Pathfinder General /pfg/

Have you ever indulged a Magical Realm before? How did it go? Was it in an ERP campaign or no?

Well, I'm running a lewd/ERP game now and so far most of it has gone well, aside from an incident with one player who joined knowing it was but then ragequit over the ERP. Otherwise we're all having fun... though sexual bets with a moth demon are going to have some burgeoning consequences.

I quit the group under the pretense of "schedule issues" because the GM was getting salty about my Psions damage and wanted me to remake the character as an Occult Kineticist and I wanted to leave on good terms and not a rules argument.

As I pointed out last thread, positive and negative energy are treated in two mutually incompatible ways. They each make up the life-force of different forms of life, a la fire and water elementals. Negative energy powers diseases, undead, sceaduinar, dhampir and so forth. (Yes, diseases are powered by negative because healing spells cure them and necromancy and certain undead cause/carry diseases.) However, certain undead feed on living creatures even though this makes as much sense as fire vampires feeding on water elementals. Either negative and positive energy cancel out or negative energy consumes positive energy, but you can't have both. The only explanation I've been given so far is that positive/negative energy is not the same as the life-force it composes, which is flat out nonsensical.

But the existence of Fullcasters, magic items, literal angels and demons of all CRs, planar teleportation stuff, statable demigods, people being cosmically powered by the literal forces of good and justice, known magic items and class features for both detecting and hiding the good and evil in the hearts of men, and the ability for any decently equipped PC to break mountains with their face or rewrite the world are.

>>48044792
>(Yes, diseases are powered by negative because healing spells cure them and necromancy and certain undead cause/carry diseases.)
I always figured that what the healing spells did was supercharge the recipient's immune system and natural regeneration rate to allow them to expel the disease, kinda like Healing from WoT, whereas the "diseases" created by negative energy weren't literal diseases, but rather small festers of negative energy that impair the natural life processes and thus emulate a disease via its symptoms.

Then again I could be reading too much into a magic system that Paizo evidently didn't put any real thought into.

Undead causing/carrying diseases doesn't necessarily make them a negative energy phenomenon. You also have to keep in mind that diseases like ghoul fever and mummy rot are more curses than anything else.

Positive energy is self-sustaining; it grows, builds, changes. Cancer is a form of toxic positive energy. Negative energy is entropic; it destroys, consumes, silences. Negative energy beings such as undead are a drain on the environment or living things around them; they 'feed' on scraps of what they destroy, sustaining themselves with the leftovers.

Living things are not sustained by positive energy the way undead are by negative energy. For your average living creature, the greatest concentration of positive energy is its soul. The remainder is Material matter, which is influenced by the nuanced application of positive energy (i.e. cure spells).

You're seeing living beings and undead as equivalent and opposite, which is where you're getting it wrong.

Yeah, I'm running an ERP campaign right now. This coming weekend will be our fourth session, and things are going pretty well so far. A little slow (not on account of the ERP, as that's been either done quickly or between sessions whenever it comes up, but just because it's an online text-based game), but pretty enjoyable so far. Because it's a custom campaign, the slow pace works to my advantage and keeps me from being overwhelmed with the amount of work I need to do between sessions. I really like my players, most of them I've done Pathfinder with before so I know they're quality players (and our kinks all line up pretty nicely for the most part).

The premise so far is that a group of five tieflings have been called together in Iobaria by dream visions to serve as heralds and champions of Lamashtu. Their first act involved taking over a Lamashtan cult that had been led astray by a false prophet, and now they're looking for a suitable defensible place to relocate their new cult to before starting a war with some druidic worshipers of an ancient Cyclops god.

The current party includes a male cleric, male bloodrager, female warder, female sorcerer, and female bard (all tieflings, as I mentioned before, and most of demonic heritage because I allowed them to refluff any of the tiefling heritages as demonic).

