Pathfinder General /pfg/

Home is where the heart is edition. Where do your characters call home? Do you enjoy the bustle of the cities or prefer a comfy country life?

>THIS IS IMPORTANT!
If you want build advice make sure to say what 3pp you can use, if any.

Home is where the coffin is that has soil from your home land.

>Where do your characters call home? Do you enjoy the bustle of the cities or prefer a comfy country life?

If you wanted my raw, honest opinion? He prefers the hustle and bustle of a city; Restov was his home and his everything, Magnimar proved a crude imitation but it just wasn't the same. He suffers in Sandpoint, especially since he doesn't have a reason to be there, and secretly yearns for an excuse to return to the crowded cobblestoned streets of a city.

Gosh darn Tzimisce.

>tfw GM won't allow Psionics for reasons he simply won't tell me nor PoW because it's "too strong"

I truly, truly wish I had the patience and actual desire to be a GM myself because I'm fucking sick of my PF games being run by one fucking guy. It also doesn't help that no one else in the group even likes PF in the first place.

Psionics is overpowered trash, why not use an actually balanced system like Psychic magic?

>old, used and dried up
No thank you. Fishcunt best girl!

>where do your characters call home?

That depends. One calls a small town in Andoran home, another Westcrown. Another hails from Kintargo (and always hated the place, as far as she knows).

And one I've been working on for a while but am not sure where to use him? Well, he had a home once. Now he can't go back and it's all because of love.

So, this is the guy who wrote the Sword Pact homebrew for Avowed; I've been inspired to make a series of similar esoteric pacts for weapons/equipment. So far I have Shield, Spear, Gun, Bow, Knife, and Armor on the list; would /pfg/ be interested in seeing any more equipment based esoteric pacts?

Path of War is really hard to balance for, to be fair. You basically have to remove several disciplines and throw in houserules about it.

>tfw almost ready to ask /pfg/ about my first gestalt character

Pirate (kek) Skulls and Shackles AP.
Get a bunch of piratey music.
Level 4 start, skip the first book.
Throw out the story completely that doesn't revolve around the pirate council. Cheliax invasion is lame.
Watch Pirates of the Caribbean and "Pirates" (the porn parody)

Make your players play nothing but PoW or Psionics or Spheres.

Sell it to them as "PIRATE ADVENTURES."

Let them go hog wild for a few sessions before working on an actual story.

They'll love it.

TELL US TELL US TELL US

>actually balanced system like Psychic magic?
Le Kineticist

What PCs are the most edgy motherfuckers in your group, /pfg/? And of those, who can actually make it fun/funny?

Don't start this shit man.

Is it a cute girl with animal ears? :3

I'm sure it's perfectly fine. If not, there's any number of helpful individuals who will offer suggestions after gleefully mocking you.

I wouldn't mind it being banned if I were given any sort of fucking chance to play it myself so actual opinions can be formed.

Soon
It's nothing special really

Nope

I actually have 2, but this is the one I prefer thematically

She's used to the hustle and bustle of the city life, but she definitely find the quiet village a romantic notion and hopes she can settle down in one after adventuring hopefully with someone special.

Talking about sea-campaign. Where i can read about Sightless Sea?

/pfg/ seems weirdly obsessed with gestalt

What does she consider a special somebody, user?

It's because RotJR is gestalt and everyone wants their build to win the popularity contest.

>Where do your characters call home?
Their own castle. Flying castle.

Know it's a little early, but is anyone planning any neat christmas session stuff for their players?

And remember, /pfg/, if you're a very good player you'll find your own 7 int, 7 wis idiot whore paladin to abuse and violate under your tree!

I agree. I usually find its just a huge annoyance to keep track of everything in a gestalt. And I wish ROTJR wasn't gestalt because I can't see how 4-6 gestalt PCs aren't going to be stepping on each others toes constantly.

From last thread. Is there any way to get either wisdom or strength as bonus attacks of opportunity?

>obsessed with gestalt
And nobody tell what rules their using for this gestalt.

I mean I could simply build a Gestalt character who is better than every other PC at literally anything. The builds in RotJR aren't anything special.

Offense, Defense, Skills, and more. You can eclipse the lot of them on pretty much everything.

3.5?

But user, what if I want to give that idiot whore Paladin a life full of love, laughter, and the pitter patter of tiny feet running across the numerous hallways of our large house?

