As the GM, I strongly consider suicide every day of my life, but I always resolve just to murder the player characters instead.

Spherecasters and Whateverwarriors, living in harmony?
Landon Diaz
One can dream
Easton Foster
These aren't even bad, bruh.
Jason Thomas
Just a friendly reminder that, you can now play Paladin however you want.
Just don't forget to cast Protection from Evil and Protection from Chaos once or twice a day.
Nathan Hall
Spheres of War, they're apparently calling it, so Spherewarriors I guess?
Thomas Watson
Spheremartials
Ryder Russell
do you think sphere warriors would clash with gishy sphere casters the way initiators clash with regular gishes?
Jonathan Watson
>Spheres of War
Aw. That seems a little on-the-nose. I was hoping they'd pick a different name for it.
Jason Hill
Cry 'Havoc!' and let slip the Spheres of War!
Mason Robinson
What's a good gestalt for Kineticist?
Charles Watson
Is 3rd-party on the table?
If so, then Psychic Armory Soulknife. Get all of your weapons to be Conductive and you'll be able to blast more effectively. If not, Barbarian is nice because it boosts your CON (and your STR, if you're a Kinetic Blade attacker), Alchemist is also a strong choice with the added benefit of utility.
Jackson Kelly
Nope. The Paladin's Code of Conduct isn't "Be LG.". It is "Abstain from committing evil actions or from being dishonorable." A paladin that falls doesn't necessarily stop being LG.
Logan Diaz
What's a good gestalt combo for something with high strength and wisdom? I was considering druid with unchained monk but i don't know if style strikes work with natural weapons.
>Would your characters consider suicide... or only murder?
My ravenlord's bird once tried to kill herself on her master's rapier when her master got mind controlled, rather than serve her master's puppeteer.
Couldn't do it in time before the raven got ordered to stop and allow herself to be controlled too. It was a pretty metal moment.
Mason Moore
That's metal as fuck user. Tell me more of this Ravenlord.

Ravens are objectively the best birds.
Mason Hall
I am obligated to contend this assertion.
Benjamin Baker
How does it feel to have a pleb tier taste in birds?
Objectively worst more like, it doesn't even have a beak!
Blake Lopez
... Yes? Why wouldn't you be able to? Succubi have gender just like everyone else.
Jaxson Bell
Clearly nonsense, you're just raven
Zachary Robinson

If you're going to try to rig them for fairness, then why not just use point buy?

