Why aren't you a paladin, friend?

Old Thread: >>46027056This is my first time making a new thread, be gentle if I messed up
Well, the OP art is actually good for once, props for that.
>>46033445
Who says I'm not a paladin? I follow Shelyn and make sure to spread my love to everyone!
>>46033445
I am one, though. Chosen One of Erastil, specifically.
>>46033445
But I AM a Paladin.Well, technically I'm a Knight Disciple.
I want to marry awarforged.
>>46033445
Because noble knights that command the forces of hell for the sake of humanity can't be paladins.
So /pfg/, is there any way for a Tiefling character to acquire the Devil subtype in addition to their Outsider (Native) subtype, for the purposes of a character getting access to the pic related feat? Or for any non-devil character to get it? 1PP primary, 3PP if 1PP fails at doing so?
It seems like the ability to create your own contracts could be pretty good, but you'd need the subtype first and I have no idea how to go about doing that.
>>46033445
Because I play with a party of assholes, that's why.
>>46033589
Actually, in a former campaign in the cosmology I'm in, a paladin was stuck in the Abyss and needed to get out to help.
His particular vows and focus was on combating the Infernal Legions, so when a demon approached him and offered to send him home in exchange for helping her in one battle against devils, he agreed.
Later she came for him, and he kept his word. Unfortunately, that one battle turned out to be the unending Blood War, and he's still fighting to this day.
>>46033635
If 3.5 counts as 3PP then Savage Species allows you to use a ritual of wish to become another creature, and even possibly get access to their abilities.
>>46033665
>Combatting the forces of hell
>Not serving your infernal masters to destroy demons and become Doom Guy
>>46033445
>Why aren't you a paladin, friend?
'cause I'm the bad guy.
>>46033445
Sadly, CE alignment isn't compatible with being a paladin.
Are there any female gods that have some monstrous features but arent like lamashtu in looks?
>>46033445
Because LG-ness is unnatural and every DM will try to make you fall
Is there any way in pathfinder to be in two different style stances at once?

Regarding the Missile Shield feat
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/missile-shield-combat
" Once per round when you would normally be hit with an attack from a ranged weapon (not including spell effects, natural attacks, or massive ranged weapons), you may deflect it so that you take no damage[...]"
The way I read it, it seems you could deflect an Alchemist's bomb, though you'd still take the splash damage. Am I correct?
>>46033790
Master of many styles.
>>46033812
Yeah, they roll the 1d8 and if your still in the splash radius, you take the splash damage.
>>46033804
>>46033808
Damn
The whole reason I wanted to do that was to have jabbing style and pummeling style up at the same time

>every dm
have you tried not playing with only the shit ones?
How does HiPS work? Like stealth in 2e-3e CRPGs? Can I move after using it? If so, do I need to stay within 10ft of shadows when moving?
Y'know, last thread I said it was mostly a joke, but now I'm kind of curious. If a synthesist summoner wanted to have his quadruped form use a weapon without taking extra arms, would you allow it? I can only assume that, if used as pic-related, it wouldn't get any of the benefits of a 2-h weapon, and makes them unable to use their bite. Maybe use an evolution point to enable it, since they would have to spend it on arms anyway?I'm running under the assumption that this is purely for style and not for cheesing more power out of the synthesist
>>46033445
Because I'm sick of your meta bullshit that no one calls you on, paladin.
>>46033881
The good ones ESPECIALLY try to make you fall. Only thing that differs is how elaborate a plot they make
>>46033946
There's a difference between trying to make you fall and offering the temptation of falling
A good DM will lay the bait for you to fall, but will expect you to resist temptation, like a proper paladin

I'm pretty sure if it has a heart, this can destroy it.
>>46034028
For the record, brother/sister, when I said 'you'll see the light' meant for you that in time you'll find a group that'll accommodate you.
>>46033946
What >>46033991 said, but not only that: you yourself should be laying the temptation to fall as a Paladin. A part of the fun of the RP is to find situations and overcome them, especially if working with the DM to get a good story.
>>46034227
Agreed, temptation exists, and your character is still a flawed human being.
This doesn't mean every plotline involving a paladin has to be centered around falling, nor that every GM should be shoving it in your face or trying to force you to.
>>46034274
A good Falling story is never unwelcome, but yeah, I'd love to see some stories about Paladins upholding justice WITHOUT everything being a trap!Except maybe the Paladin.
>>46034610
Well if it helps,I still don't know whether the paladin in OP's image is male or female
>>46034637
I'm 99% sure that's Jeanne D'Arc
>>46034658
Wasn't she a brunette?
>>46033445
>Why aren't you a paladin, friend?
Because I'm too busy being cool. PIGLETPUNT!!!
>>46034687
Anon, antipaladins are too "edgy" to be cool.
>>46034095

