/pfg/ Pathfinder General

The bastard is /covered/ with the things. Brutal Slayer Armor of Scars lmao

So who uses Auto Bonus Progression? I feel like that's a really neat way of making sure players are properly all powered up without having to buy boring generic items like ring of protection/cloak of resistance/etc.

I like it in concept, hate it in execution. Use Worlds of Power's Paragon progression instead

Words of Power seems like such a cool concept but it feels like it should be exclusive to a prestige class for level 16 and up or something, where Sorcerer and Wizard merge or something

>Use Worlds of Power's Paragon progression instead
Where's that?

>like such a cool concept (which it is)
>exclusive to a prestige class (which suck)
>for level 16 and up (which few players ever play at)
>with Sorcerer and Wizard merging (that's called the Arcanist)

Kys

It's somewhere in here

>>exclusive to a prestige class (which suck)
Not all of them do; there's a few good ones and others that work for specific builds.

Most do blow though.

Alright so my friends roped me into trying out pf with them and i wanted to try something simple
I'm going with a gnome paladin (core only so no weird stuff) but i'm having trouble coming up with a proper order for them to join
I was thinking something along the lines of a congregation dedicated to guarding/honoring the fey they descend from, from the sites of fey domain to their artifacts of heritage, but i know next to nothing about PF lore so i'm asking you if this is a dumb idea or not
Also what would the best god for such a paladin be?

Except the concept is lame as shit if it's not ridiculously powerful. Oh look I said "fire" and a spark appeared, no I want to say "fire" and a Heightened Wall of Fire appears.

>but i'm having trouble coming up with a proper order for them to join
What does this mean
Are you the DM or something?

>exclusive to a prestige class (which suck)
Maybe we should make them not suck then

It matters because we should at least TRY to make the OP image pathfinder/psuedo-medieval fantasy RPG related and not just Random Anime Girl Image #3401028.

That and the thread topic is some fucking circlejerk blog shit about whatever flavour of the day game happens to be going on. Not everybody cares about that shit, and it discourages new posters and other forms of discussion.

Not OP of that thread and it's shit but what does the OP of this thread have to do with pathfinder

No i mean
The backstory of the character

>metagaming faggot.png

Well I mean
Normal Paladins in PF are always Lawful Good, but your thing sounds like some sort of natural guardian, which would be Neutral Good or something? Unless I'm misinterpreting?
Paladins don't need gods per-se, those are clerics. Paladins are paragons of all that is good and lawful (in other words, of virtue in general) but they're not actually bound to serve the whims of a god for the most part.

I said Pathfinder OR pseudo-medieval fantasy, which the op image could be construed for. Either that or a Starfinder character, which is also on topic.

What feats are good for thrown melee weapons? Like, say, on a psy-armory.

Just a general question, I read here or on 1d4chan something about a campaign where the GM and his group tried to make their characters become immortal/gods, and then have a second campaign set 1000 years later where the new group tries to kill them somehow.
Can anyone maybe give me some pointers where I could find that story again (if it exists and I'm not simply just senile)?

I know about the alignment requirement, but aren't paladins basically very important members of a given church? And i read that they do have connections with their god, otherwise how would they do even half the things they can?
Also is the 1-step alignment difference applicable only to clerics or do paladins share this benefit? So a NG god would work for a LG paladin

I mean, i'm a relatively new poster here and while I don't find the pfg games that interesting it certainly belongs here. You have to realize generals aren't just topic threads and are more semi-communities inside the larger one. Games based off /pfg/ belong in /pfg/ and there's no doubt about that, even if they are terrible power-wank gestalt fests littered with every 3p producer imaginable.

And really a thread's OP can be just about anything, all it needs to even resemble is some sort of character assuming it doesn't violate global rules. As far as I can tell people just get mad over the typical "anime ugh!!" ideas

>I know about the alignment requirement, but aren't paladins basically very important members of a given church?
Ehhhh no, not really. They often ARE, because being a LG paragon of power and virtue in an LG church is great, but they don't have to be aligned with a god at all.

>otherwise how would they even do half the things they can
The power of virtue.

We're also neglecting the fact that the thread was made early, and given the thread topic along the trend of the OP pic, was an asshole trying to get a rise out of people.

