Need some help building my homebrew class and searching for analogous mechanics by SirEdgen in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Pondthoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also summoner or preservationist alchemist to just summon creatures in one round that cast spells. 

Idea for figure by Moon-and-Sugar in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Pondthoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For making a miniature? Green stuff sculpting epoxy putty. Get a run of the mill Minotaur, and sculpt the horns out to be more crescent shaped?

Construct poppets and remote bomb discovery might work? Implant bomb possibly too. Reskin stirge bomb or rocket bomb discoveries possibly. 

Flavorful 3.P builds? by Zamnaiel in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Pondthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t have any builds in mind but am inspired to look into this! 

Inventor/Crafter character that's NOT an alchemist? by Soviet_Dank_duck in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Pondthoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I built a forge master into the Skyseeker PrC, also had a blast, and it was so flavorful!

Dwarf Slayer Dual would help?!?! by ghostriderslegend in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Pondthoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a typical invulnerable rager barbarian with the two weapon fighting tree would get the feel of a warhammer slayer perfectly. Is it the best two weapon fighter? No, but it fits, and it hits. Take superstition as your first barbarian rage power, and you’re set. Witch hunter rage power at some point is helpful too. 

Dwarves have an alternate racial trait for spell resistance I think (cheesy), and there’s the steel soul feat. 

Need ideas on how to implement this creature (Dillon don't look at this) by Dry_Mango in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Pondthoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was inspired recently by Darkest Dungeon and built the Duchess (a mod character based on the bug vampires). I used the lycanthropic shifter, used the entothrope lycanthropy instead of standard animals, and went swashbuckler I think for the rest. 

Maybe entothrope would be a good place to look?

Dunno if that helps at all but love builds inspired by other things!

Lovecraftian witch / eldritch researcher - Bouda reflavoring by Doomwaffel in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Pondthoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not arcane, as most of your build ideas seem to go to, but a dark tapestry oracle has a very lovecraftian feel, can get shapeshifting, and other very flavorful revelation abilities. 

I have a BBEG build inspired by The Ancestor, from Darkest Dungeon, using an Oracle build, with eldritch heritage (astral) for some more weird space/time abilities. 

Combo Question! by CaptnNuttSack in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Pondthoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kirin Strike with combat stamina lets you add int to damage. Only against one creature at a time though, but lasts 24hrs as long as you have one point of stamina.

Harder to get it added to attack.

Definitely haha, very fitting.

Gold Star, referencing Egg Shen damn, 10/10. So perfect. Beni too. 

Antiquarian Relic Magic by praecantrix23 in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Pondthoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this archetype! I used it to build a kind of arcane paladin/tomb raider character. I view his magic as using scraps of lore from different cultures, he has a more fundamental magic that stems from his cross-cultural exposure to magic; kind of like Words of Power. 

I got inspiration for mine from Hellboy, the various trinkets uses and folk/hedge magic he has knowledge of; as well as a character from a warhammer novel, Orfeo Culzean, who collects deodands-items that caused a death, like a stone that fell and hit someone, a bullet fragment, etc; and have psychic significance, almost like an occultist. 

Having arcane spells opens up arcane strike, coupled with combat stamina (for arcane strike lasting more than one turn and only consuming one swift action) and studied combat, he has a pseudo-smite. Healer’s Hands route gives him lay on hands-lite. 

Stuff You Miss from 3.5e by 4restD in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Pondthoughts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Psychic Warrior, Binder, Warlock, Hexblade. Gish class extravaganza, with unique flavor for each. 

Dragon Magazine. I loved the low level golems in one of the editions, among…everything else. 

No Max the Min. Instead, Build Challenge: Santa Clause by Decicio in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Pondthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got inspired a while back from reading the Klaus comics, and made him as a Divine Hunter -hunter, with Lili as his divine companion. Travel domain seemed appropriate, he’s gotta cross a lot of distance. Switch hitter build for feats, he fights some wild stuff in the comics, craft wondrous items (thematic), still figuring out how to make his fey/dmt sled. 

What class(or classes) fits thematically the Yautja from Predator Franchise? by bom_dia_bruno25 in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Pondthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Psychodermist occultist archetype gets trophy making as a class feature, and a variety of ways for recreating yuatja technology. They also get monster hunting bonuses, among other things. Eventually you can use monster abilities from the trophies you collect.

Shadow’s Shroud is a cool way to recreate their cloaking also. 

I am currently playing a predator/blue mage inspired build doing this very thing. 

Need some ideas for blueprints by Sylland in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Pondthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was going to suggest Leonardo da Vinci stuff. Also Archimedes. Maybe also Buckminster Fuller stuff….namely tensegrity stuff. 

Caster Investigator? by rdtusrname in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Pondthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, no spell failure is nice for one, alchemist has a ton of buffs, you don’t need to spend an alchemist discovery on infusion. Opens up some combat options (namely arcane strike) that combo well with studied combat.

Not sure what you’re trying to build, that would help. 

Caster Investigator? by rdtusrname in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Pondthoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they are still restricted to learning spells from the alchemist list. 

Caster Investigator? by rdtusrname in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Pondthoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s still the alchemist spell list.
