blood simulacrum of sorshen ability scores inconsistency that i cannot seem to validate: - 25-pt buy base stats*: 7, 13, 13, 18, 10, 17
question -- according to book's stat block, how is she getting?
what am i missing? (did stats forget to include something like a belt of physical perfection +4, but that would make her str at 11?) * from "exceptional stats" special ability ![]()
![]() thx for interesting tactics scenario. some good points. maybe i underestimated the fly. but even with dr/15 and fh 10, party’s damage output can still get his go down pretty quick. here are a few things that nerfs him:
as i see it, he might get a couple of offensive spell in, but most of the time would fly around or ineffectively make melee attacks. once he’s on the ground, he would be susceptible to getting grounded (there is a solid grapple-build pc as well as spells to do this) and be at the mercy of the melee pcs gang-up. i don’t want to run an encounter where he’s in the air all the time, evading attacks until he runs out of spells (his motivation is wrath, insane, and raging to kill party, expends action to fly in and engage in melee whenever spell fails). i also don’t like to run npcs that do things outside of they’re prescribed morale write-up, doing other tactics that i think would be good, but not necessarily tactics npc should take. ![]()

a few questions: - spells: each spell level (1-4), there is an extra spell-per-day stat'd out for him, which would seem consistent per level, but i can't see how. he has 6/5/5/4 (plus an additional specialized spell per level) stat'd out, but in hero lab, it shows he should only have 5/4/4/3 (plus an additional specialized spell per level). - enlarge spell metamagic feat: he has 3 enlarged magic missile and 1 enlarged charm person -- this makes no sense what enlarge spell does; it's not as if he would cast these at targets with 100% range increase (esp. magic missile) for these spells... the party is going to be right there in the room? - why does he have an enchantment spell when he is an evoker and his theme is wrath? - why waste a feat, stat'd him with intensified spell when none of the spells have intensified? - now the kicker: "without his arcane bond, zerrund must succeed at a concentration check (DC = 20 + the spell’s level) when he casts a spell to avoid losing the spell as he casts it" -- **then** "if he fails to cast a spell in this way, his rage compels him to make a slam attack [slam +5 (1d4+1 plus grab)?!!!] against a foe on the next round rather than cast a spell." -- wtf lol it seems the writer attempted to nerf him because he "suffers from an overwhelming sense of wrath that hampers his judgment" -- ok, i'll give you that, but this is just a poor, poor, useless build for the sake of depowering the guy. i know with the current party, he won't stand a chance to to anything at all before getting utterly obliterated -- at best -- after 2 rounds. ![]()

the brawler (ironically) acrobatics into the room quite easily, then with unwavering confidence, flurried with a ghost-touched weapon, beating up each shade for 2 rounds. the shades then realized she was a huge threat, so both creatures spent the following round focusing full-round attacks (2d6 neg energy x2 each) -- 4 consecutive successful touch attacks. i just couldn't see how it was going to be as a cake walk out of that room (as @quixote described the pc's condition quite well). good feedback, all. thx my other thought (counter-argument to myself) was the pcs are meant to be heroic, and each build has something special about it. it's these special focused and trained abilities that would allow the pc to shine in certain circumstances -- be it making a knockout blow, or disabling that crazy-high dc trap, or making that near-impossible concentration check, or escaping certain death through the skin of their teeth with a slim chance of acrobatics maneuver. as much as i agree with a lot of the "beaten up" condition of the pc, i also think pcs can be extra-ordinary and carry out super-natural abilities. it's just a matter of ruling something fair as well as "realistic." ![]()

room and occupants:
w - wall
x is pc with disabled condition (0 hp) who could take a single move action or "non-strenuous" standard action without losing 1 hp at end of turn. action / ruling:
due to this "strenuous" movement, the pc hp would be reduced to -1 hp once movement ended one square east of door. counter-argument: such movement would not drop pc to -1 hp because the pc's build is such that acrobatics skill is very high, ensuring a successful tumbling, even with an addition +2 cmd increase for 2 foes. it could be argued that it is possible to make such movement (per raw) because the pc spent much resources to gain high acrobatics skills for exactly such scenario. thoughts? ![]()

