![]() That also wasnt the question. I solo'd it for 3 rounds before my party got there and helped me kill it. I did total like...35 damage (i crit twice) My DM's Problem was that i could deflect one of his attacks every round. His +12 had a decent chance oh hit, which i could just negate, while his +7 didnt really have much of one. ![]()
![]() Alright so as a player i just did a game where i played a monk of many styles and a lore warden. My stats were as followed 25 Point buy with a +2dex and +2INT (homebrew race) monk 2 / Fighter 2 10 STR
My feats were level 1 - Dodge
Anyways, The monk of many styles archetype says that you can take any style feat, even if you dont meet the prereqs, and the next feat as well at level 2 if you want to. so my round went like this +1 scimitar +6 1d6+5
Thoughts? ![]()
![]() Hey all so im playing an Arcane Sorc in a homebrew game. We are currently level 15 and i've just come across a large sum of gold and was thinking of getting the Robes of Arcane Heritage. Doing so would put my effective level to 19, which grants me the 17th level bonus. would i have to take that power RIGHT then and more or less waste it on lower then 8th level spells? what if i took the robe off, would those spells be "gone" from my memory? Also The 20th level power says that you can expend 3 spell slots to use any item that relies on charges without using one. What all does that entail? Just wands and staves? Would an item such as bracers with shield 1/day be unusable with this power? what about a Rod of Metamagic, as they have 3 charges per day? Its abit confusing for me for some reason, and any help would be appreciated. Thanks Woops didnt mean to post this in Advice! sorry! ![]()
![]() This build can be quite good later in levels (once you get balance) as it bumps up your attacks by +2. I'm playing the exact same thing in a homebrew game right now. here are his attack and damage. +24/24/19/19/14/14+19 +1d10+6 (TWR) (at 18 STR) (my GM doesn't allow +1 type weapons so thats without them)
![]()
![]() Im confused on how to read it, any help would be nice. Does it cause death? does it last til death? does it only last for one round doing 1CON? Green Poison (Frequency 1/rd. for 6 rd.; Init. effect death; Sec. effect 1 Con/rd.; Cure 2 consecutive Fort saves)* Green prismatic poison spell varies — 1/rd. for 6 rds. Death/1 Con 2 saves — ![]()
![]() Well currently if we need a bunch of help we have the Summoners pet, or his summon monsters, the druid also does a lot of summoning. So if we need front liners we can get them in bulk more or less.
![]()
![]() The reason im not playing a Full BAB front liner is that im currently playing one and dislike it. being a front liner in this game is way to hard, as getting AC items is next to impossible (+1 Ac Vs melee ONLY is 10k). Getting good weapons is also far and beyond book price (i have what would be considered +2 swords at level 14) . The DM also thinks my damage is too high (its like 130-150 on a full attack) so he adjust monster HP by about 400%. Overall its not worth playing it anymore, as i can only last 2 rounds in combat, if that, and die A LOT ![]()
![]() I was thinking of focusing on Spell focus and Metamagic for my feats as most everything in the homebrew game that boost stats is ungodly expensive (think 50k for a +1 item). Is getting a lot of feats like that worthwhile or a waste? What do you think are good bloodlines for a sorc? What about good domains for a Cleric that focuses on debuffs? ![]()
![]() Hey guys I'm currently playing in a homebrew game with 4 others. We are currently level 14 and i was hoping you guys could help me think of some good ideas for a character. We currently have in the party a: Ranger, Support Druid (focuses on heals and buffs), Summoner, and a Witch (she isn't build very well right now). I was thinking of making a Blaster Sorc/wizard, A Cleric that focuses on debuffs, or an oracle. Thoughts on feats/spells for them? Assume 16's in all stats besides one, which can be anywhere from 18 to 22.
Books are CRB, APG, and UM, thats it ![]()
![]() Well, you kinda just made a really really powerful Rage Prophet. The last abilities of your dedication of cause are WAAAAY to good for a possible 13th level character to have. I'd consider toning those down somehow, as you just gave more or less a super-feat to the WAR domain (improved crit with every weapon). Also the balance of power for each domain type ability is REALLY big. Why would you ever take LUCK over WAR? the 8th level abilities are waaaaay too different in terms of power. Overall this class is far and beyond the power of normal advanced classes. Also the "Rage casting" is far too good, as normally you need moment of clarity to even use ANY spell as a Rage Prophet. Overall you need to tone down MUCH of this class to have it be in line with other classes. Also i'd consider changing the requirements as this class can ONLY be used by if you have a 4th level of a class to get (raging VIT). Also you need to change the BAB/HD. d10's use FULL BAB, d8's use 3/4ths ![]()
![]() 5 CR1 mobs at level one will KILL your party!

