Wrath of the Righteous PF2

This is an experiment with homebrewed PF2 Mythic rules of the Wrath of the Righteous AP

Retraining House Rule:

Retraining generally takes a week of downtime. And you have to have found someone to pay to help you retrain. In some Adventure Paths (APs) there is enough downtime to actually make this viable (I'm looking at you, KingMaker, which had months of downtime). I'm not really seeing enough downtime in Wrath of the Righteous (WotR) to make this work.

Here is what I propose:

The PC makes a declaration to the GM/table that they plan to retrain out of X and retrain into Y.

Immediately, they lose X.

After a week of in-game time, they make a skill check (generally the DC of which is the Hard DC for the level of Y):

Critical Success: They can immediately begin using Y with no penalties
Success: They can immediately begin using Y, but with a -2 Retraining penalty related to using Y. This penalty goes away after one week of in-game time.
Failure: You still have lost X, and can immediately start a new week of training into Y
Critical Failure: You still have lost X, and must wait an in-game week before restarting training into Y.

For instance, if Harry the level 8 Rogue wanted to retrain out of a general feat taken at level 3 and replace it with a level 2 feat, then the DC would be 18 (16 for level 2 and +2 for Hard DC). If instead it was being replaced by a level 7 feat, the DC would be 25.

If Harry's feat was a Thievery-related feat, then the applicable skill would be Thievery. But, if the feat was related to something else (let's say Toughness), then the applicable skill would be different (in Toughness' case, it would be Fortitude). Non-obvious applicable skills would have to be discussed with the GM.

Singular magic items (for instance a +1, Holy Arrow):

Single magic arrows can be collected after a combat, unless they did critical damage, in which case they are expended.

Inherent Mythic Boons:

1. At Mythic Rank 1, the PC gets a unique Mythic Item. As the PC progresses in Mythic Ranks, the Mythic Item increases in power.
The player will devise what the Mythic Item will be at Mythic Rank 10.
The GM and the player will work together to devise how the initial Mythic Item will evolve over time.

2. At the attainment of Mythic Rank 1, 4, 7, and 10, the PC will get a free boost to an attribute modifier.
If an attribute modifier is already +4 or higher, it takes two boosts to increase it. If the PC gets a partial boost, the PC must boost that attribute again to increase it by 1.

3. At the attainment of any Mythic Rank, the player will devise a Mythic Feat, Ability, or action that, with the GMs approval the PC will get. The Mythic action will be directly related to a Feat, Ability, or action that the PC already has.

4. At Mythic Rank 10, the PC may have a second Apex Item.

Basically, it allows the PC to become more unique through inherent mythic powers.

So, Let's say at Mythic Rank 1, the Fighter gets a Mythic Breastplate. At MR 10, It is an Intelligent item that doesn't allow the PC to be flanked, and that can cast Dimension Door 3/day. At MR 1, it may only warn the wearer to decrease the Off Guard penalty by 1. Etc.

The same Fighter at MR 1, can have a Mythic Raise Shield that is a free reaction that does a Shield Bash to any foe within melee range, when the Shield Block reaction is done.

A mage at Mythic Rank 1 gets a Mythic Pearl of Power. At MR 10, it acts as a crystal ball, that gives the mage an additional spell slot at every available Spell Rank. 1/day it can maximize the dice on any damage die rolls of a spell (e.g., 6d8 would be 48). At MR 1, it gives the mage an additional spell slot at an available spell Rank.

The same Mage at MR 1, can have a Mythic Spell. For example, a Mythic Fireball would automatically have all its damage dice increased by one step.

So, rather than having all the boons be generic, this will allow each player to devise what they believe an overpowered, nearly godlike PC would be.

Hey, all. Sorry for being slow at the moment. Real life stuff is happening and will also be tomorrow. I'll get back on track as soon as possible.

Thanks for the patience.

I believe that takes me out, since it was a nat 20 for 8 damage, and I had 16.

Tempted to ask if I can join another WotR campaign and remain in this one, since it's about 9 levels ahead of where we are currently. It's perfectly fine if not, but I figure the knowledge of the campaign will fade by the time our campaign reaches that point. That, and it's only recruitment right now, no guarantees I'd get in anyways. So, GM, what do you say? help I am addicted to character creation

Actually, it's not me. It's the damn muse. I see a game recruitment and move on. Only to be awakened at 2:30 in the morning because my muse had an idea. I know she won't let me get any sleep until I work on it some.

The Orc follows the smells and sits and devours the meal.
If only every enemy thought this far in advance.

Please remind me are we using Free Archetype?

Makes it tough at 2nd level for sure.

But Qafa is taking Blessed One because it's thematically appropriate.

