Pathfinder General /pfg/

I see nothing wrong except the wasps?

I'm hoping I can squeeze one last session out of the group before the new year, but unfortunately this week is going to be a miss due to being exactly on Christmas.

Honestly, probably because she was introduced back when the Gods still had a shred of something interesting about them. She's not so different from, say, Zeus or Hera or one of the other Olympian Gods, and back at the start that wasn't so bad.

But ever since then Paizo's stacked on so much lore--not the last of which that she actually has Antipaladins--that they might as well just make her evil.

Then again, Paizo also makes Iomedae do evil shit, so it's clear that they just don't understand morality. To them, you're not really evil if you're chaotic, you're just a "free spirit."

Almost all the rules are free.

Weeb-OP-user, you always pull the freshest pixiv stuff for us. I'm on to you!

W-why? What made you regret it?

Just... how is she not evil? The only thing she ever did that was remotely good or even neutral was helping lock Rovagug away, and that hardly counts because even evil deities helped.

Well every Chaotic Neutral god logically has anti-paladins.
Because grapple is a bitch, and no one actually fucking plays at levels where freedom of movement is online.

Also shadows.

It's important to remind people dumping stats has consequences. Nothing like some ego whips to get everybody sweating.

23 pound light load, a total inability to use non-finesse weapons, and the knowledge that a single Shadow would ravage the character before he could possibly be saved, since it only needs to roll average across two touches to kill him and turn him into another Shadow.

Yeah, Paizo really is retarded when it comes to morality. The only evil they know is cartoonish ham-fisted MUAHAHAHAHA evil. So logically, everything that isn't that must be at least neutral.

This.

I don't know where the stat dumped wizard meme comes from. The only stat I see dumped out the ass erry time is Charisma.

Daisho expertise bumps the katana damage die to 1d10, not 2d6. It's "one step" not "one size", there's an important difference.

But one of my characters was going to be a Primal warrior stance using kitsune that used daisho+mulebacks+zeniths for a big iaido for maximum weeb memes.It was also going to use guile points, inspiration and versatile performance to pump sense motive even higher.

I'm cancer

I've played a lot of PFS in the past and let me tell you, stat-dumping is rampant there.

Charisma 7 is the usual offender, but you also see a lot of Int 7, since the only skills you need are Perception and some form of Profession/Craft/Perform at reasonable scores. And of course every Paladin dumps Wis to 7 for those sweet extra points in Charisma.

The most minmaxy character I played had three stats at 7 and never really suffered for it.

I want kitsunefags out of my containment thread.

I'm going with a str of 8, how fucked am I?
How common are shadows? Freedom of movement might be an option through the fate sphere.

It can only be described as a buffet.
>this is why we're fat

I tend to end up with far more high-average scores.
I'll turn that 18 into a 16 and have nothing below 12.

So /pfg/, if piercings are automatically evil, is it a scale? Three piercings take you down one step towards either Chaotic or evil, thee more another, until a dozen down the road even the most LG paladin is a CE sadomasochist? Should certain piercings count more? What about magical piercings?

1d10 only exists as a step for weapons that start at 1d10.

Since the katana starts at 1d8, one step up does mean 2d6, since every two step increment doubles a weapon's damage dice except for 1d8 -> 3d6, and one step down from 1d8 is 1d6.

Those are size steps, not damage die steps. Size steps are two damage die steps usually.

Are there any rules for turning the things you kill into food?

I have not seen that chart before. I thought there were separate 1d8 and 1d6 tracks for the actual size steps. You were right

Probably just like a knowledge check to make sure you aren't about to eat something poisonous or something.

I know that there was a paste bin with cooking mechanics. But nothing specific for monsters.

Fuck you.

So which of you anons were blurbing about desert elves with fennec ears months/years ago? My planned sketches have them with actual furry animal ears and not giant hairless ears.

Gonna try to tackle it in some way during holiday downtime.

The basics were that you got the benefits of the run feat as well as a+1 circumstance bonus to physical based checks for an hour if you eat anything made from a dc10 profession cook check.

