I've literally NEVER played a character with a pet. I should, but I just do not feel like it.

Hey, /pfg/! How did your weekend go? Did you have a nice session?
>>47882350
I know it's not actually the best choice, but I love wolves.
Though I do like the big cats now and then.
>>47882526
No. It was more of the same with the group I described here. >>47882335
>>47882480
>>47882519
I think those are both Tressyms, guys.
>>47882480
So I was going to respond to this post.
And then I hit post and it yelled at me that my file was a duplicate.
Because >>47882519 beat me to posting the Owl cat.

I actually like having a crow now and then. Clever birds full of grimdarkand sass.

Our Kitsune turned into a fox and forgot how to turn back into a human after a night of heavy drinking.
>>47882526
I had two nice sessions after over a month of canceled ones.
The one where I DM was pretty uneventful, since we had to cut it short, but there was some nice story progression.
My group also started a campaign at level 1 with 10 Mythic Ranks, of which I can tell stories if people want

Did you guys notice the Baby Bestiary is in the trove? Not even in a folder like literally everything else, just sitting there in the root.
>>47882526
It wasn't too bad, spent the session doing RP since half of the party was missing and instead got drunk with the crew of a pirate ship.
SO! Last thread I asked about a potential iconic character, and was informed that aside from the obvious thing that got people replying, she was very boring. A totally fair assessment, since I was drawing upon a character made for Paizo's Hell's Vengeance AP, and she hadn't gotten fleshed out due to >level 1. So I must pose two questions!
What makes an interesting iconic character, and what level would you say an iconic should be shown to be "iconic" at?
>>47882606Did you sing any shanties?

Crows and foxes give the bestsass.
>>47882639
No, see >>47882580
We're heading to the Inner Sea though! TO TALDOR!
I need some help, /pfg/. I'm sick of GMing. I was desperate for a group and gathered up three friends to play with and decided to use a GMPC to be our fourth. We had agreed to play Iron Gods together and our party was a half-elf bard, human spellslinger wizard, a changeling witch, and an android aegis. The witch player and I have experience from a past group that broke up, while the bard and wizard were completely new to the game. First book went okay, although half the party had a very gimmicky personality. The bard was a metrosexual twink who the player described as "as pop-punk as possible", while the wizard was lulsorandumb. To give an example of the shit he would do, the first thing he did was go to the stables and suck a horse's cock. The witch was the typical changeling on the run from her mom, kinda bland but at least not annoying to deal with. This party would have been fun in a lighthearted game, but I intended for the campaign to be a bit serious and they threw it right out the window. Regarding combat, the bard player didn't even bother looking at what his class does so when it was his turn he just asked me "What do i do?" I was willing to comply for the first few sessions, but it's been about two months and he still refuses to look at what a damn Bard does because "Reading is for nerds". The bard has also attempted to seduce every single female in the game so far including Val before I told him she was 12 years old, and by seduction I mean he just rolls Diplomacy without even trying to set up any kind of buildup. If seduction fails, the wizard tries sexual assault. It's gotten to the point that he has nearly raped many NPCs but got his ass beaten each time. It also doesn't help that I feel like I'm babying the party because my Aegis GMPC does enough damage to take out any threat within three or so rounds.
TL;DR My group is driving me to hate GMing.
Kill their characters, make them create new ones
Any random and shit behavior costs xp

Crows do it better, because crows can speak from the start.

