I'm not gonna pass judgement on Spheres of Might until it's fully playtested- but... from what I can see, it isn't looking that great.

What the hell is the point of giving spell storing as a sacred weapon buff to neutral warpriests?
The spell falls off when the buff goes away, right? So I have spell storing for just a few rounds? The hell am I going to do with that?

Why not?

Idunno, it's just that the classes don't seem that great and the stuff they're wanting to publish just doesn't mesh well with me.

Anyone have any idea where to get Bestiary Box 1? Paizo isn't printing it, nobody seems to have it, I'm willing to pay good money for a copy - even second hand from one of you nice fellows.

If you want to play a martial, take a look at the Warder class, and especially the Zweihander Sentinel archetype for it. It gives you some of the few reliable ways to non-magically control a broad area of terrain as a martial.
Hey guys, I'm currently working on a Soulsborne type game and setting, and have hit a stumbling block.
I need some form of visual, and later mechanical, design change to indicate the enemies that are this setting's version of the Hollow/Humanity-Wild/Blood-Drunk. Something to indicate the increasing corruption and inhumaness of the fodder enemies they'll be facing.
Anyone have any cool design ideas?
If its important, the corruption is coming from The corrupted divine essence of the land's God King, who is being influenced and corrupted by a powerful Primordial God of Immaterial and Non-Causal Existence who was sealed away by the Old Gods long ago using a mighty tower (think Zues and the Olympians banishing Chronus and the Titans to Tarterus), who is being championed by a ghostly wizard who tricked the God-King into accepting the Primordial One's power in an effort to make an eternal and infinitely prosperous kingdom
My first idea was to give them wierd mutations of gaining, twisting, and mutating limbs and things, but that seemed a tad too Kingdom Death, and would like to ask what you guys think would be cool as the enemy gimmick.
Jace Walker
Really like the idea of the martial traditions. Works well for the SoM classes and many Paizo classes.
But like...what the fuck do you do with casting classes like a Sorcerer or Hedgewitch? And what about classes like the Bard or Rogue who get specialized weapon proficiencies?
Julian Watson
Maybe cracks in their skin spewing light or gas from their body?
When you kill them, the flesh splits and the REAL fight begins.
Ethan Torres
>non-causal existence What exactly does this entail? You could have some of the enemies be permanently affected by Blink, for example.

Does this one involve rape

Anyone got an answer for me or not?

Nope, book doesn't release for two days. I'll be trying to do the PDFs for the Ironfang Invasion books though.

It means the Primordial God despises the concept of a rational and sensible flow of time and cause/effect. When the Old Gods came together into being, and their leader some how created an action with consequence, thus becoming the Unmoved Mover, the Primordial God coalesced into being as a counter force, the "opposite reaction" to the Old God's action.
The Primordial god feels suffering in its own existance, and in the existance of causality in general, and seeks to return everything back to the original null state, where time, action, and matter have no meaning.
Since he wished to destroy and negate the freedom of choice and action that the Old Gods had just discovered, they conspired against him and sealed him away within a cage of paradoxes, using a great tower they constructed out of the concept of certainty.
Because his seals are now weakening, reality and certainty is becomming a slippery thing, and those with enough sanity to maintain rational agency, as well as having possessed enough "divine" power, can twist and alter reality in subtle ways yadda yadda inster "time and space in convoluted in Lordran" boggle here.
I can work that in when they start to kill off the remaining and corrupted remains of the last batch of Gods.
No corruption mechanic, and no rape. The PCs will be by their nature uncorruptable save for the influence of entities beyond their grasp. You are not some schmuck Hollow or Hunter like in normal Souls games. You are a potential New God. What being a God means to you will depend on what choices you make on your journey
And yes, there will be a Maiden in Black/Fire Keeper/Doll expy.
Brandon Bennett

