At least for once nazimod is doing it for a good reason, but holy shit that's a lot of dumpstered posts.
Anyway, what's /pfg/'s favorite monster templates? I'm partial to that fey creature template an anon posted last thread personally.
>>47958045
the bloody template for skeletons. Has saved my necro so much money over the course of our adventures. Though the lich template is a classic.

>Blood discipline choice would be better off being between all disciplines. Its weird that Black Seraph and Silver Crane aren't on the list when they match with actual bloodrager bloodlines.
In my original draft, each bloodline had a specific blood discipline for it, however many peopleGareth includedthought that was a stupid idea and also made the class really hard to future-proof. And instead of Black Seraph and Silver Crane, I felt that Eternal Guardian and Cursed Razor were somewhat more conducive to the overall theme and were able to cover a wider variety of themes.
> Also I feel like this archetype barely trades anything.
The idea was to make the archetype as compatible as possible with already existing ones. Plus the base Bloodrager was already a pretty low T4 to begin with that took a while to come into its own, while the Blood Reaver is mostly a class that starts off good and stays at relatively same level across the levels.
Though I see what you mean. I was considering pulling out the Blood Discipline and have it gained at 4th level instead, but I'm unsure.
Also, your concern on Vitae is a viable one. What would you recommend it changed to?Hooray, I FINALLY got some critique! Thank you!

>47957581
>They may only perform maneuvers from this chosen discipline while in a either in a bloodrage (see below)
Fix yon grammar
Recovery sounds familiar. Please come up with something that isn't the barbarian's recovery.
Blood discipline choice would be better off being between all disciplines. Its weird that Black Seraph and Silver Crane aren't on the list when they match with actual bloodrager bloodlines.
Also I feel like this archetype barely trades anything. They lose a 4th level feature for initiating at 1st. Vitae give them an additional damage and accuracy boost that they do not need. I recommend finding a new buff for vitae to grant and make the archetype make actual trades.
>>47958115
>>47958128
Oh hey man. I was saying just let them pick their blood discipline from all disciplines. No list.
And for vitae, perhaps have it grant T. HP that refreshes by round? Like 1 or 2 per vitae?
>>47958171
>And for vitae, perhaps have it grant T. HP that refreshes by round? Like 1 or 2 per vitae?
That was kinda in my original draft. Gareth said it was kinda stupid, especially since it would take too long/not really be useful.
As for selecting from all the disciplines, well doesn't that seem a bit much?
>>47958225
The Myrmidon can pick from almost all of them. Same with the Warpath. Considering how strong the Warpath is, I doubt you have much to worry.
The T. HP would take a while to build up, but at the same time it feels hard to justify even more damage.
>>47958250
>>47958225
The brawler also picks theirs (even better than the myrmidon actually, though they don't get the amazing grit abilities).
>>47958250
>The Myrmidon can pick from almost all of them
Lets compromise. Let's just make it all the SU disciplines (except Solar Wind) since its based off of your sorcerers blood and it would make no sense for your bloodline to grant you piercing thunder maneuvers.
Also debated about whether or not to allow Mithril Current. Doesn't seem to be too thematically appropriate
>>47958464
Good point.
How come everybody and their mom except the lich gets stuff to control undead? Death knight has command undead for FREE plus a whole bunch of other shit that makes the lich look tame as hell.
>>47957766
What's a blinkling?
>>47958585
I don't think vampires get to control undead either, aside from their spawn. Makes the whole "Lord of the Night" bit hard to pull off unless they're also a caster.
