[3.5/PF] GitP Regulars as Domains And Domain Feats

[VirusInk]

I did get generally decent teachers otherwise. I have a really happy and funny orchestra director, an eccentric Comp Sci teacher who could probably compete for 'Most Interesting Man in the World' and place in at least the top 10 candidates. He's also I believe the oldest teacher on the campus. My chem teacher is my brother's, but she's more neutral and my Alg 2 teacher is generally neutral as well. Not very strict on class rules, but it's Alg 2 and I can't math.

Good teachers can make a course so much better! I had an English 101 professor who would get pissed if people asked if they missed any content when missing a class. If they asked her if they missed anything important she'd just say "No. We just **** around and looked at pictures of cats all day!" It was kind of hilarious and I loved her.

[Zaydos]

So I'm almost out of ideas as to who to make. I have vague ideas for 1 person from the perma list, and then there's Illyahr, who already has one, Zaydos, and ZAYDOS but both of those feel wrong somehow. Anyone got suggestions/attempts to stir creativity?

[NeoPhoenix0]

When I need inspiration, I look to the massive flying squirrel grappling death ball.

edit: please note the squirrels are flying squirrels, the death ball is not flying.

You can't be normal, because I am normal and nobody acts like me.

Nothing computes! Nothing!

[NeoPhoenix0]

I sense a hint of disbelief in those words, Zaydos. You should have more faith in your entity NeoPhoenix0. I hear they are pretty normal and not insane/eccentric/abnormal at all. I mean they don't even think about the flying death ball, for that would be crazy talk, only death balls made of flying squirrels.

[Fearan]

Familiar Domain (Fearan)

Cool. I like. Though, Familiar shapechange spell is kinda weird - you can just share the regular shapechange with your familiar. And you can share this with yourself

No, no, no I believe you.

Two key things to note: 1) Shapechange isn't a cleric spell

2) You can't share Familiar Shapechange with yourself since Share Spells only works on spells you cast on yourself or allows you to cast personal spells on your familiar like they were you. That's why the official spell Heal Animal Companion works. So Familiar Shapechange is a worse Shapechange because with Shapechange you can share it with your familiar to get double power, where with Familiar Shapechange it's limited to only your familiar. The power disparity grows larger if you have multiple familiars (Dragon Magazine, I want to say it was one of the 280s, Extra Familiar feat), or an animal companion as well as a familiar (gestalt druid) because since you aren't casting it on yourself, but instead on touched familiar, you can't share it with them as well. That said even with that limitation imposed Shapechange is still a powerful spell even if not on yourself. I thought about making it 8th level (and adding it to the Wizard list) and making the 8th level one 9th, but Shapechange is powerful enough that'd probably still be broken.

I LIKE FAMILIARS.

[NeoPhoenix0]

No, no, no I believe you.

Now Zaydos, that backing away thing you're doing makes people think you don't entirely trust them and in turn don't believe them. You should work on that.

[Marlowe]

Indeed. You can trust HIM.

Surely.

As basically everyone has been addressed in this thread you could always request a new thread from our benevolent overlordz.

GitP Regulars as Golems (not as Constructs mind but as true Golems).
Or at least as Golem magic immunities. :)

[Illven]

Or monsters in general.

Has that been done?

Why wouldn't I trust you? I mean... look over there!

Indeed. You can trust HIM.
-snip the image-
Surely.

Which one can be trusted? Also I make it a rule not to trust anyone in a Zeon uniform... or an Earth Federation uniform... or really any Gundam character even the ones that mean well will end up getting you shot by an MS.

Constructs would be much more fun than golems. I mean I like golems, but it's overly restrictive. The magic immunities alone would be better but I'd still say constructs, could make a Justice Golem out of LP, and some sort of Chaos Engine out of Neo.

Although thinking in-universe, between antagonizing the protagonists of the third season by kidnapping/stalking people, attempting a coup against the incumbent leader at the silliest possible time, and using Axis's residential module as a weapon of mass destruction against the Core Three colony, Mr Creepy Hands probably did more damage to Zeon than anyone since Amuro.

Then I can kill him and several others by awarding him a medal that contains a mini-antimatter bomb.

it will simply blow up whenever the battery dies.

[Marlowe]

But then what will happen to his Loli harem of disturbingly proto-evangelion cloned supersoldiers?

I so wish I hadn't had to use the phrase "Loli harem".

[NeoPhoenix0]

Like I always say there are no casualties only bonus kills.

[Marlowe]

FINE. Just make sure we have one of them survive to grow up and become Marida.

And don't have your bomb go off too early or else Haman wins and then we're ALL stuck wearing spiffy uniforms and saluting an evil redhead who colours her killer robot white and pink just to be ironic.

I don't feel like I deserve an entirely new bonus type; maybe it should just be a luck bonus?

Either way, thank you.

[Zaydos]

Since it's a psychological effect really it should be morale, or since it's a devotion feat sacred/profane is the standard, which is important in that there are on occasion/in PF morale bonuses to ability scores, but I don't think Luck ones.

The cake is a lie!

Sheesh, I'm gone for a couple days and five pages get added. I'm assuming this is your doing, Zaydos. So much content takes a while to catch up on.

I need these for... reasons.

