It got me thinking. Have any of you created your own demigods? I'm plotting out a unique large grodair that achieves a weird sort of fey enlightenment and has a following of scavengers/beachcombers.
>>
Quick, I haven't played in ages, remind me what a good starting kit for a level one pleb is.
I know rope is important.
>>
>>46462516
Yes
Played a game where all the players were demigods. Ended with us accidently causing creation to be undone. Was a fun journey though.
>>
>>46462543
Honestly, I long since have stopped giving a fuck and just grab a <class>'s kit and go with that. Way too much micromanagement for shit that almost never comes up in the games I play in.

Good idea. Pathfinder's Kit it is.
>>
>>46462626
I actually grab a Slayer's Kit most of the time. It's a little heavy, but it's got all the usual stuff plus a pair of manacles, and I imagine it's better to manacle folks than try to tie them up with cheap rope.

Is it possible to make an actually blind character perform well?
>>
>>46462786
The Oracle's Blind curse is probably the only way, because it at least gives you bonuses to offset the penalties. And, oh boy, are there penalties.
>>
>>46462822
Oracles don't actually have a blinded curse.

Closest they have is Clouded Vision, which limits normal sight to I think 30ft
>>
>>46462904
It's the closest thing to actually being blind. I don't think there's even really an option to be blind outside of having the DM okay it.
>>
>>46462904
>>46462822

Yea I mean like actually permanently suffering from Blindness, not just a cataract.

The Eyebiter Mesmerist actually removes its eye, and it's possible for the eye to be destroyed, leaving you permanently dazzled. If you remove your remaining eye, you're permanently blinded.
>>
>>46462988
Uh, Blind Fight is gonna be a necessity then, I think. Other than that, not a clue.

How do I get into a lewd pathfinder game and where do I find one?
>>
>>46463089
You delve into your imagination and make it there.
>>
>>46462786
Well... you could play a caster with a familiar calling your shots? If you don't actually make attack rolls, the penalties from everyone having total concealment against you matter significantly less. Of course, you couldn't use normal scrolls(or a normal spellbook, for that matter), and there are other downsides(like counting as flatfooted against all enemies), but you certainly could do it without being useless to the party. At high levels you can probably find a way to get tremorsense or blindsense or something similar as well.
>>
>>46463119
You cannot target something you have no line of sight to unless otherwise specified by the spell in question. Blind casters can't cast on anything but themselves.

In case anyone's interested in the grodair's portfolio (any port in a storm, hurrr):

"Gullcrown", finder of junk, eater of gulls, rambler of stories
-Favored weapon: sling (for whackin' annoying birds)
-Domains: Plant, Travel, Water
-Subdomains: Flotsam, Trade

His followers are desperate beachcombers, raving lunatics (grodair-atics?), and hermits blessed by him on a whim. His priesthood is small but consists of "ranters", warpriests that stamp along the shores of his lake, spreading the good word when they're not trying to barter with potential converts. Gullcrown himself is protected by a retinue of "scary templars" as he calls them, gun scavengers that cobbles their weapons together from whatever they found on the beach. He's also produced a fair of offspring, which means the shoreline of his lake is steadily expanding...

>>46463119

I was thinking like a Zatoichi kinda character.

I'm interested in the vivisectionist alchemist but I've been told that often, the only way to go about it is by picking the ragebreed skinwalker for natural attacks that stack with the feral mutagen.

Is there any other viable combo that takes advantage of its sneak attacks? 1pp only for this one if you dont mind.
>>
>>46462786
Blinded Blade style?
>>
>>46463089
Try roll20, I've lost count of how many games I've unwittingly joined only to end up realizing that its members and GM are really into ERP.
>>
>>46463375
Literally any Vivisectionist will work. They may not be as optimized as the Skinwalker version, but they'll work just fine.

Just remember that you'll have d8 HD and light armor, so be careful not to get yourself mauled to death.
>>
>>46463375
The usual combo is Vivisectionist/Beastmorph to get Pounce at level 10, then charge in with greater invisibility and maul people to death.

