Pathfinder General /pfg/

>Ohoho, it's so funny all these people getting annoyed at my faggotry!

I don't give a shit about 2hu, you're genuinely just annoying.

being a sperg and being a shit are not mutually inclusive.
for example, witchhunt user is entirely the latter.

>you're
I also enjoy it when people assume they know someone's identity on Veeky Forums

I didn't say he was a sperg. Just that he was annoying.

You don't need to be witch-hunter to be annoying either.

So is there actually a "witchhunt user"? Like is there definitive proof it's one person?

I would like to believe it's only one person.

Ok so I'm trying to figure out my first gestalt character. Is there some sort of breakdown to how this works? I tried searching the pfsrd but all I'm seeing is the lantern archon special ability.

I'd also like to ask for advice on a good combo for an int based caster class. Preferrably something PoW and good with polearms.

I ask because out of everyone I know that's had some contact with 2hu, most of them don't, uh, "approve of his conduct", shall we say. Whereas I notice this person that's always very... aggressive in their defense seems to be just one person.

You have to look for Unearthed Arcana from 3.0 for the rules.

Everything else is up to the DM.

Nah.

2hu is kind of annoying, yes. But when someone brings them up, it's often the same way.

"2hu killed this game."

"Ban 2hu before they kill this game"

"Why haven't you specifically stated that 2hu is banned from your game, they're going to join and ruin everything"

And as someone who has told Witch-hunt to fuck off a couple times, I can guarantee that there is, at the VERY absolute minimum, more than one person telling them to fuck off.

Plus, word is 2hu's had a stalker for fucking ages that followed them from the 4e threads and follows them to any other thread they may post in, regardless of game.

You basically just take the "highest" of the two classes while preserving all class features including spellcasting

highest saves between the two, highest skill points, highest BAB, highest sneak attack, etc

Is wisdom and hit die the only thing to oppose demoralization attempts via intimidate? I have a player with like +20 intimidate who had to go to Frightened status because his foe rolled the required 15 to beat his HD and Wisdom penalty and happened to be a Thug rogue. The player's character had like twice as much intimidation power. The player just accepted it but it didn't sit well with me... Is that just how it is?

Omen Rider Harbinger nets you only 3/4 BAB but you can also add half int to attack and later full int to damage. Plus a spectral horse that eventually gets to fly.
Aegis gives you full BAB and some of the customizations can give you strong defenses and mobility, plus maneuvers.
Living Legend Soulknife can net you full int to attack and damage. Can't into PoW though.
Zweihander Sentinel Warder also fits the bill, but it's not the right class to gestalt with a caster.

I've had a look at a lot of the PoW classes (also admittedly a first) and warder does seem pretty damn good for an int caster with a pointy stick. How screwed am I if I go warder without armor due to wanting to avoid ACP? d12 hd gives me the impression that I'll do just fine as long as I play my character as an int class that happens to be good at poking things rather than some sort of eldritch knight.

You mean, aside from the mod that had a hateboner for 2hu so hard they would ban him on sight based on his opening post pictures?

As I gather, yes.

It's a fear affect. Anything that protects agaisnt fear protects agaisnt intimidate.

>play my character as an int class
You realize this is utter gibberish, right?

I'd suggest going with Dervish Defender Warder (which goes on light/no armor), and asking the DM if he can let you make having both hands free+IUS count as having two weapons for the archetype's features. Otherwise, being a Warder means you'll get hit since the class's main abilities involve making it more convenient for your foes to go against you than your allies.

You realize that your mother's a whore, right?

read the last thread. didnt see where "adding cat people" was demonstrated to be why katapesh died

How would a Merfolk on land deal with extreme temperatures? Intense cold/heat?

There were some claims that they were "super sexy and loved by everyone" too but I didn't see that either. It was a pretty embarrassing piece of fiction though.

Badly. Fish don't sweat.

with climate controlled suits

They also don't have any sort of resistance vs dehydration. They'd find themselves parched very quickly.

How many chambers does a merfolk's heart have?

Just humor me.