>>47958585
I think it is assumed a lich has class levels that already let them do that.
>>47958585
Because if someone becomes a lich, they almost certainly either already have the stuff to control undead or don't particularly care for it.
So, I've have come to the conclusion that I enjoy watching players agonize over decisions. Give them situations designed so that any choice is a wrong one, and the act of choose only allows them to steer the direction of the pain, and the worse decision is merely a matter of perspective.
Last session I gave the party an easy choice. Their belongings, or the life of a beloved NPC. They chose the NPC. They were unfortunately then dumped into the wild with literally nothing, bare naked. They didn't have good enough survival to feed everyone, the already injured NPC worsened, and they were barely able to keep him alive when they got back to civilization.
Next I think I'll make them play Russian roulette, and have to choose who goes first.
>>47958659
>>47958652
Thats fine and dandy but shouldnt they have something since liches are always portrayed as having mastery over undead?
>>47959432
Yes, 11 levels as a wizard, sorcerer or cleric
>>47959432
not really they are portrayed as masters over the undead simply due to the nature of in order to become one they generally need mastery of making undead. If you make them it helps to have mastery over controlling them.
>>47957814
I like it
>>47959376
You ever played a game called LISA? Because that exact shit happens in that game.
>>47959376
Actually that's retarded.
If any choice is the wrong one, that's "lol you fall" levels of writing.
What's strongest is when every choice is right for some, but wrong for others.
>>47959534
Yes I have. I enjoyed it a great deal.
>>47959571
There was a decision right for some, the party chose the one right for them.
How do I play a teen-aged character with 20 Wis but only 8 Int?
>>47959825
Why would you want to?
>>47959825
Doesn't have book learning, but can read people and is aware of the things around him. Good at taking care of himself, self sufficient.
>>47959873
Because Warpriest and I think the prospect of a kid that isn't that smart but is a fucking sage
Is your race worth a whole level? Like would someone with no racial features whatsoever be balanced if they get to have an additional class level?
>>47959951
Warpriests really don't need 20 Wis. Strength is much more important unless you're running your whole build off of the Guided weapon enhancement.
>>47959969
depends on the race and the class.
>>47960050
Under the default PF assumption where we pretend that all races and all classes are equal.
>>47960048
This.
WP is perfectly servicable with 14 WIS. You are not there to cast spells, you are there to smack shit in the face.
You probably want 16, still, but you can get by with 14 easy.
My character has just come into possessing approximately 50,000 gp, only issue is I can only spend it on real estate.
What are some swanky buildings I should buy to establish myself as a billionaire philanthropist playboy?
>>47960074
well in this alternative reality no a class level is not worth racial bonuses. +2 to two stat -2 to one you don't need and bonus skill points and all kinds of goodies are better than a lot of the bonuses from a single class level.
>>47960074
Well they aren't, so the question doesn't really work.
>>47960113
build a dock and charge fees on all transactions (smaller than the other companies fees). Then use that money to open a bank giving out loans on decent interest. Use the profits to buy hookers and to be a true billionaire playboy.
>>47960121
All of Pathfinder content pretends this assumption is true, they still go on making it anyway.
>>47960169
Well what else would they do? The CRB is the core of pathfinder, obviously the rest of the game should be built around its powerlevels

