Looking for DM & Group for Pathfinder 1e High Level game

[pdragon]

Well crafting feats give you half off right?

[Blinkin]

Well, that would be nice, getting deft maneuvers in replacement for weapon finesse. Like Unchained Rogue, goth classes get it as a class feature at 1st level, so I don't see any reason that it wouldn't support a swashbuckler as well... That does mean that I got another feat opening up, but who am I to complain?

Thanks!

Don't quote me on this, but I believe the DM is doing things slightly differently this time round.

I had a giantess curse on the original list, but I'd dropped it for the first Shadowspire game.

Just like the miniaturized, it would affect the character 1-3 sizes except they'd get bigger instead of smaller.  So a medium sized character could end up large, huge, or gargantuan though they'd permanently be set to that size.
A reduce person would only shrink them to huge for example.

Granted anything over huge wouldn't fit inside the city at all...and huge would only be able to squeeze into large public buildings (cathedrals, large dining halls, places like that).

[pdragon]

Would taking the curse give you the same stats as the enlarge/reduce spells? (+/- strength and dex, etc)

Also I just stumbled upon the hat of disguise. It's only 12,000 and lets you use alter self, which specifically lets you turn into a medium creature instead of changing size categories.

Yes.  The curse change would be permanent too so a reduce person cast on a giant cursed character would reduce them to huge, large, or medium.

A true giantess would get +6 strength, -6 dexterity, -4 size adjustment to attack and defense, 20ft natural reach, stand over 42ft tall, and weigh 36 tons...(gargantuan based on the average human female).

A true minigirl would get -6 strength, +6 dexterity, +4 size adjustment attack and defense, must enter target's space to attack, stand around 8 inches tall, and weigh about 4 ounces. (diminutive based on the average human female)

As for the hat, I think it was intended for medium sized creatures to use.  That said I'm going to modify the spell's effect - the wearer may assume a humanoid form within 1 size category of their natural form.  More than that should require a polymorph, otherwise it would be rather difficult to locate intelligent giant creatures.  They'd all be able to hide anywhere with their disguised hats of disguise.

Max for first level, roll every level after that with a minimum of average hp.

For a d8, would "average" hp be 4, 4.5, or 5?

[mjrbatou]

d6 = 3.5
d8 = 4.5
d10 = 5.5
d12 = 6.5

I've always wanted to play a pixie. Imagine a stretchy curse put to the limit. loler

Alas, there isn't a pixie option in Pathfinder and the race creation system confuses the hell out of me.

That's actually a character I was building alongside my first one that I was considering. If you start with Gathlain: a small fey race that begins with flight, and grab some size reduction you can easily get them down to diminutive. It's even easier for this game since there's an optional curse to reduce your size for free. So you can totally do a pixie-esque build.

Ignoring some of the pixie's many spell like abilities, except the at will invisibility, they come out to 30 race points.  That's over double the average tiefling and 3x a human.  At the current party level there'd be no level adjustment even at the higher race points so...this is what I came up with for a pc pixie in a party above level 10.

Fey creature type
Small size with advanced ability score modifiers : -4 str, +6 dex, +2 each int, wis, and cha
speed 20ft, fly speed 60ft (good)
spell resistance equal to 11+class level
damage reduction 5/cold iron
can use greater invisibility at will


If you wanted to play a smaller, humanoid shaped fey another option is a sprite.  They start at diminutive size, but being cursed as a giant would bring them up to medium size (diminutive - tiny - small - medium).  Sprites are also an improved familiar option for classes with familiars.

The Gathlain does have a character creation option that makes it easier to play one, so there is that.

Yeah, I tried to make a moderately pixish pixie once but it was way,way outof the human range for points. I didn't need all of the special pixie elements, is it could fly and be effect in some way, I would of been satisfied. so, thanks for the suggestions. I don't think that I have time to rework a new character before this game begins. In a smutty game, not sure if anyone would want a cocksleeve like that anyway.

still, very worth looking at all options; they'tre be other games. A pixie warpriest?? maybe a bard...

What the hell, it'll be fun to see what comes out

that's why I like having a sprite as a familiar or choosing a different race for a cohort, the options available are much greater for interests like becoming a cocksleeve without actually being used as one every session or all the time.

[indarkestknight]

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd be down to have my ogre/troll-sized eidolon take a Tinkerbell (or should I say Tinkerbelle?) to pound town.

[pdragon]

I'm also good with fairy sized characters

[Blinkin]

Ok, I'm going going to try to create a pixie and see what happens.

MJ, any chance that she could retain the pixie dust racial ability? It's just so much fun to play with it for a mischievous little thing. I'm thinking ablut a bard; I've never played a full on bard before.

pixie dust ok, just not the special arrows or other direct effects.

Though using pixie dust as a descriptior for some spells like flare or glitterdust will work too.

[Muse]

  I'm excited. 

  Sorry if I'm lagging behind again.  I had a birthday game to run.  Had to put it together.  i should be back at this tomorrow. 

[Blinkin]

a  bard with healing spells, and a butt load of tricks. I settled on a Fey Trickster for an archetype and while I found some fun st level spells, so far, nothing really mischievous otherwise. Still, should be fun.

[pdragon]

Quick question. My tiefling character will be an oracle, and I was wondering if it would be ok to use this 3rd party feat for her. Strange Revelation

[Callie Del Noire]

d6 = 3.5
d8 = 4.5
d10 = 5.5
d12 = 6.5

I like half+1, makes it simpler and easier to keep balanced.

[Vergil Tanner]

I have discovered that Alchemists can make surprisingly good Golem constructors. They can pick up a Discovery that makes them use the same Craft Skill for EVERY construct in existence, which is an advantage. If you're level 10, you can get...

Ranks +10
Class Skill +3
Int +6
Skill Focus +3
Alchemical Lab +2
Artisan Trait +2
Assistant Aid Another +2 (Promethean Alchemists can get a Homunculus Assistant, so that's guaranteed in their case)

That's a +28 at level 10. If you use the Crafter's Fortune, you get a +5 on one check. If you get the Discovery Material Mastery, you reduce the DC increase for missing components from +5 to +2. If you take the Patient Calm Trait, whenever you take a 10 on one Craft skill, you act as if you rolled a 12 instead. So at level 10, with all those buffs added up, that would be a 45 on the check.
I challenge you to find me a construct whose DC that wouldn't blast straight through (considering the reduction from +5DC to +2 DC) even if all of the spell requirements were being ignored. xD

[Muse]

 

Well, i didn't take all of those things... 

But my constructs are most of what i have left to make. 

And my alchemy is +36. 

Before Crafter's fortune! 

Any suggestion for things i might make besides animate objects?"  AT this level? 

[Vergil Tanner]

How the hell did you get +36? xD

Poppets are good, inexpensive slaves. If you give a Small one Mighty and Hauling, suddenly you have a Small creature that can hoist like...1000lbs+ xD And you can use them as scouts, if you take a tiny one and give it flight or swim or whatever.
At level 13...you should be Caster Level 12, so I've always liked Clockwork. They're a little pricier, but if you don't have access to Mending or Make Whole, you can get a pretty inexpensive Clockwork Servant or two that can whizz around repairing your bigger boys.

[Vergil Tanner]

Also, Terracotta Soldiers. They boost each other's stats when they're adjacent to each other, and after one round of combat their weapons get the "Keen" attribute. Outfit them with something like a Scimitar or a Falchion, and watch them Crit everybody in sight. A squad of three or four of them together, each critting on 15s and boosting each other's AC is a pretty scary sight xD