REEEEEE
>>46034816
In that case, enjoy your fall! HAHAHA!!!
>>46034816
tbqh for every Chaotic Randumb 3Edgy5U character out there, there's probably a Lawful Stupid character who wants to rip off the heads of any child that detects as evil.
>>46034994
So what you're trying to say is that no alignment is implicitly better or worse, just some are harder to RP well than others? I don't think we can stand for that kind of opposition to the groupthink here on /pfg/, anon.
Planning on playing a Puppetmaster Magus
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/magus/archetypes/paizo---magus-archetypes/puppetmaster-magus
Any tips and tricks or hints how to build a good one?
>>46034816
it would be really fun in an evil way just to turn off you mind and either playing an Anti-plaladin of Rovagug or Urgathoa.that or an evil druid of Urgathoa
>>46033445
I'm trying but that code is killing me. how do you deal with it? Bluff is my favorite skill.
I asked this in previous thread but it didn't get answered.
So, can a brawler pick twf defense without picking twf feat previously? is brawler's flurry enough to meet the requirements?
>>46035120
>Get Gods of Golarion.
seriously, they give personal codes for every god that can be a paladin.
but if you're just talking about the code in general. then your SOL.play a warpriest
>>46035107
I've wanted to make an Urgathoan character for a while now, but any time I try to take her into a campaign the game falls apart right before we get started.
>>46033445
But I'm Anon, Paladin/Sorcerer/Eldritch Knight
>>46035122
I'd say no. Having the feat only in a situational circumstance isn't enough to meet the pre-reqs for a feat.
>>46033920
Yeah, I'd be cool with someone spending an evolution point on 'can use mouth weapon' instead of 'has arms'.
Hell, I might even let them wield it telekinetically, like Amaterasu, since it still doesn't beat having, y'know, hands.
>>46035190
That's still a paladin! Also I still want to play a paladin / sorcerer / spell sword / abjurant champion
>>46035149
Thanks. Any advice on feats and such? I'm going for a two handed weapon paladin
>>46035218
I definitely wouldn't want to give them iteratives on a mouth wielded weapon, though.
>>46033445
Because my paladin had his Good End, and I've laid the class to rest. I'm not ripping him out of retirement, and a new Paladin would tarnish the memory somehow, if that makes sense.
>>46035234
Fucking degenerates need to be purged.

But I AM a paladin, brother.

