<p>Flight is kind of hard to get your hands on at mid level if your casters aren't doing it for you though.</p>
<p>Also, I'd like to point out that, at level 1, where the price of composite bows are an issue, thrown weapons beat it out in terms of effeciency for two-handers. Yeah, you've less range, but Chakram still get 30ft RI, and they're only 1 gp a piece. I wouldn't spend money on a composite bow until I hit my first iterative, to be honest.</p>Covent wrote:As the OP my premise which I stated several times has always been that a method of flight will remain a better option than using a Bow.

<p>Standard shaman spells are quite good though. There's sleep, entangle, levitate, blindness, deep slumber, sleet storm, stinking cloud & fly, just to name a few low-level stables. Admittedly, the 2nd level spells aren't very good, but that's just how it goes. There's always Summon Swarm, and the whole SNA line.</p>Silver Surfer wrote:I strongly disagree.... the fact that it gets so many options is what makes it really OP...

At fifth level, a character is expected to a little bit more than 10k worth of items. For a monk, that might look like this:</p>
<p>Magic fist Amulet +1
<br />
ring of protection +1
<br />
Cloak of resistance +1
<br />
Bracers of armor +2</p>
<p>So he's down -1 to hit, -1 to damage, -1 to saves and -3 AC over a regular monk.</p>
<p>I'm singling out AC because it's the one combat stat that doesn't increase with levels in some way (perhaps even just a little). A sword-and-board fighter will probably have 19-ish AC. A third level fighter might have 23 AC (from full plate, +2 Dex & shield), and that's pretty much where he'll remain for the rest of his career.</p>
<p>This is a good thing to be aware of when you design encounters. Lack of spells & healing isn't the only thing to look out for - regular encounters have to be scaled down too. Things with Power Attack, especially, become a lot more dangerous.</p>By the way, if you use the suggestion in the OP about not using wealth or a wealth-like pool, (i.e. Automatic bonus progression) be aware that characters' math, AC especially, is going to be quite a lot weaker than normal.

He's quite a dashing man in his late twenties, brownhaired and dressed in a bright blue coat with golden embroidery, worn over a white shirt.

<p>Another thing that's going to be special about a 'no player magic' game is that there won't be any healing. That's easily fixed by changing the pace of adventures, though.</p>
<p>Have high-intensity missions where there's two to four encounters spaced out over a day or two, and then put a month of recovery or so between missions. That also makes gaining access to new abilities a lot more organic than it is in traditional d&d, which is nice.</p>
<p>If one makes a lot of provisions and special attempts at providing foes that a no-magic party can deal with, then yes, you can probably run such a campaign. It can be lots of fun even; I've been part of something like that and enjoyed it. However, that doesn't read like it's what My Self is up to. And trying to run a regular adventure-path style game with pcs who have neither magic nor magic items will result in pcs dying all over the place.</p>Matthew Downie wrote:GM Runescarred Dragon wrote:That's a horrible, horrible idea you've got right there.

<p>Instead of looking at the chart for your class and saying 'everytime I see a +1 I gain it' this system uses the underlying math. At each level any given class gains the same bonus to BAB/saves/etc (ranging from 1/3 to 1, generally) and you add together all these bonuses and round down. Being gestalt you still take the higher of your options. BABs increase by 1/2, 3/4, or 1 depending on class. Saves increase by 1/3 or 1/2 depending on whether its a good save, and any save that is a good save for any of your classes gains a one time (non-stacking) +2 bonus.</blockquote><p>This is by far the best (not to mention official) way of handling it. It doesn't provide the ridiculous 'Ftr 1/Sorc 19//Wiz 20 has +20BAB and +21 to Will Saves' result that the normal rules put out, and it actually follows the rules as written.
<p>There was a reason that the fractional base bonus rules were first printed as a sidebar to the Gestalt Rules, after all - they're created to tackle this specific problem. Sadly, they got classed as 'fluff text' for the purpose of what could go on the SRD, so now the two aren't in the same place.</p>
<p>Anyway, the short of it is that the designers were aware that multiclassing gave wierd results, and they used partial bonus progression to patch those.</p>nate lange wrote:*brief tutorial on fractional bonuses in Gestalt*

