So I'm in an irl long term game, i made a crafting wizard
At the beginning of the campaign the gm and i discussed my wizard making legendary weapons and stuff
I have some ideas, but I'm one man and looking for some good combinations for enchantments and such
Right now i have a
Longspear I'm calling Beast King which is being made from Hydra fangs, a Hamatula Barb and Dragon bone. The theme of this weapon is essentially i made it large sized and gave it the impact enchantment. Understandably i have some room left to work with to make it a worthy plus 5 weapon
The second i have is an elven curved sword Verdant Moon crafted purely from dragon bone, i want to put keen on it buts thats all i have as idea.
"A group of 4 to 5 Kobolds from the various tribes around the Nine Kingdoms are being sent out to venture beyond the lands to settle a new city. The story itself is pc driven, i'll provide quests and general plots the crew can investigate."
This is a Survival city building style game using Kobolds only

Setting information:
The Elemental-kin, Tiefling and aasimar are different due to only demi planes existing.

Where as The elemental children are all blessed by one of the four gods.
*Kobold Tribes can be found in any of the nine kingdoms, but are more prevalent where listed
The Land of the Nine Kingdoms

Illyasviel Nym, who seemingly came out of nowhere, Slew him and took over. She's regarded as one of the strongest People in the world of Aeos. Having slain dragons, eldritch horrors and shown political competence enough to turn Rivalain into a large kingdom made of pieces of the other 8 Kingdoms.
She's now the High Queen and makes laws and watches over the other 8 Kingdoms and their rulers.
She established Pit, A miles deep inescapable prison where most Criminals in the nation are kept. it's guarded by what seems to be a scaleless dragon and it's depths are rumored to be infinite and holding worse and worse things the further one goes down.
The Great Colliseum- A place of combat where annual tourneys and gladiatorial combat is held. The Tourney celebrates the Coronation of the Empress and allows the prisoner who wins freedom from the Pit.

The Celebration occurs for exactly 1 week at the beginning of the year
Populated mainly by Kitsune, Skinwalkers Catfolk and Tengu.
Greywood
A massive forest of almost never ending rain, it's floor is almost always foggy and teeming with dangerous living plants and predators. The run off from this massive jungle leads into The Black Fens.
The Vanara and Ratfolk often work together to build Settlements in the safety of the tree tops.
The practice of Alchemy is deeply rooted here, so many alchemists come here to study from the masters
It's main inhabitants are the Vanara, Ratfolk Though Many Tribes of Grippli live around the rivers on the border between Greywood and The Black Fens
The Black Fens
The Fens are a Dangerous Swamp cloaked in dark magics and containing many eldritch abominations, Giant insects and Poisonous plants. Few have explored beyond the borders enough to document whats inside.
A dangerous swamp inhabited by very few people at all, Those who do live here however claim that the only way to survive is with the protection of the Witches of the swamp.
The Fang Mountains
A large mountain set covering the North eastern section of The Nine Kingdoms, The the western section of the mountains is warm and has many under mountain Dwarven cities, while the further east sections are snowy and filled with abandoned tunnels and dragons
The Dwarves of the fang mountains have been fighting dragon incursions for many years, keeping them from invading the rest of Rivalain.
Within the Fang mountains is the Mage's College known as the Spire. A massive Skyscraper of a tower constructed from a seemingly impossible amount of Marble. Since The High Queen took over she established a law forcing Mages in Rivalain to get licenses for tracking or be sent to the Pit
Between the two Factions, Mages and Dwarves. they have some of the best Craftsman in the World Rivaled only by the Unique builds of The Underland Craftsmen
The Underland
A huge underground Cavern underneath the Nine Kingdoms, they're inhabitant have developed some of the most advanced Technologies in the world Basically Steam punk, guns and Other fantasical technology

The Underland is inhabited By Drow, Gnomes, Kobolds and other races that might be found underground.

* Kobolds Are different as seen in the spoiler Below
Nar'Voth
Nar'Voth is all Badlands and mines, it's only inhabitants being Goblinoid races and the Nomadic Orc Tribes though the two don't associate usually.

The Goblinoids tame Acid spitting Insectoid mounts known as Ankhegs
They're generally Organized bands of Goblinoids all part of several houses lead by a chief. Usually they either fall into the categories of Military Settlements or Mercantile Settlements and it's rare for the two categories to intermingle, One starting wars and the other trying to improve the land they have.
The Western Expanse
A Vast Desert with many tombs both recent and ancient. Most Cities are built along The Great river of Ur, a massive river that flows through the desert and into the badlands of Nar'voth.
The Western Expanse is odd in that an Election is held between the two Noble houses, one run by Elves and the other Gnolls. Who so ever wins runs the city until the election on the following year.
The Expanse has seen it's share of Necromancy issues, and stands as both the best place to learn about undead, both to raise and to hunt...
Shira' Kor
An couple Volcanic Islands among an entire Archipelago of uninhabited islands.
