Golarion Goblin's page

Dunno if this should be here or the Third Party board, but here goes: Let's say I was making a 3P monster from outer space. I know I can't say "It's from Marata, the forest moon of Bretheda", but can I give it Maratian as its language and say "It's from the forest moon of a gas giant, check Distant Worlds for more planetary info"? Which is less likely to get me in hot water?

A little bit of cross-posting from the Advanced Class boards...

My party was just about to finish the first Kingmaker book, The Stolen Lands, so I took the opportunity to test out some of the new classes. I'm running with 5 well-statted PCs, so I'm using the six player fan conversion.

Auchs

The Stag Lord

Auchs performed like a champ, elbow-dropping our cavalier from the upper floor and almost knocking off her mount. He held off the cavalier, her auroch mount, and the cleric of Gorum, dealing scads of damage bare-handed. While that was going on, the Stag Lord made the cleric his favored target (from cover and hidden) and sunk an arrow into the holy warrior's side. Luckily for the cleric, not close enough for sneak attack.

Mobility is incredibly limited due to the party wizard's web, so those engaged stay close. With a quick jab from Auchs, the cleric drops to negatives, and the cavalier responds with a yard of steel through the simpleton's spine effectively ending the brawler playtest. The Stag Lord, still hidden thanks to fantastic dice rolls, switches his favored target to the wizard and lets another arrow fly. Still standing, the wizard dumps a healing potion down the cleric's throat. The cleric, now in the positives, sits bolt-upright and hits the Stag Lord with hold person, turning the villain from threat to statuary, and then statuary to bleeding pile.

Overall, the brawler feels good. Nicely balanced between fighter and monk. The martial maneuvers, for an NPC, only really add a feat. It's nice to be able to swap on the fly, but the average NPC lasts a few rounds at most. It's something that I really want to see a PC use before I pass judgement.

The slayer has a LOT of potential for wrecking faces. Admittedly, I tried keeping him as "canon" as I could, so instead of trying some of the more interesting slayer talents, he just took more feats. I really want to toy with more of the talents. Deadly Range, Slowing Strike, and Sniper's Eye would have drastically changed the shape of the battle (if our wizard hadn't gummed up the battlefield with his web...).

All in all, the brawler and the slayer feel like a lot of fun, I just need more time to play with them.

Is there a list/table/thing of base skill DCs in the core rulebook? It's been too dang long and I'm trying to get a good footing for starting off a 1st level game.

Yes, the idea is swiped from Minmax's new sword in Goblins, and the name is swiped from a China Mieville novel, but look past all that. Are there any loopholes I'm missing to cover with this artifact?

Thanks in advance.

Be gentle...

Crown of the Kobold King -- Level 6

Heartripper Blade -- Level 3+

Grasp of Droskar -- Level 4

Any comments or suggestions would be very helpful.

Ryth'a
Female lizardfolk abyssal bloodline sorcerer 15
Description: Nearly twenty five years after a rag-tag group of adventurers disrupted and defeated the plans of the would-be demigod Ssyth'ek, the marsh around tiny Quilman's Ferry has become a darker place. Ryth'a, barely four summers old when her father died, escaped the assault by being spirited away by her priestess mother, only to return after the “heroes” had plundered all they could. Intent on revenge and determined to avoid her father's fate, Ryth'a spent many long years honing her sorcerous abilities in the hidden copses of black, dead trees that were once her home. As she grew in power, something else grew along with her: The spirit of Ssyth'ek. Despite being torn asunder by the Abyssal-energies he tried to consume, he remained, though fragmented, haunting the darkened bog.
Motivations/Goals: Vengeance is not all that Ryth'a seeks. She may have plans to drown the hamlet of Quilman's Ferry for their part in killing her father, but in her desire for power, she also plans to submerge all lands beneath the swamp, expanding Ssyth'ek's ghostly influence, and taking back their land from the soft-skins. Ryth'a spends much time with the shattered spirits of her father, learning where he went wrong, and laying plans to overshadow even his great ambitions. A charismatic leader, Ryth'a emphatically believes that she can do more and go farther than Ssyth'ek ever could, armed with both his earthly knowledge and her own considerable power. She knows the isolationism of her father was part of his downfall, and has used her guile and magical abilities to broker alliances with bandits, gnolls of the Sirmium Plain, goblinoids of the Chitterwood, and demonic forces who want nothing more than to see the diabolic nation of Cheliax reduced to chaos.
Schemes/Plots/Adventure Hooks:

• Banditry along the River Iseld has become rampant, with the few survivors telling of dark powers aiding the raiders. Evidence points to a gang of tieflings with crocodilian companions working out of Senara as the cause.
  