<p>Basically, it literally states that your spell counts as a higher level when applying metamagic and indeed always functions so that it is always disadvantageous for the caster.</p>
<p>Ohhhhh well, learn something new everyday :).</p>
<p>Obviously, Spell Level increase are still decreased by Wayang Spellhunter/Magical Lineage. So an Empowered Fireball with these two feats still counts as a level 3 spell. </blockquote><p>Well, no.
<p>You could construe a more disadvantageous reading - even though the traits reduce the spell level for the purpose of the slot, it doesn't say anything about anything else. Wayang Spellhunter is especially explicit in what it does - there's no room in the language to interpret it as reducing the level for all purposes.</p>
<p>Go look at the rules bit of it <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits/regional-traits/metamagic-master" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here.</a>
<br />
So an Empowered Lineage Spellhunter Fireball counts as a 5th level spell. <i>Maybe</i> a 4th level spell depending on how you read Magical Lineage, but probably not.</p>
<p>Honestly, I think the whole 'disadvantageous' thing is stupid. Stacking rods with feats was kind of cool for blasting, but it never broke nothing.</p>Rambear wrote:GM Runescarred Dragon wrote:The rules in the book say that a metamagic'ed spell is always treated as a lower-level spell, except in the case of what spell level you use to cast the meta-magic spell.

<p>Low-level d&d logic shouldn't be extended into high-level d&d adventures. Rather, the classes who aren't given the tools to participate should be phased out, in favor of like classes who can, such as the 6th level characters.</p>
<p>Honestly, if you want to stick around at the lower levels of play, E6 is a wonderful system which sits right there. It's my goto when I don't want to deal with the glorious insanity that is high-level d&d. With some optimization, and a slightly bigger party than is standard, you can run encounters at CRs all the way up to at least 13, which is plenty for telling whatever story you want.</p>
<p>The concept isn't all that new - PFS itself effectively runs E12, for example, although they haven't got an advancement system in place for post-12th.</p>N. Jolly wrote:LazarX wrote: swoosh wrote:Full casters tend to get ridiculous abilities, especially endgame.

People keep saying that with some kind of mantra..

<p>You march on towards Drellin's Ferry, and closer to the river. Your captive plods along on his lead, seemingly quite unfazed by his predicament.</p>
<p>The road draws nearer the broad, sluggish river, and the town appears in the distance, built mostly on the near, southeastern side. Six old stone piers jut out from the water, marking the spot where a bridge once stood. The span itself is long gone. Instead, you spot a couple of long, thick ropes that span across the river, secured to a flat-bottomed ferryboat. The various houses are mostly one-story, stout buildings, white-washed walls reinforced with black timber, and tatched with straw. A few look decidedly older, built from red brick and mortar, and with tiled roofs.</p>
<p>The light is fading as you reach the first houses, bathing the scene in the almost golden light of a setting sun.</p>
<p>A group of armed townsfolk - three in leather armor, holding crossbows, the last in mail and with a rifle slung over his shoulder, stand guard at the road. The sergeant, a grizzled man with grey stubble, hails you as you're about to enter town. <b>"Hello, strangers. Caught that one on your own?"</b> He nods to your hobgoblin and spits on the ground. <b>"What's your business in Drellin's Ferry?"</b> he asks.</p>

<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>K.Religion: That's a stylized symbol of Tiamat, titled the Queen Mother of Dragons, or sometimes the Dragon Below. According to her faithful, she was the one that slew Aroden, back at the fall of the empire. That's considered a dubious claim at best by most scholars, but whatever her crimes, it is certain that she is imprisoned in Hell.
<br />
She is almost exclusively worshipped by chromatic dragons, and is said to be one of the first two dragons in existence, and thus the source of all dragonkind. She's a tyranical deity, but paradoxically she holds that all gods are tyrants. Whatever moral outlook they espouse, they are in fact lording over the mortal creatures, and it is only under her dominion that mortals may be free from their divine slavers. As such, worshippers hold that she is not in fact a god herself, despite evidence to the contrary.

