Blind - Pathfinder RPG Discussion

I found the more detailed Siege Engine section and am now tempted to make a Siege Gunner Gunslinger (how come it gets INT for Grit but Techslingers don't?). I might also take Wyrmsniper as well, but that might be a tad redundant and I don't know if they're actually compatible since they sort of alter the same thing (Siege Gunner only gets bonus feats after 12th level and Wyrmsniper allows the Gunslinger to take some different feats instead of standard bonus feats).

Okay, um, since I don't think we have any non-innate magic users, I might in fact actually end up switching since the Occultist is very complicated and fiddly, but not in the interesting way I was hoping for now that I've worked out stuff in my head (none of the cool stuff happens until level 5 anyways). So... I may be running a Packmaster Hunter instead (because for some reason I've been really itching to play a nature-focused character lately, might have to do with ESO and me knowing that the investment into the Morrowind Expansion is a bad one since I don't even like how ESO plays). That way we'll have a WIS specialist along with someone with magic drawn from an outside source, plus the character would probably get along better than GOATMAN (name pending, thinking Don Quigoate de la Mancha. but he's not a cavalier).

Nah, it's not using magic, but it's using innate magic rather than magic granted by an external source that is very unusual in the setting provided (Classes that usually get a set source of magic can have their fluff changed, though for some classes like Wizard, Witch, and Magus, the mechanics end up kinda weird if you change the fluff).

Usually, classes with Charisma as a casting stat get their magic from their own internal source (Oracle is the exception, though their magic power comes from within, it was granted to them by an external force, and Paladins get power from their force of will and creed). Classes with Wisdom as a casting stat usually get power from an outside beneficiary in a friendly relationship (Cleric gets power from gods or concepts, Druids get so from nature or gods, Spiritualists draw power from the ethereal plane or ghosts or something, etc). Classes with Intelligence tend to get power from study and knowledge of magic (Wizards and Magi learn through experimentation and personal study, Witches learn from a patron, and Occultists study tools with psychic and ghostly power).

Though GX has allowed people to change the fluff as they see fit, seeing as Neo's Oracle has innate magic rather than that granted to her by a deity.

So are we doing something tonight?

Not unless you and a few others want to. GX and I most likely won't be there, since we already have plans tonight.

Okay. I was just asking because the last thing I heard about it was we were having a practice session tonight. But then nobody said anything about it for the week.

Neo, just checking really quick, did you give your Oracle the Detect Magic Orison?

Just wondering if we need it since it's going to be super helpful and if you don't I'll take it.

Okay, just tell me what cantrips/orisons you did take so we don't overlap since they're completely spammable so there's not much sense in having multiples. (The 4 I've chosen so far are Know Direction, Create Water, Detect Poison, and Flare since all are decently thematic enough).
