So with all the mumbo jumbo on the martial caster disparity relating to narrative power, I decided to make badassary, it's kind of like mythic tiers but comes in 20 levels to make the ability progression a bit smoother (like spell resistance).
what i would like are more ideas that allow martials to do crazy mundane things without them turning into completely unrealistic nonsense, everything has to be buyable, so as long as it can be explained in a way that allows the fighter to function without it becoming supernatural. these abilities should also mitigate the parties reliance on certain magic items or spells somewhat, such as fight through it reducing the need for wands of cure light wounds.
I would also like ideas for how certain class abilities of martials or half casters could be improved by being badassified.

Hey Bandw2. Im very keen on your badass tiers, the idea is awesome. Some of the abilities you have already are very very cool.
If i may ask, do you think it is entirely fair to not give full casters ANY tiers? Maybe a tier at 5/10/15/20? Just so thry can feel involved?
Might i also add in a suggestion of some abilities? I dont know how the balance will work but its stuff a badass might have:
Vast Reputation:
A badass may add his badass tier to any diplomacy or intimidate checks he makes. His acts of badassery are known far and wide and rumours abbound.
It is an honour:
Pre req:vast reputation, (BT 12 maybe)
A badass is so well known and has such renown that shop keepers and business men see it as an honor (and an advertising opportunity) to have the badass use their wears. The badass recieves a 25%(will need balance) discount on all purchases and recieves any purchases under 10gp free(once per business)
A lucrative deal:
Prereq: it is an honour, (BT 16??)
The badass is such a well known figure that he draws crowds wherever he goes. The badass may form a "lucrative deal" with a single enterprise or patron, the enterprise or patron recieves massive advertising via the badass, this is for campaign consequences. The badass in turn may gain 1 free item (chosen by his enterprise or patron) from his enterprise or patron every 6 months, in turn for actively promoting his patron or enterprise.
Badass Belongings
Prereq: BT 4
The badasses badassery rubs of on his equipment. The badass may apply a single +1 enchantment to either his weapon or armor that is "non_magical" in nature. Ie things that can be explained with physical type stuff like keen, vorpal or fortified (i need to make an actual list). The badass may take this talent multiple times. The badass my take this talent twice to apply a +2 enchantment. Once applied the enchantment is permanent but it only works while wielded or used by the badass
Hope you like some of them. Im just trying to diversify the badass talents a bit and make some that arent combat related. Please tell me if you like any of them and help me work on them
Regards

Im just trying to give casters a reason to let this happen in a game

Arrows bounce off my pecs when i flex:
BT 4
Description: The badass doesn’t need to dodge attacks his muscles deflect them. The badass adds their strength modifier (instead of their Dexterity modifier) to your Armor Class. This armor bonus counts as an inherent natural armor bonus. The badass therefore only loses their “dexterity” bonus against AC against touch attacks.
Kurt, purely because when you are changing how a game works you want as many people to be happy with it as possible. I dont like the image of sitting down at the table and going "here are brand new shiny things for you you and you, but no nothing for you"
Kyrt, thats why i suggested 5/10/15/20
that equals 1 badass talent and 1 extra ability score, it makes almost no difference, but at least we can say "here is new shiny for you too! NEW SHINY FOR EVERYBODY!!" (much more likely to get nods in my opinion"

This badasses badassery exhibits itself in his badassery being picked up on by animals. Any animal the badass encounters whose HD=<BT-2 is immidiately dominated by the badass and will act subservient to the badass.

mmmm this one is a bit much, I think. try to make it more mechanical and i'll see.
for more advice on new thing, i need badass talents that make each skill awesome in their own way. Thinking bluff for suggestion and what not.

Seems more reasonable to not say "subservient" but "Will not willingly attack the badass unless attacked". There's a few abilities that do that.
Then you can use Handle Animal to begin the taming process on the non-hostile Dire Lion or T-Rex or whatever.
Rynjin, thats exactly what i was going for, but was trying to make it sound more badass
Hello, I'm Commander Badass, and this is my favorite shop in the citadel:
prere`: It is an honour

