I love you slowly realizing that tanuki, kitsune, and tsuchigame are all types of Yao Gai or youkai. This ancestry is just the generic version that also encompasses promoted/ demoted members of the celestial bureaucracy from china or other similiar ascended common animals/ objects
lol yeah that did happen. I love myths but I am not well versed enough in any of these myths to really know what I'm talking about before I start reading it. I really wish I were. These are so much damn fun to explore.
I keep reading this and I read it to Storm too and I just think it's perfect. These creatures are newly Born Into the world and not only do they not know their place they don't understand themselves. Or why they exist. They are filled with anxiety.
This gives me an idea for one with the hounded thief background that isn't even a thief. A King thinks you stole his crown cause he woke up went to put it on & there you sat where he normally kept it. He called his guards then you escaped with a real thief in the dungeon & apprenticed with him.
HAH! I love this! What a fun creative idea. And the crown Yaoguai would have so many stories of the king to spread rumors about too from it's days as his headwear.
This might be my favorite ancestry yet, I love it! So much flavor and I enjoy the picture of fluid changing between humanoid and something more ... monstrous ^-^ Looking forward to play one
2 yaoguai, one takes immobile form as a weapon and the other takes signature weapon with the other yaoguai as the signature weapon, givjg weapon yaoguai a new name in the process i am SCREAMING i love this ancestry so much. i hope my comments are giving you good engagement rating on youtube
On the Improved Signature Weapon feat: dawnsilver is the old mithril. The material entry states that it counts as silver as well. The only damage-relevant materials it doesn't get are adamantine and cold iron. If your weapon has cold-iron before becoming signature, then you'll have all the weakness triggering materials (AFAIK, adamantine is only for overcoming resistances)
Some ideas: - an old concept or mine is Myrmidon. A 4E Ant Swarm Druid. He actually is a Ant swarm that gained sentience and took the form of the most dangerous predator they knew - human! - Fey Summoner, that is a animated dryad tree. And his dryad is the Eidolon. - you could make a Team called "the Saiyans", that are all Vegetation Yaoguai. With a Kakkarotto, a Raditz, a Nappa. Maybe a Broli too.
Damn that ant swarm is creepy as hell but a great idea! And I love the idea of playing 2 halves of a supernatural duo like the Yaoguai tree and the Dryad. Neat!
I have a cool idea for a Yaoguai who used to be a book or a scroll. I’m thinking they’re a thaumaturge. Using the knowledge they contained for their esoteric knowledge checks.
Cat Hair In Eye. It's a new conditions. It's kind of like a combination of Dazzled and Sickened. Everything is concealed to you until you take an action to attempt to remove the hair from your eye.
@@WisdomCheck its the first time i see a Jugernaut mutagen used in that way, but make sense to own a reusable one since you are constantly rolling saves
Natural Mutagen is strong wtf. One of the effects possible would be getting a Drakeheart Mutagen on a martial character, like a Champion, Rogue or Ranger that don't have innate access to Sudden Charge: with Drakeheart you have an item bonus to Perception to help with Initiative and you can use Final Surge to Stride twice. It's once per day and needs preparation, but I still think it's great. Heck, take a Collar of the Shifting Spider on a Monk and use Deadweight Mutagen when you roll Initiative, the lose of Speed is mitigated by being a Monk and you have a great action economy to Trip foes while having Reach.
Yeah! They're cool! I've been excited about covering THIS more than most other things I've covered. I love the idea of a creature that can be made from ANYTHING and can revert to that form. "I was a clay jar full of sake for 10 years. MAN those were good times".
Man, was I taken aback by the additional benefits of the yaguai for vegetation. Yeah, the others get +1 AC, +1 to attacks, some resistances, very neat stuff. But then there is one leafy boi who just gets FAST HEALING 5. I love it.
The fact they change back to their true form after falling unconscious. Make me think that when your party checks on you they might believe you are missing, when In reality you are just that pot on the bed. Interesting roleplay moments
Between the Yaoguai and the Yaksha, it's cool that we're finally getting ancestries who have the capacity to outlive the elves. D&D was created nearly 50+ years ago, and in that entire time, the elves have reigned supreme in terms of maximum lifespan.
Jeez I completely freakin' agree. I love eternal creatures and I didn't like that the only way you could do that before now was basically the elves and an object or plant.
Big bad idea.... You have an evil farmer plant a bunch of vegetables and he screams out Arise my lord my Master! the prince of all vegetables!! A fist Burts out of the ground and he yells yes I am the mighty prince Vegeta. Then Vegeta go around collecting other sealed vegetables to revive nappa, raditz, etc
It could be fun to play a born of animal yaoguai(cat) with an humanoid form of a catfolk, and the werecreature archetype(werecat) who actually believes he is a catfolk and is completelly oblivious to everyone else telling him oherwise. Maybe he became a yaoguai while he was the pet cat of a catfolk and the confusion of the transformation convinced him that the catfolk was his parent. If you play in a modern setting you could technically be a RUclips video yaoguai
I feel like a good example of a Yaoguai who takes a name that reflects their true form might be: Pig: Peter Porker, Bob Borer, Hogish Greedly Dog: Charles Barker, McGruff, Bud Bugle Cat: Percival Persnickety, Perrault, Catherine Tom Mouse: Jerry Squeaks, Mick Morsels Rabbit: Bugs, Buster, Al Harrington
I was an iron ring in a torture chamber. The suffering of the people tied to me is what awakened me. I try not to get into my Yaoguai form because it reminds me of the suffering. I will create a cleric and due the full healing stuff. Need to think about which god. My lore is Torture Lore.
My main problem with Yaoguai is it has too many good feats. I need the Ancestry Paragon alternate rule lol. I’m definitely playing a Tiger Yaoguai who is a Tiger stance monk. Most of the time he’ll be in his cute pest form and be a Tiger cub lol
I wonder why the unarmed attack for the Morphic Strike feats has an action cost. Unless I'm confused, most unarmed attacks don't have that. Does that imply you can't use the attack as a part of other actions that involve an unarmed strike?
Y'know what? That's a good question and yes, it appears that it does imply that. But I think that's dumb. So I have elected to ignore it. It's just an unarmed attack as far as I'm concerned. Maybe we'll get more clarity later.
Improved Signature Weapon is not worth a 13th level feat. If you're 13th level and haven't gotten access to magical weapons by that point, your DM is screwing your party over.
Ok I'm really disliking how incompatible this one is with barbarian, it's like they intentionally made the change shape so uncomfortable to circumvent when raging! I want to be a hulking angry catgirl monster Paizo! Why do you hate kitty-hulk?
Yeah I don’t think the new Rage on initiative was 100% thought thru when looking at other features. You might just have to rage during combat instead which is def suboptimal
…We were told the object yokai would be a Poppet heritage. But I’d have to pay acp for this. That plus not being able to be an actual animate object at any point are really putting me off of this.
@@WisdomCheck Oh, there actually is one? I didn't expect them to do two similar ideas in the same book, and haven't been able to find any videos about it so far, so I thought this was it. The wait for this book is killing me.