Mate I hope you realize that this is far more broken than you're giving it credit for. In fact at this point if the Primordial God awakens, it's flat out invincible. Players would have to declare their moves sequentially ahead of time, because you've made this guy exist above time.
Christian Thompson
Vult revealed his master plan this morning:
He's revealing one applicant who gets in per day to maximize salt.
I don't even.
Austin Hall
What are some feasible adventurers someone who's around level 2-3ish could have done around Varisia/ongoing conflicts they could have participated in.
Christopher Gomez
Being the squire to a more experienced adventurer, helping set up traps for monsters, hunting large game, meeting and negotiating with Shoanti tribes or Varisian caravans, helping track down street-level criminals in Korvosa or Magnimar or Kaer Maga, exploring ancient ruins.
That's the kind of stuff I imagine my character would have done, anyhow.
Ayden Nelson
She is going to be the new High Priestess of the PCs. I plan on her personality to be something akin to Marona from Phantom Brave, except more grown-up and mature She also has a very protective brother, who wishes she wouldn't endanger herself like this, but will do anything to see her safe and smiling. He will also by your Andre, and aftera while he may warm up to you and become your bro or husbando
Then the PCs had better make sure he doesn't awake then, or at the very least Get max divinity, and find all the special secrets and things to get the True Ending But yes, failure may elude them in certain instances, but it is completely possible to fail the overarching quest. Welcome to Dark Souls.

>Sigmund relaxed, leaning against the tree stump as Lysander's soft lips slid up and down his barrel, the lad's tongue periodically swirling around the muzzle of Sigmund's powerful rifle. The boy was good for something after all, Sigmund pondered, as he closed his eyes and thought of Liliana.
Anthony Miller
Alright, last slot, is it gonna be Cashmere or Sage? Place your bets now.
Jack Evans
>welcome to Dark Souls No no no, you don't understand. In Dark Souls, it's the system that's fucked. There is literally no answer to the equation. It's like trying to prevent heat death. In this setting, your primordial god is 100% batshit insane. He should by definition be omniscient and therefore omnipotent as he exists outside of time and casuality. He can insert himself into times where he isn't fully awakened, from a different "time" and state where he is fully awakened. If it is possible for him to awaken then he's already awake.
CONFIRMED

I'm the guy who threatened to dox everyone, but I don't even care anymore, I'm kind of hype now that Gloriana and Sigmund are confirmed.
I, uh. Might have started rooting for some of these characters during the hours I spent shitposting, even if Vult is a shitter.
Angel Wood
I like Bon-Bon...
Thomas Clark
>Like the premise and the characters so far but worried the DM will burn down his campaign a few sessions in and drop them aaa
Brandon Reed
Cashmere in boy. 4/4 on initial predictions, now let's see if Sage bumps it up to 5/5 for the extra slot.
Julian Gutierrez
What's worse, a GM that drops dead before the game starts or a GM that drops dead one or two sessions in?
Daniel Nguyen
This is exactly what it's become.
I kind of fell in love with some of the better applicants.
Jonathan Robinson
One of them had him as a DM before and signed up for another go.
They wouldn't sign up if Vult was going to do that.
Oliver Thompson
I meant a weapon having 15ft reach instead of 10 or 5->10.
Sharding is cool, but requires a ranged attack, meaning dex instead of str.
Zachary Brown
Okay, /pfg/ I just joined a tourney game against 30 other players on roll20.
I need some good PvP builds
Take note I also need some good defense against magic, and if possible a good method to reliably win initiative.

