Generally, I prefer games that adhere to a certain standard of simulation-ist mechanics. It's a component of immersion and the meat of sourcebooks that make me actually want to read them. 3.5 and Pathfinder 1e always felt like the designers cared about modelling things, even less "important" stuff like social structures and hazards. Pathfinder did admittedly break some things; create water at-will breaks droughts and channel energy breaks battlefield hospitals (unless you treat those injuries as non-hp thing, which I think is bad for system health). But, overall, I feel Pathfinder still did a good job keeping the world-building in mind.
Pathfinder 2e and 4e don't have that same feel to me, and I can point to a lack of multiclassing as an example of the pervasive design philosophy. Both systems push power-ups on a character that aren't flavor-neutral. You have to get better at being a wizard, even if your character has second thoughts about their career choice. You have to get more dwarf-y in pathfinder 2e as you level up, even if your character isn't really interested in their heritage.
5e technically has this issue with its multiclass limitations, but no one really goes into a class without the appropriate stats so it isn't really relevant. I have enjoyed the amount of video content produced for 5e, though I have my gripes with it (crossbows and polearms, weapons famous for requiring a ton of training and being speedy to attack with). The books are also bland in comparison to 3.5, which I consider the best art-wise due to variety, and the mechanics don't flow naturally out of the surrounding text (the lore is also still very borked from 4e). Really, though, the reason I'm dropping 5e is because of the OGL; I don't feel I can support them, even with eyeballs.
So, yeah. To add a bit more to my point, if I'm not looking to mechanics for immersion, I'd just prefer a system with simpler mechanics, so there isn't much draw there for me for 2e and stuff. If there's ever a Pathfinder 3e, I'll probably check it out, but it's tough for me to imagine something that would both appeal to me and to the 2e fanbase.
Oh, and for the older games. 3.5 was my entry edition, so I don't really have experience with them. Glanced over some, but that's about it.
Sorry, I didn't phrase that well. On second thought, I might be over-thinking it. I just was wondering what character types would fit best with the plans, high magic, low magic, that sort of thing. I'm pretty flexible.
I think I'd like to join your game. I've never played PbP before, but I have a good measure of experience in Pathfinder. What kind of character do you envision for this campaign? I have a folder of 1st level characters I could look through.
Edit: Just saw your post. I've played in the Pathfinder system for 5 years and have GMed games with two groups.
A warlock is proficient with all simple weapons as well as light armor.
Ego:
(Ex):
A warlock uses his Charisma modifier instead of his Wisdom modifier for Will saves. He adds his Charisma modifier twice for compulsion, charm or fear (pick one).
Eldritch Bond:
At 1st level, you must choose which major gift your patron grants you from the following:
Gift of Health (Su): While attacking with eldritch discharge, if you get a critical hit or kill an opponent with Hit Dice equal to or greater than half your level, you heal a number of hit points equal to your Charisma modifier.
Gift of a Servant (Ex): You gain a familiar at a level equal to your warlock. However, you never gain the power to use touch spells through your familiar.
Eldritch Discharge:
(Su):
As a standard action, you can make a ranged touch attack at a target within 60ft that deals 1d6. This attack has a critical of 20/x2. Spell resistance and spell failure from non-light armor apply to this ability. The damage increases by 1d6 every 2 levels thereafter. You may not make additional attack even if your BAB, a feat, such as Rapid Shot, or a spell allows it. You can’t use Vital Strike or Deadly Aim with this ability.
Patron:
Similar to a witch, a warlock has a mysterious patron, and from pacts with it, derives his dark power. However, unlike a witch, a warlock gains powerful abilities that are like bloodline powers.
_____Agility:
Flickering Hand (Ex): At 1st level, your stride takes on a seemingly blurring speed. You gain a +10 to base land speed.

In and Out (Su): At 16th level, a number of times per day equal to your Charisma modifier, you can leap from the Material Plane to the Ethereal Plane. This functions as ethereal jaunt and takes a move action to use. This lasts a number of rounds equal to your warlock level.
_____Animal:
You can not choose gift of health from eldritch bond.
Wild Empathy (Ex): A warlock can improve the initial attitude of an animal. This ability functions as the druid ability of the same name (see page 50) except the warlock uses his warlock level instead of druid level, and a warlock does not take a -4 penalty for using this ability against a magical beast of an Intelligence of 1 or 2.
Animal Companion (Ex): At 8th level your familiar gains all the benefits of an animal companion at an effective level equal to your warlock level -3 (minimum 1) except the animal companion still uses the familiar’s natural armor bonus.