And it can't happen soon enough.
Talking 'bout paladins:
BESTOW GRACE
"With this spell you can bestow your divine grace on another good creature for a short amount of time, infusing that creature with a portion of your holy virtue. When you touch the subject, you grant that creature a sacred bonus to its saving throws equal to its Charisma bonus (if any) on all saving throws."
DIVINE GRACE
"At 2nd level, a paladin gains a bonus equal to her Charisma bonus (if any) on all Saving Throws."
Since the Divine Grace bonus is untyped, what's stopping two paladins from buffing one another with Bestow Grace for extra invulnerability?
>>46035149
Do you mean Inner Sea Gods? Because I can't find a book called Gods of Golarion on Paizo's site.
>>46035270
Personally, I don't see the harm in it, since there's already a definite cap on the number of attacks an Eidolon can make in a round. I'm probably missing something that makes it dangerously cheesy though, since I'm not super good at summoner.
>>46035347
>Since the Divine Grace bonus is untyped, what's stopping two paladins from buffing one another with Bestow Grace for extra invulnerability?
A reasonable GM with more than half a brain.
Is there a "good" way to build a non-archer paladin ? The lack of pounce/reliable full attacks just seems to be too crippling. Cornugon Smash gets you a speudo-pounce against things you can intimidate, but its a bit too little too late.
>>46035359
yes that one. sorry about that.
>>46035406
Thanks for the clarification, grabbing from trove now.
>>46035389
>a stupid GM who doesn't want martials to have nice things
FTFY.
>>46035391
>Buildposter doesn't know anything about building characters
Why am I not surprised?
>>46035251
power attack is always a good one, you lose a point of attack, however you get a +2 to damage.
Weapon focus is good, but only if you want to use one weapon type and one weapon.
>>46035391
>Buildposter can't figure out how to make one of the absolute best T4 classes good
I can't say I'm surprised.
Buildposter, a Paladin doesn't NEED to full attack. Between their small but useful collection of spells and their Smite ability, a Paladin does as much damage with a single attack as they need to do. A weapon that can change what benefits it obtains between fights and several decent archetypes (such as Chosen One) mean that it's actually really hard to drop a Paladin as well as allowing it to hit powerfully.
Is it just me, everyone, or does Buildposter simply not know how to do ANYTHING that isn't "me am full-attack with ranged options"? Archer Paladin, Archer Fighter, Kineticist, etc... and he's shown absolute idiocy when it comes to things that are easy to build like Paladins, Bards, Rangers, Slayers, etc... going so far as to call the classes "ill-designed" just because he doesn't know how to build them, despite their simplicity and straightforwardness.
>>46035459
I'm Paizo and I don't see any difference between the two versions of that sentence. Also now, every time you use the full attack action, every second attack is directed at your own genitalia.
>>46035391
As another paladin anon, I too would like to know how to give a pounce-like ability to my character.
>>46035545
>>46035479
Here are your (you)s.
>>46035545
Sometimes I wonder if Buildposter is just Touhou's latest incarnation. He DID show up again as soon as we chased Touhou off, and he's equally as annoying.
>>46035391
>Paladin
>Cornugon Smash
You're a Paladin. Why are you using feats named after devils?
>>46035610
Touhoufag is just autistic, not stupid.
>>46035610
This is /pfg/, anon, don't you know that we're all the same person? We are the very best example of the reason why nobody should allow characters with MPD at their tables.
>>46035631
>tfw I'm a Paladin of Asmodeus
>>46035610
Except they both show up at the same time, and Buildposter doesn't talk in nearly as precise or specific a way as 2hu. And more importantly, 2hu's sometimes right; Buildposter never is.
>>46035610
Sometimes I wonder why you are so obsessed with 2hufag. You want to fuck him or what?
>>46035545
>Bards, Rangers, Slayers,
>totally easy to build guys!
>prove it
>[complete lack of build posting]
The more people say they are easy to build, and the less people actually post builds of them, the less I think it's true.
also: my standards for a "good" build are probably a bit higher than yours, hense why most of my "good" builds can solo anything that the party should ever face.
And about the paladin. So basically just charge + one melee attack doing ~40 damage at level 12 is plenty in your mind? huh.
>>46035740
>never right
We all know you got triggered when I told you over the kinetistist. You can just stop talking about it now. I never bring it up except when provoked anymore.
>>46035821
Go choke on a dick.
>>46035774
Life is just easier when you have a boogieman to blame all your problems are. Sometimes it's easier to deceive yourself into thinking every bad post is 2hufag than to realize that we have so many shitposters here in /pfg/.
>>46035799
>>46035821
There is only one, maybe two people who keep talking to you about that shit. You can easily identify them with the blatant ad-hominem bait they post every time you ask a question. Stop talking to them. It just shits up the thread.
>>46035845
You first. At least he posts content.
>>46035867
Is this why people hate BP?
>>46035867
Yeah I get that but 2hufag isn't even the worst shitposter. Hell he makes good points sometimes.
He is just super autistic.
>>46035883
No, BP is just really insufferable.
>>46035799
We don't post builds because they're NOT REQUIRED A build is just that, a single example that only works in a vacuum without any other context, something that DOESN'T EXIST in actual play. Of course, you wouldn't know that since you don't actually play, so you believe that your "build posting" is actually important or matters in any amount. Why yes, people don't want to give you the smug satisfaction of "showing your higher standards and knowledge", because you're a cock that has their own smug head right up their own smug ass.