Our Musket Master is the edgiest, and she literally told the witch to stop talking (read: player telling her to stop RPing) because she was wasting their time.

Inviting her to the game was a mistake

Would you really trust a 7int, 7wis woman to raise children, user? Especially if she's a sadomasochist who worships the literal god of being a slut?

Probably someone dashing and brave, but also someone who would be willing to spend gentle nights together sitting cozy next to a fire. Bravery is nice but relaxing is important too!

I do not think there is. Baring some small 3pp or homebrew. You can double check through here if you want.

docs.google.com/document/d/1o91Z-s0R7Vf2Ujj1lFqGC5W--9JOyU0I6uC9XRIR5to/edit?pli=1#heading=h.5uq277y2uird

Just because she's an impulsive fool does not mean she's incapable of knowing her own spawn! Stop it! She'll love her babes and I'll love them just as much!

Is this a character for another campaign, or for RotJR?

If RotJR, who do you see as the best father for this woman's children?

Why don't you use your +43 to diplomacy to find yourself a game?

>not sure whether to do a The Party Saves Crystalhue special like I did last year or have them play the Grinch-like role this time

Oh, I don't doubt she'd know what popped out of her, but I doubt she'd be any good at raising them.

What paladin archetypes stack with Knight Disciple?

Also, is there an anti-paladin initiating archetype anywhere?

Which RotJR character do you think it is?

It's karma for posting with a trip on when it's completely unfucking necessary.

>tfw gonna play in new game
>everything seems fine
>really excited
>GM cancels at the last minute
>other players don't really want to chat about maybe finding a new group
This is my personal hell.

You're right I fucked that up.

Someone did a Knight Disciple anti-paladin conversion.

docs.google.com/document/d/1pl00apM9VDmhmLQZxzYJMmY6QLrLFhap3vH7bXnKtgg/edit

Pretty sure it wouldn't be hard to adapt Knight Disciple to Antipaladin.

My noble Half-Elf Magus enjoys a comfy family villa when in the forests of the Elf-Nation that his Great-Uncle reigns over. When he's in human lands, he occasionally drops in to visit his Human half-cousins and their children for festivals, or if he needs a place to stay while on the road.

Not like anyone would need to check for the trip to know who the source of whining is.

>the fetishposting about the 7 Int/Wis Paladin carries over from last thread

I thought I could tolerate this campaign's shitposting, but every day it gets harder.
>the best
what did he mean by this

Wrong tripfag, DHB is the one who is painfully autistic.

It's awful, right?

>Where do your characters call home?
He currently lives in a cave or small hut, first session was last Friday and I just made him, not sure which I should go with but just met with the rest of the party and he isn't really tied down to any one place yet.

Some of the shitposting is fun, like sometimes people will put characters together and explain good reasons why they think they'd work together, or try to figure out how to improve on their idea.

Other times we have shit like this. And it's irredeemable garbage.

Better yet, a small hut inside a cave.

elaborate?

>someone remembered my crappy homebrew
I is of the happiness!

If you need help or want to bounce ideas give the word friendo. Got into a gestalt game recently and it's pretty sweet

I got a Necromancer Incanter, Tyrant Sphere Antipaladin, Cavalier going into Hellknight, and an Asmodean Advocate Sphere Cleric in the party for my Hell's Vengeance game. What should I build to fit right in with them? We got 25 point buy, Psionics, Spheres of Power, and Path of War. Only requirement is that I be evil.

>someone remembered
Yes and wants more of these shits!

There's the panther style line. The 2nd gives you a number of retaliatory strikes equal to your Wis mod.
Though to trigger it, they need to attack and miss you

Slayer.

I'm making a Doc with links to my stuff.
My current project is a Heavy Metal PoW Skald
Though that's all on hold, until I finish my next RotJR character

You know, it occurs to me that if the MLP characters were humans, their tattoos would basically just be tramp stamps.

Alright, here's a thing with links to my currently "beta state" homebrews.
I say Beta State, because while they are functional right now, I am always open to more critique and criticism at all times

And I'm an idiot who forgot his link

>needs Combat Reflexes
Fuck. The whole point of this is that I have no dexterity bonus, so that's just going to be a wasted feat slot.

Die, you degenerate barneyfag.

How's your Wis? You could take that Torag thing that gives you Wis-based Combat Reflexes. I think it requires you to use a Warhammer though.

Wis is great, but the warhammer is a bit of a deal breaker.

