1E Player Would you allow 5 obedience feats at once?

• Upvotes

Kinda shitposty but you can technically have

  1. Deific obedience

  2. Fiendish obedience(have to worship an fiendish god so for 1 and 2 pick asmodeus or Lamashtu

  3. Ancient tradition

  4. Hellknight obedience(so we'll go with asmodeus)

  5. Agonizing obedience

There might be more but you can have all of them, just kinda wondering if you would allow all of them and if they will take an hour each or would you allow some to be combined if it makes sense(such as hellknight and agonizing)

1E Resources Daily Magic Item for October 15, 2026: Pressure Suit

13 Upvotes

Today's magic item is the  Pressure Suit

It's a space suit. It provides permanent Endure Elements and gives you a constant source of air, but in a complicated way.

  1. Would you buy this item?
  2. Would you spend 1.5 times the price to add it to an existing item?
  3. Would you use the item, if you found it? Or is it immediate sell-bait?
  4. Would a GM use the item?
  5. Is there anything cheesy that could be done with it?

1E GM How Are 1e Mythic Spells Different If No Explicit Text?

• Upvotes

Hello! I've noticed that there are some spells listed as being available as mythic versions (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/alternative-rule-systems/paizo-rules-systems/mythic/mythic-magic/#mythic_spell_lists), but their spell descriptions do not include explicit text detailing how the mythic versions are different. So how are the mythic versions better?

For example, compare color spray (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/c/color-spray/) and hold portal (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/h/hold-portal/)

Maybe in these cases it just means that these spells can be cast as augmented? (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/alternative-rule-systems/paizo-rules-systems/mythic/mythic-magic/augmented-spells/) Which I believe means they cost 2 power points to power up.

Thanks.

1E GM Confused About 1e Archmage Wild Arcana

1 Upvotes

Hello! Does the Archmage's Wild Arcana take a swift action or a standard action? https://www.d20pfsrd.com/ALTERNATIVE-RULE-SYSTEMS/PAIZO-RULES-SYSTEMS/MYTHIC/MYTHIC-HEROES/mythic-paths-paizo-inc/archmage/#wild_arcana_su

I'm guessing that it was originally published as swift and was officially changed to standard.

Thanks!

Other ORC and copyright

0 Upvotes

Ello nerds! Question if you all could help. I'm good with legal garble but I'm having a hard time with this one...

If i was to write a story, Campaign and all that, and sold it, I can. Monty Cook and the legal team went to the mats for us to keep what Gary start they way it was meant to be.

BUT, here is the line, if I wanted to use any of the main characters in any of their stories, Seoni let's say, what is the legal lines there? I normally would read it all line by line but as I am in the middle of a story now, ( Working on my second book to publish) I need to figure this out. Most of the other things I am talking about area being massively renamed and changed to make things fit but in this case, the ORC, what are some of the massive rules and laws that I would need to know off hand?

TY all.
Long live Gary in every roll we make!

1E GM What's the point of a DM screen/hidden rolls in a VTT? Mini rant.

0 Upvotes

My team finally made the switch to FoundryVTT after being stuck on roll20 forever. The lag for a Tuesday evening was unbearable and it randomly wiped out one of my players character sheets.

So Foundry makes so many things useful. Monsters roll damage, players can apply it automatically with a button press, it's amazing.

You can make blind rolls or gm blind rolls. I get those for knowledge rolls, sense motive checks, and other rolls. But I now have players complaining about the monsters just attacking and seeing their rolls and if they crit or miss as if I changed anything behind the screens.

For those online, do you hide monster attack rolls, that are clearly visibly in combat? It just seems like a waste.

1E Player Crashtest my build

3 Upvotes

What do you think of this build ? Am I missing something important ? It's for a pathfinder 1e campaign focused against undead and humanoid. It's not for min/maxing.

I wanted to play a Pahmet dwarf from the desert willing to become a living monolith (prestige class). I also need the Trap spotter trait.

Dwarf
- Replace several traits for a more Pahmet thematic dwarf, but most important : Warderer to gain endurance as feat at level 1
- Two-handed weapon

25pt-Abilities : STR 16 DEX 14 CON 13(+2) INT 14 WIS 12 (+2) CHA 8(-2)

Fighter 1-6 (4 combat feat, 3 general feat)

L1 Power attack, Skill focus (disable device)
L2 Combat reflexes
L3 [edit : armor training] Iron will
L4 Extra advanced armor training (AAT) : adaptative (bab > acrobatics)
L5 [edit : weapon training] Extra advanced weapon training (AWT) : versatile (bab > diplomacy/intimidation)
L6 Lunge

Living monolith 1 (1 general feat) it require : Endurance & Iron will + some skills*
*we use a houserule for skills so it doesn't matter here.
L7 Soul stone (+2 saves vs death, mond and negative effects), Ka stone (enlarge 3x/day), [Edit : AWT : Armed bravery]

