As a Tsundere Storm Druid, I will shock things. And, I guess, I'll heal you some. Don't get the wrong idea, though. It's not like I like you or anything.

Re: Out Of Context

In all honesty, that's kind of an aspiration rather than what will probably come out in full, I just got the wordplay for it in mind ages ago when I first read the PF2e  core, and am finally trying it out :D

Re: Out Of Context

If the GM wants to get a name for the settlement, maybe we could all start maybe contributing ideas for one notable establishment (related or not to our character, maybe it should be something our character frequents) and an NPC idea or two  for that location  to help the GM 'build' the hometown to have stuff we'll want to engage with in it?

(@GM, if the idea of having a bunch of NPCs handed to you worries you there's one cool piece of advice I've found to try - try taking the idea outlines of NPCs that seem like they'd fit and merge them to create one more interesting NPC.)

Just spitballing an idea to help the GM build stuff for the main setting, though, if the GM has other intents or plans to do it, I'm all for it too.

Re: Out Of Context

Hello.

Tremble before the mighty Guardian of Autumn's Harvest

...a three-foot Leshy with a pumpkin head here to solve your lack-of-Barbarian problems.

You can call him Jack.

Re: Out Of Context

You guys should definitely think of town features and NPCs you'd like to meet. If you want, you're welcome to tell me what portrait you think would be a good fit.

I've got a busy day but I should be able to get some more posts up later today or tomorrow for sure. So please feel free to blow the threads up and talk things out while I'm away. I may be the GM but I think its cool to take as much input from the players first before writing things in stone :)

Welcome to our new players as well!

One of them wishes to play an 11 year old girl, so I'll need to check on rpols guidelines to make sure its feasible if you know anything about where that like is drawn let me know and I'll look at the site policies.


Also, we now have 9 players and a possible 10th, who wants to play a more frontline character but is still working things out. So we may end up being a 2 party game but everyone will all start together.

RPoL faqs (maturepolicy)

Essentially: Don't imply anything naughty anywhere in the general direction of the young character and it's not really a huge issue.

Re: Out Of Context

First off - Heck yes pumpkin barbarian! I love it!

Second - Sani beat me to it, but the TOS is pretty clear on what is and isn't okay for a mature game, and RP'ing a child is fine as long as it doesn't break any site rules. It'll be an interesting character choice, that's for sure.

Re: Out Of Context

So, I need some advice from persons better versed in the rules.

I'm looking into the Giant Instinct for Barbarians, which let's me drag around a "large" weapon and use it in combat.

However it doesn't look like this actually gives any benefits to the weapon.  There's some talk of "upgrading the damage dice" or "giving the weapon 'reach'" on the internet.  But I can't find it anywhere in the rules proper.

So, my questions are threefold.
1. IS there any benefit to wielding a large weapon inherent to the weapon itself?
2. Does reach stack? I've got a feat that gives me stretchy-arms (and therefore reach), if I wield a polearm does that give me 15 feet of reach?
3. If there is no reason to take the Giant Instinct, which would you recommend I take instead?
I'm divided be between the Dragon (because the only thing better than a Pumpkin Barbarian is a Pumpkin Barbarian that breathes fire) and the Spirit (which makes thematic sense, and plays into the quasi-mystical nature of being a Leshy).

Any advice would be welcome.

Re: Out Of Context

Checked with a friend of mine on what you've asked.

1) The item's Price and Bulk is X2, but its actual stats don't change. Giant Instinct increases rage damage from +2 to +6, and you are Clumsy 1 wielding it.  I could see making this a little better maybe, though that's more the GM's domain. This was checked with a GM I play with, but not OUR GM, so it may be handled differently here.

2) Regarding Reach, I'd say you've got two 'reachy components', noodle arms and the thing held by the noodle arms. I'd say you'd take your best 'noodle arms' reach and add the reach for what's in those noodle arms. (IE, I think a limited stacking makes sense, where logical)  This answer is my interpretation, though, not based on bookdiving.

I can't say I have a position on #3.

There's a link to a Reddit post talking about that exact question!

Ran into some connectivity issues with my internet but all is good now. I'm getting threads set up now.

Also, I will open up the reputation thread!

Thanks for that.  It's what I was expecting (and dreading).  Welp, back to the drawing board.

Hey there, everyone! Playing a witch who potentially lives in a weird little shack on the outskirts of town. Can’t wait to see where this all goes!

Welcome Vysol!

Are you interested in a character connection?  Because I have a murder-moppet in need of an absent-minded creator.

Jessica is neutral good. She may be able to create fire but she is not a vandal nor a psychopath. :)

Re: Out Of Context

Sani probably wouldn't have made GoAH, alas.

I do like the idea of trying to form some character connections, though. Sani  is currently only somewhat developed.

I know that she's the daughter of a halfling family and there's reasonable speculation that she might be half-halfling half-elf. She was struck by lightning as a girl and survived, which is where the name and the scar come from, and also where her fascination with storms came from. She became a druid as such. I wonder if one of the other characters here could've healed her, that was about 15 years ago or so, probably.

I notice she's about an inch shorter than Jessica, which is just great.

Her druidic practices don't preclude metal as a thing, and in fact her version of a primal focus is actually a naturally magnetic stone and a metal wand which it adheres to but can 'roll along'

Alignment, I'm still waffling on. I know it's in the 'Neutral Good to Chaotic Neutral' box. She has an aloof, standoffish nature - she helps out and does adventuring jobs, but she's not typically dramatically friendly with most people, but there can be exceptions.



In her description, the thing with a halfling with smooth and non-hairy feet. I've always loved the idea that that's a 'cultural thing' that 'says stuff/stereotypes' about the halflings who do take care of their feet, but in her case, it's a result of that half-elven-ness... but there's still room for people to be weirdly fetishistic about it. Probably not a thing that will come up, but a random idea I have regarding it.

Oooh, I love it! We can hammer out the details as needed, but that would definitely make sense for this guardian to be/have been one of her projects.
