- You may pick any race that would live in a kind-of liberal human-based city. Natural, demonic, magical, monster and planar races aren't pickable.
- You may pick any class that has a spell list. Monks, Ninja, Swashbucklers and the like count as physical races (Ki, panache and the like are counted as abilities and not magical spells). If you're unsure, just ask.

We're looking for 1-2 players! Lemme know.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

For anyone not familiar with Pathfinder, it's just D&D 3.5 edition with more class options. I've already signed up so you get to play alongside my dwarven magical girl who has a pink beard.

We are starting at level 1 so it shouldn't be too overwhelming to figure out if you've never played before. We can help you create a character and everything.
me "oh dang two turns to transform? that could really suck with how alpha strike PF is, especially at low level. no idea what a social talent is, is that some weird PF graft I forgot about?"


me after googling shit "oh it's a new class thing made to replicate batman and card captor sakura it looks like? well it looks like they were try-wait it takes 10 rounds to transform? well okay it's clearly their hamfisted way of defining an ability that doesn't occur in battle and-wait they changed the magical girl child transform to 5 turns? what was the point in that? a difference of 5 rounds might as well be an eternity in 3E & friends, battles are won and decided in half that time in vanilla 3E&F."



I think Paizo is designing their game by wrapping their mice on their wrist and trying to flip it into their wrist again except now it's Sailor Moon episodes and stopwatches. Good on y'all to change it to something less insane.
Yeah, I changed the amount of time because lol, we'd like to fight please >.<;

Of course, you can change before battle, it's only when you go into battle in NPC mode (so to speak ;p) that it takes time for your character to change~

Which is fair. That's a full 12 second sequence! Just like in anime! :D


Traits are extra bonuses that you can pick for your character. They're like DnD's archetypes in that they serve as some kind of background support, but some of them are more functional. You can only choose two for this game, and of those only one of each type, but they can add some neat bonuses like, say, Blade of the Society which allows a rogue to add +1 damage to sneak attacks or Demon Smiter which gives you a once-a-day addition of +4 to your attack roll against a demonic enemy.

They just let you personalise your character a bit more, and allow you to give skills based on their backgrounds or personalities. Here's the list if you want to check them out: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OQH-t50ZqZ-WSajGRbaALzbExij2mL-i13G_p054jig/edit#gid=0
Oh yeah, changing between battles is ideal but if there's anything I remember from watching Sailor Moon ages ago you never know when the evil forces of the Negaverse were about!


I don't remember archetypes in 3/3.5E at all, but 3E is such a vast fucking minefield. I remember back in the day I had a stack of PDFs books and I'd dig through piles of them to sort out oddball mechanics somebody heard of once. It doesn't help how misremembered or misunderstood some rules were, I know when I started and learning the rules I thought you could 5 foot step and move on the same turn. Another player had to sort me out on that front.

It does look like social traits and social talents are two different things too. Not character level and magic level bad though, I do wish they'd fix that but TTRPG grognards
. I'd absolutely spend a social talent/trait on quick transform though (if that's intended), gotta match the animes of time pausing during the explosion of bright colors and speed lines 'n all that!
You work Saturdays? orz