If you don't mind a bit of dipping, you could also take 4 levels of Scout Rogue (maybe taking the Bomber talent to get access to bombs) and build up Pummeling Style and Pummeling Charge to get non-polymorph pounce that automatically grants sneak attack.
>>
>>46463089

F-List has the occasional game, but the players are toxic, the fetishes are super weird, and the campaigns are kinda boring.

Roll20 has the occasional game, but you run into the same problem with F-List, only not as bad.

Sometimes pfg will have one, but they're once in a blue moon.

>>
>>46463628
The dying man was Mr.Jones, he was telling them a fairy tale.
>>
>>46463520
The usual shit. I mean, I'm sure most Anons would appreciate a good internet fucking everyone once in a while, but it does get annoying when the character concept you've been dying to play ends up getting led to the tavern privvy by the hand, expecting some sort of clever ruse to advance the plot only to end up being the unwilling recipient to a halfling bard's handjob.

Obviously you'd be a little bit surprised at the turn of events but you're invested towards the story and your character so you write it off expecting it as some sort of character establishing moment for said bard, but it never ends. You take second watch and she crawls into your bedroll and sucks you off, you put yourself in harms way and voluntarily drive the wagon while the others hide only for her to give you a while-driving-HJ. You cant even complain publicly since its all done via PM and everyone thinks its adorable for the perky bard redhead with an irish accent to befriend the awkward forlorn wizard that never set foot outside his library till before the adventure. But they dont know about the lewd chat she sends your way during every lapse in the narrative pace.
>>
>>46463695
Because the people who go on roll20 for ERP are the folks who can't even find people to ERP in more "normal" situations. They're outcasts in an already outcast community.

Elliquiy, it's probably the most adorably vanilla experience you'll find for ERP.
>>
>>46463739

>Halfling redhead bard with Irish accent

That sounds adorable.
>>
>>46463739
Best thing to do in that sort of situation is actually talk to them about it IC.
As someone who has done a shit ton of ERP, nothing throws people for a loop as much as your character quietly suggesting they calm their tits, or asking if they're serious about a relationship, or that sort of thing.

Soon as you do that they either get bored and bone someone else because relationships are for scrubs, or you get control of the situation and can subtly redirect them away from some of the trouble-zones.

Basically? Just roleplay it to the hilt and it'll all work out.
>>
>>46463739
>unwilling recipient to a halfling bard's handjob.

To be sure, why can't you do both?

Vanilla in the sense that most players seem to be interested in the scenario more than the fetishes, which means the most common story you'll run into is a guy and girl boning for some reason or other.

It's Trashy Romance Novel-tier vanilla.

>>46463996
>Eh, she's got a mouth, and hatefucking/rape is entirely an option. She's right up there with Sharktits on the RAPE tier.
Pretty much my plan, the basic idea was a post-series game involving a magnificently fucked up relationship between Azula and one of the guards at her new home, him becoming a bit of a rock she secures herself to before starting to manipulate him, them falling into an unhealthy relationship, love blooming and eventually their escape into the Post-war world to try and find a place where the most dangerous female fire bender in the world can be at peace complete with her shell shocked sort-of lover and ex-jailor who might just be Sokka if people hate OC
But sadly, there's not a single person interested in playing Azula as hetrosexual and not hung like a horse, that's life.

>>46464041
Carrion Crown. The GM never statted things in character sheets on Roll20, and was bad at math. He also awarded exp individually based on how many knowledge checks you succeed in book 1. Combat mostly consisted of me being knocked out because I'm a dread fighting undead and the magus carrying us because he was the only one leveling up. Of course, this was after he spent two or three minutes getting the monster's stats on d20pfsrd.
>>
>>46464041
Oh boy, where to even begin.

It started in late 2010. Some friends of mine in an IRC channel somehow ended up discussing D&D, and eventually we decided we were going to run a game with rotating DMs.

That is, until our That DM decided she would take it all onto her shoulders. For a full month, she apparently was building a campaign from the ground up. When we finally started playing, it all seemed like it would be a fun story.

