Dawn of the New Year, and a new path laid before us Edition
As we say farewell to the tumult of 2017, we look forward with furtive glances towards the coming new year, as a new road with new chances and opportunities opens up for us. For on this night, we join and think of the new year, and resolve to make changes as the world renews its solar cycle.
Share with us, oh fellow brothers, about thine own New Years Resolutions for Pathfinder in the year 2017.
Decided to go back and tinker a bit with an archetype I worked on a while ago.
The Futurist: A construct and firearm-based summoner archetype that trades out the Eidolon in favor of buffing Summon Monster (When you only have one instance of it going, to prevent it getting too silly numbers-wise).
Feedback highly appreciated. This is still in Alpha.
Hudson Powell
I mean. Overall, warlocks in 3.5 weren't really that, and neither is the avowed. "Someone else made a deal, and you reaped the benefits" is one of the explicit possibilities within both the warlock and the avowed. The books also listed a bunch of other possibilities, ranging from gifts, study, radiation poisoning...
In addition, for the avowed, for many pacts, it's "someone poked you with a seed of power, and then your power grew from that starting point." Less 'sold my soul for talent' and more 'nen baptism', in a sense (if you read/watch Hunter x Hunter).
When Avowed 2's SkyMarket appendix comes out (likely once we get the full beta of it out; currently finishing up the stuff for A2's alpha), it's going to include examples of alternate fluffs and backgrounds for avowed. An in-depth handbook to refluffing the class, with examples on all points of the snowflake scale.
Perhaps that'll be up your alley.

Dylan Miller
Explain to me how Roll20 applications tend to work.
Owen Cox
I'm like 90% sure she's taking a cyber-knot on regular basis.
William Bennett
You post your character's backstory, general information and any other pertinent information in the appropriate thread, and then... Wait, really.
Robert Thompson
Post a character concept, interact with people, if the DM doesn't hate you he'll tell you you're in and send you a join link
Sebastian Cox
So do you usually also choose feats, make stats, etc as well, or is that after you get admitted?
Christopher Price
I want my character to die heroically to save his friends!
Kayden Ortiz
Nah, you typically make the entire sheet and post it as part of the application.
Alexander Jackson
Man, making Nveryll has been fun.
I should get to making my own campaign, too.
Isaiah Flores
My resolution?
I'm never falling for the 8-player-party meme ever again, nor am I ever making a game without an application process ever again.
Jayden Parker
Resolutions are doomed to fail and I would be a fool to make them.
Leo Watson
Nveryll is a sweetheart and I want to see her happy! What's her ideal afternoon? Her ideal man?
Sebastian Baker
>I love tinkering with machines >And getting tinkered by them too
Leo Campbell
I dunno if she is but I sure would.
Matthew Barnes
What?
Christian Morgan
He's saying he loves to work on machines, and then make the machines fuck him silly.
Tyler Harris
The robotics club president from SYD
She got into the subject for... reasons.
Ayden Johnson
I really hope you and I both get in, Nveryll seems like such a cutie. Also, what sort of campaign would you be interested in running? Would it be cute?
>ideal man Nveryll is pure, she doesn't need men! All she needs is perfectly platonic headpats and people to make icecream with!
Kevin Murphy
Every woman needs a man, just as every man needs a woman! She might never bed the man, but she'll certainly enjoy his headpats and wise council!
Jeremiah Taylor
My Pathfinder resolution is to find a build that's fun and can support a group.
Eli White
I want my character to be annoying to enemy and ally alike and die in a spite fuelled explosion that annoys the most people possible in character!
Nathaniel Butler
My Pathfinder resolution is to finish my applications for Molthune Knights and the Dragons campaign! The former because I'm oh so stubborn, and the latter because SwimmingEagle shares the exact same kinks I do, and I think I'd be in paradise with him at the helm.
Tyler Stewart
Erastil go.. uh... get yourself another beer. It's new year's eve and the no-laugh special is starting up later.
