Mythic Adventures

Except Mythic Tiers are supposed to count for CR, so I'm not really sure how that will work out.

Won't know until we see the playtest rules, I guess.

In my experience, looking at the rules, a "+X to CR" isn't too different from saying "Counts as X levels higher." So a level 5 character (generally considered a 'CR 4' character by the rules) with 2 mythic tiers is going to count as a 'CR 6' character in the end. If that makes sense.

A part of me is hoping for a fighter to be able to go down the Archmage path.

Muscle Wizard is born!

The only possible response is THIS

I was wondering when someone would catch on to that little correlation. You even beat the folks here in the office. As for the hybrid classes, there will be an option that allows you to get into more than one path.

So Jason, if you want to explore both paths fully, will you have rules for epic Mythic tiers?

:D

As for their being a large number of paths, currently I am trying to settle on six just to prevent too much bloat. That said, each path has a very large number of options built into it, allowing you to explore each one a little differently.

That I am glad to see. I was a bit concerned, when seeing only 6 tiers, that all your arcane casters would look the same in Mythic tiers (choosing Archmage), all the fighter classes (Fighter, Ranger, Barbarian) would look the same in picking Champion.

I really do hope there will be a way to differentiate one another and you don't have cookie cutter Mythic builds.

Sounds awesome!

Looking forward to a Glorantha game using this. Red Moon Goddess and the Lunar Empire vs. Orlanthi PCs.

i wish paizo had the rights to stat up elric,,corum,,and hawkmoon
when i was younger i loved the moorcock books...

I hate to say this; but mythic sounds like power creep on steroids...or maybe an introduction to Pathfinder 2.0 . Count me out if this comes to pass.

I have to agree with it sounding like "power creep on steroids" part,

I don't ever plan to use the Mythic rules with any of my home-brew games, but if it's done well and the power creep is in check I won't mind it as much for special campaigns.

How can something that is explicitly designed to grant mythic power to players be considered power creep? The whole intent of this ruleset is to increase power. Power creep is accidental and unintended. Mythic adventures is deliberate and controlled.

Apples and oranges, my friend. Apples and oranges.

I am vehmenently against such major increases in player power. I believe that Pathfinder is nicely balanced as it is; and that mythic powers lead only to an inevitible furher power escalation in post mythic book releases. Soon, each player will assume Godlike status and this will destroy the heroic nature of the game- making Pathfinder an entirely different game. The nature of heroism is that of man or woman struggling against great odds, not battles between godlike beings.

Ugh...seriously? Did you even read what this thing is about. THESE ARE OPTIONAL RULES. What is with some people?

So don't use the extra rules. They've said they'll continue to support non-mythic play as well. The rest of use are looking forward to this.

agreed.

a Mythic module a year or two or a Mythic AP every 2->3 years would be fine by me and keep the Heroics Heroic and rare as they should be.
But if every other module or AP becomes Mythic I see power creep on steroids and energy drinks.

I don't think this is power 'creep.' It's a mad power dash, face painted and screaming for blood. And I like it! By making it an add-on option, it becomes like point buy, something a GM can choose when the game starts, and not something that is assumed to exist for everyone whether or not the GM wants to use it.

It should also be possible to write normal APs and adventures, and then have 'Mythic conversions' that take up a couple of pages, tops, mentioning what sorts of changes would be appropriate for specific encounters, for a party of tier X or tier Y.

Another interesting bit about the Mythic 'plug-in' being optional, is that a GM can pick and choose who gets it and when;

For those who still have a 'linear fighter, quadratic wizard' problem with the game, the mythic rules could also be implemented in your home games in different increments, by class. A non-spellcaster, like a fighter, monk or rogue, might be able to use one mythic tier per 5 levels, while a hybrid or partial caster like a bard or ranger can use one mythic tier per 10 levels, and a full spellcaster like a cleric or wizard is limited to one mythic tier per *20* levels. By adjusting mythic tiers in this fashion, by 'class tier', as the full caster spell list expands into game-changing territory (at 5th, when the wizard begins flying, at 10th when he's teleporting, etc.) the fighter/monk/rogue types are also getting some 'nice things.'

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought I read somewhere that some products would be "Mythic-accessible" and not "Mythic-only". I see this as being maybe a page or two in an AP's player's guide PDF.

What is the difference between Mythic Magic Items and Artifacts?

