I don't generally apply to a campaign unless I can build up a lot of passion for it. To the point of making a strong backstory, a fully-formed character, an appearance that can inform or display their personality, a bunch of extraneous detail in case it ever comes up, and a build to make it all work. Oh, and an F-list.

I'm sick of not getting into games when I apply to them. I try and try and try and I just don't know what to improve or what I'm doing wrong. How do I write a good character? A good personality?

>How do I write a good character? A good personality?
Read the tone of the campaign you're applying to, and drench yourself in it. I can't begin to count the number of technically good characters that never went anywhere because they were antithetical to the campaign they were applying for.
If the campaign is about fighting demons in the Worldwound and prominently features the themes of redemption, revenge and righteous fury, write a character whose backstory consists of revenge, redemption and righteous fury that leads them to fighting the Demons.

is DHB the key for a stable campaign?
The two campaigns he has been in were not only stable, one actually went from start to finish. The other is the farthest along out of /pgg/ campaigns (they're in book 3 now).
It seems DHB is the key to efficiency.
Hudson Williams
It doesn't say the archetypes DON'T work, but it doesn't explicitly assume they should work. Remember that there's a lot of idiots who think the USummoner isn't compatible with regular Summoner archetypes, so doing any amount of legwork to do the easy conversions for Monk to UMonk archetypes is an alien concept. Let alone any of the less braindead easy conversions.
Henry Nelson
Do you have any clues regarding this history, or did she simply reveal that she isn't quite human?
Connor Hernandez
I have a question /pfg/. If I'm a caster, any caster but let's say a Cleric, and I have a spell that is on both the Cleric list and the Wiz/Sorc list. Does that spell count as a Sorcerer spell? I want to take Eldritch Heritage and trade out one of the bloodline powers I don't want for Blood Havoc, but I realized while looking at Blood Havoc that it specifies "Whenever you cast a bloodrager or sorcerer spell". If it's not good enough for the spell to just be on the Sorc spell list, would grabbing a spell that's normally only on the Wiz/Sorc list (like with the Arcane bloodline) work?
Eli Barnes
Can you into English, do you have proper reading comprehension, I'm trying to be write this for you in a very simple way, can you understand?
Easton Thompson
We played through some tense situations, but I think in one game we're finally coming together as a team. And in the other, I think I ruined the GM's fun and just brought down the tone of the campaign.
Lincoln Stewart
>With the execetion of monk these should work As in, these should work, but not for umonk. As in, umonk doesn't work with previous archetypes. Is pretty easy, both RAW and RAI umonk doesn't have access to those archetypes, now, if your GM is kind enough to let you work around it, perfect, but that's a homerule.
Robert Morgan
It's not a "Sorcerer" spell because it's not being cast using Sorcerer slots.
Colton Baker
I mean, to be fair, it does say 'they should work with all existing archetypes'.
It's just saying 'These classes archetypes should all work 100%', not that monk is automatically incompatible with all of them begone from this house.
There's a lot that aren't compatible, but if you use the rule from archetyping qingong monk with other things, then there's like zero issue.
Daniel Jenkins
I've been sat here, trying to find something to do by playing random games here and there while subsequently browsing threads across multiple boards.

Adrian Nelson
Why do Shiba so often become fat?
Christian Sanders
Damn, that's Idea #1 down the drain. Follow up question: is there anything else I can trade out the bloodline power I don't want for? I plan to go all the way up to Greater Eldritch Heritage for the Verdant Bloodline, but I don't actually want the 3rd or 9th level power I would get from Improved Eldritch Heritage and was hoping I could trade it for something better.
Mason Watson
Because shibe are very floofy, and any extra weight the gain gets accentuated more due to their floof.
Jason Evans
There's been a few hints before, enough to make the rogue come up with a conspiracy theory about the royal family being Oni. We're actually on friendly terms with the king after helping defend him from an assassination attempt, so we've spent a lot of time around him and his son and we've seen some suspicious shit. So far we've seen:
>the king bludgeon an assassin to death with a vase >the son sing songs in a bunch of languages, including Abyssal and Aklo >a family tree with multiple ancestors completely removed >an ancient scroll that describes the first king's wife as "unspeakable"
During the rescue of the princess (who's apparently a total shut-in because of the shifting, handwaving why we've never met her) she panicked, grew tentacles, and scurried up a wall. When we left off we were in the middle of chasing her down because she went all "don't look at me I'm hideous," so we haven't gotten any concrete answers yet. My theory is either some Lovecraft shit's going on or something from the Abyss fucked someone at some point. Could even be both since Qlippoth are a thing.

