What your favourite method to make a character? Is there any archetype or cliches that you particularly like to use?
one of the people I'm gonna run a game for is playing an erastilian daddy
just thought i would let you all know
This is just asking for a deletion, mate
I just throw dice at the background generator in Ultimate Campaign until I get something that looks interesting.
I tend to make strong women with anger issues.
Unaging elven hands will never, ever develop calluses no matter how many times they get blisters. They have to protect their soft hands and arms while working or it just happens forever.
Elven laborers always start work by putting on bandage wraps from finger reaching up the arm. And the fact that their boys have the appearance of wearing prissy elbow gloves does not promote a reputation for elven manliness.
Anyway, you shouldn't tell your elven workers that "you get used to it" for this reason. They know every day will be painful forever.
I want to snuggle my elf farmer friends!
But you eat ice cream every day!
On the subject of elves.
Is it true that elves and helfs never get hangovers?
No.
Elves get -2 to Con, so they on average have worse Fortitude and thus are more likely to get hangovers than everyone else. They just developed cure-alls for it so we don't notice it.
Half-Elves are about the same on average as most humans.
update time we're now at two big bad baras going on an adventure to fuck up hobgoblins
should I run ironfang invasion like a stallone/arnie crossover action movie for them
I want my elven laborer husband to come home so I can unwrap his soft bruised flesh, put him into bath while I get dinner ready and prepare to put more bruises on him in the evening because I am a sadist and he is the spoils of war!
Elves were a mistake.
Elves are fine, it's Veeky Forums, /a/ and /h/ that ruins it.
Absolutely
How do you keep a martial relevant?
Repostan.
Dwarves are excellent beekeepers actually. The poison from a wasp swarm (aka bees) is dc13 con, and the +2 racial poison save on dwarves as well as +2con makes even a 'baseline' 10's before racial adjustment dwarf able to match the dc13 check just by taking 10.
So in a mountainous region with a lot of flowers, dwarves wouldn't even need beekeeper suits because the stings are basically harmless to them.
Honey and mead would be pretty big staples in dwarven cuisine. They might get into some cultivars like apples too, or things like berries. Wheats and grains are also probably common because the extra points of constitution make the prospect of using scythes to reap fields not quite-so-daunting. They also like easy to tend animals like goats and sheep, which often leads to cheeses.
Elves on the other hand get into more forest-garden type things, where they have cultivars like avocado's which contain basically everything one needs to get by in a single plant. They're established in 'groves' where you find a whole lot of overlapping harvestables, that you wouldn't even know were there unless you stumbled upon them. The idea of elven farmlands is a long-pondered mystery to many other races. Usually apprenticing druids tend these forest-gardens. Often these places will have wild animals like rabbits or fish that are part of the deal. Most people are free to wander in and help themselves, so long as they don't do tragedy of the commons shit (which is why apprenticing druids basically serve as 'park rangers' there).
en.wikipedia.org
Elves don't typically have breads or related products like pastries; they do trade for them though. "Noble" families typically have their own private grounds. Elven society doesn't have a lot of chefs, cooks or bakers, you kind of just wander into your grove-gardens and grab what you like.
>elven men forced to do cruel physical labor to rebuild their destroyed cities and roads during the day
>everything bruises them and everything hurts
>doting human occupier women make them home-cooked meals and snuggle them though
Play in campaign.
You'll find out what you need there.

Ban spells and make the enemies always attack the casters first.
...
Are ladyknights forever ruined by Tuvarkz's memes?
Can be a blackblade used by other people than the magus? is still a +X weapon with features?
...
Nah, just call them something else.
No, I don't even know who that is and no one can just 'ruin' the concept of a knight woman.
I'd imagine the Blackblade would be very unhelpful.
How would I play a noble half orc brawler?
...
>make a half orc brawler
>get the GM's approval
>play a noble half orc brawler
What, you want a personality? Boxing was seen as a gentleman's sport for a time. Be classically trained. You could be a rough and tumble noble who hid they're identity to fight in bag alleys growing up too.
Gather ‘round /pfg/ it’s time for a tale from the Flower Court, and the six saps duped into endowing it with a soul. I bring a tale of heroism, philosophy, and a bunch of random jackasses navigating the upper crust of society, and trying to be heroes! Virtues have mercy.
Cast:
Ichabod, CN Rogue – A devious master of trickery and deception, the greatest thief in all Lote—is what the whispers in the corners of the court say. Just a goofy kid, looking for a good time, and some people to share it with. Maybe. Probably. He hopes.