Most are fishermen, farmers, Herbalists, Alchemist.
The inhabitants are Mostly Lizardfolk,Skinwalkers, Nagaji, Grippli, some tribes of surface kobolds
Windswept Valley
A Isolated Valley far beyond the Fang mountains. Few have ever seen what lies inside but it's rumored to be the home of the gods.
The Four Supreme Deities
The four supreme Deities are draconic gods who created the world of Aeos and many of the beings that inhabit it.
They each come together to control the cycle of life and death
Typical depictions of them show only Aki'lan and Yue have wings, suggesting they are female and Zyan'mu and Kol are male.
Zyan'mu the Essence
Mentioned as the eldest of the four, Zyan'mu is typically depicted as a blue sea serpent like dragon with white fur along the back side and deep blue scales.
Zyan'mu created the soul and represents Good, Healing, Water, Repose, Protection, Community
Humans born with his blessing become Undines
He is typically worshiped by doctors, commoners, and sailors
his symbol is a dew drop rolling off a Lotus.
Kol the Architect
Kol is The youngest and most moody of the four. He is a bronze colored dragon with a metallic sheen, with hand like claws.
He is known to create the physical form of mortals and the world.
Typically arcane magic is associated with him, he is known to be the greatest blacksmith and mage to exist in Aeos though he rarely works with metal even going so far as to forbid nature mages (Druids) from wearing metal armor.
Earth, Magic, Knowledge, Rune , Artifice, Plants and Animals fall under his per view
Humans blessed by him become Oreads
He view necromancy in a neutral light, seeing raising the dead as the worst offense and a corruption of the nature he created. but it's other spells worthy of study.
He is typically worshiped by Smiths, mages of all colors, artists and those who love nature.
His symbol is an eye surrounded by various rune work
Aki'Lan the Judge
The most Worshiped of the four deities, She appears as a typical red dragon though significantly bigger with large ruby like growths across the scales that are both armor and spike like.
Aki'Lan Judges the souls of the dead, deciding if they are worthy to pass onto new life or not. She gave mortals a mind and the ability to think and learn.
She is typically associated with formal society, tradition, order, honor, As well as Fire, the sun, Law, Nobility Glory and Knowledge, combat and Metal.
After a argument between herself and Kol the two formed a Rivalry. during which he refused to use metal which is associated with her.
She is followed mainly by knights, merchants and tradesmen, and many others
Humans blessed by her become Ifrits
Her symbol is a Shield with a sun
Yue the World Eater
The least worshiped though surprisingly the strongest of the four deities. She is a light green dragon with massive feathered wings and several smaller tufts going along the body and tail. Unlike the other deities she is known to have a human form though as a god it changes appearance frequently with the exception she always has her wings
Known far and wide as the World Eater, Her duty is to carry mortal souls to be judged. At the Worlds end she will eat it and create a new one.
She is not usually worshiped but is oddly the most likely god to walk among mortals and interfere. She gave mortals free will and the ability to choose and make their own decisions.
While representing destruction and Chaos, she also represents freedom and stands against dictatorship and corrupt rulers. Things such as Air, Liberation, Travel, Luck, Death and Trickery fall under her per view
She is rarely followed by anyone as a result of her World eater legend, but more than one rebellion has flown her flag.
Humans blessed by her are Sylphs, Due to this Sylphs unfortunately are seen as bad fortune and discriminated against
Her symbol is two intertwining swirls
Kobold Changes:
Kobolds of Aeos are known as "the First Children" Mainly due to the oldest known documentation (Their own) claims that historically they came first. They typically have short life spans but bare many offspring and large families. These small proud reptilians, mastered the written language draconic and take pride in their minds and draconic heritage.
Physical description
Kobolds are a more Crocodilian species of reptile in appearance, being scaly and taking on similar colors to dragons. They're typically born with either a long prehensile tail or a short stubby tail with gliding wings.
typically they are short only growing to around 2 - 2'8 on average with outliers growing up to 3'5. Usually weighing around 30-40 pounds.
They can also have a horns and spikes across the body or colorful feathers.
Most Kobolds have similar colors in relation to their family but clans are often mixed.
Society
Kobolds live in any area they can grab, though prefer places where they can get frequent building materials like Forests or caves. Their warrens are organized and frequently added on too, families of kobolds live together whiles hatchlings and eggs are brought to the hatchery for safety.
Kobold Hatcheries are considered the most important part of the clan and where most of their protection goes. A hatchery is an area where eggs can be incubated and young hatchlings raised and taught by the clan elders until they mature.
Kobolds are one of Aeos most clever races, being taught building, mining and engineering from a young age as it helps with the clan, and everyone helps in the clan. That is because everyone from the lowest janitor is taught the importance of their job.
Kobolds often follow a clan of three, consisting of a clan elected leader, a military leader and the religious leader. Though they'll bend to a different race or ruler if they find their leader more competent than them.
Relations
Kobolds are an organized and populated group that work well together, they're cautious and precise.