couldn't find quickly rules for how easy / hard to contact with poison when handling a weapon that has poison applied. interested in:
i was told only a measly 5% of contact it (e.g. a pc inadvertently picks up an assassin's blade and it makes contact on herself or an ally). i was thinking pc would easily contact poison if not aware -- as pc grabs that cool weapon after dispatching foe. but it ended up having only 5% of contact, and fort dc 12 (sad rofl) -- poison use sucks on a average adventure then / element of surprise. is there actual rules written somewhere, or is so not worth it that they didn't write anything for it? thx ![]()

the ap is return of the runelord, so naturally i chose the runesage archetype. but at the same time, i had this background idea that this ratfolk wizard felt marginalized by his peers because he didn't do magic the "proper way"... he exploited it and took shortcuts: archetype exploiter wizard (and so he left the academy, drawn by the spike of rune magic / creatures slowly oozing from the town that the pcs are currently based). i use hero lab. according to people there who interpreted these classes (and i trust they know the rules well), the combo of these classes kinda broke things, more so for the runesage. for those who've never used hero lab, essentially, all the rules for the runesage went out the window; mechanically in the app, all the options for this archetype was overrode and disabled. i think this happened because a line from the exploiter wizard's class rule basically disqualified everything for the runesage: [first sentence of this flavor text] Contrary to traditional wizardly study, an exploiter wizard forgoes the tried and true methods of arcane focus and arcane schools for the exploits favored by an arcanist. Some wizards regard this blatant exploitation of arcane magic as somehow “cheating,” but most exploiters believe this prejudice is close-minded and overly traditional. "...forgoes the tried and true methods of arcane focus and arcane schools..." this snippet here, i think, shut down all the prereqs and options for the runesage. can anybody from paizo creative team comment on this? is one of the archetype not supposed to be available when you choose the other? or if you can choose both, what happens to the rules -- does the exploiter wizard rules override the runesage, nullifying that archetype to the point of moot? ![]()

flurry of blows and natural weapons... according to rule, natural weapon attacks are not allowed as additional attacks when making flurry of blows: [last sentence of rule] A monk cannot use any weapon other than an unarmed strike or a special monk weapon as part of a flurry of blows. A monk with natural weapons cannot use such weapons as part of a flurry of blows, nor can he make natural attacks in addition to his flurry of blows attacks. there is this creature: reborn brother (ghoulish human ex-brother of the seal 1/ex-monk 5 (pathfinder rpg horror adventures 248, pathfinder campaign setting: paths of prestige 14) in the stats for melee attack:
after "or" all the attacks are separated by commas, and per paizo pf convention, comma means "and" when used this way. so, this creature would be able to flurry of blows and bite and claws in a full round action attack. so, is this a special attack this creature has, or did writer overlooked the flurry of blows rule? ![]()

Once per day, you can spend 10 minutes to magically heal an ally up to 5 Hit Points per mystic level. is it: a) healing 1 hp per mystic level, and max at mystic level 5 for 5hp? (so mystic 1 heals 1 hp, mystic 2 for 2 hp, etc, maxing at mystic 5 for 5hp?) or b) healing 5hp per mystic level with no max mystic level? (so mystic 1 heals 5hp, mystic 2 heals 10hp, etc, to max mystic level 20 for 100hp?) "up to 5 hit points per mystic level" -- which "up to" sounds like another variable besides the level? the wording of it all confuses me. ![]()