>>48044929
The problem is that the rules are not structured according to that logic. Contagion is a necromancy spell. Cure disease is a conjuration spell. The same effects are used to heal living and harm undead. You can't have undead draining life from the living and being harmed by healing energy at the same time yet expect logical self-consistency. The entire idea of "revive kills zombie" originates from Gygax's own autism, and even he stated that mummies are powered by positive energy because they generate disease.

Contagion is necromancy for the same reason that deathwatch is evil; because sometimes, the developers make stupid mistakes that become legacy content. The ancestral fluff is a mess and the current fluff that inherits it is likewise a mess, and at some point you have to draw a line about what you're incorporating into your worldbuilding and what you ain't.

For fuck's sake, I remember when healing was necromancy. That shit made sense.

Our GM indulged us when he thought something was fucking awesome, but even dumb tongue in cheek things like "I put my Big Black Cock (Rooster Familiar) down the Dark Hole" ended in a messy, Gygaxian fashion.

In fairness the Wizard knew nothing good was going to happen when he did it, I mean, he was totally framing a situation.

Things could have gotten weirder than they did at several points earlier, but we wisely declined the opportunities.

>1/?
You have the Louphi and Jakrir, a race that resembles a cross between a snake and a canid, with Louphi normally resembling garter/wolf while the Jakrir are more akin to cobra/jackal. Overall features include a flat “shovel faced” snout, reptilian eyes, course fur along the dorsal side of their body with a thicker matte along their spine, ovoidal scaled neck, chest and abdominal area, and plantigrade feat with four clawed toes. Hands also have four fingers. They also possess a long serpentine tail. Males tend to be broader shouldered, with thicker fur along the shoulders and encroaching along the edges of the chest, while females tend to be wider hipped and possess longer tails. Despite their squamatic appearance, the races could be considered mammalian for they possess two mammary glands and give live birth, though they do not express permanent boobs like humans, and their glands are inguinal rather than pectoral.

The two races split ages ago after a massive civil war, with the Jakrir fleeing off to settle the deserts and wastelands, while the Louphi live near strictly in forested areas.

Louphi live regimented and orderly lives, dedicated to the pursuit of personal skill and wisdom for the good of thier tribes, and strictly follow the guidelines of their founding prophet, which includes ethical guides, tribal organization, population and breeding restrictions, and Exodus imperatives. Due to both their culture and slow predatory metabolism, Louphi are slow to make and commit to a decision and will often spend much time discussing and considering their options, before shifting all of their energy and focus into a singular task with predatory tenacity. A Louphi hunting party in motion is like watching a stream of fanged lightening come down from all sides.

In a Louphi tribe, everyone is expected to find a place, and every gender has a role to play. Most men are generally expected to become Hunters, sentries, and scouts, as well as artisans in charge of tool maintenance. Further, it is most often Men who are expected to become the tribal Sages and Sage Walkers, who are responsible for seeing to the magical, spiritual, and genealogical needs of the tribe, and to enforce the Pact of Oaths, the Holy doctrine to which all Louphi must ascribe to.

Females, meanwhile, often fulfill the majority of artisan and agrarian roles, as well as form the Matron Societies that are in charge of the internal politics, planning, and organization of the tribe. While these societies and councils are not allowed to make their own decisions on mystical manners, they can appoint village representatives, huntsmasters, reallocate resources, determine growing patterns of plants, and see to and focus on the physical needs of the tribe.

The Jakrir meanwhile, due to years of corruption and directed eugenics by their aberrant patrons, live maddening and reckless lives, constantly craving new and higher levels of stimuli and depravity. They form grand and blasphemous cities and are led by the mad priests of their Elder God, who advise and direct them to constantly seek greater depths of ambition and insanity. Luckily, or unluckily, generations of Decadence and Madness have also left then somewhat lazy and cunning, so they often stew in their own plans and wickedness for years before acting on a masterfully wicked ploy or assassinating a rival. Also, they have a long tradition of mummifying their fallen rivals and transforming them into crippled augers and emissaries to their inscrutable Patron.