Aw, cute. But Taldor, huh? Should be smooth sailing-best of luck with the raids and piracy!
>>47882624
6 or 12. Make the character relatable somehow.
>>47882601
Sure! Stories are nice-go right ahead.
>>47882665
Does smug count as sass? Because if it does, I think cats have a strong showing.
>>47882624
>What makes an interesting iconic character?
An iconic should be, well, ICONIC. They should, at a glance, immediately tell what class they are showcasing. A bearded man with a staff for a wizard, a lithe elf with multiple knives for a rogue, a baggy-eyed man with potions and bombs and oils for an alchemist, etc. But on top of being recognizably of a class, they should have physical and personality traits that make them stand out to be something more than just generic. A unique fighting-style or weapon choice, personal trinkets on them that point them to being more than they appear, a personality that might or might not be a standard for the class, etc.
>What level are they?
The original 11 iconics were shown off at levels 1, 6, and 12. I'd say to show off your iconic as a 6th-level character, since it's enough to showcase their abilities that have developed without doing too much all at once.
>>47882817
Yes it does.
>>47882750
My point still stands
>>47882526
Innawoods, couldn't make it to session.
Instead worked on my crappy homebrewStill wating for next round of critique
>>47882795
The party decided before character creation that we would all be Hybrid classes for some reason.
By the time I was told about the campaign, the group had an Aasimar Guardian/Hierophant Warpriest, a Human Guardian Brawler, and a Half-elf Champion Bloodrager, so I came in as an Elf Archmage Arcanist to fill the gap in casters.
We wake up in a dungeon with no gear, in chains that inhibit mythic power and magic with an NPC who breaks us out of our chains. We start trying to get out of the megadungeon we were apparently trapped in, scavenging gear as we go from things we kill.
Our first encounter is against 7 Mythic Wolves and a Mythic Winter Worg, which I found out later was between CR 9 and CR 10. Since I'm the character least reliant on gear, and they were very grouped together, I drop a Mythic Color Spray with Channel Power to force save penalties, knocking every enemy unconscious for almost a minute, and giving our party a chance to Coup de Grace them.
We manage to find some gear, including the Bloodrager's Legendary Item, her Elven Curve Blade, which lets her pump out something to the tune of 75 damage per round as long as she has mythic power to spend
Our DM takes this as a challenge to amp up encounter difficulty, and has undead enemies specifically try to target me in an effort to deny the opportunity to let off more Color Sprays, letting very dangerous Brawler and Bloodrager shred the next few encounters with relative ease while I fly and Mirror Dodge my way out of danger and the Warpriest buffs the party.
As we get close to the exit, we have to get through a short maze lit by glowing sapphires and guarded by two Mythic Minotaurs. They start shredding us in tight quarters, banishing the Bloodrager to a Maze and teleporting away to heal until we finally just unleash the majority of our remaining powers for the day to finish them off. I gather every sapphire in the room, gaining about 18000 gp worth of gems so we can get real gear when we leave.

