Salaam and good evening, fellow creative types! If you're like me, it didn't take you long after you discovered pathfinder to begin having new ideas to make the game more fun, realistic, challenging, or what have you. Alternatively you could be one (also like me) that read Paizo's class, race, and monster building suggestions and went buck wild with them. Unfortunately, we rarely get to test these ideas because often they need work to be balanced in a campaign, and other players don't want to play along side. I present to you a place where we can discuss our ideas and set up playtest scenarios to have fun with them. For schitts and giggles I have named this Project Prometheus, for the Greek titan who put so much careful thought into one being that its creation took as long as the whole of the animal kingdom.
1: Creative people! It may seem silly, but I'm serious. We're looking for people to have ideas. If you're just there to review or get ideas that's ok, but I'd really prefer everyone have something to contribure eventually.
2: A positive group Yes, sometimes we will have negative critiques, but I hope to foster an attitude of constructive advice. Swearing and other adult content is fine, but if it's gonna make somebody whine, spare us their post and spoiler it.
3: GM's We are gonna want to playtest our ideas, so we need more GM's than just me who are willing to set up and facilitate scenario's to test concepts.
I fully expect and encourage other threads starting from this group, but I'm gonna encourage a "My thread, my rules" policy. It shouldn't matter much, all I intend to do is say when to move a conversation to another thread or stop any argument that gets a little too heated. but when someone starts their own thread, show them the respect of any GM.
I'll probably think of more later, but I wanna go ahead and get this posted. Any takers?
Sure, I'll bite.
... This includes Varient Multiclassing, right?
Sure. This is intended to be a forum for any rulesets or entities to be discussed, tweaked, and tested.
However, I am not familiar with variant multiclassing. care to elaborate/share a link?
Its from Pathfinder Unchained. You can find it in the SRD, under Character Advancement. That, and as well as Stamina and Combat Tricks Optional Rule could be fun to test out.
What about 3rd Party Material?
Hmmm. I've had some reworks I've wanted to do for certain classe sand such I haven't been able to playtest (mainly Monk stuff, in splitting the core Monk into three separate classes and a re-write of the Unchained Monk), could be interesting to have a place to toss them.
I also have a freeform class selection system if anyone's interested, but I'm starting to think it's impossible to perfect.
This seems very interesting. Cool name, by the way
I'd like to try it out
I do have a few homebrewed things I'd like to try out and get some honest opinions on myself. And I'd be more than happy to return the favor. Do we just post the content here, then the internet ravages inspects it?
Edit: If that's the case then I'd like to present the Swordmaster for review. It exists mostly because I wanted to make a melee character who made significant use of Int without spellcasting, as well as style feats with a weapon. I've noticed I could probably cut down on the wording in some areas, but I'm unsure of how.
Wow, very intriguing. I guess I'll throw my hat in the ring. I have a campaign setting with an entire back story, new races, like 9 huge continents, low to high tech, biological warfare, wild to high magic areas, null magic areas. Let's see, humans, dragons, and all knowns races are dead, gone, or have evolved/mutated into new forms. There are unique gods, mostly racial in orientation with a few linked to Golarion deities. It's a work in progress but has quite a bit done, maps and such. Did I mention humans are like ancient bogeymen? Some fun stuff.
I've got a full 1-20 class I could put up (technically you could call it a hybrid, I 'spose) inspired by Rynjin's freeform class document (well-deserved kudos to him).
Is anyone putting up campaigns/scenarios right now?
Its from Pathfinder Unchained. You can find it in the SRD, under Character Advancement. That, and as well as Stamina and Combat Tricks Optional Rule could be fun to test out.
What about 3rd Party Material?
I'd be interested to test out some 3rd party classes and material. I've never gotten the chance to try a lot of the Rogue Genius games classes.
I'm always interested in testing some new things out.
