Anyone have either of those files? The links are dead.

Looks like Rogue Eidolon's cleric guide was removed from google drive for ToS violation. Anybody happen to save a copy?

I have it here.

I backup (almost) all of them daily. Let me know of any others are missing.

Is there any interest in me continuing this, or perhaps advice?

102.

While wading through muddy water have them feel things moving and bumping against their legs.

Bonus points to actually have something brush against their legs while giving the description. How loud is that remote control Roomba?

Ha! I'm running that right now. The PCs love it!

Did they say "oh f-" ?

They were stunned for a moment, then "That's f-ing awesome!"

Careful - that's 10,200 experience points you're potentially giving them.

So make it a swarm?

Quickened Ill Omen + Persistent Blindness/Deafness? Hope you can make 4 consecutive saves, buddy.

Even if the opponent CAN negate it on their turn, Quicken Spell alone makes it worthwhile.

That's my plan for my next feat as my Dual Cursed Oracle. Quicken Ill-Omen followed by one of Waves of Ecstasy, Chains of Light (favorite as they can't take actions until they beat the save), Greater Forbid Action, Serenity, Debilitating Portent, Charitable Impulse, or Reach Bestow Curse.

It occurs to me that I need some non-will save attack spells.

Maybe use the hit die of your favored class?

That is just too simple. I love it.

I really love this guide - nobody talks about the Vigilante :(

Isn't that the whole point? I mean, if we talk about it too much, Keyser Soze will get us.

DATE NOT FOUND; FILE NOT FOUND (DEAD LINK; self-described as Core only): Rogue Eidolon's Guide to Fighters (Core only)

I have this one. It says 2014-06-18, but it's likely older than that. I think that's when I made my copy. I PMed a link to Zenith.

So even though it was my turn to GM next, another person in my group volunteered to run Hell's Rebels (because I guess "Standing up against an evil empire" scratches a specific cathartic itch now), and I really kind of want to build a vigilante (probably an avenger) that uses a whip and spends a lot of time in combat tripping people.

How terrible an idea is this? I don't want AP spoilers, but I want to know if "I'm going to build for tripping" is a terrible idea here.

whats the rest of the party composistion? if there are 2 or more ranged characters or one or more dedicated ranged character tripping would srew them over royaly if the party is entirely melee or has a single none dedicated ranged character go ham with the tripping

A Guide for Trip Builds in Pathfinder

Unless you are fighting humanoids alot, your CMB will fall behind without help. Dirty Fighting will help, as will Fury's Fall. A Dueling (PSFG) Leveraging Whip with the best enhancement bonus you can get will help a great deal. Also look at a Dusty Rose (normal or cracked) Ioun Stone in a wayfinder. You may also want Combat Stamina and Agile Maneuvers so you can trip larger things sometimes.

I have a Fighter 18 /Maneuver Master Monk 2 that will hit CMB 72 on trips before flanking and buffs, and trip any size opponent. An Avenger Vigilante 20 should be able to get close to that, say, 67. Of course, that is going to eat many if your feats (9-ish). You can get 4 of those as vigilante talents.

Given this is a "We hate maneuvers" thread, if you want to know more, make a new thread, and I'll post the builds.

Also, Hand’s Detachment, the Best Mauler Familiar, ever.

What would be PERFECT should be a sheet for Spheres of power things. Not a new character sheet for each classe, but at least 1 sheet where you can put your spheres, your talents, caster level, spell pool, ...

Vote for Spheres of Power has been noted. I do actually keep a big list of all the stuff people ask for most often, even if I only work my way through the list slowly.

you can go ahead and put in a vote from me as well then.

And me, as well.

Aiming for level 13 with continued progression to 18.

Traits: Irrepressible, Varisian Tattoo
Feats: Extra Revelation (Lore (Lorekeeper)), Noble Scion (War), weapon focus (starknife), Divine Fighting Technique (Desna), Quickdraw, Point Blank, Precise Shot, Rapid Shot, Startoss Style, Startoss Comet, Startoss Shower, Deadly Aim, Far Shot
Lore Oracle 1 w/ Sidestep Secret

I don't know after that. I would like Bard or Bard VMC for Versatile Performance (Dance) and Bardic Knowledge.

That would give me Cha to hit, damage, all reflex, important will, knowledge checks (with bardic knowledge), and Acrobatics/Fly.

12+ feats and VMC means Fighter or Warpriest. I'll favor Warpriest as i am replacing a life oracle. Also, Antihero.

Attack should be 9 bab + 9 cha + 4 weapon training + 5 weapon + 2 bardsong + 1 point blank - 3 deadly aim + 1 weapon focus for 26/26/21 attack.

Damage should be 1d6 + 5 weapon + 9 cha + 4 weapon training + 2 bardsong + 1 point blank + 6 deadly aim + 6 startoss style for + 3 for divine power = 1d6 + 33

Blinkback Belt, Cha Headband, and Dueling Gloves Assumed.

Thoughts on how I can do it better?

I downloaded it a while ago. April 6th or so.

Go to https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7y1bJwiGxOQOXpmdzJGOUxndnM

Let's not to roll vs role playing here, ok? There are thousands of threads on thousands of boards about that very subject.

Is there anywhere to find a pile of NPCs of various levels?

3. A big ol book of Sphere Combination examples would be pretty awesome. "You want pathfinder X spell? Here's how to do it!

This.

What I do not want is a new sphere. Any idea you want I'm sure could be incorporated into another sphere.

A new sphere would likely just cannibalize ideas.

And this.

N. Jolly, the internet will lament the loss of your guides. They're always top-notch reads.

Don't worry, I back them up. They won't be lost.

