Pathfinder General /pfg/

Is there a 1pp way to get Int to melee attack rolls? I want to make a SAD Empiricist Investigator, and that's one of the main things standing in my way.

white haired witch

>stockings on tentacles

why boner? I didn't even know I had this fetish

Is there a way that isn't just for Combat Maneuvers?

Many thanks, I have saved this now.
Now I just need to decide what magus specific feats I'm gonna get.

Don't bother getting all the archery feats for eldritch archer magus, as they suffer from 3/4 BAB.

Balance it out with crafting feats, and spell focus, school focus feats to make your spellstrikes more potent.

Intensify Spell, Empower Spell, Rime Spell, Spell Perfection (Snowball)

>tfw no maid cohort

So could anyone tell me why Kitsune are really common and around Pathfinder alot? I know they're of Japanese mythology of pretty and attractive people who have fox/kanid features who love to play jokes and tricks with their magic.

But when ever I see a Pathfinder thread or anything relating to it, why do I see Kitsune so VERY often? Has Pathfinder popularized them or something?

No, /pfg/ is just plagued by kitsunefanatics. Just ignore them.

Oh, my sweet summer child. Your innocence is refreshing.

Flee.

Cancerous memes.

>all-maid party

Nah. Never gonna happen, BECAUSE:

>there's a guy who always plays Wizard
>there's his sister, who always plays something with Wild Shape or an equivalent
>there's one guy who always plays some ridiculous skillmonkey, usually Knowledge-based
>there's one guy who always plays a sneeki breeki DEX class, varying levels of edge
>and then there's me

if your GM doesn't let you apply it to your attack roles, the prehensile hair hex will also work

We have a surplus of these.

Crossover from /jp/.

Drow aren't that popular anymore since 4E came out.

Core races are too boring.

Template races are too hard to work with.

The problem with elves, is that they only come in 3 flavors.

>spell focus/school focus
aren't those/that bad?
It's like a +1 to your DC, off the top of my head.
Crafting feats is 100% worth considering if nobody else is taking it, since this AP is pretty low on items you can get.
Don't I not get /the/ most important spell to craft a wand of, cure light wounds, though?
what else is near that tier of important, btw? especially that a magus gets.

>vanilla
>chocolate
>blueberry

>aren't those/that bad?
>It's like a +1 to your DC, off the top of my head.

a 5% increase is not bad if you're a crowd control build magus. Makes your spells harder to resist.

If evocation though, they suck.

3E gave us a little more variety.

There's more flavors than you would think, user.

>pictured: 10 not-elves and 2 elves

California Gold & Turkish Rosewater a best

None of those are elves.

I was mainly considering going pretty much evocation, but I'll probably be allowed to change once I actually start playing with the character. (if by some god awful reason I make a super polarizing decision this early)
Also, we're starting at one so it's not like I can't get a good feel on the party before I set myself into anything.
was mainly considering evocation purely so my next character could be just 100% control "god" wizard

The first and last clearly are, you can see the ears.

>Bedouin Dreams
Time to fap to that LadiesXButlers OVA again

>So could anyone tell me why Kitsune are really common and around Pathfinder alot?

I don't know why. Its clear that Fae Catboys are superior.

I didn't notice that sea elves got an improvement of the FRCS version.

I'm going to play Rebirth Discipline Psychic after my Sorcerer retire.

At level 11, I can steal up to 4th level spell from my chosen class, one spell per day.

So.. which class is the most ripe and best for poaching? Are there any cool "discount" spell from Paladin / Ranger / Summoner list?