Sibyl Lichter, NG Vitalist – A taciturn girl from a remote corner of the kingdom, she seeks to mend both body and soul. Deeply empathetic, she’s abhors violence in all its forms. Bit of an enigma at the moment, since she seems to be biding her time, in preparation for something…
Rae, N Alchemist – The (not so) good doctor, summoned to provide the party with a scholarly and gleefully amoral perspective. The group’s resident spaghettimancer, though she seems to be warming up a little. She’s also totally in love with, and may be lightly stalking, the Court's famous scholar-poet, who will also be the one recording their story.
Derrin Kline, LG Paladin/Skald - A stupid kid from the former Bazarian empire, drawn to Lote in search of a purpose. Brash, compassionate, and almost suicidally reckless in the face of danger, Derrin serves as a continual reminder of their purpose and duty. Also, a big gay dork who’s doing her best to remain focused while surrounded by cute girls.
Sir Mathéo Le Guen, LG Warlord – A Knight sworn to the service of the Nymph who rescued him, journeyed to Lote, which they both saw as the last sanctuary for the virtues they both embraced. Currently the only real adult in the party, and constantly being surprised by the more outlandish behaviors of his comrades.
Illaria, CN Bard – A hedonistic cult leader, bringing her flock to Lore in search of a better life. Joined up because she wants to better everyone else’s lives,
So what is this exactly?
Do you think there will ever be a game that replaced Pathfinder?
Or are crunch heavy games dying out for good in the future
at least that’s what her followers say. Illaria has remained tight lipped on the subject. Beautiful and charming, almost a little too charming.
Session 0 – In Which our Heroes Meet and Greet
>Ichabod is the first one to arrive in the court, seeing as it’s but a short walk from the dungeons
>Proceeds to stuff his face at the buffet.
>Sibyl arrives next, choosing to sit at a lonely table on the edge of the court.
>Derrin arrives, wearing a poorly tailored outfit that chafes and scrapes something fierce.
>She immediately picks out Ichabod, who is already approaching her.
>Introductions are terse, but aided by Ichabod firmly planting himself at the table and refusing to move.
>Rae is the next to join the court, and the atmosphere immediately grows chilly, but warms as the duo flags her down to the table they hijacked from Sibyl.
>Rae manages to make it through introductions without screaming! However, she’s distracted by a handsome elf sitting on the far side from them.
>Cue several awkward minutes as the group tries to get Rae to go over and introduce herself.
>Fortunately Illaria breaks up the discussion before Rae drops too much spaghetti.
>A servant brings them drinks, Illaria conjures much more, and soon tongues are loosened enough for the party begin talking a bit about themselves.
>Somewhere amidst the revelry, Matheo joins them, and Illaria slips away to schmooze with some nobles, her work here done.
>Rae lets the wine go to her head, and demands to go explore the palace, dragging Sibyl and Matheo along with her.
Session 1 – In Which the Court Immediately Regrets This Decision
>The clock strikes noon, and the party is escorted into the inner court.
>The Princess gives a very difficult to follow speech that amounts to “this campaign is delusional, but delusion is the nutrient of the soul” and the court applauds politely, before ceding the floor to the party.
>Ichabod shows a modicum of good sense, and merely thanks the Princess for the chance to prove himself.
>Rae talks about her passion for science, then immediately begins hounding the Princess for information about the school she was promised.
>Princess panics a little, but is calmed by the king, who steps in to keep things moving forward.
>Illaria promises to “replace despair with delusion” which goes over as well as could be expected
>Sibyl reminds the party of why she’s the only Wis-based character, and says nothing.
>Matheo gives a short speech, before swearing his fealty to the Throne, bringing a bit of calm to the court. The King approves.
>Derrin’s speech can be summarized as flipping the bird to the entire court, as well as the representatives of all present religious, military, and scholarly institutions. Much to the King’s chagrin.
>The Princess liked it though! As did some Bazrian special forces(?) dude who was hanging out in the crowd.
>The party spends a few minutes conversing with members of the court, with Rae approaching her crush, Matheo spending a few moments with his lover, Illaria making some new friends, and Derrin/Ichabod talking with the Bazrian swordmaster.
>They are escorted into the war room for their first quest.
>Kobolds are strangely besieging a settlement in a neighboring kingdom. The King is elderly and prone to paranoid madness, so any official intervention by the Lote military may be an act of war.
>But the Ensoulment Project isn’t technically part of Lote’s military…
>The party enlists the help of a retired ranger to guide them through the mountains, and sets off at first light.
>Adventure and Glory!
>As if the sky itself knows of their venture, they awake to torrential rain.
>The rain continues throughout the day, and into the next.
>Around mid-afternoon a mudflow blocks their progress, and they cram themselves into a rocky outcropping.
>Adventure and Glory.