In theory you should be getting 5+Dex+Wis+Cha+8d6 of damage every round, though you lose Cha if you take the gofirst route. I'd recommend using Deadly Aim and Rapid Shot every chance you got, it's not like their AC will be anything to talk about. At best they will have a 16, you will have at worst a 14 BAB, so 19 before you even add dex. He said his character is a cleric... ![]()

![]() The awake towns people attacked because they were more or less attacked themselves and no one got away. The towns first reaction to the party wasn't to attack wholesale without giving them a chance. Unless the sleeping people awoke, saw what was going on and decided to just go back to sleep there wasn't much reason for the sleeping people to attack them right away ![]()
![]() Im the gm in the game. The party didnt know anything about werewolves, and the townsfolk were going to let them leave but one of the pcs kinda found out there secert nor wheb they were surronded did the barb put away her weapon as asked. One of the townsmen whispered to their leader that they should attack the pcs. Before the converation was even done or decided the wizard cast a spell which then the people rushed them ![]()
![]() he didnt get a chance to kill them as i told him that it would be an evil act to do so (though i told him if he wants to he can, i have no problems with it). he was going tostab them, cut their throat, that kinda thing while they were still asleep. Anyways, The village they were in was pretty much warded to keep all werewolves/tigers inside of it. so there was no chance of them escaping to the PC's knowledge. ![]()
![]() So last night in my homebrew game my PC's encountered a town full of werewolves. long story short only half the town attacked them while the other half has asleep in there beds. The Rogue decided that since all the other townspeople have attacked them (in human form) that killing them while they are asleep is perfectly fine and not evil at all. My question is, is killing people that MIGHT attack you while they are asleep and helpless evil? ![]()
![]() So I recently had a discussion about magic items and sundering with a player of mine. He said that per the rules you can only sunder peoples shields, weapons and armor. Saying that if he had Glasses of Arcane sight that they cannot be destroyed at all. Was just wondering if this is true or can they in fact be sundered? ![]()
![]() They aren't going in unprepared to what they are facing, the whole quest line involves telekinesis type stuff. The room they go into will have ample cover and the minons will be around CR 4. Of course im not going to just insta gank a caster with 15 greatswords round one. The party does have casters, and darkness isn't a hard spell to cast to give them all a 20% dodge chance. or a fog spell inbetween the casters and them to give them no chance of being hit. I know this challenge is impossible in a open field at level 8, but the set up of the room will lower it by 2 or 3 if they play with even a tiny bit of tactics. if they play it smart it shouldnt be too hard (moving from cover to cover, using a longbow would outrange their 5TH level spell.) ![]()
![]() how is it cheese? im using the spell as its written to do something it clearly says you can do. The Pc's might be higher level then 8, thats just what they are currently, and these people are part of a quest that can be done now, or in 2-12 levels from now. it might be less then 3 wizards, i was just brainstorming but mainly asking if it was legal. ![]()
![]() if the whole "its going to put a hole in the bag" thing is such a concern, they each have a cover and instead of 16 they raise 15 and take their covers off as part of the action. No one answered my question by the way.

![]() Hey all, I'm starting my own homebrew game next week and had a fun idea of some casters they could fight. it would be 3 level 10 wizards (transmutation school) plus their minons.
Anyways, i was wondering if its legal if at the start of the combat if the wizards all unloaded 20 large sized greatswords each from bags of holding. Then use Telekinesis on their turn to thrust 16 (the limit from their CL) of them at the PCS. with a +5 BAB and +4 INT, thats a +9 to hit. each greatsword would do 3d6 damage, so if say the fighter just charged the wizards they would all use it on her doing a total of...144d6 damage if they hit. My question is, is this legal per RAW? ![]()
![]() Hey all i have a question. Say I have a character that is a Druid that really wants to protect the forest and is part of a guild that does so. She comes across a loging group that is clearing a section of the forest for a Noble that wants to put his summer home there. She talks to the loggers and tries to get them to leave, they say no - go talk to the lord. The lord says no and wont budge (say a failed Diplomacy check or an impossibly high one). The character would then as a last resort assassinate the lord to protect the forest. Would she be considered Evil because she assassinated him even though she tried every other diplomatic way to try to solve it? ![]()

![]() Wow my friend and i were talking about just this thing tonight. In his campaign i'm a paladin with oath of undeath. well he was saying that if he puts a lawful good undead in front of me that doesn't want to be brought back to life as he serves humanity better in his immortal body, that i'd have to choose between either killing him because he is undead and losing my paladin levels, or walk away from him and break my oath and loose my oath abilities. is there any room in the oaths? or in that situation would i HAVE to choose between the lesser of two gimping things for my character? ![]()
![]() Hey all my friends and i are just starting a new custom campaign. I decided to try out the Magus as it seemed interesting and was hoping you all could give me some advice on how to build him. i can still go into any archtype that i want to right now, and was thinking blackblade.
Using a scimitar
My stats are pretty spread out as my party consist of a Caster Druid, a Caster oracle, a Wizard and myself. so i have to be the front liner/melee/tank, though the oracle helps some. Getting spells is no problem really as the wizard and i share our spells in our spell books.
![]()
![]() Hey guys i was hoping you could brainstorm some stuff for me for the new campaign im in. right now im a Sorc5/Dragon 1.
