Reis's page

Issue still a problem as of 9/17/2015, I just downloaded a fresh S&S PG pdf and am using Windows Ultimate x64 and Adobe reader XI 11.0.12 and a Brother HL-5470DW (B&W laser)

I'm moving to LC in July and looking for a game

shortest thread evar?

I think the Skald is probably the best (not necessarily most powerful) class to come out of this playtest so far. It covers all the bases, good combat potential, good (outstanding) party support, good skills, good roleplay potential, decent spellcasting, good survivability.

Do you think allowing PCs to shift features of a class on the fly will be a drag on play time in an actual game? This is a significant issue for the shaman and even more of one for the Brawler. Even as an experienced player with all the pertinent sources accessible on hand, does it have the potential to cause significant game time delays?

sorry for the wall of posts. I hope this will be of some use and that I haven't violated some board rule by posting full stat blocks, I hope only to advance our, and everyone's knowledge of the playtest. My hope is that this will provide a new form of playtest feedback. Feedback on my character creation methods are also welcome!

Thanks for your consideration.

--------------------
Arcane Reservoir +2 DC or CL (33/day) (Su) An arcanist has an innate pool of magical energy that she can draw upon to fuel her arcanist exploits and enhance her spells. The arcanist’s arcane reservoir can hold an amount of magical energy equal to three times the arcanist’s level. Each day whe

Counter Drain (Su) Whenever the arcanist successfully counterspells a spell, the arcanist regains points to her arcane reservoir depending on the level of the spell countered. Spells of 2nd-level or lower do not restore any points. Spells of 3rd, 4th, and 5th level res

Destructive Dispel Upon successful dispel, opponent must save or is stunned
Dimensional Slide (110') (Su) The arcanist can expend one point from her arcane reservoir to create a dimensional crack that she can step through to reach another location. This ability is used as part of a move action, allowing her to move up to 10 feet per arcanist level to any
Elemental metamagic rod (acid) (3/day) Each elemental metamagic rod is built with the power to control and transform a specific energy type (acid, cold, electricity, or fire). The wielder can cast up to three spells per day that deal damage of the rod’s energy type instead of the spell’s normal damage type, as though using the Elemental Spell feat. For example, an elemental metamagic rod (cold) always makes spells deal cold damage.

Metamagic rods hold the essence of a metamagic feat, allowing the user to apply metamagic effects to spells as they are cast. This does not change the spell slot of the altered spell. All the rods described here are use-activated (but casting spells in a threatened area still draws an attack of opportunity). A caster may only use one metamagic rod on any given spell, but it is permissible to combine a rod with metamagic feats possessed by the rod’s wielder. In this case, only the feats possessed by the wielder adjust the spell slot of the spell being cast.

Possession of a metamagic rod does not confer the associated feat on the owner, only the ability to use the given feat a specified number of times per day. A sorcerer still must take a full-round action when using a metamagic rod, just as if using a metamagic feat he possesses (except for quicken metamagic rods, which can be used as a swift action).

Lesser and Greater Metamagic Rods: Normal metamagic rods can be used with spells of 6th level or lower. Lesser rods can be used with spells of 3rd level or lower, while greater rods can be used with spells of 9th level or lower.

Construction
Requirements Craft Rod, Elemental Spell; Cost 5,500 gp
Empower Spell Numeric effects of a spell are increased 50%. +2 Levels.
Greater Spell Focus (Evocation) +1 to the Save DC of spells from one school.
Headband of aerial agility (Int +4) (Perception, Sense Motive) +1 CL for spells/extracts that grant flight.
Spell Focus (Evocation) Spells from one school of magic have +1 to their save DC.
Spell Tinkerer (±50% duration or suppress 1 rds) (DC 15) (Su) The arcanist can alter an existing spell effect by expending one point from her arcane reservoir. She must be adjacent to the spell effect (or the effect’s target) and be aware of the effect to use this ability. She can choose to increase or decrease

I'm prepping a playtest PC of all 9 new classes with expectations of running this in the next month or two

the following is herolab stat block for each class. Please crtitique. I hope this will be useful both for playtesting and for our use. Obviously I will probably only run 4 or 5 PC's but, all are up for grabs.

note: Herolab has not updated with the latest playtest version, but i have made some custom adjustments to try and accomodate. Please bear with me, eagerly awaiting an update!

abyssal bloodline is way too strong, easy to get 50 str by 20th when raging which is disruptively powerful when combined with 4th level spells and other abilities.

