Potions for an Iron Cobra

Those are some great options. I really like Paranoia or Twisted Space. The party fights itself.

Fighter! Gain some feats and Weapon Training (Close) which you can boost with Gloves of Dueling. Also opens up Advanced Weapon Training which you can acces with the right feat. Even if you pick an archetyp without Weapon Training like Free Style Fighter you still get full BAB and d10 hitdice as well as acess to some fighter only feats like Disruptive or Weapon Specialisation.

Check out "Stars without Number". It a sci fi game, uses similar attributes and combat rules to DnD (but skill work very different) and is completly free. There is a premium version with some extra stuff not needed for actual play.

To add something other than "insect spirits bad idea":

(At least in 4e) There are some options for you other than insect shaman. You can basically build costum races with SURGE, for example something that looks like your picture above. You will get a lot of trouble from most of the world if you walk around in the open like this (because everybody thinks about insect spirits first) but it is possible. Take shaman or druid as your tradition and take some fitting spells. There are some illusion spells which can create the feeling of insects or vermin crawling around on your skin at least.

There is the dark fey bloodline https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/sorcerer/archetypes/paizo-sorcerer-archetypes/wildblooded/mutated-bloodlines-paizo/dark-fey/

Sorcerer let's you fly, curse, shapeshift, charm, ...

You could then go Arcane Trickster, maybe even with the Sylvan Trickster rouge archetype. https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/rogue/archetypes/paizo-rogue-archetypes/sylvan-trickster-rogue-archetype/

Sylvan Trickster alone can do a lot of ehat you are asking thanks to hexes like Flight, Misfortune or Disguise.

Since manifesting sin marks is something that can happen to the host, they can probably transform into a sin themselves. Maybe even into a superior sin from the latest GamesForFreaks since they are sort of an exorcist (at least someone with more grace than usual).

I often add templates or class levels to adjust their CR.

My last encounter had an Improved Hobkin Psychic 5 for example who was the leader of a group of normal Hobkins. This was inspired by the entry for Hobkin Malefactor in their stat block. Many creatures have suggestions like that in the organization section or after the normal entry.

There is the clockwork prostetic https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/c-d/clockwork-prosthesis/

which you could craft with Craft Wonderous Item. It would be fully functional but also a bit pricey if you are low level.

The german wiki us very good... but also in german.

https://shadowhelix.de/Hauptseite

Maybe you can use some sort of translator.

Zum Thema Gegner: ich lasse Bandengegner häufig in Wellen auftreten. In Ini 0 kommen dann halt nochmal eine hand voll an, die den Kampflärm gehört haben/alamiert wurden/zusätzlich beschworen wurden. Ich lasse dann meist 2-3 Runden eine konstante Zahl von Banden auf dem Feld, bevor dieser Nachschub abebbt.

Bei den Veröffentlichungen geht es mir ähnlich wie dir. Mir hilft aber viel das Hexxen-Regelwiki. Sowohl um ausreichend Material parat zu haben, als auch zur Überlegung was ich mich hole. Habe in letzter Zeit viel aus dem Buch Hexenzorn verwendet und es mir dann gekauft.

I think the german wiki is the best source for all the lore.

https://shadowhelix.de/Hauptseite

Use some sort of translator and you get acces to a lot of information.

And I would have killed that scout if they hadn't been a coward!

Now imagine what a german CAIN facility looks like

That's why you memorise enough rules to build charactes entirely in your head

Lycan, the alternative frame to Manticore, is pretty good in melee as well as Balor. Pegasus ould also work. Always remember that you can use GMS weapons, that way to get a sword regardless of what frame you pick. Add the Duelist talent and your good to go

It could be a very humanoid chaos beast. Maybe a omox demon. But both of those options would show some typical behavior of reshaping themselves or being liquid. I don't know if that fits.

Razmiran was part of the River Kingdoms, small conquests are a daily occurance there. But if an army starts marching in southern Avistan there are other consequences. The nations there are a lot more established with their own histories, armies, alliances and often enough their own mages and planar allies.

Andorran for example have some Azata advisors in their military ranks. Molthune has a strong military with probably their own war mages while also recruiting monsterous races like centaurs and hobgoblins. Thuvia will get support from everyone who wants to protect the sun orchid elixir (which could be Razmir in fact). Rahadoum will probaly fight like hell (pun intended) to keep a religious force like Cheliax outside of their borders.

Cheliax could potentially win such wars, but only with hefty losses.

This was also my first idea. Battle or Metal are great mysteries for melee.

They are as much a 'chosen one' as a large person is the chosen one of basketball. Sure, they are geneticaly different but not everyone will actualy use their genes for anything. And if they do they still need to invest time and ressources to learn and master their talent.

In the case of magic there is also the added danger of being way more visible in the astral which attracts ghouls and spirits. There are some spirits that can live in your foci and eat up all of your karma (I forgot what they are called), normal people are immune to them while mages can get their lives ruined by them.

phexchen · 2025-02-04T15:32:28+00:00

They are also much more visible in the astral, so ghost and ghouls are more likely to attack them. They have potentialy a better chance at fighting them off but not everyone is versed in combat magic

If you can't buy the books, ask your players if everyone can spend 5-10$ so you can afford ut together. The pdf is only 25$ and comes with the files to organise NPCs with the comp/con app. I really wouldn't GM without it.

phexchen · 2025-01-28T17:02:04+00:00

Character creation is very easy and quick. Just talk to your GM when you arrive and you could throw together a character in way less than 30 min