2. tube shaped like the letter s

Enough to make your wiener feel good when you insert it.

>2

Then they're fucked.

Almost all vertebrates have a four chambered heart.

(mermaids are like sharks, right?)

So what happens if I take two casting classes? Do I gain twice the spell slots?

yes

You gain the spellcasting abilities of both classes, but the spell lists and spell slots remain separate, though each one benefits from the extra spells a high stat gives them.

Is it considered bad form to do this? I'm honestly just looking for a simpler alternative to trying to cram something "good" without blundering into a faux pas. So maybe a Greed Wizard/Sage sorcerer will keep things simple enough.

PoW seems fun to play with but stacking abilities with a tier 1 caster may get me called out.

I don't know, that's why I asked.

Just birds and mammals, generally.

Not really - you can still only cast one spell per round, so stacking two tier one casters really doesn't make you that much more powerful, only versatile, which a wizard is by default anyways.

My favorite is Psionicists+Wizard, with Wziardry taking all the utility spells and all the damage and assault coming from the psychic side.

As far as I've seen, full casters have been banned in Gestalt games with DSP and other shenanigans. Granted I've only looked into a few pfg sign ups recently.

theyre fish. if not sharks, I'd choose another fish for reference

not really, but you typiclly dont have the stats for it (unless theyre the same casting stat).

typically people take a martial and a caster for better numbers.

it you went sorcerer/oracle you'd be both better and worse than your peers. More options and power, but much more fragile. Very glass cannon.

Paladin/Oracle is an example you sometimes see, though.

How bad was it?

On a 10-point scale where 10 is the worst, I'd give it about a 7. Well above average, but definitely not the worst thing I've ever read. The worst part for me was how casually it described an enormous, conquering army and its ruler.

So less munchkin points for essentially double spell slots and maybe a few compatible bonuses. Seems fair to me.

anybody ever seen a "average gestalt"?

is there a reason its a bad idea?

stack class features as normal gestalt.

half size hd, half bab, half saves, half skillpoints, track fractions.

then add levels together and just give them out 2 at a time.

So what, rather than A 1/2 BAB and full BAB ending up as a Full BAB, they end up as 3/4?

Could see it working.

I didn't see a single bit of "everyone loves them" in there. They were halfling tieflings with hellcat blood and cat attributes because their ancestors fought a bunch of hellcats and the blood got in the water supply.

It's a bit cringey at times with use of old timey quotes, but it wasn't "OH MY GOD SO SEXY HNNNG and only bad, ignorant people dislike them" that witch-hunter user was saying last thread.

You can read it yourself if you want, last thread is linked and you can ctrl-f worldbuilding to find it instead of having other people bias your opinion.

exactly that.

i figure it would make using conventional encounters easier, as the math isnt all weird.

I can see that working. Although in cases like hit dice it'd probably be better to average them out in some fashion other than just halving the two and adding them together.

Like, 1d6 + 1d10 = 1d8. Things like that. Would have to decide what happens if you combine something like a 1d6 with a 1d8, but in cases like that it's probably no harm to just give them the 1d8.

whats wrong with halving the rolls, or galving the die sizes? it seems more midular that way.

Holy shit, so 2hu IS Touhoufag from the 4e threads? Holy shitto.

His guides were kinda useful.

Can you guys solve this ?

18923 = 3
4568 = 4
888411 = ?

888411 = n, where n is an integer

>only bad, ignorant people dislike them

But that's literally already the case for tieflings.

Tieflings aren't any more inclined towards evil than others and it really IS only ignorant people that are prejudiced against them.

I've thought of it before, never ran it

(1+8+9)/(2*3)=18/6=3

0?

I assume you just add all the numbers up on each line then the answer is the final ones digit.

How come /pfg/ is used to high school level writing quality for backstories/settings but when it's 2hu we're talking about, suddenly /pfg/ has the standards of literature PhDs?

People who shit on 2hu can go fuck themselves, people who defend 2hu can go fuck themselves. Stop bringing up this goddamn drama no one gives a fuck about.