• Thanks to the efforts of her sycophantic marsh giant companion, Ryth'a has cowed some of the Shaggras ogres to her will and is arming them for an attack on Quilman's Ferry. A lone trapper catches sight of the ogres' camp and alerts the PCs.
  
• Patches of swamp have begun to appear in places where no swamp should be. Although the patches linger for only a few days, those who encounter them report sightings of a deeply disturbing frog-like visage within them.
  
• An oracle has been struck with a vision of wet, murky doom. Sending for the PCs, she begins to foretell of the catastrophe, but is only able to detail vague directions before fetid water fills her lungs, pouring out her mouth and drowning her.

===== Tactics =====
Before Combat If she anticipates combat, Ryth'a casts stoneskin, mage armor, bear's endurance, and bull's strength on herself, in that order. If she has time, she casts bear's endurance on Braxxog.
During Combat If outside her chambers, Ryth'a starts combat by casting acid fog from hiding while her foot-soldiers, using potions of resist energy (acid), attack en-masse. She follows up by focusing on fighter-types with ray of exhaustion, ray of enfeeblement, or baleful polymorph, while reserving feeblemind or bestow curse for spellcasters, heightening them when appropriate.
If caught inside her chambers, she begins combat by casting summon monster IV, summoning two Huge fiendish vipers and orders the snakes to push PCs into the area affected by Ssyth'ek's haunt. She then follows up with chain lightning or mage's sword, reserving greater dispel magic for those bearing obvious magic effects. Depending on how well the fight is going, Ryth'a will attempt to flank with Braxxog in order to grant him sneak attack damage. If reduced to 80 hit points or less however, she will instead summon two fiendish girallons via a summon monster VII spell to aid the marsh giant instead.
Morale While tenacious, Ryth'a does not wish to share her father's fate, and flees using greater teleport (or expeditious retreat if dimensional travel is barred somehow) when reduced to 25 hit points or less.

Abyssal Inheritance
The power of the Abyss runs fiercer through your veins than others of your kind.
Prerequisite: Sorcerer 1st level, abyssal bloodline.
Benefit: Choose acid, cold, or fire. You gain resistance equal to half your sorcerer level (rounded down, max 10) versus the energy type you chose. Once the energy type has been chosen, it cannot be changed. You also gain Abyssal as an additional spoken language.
In addition, add +1 to the Difficulty Class for all saving throws against any spell you cast that was gained from your bloodline, such as cause fear. This bonus does not stack with Spell Focus.
Special: This feat can only be taken at 1st level.

What exactly does "Do not list abilities that appear in the Universal Monster Rules (darkvision, grab, incorporeal, rend, and so on)." cover? Are class abilities part of that also? If I made a cleric, do I need to explain the rules of channel energy?

Now, I'm not looking for a work around the gold limits, but if your villain has the requisite feats, can we assume that they'd be able to craft their own gear?

Ok, let's say we have an 11th level sorcerer with a black draconic bloodline. Now, said sorcerer gets his claws (pardon the pun) on a pair of +1 flaming spiked gauntlets. Assuming a Strength of 14, if he were to make a full attack with his claws, what would the damage look like?

This: 1d6 + 2 plus 1d6 acid
Or this: 1d6 + 3 plus 1d6 fire plus 1d6 acid

Does the sorcerer add extra damage from other sources to his claw damage, or is there no way to add an extra oomph the the claws?

EDIT: Does the inverse also apply? Can the sorcerer add the additional 1d6 acid damage to his gauntlet attacks?