That is, until the headless rape demon hiding in a pile of mutilated female corpses, the vial that had an NPC in it that we were specifically warned would ruin everything, and a dozen other horrifically stupid and awful events that made it clear that our DM was a fucking idiot and that there was nothing of value to gain from playing with them.

Or the halting Evil campaign she ran after that, where she forced her magical realms on fucking everybody, where I made my escape by casting disintegrate on myself and then never speaking to her again.

Campaign wasn't all that special to begin with, but it was a fun time with friends and I was playing a really over-the-top sweetheart Paladin of Shelyn, basically playing him as a 50s movie heartthrob with magic powers.

Then the local munchkin ruined everything with magic item crafting, trivializing every encounter and generally being a shit.

Ask Dorian about 'Kid Cthulhu' sometime - the guy was playing some kind of weird abberation spawn.

On the subject of ERP, I will admit one of the best lines I've ever seen come out of a game came out of an ERP.
Situation: Vampire decides to scout out a village on his own before the main group, wanders into this bumblefuck backwater nowhere wearing a Phantom Mask, despite promising not to reveal himself and starts flirting with the first girl he sees.
Literally the first girl he sees.
<REDACTED FOR HIS OWN DIGNITY> "You would make a fine addition to my court, little lady." His hand stretched out to tilt her head by the chin, forcing her to look at him. "You should leave this forsaken place, and come with me where the stars are right."
<GM> The woman looks at the oddly clothed vampire and raises an eyebrow. "A court? Father says I'm destined for great courts. What do you have to offer?" she says, a smile quirking at her full lips.
<GM> A burly farmlad, blonde-haired and ruddy-faced, walks up to the pair, and looks to the vampire, then to the woman. "Margeret, this man botherin' ya?" He asks, his voice cracking on the last syllable.
<REDACTED FOR HIS OWN DIGNITY> "I offer you the world, all the riches you can imagine. And a lifetime of *pleasure*." He snaps his gaze to the farmer, eltting him get a good look at his mask.
<GM> The farmboy snorts audibly. "Look, mister, I dunno WHERE you came from, but if y'don't leave m'sister alone..." Margaret stops him with a hand on his arm. "Oh come now, he might be fun to talk to...go, didn't you have a meeting with your friends for training with Grandfather? Go have fun with your swords and legends."
<REDACTED FOR HIS OWN DIGNITY> "Swords? Legends?" He half heartedly holds back a chuckle. "I'm both, woman." He grips her jaw tightly and draws her in for a kiss.
Masterpiece. That last line will never not make me smile.

I've convinced the DM to allow him to switch to unchained rogue if he wants to, in the hopes that maybe he'll show up more often if he feels like he isn't as much of a useless piece of shit. Not that I didn't warn him about basic rogue. I told him dawg.

I've never thought about this but how do combat maneuvers interact with natural attacks?

Lets say claw claw bite, if you wanted to trip or maybe dirty trick, is the first claw attack all you lose for that attack string or do your other natural attacks suddenly become secondary?

You just lose one of the attacks. It doesn't change the secondary/primary nature of the attacks. I personally just grabbed a helm of the mammoth lord and use that for either finishers or dirty tricks.

>>
>>46464696
Eh, I can see that working just as well for a serious campaign. It tests the PC's characters (rather heavy-handedly, but still) and helps definitively establish the kind of tone you should expect. Granted, how it's executed can mean the difference between a serious story and a "serious" story.
>>
>>46464767
I can see that too, but she was upset no one took her up on her solicitations and that we tried to give her a better life.
>>
>>46464842
That, too, can work for a while depending on how scarred she was. Maybe she's suspicious that somebody's doing it. After all, it's possible that was how she got recruited in the first place. Maybe she thinks there's no way anybody could be kind to a little whore like her. Heck, maybe there's an "orphan master" angry that you took his/her merchandise, and that can potentially lead into its own sprawling questline, wherein you find out that he was just the lackey for a more powerful foe, and so on and so forth.

Now, I know this DM was ass, I'm just speaking in defense of the idea itself because it's one of those ones that gets a real bad rap thanks to being a popular one that's very easy to horrifically bungle, especially if you're just using it as a vehicle for your fetishes, and I get worried that some GMs will doubt themselves and avoid using a pretty solid archetype based on stories of others.