Fighter 7-8 (1 combat feat, 1 general feat)
L8 [edit AAT : armor specialisation (+1/4 lvl to AC)]
L9 Deadly aim (or improved critical if I can't find keen weapon), Critical focus

Living monolith 2-5 (2 general feat)
L10 Toughness, auto-stabilize, immunity to bleed and ability bleed
L11 DR 1/-, 10% miss chance vs critical and sneak (+1/+10% when enlarge), Steel soul (dwarf)
L12 +4 CMD, deathwatch/detect undead (at-will)
L13 DR 2/- 20% miss chance crit/sneak, Enlarge replace by Righteous might, Immune to disease (mommy rot), Extra AWT : warrior spirit

Fighter 9-11 (1 combat feat, 1 general feat)
L14 [edit : AWT : defensive weapon] AWT : defensive weapon
L15 Bravery +3, Extra AWT : item mastery (+2 STR), Extra AWT : item mastery (force shield)
L16 [edit : AAT Secured armor (if it stack)] AAT : Secured armor (if it stack)

I voluntary ignored the baroom brawler feat and the trip build. First I already did it in another game and I don't need any improved maneuver feat if the opponent can't reach you when you are enlarge.

I tough about the ranger too, but I think I prefer the fighter.

EDIT : I forgot to write the normal advanced armor and weapon training progession gained by the fighter at level 3,5,8,14 and 16.

1E Player do you allow clerics to worship concepts?

28 Upvotes

"If a cleric is not devoted to a particular deity, she still selects two domains to represent her spiritual inclinations and abilities (subject to GM approval)."

iirc there are gods that don't know they have worshipers so it's not a conscious thing. and there are a lot of gods, so i was thinking that by worshiping a concept(such as fire) your kinda leeching the divinity that naturally comes of gods. kinda like drinking the condensation from a water bottle,

2E Player Crafting and Grafting

5 Upvotes

Hi,

Read the crafting rules, read the grafting rules. Grafting says it follows the same rules to install a graft as crafting does to craft a thing.

My questions are:

- Do you already need a graft to install it?

- If i start with nothing, do I essentially have to craft it then graft it, and does this mean I have to pay both times?

- How much does it cost to get someone else to install it, and does that still take days?

1E GM Trident of Warning - too OP? Spoiler

0 Upvotes

Running the APRuins of Azlant and in Book 5there is a Trident of Warning. Entry says:

A weapon of this type enables its wielder to determine the location, depth, kind, and number of aquatic predators within 680 feet. A trident of warning must be grasped and pointed in order for the character using it to gain such information, and scanning a hemisphere with a radius of 680 feet takes 1 round. The weapon is otherwise a +2 trident.

Crafting requirements include Locate Creature (based on Locate Object) that has all sorts of restrictions (must be known, running water blocks it, just gives direction, etc.)

No mention if there is anything that blocks this (and running water blocking this would nerf it to uselessness). This appears to be basically a "map out all aquatic predators for this adventure" which IMHO seems OP for a CL7 item - especially when underwater or on a ship.

Anyone else encountered/used/experienced this item and did you put limitations on it?

1E GM Would the watch investigate the murderous PC here?

0 Upvotes

One of my PCs (Gestalt Dragon/Kinesticist 4HD) committed a murder last session. The victim was the manager of a wealthy mine, and the PC objected to the mine's usage of poisonous and environmentally harmful substances in mining silver.

Now, as to how to deal with potential fallout, I'd like some opinions on whether the PC will be suspect for the disappearance/murder of the manager, since I saw the preparations from the moment the player hatched the idea and might be a bit biased. I have ideas on how to weave a potential murder trial into the plot either way, either as a immediate occurence or as a looming threat and a drawn-out investigation.

Backstory: The PCs, two white dragon wyrmlings, were told by the military as the effective government of the city to investigate a productivity decline of the town's silver mine, and find it infested with fey that were driven mad by poison exposure due to chemicals used in mining.

There’s a big fight involving indentured miners, fey and the PCs, and afterwards, the party first met the mining manager in a tense crisis meeting together with the army. He forbids any further outside snooping, and denies any problems.

The local druids were appalled after the PCs informed them, and the army issued a warrant to stop using poison in mining. During the delivery of said warrant the PC kineticist meets the mining manager a second time, and showers him with some cowpats from her bag of holding, yelling that she will see him in court for his crimes. Other than this, for the two days following the mining incident, neither PC is seen close to the victim, and the murderous PC tries to preemtively divert suspicions by asking the army questions about trial proceedings for use of forbidden chemicals.

But no trial will happen, as last night the PC snuck into the manager's house through the chimney, blasted him with elemental cold while he was sleeping, won the surprise round, blasted him again, and then didn't answer the bedroom door for some sleepy questions about what this noise was. She then dismembered the corpse, bagged some clothing to simulate an escape from justice, and dragged/flew the remains and clothing to the sea, where a friendly ocean fey (her mentor, whose existence is known to the army) disposed of it.