Greater Angelic Aspect from the Paladin list has saved my ass (and my allies) innumerable times. Flight, bonuses to AC and saves, immunities/resistances, and auto-dispel to any spell of 3rd level or lower from an evil source. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Didn't notice the new thread so reposting

> now that I think about it I've never not run a gish. Ever. In /any/ system. What the fuck

WHATS WRONG PUSS WHAT KIND OF FAGGOT DOESN'T WANT TO DO 1 BILLION HP DAMAGE WITH A KEEN SCIMITAR + SHOCKING GRASP
I BET YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE SUPPORT FAGS THAT CAST HASTE EVERY COMBAT AND TOUCH ITSELF EVERY TIME YOU MAKE A "WALL OF STONE" SO YOU CAN DEBUFF YOUR OPPONENTS INSTEAD OF PLAIN KILLING THEM

CROWD CONTROL IS FOR PUSSIES REAL MEN BLOW SHIT UP AND DO INFINITE HP DAMAGE IN A ROUND

WHILE YOU ARE THERE USING GLITTERDUST LIKE A FUCKING FAIRY AND THEN SWITCHING TO YOUR CROSSBOW TO "SAVE SLOTS" I AM FUCKING THAT SLUT OF BBEG WITH BY RAVING HIS ASS WITH MY ELECTROCUTING KATANA WHAT KIND OF FAGGOT DOESN'T EVER WANT TO PLAY A GISH BANG FUCKING FRIED EACH AND EVERYONE ONE OF THE PATHETIC BOSSES WHILE YOU ARE STILL TRYING TO BYPASS THE SR BANG BANG EVERYONE DEAD AND I JUST BEEN USING MY LEVEL ONE SPELLS WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS DID I JUST CASTED A FIREBALL AND THEN CUT ALL THE CRYSPY MOTHERFUCKERS IN THE SAME ROUND I MUST BE FUCKING CARRYING LIKE 20 METAMAGIC RODS OF QUICKEN NO WAIT I JUST DID IT BECAUSE I AM A FUCKING MAGUS WHILE YOU FAGGOT STILL THINGS YOU ARE HOT SHIT BECAUSE YOU CASTED ENLARGE PERSON IN THE BARBARIAN YOU GOT DAMN JOCK COCKSUCKER NERD

Oh nice! Thanks for the recommendation!

No problem. Runner-up is also Eaglesoul from the same list, which is much better for use on the offensive, but probably wouldn't serve your 1/2 BAB Psychic nearly as well as Greater Angelic Aspect. Plus, you get to look like an angel, which is rad.

What about Litany of Vengence? We have a monk and a summoner in the party. So that will probably help increase their damage output significantly.

Probably work with Telekinesis too right?

This might be silly, but does pfg know any good sites for gms that are good for making maps or what have you?

Or, I could play some initiator and specialize in Scarlet Throne.

That requires less set up.

Not a site, but I hear Tiled is a good program for making maps.

Your monk will thank you on hands and knees for that extra damage (give him my condolences for choosing to be a monk), and a natural-attack blender certainly won't be worse off for it. It would work with Telekinesis too-- anything that qualifies as an attack, including spell effects that have an attack roll.

The only reason I never used Litany of Vengeance is that it only lasts 1 round, so the +5 to damage doesn't really stack up unless you're all properly gangbanging one guy. If that's the case, you probably don't need that damage bonus anyway. Plus, Paladins usually have better things to do with their swift actions. Would probably work better for your own setup, though.

Hey there, /pfg/

Can I get some more input and criticisms for my homebrew class, the Empyrius? I'd gladly appreciate it.

Its an offense/support class based loosely on the Tactician and the Vitalist with a flavor of warlock.

His main draw is his ability to deal damage , debuff and deliver support buffs all in one turn.

Alright so I know this was probably asked a few times a year ago, but what would be some of the better ways to ago about making a Bloodborne Hunter in Pathfinder? I have a group looking to play Strange Aeons soon and I figured it would be solid enough idea for the setting.

For simplicity sake I am going to mimic the Boom Hammer from the DLC (just a Flaming Burst Earthbreaker or something of the like) or Blades of Mercy, so I'm mostly looking for how to replicate monster hunting and potentially ways to heal myself.

Also are there any relatively simple ways to be efficient with a gun that doesn't involve putting 5 god forsaken levels in Gunslinger? Seriously whoever decided Gun Training should be at 5th over 2nd/3rd is a complete cockwaffle and should be hanged by their toes.