Kobolds share frequent rivalry with Ratfolk and Gnomes who they see as competition. Gnomes specifically, they live with in the Underland. The clans around their, it's well known the Engineering corp argue over whose technology is more useful, The Kobolds practical tech, or the Gnomes experimental.
They dislike war and pointless fighting and as such don't get along with more war prone races like dwarves and orcs. This is likely due to their history of losing wars, their pride and jealousy.
Alignment and Religion
Kobolds range from cunning and conniving to organized and lawful.
They follow any of the four supreme deities and typically allow that to influence their alignment. but typically they don't tend toward good or evil, they keep a degree of neutrality as that's what they view as most beneficial and practical
Adventurers
Kobold adventurers aren't uncommon, usually it happens when some decide to venture out to explore the lands, learn a trade, skill or form their own clan.

So, I want to run a Kingmaker style game in my Custom setting Aeos. Here's the catch, All the Pc's are Kobolds...
Kobolds in this setting are generally good or neutral aligned.
The idea is that a few kobolds from the various tribes have been sent out to adventure in and out of the lands of the Nine Kingdoms to establish a city created by Kobolds.
Feel free to ask questions and remember this is just an Interest Check for now
Below is all the information a Pc should need to be an Aeosian Kobold,

So, say the target is invisible or otherwise unseen by the caster but the caster knows they're around. can they cast charm or dominate person on them? or similar enchantment spells
So scrolling through the Animal companion list, i noticed my new favorite addition The Titaniboa. Long story Short i don't have much other than i want to build around making this Giant snake as awesome as possible.
To do that i should probably pick whatever class is best at animal companion, Which would that be really?
I have nothing else really decided about this character other than Titaniboa.
So long story short i'm looking to build a character that uses the bladed scarf. my idea so of wants to focus on disarming and tripping if possible.
i'm considering bladed scarf dancer magus, using true strike with combat manuevers. maybe some type of fighter or warpriest just due to I imagine how many feats this might need.
mostly looking for class picking advice or any nice feats that i should take.
So not sure if rules can even answer this one, alignment being what it is.
but anyway i've been thinking lately ''So what if had a character who was a good person, strives to do good and all. But does consistently one evil thing to help with that good like raise the dead or some other spell with the evil descriptor. Would the whole evil in the alignment thing change that character? would the good balance the evil?''
So i'll admit i haven't looked at new archetypes, very much of the occult classes or anything in a while.
point being i'm trying to make an Intelligence based Healer. He purposefully has low wisdom for character reason, he's incredibly smart but has horrible mental willpower and is addicted to blood drinking [Typical In character things].
So clerics, druids, ect don't work cause wisdom based.
long story short, what's the best way to do intelligence based healing characters.
Okay so i have a few questions regarding the half-elf trait Drow heritage, the Drow magic trait, and Drow nobility line of feats.
Does the Drow heritage and drow magic traits let you qualify for the Nobility line? or is half drow paragon still needed? otherwise i don't really understand the purpose of the trait.
mostly i just don't want the light blindness, heck i don't even care for the darkvision granted by drow blooded. unfortunately it's needed for Half drow paragon. So if i can avoid it i will, hence the question.
So i like the idea behind Promethean Alchemist, i like the companion and believe that just maybe the archetype can work. Though i might be losing my mind so who knows.
Problem being it takes the loss of bombs and mutagen hit.
So i'm racking my brain trying to figure out a working build that won't suck.
part of me thinks melee alchemist could somehow work. it still has extracts and discoveries to work with.
So long story short i need some help building an eldritch knight.
the catch i want to use either bloodrager or barbarian for the martial half. The casting half i'm not sure, not really picky about it.
The character's long story short backstory is she was created in a laboratory by an insane shadow-mage who was trying to create life to get out of a deal he made with a demon. He sort of suceeded, resulting in her.
She is an angry amazonian amalgamation of various bloods of creatures, dragons, vampire, ect.
She has anger and aggression issues and specializes in fighting mages, as she plans on killing her ''father'' some day.
i want to play with the anger and mage fighting thing, hence Barbarian or Bloodrager.
for magic i like her using blasty type magic, for melee weapon i like the falcata, greatsword [Sword that chops] or axes, basically more brutal weapons
so yeah i little help picking between the two would be nice
This yet to be named character (looking for name suggestions ) and his cousin spent their childhood competing (The tests each increasing in cruelty )to see who would take over as head of the family.
Along the way they matched eachother step for step. Then came the final event, they had to prove their loyalty by killing their best friend.
They both did it, however This character changed. He regretted his actions and vowed off killing unless absolutely necessary.
I really only have a backstory and main weapons that being shield and sword.
The idea simplified is an atoner type character who has done horrible things that he regrets, Kind of like Himura Kenshin.
i'm looking build and class recommendations,
i'm leaning toward either bard or paladin, something that can work with diplomacy well as he tries to avoid violence.
but i'm not set on much and would like some ideas and suggestions if possible, thanks for the help.
