Pathfinder General /pfg/

Pathfinder General /pfg/

You're starting up a /pfg/ game! Or, someone else is starting up a /pfg/ game and you've got some control over chargen. Regardless of setting (even if it's Golarion), you can pick only SIX races (humans are free choice on top) that PCs can be. Which do you choose?

Humans, Tieflings, Aasimar, Elves, Half-Elves, Half-Orcs, and Dwarves.

Ifrit, Oread, Samsaran, Suli, Sylph, Undine

Aasimar, Tieflings, Half-Giants, Half-Elves, Elves, and a brewed Half-dragon race.

Where are the humans though

If Pathfinder races:
>Human
>Orc
>Half-Orc
>Hobgoblin
>Goblin
>Dwarves

If my races:
>Human
>Vodyanoy
>Borovoi
>Rusalka
>Domovoi
>Kikimora

Human, human, human, human, human, and human.

Here's one: six core races (plus humans) for a campaign set in Arcadia (basically pathfinders version of the americas). So far I've been mulling over Humans, Syrinx, Skinwalkers, and Halflings.

Proper, Paizo Kitsune
That six armed Large race that I will just call Vajra
Halflings seem tolerable
Dragon "Prince" and "Princess"
Those dog like Horogauru(?)
Sentient slime people seem fun

>(humans are free choice on top)
Learn 2 read, count scrubula.

Is this DHB's roster?

Go into details on those personal races?

Yes. He wasn't exactly hiding that fact.

Shitposts, (autistic screeches), ERP posters, 4rries, shota, and anime posters.

If we're doing personal races then I've got to go with my faves from my homebrew setting:
Human, Crumblenauts, Buttboys, Squooshies, Half-Buttboys, and Quarter-Buttboys.

Here ya go:
>docs.google.com/document/d/1WHL10oJslOkQlm8cgm2rXm88BQPzgNjQq3fAhUMg7b8/edit?usp=sharing

I'm going to regret asking this but... what exactly is a "buttboy?"

Why do you need half- and quarter-buttboys?

What's this?

Gain Zen Archery at level 4, have it replace the ki power at that level.
Gain Point Blank Master at level 4 instead of 3.
Gain Trick Shot at level 12, have it replace the ki power at that level.
Gain Ki Focus Bow at same level, it replaces the style strike gained at that level instead of tongue of the sun and moon.

What are the different shades, the different moods, of Chad-ness?

Are there other names for these various levels of Chad-hood, or are they just like minor chad, lesser chad, and greater chad?

For /playable/ races...
Humans (free space)
Skinwalkers
Dhampir
Aasimar
Tiefling
Changeling
Androids or Wyrwood (your pick)

I actually wrote this out for a homebrew setting, where there USED to be gods... but they disappeared.

Skinwalkers represent the creations of the animal gods, who came together and cut a deal with the God of Man to collaborate on their next creations, to try and combine the greatest aspects of man and animal. It didn't go so well, but the God of Man offered to harbor the creations and guard them, and they and hoomans have cordial relations. Treat those bug skinwalker variants someone homebrewed as being part of this, and it otherwise has all the kinds of skinwalker in it (i.e even the shark ones, the raptor ones, and the rat ones)

Aasimar are humans that the God of Man gifted to his most cherished friends, an esoteric pantheon named "the Stars-Over-Heaven." The Aasimar lived in the kingdom and over the millennia they came to be part of their own special roles: some became courtiers, others became soldiers, such and such.

Tieflings are the aftermath of a group of humans rebelling against the God of Man and dealing him a mortal blow that eventually sent him into a deep slumber. His blood spilled out and corrupted those humans, creating the first demons, who fled deep, deep into the wild. Those that procreated with others before that, though, spread their tainted line, and those descendants became the first tieflings

Changelings aren't actually creations of the God of Man. Rather, they're attempts by other gods to mimic humans. Of course, it didn't go to plan, and the various mimicries often earn pity and sympathy for their nature.

Androids/Wyrwoods (refluffed to be stone) aren't related to ANY of those groups. Rather, they're the remnants of the dwarven race. A horrible epidemic spread through them and caused them to turn to stone. With no cure, they used magic to make successors.

How do I play a Chad if I'm beta

Somebody wanted a quick rundown of the Flower Court apps in the last thread. Here they are!

>Ichabod: Chaotic Stupid, panty-stealing fuckwit. The writer should feel bad for using Marvelous Chester as his character art.

>Esmero: Filthy gypsy with no backstory. Let him taste the fires of hell.

>Derrin: Wow. It's fucking nothing. Likely will be a goody-little-two-shoes bitch.

>Mazdak: Savage, sand-eating half-orc. Ganondorf wannabe.

>Aeldrannas: Another god damn, special snowflake half-orc. Also, a boring knight.

>Felix: Wow. It's (almost) fucking nothing. Son of a filthy merchant.

>Orion: Old as fuck barbarian. Needs to settle down before he breaks his hip.

cont.

What quirks do you like in characters?

Have no fear or self-reflection on what you are about to do. Just do it. Don't care if you fuck it up, just do it differently next time if you do.

