Because people think all tieflings have huge dicks and ignore everything else about the character. Even the girls. ESPECIALLY the girls, apparently.
Chase Martinez
Which class makes a good switch hitter? Can switch hitters even be decent? Is it better to just focus on one avenue?
I mean a Magus is both zap zap and shank shank but a pure fighter will always hit better and a wizard will always zap better right?
Carson Green
Living Legend Soulknife is a decent switch-hitter. But really, in PF, switch-hitting is asking to be suboptimal, as specialisation is the name of the game.
Nathan Hill
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA EXHACK UPDATE YOUR SHIT
This is true in basically every system; switch hitters have always relied on their versatility and lack of any obvious weakness to make it work. A Fighter gets shut down when something has DR20/ Magical Fire or something and a Wizard just stops functioning within an AMF, but a Magus can make both work.
Chase Lee
>I mean a Magus is both zap zap and shank shank but a pure fighter will always hit better and a wizard will always zap better right?
A magus is pure zap shank and will fall apart the second that fails to be relevant. Insert long, autistic rant about the magus here.

Have to admit. Does kinda suck. I'm getting a Kindle and may just cancel my preorder of the rulebook to deny them money and download pdf.
Elijah Clark
If was was to look at 1pp, is Ranger a good pick? Or maybe Slayer?
So are you guys saying that what Magus lacks in specialty, they make up for flexibility right? Could the same be said of a switch hitter? If you already have a front line fighter and a ranged guy, would a switch hitter be a good supplement?
Angel Campbell
Definitely Ranger of those two. Ranged sneak attacks are a pain and a half to get working, so much that you'll have to devote pretty much all of your resources to that alone if you want to do ranged shenanigans as a Slayer.
Bentley Hall
>>So are you guys saying that what Magus lacks in specialty, they make up for flexibility right? In theory.
Zachary Nguyen
>So are you guys saying that what Magus lacks in specialty, they make up for flexibility right? >Magus >Flexibility If that's how you call using Shocking Grasp all day every day as literally every single of your spell slots, sure.
Jace Mitchell
Shocking Grasp takes up a lot of the 1st level spell slots I admit but you still have the other level spell slots. If you have magical lineage and intensified spell you can get upgrades shocking grasp for level 1 still. That frees up more of your other spell slots. If you get pearls of power you can then free up some of your level 1 spell slots. Don't forget you can always use some cheeky arcane mark to get spell combat off.
Nicholas Powell
I prefer Brand over Arcane Mark as it feels less dirty.
William Diaz
You know, even if you ignored everything that user was complaining about, the setting would still be a dry space fantasy padded out with literal copy+pastes of Pathfinder.
Abadar's megacorporation is literally called AbadarCorp.
Parker Wilson
You know, I never have this problem. Probably because I use my spell combat for crowd control and mass assault instead of extra damage agaisnt a single target.
I think that Veeky Forums has tunnel vision about how magus is capable of working.
Wyatt Anderson
Brand? How do you get Brand for the Magus? I had to use Spell Blending just to get Touch of Fatigue.
I would do this to but I am running a Bladebound Kensai with limited spells. So I kind of have to focus on the Shocking Grasps. Then again as I mentioned before, , I got Pearls of Power to help me now.
Eli Reyes
>Brand? How do you get Brand for the Magus? I had to use Spell Blending just to get Touch of Fatigue. Hexcrafter.
Austin Ramirez
Hexcrafter adds all curse spells to his spellbook automatically, and there are a LOT of curse spells. And he gets to use spellstriken with curses despite their ranges.
PS: If you didn't take close range arcana, you're an idiot.
Adam Barnes
My problem personally is how ubiquitous the "Dervish Dancer with Intensified Shocking Grasp+Metamagic Trait(s)" build is and how there's 0 fucking support for anything else. Sure, you CAN do things besides shocking grasp and there's lots of cool shit to do with your spell list... But at the end of the day, you're still at best a slight variation on the exact same cookie cutter build that can't even pretend to have variations.
Armor and Pool Enhancement progressions need to be altered so you had more control over it, and a "burn a pool point/spell slot for [CL]d6 touch attack of any energy type you want" should have been a core feature instead of only having shocking grasp.
Kayden Davis
I missed the part were Hexcrafter gets you all spells with the Curse descriptor. I thought that Hexcrafter just got you Witch spells and stuff. So when I looked at Brand all I saw was the Inquisitor.
Easton Reyes
If it was (SP) instead of (SU) they probably would have done that, but the lack of AoO and dispels agaisnt pool strikes is pretty good since it's (Su).
I deifntiely agree with the Arcane Pool enhancements though.
Luke Bennett
Unironically a Legendary Kineticist with Kinetic Blade and Weapon Finesse. You'll have oodles of HP, be pretty dang hard to hit if you pump Dexterity, if you pick a good elemental defense you can stack a miss chance, DR, or even MORE hp on top of that, and your kinetic blade will be doing reasonable damage as it scales upwards with level.
If your GM allows the "big three" Kineticist 3pp stuff (from DSP, Legendary Games, and KoP) you can cheese this even harder. Take one of those traits to count as another creature type (i.e any that qualifies you for Altered Life), pick up Altered Life, Mind Afire, Weapon Finesse, and then Flashy Finesse. It's four feats but you now have CHA to HP, to-hit, and to-damage with your kinetic blast. Adding Unnatural Resilience and Steadfast Personality is just icing on the cake for it. It's pretty much all of your feats until level 7-9 but it is entertaining to theorycraft it
If you're not interested in Hexcrafter for some reason or want to play with an archetype that's incompatible with it, but still want Brand, there's always the Two-Worlds Magic trait that lets you pick a cantrip from another class' list and add it to your own list.
Another Unchained Magus homebrew y/n?

