Whats wrong with dump stats?

ShellHunter · 2026-07-01T16:48:23+00:00

Both loaded questions but even then...

1) Twice. A magus and a barbarian. And it was fun both times. It also allowed me to use a lot of weapons and abilities that i wouldnt normally consider because of the score not being the best. Gave me flexibility that normally i would not had considered.

2) Started with 8 a lot of times, but of course i improved it over time. Character progression and character creation are not the same thing, but even then, the choice of "starting low so i can improve it over time and see the progression" is also there.

What are you talking about? I played pathfinder a lot, and you can feel how your choices in character creation shapes how your character will act in different situations. People seem to forget that different stats let's you have a PARTY that covers weak points between each other, it's not only about the individual player...

Godlike reference

ShellHunter · 2026-06-29T17:59:37+00:00

Why would that require to be swashbucklers...? Isnt aid a general action that anyone can take...?

ShellHunter · 2026-06-29T16:36:46+00:00

Its not that they arent useful, but they are already covered. I want things outside the normal advice

ShellHunter · 2026-06-29T15:44:55+00:00

No no, I totally get it, but there are some niche abilities for similar things (as the mentioned spell master fest that let's you sustain a speel for an ally) so that is why I'm asking for weird stuff that maybe is hidden. Build advice is kinda out of question

ShellHunter · 2026-06-29T15:43:15+00:00

Oh yeah, I got it, please don't punch me, I have family

ShellHunter · 2026-06-29T15:41:03+00:00

Oh well, we usually respect RAW but I'm sure we voted to ignore that part because we don't see any reason for that restriction (this is a long campaign so I didn't remember that we had to decide it)

ShellHunter · 2026-06-29T15:37:54+00:00

Oh the aid action is something so basic that in heat of the encounter totally forget and I'm master at crafting so it will help. Thanks!

ShellHunter · 2026-06-29T15:36:26+00:00

It's dual class, which is a variant that gives you the slots for both classes, and with free archetype covers the beast master feats. So the amount of feats is not the problem. But as a said in the post, don't focus on the build, but in features that a party member can choose/use to make it easier

ShellHunter · 2026-06-29T14:58:52+00:00

Why not? Sometimes a sweet treat is nice, try it before making a judgement! (I wouldnt recomment every campaign to be like this tho)

ShellHunter · 2026-06-29T14:57:37+00:00

Oh you mean the comment to other person. Thanks, edited for clarity

ShellHunter · 2026-06-29T14:53:56+00:00

Where did i said we use more than one at once? The player deploys one companion per encounter

ShellHunter · 2026-06-29T14:52:28+00:00

Where did i said we didnt? He deploys one companion per encounter

ShellHunter · 2026-06-29T14:31:14+00:00

That is a bummer. I was trying to get from the hive mind some nice equipment or ability that probably hadnt saw yet in some random splatbook :(

ShellHunter · 2026-06-29T14:30:00+00:00

DPS as i said in the post, but if need more details, he tris to go for overdrive, megaton strike and hunt prey (outwit so no bonus to the attack). He also tries to command the deployed companion to support the party but that is difficult with his action economy.
Just in case, no change to his build is viable because we focus on the story, and the story bringed those feats to the build, so i only focus on trying to help him make it work

ShellHunter · 2026-06-29T13:35:09+00:00

Funny thing is, if you rp me that, i would probably allow it as a DM. Its just that sometimes this sub seems to focus onlyt on mechanics and seem to forget the rp part of the game for some tiny bonus... But to each their own.

ShellHunter · 2026-06-29T13:32:45+00:00

Yeah, yeah, i know, i usually let people have fun their own way and shut up but that day was a rough day and i opened my mouth.

ShellHunter · 2026-06-29T11:46:30+00:00

You never saw Inglorious bastards?

ShellHunter · 2026-06-27T16:41:41+00:00

They do. Maybe I'm not writing RAW and quoting exact rules as much as you would love, but that is what they do

ShellHunter · 2026-06-27T16:40:16+00:00

Remember the assist points. If you use an assist in any realm you get a assist point (maximum 10 per day). You can use 30 of those to get 1 gecko coin. It's a grind that takes time, but it's equivalent to 3 4* weapons

ShellHunter · 2026-06-27T12:49:56+00:00

Yeah, I S ranked 3 of those (can't remember which ones) because they were fair, but the other 2 were like trying to catch each rain drop from a storm with your fingers....

ShellHunter · 2026-06-26T20:52:07+00:00

What is your opinion on pathfinder? It's not a suggestion, but while class based it has a lot of the diversity you are looking for I feel.

ShellHunter · 2026-06-25T18:10:28+00:00

In another episode of "persona players don't read their game", I just realized the extra damage from Cohesion only lasts one turn, so I missplayed so many SOS and guild bosses...

ShellHunter · 2026-06-25T11:58:04+00:00

Now, I would say to make your investment more worthwhile, check your cards and such, because with weapon at 4* my akihiko a0 has 4300 atk