>>47883210
>>47883149Er, Rise of the Evening Star
>>47883372
No.
I have never played Pathfinder before, but my friends are doing a game and I am joining in.
The setting is going to be pretty dark and late Renaissance /early Victorian era. I pitched making a character based on Hunters from Bloodborne, and the DM liked it so much I got free reign to design my own trick weapon and a race(more like a human subtype) with a 10 rp limit.
I feel like I am going to fall into some trap options though since it is 3.5 based and I do not know much about it.
I have designed a weapon that I am fairly happy with(Saw Cleaver) and have been mostly looking at Inquisitor to make the character but feel lost looking at all the options between all the archetypes and have no idea what race options are worth it.
It seems like my pistol will be pretty useless other than being around for flavor as well.
Any tips for building a mostly melee Inquisitor that is fairly nimble or ideas for building a race based on the beast hunters of Bloodborne?
Also should I just give up on the pistol being more than decoration?
>>47883372
I care.Specifically, I care about bullying them.
If I use a wand as a non-caster do I have a caster level? Does it default to 1?
Hey guys. Wanted to ask a stupid question...
Friend is gming and asked us to come up with whatever was awesome, silly or stupid using paizo sourcebooks/wiki
...Is there any way to make a monk/fighter who doesn't need vows to ORA? I haven't the foggiest on where to start...
>>47883392
how did that blind her?
>>47883410
Nobody except people with special features uses their own caster level for wands, they're set upon creation of the magic item. Usually it's the minimum - in fact it's pretty much always the minimum unless you get one specially made.
A friend of mine really wants to play a Kineticist. Like, really badly. The game I'm planning will go from about level 2-7. Would said player run into real problems at this point, assuming no one else is playing a full caster or other Tier 1 class?
>>47883423
I mean, you could be a Brawler. Might want to check through most of the core books next time.
>>47883429
Why does this keep getting posted?
>>47883429
Keep posting it.
>>47883423
Well, Brawler is literally a Monk/Fighter combination class.
>>47883429
>filename
>>47883451
Someone is being satirical about DSP fans posting I think
>>47883410
Wands default to the minimum caster level necessary to cast the spell it has in it.
For example, a Wand of Cure Light Wounds has CL 1, since a 1st level Cleric could cast Cure Light Wounds, but a Wand of Cure Moderate Wounds has CL 3, since Cure Moderate Wounds is a 2nd level spell, so only casters level 3 or higher can cast it normally.
>>47883447
>>47883535
Damn. No feats or classes to get around that?
>>47883448
>Would said player run into real problems
No, he should be fine. Despite /tg/'s obsession with saying it's utter shit, it's quite balanced and more importantly it's fun. The biggest tip I can give is to make sure that both you and the player fully understand it, there's a lot of moving parts to it.
>>47883429
Why /do/ you keep posting my cover?
>>47883423
Third for brawler. Martial Flexibility is a lot more fun than it is strong.
Most of the time, if you just need to deal damage, you're just going to want Dedicated Adversary as a free flex-favored enemy.
But you can make a lot of niche combat options possible with martial flexibility. MF into improved grapple with a Dan Bong and pre-errata Brawling armor.
MF into Crane Style while fighting defensively and combat expertise and you can bring your AC up by a good 6 or 7.
Is it really powerful? Not particularly. Is it fun to play with? Yes.
Learn your weapons. Brawlers don't need free hands to flurry, so you can just hold maneuver weapons until you need them.
>>47883595
Totally. There's a Arcane Discovery that lets you use your caster level for wands instead.
>>47883600
Thanks for the advice. I discouraged my players from playing Fighter in particular because they're quite unimaginative and plays Fighters as "move forward, full attack", and that's boring for both me and the player.
>>47883595
This will: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/wizard/arcane-discoveries/arcane-discoveries-paizo/staff-like-wand
And this kinda does: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/magus/magus-arcana/paizo---magus-arcana/wand-mastery-su
>>47883372
That's approaching dragon logic and you know it.
>>47883595
Wizards can get around it with the Staff-Like Wand Arcane Discovery, but you need to be 11th level and have Craft Staff
>>47883609
It's good art
>>47883629
>>47883631
>>47883645