1s digit
1+8+9+2+3=23 mod 20 =3
1s digit + 1
4+5+6+8 =15+8 = 23 mod 20 =3 +1 =4
1s digit +2
8+8+8+4+1+1 = 30 mod 30 = 0 +2 =2

that pattern doesnt hold for the 2nd one.

>Intro post is about Witchhunting 2hu. OP picture is a witch.

Did... did you just prank us?

just a prank bropai

No, dude.

It just looks like that because he's pissed that many of us off. I am the guy who vociferously talks shit about him in gamefinder but I don't really talk about him here.

You just think it's one stalker because we all have the same complaints.

Anyone have any recommendations for adventures that I can splice on to the adventure paths?

What are some published adventures that would go well with something like Kingmaker or Rise of Runelords?

Is there a re-balance of the skills in Pathfinder somewhere?
Paizo went and did some consolidated skills thing, but that is shit.
Combining disable device and sleight of hand into finesse, and climb, swim and jumping into athletics was a good start, but then Paizo went and did what Paizo does and fucked it up.
Any recommendations on where to look or other skill combinations?

Just have "Physical," "Subterfuge," "Knowledge," and "Communication"

Or better yet, "Stuff That Isn't Combat".

Like Background skills?

>paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/unchained/skillsAndOptions/backgroundSkills.html

The opposite. A single "Background" skill for EVERYTHING.

Why are you poisoning Gamefinder with saltiness, witch hunter?

I've been awake since 2:00 yesterday afternoon, so that doesn't make much sense to me.

Do you mean that every character of the same level has the can get the same result on a Perception check as a Use Magic Device check?

> has the can get

The guy is a sociopath or a psycopath. He is just targeting the weakest ones for his own sick entertainment.

I think he means, you put all the skills you would have as per your background as "background skill" and you only need to put points in that and say "yeah I totally know about how to sail, my dad was a fisherman" or "Oh you need to decipher the runes on the basket? I did some basketweaving in the past I should be able to work out what it says"

I intend to play a gestalt of Artisan/Architect.
Y/N?

He's killed multiple games I have played/been interested in.

Sorry, but calling out poison doesn't make me toxic.

He is not being bullied: he keeps running in, doing the same thing he's been doing for years despite being mostly hated universally.

How do you know he killed them?
Isn't this the same as "lololol 2hu killed Katapesh game"?

Intimidate can't do more than apply shaken in most cases.

keep up the baseless accusations in hoping someone will believe them witch-hunter user

They're not baseless. We already saw 2hu kill the Katapesh Legacy of Fire Roll20 first hand.

>Isn't this the same as "lololol 2hu killed Katapesh game"?

Curious how the game died a mere day (or was it hours) after 2hu brought his concentrated autism into it.

Could be the number of closed loops in each number as written. 4, 6, and 9 each have one. 8 has 2.

The answer would be 7.

Probably. On a shitty phone app and can't see the number while I type this.

here, found out the DM is not allowing Avowed.

Should I go full "fuck my shit up, senpai" and make a Warlord || Fighter (Two-Handed) focused on Scarlet Throne Style?

I know he killed them because I generally get on well with people and the GMs told me.

Hell, the pathfinder game I started last week had to quietly abandon its recruitment discord when 2hu showed up.

A-Also, where could I find the Contender archetype?

Seeing as I am totally not 2hu, can you tell me more about your game?

(not 2hu, totally)

No, overhand chop doesn't work with maneuvers.

Be a savage barbarian brutal slayer stalker.

It's probably the game you're thinking about.

If you weren't contacted privately and given a steam and roll20 invite, you didn't make the cut.

The only game I've had contact with here for, like, the last six months is the Katapesh one.

Oh well, if people are already picked it doesn't matter.

>Hell, the pathfinder game I started last week had to quietly abandon its recruitment discord when 2hu showed up.
Lemme guess, you pulled the "stop talking to the guy and abandon ship to another channel/server" shit?

That's some of the most cowardly, pussy-ass shit you can do on the internet. If you want to boot someone out, tell it to his face, don't slink away quietly and leave him hanging.

Fuck you.