I hope not, the last time I played a Crunch light game another player just went "It was an Illusion" whenever it looked like he was going to be harmed. Dumbest gaiafag shit ever.
>While huddled together waiting for the rain to pass, they spot something odd. A mysterious figure, attended by faeries, steering down the mudslide on a wooden boat.
>The creature draws closer, and Derrin and Illaria recognize it as a Coryphae, a dancer of the Unseelie court
>After shouting over the storm, it seems the creature is named Aphio and is searching for the shawl of a Nereid which was swept away in the flashflood and which contains the Nereid's lifeforce.
>”What does it look like!?”
>”Water!”
>Sibyl leaps into action, using a waterwalking power to sprint out into the mudslide to aid the mysterious dark fey, without inquiry on the circumstances.
>Derrin spots it with detect magic, and Sybil brings it to safety with a string of great rolls.
>However, something seems off about the fey’s story.
Session 2 – In Which Our Heroes Are Tested For the First Time
>After tense negotiations the truth comes out. Aphio plans on using the shawl to force the Nereid to attend a dance at his Queen’s court.
>Aphio offers the party an invitation to the ball, in exchange for the shawl.
>An offer that no truly honorable person could accept!
>Aphio reminds them that it is either hand over the shawl and meet the Nereid at the ball, or be killed by or kill the only person who knows where to find the Nereid.
>Sibyl attempts to talk him into returning the shawl willingly, but he attempts to force her compliance through magic
>Blades are drawn as the party prepares to defend themselves!
>Derrin and Matheo engage the Fey Dancer, while the others begin swatting at Faeries.
>Aphio dances into the mudflow, attempting to gain a bit of space.
>Undeterred, the two knights give chase.
>Ichabod and Rae each managed to dispatch a faerie.
>Seeing her as the easier target, he sweeps Derrin up in a deadly dance, carrying her off into the raging torrent, and taking Matheo’s lance to the side in the process.
Shit, that's pretty good. Thanks.
nobody gives a fuck
>Derrin ain’t having none of that, and strikes home with sword and dagger, knocking her attacker into negatives and hauling him out of the mudflow without killing him, because screw his ultimatums.
>The remaining faeries flee, leaving the party with Aphio and two unconscious minions.
>They tie him up, and Sibyl awakens him with a kiss.
>Ashamed of his defeat, but unwilling to throw his life away, Aphio agrees to take them to the Nereid in the morning.
>Ichabod and Illaria turn out the Fey’s pockets, finding a small fortune in platinum.
>Rae tries to make friends with the faeries, who are surprisingly receptive to her efforts. Turns out a NE dark fey doesn’t make for the best master. Who knew?
>Pleased with their haul, the party sits down to play cards.
>Sibyl is disgusted by the behavior and takes her leave, with Derrin following after.
>The pair sit and watch the rain, saying little; with Derrin doing her best to smooth things over, but failing to find the words.
>Thus relieved of their consciences, the group proceeds to gamble with Aphio’s money, even forcing him to join in.
>Ultimately, in consideration of Sibyl, the party does not loot Aphio of more than he loses during the gambling.
>Illaria even attempts to work her magic on the hapless Fey, who sees through the gesture.
>Finally, the group beds down for the night.
>Illaria is on first watch, and dozes off for a moment to find Aphio is missing! Fortunately, the shawl is still safely concealed in Sibyl’s robe
>Fearing for the Nereid’s life, the party sets off immediately, with one of the Faerie’s leading the way.
>They travel through the night, crossing into the mountainous lands of a neighboring kingdom, and even seeing a Red Dragon framed against the rising sun.
>By mid-morning they reach the Nereid’s cave, a dank and lonely affair, at the bottom of a treacherous ravine.
>Our heroes make their way down the slope, and are greeted by a woman of unearthly beauty.
What system? That sounds more like the GM's fault if he wasn't regulating that bullshit.
>The entire party gets immediately fascinated.
>Fortunately, upon realizing why the party has come, the Nereid takes her shawl and urges them to make themselves at home.
>The happily fascinated party comply as she searches through her Ariel-esque hoard of human-things for their rewards.
END OF SESSION
Sorry for taking up so many posts! Honestly, waiting till the end of session 2 was probably a bad move, there was plenty of material in 0+1.
Stop please.
Triggered because for once it isn't Anime fetish shit so you can't wrap the sheet of your latest Kitsune bimbo around your cock and fap?
Back to f-list you NEET piece of trash.
What do orcs and halflings do for their foodz in terms of farming? I could see halflings fishing a lot because it's pretty easy.
Yo I wanna fuck that autistic princess.
