So are there any monsters you wish got stats in Pathfinder 1e? I have said this before but really wish all the kaiju got stats. Time elementals along with elementals based on the void and wood elements from the kineticists. Oni based on catfolk, cyclopes, goblins, ratfolk, trolls, etc.
Finally the rumored enhanced port of SMT5 is coming out on June 21st for PS4/5, Switch, PC, and X-Box.
This August will be the 15th anniversary of Pathfinder 1e. I know it is a little early but it's the right year so whatever. I wish Paizo would do something cool for 1e but I know that isn't going to happen. So who else feels old? Any plans to celebrate for you and/or your players?
I love it when Paizo gave us Kaiju, shame we only got stats for 7 of them. So anyway lets talk about kaiju. Agmazar(CR26 Undead, Mythic Realms)
Looks like Pathfinder 2e did a book that describes more of them. Cimurlian looks like a massive polar bear, eyes glow like stars, massive ice shards grow out of her body wich has many animal bones in them. Igroon is a towering saurian covered in thousands of tessellating chitinous plates, numerous electric blue eyes seemly spread on it's face. Jakabu resembles a massive flying whale with ghostly flesh and sunken red eyes, always surrounded by undead seagulls, flying fish, and stranger creatures. Mantraska resembles a massive raptor covered in greenery, head and body looks like mountains, legs like fallen trees. Shbloom resembles a massive cuttlefish with a 100 tentacles. Yorak resembles a massive rhino-like with jade eyes and surrounded by storm clouds and green lightning.
So if all classes got a feat at every level what class abilities and/or other benefits would you give to replace bonus feats? I am sure Fighter would be the hardest one. You could give +1 ability boost for every 1 to 2 feats replaced. Maybe extra skill points like +1/level per 1 feat replaced.
Are there any magic items from other games/editions that you wish were in Pathfinder? The Vest of Resistance(same cost as the cloak) from D&D 3.0/3.5. The Third Eye gem magic items from D&D 3.0/3.5.
Are there any magic items you love that are specific to Pathfinder 1e? Scarab of Mummy Defense comes to mind.
are there any magic items you think are over priced? Ones that come to mind... Ring of Shooting Stars(50,000GP) for a limited use abilities only usable during certain places and times...also the cantrips should be at will. Slippers of The Triton(56,000GP) for water breathing and swim speed 30ft, if you already have a swim speed it gets +10.
I know Monks can't use regular shields and still keep their Monk AC bonus but can they still benefit with a Ring of Force Shields and keep their AC? Can you use a stunning fist as part of a attack of opportunity? Can you use a combat maneuver(the ones that use a single attack) as a attack of opportunity? Can you use stunning fist as part of a spring attack?
You could make a vest of fire resistance instead of a ring, but it would cost 50% more, correct? Same thing goes for a vest of resistance(instead of cloak), correct?
I know the rules for radiation came after the life bubble spell, but I was wondering if there has been any ruling if the spell could offer any protection from environmental radiation? I know it wouldn't protect you from a creature attacking you with a radioactive material or if the creature itself is radioactive and struck you.
Do insight bonuses to AC count to your touch AC? Do you loose them when flat-footed? Do they count to your CMD?
Is there anything you wish we got for APs? It could be a whole AP idea like one that focuses on dragons or takes you to one of the other continents that we never really got to see. It could just be an idea for one AP volume like starting an AP in a prison you have to escape or going to Castrovel. It could just be one that uses optional rules or gives an unusual gimmick.
I noticed the bonus to hit and damage versus robots doesn't specify weapon or melee so is it safe to assume it will also work with kinetic blast and spells/spell powers that use attack rolls?
I noticed some APs give interesting boons/benefits for th players. examples would be mantle of black rider(+2 ability boost and ability bypass certain wards) and the stuff Baba Yaga gives you(DR5/- or SR, +2 ability boost, etc.) in Reign of Winter. It would be cool to get a list of every boon/benefit for players for each AP(that has them) especially ones that grant you ability boost, DR, extra money, certain magic items, skill bonuses, spell powers, etc.