This would all be a lot more helpful if I wasn't playing a Fighter who thinks he's a gish because he has max ranks in UMD.
I mean, it's very helpful for my magus that I'm working on next, but not so helpful for what I'm doing now.
>>47883680
Just stick to stuff that doesn't need to scale like buffs and CC.
>>47882350
I am currently playing a hunter with a giant orchid mantis companion. This isn't as beefy as I'm used to, but druid/rangers have a lot of defensive buffs plus use of teamwork feats and superior movement makes for a hardy and versatile character.
>>47883735
Forgot the pic.
>>47883680
Wands of Enervation don't need to be above their minimum caster level
>>47883680
Yeah, this >>47883723
Take wands of Haste and stuff. Guarantee you'll be appreciated if you don't have someone that can do it instead, and if you do, they can stop using those spells (since you have them covered) and focus on something else.
>>47883753
It looks like it would be at home in A Bug's Life
>>47883723
>>47883754
>>47883767
Well then, time to read through the full caster guides for good lists of buffs and debuffs. Thanks anons.
>>47883609
How much shit will I eat if I take Master Craftsman and Craft Magic Arms and Armor if I want to make a tony stark Warder?
>>47882624
An Iconic should be pertinent to the class, and show off something perhaps a bit unique to the class or archetype. A good Iconic should be an exemplar of mechanics and fluff fitting as well as possible.
After all, many classes or mechanics require a certain personality or mindset. I'm sure you understand if I mention "harbinger". Or a Dread.
Likewise, the mechanics themselves can influence the character much like the character itself can lead to certain mechanics. Fullcasters are often well known for thinking they can do it all on their own - in no small part because for the most part they're right. Experienced characters may not be afraid to ask a contact or partymember who can handle something well for them, but for anything but "friend's known specialty" they'll probably FIRST think in terms of their own capabilities and see if they can figure it out within the purview of their 'build'.
>>47883971
Master Craftsman doesn't actually work as written. For instances lets say if you take Master Craftsman for Craft Armor, and then Craft Magic Arms & Armor. You can't make both magic weapons & armor, only armor, as you can only use Craft Armor to make magic items and Craft Armor can only make magic armor.
The feat itself, by RaW is really really bad. You spend two feats to do less than half of what a crafter can do for one. Way less than half if you use it for Craft Wondrous.
>>47883971
Considering you're a Warder, not much but still a good amount.
You could try instead playing either an Aegis, or perhaps an Artisan if you are allowed DDS in addition to DSP
>>47883903
I'm...not? I was curious, not mad.
If I want to play a Wizard with a Bonded Staff, how screwed am I before I can take Craft Staff?
>inb4 Wizards are never screwed
>>47884051
Not much. The Arcane Bond being a magic item doesn't really matter much.
>>47884018
>>47884014
That sucks. I don't really like the aegis, and initiator soul maneuver progression isn't that good. I guess I have to drop the battle. I could blacksmith angle.I could use a profession skill(Blacksmith) to craft them both, right?
>>47884051
Well, you start with a masterwork quarterstaff, which is slightly useful in rustydagger shanktowngranted I am unsure if for it to be a staff still counts as a quarterstaff or not. I could be wrong
You still get that free spell per day, but the staff is also a bit of a liability if it ever gets broken, and takes really long to come into its own.
Unless you plan on MCing or PrC, its generally better to take a Familiar over a bonded item.
>>47884118
>I could blacksmith angle.I could use a profession skill(Blacksmith) to craft them both, right?
Technically no. With Profession Blacksmith it allows you to take the feat then craft nothing. Because the rules are dumb.
>>47883312
A halfling fucked a dog, and your only question is their lifespan?
>>47884118
>I could blacksmith angle.I could use a profession skill(Blacksmith) to craft them both, right?
not unless your GM decides to be nice to you, but by RaW no it doesn't.
>>47883600
It has a very low optimization floor, and a low ceiling as well.
He needs to understand the class VERY well to be of use, but the 3pp archetypes in Porphyra can make up for it quite well.
>>47884136
Well shit, that really sucks.
>>47884164
There there anon. With luck some other anon my decide to make an Initiating Archetype for the Artisan, or perhaps come Spherecaster version of the Bladecaster to meld with ArmoristI just might once I finish Blood Reaver and some other stuff

