Only good fey
Is dead fey.
Jayden Cooper
You should take Magdh's Fey Obedience for +4 untyped to all Intelligence-based skill checks, perfect for any Orator, Student of Philosophy, Clever Wordplay/Cunning Liar, or empiricist!
Ryder Bennett
My big fat Int score tells me the only good fey is dead fey.
And my knowledge roll tells me these wings will burn quite nicely.
Caleb Perry
Trust a fey, ruin your day!
Jack Powell
Hey, so if my character just spent, like, three months in a cave lifting boulders and blushing bards, would my character's Strength score go up by +1?
Robert Brooks
>blushing bards
O-Oh my. What does this involve?
Bentley Fisher
Logically, prolly. Mechanically, I do not think so. Ask your DM.
Gabriel Hall
Hi, I have a question. I want to make a character that takes inspiration from Gambit and Twsited Fate, the whole card magic shenanigans. My question is. Does anyone have any builds or recomandation on how to build it?
Brayden Taylor
Only if retrain rules allow it.
Nathan Wilson
Nigga what does it sound like? I pick her up and put her down, or throw her on my back while I do mad squats.
Yeah, I thought so. This sucks balls, what's even the point in lifting if I can't get mad gains?
Ethan Walker
You are already bulked to hell If you start with high str, you can only maintain your gains with lifting
Jason Davis
But user, what about steroids? Are those a thing in the setting?
>Additionally, you are treated as one size category larger than you are and gain a +4 bonus on all saving throws made to resist the effects of wind while wearing a goz mask.
Friendly reminder that the only grammatically correct reading of this makes the goz mask increase your size category by one, for all purposes.
8,000 gp to become a big guy with a mask.
Caleb Carter
Mutation Warrior and Steelfist Commando sounds like the perfect gestalt for this character, he'll need Improved Initiative to always be on the Fight Plan and should have ties to Ghlaunder, the Mosquito Man.
Who knows? Maybe he's a GENETIC FREAK made in some Numerian laboratory by a Doctor that wasn't allowed to bring friends, and now that he's free he wants to be Starfall's reckoning.
Heck, mutagens give him low-light vision too, so he was born in the dark, molded by it!
Nicholas Phillips
...
Isaac Richardson
What if he's the big brother of Val?
You know, Val Baine?
Robert Nguyen
He needs darkvision to have darkness as his ally though.
Jose Murphy
Baneposting discipline commissioned with DSP when?
Benjamin Baker
Yeah, he could either be a Tiefling or Aasimar.
It's a shame he can't be an Ember-blooded Aasimar, but then again that would make him a real hot head and we can't have that here. Pass for Human Demon-blooded Tiefling sounds good, maybe trait into E. Flux so the Fire rises.
Jaxson Morris
>Update Apparently that's already a thing, but it's been held up just like ex aegis
Caleb Cook
Demon-Blooded Tiefling also gives you Shatter as a spell-like ability, perfect for breaking anything from doors to spines!
Ayden Garcia
Yeah but where is that Dee Double Vee Pee guy?
Chase Campbell
How would one emulate the Swordmaster / Myrmidon from the Fire Emblem series?
For those who don't know, they are low / no armored strikers that rely on their massive crit range and crit damage to drop their foes. They have low defenses, but have pretty solid dodge rates.
I was thinking about Kensai / Bladebound Magus because Shocking Grasp crits are devastating, and also MoMS 2 / Weapon Master X for Crane Riposte stuffs to emulate high dodge. I toyed around with going both put together (MoMS 2 / Magus X) but I feel that only makes the MAD issue worse.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I'm open to new ideas to emulate this too.
>Only Paizo official is allowed
Jace Davis
psst dont let the others know i told you but swashbuckler
Jason Rogers
This reference is a bit beyond me, are you talking about the Technic League agent that tried to steal Baine'a prize?
Also oh my gosh I want to really play this character now, shame he'd only really fit in Iron Gods!