Look up the Necromantic feats in that
>>47960484
Yep.
A gold-clad sorcerer lich is a fun thought, no?
Still, that -6 dex and -2 wis can sting.
Silver's a bit more practical. Only a +4 Cha, but a +2 wis bonus instead of a penalty, and only a -2 to dex. The AC bonus is also 8 instead of 2.
It can also reflect Gaze attacks due to how FUCKING SHINY AND SPLENDID YOU ARE.
But yeah. Metal Clad. Personal fave.
>>47960621
Is there a set way to become metal clad? Such as needing craft wounderous items or something similar? I see some examples but my gm is probably going to want an examples of how to do it/prerequisites before being able to do it. Or is just another "you and the gm work it out situation"?

>parents tried to have you aborted
>they couldn't even do that right
>your intellectual growth and potential for intelligence never stood a fucking chance
>>47960904
That happens more often than you think... and given some of the rape cases we've seen over the years across the world, 8 years older very well *could* be your biological mother.
Very often such children are raised as younger siblings, because fuck if a 7 year old kid can raise a child in this day and age.
>>47960930
The youngest mother in the world was around 5-6.
>>47960826
The thing to remember about Evil characters is that they are, primarily, characters first and alignments second. Even Antipaladins and Evil Clerics have stories that aren't necessarily connected to their alignment.
A Chaotic Evil barbarian, for instance, can still have a rich and deep history in the tales of heroism and martial skill, and be very protective of those that he considers his allies or tribal members. A mercenary that has compunctions and standards can still be NE or even CE, so long as she is self-centered and cruel.
In the Land of the Linnorm Kings game one of the PCs is actually a Chaotic Evil fighter simply because what counts as "the proper viking way to do things" includes such delights as pillaging, the murder of non-nordics, robbery of religious treasures, and blood-eagles or wickermen. They also just happen to include protecting your raiding-partners, family honor, truthfulness, fair trading deals, and slaying evil dragons.
>>47960938
5.
And yeah, that was my point.
>>47960930
Im shocked a 7 year old could survive child birth honestly.
>>47960944
the Chaotic Evil fighter probably actually is NOT a good viking. He's quick to go back on his word.
If he were neutral or lawful, he would view these codes - even if against the law of wherever he regularly raids - as important aspects of his life. But as a Chaotic Evil character, "the proper viking way to do things" is nothing more than an excuse at best, or what he says to someone calling him on theft or betrayals of his own people to get them to bring down the axe long enough for him to stab them through the back.

>>47961649
Why the fuck would that happen?
if a Celestial and a Fiend mate, what happens?
Would the result change depending on what types they were? Would an Angel/Daemon spawn be different from an Agathion/Qlippoth spawn?

>>47961754
Annihilation reactions aside?
Regular, powerless humanoids.
Or damaged mutants. The "my superpower is being purple and having cancer" kind, not the x-men kind.
So I'm building a 5th level gestalt Mesmerist/Heavens oracle to color spray all the things.
DM is allowing 1pp only.
I'm going with Reptoid for the race and focusing on control.
I'm thinking heavy armor prof and combat casting for my feats (can't color spray from the back)
He's a Reptoid who is convinced that there is a better way to get what his race needs than secret infiltration and running the shadow government.
He wants the coordinates of a world with abundant natural resources and no sapient species to exploit, and will receive this as a post game reward.
25 point buy so I'm thinking
Str 13
Dex 12
Con 12
Int 10
Wis 10

>Adoration (Su): As an immediate action, you can attempt to thwart a melee or ranged attack that targets you. This ability functions as sanctuary, but only against one individual attack. You must use the ability after the attack is declared but before the roll is made. The creature attacking you receives a Will save to negate this effect. If a creature has more than one attack, this ability only affects one of the attacks. You can use the ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier. This is a mind-affecting effect.
>TL;DR You can negate attacks if an attacker fails their Will save
I have 20 Wisdom, I can do this for basically every attack for an entire day
>>47961920
Well, once per round only, at the cost of your swift.
>>47961830
I am currently playing a really complicated character in gestalt. I want to play a much simpler one because the rules arguments are making me angry.
>>47961920
One attack, one/round. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but against more than one attacker, a full attack, a pouncer, a monster with lots of attacks, it will not be sufficient protection on its own.
>>47961920
You can do it 1/round for one attack against you, up to 3+Wis times per day.
It's shit.
How do I living legend efficiently, /pfg/?
>>47961999
Early game, that shit will keep you alive.
>>47961938
It's still very good, so long as there's no immediately more important use of said swift
>>47961986
Yes, that alone is good at keeping me from getting facefucked by bosses, but you're right, 2 attacks counter it
>>47961863
Right and wrong can be rewritten by wizards, anon. Wizards are always right, retroactively if need be.

>>47962132
depends on the roles you want. pick those first and then you can optimize.
the other role abilities will mostly just be situational and rare utility; you mostly build around two choices.

>Traits are supposed to be half a feat in terms of power. These are arguably better than actual feats that exist, and they're supposed to be traits? You can get both of those as a single feat with Additional Traits.
Please see this:
>I mean, there are a lot of traits that are better than feats because... reasons? Paizo fucked that up from the get-go.
And this:
>Even fucking feats aren't worth a feat 90% of the time.
Feats aren't equivalently built at all, some shouldn't even have been feats in the first place but options (proficiencies) some classes should've started play with.
Pathfinder has quite a problem with feat taxes, either being undesirable feats or too bland
Traits too aren't all equal, some give ridiculous benefits while others aren't even worth taking.
Also, have you looked at Clever Wordplay, Bruising Intellect because those traits are literally a word swap with Strength instead of Intelligence.
They allow wizards and arcanists and other Int casting classes to dump everything but Int to also be good at being a party face
>>47962351
I thought you just said you want a forge to place in your weapon and imagination took over. I don't care about your real question anymore.