1. Does this require every member of a party to by mythic? How do you keep a mythic PC from overshadowing the non-mythic PCs?

2. This obviously doesn't work like epic rules, but does this mean that epic rules (ie, levels above 20th) are off the table for the future?

I have to be honest, if I can become a demigod at 10th level using mythic rules, I see no point in advancing to 20th without them.

Obviously, I don't know anything about it, but I don't see it working like that based on the preview. Each tier of mythic sounds like it requires specific deeds to be accomplished before advancing. My guess is that the things you have to accomplish to go from 9th to 10th tier isn't going to be done by a 10th level character.

To add to what Michael said, first, you don't gain these levels with XP so planning a character in advance (like many players do) is sort of off the table with this because you can't necessarily count on getting Mythic levels when you want them.

Second, you'll still want to advance to 20th level if you want Tier 10 powers since your Mythic Tier is capped by half your level.

So don't use them?

You do realize that Mythic powers are not only optional but also only granted by the GM, right? As in, a player can't just decide to take a Mythic Tier instead of a regular level. As has been said a dozen times in multiple threads, Mythic Tiers can ONLY be gained by completing deeds and at the discretion of the GM. They are not tied to XP, at all. That means the GM gets to control the power limit of players (which the GM is already supposed to be doing).

If, on the other hand, you mean that the injection of Mythic Tiers into Golarion will disrupt the setting then you're mistaken. Golarion has Mythic NPCs and creatures already, which is one of the reasons they're producing these rules - so they can finally detail these characters in full.

As for the nature of heroism, well I agree with you. Luckily, these rules don't turn anyone into a god. What they allow for is for characters to gain just enough power to be able to take on Demon Lords (and similar beings) and possibly win. That sounds pretty heroic to me.

...Second, you'll still want to advance to 20th level if you want Tier 10 powers since your Mythic Tier is capped by half your level.

That bit isn't graven in stone at this point.

I want to note, that at this time, there is no limit to how many mythic tiers you can possess, other than the upper cap of 10. The guideline about have no more than half your level is just that, a guideline (and done for good reason as some of the higher tier abilities cue off of higher level abilities from the classes).

This looks suspiciously like Paizo's attempt to make Pathfinder look and feel more like 4th Edition.

I heard it's actually an attempt by the Freemasons to brainwash players into working for the Illuminati to prepare their way into power for the 2016 election.

This is the rampant conspiracy theories thread, right?

One of the really cool things about Mythic is you can use it for a game and then take it away. You don't have to make them permanent.

That means for one game, maybe even the finale to an epic adventure, your "joe average" players can eat the flesh of a fallen god and gain mythic powers that enable them to defeat a legendary beast. How long they retain the powers is up to the GM, and they might only last a certain amount of time before they peter out. So in this regard, the might even work like a spell or something. They're just a tool.
GM giveth, GM taketh away.
As far as how they are used in Golarion, I wouldn't expect them to warp the basic flavor anymore than the addition of Guns did in Ultimate Combat. Which is, they didn't. Some home games probably have a lot of guns, but the core content hasn't changed and most games still don't have gunslingers.
Pathfinder is a very successful game. The designers don't want to break it.

Well, true enough, each GM can modify the guidelines as they see fit, but that's really no different than any other guideline in the game. Either way, it's still up to the GM what the player has access to.

Hey!!

Did everybody see the posts by the Paizo staff that said there was going to be plenty of non Mythic material, with small amounts of Mythic support and there was even a comparison to the Alchemist and Haunts was made. Such that those are new rules, yet not every single AP/Module utilizes said rules.

Or did you ignore that, and instead got all nerdraged and butthurt?

OR do you think the Paizo folk are lying to us??

So I take it that these are kinda like amped up Heroic Paths from the Midnight RPG?

They are always lieing to us. Pathfinder isn't real man, it's all just a mental projection induced by the brainwashing thetawaves released by the Paizo Corporation man. They're making us spend money on a product that isn't real so they can achieve nearly 100% profit! But the real evil is that Lisa isn't even human man. No, she's actually an agent from an interstellar species sent here to fuel our imagination, forcing us to dream of fake worlds and impossible deeds, all so she can halt our ascension into more a technologically advanced species that would be capable of fending off her extraterrestrial masters when they come to harvest our planet for it's dwindling resources.

I'm somewhat reminded of timecube.com ...

I'm wondering how much room there is for concepts outside of such singular ideas as the six paths presented.

