Devouring Beast Edition:

If you introduced Ungermaws into your campaign, how would you do it? A curse brought on by a discovered spawn of Rovagug? Maybe a relatively benign strain of ghoul fever? Or just a very very hungry person?

Old thread:

Why are dragons so hungry?

Something something Seven deadly sins. Something something personification... yadda yadda.

We were on page 7 you autist!

Post more dragon princesses.

As a new deadly addition to the capabilities of gigantic alchemical monstrosities created by a certain kingdom.

So! Who all's looking forward to the weekend? Any big plans, game-related or otherwise?

how about a queen?

Hoping to actually finish a bit of solo, pre-joining the party that the DM has me doing. It would be really nice to actually meet the party next session.

I want to blow a big raspberry on DP1's stomach and play with her belly fat!

There would be multiple sources. Rovagug's hunger would certainly make sense. Linking it with one of the Seven Deadly Sins is flavorful, but the Void is also an option. The void is sometimes portrayed as endless hunger, so it works well as tapping into its power. It's probably the most neutral of the sources. I would be open to player input, obviously.
Tomorrow, I'm going out with friends, then hopefully playing Pathfinder all night. Then, I sleep for a few hours and run a Shadowrun campaign that has been on hiatus for 2 weeks because a player was moving. Finger's crossed, last Pathfinder session got cancelled.

I'll check here to see if any interesting games pop up, but I don't have much faith anything will stick out and not be filled with lewds and anime, so whatever.

What about you? Any fun plans?

Even better!

Saturday night game is happening and I'm hyped!

What are you hyped for?

Will your character be joining them on good terms?

Could I use the SF rules to run a PF campaign? Is anyone else thinking of doing this?

Please don't just post images. Include them with messages, but you'll eat up post and image limit with just images.

What exactly do you mean? Like replacing combat rules of PF with those of SF? If you're using all of the SF rules, you're just running SF in a different setting. Which parts are you thinking about porting over?

We don't know how easy it'd be yet, as we don't have access to Starfinder rules until August 17th.

For the moment, though? I'd say it's quite likely to work.

Inb4 harvest festival horseshit

Classes are going to be pretty tricky for something like that.

How about a prince?

None besides the weekly game at the moment. I may try and gather some friends to go see Spiderman.

What sort of game would you be interested in?

Should be on neutral to good terms, yes. I seem to be in the area that they're going to be headed for, though my solo bit is set "before" the current events of the party, so it looks like I'll have been closer to their location after my solo bit, and lead them back to the stuff I'm doing now.

That's entirely fair,

The book itself lists an example of "Eating a devouring beast out of desperation and being forever changed by it. Like a Mimic."

That's always an interesting look at it. Really eating something you shouldn't have is a very good way to become an Ungermaw.

No prey big enough to fully satisfy their apetites.

Gonna hunt some werewolves probably.

I got a few myself.

That works too.

Well mine at least is PLD

That's not really any better, user.

There are Ungermaws in my campaign, and how they come about varies depending on the Ungermaw. The Tarrasque Spawn of the desert often become Ungermaws because it's just their nature to consume everything, and many try and seek out where their progenitor is imprisoned to try and gnaw him free. The humanoid abominations called the Smiling Elves occasionally become Ungermaws through dark rites to The Lord of Teeth, although they generally prefer Shifters instead. Very rarely a member of a more normal race will be one thanks to either extraplanar corruption, strange rituals, or some freak accident of birth. Its a pretty rare class in the world, and most folk don't even know what an Ungermaw is, but to a select few cults and scholars they are a subject of great interest.

Depends on which of my campaigns, but would probably reserve it for one I'm working up where everyone is gestalted with Henshin Hero (and henshin hero gets adapted to work off the key ability scores of the other class). Then the ungermaw is just a power they get, whether from transforming or being a monster of the week.

Fair enough

Werewolves are a fearsome foe. Have you made preparations?

Make a sacred vow to kill an eat a stronger creature every week.

its the most noble way to become an Ungermaw.

I was interested in the talk of a super hero vigilante game. If that user chooses to run it, I'd be happy to apply. I mostly avoid lewd games, as I've ERP'd with people before, and I generally find it boring. I only do it when I'm drunk now, since it makes me laugh. I'm not fond of ripping anime archetypes wholesale. When somebody goes tsundere or something else, their speech is very... predictable. And it doesn't feel organic. Not to say it's bad, it's just not something I find engaging in roleplay. If apps are leaning more anime, I usually don't bother, since I don't want to be a buzzkill if I get in. For something comic booky, though, I'd be more forgiving, since they're kinda campy anyway.

I hope your friends go see it with you. Sounds like a good time.

The party is ready for them. Plus, this isn't the first time me and my buds dealt with werewolves.

