What about 3pp domains?

This is the reason I default to Zweihander Sentinel when I make a defensive knight dude. I love shields and I just want them to be usable. God damn it.

Too lazy to comb through all of them and find the good ones. For now, jut stick to 1pp to make things easier

I'd be genuinely amazed if anyone who's seen him talk about pathfinder would even consider joining his game.

What's your favorite class/archetype to play and why?

Mine is Merciful Healer!

I like helping people!

Hope you know that RAW you have to be True Neutral, since to be an alignment other than TN they need the corresponding alignment's Domain.

Well I guess he can either have 5 Domains then, or just replace Fire with Evil

Occultist

Kineticist (but only with third-party)

My favorite class has to be Hunter. I love the way it interacts with things, I love having a pet

My favorite archetype is less clear. I haven't had a chance to play it yet, but I really love the Devil Binder summoner archetype; it absolutely cripples the summoner's combat ability, but it just has so much damn style.

In theory:
>Kineticist
>Medium (Spirit Dancer)
>Vigilante

In Practice:
>Unchained Rogue/Rogue (properly archetyped)
>Occultist
>Bard

Why does nobody sign up to /pfg/ games with drow?

because drow are gay

I love mobile fighters, so Monk and Swashbuckler are typically my go-to.

It helps that our games don't tend to have much magic.

I've never signed up to a /pfg/ game yet and honestly, I don't think people would be down with how I'd play drow.

Exactly, so: why does nobody from /pfg/ sign up?

ARGENTUUUM.

because you're gay and touch yourself at night

Because Drowanon lurks in the shadows. As soon as a drow appears, he'll PM them

Tend to not fit appropriately for most games/settings/campaigns

Pretty much this. The only drow character I've played was in Iron Gods, and they spent most of that campaign masked, in armor, avoiding the front lines.

I think Cavaliers are really fun and cool. I also enjoy Oracles but mostly because of the flavor the curses provide.

Dubs demand I ask what he did?

Did it turn out that JttW was a ruse cruise?

Barbarian. I unironically like playing a basic bitch bruiser with a big-ass sword.

Check Ensoulment.

Wrong meme game.

"Joke apps" are a plague

How does Paizo Psionics stack up against DSP in terms of fun and usability?

It's shit. It's basically usual spontaneous casting but with a slightly different spell list.

I was making some warhammer lego in another thread and decided to make the starfinder iconics. Enjoy. Or don't I guess.

Nice!

Really cool. They have some kind of lego thing for Destiny as well. I am considering getting it because I couldn't get any of the pre-order swag

Big titty witches

If you want reactions, you should post the level 8 ability.

>mfw Nyarlathotep is now a core deity in Starfinder

It's gonna get weird.

How many children can a tiefling produce supposing that she's 68 years old and she looks like she's still in her 20?

What is this from?

Legacy of the First World

Okay, after some quick research, human women usually hit puberty at 11 and menopause at 51. So that's 40 years, 480 months, where an average human can have children. Tieflings have an absolute maximum age of 850, as opposed to human 110, so let's say that they take ~7.5 times as long to age as humans. Tiefling adulthood is 60 as opposed to human's 15 in Pathfinder, so let's say they take 4 times as long to mature.

So if we accept these assumptions, the average tiefling woman hits puberty at 44 and menopause at 382 and a half. That gives us 4,062 months where this tiefling can get pregnant. Assuming the same monthly cycle of fertility and the same nine-month pregnancy, that gives us ~440 children under ideal conditions, closer to 400 maximum.

If you meant how many children your tiefling could already have had, she'd have been capable of having children for 24 years, or 96 months, so probably around 10, maximum. If you mean how many more she could theoretically have, ~390-430 depending on how obsessively she times this shit.

Whoops, I fucked that up, 24 years is 288 months, so that's like 28-30 kids. But that also assumes you're a-okay with her getting knocked up right from the moment she officially becomes a teenager, which I really hope you aren't. She's been an adult for 8 years, which actually is 96 months, so the non-creepy answer works out to the same for the first question, 10 kids up until now, and up to 370-410 more until menopause.

>But that also assumes you're a-okay with her getting knocked up right from the moment she officially becomes a teenager, which I really hope you aren't.

Don't people get viciously slaughtered every day in Pathfinder? I feel like this bit is small potatoes, especially if she's a highly advanced demonperson anyway.

Well, yes, but people tend to be more comfortable with violence than kiddy rape in their games, plus historically speaking child marriage and pregnancy wasn't actually as common as rumor has it in the areas Pathfinder draws inspiration from. There's Qadira and other desert shitholes, I guess, but most civilized nations won't let that fly, generally speaking.

How old would she be assuming that they waited for her to be her equivalent of 13 years?

That's a fair point. Even if there's love, wait for your waifu.
And if she grows up and dumps your crazy ass, fuck, I guess you should've found an older waifu, huh?

No exact idea, but tieflings hit adulthood in 4 times the time humans need, so I was assuming that until they stopped growing they grew up 4 times as slowly in general. So, 52, I guess. 16 years, 12 months a year, 192 months, ~21 kids under optimal conditions or more realistically 19. Again, I still advise and urge against actually applying these calculations to a game.