I have a recurring character that focuses on skills, trickery and beguilement using magic. Both archmage and trickster, at least on the surface, seem like they might be the right path. Can you multiclass mythics? Can you be a 'mythic theurge', gaining reasonable progression in two paths (albeit not as much as someone single-pathing)?

Oh, good. I hope the balance for hybrid paths is reasonable and not as poorly as Pathfinder's stance on multiclassing has been. We have far fewer paths than there are classes, and I'd really like to see blends be as good as pure paths.

Sounds like a nice idea... only thing I am concerned with is the power bloat. Once PCs get a taste it will become part of the standard game.

Ilove to see the optional extension handled like this, but it brings another question on my mind... are we going to get low magic rules sometime in future as well?

one question i have.

does this mean we will eventually get a Continued Rise Of The Runelords AP?

cause id like a chance to fight the other runelords and take their pla....i mean, take em down :/

Oh, that's hot!

I love the idea of an AP or something that, in the climactic end-scene, takes the party *into the Starstone* to stop the ascension of a new god of evil, and, while inside the Starstone Cathedral, *everybody* uses Mythic rules.

When they win (hopefully!) they must choose, go all the way into the Starstone and take their chances with the Test (becoming an NPC demigod or a corpse, but ending that character's story with a bang!), or step back outside and return to being a boring old regular non-Mythic kickass 15th+ level adventurer.

A mission into the First World, to oppose (or save!) one of the Eldest, might also use this sort of 'temporary' Mythic transformation, as the nature of the First World fundementally changes those who enter its deepest heart (at least, as long as they remain there...).

It reminds me a little bit of the Walt Simonson run on Thor, where Jormungandr rose to fight Thor, and the entire world froze in time, because they had entered 'myth-time,' a state of existence in which things that could simply not exist in the real world (like a sea serpent big enough to wrap itself around the planet) were manifesting openly, and Thor was able to unleash levels of strength and effect way above his normal 'weight class' (as if the world was not normally 'big enough' for the full power of the god of thunder, and only in 'myth-time,' could he rise to the challenge of the Midgard Serpent, when the rest of the world was unable to see what they weren't quite ready to see).

im not trying to burst your bubble, but i dont see this happening. Norgorber entered and became a god and hes evil. i dont think that alignment has anything to do with it. if youre not worthy, you dont get in. and i also see the test starting as soon as you enter the place, which is technically right and wrong, as the test starts by traveling over the pit without the aid of the bridge.

i would like to see an AP end with a player or the party crossing the pit one by one and entering the cathedral and then end it there. classic 80's style.

does this mean we will eventually get a Continued Rise Of The Runelords AP?

James Jacobs has said in a couple of places (notably his "Ask" thread) that one of the reasons they wanted to do Mythic rules was so that they could finally stat up all the Runelords (as well as Demon Lords and Great Old Ones).

Also, someone asked about being able to run APs with fewer players with Mythic rules, and in the discussion thread about them after the Gen Con announcement, it was stated that this was a possibility.

im not trying to burst your bubble, but i dont see this happening. Norgorber entered and became a god and hes evil. i dont think that alignment has anything to do with it. if youre not worthy, you dont get in.

It would have nothing to do with 'not being worthy,' it would have to do with a group of adventurers deciding that they don't want evil-dude-X to become a god, and trying to stop him from passing the Test of the Starstone.

The Starstone itself would not be rendering any sort of judgement here, it would be purely the PCs deciding that they don't want, say, Tar-Baphon, or Razmir, or Arazni, or Abrogail Thrune, or the Black Sovereign of Numeria, or whomever (perhaps something a bit less human, like an elder aboleth sorcerer or a great wyrm dragon or a creature from Leng), to become the next Starstone Scion, and are willing to cross the chasm to fight him/her/it in the Cathedral, before they reach the Starstone itself.

The PCs might not even have to win, they might just have to force the bad-guy to expend so much of his personal resources fighting them off that it doesn't have enough left to pass the Test. Plus the nature of the Starstone might make it dangerous for everyone in the Cathedral, as challenges appear for both the aspirant, and from the PCs who are trying to thwart his ascencion.

Sounds like a nice idea... only thing I am concerned with is the power bloat. Once PCs get a taste it will become part of the standard game.

