Ultimate Equipment, Page 256, top right column.

Apparently hasn't been added to the d20pfsrd or PRD.

Yes.

It's in Ultimate Equipment, as Fayth says.


Wait is a Throwing AoMF legal? If so that would be awesome!

Are there enchantments that can't be put on an amulet of mighty fists?

Hmm, I must have mistyped it when I did a search of my UE PDF. This early after the release, I don't trust everything to be available, so I searched the PDF and didn't find it either. That's good to know.

Alternatively, this amulet can grant melee weapon special abilities, so long as they can be applied to unarmed attacks.

You can't 'throw' an unarmed strike.

That's debatable I think. I could think of any number of ways I could explain "throwing an unarmed strike" using magic.


If the AoMF text said "applied to unarmed strikes or natural attacks" it would work. But unarmed attacks are only unarmed strikes, and unarmed strikes can't be detached, or they're no longer unarmed strikes.

Personally, I see no problem with putting Throwing on an AoMF since many creatures have a natural ranged attack, like Manticores for example.

Who said anything about detachment? I picture it like fighting with chi, or using a magical force similar to blood crow strike (at least in regards to unarmed strikes).

I'm still not seeing why you think this wouldn't work. The whole point of the throwing property is to allow melee weapons to work at range when they normally wouldn't.

The only way it would work is if you could throw yourself at someone without moving, because you cannot detach a limb as part of attacking.

Even if you could detach a limb, then the Amulet would no longer effect the limb, as it is no longer part of the body that the Amulet is effecting

Offer is still out for Breadcrumbs the Kobold Cook.

I'd really like to see this one.


Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber; Pathfinder Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

Again, who said detachment and throwing?

I think you guys are getting far too caught up in the name/flavor of things.

CHARACTER UPDATES
- Pollivar Mormont, though technically not updated, now has a 1st-level version of himself, which can be found here. He was made for an upcoming Rise of the Runelords game that my friends will be starting, and thus feature traits from that adventure path's player's guide. He is officially the first 1st-level character in the Emporium. :D
- Sela Kurn is now an even better master dispeller, failing a dispel check against an equally-powerful spellcaster only on a natural 1.


Epic...

And I love Caltrop's 1st Level form.

Meh, I've had to change him up some* since the GM had me roll starting funds rather than use the average (I rolled 100gp, instead of 175 or better, lame).

If you use him, I also recommend replacing his chain shirt with brigandine armor (use the stats for kikko armor). It is both cheaper and offers more protection (though it slows him down a little).

* Though I haven't updated him on here, nor do I plan to.

I have had moments like that... One time I rolled minimum on a Fighter. It was a Low WBL game...


Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber; Pathfinder Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

Clubs and slings was it then? :P


I should clarify by one time I mean yesterday.

The game is postponed for a little bit...

I am being allowed to craft everything for 1/2 its market price if I have the skill trained and can make the DC on a Take 20 preferably Take 10.

Thank god I am going Lore Warden with High Rolled Stats...

I am thinking:
All 0GP weapons.
Pathfinder's Kit.
Armoured Coat.

Unsure on anything else.

I absolutely love intelligent villains who aren't afraid to show off their powers.

The original Hama wouldn't qualify. She kept her water bending powers a necessary secret save on the nights of the full moon.

Maybe not to the Fire Nation, but Hama was certainly eager to show her powers to Katara. In the span of an afternoon and evening, Hama showed Katara how to suck water out of plants, form them into weapons, literally vaporize trees, and even how to bloodbend.

I think that qualifies as eager.

Exactly.


Speaking of Helgur, any chance on a level 20 version of her? :D she's my favorite of them all... Would love to see a level 20 mythic version!


Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber; Pathfinder Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

Level 20 and mythic? You are asking for a lot of work. To do one of those things would take me the better part of a day.

Showing off your powers to one person in 20 years isn't exactly "Unafraid to show off her abilities" She only showed them to Katara because she was looking for a successor. She didn't use her powers in public even during that episode, she did not dare.