Shit, fucking tieflings. Leave one fertile female with a partner long enough and she produces a whole clan/tribe of people all by herself. She can field an army from her breeches.

Do people actually RP in this game? A lot of places I look its always discussions about racing to get x gold to get x magic item and munchkin x build. Wtf? Why not play a video game or something?

Very slowly, yeah, but assuming that all human races are roughly the same as humans reproduction-wise, the same's true of any planetouched or other long-lived race like elves, dwarves, or whatever. Humans have an advantage in that their own kids grow up and start breeding faster.

Tiefling Kid 1 takes 60 years to start producing babies (hopefully), and so do all her hundreds of kids. Meanwhile, a human can get 4 generations of kids by the time the tiefling's first generation is ready to reproduce. Even if you make the tieflings or whatever breed early, the humans will breed earlier at a proportionate rate too.

Not like aasimar are any better. I mean, Sleep's rocking one and that horndog is hitting on a woman who looks and acts like a grandma.

Yes they do. We just talk mechanics because, well, you can RP in any fucking system you want, but Pathfinder's mechanics can only be discussed in a Pathfinder thread.

Here's your (You). On the off chance you're actually serious, yes, plenty of people RP but you can't come up with objective metrics for RP the way you can count gold or stats or whatever so the latter gets discussed more online.

Stay here long enough and you'll wish people stopped taking about their roleplaying.

Is anyone else even waiting to apply to Ensoulment?
Also
>Isao gone
hahaha wew

I'm waiting to reapply.

I have my app complete. I'm waiting on posting it though, in case more setting details prompt a rewrite and to confirm my own schedule.

People complained when we talked about everything we roleplayed.

Should I only allow a SoP-only game (no other 3PP, not even the base paizo material and associated class conversions, such as Sphere Wizard)?

Most of my players agreed to try out a PoW only game but they got bored fast, like within 6 sessions, for some reason (I was away for that campaign for my finals). They said SoP should have less of that issue.

Sounds cuhrazy but your players probably know this better than us.

5 bucks that there're two Ensoulment groups, and group 2 is filled with memesters.

>memesters

W-who's a memester?

Is ironfang still not announced? I'm waiting for DHb to by btfo.

Can you enchant a shield to be both a +1 (weapon) flaming shield and a +1 (armor) bashing shield?

yea

No but you can enchant the shield spikes on the shield to be one a weapon, but those enchant costs are different to the shield armor one.

Like this?

>implying it wasn't a bamboozle
All games running that AP are cursed

How would you reflavor your magical realm /pgg/lets?

>595kb paragraph of text

Jesus christ.

I'm waiting to hear back on Ironfang. I also am just finishing up some deets. I highly suspect that my app won't get into the game but since he added the little "They'll still be present in the world." thing I will apply anyways since I think they'd be a fun side character for whoever the main group ends up being.

It's a phoneposter.

You know, this makes me wonder how long-lived races treat their children. I mean, you can theoretically have hundred of them over decades. In no time, you get tens of thousands of grand-children. Obviously, the typical family pack cant sustain itself with such numbers.

Well, technically a human woman can have like 48 children but in almost all cases, they don't. Largely because they couldn't afford that. So each family member, assuming they're at least moderately rational, intelligent people, only has as many children as they support.

Actually, tell me about Spheres of Power.
I didn't really have a chance to look at it yet.

You love every last one of them.

You just... you know... can't remember which is which.

I'm checking people's availability right now. You should have received a PM if you are on the short list. Some of them have replied to me that they are occupied though

Light Blindness sucks ass

What's the most Punk region of Golarion to hail from?

What should be the consequences for play off a daughter (not yours) and the mother?

Okay Veeky Forums, I need for advice for an upcoming game.
A long time ago, our group was TPK'd by Mokmurian (a stone giant wizard 14). His notable spells are solid fog, wall of force, some save-or-die spells (flesh to stone, baleful polymorph, disintegrate), reverse gravity and limited wish.
We're going to have a rematch against this motherfucker with new characters (level 11). The question, obviously, is how do we beat him. I don't want to build my character specifically to screw him. I made an archaeologist bard 6 / swashbuckler 5 with very high melee attack and damage, and some nice utility spells. What magic items and tactics should I use to avoid getting disintegrated or spending the fight in the solid fog ?
The rest of the party is an inquisitor, a rogue and a gunslinger. I might consider dropping a level of swashbuckler in favor of bard 7 in order to get level 3 spells (namely haste).

>swashbuckler
>fighting a wizard without a dedicated spellcaster

I wouldn't be asking for advice otherwise

Hm, I'd say to go full bard. Both you and the inquisitor should grab Dispel Magic, and spam it when Wall of Force or Solid Fog are thrown around, then let the gunslinger and rogue DPR it down, probably buffing them up before the fight begins.

so I'm trying to convert some old 3.5 characters to PF. what's the closest thing pathfinder has to the Malconvoker?

The heck did a malconvoker do?

basically it was a prestige that let you summon evil creatures as a non-evil guy, with free buffs if you could pass a bluff check against them, plus it gave buffs to planar binding devils and demons and whatnot.

Don't forget the fact that you get an ADDITIONAL FREE SUMMONED MONSTER for each summoning. Having played one, I can't begin to tell you how huge this is.