I keep seeing these sorts of comments pop up and I'm baffled by the reasoning. Once players get a taste? Since when did players drive the content of a game to that degree? What is part of the "standard game" is determined by the GM. The players can't force the GM to use anything. If you only purchase hardcover products from Paizo to use in a homebrew setting it should't even remotely be a problem.

As for the "standard game" from a Paizo production schedule standpoint: this doesn't change anything. It will be occasionally supported and occasionally not when it comes to APs and setting material. Just like player options from the APG, UM, and UC. Sometimes the writers use these materials and sometimes they don't. And when they do, it's not because the writers have been influenced by player character demands.

Block Knight has a point. Despite what I've heard on these forums, it's rare that I come across a player in real life that is so heavily entrenched in 'player entitlement' that they'll throw a temper tantrum when they don't get their way. And even if I've come across a player like that, I just think "Man, I don't really want to play with this guy..."

@The Block Knight
Some groups do not operate at that level. Play group dynamics is wide and varied as are GM's ability and style.
Players in regular established play groups at regular time, insular groups who only play within those limits, will take these rules on and add to the game. These are the mechanic bloat kings - min/max and everything in between.
I think the silent majority of players fall into that category.

thats the point. the evil one may be deemed worthy to attempt the test and be allowed to enter. just because you get over the pit doesnt mean that the cathedral openings for you. it has even been stated in the books that many have passed the pit but yet still couldnt enter the cathedral. so if the pcs were just trying to stop the individual and nothing more, and the cathedral already let him in, im afraid that the pcs would not be allowed to enter since the other has been chosen worthy to take the test and the pcs are just there to stop him as their first priority instead of trying to become a god.

I don't think your group is as bad as you might think ;) One example I've had to deal with:

ME: Alright guys, time for character creation. No gunslingers. Doesn't fit the setting. Other than that, everything it fair game.

PLAYER: What? Why not?

ME: It just doesn't really fit with the setting I have planned. You can play any of the other classes though

PLAYER: That's not fair! It's in the Core!

ME: Bro, chill the f@*# out. It's just one class for f#%+'s sake.

PLAYER: I already made my character! That's not fair!

ME: Wait you already made your character? I said we'd do it today!

PLAYER: (slams UC on table, knocking a Coke down) I get to play my gunslinger or I'm f+~+ing walking.

ME: Seriously!?! Get the hell out now!

This is a fairly rare case. I'm a fairly compromising GM, but I don't suffer douches.

Ok, fair enough to some extent. I'll admit there are groups that once they tack a book onto their "core list" it becomes a permanent option for that group and players can always use it. Not sure if I'd call that the majority. Who knows.

However, that still doesn't change anything with Mythic rules. Players can clamor for access all they want but it won't change the fact that Mythic Tiers are awarded by the GM. You can't choose to take Tier levels in a Mythic Path unless the GM is granting Mythic awards for player deeds. They're not part of XP progression. This is one option that is pretty much always in the hands of the GM. Power bloat shouldn't be a problem.

Yes! Playtest announced! Awesome! I cannot wait to get a peak at the rules!

You know what's not awesome?

The negative posts about how Mythic Adventures is going to 'change/adversly effect/ruin' Pathfinder.

Seriously? We've been shown TWO Mythic abilities. Two.

We've also been given a lot of teasers about Mythic Adventures.

Paizo's ten years of detailed, consistent, and nearly stellar track record gives them the benefit of the doubt on EVERYTHING they publish, IMO.

Does that mean I think everything they publish is perfect? Hell no, but it DOES mean I trust them to produce quality products that will be well thought out and useful to me and most of their customer base.

They've earned that trust.

If they haven't earned that trust with you, why are you here?

Very curious and excited about mythic being its own thing and by it being avaialbe from 1st level on up.

I for one can not wait!

I've been saying this for the last week.

So, where are the Demon Lords? :)

Are we going to see at least one in the book, or shall we expect a new Bestiary? Or another book entirely?

I think [Gandalf] was the Demigod class, with a bit of Archmage path thrown in.

Per the blog, a 10th tier archmage is "akin to a demigod." That frees up all of Gandalf's class levels to be something entirely unrelated to being a demigod. :)

Y'know, if there is a Mythic Bestiary of any sort that's Golarion-specific....there's one guy that absolutely has to be on the cover. :D

"If you would be He Who Walks In Blood you must slay He Who Walks In Blood."

Hey, there's no Monk path. Guess once again there will be no to fix the Monk class. Again we see no love for The Class That Matters. Whatever we do now? /SARCASM
