Implausibly impressive cities edition: What are your favorite cities in Golarion? What makes them so cherished or so full of opportunity? Is there a nation in the setting you think "deserves" a single "cool" city so you have a better excuse to adventure there?
Thinking about making a Falconer character with a big ass Roc for an animal companion.
Any tips for playing or building this class?
Chase Kelly
A B S A L O M Just for the Starstone, but then you learn about all the gangs, the noble families, the traders, the colony of gillmen, the politics, the religions, all the little adventures to be had there.
I don't really like the flag though.
Joshua Miller
Am I the only one who misses DSP shillposting?
Juan Fisher
Eh, its to be expected. They aren't currently workin on any major important releases, so its currently not a major focus right now
Christopher Adams
Well there's the Falconer archetype for the ranger, which nets you a hunting bird companion at first level, though I don't know about its advancement.
My advice would be the Hunter class. It's a hybrid Druid/Ranger that gets teamwork feats to share with its animal companion, and it's solidly Tier 3.
Carson Watson
Do you think there'll be a method of using spheres of might with 1pp martials that doesn't involve trading half their feats away?
Mason Robinson
I was actually meaning the archetype, but I haven't looked into the Hunter yet. Is it that good?
Carter Taylor
They'll probably add in archetypes or something.
All things considered though, most of the sphere talents are either equivalents to feats, or better, so its not too much of a loss.
Out of all the 1pp Martials, I'd say Fighters are currently most benefited, since they have the feats to spare.
Bentley Morris
The flag's actually one of the better ones in Pathfinder, it certainly beats Taldor's at least.
Also, don't Steel Dragons live in Absalom? Big ole mansions in a huge metropolis seems right up a Steel's alley.
Noah Wright
It's mediocre, which is worse than being bad. It's not good in anything he does as both rangers and druids outshine a hunter. If youu want a hunter just take the beastmaster archetype of ranger which nets you more synergy with the animal and catch up to druid at level 12 for your pet.
Connor Gonzalez
Well it's 3/4 BAB as opposed to the Ranger's Full, but with teamwork feats, 6th level spell-casting, a better animal companion, all the nice ranger and druid stuff (and the ability to qualify as both ranger and druid for prereqs), and animal focus which scales really well and gives awesome benefits to boot, it's both good and really fun to play, probably the best of the hybrid classes.
Julian Jones
The time when DSP devs posted about the design process and how classes or the industry worked was the most productive and informative /pfg/'s ever been.
Jolly's doing a good job in the gaps, though.
Nolan Perez
>aren't currently workin on any major important releases RIP PoW errata. Gareth got super pissy when I brought it up, the lazy fuckwad.
Nathan Watson
user, that's what a hybrid class is supposed to do. If it was as good as either the ranger or the druid then it would supplant that class entirely, but instead it's a playable and moderately powerful mix of the two.

