GM Angel's Pathfinder character discussion thread

Each character(not player) may take 1 item from the armory which can be either a single non custom magic item of up to 200,000 gp in value or a copy of the Major Artifact The Shadowstaff:

Aura strong conjuration; CL 20th; Slot none; Weight 5 lbs.

This staff of black wood seems to be partially made from actual shadow, its length darkly iridescent and at times transparent.

The Shadowstaff makes the wielder slightly shadowy and incorporeal, granting him a +4 bonus to AC and on Reflex saves (which stacks with any other bonuses). However, in bright light (such as that of the sun, but not a torch) or in absolute darkness, the wielder takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls, saves, and checks(this never applies if the wielder is a Shade as their natural shadow engulfs the staff when wielded). The Shadowstaff also has the following powers.

Shadow Bolt: Three times per day, the staff can project a ray attack that deals 10d6 points of cold damage to a single target. The shadow bolt has a range of 100 feet.

Shadow Form: Three times per day, the wielder can become a living shadow, with all the movement powers granted by the gaseous form spell.

Summon Nightshade: Once per month, the staff can summon a nightwalker nightshade that serves the wielder as if called by a summon monster IX spell cast at 20th level.

Summon Shadows: Three times per day, the staff may summon 2d4 shadows. Immune to turning, they serve the wielder as if called by a summon monster V spell cast at 20th level.

DESTRUCTION

The Shadowstaff fades away to nothingness if it is exposed to natural sunlight for a continuous 24-hour period.

After we chose should we update our sheet or wait?

[Eros Angel]

yeah update your sheet the items are permanent.

Ill update mine thanks.

Also I was hoping we could get a custom item for Adam.

But in short a way for him to change side so yes easier for him to interact with group. There would have to be limits so it can be abused in combat etc.

I'll just give him the ability to change size at will, no biggy.

[JennyDK]

I am a bit confused - do we get to pick items and if so, from what list?

[Eros Angel]

any pathfinder magic item worth 200,000 gp or less or a Shadow Staff

[JennyDK]

Ah, thanks =3

Shall I post which one I pick here?

EDIT: Okay, this is a fucking jungle to look through. Any ideas? Because it is a mess even just finding a list of stuff. Sigh.

Edited May 5, 2020 by JennyDK

[Eros Angel]

Sure you can post it here.

[Eros Angel]

Well if you don't care about power and just want to have fun a Ring of Three Wishes is always good.

[JennyDK]

I never said power was not interesting, but I have no idea where to start looking or what might be good.

It is like tossing someone into the ocean and expecting them to swim ashore

What do the last thing do?

[Eros Angel]

The Ring of Three Wishes:

Aura strong universal; CL 20th; Slot ring; Price 120,000 gp; Weight —

DESCRIPTION

This ring is set with three rubies. Each ruby stores a wish spell, activated by the ring. When a wish is used, that ruby disappears.  When all the wishes are used, the ring becomes a non-magical item.

The Wish Spell:

school universal; Level sorcerer/wizard 9; Bloodline arcane 9 draconic 9

CASTING

Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M (diamond worth 25,000 gp)

EFFECT

Range see text
Target, Effect, Area see text
Duration see text
Saving Throw none, see text; Spell Resistance yes

DESCRIPTION

Wish is the mightiest spell a wizard or sorcerer can cast. By simply speaking aloud, you can alter reality to better suit you. Even wish, however, has its limits. A wish can produce any one of the following effects.

Duplicate any sorcerer/wizard spell of 8th level or lower, provided the spell does not belong to one of your opposition schools.

Duplicate any non-sorcerer/wizard spell of 7th level or lower, provided the spell does not belong to one of your opposition schools.

Duplicate any sorcerer/wizard spell of 7th level or lower, even if it belongs to one of your opposition schools.

Duplicate any non-sorcerer/wizard spell of 6th level or lower, even if it belongs to one of your opposition schools.

Undo the harmful effects of many other spells, such as geas/quest or insanity.

