Paizo Games General /pgg/

Simple. To play a character that impregnates the curvaceous, huge-tit-possessing sluts.

>that pic
Where are the piercings?

welcome to low level combat? Introduce SoP archtypes, SoM (euhg) archtypes if you want /slightly/ more exciting combat for martials or go full ham and do a PoW + psionics only campaign

Give the players enemies that they normally wouldn't be able to handle but with the caveat that they can handle them much better if they do X, Y, or Z to weaken them first.

Are there any good SoP archetypes for martials? The SoM archetypes seem....functional, I guess. How is beastsoul monk?

SoP archtypes are much better than SoM ones because Casting > martial talents

What is futa?

Beastsoul Monk is one of the worse SoP martial archetypes, but it's kind of the exception in that way, almost all of the others are much better.

>Beastsoul Monk is one of the worse SoP martial archetypes
Which sucks because god damn is it a cool idea, they just failed with the Ki portion of it.

Dammit. What else is there worth considering?

So for the Demoniac prestige class it says I need to have 7 skill ranks in Intimidate, Knowledge Planes, and Spellcraft. Does this mean I need to be level 7 and use skill ranks from leveling, or just 7 total in those skills?

You need to be level 7, and you take the first level of Demoniac as your 8th level

Got it, disappointing but I expected that. Thank you. At least now I don't need to go full retard with my ability scores all over the place.

Nope, it allows you to satisfy the urges of your party members.

You're easier to remember. Sometimes, a PC needs to be forgotten to do a job. Pic unrelated.

Whether a paladin of Shelyn should fall for being addicted to LSD.

Drug addictions count as diseases in pf. Paladins are immune.

My players are going into a dungeon that is overrun by a strange creature. At the basement of the dungeon, the creature's heart lays, which needs to be killed by the party. The rest of the structure is filled with the vines that are attached to this heart. Effectively, the creature *is* the dungeon. The PCs have been told that fire causes it severe pain and will make the vines retreat.

Should I have the heart be able to fight back when they get to it, or would having the vines periodically attack them as they explore the ruined floors of this observatory be enough?

I managed to survive the temporary DM's adventure yesterday.

>Part 2/2 of player running a game while I take a break

Do you guys have any resources that you suggest to get better at making interesting characters and roleplaying? It feels like no matter what I make they keep defaulting to my personality and just go with the flow, and I want to fix that

If you keep defaulting to your own personality, try making your characters more one-note but different from yourself. You know, kind of like practice characterization.

Or just go with the "It's what my character would do" mantra, but don't be a dickbag about it.

Next part:

>Enter castle with less than full strength and return to skeleton room
>Peek through door and see a bunch of dead cultists in a ring around a humanoid
>Dwarf goes invisible while I cast buffs
>Enter room, and offer to buy the tapestry
>She says I have to entertain her first, but I get the tapestry if I can leave the room with it
>Room goes dark, torchlight is reduced to personal space
>Get trapped by stone walls in 15x15 square with five cultists with poisoned daggers
>Take more strength damage before killing them all
>Spider climb up 40 ft stone wall to water filled room
>Tie rope to corpses so that Dwarf can lower himself down the wall on the other side
>A Dire Shark appears
>Throw a dagger on the surprise round to use Piercing Shot. It's super effective!
>Disbelieve the water and reach tapestry
>Lights come on as the boss claps
>We introduce ourselves, but Dwarf stays silent
>Boss keeps draining strength, but we eventually kill her
>Castle falls apart as we leave
>+20,000 gp to each character for tapestry
>Find out from DM that the boss, Morgan of Shar, was a Shadowcaster from 3.5

I'm going to have the experience and treasure carry over to my game. The Dwarf wants a set of Adamantine full-plate armor.

The heart doesn't have to fight back. Have some sort of plant based guardian to protect it.

Dungeons without boss fights are underwhelming.

Hmm. The people who lived nearby told the party that the vines also turned corpses into zombies, so maybe I could have some big plant guardian at the end that has control over the zombies trying to defend the heart?

Ok, so this is basically the Thorian from Mass Effect.

What level is the party, and are you using 3pp?

Oh jesus christ, it is. I haven't played the games in so long.

Level 7, and yes. A lot of it, actually. Three characters are using Path of War, one is an Avowed, and the last uses Spheres.

Why are you posting a picture of wolf?

that's a pumpkin you tard

Haha, uh, no. It's very clearly a wolf, weirdo.

It's a Pumpkin.

I haven't played Mass Effect. If you use a Thorian battle, will the players get the reference?

I'm looking through the Bestiary now. How about a Moonflower or a Fungal Nymph for a boss fight?

So if I wanted to make a first party musket wielder with early/easy access to the ability to disable magical traps, what should I go with? Most the options seem bad or underwhelming.

Plz, user, I need to know. :(

Read, nigga, read.

I did but it's unclear, the text of Fabricate arms says you are proficient but not specialized with the weapon but Versatile Specialization says you are specialized with any weapon you are proficient with.

If the hack said 'you are granted proficiency but not specialization with any weapon' or "you are proficient with (but never specialized) with any weapon" it'd be clear, but as is it feels unclear. The fact that it's in parentheses seems to indicate it's a minor point, and thus probably just emphasizing you're simple not automatically specialized, but it's hard to definitively say it definitely doesn't mean you're not intended to ever be specialized with the weapons.