Luis Clark
My resolution is to actually DM something.
Luke Hall
So... a bard, then?
Caleb Flores
Headpats are gateway drug to heavy petting.
Julian Hughes
YOU ARE IMPLYING THIS IS NOT A PLASTERED ERASTIL?
Camden Miller
I KNEW MY STEPDAD WOULD BE GETTING HIS DUMB ASS DRUNK ON NEW YEARS. IT'S A FAKE HOLIDAY ANYWAY, IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY CLOSER TO ULTIMATE OBLIVION AND NONE OF IT GODSDAMNED MATTERS.
BASTARD STOLE MY EYESHADOW TOO.
Michael Flores
I've always been easy with giving praise, are you telling me there are women out there so thirsty for praise that they'll do anything for a firm headpat and whisper of "good girl?"
Wyatt Flores
YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH WHEN MEN ARE TALKING, BOY. YOU NEED A FIRM HAND AND A GENTLE WOMAN.
Caleb Diaz
Rather, there are some who just like their beloved will cherish such moments.
Kevin Kelly
Yyyep.
William Morris
New chapter FYI. someone finally started translating it again. It's warmness.
Jason Reed
>you mean my grandpa...? Wh-what's that? It looks like a wonderful mixture of cute and sad. Is there more?
Angel Wright
Anything is a wide term, let's say they would do a plenty.
Leo Campbell
She's immortal, her perception of time doesn't align very well with regular human lifespan. And yeah, it's a whole short story.
Ryan Cox
If there's no bedding why does it need to be a man? Why can't a lady just get headpats and wise council from her woman friend?
Camden Green
It's a oneshot called Fox Daughter.
It's kind of sad.
Samuel Bennett
SHUT UP ERASTIL, YOU'RE A RELIC WHO NEEDS TO GET HIS HEAD OUT OF THE GROUND
NOTHING MATTERS AT ALL, AND WE'RE ALL JUST FLOATING IN EMPTY BULLSHIT TRAGEDY.
Cooper Rodriguez
Yeah, that part was obvious,I just need more of it.
Did you cry?
Ayden Nguyen
Actually, come to think of it, wasn't Erastil good friends with Thron, the Wolf God who sired Shelyn and Dou Bral?
Wouldn't that make him essentially like a surrogate uncle to the two of them?
Kayden Murphy
>Ideal Afternoon Probably a winter afternoon resting on a pile of silver, where nothing goes wrong and all Molthune is at peace.
She is a dragon of simple pleasures.
>Ideal man Oh, someone with huge wings! Scales hard like shaped ice! A tail that could level a building! The kind of subzero cold you want to nestle up in, and who keeps the ice cream cold, you know?
She is a dragon of simple pleasures.
I am actually a very evil person, so I'd probably make an evil campaign! Maybe undead themed. I wish there was a better way to make undead PCs besides overpowered templates.
Adrian Jackson
Erytiem.
In all seriousness, there's a lot more sad than cute, I feel.
Joseph Gray
>someone applied to dragons with their f-list profile
Asher Parker
GOD FIGHT! GOD FIGHT!
Nolan Lopez
Maybe they could all be Dhampir and the like?
Imagine an entire party of Saturday Morning Cartoon villains with silly motives and diabolical laughter.
How do I Mad Scientist, /pfg/?
Ryan Ramirez
Aroden, fuck off back to Blue Man Group.
Xavier Ramirez
FUCK OFF ARODEN, YOU'RE DEAD AND GONE LIKE THE REST OF US WILL BE, AND TO WHAT? NOTHING! THAT JUST PROVES MY POINT! USELESS FUCKING ACCIDENTS, JUST LIKE LIFE WAS! NOTHING MATTERS!
Thomas Cooper
Pretty much any flavor of Alchemist imaginable.
William Robinson
That was good, I liked it, I would've liked more, though.
Gavin Williams
I once DMed a NWoD:Slasher game for Gurochan.
It was fun, if that gives you any hint of what I'd be hoping for.
