. I took too long to write this all up, and posted it in the last thread. FUCK.
So here's my idea for a player race. For my campaign/world I'm working on, players will have access to these guys. Their name is the Seer Kind, a placeholder until I figure some OC donut steel weaboo sounding name. They're pretty much the Miraluka from KOTOR2, the race of the best waifu. I mean, psychic people with no eyes is just a great fantasy idea, I think. So here's my stats for them. I realize that they got some pretty powerful stuff, so if you can think of anymore penalties for them, tell me so I can slap them on.
http://pastebin.com/KXsXgkxV
So yeah. The idea is that they're a race of eye-less, "kind of," humans that are pretty Psychic and have a history as being Oracles, fortune-tellers, Seers. Today, they live in hidden communities, and sometimes deliver cryptic fortunes and messages to people. They study the stars, the past and the future, being quite detached from the Present.
Historically, they have a history of being a big evil empire that enslaved their human subjects, with the Seer Kind forming the ruling class. So the hate against them is somewhat justified. And there are even smaller hold outs of evil Seer Kind out there.
So that's my shitty OC donut steel race.
>>46004665
Can you please work on the wording? The stupid hurts my brain.
You put too much emphasis in your third eye bullshit, that you could sound less autistic if you pored over the wizard spell list to find a similar suitable effect.
You didn't even specify how it works against obstacles and cover.
Window to the soul really needs a rewording. And its pretty much similar to DSP's Eiremian SLA.
>>46004647
I wish you a speedy and torturous death, senpai.
My party needs a scout and trapfinder so I was thinking of going ranger with the trapper archetype.
Holy shit a bunch of these traps are awful. What was paizo thinking when they made this? Are there any good ones that aren't garbage that will be negated by basic CR 5 defense abilities?
>>46004722

Make your own trap instead. Portable reuseable CLW trap etc
>>46004722
You have to understand that Ranger, Fighter and Rogue are all NPC classes. You, as a PC, should be using PC classes. That said, roll a wizard or alchemist if you want to be good at traps. Alchemist traps makes you wish you were dead and Wizard traps hurt so bad, your next of kin would literally feel it
>>46004783
>Ranger, Fighter and Rogue are all NPC classes
This bait is so poor, I can't even bother finding a relevant bait image for it.

If you want to ranger, roll a Hunter
if you want to rogue, roll a wizard/stalker/bard/anythingbutrogue

I'm only familiar with core. How do witches and arcanists work?
>>46005045
Witches are the Druid to Wiz/Sorc
By that I mean they have a more specialized spell list focusing on enchantment/illusion/natural magic
Your choice of patron expands this
But otherwise they are Int based prepared casters with a familiar that counts as their spellbook
The big draw is Hexes which are often powers that replicate spells are used to debuff/cost no slots
Arcanists are an abomination
Int based casting from the Sorc/Wiz set
They prepare a list of spells, then cast spontaneously from that list (effectively getting the best of both worlds)
They also have a pool and exploits that can range from increasing DCs to a free metamagic feat that you change once per day
>>46005045
I'm not familiar with arcanists that much myself but as for Witches.
They are an Int based 9th level caster with a prepared spell list. What makes them different from the wizard is that they prepare their spells through their familiar and not a spell book.
In addition to their familiar they choose a patron, an unknown source of their power that revolves around a central theme (speed, enchantment, etc...) Which provides bonus spells.
Another thing that Witches get is hexes, little standard action debuffs that weaken your enemies (misfortune, evil eye, etc...) or empower you allies (fortune), there's some utility hexes that aid the witch on their own (flight, prehensile hair, etc...)
Their spell list is OK, not great in my opinion.

Thanks for the feedback.
I need to simplify how the Psychic blindsight works, I realize now I got too wordy about it. I'll strip out a bunch of the rest.
Can someone clarify I'm reading this Augmented Blade thing properly?
>Improved Psicrystal Augment - Magical or psionically enchanted weapons that possess special abilities that are not normally on the soulknife’s enhanced mind blade list (such as bane) are temporarily added to that list for use by the augmented blade when using his psicrystal augment class feature, and the enhancement bonus applied to the weapon by that class feature increases by +1. The augmented blade must be at least 4th level to select this blade skill.
Does this essentially say that if you augment a weapon with an ability that's not on the soulknife list, you can temporarily add it to your list and you get a free +1 to help pay for it (If you want to)?
And this means that even though Augmented Blade overrides any magic abilities a weapon has and treats it as masterwork, you can get use out of having a weapon of Bane (Vegetables) because it gives you a free +1 without needing to add Bane (Vegetables) to your weapon?
>It's a phenomenon called moral balancing, and it explains why religious people, environmental activists, etc. are more likely to shoplift.
>religious people are more likely to shoplift
That's just wrong Jessica, there's a direct correlation between people that actively participate in religious activities and decreased crime rates, especially in-regards to theft.
Why are Paizo employees so hostile?
I like Paladin as a class, but I would absolutely loathe being the white-knight "everybody has to get along and obey every stupid law in the kingdom" guy.
Tell me /tg/, how do I be a Paladin without also being Javert?
>>46005997
By being a high-level magus.
By only following the letter of the code of conduct.
By being a paladin of freedom.
>>46005977
Where was that?
>>46006013
On her Twitter account.
>>46005997
By being the paladin of this guy.
But seriously, Paladin are more "lead by example" type of people. Forcing everyone to act like you dictate would be consider Evil, since it's a type of Tyranny.