Ssyth'ek, He Who Devours Demons

Unique male half-fiend lizardfolk fighter 4/holy warrior cleric 7

Description: Born of the unholy union between between the tribe's former shaman and a hulking hezrou, Ssyth'ek rules over the Scything Claw tribe of lizardfolk with absolute impunity. Clearly different than other “standard” half-fiends, Ssyth'ek stands over nine feet tall, wingless, and able to exude a poisonous musk from his warty, gray skin. He stares out over his people with small eyes set forward and high upon his head, giving him more of a toad-like appearance then that of a lizard. He shows his wrath plainly, bloating and puffing up when angered, with beads of dark green poison flowing from his skin like sweat.

Clad in armor made from the scales of an immense black dragon that recently opposed his tribe, Ssyth'ek strides into battle using his claws and teeth as his favored weapons, reserving his Abyss-borne magic to gird himself before battle, but unleashing the remainder at his fleeing opponents. Despite his savage upbringing and demon-tainted blood, Ssyth'ek has a mind for strategy beyond pure barbarism, drawing enemies into traps and turning minor skirmishes into running battles with his swamp-skimmers and their monstrous crocodilian companions. His reptilian nature is decidedly evident in his cunning strategies; slow and sluggish to the casual observer, but snapping tight in sudden, vicious maneuvers.

Motivations/Goals: Ssyth'ek is a canny and ruthless leader who is no longer satisfied with the simple dominion of the surrounding swampland. He desires nothing more than to become an unstoppable, demigod-like being.

Schemes/Plots: When he assumed power, Ssyth'ek's first decree forbid the practice of the druidic faith, turning instead to a dark, primal power that answered the ruler's guttural prayers and bloody sacrifices. With the blessing of this mysterious abyssal patron, Ssyth'ek's priestesses uncovered an ancient and dark ritual that allows an idolater to feed upon the soul-essence of evil outsiders and grow in power. Using this ritual, Ssyth'ek called and consumed dretches, babaus, a vrock, and most recently a rank-and-file hezrou. Bolstered by this string of successes, Ssyth'ek plans now to call his own father, the massive hezrou Gragrorrp, so that he may devour him. Should he also succeed in this, Ssyth'ek will cease to be a mortal creature, transforming into a full-blooded demon. All that is needed are the right astral alignments, and the dark ceremony can begin.

Adventure Hook: The ritual to summon Gragrorrp is still beyond the abilities of Ssyth'ek, though fortune seems to favor the fiendish chieftain as his scouts have brought word of a human bearing the mark of a summoner that travels the tribe's estuaries. Pavius Alvonar, a Chelaxian devil-binder, is traveling through the area on a mission for his house and might employ the PCs as bodyguards for the long trek. Alternatively, the PCs may learn about the wizard's kidnapping, especially if any have ties to Cheliax, and be dispatched to rescue him.

What with Adamant Entertainment putting out angelic and vermin lord pacts, I thought I'd try my hand at it too, so I'm working on the dragontouched pact. I'm mainly trying to adapt the dragonfire adept from Dragon Magic into 4E without coming up with an entire new class. Considering how the dragonfire adept was, essentially, the warlock with a different flavor and attack shape, a warlock pact seemed the way to go.

That said, I do have a question: I'm trying to create a controller warlock as opposed to a striker with this pact. Is that a feasible endeavor or should the controller be the sole purview of the wizard?

How will we be notified as per our entries? Will everyone be told at the same time, or will some be told sooner than others? Just wondering and in no way, shape, or form trying to placate any paranoia...

Temporal Bracers
Aura strong transmutation; CL 17th
Slot hands; Price 165,240 gp; Weight 1 lb.

Description
You may activate these gem-studded bracers as a move action, pulling your “future self” to the past for one round. Your future self appears in a square adjacent to you, acts as your turn ends, and may take one full-round's worth of actions. At the start of your next turn both incarnations, and any items carried by them, disappear for one round. At the start of your third turn, you reappear in the square where your future self was last standing, appearing in the nearest adjacent square if that one is occupied.