Use a metamagic rod to change your electricity damage to other

I don't like the idea of organized religion, fantasy or not

what about the intern position? I don't see it posted on the job opportunities section now.

what is pathfinder online, like a MMO?

It's powerful but not overwhelmingly so. If anything it shows that other m elee classes ( rogue, Wtf ranger) are not strong enough.

I do think it's disappointing that they decided to allow arcane mark spam for an extra attack per round since at lower levels that ought to be a more limited resource.

Master Trick: Advanced Talent - Hide in Plain Sight is an absolute must have if your campaign's fights mostly take place in a single terrain type.

I think it's intended that the caster could still make an escape artist check

if the AP encounters are too easy, just redesign them to be more difficult, you are the DM

so, trap the soul vs ET

no save vs a will save
16,000 GP cost vs. nothing

you need to make the target agree to accept the object vs just targeting them with the spell

but the target is imprisoned forever vs. just being useless for 16+ rounds

no, i still choose ET overwhelmingly. most situations last less than 16 rounds

if the target is immune to compulsion, of course i wouldn't choose ET. would i probably choose to cast trap the soul instead?

I was not looking for yes men, I was looking for people who would frame the discussion in the frame of comparing the spells to existing spells according to the rules that Paizo has set forth.

Here is my point.

Paizo states on page 128 of their book Ultimate Magic that the "golden rule" is:

"Compare your spell to similar spells. and to other spells of its intended level."

Also page 136 states "Core is King", and says "You should compare it to other spells in the the spells in the Core Rulebook to get a sense of whether the spell is strong or weak for its level. You can compare it to to spells in other books as well, but you should use the Core Rulebook as a baseline. This is because if a spell in another sourcebook pushes the boundaries of what's accepable or balanced, EVEN BY JUST A LITTLE BIT, it's easy to push the boundaries a little more with your new spell, which means that over time, new spells end upmore and more powerful compared to those in the Core Rulebook."

So when I say people are equivocating, I don't mean to invalidate anyone's argument. What I mean to say is that these spells are clearly more powerful than equivalent level spells in the Core Rulebook. That is the baseline for comparison.

Whether casters are more powerful than melee is not a valid comparison. Nor is stating that paladins are meant to beat up Evil. What is valid is comparing these spells to those in the Core Rulebook.

If you would like to argue that these spells are not more powerful than thos in the Core Rulebook, I would be interested to hear your opinion.

Actually some commenters agreed that the spells have issues.

as for why I posted, I would say that's evident. The point of the boards is to have a discussion, but I believe it says the number 1 rule is "don't be a jerk"! I'm attempting to discuss things in a polite manner here, so I'd appreciate it if other posters didn't attempt to dismiss my claims outright but rather tried to discuss them in a relevant manner.

anyway, I guess my continuing argument is that the posters disagreeing with my post have basically equivocated in the following manner:

1) Paladins are good at fighting evil, and are (arguably) already overpowered. Therefore, another 1-2 spells which make them even stronger against evil shouldn't matter because, just like 3.5, casters are (again, arguably) already much stronger at high levels. Therefore it shouldn't matter that this spell is overpowered because paladins should destroy evil opponents, which are the major foe in most campaigns, because there's no harm in making an already too strong class more powerful in most situations.

2) Direct damage as a high level primary caster is sub-optimal, therefore there's no problem with making a spell which is clearly stronger than most similar spells of its level because that type of spell isn't worth taking anyway.

3) An 8th level spell which is clearly much better than other spells available (even 9th level spells) of its level isn't a problem, even though a touch attack is quite easy to land on a variety of opponents at that level and does not allow a save

4) There's no problem with increasing the variety of swift action and "no save" spells available to "partial casters" because such classes are marginalized anyway.

5) A spell has a 1 round duration (a full attack at x2 damage!= encounter over) or has questionable duration which might be dispelled is not unbalanced even though it is still clearly better than other spells of its level.

