When are you going back to making full builds?

Touhou and 4e? Pass.

>>7202841
Touhoufag quit his day job, So Yeah.

>>7202841

I shall do so in perhaps a week. A few novelty, one-off builds have been occupying my attention lately.

>>7202862
>HURF DURF

Wow, that's certainly... unique, if nothing else. Nice work.

No thanks.

>>7202200

JACK RAKAN BUILD? I'M SOLD!

>>7203659
It's unique, but I'm worried about what's going to happen if the DM makes monsters go for the sword to take it down.

>>7203691

Any attacks directed at the familiar can be shrugged off by its high defenses and virtual damage resistance. If an enemy bothers attacking it through melee and ranged attacks, then that is to the benefit of you and your allies. Better the life of a familiar that regenerates during a short rest than the hit points and healing surges of the party, after all.

I'm reskinning it SILVER SURFER

>>7204030
Silver Surfer was more of a shooty guy than a melee attacker though.

Does the 5 + ½ level damage have to be dealt in a single attack (a la a spirit companion), or is damage from multiple attacks cumulative?

Also, if you use the Familiar Harrier utility to teleport your familiar while riding it, do you come along with it?

>>7204142

Maybe he's this guy from persona.

>>7204427

>Does the 5 + ½ level damage have to be dealt in a single attack (a la a spirit companion), or is damage from multiple attacks cumulative?
As per the Familiar Mount ritual, the former would be the case.

>Also, if you use the Familiar Harrier utility to teleport your familiar while riding it, do you come along with it?
This would only be possible with a Saddle of the Nightmare from page 124 of the Adventurer's Vault, which would bar the usage of Impenetrable Barding.

>>7205167
I see. Good to know, thanks.

>>7202040
>>7202051
>>7202070

Incidentally, I find it hilarious that you actually have weapon-riding Touhou pics. And one of them even has a guitar for the Bard-ness.


Sage because I'm not contributing anything to the thread.

>>7205414
A hoe isn't a weapon, but close enough.

This is AWESOME.

>>7205414

Fact: There is a touhou picture related to every single possible scenario.

Follow-up: If there isn't, ask again in thirty minutes.

>>7205532
>A hoe isn't a weapon

Fine, fine. Tell you what, you stand there, and I'll swing this hoe at you, and we'll see what happens, okay? Since it's not a weapon, you should be fine.

>>7206067

To wield a hoe as a weapon, one must keep their pimp hand strong.

>>7206067

Not a weapon != Harmless.

ANYTHING can cause someone harm. That doesn't make EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE EVERYWHERE a weapon.

>>7206079
In the right hands it does.

>>7206079
EVERYTHING is a weapon.

>>7206088
>>7206102

Congratulations, then. "Weapon" is now a meaningless term and exists as a wider spread cosmological constant than any law of physics.

It is useless to describe anything as a weapon, as all things are weapons. The word need no longer be used.

>>7206067
So a chair is a weapon? And a spoon? And a door for that matter?

We, the users of /tg/, frown upon the usage of pictures not associated with our board. Please refrain from the use of pictures associated with video games like "Imperishable Night", "Embodiment of Scarlet Devil" and the rest of the series known as "Touhou". It's utterly impossible to make pictures from a curtain fire shooter related to /tg/. You might as well try and use a Solvalou, R-9 or Vic Viper in a classical fantasy setting.

Pic related to the post, but unrelated to /tg/. It's a Vic Viper.

>>7206079
Fine. But really, if you look at it it's pretty similar to a horseman's pick.

If you count a scythe as a weapon (which D&D does), then a hoe should certainly count.

Sagefag needs to grow a pair of working testicles and stop being a whiney bitch.

>>7206155
That always was one of my pet peeves. Scythes as weapons are a horrible idea.

>>7206582
>sagefag
>not a whiny bitch
Does not compute.

I'm wondering if this is doable with a swordmage or sorcerer?

>>7207289

This would be possible with either of the classes that you have referenced, albeit to a lesser degree. As the magnitude of the feat intensivity of this build is nothing to be overlooked, classes that would require a greater number of feats for the sake of functionality, such as the swordmage and the sorcerer who both require a means by which to actually cast the Familiar Mount ritual, cannot accomplish this with the same level of efficacy. In addition, the sorcerer class has no powers with the Weapon keyword available to it, thus defeating the Offensive Partner active benefit of the Floating Weapon familiar.

For what it's worth, I think this is a cool and unique way of using a familiar.

Sagefag should post 1942, now that was a fucking awesome shmup. Also, some Touhou Gradius.

>>7208128

And R-type.

>>7208163

And Darius.

Every shooting game made since 1982 is superior to Touhou. The touhou series are the worst danmaku shooters ever made. Post more pictures of awesome shooter games!

No, you forgot the touhou picture. Only I don't have any yet on this computer so I will post a tiefling instead.

Touhou is unrelated by base design. Bumping touhou is as much a rules violation as posting touhou. Reported.

>Touhouguy posts a 4E build while also posting touhou pictures. His posts are fully relevant to /tg/

Yet I see trolling and NSFW pictures here all day.

I'm sure that if this was posted without the Touhou, you'd all be fapping to the thought of riding a giant sword.
