uh
bob sapp was in that movie
but none of those pictures are him, they are nonso anozie

sapp was a bad guy named ufaka
anozie was a good guy named artus

but uh off the top of my head, try the Marcus miniature from Wyrd's Malifaux game. A bit of conversion work and he might do.

another reason to run scenarios/modules rather than an AP, if you're going to be frequently switching out GMs

Taldor

that is my advice

do not do an adventure path at first

or at the least, preface your AP choice with a scenario or module that can help you get rolling without having to dive into something so large

read that scenario front and back, get a feel for it, plan it out
run it

then, use that experience to decide what you can handle next and what you need to work on

this went from kumbaya to comeatmebro

Taldor

uh apparently two people in the OP's group really do

Sensei Monk

Taldor

What is there to address

If they can work well as a group and are good players then things will be just fine

of course, I have no idea who the rogue thinks they are going to be flanking off of when in combat, hopefully they are maximizing alternative ways of generating sneak attacks

but, if you are feeling that it is necessary to break their notion that melee-oriented characters have to be big, armored and dumb, show them archetypes like the Lore Warden or Tactician Fighter, the Urban Barbarian, Order of the Tome Cavalier, etc.

Taldor

Start small, choose a PFS scenario or smaller module that can be played and completed over 1 to 3 sessions.

Start at low levels. Learn the pace and flow before introducing higher level Player-characters and encounters.

Read the Gamemastering chapter in the Core Rulebook.

Taldor

Taldor

well at least this is not about fighters, rogues or monks

Taldor

hey paizo people

I hope you enjoy the movie, that is pretty rad

also I made Ross Byers a hair doll that sort of looks like Chris Pine, if Chris Pine were made out of hair

it was going to be for James Jacobs but he started bringing up a Swashbuckler class so we are no longer on speaking terms

also do not worry, I will try to refrain from posting anything terrible until after 3:30

Taldor

so when you talked to him to express your frustration, how did it go

Taldor

most of your things are not really things that are actually happening

but the best part about all your things that you are talking about is that they do not actually have to be things in other people's games unless they choose for them to be things in their games

sometimes I wonder if these threads keep happening because new people come and find out things and want to say them

but then it is just the same thread people saying the same things

this is okay because it is making fun of people you think are bad instead of people that you think are not bad

My wife and I host our home games. We provide awesome food and drinks. We like to host. Our game group contribute to the festivities, but we do not require them to do so. I GM, my wife plays. In our other home game, we both play and a good friend of ours is the GM. We like it.

We wouldn't have it any other way.

Taldor

it is magic

Taldor

Bonded Witch (Half-Elf)
Synthesist Summoner
Musketeer Cavalier
Domain-based Druids
Companion-bond Ranger
Bonded Object Wizard
Divine-Weapon-Bond Paladin

etc. etc. etc.

virtually every class has a way around this issue
that being said, it'll have a negative effect on some classes while others that have no such option to lose will invariably be a bit stronger by comparison

personally I am not a fan of such a rule but hey to each their own

Taldor

if I start a band, it will be called Underwater Rocker Bombs

wait what

Taldor

- a crit fisher twf-kukri user with butterfly sting along with a x4 two-handed weapon martial, both with outflank as a teamwork feat

- two martials with reach weapons, utilizing paired opportunists and pack attack

- a viking fighter and barbarian both with amplified rage

- paired rogues with feint partner, improved feint partner and paired opportunists

- mixing broken wing gambit and paired opportunists

but apart from teamwork feats, think about class and archetype synergies:

A Void Wizard and a Witch

A Quadruped Synthesist Summoner with the ride evolution and a Mounted Fury Barbarian

A Savage Skald Bard and a Barbarian

An Archer Fighter and Urban Barbarian Archer

A Metal Oracle and a Wood Oracle

A Summoner with a buffing bard

I've seen "Siege Archer" builds that get around the lack of clarity by keeping a mount, animal companion or pack animal near them that is carrying a quiver of Large-sized arrows.

They get Gravity Bow and Enlarge Person going, then launch Large-sized arrows that they pull from the quiver located on their animal adjacent to them.

To be fair, Fighters are really strong up to 4th~6th level... Then they start to lag behind more and and more.

Rogues and Monk are never very good, but at very low levels they ain't too bad either.

Lemmy that is the dang point I have been trying to impress upon threads like this for quite awhile

all I am imploring you guys to do when talking in-depth about the classes is to at the very least quantify your statements in a rough level range

many of the problems that you guys bring to the forefront are simply going to be either marginal or non-existant below level 6 or so

there is a strong grouping of the player base that will certainly play more often at or below those levels, than they will above them

that is it, writer
you roll up a fighter
I will roll up a rogue

we will duel at dawn

actually we will not because once we roll them up they will be laughed at and theorycrafted into the ground in this thread until we both run away sobbing

I mean like a drink-a-beer-in-the-shower-while-crying kind of sobbing

and thank you jessica price for removing the post that when taken out of context from all the others made me look like a total creeper

now people can forever wonder what was said as this gleaming gem of a thread stands the test of time

Taldor

how dare you

Taldor

okay now my post at the top of this page is not only looking completely sketchy by itself without context, but now it is not even true

I would type a sadface emote but that would mean I would actually have to use a sadface emote and that is just like a line that I will not cross

ashiel are you in like a wormhole or is this just the day where you reference things from long ago like old posts or zubaz pants

and no

the point is that with a fighter, you can conjure up feat-intensive builds and feat progressions faster than any other class

when you are building at level 10, 15 or 20 with eleventy hojillion gold and 16.239% of a wand this might not matter, but it does to a lot of players who have their first 9 PFS sessions under their belt and get to try a feat progression set they've never seen before in a build they might not otherwise be able to execute in any reasonable length of time

yes maybe you get to a certain point and you realize hey, I can do this thing I am doing better with x then with the y I currently have

this is good thing and signals growth as a player

but that is meaningless if the player is scared out of learning for themselves by the innundation of repetitive generalizations that have mostly been garnered from going way down the theorycrafting rabbit hole, either min/max-wise or character-level-wise

Taldor
