I know he technically uses a Greatsword, but one-handed greatsword use in Pathfinder is basically impossible for anyone other than Barbarians, and I think we can all agree that Sieg is no Barbarian. And I couldn't do the large bastard sword trick again because Sieg is not from Anor Londo (and thus not a nephilim).
Umm, I could definetly see Siegmeyer as Barbarian :3
Really? Honorable full-plate wearing Sieg who challenges demons and tentacled monstrosities while sounding like a British Gentleman? And who suggested (in DS3) peaceful cooperation with the Giant Archer?
I don't get Barbarian off of that at all.
Still, that is one of the beauties of Pathfinder - if you have a concept in mind, there are lots (often dozens) of different ways to achieve the concept.

Barbarians aren't automatically dishonorable or unfriendly :3
And Siegmeyer (from 1) was a lot more about charging into challenges than thinking things through like Siegward was.
Barbarians aren't automatically dishonorable or unfriendly :3
I didn't intend to imply that they were. One of my favorite barbarians ever was from a webcomic (the name of which I can't remember) where the barbarian was a high int character who preferred diplomacy and planning - and actively avoided using his rage (since it was the kind where he could not tell friend from foe).
My point was more that, while Siegmeyer is reckless, he never struck me as out of control. He is a very controlled person choosing to do risky things for personal glory and self-enrichment. While he could just be choosing to never use his rage class feature, that doesn't really lend itself to a good build.
And Siegmeyer (from 1) was a lot more about charging into challenges than thinking things through like Siegward was.
True. Which is why I gave him a class where charging at challenges is literally one of his class features. :p
Yeah hope she will feel better as for some suggestions:

I should have said - I am not touching on DS2 at this time. For various reasons, mostly including the fact that the only thing I plan to use from DS2 in my upcoming game is someone's name.

Special Abilities
Bracelet Phalacteries (Su): Wolnir's life force is contained in his three bracelets, reminants of the three crowns he acquired to become the high lord. If these three bracelet phalacteries are sundered, Wolnir dies, his soul pulled into the abyss. Each of these bracelets has AC 33, 23 HP, and hardness 20.
Dark Cloud (Su): Wolnir can, as a standard action, emit a cloud of acidic gas that harms those within it. The cloud fills a 20 ft area around him and discipates after 1d4 rounds. Wolnir must wait an additional 1 round after the cloud discipates before producing another.
Half a Man (Ex): Wolnir, while gargantuan, is actually the upper half of a colossal sized skeleton who has lost his lower half. As such, his natural and manufactures weapons are colossal sized and deal damage as such. Wolnir also takes colossal size penalties to hit and AC (and bonuses to CMB and CMD).
Summon Skeletons (Su): Wolnir can summon skeletons to aid him in battle. He may summon two CR 9 skeletons (see the DS1 Catacombs section of the Bestiary) to fight for him. If these skeletons are destroyed, he must wait 1d4 rounds before summoning more.
Enjoy!
Anyone else?

Cool!
Don't forget the lighting breath though :3
**makes a face**
You know, the DS3 wiki really sucks compared to the DS1 wiki.
When I was stating the DS1 monsters, I could literally look at their exact resistances and full move sets (sometimes with animated gifs of the attack).
DS3 wiki? I'm lucky if any of the attacks or resistances are mentioned, and if they are, they are vague as hell.
Case in point - there was no mention of lightning breath on the wiki. It literally only mentioned a bite attack. **sigh**
Fortunately, breath weapons are easy to do.
So 10d8 electrical damage (for 45 average, right in the middle for CR 12). DC 24 is a bit high, but it will do.
Is it a cone or a line?
Big sweeping line.
What do you mean by sweeping? A lot of the other "sweeping lines" I've statted as cones because they cover a cone-shaped area, even if they are emitted as a line.
Also, I've jumped over to Fextralife a few times, but I tend to go to the other one (wikia) first because Fextralife doesn't always use the official names for the monsters, and I'm trying to.

Once again - I have a couple of days where I will be off work and spending a good deal of time sitting around watching TV, so if anyone has any monster requests from Dark Souls 3 (or DS1 for that matter), let me know and I will do my best to work on those monsters.

Nope, you haven't missed it - I haven't yet played Dark Souls 3 (saving it for this fall/winter), so all my DS3 enemies are based on the Wiki and Let's Plays, and none of my preferred LPers have played Ringed City yet. One of them HAS it, but hasn't gotten to it yet, so it's just a matter of time.

Special Abilities
Dark Beam (Su): This ability effectively acts as a second breath weapon with its own timer, usable every 1d4 rounds, reflex for half, DC constitution based. Once per day, Midir can activate both his fire breath and his dark beam in the same around with the same standard action. Afterwards, both breath weapons are delayed for 1d4+1 rounds, each rolled individually, and Midir is staggered for 1 round.
Dark Explosion (Su): As a full-round action, Midir can charge dark energy around him, releasing it in a short-distance blast immediately around him. This attack is particularly easy to dodge, taking a -2 racial penalty to the Reflex DC, and a successful reflex save avoids the attack completely.
Mass Affinity (Su): As a standard action, Midir can create a large group of humanity masses to attack his foes. This ability functions like magic missile, except that it produces 10 projectiles that deal 1d6+1 negative energy damage each. The projectiles also move more slowly than magic missile, unerringly following their target for up to 3 rounds before dissipating. The projectiles move 30 ft. per round, meaning that a creature can avoid them by staying more
-
So there you go.
I will say, I kinda wish that the people who made Dragonlance CS for 3.5 had updated to Pathfinder since they had some great Breath Weapon feats that would have fit Midir very well.
Keep the requests coming! You all don't need to wait until I finish one before requesting another - I can work on more than one at once.