I'm pretty bad at grammar. Please fix that sentence for me. anon-sensei.
>>46006221
Because it's for aasimar. The supposed to be inherently good guys.
>>46006254
It's just a matter of keeping them all in the same tense. Easiest would be:
It's okay for a Paladin to kidnap, torture and trumpet innocent people.
90% of the time if you have different suffixes like -ing and -ed in the same sentence, you're going to be off the mark.
>>46006239
To be fair, English grammar is almost as bloated as 3.x.
>>46006254
You should have used the same tense for all three. "to kidnap, torture and trumpet". I think that's how most languages work?
>>46006271
You're absolutely right. English is a terrible language. I only noticed because I just had a test on this stuff like last week.Honestly, I'm pretty shit at grammar too.
>>46006270
Thanks
>>46006271

>>46006286
>English is a terrible language
It isn't terrible, It's a standard Germanic language. Most English grammatical rules are completely fabricated and is comparatively no more "flawed" than any other language; It's just more popular.
>>46006329

Just follow a personal code of honor as determined by your faith and god, ultimately HE is the only one you answer to.
'Lawful' doesn't mean you have to obey unjust or outright evil laws of every country that allows things like slavery and baby-eating whatnot. I don't know why GMs think that this is some ultimate trap. Your god should only expect you to obey laws made by just and legitimate rule, as determined by you, your code, and your faith's doctrine.
Always do the right thing, even if laws of man are telling you otherwise. Especially then.
Of course, always talk to your GM beforehand and let him know that's how you roll as a paladin. If he's against it from the onset then just play something similar without a falling/failing clause.

They shouldn't immediately cut down the first slaver they see either, slavery isn't (yet) considered a great evil. It's perfectly fine being a abolitionists though.

>>46006520
Wasn't advocating that either. Just that a paladin has to understand the world around him and not be played in a vacuum, like most people do. He needs to understand that if he's going to a land where the law is fundamentally against his code that he either needs to be prepared to wage a shadow war or just not go in the first place/get out as soon as possible. He should still work to slowly change this problem however he can, even going to the root of it if possible, but he needs to know what he can and cannot do.
Keep in mind that we play the 'paladin' as a class in a RPG using basic modern morals and the paladin's code often mirrors that. Slavery and forced servitude (as opposed to willingly submitting to service or done as just punishment) being bad in general is part of it. Now, I'm not here to argue if that's a good or bad thing or if I agree with it. I'm just saying that 'paladin' in the rule book in most settings is built to be closer to modern morals/ethics than as they actually were back then. Since we're talking about a paladin in the context of Pathfinder (in a PF thread), most view slavery as an evil thing, a view often backed by the system and setting itself.
Not saying it's badwrongfun if you want to play a shining knight character in a setting with sanctioned slavery who doesn't see it as wrong (and therefore no need to look the other way).

I thought Slavery was a Law v Chaos thing, not a Good vs Evil thing in Golarion.
I plan on using planar binding to summon a vrock into a magic circle (augmented to stop teleportation), then kill the vrock to obtain a corpse. I will then animate the skeleton as a bloody skeleton with use of a voidstick for a regenerating monster with 5 natural attacks.
My question is, how should I go about soling the vrock? I don't know if I can count on my party members for support, and I am a 9th level (soon to be 10th level) wizard.
I was considering just spamming enervation but I'm not sure if that will be fast enough.
Any advice?
My GM told me there's a feat that gives you slow fall like monk, is he bullshiting me?

>>46006980
Even if there was one, it would be shit.
Item of at-will feather fall is only 2000g anyway.
>>46006812
It is if you view it strictly as whether or not it is legal and permissible regardless how people feel about it.
It stops being that when people start to view the ontological implications under it.
We see this on Golarion when just about every country (Cheliax, Irisen, Nidal) and past regime (ancient Osirion, Thassilon) that held slaves are associated with evil. Those like Jalmery and Katapesh that aren't considered wholly evil tend to have those elements of them associated with evil. Every spell and magic item associated with slavery has the evil descriptor. Slaver races like gnolls and derro are almost exclusively evil. You'll also notice that all the deities, devils, and demon lords with slavery in their portfolios seem to be evil (and monsters, Leng and the Dominion of the Black comes to mind as well).
I'm not aware of much slavery in outer planes of lawful good or neutral good. Most labor seems to be done willingly or by automatons/golems.
>>46006980
Doesn't matter, unless your entire character theme involves repeatedly falling from high places, it's not worth a feat.
Just buy these.