So my current thought is basically to emulate the Pegasus knights from the fire emblem series. Lance user with flying mount. Problem ?I Haven't done much if ever with mounted builds or combat ..So i'm looking for some help
So i'm making a non-evil Drow, the first everyone runs into,
″Is this different from Drizzt?″
Some think Drizzt is lame, others cool.
but this isn't the place to discuss that.
backstory and personal codes i have in what i feel is pretty well done.
summarized background:
i was one of them, just as ruthless, just as arrogant...nothing changed after i fell in love, just that i knew it was true. With one of my families slaves no less.
Then things changed, my mother found out. she had him killed, for the sake of the family and it's future. After that i decided to leave, i had the most important thing in my life taken away by my own family...if i ever have something that great again, it won't be down here in this darkness.
so first and formost i think she will be some kind of neutral. most because i can't justify good on a character that has no issues with slavery.
my biggest thing is i have really no ideas for a class or build to take this so help with that is appreciated.
So a long time ago i played Elders scrolls oblivion, my character was An Argonian who i named He of Rainbow's, Why? Well i found a way to make his scales all manner of colors , hence the name.
So this all leads to me deciding to make a character in Pathfinder based off that character to a degree.
So my set thing's right now are Lizardfolk, Slayer with the Vanguard Archetype.
I'm open to weapon idea's but i am thinking of doing a natural weapons thing.
As for who he is as a character well, His real name is Veresad of the Vanguard. The of the Rainbow's part actually comes in with his backstory in regards to why he left his tribe. You see the people in the tribe made fun of his due to the coloration of his scales being mainly a light whitish pink with various patches of all manner's of colors from Dark red, to blue, to green and purple.
So what am i looking for? mainly a little help with a natural weapons build, luckily lizard folk start with 2 natural weapons already. Though any advice regarding the character is welcome, as long as it's constructive and civil.
Idris, a land torn apart by past wars and chaos is now separated into two factions. Human rebels led by the rebel Baldr Icehammer or the those who support the rightful queen Cera Blackthorne. Amidst this chaos and evil goes unchecked.
So here's the deal, A new mercenary company/guild is forming in the Capital city Cloud-Vale a city built on floating islands in the sky. The queen has had city guards spread the word that the guild is in need of two new members, to join before they can officially be formed and pursue their current goal of taking down a blood drinking, mastermind serial killer.
it has also been announced that this hiring will take place as a talent show of sorts.
please read all who apply:
So these are thing's that you and your character will probably need to know. I apologize for so much information.
The world
Idris is one nation in the world, one that has had two major wars. one was the initial war which lead to the enslavement of the human race.
The second was the rebellion lead by Baldr Icehammer, he took nearly half the nation however there are few people if any who remember any details of how the war was ended. The result lead to Idris being as it is now, an uneasy standstill.
Magic
In this setting there are no other planes of existence, barring one known as Limbo. As such Spells involving summoning things from other planes such as Summon Monster do not exist .
Spells such as Snowball, touch spells, ect that are normally under the Conjuration school are now under Evocation. Summon nature ally does not count toward the summon monster limit as you are calling things from around you or from this planes nature.
the Cure spells that normally count as conjuration now count under the Necromancy school. Manipulating the forces of life energy and yada yada .
Divine magic, domains, clerics most gain power from personal belief rather than any deity specifically. Though gaining power from one of the few deities is possible.
Most with proper teachings or education know that the energy that powers magic is in all things, even in the air itself. Magic can have effects on people’s souls; magic that is good or evil inherently can taint the soul.
If you get confused or are unsure about something please ask me. Anything I haven’t covered here asks about and I will decide on the spot.
Religion
Soriel: That which is Many
Hope is being able to see light despite the darkness
Soriel is not a single being but many, appearing as but balls of light or taking the form of a body-less voice, of multiple things speaking at once. He represents Enlightenment, Community, and Defending those in need. Followers of his faith are taught to grow and learns from their mistakes so that they may further teach others.
Favored Weapon: Unarmed Strike
Symbol: A Tree with many roots spreading far and wide.
Sacred Animal: The Firefly
Sacred Color: Dark Green
The Four Sacred Relics
The most common faith in Idris, many worship the 4 Artifacts that are believed to hold the world together. These Artifacts are known to continually absorb magical energy. Each Artifact represents one of the four elements. They are located at each of the four corners of Idris.
The Crystal Hammer
A large hammer made of jagged purple Crystals, it represents Earth and nature
The First Flame
A blue flame encased in a small glass sphere, it represents fire.
The Morphing Blade
A silvery liquid that changes shape depending on the user. represents water
And The Crown of Winds
A silvery crown of feathers. it represents the wind.
Races
Humans
They are separated into two different varieties
The Barbarian tribes
that make up much of the rebellion and hold a strong hatred for the Elemental-kin (Sylph,Ifrit,Undine,Oreads). Due to the suppression and enslavement of them when they first arrived in Idris.