And as for >>46035821, you seem to think that it's one person getting "triggered" over being "told". Do you realize how small-minded and self-satisfying and punchable you sound when you say these things? Do you consider the fact that, maybe, a single build isn't enough to make the Kineticist good, and that it's not something to be up-in-arms about defending and claiming everyone who calls you (rightfully so!) an idiot is "triggered at being told"?
Damn right I'm mad. And damn right I think you should fuck right off back to the Paizo forums, or GitP, or wherever else you spawned from.
>>46035920
>No, BP is just really insufferable.
If you go though the last ten or so threads, he doesn't start much shit at all. He hardly posts. Why the hateboner?
>>46035270
>>46035371
Really, either way works just as well, though if I recall, natural attacks are normally made at -5 when combined with a regular weapon during a full attack. It's all about style though. The character I have stored that could pull this off is already an Agathian-Blooded Aasimir with an eidolon form that turns him into a giant, winged celestial wolf. If I can come this far without cringing at myself then I need to keep going until I do, effectiveness and mechanics be damned.I wish there was an archetype that actually gave up the summonin SLAs for something.
>>46035883
No people hate BP because most of his builds are shit.
>>46035920
>He is just super autistic.
And that makes him really memorable and an easy target to be smeared as the face of all shitposters.
>>46035821
Your kineticist design was weak shit that is still only about as good at dishing out damage as an archer warrior. Stop trying to shill a class that was made to suck.
>>46035580
You're not paizo, you forgot to said that the punch in your own nuts was RAI since the begining.
>>46033716
boner.jpg
>>46035631
Because he smashes cornugons
>>46035971
>Why the hateboner?
It's a few traits that kind of grind together to make him an insufferable poster. Most specifically the fact that he's not particularly good at character builds coupling with the fact that he has a smug satisfaction about how anybody who criticizes his shit builds are idiots. The fact that he's tripfagging for no good reason just aggravates this.
>>46035971
I think he posts a bit without his name, and sometimes when he posts with his name he's not stirring up shit. But he has stirred up shit before, and sometimes just seeing the name is enough to trigger people he has argued with. And of course, autism compels him to respond, so we get another thread of shit flinging.
>>46036045
I like him better when he is tripping. That way I can just filter him.
>>46033998
I do love playing Paladins!
Mostly Shelynites.
>>46036023
>made to suck
Oh come on.
>>46036025
And I would've got away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids!
>You have plan A, made by yourself, and plan B, made by your GM.
>GM tells you to pick option B, also uses the words "do you trust me? trust me on this"
>Everything goes like shit, option A was the winner
Why you guys keep being this awful at GMing? why you keep making our life worse than it already is? we are playing to evade our shitty life, not to be thrown in the shit like in our average day at life.
>>46036044
OK. I'll accept that.
>>46036045
It's a name not a trip, and his smugness comes from the fact that he wastes a bunch of time building characters that will never see play but he uses as examples to push his belief, and then nobody else goes to the same worthless effort, which is the only proper rebuttal he will accept.
I don't know if it was him or some other Anonymous autist, but a while ago we had an argument over whether or not a Wizard could outdo a Fighter at being a Fighter, and the guy built a Fighter at level 15 so loaded down with magic items and other shit he had like 50 god damn STR. Not sure what that was meant to accomplish, but nobody built a similar Wizard for him so he declared himself winner.
>>46035948
>what I "sound like"
Are you getting angry over tone? Seriously? Get your mom to give you some warm milk and get some sleep.
And you did get "told" over the kinetistist. Its a fine class, worthy of t4, and no amount of goalpost-moving will somehow make you initial assumptions about the class true. Get over yourself.
>>46035985
My builds are shit? Post better ones.
Except no one ever does, because NO ONE ELSE ever posts builds here. I've been waiting for a non-shit bard build for literally months. I'm now finishing up a skill-monkey investigator
>>46036023
>making shit up.
Here is some fact posting: https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/43294723/#43300120
Now you can ether: Post your warrior build that can do that, or SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STAY QUIETand told.
>>46036045
I originally adopted the name because the arguments over the kinetistist were getting really really complicated with multiple annons arguing with each other.
But seriously: Does anyone have any good leads on non-shit bard builds? Even a link to a guide that is less than 4 years old would be great.
>>46036097
Nerds love to fucking powertrip when given power over other nerds. They get their first taste of being the bully rather than the bullied AND THEY LIKE IT!
>>46036074
The finished product is an entire trap class. It seems neat and nifty, but then you look at how Burn actually works and realize you can't dungeon crawl the little bastard, you can do like one fight a day then go to bed. Unless you choose some very specific options that will work in very specific conditions, then you only hurt yourself once at the start of the day to uh... do poke damage. All because we can't have people possibly threatening caster superiority with different methods of play.
>>46036143
Look at this guy! He's almost like a robot! Thanks for the replies.
>>46033736
Well, there's a class with the word 'paladin' in it for you.
I dunnow, this is probably a pretty good reason.