Are we using Graduate Ability Boosts? It'd only be one hit point of bonus but, I figured I'd ask. I don't remember the exact build for this, but likely going for Arcane Sense and Hit the Dirt as for feat choices. No chicanery is planned like in the 2e RoW campaign, so I'm more free on what to do.


Artifacts | Macros | Inv | Slides | Map |

No, we won't be using gradual ability boosts.


Female Amurrun Gunslinger 5 | AC: 21 | HP: 61/61 | Fort +11 Ref +13 Will +8 | Perc +8

Alright. Solras has been updated to Level 2. Planning for Ghost Hunter Archetype for her.

Virgil took Force Fang Focus spell. Not impressive damage, but it is a Force option and a second Focus Point...lol.

The Orc is also a Titan Wrestler now.

Go ahead. I'm not holding fast to the initiative order. It's mostly just who goes before and after the foe.

I've PMd Niall, since we haven't heard from them since the 2nd.

Alright, I'll run a bot.

In the meantime, it was Virgil that did the reposition, and Avenger did not make their turn yet, I believe. Just a minor thing.

"Away from you" could be any direction because every direction is away from you...lol.

Repositioning works, although it would be 1 less and would have had to Release a Hand.

Thanks, Avenger!

I like the 4e definition. They have to end up farther away from you. In this case, they'd be the same.

De Nada. for 2e optimization is more about party tactics than optimizing individual characters.


Male Human Sorcerer (Imperial) | AC 16 (mage armor) | HP 16/16

Apologies all. I need to drop out of the campaign.


Artifacts | Macros | Inv | Slides | Map |

We've got two candidates to replace Niall.

One is a wizard
One is a ranger (bowman) with a small wolf companion.

I'm having difficulty choosing between the two. Or, we could just add both. That would make encounter rounds take more real-world time, but, should make encounters easier.

What do you think?


Female Amurrun Gunslinger 5 | AC: 21 | HP: 61/61 | Fort +11 Ref +13 Will +8 | Perc +8

On one hand, replacing the Sorcerer with a Wizard would just make everything go smoother. On the other, this is admittedly the fastest-paced campaign aside from the Custom one that I'm in.

I'm for either both, or the Wizard alone.

More players is always more fun, assuming you can handle it GM.

Go with what you feel like you can balance.


AC 23 (25 w/ shield) |HP 88/88 |F/R/W +15/+13/+13 |Per+11

I prefer both. Sadly in PBP, having some attrition resistance is good. real life kills more PBP adventurers than any demon.

If only one, the wizard.

Thanks. I'll let them know!!!

Wizards have spellbooks and Rangers have dps.

Virgil likes both!

Plains, though I'm not sure how helpful it is.

Hey y'all, excited to join up with your adventure. Krakas is a kind of a greenhorn wizard. He is a tiefling born to two human crusaders, unwilling to bring him to the crusades or raise him as a tiefling amongst the crusaders they left him with grandparents.

His granpappy taught him some magic and after many years, feeling confident he set out to see if can't find his parents somewhere in the crusade and prove that despite his lineage he can be just as good a crusader.

Krakas stands tall and imposing, his muscular frame a stark contrast to the typical image of a frail wizard. Born of demonic lineage, his Tiefling heritage is evident in his crimson skin, which seems to flicker with an inner fire, and his black curling horns that protrude from his temples. His eyes, a piercing shade of yellow, hold a hint of infernal power, radiating an aura of otherworldly intensity.

@TechoWrath, I believe I've filled out the macro's appropriately. He has a refugee background which gives him a Lore of a Settlement. I figured he'd go with Lore Nerosyn.

I couldn't get it let me choose Arcana for my exploration skill but ideally that's what I'd use.

Tell me how spell-swapping works in 2e? Something just doesn't seem right here, but that might be because I'm used to 1e.


Male Teifling Welcome players! Roll20 Map

Spellbook:

Every arcane spell has a written version, usually recorded in a spellbook. You start with a spellbook worth 10 sp or less, which you receive for free and must study to prepare your spells each day. The spellbook contains your choice of eight arcane cantrips and four 1st-level arcane spells. You choose these from the common spells on the arcane spell list or from other arcane spells you gain access to. Your spellbook's form and name are up to you. It might be anything from a sturdy book with a secure latch entitled Theses on the Stratagems of Supernatural Warfare to a tattered collection of training pamphlets with your name scrawled on the cover.

Each time you gain a level, you add two more arcane spells to your spellbook, of any level of spell you can cast. You can also use the Arcana skill to add other spells that you find in your adventures (see Learn a Spell). Though you lose some lower spell slots as you increase in level, you keep the spells in your spellbook and can prepare them in your higher-level slots as normal.

If you have a spellbook from multiple sources (such as being a magus with the Wizard Dedication feat), you can use the same spellbook for all your spells.