They are a hardworking and strong. However lack formal education and have difficulty establishing connections with other races
They are changed in the following ways
Ability scores- Constitution +2 and a +2 to any other Ability score
Languages- Xenophobic, receiving Common as their racial language
They do not receive the Skilled trait as such do not have access to traits that exchange it.
The Conquered -
These are humans of the Barbarian tribes who were captured during the war when they arrived. They live under rule of the Elemental Kin, some are slaves though most are normal free citizens.
They are standard humans, having access to alternate racial traits.
Dwarves
They are allied with the Oread’s and help maintain the forests and mountains to the east. Dwarves and Orcs have little to no issue with each other. However Dwarves do have a problem with Trolls and goblinoids, both of whom are a big issue in eastern Idris
Orc’s and Half-Orc they came over with the Human Barbarian Tribes, although separated before the war and fight with the goblinoids over the icy mountain caves The Dragon Teeth Mountains to the west. Orcs and Dwarves have little to no issue with each other.
Goblins and Hob-goblins
Having few places to live most fancy the safety of the Dragon teeth caves over the dragon infested swamps to the south. There main problem as a race is the lack of formal home as they are driven out of most places the y choose to try and settle down in. They are nomadic and less warlike in this setting.
Sylph, Undine, Oread, Ifrit
These four receive the biggest as they are not connected to Genie’s but rather were borne and created on this plane naturally. In actuality they would be more connected to Elementals . They are called the Elemental-kin. Though they look generally humanoid , they are not made of flesh and bone but rather made of their respective element. It should be added that Oreads are well known as the only of the Elemental kin to not become involved in the whole enslavement of humans thing.
They receive the following changes
They do not need to eat or sleep, though they can.
They do not take additional damage from precision attacks.
They count as Elemental Outsiders for the purposes of effects and abilities but do not actually gain the subtype.
Suli
Are the byproducts of human and elemental kin intermingling. They are seen by many as a mistake.
They receive the following changes
They count as Elemental Outsiders for the purposes of effects and abilities but do not actually gain the subtype they also count as Humanoids. They have access to any human only traits, feats classes, etc.
Their Ability Scores change depending on their Elemental parent- They receive the same physical score and penalty as their Elemental parent, their mental bonus may be any other mental stat.
Aasimar and Tiefling
the two races do not get variant heritages as their place in the world is due to good and evil magic respectively. The two magic’s when used by a mage often enough taint the bloodline, causing their birth.
Skinwalker
are less were-wolf more wolf –were. Basically they are animals tainted by and changed due to the influence of powerful magical sources. This change has led to small groups of them popping up; they maintain some form of animal like personalities.
Character creation rules:
Level 3
You may pick either 2d6+6 or 20 point buy. Only one though...
Alignment- No evil under any circumstance, Chaotic neutral must have good reason to stay with the team and just a good reason to want to be it in general; unfortunately I have been tainted by home games and have had bad experiences with it.
Classes- NO 3rd party or Summoner. There are no guns in this setting so keep that in mind.
Races: please see the races section in please read. only those races are allow.
Traits: may take two traits and a drawback for a third if you want. I expect them to fit the character in terms of backstory and fluff.
Gold: Max starting gold for your class, i haven't actually give out WBL amounts of stuff yet.
hp- max at first level, roll the others
We will be using Background skills, Automatic bonus progression and the stamina system for fighters is allowed.
I need a few things from pc's in terms of backstory i need your character to have a fear of some kind. In addition please include with your character aTen minute background
Finally a small piece about your character's talent show entry. you trying to impress the two members of the guild (The two remaining pc's i have) and the queen herself.
This will be run using "Theater of the mind", which means no map's. One house rule added to help keep a few thing's in check is Flanking is counted whenever 2 or more people are engaging the same enemy.
now i know i am probably missing a few things cause this is a lot of information so if you have questions about setting info or anything please ask.
I like creativity so feel free to add in small towns your character is from. really anything just run it by me to make sure it fits.
Anyone got any? i personally am a fan of the idea of iron claws for a weapon. Thinking of either Brawler, fighter.
Tekko-Kagi
Tekko-kagi (iron claw) 2 gp 1d2 1d3 ×2 P disarm
Also known as the iron claw, this device consists of a fanlike structure of five 10-inch blades secured to a sturdy handle strapped to the forearm of the off-hand.
Benefit: A tekko-kagi can be used an offensive weapon, defensively like a buckler, or to disarm an opponent’s weapon without provoking an attack of opportunity. It provides its owner with a +2 circumstance bonus on attempts to disarm or sunder swords or other slender-bladed weapons.
Yea it kind of sucks, but i want to try building and working with it
I think the idea is to work with the fighting defensively thing and disarming thing. though i'm really not sure
So my idea is to use Blade boots, or some other non hand occupying weapon and combine it with two light weapons, probably the Gladius. Is wielding all three of them at once possible?