<p>By the way, RE pinpointing invisible creatures who're making noise:</p>
<p>It's not covered in the rules, for some reason, which is strange. It's of course possible, but I'd also say it's pretty difficult. Personal anecdote time: I once stood in a field. Somewhere close was a grasshopper making that loud, continous chirping sound that grasshoppers make; I was trying to locate the thing by sound.</p>
<p>Took me a solid minute to be sure of the right smaller area so I could start going about looking for the thing with my eyes.</p>
<p>Homebrew time:
<br />
What I take away from this is that it should probably be <b>dc 20</b> to locate an invisible creature not careful about what kind of noise it makes, and take a <b>standard action.</b> Now, there's an obvious problem with that, so I'll also say that you keep track of any movement the invisible creature makes until the start of your next turn. </p>

<p>He pauses briefly at the door. <b>"See what sort of ideas she has, captain."</b></p>
<p>The captain listens attentively to what you have to say. You find that much of it has been thought of already, while some of it is new ideas to him. <b>"Yeah, we already have a militia. There's the guardsmen of course, plus miscellaneous folks who know what's what, and we've a hundred strong men and women running around in boiled leathers all day, ready to run down the armory for a spear and crossbow.

Training's a good idea, me and Katera are already giving the militia some on the weekends, but we could probably stand to step it up. I'll start them up tomorrow morning."</b></p>
<p>He listens some more.
<br />
"Advance warning, you say? Hmm. Might work. We could have some pairs of men sitting on a few outlying hills. I'll make sure they have a signal horn, and blow it if they see raiders or homesteads on fire. We could come to their aid a lot faster then."</p>
<p><b>"You really think we should evacuate the west bank? We can certainly try, and I see what you mean with the forest growing right up to the edge of town, but... It's going to be hard. People have lived there all their lives, and they own their land - we can't actually order them to leave their homes. Besides, almost half of our militia lives over there.

<p>Once you've said your piece, he gets ready to leave.</p>
<p><b>"Well, thank you for that. It just might make a difference, although I don't know if evacuating the western part of town will be possible."

If you berate some stranger and then barks orders at them, they're not going to listen to you. Why should they? You might just be full of yourself. Many people are. Besides, mr. Wiston is a good man.

<br />
"Beyond the threat to our home, we need the roads open. There's not much trade running through here these days, but what little we have is vital. They've cut us off from the west, and you're the first traveler to come up from south for a month! Even if they don't overrun us, the town will die a slow death from the lack of trade for sure."</b></p>
<p>He holds up a hand, warding off protests. <b>"Yeah, I know. You've got personal business and all. But I hear you're wanting to head up the old imperial road into chitterwood, to have a go at the old keep in there. Since you're headed that way regardless, we'd like you to scout up ahead, as far up as to the bridge. There'll be a base with a leader somewhere, once he's dead, they will fall apart. If you can take him out, we'd be much obliged. Otherwise, just knowing what's out there and where they're based will be extremely useful."</b></p>Here's the map on the table.

<p>In the inn, most people are in good spirits. There are farmers, a few traders and townsfolk, come to the inn to eat, drink and generally have a good time. Most of the people here seem like they're either wealthy, or at least earn a fairly decent wage.</p>

<p>It's not all fun and games - there are serious faces too.</p>
<p>At one table a wizened, burly dwarf sits down with an elderly lady in a priestess' robes and a balding man, wealthy by the looks of it. They're clearly disagreeing about something, but keep it quiet enough that their voices can't be made out at distance.</p>
<p>At another, an armored man, a guard by the looks of it, and a woman with a sword slung across the back of her chair, both of them in their early thirties, are having a conversation.
<br />
<b>"... Might have to evacuate if it gets any worse. They told me they were all gone, we're nowhere near prepared for this..."</b> You pick up as you pass their table - stopping to listen in on their conversation would be pretty rude.</p>
<p>There are a few empty tables, most of them near the door. The patrons are content to mind their own business, although a few of them nonchalantly eye you over their mugs.

<p>Erhm. You've been ordered to reestablish something called 'Vraath Keep' in Chitterwood. You have a deed for it that says it's yours by inheritance - that bit is probably forged, but as far as you know, the deed itself is legitimate - there's supossed to be a cache of treasure in the keep which you're to use to pay for rebuilding and hire staff/peasants to settle the lands around it and farm/hunt so you can get tax revenue, but first things first, you're to clean it out and claim the treasure.</p>
<p>Once you've done that, you can hire people, and Andoran can start sending some people up there to use it as a base of operations on the quiet.</p>
<p>Strictly speaking, you don't hold military rank right now, being a spy and all, and Cheliax isn't supposed to know where you're from.

