If there's a fish around, he just uses mimicry to get waterbreathing and a swim speed, then relies on natural attacks. So not very screwed

>What do they find frustrating? Preparation casting? Limited spell slots? Too many options?
>Focus on actually explaining what the problem is before trying to fix it.

Yeah sorry. They find the limited spell slots too frustrating.
The other two things you cited are why we are currently switching to pathfinder.

In our homebrew, every single spells must've been ruled by the GM. Even after I proposed to used spells from pathfinder.
The preparation part is actually enjoyed, because it add a real sense to camp and have the PC sleep and pause in a long run.
For this last point, I may use the RAW rule of sleep for having the slots back.

>Precisely how screwed/awesome is your character when dunked in the water for an aquatic quest/encounter?

He would just swim angrily, and grill every fish he sees to fuel his water dunking enduced rage.

What's your favorite level 5 or lower maneuver?

pretty awesome, being a merfolk water oracle

Dragons 2 greentexts?

I have to ask, why do you care? Like not in a judgemental way, but in an 'I don't understand the reason you want to see this, and I am genuinely curious' way.

I don't get people's desire to follow these games, or to continue to perpetuate this weird circle that seems to go on with games. I don't understand the concept of a celebrity player, and it just...it all confuses me.

because the GM of that game posted a musical number song from the session and I wanna see how it went!

Later! But first, we must review Essentia.
Give me a moment so I can get a list out though.

The Arcanist might help; you get spell prep, but can cast any spell you've prepped until you run out of the level slots you need for it. That's a roundabout spell point system.

There's also something like D&D 5e, where you get a very small number of spells ready through all levels, but can cast them out of a slot of their spell level or higher. That would require granting Heighten Spell as a free feat to all casters.

Finally, there's using Psionics; small list of powers known and MP (they call it PP), but that's yet another system to learn. It also doesn't allow for spell switching without a certain ability which allows a character to swap everything. However, it wouldn't be too difficul to allow players to swap a small number of the powers they know daily; one of the Psion archetypes allows essentially this.

How can you creatively impact or influence a scene if your character is in a state of enforced unconsciousness? I feel like going on and on about their dreams gets a little lonely after a while, especially if there's stuff you actually wanted to say to others.

Thanks for the tips user. I'll check these out with more sleep and see if I can use it properly.
Right now, I've got the homebrewed system, Sphere of Powers, Arcanist, D&D5e and Psionics.

It'll be a long work, but hey, it'll be rewarding if I manage to use it correctly. I will post it after I completed the first playtest and talk about it if any of you want.

Resume from last thread :
I needed to know how to improve my homebrewed spell system to replace the limited spell slots.
>As a spell caster, you gain each level your health dice+the caracteristic used for slinging spell
>The cost of spells are dictacted by their level, and so are their DC : a level 0 spell cost 0 but has a DC of 10, a level 9 got a cost of 9 and a dc of 19 if not stated otherwise
>If you want to sling spells without preparing, you have +2+level of the spell/2 on your DC check (rounded to the superior) for slinging your spell
>If you want to prepare spells, use the normal rule.
>A wizard can learn by heart a spell, and gain one each 3 level. He does not need to prepare it nor to have in his grimoire.
>He can't use spells higher than his level. Using metamagic make him use two times the mana cost of the spell.
>Can only use/prepare spells written in his grimoire.
>Learning a new spell can be by a fellow magic user, with two days per level of the spell learned, or by a DC of 18+level of the spell*2
>You can learn from a scroll, but it is a DC of 18+level of the spell or a day per level of the spell learned.

Have a good night anons, and may the dice gods be pleased with you.

>2 Delilah, TN Female Essentia Homunculus, Alchemist
Our first taste of Essentia's custom race, the Essentia Homunculus - more or less androids with some differences - Delilah is a very small-sized package of emotionless sass and impending robot jokes. The letter to the mayor is...interestingly formulated. All in all, she's an unemotional loli doll alchemist with a bit of a complex towards her "Mother", her as of yet unnamed creator. There seems to be a bit of work to be done on this app yet, but I like what's in there. She's one of the several "research-focused" apps, though the specification of her disliking the research-hoarding practice of other Arabrine followers (like her mother) provides an interesting hook.

GOOD POINTS: Sassy robot, loli doll with a mom complex, an accurate depiction of what low charisma looks like
BAD POINTS: App needs some more meat on its bones in places, despite mom complex doesn't define who her mom is, etc

>in that wholesome fun and self-expression are seen as sinful and wrong
You now realize that while westerners are trying to ban pornography and "incorrect" or "offensive" stuff from shows like some sort of Big Brother, in Japan literally the girls are the ones asking "so what's wrong with 'objectifying' women anyway, if they don't like it they don't need to objectify themselves?" and most of the people in government and on the street think that something that's 'offensive' doesn't mean it can't be displayed.