Remember normal fall damage caps at 10d6 so it's 10 damage max per fall.
Or maybe a few of these for when you absolutely can't take damage.
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/r-z/snapleaf
>>46007031
It's 20d6 max falling damage, which is still only 20. You're thinking of damage from falling objects, which colossal (largest) is 10d6 base damage but can be modified up or down with variables.

You don't. PF is horrible at powerful, solo boss fights. Instead, make it a non-optimized cavalier 7, plus a sprinkling of cavalier 4s, say six of them. Build all further boss fights to include minions.

It was pretty good, roll20 stopped fucking us. After getting our shit kicked in in the previous session we stopped critically failing everything. The monk tanked a disentigrate, then got hit by magic missile falling unconscious in an area of dead air so he died again, F.
Our alchemist ingested a spellstoring poison that made him get SPACEU RIPPAH STINGEY EYESU! and killed the boss, after going insane, the new guy and the PC lich's minion. It's kay, they're undead with regenerative properties.
The other 3 party members had means of dim dooring several times a day and got the fuck out. We came back and got our Macguffins, oversized swords, loadsa guns and a thin gold robe relating to hastur that we haven't properly identified yet, as well as new occultist spirits sketched into temple walls.

Is there a better CHA-based healmachine than an Oracle? Any 3pp.
Yeah, I know, >healing
In my games it's actually really important, because the GM has managed to make it not rocket tag and the fights actually last a decent amount of time.
>>46004210
It requires levels in Oracle or Cleric, it doesn't benefit fighters and barbarians at all.
>>46008256
Are you playing 4e with monsters that deal no damage but have fuckload of hp?
Why CHA though? Vitalist is pretty good healer. I heard good things about life sphere, but no first-hand experience with it.

It was a nice break from the constant butt-clenching tension and action, honestly.
>>46008297
The enemies have pretty shit HP compared to the party's DPR but they're almost all humanoids with maneuvers and counters and they're all geared against us so it's a real challenge to take 'em down quickly.
CHA-based because it's Gestalt and I'm one-half Sorcerer one-half Oracle. Thinking of replacing the Oracle for a better healer if I can.
>>46008318
No, actually.
I'm an SoP necromancer.
Tell me about this familiar, though. What's so abuseable there? I'm not above changing my class completely if it's an improvement, my GM allows us to change our character's mechanics every 5 sessions so long as the RP stays the same. Death-sphere Incanter has been really good to me so far, though I have considered switching to Lichling Soul Weaver for the Charisma-to-HP thing.
>>46006271
>To be fair, English grammar is almost as bloated as 3.x.
The grammar is actually very simple and streamlined. The problem is the vocabulary that adds a fuckton of exceptions to everything.

Not far enough along to consider getting one of those.

I can only hope I'll have enough downtime to make all the stuff our party needs.I also kind of dislike the flavor of tumor familiar, but after checking mechanics and watching Parasyte I could probably stomach taking it, as long as I can make it a valet.

I use roll20 and am in PST. The Adventure Path is made to accommodate a variety of alignments, but leans neutral.
I've posted the shitty unedited player's guide before. I have an edited copy, but not on this PC.
At the beginning of the game you are a set of individuals on the western edge of the nation. Disappearances have been spiriting people away from farmsteads, growing worse until entire towns are vanished in the night. You, as a group, need a vested interest in this disappearances.
The world itself is freezing, small nations clinging to the shores of a volcanic sea. The overarching plan actually had to pass through every nation on the Streaming Sea, and eventually move beyond it. Large portions of the game will be spent in back alley organized crime intrigue, with political strife.
I am unsure how much of the overall plot to reveal to players, but I can explain a system in the adventure path.
"Pieces of Truth" and "Realizations". Essentially there are objects in the adventure path, pieces of information, and people who have assigned "truth" values. These truths put you along several advancement tracks towards realizations. These realizations give you insight to the background happenings that drive the plot. Each piece of truth has associated skill checks to unlock it's value to put towards your total. Once you go over thresholds important NPCs (or the players depending on if they take a specific prestige class introduced in book 3) can garner realizations.
It's a way to insensitive grabbing what ever information you can and giving it to your contacts.
If you want I can go ahead and explain the entire plot outline of the 6 books.
I'm rambling, but I should also mention that it uses DSP NPC and players are blanket ok'd to use published DSP content.
>>46009971
>Blanket OK'd for DSP content
So I could play an Ethumion Rubato?
PST isn't too far off for me, either. I may be interested!
>>46009971
If I'm not mistaken, PST is the same as GMT -7, right?
I'm at GMT +2 but I have basically nothing to do. What general time do you reckon games will take place, and how long would the sessions last?
I'm definitely interested, but I can't be playing at 6 am.

