yay skittermanders, etc. "inactive" arms are no longer inexplicably paralyzed. At least partially

Hella excited for war of the immortals both the stories and mechanically but assuming mythic doesn't break the system entirely like in 1e I hope Paizo remembers Kineticists exist since some of the stuff really feels like its messing with their thing (such as the lifting an ocean part)

They regularly got screwed in 1e since their blasts aren't considered spells or weapons so ALOT of stuff didn't apply.

dissapointed halflings didn't get a real name for their race like half-orc and half-elf but 2/3 ain't bad :D

I don't really have much to contribute other than that this concept is awesome and I am jealous of its creativity! :P

I can't take all the credit the DM and the other players helped me along :D (Free archetype also helps alot for wacky builds like this)

Thanks though, I appreciate the compliment :D

Needs a friend with a flying drone named "Top Rope"

:D

I could buy one of these, he can film my exploits :)

Assuming I fail encourage someone to play a mech w/ a flying drone or vehicle :P

Hey all, my home group is finishing up Devastation Ark which we started w/ the same characters we finished Fly Free or Die with. Next up is going to be Horizons of the Vast (Space Kingmaker on unexplored world) and I'll be playing a Neurochemist Biohacker1/Medic Empath Mystic11.

I REALLY like the idea of playing a sentient swarm but bugs freak me out so my DM is letting me have it made out of something else, off the top of my head i was thinking birds since i was going to have my characters voice be melodic like a choir in perfect harmony, but at normal human "inside voice" volume. My other thought was a variety of plants.

That said I'd like to hear some suggestions of what might be interesting but not too bug like (butterflies included :P)

Oh if it matters were going with Xenni-labs and i'm a sort of scientist/doctor and only the fluff is changing nothing mechanically. Here's the race: (each creature in the swarm fits roughly in a 1 inch cube)

https://aonsrd.com/Races.aspx?ItemName=Spathinae

I don't think the group is interested in another system 2A (weakening the gods) is how i plan to start the campaign off.

oh and theres minor rumblings amongst the group aabout possible do a kind of kingmaker: rahadoum

Rahadoum has a bizarre culture, even by Golarian standards. They have ample reasons to mistrust and avoid divine worship, but healing injuries, curing diseases, and defending themselves from evil outsiders (like the divs, who enjoy stilling up trouble throughout northern Garund) all become more difficult as a result.

For an interesting look into the Rahadoum mindset, I would recommend James Sutter's novel Death's Heretic and its sequel, The Redemption Engine. Neither is set in Rahadoum, but the main character is a former Pure Legionnaire who has gotten tangled up in conflicts between the gods thanks to a moment of crisis in his past.

Oooo thanks i'll check those out i also found a short blog post that involves rahadoum not sure if its canon though.

https://paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo6sh2g?Tales-of-Lost-Omens-Question ing-Nature#29

There's not too much info about rahadoum and the only two modules i found (Port Godless & Heresy of Man) seem anti-rahadoum, what I do know is:

- Religions/Gods/Worship is straight up illegal caused by a massive religious war roughly 2000 years ago

- Despite the above a small amount of people still worship in secret

- Slavery is legal (planning to nix this since were currently playing hells vengeance and i'd rather not have that theme repeated)

- Outsiders/Dieities tend to use rahadoum as a "neutral ground" often causing issues such as having invisible fights

- Governed by the "Laws of Morality" but beyond "No gods" none of these laws have been stated by paizo

- Pirates from the shackles cause troubles alot especially with shipping goods south

- Shipping goods north is also an issue due to cheliax and their control of aroden's arch

- it's a haven for scientists, philosophers and other intellectuals

All that said my starting "hook" for the campaign will be something along the lines hunting down some secret religious sects and eventually meeting an outsider who tried to find a diety to follow but looked to closely and found out that regardless of alignment the gods of golarion are all pretty ****ed up (ie. Erastil punishes people by turning them into animals to be slaughtered, Cayden is a stalker, etc. etc.) so fled to rahadoum as the only place free of religion (as far as i know), eventually leading to the party trying to spread ragadoums way of doing things, possibly even running the dieties out of golarion (one idea is gaining control of the astral plane to prevent travel between the outer and material relam)

Note: This campaign won't be canon even for my home game its just a little fun for my players and a campaign type ive always wanted to play or DM so I don't mind bending the lore (ie. exaggerating the dieties faults)

So yeah anyone ever done or have any ideas/suggestions a misothiest/god killer campaign have any ideas (please don't reply if all your going to say is "gods can't be killed. etc.")

ummm...is there any way to buy this my google-fu is failing me and it says unavailable here i can only find "ultimate relationships" I've just started book 5 of Hell's Vengeance and the group would like to do Jade REgent but are afraid of the terri-bad caravan system and this seems like a really cool idea and possibly a replacemet (i still dont fully understand)

OK so first off thanks for all the help so far I've got alot to check out here's what im looking at for reference so far including stuff from reddit and giants in the playground (none of this will be "the setting" just stuff to pull ideas from)...btw any suggestions for other forums to ask for assistance at?

