Thank you so much for the reply! Yeah, I play PFS exclusively, so that's too bad, though I still might buy the book, just as a source of elemental inspiration if nothing else. Thanks again for bringing it to my attention!And Gaulin, thanks for the suggestion! Everybody pretty much nudged me in the Earth Sorcerer direction, but I think Druid will do the job just as well (having access to the same Primal pool) and flavor-wise it's a bit closer to what I had in mind for my character.

Thank you so much, I had no idea about this! This looks awesome! If Legendary Kineticists: Second Edition is indeed Pathfinder Society legal, I'll definitely buy it!

Ghorans do look cool, but I'm some five sessions away from a leshy ancestry. :) Plus, leshies are even more out there and more nature-based then their M-sized plant-like brethren, and that makes them even more interesting in my book. Ghorans are usually portrayed as wood-masked / wood-faced green elves or humans, but leshies truly have their physical freak on. :) Set and Mrspaghetti, thanks for the suggestions! :) Stilts actually sound dangerously close to almost eschewing the size rule, but I'd be lying if I said that I don't love the idea. :) As far as the illusion of being taller is concerned, fungus leshies do usually have caps, as mushrooms normally do, so I could probably get away with a lot if I go for a large cap on its head. Sort of like a gnome with a humonguos top hat. :) Only inverted. :) I'll play around with your ideas a bit. I'll definitely have that S in the character sheet, but what will actually walk the streets and go on adventures might end up being a bit... over the top in some ways. :) S in the sheet, M in the street, one might almost say. :D

Perhaps he's not the first vessel for that particular nature spirit that's "building" this new body for it to inhabit. Perhaps the spirit's experiences and memories and knowledge are becoming almost too much and too powerful to put into a smaller frame. Or some of the past experiences the spirit went through actually pushed it into experimenting with a bit larger vessel. Or it tapped into one of those myconid mega-organisms, a single fungal colony that's several miles across, and what came out from the process was tad larger than usual. It can be a combination of factors, like in the goblin example. The character can certainly be somewhat of an aberration even among its own kind. After all, there are freakishly large humans as well.

Amazing stuff! And wonderfully laid out!Thanks a million, this is definitely a fountain of inspiration!
DAYUM!!
Manbearscientist, this comparative evaluation and examination belongs in a compendium somewhere! Aspiring archers everywhere can consider themselves outright blessed by this community's thoroughness and willingness to help! I don't know what to say. I never expected this level of expertise. This is absolutely precious!
Greetings all!

Thanks for the info! I've heard about it, but kind of suppressed that information, because I was told that it was quite expensive. :) Now I've tried the free demo, and yeah, it looks much too close to what I had in mind for my idea to ever see the light of day, I'm afraid. Or rather, I think that Pathfinder would have to be considerably more popular than it already is for something as ambitious as my suggestion to actually get off the ground.Ah well. One can dream! Perhaps one day the circumstances will allow for something akin to the "Pathfinder Keep" to exist. In the meantime, I think I'll create my Playtest character via Hero Lab Online. :) |