Is this something that can be done? Or just is it not allowed?
So i'm bad at title's for that i apologize, now on to the Rant! because seriously this bothers me.
I also think that the trait below is the current heirloom weapon though i may be wrong.
FOr the purposes of this rant i will be using Longsword as an example weapon.
For reference here's the actual Trait info
You carry a non-masterwork simple or martial weapon that has been passed down from generation to generation in your family.
Benefit: When you select this trait, choose one of the following benefits:
proficiency with that specific weapon
a +1 trait bonus on attacks of opportunity with that specific weapon
a +2 trait bonus on one kind of combat maneuver when using that specific weapon.
What bother me is Proficiency with that specific weapon. Why? IT MAKES NO SENSE when you take into account simple description based things like non masterwork simple or martial weapon which implies that other than being a family weapon it is in no way anymore special than any other weapon of that type.
No matter how you spin it a Long-sword picked for this trait is still a Longs-sword and because the weapon isn't really supposed to be exotic or unique what makes the training any different from what you would get training with any other Long-sword.
Paying for it i'm fine with that, i've always seen the starting gold as the same concept as wealth by level.
but seriously i get balancing for mechanics but i'm a strict believer that Role playing and fluff should be just as important and taken just as seriously as mechanics.
You got you family weapon and you use it just fine, pick up another and just nope, no proficiency for you, it's a completely different type of weapon...But they are both long swords....nope yours is a different color than the other ones so it doesn't count.
now i'd be okay with it if you could actually like reforge the weapon, make it masterwork and able to be enchanted eventually. because then that would be cool and your weapon would actually have meaning other than jut being the stick you beat people with.
Now i don't really know why this bothers me as much as it does...like it's on par with my invisible stalker problem...maybe worse because of how minor a thing this is. honestly i just felt the need to rant about how much this bothers me.
Ohh boy it's been a while since i've been in the Homebrew section, i haven't really had much in the way of idea's lately. but know for some reason i've had an odd obsession with the idea of Slime people...i blame Anime.
I've actually only just started the idea though i post today in hopes of gathering ideas.
i've seen the 3rd party races doing this already, but this is my take so there will be quite a few differences
So for starters if anyone has any names i'd appreciate the help right now i got nothing good.
other than that if anyone has any idea's for racial abilities or what not that'd be helpful.
I should have some kind of fluff and more racial stuff up some time later .
My thought's so Far
So racial stat adjustments- +2 dexterity, +2 Intelligence, -2 Wisdom
My idea for this is to avoid the general theme that Slime people must be simple and stupid because that's been done already. Instead the idea here is that they are actually quite brilliant though they are new to the world and lack experience and have trouble comprehending the consequences of their actions.
I am open to changing this in just about any way with the exception of an int penalty, i don't want them to be dumb.
Boneless- +2 to acrobatics and Escape artist, in addition these are always class skills for them.
This is just the base of an idea i'm working with but the idea is they have a humanoid form they are molded into and though this restricts them in ways they are still more flexible than most other races
The idea i have so far is that these are humanoid shaped slime people, that have a sort of a slick semi permeable skin that helps them to keep shape.
They are somewhat translucent though colored and look gel-like. their eye's are big and one solid color.
The older they get the more detailed a form they can have
i've also been throwing around the idea of them having a more puddle gel like form similar to a change shape ability that let's them squeeze into small spaces and such. though not really sure how to work it out.
That's what i have right now, i should have more later.
So posting this on the fly, so i might end up forgetting a few things. but here's the base of my issue. Also apologies if i posted this in the wrong place.
IS there a way to get the Plant animal companion other than treesinger Druid? If not is there a way to do a good Melee druid using this archetype?
as an aside i kind of have an idea involving using racial heritage to make a half orc using this by having him have racial heritage elf. i'll explain more later, after work but this is the gist.
Onto my next idea cause lately i've been having to many of them: from a Halfling ninja butler to a Buff Kobold.
This time i want to build a Blacksmith type Character. Basically the idea is he forges and crafts weapons and armor. Doing this requires feats and usually magic or at least some specialization in UMD. that much i know kind of unless you count the master blacksmith feat.
The thing is Crafting is cool for out of combat purposes, but i don't want him to end up useless in combat. so with the feats mostly taken up with crafting, i'm thinking i need a sort of self sufficient class that either gets enough feats or some more ideas other what little i have.
Things i think could work
Maybe he uses hammers seems like a blacksmith type thing
Races i am thinking of for various reasons
Human-Classic and easy to fit into any idea
Half elf- Basically the same as above with a few more features
Gnome- To prove to a friend not all gnomes are crazy and pointless. oh and they fit the crafting idea.
Grippli- I kind of want to make a frog warrior this might not be the time though
Oread-Working with minerals and ore's seem up this alley
That's about all i got, anyone got anything to inspire me? or some class suggestions those would really help as well cause all i have on that front is ehhh Alchemist could work.
