I swear. What is UP with gothic horror ghosts and haunting paintings of themselves? Isn't that RIGHT haunted painting of my great great uncle Ebenezer? Ebenezer's Painting: Did you kill the OTHERS? ...I SHANT! Ebenezer's Painting: YOU MUST!!!
This is where I really wish the forums would let me insert a GIF of evil laughter as I watch the theories unfold. Never. Trust. A. Fiend. I swear I'm going to have that tattooed under the eyelids of everyone on Golarion.
Wait, Vulkarisu? What the heck happened to the Kitsune? o_o
Hear me out, your thralls are a bunch of ghostly severed heads you carry around in a big sack over your shoulder. If you also have the Headless Haunt feat, especially if you're starting at a level to begin with it, you could also swap between "wearing" them and not actually be sure which one is you. The only issue I could see is most people would be repulsed or outright terrified by you.
I've just started talking about it with my group, so far they're leaning toward a dwarf fighter, elf wizard, and a human cleric. If our 4th goes halfling rogue I might shed a tear. Halflings do make really decent Rogues and Rogues are exceptionally helpful at times (especially in disabling booby traps).
I'm honestly craving some more Dhampir racial feats to be honest. There are some many possibilities with the various bloodlines.
True, friend. The players on this roster are the ones who believe the most. Colossal is the right word though. Is this a good time for a shakeup? When Gorum died it rained blood and pieces of the God of War all over the Multiverse and caused war to break out EVERYWHERE! Also we've been given prophecies of just what horrific events would occur if any other deities perished. So I can only IMAGINE what would occur is a God came back to LIFE! Specially with the Hellfire Crisis either still raging or having ended with massive changes to Avistan's map.
Just stopping by to say that the art for the characters looks absolutely fantastic, I'm totally in love. Very Darkest Dungeon, but they have a kind of Elric or Red Sonja look as well. Erik seriously did an amazing job. I HEARD RED SONJA! DID SOMEBODY MENTION RED SONJA? Gods I would LOVE to see the return of the Sword-Devil archetype!
And here I thought Aroden was truly very Very DEAD. If he returns to Golarion it will be a colossal shakeup for the AGES! Kingdoms, continents, and even other Gods would probably be all affected!
The carrion angel was not inspired by the angel of rot, but instead by the basic idea of a fallen angel but with undeath as the theme instead of fiend. It's not all that unusual an idea, undead angels (or undead demons, for that matter). They pop up now and then. Wow, Celestials and Fiends can become undead? I wonder if other beings of the Multiverse can as well? I would love to see some Necromentals! Heh! ^^
Anyone wanna share the base states and a short of couple of lines of lore for each of the party members that make up their adventuring groups which they want to use to take on the dreaded Bastion of Blasphemies? ^^
Is it possible to build a Necromancer who can summon spectral minions that are partially incorporal?
So, I'm trying to build a PC that's similar to Elsa Bloodstone from Marvel Rivals (aka a female human who hunts monsters that stalk the night with rifles and handguns enchanted to kill foes like fiends, undead, etc etc). My question is, what kind of class build or mixature of class and archetypes should I use? Any suggestions would be helpful.
Keren and Zae return, this time deep in the swamps of the River Kingdoms in search of a lost relic of the Knights of Ozem. Will they survive the deadly swamps? Shall they encounter and slay the dreaded Froghemoth? Will Zae ever stop tormenting her beloved with terrible PUNS? TUNE IN THIS WEEK FOR SWAMPSONG (presented by veteran Pathfinder Tales novelist Gabrielle Harbowy)!
Letting his village come back with their demonic part in control might be just the thing. Or slaughtering another entirely different village full of people in return for bringing his village back. And even if Usharak does it, I'd imagine the people of his village would be twisted demonically somehow after being brought back. Never trust a Fiend with a deal.
What if it's more than a librarian waiting there? Considering Usharak has already run into several demons that wouldn't surprise me. Whatever our iconic Necromancer tries to bargin with, I doubt it's going to be willing to let him walk away with just his own soul forfit.
Something tells me Usharak is going to be disappointed by the demands of whatever demonic librarian controls that library. Demons are never interested in selfless sacrifice, they desire the destruction of the innocent, the good, and the pure. Whatever this librarian is going to ask for in return, it's not going to be just Usharak's soul in return.
I do like a fish out of water character, a four thousand year old fisherman/hermit researcher from eastern Garund probably has some faulty ideas about the modern state of the world! Holy CRAP! I just realized...he IS four thousand years old at least! I think Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier said it best in Days of Future Past: "You and I have a LOT of catching up to DO!"