DM allows a limited amount of 3rd party content, mostly DSP related. Anything else needs to be discussed. Our party is currently a Sorcerer, Barbarian, and Shaman.

In Guns Everywhere, Slingers get it at 1st level.

Failing that, Trench Fighters get Gun Training at 3rd.

Not everyone has played Bloodborne.

What do Hunters do?

They hunt, you silly goose.

They slay beasts (and later in the game Eldritch Monstrosities) with a combination of tools, transformative weapons, and guns.They use silver bullets, healing potions, and items that give temporary buffs like flaming or shocking to their weapons. All in all pretty much the culmination of medieval monster hunting tropes.

When people see bloodborne, they think of a few things.

Their trick weapons, which either have two forms or some kind of special ability to them.

Their offhand firearms.

Or the dodging/sidestepping.

OR THE BLUUUUUUHD

youtu.be/Vn05qpn2e1Y

Run an Unchained Monk. The flurry of blows from that doesn't have the arbitrary natural weapons restriction.

Is Create Greater Mindscape a good spell for a boss fight? You could make it into a dead magic zone. And play hide and seek with the BBEG while your buddy beat him/her body up (or you could bring one or two muscle inside the mindscape with you to keep the BBEG busy).

Is there such a thing as a viable 1pp PRC?

Anything with full casting progression.

There are plenty of PrCs that are viable. Some of them are good, even. Just like with regular multiclassing, you can't just slap them on a random character and expect things to work out.

I just wish the Lion Blade was easier to prestige into and was a bit better at it's job.

None of that precludes them from being maids.

Are there pdfs of Strange Aeons yet? I need.

So, /pfg/, has anyone played Forrest's Spellburst Savant yet? What are some good spells to slap Magical Lineage into? Any other metamagic enhancers?

Edge maid?

The screen shots look neat. I'm checking it out.

Savage Technologist gets gun training and manages to mix guns with melee really damn well.

Is Witch PrC into Eldritch Knight any good? How is it compare to Wizard?

Witches are very effective at it because they get 90% of the best debuffs and a slew of supernatural abilities that make very good utility effects as well as buff/debuffs.

I cannot tell you how many times being able to use the healing hex has made NPCs look more kindly upon my party.

Misfortune and Evil Eye don't scale with EK level though. I guess it's better to focus on Fortune and other buff hex?

Misfortune, Evil Eye, Healing, and Fortune only scale to limited point anyways. As long a they get the 8th level boost, they're good. Alternatively, use the hexes for utility (flight, prehensile hair, charm, cauldron, etc.) and concentrate on the spells for your buff/debuff (especially if you take the Patron of Strength, whih gives you the best clerical buff spells).

EK is pretty shit about 90% of the time.

For a fighty witch, you are better off going Hexcrafter.

However, in case you must, white hair witch actually meshes pretty well with EK.

I'm looking to get a mount. It needs to match a few criteria. Can you guys help me out?
The mount needs to be big enough to comfortably transport 2 medium characters and a small character along with all our shit without the need for a cart or something similar. Upper end Large or Huge, probably.
It also needs to be able to stay out of trouble when it's left alone by either having some kind of potent defensive ability of by being smart enough to not get killed or stolen.
Lastly it needs to be reasonable so no basilisks or whatever.
Otherwise it can be anything within reason. I'm a level 5 monster hunter type character so I could have feasibly tamed a bunch of shit or raised a youngling after slaying it's mother. I suppose I could've simply bought it too. The creature's speed is unimportant, by the way, it's just gotta be real big and have a good STR.
Suggestions?

Can someone explain me what's so good about linnorm style that everybody seems to be recommeding it to increase damage on monks? because I don't see it.

Elephant?

Bind a nighmare and then a cauchemar later on

Go to Unchained Monk.
You don't need styles at all for damage boosts, only for the buffs they provide outside of damage.

We're going to play a high level campaign. So anything that can't cast 9th level spell is automatically shit.