- Various thoughts on how to break a utopia that aren't linked to any specific setting (ie. metricsystems post)

- Star Trek, lots of of star trek :D

- The Historical Blog mentioned by AVR

- Suggestion of having the <undecided powerful being and/or artifact> be damaged or lost resulting in outside interference coming through a weakened barrier and/or have things inside the Utopia(s) start to malfuction (ie. if utopia was achieved through robots or mass produced magic items getting alot of Ebberon vibes here)

- The Tippyverse (basically a setting based on hey teleportation magic is a thing why doesn't anyone really use it and how that would affect a world, teleportation would likely be absent or extremely limited in the setting im planning since it would make no sense that things would still be isolated, boats too but its still a helpful look into how magic can f$++ things up economically and socially)

https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?222007-The-Definitive-Guide-to-t he-Tippyverse-By-Emperor-Tippy

At the very least im going to watch the episode can i get the season/episode #?

Hmmm....I'm liking where your going, might be fun to have the various Utopias be based off of the characters since its a homebrew campaign and the villain(s) could be the catalyst(s) of collapse (ie. a druidic order arigin in a "Meatatarian" utopia). The actual characters wouldn't be like gods of each land but citizens of each land that they would see as utopias, if i still want to include dieties running or at least supporting each utopia i could maybe utilize mythic rules (or a similar system) to represent them being chosen as champions of those dieties. Thinking most of the dieties power is locked into keeping the utopias in check but they can grant a small amount to assist their champion in whiping out interlopers or w/e

So I've been running this idea through my head for quite a long time a world or universe (the former being more Pathfinder the latter more Starfinder) that is a perfect utopia with each nation or planet being the best version of various types of governments/societies Democracy, Socialist Communism, Theocratic, etc. (one i thought could be fun is a dwarven nation during something similar to the industrial revolution except w/o people dying in coal mines) but something causes the perfect balance to break or is about to break and the actual campaign is with the initial hook of fixing/keeping the balance from breaking. One idea i have it relied on powerful individuals or groups (either like high levels spellcasters or even deity level powers) to keep it from imploding and their dying or there's assassination plots something like that.

TBH Starfinder is my preference but my players aren't big fans of doing sci-fi campaigns (ive been trying to get them to let me DM or play iron gods, starfinder and/or star wars forever) so it would be a hard sell, so the planets might have to be isolated islands, which is another idea i had for how the utopias might collapse, the reverse of pangea, the islands have been slowly moving together and the ideologies literally smashing into one another would be catastrophic, still doesn't mean a diety wasn't involved, steering people away from inventing sea or space travel for example but maybe the deity(s) finally died or is dying after billions of years or something...maybe pulls one champion from each society to solve it i dunno,maybe each society has its own deity w/ it own champion, maybe one of said deities went rogue and wants to take all the islands/planets from the others i dunno there's alot of competing ideas in my head)

I'd very grateful for any suggestions on how to create several different utopias and how to destroy them i could also use some help with government styles but to be clear this is NOT a debate about real life politics just what would the best version of each government/society would look like (ie. Socialist Commune = non-sentient robots do all the "grunt work" allowing the sentient creatures to do whatever they want whether its art, invention, get high and watch netflix, etc.)

So uh yeah that's pretty much it. Hopefully I don't sound too nuts/ambitious :P

Mebbe Genshau's the one ye seek?

PS. didn't know the name off the top of my head [plus a prior hard-drive crash that took out most of my already downloaded pdfs didn't help], so thanks, avr, for the AON deity link. ;)

Yes it's totally Ghenshau Thanks :D (it was a good day to halp :p)

Ghenshau once strove to understand every aspect of creation and to create perfect order and goodness. As the empyreal lord added more and more elements to his world equation, however, he realized that his efforts were futile. Ghenshau abandoned his work and instead learned to appreciate the elements of peace and tranquility that come with acceptance.

At first glance, Ghenshau could be mistaken for a Tian peasant boy, often wearing a hat of woven rushes and simple linen clothes. The hat shelters his beautiful face and his level, serene gaze. His clothes bear elegantly embroidered trim depicting fantastic birds, foo creatures, and runes. He carries a pipe in his hand and a workman’s axe tucked into his rope belt.

The pastoral fields and beaten trails of Heaven are home to Ghenshau, but he can be found sleeping on the banks of rivers or daydreaming in a wooded thicket as often as he is met on the road, where he’s always ready to stop and share tales with a stranger over a drink and a smoke.

Not exactly how I remember it but pretty close (mainly misremembered what he gave up on)

So yeah pretty much the title. (I apologize in advance I suck at making ads :P)

I'm just coming off a 2 year Pathfinder campaign DM'd and written by myself and for fun were messing around with a couple other systems, currently Star Wars Saga Edition Dawn of Defiance but requests for Burning Wheel & Wild Talents have come up but we will likely go back to Pathfinder unless something sticks.

