I want to make certain i understand carrier crystal as you describe, for +1 i could put something like shock enhancement but not like speed as speed is +3, is that how you are working it?

[Thokk_Smash]

Class is approved and also the O2WF. I was going to tell you to get something like Monkey Grip instead and fight with a nodachi and katana as the class feature specifically says main hand weapon must be larger than the off but decided against it. Two-weapon fighting is pretty cool and not often employed so have at it!

Oh, yeah, I guess it does specify that the off hand has to be shorter than the main hand, huh. I had considered the Oversized Weapons Talent from the Equipment Sphere to be able to use a two-handed weapon in my main hand (looking at the Fullblade from the old Sword and Fist supplement, basically an exotic greatsword that deals 2d8 damage), but the -2 penalty (-4 on a full attack) is pretty brutal. I don't think Monkey Grip lets me use a two-handed weapon in one hand, either.

I could use Monkey Grip to wield a Large katana in my main hand and a Medium katana in my off hand, that could be fun too. Or I could follow your gracious allowance of being able to use same-sized weapons in both hands, we'll see

Edit: Would you consider allowing me to swap the maneuver progression for a Proficient progression in the Spheres of Might? Or Adept (0.75 talents per level vs 0.5 talents per level) if you feel that the maneuver progression is worth that much. I'd like to use Spheres more than the maneuvers, honestly.

Treat as the same method for doing Weapons, so:

Carrier Crystals :
Lesser:(+1), Shock (+1) Lesser crystal can only carry a single enhancement and total EB can't exceed +5 the total EB is +2 so this is fine
Lesser:(+1), Speed (+3) Lesser crystal can only carry a single enhancement and total EB can't exceed +5 the total EB is +4 so this is also fine
Greater: (+1), Shock (+1) & Speed (+3) Greater crystal can hold 2 enhancements with total EB not greater than +7 here it's +5 so this works as well.

Make sense?

You can swap the PoW/ToB manoeuvrers system for a SoM martial tradition and Adept progression if you want.

I realised I forgot to ask for a few things related to my Chef's Armoury veil, sorry.

- These three items.
- Bind Hand Chakra veilweaving talent.
- Advanced Magic Training feat.
- Sphere Implements (particularly the property that gives an extra talent.)
- Catalysed Treasures.

yes that is awesome - thankyou

okay I want to ask if you are allowing items in the same slot to be combined for the typical 50% greater cost on the lesser costed items.

I am wanting to know if you would allow the Beneficial Bandolier normally a waist slot item to be taken in the shoulder slot?

and can I combine those crystals?

I am looking at the following
Armor
Crystal of Aquatic Action Greater 3,000 gp
does not impose an armor check penalty on your Swim checks and you also gain a Swim speed equal to one-half your land speed, and you also take no penalties on attacks or movement while underwater (as if under the effect of freedom of movement) and you can breathe water as easily as air.

Restful Crystal 500 gp
Sleeping in armor that has this augment crystal attached does not make you fatigued.

Lightstep Crystal Greater 3,000 gp
increases the wearer's speed by +10 feet and applies to all of the wearers movement modes. This speed bonus is considered an enhancement bonus. and the wearer gains a +4 bonus on Initiative checks. and the wearer may immediately reroll an initiative check once per day. She may take either result. A creature may only gain this benefit once per day, regardless of whether she uses another lightstep crystal later. This ability only functions once per day, regardless of whether another creature uses the same lightstep crystal later.

Weapon
Truedeath Crystal Greater10,000 gp
deals an extra 1d6 points of damage to undead. and the weapon also functions as a ghost touch weapon and the weapon can deliver sneak attacks and critical hits against undead as if they were living creatures.

Carrier Crystal Greater cost ??
Eager +1 bonus, Force +2 bonus
>presuming the cost as per normal weapon enhancement this would be 18,000 gp

The Carrier Crystal above would be 32,000 b/c there is the initial (+1) + Eager (+1) + Force (+2) total EB = +4.

I initially made them a bit pricey due to the utility and convenience of having "movable" interchangeable enchainments for weapons/armour.

okay what about the bandolier and combine magic items in the same slot ?

also the feat
Elven Accuracy (Combat) - applies to bows, can I have it apply to firearms ?


in 3.5 there are the items
Strongarm bracers (Monkey grip)

Gauntlets of Ghost Fighting
can I use them ?

I missed the Bandolier question. Yes that's completely reasonable to have it take the shoulder slot. Eleven Accuracy w/ fire arms is also fine. As are the bracers and Gauntlets.

um lets try a 3rd time
as I do not know if this was addressed

combine magic items in the same slot

if I have a ring of protection can it be combined with a ring of sustenance for example ?

[TankLaser007]

The forum is eating my posts and double posting old saved posts.