Both incarnations are subject to damage and effects, using only one hit point total. All effects of a failed save against any persistent effect, such as poisons or the scare spell, remain with you when you reappear on the third round after activating the bracers. This includes death effects and dying due to hit point or ability loss.

A pair of temporal bracers can be used three times a day, but can only be activated once every four rounds.

Construction
Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, time stop; Cost 82,620 gp

I have a PC in my gaming group who's a half-orc, wields a non-masterwork spiked chain, and worships Cayden Cailean. The party has just started into D1, and I suspect they'll be dealing with the

The quote the rage ability "Starting at 1st level, a barbarian gains a number of rage points equal to 4 + her Constitution modifier. At each level after 1st, she gains an additional number of rage points equal to 2 + her Constitution modifier." Now does "at each level after 1st" mean any class, or only barbarian levels? Does a barbarian with a 14 Con who takes a level in fighter at second level have 6 or 10 rage points?

So, I've been recently working on updating the thaumaturge base class for the PRPG, mainly due to the two prominent thaumaturges in the Rise of the Runelords AP. As such, I decided to update the given domains in the back of the "Armies of the Abyss" book. So here they are. They should be balanced with the rest of the Pathfinder domains, but I really don't know, hence my asking you, the forum goers, for your input. Thanks in advance.

Catastrophe Domain

I'm going to be using the thaumaturge from Green Ronin's Armies of the Abyss book. Any suggestions on how to bump this class up to PRPG level?

Hello everyone. I'm going to be running a campaign using the final Alpha playtest of the Pathfinder System (we'll be upgrading to the official version next August). It looks like the campaign is gonna be mostly set in the Darkmoon Vale. That said, has anyone had any issues running these modules with the new system? I've got a party of five players, so I'm going to be bumping the encounters up some as it is already, but any specific points any other DM's could share would be most appreciated.

Will poster created content and/or beta-testing material be credited in the final release of the Pathfinder RPG? I'm not looking for anything major, just a small section at the end of the book. Is this asking too much?

...from a gnome and a half-orc.

For those of you that have/are successful game designers, what exactly do you need to do to break into the business? Unemployment compensation is surprisingly kind to me right now, so instead of trying to find another wage-slave job, I thought I'd try and do something I like. Yeah, I missed the boat with RPG Superstar (stupid me for not seeing it in time), but aside from that what do I need? Schooling? Playtest-type knowledge? Dumb luck? Any and all thoughts, suggestions, and/or et cetera will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Would a simple Skill Focus (Survival) be in order for creatures that would normally receive Track as a bonus feat? I'm restatting a dire badger and, while it's not terribly important, I'd like to get a semi-official answer before getting too far into the system.

If we're going to get rid of cure minor wounds, we should also get rid of inflict minor wounds simply out of a sake... purity? Regardless, an undead cleric who gets away and has sufficient time can completely heal himself without touching any spells or rebuke attempts. My suggestion is this:

Bleed

Necromancy
Level: Clr 0
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 Standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

When laying your hand upon a creature that is at or below 0 hit points and is stable, you immediately open it's wounds causing it to fall unconscious and begin dying.

Thoughts?

What background info did you give your PCs before starting any of these modules? Just how much of Falcon's Hollow did they know about?

FotSG Spoilers

After my PCs cut through nearly every encounter during my last session, I've decided to raise the stakes a bit and beef the throne-sitting boss of the ogres up a bit.

I would assume they'd be rare, if existant at all. Do we have any ideas one way or the other about draconic half-breeds?

Considering that the rosewood armor sprouts roses, would it be a viable target for an entangle spell?

Has anyone thought of beefing up Mammy Graul? My group consists of:
- A spiked chain wielding half-orc barbarian 3/ranger 4 with a war mastiff animal companion thanks to Natural Bond
- A human beguiler 6/mindbender 1 with the Mind Sight feat from Lords of Madness
- A human cleric of Desna 7 with Leadership and a 4th level warlock cohort
- A human factotum 5/chameleon 2 who can do ANYTHING
- And a gnome jester 7 whose hideous laughter spells make my DM dice rolls below 8.