Gives you an average score of 13.5 regardless of what you roll, and will always end up with some sort of quite strong array.
Wyatt Jackson
Has anyone figured out the optimal use of the Vigilante talent that adds 1/2 your level to damage rolls if you use str for damage and dex to hit?
Connor Bennett
Unarmed Strikes, high Str and high Dex, deals more damage in the end than Deadly Agility would.
Ryan Fisher
I had an interesting one where a long-term campaign I was GMing actually had a morally good player as a paladin, and he was really well liked both in and out of game. The campaign had started out honest enough, which involved a massive war between the forces of Apsu and Tiamat near the end.
Now I had subjected these guys to quite a bit, having let them know ahead of time that a chaotic evil goddess, I am attempting to personify her actions as realistically as possible, so there would be a strong deal of disturbing stuff.
When the war began, Tiamat's army had pre-emptived the entire kingdom, most of them had snuck in under the guise of refugees from other destroyed kingdoms, so shit hit the fan terribly quick. As I was describing things a few sessions after, the paladin snapped.
An alleyway had been stained with the blood and corpses of children mercilessly slaughtered by Tiamat's forces. Many decapitated. No rhyme or reason, other than Tiamat's own kind feeling all else were insignificant. These children were the same ones that the party had supported their homes and orphanages earlier, some of them known by name.
That day, my paladin player traded his moral code of conduct and righteous personality for one of vengeance. While the party was visibly affected, he was in and out of game the most affected by it. And I still remember the colossal fight between him and Tiamat's avatar.
He dropped it to zero HP, knelt on its chest, ripped her tongue out, all of her teeth one by one, cut off all her fingers, poked out her eyes.
He had the names of every child on his mind. Every soldier that fell in defense of that kingdom. He made Tiamat pay in blood for every life lost.
Christian Sanders
Could you explain this to me? I don't think I understand what you mean.
Tyler Morris
Yeah.
Sage bloodline lets the Sorc use INT. Empyreal bloodline lets the Sorc use WIS. Standard Sorc uses CHA.
Shame there's no STR or CON one.
Juan Cruz
It's a way to roll stats in a way that will always get the same average of stats, but still gives a good variance of arrays. The arrays will also be fairly strong (average of 13.5 instead of 10.5 like, say, 3d6 or 4d6b3's 11.5 or 12.5 [I can't remember which]).
Brandon Miller
What? The fuck?
What about Incubi? How can you be a succubus and male?
Blake Rivera
A tedious and annoying process that produces analogous results to just saying "fuck it, pick some big numbers for your important abilities and some solid ones for the others".
Bentley Hall
Succubi have genders and have had genders for years in D&D and Pathfinder. They're shapeshifters and have preferred forms.
Incubi and succubi are /different species/, embodying different concepts. Incubi are aggressive rape, succubi are deceptive rape/date-rape.
Josiah Bell
You roll 1d6 and add six to the slot in the array that corresponds to what you rolled. If you rolled 6, for example, your array is now 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 13. Then you roll for where to distribute the 4, 4, 2, 2, 2, etc. among them. If you rolled a 1 then a 1 again, you'd take that 4 that would have gone to the 18 (12+6) you already had and stick it back on the end of the list. If you roll nothing but ones, the other players burn you at the stake for your terrible luck, as usual.
Cameron Hall
Notably, incubi have free shapeshifting too, and will end up looking however they feel like.
Gavin Ramirez
Better than rolling a stat gen method that isn't guaranteed to give you decent stats, though.
Aaron Phillips
>succubi are deceptive rape/date-rape. Not quite. They're supposed to be actually seductive and alluring.
Jonathan Sanders
Seductive, alluring, disguised. And then they energy drain you to death. Fair enough though. The big thing is that succubi and incubi are different species, not male and female versions of the same species.
Bentley Wilson
Why haven't you jumped ship from this piece of shit game yet, /pfg/?
Josiah Brown
Specifically to spite you, personally.
Chase Rodriguez
Because it's no better than DW. If I want rules lite nonsense, I go with FUDGE.
Dominic Parker
TRUE STRIKE Casting Time 1 standard action Components V Cost 2 Int damage Range personal Target you Duration see text
You gain temporary, intuitive insight into the immediate future during your next attack. Your next single attack roll (if it is made before the end of the next round) gains a +20 insight bonus. Additionally, you are not affected by the miss chance that applies to attackers trying to strike a concealed target.
When will there be more? Make Pathfinder Great Again.
Lucas Davis
I dont understand, why does this guy keep posting this slightly modified true strike all the time?
Ian Reyes
>reducing your save DC by casting the spell Um, no.
Ethan Evans
Because he's an idiot.
Liam Perry
How can we make Charmed Life great again?
Camden Brown
By making it the same mechanic as Divine Grace instead.
William Carter
Veeky Forums, I need you. Satyrs are a playable race in Pathfinder?
Zachary Rogers
Is playing a psion worth it?
Angel Cruz
That's up to your GM.
The standard rule in PF for monster as PC race is that CR=(Level minus character wealth), though sometimes a creature may have NPC wealth. Every four levels they take in a class, they get a bump of one extra level to keep their DC's for class abilities up to par.