I'm making a tech dungeon delving treasure hunter type for Iron Gods. Mechanically human or android both work well and either could fit the setting pretty nicely. But I'm not too familiar with androids, are they totally emotionless? Normally I imagine treasure hunting rogue-ish types to be very animated.

convince me why I shouldn't play an android flamethrower girl in Starfinder

Posting Hushabye also brings up monstrous races that are usually predators by nature. They have a shark lady of some sort that devours everything in the canal where she lives.

If the campaign is high enough level that you get the power to eat spells, it could actually be considered a form of anti-mage spec ops. Units moving against powerful casters consist of at least 1 Spell Eater. The hunger could be a result of being implanted with some sort of demon parasite that is known to allow the devouring of spells if fed enough to reach the necessary level. There could be side effects to this that affects the personality, ability to empathize, and such. They could be feared for the rumors swirling around about them. I... could get behind this.

No, because I want you to play an Android flamethrower girl in Starfinder.

Why would we? That sounds great.

Why would I do that? That sounds like it could be fun, and you should probably do it the minute you are able.

> waiting for a non-erp, normal, yet well-designed game to start

It's not going to happen is it.

do it faggot

Human Incanter 1
Abilities: 7,11,14,20,13,8
Spheres: Creation
Talents: Change Materials, Expanded Materials, Alchemic Mastery, Exquisite Detail
Drawbacks: Skilled Casting[Knowledge (cuisine)]
Feats: Cantrips, ???


What should the last feat go to? He's supposed to be an expert in transmuting things that are edible (though not creating. I only kept creation so he could weaponize food science), but he needs to know how to use something culinarily in order alter it

I'm actually building a character for one right now.

Mine is just a very unique Cacodaemon

Is she going to be a redhead? Or is she going to have that synthetic hair like they have in the Technology Guide where you color it like rising flames.

It's going to happen, just not as non-ERP as you might like - I mean, it really does depend on what you consider ERP. Do you consider a particularly well-endowed woman to be ERP?

>"Anyone else want to head to the bakery later? I could go for some cake."
>"you just ate 3 ogres, and an ox. how are you still hungry?"
>"Yeah but i could go for some real food."

Or

Categorizing a character's party members by taste.

>Do you consider a particularly well-endowed woman to be ERP?
Yeah, people making characters for lewdshit is pretty cancer tier.

You wont. Pussy.

Large breasts does not a smut character make. You could have a completely normal character with tits the size of their head.

Despite the racial trait and the really dumb Paizo FAQ androids do have emotions, they're just dulled quite a bit compared to humans.

It's the motivations of the person making it that worry me.

How do I make this guy

I don't like that they made eating corpses evil, but didn't make shoving somebody into a stomach dimension to be digested evil. That seems odd to me.

Probably Synthesist Summoner or Aegis. But BnHA is better served by other systems, honestly. Maybe Mutants and Masterminds.

>You could have a completely normal character with tits the size of their head.
Microcephaly is a real nasty thing.

What sort of intentions would you be worried about? Because the wanton seductress with a sharp tongue and heavy bosom isn't quite uncommon in fiction.

Good.

Thanks

I most certainly will

You bet

A large-chested pleasure bot who was press-ganged into service by pirates, and now enjoys burning things just as much as she does boning them

Can't tell me how to live my life bitch

Eating the corpses of your foes is only evil when viewed by the town guard. has Skyrim taught you nothing?

Because numeria doesn't have flamethrowers

I'm reading through the people of the stars now. It sounds like the sense motive penalty could be played off in a fun way, taking things very literally for example.

They're just making their character porn bait. I would be wary of anyone playing up their characters bust size unless I've played with them for a while.

>A large-chested pleasure bot who was press-ganged into service by pirates, and now enjoys burning things just as much as she does boning them

If she doesn't have an endless stream of fire-based innuendos when dragging a party member to bed, you might as well shelve the concept right here and now.

What's a little cannibalism between friends?

t. Completely Innocent Ungermaw

But does it? I doubt anyone really considers it ERP if you happen to be playing a woman who is sexy, or has a sexual background, or even profession. Human beings are sexual creatures. It's just part of life. But it gets into ERP when acting out sexual scenes is a required part of game play.

If the GM is explicitly asking how close to ERP you're willing to get, that's a pretty clear signal. If the game intentionally pushes sexuality as a core theme, that's another. In those sorts of games, the GM clearly wants someone willing to act it out.

I don't mind that people want that sort of thing. It's just not what I want. I want adventure. Exploration. Stabbing dragons in the neck. Being big god damn heroes... or die trying. Lewd can be a tasty side dish instead.

Well, for one thing, one way or the other you lose friends

>What's a little cannibalism between friends?
My thoughts exactly!

>if you happen to be playing a woman who is sexy, or has a sexual background, or even profession
I kinda do, maybe not ERP but I don't want that at my table.
>Lewd can be a tasty side dish instead.
I don't want lewd at the table at all. That's the thing.

NO
SHE IS FOR LOVE
NOT FOR EATING

Then you might be a fucking prude user.

How foolish of me! I apologize.