So I was wondering what all the boons are for getting the Mantle of The Black Rider? I remember the +2 ability boost + count as Baba Yaga's "minion" for purposes of wards. Wasn't there one that gives you a +1 bonus(per mantle boon) to one stat for a minute?
So what classes do you wish got the unchained treatment in Pathfinder Unchained? Keep in mind the book came out in 2015, so no classes that come out after this book like the Shifter. So basically core classes, ones from Advanced Class Guide, Advanced Players Guide, Ultimate Combat, and Ultimate Magic. For me the Fighter, Ninja, Cleric, Samurai, Shaman, Sorcerer, and Swashbuckler though I would have been fine with unchained versions of all the core classes as well as the non-core ones I mentioned.
So what class(es) would you change and what about those class(es) would you change?
So what classes do you think are perfectly fine the way they are? Barbarian and Ranger comes to mind.
So do any of you guys think Rogues should have had a fighter's HD/BAB?
So what feats do you love? Ones that come to mind... Cunning, love this feat. Any feat that gives extra uses of class ability or adds additional class abilities such as Extra Channel, Extra Lay On Hands, Extra Revelation, Extra Rogue Talent, Extra Wild Talent, etc. Many racial based feats such Angel Wings, Catfolk Exemplar, Drow Nobility, Fast Learner, etc. Expanded Arcana, extra spells know is always great. Quicken Spell, love this one for spontaneous casters. Skill Focus, such an underrated feat. Spring Attack, useful especially if you are a monk or have haste up. Toughness, extra HP is always good. Great Fortitude and Iron Will, do I need to say more. Fleet, another underrated feat...and it stacks with itself. Penetrating Strike and Greater Penetrating Strike, I know it's Fighter only, but still fun. Deadly Agility, this should have been from Paizo.
So what if magic equipment had some universal abilities/traits such as....? All magic weapons increased in dice damage based on the enhancement bonus instead of a static bonus. Examples would be a +2 short sword would do 3d6 and a a +5 dagger would do 6d4. All magic armor would grant DR/magic based on the enhancement bonus. I would say x2 or even x3 the enhancement bonus. All magic shields would add it's enhancement bonus ether to all touch attacks(melee and ranged) or as an additional bonus against all ranged attacks(both regular and touch). Not sure wich I like better. Of course you would have to make other changes to "balance things out" but I still like the idea.
Has there been any clarification if the entangle condition for this spell doesn't allow a save? The way the spell is worded looks like the targets are entangled no matter if they save or not.
So what are the best stats(starting and final) you ever had in P1e? Also was it a point buy or rolled?
So do you use favored class bonuses? If not then what do you give them as replacements? What are your favorite favored class bonuses? Do you let anyone use any favored class bonus?
Do you use traits? If not do you use any replacements? Do you have any favorite traits? How many do you let the players have?
So which version of energy resistance do you guys like best, the "ignore x amount" or the "1/2 damage" version?
So does anyone play as the shifter class? Do you play the class as is, archetypes only, or both?
Would you buy a player companion that is focused on 1-4 classes? If so what would you want? I would buy.. One that is focused on Kineticist. One focused on the Shifter. One that is for Bloodragers and Sorcerers.
So as a DM, have you ever given the players any kind of boon/bonus? If so what did you give them? Examples
So what types of products do you wish Paizo had done or at least done more of anyway? Products that are for the game like maps, minis, building/dungeon pieces, character/spell/item/etc. cards, pre-made dungeons, models, etc. Products related to the game such as video games, card games, toys, movies(animated and/or live action), TV shows(animated and/or live action), board games, etc. I would have liked a globe of Golarion. I like the idea of animated movies and/or TV shows.
So what games would you like to see get HD remasters? Ones that come to mind for me... Atelier Iris 1-3
What non-casting classes would like to see get casting and what would you give up for that casting? Also what magic type/spell-list would give those classes? 4th level for martial classes and 6th level for non-casting classes. I would give up sneak attack for rogues for 6th level casting(arcane or psychic). Though I am not sure what else I would give up.
Are there any class features you would like as a replacement for medium(6th) casting?
