OR. HEAR ME OUT. PEPPER IN ENEMIES WITH RANGED ATTACKS. It's not hard to work with. Flying isn't that strong if you give enemies bows or spells or venom spit and have them focus on the dude in the sky. You don't gotta do it all the time, but once every other fight, give them reasons to not constantly be airborne. Attack your player's strengths to make them think and feel powerful.
That's... half of what they are. Iconcis, as the name suggests, are iconic heroes in the world of the Inner Sea, the main setting for Pathfinder. They are pre-built at certain levels that you can choose to incorporate into your story or have your players play as them if you're just looking for something easy as a one-off or a short run.
Kills me how the captions cut out right at the word I have no idea how to spell in order to look up its rules😂. Could I get you to spell that for me boss?🙏🏼
I also really love this concept of making up an entire party at once to generate story... Maybe I should require my players to work together at character creation.
1:01:18 A pathbuilder guide sounds like an amazing video! It would be very useful and could even be a standalone tentpole video to attract a wider audience
This is such a cool idea, love how you built for different APs! I hope you do more 4v4, maybe with more ancestry obligations so like 4 ancestries, 4 archetypes, rather than 6 of 1 2 of the other.
even though my name is not pronounced corerctly, it's fine episode is again on fire :D (you can say it like Matt+hice). I had a nice oneshot idea for awakened animals, what if a party's minds were transferred into zoo animals. and something was about to happen to those zoo animals like being transported to different zoos in the world. Then it's a sort of prison escape as an animal, and functioning as an awakened animal in a metropolis like absolom were some npcs you encounter in the streets want to capture you for the dark market, for the butcher, or for their private collection haha. and their task is to return to their own bodies or something
Another vote for interest in the Battlezoo material, and the various Ancestry books Roll For Combat did. That said, if you were to look at Pathfinder Infinite stuff, I'd be really interested in what you think of Team+'s books. They mostly have additions to existing classes, have been good enough to provide free updates to books they put out pre-remaster to update them to remaster friendly while leaving the Legacy copies intact. t's been a blast reading through them.
I know all ideas are in the ether, Rule Lawyer made a video about the stacking Centaurs, probably on a similar day when you were recording ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QeRQOJuwYCE.htmlsi=0742xVeMp1Nu2q4m
Halfling full plate being cheaper than Minotaur full plate just makes sense. If you're down to homebrew, you could impose sizes to armor: S, M, and L: +/- 20% of the cost, so a multiplier of 0.8, 1.0, and 1.2 respectively. Small ancestries and Large ancestries can't realistically fit into eachothers' armor, but maybe a Large can 'squeeze' into Medium sized armor at the cost of 1 AC, and Halflings could 'fumble' in Medium armor for -5 movement speed. Medium sized races could take the penalty going up or down into Small or Medium armor, with the exception of Dwarves who could wear Small or Medium with no penalty, and Centaurs who can wear Medium or Large with no penalty.
I think polearm you gain with runelord is actually very useful. If you start with 16 str (easy enough with versatile human with 2 armor proficiencies, which will autoscale to expert with remastered) you could take something like guisarm and just trip things, your athletics isn't nearly as far behind martials as attacks (would be same from 5 to 10 level). And giving up mapless attack from caster for trip is far better deal than from martial
Commenting on the price of full plate between a halfling and a minotaur, don't consider it in terms of raw materials (unless steel is somehow rare in your world) but the *craftsmanship* involved in creating the armor. Labor is often more expensive than parts, especially in high-skill-bar craftsmanship like platemail armor.
I’ve read a comment elsewhere that pointed out that flying up is considered difficult terrain, so the flying awakened animal level 1 feat would be much less effective when flying up. I had never heard of the rule before!
1:23:52 Minotaur stalking the labyrinth is the mythological basis. Some of their ancestry feats further emphasize how frightening it would be to lose sight of such a massive monstrosity.
Could also be a reference to a WoW Tauren joke discussing how you've never managed to see a Tauren sneaking around the forest because they're so good at it.
I don't have the book. Do you gents reckon that I could reskin a centaur as a drider without changing much (if anything) about the ancestry traits? I like how the art for driders in pathfinder gives the humanoid body more arachnid morphology.
Honestly I think you'd be better off cribbing the awakened animal (climbing animal) stats. You can still be large and there's more relevant ancestry feats for an arachnid aesthetic there.