Rolled 12 (1d16)

There's a disclaimer about second language here, and it shows occasionally, but it's not something I'm going to hold against this app. Leopold is an Inquisitor of the Shattered Faith,
straight from the fanatics in the Holy Kingdom Sepra. He's got a not entirely amusing past and an entirely unamused attitude. Reportedly his great-grandfather was killed by some fellow from Mestys, and he's pretty big on the DO NOT FORGET thing - he did the same to his own brother after bully memes in his childhood, once he took on his Inquisitor's mantle. Leopold is religious, and very much so. Like, absurdly much so if compared to most other apps, but not actually absurdly so in the context of the game which has plenty of valid reasons for fanaticism around. And judging (heh) by the tone and content of the app (and the picture as well) he's ready to bring the fist of the Ordo Hereticus onto some bitches. He plays his
trope and plays it straight, and does an acceptable job at it though he could certainly strive to be a bit more original. Yes, he's DEVOTED to his faith and all, but I'm certain you wouldn't be burned at the stake for getting a hobby or something, right?

GOOD POINTS: ORDO HERETICUS, WE'RE GONNA KILL THAT GUARDSMAN OVER THERE IN A BIT, HEH, HEH
BAD POINTS: Doesn't really do anything beyond his trope, which is not very interesting.

This actually looks chill as hell user. The Nightblade 3pp class is pretty good too but this seems nice and lean.

You know Archi is offering private and detailed reviews right

An subterrarian alien race who had special horn like feelers that earlier explorers mistook for rabbit ears at a distance. Up close, you notice they don't have eyes and the feeler horns connect to where their eyes would be.

Their feeler horns allow them to sense magic energies through their other sense so they can taste and hear magic. This is because their usual prey is capable of becoming invisible on top of living in such a dark place and this is how they would hunt them.

However, in the presence of too much magic they begin to feel sick if they unfurl their feeler horns.

I wish I was good at drawing but in my head, they look like a mix between pic related and gore magala from Monster hunter

Nobody cares

Would work on it, but I am exceptionally tired. Can pull over some of the stuff from past thread.

When will I be able to play a busty barmaid /pgg/?

I want to use my scylla homebrew in a game some day

When Starfinder comes out

I recommend playing a Shirren

2nd opinion is always good.

Intrigue's taking apps.

It looks good and it also allows lewd.

I guess for purposes of improving other unrelated apps, maybe.

What is this home brew?

>12 Iridia IV von Ostalfen, LN Female Human, UC Cavalier
NO, NOT THE FACE Apparently the mustard gas didn't just fuck up half of her face but all of it, because this app has no picture!
This app is a bit messy. The backstory is solid enough and works for what it does - Iridia is the daughter of a rich merchant house who were once nobles in their own right, until angry rival houses kicked them off that porch. She doesn't want to be a greedy merchant, though - she wants to be the knight in shining armor because apparently that's what her ancestors did in their spare time when they weren't getting kicked out of nobility. Nobody else around her seems to care about this, though, so she's left autistically screeching by herself that she wants her title back. She also suffers from a severe case of KY, which doesn't help either.
There are a few problems with this app, besides not having a face. The greatest gripe I have is the fact that it feels entirely disconnected to the setting. There's no mention of her origins or where her family had their holdings and when, no mention of anything at all part of the setting until the letter comes and showers us with it. And even then there's a fair disconnect between the parts of the app; the letter doesn't always feel like it's describing the same person as detailed in the earlier sections. Bonus points for the giant turtle though.

GOOD POINTS: Pretty cool tank cavalier concept, the acid-to-face-thing is pretty fresh, plenty of potential
BAD POINTS: Messily put together app that doesn't mesh with itself, near zero setting integration outside of letter and feels like it's been transplanted from somewhere else, I HAVE NO FACE, etc.

NEXTO

What would be some good music to play when the players ascend to mythic?

Will it be possible for me to be sandwiched between adventurers?

What's KY

Seems pretty interesting. Have you compared them to the options in the Sea Races book that came out?

What is their history?
How do they deal with the Humans and others?
What happens when they show up in the Starfinder universe?

It's actually just a 'fix' of the Sea Races one, since I didn't like how they were like an 11 RP race outside of the water and also didn't like them having -2 Int despite being octopus-people.

Depends on how cute your busty barmaid is, and if you ask nicely, then maybe.

>What's KY

On this board it's generally translated at "autistic."

I'm going to try and get my neutral aligned party to commit evil acts this Sunday. A priceless artifact I had to retrieve for my vampire master was stolen from me and we are heading back to my home country. But I'm not level 1 anymore and I plan on tearing shit up when I get there. Slaughter the innocent, burn down homes, that kinda stuff

Then why not say that you fucking weeb, no one understood your shitass review with that KY crap. I thought you had dropped a letter and meant KYS and that the app was salty and toxic as fuck going around telling NPCs to off themselves.

Well, I didn't write the reviews, as you probably noticed since I'm not the trip you are upset at.