Items that share a slot can be combined using the option from MiC with +50% cost of the more expensive of the two.

yeah no idea what is up with the forums running so slow and even getting random error messages to the site.

thanks for the answer

[samduke]

sorry for the double post
I would like to request this set

Gwaeron's Belt 21,000 gp
A Gwaeron’s belt has two abilities, each of which functions once per day. The first command causes your weapon to burst into flames (as the flaming weapon property) for 12 rounds.

The second command produces a wind walk effect, as the spell, but affecting only you.

When you wear both this belt and Gwaeron's Boots, you receive a special benefit. The flaming weapon property is a continuous effect requiring no activation, and affects up to two held weapons at once.


Gwaeron's Boots 6,000 gp
While wearing these boots, you are affected as if by a pass without trace spell. In addition, you produce no smell and cannot be detected by the scent extraordinary ability.

When you wear both these boots and Gwaeron's Belt, you recieve a special benefit. Once per day, you can become invisible, as greater invisibility, for 5 rounds. In addition, you gain a +10 <Untyped> bonus to your land speed (this effect is continuous).

[Yas392]

Thought this game is something else but is PF1e which gets my interest.

Looking forward to playing a verdivant cavalier which is leshy exclusive but there is a clause: "This archetype is typically available only to vine leshys, but with the GM’s permission, other races can take it as well."

What kind of race do you allow for this archetype?

[Llyarden]

I only just noticed this in the houserules...

Feats at every odd level

Isn't this the default for Pathfinder?

[TankLaser007]

Sorry for missing these, I thought I checked the thread before but seemed to have missed them.

It depends, if the ability to "grow a mount" from "you" is a main component that could possibly be re fluffed somehow. For example if you're an Android, Warforged or Forged Facsimile it could be made of nanites or components from yourself etc. if the growing the mount aspect isn't a large part and you're more interested in the features of the class like the Effloresces just refluff/reskin them to been congruent with your race/concept. In this case I don't mind you using this archetype so long is it seems "narratively sound."

Yes this is an artefact from the previous game's 16, which LairdMoan mentioned and wasn't PF (and was gestalt) which is why I had to double check when two people thought it was gestalt I thought I had forgotten to edit that out.

@GM
as that set was denied, which is fine I was looking for answers to speed.

Requesting
Rapid Wrath (Ghostwalk p66)
It is a +1 mighty cleaving shortspear. 11,702 GP.
it doubles landspeed (untyped) and should give that benefit as a carried object

So I've realized that I may have bitten off more than I can chew with the Transcendent, because I have to read *every* Veil, hahaha. So I delved more into the setting info and I think the Freethinkers are really cool. And I've always wanted to do something with Android, so I'm digging into that. Possibly still an Akashic class cause then I can do cool machine morphing stuff.

May we use "Implement Crystals", the equivalent of Weapon Crystals for Sphere Implements?

FYI I'm working on a Troubadour (Sphere class - it supports different personas, with some similarities to the 3.5 Chameleon or the Vigilante): a woman originally from outside the city who has established a presence in several "factions". She'll likely have at least a "Socialite" persona, at ease in the Heights, and an "Underground" persona for the Depths.
Overall, a buffer - debuffer; perhaps I'll pick up some healing since we might be short on it.

Do you have a link? I remember something like talent crystals that grant feats or different sphere talents at a fixed level but not sure what you're referring to here. I think an implment can take any/many forms weapons, magic item slots etc.

[namo]

I was referring to the rules you set out for Weapon Crystals but transposed for Sphere Implements.
Implement enchantments work like weapon enchantments, with enhancement bonuses ranging from +1 to +5 (costed the same), and implement properties which could be added to a crystal using your rules, if you allow it.

[Zarthrax]

Ok, finally compiled a character idea, but since there's multiple ways of accomplishing it, here are the choices for TankLaser007 to wade though...lol

Option 1- Warcrafter base class with Perplexing Essence discipline (including feats and legacy weapon), and Mangled Gear discipline. Possibly with a martial adaptation of Technomancer.


Option 2- Artisan base class going into Forgelord.


Option 3- Wizard/Psion(Shaper)/Cerebremancer (Metaforge archetype)

Option 4- Machinist

Those are in descending order of preference, so stop where you like it, and that's what I'll build.

Also, might need these as well- Ray Magitech Weapons

Basic character idea is a member of the Technoarcanæ (former Preserver) who has become so disillusioned with them that he founded an entire school of thought that combines utilitarianism and recycling. "If something isn't useful, it is pointless. Whether it's your first crafted wand held on to out of sentimentalism and completely out of charges or an Ortussian doomsday bomb that you don't know how to activate, they are both equally useless. So use them to make something not useless." So kind of a DIY Marie Kondo/Martha Stewart cross. I imagine that person to be frustrated at all the people who latched onto the idea and immediately try to overthrow the Technoarcanæ rather than do something useful.

Firstly I love the concept. If you just bear with me maybe a day I'll get back to you on the rest. Up to the eyeballs in work at the moment should be able to get out from under it by tomorrow.
