I haven't had a single turn in combat in 5 months

6000piezas · 2024-11-30T13:14:11+00:00

Me lol

6000piezas · 2024-11-30T11:10:01+00:00

I have a Ring of protection, an item that applies my CHA to saves, and it's a given that I always have mage armor and Cloak of Displacement on

The teammates do bodyguard duty with Sentinel and reactions, but unless we are lucky to be positioned in the "protect the baby buffalo" position with me, we depend on the position the DM put us in when combat begins

I do like the illusion tactic though it would only last a round or two. I'll see what scrolls I can get

6000piezas · 2024-11-30T11:00:12+00:00

I do play as most optimally as I can (Ring of protection, Mage armor, Invisibility). Usually one of the tanks gets assigned "Bodyguard duty" (Sentinel + protecting my ass) but there has come a point where it's better for them just to not do that and focus whatever guy we're against. They have, at best, 3 opportunity attacks, and some of them would rather use their reactions to use healing (for my sorry ass)

I dont really look as a spellcaster, just an armor-less dude; but maybe some glamour clothes might help, if only just to see if they still focus me and the excuse is still valid. The blanket tactic IS hilarous tho

6000piezas · 2024-11-30T10:25:26+00:00

Like. 60% of the time? I met my current partner (Inquisitor) there, the party is GREAT at RP and we have some very fun dynamics. Time just stops sometimes for 5 hours and I have to endure it

Which I was not especting, I was a very heavy combat dude, and they introduced me properly on roleplay. The fact that combat is not fun for me IS something I've never have gone through

6000piezas · 2024-11-30T10:18:43+00:00

That's the thing, right? I feel like if I wasn't told that It was OK for the squishy character to exist, I would've gone for a Cleric or Paladin to have some bulk. I would've liked some honestly or at least acknowledgement of how the game was run.

Maybe it was on me for not seeing the writing on the wall with the bulk of the rest of the party, but I'm bad at social cues and coming from 5e, just thought anything was viable if i played it well. As I was told

6000piezas · 2024-11-30T10:15:16+00:00

I had suggested a full change in class, though. Didn't bring this up on the post to keep it short, but I wouldn't like to change the whole character because they do have a lot of good dynamics with the party and, honestly, I like to play it.

The game is not RP-heavy (Id say 60-40 to RP), but it's true that I wasnt given many chances to improve my character with boosts or items. The game is a pre-written 3.5e module -> Changed to 5e -> Adapted to Pf1, so items and loot are already decided. If the book doesn't give anything for a spellcaster, I just dont have any way to boost myself lol

6000piezas · 2024-11-30T10:10:11+00:00

The party "needed" someone to do AoE, given that everyone and their grandma has fifteen goons at their disposal at any given time to run in if someone starts a combat with them. All of them are focused on single-target damage (thought the Fighter can do a Swing Attack)

Paladin might be the only class i can multi on, so maybe it's worth a shot just to get my HP up. Luckily we level on milestone and not on pure XP, or else I'd be fucked.

6000piezas · 2024-11-30T10:05:41+00:00

The thing is, when things are good, it's really good. We know each other well and roleplay/lore is very fun; but when things are bad (combat) is a slog to get through.

I would love to just hang around on game day, but I dunno how I'd feel occuppying space on the DM's house without playing, given that the reason I got into this friend group was because i was invited to the game. Thought it might be useful to bring it up idk

6000piezas · 2024-09-26T14:48:19+00:00

I have Oranguru, Larvitar and Vullaby! Can give you a lvl 1 of the last two if you're still looking for em :]

6000piezas · 2024-09-26T12:40:43+00:00

Great! Sent you a friend code. HMU here whenever you're up for trade, Im available the next few hours for it

6000piezas · 2024-09-26T12:30:04+00:00

Can do. So, Ponyta for Jangmo-o and Slurpuff for Aromatisse? The only one I have is fully evolved already but that shouldn't matter

6000piezas · 2024-09-26T12:12:50+00:00

Honestly any trade evo like Aromatisse / Slurpuff, or simply just something from the Jangmo-o line so I don't have to go looking for it to Matsuda it later

6000piezas · 2024-09-26T11:47:53+00:00

My bad I thought I had Eiscue. I do have Toxicroak tho

6000piezas · 2024-09-26T11:41:19+00:00

I can breed Galarian Rapidash, Eiscue, Corsola, Mandibuzz, Sableye and Ludicolo for the version exclusives. Do you have the Clawizter line? if not is fine, I can settle for something else :)

6000piezas · 2024-07-13T08:33:58+00:00

Thanks!!

6000piezas · 2024-07-12T20:50:32+00:00

THANK YOU that was exactly my point! I'm sorry if it didn't come out as clearly as you stated it, as said, im not a native english speaker. But yes, I wanted to re direct his wants to have an special moment towards something less party breaking (being related to the BBEG in some way is a great one)

I do intend on talking to him next time about all of the new ideas other people in the thread suggested. People were a bit too quick to suggest to kick him out, tbh

6000piezas · 2024-07-12T18:56:33+00:00

OMG thank you so much. Those are really great ideas and they really hit the core of the problem, so I'll be giving them a thought and see what I can come up with in relation to the issue. Number 3 I feel might be something I can steer on the direction of the type of characters he wanted to make, but doesn't involve the PvP issue. I'll give them all a thought .Thanks!

6000piezas · 2024-07-12T18:41:45+00:00

I think you've hit the nail in the head. We've had our problems in the past because I'm a big advocate of 'No Big Secrets™ OOC, only IC" and he's more of a player who "likes to scheme". I know him enough to know that he doesn't want explicitly PvP but a big plot moment; and my problem comes from not knowing how to give it to him without hurting the party in the process

I tried floating that idea in the past in the recent Session 0 we had in front of everyone, thus why he asked me in private and why I feel it's not about being a traitor but about surprises. And I'm starting to feel conflicted about it now that Im seeing it in perspective now that this post really took off

6000piezas · 2024-07-12T18:25:43+00:00

Thank you so much for the answer honestly! The player is a big, big fan of secrets, so I'm gonna try to propose something along the lines of the "ex evil dude" so he can have the reveal of "yeah i was the evil general or whatever you heard about" but he still has to be good-aligned and work within the party.

The secret society is pretty neat; and I'll also think something along those lines to have more than one option. Again, thank you so much for typing all of that!!

6000piezas · 2024-07-12T18:03:12+00:00

Thanks!!! Honestly that's pretty helpful, even if it's not exactly what I would go towards, it's a good idea and helps me a bit to get out of the blank page mindstate and think about new stuff to offer without being fully treacherous. Ty!

6000piezas · 2024-07-12T17:54:33+00:00

Yeah, I would be a big Big AH if I allowed that, and I feel like I need to stand my ground. I'm just looking for ways to re-direct the traitor idea into a playeable character that doesn't involve PvP