Just answering user's question, no need to shoot the messenger.

What kind of hyper-weeb acronym is this jfc not even /a/ uses this one

Anyone here think a Eldritch archer (magus)/ Sniper (rogue)/ Arcane Archer class mix would be good?

>10 Red Elder-End Mythcéal, TN Female Flower Nymph, Witch/Vigilante
Not quite 13 PAGES but definitely the longest app in here by a country mile and a half.
First off, it's a Flower Nymph, meaning there's a fair bit of "hooting your own horn" involved in this app seeing as it's the player's own homebrew. That said, it seems to have been
worked into the setting without being too obnoxious about it. There is a LOT of wordy words on the backstory of what feels like the entire species, which may or may not be justified?
Either way, once we get to actually figuring out who this creature with like 12 names is, we do so quite thoroughly. She spent 20 years living in a nuked forest, was cockblocked from learning the final magical secrets of her master, and then was 2spooky4the rest of her people to deal with, so she promptly GTFO'd and went "wandering leaf", whatever that's supposed to mean - this app invents a lot of words, like season-cycles instead of years, in an attempt to look cool or seem thematic. Either way, Elder-End cheats her way into human society
and changes identities like a CIA agent, before settling in Mestys as the witch equivalent of a potted plant.
Beyond the size of the app and the blatant liberties with the setting the author takes to force his homebrew race into it, the app is... alright? And seeing as the homebrew race in question is actually on the allowed 3pp list, I suppose it might not be as blatant as it first appears. There's quite a bit of flavor to Elder-End, and whether or not this turns out to be cancer or not is all dependent on whether or not the author can actually play this shit.

GOOD POINTS: Well defined character overall, unironically running Seducer Witch and Vigilante for the lewdist combo, sassy shortstack plant
BAD POINTS: Forced meme race, 13 PAGES, feels slightly out of tune with the rest of the setting at times

It was a pretty big fad from 2005-2013 or so in Japanese internet lingo. It has started to fade in usage, similar to how "lol" and other acronyms can date people by their usage.

You probably haven't seen it around since it was always more of a 2chan/niconico thing, or perhaps you weren't browsing the internet at that time. It picked up a lot of use in internet anime communities after the economic crisis in 2009 thanks to the rise in post-college neets in the west.

Motherfucker has (You) in their name. They're doing it for attention.

Hide, report, ignore. Do not feed the beast.

VIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW

Well now at least we can ignore your TOTALLY NOT BIASED OPINION THAT DOESN'T ACTUALLY MATTER YOU GUYS REALLY.

Fucking reviewers are asscancer.

if anyone actually cares about reviews they would just ask Archi who's giving out detailed and actually private reviews that actually matter unlike this guy

See

>"ignore the guy shilling his reviews!"
>shill someone else's reviews

The difference is Archibelle is the GM.

It also can be used as "read the mood!" by dropping person and changing the word read to the imperative instead of the negative form.

>shill the DM's fucking reviews
It's literally the fucking DM, you're not asking for a 'review' you're asking directly "okay, what do I need to change, how's my odds look"

>someone else's
you mean the GM, aka the only person who's opinion actually matters. doesn't matter what this self-shill thinks

Hey, look at it this way, I could've started EE's review with "This guy totally knows what he's doing and you should app to Intrigue right now".

I mean if you want me to fuck off and go work on my own game instead of shill someone else's, okay then? But you guys confuse me sometimes.

No, you're asking the resturant chef to review your work as a kitchen hand during the trial period.

Please continue reviews. Some people care.

I just like hearing opinions about my competition

Same.

I will get to JOSEPH BELLAMY after breakfast.

Holy shit you need to commit sudoku you fucking waste of air weeb.

Why does it matter if someone reviews apps or not?

If his opinion doesn't matter then ignore him.

If you disagree with him then ignore him.

If you agree with him then cool.

Why is it worth getting angry over?

Because it shits up the thread.

It's unnecessary for the game in question, lowers the quality of already bad threads, and is done so someone can suck the reviewer's dick over their dimestore Poison Ivy app.

Because the reviewer unironically suck his own dick and give himself a good overall orgasm. If you were unbiased, you would have skipped yourself.
Although the fact that he is reviewing for a game he app makes his opinion worth jackshit.

Is running vainilla pathfinder balanced?

Not really.

Meet the full-casters. Although introducing 3pp is gonna disrupt the balance even worse.

Does this mean the more negative his review, the better your app?

Probably. One thing I do agree with the master-baiter is that Iridia is a shit-tier app.

I kind of agree

Well the Master Baiter went away so

Hmmm... So I'm going to apply to intrigue as a tavern wench of some sort, that much I know. Other character ideas I'm not sure of. I was thinking an Avowed of some kind who received her letter through the machinations of her patron but I'm not sure what sort of a patron would work for her.

>a tavern wench of some sort

I'm gonna sandwich you hard if we both get in.

A Bard would be a good choice, obviously.