i’m making a concept multi-class build, projecting it to 10 levels: envoy5 / mystic5. these 2 classes have a mix of abilities / features that i think play up well with my concept: *very* loosely based on rocket raccoon from marvel’s guardians of the galaxy — have a knack for using computers and creating mechanical devices from piecemealing junk and parts. the added ability is healing but not being a full-time medic. so a chaotic neutral / good gregarious, fast-talking ysoki who bluffs her way out of situations or to get what she wants. let me know what you think of these highlights — base stats, not accounting for any magic/enhacement/etc items: - healing: high; social: high; knowledge: high; control: moderate; offense: low; defense: low
the build *feels* solid on paper, but i haven’t played enough sf to know how it would play out, whether it might be too weak or too diluted/diversified at level 10. i don’t care to build min/max pcs, but maybe there are other mixes of abilities and such that could work even better together which strengthen the concept. ![]()
![]() @doctorzorkfield you’re right that the medpatch +10 bonus is nullified when used in conjunction with medical expert feat, which i understood, and was another reason why i think it’s weak and not worth it. the only “benefit” is being able to performing the skill “faster.” perhaps it could be worthwhile if that synergy brought the dc to 20, or allowed the medpatch to keep the +10, or some other benefit [shrug]. as you mentioned, and i’d agree with assessment: it sucks and is useless at lower level. with lower medicine skill bonus, hitting that dc 25 is not easy. i haven’t played enough to know exactly how it would be more useful/worthwhile at higher level. right now, i’m giving the feat a big fat thumb’s down (lol) ![]()
![]() @zaric you def have a point. no, it’s not the best way to do it, but i’m trying to weigh the benefits and want to feel convinced it’s worth it. (not sure why you x2 cost of serums tho: 20 serums = 1000 cr?) the way i see it though, a medpatch is also a one-time use, like the serum, to provide heal, but require *additional* resources (feat, skills, melkit, etc) to make it effective. per use, it costs as much as a serum, but serum doesn’t require any other resources besides simply 50 cr. so yea, i’d rather spend credit on other stuff, but the way medpatch is ruled (cost per use) and how it isn’t effective on its own to treat deadly wounds like a serum is kinda weak. even with a medpatch plus medical expert feat, dc is still 25. besides my still thinking it’s not worth it, i am also imagining a scenario: ally gets wounded during heated combat. healer (my build), healing abillities/powers spent, runs up, using full action (actually can’t run up to ally because it’s a full action, so healer has to already be adjacent), and pulls out medkit *and* medpatch (not even sure if there’s any actions left allowed to pull out all that stuf at this point). attempts a heal a wound (on ally who’s currently, say, in a sword fight!) with 50% chance of success on dc 25 for 5 hp. all in one round (lol). just all seems so silly and hard to feel immersive in role playing. whereas another more “realistic” scenario: healer runs up next to ally and injects healing serum with a standard action. either way, expending 50 cr. there is no getting around not expending the medpatch at 50 cr. ![]()
![]() @breithauptclan the +10 not allowed is from feat restriction, not gm’s ruling, and i already know the math for the cost and healing hp variables... not sure if you understood and answered my question. you think the resources needed (medical expert feat, medicine skill boost, 150+ credits in equipment, and 5 levels of mystic — build in option 1) to maxing a healing of 9 hp is *balanced* with spending no resources except 50-100 cr for possible 2-16 hp (in option 2)? if in combat and out of heal spells, i am just not seeing how it wouldn’t be better just to load up on a bunch of serums to treat deadly wounds, rather than building/allocating (at this point, useless) feat and (wasting) skill points to achieve such minimal gains. furthermore, the restrictions and high dc to fanagle for treating deadly wounds in option 1 has about 50% to work to gain 5hp, if lucky 9hp at 25%, whereas serum is 100% sure thing despite the variable amount of heal. ![]()
![]() .
so, i’m building a healer-as-secondary ability and wanted to see how it would look at 5th level, and with all the things mentioned above set up (feat, skill, equipment, etc.). the pc has +4 int bonus and +14 medicine bonus. here’s the thing: with this build and best case scenario (i.e. result medicine roll exceeded 5 of dc 25 — which would be around, like what, 25% chance?), i can heal a fellow 5th companion a max of 9 hp (1 hp x 5 levels + my pc’s int mod), according to treat deadly wounds rule. if the above is correct, would someone please convince me why i would want to spend 50 cr on a medpatch (one time use, that won’t allow +10 to med check) + 100 cr on a med kit (dc 25, which is no joke), plus picking up a medical expert feat, and plus boosting my medicine skill, to make sure i have a better chance of hitting dc 30, to heal max 9 hp... as opposed to... 50 cr on a serum of healing mk1 for 1d8 healing? or maybe 2 for 2d8 for 100 cr? outside of the feat benefit of taking only a full action yaddy yaddy ruling (doesn’t administering a serum take a standard anyway?), how would the first option outweigh the second so drastically and be deemed better? i’m a bit new to starfinder so forgive me if i got something wrong, but what am i *missing*?! ![]()