An...INTERESTING decision to make the Runesmith class iconic a sentient construct. In a way there's a certain amount of irony in it. (get it? IRONy? Smith? Eh? EH?) I mean, Runesmithing is basically using magic to empower objects and Pallemi is literally a magical construct infused with the sentient soul of a person.
Fun fact everyone, when you see an emaciated, gaunt as heck, evil as all 9 circles of Hell grinning, pale eyed, Garundi woman who hands could be considered claws...FIREBALL...literally FIREBALL!
Dispater's Devil Servant: ...what was THAT all about?That's what I want to know! XD The ways and methods of Il'setsya Wyrmtouched are both mysterious and chaotic baby! ^^
I was hoping Nyctessa would get to shine as the iconic, especially after Wake the Dead, but I do like Usharak and his story. He's a refreshing take on a necromancer, and it works well with how integrated it is into iruxi traditional practices. Nyctessa is the Dhampir necromancer iconic correct? Honestly she didn't appeal to me whatsover sadly. I wonder if we'll get a new Dhampir iconic one of these days?
And to your point, I'm also a big fan of the idea of a more "virtuous" take on Necromancy, though of course it can exist along with the more archetypal "Obviously Evil D00D" too. As always, magic, like any power in Pathfinder's setting, can be used for good or for evil. It can be used to protect and save or to destroy and defile. The choice is ultimately the bearer's.
They can also be motivators for wanting to live on and protect others. Seelah had a lot of regret stealing that helm (so much so that she offered her life to give the wearer of that helm justice in death) but her regret and guilt proved her humanity and became her salvation.
I can definately sympathize when it comes to Usharak's story. Fighting a destiny he never wanted with all that he had and by the time he was tired of the fight and accepting of his fate it was far far too late. :( To quote a certain skeletal pirate musician in a hit anime, "Dogs and queens...toads and kings...WE'RE ALL BONES WHEN WE DIIIIEEEE!!!" Also I really like the new take on the Necromancer class being not so much a mastermind creator of legions of vile undead but instead a communion between life and death and being able to call upon the etheral ectoplasmic spirits of their ancestors to defend the ones they love.
Does the Multiplatform Luminary feat allow for the selection of another Platform for the Luminary class? If so, is it possible to combine uses of both Platform's? Would it make more sense for the Luminary class to already give access to another Platform at higher levels and then depending on what Platforms you choose you can access higher level Feats and Focused Spells that can only be accessed via two specific Platforms?
Every loyal Hellknight in a hundred mile radius of your approximate location, recieving a simultaneous Sending: "Find these infidels wherever they hide and -- oh, Prince of Darkness, it's everywhere! Scrub harder you peasants! -- kill them with extreme prejudice, whatever it takes!" LOL! Thank you, that was truly funny. Heh.
I'm still working on the concept but she's a female human for starters! She's less Lounge singer though and more Lady Gaga! She dresses up in outrageous and sexy outfits with plenty of fluffy feathers and boas and sings hit singles while dancing on stage! While performing for the adoring crowds is what she's known for she has been secretly gathering funds and resources in order to aid and one day possibly lead a resistance movement to liberate her world of Aeolus (which is occupied by the Azlanti Star Empire)! ;)
So our PC's where tracking a Blood Hag and her coven of vile sisters in the mountains of Cheliax to free a Changeling woman (and hopefully future ally) of "the Call". During this a PC in our group MAY have come across a Ring with one Wish left on it in the Hag's treasure horde. She then MAY have ACCIDENTIALLY wished while drunk for Queen Abrogail Thrune II of Cheliax to be covered in slimes and oozes while she slept in her royal bed chambers. Sooo...yeahhh...we're being hunted by lots of assassins now. Hahahahahaha...o_o
This gave me a chuckle this morning, Berselius ^_^ Your welcome! I just wish we could make this into cannon lore. Sadly I realize Il'setsya is way to random and chaotic to make pranking the Lord of the Second Circle of Hell a constant thing.
At this point Dispater shouldn't be surprised. Heh.