So what class features would like as a replacement for minor(4th) casting? Of course the answer could vary for each class:)
So are there any class feature(s) that you would like to see as a replacement for a Ranger's favored enemy class feature?
I remember seeing people on the sight giving some classes different tier levels and would like to know what scale is? Also what tier level does each class in Pathfinder belong to?
If Paizo made more 1e products( yeah I know "and monkeys might fly out of my butt"), but if it actual happened, would you buy them? Also would you be more interested in mostly new, roughly 50/50 new and reprints, or mostly reprints/updated stuff?
Along with racial mods, how about class ability mods. These mods would be for your starting class at 1st level only. Alchemist- +2Dex +2Int
Has anyone else seen the pilot?
For the PS4 and Switch. I hope they make the skill system more like Digital Devil Saga. For those who haven't played DDS, you could learn all abilities, but only had 4-8 slots for those abilities. Though you could change them anytime you wanted outside of combat. I hope there will be a female main character option. Especially if she has white hair and yellow eyes. I hope that you can see the enemies now like Persona 5, Dragon Quest 11, and many other modern turn based RPGs.
How would you feel if spontaneous casters got all their spells known for a spell level when they got that spell level? Example would be that a 1st level sorcerer would have 5 spells known(not including bonus spells from class features, feats, etc.). Then when the sorcerer got to 4th level he would get 5 2nd level spells known, 4 3rd level spells known at 6th, etc. At least this way you wouldn't need a chart to keep track of spells known.
So what spells do you wish were on a class's spell list? Cleric- Disrupt Undead. Druid- Acid Splash, Ray of Frost, and Wall of Ice. Psychic- Greater Restoration, Lesser Restoration, Regenerate, Reincarnate, and Restoration come to mind. Healing spells, at least cure light to cure critical if not higher level ones. Some more elemental spells and some ray spells. Sorcerer/Wizard- Raise Dead and Regenerate. Witch- Ray of Frost.
Are there any classes or class abilities that you wished was done differently? Arcanist- This could have been a Wizard Archetype. Hunter- I wish this was a full martial class. Investigator- I like the class but don't like how studied combat and studied strike work. Medium- Would have liked a simpler/less paper work version. Ninja- Not bad but could have been better. Samurai- This could have been so much cooler then a Cavalier variant. Shaman- Really wish this was a Cha based spontaneous Druid caster class. Shifter- I love the natural attacks, unarmored AC(though I wish they let you choose Cha instead of Wis), but the actual shifting.... Skald- Just don't like the rage song stuff. Slayer- I wish this one when the path of being very focused to slaying a creature type, subtype, etc..(dragon slayer, vampire slayer, giant slayer, etc.) Swashbuckler- I like this one but could have used a good fort save, Dex to damage built in, and a few other tweaks. Vigilante- Liked the play test version were you could custom make your hero. Also the class's alternate persona could have been a NPC class or a NPC class template of some kind. Warpriest- Would have liked a martial class, like a Paladin but any alignment.
What class or classes that you wish did exist in Pathfinder? I would love to have seen a Cha based spontaneous Druid based caster(Primalist?), bloodline focused mid caster(6th) class, Tarzan/Jungle girl based class(Wildling?), Engineer class with gadgets, bombs, guns, inventions, etc., Psychic martial class, etc.
So who else here has enjoyed getting the pocket editions of 1E books? Any plans to get Pathfinder Unchained pocket edition? Are there any hardcover books that will not get a pocket edition?
So which action system do you like best, 1E(standard, move, etc.) or 2E(3 action + reaction)? Keep in mind I am only talking about the action system itself, not any other aspects of the combat systems.
So which action system do you like best, 1E(standard, move, etc.) or 2E(3 action + reaction)? Keep in mind I am only talking about the action system itself, not other aspects of the combat systems.
Why isn't there a saving throw for this effect? personally real death is less annoying.
Have you ever seen an entire adventuring party being comprised of the same class? If so what class? Is there a single class that you would pick to comprise an entire party? Bards, Kineticist, and Vigilantes would be interesting.