Really, all "CHAD" is is someone without anxiety disorders.

Roleplay. The same way our characters go and kill enemies without a second thought, or we play evil monsters or fearless champions of justice.

Just because it involves male-female interaction doesn't mean you can't roleplay it as well. Put on the mask, and play the role of the mask. Also, imagine how would you act in the real world if you had superpowers including at least peak strength and superhuman toughness.

>Niccolo: Boring bookworm and painter. May very well be autistic.

>Ceraphine: Used-up christmas cake and a no-good spy. The writer's not riding off Captain Slow's success for once.

>Petre: A god damn hippie and filthy fey-spawn. Needs to keep out of the courts and stay in the woods.

>Castellan: Boring ass knight with little-to-no backstory. Has the nerve to use Dark Souls art for his app.

>Witch: A witch named "Witch"...really? Would burn at the stake.

>Annette: Dirty, stinkin' commie and a bookworm. Would bully.

>Mouse: Filthy half-breed and rape-baby. Somehow more rat-like than Rinka.

>Jericho: Damn, dirty lawfag and Batman wannabe. Also a deformed spawn of demons.

Don't take this seriously. It's all in good fun.

What do you mean by "it's fucking nothing"? I'm still in the planning stages for my app and am trying to get a feel for the other apps.

You're missing two.

Yeah Sorry is an immortal meme

Not him but it's obviously in jest

The problem I've found with playing a Chad in Pathfinder is the female players don't ever do anything to suggest interest in the Chad, which is important for the Chad to do their thing.

>Jericho
LAWFAGS GET OUT
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>no writeup for the new app

A true, 100% Chad? Here's the rundown.

Your character is attractive and sexually successful in that he boasts often of his conquests. He's young, no older than his early 30s. If there's a stereotype anywhere near a popular and attractive man in high school or college in the setting, he fits it.

He's assertive at least, more accurately described as aggressive. Encounters with women are not intended to be rewarding for him on an emotional or even sexual level--the goal is to boast about them and bask in the glory of others' adulation or envy.

Similarly, you should play as if only your own goals matter. Everyone else is competition, obstacles, or fodder for your own glory. Your legend is all. No friendship, no pussy, no morals, must stand between you and greater acclaim.

Often, he can come off as dumb, but actually being dumb is not strictly required. He doesn't use big words, doesn't espouse complex thoughts. He says "dude" and "bruh" to save on time.

I'll make you my buttboy and you'll find out, m8

>Itsuko
A fedora tipping STEMfag also >he

>Cornelia
Arrogant philosopher plus arrogant knifeear means it's elven gilgamesh

Slow is my favorite, though Sleep grows on me.

It's all in good jest. I actually like most of the apps so far.

Well, if you insist.

>Itsuko: Filthy weeb character. Much like Niccolo, could very well be autistic.

>Cornelia: There's no way this witch bitch is Lawful Good. At least she's not named "Witch".

Did I get 'em all? Once again, don't take this shit seriously.

Well, you know what the meme is.
Why don't you just send a few already?
They're both friendly guys, great for conversation.

I like characters that love their family, whether it's parents, siblings, a spouse, children, or something else.

Already did. Slow was phenomenal; Sleep is holding out on me.

>There's no way this witch bitch is Lawful Good
Well she's definitely Lawful, and she'll certainly claim that she's the epitome of Good...

I like characters that aren't Good-aligned who have a sense of decency that they can't deny.

The CE barbarian who fiercely defends his chosen allies, no matter how they infuriate him.
The LN mercenary who's too cynical to believe simply the right thing will be rewarding, but focuses on defending the defenseless even if he uses harsh methods.
The CN rogue who says he's only in it for the money, but then turns and throws down his armful of plunder to rejoin the battle when his friends are in trouble.

>The CE barbarian who fiercely defends his chosen allies
That sounds liike NE or LE.

Notch user pls go.

Do you make it clear what you want from them? If he's dense, be blatant.

No, because it's stupid for him to do it. That makes it Chaotic.

What

Not really. You can have a code of honor or at least one of "don't murder my friends" while still being chaotic.

CE is by far and away the most likely evil to tie into a party via friendship. LE is characterized by creeds, NE is characterized by selfishness.

Go learn your goddamn alignments you mouthbreather.

I'll come around for a second pass tonight.

Fucking this.
People I try and flirt with usually don't escalate unless I make it so obvious fucking Shirou would get it. They just keep flirting, or worse, they start an actual conversation and change the mood.

/pfg/, should I PM DHB? What's he into?

Autism and his own homebrews

He isn't interested in whatever you're going to PM HIM about. You've got better luck with the anons mentioned above.

Stupidity does not dictate Chaos or Order.
Hence "Lawful Stupid"
I disagree with the Code of Honor part, because that's basically why monks are forced to be on the Lawful axis, but "don't murder my friends/allies is pretty nothing enough to say chaotic.

Who are the worst /pfg/ lays?

Who are the least lewd?

Who do you wish would PM you but doesn't seem to get the hint?

Wist because she's so good you feel incompetent

>inb4 Vult

...So....
I'm new here.