Grant a creature a +1 inherent bonus to an ability score. Two to five wish spells cast in immediate succession can grant a creature a +2 to +5 inherent bonus to an ability score (two wishes for a +2 inherent bonus, three wishes for a +3 inherent bonus, and so on). Inherent bonuses are instantaneous, so they cannot be dispelled. Note: An inherent bonus may not exceed +5 for a single ability score, and inherent bonuses to a particular ability score do not stack, so only the best one applies.

Remove injuries and afflictions. A single wish can aid one creature per caster level, and all subjects are cured of the same kind of affliction. For example, you could heal all the damage you and your companions have taken, or remove all poison effects from everyone in the party, but not do both with the same wish.

Revive the dead. A wish can bring a dead creature back to life by duplicating a resurrection spell. A wish can revive a dead creature whose body has been destroyed, but the task takes two wishes: one to recreate the body and another to infuse the body with life again. A wish cannot prevent a character who was brought back to life from gaining a permanent negative level.

Transport travelers. A wish can lift one creature per caster level from anywhere on any plane and place those creatures anywhere else on any plane regardless of local conditions. An unwilling target gets a Will save to negate the effect, and spell resistance (if any) applies.

Undo misfortune. A wish can undo a single recent event. The wish forces a reroll of any roll made within the last round (including your last turn). Reality reshapes itself to accommodate the new result. For example, a wish could undo an opponent’s successful save, a foe’s successful critical hit (either the attack roll or the critical roll), a friend’s failed save, and so on. The re-roll, however, may be as bad as or worse than the original roll. An unwilling target gets a Will save to negate the effect, and Spell Resistance (if any) applies.

You may try to use a wish to produce greater effects than these, but doing so is dangerous. (The wish may pervert your intent into a literal but undesirable fulfillment or only a partial fulfillment, at the GM’s discretion.)

Duplicated spells allow saves and Spell Resistance as normal (but save DCs are for 9th-level spells).

When a wish duplicates a spell with a material component that costs more than 10,000 gp, you must provide that component (in addition to the 25,000 gp diamond component for this spell).

Apologies, I've realized I've been far too used to playing with veterans of this game system, which is complicated at low levels and very, very complicated at high. Prolly should have started a low level game first and done this story second. My regular gaming group has just played a million low level games so I'm used to running high level ones for them.

[JennyDK]

Too much text. Yeah, no. I just like things that do simple stuff.

Any recommendations on that?

Any people wonder why I find D&D to be pretty shit as a system...

Edited May 5, 2020 by JennyDK

[Eros Angel]

Sure, what simple stuff did you have in mind?

[JennyDK]

Thank you  ^^ Well, making my "curses" more likely to actually affect their targets

[Eros Angel]

Hexes are based on Int modifiers so this is an easy boost:

Headband of Mental Superiority

Aura strong transmutation; CL 16th; Slot headband; Price 16,000 gp (+2), 64,000 gp (+4), 144,000 gp (+6); Weight 1 lb.

DESCRIPTION

This ornate headband is decorated with numerous clusters of small gemstones.

The headband grants the wearer an enhancement bonus to all mental ability scores (Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma) of +2, +4, or +6. Treat this as a temporary ability bonus for the first 24 hours the headband is worn. The headband also grants skill ranks as a headband of vast intelligence.

 

The +6 version would fit you nicely.

[JennyDK]

Sounds useful ^^ I am guessing it will affect the DC of my spells as well, right?

IF so I will just go for the best one.

This also gives me liek 3 more languages, right?

Edited May 5, 2020 by JennyDK

[Eros Angel]

yep it will increase your DCs by +3 among other things, give you more spell slots too

[Balthier]

@GM AngelNoncustum? Where might I find a selection of those? Definitely looking around for a cool warhammer. Or better yet a +6 wisdom headband!

Then it sounds like a proper item without it having to be a project to figure out xD

[Eros Angel]

Actually if you know the system decently well I'll let you make a custom magic item, I was just trying to make it easier for those less familiar with the rules.

[Eros Angel]

Also http://legacy.aonprd.com/ultimateEquipment/magicArmsAndArmor/index.html

[Balthier]

I'll just take a +6 wisdom headband if that's okay?

[Eros Angel]

Sure not a prob
