Pathfinder Grab Bag Competition Chat Thread II: New Thread smell included!

[Milo v3]

No. I'm waiting for XX to formally close before starting the decision process for that.

Damn... I'll just have to wait then...

[SamBurke]

Damn... I'll just have to wait then...

I feel your pain, bro. I dunno if I'll do anything... unless... perhaps a magic item...

[caledscratcher]

Okay, I already have my entry started, but I have a question with regards to future contests: would it be possible to make a Mythic Path for an entry, or even to supplement the main entry?

My sincerest apologies for quoting myself, just figured that since I'd gotten no response that.. yeah.

[Tanuki Tales]

Well, last day for XX. I'm glad to see that all the entries have been apparently completed by the extended deadline.

@Caled: Are the Mythic rules up on either SRD yet?


@Everyone: And it's time to start deciding on December's theme!

{table=head]Proposed Name|Theme
We Built This City (On Rock and Roll)|Rock songs
The road less traveled|Drugs, alcohol and addiction
MacGuffin|Creation of Plot-centric item and plot that revolves around it
The Mythic Journey|Mythic characters and High Fantasy
Ancient Spirits of Evil, Transform this Decayed Form...|Build-a-Villain[/table]

I've thrown in a twist on the one I suggested last time.

[SamBurke]

Mythic Journey and Ancient Spirits of Evil (blah blah blah I'm too lazy to type it out exactly) are my two votes.

[malonkey1]

Has the thread for the Doctor-Who-Themed contest been put up yet?

Here you go!

We can still suggest our own themes right?

[TheWombatOfDoom]

We can still suggest our own themes right?

Yep! We just have the first 5 of 16 already out for us, so we don't have to keep thinking up new ones each time.

[Tanuki Tales]

Mythic Journey and Ancient Spirits of Evil (blah blah blah I'm too lazy to type it out exactly) are my two votes.

We're getting the 16 themes together Sam, not voting.

[TheWombatOfDoom]

How about -

Missing a Common Sense - Create a creature or class that has to do with not having one of the 5 senses. This could be a blind creature, or a class that cuts out its tongue, or like a template something that can't feel, and the benefits for having it.

[SamBurke]

Oh, my derp.

That said, I don't think I can come up with something better than what Wombat just did... That's sort of brilliant. But hey, I'll try!

Monster's University: A learned monster, or at least a refined one. Perhaps a class showing their acquiring of tactics, or a university that's all about learning the traits of monsters, etc.

Weapuns of Mass Punstruction: An item or a class that does a lot of building, renovating, or destruction. An engineering class, or a trap-building monster, etc, etc, etc.

Also, I apologies for the second idea. I just couldn't help myself.

[caledscratcher]

Mythic is up on d20pfsrd, yes. Just wasn't fully sure if it would be permitted, given the lack of template.

Saying Goodbye: Make something based around what immediately precedes death.

[Tanuki Tales]

Mythic is up on d20pfsrd, yes. Just wasn't fully sure if it would be permitted, given the lack of template.

Does it need a template? I mean, feats and abilities aren't valid entry types, so creating a Mythic monster or a class based off the mythic rules shouldn't require anything special.

Speaking of, has anyone gotten Bestiary 4 yet? I just got to Drakainia and eeesh! Echidna ported into Pathfinder is awesome, but the sheer squick factor of her is bone chilling.

[Razanir]

Reserved my reply. Now I just need to flesh out the PrC.

[Tanuki Tales]

[caledscratcher]

Got two more ideas, if that's alright.

Running Out of Ink: Something based on trial-and-error.

P.S. I Hate You: Something based on hatred and anger.

[Milo v3]

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream: Dreams, Nightmares, etc.

Broken Hearts (Needs a better name): Love, relationships, etc.

Seasons Past: Halloween, Christmas, Valentines Day, etc. Sorta like the Christmas competition we had a while back.
How obvious is it I just woke up to texts from the girl I like?

[malonkey1]

Wacky Adventures: Full-on, deliciously-silly, Adventure Time-style weirdness.

[DawnbringerSO]

Third Law and

Monster Combo: A set of monsters designed around a specific theme.

[Ilorin Lorati]

Hey, I know that _____! - Inspired by things from pop culture

Left turn at Albuquerque - Ideas implemented into the wrong genre

Does it need a template? I mean, feats and abilities aren't valid entry types, so creating a Mythic monster or a class based off the mythic rules shouldn't require anything special.

Making a whole new path would probably need a template of some sort, since it's not written like a class but it's taken like one.

[3WhiteFox3]

ThanksHalloKwanzHanukMas - Take two or more holidays and mash'em together.

More Holidays in December. - One holiday from this list.

Huh, the SRD didn't make them look like that.

They're taken alongside the standard classes and have their own progression; thus, you could have Wizard 10/Archmage 5, Cleric 4/Champion 1, so on and so forth.

There could be an argument for them just being a group of abilities that you choose from a list, though.

Anyways, here's my votes:

1. We Built This City (On Rock and Roll)
2. The Mythic Journey
3. Missing a Common Sense
4. Saying Goodbye
5. P.S. I Hate You
6. All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream

Wait, they take up actual class levels?

[malonkey1]

Wait, they take up actual class levels?

No, they are separate from class levels, although they work similarly to classes, and are tracked similarly. I was unaware of the ability to multi-path, though.

[Ilorin Lorati]

I'm obviously explaining it poorly. Yes, there's an option to have multiple paths, but it takes a feat: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/mythic/mythi...al-path-mythic

My point is that it's tracked by an analogue to levels (in this case, tiers)
