Pathfinder General /pfg/

How about 3/4 BAB classes? I heard that the BAB difference is sometimes so bad that they can't afford to use power attack.

>Not donning your family power armor passed down from your grandfather
>Not tending to the family sword after receiving the implants needed to channel your ki into it's high tech blade
>Not riding into battle on a vat grown warhorse with augmented limbs and built in armor

Shamful dispray!

It really is not that bad. if you are worried about hitting, just wait until about 5th level when the difference is neglegable

I hope youre right.

if you got in please throw me a line.

I want to be a fat, jovial Android Cook, traveling the cosmos in the search of that greatest of worlds.

Flavortown.

True that is cool and would be awesome. Though honestly I like the feeling of a lowtech samurai or monk still keeping up with a high tech era simply through skill or ki trickery

Depends on the party. They are still 9th level casters with some unique spells and slightly more limited spell selection than wizards.

In other words: they are worth it unless your party already has two wizards, a druid and all of them have cleric cohorts.

It can be, it can be. But if you're stacking up enough bonuses apart from just your BAB, you're good.

And it's not even when power attacking, it's mostly just when two-handing. Power attacking *while* two-handing should be something you do when you're sure you can hit, and if it doesn't work just drop the power attack for a few rounds.

In base PF, I would say that the sorcerer/wizard list is the main one that is actually held to be more powerful, by intended design. You can tell that most other classes are given weightier class features besides their spells - even Witch.

It seems vaguely possible that Cleric list is considered weaker too even relative to Druid/Shaman. Both Cleric and Oracle are meant to supplement their list with domains/mysteries and get a bunch of good features from their domain/mystery.

user isn't talking about combined lists, just substituted ones.

Having a monomolecular vibro-blade doesn't mean you can skimp on the sword lessons, and mag-sealed body armor composed out of a mithral/adamantine alloy is still going to be as mobile as your old suit of lacquered armor.

Bushido and the Way of the Samurai are timeless - the coat and the engine might change, but the spirit remains.