So i have a character idea and plenty of options. basically fire blasty blasty mage.
the thing here is for in character reasons i need a familiar at level 1 fox familiar to be specific.
The character will be a Human with Racial heritage Kitsune, Also for in character reasons.
i'm looking for people to help sort through the various option's maybe some recommendations i may not have thought of .
So as for fluff and backstory so people have something to go off of also the reason why the character needs a familiar.
So you have this guy (I don't have a name for him just yet but he's the familiar) he's part of a family of people who make contracts with familiars and spirit type things.
He ends up being forced to make a contract with a fox kitsune type thing who basically manipulated his whole life to make this contract happen. One thing leads to another and they wind up switching places with one another, She becomes human with trace amounts of fox, and he ends up as a fox familiar.
but yeah the idea is blasty blasty fire mage, maybe a few other tricks that aren't blasts. I think witch or shaman fit the backstory kind of perfectly but am unsure if they can do blasting effectively. push comes to shove i can figure something out with wizard though i don't think that fits her too well. Sorcerer does fit as well but lack of familiar .
So i have an idea and i do know a few things About Racial heritage, but i've never done anything too crazy mostly just did a human that was eerily elfy.
this time my general idea is something along these lines you have this human who was tricked by a fox spirit type Kitsune thing one thing lead to another and they wound up switching places. the spirit became human sort of and the human became a fox familiar.
I want to know first if Racial heritage can allow me to take the oracle curse wrecking mysticism. or do i just get the ability to take the racial feat's?
Second would racial heritage change how a human with it looks? Like look more like the heritage race involved?
So simple question listed above, i checked the d20 psrd before this and it didn't seem have an answer. not really looking for sarcasm or meanness as i've seen can be common from some. just a simple quick answer if there is one.
If there's not or no clear cut answer then i'll assume it's a no.
SO i want so pointers and just options on what people think of this Kobold Hunter Dragon disciple build i'm trying out. I know it's not going to turn out fully optimized or anything but as long as it's good then i'm happy here's what i got so far.
the idea here is honestly a Buff Kobold who is slowly turning into a Dragon. I can use the kobold feat Scaled Disciple to eventually qualify for Dragon disciple, and yes it does increase divine casting, that much is called out in the feat for those who claim there might be confusion.
The idea further for the character is he is a Purple scaled Kobold : unlike most, he is a outcast as most purple scaled Kobolds are. He wields a Great-sword and fights people for the most part directly, he know's his strengths as a Kobold and isn't afraid to fight dirty if needed.
Other than that he is actually pretty honorable, he just doesn't let people make excuses for what is and isn't a weapon or are considered unfair tactics. As long as the fight doesn't drag in innocent's.
As far as other thing's go he is a warrior type of person, strong and fearless.Though he is gruff, and kind of scary hence the lowish Charisma
i have taken to referring to his attempts at intimidation as the angry dad look.
The idea is he is a Melee build using strength, that's the biggest problem. Strength Kobold, though i have taken to the idea and am asking for people to maybe point out better way's to redistribute the stat's or point out thing's i may have missed.
I used the Feral hunter Archetype in combo with Animal focus Bull. at level 1 using a 20 point buy this gets him a 15 strength, impressive by kobold standards. Feral hunter specifically makes it so animal focus has no time limit. making the normal Kobold penalty of -4 basically a -2 in strength.
So i recently found out about the Scaled disciple after remembering dragon disciple was a thing. and well i wanted to make one, thing is i kind of also want to do this idea using the Scaled Disciple. turning a Kobold into kind of a Miniature dragon because i think that would be awesome.
I'm thinking oracle as the base class because well oracle is a class i'm comfortable with. Arguably the most comfortable class for me.
That's honestly about all i got for information on what i want to do, and well i need ideas. the only thing is it has to use Scaled Disciple somehow, Kobold is a way as it is one of there feats on the other hand despite my love for kobolds i know they suck.
Okay so this has a bit of a story to it i was listening to music on the Youtubes...specifically some fan sung versions of Friend like me and Prince Ali from Aladdin...When well an idea hit me,i wanted to make a character sort of vaguely based of what i heard. Why idk i just started really liking the idea. idk the voice and energy inspired me
So what's my idea in a bit more detail well i'm thinking either bard or sorcerer. But anyway so the idea is a lively, maybe a bit cunning Ifrit who pretends to be a Genie. She's charismatic and energetic uses magic to make people believe what she wants. but yea she likes putting on a show and making things flashy.
As for backstory she was adopted by a noble family, but left as she wanted to find out who her actual birth parents are. Yeah i know a bit of a stretch from what the original disney songs are...like i said vague inspiration.
but yea i mainly want opinions on whether or not i should bard or sorcerer.
maybe build ideas i can go with or some ideas. i'm thinking focusing on enchantment magics maybe add some buffing spells. Bard has the advantage of having prebuilt buffing in it, and being pretty good at enchanting, able to wear light armor and a bit of melee. Sorcerer has bloodlines and full casting,
basically he comes from a noble family, he was a necromancer (in secret) who fell in love with a lower class families daughter who happened to be a Dhampir. basically this ends with her asking him if he can find a way to remove the undead from her and make her human, long story short she dies and he ends up getting expelled from the family so they can save face and catches a lot of blame for it.