from your text -- emphasizing hit points -- i don't think you get what it is. it has no hit points. there is not a mention of hit points. it's the kineticist's imagination, "a fragment of your element," a thought (that magically/supernaturally/whatever manifests physically for any period of time). the description refers to rules for a familiar to use as guideline to create the "familiar," but it is *not* a physical being. when it's manifested, it has stats, but practically for other mechanics except hit points. it's basically a thought bubble, and those don't have hit points. it winks out whether it takes one damage or 1 million. it doesn't matter. there is not hit point rules, i.e. "a dead familiar (because it's not)," "kill it", or "takes enough damage," or "healed," or "keeps the damage," or "regen," or "wait to be healed," or "heal all the damage naturally (it's not even natural in a biological form)" -- none of it applies. it either exists or it does not. nothing in between in terms of measurable/trackable hit points. it does not have hit points in or out of your mind because -- yes -- it's just a thought. okay, now that i've beaten that dead horse, i think you are still missing the point. ![]()

If not I don't quite understand the point of this anymore. well, yea, i would. so far, the feedback has been people don't think it's a problem so i haven't gotten any suggestions -- ones that would alter the rule for this ability but not make it any more or less, if that makes sense. i've been thinking about it all day: since this is a mental ability that manifests physically (the "familiar" attacks, it sets off traps, etc), it would then tax the kineticist in a psychosomatic way if it's overused, especially if it takes damage. so, mechanically, there would have to be a point system to use per day, not unlike grit or arcane pool, or somehow tied to constitution. simple version: points available for use calculated same manner as other classes that use points per day moderately complicated: if familiar takes damage, it would blink out as currently ruled (among default rules). however, when it can be "re-imagined" depends on the amount of damage that was inflicted. if damage amount inflicted was: - less than or equal kineticist's level (minimum of 1) -- anytime if in encounter as swift action
this would translate to roughly at-will, 5-7 times per day, 3 times per day, and once per day. this would discourage kineticist to send familiar anywhere haphazardly, and treat and protect it like the precious and fragile thing that a familiar is. it's shouldn't generally be used like a more robust animal companion. so, e.g. if 2nd level kineticist with 19 hp, 1 point of inflicted damage on familiar is manageable, can immediately re-imagine into existence; 10 points of damage would take 2 hours minimum to re-imagined; and massive high-damage from falling rock (3d6) trap would psychosomatically shock the kineticist, needs rest to re-imagine. keep in mind this is rough sketch of solutions, especially the moderate version. ![]()

@doomman47: don’t mean to sound snippity at your question, but maybe you need to know what the elemental whisper is; when you do, your question will answer itself. (short answer: it’s a low-level ability and winks outs when it takes *any* damage. and that’s exactly what i’m trying to say: it’s a low-level resource — actually not even: costing but a thought — to break a high-level trap). ![]()

party comes to a hallway, maybe/maybe not detects the whole stretch is full of explosive runes. sends elemental whisper down the hall. it sets off a rune. okay party thinks maybe there are more runes/traps. it’s summoned again and repeats, at-will. broken. say party has no rogue (or disable device skill) and has a caster to detect/dispel magic; this takes up resources and has chances of not successfully dispelled. party needs to come up with other solutions. this is more acceptable and balanced for me, where as the elemental whisper exploit is just, well, game-breaking. ![]()
![]() .
yes, elemental whisper is very limited, but do you see the loophole with the trap thing tho? i guess maybe it might be just me seeing it as problematically unbalanced, how traps are too easily and freely bypassed to be allowed at low levels. like i said, i will have to think about how to close that loophole. i appreciate the feedback. ![]()