Why not using actual Sanctuary effect?
> Diplomatic Immunity (Su): A dragon herald can use bardic performance to generate a sanctuary effect upon herself. Most use this to deliver the word of their patron or to safely complete Diplomacy or Intimidate checks in the presence of hostile foes. The effect persists for as long as the dragon herald performs and for 1 round after.
with 20 CHA and Lingering Performance, you could keep this up for a long time. Enough to actually use Diplomacy in combat.

A Forge includes a hearth, an anvil, a slack tub, metalworking tools, and other appropriate materials for shaping iron and other metals. A Forge counts as artisan's tools for up to three people working on metalworking skills such as Craft (armor) and Craft (weapons).

But I want to pin people to walls with the swords, then pull them out and throw them again.

So, if one were to create a xenomorph template, what would the anons of /pfg/ recommend it gain?
Thinking something along the lines of +2 CR, type changes to aberration, claws, bite, some Nat AC and acid blood. Calculate based on racial HD with a minimum of 2 HD. They're tough but not super tough, more about ambushes (drones) or sheer numbers (warriors). Just not sure what stat adjustments to give them. Maybe a slight difference based on caste, and then have Praetorians, Queens and the bigger stuff as their own stat blocks or at least a much upgraded template.
>>47963126
>They fly now.
GOD DAMMIT WEYLAND!
>>47963022
No. They still have luck, resistance and other stuff to increase their save.
Do most anons agree a lot of the feats aren't worth it and should have been condensed or rewritten? Or is that only a few anons who think like that?

>stregone and 2hu
I had an idea for a knack the other day, but I'm not sure how to implement it.
The basic idea was a floating 'familiar' dealio (maybe route it through getting a familiar in the first place) that you could either channel attacks through (to extend your range, attack from odd angles, ranged flank with yourself, crossfire, etc.) or just counted as an extra 'hand' to multiattack with.
Probably a whole tree there.
I remember Dread Necros got the one shitty touch-range-extender hand for free, thinking similar here.
>>47963270
Regardless of /pfg/'s opinion on the matter, a core-only fighter is capable of contributing to the efforts of the average optimization party that most adventures expect
>>47963303
core only fighter is probably t5 down with the rogue and shit
But core only is garbage
>>47963218
Lore Warden Drill Sergeant or Lore Warden Martial Master can do the job, although Pack Mule with full access to Advanced Weapon Training can still pull their weight if necessary.
>>47963213
Well it's solid fact that many feats are trap options.
At a minimum by virtue of having one less feat slot left, you are quite literally a worse character by taking "Monkey Lunge" than you would be if you did not take it. You are even worse if you try using it!
So there are feats that make you worse than you were.
There are feats that are not gonna help much, basically a wash, and definitely not worth it. Most of the time, these are prerequisites to better feats.
There are feats that are decent for some builds, and not for others. The majority probably lie here and in the previous "not worth it for anyone really" listing
There are feats that are good. They may not be of use to some builds, and great to others. Makes sense.
And then there are gamechangers like metamagic feats, natural spell, and other crazy shit.
Vital Strike for example is in the "not worth it" category and should have been rewritten.
Anything that requires specific, specialized 3pp builds to even make work (like how Vital Strike can be okay on a 24d8 weapon, but you'd still be happier with multiple attacks) tends to be "not worth it". It doesn't mean you can't MAKE it work, but you could do better a different way
Guys i cast charm monster on a T-rex and it worked
What do i do

Rub its belly so it's still your friend when the spell wears off
>>47963297
Like certain Force units; either redirecting your attacks through it, changing it (from single blast to cone) on hit, making it a chaining point, or even just copying what you do, giving you twice as many?
Certainly "use it to aim around corners; its LoS is your LoS" would be a start

Hey /pfg/. I'm currently converting some planar PC races from 3.x books. I currently have a dilemma stemming from the bizarre way the rules define creature types. Is an extraplanar race, which breathes and eats and sleeps like any mortal race, considered a humanoid (and so forth) with the extraplanar or an outsider with the extraplanar and native subtypes?
>>47963373

I hear they like that

Thanks for your critique
Goddamn that is so very disappointing though, what the fuck were they thinking?
If im a sorc and i pick up a bloodline from eldritch heritage does robe of arcane heritage boost both bloodlines or just one?

