15- Garfaulk Sharpstone

Dwarven Bard with the Gunslinger multiclass archetype. Have made a full breakdown yet, but he inspires, then shoots. He is a pistole, I believe. Or builds towards one anyway.

Tha alls' lookin fairly thorough ter me! Nice work lad!

And if I know anyone who can handle a group that size, it's you lol. Breaking sailing lore down is interesting and makes sense for why, though couldn't navigation just be rolled into survival? They effectively do the same thing, just survival on the seas, though I suppose being in-land would be different. Very cool!

On the 4th round, when they drop to fatigued, do they also drop their animal aspects? Would be odd for, say, a werewolf to turn back to a human every 18 seconds while attacking things, but I'm curious if there's anyhting official in there about it (alas, not home to check. Just wondering)

Starfinder style? Awesome

I hope Doomed increases each time you are healed back from near-death, so that players will be a bit more careful with their characters

That'd be a neat little house rule for hardcore games. Each time you are downed, your doomed condition goes up permanently.

Perhaps with a complicated ritual/quest to bring the doomed level down?

Yeah, I always figured dwarves use axes because they take the same sort of a swing as a pickaxe, and since their muscles are often developed for mining, axes make sense.

So CHA needs to provide a substantial benefit that is not so good that low-CHA characters are just not viable in play and that is personal, so that we don't get the Face surrounded by their low-CHA buddies.

Bonus to number of items usable works.

I was also considering that if the GM has to randomly pick a PC as the target for something bad, low CHA will be picked first.

Kind of CHA equals luck

Or maybe d20+charisma, otherwise one person gets picked on for everything

I get your point Noir, but PF Dwarves are not really known for their culture of doing things the "easy" or "right" way, I mean just take a look at the Boulder Helmet and Headbutt attacks in general.

I for one and glad to see that some NON-Human cultural stuff is getting baked into the new Edition, I always felt that many of the core Races/Ancestries were rather boring and same-y compared to the dozens of distinct and well defined Human Nations and Cultures.

Also, the idea that weapons have to look practical has LONG since passed in that 90% of people I've queried have no idea that a Scythe Weapon actually looks NOTHING like the iconic Scythe a farmer or DEATH carries and when they're corrected I've found they'd prefer to keep their head cannon fixed on the idea of swinging around an L shaped implement that would almost certainly get them killed if they tried wielding it in actual combat.

Ooo, I'm curious, what's a real one look like? Tried looking it up but only found the fantasy ones lol

I would love to have Heavy Armor be able to take more enchantments, or take enchantments easier, or something along those lines, to help it stay competitive with high Dex builds

I would love bloodlines that gave access to multiple spell lists, but with lesser bloodline abilites, while bloodlines thaat give but one spell list have stronger bloodline powers. That would be pretty cool

Garfaulk, I would think with the possible new rules for PF2e, a 20th level fighter would have legendary prof bonus 28, plus Str 24 for a +7... throw in a +5 weapon and you would have a +40 hit.

Ah, you were responding to not using level bonus... my bad, I will still leave this post because +40 is such a wicked number. :)

That i was-and holy crap, +40 to hit sounds amazing O.O 42 if you're using a bow and nothing is in the way

I haven't heard anything, but I sure hope so. Proficiency is more than enough. Just have UTEML at 0-2-4-6-8 and leave it at that. It'd be so clean and nice.

Then a level 20 fighter with a strength of 24 and a +5 weapon in Pathfinder 2 would have a +20 to hit, where as in PF1 the same fighter would have a 31.

if I pre-order, does it charge me now or when the product ships? I havent pre-ordered in a while.

Do cantrips scale?

Well I do hope you added a few character options. There's no ice-based spells until mid-high level. How thers ary least one level 1 cold spell that can scale

The one thing I'd probably change in the playtest writeup is the mention at the end that goblin adventurers typical worship Cayden Cailean.

Speaking of long-term Core options that never show up at my table... <_<

And things that a griefing player could cheerfully abuse.

Ah Cayden Cailean. In Skull and Shackles, one of the PCs had been cursed, so they brought her to the temple the cleric worshipped at. Which was also a bar. Which led me to the npc saying my favorite line so far in an RPG. "So uh, what Ales you?"

Some things might be disruptive-or maybe it's just fun you weren't expecting

Ok, I'll bite. What happened to signature skills?

I'f i not GMing, I'd probably go either Human or Rhyphorian Star Shaman Mystic, might be the first time I give that sort of character a shot.