The distance depends on the distance at which you can attack with eldritch discharge and which shape you choose (1/2 distance) line, (1/4 distance) cone, or (1/8 distance) radius. All creatures in this area are automatically hit by eldritch discharge. A successful Reflex save halves the damage. This distance is always rounded down.
Resist Magicks (Ex): At 16th level, you reduce any damage that comes from a spell or spell-like ability by your Charisma modifier.
_____Endurance:
Toughling (Ex): At 1st level, your body becomes far tougher than most. Endurance is a bonus feat and at 4th level you gain Diehard. You gain these feats even if you don’t meet the prerequisites.
Hardy Recuperate (Ex): At 8th level, your body fights off even the toughest affliction. You gain Heroic Recovery as a bonus feat and at 12th level you gain Heroic Defiance. You gain these feats even if you don’t meet the prerequisites.

If, however, you chose to channel negative energy all undead you animate or create gain have a Strength and Charisma of 4 higher.

sorry for making this thread. i went bug eyed and missed the bit about humanoids i tryed to delete the thread after i saw it but someone had all ready posted. that should teach me to post when i'm tired. :)
If Bestiary feats are allowed, Quicken Spell-like Ability (Summon Monster), you know that spell that the summoner can use as a spell-like ability, can be terrifyingly effective...
I recommend just taking 8 levels of dragon disciple. Get that extra spellcasting level as opposed to sacrificing it by taking that 9th level dragon disciple.
James Jacobs, If you were a Paizo God what Domains would you grant? What would be your Favored Weapon? and would you sell holy water at a discount?... With subscriptions, of course!
Staring into the abyss will eventually turn you into a monster who thinks that summoning demons or creating undead is an awesome idea to solve all your problems.
It only doesn't make sense if you are using the reasoning of a disassociative psychopath.
Oh, you think this steals the thunder from the fey sorcerer.
Maybe
but fey sorcerers do get the star of the bloodline(at least by my opinion) at 15th level. Fey magic which is pretty much auto spell resistance bypass. i tryed to put as much flavor in my Faerie Mystery as i could.
Hi I made a faerie oracle mystery this morning. Feedback always welcome.

Revelations: An oracle with the faerie mystery can choose from any of the following revelations.
_Armor of Leaves (Su):_ You can conjure armor made of magical leaves that grants you a +4 armor bonus. At 7th level, and every four levels thereafter, this bonus increases by +2. At 13th level, this armor grants you DR 5/bludgeoning. You can use this armor for 1 hour per day per oracle level. This duration does not need to be consecutive, but it must be spent in 1-hour increments.

_Invisibility (Su):_ As a standard action, you can become invisible (as per the invisibility spell). You can remain invisible for 1 minute per day per oracle level. This duration does not need to be consecutive, but it must be spent in 1-minute increments. Starting at 9th level, each time you activate this ability you can treat it as greater invisibility, though each round spent this way counts as 1 minute of your normal invisibility duration. You must be at least 3rd level to select this revelation.

You gain a +1 inherent bonus to Intelligence upon taking this revelation and another at every third oracle level gained thereafter. You must be at least 7th level to select this revelation.

You gain the ability to converse with that type of animal as if you were under the effects of speak with animal. You gain the ability to communicate with an additional kind of animal for every 3 oracle levels you have attained.
_Stunning Glance (Su):_ You can stun enemies with a single side-glance. As a standard action, one target within 30 feet is stunned for 1d4 rounds. A successful Will save negates this effect. At 10th level, the look you give is so staggering that enemies who fail their saving throw are stunned for 2d4. At 15th level, creatures who fail their save blinded for the number of rounds they are stunned. You can use this ability once per day plus one additional time per day at 10th level.

You receive a bonus on all saving throws equal to your Charisma modifier and that as a deflection bonus to AC. You are immune to charm and compulsion effects. And last, can plane shift between the first world and the material plane twice per day.
The problem with epic levels is going to be the same problem with levels above 10 but multiplied - how to keep adding features to the characters that are unique and more powerful but not game ending. Of course, by level 20, we have already failed that with casters and class capstones. The question now is what can you possibly give classes now that they have reached the pinnacle of their class and can autoconfirm crits on 15-20 or have basically become a dragon?
I'd say the thing to do is all classes that EXIST cap where they cap. NEW classes that represent Epic roles that can only be acquired once you reach ECL 20 should be created (plus whatever other pre-reqs). Dragon Slayer. Demon Hunter. Godly Troubadour. Basically Epic Prestige Classes specifically for Epic.
Can we have more info on how the kitsune will be implemented.
I love the idea of a fox-like race!
They'll be zero HD races, like elves and humans.
They'll have some shapechanging powers, but we'll probably be experimenting a bit with delaying the full amount of these powers to higher levels.
They're also just recently done being designed, and I haven't developed them yet, so actual details of how they'll be implemented are still very much up in the air. I can say that they'll still be zero HD races at the end of it all, and that they'll be humanoids with the shapechanger subtype.
Thank you.
This is what i love about paizo i ask a request for info and in less then half an hour there is a response :)