Ryan Turner
Never heard of this (male) archetype. I don't think the Pathfinder system supports it. You might need Black Tokyo for that. I thought I saw that word used a few times there.
Isaac Young
I think I've seen someone play a male character before, we laughed at his thing.
Easton Turner
Haven't looked at the rituals, so I'll give you what I noticed from the previous draft.
The Mob ability does nothing mechanically and doesn't make sense fluff wise.
Cult Leader is comically useless as a capstone. Maybe as a tenth level ability as written, since I imagine the intent was to sack followers for rituals.
They should just have cantrips as normal, as the thought of murdering a dog to clean the mess from killing the last dog is really just too stupid.
The Talisman mechanic is binary in power, for the most part. With downtime, ridiculous. Without, near worthless. This feels like it should just be window dressing for standard spellcasting.
If these guys are going to be predominantly NPCs, why actually stat them as a class when they could just be Adepts with rituals? Again, the idea seems something that can just be reflavored on an existing class, rather than needing its own mechanics.
Luis Miller
>STR sorcerer
James Smith
>tfw no DEX sorcerer who is fluffed as using sleight of hand and trickery
Isaac Thomas
>The mob ability does nothing mechanically and doesnt make sense fluff wise The mechanics portion is that you will be requested to help the cult at times and that as you get promoted, you can request help from the cult. Fluff-wise, you're a cultist. Of course you're part of a cult.
>Cult leader is useless. Fair enough, although intent was to have the cultist be going on adventures most of the time, meaning they'll have their own reseirvour of bloodstones which you can call upon.
>Should have cantrips as normal, murdering dogs to clean up the last dog The cantrips cost nothing and take 5 minutes to prepare. If you need a cantrip immediately (like a combat cantrip), you should've made it a talisman.
>Talismans are binary in power By downtime do you mean when cast or you need downtime to make them? The talismans are cast with a swift action, and i'd imagine it'd take at most a day to use up the blood points you have to make talismans.
>Window dressing for standard spellcasting not sure what that means, but i guess that it should just be reflavored normal spellcasting? Half the point is that the class cant cast normally.
>If these guys are going to be predominantly NPCs Not sure where you got that from, but for the purpose im homebrewing this, they aren't.
Nolan Watson
How can I best play a foxfire pyromancer in Pathfinder?
William Nelson
Depends. If you're going for fear, go Dread. If you're going for playful antics, go Illusionist (either wizard or bard). If your going for the doom and gloom horror of it, go Sorcerer.
Josiah Harris
Why are you making excuses when your class is bad?
Chase Collins
These arent excuses nor reasons, i just cant think of a solution immediately
Carson Barnes
Get gud.
Easton Sullivan
So I'm kinda new to the pathfinder system. How should I go if I want to make a character that: - uses firearms as his main weapon, - is equipped with various gadgets (flashbang, smoke grenade, explosives, etc..), - is proficient in military tactics and can lead a group
I mainly roleplay so I don't care much about min-maxing
Robert Williams
What if the summoner class functions exactly like its 4e counterpart, in that your summons take your actions away from you.
Joseph Bailey
Alchemist with a dip into Gunslinger, but mostly stick to Alchemist
Owen Clark
What is Guts in PF? and what level?
Jonathan Robinson
Trench fighter instead.
Connor Cruz
Depends on if 3pp is allowed
Sebastian Perry
Damn straight.
Kayden Torres
>Ordinary soldiers consider him to be "Fast" >Wearing heavy armor >Feat heavy build with lots of extra weapons >Ordinary soldiers consider him to hit hard as fuck >Good at sundering shit lvl 7 two-handed fighter VMC barbarian with a large sized impact bastard sword most likely.
Sounds absurd that he's lowish level but he really is just a big fish in a small pond given his setting.
Robert Cooper
Armor of berserk is either Fighter 7/Alchemist 2 for feral mutagen or maybe we can even stretch it to fighter 11 VMC barbarian for animal fury rage power.
Ethan Anderson
Thank guys
Both look cool but I feel the trench fighter is what I'm looking for. If my GM allows me to play with Reign of Winter I'll go with trench fighter, otherwise alchemist+gunslinger
Jace Fisher
Desperado (for the Arm-Cannon) Warlord with a few levels in Armored Hulk Barbarian
I'd say Barb5/Warl5
>why Warlord and not Warder Guts ain't exactly booksmart. Plus he's been known to take extreme risks in combat, rely on his luck, and did lead troops as a Raid-LEader during the Golden Age. Warlord just seems perfect.
Dragonslayer and the Berserker Armor are artifacts, and said armor probably increases is effective Barb level for Rage while also giving him Diehard.
Ian Hernandez
These levels seem impossibly low for what he's gone up against.
Ryan Wright
Do you have access to 3pp?
Parker Edwards
Like most anons say. The monsters he fights are "Routine" by golarions setting.
Those monkey dog men that raped the shit out of villagers? Probably just gnolls with some natural armor.
Those big motherfuckers that he struggles to kill? Just ogres or trolls.
Fucking level 3 fighters kill those things quite handily in Golarion.
He was even struggling to defeat what passed for a draconic bloodrager and had to pull out his deus ex armor to fight it.
Another thing to consider is that he uses mundane bombs, crossbow bolts and cannon shots to great effect all of which are laughably ineffective at higher levels of the game.
I know the new anime is your first time being exposed to Berserk, but I guess its a slight improvement that you arent creating who would win threads anymore.