The offices still closed? Been waiting to hear back on an email I sent on like Friday, didnt realize this was happening till a moment ago. Hope everyone is ok

It took me way too long to realize I wasn't on the Starfinder boards when reading this.

I could definitely see an update happening, ideally in the format of Inner Sea Gods, my favorite work from paizo in general. More information on them is always nice, and if they need any rebalancing at all, this would be the time

The mystery alien reminds me of the 4 armed guys from alien archive 2, The Trox. they have a headpiece like that

Garfailk laughs like a maniac when the explosion goes off, watching as the debris and flames burst out from where he'd rigged the seefour. This was why he was here, away from his home, out in these dangerous lands-to blow stuff up. If only he'd had enough to keep some... though as he daydreams n he notices the walls starting to collapse "Uh lads, perhaps we should get movin..." and with that he runs, following Jolga

if just moving, I have 60ft per round. Running I think I have 100. Still slower than everyone else, but yeah. Running!

Garfaulk sid his best to catch him, but if the elf wanted to hit the ground so badly, who was he to stop him? Pulling the broken ring loose, he dropped it on Ton, hearing him make some sort of sound. "Eh, yer fine. He's fine." Climbing to the top, he makes his way to the structural base of the dish, putting the squishy material in each strategic location. Taking one of them and molding it into a hand,he made it form a rude gesture before pulling out the detonators.

Sticking the metal rods and wires into each, he admires his handiwork, though felt it was missing... something. Taking a bit of gunpowder from his stash, he spreads it around on top of everything, making sure it all had a nice coating of something he knew had so.e kick to it. Satisfied, the dwarf almost slides down the ladder, giving them all a thumbs up. "Charges set-whos ready for tha show? Whaddya mean, Jolga? It's just a ball o fire, we ought to be fiiiine" Though the dwarf would listen to his new ally, then taking a few more steps away.

once we're kind of in a safe place but not too safe...

*Click*

Up to no good: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17 Nope. Aww

The dwarf heard the sound of breaking metal above him, seeing the two halves tumble past him. Instinctually, Garfaulk reaches up, trying to help steady Ton, hoping he wasn't about to have an elf fall on him

Helping: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Is there a check for Garfaulk to make to know if we need to use all of the seefour we have to make this work? >:D

Garfaulk, explosives in his bag, makes his way up with Ton, determined to not let those explosives out of his sight. "If anyone's blowin themselves up over this sorta thing, it oughta be me, ya know Shady?" he says with a laugh, making his way up the ladder.

Climb: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Engineering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

I'd typed this up this morning but it didnt submit. Same numbers as Ton though lol

Hearing Wulf scream in agony, Garfaulk takes a step up to fire into the room "Watch yer position there Charles, yer blockin the way! Though nice knifework" reloading Slagbreather, he pokes it into the room just enough to fire at whoever he could get to Either the one Charles is in front of, or the one next to him. If Charles got his kill, i'd actually like to move in for the clearer shot. Burning Grit for damage to help save Wulf

1d20 + 4 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 3 + 1 - 2 = 18
1d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 3 = 9

preventing a foothold situation from invaders from the plane of fire feels like an expendables plot-consider me excited!

Seeing one of the beasts move up, Garfaulk hops back, this time reloading a single shot into Slagbreather. Aiming right for it's face through the door, he took careful aim and fired. "I said, Stay back!!!

Slagbreather: 1d20 + 4 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 3 + 1 - 2 = 13
Bam!: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Seeing the creature reach through the door for his gun, he pulled it back quickly, not wanting to let the damn creature get the first proper pistol he ever had. "Nice try ya filthy beastie-now get back!"

Do we all get attacks now?

Been home from work sick since Thursday (apparently im not in good health in 2019 lol) though when I go back on Monday I can try it

Not sure if it will be blocked at work though

Aiming around the corner through the doorway, Garfaulk held Crescendo in one hand, pulling Slagbreather out to fire her cone shot into as many of them as the blast could reach "Metal eaters?! They get mah guns, ya might as well tie me to tha dish when we blow er to smithereens!" Though he tried to hush his voice halfway through that yell, just in csse someone was around to hear them. Oh how he wish he had the thrower of flames installed already.

Slagbreather: 1d20 + 4 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 3 + 1 - 2 = 16
Slagbreather: 1d20 + 4 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 3 + 1 - 2 = 10
Slagbreather: 1d20 + 4 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 3 + 1 - 2 = 16

BAM: 1d6 ⇒ 3

The only thing is that means I cant just casually work on a post while im at work, as switching tabs on the computer is easier to hide than me typing in my phone lol. But if everyone is for it I can make the change without issue, just my posts may come even later in the day than they do already.