further updates
hmmm, I might use that more that the one I have "CRITIQUE ME" next to, but I definitely won't use both.
I am the bone of my sword
I think you mean bon of my sowart.I am the bone of my sword
damn it, now it's too wuxia.
Why is "Legendary Craftsman" a higher tier ability than "Magical Tuning"?
They might start stacking FAR TOO WELL
Why is "Legendary Craftsman" a higher tier ability than "Magical Tuning"?
They might start stacking FAR TOO WELL
I think this is fine since martials are more reliant on magic weapons and what not than others. though it's true this effectively gives anyone who wants it cheaper magic items, os maybe magical tuning should be removed...
i dont think magical tuning should be removed
maybe just reworked
Maybe a single +1 enhancement per time you take it?
and i nerfed magical tuning
Its a nerf and rework, you can no longer add enhancements but can now change existing ones
And you gave Legendary Craftsman, Master Craftsman as a prerequisite. Not the route I would have gone [I'd intended it as a replacement for Master Craftsman rather than building onto it] but whatever works.
hmmm, maybe give them the feat as a bonus feat instead?
I updated the link so people can comment
but if it doesn't work you can use this one.
That could work, although there are some fundamental differences between Legendary Craftsman and Master Craftsman that make me think supplanting Master Craftsman might be the simpler option.
MC restricts which Item Creation Feats one can use and requires the taking of those feats. LC does not.
i would have the ability mention that A) it gives you the item creation feats for free and B) they work with master craftsman.
NOT Badass Talents, but a suggested thing or two for all Badasses to just have:
Badass Display
Badasses are capable of pulling out all the stops to put a tough foe down. Once per day the badass can muster greater power and accuracy for a single attack, adding their badass tier to their damage roll (multiplied on a Critical Hit), and adding one-third their badass tier, to a minimum of 1, to their Base Attack Bonus. Additional attacks are possible with this ability, but they do not gain the bonus to damage of this ability. At 3rd tier and every 3 tiers after that the badass can use this ability an additional time per day.
Badass Determination
Badasses are just plain tougher to put in their place. At 3rd tier and every 4 tiers after that the Badass may increase their base Fortitude, Reflex, or Will score by 1. This bonus stacks with other sources, and allows the Badass to qualify for feats requiring certain Save scores.
Another suggestion is also to let the badass spend a Badass Talent to receive a free Feat, assuming it is a Non-magical based feat.
NOT Badass Talents, but a suggested thing or two for all Badasses to just have:
stuff
I like that
I would do this by adding a stamina system. I know there is a system of sorts in Unchained, and I know NOTHING about it, so keep that in mind here...
I am envisioning this as a stamina pool that pure martials can draw from to perform greater physical deeds a certain number of times per fight or day.
Some of these things might be:
-Spend stamina for an area of effect attack
-Spend stamina for extra movement
-Spend stamina for extra damage
-Spend stamina to shrug off damage
-Spend stamina to perform impressive leaps, jumps, climb movements, etc.
-Spend stamina to gain an extra attack
-Spend stamina to gain a second wind if reduced below 0 hp
-Spend stamina to hurl a thrown weapon further than normal
-Spend stamina to parry attacks
-Spend stamina to negate or reduce a spell effect
Etc. These are just some ideas - this would need playing with.
I just feel that most feats are focused towards improving one aspect of melee characters and for many, the combat game is reduced to "I move up and attack it!" without much flare. A system like this would add a more dynamic feel to melee. I think if done well this wouldn't upset the system. Especially when casters can undo reality with the flick of their wrist...
Gregor, have you checked the link? a lot of that stuff is there to an extent.
I will try think of ways to do other the stuff within the system we have
I have not checked the link, sorry. My computer is having issues today. :D Sorry if what I wrote resulted in some redundancies to what was covered in the link.

the purpose for basaddary is specifically to give them options not normally allowed by them or to fill a roll usually required by a caster. giving out free feats and abilities that do damage goes against this.
TO BE CLEAR, none of the options should give straight damage boosts, combat utility is fine, but none of the abilities should favor a hammer and should instead favor an arm or an anvil.
@ determination, a paladin does qualify for 14 or so tiers over 20 levels so, saves would really just give paladins be all end all saves, as well as monks getting 20. instead you can take mettle or evasion as a badass talent.
I have not checked the link, sorry. My computer is having issues today. :D Sorry if what I wrote resulted in some redundancies to what was covered in the link.
Your ideas are great and sort of what we are trying to go for i think anyway.
If you could help us try fit them into the system we have rather than bolt on an extra level of complexity that would be even better.The more ideas we can get the more epic we can make the system.
Have a look at the link please :)
Prereq: BT 6
Description: The badass can push himself in ways normal people could not. The badass can take any movement action as a swift action, if you choose to do so you become fatigued for 2 rounds. This action cannot be used while fatigued. The badass may take this talent a second time at BT 10, when the badass does so, surge no longer fatigues you.
I could see a skill like that for an extra attack, and surge itself allows better use of itterative attacks
I think i'm going to specify that they become fatigued AFTER the end of their turn...
ah yes, that should be there, makes a lot more sense
did you forget to log into chrome today Bandw2?
did you forget to log into chrome today Bandw2?
shhhh, it was all a part of my plan, until it kept DCing me.
i would post a full transcript of the badass talents but i doubt i could copy paste it all in one go.
haha, lemme give it a go
Overcome Weakness
At 2nd level and every four badass tiers thereafter, the badass may gain a +1 bonus to his lowest ability score. This is a typeless non-magical bonus. If two or more ability scores are tied for lowest the badass may choose which score to apply this bonus to. The badass may choose to forgo this bonus but may take it later any time the badass would gain a badass tier. A badass does not know weakness but may still wish to challenge himself.
Badass Talents(Ex)
At 2nd level and every two badass tiers thereafter, a badass may choose a badass talent. The badass may choose any given badass talent only once unless otherwise stated.
Talent
Prereq: -

Aura of Determination
Prereq: Fight Through It, BT 8
Description: The badass’s fast healing from Fight Through It increases to 2, and whenever the badass is resting(not moving or performing any task that requires concentration), this bonus applies to anyone resting with him.

Army
Prereq: BT 12
Description: The badass gains the respect of a large force of armed men and women, and can command them on the battlefield.

Prereq: -
Description: choose one weapon that is not affected by weapon finesse. it is now affected by weapon finesse as if it were a light weapon.
Strip the Flesh
Prereq: BT 4
Description: The badass doesn’t need to dodge attacks he can power through them. The badass adds their constitution modifier (instead of their Dexterity modifier) to your Armor Class.

Perfect Stealth
Prereq: BT 10, stealth 10 ranks

Surge

The badass can take any movement action as a swift action, if you choose to do so you become fatigued for 2 rounds, this fatigue does not take effect until after the end of the badass’s turn.

Improved Sneak Attack
Prereq: Sneak attack class ability
Description: The badass is very apt at pushing his own advantages, even against foes normally resistant to them.