>never see play
My barbarian build is a less autistic version of an actual characterHe was part of a orc/goblin party. He was the leader because he was the strongest, and in a semi-cnsentual relationship with a 5cha pre-nerf witchdoctor. The 20 INT goblin wizard was in no way leading the party at all and only offered minor suggestions about thinkgs that Krog didn't care about anyways.
And my evocation sorcerer is currently being playedat level 7 but with a 15 point buy.

Is this a new meme?

>i have up to 960 range

good god look at those goalposts fly. I mean is this your most serious counter-arguments to having a really long ranged attacks? I can't help but feel that this is bait.

At this stage you're a pretty old meme.
>>46036210
as someone who plays good alignments, and paladins/ fighters and stuff like that, this makes me fucking angry.why are most people who play paladins such shit heads?
>>46036213
To expand on this point:
>lol warrior archer
>factposting with numbers and shit
>lol you can't see at extreme range that no one else can see at, but you don't take attack penalties at that range although most people do. lol kinestists still sucks due to this
Ether this is bait or you are legitimately stupid.
>>46036290
that was a fun game.
>>46033445
All the monsters GM throws out now are undead, because their immune to the Witch's Slumber Hex. Is Witch even worth it anymore?
>>46036326
Nah the point was you were touting a 960 ft. range like it was an advantage instead of what it actually was (i.e. meaningless) because you have a deeply flawed understanding of the system which you claim to play.
STOP. FUCKING. REPLYING. TO. BUILDPOSTER.
>>46036171
The kineticist *has* decent options, you just have to run out into the minefield to pluck them out, and in order to use those decent options you have to deal with bookkeeping and resource management that puts most spellcasters to shame. It fucking sucks in most regards because along with being a shitty class it's also miserable to play and can't even live up to the role it was designed for.
>>46036254
>I mean is this your most serious counter-arguments to having a really long ranged attacks?
Yes? I mean, what's the point of having something if you can't actually use it more than 5% of the time?
>>46036362
Evil Eye and Misfortune work on undead, unless I'm gravely mistaken.
>>46036443
Evil Eye does not, Misfortune does.
Evil Eye's got that mind affecting tag.
>>46036311
No clue, really.
One of my favorite characters I ever played was a Paladin/Warlock Halfling in 5e. Worshiped greater Faeries and made pacts with lesser ones.
>>46036492
That sounds really cool.
>>46036362
Misfortune and Fortune are worth it. Often best if combined with another Save or Lose from someone else. Spell list is ok.
>>46036419
>(i.e. meaningless)
Really? you do know that you can use the 100 foot ranged version of that attack if you need to. Or the 50 foot ranged version of that attack. Inside 60 feet the chilling blizzard blast is nasty. Being able to engage anything in LOS instead of having to walk up to it is a serious advantage over anything that uses melee weapons.
>>46036432
The exact same thing could be said about the HP that you have remaining at the end of the day or the black tentacles that you prepared and didn't cast. "well you don't use it 100% of the time so its useless" is a really bad argent honestly. The kinetistist can win most CR appropriate fights just by kiting with the teleport ability.
>>46036427
>you just have to run out into the minefield to pluck them out,
True. The class is terribly written.
>and in order to use those decent options you have to deal with bookkeeping and resource management that puts most spellcasters to shame.
Huh? What book keeping? You literally only have burn and you don't even want to take that unless you might die anyways.
Running a character in a campaign that was experimented on and magically augmented by the big-bad of the campaign - one of the quirks of the character is that he flat out doesn't believe in magic, it's all just sleight of hand and tricks to hide the real methods and science behind it.
He's not a fedora tipping le atheist though if I've made it sound like that;
Only trouble is I've not really found a decent way to play this quirk so far, there's not been a whole lot of magic outside of combat so far but does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to really bring into focus or what I can do in interactions regarding his disbelief?
>>46036581
And bows have a similar maximum range, but nobody talks about it because it doesn't matter. Which, again, is the point you so clearly miss.
>>46036581
>a CON based class with a d8 hit die
Why are you trying to defend this at all?
>>46036581
>The exact same thing could be said about the HP that you have remaining at the end of the day or the black tentacles that you prepared and didn't cast.
Except your hp and ability to cast your spell are far more likely to be used than succeeding on your perception check to see anemones far away. Pointing out that the range you provided isn't actually feasible to use in game isn't invalid criticism. Being level 12 you can have +15 from skill points, +22 from items if you wanted to spend 40,050 gp. I'm sure there's more, but that'd let you get an average of 47.5 on your perception checks.

The antipaladin as presented in these pics seems less an edgelord and more a fun gag character, almost like he's just genre-aware and chooses to embrace being a hilarious jerk instead of dark and brooding.

So....yes? The whole point I was trying to prove was that the kinetisitst is in the same league as the zen archer. I successfully did that?

And this is a problem because? You end up having about the same HP as the fighter due to more points in con.