I didn't mean "one upsmanship" as an attack against anyone. What I mean is that if you're going to reply, you should address the point directly rather than equivocating.

well I'll let this post die, because I think this board basically suffers from a problem of"one-upsmanship" so I'm not going to try to do that because I think I've made my points. I think there is some healthy discussion going on here but also a lot of equivocating and relativism which detracts from the fact that in a real play situation these spells are in a real sense perhaps unbalanced.

For my campaign, we'll probably make a "gentleman's agreement" not to use them. Good gaming!

Paizo has done a good job playtesting stuff mostly so far but there are some balance offenders lurking out there, I'm making this thread to get a discussion going and alert people that these spells are not balanced and can cause problems

if you know of other examples like these post em up

1. Euphoric Tranquility - http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/e/euphoric-tranquility

So, no save and they can't attack or cast spells for at least 16 rounds, AND they are helpful, so diplomacy is outdated. This one is pretty high level but it's straight up broken, touch required or not...there are a lot opponents at high level which are not hard to touch.

2. Litany of righteousness - http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/l/litany-of-righteousness

Hey paladins weren't powerful enough smiting evil already, amirite? Swift action no save...didn't the designers learn from 3.5 leap attack etc? Giving stackable damage multipliers is a bad idea. You can make a 20th level paladin archer with this spell deal well over 1000 damage with a single full attack.

Cold Ice Strike - http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/c/cold-ice-strike

This was apparently nerfed from a 60 foot cone to a 30 foot line but that doesn't really address the problem, dealing 15d6 cold damage in an area at range with a swift action with a 6th level slot is a bit imbalanced if not outright broken. Also, this doesn't fit the general cleric list at all. Compare it to a quickened lightning bolt, that requires another feat and takes a 7th level slot...

3. Litany of Vengeance - http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/l/litany-of-vengeance

So, +5 damage for everyone that hits, swift action, again no save. That's bad enough, but the duration is "instantaneous", by RAW then, the target takes +5 damage....forever? So as a DM, I hit a pc with this, they take +5 damage on every attack that hits them for the duration of the campaign?

I understand that, actually it's much simpler to simply expose the head to running water or sunlight or move it more than 9 miles away. But what happens if the head and body are reunited? What Bruno suggested would be pretty amusing but is that actually RAW?

hey but what happens when the head and body reach the coffin? Fast healing states specifically "Unless otherwise stated, it does not allow lost body parts to be reattached".

ah ok that makes sense, thanks

I DM a City of the Spider Queen conversion game and I'm seeking some help making a ruling about this. Here is what the SRD says:

Reducing a vampire's hit points to 0 or lower incapacitates it but doesn't always destroy it (see fast healing). However, certain attacks can slay vampires. Exposing any vampire to direct sunlight staggers it on the first round of exposure and destroys it utterly on the second consecutive round of exposure if it does not escape. Each round of immersion in running water inflicts damage on a vampire equal to one-third of its maximum hit points—a vampire reduced to 0 hit points in this manner is destroyed. Driving a wooden stake through a helpless vampire's heart instantly slays it (this is a full-round action). However, it returns to life if the stake is removed, unless the head is also severed and anointed with holy water.

Fast Healing (Ex)

A creature with fast healing regains hit points at an exceptional rate, usually 1 or more hit points per round, as given in the creature’s entry. Except where noted here, fast healing is just like natural healing. Fast healing does not restore hit points lost from starvation, thirst, or suffocation, nor does it allow a creature to regrow lost body parts. Unless otherwise stated, it does not allow lost body parts to be reattached. Fast healing continues to function (even at negative hit points) until a creature dies, at which point the effects of fast healing end immediately.

So if my players stake a helpless vampire then behead it but don't anoit the head with holy water or otherwise destroy it (with sunlight or running water), then later someone removes the stake, what happens?

Magus can be a very strong tank, think dervish+ac and miss chance buffs, most opponents near your cr can't hit you.

I always try to picture mirror image more like what happens when you shoot at agents in the Matrix

they aren't gimped at all, just need a little fixing up. Charisma is the primary stat for paladins so you should ask your DM if you can swap some stat points out to raise it.

Shield fighting isn't optimal for paladins so as you say, you should ask if you can somehow retrain the feats into power attack and maybe weapon focus (greatsword or falchion)

paladin is arguably one of the most powerful classes in PF once it gets smite evil

Add the soul protectors from Bastion of broken souls

have you ever run that module? thematically the bastion had some of the coolest monsters ever, i thought "spiritovores" were a pretty interesting idea. They should have build more on that!