Yes, but why would you want to?

Angel Baker
So I can take Mythic Improved Critical (Spells) and get x3 crits with them.
Matthew Perez
What sort of games have you been enjoying?
Gavin Jackson
In the first case, because we actually got some time to talk to each other about character interactions, had some downtime, and came back from it all with a better sense of understanding for each other.
In the latter case, because I'm not entirely sure my character is right for the tone anymore, like I've made someone who's too grim and angry for a game that should be fun and lighthearted.
Brayden Sanders
Technically it's not just (spells).
Gotta pick like, Rays or Touch Attacks or something I think.
Noah Rivera
Any spell you can crit with does negligible damage.
Parker Stewart
Star Wars Jedi Academy, Dynasty Warriors, that sort of thing.
I dunno, I just want a good in-depth RPG to sink my teeth into or something.
Michael Gonzalez
Disintegrate begs to differ.
Isaac Cox
Except disintegrate.
John Torres
They're small dogs with gentle personalities and don't absolutely require high-energy activities such as walks or swimming; this makes them the perfect pet for the elderly, the city-bound, and the lazy-wealthy, and thus the perfect type of dog to get fat. You'll notice that you don't see many fat huskies or golden retrievers; their lifestyle and attitude make them too fussy and active for owners that can't give them what they need, you see.
Carson Moore
At that level everything is going to save and you'll do a whopping 9d6 points of damage with your huge crit on a 19 or 20 - if it doesn't deflect or cancel the spell outright.. Mythic power makes saves exceedingly easy to make.
Jack Barnes
So, how do we chase IDrive out of Skullfucks and Shackles to make sure he doesn't have a chance to ruin this game like he has so many others?
Jayden Bennett
Disintegrate does 2d6 per level. Or 18d6 at level 9 for a 36d6 crit.
Daniel Smith
>Shiba >Lazy
I thought they were supposed to be guard dogs?
Luis Lewis
Yeah, and they were commonly used as hunting dogs, I think.
Don't sound lazy to me.
Oliver Diaz
Or 3d6+1 per level on a save. which is literally nothing even if you triple it on a crit. Considering almost anything you'll be fighting gets multiple chances to prevent that damage, it's a waste of effort.
John Jackson
You sure those are Shiba and not Akita?
Aiden Jenkins
Yeah, Shiba were bred for hunting and are quite independent, aggressive dogs. In fact, I'd call them downright cattish.
Aaron Davis
Disintegrate does 5d6 on a failed save, so with a x3 crit that'd be 15d6 (still not good, but better than a blast spell that deals half of 20d6 on a successful save and can't crit). You're thinking of Slay Living.
That's besides the point though, I think it sounds like a waste of a Mythic feat too. You don't get very many of those.
Landon Baker
Road trip AP with guest appearances of every Celeb PC when?
They were bred for a non-lazy job, but they can easily live their lives not needing to move out and about for hours or days on end; this makes them great for lazy OWNERS, which in-turn lets them be lazy themselves.
Ayden Scott
(From Stjarnagardr, my Saturday Campaign)
The game went pretty well, all-in-all. The party arrived at the city to where they heading, and dropped off the little boy that they had rescued. His cousin, a Half-Orc butcher woman, thanked the Ratfolk Monk and Kobold Warder who dropped him off, wishing them luck in their journey, and giving them a gift; five pounds worth of dried meat of a Bullette.
The party's Skald spent some time drinking at a bar with the group's pet NPC Orc-Bloodline Hobgoblin Sorcerer... followed by a storytelling performance to the bar's patrons.
The player of the albino teenage Rogue failed to show up for the second weekend in a row, this time without any notice. I'm probably going to ask her not to come back next time. She's been absent quite a lot.
Benjamin Evans
Fuck right off with the drama, please, thank you, die in a ditch.