I'm 8th level unchained monk with 20 str and elbow smash (the one from the previous thread that deals 21 on average) and I don't get why some people recommended me that style to increase my damage per turn.

Then don't go Eldritch Knight, go Arcane Archer or Arcane Trickster.

Possibly because it increases your damage per turn?

>First feat uses Wis instead of Str
>Second feat gives you a +2 to hit
>Third feat if you allow to get hit you get an AoO

The 3rd feat at best, the rest don't increse my damage, in fact if I use the first I reduce my damage because like I said my Str is 20 and my Wis is 16. Also if I want to increase my damage I have to get hit constantly and that's rather suicidal.

That's a bit... bland, don't you think?

Me not that kind of orc, user.

> Arcane Archer
> Lost 3 caster level
> Witch qualify for it at level freaking 12
Better be a single class witch at that point. Your BAB is already shit.

> Arcane Trickster
> Mage Hand
> Witch

It also minimizes the damage of the hit. A 3d6 becomes a 3 instead of a 10.5. NPCs don't stack as many static bonuses as PCs (usually). You also only need to allow 1 attack to hit a turn, which the highest BAB attack is very likely to anyway.

Well, if you go 3 feats in you increase your damage by dealing more attacks nobody said it was a good idea but it does what you want increase damage ;^)

Linnorm Style lets you replace Str or Dex bonus to damage with Wis bonus to damage by taking a -2 AC penalty.

Linnorm Vengaunce (+6 bab bonus) gives you +2 on attacks to anyone who has successfully hit you last round. If they miss, you can let them hit you, take minimum damage, and then get the _2 attack bonus anyways. If an enmy knocks you out, you gget a free action for one retaliatory attack before going unconscious/dying.

Chances are good you may not actually need the style feat.

Unchained monks REALLY don't need the extra damage style feats give for the penalties they inflict.

>Chances are good you may not actually need the style feat.
Everybody says 21 damage without counting magic items and the extra attack with ki (because lets face it I have 7 ki points, and 2 a day are going to bark skin for sure so 5 extra attacks a day shouldn't be taken into account because they aren't a reliable damage output) is absolutely nothing so that's why I asked. So far Dragon Style and Dragon Ferocity seem to be the most useful, but they're still 2 feats.

>Eastern setting
>Play magus like samurai
>Use wooden sandals like pick related
>GM decides to give me penalties to balance and stealth just because
>Ask him why
>"They're fuckign wooden sandals, that's why"
>Strike 1
Then people complain about optimization and picking the best stuff instead of "what's cool". Fuck you, Dave, I hope you're reading this.

"What's cool" is a stupid meme that needs to die in this system, if you want "cool" you should go play 5e.

Here, at the big boy table of esteemed gentlemen, we create perfection.

>21 average damage
That's actually fucking shit, how do you deal so little with 20 Str and elbow smash?

Why would a Bluff bonus from Pageant of the Peacock apply to Diplomacy?

Maybe I'm doing my math wrong but lets check this again.
Damage in one hit: 1d10+5(str)+6(power attack)+1(trait) = 17.5
BaB: 8
Flurry (with PA penalties): +10/+10/+5 + elbow smash
Against CA 22 (average CA of a CR 8 monster)
(1d10+5+6+1) x (9/20+9/20+4/20+4/20x9/20) = 20.825

Is something wrong in my maths?

Counting the extra attack if I spend ki (which again would only be like 5 times a day) = 28.7

>penalizing purely aesthetic character choices

your GM can go climb a wall of cocks

Would you penalize a character who said they wore a solid metal bucket over their head but still had all their normal vision?
Or a 12 strength character who said they wanted to swing around a weapon the size of a street lamp even if it only had normal greatsword reach and damage?

>My character wears high heels like these!

1) Yes, unless they poked holes in it then it would be standard helmet rules.
2) No, unless it was over his weight limit.

How this is even a debate escapes me, I feel like I'm missing vital information.