Special Abilities
Black Flame (Su): All fire spells that Friede casts are infused with black flame - half of the damage they deal is untyped divine damage, similar to flame strike.
Restored by Fire (Su): Sister Friede is healed by fire. Any fire damage dealt to her instead heals her an equal number of HP. Friede automatically fails any save against spells that deal fire damage. However, spells that deal fire mixed with a second damage type (such as blackflame, flame strike, or plasma damage) deal damage as normal, with no reduction or absorption for the fire component.
Design Note: Sister Friede has a unique magus archetype. She does not get spellstrike, and as such, she cannot cast spells through her weapon. Nor does she gain heavy armor proficiency or knowledge pool. Instead, she gains evasion as a ranger (when wearing medium armor) and quickdraw as a bonus feat. Finally, she casts spells spontaneously using charisma rather than preparing spells and casting with int. As such, she cannot prepare metamagic ahead of time - she can only use metamagic as a full-round action.
The abilities "Black Flame" and "Restored by Fire" are "alternative racial abilities" due to Sister Friede's unique background.
Sister Friede is a CR higher than normal due to player WBL

Special Abilities
Flaming Blood Bowl (Su): Father Ariandel's bowl of blood and fire can be wielded by Father Ariandel as a two-handed melee weapon without any penalties for improvised weaponry. The bowl counts as a flaming weapon, dealing 1d6 fire damage per hit.
World Painter (Su): Father Ariandel painted the world of Ariandel, as did those before him, as will those after him. This effectively functions as create demiplane except that the area is much, much larger than even the greater version of that spell. The exact dimensions of the painted world are left to the GM to decide.
-
On alignments - I left Friede's as ?? because I honestly have no idea what alignment she would be. I list Ariandel as CE because he is is both insane (C) and undead (E). I realize that hollows/undead being evil is not always a thing in Dark Souls (Anri being a full on good-aligned hollow, for example), but close enough, I think, in this case.
Any other requests?
Hmm.. He does have a 'Pour flaming blood over oneself' thing although that might just be for effect.
Hmm.. He does have a 'Pour flaming blood over oneself' thing although that might just be for effect.
Isn't that how he activates his breath weapon? He pours the bowl over his face and then breath/spits it back out at the player?
Is Father Ariandel and the corvians Undead?
Yes - in that they are living corpses afflicted with rot. So close enough.
In the case of the Corvian Knights (which I'm currently working on) and Father Ariandel, they are specifically undead outsiders. So technically Father Ariandel should have a (extraplanar) subtype next to his undead type, but I forgot to note it.

This is pretty awesome actually yeah! I was looking for a nasty 'dark' dragon for a dark souls theme game I'm gonna run sometime.
Thanks! I haven't done many dragons for Dark Souls just because most Dragons in Dark Souls are mechanically no different from normal Pathfinder Dragons. Midir was different enough that I felt it warranted a proper write up (similar to the Gaping Dragon).
If you want a lower (or higher) CR version of Midir, it should be possible to adjust his age category. He's built as "ancient" (I balanced him against Ancient Red and Ancient Umbral) so one could adjust up or down from there based on the chart in the Bestiary.

Been a while.
Anyway, I was watching my favorite Blind LPer go through the Irithyll Dungeon section of DS3, and that got me thinking about Jailers.
That thing where they drain Max HP with a look - how would one implement that, I wondered. I've already made Con damage into Toxic, so how to represent a loss of Max HP?
And then it came to me. Negative Levels. I have used them almost nowhere else, and they do "reduce you until you die" similar to the Jailer's gaze.
And wouldn't you know it, but there's an already built undead in Pathfinder that causes Negative Levels with their gaze.
Bodaks.
Advanced Bodaks, at CR 9, are just about right for Jailers. Rearrange a few feats, give them a flaming heavy mace for their pokers, and they're basically done. Or, if one wanted them a bit tougher and more size appropriate, both the Advanced and Giant templates for a tough CR 10.
If one wanted to be closer to the game, make the Bodak's negative levels only last a minute or so, but make it save-less - every round they look at you, you take a negative level.
(also, if Bodak negative levels are already save-less, then never mind that statement - I'm doing this from my memory of Bodaks, so I might have a few minor errors in this musing)
Anyway, that's it for today. I have been pretty busy lately, so I haven't been able to spend much time on this. Still, if anyone has any requests for DS3 (or DS1 stuff I missed), then let me know.
While I think that bodaks do make good jailers be careful with them, I absolutely hate the jailers from a game design standpoint
Question: does anyone know of a gaming mini that resembles a Firekeeper?
This thread is pure gold.
PURE.

And actually I already did both of those.
Manus is CR 19 and back in the Oolacile section. Kalameet is short since there is already a dragon that does basically everything Kalmeet does, so I just said "use this dragon at this age" and that was it. Should be in the same section.
I know it's kind of silly, but would you consider stating up a Giantdad enemy? It would be interesting to see him as a barbarian or bloodrager with the fire bloodline.
GiantDad is a PVP build right? I avoid PVP (and basically all online multiplayer in all games, not just Dark Souls) so I only know of GiantDad in a fairly vague sense.
Also, wouldn't a GiantDad technically be a PC build in a tabletop game?
Which one?
Well, any of the humanoid ones really (other than the Darkmoon Lady since she wears armor), but with preference for the Fire Keeper from DS3. So one that looks like Anastasia or Shanalote would work too.
Platemail,Greatsword(shocking burst)= GiantDad
Hm. That does give me an idea for the other Dark Souls thread - Resins. Ie, one-use items that make a weapon temporarily flaming, shocking, etc.
Not sure if you're still taking requests/suggestions for Dark Souls stat blocks but could you do Slave Knight Gael? I know you're not super familiar with the Ringed City but he's one of my fav DS bosses and it would be cool to see him PF-ified. :)