What can you do with Mythic to make your enemies more likely to fail their saves, anyway? All I see is Mythic Spell Focus/Mythic Elemental Focus and the Archmage and Hierophant capstones.

A pity about the recurring absentee. Does the party have their next move planned? Do you have something in mind that you can share?
John Morgan
No, I just don't see the goddamn point in bringing up needless, stupid drama about stupid namefags doing stupid things.
Charles Bell
Is this a meme game? Do you even plan on running this?
Blake Ramirez
>You mean a generic fleet of space undead. That's what the Corporate Zombies are? Because they're an Undead civilization obsessed with making a dollar?

Zachary Foster
Yeah, it seems like it could be fun.
Asher Harris
I've always wondered, FennecAnon... Do you actually own a Fennec Fox?
Carson Rivera
The party plans to investigate the old abandoned military outpost where they think the bandits are holed up. They also have to deliver a missive to the local Lord in order to get their friend's son legitimized.
I have plans for them, and I think they might suspect what I have in mind, but that's okay.

Just make your character the prized hunting dog of a nobleman that gained sapience and a human form through feasting on the heart of a dragon, or something equally fantastical.
Leo Russell
Still breathing.
Owen Bailey
>but hair constantly grows, reaching thirty feet at level twenty, thirty-five enlarged. Actually, it does not. Hair has growth limits based on genetics; mine only reaches a foot long, a friend of mine has only reached half a foot at most, despite not cutting it for years, and the longest recorded hair length has been something to the tune of ten feet.
Admittedly, that's still ten feet, and doesn't account for magical hair growth supplements, but there it is.

Liam Sanchez
If we're gonna talk about magic Christmasland scenarios, then we're going all in.
So we start with a Mythic 10 level 20 Wizard who knows Disintegrate, which deals 40d6 damage. Well, he took Mythic Improved Critical (Ray) to increase the crit mod of Disintegrate to x3 for 120d6 if it crits. But we're not going to bitch out with weak, plebian spell for non-Mythic casters, let's use Mythic Disintegrate which deals 3d6 instead. Now our crit looks like 180d6. That's good, but we can do better. Our wizard has prepared Intensified Mythic Disintegrate, so the damage cap is raised by an additional 5 CL (UMD some Karma Prayer Beads and get an Orange Prism Ioun stone to actually CAST at CL 25). That raises the damage to 75d6 or 225d6 on a crit. That's cool, but you know what I hate doing? Rolling 225 fucking dice. Let's make things simple by making our spell a Maximized Intensified Mythic Disintegrate. Now we're 1350 damage damage on a failed save. That would be a 10th level spell, but our wizard has a handy Intensifying Metamagic Rod, so that Intensify spell doesn't actually increase the level. But we can do MORE. You know how else a Mythic spellcaster can get metamagic without increasing spell level? Why, by spending a Mythic point for the normal version of their Mythic Metamagic Feat. So, our wizard gets to tack on Empower Spell for free, making the damage 1,350+112d6.
I'm pretty sure you just shit out enough damage to kill anything in the bestiary... So long as you can manage to get through their SR, anyway.
Joseph Carter
Because blinklings are ugly, dog-faced weirdoes whose parents had sex with a literal dog (admittedly that has passed the Harkness test, hopefully)
Benjamin Cooper

Nolan Watson
Good question! There is no real reason not to unless you want to play a class which mechanics aren't easily translated into being a maid (like being unarmored).