>>48046093
>3/?

Jakrir believe in a doctrine of force, meaning if you are strong or cunning enough to take something, you should not only take it, but do what you can to show your superiority to others. This extends to their proclivity towards capturing and keeping Chattel slaves (for servants, pleasure, food, and sacrifices), to their own gender dynamics, where males are expected to enforce dominance over their women, and females are expected to connive, scheme, and plot against eachother for favor and influence in their houses.

All this serves to entertain their Mad God and his piping council, and to continue to fuel their desire of ever increasing stimulation.

The magical traditions of both races trace back to similar roots. In most simple terms, both races utilize a practice of channeling magic into one's own body, before shaping and releasing it in various shapes on functions. This often creates the illusion of them conjuring magical equipment and regalia, when in actuality such appearances are merely mental constructs that help them focus on the desired effect for the channeled and released magic

The Sages and Sage Walkers of the Louphi apply a strict serenity and control to their magic. They learn to control and corral their own emotions internal Magic flow, granting them a measure of flexibility and artistry over their forms and regalia, which they combine with extensive traditions of prayer, ceremony, and craftsmanship to help supplement their position as the priesthood of their tribe.

>>48046129
The Jakrir, meanwhile care not for control and silly ceremony. They channel their bodily magics wildly and recklessly, letting their emotion and desires boost their Magic, causing it to warp and reshape their bodies, which the agony then further fuels to greater heights. It's not uncommon for a Jakrir to continue to channel their powers until they reach near orgasmic heights of profane and twisted stimuli. There is no cultural regiment on these powers, for the Priests and Pharaohs who rule their cities possess even greater power, due to blessings and boons from their Alienist master. Further, it is common for their priests to practice all manner of experimentation in mutations and mummification on their soldiers, slaves, and even themselves. So much so that, even if a priest displays no outward signs of alteration, you can be assured that their insides now barely resemble their original race.

Sure m8.

One are the Hemphan Spires. These are massive singular organisms who produce sterile offspring in the form of parasites. They excrete a pheromone that lures creatures towards it to get trapped in it's sap. Once in the sap a parasite burrows into the creature's brain and uses it's body. The parasitic children are sterile and sapient, but beholden to the wishes of the spire that birthed them (compelled by pheromone addiction to return and listen). Occasionally a spire will produce a fertile male and female offspring. The fertile female is immobile at birth while the males are extremely powerful and intelligent. The male will carry away the female to a new location for it to take root and grow, and defend it until it reaches maturity, at such time it begins making sterile parasitic offspring of its own.

Fertile females are enormously intelligent and lead the societies as rulers, while fertile males generally are either eventually killed by paranoid fertile females or relegated to control of mundane protection of the fertile female. This is become the fertile males do not suffer from pheromone addiction and thus can disobey the fertile female if they so choose.

Players of this race are generally infertile parasite offspring, or if they spend a large number of points at character creation they can choose to be a fertile male. Fertile female are entirely unplayable.

Hemphan Spires for millennium went to war with one another over petty disputes until two in the far south realized they together could kill a third, the third died and a four joined. Then a fifth. Others joined together to defend themselves. Nation states formed in this way. Due to the hard working nature of the sterile offspring and the intellect of the spires they quickly advanced to metal working. Their technology rests at early Rome.

>bugs: the race
Yawn

>>48046185
heir society now exists in a near perfect dictatorship, the sterile females beholden to their birthing spire. This is due to pheromone addiction, if one is near their birthing spire they go into a state of euphoria, their decision making process compromised. In their cities sterile females live in massive slums, tending to industry and the "spawning pools". In order to birth offspring a large amount of water is required, which has forced the society to develop along the western shores of the continent (as salt water is suitable). The spawning pools exist as a way to have new parasites attach to hosts.

The society also runs on enormous amounts of second hand citizen who exist as the breeding population to supply bodies. They are given an antonymous existence while being force to give up some children to the Hemphan spires. These are tossed into the spawning pools so the parasites may grow and attach to them.