Yes. As are we all. I would like to be a hot peach cobbler pie please.
Timber is my favorite cantrip. You literally summon a 1-foot tall tree in your square that then falls over, hitting eveyone in a 15-foot line.
Hahahhaha I do love it.
Wait... isn't that villager's down special in super smash bros?
Perfect for if you've ever wanted to play a coffee table with anxiety.

Yeah I agree... it's a hard choice between this and Tanuki. This book is amazing.
The lint brush I assume is for the cat hair? I’m concerned for you.
Yes. Cat hair in eye = Aaaauggghh!
2 yaoguai, one takes immobile form as a weapon and the other takes signature weapon with the other yaoguai as the signature weapon, givjg weapon yaoguai a new name in the process

You can do that even if the weapon is a tanuki with Teapot Form.

- an old concept or mine is Myrmidon. A 4E Ant Swarm Druid. He actually is a Ant swarm that gained sentience and took the form of the most dangerous predator they knew - human!
- Fey Summoner, that is a animated dryad tree. And his dryad is the Eidolon.

The fact they change back to their true form after falling unconscious. Make me think that when your party checks on you they might believe you are missing, when In reality you are just that pot on the bed. Interesting roleplay moments
lol yeah agreed.
I think it means that you turn back into your Yaoguai form though, showing your inhuman traits. Your "hybrid" form, if you will.

Fungus lover representation! Let’s go!
lol yeah!
Could be cause I've been playing Black Myth Wukong lately, but doing a Yaogui Summoner where your eidolon is your true form sounds very on-brand.
Yeah it really does. That'd be fun to play.
Yaoguai, the race of canonical power gamers!
HAhaha yeah totally! They even talk that way in some Animes (I haven't leveled up yet).
I kinda wanna make a geyser yaoguai now. Basically a small water volcano that became a person.
Yes! You totally can. And that makes no sense which is wonderful. :D
It could be fun to play a born of animal yaoguai(cat) with an humanoid form of a catfolk, and the werecreature archetype(werecat) who actually believes he is a catfolk and is completelly oblivious to everyone else telling him oherwise. Maybe he became a yaoguai while he was the pet cat of a catfolk and the confusion of the transformation convinced him that the catfolk was his parent.
If you play in a modern setting you could technically be a RUclips video yaoguai
A RUclips video yaoguai! HAhahahaha!
I like your idea of a werecat cat catfolk kitten kitty
I wish we had an animated object ancestry, but this is close enough.
Yeah that would be nice. This combined with Tanuki gives us lots options for being an object.
WE CAN FINNALY BE SOUL “EATER” EVANS IN THE HIT TTRPG PF2
I AM SO HYPED. THIS IS THE COOLEST
lol
Fuck yes!
you mate are awesome! your videos are great please keep goigng =)
Hee hee yay! I'm glad you think so and I'm glad you're here. Thanks for the encouragement. :)
I feel like a good example of a Yaoguai who takes a name that reflects their true form might be:
Pig: Peter Porker, Bob Borer, Hogish Greedly
Dog: Charles Barker, McGruff, Bud Bugle
Cat: Percival Persnickety, Perrault, Catherine Tom

Wait, so never feed your Yaoguai after midnight?
Right! That is the lesson we've learned today kids. Goodnight everybody!