Dude - you've gone totally the other way. Balance the weapons - not go nuts in making an uber weapon.

A 1st level warrior (NPC) with 14 con would have 7-8 hit points. A light crossbow is capable of killing such, a heavy one more so. Throw in a plus to damage at short or point blank range and its deadly.

Mind you I tend to think in E6 terms where most NPCs never make it beyond 2nd level or outside the NPC classes.

First off, a crossbow should be capable of killing a 1st level warrior with one shot. Second, balance isn't based on e6 or by ability to kill 1st level warriors, a 1st level sorc/wiz can stun (effectively kill) many 1st level warriors with a color spray but you wouldn't consider that broken.

The crossbow is portrayed as a hunting weapon on four Pictish stones from early medieval Scotland (6th to 9th centuries): St. Vigeans no. 1, Glenferness, Shandwick, and Meigle.[42] The use of crossbows in European warfare is again evident from the Battle of Hastings until about the year 1500. They almost completely superseded hand bows in many European armies in the twelfth century for a number of reasons. Although a longbow achieves comparable accuracy and faster shooting rate than an average crossbow, crossbows release more kinetic energy and can be used effectively after a week of training, while a comparable single-shot skill with a longbow takes years of strength training to overcome the draw strength of the longbow, as well as years of practice needed to use it with skill.

I completely agree, by the 14th century they had almost completely replaced longbows. The point is that d&d crossbows are not an accurate representation of a 14th century crossbow at all. Rather, d&d characters almost exclusively use composite bows which were never in use in europe, they were only made by asian societies. Unfortunately these societies only built composite shortbows, mostly for horse archery, to be honest the composite longbow is mostly a fantasy weapon.

Now you might say "but reis, the chinese were building composite bows in the 3rd century bc, so surely it's appropriate for a medieval technology pathfinder campaign. But consider that the chinese and many Asian societies developed technologies like this far ahead of european counterparts. The Chinese were also building composite crossbows from fairly advanced materials as early as the 3rd century BC.

Now, what's the point? It's that if you're going to assume Pathfinder Golarion cultures are using composite longbows widely, let alone guns, it's just common sense that artisans capable of producing weapons like this should also be easily capable of producing crossbows whose quality easily exceeds those presented in the CRB.

It's probably weak because barely anyone actually needs to use it, and that's assuming that you don't have anything else better to do in a round

but that just illustrates the point

It seems pretty clear that actually many people would like there to be more parity between ranged weapons across the board so that there would be more stylistic as well as tactical choice between ranged weapon rather than the current situation where everything except a composite longbow is bad.

IIRC, historically, crossbows were originally banned because a peasant shouldn't be able to kill a knight.

As it has been pointed out, crossbows were simple weapons, anyone can use them, but i am fine with them as they are now, just imagine if crossbows were realistic in their damage and to-hit, an entire party could be taken out within a surprise round. Armor piercing? that sounds like a touch attack, we'll be fair (sort), make it within 30ft it's a touch, just enough for sneak attacks anyway, the damage that should do? well just remember that crossbows were if not killing outright, defiantly taking knights down to below 0 (even without sneak).

The problem is the crossbows you're talking about were weapons of professional soldiers in the 15th century in Europe. Also, there would be no need to ban them because a peasant couldn't afford such a weapon.

Gotta read up on the history if that's the argument you're going to make. Plate armor and crossbows that could punch through parts of it weren't used in large scale on the battlefield until well into the renaissance. Also the idea that a longbow could punch through full plate has been proven wrong:

However, even heavy draw longbows have trouble penetrating well made steel plate armour, which was used increasingly after 1350. A 2006 test was made by Matheus Bane using a 75 lbf (330 N) draw (at 28") bow, shooting at 10 yards; according to Bane's calculations, this would be approximately equivalent to a 110 lbf (490 N) bow at 250 yards.[28] Measured against a replica of the thinnest contemporary "Jack coat" armour, a 905 grain needle bodkin and a 935 grain curved broadhead penetrated over 3.5 inches (89 mm). ("Jack coat" armour could be up to twice as thick as the coat tested; in Bane's opinion such a thick coat would have stopped bodkin arrows but not the cutting force of broadhead arrows.)