Honey, sweetie, darling... I really don't know how to explain this to you any more clearly.
It doesn't matter what the max range is because the number of combats that take place outside the first range increment of a composite longbow is so few as to be effectively zero.
What does matter is that it demonstrates you don't actually know what you're talking about.
I get it, you're proud of babby's first optimized character. But demanding that people post full characters when arguing DPR is stupid. Arguing that DPR does anything more than give you the minimum requirements to be a competent character is stupid. Thinking that a single character build is representative of the abilities of a class as a whole is stupid.
In short, you're stupid. Your builds are flawed in multiple ways that people regularly point out to you, but you continue to condescend to them instead of learning from your mistakes. So please, stop talking like you're any kind of expert or that you're somehow any better than any other shitposter in this thread.
And take off the damn trip. It's going to confuse the masses and I don't want people mistaking me for you.

Those are the scores you put down as your base for your Hobgoblin in the link you posted earlier. (you have that link under your Favorites, don't you?) The Pointbuy for that is 22. Not quite as ridiculous as it seems, but your math is still wrong. I assume it's wrong in a lot of other places.

The max range DOES matter, because some of the more fancy ability combos don't let you use the extended range thing. The most expensive one is the blizzard blast thing, which only has a range of 60 feet. Besides that, though, yea, it doesn't really matter I guess? the important thing is that it is a highly mobile ranged attacker. Like the zen archer.
You have this weird obsession with character attacks, which you post is full of, and which don't make much sense on an anon image board. Its one of the reasons that I like math/buildposting. It speaks for itself, no authority or pedigree required.
I am also loving feedback on my builds. I don't get it very often but its one of the reasons I post them here.

It's not exactly like a warder, but the Vanguard Commander Warlord archetype is IT and shield friendly, and CHA based for your needs.
It plays pretty aggressively and really only works as an off-tank because it lacks a lot of stickiness outside of maneuvers. But I quite like the archetype regardless.

I have posted here before. I am writing a adventure path using Paizo and DSP content. I now need to begin play testing of book 1. Anyone who is interested please use the attached character guide to create a character.
My skype is: Slowcogs (the cartoon one)
If you wish to play please send me a proposed character. If it is obvious you didn't read the character guide from your sheet I am just going to deny you on the spot.
The game will either be on Tuesday or Wednesday evening PST. Exact scheduling will be dependent on group.

>>46038334
If people wish I can also give a book by book summary of the entire adventure. Also, undiscussed in the character guide there is a subsystem for GM use in the Kingdom of Masks adventure path.
These systems are called Piece of Truth and Realizations. Some items/facts/documents have assigned Truth that must be interpreted. Interpreting them requires skill checks (such as discerning the context of a historical document, or dissecting a corpse), these pieces supply one with Truth. At certain brackets of Truth the party receives realizations through NPCs (or PCs if they take the prestige class available in book 3). These give insight into the overall plot and underpinnings of the setting.
Each book has one major Piece of Truth and several minor ones.

Two big questions:
1. The Shattered Mirror tradition is based around an extraplanar being currently trapped on the plane who is the founder of their tradition. Would you be okay with me using this NPC as a contact and working them into the plot somewhat?
2. As far as starting wealth goes, should we just take the average for our class?
I'll probably start my first game of Pathfinder next week or so, first TTRPG as well. I was thinknig of rolling a Wizard or something, but noticed they get a limited amount of spells. How do you play a Wizard like that? Because I can only see myself cowering in a corner until the battles are over because "I might need those Fireballs for the next battle!". Like how in videogames I never use the rocket launcher out of fear I'll run out of ammo when I need it.
Am I overlooking something here, or is a spellcaster just not a good fit for someone with this mindset?

>>46038541
You can use cantrips an unlimited number of times per day (most of which won't be super useful, but some will be), and you can carry a crossbow for when you run out of spells - it'll serve you until you get to the point where you'll be able to cover your weakness with good spell selection and magic items.

Fey are extremely important for the overarching plot of the game. However being part of the Fey courts would make several questions about your character difficult to reconcile. For now, as it is not published DSP content I will not put the approved sticker on it.

Being as I am writing this as an adventure path I will not write him into the plot, but he may come up. Simply be it known that he will not be my focus.

Yeah. You can only prepare a few but you can use each of those as many times as you want.
>Wizards can prepare a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells, each day, as noted on Table: Wizard under “Spells per Day.” These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again. A wizard can prepare a cantrip from an opposition school, but it uses up two of his available slots (see below).