I can discuss the nuances of their politics.

noob GM in great need of assistance here

How, mechanically, do I run a large-scale combat scene efficiently and without my players getting bored to tears while NPCs fight each other? In tomorrow's session the party and about 15 allies are going to be fighting about 25 enemies in a massive battle that's pretty important to the story. I spent a ton of time drawing out the terrain and writing dramatic mid-battle dialogue, but I only just now realized I have no fucking idea how to handle the fighting between NPCs in an interesting way.

I'm fairly certain I just have to decide who lives and who dies beforehand out of all the extraneous people, but how do I handle turns? The enemies have different kinds of weapons and a couple of them are wizards, so how should I group initiatives? Should I even pretend to roll for NPC interactions or just explain what happens in general terms?

pls halp

Okay, first lets start with some of the history civil war shenanigans

Unknown to the race itself, and most of the modern races, the progenitors of the Louphi were originally designed in part by one of the great Cancer Lords, the Virtual Optims, of the great Eldraavian empire during the dawning of the Festering Ages that led to the War of Bleeding Heavens.

Said particular Virtual Optim, whose name has been stricken from history along with the rest of his kin, was obsessed with entertaining guests with safari hunting ventures, and would use his skills at cancer magic and the manipulation of life to create a great variety of new and exotic critters for him and his associates and conclaves to hunt for sport.

Eventually, he started experimenting with making creatures smarter and more clever, and even going so far as to make small populations of sapient races, thrown into the world with fake memories and prefabricated cultures, before gathering his conclaves to hunt them to extinction when they were built up enough.

After the end of the War of Bleeding Heavens, when the Viel of the Creator's Madness was rent and torn and the Four Blasphemous Interlopers put their foot into Creation, the Virtual Optims were quickly slain, at least those that had not commited ritual suicide, the various Skinborn, Armies of the Daevasworn, and the other rebelling slaves decided to destroy all the work's of the empire to fire and mace and destroy their every trace, and confounded their divine minds by the alteration into the first Fae.

Well, historically, city guards weren't really a thing. You'd have the retainers of the nobility, underworld thugs, guild members' neighborhood watches, but no overarching political entity payrolling a taskforce meant to keep the peace. That's a 19th century thing, the Bobbies being the earliest organized force.
>>
>>48046511
I'm not talking about town guard, I'm talking about the local nobleman's standing military force. House guard and the like meant to keep the peace.

It varies between guild's hired folks, noble's forces, and very occasionally a standing military police.

When the Conclaves and works of the Hunstmaster Optim where destroyed, his great workshops and vats, without maintenance, began to break down, releasing dozens of monster, creatures, and entities that would die stillborn from the destruction. After 60 days of fighting off the ever spewing tide of gibbering half born and formerly caged abominations, soon ever last holding of that Optim was crushed down into near non existence. However not all of the creations were destroyed. Many in the ensuing chaos had scattered to the winds, some with incomplete knowledge and memories they new to be false in their minds, others a near tabula rasa save for the most basic levels of survival and critical thinking implanted in them.

For many centuries these scattered remnants of ancient blasphemy and sin would travel about, interacting with each other in numerous ways from cooperation, feeding, war, trading, mating, parasitizing, to integration and every other means in between.

Soon, through some add means of adaptation and selection over the years, in a small area on the central plains of a singular continent, there arose the father race of what would then become the Louphi and Jakrir. They came to dominate their niche of the area's primary sapient race, and they branched off as a series of disparate tribes, constantly at war with one another, with nearly each tribe bearing a culture and tongue vastly different form their own neighbors.

In one such tribe, who's name is now forgotten were two brothers named okay, I haven't settled on their names yet, mostly because I have not determined under what naming conventions to grant the race or their forebears yet.

