The devil fruit or the campaign?
Both, but right now the fruit. You've got theoretically 200 options which are HOPEFULLY worth the cost of being a pirate who can't go into the ocean and we don't know what any of them are
EDIT:although I'm guessing that option 100 on both lists is that you get to roll once on each list; still, that's 198 options

Congrats to Faltain! He is a Ursine Zoan Type: Model Panda
I will give you abilities shortly
Oh my goodness! Now I'm over the moon excited! I can transform into a panda-like humanoid (if my memory of the Zoan types from the show is correct and if that's what it'll translate to in the campaign), then use my elemental fist to flaming panda punch dudes into next Tuesday! This just got real.
Thanks, Mr. Nomington!

Zoan Type Devil Fruit Advancement
1st level. You are able to assume the form of your creature as a standard action and remain in that form indefinitely and revert back as a a standard action; you receive the size, natural attacks, and a +2 to your Str and +2 natural armor bonus if this size makes you medium or larger or a +2 Dex and a +1 natural armor bonus if it would make you small or smaller. In either case you receive any type of movement that creature has which replaces your usual movement values. If you have bonuses to your base speed, you may apply the bonuses to all new forms of movement. In any case you always gain low-light vision and scent while In this form and may still speak. Anything you may be wearing will form itself to this new form, but the form may limit how you retrieve such items. You do not gain any other special abilities the creature possesses. Keep in mind that the common person doesn't know about devil fruits and changing in front of them could incite panic or may view it as an evil omen.

Gotta say I didn't expect that on the list. Maybe I could play as my spirit animal and be the beleaguered pack-animal of the group. Might be fun being the grumpy one.

1 person marked this as a favorite. |
please tell us that along with the rest of the regular stuff he gets with the transformation he gets some kind of spitting range attack or can cough out the lining of his throat for temporary stunning or sickening effect!

Question was thinking of making an Engineer type character. Would it be ok to take the Earth breaker martial weapon but Role-play it as a giant wrench that he carries around or should I use a different weapon or take some sort of Improvised weapon feat?
Mr. Nomington |
Take this trait
Rough and Ready
Your intense familiarity with the tools of your trade allows you to use them in combat as if they were actual weapons and makes them more effective for that purpose than they would normally be.
Benefit: When you use a tool of your trade (requiring at least 1 rank in the appropriate Craft or Profession skill) as a weapon, you do not take the improvised weapon penalty and instead receive a +1 trait bonus on your attack. This trait is commonly used with shovels, picks, blacksmith hammers, and other sturdy tools — lutes and brooms make terribly fragile weapons.
The Wrench (which I'm assuming is adjustable) would be a two handed weapon that deals 1d8 damage x2 Crit. I'm gonna say it weighs 16 pounds. You could work twards the improvised weapon mastery feat, which will make it deal 2d6 with a 19-20 Crit. You would have to make it masterwork with the spell or build a new one in order to enchant it.

That will work Great :)
For my craft skill would Wood crafting work for ship building or would another sub type work better for this setting?Green Smashomancer |
Any class limitations? Don't know how I'd get a full caster to feel like a One Piece character. Do we have two melee beat-sticks yet? Wanna show Chopper how it's done.
Mr. Nomington |
The Occult classes and Paladin are the only restrictions, the latter because you can't be lawful good. Havent made final decision yet on who is joining. But as of right now there is.

Think I'm forming an idea. Thinking Inquisitor, either half-elf, or half-orc, be the team angry old man. One part navigator, one part fighter. On break, can't sentences.