There might be some blood stains, and, most importantly, a Greater Detect Magic will find magical traces from the PC's equipment and blasting moving from the air through the chimney and the house, though the mass of auras (3x faint transmutation, 1x each faint divination/ evocation/ abjuration and the medium conjuration from the bag of holding) won’t exactly paint a clear picture. The army as the local authority doesn't have access to any high-level (level 5+) investigation spells such as Stonetell that could shed more light on the crime.

But is this enough evidence and known motive to really investigate/magically question this dragon, say, under Abadar's Truthtelling?

EDIT: I'm especially unsure about the motive. Sure, the PCs know about the use of dangerous chemicals in the mine, and the army knows they know. But they themselves weren't harmed, it was just the local wildlife and fey. They were first tasked with gathering evidence to find out the reasons of the productivity decline and later to perhaps reach an understanding with the fey. At no point did their assignment touch on the corporate side of things, this was handled by the army (like the warrant). So, at least as I see it, the PC taking the matter into her own claws and exacting eye-for-an-eye vengeance on behalf of the fey comes out of left field for the army. Thus my question if, in your opinion, there is enough evidence to point to her, since I feel like I don't have an unbiased view. /End edit.

The army is suspicious on principle due to her chromatic nature, but at the same time they hope to influence the dragon PCs (who are, after all, only wyrmlings) not to be a menace, and at least ever since the kineticist firsr met with them two months ago, she has been helpful and appeared guileless.

1E Player Dos sending count as a spell designed to locate an individual?

1 Upvotes

The question regards the Everyman vigilante social talent, and by extension the Any Guise social talent, and the spell sending.

Everyman (Ex) (Ultimate Intrigue pg. 11): The vigilante can take on the appearance of a specific individual whenever he assumes a mundane guise using his many guises social talent. The individual must be a farmer, laborer, or peasant. While disguised as this individual, the vigilante receives a +20 circumstance bonus on Disguise checks to appear as that individual. Any spell or ability designed to locate the individual has a 50% chance of finding the vigilante instead of the actual individual, and divination spells and abilities used on the vigilante give results as if he were the actual individual.

Any Guise (Su) (Ultimate Intrigue pg. 10): A vigilante can use his everyman social talent to disguise himself as any specific person, even a king or high priest. Furthermore, if the actual individual wouldn’t normally be able to be found via magic (such as by being dead or protected from divinations designed to locate the individual), such divinations always find the vigilante instead.

https://www.aonprd.com/VigilanteTalents.aspx

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/s/sending/

so, if I'm reading the abilities right (please correct me if I'm not):
Is sending a spell? yes
Is sending a divination spell? no
Is sending a spell designed to locate the individual? unsure

so on one hand, sending is a spell that contacts somebody, not a spell that necessarily was designed to locate somebody, even though it can be used for that purpose. On the other hand, it seems like an oversight that this 17th level vigilante talent with multiple talent prerequisites can be foiled by "hey I tried using a sending to contact the king, and it failed, so the king in the castle must be an imposter"

1E Player [3pp] final post: Best/Fun Spheres Area/CC/Debuff/DPR character between these classes OR support character

1 Upvotes

hey! sorry for all the build posts i've been making lately. this should be my last one for a while.

we got a new player who's maining inheritor sorcerer with leadership + life, mind, polished dark, and fate spheres. so the final tally stands at them + voidrusher striker + sunder/antimage mageknight + trap/alchemy/tinker technician.

i'd like to play a damage/cc/debuff character as that's something the team is a bit lacking in, though the inheritor sorcerer would probably help some with polished dark (mind will be solely used for buffs by them). alternatively, should i do a support character, perhaps? leaning towards picking amongst nature, war, destruction/creation as my magic spheres.

my current build ideas are:

- blaster/martial armorist (thanks u/Extension-Algae1433)

- warden maintaining patrol with war, time, light, or warp spheres

- dual-channeler soul weaver channeling destruction

- some kind of scion kineticist (spheres kineticist)

- martial geomancer maining nature, maybe weather? scout?

- sovereign piper bard for buffing/debuffing with war sphere and warleader (maybe with the new polished warleader?)

so yeah! thoughts? which would be the most effective/fun amongst these, do y'all think?

1E Player Cowboys Fan the Hammer

5 Upvotes

I want to make a cowboy sort of character, and I'm thinking Gunslinger Mysterious Stranger (we have homebrew that Damage always matches the Attack stat so it's automatically dex) and I'm looking to use the revolver. Is there any ability or feat or some such that allows you to fan the hammer? You could kinda accomplish it by having 6 attacks, but we're starting level 1 and usually are rather slow to level up, so that's out of the picture for a long while. 3rd party is fine, I just have to run it by DM. Anything else you can think of that would help fit the theme would be sick, too.