According to Dante, Justice is the most malleable of the Cardinal Virtues. Does this mean a Justice Golem would be able to alter its shape for different attack modes?

[Zaydos]

Troubadour Domain (Illyahr)

Granted Power: You add Perform to your cleric class skill list. You gain a +4 sacred (if your deity is good or neutral) or profane (if your deity is evil) bonus to Perform checks.

Domain Spells:

1. Endure Elements
2. Friendly Traveler (see below)
3. Battle Hymn^SpC
4. Psalm of Power (see below)
5. Song of Discord
6. Heroes’ Feast
7. Dirge^SpC
8. Charm Monster, Mass
9. Song of the Banshee (see below)

Spoiler: Friendly Traveler

Show

Friendly Traveler
Illusion (Glamer)
Level: Bard 2, Troubadour 2
Components: V, S,
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 hour/level (D)
You subtly change your appearance so that it seems warmly open and friendly to the viewer. You gain a +5 circumstance bonus on Diplomacy and Gather Information checks made to influence or gain information from creatures with Intelligence scores of 3 or higher, as long as those creatures aren't already hostile toward you (as with the Friendly Face spell). In addition you may make rushed diplomacy checks against such creatures at no penalty and may make Gather Information checks by spending merely 1d6 x 10 minutes instead of 1d4+1 hours.

This spell does not alter your appearance in any significant way, and thus provides no bonus on Disguise checks.

Spoiler: Psalm of Power

Show

Psalm of Power
Evocation [Good, Sonic]
Level: Troubadour 5,
Components: V, S,
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 50 ft.
Area: 50-ft.-radius emanation centered on you
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
You begin a song of praise, a religious psalm to your god and its divine allies.
You can strike up a rousing, inspirational song that temporarily boosts by 2 the effective caster level of each divine spellcaster whose alignment matches your god’s within range, and by 1 each divine spellcaster who is within 1 step of you god’s alignment (matches in 1 axis does not oppose in the other). This increase does not grant access to additional spells, but it does improve all spell effects that are dependent on caster level. In addition within the spell's area, each character whose alignment matches your god’s gains a +4 sacred bonus on Charisma checks to turn undead and a +4 profane bonus on Charisma checks to rebuke undead, and those who are within 1 step of your god’s alignment gain a +2 on such checks.

Spoiler: Song of the Banshee

Show

Song of the Banshee
Necromancy [Death]
Level: Troubadour 9
Components: V, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 30 ft.
Target: 1 living creature/round
Duration: Concentration up to 1 minute/caster level
Saving Throw: Fort partial
Spell Resistance: Yes
You begin to sing a melancholy song that is of an unsurpassed and haunting beauty, a beauty which speaks not to the mind but the heart itself, a beauty that stops the heart cold
While this spell is active, each round you may choose a creature to sing to. That creature must make a Fortitude save or die, even if they should successfully save they suffer a negative level and 3d6 damage. You may target the same creature on multiple rounds if it does not die, however you only check a creature’s Spell Resistance once, if it successfully blocks this spell that casting of this spell can do nothing more to that creature.

Troubadour Devotion:
You are devoted to the life of the traveling minstrel, friend to all and perfect traveling companion whose songs of joy uplift the soul on long journeys.
Prerequisites: Perform (any) 5 ranks.
Benefit: You may make a Diplomacy or Perform check (DC 15) to beseech food and lodging from any who have it to offer, gaining a meal and place to stay for free with nothing more than a song and a request, this DC increases by 2 for each additional creature up to your Charisma modifier you request such for; this is a supernatural mind-affecting effect. In addition you may play a traveling song when hustling or forced marching which causes time spent doing either to be considered to be halved for the purposes of the limits on such travel; you could hustle for 2 hours before taking damage and only take damage per 2 hours thereafter, and you could force march for 2 hours beyond the regular 8 before first making your save and the save would increase every 2 additional hours instead of 1.

Constructs would be much more fun than golems. I mean I like golems, but it's overly restrictive. The magic immunities alone would be better but I'd still say constructs, could make a Justice Golem out of LP, and some sort of Chaos Engine out of Neo.

It's a flavor thing mostly. Much like the difference between a thread about True Dragons and a thread about creatures that happen to have the Dragon type.
Ultimately both would be best eventually but if I had to choose I know which I'd rather see succeed.


As for a LP golem... makes me wonder what the divine equivalent is to the Retriever.

As a note I am strongly against a True Dragon thread too, even while I think that's actually a whole lot less restrictive than a golem one.

Partially for the restrictive-ness problem, (though I'd support as Demon Princes, i.e. Abyssal archfiends which is more restrictive than true dragons) and partially because TOO MANY DRAGONS.

Though come to think of it what really needs expansion is the lesser unique Devils. I mean there's supposed to be a host of Baatezu nobility which serve the Lords of the Nine. The stats for the LotN are for their aspects only, mere avatars (hence Bel is not strictly speaking a Pit Fiend++ which is what he is in the lore), so we'd have to decide if we wanted to stat out full forms (I mean they're supposed to be a magnitude of power weaker, so CR 21-30 creatures, potentially even CR 17-20, would be potentially appropriate for true forms lore wise) or just aspects which would free us up for a whole lot of lower CRs.