That would be what I'd expect from something more like DC 25--this is sounding a little OP at first glance.

The fuck is OP about fucking run?

Oh man, you ate some fucking tasy cereal so you can swim slightly better. So goddamn broken.

You disgust me.

It's the bonus to "physical based checks" that gives me concern, but I'm reserving judgement 'till someone elaborates on what higher checks give.

Because she's a sex goddess and sex goddesses can't also be evil. She's just wild and carefree, and if you get hurt by her it's your fault!

Tee-hee!

Reverse ACP, I'd think. Broad and helpful but with the exception of Stealth most of those skills have low, easy to hit DCs.

Skill checks that take str dex or con

And raw attribute checks too

Nourished

A nourished character can run as if she possessed the Run feat, and is granted a +1 circumstance bonus to Strength and Dexterity based checks, as well as a +4 circumstance bonus vs effects that cause fatigue or exhaustion. Becoming fatigued or doing anything that would cause fatigue removes this condition. Otherwise, it fades after one hour.

More coming

Profession (Cooking)

You are skilled at preparing exceptionally nourishing meals.

Check:Preparing a meal has a DC of 10 (for a decent meal), 20 (good meal), 30 (extraordinary meal), or 40 (legendary meal). You need ingredients, and a suitable kitchen or equivalent work space. Without a proper kitchen, you take -4 on your cooking check. Cooking without ingredients is impossible.

Decent Meal:Pretty standard fare. A decent meal grants the nourished condition

Good Meal:A good meal, the kind you could expect to find in a particularly expensive restaurant or luxurious inn. In addition to the effects of the nourished condition, a good meal grants a +1 circumstance bonus on fort saves for the condition's duration.

Extraordinary Meal:An incredible meal, the like of which most people will experience only rarely, unless they are quite wealthy. In addition to the effects of a good meal, an extraordinary meal grants 1d8 temporary hit points.

Legendary Meal:A meal of legendary quality. As word gets around of your skill, kings will fight to have you in their kitchens, and beings from other planes will seek you out to experience your masterful creations. A legendary meal grants the nourished condition, as well as a +2 circumstance bonus to all saves, and d8 + (Cook's HD) temporary hit points. Such a meal is so good that creatures who taste it can't bear the thought of dying without tasting it again.

Action:Preparing a meal takes one hour, although a particularly intricate or important meal may take longer, at the GM's discretion.

Try Again:Yes, but every time you prepare a meal any ingredients used are consumed.

Years of not having Christmas due to military service removed all meaning from holidays for me. Now it just feels awkward as I have to pretend they're anything other than another day in the week to me.

Okay, so way, way less exploitable than I'd feared. That's actually really cool, kinda makes me want to make a Toriko-style monk now.

Think we could swing a Knife And Fork Style feat chain?

Free grapple attempts with a trident, gain bonuses to slashing attacks vs. foes grappled with the trident.

I don't know what to do with 17 skill ranks per level, god damn.

I know its not necessarily PF, but its close enough.

Anyone here have experience with Final Fantasy d20? I'm thinking about getting into a game of it, and would like to know what kind of problems and pitfalls it has, and how bad or better they are compared to PF

Swimming, climbing, survival and appraise!

I suppose I have reached this point.

Right now I'm planning on:
Knowledge (arcana)
Knowledge (dungeoneering)
Knowledge (local)
Knowledge (nature)
Knowledge (planes)
Knowledge (religion)
Knowledge (engineering)
Knowledge (geography)
Knowledge (history)
Knowledge (nobility)
Linguistics
Appraise
Craft (Alchemy)
Heal
Profession (Lecturer)
Profession (Researcher)
Spellcraft

I am considering switching and being part Mind Chemist instead of investigator. This is level 3 so I'll have +16 to all knowledge skills.

>Appraise and Heal
>No Perception
The hell is this

He's a professor, why would he be trained in perception?

But was the kitsune cute?

Because it is THE most important stat in the game.
Also, a professor should ideally have a decent Perception so as to aid him in experiments, minute measures, and catching students cheating on their exams

To notice signs of students cheating.

