Pathfinder General /pfg/

Elsbeth/Helen hands-on magic lessons!

One time I had a character that suplexed part of a castle onto the guy that owned it. That was a pretty fun time.

Meant for Stupid software not putting quotes into a sensible order.

My character disagreed with Pharasma to her face, told her he wasn't going to quit his heretical shit and that he'd face whatever judgement she had for him when he died.
And lived.

He also convinced Naderi to distance herself from Urgathoa.
And still lived.

Basically Golarion no longer orbits its sun, it orbits my characters massive balls.

>. People spend too much time on debating what rules they're going to use.
That's a pretty important part of pathfinder.

Someone who thinks that the ACG classes are broken, someone who thinks PoW and Psionics are the standard PF design should be held to, and another who is only comfortable with 1pp only are going to have different opinions on what makes a good game.

I'm awake, and got some work done!

Behold: Blood Reaver Bloodrager v2.0, now less clunky so Gareth senpai won't be angry with me. Reworked from the ground up.

Things I'm still unsure of
> If the bonuses are enough to outweigh loss of Greater and Mighty Bloodrager
>Does it have access to too few discs
>is the word "Blood" used too much
>is my wording okay
>it it fine to allow Vitae stacking if its gained much later level
> is my wording/word choice okay
>What's that weird smell?
>How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie-roll center of a tootsie-pop?

As always, I am incredibly open to Critique.

I hope I did good that senpai notices me.

>My character disagreed with Pharasma to her face, told her he wasn't going to quit his heretical shit and that he'd face whatever judgement she had for him when he died.
Pharasma doesn't care, m8.

>He also convinced Naderi to distance herself from Urgathoa.
>literally who
Ok

>Basically Golarion no longer orbits its sun, it orbits my characters massive balls.
unwarranted self-importance detected.

Lads, shouldn't Dorian give the green-light on using his character for lewds first?

You're new to the Internet, aren't you?

>pic

If I'm gonna be honest? As long as it doesn't betray the character(s) I'm alright with it.

In an ideal universe, yes, but lack of approval isn't going to stop anyone from making lewds.

If we get that, the warsoul iconic should be a beam-cannon-toting half-giant that crawled out of Rasputin Must Die.

You would be ok with elbesth taking BGC?

>That's a pretty important part of pathfinder.

But should it be? Wouldn't it be nice if the first day of the group gathering is also the first day of play?

i've seen this picture before, what class would she be?

>pic
So it'd be cute and awkward? Even better!

>not delicious drow pussy
What's wrong with you?

Hey Dorian, pitch a scene idea for Elsbeth, that Drow chick or Helen. You're their creator, you have more authority on what "makes sense" for them.

Lesbian porn is harder to make good.

Unfortunately all the stories I can think of are from "not 3.pf" or "I was DMing" because none of my current pathfinder DMs give room for awesome.

Firstly, huh? Secondly, why would you commission someone if you didn't think they would make it good?

Helen IS the drow chick, I think?

I'll take a look at this in a bit. Your choice of tone for the fluff intrigues me though; is that tying into the idea that they ended up this way by trying to repress their blood?

I'll actually second that. Mostly for fucking with Forrest

Anyone else remember her response to the goo girl stuff after April Augmented? Great stuff.

I haven't seen the art of the guy offering commissions. That said I wouldn't mind seeing Helen partake and Elsbeth's "bounty" if you know what I mean

Holy shit I feel so cancerous

Ah, Repression.
When you've got a brothel and a bunch of sheep, and you need those victorian-era puritans to start forking the cash over...

>Pharasma don't care
It involved undead, its one of the few things she does care about.

So a genderbent gelatinous cube?
And if anyone dares ask how that's supposed to work its a gelatinous cube, accuse them of triggering your safe spaces.

>is that tying into the idea that they ended up this way by trying to repress their blood?
A bit yeah. The idea was that the reason why they aren't full Bloodragers or Sorcerers is because of either how messed up, or heavily despised their magical blood is, so they try to repress it by learning martial arts, yet it is a vain effort as the blood will always try to surge back forth.