So the best way avoid a shitstorm is to ignore the guy and start our own thread with something more interesting and more "General".

Also the guy always gets their headline image from the treading Pixiv images and that annoys me oddly.

...

That's much more understandable. I figured it was just another stupid rant about "ugh muh anime girls are NOT for roleplay.."

>As far as I can tell people just get mad over the typical "anime ugh!!" ideas

Anime OPs are proven to make worse threads than normal OPs.

I just realized what the Syrinx for Starfinder should be; they should be like the Seekers from Advent Rising, an outwardly authoritarian yet kindly race who uplifts primitive species in exchange for a thousand years of servitude, who are in truth fanatical purifiers trying to exterminate a species or three that threatens their legitimacy.

It's actually the other way around

My biggest problem is that there's some faggot in the other thread bumping it off page 11, it's on page 3 again.

Then shouldn't it be changed from pathfinder general to Paizo general if we're allowing starfinder garbage?

Starfinder is in the same universe, so yeah.

Hey, I saged that thread good and proper!

>It's actually the other way around
Prove it. Anime OPs are bad for /pfg/.

So what games has /pfg/ been playing? Got any stories?

Proof: a non-anime OP does nothing to stop witchhunting and lewdposting both, and tends to be made at page 1 or 4 by aforementioned witchhunters. This one wasn't though, so that's good.

Not really a story, but I've been playing a spheres caster recently
Power Word Truth + Power Word Pain is the best torture device ever short of maybe a judgement geas.

Anyone got a discord invite?

Anyone looking forward to Starfinder?

My Sorcerer has burn scars along the right side of his body from when he was incinerated by a Phoenix

has anyone actually used tarot cards for pathfinder? I stopped after people wouldn't stop flipping shit about Death XIII.

people at my table always get mad that I drool all over my dingus and wiggle my butthole when i play

Please stick to text-games only here then please, user.

wot

No.

Thanks lad x

You got it bruh.

/pfg/ totally loves gestalt, right?

penandpapergames.com/forums/showthread.php/31027-strange-idea-looking-for-DM

Would you run a one on one game for this person?

>I would like to do a solo campaign of the World's Largest Dungeon with a multi-gestalt character concept with PrCs thrown in along the way. I can play over skype and / or with something like roll20. It is silly conceptually, yes, but I would enjoy it and I am sure a DM out there would too. I just like the concept of the World's Largest Dungeon as a Mega Dungeon so I think it will work nicely.

>The character has 14 base classes and 11 prestige classes. The idea isn't optimization or crazy brokenness. I just chose a bunch of things I like and things I've never used in order to be prepared for any situation. I have a good mental build of the character and would be able to stay in character without metaknowledge of monsters, what have you. Initially it would be a Artificier//Beguiler//Cleric//Dragon Shaman//Fighter//Healer//Monk//Paladin//Ranger//Rogue//Scout//Sorcerer//Swordsage//Wizard. The PrCs are (at lvl 6) Incantatrix, Dragon Disciple, Skullclan Hunter, Ultimate Magus, (at level 7) Abjurant Champion, Jade Phoenix Mage, (at level 9) Knight of the Chalice, (at level 10) Argent Savant, Loremaster, (at level 13) Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil, (at level 14) Heirophant

What the fuck, that's overboard as fuck

Just to clarify, this is a 14-stalt character.

>/pfg/ totally loves gestalt, right?
Gestalt is a meme.

Aren't games in general a meme?

Blingmaker greentext when?

Blingmaker was a bamboozle.

I want to believe.

Me too.

But I been hurt before. Hold me?

There are no arms here.

P-pic related?

Does this even make sense

So when a Monk of the Healing Hand uses True Sacrifice, are they removed from everyone's memory as well?
Or is it just their name?

It looks like he's remembered, but his name is forgotten.

True Sacrifice (Su): At 20th level, in a final self less act, a monk of the healing hand can draw in his entire ki, which then explodes outward in a 50-foot-radius emanation. All dead allies within the emanation are brought back to life, as if they were the subject of a true resurrection spell with a caster level equal to the monk’s level. When the monk does this, he is truly and utterly destroyed. A monk destroyed in this way can never come back to life, not even by way of a wish or miracle spell or by the power of a deity. Furthermore, the monk’s name can never be spoken or written down again. All written mentions of his name become nothing more than a blank space. This ability replaces perfect self.