Asher Price
Go Swashbuckler, build into Smash from the Air. You probably won't win but it'll be funny and stylish.
Ryder Brooks
It depends on how good the game was.
Drops dead after a few good sessions > Drops dead before the game starts > Drops dead after a few bad sessions
Jordan Barnes
That's why the PCs need to gain enough Divine Power, equal to or greater than the Old Gods, in order to counter his ability to do so by existing (a safety measurement placed in the Cage of Paradoxes), and figure out a way to either strengthen the Cage of Paradoxes, or create a greater paradoxical force to possible impose Causality on him permanantly and destroy him for good.
Basically, you have to get powerful enough to the point that your own Existential bullshit counters the Primordial's Ontological bullshit, and then basically be the GER to his King Crimson.
Don't think too hard about it. I'm operating completely on paradoxes and bullshit divine cascade principles, that probably will give me an aneurysm. I figured if I wanted to emulate that Soulsborne feel, I would also need to emulate a bit of that "slightly more symbolism than substance" feel of Eastern writing that the franchise runs on.
And I swear I will successfully Miyazaki/Kirkbride all over this thing, or die trying.
Sebastian Diaz
What's allowed? Is it going to be only 1 on 1s? For more than that, something like Knight-Chandler might be helpful, given that it buffs allies and at level 5 gets Evasion and Stalwart. If you want to go full cancer, OD/ZS Warder with 1 or 2 levels in Brutal Slayer.
Jace Hall

From what I understand, the groups will be randomly grouped into groups of 5. So I need to win against 5 other groups.

Still haven't said what's allowed, what point buy, what starting level, which all makes a difference. Becoming a force multiplier for your team, like a bard or skald, is very potent assuming they don't have something similar.
Dominic Sanders

Gabriel Morris
Level 10 Standard Gold for someone of that level (Though saving some money may not be a terrible idea) 28 Point Buy All non-monstrous races allowed, if you wish to play one special consideration may be made at the cost of level(s) All Classes/PrCs allowed. ALL of them. Psionics/Path of War/Spheres of Power Allowed though will be carefully looked over as (In the case of PoW and SoP at least) can be easily devastating. However no Spheres of Might as of yet as none of us have had a chance to observe its interactions Third Party materials may be allowed if the GM is consulted first
Lucas Mitchell
I get this distinct feeling the DM lurks /pfg/
Logan Taylor
Dropping dead in that case is more "lel the campaign fell apart".
Ontological is higher than existentialism, I hope you know that. Ontological existences are literally 'fuck the rules, I am the rules'. A physical god-like being can warp reality to the limits of the rules. A metaphysical god-like being is basically the DM and can change the rules. An ontological god-like being can pull shit like casting Greater Turn Undead on itself to make itself a supermass lich, create a rock too heavy for it to lift then lift it anyway, and turn itself into a powerless ffellf (that word doesn't exist but it turns into one anyway) and immediately blow up the world while being completely powerless. Plus, since he exists outside of time and casuality, he can literally just take the route where the players didn't make it in the end, designate that as the Cause, and have the entire (failed) adventure be the Effect.

Noah King
At level 10 you're starting to verge into the territory of "Wizards run shit." If you want to win play a Wizard with the Divination school for +5 to initiative, then cast your suck-or-dies. Take stock of their team against yours, and try to create a gap. They've got someone who does more damage than your guy, blind him, now he does half as much.

Mason Hill
>Plus, since he exists outside of time and casuality, Its something he "can" do only IF he escapes from the Cage of Paradoxes. As long as said Cage of Paradoxes exists, he an't utalize the fullness of his being, only leak out whispers while its weakening.
If the cage breaks, then yeah he's going to do everyhting you just said. Further, as long as an Equal or Greater force of Causality exists, and can confront him, which ideally is what the PCs will be at the end, then he can't do anything that directly affect it, as he is unable to interact directly with Causality due to being seperate from it.
Basically, as long as the Pardox of his cage exists, he can't use his bullshit since its using the concept of Paradox to NOPE his capabilities away and contain it.
Its only once Paradox stops existing to fuck his mind that he can go full HAXOR on reality and rewrite everything

Here's a slick question tho how the literal fuck did anybody contain this guy? The big man G upstairs arguably is lower powerlevel than this guy depending on interpretation. Featherine and Elder God Demonbane are unironically below him.