Chase Cook
Imma try to ask again in this thread
Is there anyway, aside from the Sohei archetype of the Monk Class, to treat polelarms such as a Glaive or Naginata as a Monk weapon?
Isaiah Hernandez
She's just an incredibly busty Gnomish fighter-girl that enjoys practicing safe sex.
Nicholas Nelson
Ascetic Style I think?
Austin Baker
Link to the game page senpai.
Connor Thomas
A hunter winds up with "the best" animal companion, though, on top of being a 6th caster who gets the best thing off of a ranger (spell discounts + animal companion) while still having other useful features. It's not better if all you want to do is be a martial for Big Damage, but a ranger isn't particularly amazing at that anyway.
I just rechecked it, and I guess that'll work. Though I'll have to juggle things around and commit to a single weapon.
Still, Style and Form should be enough to let me use a Glaive with Striker abilities. Maybe if I get those human Martial feats I can expand it to the rest of the Polarms. OR i can probably just convince the DM to use Feat Tax rules
Blake Carter
Ascetic style needs the weapons to be in the monk group. Maybe Ascetic Style (Tiger Fork), then Martial Versatility(Ascetic Style), which allows all Spears, Polearms, and Monk weapons to be used with Ascetic Style.
Kayden Murphy
There are a lot of apps for this one huh.
Gavin James
All things considered, it flew under the radar. Practically stealth. I'd make a character for it, but I don't know if I should since I've got three campaigns already.
Cooper Baker
It'd be interesting to get some data on apps for ERP vs. non-ERP.
Jayden Sanchez
How do you play as a lamia in this game? I've seen that one app in bamboozle pirates with a PC lamia but I can't seem to find any sign of stats for it in the srd. Anyone mind Feeding me with a quick link?
Play a Mermaid with the Strong Tail alternate trait, and refluff
Brandon Bennett
>How do you play as a lamia in this game?
See Strong Tail is a given, add Constrict, replace Swim speed with Climb speed (Snakes are good climbers, Miia told me) and maybe rejigger the attributes.
Sebastian Nelson
So I'm making someone for the party(swashbuckler, brawler, barbarian, arcanist insofar) and I'm thinking we need a healer. I decided on a druid, and I just have to decide what kind of druid.
Storm blaster? Archer with Nature Fang? Melee traditional druid?
Anthony Williams
>Finally had time to work on Raunchy App >Relieved when I finished writing up a satisfactory history >Realize that I haven't started on the description of my character's personality >Realize that I can't put together one of similar quality >Realize time is running out Why is my mind suddenly an uninspired blank? I was doing so well!
Jack Sanchez
Pretty cool, are there similar rules for the other lamia kin like the half bird and half cat ones?
Nicholas Hall
Goat Druid
Tell us more about the campaign so we can tell you about the specific type of goat you need.

How were your games this last weekend?
Gabriel Brooks
If a druid turns into some form of cattle, can you milk them?
Jordan Rodriguez
You have enough hit-guys. If you go for a damage dealer, definitely be an archer, otherwise, focus on control spells and summoning.
Jaxon Gomez
All /pfg/ characters are now part of the pantheon.
What are their titles and domains?
Michael White
>Al ... Is that supposed to be Aldern Foxglove? That's the only Al I can think of for Sandpoint.
Angel Thomas
Yes, but we cut him off and left. He's going to spread the word of our heroics.
Elijah Johnson
The crusader game I'd run would be something close to horror, but I'd take Francisca, Kannas, Dossentistania, Vialla, Lucius/Irina and Mimi. And then possibly Joan, Haraa and/or Lorelei if required.
Jackson Richardson
Maybe. Since Wild Shape changes you into any type of animal, it can change you into a specific gender of animal.
I don't know if cows are fed hormones to make them produce milk before they've had their first calf.
Matthew Richardson
Amalthea would be "The All-Mother" and we'll finally have a dedicated fertility goddess that isn't Tian or Evil
Christian Peterson
Are the Witch/Shaman classes Spirit and Patron real things? Like.... In D&D odds are that your warlock has met "something" to sign a pact for magical powers. Is this also the case for like... a Shaman's Bone Spirit?
Blake Fisher
Well, I don't know about dairy cows, but anything with udders that size had to be fed something special.
Jordan Ross
How did the friday and saturday RotJR sessions go? Did we get greentext for them yet?
Lincoln Parker
Yes.
Kayden Johnson
Essentially. Its left extremely vague to be more flavor agnostic. You could be communining with the animist spirits of the world around you, or you could just be using tribal traditions to manipulate conceptual entities.
Cooper Nelson
Figured I might as well repost in case anyone wants to weigh in.
Liam Morris
Not according to Feiya's character bio on the Paizo website.
I haven't read the Shaman iconic's bio.
If not, then that's how it works in Golarion. In anyone else's campaign, then maybe.
Asher Stewart
SotJR here.
Nathan Myers
In that case I am very worried about the state of the world when there are Bone and Slum spirits out there.
Michael Ross
Aranha, the Silk-spun goddess. Lady of spiders, silk and innocence
Logan Russell
>Bone Graveyards, mass graves, lingering dead spirits, Not!Indian burial grounds >Slum Any large and congested enough inner city, or poorer urban neighborhood (like a ghetto). Cities are not nice places, and when you have that many people and that many issues concentrated in one spot, things will settle and build up on the bottom
Cooper Lee
>and we'll finally have a dedicated fertility goddess that isn't Tian or Evil
We've got that bunny goddess that married Dispater and is only known for having Ragathiel!
But yeah I totally agree, having a dedicated "bounty and fertility" deity is desperately needed.
What was Paizo thinking when they designed a Pantheon that lacked the basic archetypes?
Luke Sullivan
Backstory is 90% of the reason you're going to get in.
Bite the pillow and write a paragraph for description and personality. That's all, even if it sounds a little awkward.
David Martinez

user, if you've ever worked with cows you'd realize they really, really, REALLY like it when you work their udders.