This is a Stalker (Brutal Slayer)||Unchained Monk VMC Barbarian build, so I've got no dex, but huge strength and wis. I could possibly take Master of Many Styles, I guess.

Out of those two, he'd like the city more. But a man's path never lets him settle down for long. There's always something else that he must surmount!

I want them fucking dead.

These fucking shills need to stop with the pony shit.

This is in no way /pfg/ or even Veeky Forums related, fuck off.

They need to fucking die.

Yeah, and neither is breaking GR15 like this barneyfag here.

All is lost.

So some friends and I wanted to port the Dragonborn from D&D over to PF, but we went a bit overboard and made every species a different ability score spread, according to what we thought made sense based on the characteristics of that type of dragon. Would you guys want to see it? We also built racial feats.

...

seriously, fuck off with this.

M8 you could at least have a 12 or 14 dex and get some value out of it

There is no escape, user. Not in this life, and not in the next.

Not until they get back in containment.

What's their origin? In my games, I made the Dragonborn a predominantly Varisian race created by Alaznist, Runelord of Wrath, back in the heyday of Thassilon. After the fall, they devolved into clans that coexist peacefully with Shoanti and Varisians, hate orcs, and resent dwarves and Chelaxians.

With a +STR/WIS -DEX race? Yeah, that 14 or 16 on my point buy is really going to go well. I'd prefer not being retarded.

You realize by doing this, in reply to a single post with a single image that is only recognizably pony if you know the show, you are doing an astounding amount more damage to the thread and it's context by taking up posts that could be used for literally any sort of pathfinder discussion for your crusade against a single user posting art that would literally be perfectly acceptable to use as a character reference for a gunslinger character in pathfinder?

But user, you're shitposting currently 5x more than they are right now.
Take a chill pill. Just report the ponyfag and move on you panicky asshole. You're acting like you just got out of /v/ or something.

So looking through classes what would someone say is the Ultimate Skill Monkey? My major impression is that it's dominated by Investigator with Inspiration being a big deal.

If you had to Gestalt into EVEN MORE SKILL MONKEY what would you grab on the other side of Investigator? Phantom Thief rogue perhaps for the sheer amount of bonuses and a few extra skill ranks? Wizard because memes?

>barnyfag has transcended /v
Go back to the shitpile or stay banned you fucking faggot.

Thread is shit, post campaign music instead

MAXIMUM OVERSKILLS would be Phantom Thief Rogue. If I wanted to branch out for versatility's sake, I'd do Lore Warden Fighter

Just report the retard and move on, no need to feed the troll.

Essentially my backstory for them was that they were essentially an experiment created by dragonkind in a moderately successful attempt to create a species of dragon that could actually live with each other without wanting to rip each others heads off at the mere sight of each other due to alignment differences. This ended up requiring a bit of tempering their draconic blood with humanoid characteristics, but the end result was two major civilizations, one that worshiped Tiamat and one that worshiped Bahamut.

Why Lore Warden?

It gets +2 skill ranks per level as a class feature, which means it gets them even if your other side has more skill ranks. I'd personally say Bard.

If I ever run a Hold of Belkzen campaign I'm just gonna use all of the Warlords of Draenor soundtrack.

All of it.

youtube.com/watch?v=OK0L1MhMlYY

But the campaign I most want to run at the moment is also the one I know I don't have the skill to run.

Essentially, I'd need to modify an AP or two for an all-monster party.

I mean yeah, but what does it offer besides that for skill monkey-ing? Phantom Thief does huge bonuses and social talents, along with extra skill unlocks.

Flat +2 to skill points for that 8+Int/level, and covers any and all fighty aspects of the Investigator side so you aren't worthless in combat. Leaves you plenty of feats to spend on extra Investigator Talents and other inspiration-related stuff as well. Phantom Thief is fun and a cool gimmick, but doesn't cover any actual weaknesses the Investigator has, aside from maybe getting free Finesse.

Bard makes you require Charisma, which feels like it misses the point of the Investigator, since no good dedicated skillmonkey Investigator wouldn't be taking Empiricist +that one trait

>not reading combat reflexes
>not posting those background conditions in the first place
Shove off with that salt m8. I'm making suggestions for your ass, not mine.
>not seeing combat reflexes has no prerequisites

>and covers any and all fighty aspects of the Investigator side so you aren't worthless in combat.
Investigators are already better than fighters in combat though, for the most part.