In this process he gives up the darker aspects of necromancy and tries to use what he learned for good and to try and redeem himself for even taking such a risk. using his research to help people speak to lost love one's, good things like that.
so the idea is to focus on necromancy but not the parts that are classified as evil cause i've given up on using raising the dead in a non-evil manner, it's not a thing people will allow.
other than that i'm looking for class suggestions to follow this concept. my thought so far is he's more mage like and spellcastery...basically i think a debuffing build.
He's kind of quiet and awkward, definitely not a bad person
other than that i really don't have much so ideas are appreciated
So not sure where this belongs as a thread but i have an idea i'm going with but first i need to figure out which stat could best represent Determination, confidence and fighting spirit.
Like ignore the numbers for a moment that wisdom adds to will saves
in flavor of fluff like if a race is more confident and determined i picture charisma not Wisdom. for wisdom i picture old kung fu master or yoda.
So i've decided to make a Eldritch archer Hexcrafter Magus
I know the typical archery feats make you a bullet hose, that concept doesn't really help the eldritch archer who much like the base magus uses the spells to do most of the damage.
side note the hexcrafter part is for a bit of versatility, i hear good things about it.
What feats could apply to do a Single shot archer, to help work with Eldritch archer better. Also any magical feats to increase the damage from spells or something are appreciated as well.
So with the personality and other aspects out of the way i wanted to start with a clean thread to get a build together because after looking at this the build idea of blind swordsman is quite difficult. So i call upon the powers of the forums to help make this a viable build while still maintaining the original idea
Since originally starting this where i started at oracle i have since changed. but anyway the base idea is a character who doesn't need his eyes to fight, he was trained to fighting without sight.
I would like to use the blind fight and blinded blade style of feats to work with this. If you can think of a way to basically enable him to fight someone and not care if they turn invisible.
Half elf so i can grab Katana proficiency unless the class has a way of acquiring it in which case it is up for change. i'm probably going to two hand the Katana.
Class i am considering-These aren't set just my personal ideas
Fighter
Ranger
both because i imagine well feats will be needed for this build a lot of them
I would like emphasis on the wisdom/ he see's everything aspect.
As far as the character goes i won't be dropping any stats, as i suffer from NAA (negative attribute aversion). A few leftover things to throw out there, the character isn't really blind just when he get's serious (he normally isn't, he's more of a show off/party boy) he closes his eye's and focuses. basically the idea is he isn't dependent on his eyes.
Classes: Any Paizo Material is legal, I use the SRD so i have access to it, And the Dreamscarred Press SoulKnife. NO 3rd party classes other than that. Use unchained Summoner instead of the Base summoner. Other unchained classes allowed as well.
Races:Core, Uncommon, and Featured races allowed. 3rd party races will be handled on case to case.
Stat rolls: Roll 1 set of 3d6 in order, another of 4D6 drop lowest, If you get nothing you like from either feel free to use 20 point buy.
Traits: 2 traits, No drawback. I expect traits to fit the character and will be reviewing to make sure they do.
Alignment restrictions: NO Chaotic Evil, Neutral Evil, or Lawful Evil. Chaotic Neutral are only allowed with good enough reasoning
Hit points: Max at first level, We will roll for the other levels
Starting gold: Level 3 wealth by level
Fire arms Emerging
we are using Automatic bonus progression and Background skills
Alchemist extracts count for creation feats
If you have questions ask please i'm sure i've forgotten some things
What we Need
We need someone who is enthusiastic and is in for the long haul. someone who can post at a minimum of 1/day during most of the week and weekend. like any group we have our slow days.
So mechanically the group needs something along the lines of either a rogue'y type, or healer, debuffer and or buffer, maybe a party face in terms of skills, like seriously our party lacks a lot of skills . Right now damage isn't really an issue. of course the best way to get yourself picked is to have good backstory and character.
the team is an invulnerable rager Lizardfolk barbarian, A half elf archer/Sorcerer, and an evocation focused wizard
Current pc's do not read, recruits this is required reading:
So here's the situation guys, the pc's lost someone mid quest, luckily for all of us i have an easy way to bring someone in.
So the group along with a guide has gone to rescue a rebel Kobold named Nighttail along with a group of humanoids from a tribe of Kobolds who has taken them for enslavement purposes.
Before the pc's could arrive Nighttail managed to basically unleash a bunch of lizard eating Fungi and lead the villagers out to a safer area...that safer area being in the middle of a prehistoric jungle filled with dinosaurs.
You are one of those Villagers, you don't have to be from the same village you could have just been a passerby who got caught in the middle. either way your backstory is your own so long as you somehow wind up with this group.