What day are you looking to run?
>>46010100
>>46010081
4 PM PST is only 1 AM for me. I can easily play until about 7 or even 8 PM your time, but I wouldn't be able to yell or laugh furiously or whatever. However, any later than 7 or 8 would be too late for me, and I imagine hitting that 4 PM every time would be tough, no? It's probably best I let you americans play amongst yourselves, here.
>>46010129
Sure I don't see why they wouldn't. Generally when in doubt consult the player guide (which I will post shortly).
I would run on a weekday. Likely Wednesday.
>>46010190
Wednesday evenings I have a game, but maybe we could work something out. The idea sounds interesting, and I've been wanting to try out this build. I'll take a look at the player guide and whip something up
Would you guys say that, generally, the wizard/sorcerer spell list is better than the cleric/oracle spell list?
>>46010300
I believe that is the general opinion, yes.
>>46010326
In that case, is Sorcerer good enough at utilizing said spell list?
>>46010300
>the wizard/sorcerer spell list is better than the cleric/oracle spell list?
No, because the wizard/sorcerer spell list does not have access to healing.
Here is the character creation guide for the campaign.
>>46010360
>what is infernal healing
>what is celestial healing
>what is summon monster
>what is limited wish
It has very limited access to healing, but that's not the same as no access.
>>46010360
That's what Arcane Savant is for. Nothing quite like stealing divine magic as a wizard and then using Blood Money to fuel Restoration spells, making you even better at using Restoration than the actual Clerics that the gods intended to be using it.
>>46010360
Infernal Healing?
>>46010360
This is a silly way to justify it as most healing is invalidated by a wand. Remove Disease/Curse/Poison + Curing Ability Score Damage is what you get out of Cleric/Oracle that matters.
>>46010354
Paragon Surge, Human favored class bonus, Page of spell knowledge.
>>46010354
I mean, you get to all 9 levels of casting, so yes. Sorcerer's drawback is they have a very limited library to pick from themselves--you have to cherry pick from the spell list for your known spells, and then that's it.
Wizards can conceivably write every spell ever published in their sixty three and a half spellbooks, which is what gives rise to their vaunted flexibility (which is really the source of their Tier 1-ness).
>>46010482
Every spell ever printed is ~150k gp for the lot if you're entirely borrowing other's spell books for it.
>>46010428
Well.. Wizard can use Break Enchantment for curse. Poison and ability score damage can be fix with Summon Monster.
>>46010395
How do you feel about Martial Traditions? Was going to use one to pick up an alternate discipline and some related benefits on my Rubato. Can take the trait if you'd prefer, but it might give me an excuse to be involved in the adventure prompt as well.
>>46010507
Cypher Script and Blessed Books can help with that... Although I'm not actually sure how much money you end up saving with a Blessed Book, since there's still a limit on how many pages it has.
>>46010482
What's up with Arcanist, then?
I've heard it's meant to be better than Wizard but still ends up not being as good?
How's all that work?
I'm just looking to be the best spellcaster I can be, here.
>>46010354
Absolutely.
Its easy to lose perspective on the sorcerer and others like it with all the emphasis and focus on the prepared casters, but remember this:
You can still break reality over your knee and make it your little bitch. Does the wizard have more options than you? Maybe. But you're still a plane hopping meteor throwing superstar. You're freaking amazing.
>>46010587
Arcanist is, mostly, better than wizard at levels when it has access to the same level of spells, so about half the time.
>>46010559
No, I mean to have wizards show you the spells to copy, not for the books themselves.

Since we're on this topic:
How good is Wizard/Sorcerer spell list for outputting negative energy damage?
>>46010656
Oooh, how exciting!
Gonna brew some cocoa and get to reading straight away.
>>46010587
The arcanist's trick is that it combines the wizard's breadth of spell knowledge (i.e., it uses spellbooks and preparation) and the sorcerer's casting versatility.
With a wizard, you have to plan out exactly which spells you're going to carry for the day. Didn't prepare two fireballs? Sucks to be you after you spent the first one.
With a sorcerer, if you just plain don't KNOW fireball, haha you're shit outta luck.
Arcanists can prepare fireball, then spend zero, one, or up to all of their level 3 spell slots/day on it.
>>46010726
Shit.
>>46010726
Well, you've got Chill Touch as a 1st level spell. I'm pretty sure there are probably some other, higher level spells that will do it too. So it's at least possible.