>>47883321
Blink dogs had no defined lifespan in AD&D 2e, or D&D 3.X.
Bloodforge is a port of D&D 3.0 Bastards and Bloodlines, and copied even that book's aging tables.
Blink dogs in Pathfinder were given a lifespan of ~75 years, which is a departure from their undefined lifespan in D&D.
Halflings have longer lifespans than humans in both D&D 3.X and Pathfinder.
Thus, it makes no sense for the maximum possible age of a blinkling to be less than that of a blink dog or a halfling.

It makes sense if you think about them as an unstable hybrid. They might be genetically able to breed, but certain quirks that might not exist in either species might come to the forefront. It's the same reason why Ligers in real life (and Muls/Half-Dwarves in the Dark Sun setting) are larger and bulkier than either parent.

Unsworn Shaman seem really versatile. Being able to get Craft Wondrous item and Brew Potion on off-day without wasting actual feat slot. Can switch to any metamagic they want on daily basis.
And by RAW, they get 14 Hex naturally without any feat investment.

>>47884990

>>47884861
Low Charisma doesn't mean you're not cute.
A mob boss can be ugly as hell but still super charismatic. Low CHA just mean you spill spagetthi often.
>>47885015
It means you can't be trusted to dress yourself though, otherwise Int would be the skill for Disguise.
>>47885028

>>47884990
Awful
One villager changed and vanished during the night, the party chased it until eventually they corned it in a root cellar.
After killing it they all agreed that it probably bit more villagers, and the best course of action was to slaughter the entire town. So they did.
>>47884990
It was utterly nonsensical. The Kitsune got hit by lycantrophy from a werefox.
Granted it was a silly campaign involving a ghost merchant caravan, the cave of wanting (nobody wanted to enter despite the DM's insistence), the hobgoblin miracle worker who makes crappy miracles, and the giant who plays bagpipes.
>>47885028
Disguise is also use for acting / pretending not to be out of place.

Hooray for starting with over 10K gp at level 4 while having a plus 12 to hit and doing 1d8+6 twice a round
But why did Gareth do blinklings instead of one of the other Bastards and Bloodlines races?
Does Gareth like dog bestiality?
>>47885179
Blinklings, obviously.
>>47885252
iirc they had art for it and he had to use said art.
>>47885091
Which is a complete overlap with Bluff. Disguise as a skill use happens before the fact, even if it's only tested at the moment people see it.
>>47885206
Follow-up question: Does Wordstrike require an attack roll, a save, or is it auto-hit?
>>47885151
You could probably just ask. You bring us tons of shit, I'm sure some drawfag around here would make a proper sylph of you in thanks.
>>47885310
Word Strike is auto-hit.

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/other-rules/social-conflicts#TOC-Disguise
> Disguise Is More Than Visual: Though the skill focuses on the visual aspects of disguise that a character prepares, later rules (such as the vocal alteration spell) have made it clear that there are other aspects, including voice, mannerisms, and phrasing. The trick is to distinguish between the use of the Bluff and the Disguise skills. Generally, Bluff checks cover telling actual lies to support a disguise, whereas Disguise checks cover the other aspects, such as imitating mannerisms and speech.

> Change the text of weird words to the following “At 6th level the bard can start a performance that is always a standard action to speak up to one word per 4 bard levels laden with sonic energy. Each word deals 4d6 points of sonic damage as a ranged touch attack with a range of 30 feet. The bard adds his charisma modifier on damage rolls with weird words. Multiple words that strike the same target stack into a single powerful attack, applying energy resistance and bonuses on damage rolls only once. The bard can target all words at the same or different targets, but he unleashes all words simultaneously. Each word costs 1 round of bardic performance.” This change will be reflected in future errata.

All the answers.
I am gonna come out and say it. I don't like Gestalt. I am unsure why so many people are obsessed with it and what they think it really adds to the game. It gives many characters far too broad of a skill set and, in my eyes, often does not allow for separate characters to shine in their specializations as too many people can do the same things causing overlap. I don't know, that may just be me, but the only time I ever consider it is for groups so small they need more bases covered.
>>47884900
Hey QANON, do you take requests?
>>47885829
Cuckold the players as hard as you can using the fossegrim.
>>47885938
Yeah, in theory it's for making semi-viable concepts actually viable but 90% of the time I see it getting used to cram yet more cheese into a functional character.
>>47885829
Homebrew the shit out of it. There are a lots of empty boring hex and the campaign has a lot of hex crawl...
So turn those empty hex into a meaningful one. Also read through all 6 books and leaving clue to foreshadow the BBEG a bit early. The only clue the game give you is a dead unicorn in book 2 (at that point, most player can't even succeed to knowledge check to learn about BBEG).