this is a phytokineticist -- can shoot stuff, but that expends resources, where as a telekineticist, as you pointed out, would be great at manipulating objects for free and with practically no expense of resources (i.e. limited power uses per day, magic item expending rounds, etc., etc) my point here is not how it's done. however, there still needs to be:
to name a few obstacles that require the party using resources and/or skills. whereas the "familiar," there is nothing (or practically negligible) expended: no need to even detect the trap -- just send the thing 30-60 feet ahead, it sets off traps, summon another, rinse and repeat for unlimited amount of times, with no "summoning" duration limitation. you don't thinks that's broken? i think what i might want to house rule is find a similar spell and restrict it to uses per day. i just think it's "too good" for especially lower level party to have. ![]()

So I'm not sure a disposable familiar is much worse on that front. i don't think this is a sensible response and doesn't address the issue presented. in response to your comparison: - a thing of water is not sentient/intelligent. the "familiar" is with a 7 int; it can be instructed to move around and explore on its own, sending back information - the water has to be manipulated by someone, i.e. the person has to come into the trap's proximity and possibly setting off an area trap - it was mentioned that this encounter (where the trap is) was underwater, so your water idea makes not sense the problem at hand, and you mentioned it exactly, is the disposable "familiar." ![]()
![]() my bad for overlooking the wrong forum... ok thx for pointing out the concentration part, but you still don’t think it’s broken about the trap off-setting part? that’s like having a rogue disable device ability, here failing at the check but essentially succeeding, with zero repercussions — imagine, say a more lethal pit trap (the trap that was set off was no joke either — falling rocks at +10 for 3d6 at level 2) or at higher level with explosive runes or symbol of whatever spells (i’m obviously ignoring the reset aspect)— but the party not having nor rely on any trap skills, got forewarned, and prob bypassing unscathed? there’s no cost except for a thought to freely “conjure” it literally any time (not like the limit of spells per day use), repeatedly and limitless during the day. and precisely as you said: but even if it were a real goat, there’s limitations there — bringing a bunch of goats everywhere, especially underwater, is not doable, or even summoning goats at-will isn’t possible at level 2. the point is, it shouldn’t be that free and simple. which is why i think it’s broken. ![]()

i keep rereading the rules and everything basically says it smells like a familiar, looks like a familiar, and walks like one (except for a few things), but it’s not a familiar. but nowhere, that i can interpret, there is raw that if it dies, it would take time to be brought back — like a week and gp for a familiar. here is the potential problem:
if all the above is true, it’s broken. one of my players sent it chasing after an enemy into an area. it inadvertently set off a trap. it took damage and blinked out of existence. party is safe and sound. trap is disabled. player immediately “summons” it again. players are ecstatic to have learned this loophole. am i missing something, or is this a freebie trap off-setter? ![]()

i am volunteering to gm for a bunch of teens at local library. they have been assigned pfs numbers; however, some have not gone online and registered at paizo.com. due to their being early teens, some are restricted to certain online activities (be it being grounded from using internet; not tech savvy enough to go online to register; simply being a teen and things like this doesn't seem important; and among other reasons -- all legitimate and realistic restrictions) that prevents their pfs number being activated. up until pathfinder core was introduced (and the reporting system was reprogrammed to accommodate it), i was able to report a roster of pcs, whether their pfs numbers were activated or not. now, i can no long do this: the system requires pcs pfs numbers to be "live" to save out and register the reporting. also, i cannot make any edits to previous reporting sessions for the same reason; they are pretty much locked down. is there a fix or workaround to this in the works? if not, what recommendations/solutions does paizo have for a gm in my situation? i would like to have access to my gm credits as soon as i've done a session. thanks. ![]()