Christopher Kelly
Pool Strike's progression is garbage, its cost is garbage, its followup arcana are garbage (and too expensive to use), and since it's not baked into the class by default there's literally no reason to ever bother with it. Switching it to being a (sp) ability that acts completely like a spell would be a small price to pay if it meant it could be buffed in such a way as to unseat Shocking Grasp's monopoly on basic offensive options.
Another Unchained Magus homebrew y/n? If you want to go for it, sure, though an UMagus should probably end up with a similar direction as Unchained Monk. If I had the time, I probably try my hand at something, but alas.
Tome Smiter had a good idea with its smite ability, but was an abysmal clusterfuck of conflicting ideas and execution.
Oh yeah I agree 100%. I'm never using Golarionverse for Starfinder. I'm hoping the setting isn't too integrated with the rules since I'd want to do something that's less "fantasy races transplanted IN SPACE" and more something like Destiny I guess.

To a large degree this is true. That's why APs aren't normally written with strong attractive male characters. Betamax players would fear getting cucked.

Are there feats similar to the Horrifying Mind trait where attempting to read your mind can backfire?
Michael Thompson
Two-Worlds trait seems very good but I keep leaning towards Magical Lineage as a better pick. It sucks you cannot pick both.

Unfortunately, user, for all of their talk about shaming those who self-shill, the /pgg/lets here won't so much as give you the time of day if you don't shill your character. The most you'll get is a brief acknowledgement, maybe getting included in one of those roundups, and that's that.
Isaac Morgan
the number of apps to speak of in detail is beyond the attention span of this general. Let them harp on the few while other people put out quality apps. It only makes later upsets all the sweeter.
Jaxson Taylor
Let's turn these frowns upside down! Tell me all about the character you're planning to make for Wrath of the Righteous, or indeed any characters you've made for Wrath of the Righteous in the past! What happened to any campaigns you've played in the Worldwound? What did your character do when they walked away from The Threshold as a god(dess)-in-flesh?
Jordan Fisher
mythic is such unbalanced bullshit that removes all sense of threat because action economy abuse and wildly overpowered options that don't give mythic enemies the space to react.
It makes the rocket tag of pathfinder into super-omega-nuke tag and fails to deliver on what you wanted from the ruleset, narrative power.
Martials just hit harder, casters just invalidate more of the world with spells. No ability to perform herculean tasks with your might or steal the color out of someone's eyes.
Currently playing in a WotR campaign as a tiefling in disguise fightin' bard. Just got out of the caves, heading into the city proper. I'm actually having a lot of fun!
You really need to stop expecting the ruleset to cover everything and go for more rules-light systems that offer the flexibility to do whatever you want.
Wyatt Howard
Unicorn is disgusting. What poor son of a bitch would have this as their theme.
Guys, guys, hear me out: An Int/Cha-dependant Alchemist archetype. Sidestep Secret, +Cha to a bunch of shit, more class skills, a Versatile Performance or two, the works.
>Thinking about making a Hellknight character for TWtR >Wake up this morning >Fucking Halae has made one >mfw its actually decent FUCK!! Now I have mixed feelings of being frustrated and impressed.
Though I guess with both characters being from different orders and fulfilling different roles, it could probably still work.

Isn't there a Cavalier Order that would be perfect for a Hellknight Pikeman? Something something Order of the Pike?

Okay, so, Scarlet Throne or Iron Tortoise? Playing a Noble-turned-Crusader, and I'm primarily wielding a Longsword, with the occasionaly Longbow as back-up.
Or should I go full ham and make it Thrashing Dragon. I wanted to try and avoid this because I'm playing a half-drow and didn't want people to throw allegations of ripping off Drizz't