Against "high quality riveted maille", the needle bodkin and curved broadhead penetrated 2.8". Against a coat of plates, the needle bodkin achieved 0.3" penetration. The curved broadhead did not penetrate but caused 0.3" of deformation of the metal. Results against plate armour of "minimum thickness" (1.2mm) were similar to the coat of plates, in that the needle bodkin penetrated a small amount, the other arrows did not penetrate. In Bane's view, the plate armour would have kept out all the arrows if thicker or worn with more padding.

the problem would seem to be that only relatively primitive medieval crossbows are represented in the rules. Crossbows are a weapon that benefit a great deal from superior engineering, design, and craftsmanship, and a simple +1 to hit from being masterwork doesn't reflect this.

It's worth noting that actually, composite bows were not a medieval european weapon either, in fact, europeans never developed composite bows, although the Chinese and mongols were using them possibly as early as -300 BCE. By this time they were also making composite crossbows which were a pretty advanced design and gained many of the same advantages from being made of a laminate of wood, horn, and sinew. So it seems like the problem is that the game designers have represented a society that can make pretty advanced bows but not applied the same logic to crossbows.

The obvious solution to me would be to create composite crossbows which would be much more expensive and also more effective than a regular crossbow. A common criticism of pathfinder these days is that it allows firearms which represent a relatively high level of technology. In such a society it would be pretty reasonable to assume they could make crossbows that are more advanced as well.

here's the house ruls i'm running in my current game

Hand Crossbows now do a base 1d4(small) or 1d6 (medium) points of damage

Light Crossbows do a base 1d10 points (small) or 1d12 (medium)

Heavy Crossbows now do a base 2d6 points of damage (small) or 2d8 (medium)

The Double crossbow no longer causes a penalty to hit with it if you are proficient, its base damage is as a light crossbow of it size.

The Rapid Reload feat now allows you to load a new case of bolts into a repeating crossbow as a move action.

The Crossbow Mastery feat now allows you to load a new case of bolts into a repeating crossbow as a free action. If you have multiple attacks, this means you may make your full number of attacks with a full attack when using this weapon.

Double repeating crossbow: This crossbow is a marvel of engineering and is masterwork by default, no lesser design could possibly fire properly. Two arms of precision forged steel cross each other on it's fore section while the back incorporates two clips of bolts and two triggers, the whole of which is encased in a heavy plate of steel guarding the hands and often bearing stylized artwork or heraldry as best suits the individual wielder. Each double repeater is custom made to fit a specific wielder and other creatures take a -2 penalty to hit with one that is not fitted to them (stacking with the nonproficiency penalty). A skilled crafter might be able to resize a double repeater for a new wielder (DM's discretion)

Cost: 1000gp

Base damage: 2d4 (small) or 2d6 (medium)

Benefit:You may make one attack roll as a standard action. If the attack hits, the target takes damage from both bolts. Critical hits, sneak attack damage, and other precision-based damage only apply to the first bolt. Alternatively, you may fire both arms independently as a full round action and make multiple attacks if you normally could. You may choose which case to fire each bolt from as part of a full attack, for example in case you have loaded the bolt cases with different types of ammunition. You can't make full attacks with this weapon that deal damage for 2 bolts as part of a full attack unless you have the manyshot feat, and in that case you can still only fire a single extra bolt as part of a full attack.

Drawback: Due to its size and weight, you take a –8 on attack rolls if you’re not proficient with it.

Load: Each case of bolts holds 10 bolts. Loading one case of bolts is a full round action that provokes attacks of opportunity; the Rapid Reload feat allows you to reload both cases of bolts as a move action. Crossbow Mastery allows you to reload both cases of bolts as a free action.

it's not RAW and possibly the loading isn't realistic but it seems to be fun so far so, hey, who cares what the game designers intended?

Until they alter the x-bow into having a better base ability it will never compare. It needs something like guns resolving at touch AC within a certain distance. Crossbows were created to punch plate armor where bows at the time weren't capable.

Thats somewhat incorrect. Longbows could punch through plate just as well. No one seems to argue that they need similiar mechanics.

Weren't longbows used in this way generally fired en masse at a high arc, therefore deriving much of their power from gravity?
