PF2e feels like a slide towards the Disney Cocomelon Fantasy PG-13 demographic with PCs being offered to be flowers or dolls, which is no doubt better for younger players or family groups- but we're 30 to 40 something year olds who want sex, blood and naughty words in our RPG; not trying to figure out how to make friends (Fist Full Of Flowers... never again).

Chucky would like a word with you.

As would Annabelle!

This is doubly interesting because we know from Lamashtu's story and Aroden death that portfolio grabbing is a thing in this universe. Which mean that even if Arazni won't do it, someone will. and depending on how sought after the portfolio is, it might be the thing that start the war of immortal, rather than the death of the deity itself.

This make the death of Nethys much more plausible because while he's not particularly connected or close to any other deity (and thus his death alone won't really provoke them into war), acquiring the "god of magic" title however is something that would make quite a few of them willing to fight. Be it for the power itself or to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.

Nice to see you coming over to the "Nethys will be ripped apart & die" side!

;p

Nethys...

Back when the gem dragons came out (yes, I'm old...) I was annoyed that Pearl dragons were included next to Ruby, Emerald, etc. (Cause A) I worked in a jewelry store at the time and B) I'm pedantic AF/OCD, depending on what generation you're from.)

I wanted Pearl to be part of a completely new dragon category, based on precious organic products used similarly to gemstones like Ivory, Amber, Coral, Pearl, etc. But I stalled thinking up a fifth and abandoned the idea. :)

Your fifth could be jet (gemstone-quality coal)!

^ Nope!

I rather like how the duplicate foe spell is duplicated! ;p

...or becoming the new deity of magic?
Bye bye Nethys...

With alignment out of the picture, it's entirely possible that playing a more LN cleric of Torag or Erastil who flirts with some of their questionable 'less good' previous characterizations, or a non-vile cleric of a formerly evil god like Norgorber or Lamashtu, focusing on their less sketchy areas of concern (like alchemy or birth) could finally be an option seen as not 'playing the game wrong.'

The removal of alignment is not going to change how we portray established characters, nor is it an opportunity for us to embrace lore errors that we've worked hard to correct.

Ooh, that gives me the notion that there might be a non-evil alternative patron for alchemists (other than Blackfingers), then, which would be cool. Off the top of my head, Abadar (quest for the philosopher's stone, lead to gold, dross to wealth, Artifice and Earth) or Irori (search for perfection, experimentation as meditation, internal alchemy to external alchemy, Knowledge) could make cool non-evil alchemist patrons.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Aakriti has Alchemists for followers.

Laundinmio does not seem evil.
Brigh and Casandalee might fit too. Also Alglenweis, Daikitsu, Magrim, Uvuko, Yelayne, even Yuelral.

There's also the Empyreal Lord Bharnarol!

It was all an illusion!

;p

Advanced Weapons serve to take the ancestry "familiarity" feats attractive to martial classes. Like you normally would not want to use a Dorn-dergar with a Barbarian, but being a Dwarf can make you proficient. It's possible (likely) even that you will consider "a barbarian swinging a giant brick on a chain thereby destroying everything around them" is a fun idea for a character.

I'd go for "a paladin swinging a brick on a rope..." myself! ;)

^ Clear your cookies?

Refreshing &/or logging out-then-back-in doesn't always do that, so... <shrug>

HUZZAH!

Always wanted to try this! <3

Doing something for Australia's deserts would be hard, since all the sizable hot deserts depicted on the world map are already in regions drawing from real-world ones, but I could see the rest potentially fitting in that one mysterious peninsula in southeastern Casmaron. That basically hasn't been covered at all to my knowledge, so it'd be easy to put in something that hasn't been mentioned previously.

Isn't "that one mysterious peninsula in southeastern Casmaron" Vudra??

'Youtiful' by Stray Kids <3

Would 'appendage' work better than 'hand' then?

It's a bit of a selfish wish, but is it possible to make an Owlcat monster to replace an Owlbear?

They just should make multiple monsters that are birds of prey + land predator

Make them all subspecies of griffons. Cheetah+falcon for the speed.

Building on this idea:

;p

Are the Risucho from the Forest of Spirits a namedrop for a new potential 'squirrelfolk' ancestry?

Risu does mean 'squirrel' in Japanese, & we already have kitsune ['fox'] & (soon-to-be) tanuki ['raccoon dog'], so...

???

The reprint should fix this with: "It was worse than a crime, it was a mistake."

Associated with the execution of Louis Antoine, Duke of Enghien in 1804, France. The actual person who said it is disputed.

I probably still won’t see it in a theater. Primarily, once again, because of the run time.

NICE!

Well that's ironic, considering Qadira's parent empire & its own expansions into northern Garund, historically...

Happy to see Arcane, Divine, and Primal re-canonized after their 4e origin and PF2 adoption. Here’s hoping Psionic eventually comes as their Occult equivalent!

...& that they bring back Shadow!

(Maybe even Incarnate? Dunno - "before my time". But the parent has the book & it looked pretty neat!)

Besides the mighty dragon on the ground what is the other draconic creature on the pillar?

An Underworld Dragon?

:-(

So... is that a 'Dandy-Lion' (dandelion) leshy taking on a 'Mysteria' (wisteria) leshy?

:D

COOL!

That ocean in between will be novel, at least! ;D

So lightnings isn't an elemental magic? It's pretty strange when you choose elemental archetype for storm druid and doesn't have any lightning spells like Horison thunder sphere.

From what I've read, elemental air does bludgeoning damage and that is a flavor change from the previous edition. GM's can make house rules if they so choose.

I'm honestly kind of sad that bludgeoning is the default air damage, and not slashing.

Kamaitachi everywhere commiserate* with you, too...

PS. and to help keep things topical, any bets on which iconic D&D beastie makes it to the Silver Screen? ;p

This would be halpful to know!

Not sure... Hook Horror?
Or Tall Mouther!? (Wrong part of Færûn, though...)

Hard to say without knowing much about the plot...

Oh! Owlbear!!

So, is this book like a suped-up version of the Monsters Revisted/Unleashed series from first edition??
Just MOAR! & in Hardcover! but only The One! -- for now...?

:D

There's a tanky shotgun wielding type of gunslinger? Does that mean we have Doomguy now? And what is this "spellshot" thing, for it sounds most interesting!

I'm hoping it's something like what we have in Outlaw Star!

Ooooo...