Doesn't Pack Mule get 4+INT skill point too?
>>47963647
Yep.
>>47963576
Ivory tower design at its worst.
Many feats, classes, abilities and equipment are *by design* meant to punish someone who wants to build certain concepts (keep in mind the devs view certain things as "wrong", from not having rape in your backstory to wanting to be not-trans to having a male ruler to "all slavery is always evil forever no matter what unless it's an empire of black women enslaving white men because men is rapepenis bads") or certain types of character or weapon users.
You are SUPPOSED to accept that despite a level based system fullcasters are superior to martials, for example.
>>47963389
Was figuring a tree, starting with
>Have a floaty ball of light that you can direct some or all of your attacks through, and see from its space, close range, middling fly speed
and going to
>Longer range, maybe get more, ranged flank dudes with yourself, have all around vision as long as one's watching your back, bonus attacks using them
All the way to
>Ranged multiattack, they're each an extra stregone 'hand', they get a free attack whenever they're blowed up by an attack
Thinking something like a more durable Spectral Hand, maybe 10 HP and some of your defenses instead of nonscaling crap.
Would make for obnoxious boss fights with a little cover.
>>47963392
Make a judgement call, you're the one converting it. I'd say yes for some and no for others.
>>47963343
Is Drill Seregeant still worth it now? Fighter can get Solo Tactic via Advanced Weapon Training, right?
>>47962361
Adding to this, campaign traits are typically more powerful than other traits and are certainly closer to full feats.
>>47963766
>>47963766
Derp, forgot image.
Like this bitch, or R-Type Options, as it were.
>>47963861
R-Type had Forces: ship gets just one, but it can block shots for you and is great in melee. There's also Bits, which are just tiny gun satellites that are notably NOT an embryo.
T-301s and other ships in the Gradius setting have 'Multiples', AKA "Options"
>>47963939
It's been a decade since I've touched a side scrolling shooter, I'll be off committing sudoku.
I had to do some deep brain cleaning to remember they were called options in the first place.
Anyway, THOSE THINGIES YES.
>>47963939
Why is ball of light good at melee?
>>47964020
Well, R-type Forces aren't just balls of light.
>>47963297
Actually, if you look through the archetypes I sort of have a version of this in mind, though instead of sharing your bolts, you're totally handing them off to your "soulbound doll companion". I'll have to take a look at your idea though.
Which AP is the least combat focused
>>47963723
Well, this definitely needs to be remedied, holy shit that's insane, ideally there should be no right or wrong of building a character
>>47964100
None. All APs have combat aplenty.
>>47964147
Did you accidentally a word?
>>47963502
Fucking Carl, no more orphans!
>>47964020
It's actually the embryo of a man-made future-weapon designed to mercilessly consume eldritch horrors (and everything else they touch), corrupting them into more of itself. They're genetically engineered using a combination of psi-tech and black magic, to help ensure any positive emotion to be flatly impossible in them in the future.
We flushed the deathstar we filled with them down a dimensional sinkhole when they woke up early (before IFF was added in to them) and they kinda took over where we made them and started spilling out into the past.
It's actually quite sad.
Has anyone used Shining Children in their games?
Those things are fucking terrifying
>>47964100
Bro, we're playing Pathfinder. The game is combat focused
>>47964202
I never realized those games were 40k levels of "humanity done fucked themselves"
>>47964426
It gets worse, one of the games, I forget which, has a little ship fly past you in the background of the first level.It's you from the future, corrupted and become one of them. You're going back to destroy everything you ever knew.
>>47964466
I sort of remember that. You get to the "last" level and the background has silhouettes of two people fucking, then suddenly you're in a bioship fighting your old self, right?
So.
Could a 9 Maneuver 9 Spell using base class be Tier 2?
>>47964602
Depends, is it prepared or spontaneous casting?
>>47964466
And in Stage F-B, you BECOME that ship after taking a wrong turn and touching a bit of pollen from a boss (that's all) and proceed to wipe out multiple squadrons of what used to be friendlies, leading to the colony crash you will go investigate in the past from now.
They're all over the 26th dimension, which is basically the extradimensional highway between things like reality and "the astral plane", and there's even some to be found in the non-reality 2d information-only nothingness beyond our multiverse.
Our alternate future created them after crossing several godzilla thresholds when some of them got lost in time after wiping out a human fleet and many other things in some temporal wormhole.
Given what those thing do just BEING there (or being thought about/at without appropriate shielding), making those was pretty much an appropriate response... but, well... ya know.
Sup
>>47964686
>>47964508
Different endings.
F-A is the one with two people fucking. You enter the Bydo home dimension's core, infect it with your force and overload your wave cannon to finish it (and yourself) off. Well, this war anyways, but a very major blow for once.
F-B involves taking a wrong turn in d26; you destroy some waveguides on the "Fine-Motion" Bloom Cruiser and its destruction lands you in close proximity to a Nomemayer (stage 6.1), where you get converted.
F-C is a one-way trip (no spare lives or continues) if you make it through anti-space after blowing up a different set of generators on the Fine-Motion. Go the the 26th century, convince them not to do something very very dumb.
It's implied that doesn't work out too well.
>>47964654

