Do you wake up every morning and go "Today I'm going to decide to shit post all day"
I have made one.
I don't know who my dad was or what he did. I only knew the streets and Sister Gargonne at the orphanarium.
Currently playing one. Her father is Jestom Flinn, also a half-elf, since her family is all half-elf for four generations back, and he's a book binder who's ashamed of his Azlantaboo daughter.
2hu's playing a half elf for Molthune and will get BTFO when the GM doesn't pick him.
I just can't wait for DHB to be rejected. Sad DHB is delicious, his despair fuels me.
Do not deface Nveryll with such a shitty post.
Making one right now who is a ripoff of Simo Häyhä. Haven't figured out the parental thing yet. One of my old successful characters was a ranger whose human father was a ranger as well. He retired to a farm and she eventually took up his bow in service of their Lord.
Well, I've fathered a few, but technically they were half elf and half...giant-blooded, I guess? It was one of the GM's custom races.
And hilariously, so much shit kept happening to my character and the kids' mother (became king, absorbed an angel's soul, stole a devil's authority, started developing a sorcerer bloodline, drank dragon's blood) that the li'l fucker ended up sounding like a gigantic mary sue completely by accident.
We're waiting for both to get rejected so we can laugh at them and go BTFO BTFO BTFO.
How often have you used the spell Anthropomorphic Animal?
Is that desperate hope I hear you clinging on to there, user?
No! Stop! Don't be mean!
>Played one
Yep, several
>who was your daddy and what did he do
1. A brave, dead human ranger who died fighting the Man; adoptive daddy was a traveling peddler who also distilled his own moonshine
2. Daddy was a stern warrior from a violent clan who left before Character was born; elven grandfather who was the substitute paternal figure was an amoral arms dealer.
>The Original Speshul Snowflake race. Have you played one? Who was your daddy? What does he do?
I'm currently playing one. He is a half drow, with the drow half being the father. The father was a professional poisoner who fled to the surface after some bad business and decided to stay. Eventually became part of a crime syndicate as a poisoner/alchemist. Met the character's mother through that, daughter of the "boss". Had a wacky ole' time convincing the don to let him marry his daughter, ended up poisoning her fiancé. Things turned out better than expected overall.
We need shitposters to get BTFO by having their apps rejected.
>Played one
Am playing one, a Pack Lord Druid with a white wolf and a black wolf with a love for lightning magic.
>Who was your daddy? What does he do?
Some merchant who fucked an elf.
Better than the image for the last one.
>The Original Speshul Snowflake race. Have you played one? Who was your daddy? What does he do?
Yes, playing one right now. He was a drunken oaf who banged a Calistrian, managed to impregnate her and was stuck with him. Merchanting and booze hounding
If we bully him hard enough he might actually kill himself! We can do this together!
Post your character concepts.
...
Not yet.
My last character was an Elven Cleric of Desna.
Before that, it was an Elven Sandman (Bard) in a Dragon Age campaign.
This was a few years after being the perma-DM. Before that, it was usually Humans.
I'm going to walk into a PFS game tomorrow at the LGS, and ask for a pregen. They might have a half-elf. I'm living dangerously this year.
I'm really going to look for players for a campaign I want to run.
So quick question about dragons from someone who used to 3.5. Does the world Pathfinder create continue the tradition D&D created with the Draconic races where dragons of different subtypes want to practically kill each other on sight or are things a bit more nuanced in Golarion and the rest?
Current one for Lazy Princess:
>Human Exposed Teisatsu Vigilante
>Unarmed specialized body guard and assassin
>World Renown Calligrapher
I write the princess's letters and ensure her word is delivered.
>Pathfinder
>Forcing my Fetish on you Edition
Next time, just post the lewd Kitsune OP
>guy makes prepared charisma caster
>being remotely defendable
An older magus that has kept his black blade a secret from everyone and has finally decided, now that his children have grown up and moved out, to actually pursue his dream of studying the ley lines of the world.
Slightly communist Human Urban Druid with the Community Domain for DHB's revolution AP who previously found work purifying water for the rich of the city.
He would take Eldritch Heritage (Arcane) to get a rat familiar he found nearly drowned in the water he was filtering.