A horrible sad truth; former game ruined by people who knew too little (and were elitists that thought otherwise) and this one ruined by one player who knew just enough.

It's not "a more powerful master" with those types.

Or rather, it shoudn't be.

It's all the nobles he was providing for, when they find out the operation has been compromised, that start reacting with all sorts of panic or knee-jerking (not all of them, but there were quite a few nobles) of their own out of fear they'd either be accused with enough evidence to get searched, hunted down for vengeance (it's not like those children don't come from anywhere after all, and some of them are more into the 'fox hunt a village' kind of foreplay) or otherwise used against them.

Yes and no; this game was still before she was fully introduced into the Eberron setting where her Scorpion familiar made more sense along with her tattoos; the glamoured robes were originally suggested by the GM because it gets cold in Khorvaire compared to the tropical Xendrik. It was then fluffed later that the robes were offered because Helen refused to wear many clothes at all, and so the 'pasties' as it were to match with the rest of the tattoos she is decorated in.

Sure, it wouldn't be all that different from all the 3ed RPGs that came out in the late 90s (or KOTOR 1+2), and I liked most of those.

Of course, the prospect of any cRPG made in the CURRENT YEAR is pretty dicey. It's like every video game writer decided to self-lobotomize back in 2013 or so.

In pathfinder/d&d/most other systems with similar magic structure, why are there not universities or schools where anyone can go and learn magic for free, or a nominal fee or agreed upon term of service?

>F-List

My current score is 2 failed games DMing, one failed game as a player. The first time I had a Black Blade Magus who wanted to find a way to hook up with his sword, a Cleric with cursed lactating titties, and a Kitsune Paladin (shitty 3rd party Dragon Knight archetype) whose idea of Lawful Good was... skewed. A couple Kobolds got raped but it just kind of fell apart. The second time I tried to DM nothing of note happened, scheduling conflicts led to very little actual gameplay. When I was a player I got to be an Ifrit Barbarian and do some dungeon delving with a slightly lewd Aasimar Monk. We had a couple chats about how soft her hands actually were, and uh... the group fell apart.

tl;dr my F-List experience was soft and flaky, without much flavor.
>>
>>46467430
And before someone says 'but Equipment Trick (Sunrod) doesn't work RAW because you can't prepare a second-level spell without the right slot!' again, I would like to remind everyone that the sunrod has the same language as similar effects involving alchemical power components - you prepare the spell normally and choose to spend the extra component (in this case a Sunrod) at the time of casting, it isn't necessary to prepare with it. Not to mention, the feat would be utterly useless for spontaneous casters if that were the case, since they don't prepare whatsoever - and Paizo's purposeful removal of early entry tricks is the primary reason why metamagic rods of Heighten Spell don't exist.

>>46467650
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/equipment-trick-combat#TOC-Sunrod-Tricks

It's basically a free Heighten if you include a Sunrod when you cast a [Light] spell, making it effectively a 2nd-level spell for all purposes, and Dancing Lantern is a 1st-level [Light] spell on both the Wizard and Cleric lists, meaning something as simple as Wiz1/Cler2 with the appropriate skill ranks qualifies for Mystic Theurge with it - in fact, you don't even need the full +1/+3 Eclectic Training until 14th level when MT runs out, which gives you plenty of time ICly to obtain it. Until then, you just need the basic +1 version and you can enjoy fast-track Wizard and Cleric spell progression.

I'm not certain but I think even PFS has Equipment Trick (Sunrod), so if you want to delve into the cancer that is PFS, being a double-6ths caster at 11th level isn't a bad way to do it.
>>

>Accomplished Sneak Attacker: +1d6 sneak attack, requires sneak attack class feature.

>Requires 2nd level spells, 2d6 sneak attack

Looks to me like you can become an arcane trickster with a single level dip into unchained rogue, and still come out of it with full spellcasting progression.