Aranha's silk comes from her BUTT!

Isaiah Allen
Her favored animal is the rabbit.
Aranha's butt is CUTE and PURE!

Hunter Young
Should I use the one that was lost in the Server Crash, or the one I built recently?
Ryder Anderson
Yes
Robert Jenkins
Anal sex *is* listed as one of her favorites.
That said, do be aware Gnomes can't get pregnant except by other gnomes... Or demons. So her setting Pregnancy to "No" isn't so much "I don't want you cumming inside me" as it is telling the DM she doesn't want to be some demon's breeding bitch.
Brandon Torres
nigga you blind
Zachary Lewis
But she still poops silk!
Angel Gutierrez
Nu uh! Silk comes from spinnerets, which are NOT butts!
Bentley Watson
You seem to be mistaken, Aranha is a spooder not a spider!
Christian Barnes
> self control
Oh im lafin
Juan Ramirez
Actually, the web glands are more like highly specialized sebacious glands, meaning it'd be more accurate that she "sweats" web, not poop it.

Is there ANYTHING beyond Shocking Grasp spam for Magus? I really want to like this class but fuck, I can't bring myself to play one. It seems so boring.
Parker Long
Snowball spam.
Charles Morris
Her abdomen's more like a tail really, all told.
Kayden Ortiz
That sounds terrible. What if she gets hot? Does she just spontaneously spawna cloak I hot weather? in
Jaxson Kelly
Of course not, she spins an umbrella to shield her from the hot sun because she is a delicate lady.
Brandon Garcia
Dimension Door shenanigans can be pretty fun, and by RAW you don't need dimensional agility to full attack after a dimension door provided you're using spell combat, since it's all part of the same fullround action.
Hexcrafter to stab people with curses
Eldritch Archer is fun but kind of just replaces shocking grasp with snowball
Jackson Ramirez
Dimension Door/Dimension Agility into Shocking Grasp.
Really, though, just look up the guides in the pastebin. Also, SoP Magus.
Nolan Butler
Isn't that because it's physically painful?
Kayden Richardson
Valwryia
Goddess of subtle bustyness
Isaac Jackson
Snowball spam on ranged magus, bladed dash for magus-pounce, hexcrafter for flight and slumber spam, not to mention having a familiar to demoralize/coup de grace/magic missile wand spam. Also there's enforcer/cornugon smash + rime frostbite which inflicts fatigue, entangled, and shaken all at once.
Charles Perez
It's a class that has a cool set of mechanics, but is just poorly put together. I still stand by the claim that Pool Strike should have been a core feature, with a "lesser" version that could be used at no cost. Unfortunately Paizo will never go fix their shit, so suck it up faggot. Spheres will also never just remake the entire class because "mageknight totally does it!" and "the spheres archetype works fine!", even though they aren't.
Aside from that? You're going to be stuck using most spells for what little utility you can squeeze out. Bladed Dash/Storm Step are pretty cool, but Shocking Grasp is so depressingly core it's not even funny. Frostbite/Chill are memes, anything with a Saving Throw that can't be repeatedly applied to a target at little cost is a joke, and your weapon selection is laughable.
Cooper Campbell
I said highly modified. In the same veign for mammals, the mammary glands are also originally highly modified sebacious glands (hence why monotremes secrete milk from a skin patch, rather than a nipple)
A spinnerette is actually composed of dozens of small spigot-shaped glands that each produce a single thread of protein. The spider controls the number and amount each spigot produces, then weaves them into different kinds of strands of varying composition and thickness.
As such spider silk doesn't actually come out in strands, but rather really fine ropes of braided protein strands