White male fighter.
Sounds cute. I want to build a brave knight app for that one, but I'm having a tough time with class selection.
PALADIN
CAVALIER
WARDER
Oh yeah and I'm gonna minmax Craft Calligraphy to hell and back.
Current conservative estimate is +40.
Nature girl Vexing Dodger who thinks that everyone is a friend, including big monsters that she likes to ride even if they don't want her there
I'm still not sure if I should submit her
Here's a thing for people drawn to dragongame. strawpoll.me
Current character:
>Human Druid
>Inspiration: druid's from Skellige in Witcher 3, Dr. Kynes from Dune, and God's Gardeners from Year of the Flood.
>Basic idea: think an ecologist that hangs with a leopard and can do magic.
Next character I'm split between two different concepts, both are kind of necromancers. I'll split them with a "/":
>Half-orc witch(plague patron)/human twilight arcanist
>Inspiration: Witch-doctors and shamans that have a focus on death and the undead./Herbert West, Johannes Cabal, and Van Wilder.
>Basic idea: pretty much a worshipper of Nurgle, but doesn't necessarily want to spread epidemics. Death is as much a part of life as birth is. Is on the fence for lichdom/Wants to have a good time. Forever. And give Death the middle finger. Forever. Doesn't want to be a luck though.
Song Lilin for Lazy Princess.
Which archetypes mesh well with Order of the Lion?
Monkey-man punchy tiefling bloodrager who smugs his way through socials.
Take a look at Gonzo 2, there's a class in there for jumping on creatures and using Ride checks to force them to take actions.
I have a tough time with class selection every time. Just so much shit, and I'm afraid I'll be garbage
A qlippoth tiefling woman from a poor, destitute, backwater hillbilly community who was only considered to have lost the local incestuous genetic lottery in a very big way until she became an adventure. A nice lady with a big heart, but ignorant, foolhardy, reckless, and not all that bright. Looks a little like pic related.
I've thought of plenty of vile details to make sure that her heritage is clear enough. She gets insect legs like skin tags that she prefers to snip off, she bleeds pus, spoiled foods taste divine to her (the more decomposed the better), just all kinds of little details to make her gross enough.
In one of my 5e games I have a super qt 5' 1" choco half elf rogue/warlock(goo).
She hasn't found out how to summon tentacles yet.
Song Lilin for the hussy that bullies her grace!
I've wanted to make a cavalier for years, but I know they're suboptimal. I would hate to disappoint the Princess.
Possibly, possibly, but I've always wanted to play a Vexing Dodger.
I want to play a legit loli kitsune for Fluffy Tails 2!
app.roll20.net
She'll be a cute fennec foxgirl.
Any ideas for class?
Be both!
>hussy
Lilin is P U R E!
But Pendragon isn't gestalt! Plus if I multiclass I lose Sneak Attack!
What is an "Advance Dire Rat"? (Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 232, 294)?
D20 pulls up Dire Rat which is CR 1/3, but the Adventure Path I'm pulling from says they are CR 1/2.
It's a dire rat with the advanced template.
Probably a Dire Rat with the Advanced Template
Advanced is +4 to all abilities and iirc +2 nat armor. CR +1
That's quite the thicc elf yah got there.
Sauce perhaps?
...
read the file name.
Who cares? Cavalier is flavorful!
>Don't expect any attention over my app for RotJR
>3 weeks go by without any discussion
>MFW I pop onto /pfg/ today after work and somebody has been shipping my character with Casimir for two threads.
Lilin is a shameless tramp that hangs out in dark alleys!
SHE DOES IT FOR FREE.
Link to pendragon?

I'm bored and might start posting pics...
So here's a sort of difficult question. The wording is rather iffy.
A first level wizard picks a school.
Let's say Conjuration, so he gets longer conjurations and acid darts.
Let's assume he multiclasses rather than remaining a specialist wizard.
>Dimensional Steps (Sp)
>At 8th level, you can use this ability to teleport up to 30 feet per wizard level per day as a standard action. This teleportation must be used in 5-foot increments and such movement does not provoke an attack of opportunity. You can bring other willing creatures with you, but you must expend an equal amount of distance for each additional creature brought with you.