After two dispel magics from the cleric and beguiler, they tore Xanesha apart and I'd like this to last a bit longer than usual. I'm thinking of swapping some stats and making her a 10th level dread necromancer. Has anyone else bumped her big fat fanny up in levels?

Long story short: Our party needs at least 60 days to craft magic items and we only have 6 available to us. Using the Great Wheel cosmology, are there any planes where times moves faster there than it does on the Material Plane (ie: 5 days there equal 1 Material Plane day)?

Long story short, I'm working on an Golarion homebrew class that has some ties to the Outer Realm (you can thank the Hounds in Pathfinder 4) that culminates with the character getting a template. I had originally thought about using one of WotC's templates, but I like keeping with the OGL spirit. Any suggestions for a good C'thulu-esque template? As a frame of reference, I have the Advanced Bestiary but I wasn't able to really find anything that fit the feel I was looking for.

Thans in advance.

Just finished the first half of Skinsaw and my PCs are soon to be on their way to the City of Monuments. I intend on bringing one of my player's siblings in as a slaver. If I recall, Korvosa is rather lenient on the slave trade, but what about Magnimar? I forget if this has been covered before, the holidays are finally starting to take their toll on my stress-addled brain. Thanx in advance.

I'm not sure if this has been covered before, but can we expect to see content from the Dragon Compendium grace the pages of Pathfinder APs or Game Mastery modules? I was thrilled when I saw all the class variants used in J1, and I'm wondering what other non-WotC "new" stuff we'll be seeing.

I'm planning on running D0 as a one-shot this weekend for, more than likely, four players. While Valeros and the gang are cool and all, I 1) have too much time on my hands and 2) like adding my own twist of things, so I'm coming up with new pre-gen characters. Here's what I'm thinking right now:

Human (Varisian) Battle Dancer 1
Half-Elf Cleric (Cloistered Cleric Variant) 1
Human Fighter (Thug Variant) 1
Elf Evoker 1

Has anyone else changed or ran D0 with a "non-traditional" party, and if so, how did it turn out? I don't want a TPK because of my bad planning/character creation.

I think this has been brought up before, but I'll ask anyway. Do you guys have a "Paizo Gallery" where we can print out some of the artwork found in the Pathfinder AP and Gamemastery Modules? My fiance is running a "Kristmas Kobold Kampaign" and the art from "Crown of the Kobold King" would be a great visual aid for the players.

In my campaign, I'm going to add something for our cleric, who seems to be getting the short end of the stick. I like the thought of flametouched iron from Eberron, but I wanted to have something that wasn't just "Here, look what I ported over from this setting for you". So I came up with celestial ore.

Any thoughts and/or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Golarion's dragons do indeed follow the standard dragon alignments. Pathfinder 4 has a large chapter all about Golarion's dragons, in fact. But yeah; the five chromatics and the five metallics function in Golarion the same way the do in most campaigns.

My players are just about done with Burnt Offerings and I'm giving them a few weeks in-game for downtime. One of my PCs wants to organize and help sponsor a fishing contest, with first prize going to the one who catches Murdermaw. Now is "red snapper" Golarion slang for some type of huge crimson-shelled aquatic turtle, or is the famed boat-eater just a large version of what my wife made for dinner last night?

My players beat the ever-living snot out of Malfeshnekor (A well placed glitterdust from the beguiler and a roll of a 2 for the save ensured that), but still have the treasury, howling hole, and tentamort's lair to explore. I want to give my 4th-level PCs a challenge, so I'm thinking about advancing the tentamort. Now the stats in Pathfinder don't list advancement and I was wondering when the thing got to be Large-size. Can anyone help me out?

As was brought up before in other threads, the multitude of shatter-using spellcasters may be a bit of a problem for the players. I know one of my PCs, the half-orc barbarian, will have her spiked chain targeted at least once. Now, I could just put a +1 spiked chain in with the random treasure, but that feels to hokey. So instead, I came up with a legacy weapon for the campaign. Any input anyone has on this would be much appreciated.

[Notice: I don't know how to do tables on the boards, so please forgive the more than likely bad formatting.]

As I said, input is most appreciated.