<p>Now that you're not distracted by the ambush, you can tell that someone dragged something heavy down the path towards the farmhouse, and tried to clean up the resulting groves afterwards. They couldn't fix the grass that had gotten torn up though, and what with the intense heat and general lack of water, it hasn't started to grow back yet.</p>
<p>The hellhounds and the hobgoblin champion lie where you remember - although someone has dragged his torso free of the rock. One of his blades must've got caught when you dropped a rock on him and the hellhounds - it lies shattered in at least four pieces in the grass. The other blade is missing, as is his belt pouches - you can tell by the straps; someone cut them to get the pouches free. There're smidges of blackpowder on his leg, and scattered on the ground around him.</p>
<p>His breastplate is caved in, but you note the mark on it - a painted red gauntlet with splayed fingers.</p>
<p>You briefly noted flies around the farmhouse when you fought there - they haven't grown less active since. Inside, you find what they were dragging down the road - a half-butchered carcass of a horse, the remains living with giant green flies and maggots. It's probaby at least a week old. Apart from the carcass, there's a small hole dug in the stamped earth floor - it's about a foot deep, loose earth dug out by hand; there's a pile of dirt scooped up beside it.
<br />
At the bottom of the hole you find a single gold coin.</p>
<p>Behind the farmhouse there's a neat row of five rectangular mounds of freshly turned earth, each about six feet long and four feet wide. </p>
<p>A little further away from the farmhouse you find the hobgoblin encampment. There are twenty bedrolls, a firepit, a barrel of water, nests for the hellhounds, a cache of rations (most of it nasty stuff, dried meats of indeterminate origin and roots, but also a small bag of hazelnuts) and ten paces away there's the latrine ditch.</p>

I'd be tempted to say that you can't apply metamagic with wild arcana...-Arae (alias of The Dragon)2015-08-30T20:09:38ZRe: Forums: Play-by-Post Discussion: The Legend of Valissa Discussion-Arae (alias of The Dragon)https://paizo.com/campaigns/TheLegendOfValissa/discussion#282015-08-30T19:55:57Z2015-08-30T19:55:57Z<p>Ooh, actually, yes!

<p>Hmm... Currently, I have an idea for a character, Sir something something, who's a bit of a scoundrel.

<br />
<span class=messageboard-ooc>My take on the whole knowledge thing; I personally think players shouldn't be looking up monster stat-blocks. That said, replying that 'it's a retriever' doesn't give the players much to work with regarding deciding what their characters do and don't know about the creature. At that point, you can either decide that your character knows everything you know about retrievers off-hand, or you can go look up the creature and pick an appropriate number of facts about it your character knows. I can see how this might feel like a reasonable thing to do, even if I'm not quite sure I agree. Regarding templates, the advanced template itself exists in wierd territory, in that it's an entirely metagame construct. It exists because sometimes fights aren't quite hard enough, and it allows for an easy way of bumping a creature +1 cr. This is hard to describe in an appropriate in-character way, because it's not an in-game mechanic. Which is also why I personally loathe its existence, but that's besides the point.</span>

<span class=messageboard-ooc>If it'd been an Invincible retriever, maybe there could be some fluff about how its chitin is really thick, plate-mail grade stuff, and a knowledge check could turn out something like "That Retriever was created with heavier armor than they are normally forged with - hacking through it will be at best a difficult prospect."</span></p>Mi'al continues forward, falling to a knee besides the downed student, lays a hand on the person, calling forth empyreal grace.