They are born of the tainted blood,
made men by the blood,
and undone by the blood.
Fear the tainted blood

To be fair the gelatinous cubes have humanforms. Mostly I just want to see Forrest's first product's iconic get corrupted a bit.

>Anyone else remember her response to the goo girl stuff after April Augmented?
Nope.

>All this talk of iconics makes wonder if I should think about writing one for my homebrew once I get a "finished" initial version of the class hammered out
>mfw realizing the wording for the base class implies the iconic is a woman, assuming I follow the same precedent of other classes
>mfw the hilarity that would occur if I just recycled a tiefling I had rolled up with a similar concept, from before I started this whole homebrew venture

You guys are fun sometimes, you know that /pfg/?

tl;dr Forrest is a prude and didn't think the "ooze turns into person" feat through.

It was in the irc chat.

There is literally nothing wrong with female Tieflings.

Hilarity? /pfg/ hasn't seemed to care about the iconics, other than that one dwarf being a poorly done tranny.

I have a set of rules that me and my group of friends use, i.e. 25 point buy, 2 traits and 1 campaign trait when applicable, 2 background skills, DSP and a handful of other 3pp is allowed, and a couple of tweaks to a few classes, namely the fighter and soulknife.

Honestly I don't think the background story was that bad? Dwarf get used for their magic, eventually hates it and destroys what they were used for. After doing so the dwarf is shunned by their own people.

It's not great, but it's not as bad as people say.

What class are you making this Tiefling girl?

Please say Oracle.

>being this illiterate
It says homebrew class

I'm going to roll a new character
I'll think he'll be a Storm Druid, since I like the idea of both blasting and beating the shit out people as a loud hippo and later as a loud elemental, can't decide on the traits thought

The Oracle with Spellscar mystery too seems interesting, but it looks like it lacks in damage spells despite her signature revelation require spell damage on enemies beforehand, how should it work?

Also what's your favored oracle mystery? They all look cool

She is? Damn, I thought Helen was the barbarian from Eberron with a twink boy friend.

wait... Helen is from the forest, right? What if we got art of her enjoying some animal magnetism.

Heavens for maximum Pursuer.

Life for Oradin.

Apocalypse for Warder.

For just a straight Oracle, you can never go wrong with Lore.

>Akumetsu
You. I like you.

Occultist, probably, since her magic appears to be originating from an object she is holding/owns.

I can get behind this, probably won't happen.

That man seems like a nice guy.

For a bit of context, I originally made the Tiefling as a Vigilante Warlock for a potential Hell's Vengeance game my GM wanted to run on the side. I rolled the variant physical characteristics table for a giggle. I got an 83. My GM thought this was hilarious and approved of the character, but unfortunately it looks like he scrapped the idea of playing Hell's Vengeance for the time being so she's filed away for now. I think I told this story a few weeks ago when wondering where to find good tiefling art, actually.

>the character that inspired me to make the Stregone is a NE, androgynous hermaphrodite tiefling
>once again a borderline joke character winds up causing me to put a lot of effort into something

kek

He really is. Granted most of the time you see him killing evil people, but the times when he's not on the clock he's super chill and cares deeply about people.

Heck, at the end of the series he sacrifices his own life to grant a replacement body for his dying gf

You guys are startin' to get weird again.
Not that I'm surprised; I've been floating around here long enough to expect it.

>Paladin
Dude's more like a Samsaran Alchemist (clone master)

>hearts in dialogue
dropped

Akumetsu is fucking weird, I don't even understand the socioeconomic points the author is trying to make and his main character is a fucking lunatic, although it probably is true that a "superhero" who really wants to make a difference should be going after white collar criminals

No, a superhero who really wants to make a difference should be going after politicians.

>politicians aren't white collar criminals

ok

white-col·lar
adjective
of or relating to the work done or those who work in an office or other professional environment.

Correct, they aren't. They don't work and Congress et al. aren't offices.

>politicians don't have offices

>he thinks politicans do work

They do.

Is there a better class/PrC for stacking ungodly amounts of Strength than Brutal Slayer Stalker?
Both in the "this class gives me a lot of strength bonus" and also in the "this class synergizes well with tons of strength" way.
Perhaps it would be better to do some kind of multiclass mix that'd net me Rage and Mutagen and THEN go into Brutal Slayer? Or is there a class that is straight up better for it that I can just put all my levels into?