>you are granted proficiency but not specialization with any weapon
This

Letting that small detail stop you

>Evolved Companion allows me to get Pounce on my Paladin mount
>Apparently the Errata took that away
Why is the ACG errata so "Paizo" where they nerf everything fun and interesting into the ground

I hope SotJR had fun tonight!

Because you are not playing a wizard.

Anyone?

What's your favourite tribunal app, user, and why? Naming yourself isn't allowed.

>caring about a bamboozle

>Adamantine full-plate
isn't that technically not even possible to make, what with the amount of adamantine needed and the time it actually takes to craft?

>and the time it actually takes to craft?
>what is fabricate?

can't fabricate adamantine bub

[Citation needed]
The spell has no restriction on material as far as I can see.

You have to have the raw materials on hand for Fabricate.
>You convert material of one sort into a product that is of the same material.
But adamantine fullplate is kind of worthless 15000 gold for dr 3/- is just not worth it.

>You have to have the raw materials on hand for Fabricate.
So? If you have adamantine on hand, it lets you get a full plate without waiting for the several years craft time is what I'm saying.

Fifty pounds of adamantine ain't easy to come across ya know

So let's see dc 18 to craft
Let's assume level level 5, and int 16
That puts the skill at 11, assuming a take 10 that is 21, that gives you 378 silver worth of crafting per week, 1/3 the cost of the armor is 55000 silver this means 146 weeks to build it.
There is about 52 weeks in a year, this means you can craft it in a little under three years of work.

At the level when you're casting Fabricate it's not THAT hard to come by.

Oh wait I forgot full plate in pf is ac 9 not 8, so that makes it 399 per week, and about 137 weeks total, which lowers it to about two and a third years.

Your dignity?

Buy it from the elemental plane of earth.

My favorite one hasn't apped yet.

Suzuka pls.

We need to start shipping the apps.

Because bullshit is this not a lewd game

Fuck off mash

Seems like I guessed right.

But whom would you ship with whom?

The adventure takes place in the Forgotten Realms, and the PCs are based in a country really close to the Great Rift. They have so much adamantine there that the Gold Dwarves sell it at a 10% discount (see Races of Faerun).

The campaign just made it to 1369 DR. By the time the dwarves are finished, the Shades will have returned to Faerun. That's if they don't use magic. I managed to find a copy of Dwarves Deep, so I'm going to read what they would do to forge it.

Looking back on it, it's kind of embarrassing that a Forgemaster of Dumathoin put ranks in Cooking instead of Craft (armor), and has to have other people forge his armor. His Master Smith ability would have shortened the time.

Hell if I know, I haven't read the apps yet

d20pfsrd.com/traits/campaign-traits/mummy-s-mask/trap-finder/

Plus gunslinger, musket master archetype

Campaign traits are linked to the campaign in question, so that won't really work.

Depends on the trait. The fact that the PFSRD has been able to refluff it into something not campaign specific is proof enough most art. Very, very few campaign traits actually link you to campaign in a reallly meaningful way and most just exist to eat up a trait slot with useless fucking bullshit.

How do I into aurora soul? Is Elemental flux even worth it?

Wisdom in the flesh paired with fool's errand for maximum anime bullshit

Already have that and broken blade, anything else worth taking? Gonna take Fool's errand style at level 3 for more CC. I'm considering keeping battle dragon stance and getting the TWF tree but I'm not sure if its worth it for a 3/4 BAB class.

>looking at warcraft general
>sees this
Guys?

Bait is bait so who cares?

First off I'd like to say fuck you because of your shitposting, then I'd like to agree with you because Warcraft is far more coherent and rational compared to Golarion.
Note that I didn't say WORLD of Warcraft

I don't think anyone in /pfg/ denies that Pathfinder is a shit game. I couldn't say whether Golarion is equally bad because I hate kitchensink settings by default.

Are there any swarm creatures in the bestiaries that could get away with pretending to be a single humanoid?

Worm that Walks?

Hellwasp Swarm

really ?

That's perfect, thanks user.

The paladin in question had an archetype that gave up disease immunity.

>someone in your 1pp-only campaign laments that they can't do a lazylord-alike in pathfinder
>link them the Rajah playtest, almost entirely as a joke
>they like it
Well shit, I doubt we're going to just allow PoW, which means I might have just ended up getting someone hyped for something they can't have. What's the next best thing I can recommend? SoM commander?

SoM Commander. Probably with the Dreadlord archetype if they want any magic.

I suppose it'd be too much to ask for DDS to make a Commander Archetype that's a SoM/SoP version of Rajah.

What about Sensei Monk? Bardic Performance, grant Ki abilities to allies, Wis to attack, and if you stack it with Qinggong everyone gets those abilities too.

It also stacks with Monk of the Healing Hand for at-range healing

A major point of the rajah is that it's an akashic initiator. What would be the point of an SoP/SoM version?

presumably to be capable of doing at least vaguely similar things, with a similar flavor, using those subsystems?

I thought I saw a spell that let you create a barrier / shield to increase your friend AC as immediate action (kinda like Mental Barrier but the range is close or something)

Am I dreaming thing up or is that exist?

There are some options in SoP. There is a soul weaver archetype which is basically 'summon things and lazy lord' and you can always go Iron Mage/Martial Hedgewitch

So, if you get to 20, can you just erase any ally from existence without a will save? Granted it costs all your ki (ki-1 with ring of ki mastery?) but seems like it could be useful on a summoned creature or familiar.