An arcane trickster that starts as a teleportation specialist wizard would be a pretty slippery fucker, with free teleportation, greater invisibility, still and silent spell casts, etc.

The dwarves. And by extension the chromatic dragons they serve, but mostly the dwarves.

They're feral murderous cultist shits who make mining impossible and murder everyone they tunnel into. The chromatics like them that way, because the fey that rule the surface would slaughter them all given a chance.

An entire race that's too crazy to mind control and universally armed with cold iron is a pretty good deterrent to any invasion of the dragons' underground empires.

In my world there is a nation called Barium, a LE Mageocracy ruled over by a nobility comprised totally of Wizards.

Some laws in the country include;
-All laws must be written in a specific language (which can only be spoken by Wizards, like an Arcane version of Druidic)
>Only people who can cast Arcane spells have property rights
>Except Sorcerers or Witches. They get burned at the stake by state Inquisitors.
>If you aren't an Arcane spellcaster, you're a serf
>Children with Arcane talent are taken from their homes to be trained. If they learn to be Wizards, they get adopted by a noble family. If they are Sorcerers, they get turned into Nulls, magically lobotomized slaves who act as familiars for Wizards.
>Bards must be trained in a college and have license from the crown to practice their art and perform.
>Divine magic is tolerated, barely.

They act as the antagonist for the home country of the players, a mechanized republic with heavy divine magic favoritism. The players hate them so much, but the world is on the edge of WW1 so they spend most of their time trying to keep Franz from getting shot.

That would be the Republic of Vandorme, the Not!Dutch of my setting and a nation born from the botched experiments of the Dragon-Elector that once ruled the region.

They're a nation of giants and half-giants that are sitting on some of the most extensive Archives in the setting, and have been exploiting the discoveries within to produce what can only be described as Napoleonic-tier weaponry in a setting still in the throes of the Renaissance. To make matters more complicated, their precarious geographic position means the Drachenstaat (the Dragon HRE that once ruled over them) can't simply invade them through brute force as that might spark a war between the Drachenstaat and the Kingdom of Chalon, the Not!France of the setting and a serious bruiser in military affairs.

Their main export is terrorism.

Why the sorcerer/witch hate? Getting power from somewhere else or what? What about sage sorcerers or whatever bloodline uses Int? Do people who can use arcane cantrips from traits count? What's the cutoff for being an arcane caster?
>>
>>46468536
The thought that powerful magic could spring up in random people terrifies the people of the nation. They live above a congregation of Ley Lines, making arcane magic very powerful. The people were ruled by tyrant Sorcerers in the past and when they were defeated, laws were created that eventually led to Sorcerers being a persecuted class. Witches form pacts with poorly understood Patrons, who are mistrusted and likewise can spring up in almost anyone. To them the only TRUE magic is that which comes from study and how the written magical word is considered sacred.

Sorcerers try to hide their talent and pretend at being Wizards. Arcane Sorcerers do it best, but others can try to hide from getting found out.

Cantrips don't count, but many people have the ability to use them since many people are born with natural talents for magic int he country, thanks to the Ley Lines. If they can use that to learn real magic, it's s step up, but most people are seen as being 'too stupid' or 'dim' to use real magic.

If you're not smart enough to use 'real' magic, you are not smart enough to have a say in the laws or ruling the country.

The Fae. Even before they existed as Far everyone hated them, and its only by divine mandate that they survived the collapse of their empire.

Still, that hasn't stopped an insane, immortal, former test subject White Dragon from doing everything he can to hunt down any Fae he comes across, often polymorphing as an armored warrior in white in order to gather people to help him kill as much as he can.

The disguise never lasts. Once he starts ripping them open and creating on their entrails is usually when the masquerade starts to fall.

My setting has a gnoll empire that's basically the Zulu mixed with Napoleonic France.

>internship program or something?
Funny you should mention that. First, some background info.

In my setting, Dragons are asexual, being one of the most ancient races who predate natural organic life. Instead of reproducing, their essence is tied to the natural flow of magic in the world, and several artifacts scattered across the world, and so when they die they reincarnate some time later at one of these artifact sites (or in a special vessel prepared ahead of time to be tended by someone they trust, commonly called a Dragon Egg), as a completely new individual, though one that can come to learn of its past lives through experience, growth, and meditation (think like the Avatar from A:TLA).