Logan Perez
I'm not a huge fan of the Charisma aspects of him though. I would just ignore it but you NEED Cha for your Panache pool.
Joseph Anderson
Inspired Blade
Duelist PRC
Unchained monk with ascetic style
Grayson Bell
What about a Campaign in Andora to find the juiciest burger?
Chase Ward
Play him like a mix between Joshua from FE8 and Sain from FE7. Have him be a charismatic bad boy.
Liam Reed
I can dig it! A Molthunian colonel moving in to start up a chicken business might shake up the precarious peace between the local beef kings.
Blake Evans
>Burn
YES, GOOD
Dominic Cruz
Looking into these now
I could but I was looking to play someone a little more edgelordy. Like a mix of Karel (FE 7), Jaffar (FE 7), and Lon'qu (FE Awakening)
Nolan Harris
So I can go full Cirno now?
Elijah Cooper
Cirno a dumb!
Daniel Fisher
If I'm a druid going into a underdark campaign, should I still pick the weather domain for its OP spells or should I go earth domain? Mainly what I want to do is being a spellcaster with battlefield manipulation and some blasting spells
Nathaniel Bailey
>Now that the fairy First World book is out, what kind of fairy adventures do you want to run in the fairy First World, with all kinds of fairies and fairy Eldest, and maybe even fairy PCs?
Carnival of Tears pumped up to eleven.
Levi Cook
Sauce?
Oliver Wood
At least attempt to answer the question first
Owen Martinez
Weather's spell list is decent but sucks ass otherwise (Sorm burst does non-lethal and has pitiful damage, Lightning Lord is just ass despite sounding awesome.)
Earth is better, well, kinda. Acid dart is useless and Acid Resistance is worse than Resist Energy but at least better than Lightning Lord. Spell list is about equally decent.
Now give me my source.
Ethan Williams
Both are shit. Darkness is the best control (base)domain.
Jackson Diaz
The artist is Asanagi, I can't find the exact picture, but most of his drawings look similar.
Jace Turner
Posting for the third time. So I may soon be playing a Mythic Wizard.
I am going with Archmage, but am wondering what I should prioritize for my Mythic Feats/Powers.
First off I am grabbing Wild Arcana because it's simply fantastic.
For powers I am thinking of Arcane Enduring, Crafting Mastery, and Flexible School from Archmage as well as Longevity as a general power.
First off I am grabbing Mythic Extend Spell because Extend Spell a best. Also Mythic Spell Lore.
I think the likely mythic rank will be 4th (haven't hears for sure yet). What my choices mainly are geared towards is support. I will be grabbing buffing mythic spells and with extend & endurance my spells like quite a long time. As well the mythic crafting is to be able to supply my party with gear. I am still torn between a bonded object and familiar, but a valet familiar would help be craft.
Am I missing out of anything? Is there anything I should definitely grab instead?
Tyler Thomas
What would be the best way to build a Holy Vindicator of Shax? Oradin would seem like a cool way to do it, but I don't think you can be Lawful Good while also doing Shax's Demonic Obedience for Life in Blood.
Kevin Lewis
Anti-Oradin obviously. Antipaladin/Oracle. Just take a race that heals through negative energy, you suddenly are doubly as good as the Oradind because you also gain all the delicious bonuses to harmful channeling.
Oliver Lopez
Are Vanara cute? How cute are they?
Carter Jackson
Pick any other divine class than paladin? Jesus
Jordan Edwards
They look like Planet of the Apes apes. So not cute unless you are a fucking degenerate furry, in which case you should just kill yourself so you dad stops drinking and beating your mom for giving birth to you.
Thomas Howard
>Also Mythic Spell Lore. Mythic spell lore is worthless.
Reread it.
Then take Mythic Spell Feat in the universal powers list.
Christopher Nelson
Are you sure?
Cameron Wilson
I had considered that. Though unless I get DM approval I wouldn't be able to swift heal myself with Hand of Corruption. Still, it's not a bad option.