The slow and extended descent of a man into madness. He's been using shell accounts to post and repost that thread for years
no, because I really don't care about Ensoulment. It was a meme game.
Not really. While streamlining is the current big sellers, trends are a circle. Give it a few years and there will be a Pathfinder 2 or Starfinder's rules adapted specifically for Pathfinder or some other spiritual successor.
>he heard about the 13 PAGES
Is it a custom encounter or build or what? I can't even decipher his autism.
Aren't all pfg games eventually called meme games?
Disk, come on.
There will never be Pathfinder 2
Everything is a meme game if it's posted here.
It's his 'proof' that sorcerers are stronger than wizards, but if you look at the build fucktons of it is based on shady rules interpretations or outright houserules.
>making a meme game comment like that.
Get a load of this meme game!
Fuck off Kawase
Don't meme game me you meme game
>Rae is a spaghettimaster
Adds color to her character, but didn't come across in her app at all.
So many people forget to talk about personalities in their apps when it's what matters more in day to day scenes than aspirations or backstory.
Thanks for the update, hope you guys are having and continue to have fun!
Not Kawase, I use quotation marks
That's awesome! I had no idea Sibyl was a smoocher
i fucking ahte the backstory wank of /pfg/
Honestly? Her personality was planned to be more serious but she's really turned out to be soft, Neutral in moral still, but sorely more cute than the cold woman I saw her to be.
She's a fucking nerd. Nerds never have play.
Can someone remind me why Derrin got in again? Because frankly she seemed like a shit app, and it sounds like she's continuing to be a shit character as well.
>year of our meme game 2017
>being this much of a fucking meme game
Top fucken cake
But seriously, fuck off
Do you want to meme game you little meme game? I'll meme game you into the fucking ground.
Anyone care to field this one? What are orc / halfling "farmers" like?
P-please, no. I was just funnin' with ya. I got a wife and kid!
Orcs would seem more nomadic to me. Less growing things and more herding.
I'm okay with it.
It's just baffling that you could write so much and still never touch on a huge aspect of how your character comes across in play.
Orcs are pseudo-Huns so herding rather than farming. Halflings grow weed.
Your wife and kid are gonna be meme games after I'm done with 'em.
>wishing fun upon anyone
Go back to 5eg, casual trash
It depends on your setting, the location, climate, soil, and society. If orcs aren't a monolith, they very likely farm different shit, possibly are hunter-gatherers, or some other thing. These groups aren't completely separate from each other, so it makes no sense to ask how orcs farm.
How do you figure? She's engaging with the others and the NPCs.
My god. What have I done? Jimmy, close your eyes. It'll all be over after a month of apps. Margeret, I... I love you. I'll submit a joke app in your memory.
Seems like he doesn't speak English very well to me. I don't know what would compel a person to take up the particular hobby of stringing together game-rule exploits in a language they aren't confident in.
It also seems like less about the for-fun thought exercises that those are normally intended to be than it does about winning some argument, out of desperate love of one class over its common comparison. I'm not even gonna say he's wrong, but just the fact that he wants it so much says he's probably not mentally well.
Fuck you got me. I laughed a lot harder than I should have.
WERLD BUILDING user. LET YER IMAGINASHUN RUN WYLD.
The agrarian tendencies of various fantastical cultures are a pet interest of mine, and did a heckin fantabulous job describing two societies, even using some fun in-game justerfications. It's the little details that help make characters interesting; especially when you learn how to tie them into the archetypical heroes journey and where they fit into the 'call to action' phase (aka why does the kid leave the farm).
Elves have it pretty easy, they just get to go grab snacks. Dwarves work hard, but they're okay with that because they love their lives.
Okay, I have an important question. What's the best way to make a one-handed fighting style work?
Don't worry, compadre. I won't let these varmints meme game yer folk. Not in MY meme thread.
We gonna meme game those desperadoes somethin' fierce. Bring your piece and follow me! We ride to Meme Game Point, gonna meet up with an old injun friend of mine, from the meme game tribe.
>implying I don't care about Ensoulment
Made me think
Scarlet Einhander.
Is that a Scarlet Throne thing?

Why will you not surrender, Kawase? End the Cabal Wars, before it's too late?
Nothing wrong with Lamiae desu
Yep, sorry, got names confused.
We're in a cabal war?
>he thinks I'm the one continuing it
I already apologized for tagging onto the argument, and there was a period I wasn't even in the place. It's not my fault alone, if at all, that there's still two groups.
Perfect, the Scarlet Throne flavor is a great fit for the character I have in mind.
Thank you! Thank you, my savior! Yes, we'll show them! A feel a meme storm acomin'. Feet don't bamboozle me now.