When it comes to establishing the range of the power it explicitly states it depending on your wizard level. But the wording on Dimensional Steps does not. When looking at the wizard level table it only states bonus feats, there is no mention of arcane school upgrades or anything like that. Essentially there is nothing suggesting that these powers are tied to wizard levels explicitly.
For some of the Elementalist schools there seems to be a more differentiating wording, as sometimes DC is attributed to the caster levels (air, metal, void, water) and sometimes to the wizard levels. Which is even more confusing. Why would one power play nice with multiclassing and the other wouldn't? Does that imply that fire or wood is stronger? What sort of balancing is this?
Is this oversight? Is this intended?
She's there to catch criminals and she gets paid for it!
wow...why'd my original get deleted? Too big?
The queen is a cute! CUTE!!
app.roll20.net
TY.
These seem nasty for a level 1 party to fight.
Tell me /pfg/ do you prefer to start with a more filled out backstory and highly developed character, or simpler history and develop them along the way?
What does it do?
Have you considered reading the spell
It was unexpectedly detailed shipping, to be fair.
I make sure they have a significant flaw and a significant goal. Nothing else matters so much as those I find.
Oh I'm sure she loves to manhandle those thugs!
Not often, but I have long desired to grab some Scrolls of Awaken to go with it, and use it to go full WIZARD and make my own servitor race of animal people
I wonder if /pfg/ can go like... 20 posts without making things sexual or creepy.
Let's try.
1
Any class-granted ability that says "level" means class level unless it specifically says "HD" or "character level". It's one of the basic rules for classes.

So, would Val be interested in Casimir?
Nope.
Dr. Moreau, is that you?
What about Wizard level for some abilities and Caster level for others?
School transmutation (polymorph); Level druid 3, sorcerer/ wizard 3, witch 3
CASTING
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M (a humanoid thumb bone)
EFFECT
Range touch
Target animal touched
Duration 1 hour/level
Saving Throw Fortitude negates; Spell Resistance yes
DESCRIPTION
You transform the touched animal into a bipedal hybrid of its original form with a humanoid form, similar to how a lycanthrope's hybrid form is a mix of a humanoid and animal form. The animal's size, type, and ability scores do not change. It loses its natural attacks except for bite (if it had one as an animal), all types of movement other than its land speed, and special attacks that rely on its natural attacks. One pair of its limbs is able to manipulate objects and weapons as well as human hands do; limbless animals like snakes temporarily grow a pair of arms. The creature's Intelligence increases to 3, and it gains the ability to speak one language you know. It is not considered proficient in any manufactured weapons. It can attack with unarmed strikes, dealing unarmed strike damage for a creature of its size (unless it has a bite attack, which is a natural attack).
Anthropomorphic animal can be made permanent with a permanency spell cast by a caster of 11th level or higher at a cost of 7,500 gp.
That's about where I stand too, though I may plan ahead if I know the PC will be challenged by something in the campaign, just for how it might make them grow/develop.
>guy applies with sorc/wis gestalt
Or I'm thinking about asking the GM if I can do a dread necromancer that someone converted into Pathfinder from 3.5
Well that flopped quickly.
Thank god someone there isn't power gaming.
Caster level = class level of the class that grants spellcasting, plus anything that specifically boosts caster level.
I hadn't really considered that angle to be perfectly honest. I've got to run and put my kid to bed, but I might pop in and talk more a little later if people are interested.
Molthune app is one.
His parents are half-elves
Two of his grandparents were also half-elves
He is a half-elf.
Not him, but I think that's a question that should be answered in-game after roleplaying!
The assumption being that you took a PrC that gives you caster levels.
Why are some of those elemental abilities treated differently?
...
Man, I miss that one 3.5 prestige class that actually made this work in normal game. It was well-designed with cool abilities and an imperfect dual progression that was totally fine.
Because.
You shouldn't have much more than early days, and not TOO much adventuring-level stuff especially if you're just level 1-3. You're NOT a seasoned adventurer yet and if you try to pretend you are, a few sessions in you're likely to realize your alignment and attitude don't match what you'd written.
Nobody who's slaughtered half a dozen mages and led an army to victory is still a rusty-dagger shanktown character