My players invaded a small cult of Lamashtu, turned the worshipers against the cult's leader, KO'd him, and plan to sacrifice him to Lamashtu next session after a meet 'n greet with the cultists/their new minions.

Any of them, if you put ranks in Survival
>>47886244
Slayer.
>>47885869
Well, you're only getting the third one: we didn't give a shit.
Simple, really. When it came to the age and the height & weight tables, Matt sorta-kinda gave a shit, and I didn't give even the ghost of what, once, may have been a shit. I still find it amazing that literally anyone cares. As far as I know, Blinkling ages were retained from Bastards & Bloodlines because we didn't see a reason to change them and/or didn't realize Blink Dog ages but, mostly, because we didn't give a shit. We spent maybe twenty minutes on that entire section under the firm belief that in all of the RPG community we'd find maybe precisely three people with a flying fuck to give and, evidently, we were wrong. Our bad.
Justify it however you want, or change it. You clearly care more than we did.

Question for you guys. How do you find the quality of their books? I've had nothing but problems lately, from shoddy binding, to wrinkled pages, to books arriving that are falling apart.
>>47886270
Do you not remember how up-in-arms everyone was about the new Planetouched ages that Paizo errata'd in, therefore not only making several of their NPCs technically-dead based on their ages but killing plenty of concepts because "it's not cool to have 70-year-olds looking like young adults, please ignore the existence of elves"?

I kinda do. Work was...not as expected, due to an unexpected resignation, and I'm not really up for answering rules questions or giving the Blood Reaver review I'd offered earlier.
Plus that's honestly more the Steelforge team's thing. I'll pass it along.