The problem I have with it is not the errata itself, but the source.

This is an excellent candidate for an FAQ or APG errata. Putting it in OA is a horrible place. If I want to PFS, and I have the CRB, APG, and FAQ, I don't have all the rules that interact with my character.

Haven't heard anyone using this guide, but hopefully this is helping people.

Now you have. Me. :)

NEW CHARACTER CONTRIBUTION

From Skylar Malik:

Venture Captain Nael Hissen, 20th-level half elf qinggong zen archer and evangelist

I'm told it's a PFS legal character.

I have almost that exact character. The only difference is I shoehorned in the Improvisation feats, totaling up to +10 in every skill I have no ranks in, and I can use them all untrained. It's 3 feats and half-elf, but it works nicely.

Hi Vagrant Dog's GM. I'm Mark Seifter, and I designed the kineticist class. Kinetic blast doesn't require a save unless you use a version that specifies one, just like Vagrant Dog said. The save DC is for things like an AoE blast with Reflex half or a substance infusion that adds a status effect.

I <3 Mark.

Someone made up a chart somewhere of the crazy differences in how fast classes advanced over levels. It was really kind of funny.

==Aelryinth

2nd ed Level Chart

How does this qualify for Draconic Defender with a CON of 9 when you need 17?

You have a knack for placing yourself between your enemies and those they wish to harm.

Prerequisite: Con 17, Toughness

Benefit: During your action, designate an ally within your reach. When you fight defensively or use Combat Expertise, your ally gains a natural armor bonus to AC equal to the dodge bonus you gain from fighting defensively or Combat Expertise. You can select a new ally on any action. Allies who move out of your reach lose this natural armor bonus.

If every body part counts as an Unarmed Strike, can I make a tea bag coup de grâce?

Yes... with bonus points for style.

Dislike. I don't want to live in a world of deadly tea bags.

Just play the Sphinx, and be terribly mysterious.

You get multiple uses per day, yes, however it specifically states that you can change form as a standard action at any time during that duration. So by level 6 or so you have 3 uses of 6h which equates to a full day almost of being whatever you want, whenever you want.

I don't see how that works under the first paragraph of Shapeshanger. It looks like it is simply explaining that using the ability is a standard action.

There are some 40 base classes in Paizo's published material, plus I don't know how many Prestige Classes. Just looking at the former, if each has say half a dozen archetypes (there may be more, I don't know) that's well over 200 possible character concepts in the game, even before you add in third party options. It's hard enough to choose amongst all those possible concepts, and now you want players to do extensive math to see if their character is "viable"? Whatever happened to just playing the game?

I don't think the purpose if this article is to go over every possible build. It's more about seeing if the build you want to play can do it's job.

I can try and role play a great and powerful warrior, but if I can't hit the broadside of a flatfooted barn, I'm going to quickly get frustrated.

So lets say I want to be a marathon runner. What number am I looking for? A quick googling puts blue at somewhere around 2.5 hours. Green is about 3, 5 hours would be Orange, and 8 hours would be red.

If I'm going to make it my thing, I need to be at least Orange, and professionally, at least Green. At the Olympic level, I should go home if I can't do blue. If I'm doing it just to do it, red is just fine, though I shouldn't expect awards.

Training (kinda like the running and endurance feats feats) and gear (proper diet, energy gels, lightweight running shoes, moisture wicking clothing, and bandaids for sensitive areas) can help up my time.

All of that said, play a character you enjoy. Some people like to play the numbers game. Some don't. Let people play the way they want to.

I'll stick that in there if you like.

If you have a link with average cmb/cmd per CR I'll do that, but this values are not in the link in the original document

EDIT :

I've found This Document with CMD and CMB and I added it, using the same rules as AC/attack for the color.

I'm not really sure of the exactitude of this informations ...

Thank you for CMB/CMD! :)

For those who are afraid of math I made this :

Pathfinder benchmark
You just have to select a CR and fill the blank and it compute everything and show the colors.

I need to add an option for iterative attack ...

How about including CMB/CMD for us maneuver build lovers?

I'm Landfill's twin brother Gill. I feel like I know you guys so well already, so we won't have that awkward get to know you phase. In fact, you can just call me Landfill.

Which, by the way, doesn't seem to be online anywhere, except in a bug report on www.d20pfsrd.com (dated 2 days ago). (And Archives of Nethys appears to be still in stasis.)

Actually, Weaponmaster Handbook is Archives of Nethys, he just hasn't updated the starting page yet. He posts more frequent updates on Facebook.

Martial Focus

You're not taking accuracy into account with your DPR.

Use this to check DPR options.

How often does soft-cover from your fellow party members being in the way come up?

There's a Feat for that.

Phalanx Formation.

It's an older archetype that has been done better with the experience gained over time?

It's from Weapon Master Handbook. Didn't that just come out?

I am unable to tell what you are suggesting. Are you suggesting it's good? Bad? A weird mix?

I mean, Free-style looks like it's giving up a lot compared to the Martial Master archetype (and it is), but unlike the Martial it comes online immediately, and pretty much as a solid advantage until level five - while the MM has one more "constant" feat, the Free-style can have any feat needed, when needed.

The other benefit that Martial lacks is the Style mastery ability. While the Martial can "fake it" with a Weapon Focus ability, the Free-style can have multiple styles active at the same time, while the Martial still has to focus on a single weapon.

I'm saying it's awful. You have to give up SO much to do be a Free-Style Fighter. Just play Master of Many Styles 1/Brawler X or and you come out ahead.

Maybe I should ask how it compares to other things. I don't see how it could be good, or even fair, compared so similar things that already exist.