I cant see into the room even if I'm positioned right in front of the door. Is this a weird thing because of where the door is in relation to the square, or is it actually supposed to be that offset?

I love how the two examples of the song thing between amazing grace and pokemon were brought up but my mind went to Buy the World a Coke

cool cool cool. Maybe somewhere a bit cleaner than Dinvaya's, or would that work? lol

The dwarf picked up the box, hands shaking, wide grin on his face as he opened it, expecting some sort of pistol, or rifle, though was puzzled by the tubes and wires. Fiddling about with the bits and pieces, his eyes widened. "Well now, aint tha sumthin-what in blazes!" he yelps a bit as the flames singe his beard. Patting out the flames quickly, he packs it back into the box. He groans a bit, thinking back to that merchant who offered them the body parts earlier. Still, when he got back up, box tucked under his arm, he had a glint in his eye. "Heh. Looks like someone out there likes me-and they've left me a bit o a gift. This lass ere will be a fun one. Though we're gonna need help settin er up. Think we can find tha metal part merchant again? Throwin flames around may is bound to be a good time"

The suspense! Lol. And thanks Charles- yeah, brain didn't feel so goodthe other day lol

He is protecting their assets. Having a group like the Society on your good side is likely good for business. And I'm sure plenty of people realize their mistake and get partial refunds. Partial. And those that don't... well, those that don't return them likely ran out of ammo when they needed more than 2 shots.

The dwarf is easy enough to find, as he's tossing crates and junk aside, digging through feverishly, looking for something-and then stops at the dirt. Digging more carefully now, he starts looking through it meticulously, no wanting to damage whatever lay there. "Not yet. But I think I'm about to find sumthin... mighty interestin..."

lol I've been checking every wall of every room since I found that note-no hint required though appreciated lol

Garfaulk, looking around as they approach, suddenly feels like this place... this is what he's been waiting for, looking for. Even breaking out Whiskifiss had him looking for basements or other places where one would have a bunch of small rooms in a row, and this place fit the bill. His gut telling him left, he proceeds, Crescendo in hand. "Nah, There's no way... could it be..." for the first time, Gafaulk was talking... quietly. And to himself. Checking each room carefully, he proceeds with a bit of caution until he got into what seemed like a bunch of cells, starting towards the last one on the left, giving the door a kick to see if it was open, not taking his hands off his weapon, just in case.

Garfaulk groaned, making sure Crescendo was cocked and ready to fire-he hated fighting clerics. Is it Staked or Stacked? misread it the first time, and Jolga and Wulf seem to have read it each their own way as well The dwarf grimaced a bit as the state of the bodiues, but then gave Jolga a curious look "Oy, I intend to be buried when I go-dwarf returnin to the earth an all tha. Ideally facedown, so anyone who digs me up can kiss my arse. Wha's wrong with bein buried? Despite his banter, he was still keeping a watchful eye out for movement, gun at the ready.

Garfaulk chuckles, turning to Zeke, whispering "Heh. 50 gold says Wulf gets him" with a wink before following along towards the giant dish "Hells yes! Got my explosives both primed n' ready! Heh, good thing I never fell off'r tower, eh?"

---

As they approached the ravine, Garfaulk noticed the birds and became a little more upbeat "See them? Those'r scavengin birds. Maybe someone did all the heavy liftin fer us already." Still, he made sure to have Crescendo in hand, with Slagbreather set back to the blast cartridge, though made sure he had the laser rifle wear crescendo usually sat. The heavily armed dwarf grunted-he'd probably have to make a decision about one of these guns eventually-though that day was not today.

Bit of a nasty migraine, may have to post this evening

Bit of a nasty migraine, may have to post this evening

its a cool rifle with 20 shots in it before empty, which was my only holdup on taking it originally, especially with those two alternate modes using half the charges it has.

Wulf, were you saying taking the rifle or the EMP gun? Because if someone else wants the rifle, I'm pretty good with Crescendo for the moment. If not, I can definitely make use of it.

Garfaulk whistled at the pistol, marveling at it and what it could do "Now tha's a weapon fer Ton if I ever saw one-help ya get yer revenge on Trett, eh?" It was fancy, though a bit too fancy for his tastes. He liked rougher guns. The ring had his curiosity as well, giving it a lookover, though he had no idea what it did.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Garfaulk looks up as Wulf lobs the corpse of the manticore over the side of the tower edge "What in blazes-aw come on!" and with that, the dwarf dashes off to the side, getting 60ft away before the body hit the ground, not wanting to be there when the impact likely splatters people with gore