Elijah Davis
I'd play in that, getting my evil on sounds like a fun time after not getting into the HV campaign.
I've recently had some amusing ideas about "arranged" marriages between elves (and potentially dwarves) /pfg/ okay I actually thought this up about a while ago. Particularly around the 'gender swap potion' controversy where it was determined the actual price of the effect of the potion in question was only around 450 gold to purchase, rather than the 2250g to purchase (1125 to craft).
In the case of arranged marriages, you may have a noble family that loosely arranges a marriage 150 years before they have kids - a sort of "hey our houses work well together, we should merge them" verbal agreement (or a more legalistic one for the dwarves) - and when they finally do pop out some young-uns their kids both turn out to be the same gender, they loosely groom them in their responsibilities and make sure both parties are consenting - then the heirs get married and they swap off on gender-swap baby duty (cause gotta produce heirs of their own).
You now have loving F/F & M/M noble families/dynasties, with proper heirs... because wealth, magic and long lifespans leads to funny shit.
In fact, now that I think about this more, it could be a not uncommon tactic to consolodate "weaker" houses/clans by making it so there is no fighting over heir's etc.
Another place where it could be applied is in a menzoberranzan like setting, where it could once again be used to completely consolodate houses. There's a lot more complications there, and a lot of backstabby prone behaviours, but it could turn two weak houses into one moderate one, with a reasonable dual-matriachy that is later handed over to a single matriach. Less loving, but more POWER.
MAYBE A HUMAN HOUSE WANTS TO TRY THIS NEW THING THAT THEY HEARD ABOUT FROM SOME FOREIGNER, AND NO LAWS EXIST FOR IT, SO IT CAUSES BRIEF POLITICAL CHAOS.
Anthony Anderson
But the turn off was the way that motion was animated, it just feels off or wrong.
Jace Hill
Bah, forgot to delete the reply link.
Dominic Scott
They were using poser in seasons 1-3, they've since switched to something else, which looks a lot smoother. Fight quality has gone down a lot though.
Music is pretty good though.

Luis Thomas
Isn't there magic to give same-sex couples children without forcing them into a gender they don't identify as? I'm pretty sure Paizo would have something like that.
Ian Reyes
Beats me. Maybe for MM couples in lawful societies there's a surrogate who bears the child. For FF couples it's a few minutes / hours a day with an alter self spell until conception is confirmed
Dylan Robinson
Three Humans and an Android. Or maybe one's a Half-Elf?
He might be in this thread so you might be able to ask him.
...Wow we really are a group of special snowflakes.
Luke Robinson
Being fair, no one knows IC the witch is a dragon yet!
Juan Flores
Me and a friend are looking for a game. Thats it really, here's an eye catching image since I like rangers.
Hudson Myers
"No one knows" like it would actually be a surprise, or "no one knows" like "Have I mentioned I am not a dragon today? Because I'm totally not"?
Aiden Thomas
You should think about running one! It can be very very satisfying.
Bentley Barnes
You should totally join the Dragon's game, it's all ages and there's nothing off-putting about it at all.
David Gonzalez

Liam Torres
Friend is a newbie and he would like an adventure bro to join a game with.
I am put so off though.

Honourable mentions to the Half-Giant Paladin and Dhampir Warlock who died a few months ago and STILL haven't decided what they're going to roll up next. Both players are adamant that they're coming back, they just "have to have the perfect build" first.
Aiden Wood
No-one knows as in "we literally just met her, and all we know about her is that she makes healing candies and can merge with her pet raven, but honestly, in this group, 'I'm a dragon btw' isn't even the strangest thing we'd hear that day".
Michael Adams
That party list gave me cancer.
Ethan Morgan
Is there any way to feat into PoW stuff? Like becoming an initiator solely through feats.
Alexander Diaz
Isn't there a feat line that gives you maneuvers?
Easton Rodriguez
That sounds like a Folca worshipper. You should burn her.
