Angry Baby Barbarian


Advice


is there rules for children pc's? I was thinking of an angry baby barbarian?


I know the new ultimate campaign has young characters in it.

Grand Lodge

Young (adolescent) characters yes, Squalling infant characters, no.


how young does Paizo consider Adolescent? I am going for a younger than young justice. ie toddler barbarian

Scarab Sages

All I can think of is this.

Dark Archive

I believe the human adolescent starting age is 8 + (dice).

Shadow Lodge

Paizo only allows NPC classes for adolescent characters, so no toddler barbarian.

And for humans you're starting at age 8. So also no toddler barbarian.

Some GMs will ignore the first one, but you're unlikely to get a GM to lower the starting age for a kid barbarian.


Also, if I remember right, the rules for Kid PCs restrict you to NPC classes anyway, because Paizo wanted to disappoint everyone.

Seriously, they advertised it as 'Hey you know those kid heroes like Aang and Harry Potter and stuff? Well now you can be them!" and then they released it...


why does it matter a kobold is practically a child with scales?


and I was in no way going for any thing Ang or H0arry Potter related. I was more thinking of my 3 year old and her pure destructive nature


A Kobold is small,thats about the only thing Kobolds and babies have in common,well unless you mean a Kobold cooking pot.

While a Kobold might have a -4 to Str a human baby/toddler would have 3 as a max stat and only age would help in that department.

Really this is one of those threads I know I should stay the heck away from. Even the idea of human babies with knives running around stabbing things is gonna be explosive to some people and for sure talking about monsters running around stabbing babies is going to draw nuclear flame.

Just stop before this madness gets me banned or something.

That's true enough, but I feel like a rugrats-style adventure played RPG-style could be pretty interesting.

"I try to sneak past the hall monitor." "Roll a stealth check."

Granted, GURPS is probably better for that type of thing than a combat-focused system like Pathfinder, but I bet things could be adapted easily enough.

Just a nitpick, but all of the GURPS games I've played have been incredibly combat focused. Maneuvers, called shots, dodging, parrying, blocks, DR, passive defense checks, Critical hits and misses, and so on. Maybe it just because the combat rules were so much more realistic than the 2nd edition/3.0 fare we had at the time, but we we in combat all the time in every GURPS game we played, and my old game group used it as our system of choice.

As for the baby game, I'd say go with something rules-lite like Fate.

Sounds like every barbarian I have played with!


I guess in a world where dudes can punch through plate mail on a bathrobe. A child rager would not be such a big deal. It is basically a template more or less?
I could get lucky and roll a few 18 s. I think the commoner class ideas makes nonsense.