I'm looking for specifics here. The reason I mentioned Oracle/Paladin is because it's a great combo on it's own and also can satisfy the requirements. But I'm not looking to just satisfy the requirements, I want to have a good build that also satisfies them.
Samuel Bennett
Wow, it's just so much better.
Julian Gray
So a friend of mine is trying to get her group to not bitch about the idea of 3PP stuff, with them being of the sort who think rogues are overpowered because they can do "SO MUCH DAMAGE, GUYS".
Does anyone have any good pages to send over that demonstrates just why using 3PP is better than just Paizo. In particular PoW, SoP and Psionics want to be on the table.
Andrew Hughes
...better how I think you need to understand what you are trying to convince to your friends first
Lucas Wood
To be honest, Psionics is the only 3pp I would whole heated recommend with no real caveats except Psychic reformation.
Brayden Brown
It is. Mythic Spell Lore doesn't actually make the spells mythic. That means your 4d8 Scorching rays that ignore fire resistance can be countered with dispel magic cast by anyone and they mean absolutely dick to anything that is a mythic monster.
Michael Sanchez
My alchemist's full attack: Bite, Claw, Claw, Gore, Hoof, Hoof, Tentacle, Sting, Wing, Wing
Approximate Damage: 4d8+116d6+370 = 794 average damage
Carter Price
Would a headstrong, fiery young dwarf with a bit of a vain streak (under the logic that hard work is hard work, looking good is good is morale, so hard work to look gook inspires hard work in others, ipso facto makeup) and a chip on her shoulder believing the elders of her race are too busy looking into the past to secure their future be a suitable character for ROTJR, you think? Probably from Janderhoff or maybe Kalsgard; as far as class goes I was thinking Aurora Soul Mystic | Brawler, or possibly Unchained Monk; going for a sort of fast, hard unarmed combat style, lots of striking (in the martial arts sense, not the PoW sense) with fists, knees, etc and a decent amount of party support between the glyphs (probably fluffed as dwarven runes) and whatever I get off of the other half, which I'm still undecided on. Probably in Sandpoint to 'cool off' after her family suggested she need some time to do so when she got a little too uppity; would be willing to go on the Jade Regent bits to establish a NEW DWARVEN NATION over there, attract immigrants, build the first new skyhold in millenia, that sorta thing.
Justin Garcia
The party has a high-charisma bard and sorceress and is basically skating through my campaign on bullshit and too-clever-for-their-own-good plans miraculously being pulled out of the fire with copious amounts of disguises, lies and claims of influence.
So instead of cranking Sense Motive on everyone they meet, I've made a higher level retired Bard NPC to play THEM like a fiddle. They think this butler literally just came with their new house. Petty or not petty or mega petty? What can I do with this for the maximum amount of fuckery? I haven't come up with the gameplan for this character yet.
Jonathan Allen
Sounds good to me. Also female dorfs are naturally thicc.
Joseph Rivera
So last time I had an issue like this I introduced the players to a murder mystery. I then wrote on a piece of paper who in the murder mystery were dopple gangers, sealed it, and handed it to a player so no take backsies.
The players ended up being tricked by two separate dopplegangers into thinking they weren't dopplegangers.
Jayden Myers
Mega petty. Have him guide the nation into war and misery through them. Later reveal him to have been serving as butler to the BBEG. Make it apparent at some point that Butler had traitorously set BBEG up to fail and get killed against them when they finally raid his castle.
Butler's spy network and thieves' guild capitalize on unrest and depleted resources to claim the throne while they're out, as the long-lost third heir to the crown.
Leo Watson
Well there's- >Only Paizo official is allowed
Well shit man. Uh... Slayer? The swashbuckler is a neat class as a concept, but it just falls apart due to how it's designed. It's trapped in one of the worst fighting styles with very little to make it "worth" using compared to even just a standard fighter, nowadays.