Thanks anons, you're all a tremendous help. Hopefully I can live up to /pfg/'s expectations, or at least learn to improve from my fuckups. Gotta get to making that stat block and fleshing out the character so she isn't so dull. Maybe making the Stregone's Iconic will help also me figure out if the main class is actually able to be considered in a "completed" state.
Another question before I go crash for the night: Golarian is a shitheap and I know jack about other settings. Should I avoid having anything reliant on setting, or just grab my ass use and make shit up? I have some homebrew I made in case I ever needed to GM I could use.To drop a name: Darnell Caldwell
>>47886427
Ah, no worries man. Hope you feel better soon, and thanks for passing it along.
>>47886379
Not even their NPCs; they didn't errata the starting ages table, so RAW, Self-Taught and Trained classed planetouched begin the game dead of old age, and Intuitive classed ones are basically a coinflip.
>>47886453
I'd personally suggest avoiding setting-reliance /if/ you want to see the character used in a variety of games. However, you don't have the same obstacles as formal publishing (necessarily), so do as thou wilt as long as you do it well.
>>47886387
Because anyone can be a "bounty hunter" with those skill.
Ranger
Druid
Inquisitor
Fighter
Constable Cavalier
Hell even Gunslinger or mage specialize in Hold Person can be a bounty hunter
>>47886435
Nanite Draconic.
Blame everything on Nanomachine.
So, Living Legends. I'm trying to build one, but I'm a bit stuck on stats. Assuming 20 PB, what's the best way to distribute stats on one? At first I was tempted to go all in on Int and Focused Offense, but that only works while you're focused, which rules out a lot of the "expend focus to do something cool" bits. Would just going Dex and using Weapon Finesse work best? Or is a more balanced approach better?
>>47886511
Get a second focus. Expend one, maintain the other.
>>47886435
Is Crossblooded actually GOOD? I keep hearing about it for builds but it looks horrific - a SORCERER giving up a spell KNOWN of every level is a total disaster, isn't it? You don't get a new tier of spells until a full 2 levels after a wizard at that point.
Does anyone have good art for a Synthesist Summoner? I've been looking and I've found maybe one piece of it, period. Granted there's a lot of variety in what the Eidolon can look like, but still.
>>47886435
Dragon/Orc or Dragon/Infernal (with the Pit-Touched mutation to gain a scaling CON bonus) work very well.
>>47886548
Well, you can always just use appropriate looking things for your eidolon form.
>>47886548
Like this?
>>47886535
You still have spell slot. So after a certain level, it's actually alright, since you will be spamming metamagic low level spell (ie Intensified Empower Dazing Fireball) anyway.
>>47886548
>>47886562
Remember that a synth's eidolon is canonically a semitransparent shell with them floating inside
>>47886548
>Granted there's a lot of variety in what the Eidolon can look like
That's really the problem here. What kind of look are you going for?
>>47886571
Fuck I need to make a Rider class.
>>47886577
Remember that you can refluff mechanics however you want and you're a worthless faggot if you suggest otherwise.
>>47886577
Fucking nuts to that. If your GM runs with those rules he's ruining half the fun of the class.
>>47886453
It's okay to be related to setting but it's best to keep it 'generic' while doing so. You know, if you're from "tropical isles" there's plenty of those on Golarion, but if you said you're from Baldur's Gate you'd have a bit of a problem.
As for "something only they can do", personally that's why I would want the Warsoul iconic to use the heavy tech weapons: because no one else can just use a feat to materialize those as a Broken Blade(and every other) discipline weapon (you're totally barrel-bashing with unarmed) or even reliably use the autofire modes in the first place!
Likewise, think long and hard about how a Stregone gets-to or becomes what they are as opposed to a kineticist, or a wizard, or hell a druid or whatever.
What is it that makes that sliver of power grow into that, instead of a full sorcerer's path in life? IS there training involved? Certain bloodlines? something gone horribly wrong or right?
Or maybe, is it just what happens to people with a bit less of the right kind of imagination; their power manifesting their "when all you have is a hammer" to solving life's problems?
>>47886502
NANOMACHINES SON
honestly in my group's world we made Androids into an advanced version of a Haemonculus so Nanite bloodline would be a weird version of that
Mite b kewl
>>47886535
CrossBlooded is fucking godawful for a normal Sorc
It does however, have 2 niche uses.
#1
mixing draconic/orc or Primal/Orc or Primal/Draconic bloodlines give a sorc +2 damage per die on every spell they cast, for Blasters thats no joke.
#2 Dragon Disciples can advance both bloodlines by levelling up DD PrC via a loophole in taking the other bloodline's abilities and still getting them via DD. Annnd since you lost a few caster levels by picking up DD, bloodline spells will come in just at the same time or ahead of when you get a new level of spells
not ideal, but its good enough to work with.
>>47886560
I'm aware that they're both good, especially dragon/Orc
and dragon/abyssal
and dragon/inferal
But thats special snowflake shit, maybe i'll just say fuck it an stick solo draconic bloodline.
I kinda wanna do draconic/Aquatic. Raise the deeps underrated.
So, /tg/, i wanna have some fun with my druid.
I have access to Awaken, a boat, and a wizard.
Considering to make either an octopus (but would be impratical), something found casually (and thus boring) like a hummingbird, or the wizards dodo (familiar).
Technically the dodo would be the best, but i doubt he'd still be a familiar, while awoken.
Is there any particular animal who would do good?
>>47886589
>>47886590
I know that, but since he said he couldn't find art for the synth, I assumed he was running with that, which is impossible to find art for, instead of "become a monster", which is impossible NOT to find art for.
>>47886613
Animate Object
Awaken the boat.
>>47886577
I may have missed that part, honestly. I was thinking of something like pic related, which looks awesome but I have no idea how to find more of it.
>>47886613
It's a dodo, do what you can with it because it's not long for this world.
So I have put a lot of thought into how pathfinder siege tactics would work. Things like how one would need to build walls, how one needs to fortify a city, and more when a city has access to magic. I normally make cities in game with this in mind.
Players never seem to like it though, many down right dislike the magic defenses being different from medieval ones.
Anyone have the rest of the Legendary Games Kingmaker supplements? Only two of them are in the trove.