I kind of want to make one, but I'm sure I'd miss a lot of things if I just started writing. So here's a brainstorming thread, where I'm hoping people will share their thoughts.</p>
<p>Things that should probably be in there;
<br />
-This thing actually combines flurry and mobility fairly well. Color me surprised.
<br />
-It is also really good at hitting stuff. Multiple attacks! At full base attack! Without penalties! Means that you are more accurate than for example a brawler.
<br />
-This extra accuracy should be traded in for damage, as you lack that. Power Attack, Pirahna Strike or Deadly Aim• are all golden, depending on your setup
<br />
-That said, if you want pure unarmed melee power, go grab the brawler or the sacred fist warpriest instead, probably with a dip into master of many styles. The guide will be for people who want the sweet wuxia flavor offered by actual monk class monks, not for filthy optimisers.</p>
<p>•Though if you like ranged attacks with your monk, pick the zen archer instead. It kills things really, really well.</p>
<p>Ki powers:
<br />
-Slow fall is for chumps. Grab a ring of feather falling instead, it's almost free.
<br />
-The ones costing 4 ki points are almost never worth it.
<br />
-Formless mastery is like having Favored Enemy(Humanoid: Strix). Do not pick this for PFS, nor for an AP, unless your GM likes to rebuild all the creatures and NPCs. Some GMs like style feats though. If yours is one of them, it might be more like having a holy weapon.
<br />
-Wind Jump is awesome. Having a ring of feather falling gives more mobility with it. Taking slow fall does not. See a theme here?
<br />
-Ki Visions: Divination is a powerful spell. This is not a bad ability.</p>
<p>Style Strikes
<br />
-Flying Kick. Take this. This is borderline mandatory.
<br />
-Shattering Blow. I wonder how this interacts with Pummeling style. If it lets you </p>
<p>That's all I have at the moment. I'm especially looking for feats and magic items I might not know of.</p>So the unchained monk is probably different enough from the standard one to merit a guide.

Am I the only one that finds it funny that pathfinder changed flurry, essentially making it two-weapon fighting?</p>
<p>Then there was the whole faq thing.</p>
<p>"It's not two-weapon fighting"
<br />
"Is too!"
<br />
"Is not!"
<br />
"Is!"</p>
<p>Aaand now they've changed it... Into the 3.5 version of flurry. Heh. It's even got the old extra attack on 11th level and everything.</p>
<p>Still, they've fixed the accuracy loss. This is good. It only took what, 7 years?</p>
<p>Seriously though, this version of the monk I can see myself playing, although I will remain annoyed that Brawling is an <i>armor</i> property, that 'Greater' combat maneuver feats require Combat Expertise while not being on the 10th level feat list, and (the new one) poor will saves. But these relatively minor inconveniences I can deal with. The loss of archetypes perhaps less so. They were actually quite interesting.</p>
<p>Well done. Kudos.</p>Ha. Am I the only one that finds it funny that pathfinder changed flurry, essentially making it two-weapon fighting?

<p>———————————</p>
<p>She listened raptly to the woman's story as she finishes up the splint. She wasn't a trained healer by any stretch of the imagination, in fact she was quite horrified the one time she tried to lift the leg to lay the bandage around the splint, and she ended up moving the fracture around instead, but she thought it'd let the woman - Anevia - walk, if she used a crotch at the same time. </p>
<p>She didn't comment on her story; there were few reassuring words she could offer. In all probability, Irabeth was dead. Anevia knew that, too. No reason to for Arae to make it worse by saying something crass just then. If she wanted to keep up hope regardless, she was free to do so. She held out a hand for Anevia to take as she stood again.</p>
<p><i>Hmm. Thinking that, while I myself am here searching for Aurius... Perhaps the right thing to do would be to abandon my search.</i></p>
<p>Meanwhile, Mr. Gwerm did not appear to be above saying crass things at the wrong time.</p>
<p>Arae's face curled in disgust. She had been willing to help him regardless - she still would, in fact. This would be one of those things she did because it was right, not because she wanted to - and she really, really didn't. Taking his money would be quite the satisfaction. But it'd give him some measure of legitimate control over the decision making process, being her defacto employer. It wasn't even a decision, really. Losing a prospective thousand gold - or however many she'd end up with after it was divided - stung. More than it should. She filed that feeling away to be examined in meditation and prayer at some later point. <b>"'The cripples' and 'the glowing kid', as you say, are your best bet out of here, and it'd behoof you to treat them accordingly."</b> <i>"Scum"</i>, she thought, but didn't actually say out loud. <b>"I'll promise to deliver you to your residence if and only if it is expeditious to do so, otherwise I will do my best to get you to safety. That is all."</b></p>
<p>The groan and flickering lights brought the elf to her attention. She took care to make noise as she approached him, treading a bit less softly than she otherwise would.</p>
<p><b>"Your eyes were injured in the attack. What do you remember?"</b> She surveys the gashes again, now that he's provided more light. It really didn't look good. She wished she knew more of how injuries healed, but she didn't think he'd be seeing again without magic to aid his recovery. Powerful magic, at that.</p>
<p><b>"Here, let me try to bandage it."</b>
<br />
She didn't strictly <i>need</i> shirt sleeves. They'd been high fashion to wear under dueling coats back in Absalom, though. Exposing the sleeves under her buff-coat took some work, but at last she had an arm bare, and with a flick of her dagger she had a length of relatively clean, white fabric that should serve well enough as bandage.</p>"Hold on, you know Aurius?