Ungermaw will actually struggle with Freedom of Movement until Jotunjaw, which is a bit unfortunate. They have no good way of dealing with it in a timely manner. I sorta wish they had something like the Tetori's ability to surppress or dispel as a Swift or Immediate instead of a Standard, since that would allow them to shut down FoM before the opponent could give them the slip. It makes the Draw Breathe option for consuming more appealing, really. Since you can get them down in one turn. And with Projectile Puke, a dexmaw is actually incredibly viable. You don't need str to damage if you're firing off enough metal to deal 160d6 damage.

"You know, I was originally built to help keep beds warm~."

"Baby, you're like the fuel to my pilot light- I'm burning, but you get me started~"

"Think you wanna put that poker of yours to the chest? C'mon- I've got a mound you can use it on, but you better be able to handle the heat!"

Suggetions are certainly welcome

You just don't want sex at the table at all? That's a huge part of the human condition that you're putting away. There are ways to use it while not detracting from core game play. Jokes. Flirtation. Fade to black tavern and camp scenes.

There's a woman in my current party who I'm pretty sure has never gotten laid at any point ever, but tosses out raunchy humor at regular intervals, and it's always a good laugh. I can't see how that's a bad thing.

Make one for Iron Gods

She doesn't mind, you know.

>Then you might be a fucking prude user.
I just want RPG time and happy ecchi porn time separate. If that makes me a prude, than a prude I am.
>You just don't want sex at the table at all?
No. I'm fine with jokes and stuff like that but I don't trust /pfg/ to not obsess over sex to the point that it detracts from the core game play.

Yea but how do I make a flamethrower-using android girl in Pathfinder? What's a good Dex/Int class that does fire-based burninating and isn't gimped by adamantine? Should I make her a psion or what?

to the test* not to the test, autocorrect c'mon

I know, and that's what makes it worse.
She's too soft and lovely.

> I don't trust /pfg/ to not obsess over sex to the point that it detracts from the core game play.

Yeah I get it. That's why I'm hunting for a non-lewd game. If the lewd factor has to be pointed out, I'm pretty sure that's the point of the game, if you know what I mean.

> I don't trust /pfg/ to not obsess over sex to the point that it detracts from the core game play.
I'll clarify that I wouldn't trust randoms to do that too. I'd be fine with a group I trust making raunchy comments on occasion because I know that's not where their primary interest in the game and their characters lie.
That's how I feel.

>I think Kineticists of Porphyra is allowed. You could try Jolly's int kineticist with a fire focus. I don't know if it stacks with the Elemental Scion but if it does then you've got extra burning.

Plus the more she burns the more disoriented and ditzy she gets

How much does Radiation get involved with Iron Gods. I can't help but recall a book giving an archetype for radioactive kineticists...

C'mon, user!

That's actually a really cool idea.

You are shit out of luck. Not only are blaster wizards, alchemists and kineticists pretty much only flamethrower types while others just kinda burn there is not a single flamethrower tech weapon. There are plasma and laser cannons but no flamethrowers

>Should I make her a psion or what?
>psions
>good at blasting
No.

As somebody who was messaged daily for ERP in my last game that was going to have "mature themes," I can completely understand not trusting people to be mature about it. I told the player no multiple times, but they just would not stop. One of them tried to take my character forcefully, but she was a grapple monster and could have easily killed him, so he didn't get far.

>tfw you take the burninator home after a particularly harrowing battle and tucc her

She's a pure cupcake that just happens to be wonderfully masochistic and good for tying.
I want to take care of her forever.

>You could try Jolly's int kineticist with a fire focus
That archetype is ass though. Which is a shame. There really aren't any good Int based blasters outside of Sphere combos.

Heroes of the Darklands but it's a pretty shit archetype.

>Suggetions are certainly welcome

>Something something fire-crotch
>Something something real heat between the sheets
>Something something her massive "fuel cells" need some "stimulation" to "get her worked up."

Should I roll up an incanter, hedge witch or sphere alchemist? My character is basically supposed to be Edward Elric meets Gordon Ramsey

I'm going to play a radiation focused character
>In an AP about fighting robots

>THAT IS A CLEAN BURNING BOT, I TELL YOU HWAT

Ungermaws being a sort of bioweapon designed to take down mages and big baddies sounds perfect.

Especially with the side effects.

>Became an Ungermaw for King and country.
>Stayed an Ungermaw for the "Free" food

Pick up war sphere with Battlefield Manipulation drawback and Position Rally, move as an immediate action.
Pick up warp sphere with Self-Only and Emergency Teleport to achieve the same effect.
Or to save spell points, haste yourself with the Time sphere.
Or take a level of incanter with Destruction specialization to get the ability to move 20 feet as a swift action a bunch of times a day.
The time and warp books will probably provide more ways to do it as well. Then you can be mystic assault with your two-hander all you like (or just use a bow).

That she certainly is. Though you're omitting one particular quirk she likes to abuse.

How is the Blaster archetype for Armorists?

Thanks! I might... fiddle with this idea.

Pretty bad, but it would fit what you want.