As with many tribes, theirs was also assaulted and consumed in war by another tribe, and in the ensuing chaos the brothers were separated. One fled across the prairie, so consumed was the child in his fear that did not even notice when the plains had thinned away into forested hills and mountains.

Agreed.
I'm changing the rules to reflect my worldbuilding explanation of positive and negative energy. Healing is now a necromancy sub-school, while creation is an evocation sub-school. There's no separate types of healing: cure/inflict and similar spells work the same on living and undead; optionally undead are considered constructs for the purposes of healing/repairing effects. Positive and negative are energy types that damage all targets equally, basically magical versions of fire and cold that ignore immunity to fire and cold. Undead are evil because they are actually fiends, except for good undead who are merely defending their tombs from thieves or trying to right wrongs.

>>
>>48046762
The players don't really need the details of what's happening that doesn't involve them directly, especially in combat. Don't bog down the flow of the game by rolling for every single bit and piece of it; focus only on the ones that matter.

My suggestion is to make a flow chart of key things that can possibly happen in the battle. For example, let's say you have 4 options for how the battle starts; Enemies attack aggressively, enemies hold defensively, enemies split into formations, or focus on enemy wizards. Depending on how things pan out, you can pick the most appropriate, or if they are all equally likely, you can roll a die. Do again for further results; Enemies attack / single enemy slain; Enemies attack / single ally slain; Enemies withdraw / no casualties; Enemies withdraw / 1 single enemy slain; so on and so forth. You can strike through ones that the situation will not allow, and roll with whatever else happens. And you won't be rolling 20 different rolls between each and every one of your players actions.

I know you'll ignore it like the nigger you are, but sure, why not.

Fix the formatting on the table. Regardless of how it actually functions, it LOOKS like it's a poorly laid out, front-loaded class, and that's gonna turn people off of it.

Fix the BAB and Save progression. Seriously, what the shit were you doing?

The wording on abilities is shit. Deadly Focus needs to say first attack each round, Lethality just says ANY full around action not a full-attack AND it's worded awful. Just roll fucking Clustered Shots into it if you're going to do it like that, idiot.

About veilweaving: I'm not Ssalarn, so I don't know why he made the choice, but I do agree with it. Mostly from the other direction, though, I think that the ability to rebuild a third or more of your character each night is plenty. In testing all three classes, DSP got little feedback saying it felt excessive or too punishing (I was a playtester at the time, it was before I got picked up).

I do hear you on this, I just disagree on the magnitude of the issue. We aren't trying to write classes that always have all the answers at their fingertips, we're trying to write characters that are fun and functional in game, both to play as and to play with.

As for Zealot, it exists. Therefore, it will get continued support, we don't just drop things because the devs aren't fans. Not only that, but it really does fit the character being portrayed. If things don't pan out during development, then I can easily drop support for it.

True love.

Except he's, you know, a horrible person and nobody would love him.

So he is trying to create a way to make someone fall into true, unshakable love via <insert method here>. Magic seems likely, but psionics, alchemy, ancient artifacts, soul maniplulation... it's all on the table.

Bonus points if the character can't actually feel love either, and secretly wants to use the method on himself after perfecting it.

choose another random class of enemies that it'll damage, then make up logic to justify why that group is an abomination to that cleric's god and therefore will be damaged by divine magic.

example
>[cleric's god] did not intend for any other races to overpower [cleric's race], which are Medium sized. Therefore her channel energy ability will damage humanoid creatures larger than Medium.

You can probably do better than that, but yeah, you get the idea.

Really does mean a lot. Try it, everything but the most ferociously dedicated build of Guru and Vizier can perform acceptably well in at least 2-3 off roles, often without needing to shift more than essence. Daevic is harder to arrange for, but is usually packing some utility unless you're going for a DPR Olympics build.

Zealot entered the conversation on another medium. It wasn't yet discussed as a possibility on PFG, and is still tentative.

Has to do with Zealot warping play due to hyper performance at defense. They outperform bards at buffing WHILE outfighting an inquisitor. They are simply too efficient with their recovery mechanic. They stand out in front with Raven Lord Harbingers as the most powerful PoW classes.