I don't think 20+mythic really suits the setting. Not to rehash the "Gandalf is a 5th level MU thread" but not every character we like in a series needs to be considered godlike.

I don't think anyone in that setting gets the mythic tag, save a fully realized Avatar. And perhaps the Lion-Turtle.

BTW if you're looking for a D20 look at these characters, I'd suggest that people search the Element Bending Monk thread that is still up here somewhere.


Helegur is the Lvl 15 Ice Sorceress with a flying Instant Fortress and an army of Troll Simulucrum bodyguards. Hama was the one partially inspired by Avatar: TLA.


Yeah... I never thought oh, Helgur needs to be level 20 because I thought Hama was that awesome. I think Helgur should be level 20 because I like Helgur! I'd level her up myself but i'd just feel dirty doing that, much better to have RD do it... Then print it off and frame it... Use it for musing and such....write some fan fiction... Torture a party of PC's with a level 20 sorcress and an army of level 10 simulacrums bombarding them from Helch Barad.


Methinks Helegur should be at least an NPC in Reign of Winter for anyone who reads this thread and plans on running it.

I am thinking of running a Reign of Winter inspired Campaign and using her as a major NPC.

Oh i wouldn't ever do that. That would require talent and time which i just don't have. I was just trying to come off overly dramatic and comedic about Helgur. I guess that doesn't translate well in text. ;)

CHARACTER UPDATES
- Pollivar Mormont (1st-level variant) has been updated to include a 2-page character backstory that better connects him with the beginnings of the Rise of the Runelords adventure path and has also had a few equipment changes. I don't normally write two-page backstories, but my GM insisted that he know everything there was to know about the character: age, height, weight, family, history, number of hairs on his head, etc.

:P


Can you Whetstone an Arrow! if so that is awesome!

Why not whetstone all of your arrows so they all get the bonus?

It's debatable. I started a thread on it some time ago.

But to answer your question: Time. At 15 minutes per arrow, it would take 5 hours to sharpen a single quiver's worth.


If you do it on downtime that isn't that bad though.

Might only be usable in one or two encounters, but it is plausible.

Durable seems more like it should be an Upgrade for other Arrows...

As it stands you can't have Durable Blunt Arrows or Durable Bladed Arrows...

And that last one might be 3.5...

Wow. Sounds to me like some people in that thread would allow a fiendish creature to punch, but not claw someone warded by Protection from Alginment spells.

I'd allow it.


How does Fultor Spellbreaker have the Magic Resistant and Stubborn racial traits? don't they both replace Hardy?


Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber; Pathfinder Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

CHARACTER UPDATES
- Fultor Spellbreaker
- Meglin Dee
- Naya Foreteller
- Nudel the Protector
- Vallairs Urn

Made several minor layout/formatting adjustments that I had overlooked previously. Added the guided weapon property to druid weapons where beneficial (simply too good to pass up). Meglin had her bear form's speed corrected, as I neglected the speed penalty for wearing medium armor before. Fultor removed Stubborn as it conflicted with other racial traits.

Bad Ravingdork! You're not giving us enough free and total access to amazing character ideas! What's wrong with you?


I am to busy dealing with building 11 Dwarven Rangers, 1 Dwarven Ranger(Trapper), 1 Dwarven Alchemist, 1 Human Wizard, & 1 Halfling Bard(Sandman).

After that I can probably provide some lower level characters for the thread... If Lord Ravingdork is okay with that...

just to let you know i was trying to open Nudel the Protector and it wouldnt bring him up for me. but i havent had any problem with any other character.


Huh... I also can't open him...


Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber; Pathfinder Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

My computer is in the shop at the moment. I will have to fix it later. It probably just didn't get transferred to the server properly.

Fayth, I opened this thread up to other characters a while ago.


Sorry to here that.

& I forgot if you said it was open or not. I mean we are on page 10 of this thread.

I was... I just can't focus on only one thing or my mind shuts down...

I think when you said it I was in the middle of building a Chaacter, Map, or Encounter.

P.S.: On the AotG. You might want to at least drop in... As I made some changes that give you some major options.