>>47964946
start 4pm EST on saturdays play till about 10-11, we're gonna play Hell's Vengeance adapted to our own personal little setting next.
Like i said this is like 2 months off but throwin it out there.
>>47964971
>Like i said this is like 2 months off but throwin it out there.
Thanks for throwing it out there, man, I really do appreciate it. The 4 PM start time might be a bitch, but I'm curious to hear more aboutthe current party make-up and character creation.
>>47964933
Ehh maybe I didn't explain the evil far enough. The character also runs a no-limits underground brothel for corrupt nobles to get their rocks off on whatever fucked up shit they're into.
Pedo stuff, animals, torture, snuff, etc..
>>47965044
we're playing gestalt because our numbers are slim but if we get more normal its back to single classed chars.
The party is mostly only comfortable w/ Paizo material so no DSP stuff
Other than that 25pb
Right now its looking like there's going to be a necromancer Oracle and a Alchemist
>>47965061
lmao so edgy XP
>>47965096
But I don't play it as an edge lord. Thats the point.
>>47965096
How is it edgy to run a brothel where literally nothing's off limits? That's going to attractive quite the market.
>>47965095
Why not do tiered gestalt??
>>47965121
whats tiered gestalt
So all my recent characters have been terrorists. Different kind of terrorists, but all one in some form for the last 5 or so games.
Anyone else ever play a terrorist? Did your plots come to fruition?
>>47965117
Agreed, at MOST that's jewy, but not edgy.
>>47964956
Where'd that T-rex come from? Do you have the token saved? I think I could get use out of it.
>>47965132
>Anyone else ever play a terrorist? Did your plots come to fruition?
I once played a Taldan radical that procured an Extinction Wave Device from Numeria for the express purpose of using it on Katheer.
>>47965128
Tiered gestalt- T3 and T6 classes can go together, T4 can go with T5 or T6 if you want to for whatever reason.
>>47965175
eh. Honestly i almost don't care
We're pretty good at making sure everyone feels useful.
>>47965132
Any use or threat of violence against non-military for the sake of causing an alteration in a government or civilization's ideals, politics or laws is terrorism.
Given that technically, even going on TV and telling people "we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud" is in fact terrorism, the overwhelming majority of PCs are terrorists.
>>47965153
Here you go famalam I realize I should have worked the chin as well to make the pop out effect more apparent, but I didnt save the PSD and couldnt be bothered to start over.
>>47965167
What the fuck is an Extinction Wave Device and how can I mass produce them?
>>47965221
It's a neutron bomb. Doesn't damage objects, but kills creatures in a mile radius. It's also a technological artifact.
>>47965221
>An extinction wave device is a devastating and ruinous weapon indeed. When activated by a remote detonator, this bomb explodes in a spherical wash of reality-warping radiation, killing virtually all living creatures with an Intelligence score in a 1-mile radius, while leaving structures and simple life forms intact. Affected creatures must attempt a DC 35 Will saving throw to avoid instant death; success results in 10d8 points of damage instead. Unlike signals, an extinction wave is not hampered by most solid barriers and other materials, but force barriers with 25 or more hit points and metals alloyed with djezet block it. An extinction wave is a mind-affecting death effect.