One of a growing number of mutant subraces of humanity (which itself is made of many subraces. Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, etc are all included in the human count) who have been tainted by otherplanar energy. This wouldn't be so bad for them were it not for the fact that stuff from other planes it hated and feared because of the growing number of portals and rifts opening up and spewing outsiders everwhere.

Some of these outsiders are inherently aggressive but the most dangerous are the groups who are actively warring with each other and keep getting human settlements caught in the crossfire.

Void prophet can maybe get 1/round depending on saves and then maybe a full refresh every other round.
With the normal zealot you get a full refresh any round you aren't moving meaning you can use a strike and recover others in the same turn while buffing all of your allies.

You see, I'm all for cultural relativism. Giant dick shaped mountains and wizard spawned wereplatypi are are all well and good to the average folk in a setting where crazy magic is common, but the bastard lovechild of a literal embodiment of elemental evil and a holy warrior sworn to denounce and destroy said evil by mandate of his god is outlandish by its very nature.

Tieflings aren't the offspring of paladins and demons. That makes Half-Fiends, explicitly.

It's when that half-fiend fucks a normal person, and then their kid fucks a normal person, and so on for a few generations, long enough for the demon bullshit to spring up somewhere far down the line.

Ravenlord swaps native mobility for something that's almost, but not quite, a second Harbinger. Used well, you and your bird are a potent source of control and defense, but you share the same pool of maneuvers and as a bird your buddy isn't rocking great native power until you start enhancing it.

Paladins, Clerics, Wizards, and Warlocks all have breeding contests with Outsiders. Outsiders sometimes participate in these events, as well. If a Paladin and a Devil have a child, whichever result (aasimar or tiefling) counts as one point towards that alignment's side. The goal is to efficiently produce a superior quantity of children for your team.

Are you stupid or purposefully trying to misinterpret? Monks and Wizards can not contribute to a party equally. Once a player takes leadership he now contributes nearly double of that of the rest of the party, especially if it is two already high tier classes. Single players being more important to the party than the rest, by a wide margin, is a problem.

I can't see you not just having some form of brain problems if you think Leadership is balanced against the rest of feats.
>>
>>48051164
>implying it matters if individual players contribute precisely as much as everybody else
Leadership, like any other part of the game, is only bad if it's ruining someone's fun.

I bet you're the kind of autist that bans anything that isn't T3 for 'muh balance' and then wonders why his players die in difficult encounters.

No, I take that back. I doubt you even know what a properly difficult encounter looks like for any party, regardless of tier.

Since you're here, how does the Omen Rider's horse work? I know it doesn't attack and the HP/AC are spelled out, but is it treated as a creature (read: does it get feats?). Giving it Narrow Frame would be kind of nice.

>>48051214
Nice job making assumptions m8. Normally I do ban more than a 3 tier difference unless the player who is on the low end is aware he is playing on the low end. Too many players end up wanting to play a fighter in a group of wizards & clerics and then end up not being able to contribute meaningfully.
>>
>>48051164
>>48051214
Bro even putting aside how much power it provides, giving one player more turns is usually a really stupid idea. Pathfinder combat isn't that fast to start with, throwing extra bodies at it makes it worse. Especially when those bodies have actual class levels.

So you allow divination (foresight) wizards and archetypeless soulknives in the same party?
>>
>>48051282
If the people are aware and I know the wizard isn't TRYING to outshine the party? Yes. It depends on the players and you have to make judgement depending on the situation. The 3 tier gap is something I usually use for new groups that i have no gotten a gauge on the players yet.

Wizards do that by existing. It isn't something they have to try to do.
>>
>>48051259
Yeah okay. I'll just let all my players take Leadership and the feat for an animal companion and just NOT make anything harder, that'll be balanced.

Fucking retard.

I find that if a mage focuses on support they don't outshine the party what so ever.