Finally! I can finally play my feather boa draped songstress/dancer celebrity who moonlights as a resistance leader against the Azlanti Star Empire! Thank you Paizo! You have no idea how happy this makes me! ^^
(Dispater is enjoying his devilously luxurious sulfur bath when the doors to his personal bathroom are flung open in the dreaded Town of Iron which lays at the absolute center the hellish infernal city of Dis) (Dispater quickly rises from his bath in a burning hot rage) Dispater: WHO DARES? Il'setsya Wyrmtouched (holding a giant rune covered cannon over her shoulder): DISPATER!!! Dispater: oh nooo... Il'setsya: EAT PIEEEEE! (cream pie launches out of the cannon and lands right in Dispater's horrified face) (Il'setsya proceeds to throw the cannon away and stroll away humming the Gargoyles theme) Dispater's Devil Servant: ...what was THAT all about? Dispater: ...I'm still trying to figure that out... Devil Servant (tasting the cream): Mmmmm...BANANA CCCRRREAAAAAAMMMM!
Infusing machines with arcane and divine magic might not be unknown in Pathfinder but has anyone thought of what the consequences would be of a nation of power hungry people slowly draining arcane/divine beings (or perhaps even people like Sorcerers) of their magical potential in order to infuse that power into war machines? It'd make for a pretty interested campaign/adventure path I feel.
This is probably a lost cause but I'd love to see the Drow rebranded as Cave Elves with new juicy lore and some new settlments in the Darklands. Would also love to see settlements and lore of the vile urdefhans, the dour hryngars, and others.
So, I'm quite a bit out of the loop so if someone can clue me in by answering the folllowing question I'd appreciate it immensely: Who won the Hellfire Crisis? Did Andoran lose to Cheliax's devilry? Or did Cheliax finally finally face the wrath of a nation that loves freedom?
I completely understand AND empathize that staff at Paizo need to be able to afford their bread and butter too like the rest of us. I'm just hoping this increase isn't the straw that breaks the camel's back cause holy HELL that camel is holdin up a LOT for us in the USA right now. :(
Sooo...Paizo just increased it's prices for it's PDF's. Personally I'm a tiny bit upset as I'm in a cost of living crisis like most of the USA and I can't really afford those prices. How does everyone else feel about this?
We're finally going to Bastardhall, and in the same year we're finally getting a new Castlevania game? Pinch me I'm dreaming. What a horrible night to have a curse! Heh. ;)
Chances of us simultaneously producing simultaneous releases of brand new Adventure Paths in multiple systems are not zero, but they're so close to zero that they might as well be. We might do stuff like we did for Kingmaker and Abomination Vaults again at some point if it makes sense financially and assuming we have the staff to do so responsibly. Wasn't exactly hoping for the possibility of "simultaneous" released adventure paths in multiple systems. More like, maybe one day somewhat down the yellow brick road we could get a 5th edition release of another adventure path if it made sense financially and if Paizo had the staff of course. Thank you very much for giving us an adventure path centered around Bastard Hall though James and Paizo. Looking forward to playing it.
I'm actually wondering if the game series Destiny was ever remade completely or even given a partial remake would working Starfinder (aka via Starfinder's species and classes) be something that could possibly work somehow? Hmmm...
Does anyone know if anyone have converted any Pathfinder specific Celestials to 5th Edition D&D? Just curious.
The Sword-Devil Archetype, a 2e Pathfinder conversion by WordyWarlock:
Would anyone like to see Archetypes for specific Ancestries in 2e Pathfinder if there aren't any already? I honestly wouldn't mind seeing a 2e take on the Dhampir Kinslayer or Elf Treesinger.
I'm eager to chat more about this one, since I wrote it, but at the moment the time is not quite yet right to say more. No worries! Lookin forward to all the juicy details! Heh. We have no plans to make any version for any system other than Pathfinder. Same as for all of our new Adventure Paths have ever been. Hoping that might change one day. I can definately see a good ol'Castlevania style romp in and around Bastardhall full of all things creepy and dark would be insanely popular to players of other tabletop systems (and thus a good money maker for Paizo).
Is Pathfinder Bastion of Blasphemies Adventure Path a Super Adventure / Dungeon like Abomination Vaults? Will it be all in one book? Does Paizo have any plans to make it available on any other tabletop settings like they did with Abomination Vaults?
The Darkness RUE! It's...SO DARK! SO ARCHIVEY! IT's...IT'S OVER TAKING US! HHHHHHHUUUURRRRAAAAGGGGHHHH!
Quick question somewhat related to the original question: Has any Demon Lord stepped up to replace Nocticula as the Demon Queen of Lust and Succubi?
I honestly just wish the statblocks and the whole system of 2E Pathfinder was less complicated. I feel it needs to be simplified a helluva lot more.
I did love the ability of the 1e Winter Witch prestige class to deal cold damage to beings normally immune to it. My renegade Jadwiga Winter Witch really surprised (and enraged) a few Frost Giants as well as a Night Hag with that ability! ^^