>These statistics are for an extinction wave device designed to target command and control centers. Smaller and larger extinction wave devices exist. For example, a portable wave extinction device delivers a 1,000-foot-radius effect and weighs 50 pounds.
They're basically neutron bombs.
>>47965247
>will save
???
>>47965298
It means using it in Kintargo would be devastatingly effective.
>>47965221
Don't bother it's worthless, easy to save against, does very little. If you can deploy that, you can just KILL all the villagers in a few miles with your fucking bare hands not that much more slowly.
So, after my most recent session, tell me /pfg/ about times the dice absolutely wanted your party dead.
So, my example. DM wanted us to do Mummy's Mask. Party figured we would indulge and make a bunch of cool themed desert characters. Make it through book 1 with 1 party death and getting to level 4. Book 2 starts, at the end of the first combat (with a ton of zombies, hands, a GIANT zombie hand, and a Spellscribed Mummy).
3 of the 4 of our party was downed and having to make death saves, my Bloodrager was the last left alive (my replacement for my Paladin who was killed in book 1 when she was crit in the mouth) against the caster mummy. I manage to land a max damage crit with an Earthbreaker for 60 damage.
The fucking Mummy had 61 HP total.
Thanks to Mirror Image my Bloodrager is KO'd and due to plot fiat from the book the mummy is killed and we are all revived thanks to a fucking psychopomp bird.
We managed to hit level 5 from the encounter overall for slaying everything else, but still we effectively were wiped. Thinking of either getting us to do Wrath or just a homebrew campaign.
>>47965376
>Don't bother it's worthless
Unless you want to kill thousands of people without getting detected.
>>47965214
Sweet, thanks.
>>47965384
Every other session of the LotLK game.
>>47965247
>Technological Artifact
>Mind-Affecting Effect
>Death Effect
>The 1-mile model is massive
>Portable ones have just a 1000ft radius
>>47965434
The vast majority of people aren't immune to mind-affecting effects.
The Wave Extinction Device is a terror weapon and strategic asset.
>>47965376
>DC 35 is easy
For mid-level PCs.
It kills basically all civilians, since most can't even take the 10d8 after a natural 20 save.
>>47965376
>Will 35 or instant death
>Useless
>>47965429
Not tomorrow though! Tomorrow we're setting sail for the Inner Sea and Taldor!
Who knows what fun we'll have on our journey? We can raid one more place before our coffers are full, we need to make it count!
>>47965479
Even for high-level PCs, DC 35 is a doozy.
>>47965376
Anon, do you even understand how this item is supposed to work?
It's not meant to take out a band of optimized adventurers, it's meant to wipe out cities.
>>47965376
While you're wrong about it being useless - though it certainly won't work against mid-level adventurers or the things adventurers would fight, it certainly works against the things they'd want to protect...
Despite that, I will admit that as a one-shot *artifact*, even 'technological artifact' that's a really bad deal
>>47965513
>+20 Save
>Have to roll 15 or higher to pass
>>47965578
What point are you trying to make here?
>>47965578
Well you'll have +12 from class levels, another +13 from having 36 wisdom, +8 for having charisma to saves, +5 from resistance, +2 from iron will, another +4 for sucking the gm's dick. Totes easy.
>>47965578
That's still a pretty high roll to make.
>>47965562
>DC 35
>NOT WORKING AGAINST MID LEVEL PC
Let me see my Paladin is level 10 annnd
I have a +13 will save
That thing would kill me even if i rolled a 20.