What the fuck is up with all of this PM and leweds stuff? Who are you all talking about? Do you post this stuff online or is it just private?

Why aren't you a new IP?

>because that's basically why monks are forced to be on the Lawful axis
Monk being Lawful Only is beyond moronic for this exact reason

paizo.com/paizo/blog/v5748dyo5ljrp?Meet-the-Iconics-Navasi

Are there too many gay space communists?

Lawful literally means having a personal code and the fluff of the monk kind of makes it impossible for them to NOT have a personal code.

Run. Run far away. This place is basically ERP general.

If you can get past that drama, there are some non-porn games recruiting right now!

Because I'm like...2 days new. Which is still super new apparently because I tried to lurk but I have no idea what the fuck you are on about.

>spamming ...
Then stay new and leave immediately.

I don't mind LG only Paladins but L only monks pisses me off so much. Martial artists who embrace anger and dishonour in pursuit of strength are such a classic character.

Tieflings, Aasimar, Skinwalker, Elves, Half-Elves, Samsaran.

Not him but my first post this thread didn't give me a new IP earlier, something's up.

Stop typing like a retard

I think the problem is how monks are the only actual martial class
Do you even lose your shit if you go Neutral or Chaotic like other alignmentlocked classes?

>Who are the worst /pfg/ lays?
[Angry Drake Noises]
>Who are the least lewd?
So far, everyone's apps have been lewd across a few games. But consistently, I think Tuvarkz and AnonMD
>Who do you wish would PM you
Wist maybe one day, my sweet Aussie flower

*martial artist class

I'd say she's more of a gay space socialist. And you can never have too many gay space socialists.

>Aussie
>GMT+8
>Aussie
Pretty sure Aussieland is like GMT +10

Unless otherwise noted by archetype or special power, Monks are just barred from advancing in the class if they stop being Lawful.

Monks retain class features so the idea behind it is that they can't grow stronger if they abandon self-discipline, but their lessons are still in their bodies. I suppose it does cover for the scenario where a warrior is lost in his own fury, but I don't like it at all.

>mfw still waiting for the v14 playtest of Avowed
>mfw I want to play one but I had told my GM I was going to wait for the next update

I-it's coming, right? It's just gonna be big, that's why it's taking so long, right? Did PoW Errata kill Tav?

I dunno
See the problem is how monks might be lawful locked but they don't literally have any flavor or mechanical features that make it make sense for you to be Lawful. A Paladin is literally a personification of Great Justice but a monk is...what, just a dude who punches shit.

+8 is close to Asia, isn't it?

Welcome to /pfg/! We have so little to talk about that we kinda just bs a lot of the time.
This is due to Paizo, the maker of Pathfinder and soon to be Starfinder, has a bad habit of releasing garbage and continuing to heighten their Ivory Tower. I hope this won't be the case with Starfinder but who knows.

When ever Paizo releases something Good for a change, this general tends to go back to theory crafting and buildposting/Idea spitting.

Is wist a Siberian or Chinese?

YOU WANNA BE A NONLAWFUL MONK? BETTER FUCKING SHELL OUT TO BE AN AASIMAR, OR BE ADOPTED BY ONE, BECAUSE FUCK YOU FOR WANTING TO BE A COOL PUNCHY MYSTICAL FISTGUY OTHERWISE
>t. paizo

d20pfsrd.com/traits/race-traits/enlightened-warrior-aasimar-idyllkin/

That, or take the Martial Artist archetype (which isn't available to Unchained Monks for some stupid reason).

>Antarctica, Brunei, Mongolia, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Macau, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan
Basically Wist is a qt Ashen.

just homebrew it away

"Subterfuge is not always about lurking in the darkness, some shadows remain hidden in the light. A hair's breadth separates truth from lies, and none will gaze beyond the illusion to see my true face."

Tricksters should take a lesson from Lin Xue Ya.

Aussie is actually split into 5 timezones! 4 of which are mainland and one is their governed islands, iirc.

That's what I do all the time, obfuscate and give half-truths. Lies within lies.

well, it turns out Tav wasn't supposed to chat about the Errata or give insight about what she planned on doing, which she was doing on discord, haven't heard from her since. Discord wise at least. But the Errata basically fell onto her alone to deal with it iirc.

Why the fuck haven't we been talking about Ironfang Invasion?

>Martial Artist

I hate that archetypes mechanics so much, especially that shitty study mechanic that becomes excessively difficult to actually succeed at using.

A LMAO WITHIN A LMAO

You're gonna love Starfinder then.

>Implying she'll PM you when she's so busy handling the PMs she's already getting

Even if she takes three at once every day she might not have the time to send out her own PMs!

>Even if she takes three at once every day she might not have the time to send out her own PMs!
Reminder tha Wist is pure.

I want to make a cute Avowed for Flower Court! What sort of role or Avowed "type" is needed?

>Tav taken out by the DSP mafia

Did they get Forrest too, or is she still safe in her bunker?

Man fuck starfinder, I don't give a shit about it until I see hard, finalized rules.

>scifi and not fantasy
Nope