Now, during each lifetime, a Dragon may choose to uplift a single mortal organism as his "herald", granting unto it a portion of its Draconic might, power, and essence. In game, this is represented by the application of the Half-Dragon template.

Now, a Dragon csn only choose a single herald per lifetime, and that herald's lifespan is extended to last as long as the Dragon's. This white dragon was rendered Immortal by the experimentation performed on him, and I've left it up in the air regarding Lore whether he ever did gain a herald or not.

The original plan was they he already had one, and that herald betrayed him and caused him to be tortured and tormented so, hence part of his burning insanity and blind rage.

>>46468900
The standard "courts" as commonly known do not exist in this setting. There are certain small councils of disparate former kinsmen and brotherhoods from before the destruction of their empire and their transfiguration into the Fae, but they are often scattered and falling apart as the younger Fae continue to abandon the old ways in favor of following their chaotic instincts.
Luckily for the Fae, the dragon's all consuming rage often tires him out, so once he's had himself enough carnage he goes off to sleep for several years

Some confusion here as to whether you're referring to maneuvers (like trip or sunder) or "maneuvers" (path of war ones). Path of war maneuvers will generally tell you what type of action is required to initiate them (and to the best of my knowledge, you can initiate a 'standard' maneuver as part of a full attack, but not multiple ones at a time).

With natural attacks you can only use one at a time while moving, unless you've got something that says otherwise. So you could move and make a claw attack and attempt to sunder with it, but you could not move and make 2 claw attacks.

So you could move and use a bite attack (which would allow you to initiate a manueve).

Or if you're making a full attack, you can use your natural attacks as part of that (at BAB for primary natural attacks, or -5 BAB for secondary natural attacks, -2 for secondary natural attacks IF you have the multiattack feat). Natural attacks do not benefit from iterative attacks.

So if you were a full BAB user with +10/+5 say 6 secondary natural attacks and multiattack, you could make a full attack at +10 (+relevant stat), your 6 secondary natural attacks at +8 (+relevent stat, usually strength), and your second weapon attack at +5(+stat) and then you'd be done.

For maneuvers like trip, you can make them as part of any attack at whatever relevant BAB you'd use (so if you were +11/+6/+1, a trip attempt made on the third attack would have a -10 to the CMB for it).

>What SJW transgender-agenda shit is this?
It's not, its Biology. Dragons do not have any sex at all, they are essentially giant magical furnaces and beings of pure power and destruction. The phrase "asexual" did have meaning before the tumbltards and SJWs ruined it

And no, if you bloody read the thread, particularly>>46469190 youd know that being original is not my aim in the slightest, creating a coherent setting where people aren't boning dragons 24/7 is because with this setting I'm actively removing and avoiding all of my fetishes so that my group won't think I'm magical realming
Now quit strawmanning like a retard shitposter
>>
>>46469430
Also, if you have BAB that would grant an additional attack instead of getting an iterative attack with a natural weapon, you just get to use another one on the go

So if you had 2 claws and +4bab, you could only use 1 on the go, if you had +5bab you could instead use both on the go.

>Denying yourself your fetishes
>Not embracing them

My dragons produce dragonborn by deflowering and impregnating human women, the resulting spawn are known for their wonderful plumage and can bear or sire children. Children of these dragonborn, however, are sterile, meaning a constant stream of viable dragonborn is needed.

The most powerful woman of the setting is a voluptuous genki brown-girl tomboy Spaniard.

Eyebiter mesmerist, you mean? It's just as good as the base class, save maybe that you'll miss touch treatment whenever someone intimidates you. The Will-save-vs-blindness tricks are probably worth that much.

All the other trades are shit like mental potency that you'll never use, or Bluff bonuses you didn't really need.

...OH HEY, it just occurred to me that while they barred it from Improved Familiar and such, nothing says you can't give your eyeball familiar archetypes. That'd be hilarious.