Unfortunately I've lost several players who had to move to go to College or University so I'm down to 2 Regulars (as well as myself) and a handful of occasionals (although I should get 1 regular back in 2 months) So were just looking to fill out the ranks again (I prefer a group of 4-6)

We play nearly every friday night from 4:30pm - 9pmish (I work nights so don't wake until around 4pm) at two locations, my modest apartment in south burlington and my friends house in North Burlington.

I have personally been playing on and off since I was in High School (and late elementary) but have only been GMing for a few years. I am currently 28 (which btw I prefer 18+), I tend to play a little fast and loose with the rules especially if the group agrees something is nonsensical or if a slight tweak will allow a player to be more satisfied with their character (w/o breaking the game)

Anyways if you'd like more information please feel free to email me at vampmaster86@hotmail.com (I REALLY need to change that :P)

Note: Open to suggestion on how to write this better feel free to PM me

So uh yeah long story short the DM has basically said in his world "adventurer" has not been a common profession in a while, think Pixar's "The incredibles" so all our characters need to stat the game with a "normal job" (ie. Baker, Blacksmith, Butcher, etc.)

Anyways as I'm insane and can't just choose something boring I've worked with the DM to have Lawyers (w/ a splash of peacekeeper and Private Eye) make sense within the context of his world.

So problem is I have no idea how to go about this but I have a couple things

1. At least my first level has to relate to profession (As per DM rule)
2. I want to try out the new Hybrid classes
3. I want to have Decent Int/Wis/Cha preferably with one of them being my main stat.
4. Need "party face skills", Profession: Law and Several knowledge skills

So this led me to the following list

A Divine class worshipping a God with the Law Domain (and preferably community and/or freedom) if possible a Lawful Neutral God.

So: Paladin, War Priest, Oracle, Cleric, Inquisitor

Other classes that fit the archetype are:

Investigator - Leans a bit more to the PI side but still fits the Lawyer sde of things

Magus - The class itself doesn't firt the bill but in my mind a Bladebound Kensai w/ a Sword Cane makes me think of Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock...slightly insane a bit pompous, incredibly obsessed (kensai) but brilliant and a master in his chosen field (ie. Lawyer/PI)

All that said my current ideas are as follows

Plain Magus: Magus is a good class, I've always wanted to try it in a game so would be fun but I don't get to play with the need hybrid classes

Magus/Warpriest: Fits the archetype near perfectly imo and I get to worship a divine god not quite sure how well these classes would actually mesh.

Warpriest/Monk: Wisdom Primary (Guided Amulet of Mighty Fists FTW), Cha/Int secondary possibly w/ 2 Paladin (ie. WP16/P2/M2)could use any weird weapon due to WP weapon damage die progression....the kursigama would be fun.

Plain Investigator: Divine - Check, Hybrid - Check, Skills - Check, Theme - Check...it's a very strong contender that I actually just noticed so I'll have to look through it...cursory glance seems interesting but it might be a bit too weak. My first thought is to make some weird Dwarven improvised weapons user but thats mostly because I've been trying to work that particular character into a game for a long while.

Anyways I know this first post is a bit nebulous but I'd like to see what people think (and do a little more research on investigator) before making an actual build

P.S. No 3.5 material but we have access to most PF material (we only have about a dozen books but I can pick up another one if neccessary)

Aside from some formatting issues this guide is pretty awesome especially with having several example builds.

One thing I can't agree with is your disdain for Sacred weapon...the scaling damage die alone makes low damage specialty weapons like whips WAY more effective or if someone wants to use an underpowered/flavour weapon.

Personally I think a Kusarigama wielding WP could be quite effective if you work in the Tripping line (or grapple or disarm)especially since your not screwed if the enemy gets adjacent to you.

So last session my players were suddenly turned into kobolds and whilst it was only meant as a temporary thing they seemed to really enjoy it so I was thinking of just messing around for a session with them as low level kobolds (thinking 5-6 but I'm flexible)

Now normally I'd just let them do it but I want to surprise them so I need some help making some fun Kobold PCs for them to play which will be randomly assigned (using dice of course)

I mostly just need some fun names and possibly work out a short back story for each but I'm open to suggestion for build changes (note: I'll add equipment later...likely just basic equipment)

Anyways here's what I've come up with

This one is fairly simple he's just a Arcanically gifted Kobold who worships his Draconic ancestors and will do pretty much anything to get as close as possible to them.

This one started out as a bard and I wanted to add a whip to the build but it just didn't work so I switched to a magus too keep the "arcane tactics fighter" feel but adding the bladebound archetype just set off my crazy nerve and I thought it would be hilarious if this kobolds whip was imbued with the soul of indianna jones and frankly the kobold is barely conscious with the whip controlling him the majority of the time. Looking for a good name for the whip that subtle hints at it being indie w/o being obvious