Attention, anons.
Would you want to play Curse of the Crimson Throne with all DSP and some other 3pp/homebrew (like Beguiler) content on the table, RP heavily encouraged, dramatically OP shit curbed, and optimisation being seen as acceptable?
I am currently searching for a single player to join a group of friends. We're starting at lvl 1 within a couple weeks.

Reply if you're interested.

God damn please I need a game.

Skype: bzflater

I'd be willing to give it a shot.

See:

Is there any situation where a multiclass inspired blade swashbuckler / blade adept arcanist / eldritch knight would actually be better than a full magus?

Lunar if you want to be crazy OP

Casting any sort of utility spell or downtime spell, and if your game is cool with enough cheese that piloting a simulacrum-mech with Magic Jar or [Greater] Possession isn't going to get a book thrown at you.

Is there a race that can have +4 STR as a racial that doesn't cost a bunch of -2s?
Orc is so close to being what I want.
Like I don't mind having some disgusting racial penalty so long as it doesn't fuck my ability scores up.
I just want to be a stronk barbarian who don't need no bull's strength.

no

I want to play a dex focused half-elf Steelfist Commando, but I don't know what disciplines I should take. What would you recommend?

Roast my new campaign rules:

>20 point buy
>no starting stats below 8 or above 18 AFTER racial mods
>"Standard attacks" are now "full attacks". Move and full attack, charge and full attack, etc.
>clustered shot doesn't exist
>crossbows don't need feats to reload them fast
>No 1.5x str to damage or extra power attack damage for two-handing weapons.
>9th level prepared casters only played by dnd/pathfinder pros.

How stupid am I for using these for a new campaign I am running?

>We are born of the blood
>Made men by the blood
>Undone by the blood

Thank GOD that the creator had the same thoughts I did when I was reading it. Blood Reaver looks nice, by the way!

>>no starting stats below 8 or above 18 AFTER racial mods
Well, fuck you, I want a Kobold.

>No 1.5x str to damage or extra power attack damage for two-handing weapons.
Fuck off

>Kobold
SCALIES REEEEEEEEEE
GO BACK TO FURAFFINITY
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
KOBOLDS ARE DISGUSTING PIECES OF SHIT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>clustered shot doesn't exist
But why?
>No 1.5x str to damage or extra power attack damage for two-handing weapons.

I'd love to see a drawfriend make this character to really give the Stregone an Iconic.

butthurt kobold-lover detected.

They're fine with three exceptions
>no post-racial stats above 18 or below 8
Well, there goes playing Orcs or other options. It'd be fine if it was 25 point-buy where you can afford no dumps, but at 20PB you need at least one stat to be a post-racial 6.
>No 1.5x STR or extra power attack
Not really necessary, especially when coupled with the third complaint.
>What are the 3PP allowed?

Didn't think about that. Exceptions can be made for interesting classes. 5cha orcs are fine if you make it ___fun__.

The intent was to encourage other weapon types. It was also a nerf to damage because everyone has pounce+

It's a minor nerf to archery. Archers can no longer ignore damage reduction.

Also the lower two-handed damage thing is not bait. I'm giving pounce to literally everything, and i want to nerf two-handed a bit so that someone might maybe one time possibly use something else.

Yeah and now there's no reason ever to 2hand, congrats you gave yourself the opposite problem.

>reach
>couple extra damage that might matter at low levels

golly gosh, thanks user.

I just hope senpai thinks its okay as well

>reach
Can be gotten with 1 hand easily.

Is Chimera Soul actually, like, worth using?
Or is it a mess?
I haven't really done anything with natural attacks so I can't tell.

How much shit am I gonna eat if I take master craftsman on my character to try to make items.

I don't think so?
There might be something in the "make you own custom weapon" rules that came out, but besides that I can't think of a single weapon that gives reach with one hand.

Plus, using a shield:
>couple extra AC that might matter at low levels.
Isn't exactly so hot itself.

Shield bonus to AC goes up to +7 without shenanigans. Cheaply too, with Magic Vestment.

>I can't think of a single weapon that gives reach with one hand.
Whip.