<p>Now, that's not saying the Warpriest is a Bad Class. It just needs to realize that it isn't a cleric. I can see it doing a couple of things well:</p>
<p>Self buffing: It get swift action self-buffs. This translates to

a) good defenses: Shield of faith, protetion from X, etc.
<br />
b) good offense: Divine Favor, Bull Strength, etc.
<br />
c) Battlefield control: Enlarge Person.</p>
<p>Feats: This translates to letting them do things wich requires lots of feats well.
<br />
AoO focus: Combat Reflexes, step up, etc.
<br />
Maneouvers: Improved trip, improved Disarm. I'd be relunctant to venture into things they can't use with their weapons, though.
<br />
Archery: This eats feats for breakfast.</p>
<p>Odd weapon choices: sacred weapon means they can use oddball things to greater effect tha usual.</p>

<p>Of course, I haven't played much at igher levels where crit-fishing comes into its own, and the damage increase from SW begind to matter.</p>
<p>Of course, I'm quite invested in the visuals of my character, and I'm not likely to ever go with something as silly-looking as a scimitar or a falchion unless I have a warrior I can envision using them.</p>

<p>That said, now that we get the freedom to choose, I think it might be reasonable to scratch the damage increase.

Lead Designer </blockquote>Isn't "required ability scores" (e.g. MAD) a bad balancing point? It dramatically changes how good a class is between a 10, 15, 20, and 25 point game. To say nothing of how it integrates with stat rolling. Other classes benefit from good stats too, but having a class with really high scaling with higher generation seems like a bad idea. </blockquote><p>Yeah. I've seen games at my table that run 5d6 drop 2 for stats generation. There'd be no such thing as 'ability requirements is balance'in there.
<p>The warpriest could end up in 'drastically more powerful than comparable classes while both have high stats' at the same time as it's 'drastically less powerful than comparable classes while both have low stats'</p>
<p>This is just as much of a problem for the warpriest as it was for 3.5e paladin, which is to say, a big one.</p>Drachasor wrote:Jason Bulmahn wrote:Interesting discussion folks,

<p>PLEASE Mr Bulhman and developer team change the blessing list for Gorum, Nethys, Torag, Abadar <i> Earth blessing </i> is in wrong deities!!</p>
<p>Thanks for all!! </blockquote><p>1) the increased damae die is always active. It's the special abilities that you have to activate.
</p>
Also, there's nothing wrong with a greatswords damage at level one. It simply doesn't need to be upped, while the dagger pretty much has to, if you aren't swimming in bonus damage that doesn't care if you wield a light weapon(eg: knifemaster rogue.)</p>
<p>2) I could see it being less MAD. It is pretty strong already, though, so maybe MADness balances it?</p>
<p>3) yeah. It's probably an oversight, though.</p>
<p>@raith: shouldn't a fighter be doing comparable damage?</p>
<p>He'll have more money to buy str gear, and more points to buy str, since he isn't MAD.</p>
<p>Say he dumps cha, dumps int, and has neutral wisdom.
<br />
This means he can easily afford doing 20 str, instead of 18. No caster gear means he can afford +6 str instead of +4.</p>
<p>20+6+4(level)=30str.
<br />
16 BaB
<br />
WF, IWF, WS, IWS, +4 damage, +2 to hit.
<br />
weapon training, +3 hit/damage.
<br />
PA -5/+15
<br />
+26/21/16/11=+16+10+2+3-5/iteratives. 2d6+37 damage.</p>
<p>This compares pretty well to the warpriest, losing +5 to hit and +3 to damage.</p>
<p>The fighter has other things going for him as well, though. If we give him Two anded fighter archetype, the damage race swings back into his favor. He's also been using critical feats since level 11, something the warpriest can't do till 15. In addition, combat manouvers are something he's got both the feats, the BaB, and the ability scores to be good at.</p>
<p>Overall, I'd say that there's room for the fighter still.</p>Haco wrote:Sorry but is not a great revision:

<p>I can understand the complaint that nothing has been done to reduce the MADness of this class, but at least now there are worthwhile abilities to account for it. I wouldn't complain if they tied spellcasting, blessings, and fervor to a single stat (preferably WIS to further differentiate the class from the Paladin), but I can also see the multiple stat dependency as part of the price to pay for an effectively full BAB/6lvl caster class that is paladin-like without the alignment restrictions. </blockquote><p>It's a price I'd pay gladly. I'd totally play the warpriest as it is right now. I would ignore the blessings completely, but I'd be having a blast while doing so. I'm totally enamoured with the class, yet at the same time I can't really shake the feeling that there's three major problems with it.
<p>-Madness. Str, Wis, Con, Cha, maybe int if you want to do tripping (hint: you don't.)
<br />
-Ability bloat. I'm tracking what, five different pools of resources?
<br />
In addition to this I get bonus feats, and damage progression.
<br />
-Blessings aren't going to see much use compared to all the other cool things you can do. This could be fixed by upping the quality of the blessings. Maybe that's a bad idea, as I could say much the same thing about cleric domain powers, and that has never been a problem.</p>
<p>I'd tie fervor to Wisdom, tie sacred armarments(I like this name) to fervor, and cut blessings altogether.</p>
<p>Although in some ways, I think I'll be happier just having the class as it stands right now.</p>Unclejunzo wrote:I too would like it if Sacred Weapon lasted a minute per level, for the sake of ease of tracking and to make it a more useful ability at lower levels.

What I am trying to communicate is that the fighter who is choosing to use a rapier, choosing a high dexterity over a high strength, choosing light armor over heavy armor, and choosing to focus his feats on that rapier, is making those choices for roleplaying reasons. These are sub-optimal choices, mechanically speaking, that fulfill his roleplaying concept. i am attempting to draw an analogy here that say that the Warpriest who chooses a Deity with an underpowered favored weapon is also making a sub-optimal choice, mechanically, that fulfills his roleplaying concept (choice of deity).</p>
<p>Perhaps the better example is to discuss other features that are more simple to understand in this sort of analogy like Wizard Schools, Sorcerer Bloodlines, Oracle Mysteries, etc. but either way, same idea. Choice made for roleplaying reasons... mechanical consequences... not all choices are equally optimal.</p>
<p>Probably the best analogy here is to say that Cleric's pick a deity, and based on that choice are forced into a set of domains. They may not like those domains, and some Deities may have domains that they feel are weaker than others. Instead of domains, the warpriest is forced into a weapon type based on his choice of deity. This is all opinion, but I do not see that as any less fair than the choice that a Cleric has to make.

<p>The warpriest does so.</p>
<p>Take a rapier wielding pious assasin of Asmodeus, who takes down slaves who's run from their chains.
<br />
He could be expressed as a warpriest with a splash of ranger, rogue, slayer or maybe vivisectionist. </p>
<p>Except he couldn't, because then he'd be unable to use what I regard as one of his three main class features.</p>
<p>There are other ways to express the concept, of course. Blackguard(based off of slayer or ranger), Inquisitor and cleric with a dip comes to mind.</p>
<p>But I'd like the warpriest, as a base class, to be able to encompass as many character concepts as possible. Because that's one of the goals of a base class.</p>Lord_Malkov wrote:Okay, let me try this again. What I am trying to communicate is that the fighter who is choosing to use a rapier, choosing a high dexterity over a high strength, choosing light armor over heavy armor, and choosing to focus his feats on that rapier, is making those choices for roleplaying reasons. These are sub-optimal choices, mechanically speaking, that fulfill his roleplaying concept. i am attempting to draw an analogy here that say that the Warpriest who chooses a Deity...Arae Garven (alias of The Dragon)2013-12-08T21:46:31ZRe: Forums: Class Discussion: Warpriest DiscussionArae Garven (alias of The Dragon)https://paizo.com/threads/rzs2qdje&page=46?Warpriest-Discussion#22662013-12-08T21:20:30Z2013-12-08T21:20:30Z<div class="messageboard-quotee">DM Beckett wrote:</div><blockquote> <div class="messageboard-quotee">MrSin wrote:</div><blockquote> <div class="messageboard-quotee">DM Beckett wrote:</div><blockquote> <div class="messageboard-quotee">MrSin wrote:</div><blockquote> Hey, we're on this weapon thing again.