He should probably have Sense Motive too to deal with the bullshit all professors have to deal with from students.

What does his research concern?

They never made it past the initial backstory. This was what I was maybe planning on using for art.

They were that "ara~ara~" onee-san kitsune for RotJR that got posted about once, before shitposts, bullying and memes took over.

It was inevitable. I only regret poking the bear.

>Encounter with an oni nogitsune
>GM asks for will checks to avoid our characters falling in love with her
>Ask why there's furry-shit in this game
Is my GM some kind of closet furry?

Or this art actually. I could never decide.

No, it's just because she's trying to enchant you before she rips out your throat. Standard strategy for a monster of her type.

Don't let your kitsune memes be dreams!

That's a legit ability they have iirc

They're long over by now, cuteanon. The days of summer has waned and winter is upon me.

If he's a professor, he probably wears glasses. He wears glasses because he noticed his vision was bad, and he couldn't perceive as well. If he knows that and tries correcting it, he's training his Perception now, so he'd have some ranks in it!

>Official ability
I'd really question why my gay human who's only into other humans ends up suddenly attracted to fox ladies, but I guess I'll go with it.

Literal mind rape is why.
Enchantment effects are pretty skeevy when you think about 'em, aren't they?

Battle gormounds ASSEMBLE!!

I wouldn't mind role play with your Kitsune character anom, after all
I already have and it was fun

Our theme song: youtu.be/lzdOqWm6U6Q?t=11

>I already have and it was fun
What did he mean by this?

>Being mind raped into being a furry
This is extreme horror material for me
I like this. It's somehow more effective than a lot of Call of Cthulu stuff

Enchantment magic fucks people up man.
I had a NE character that preyed on people that he mind fucked and toyed with the psychology of "I didn't mean it" convincing people what He made them do is what they wanted all along.
I was fun

>Tfw you were considering the mind sphere but are reconsidering it now.
Am I falling for a meme?

A mechanically-enforced way to revoke or bend free will is not a meme.
Whether you use enchantment for that express purpose or for other ways is your choice. It's got some pretty good buffs if you don't want to go the Charm/Dominate route.

>making a character who has a familiar and an animal companion
>he is also an animal
>literally just three animals

I should have stopped long ago, but the rabbit hole only goes deeper.
It's funny because the familiar is a rabbit

>Fox and rabbit
>Foxes eat rabbits
What's the animal companion? It better eat foxes Or be a cabbage

>tfw our entire three hour session was a player slowly talking about his fiancé and wedding

We learned more about the venue and the specific craft beers he's going to serve than why we're in goddamn Kalsgard.

>people calling DHB a degenerate
>characters he's made are Human/Dwarf/Hobgoblin
>tfw there are kitsune, dickgirl tieflings, and more bullshit and we target the autist playing a dwarf

I was debating some kind of Big Cat, like a Lion or Tiger, but I haven't decided. Might go for a small cat instead, since it'd be kind of hard to disguise a tiger using the Transformation feat as a catfolk if it's large-sized

aren't you the anom that was test rping the character a week or so ago? If not, very similar "ara ara" type that someone else was playing then.

See

This image does things to me.

I am, and sort of regret it.

you know, regret would fit if you felt like your reputation was tarnished. But this is an anonymous thread man. If you had fun, you had fun. Why feel bad about it?
I know I had fun

Does anyone have a picture of the page from Villain Codex with the feat that's "toughness, but for skills"

Isnt the villain codex in the trove?

It is, just pick it up there.

Was mostly trying to avoid sifting through five million pages of NPCs, because loading the doc lags my shitty computer

What do you mean?

Ah, got a toaster eh?
Can't help ya man, not home.

Do you remember what it was called?

That was actually the other thing, because not only would my computer probably lock up a few times, but I couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called

There is literally nothing wrong with cuteposting in this thread as long as it doesn't dominate the discussion!

What is the largest creature that has 8 HD or less?

Because she doesn't actively go out of her way to be a cunt. Much like Gorum, she is too wrapped up in her own deviations and schemes to care for actually being evil.

Found it!