Remembered but unknown, raw.

The picture isn't what is wrong with the OP (although it is annoying and unrelated to the topic it gives). No, the wrong part of it is the blatantly-baiting "topic" that exists only to shitpost. It's the same as the topics that are "why haven't you banned Avowed at your table yet?" or even worse, "what's the best way to justify ?"

That's pretty brutal. But you'd really only use it in the event of an almost TPK...

I'd refuse on general principles. If I'm the GM, I get to choose what I run, not the players.

>all written mentions of his name
Funny thing here is how it never tells you what exactly comprises a name
"Emperor Wangxi, Zhao Lin Wenjun" might be a name, but what about just "Zhao Wenjun"? William Smith, son of Robert Smith from York might be a name but what about just William Smith the monk or Mr. Smith the monk? What about just "the monk that followed us around"? It doesn't mention portraits or anything either.

Does he reach Nirvana or something

Is there any reason to ever get Crusader's Flurry with a UMonk gestalt, given that Ascetic Form appears to grant you the same (better, even) benefits?

It never does mention exactly what counts as a name, which is why there's the joke of the monk named Fireball Teleport Emergency Force Sphere Wish Simulacrum Blood Money McTavish.

I like to think it as complete annihilation from existence, including memories, portraits, mentions, and possibly implications of sufficiently close ("the monk threw a guy through the door again" or "the six of us were barely alive" Vs "there were sixty goblins - ten for each of us, hardly a fair fight for them"

It always struck me as odd how it's neither a Cleric nor a Wizard who accomplishes the ultimate magic but a fucking monk
The monk literally retcons the entire plot.

Even better if they stack Sensei. They can literally retcon their entire party from existence, with no save.

Sounds about right, honestly. I really like the Syrinx in general. Intelligent cultured scholars that reached that height because of their massive amount of slave races and creatures they modify to their own ends, but they seem to do it in a kindly manner. Its odd but very nicely seen to. In general though don't they seem to not care about other races as long as they don't threaten them directly.

Yeah it seems so. There are a couple worldhopping pathfinder games running now, and one that is going to convert when starfinder opens up.

*enlightens you*
True wisdom is knowing that power comes not from the god or the world but from within yourself.
All men are creators of their own world, their own god and their own master. To become at peace with yourself is to become one with your world and thusly become God.

That pic is going to be 120% canon when Starfinder comes out.

I actually had a monk of the healing hand use this ability in-game. It was a long campaign, 1-20 and he was the last of the original party. Everyone else had changed characters at least once or twice.

It was a quest to reach mythic levels, and it was very, very dramatic. I could tell the story if you want, but the way we played it, he was completely destroyed, and the only thing left was a feeling that no one could quite place, of a companion they knew but could not see.All written mentions, even as a passing mention were erased.

Don't hide it from me /pfg/

Tell me which /pfg/ game character's art you'd like to replace? What would you replace it with?

Indian mythology is batfuck insane
>chariots that weight as much as the rest of the universe combined
>people firing arrows hard enough to actually knock that back
>stars being rearranged at will
>armies of "million million million" men

I barely follow /pfg/ games once I don't get in so I dunno
I guess it'd be cool if we had a drawfag who did each game's art in a consistent style.

Reminder that overlewd apps close tomorrow, so if you still haven't finished your app you should probably do so.

It's a bloody shame there isn't a female knight in Blingmaker, because pic related is a Brevic dame, complete with heraldry.

Corwin Brin has a disappointingly generic portrait for what sounds like a proper drunkard, perhaps pic related?

It all has a shred of truth to it though. Considering it was all based on aliens.

...

>Considering it was all based on aliens.

Oh my god, I could spend an hour ranting about that ridiculous show on the supposed "History" Channel.

The fall from grace that channel had was incredible, what made it go from History to Redneck Reality TV?

People butthurt about it being the Hitler channel presumably

If you really look into it, ignoring the history channel, it all comes back to aliens anyways.

See

Regardless of the art Disk chose, Corwin will always be Vane in my mind's eye.

user, it was never not trash. At best it was the WWII history channel and nothing else.

Fuck off

inb4 "X character should have been a Y!" with Y typically being "cute girl".