I am excited, but what to build???
A human swordmaster like Hawkeye Mihawk would be neat. Or rather a younger, less experienced swordfighter :) it would be neat to be the one pure human in a sea of monsters who survived and excells by his skill alone :)
Or a fishman! It would be really cool to be a swordfishman dual wielding swords (would probably go ranger to dual wield with str rather then dex at lvl 2 and oceans as the favoured Terran). Otherwise being some kind of large shark and being one of the bigger sharkman with a very savage bite. Speaking of, shouldn't the Fishmen have a bite attack? It seems to be a rather integral part of them.
Either way I could probably go feral reager barbarian and get a bite attack that way. I would also reflavour the rage as "Bloodrage" and only activate it if there has been someone wounded or bleeding within scent range (60') :)
Hmmm. Another idea is a human caster/know-it-all (maybe wizard) who has a book detailing some/most/all of the devils fruit and its his lifelong mission to document them all. Kinda like Blackbeard Teach who somehow knew the different fruits and that he needed a specific one.
Actually what might work well for this would be a Mindchemist alchemist. Bombs on a ship :)
Just thought of this, what about guns? They are very prevalent in One Piece but otherwise rather weak. Maybe have it so that guns are everywhere but only deal half damage unless you have proficiency with them via the feat or class ability? Just a thought :)
Another neat idea would be if you allowed me to go as an Aberrant Aegis and then be a devil fruit user. The class allows you to do some interesting and varied mutations and that could be a really fun way to be cursed :) I am just going to assume no unless I hear otherwise ^-^
Well I am not sure what I will go as, those are the mechanically interesting ideas but I will have to see what strikes me personality wise. I have learnt that that is far more important.
Also, also. Zoro definitely would have the diehard feat and the Orc fighter FCB (+2hp to your death threshold). He often fights way after he should have passed out and way after he should have died :)
About killing people. Does this mean that foes will surrender/give up before they reach zero hp, or are you going to keep track of negative hp and stabilization checks for NPCs?
Pathfinder just kinda assumes that people fight until they are almost dead then they just implode. It's actually hard NOT to kill people. Could we have an option to "hold back" while we fight, maybe have -2 to hit but the strike won't bring them below 1hp?
Green Smashomancer |
That actually exists already. You can deal nonlethal damage with a -4 to hit. Or, grab a weapon/class feature that does nonlethal without that restriction. Since you said Swordmaster, I recommend Blade of Mercy Trait. I'm looking at that one myself. I might use a longbow on my character to provide ranged combat (who still needs a name), but with Bludgeoning arrows. Also gives nonlethal damage without the normal penalty.
Speaking of, wouldn't I technically be able to use a ships cannon, and add Bane or Judgement effects to it? I'm kinda busy IRL, but I'm making some progress.
Mr. Nomington |
The reason why the fishman race dont have a bite is because as its seen in one piece. only evil fishman actually use their bites and since im not allowing evil characters, no biting!
guns stay as is there are enough limitations with them already so i wont nerf further.
yeah... no psionics
Zoro wouldve taken unbreakable fighter and Racial Heratige orc so he could get that FCB.
As for killing stuff im basically gonna implement a rule kinda like in 5th addition wear if you would reduce an opponent to zero or fewer hit points, you can just choose to knock them out instead of killing them.
judgments would work, but banes dont, you have to wield the weapon in hand to apply bane and you cant wield a cannon in your hands

Kasumi Yukishiro |
The Comedian/Pervert is one vote. If there are others that vote for either of those, I have no preference between the two. If it's a tie between them, then pervert, because pervert. Only just realized I misread again. K gonna vote something privately now. :P

You say that only the evil Fishmen use their jaws to fight, but would it be OK if I played a NG fishman with a bite attack?
What I would like to create would be a Feral Rager barbarian, and I would take the Catch off Guard feat. on ya, gotta ask if that archetype is OK.
He would be based off of a Great White Shark or a hammerhead shark so he would be on the larger side of the Fishmen.
He would have a str of 18 (14 base, 4 racial) and a Cha of 14 (16 base, -2 racial). Although he is a very strong fishman he is also a kind and caring soul. He values his allies deeply and always tries to be the heart of the group yet he struggles with the Bloodfrenzy.
Whenever someone around him gets injured and he smells blood his animal instincts kick in and he is in constant danger of going into a Bloodfrenzy.
Mechanically Bloodfrenzy is just a rage that I will only activate after someone around him has been injured.
He would be quick to try and talk things out before the situation devolves into bloodshed (he doesn't want to smell blood) but if things do get escalated he will then fight with whatever is at hand or rely on his sharp teeth to protect those around him.
I figure that if I have Catch off Guard and Quick Learner then I should be able to reasonably fight with anything :) but then I can't take a trait to make Diplomacy a class skill D: guess he will be friendly but not necessarily eloquent :)
On the ship he wouldn't be very high up in the chain of command, rather he would probably just be a rank and file sailor. I am sure most of everyone else would just assume that he is a slave but he is very much a free man.
As for his second trait, devils fruit would be really fun, but just doesn't fit this character. Wealthy upbringing? No. Senros would probably fit the best but I would never get that legendary luck :)
Old second nature would probably be best if I can swallow the penalties and am willing to be middle aged.
He's a fun loving go lucky sailor grunt that can fight with just about anything :)
If that doesn't fly then I will probably think about creating a Mindchemist with a forgotten past who seeks to witness and document all the world's forbidden fruits, and while he's at it, journal everything else he sees on the great blue ocean.