Jaxson White
Actually, thinking about it, does the aurora soul's defensive soul class feature and the monk's ac bonus class feature stack? They're both wis to ac, but aurora soul's is TECHNICALLY a conditional and I think conditionals are suppoed to stack; but after the whole fiasco with inquisitor's wis twice to social skills I'd rather ask than assume.
Tyler Clark
Wasn't there a mask in Steelforge that inverted the negative effects of poisons while it was worn or something?
Colton Thompson
Sword Saint Samurai does it better.
Nolan Miller
Which Psion class do I want for Lambda?
Joshua Stewart
What would be a good archetype combination for a Cleric/Cavalier(or Samurai, I guess) multiclass? Was thinking Daring Champion or Huntmaster might be interesting, but I'm not so sure about what Cleric archetypes would pair well. If Order's important, I want to go for Order of the Star.
Cameron Stewart
Psychokineisis.
Though desu, She'd be a Psy arm just looking at her.
Tyler Gomez
Reminder that there are MULTIPLE people playing core-only games as Swashbucklers at this exact moment.
Jacob Cooper
Doesn't the ability damage stay? And every time you take the potion, it gets hit again?
Henry James
And HAVING FUN doing it.
I know I am.
Robert Wood
The ability damage is there, but it heals faster than the addiction goes away.
Ian Bailey
There are exactly ZERO people playing Swashbuckler in core-only games, because Swashbuckler is not a core class.
Core only means core only. It does NOT mean all paizo material is allowed, moron.
Jason Walker

>multiclassing with a caster Is this not an unwritten rule?
Parker Edwards
Can they spin?
Cameron Martin
It's a fucking cleric, it can afford to lose some levels to Cavalier.
It's only an unwritten rule for people who froth at the mouth over inefficiency.
Parker King
Honestly a Cleric who gives up like 40% of his progression would still be ahead of say a Ranger right up to 20th level. It's not better than Cleric 20 but if you don't need high-op to pull your weight, why not fuck around a little?
Parker Myers
Cleric 1-4 is a worse spell list than ranger 1-4.
Josiah Johnson
That's true, the only thing I was considering though was trying to see if Inquisitor or Warpriest with an archetype on it could do the same
Thomas Russell
No - it has all the useful self-buff combat spells in it.
You know, the very basis of CoDzilla?
Mason Roberts
You realize that self buffing is something that often falls apart due to the rocket tag structure of pathfinder combat. You can't take 3 rounds to buff yourself if combat ends in 2. This means you need to rely on 10 min/level & hour/level buffs. The cleric 1-4 hour per level buffs are a poor affair and you don't have the CL to make min/level to the extra mile to carry over into the next combat.
CoDzilla is a bad meme because it misrepresents clerics.
Aiden Gray
Great, now explain that to the idiots who still claim CoDzilla is a thing despite the math proving them wrong.
Angel Clark
Which is why the number given was 40%, not 60%. Cleric with 6th level spells really is significantly better than Ranger.
Aaron Mitchell
Also you fuck yourself over for CL dependent buffs like greater magic weapon and magic vestments. If you're at 40% progression you're only CL 8. That means it's a +2, otherwise known as useless.
Brayden Sanders
Ah read it at 40% progression, not giving up 40%. Gonna say that even then the cleric spell list is actually not that great without the proper domains. It has a ton a holes on both the utility and general problem solving streets.
Asher James
Is the mooncursed barbarian archetype any good? And if so, which animal form should you take?
Caleb Perry
A big cat like a tiger or something is a braindead simple one, since it automatically gets pounce and a good number of natural attacks (bite, 2 claws, 2 rakes).
The archetype itself is... It's alright, I guess? It does its job, even though it should probably get more "rage" rounds to compensate for being a bit weaker overall.
Carson Harris
So give it proper domains, we're not building a theoretical worst-usage-case-possible here.
Eli Anderson
Hey, if you want to check something out that works similarly to what you proposed without actually multiclassing, check out the Divine Commander archetype for Warpriest
