OMG I love it!

Hi!

Just wanted to share with you this silly little thing I made for my gaming party. I'm GMing Agents of Edgewatch for them. They had a TPK against That Bastard and then resumed the campaign with a new batch of recruits, a monkey-goblin investigator who was experimented on (sort of a Mojo-Jojo, but not evil), a hobgoblin son of Oprak's ambassador in Absalom that wants to prove himself worthy of his ascendance, a human Paladin of Iomedae and an iruxi fighter that ended up surviving in Absalom's Puddles after being abducted from his home to be sold as a slave.

It's got quite some absurd humor, especially regarding inner jokes like the mini of the Paladin resembling Obi Wan Kenobi or the lizardfolk being a wetlander so we always joke about him sneaking from below the water to scare unsuspecting passers-by.

I see a crucial problem here.

For example, if the PC with an animal companion wants to flee from the battle, they have to use one of their actions to Command the Animal to make two Strides, and thus, both would be only using two of their actions to Stride, whereas a character without an animal companion would be circa 33% faster each round, which doesn't seem very logical. The same goes for continuing to attack an obvious threat. Maybe attacking a demon does require the animal to be forced to it, but attacking e.g. another animal seems only natural if it's threatening the companion or the master.

I guess these rules are in place in order to give the action economy the central place it holds in PF2, and it's trying to reflect the fact that you have to concentrate in order to command an animal to do things. But sometimes it just doesn't seem logical.

There's still much time until my group starts this adventure, so maybe it'll be irrelevant by then, but... I'm having a bit of trouble with the raid on Cypress Point.

I'm not entirely sure a group of four adventurers will feel compelled to go to an entirely unknown town and help? Even if they're good-natured, it could be looked at as getting in big trouble and not being able to tend to what they have to do.

Dunno. Such a scenario just popped into my head and I'm trying to find a convincible way to lure them towards the town beyond just there being ruckus.

It may be right under my nose, but I can't seem to find it anywhere!
What are the DCs for various monster abilities derived from? For example, a dragon's breath weapon indicates a DC, but, which conditions alter that value?

Hi! I'm a usual GM, since I am the most familiarized in my group with Pathfinder rules.

I'd like to be a player for a turn, and I'm open for almost anything, preferably PF2.

I'm from Spain, and live there, so English is a foreign language to me, but I have a high proficiency, so that shouldn't be a problem. My time zone is GMT+2, but I can adapt (I work only several days a month right now).

PS: I'm GMing Age of Ashes, but I'd be open to take part as a player (I'd enjoy it as much and I'm all about getting immersive with my characters, so metagaming shouldn't be an issue).

This is at a feast in honour of the PCs so it's not out of the question that she tell the story in Common for their sake. Some elves might know enough to follow along, others are just following along her intonation and gestures. It wouldn't be the first feast for the elves, so they know how they're supposed to respond when a story is told, even if they didn't understand the words

You're absolutely right! Thank you!

Renali is specifically cited as a translator for the PCs if none of them speak Elven or Mwangi.

Well, she is, but she may not come along with them!

------
Now, on a completely different note, I've come to the part where it is proposed to substitute Gerhard with his identical twin.

I personally think this is not the best option, because it substracts a lot of impact from having dispatched the archeologist upon first meeting him; but I guess there's a million ways to make it not seem like the DM's dismissing your efforts.

I think Nketiah is the tribe's main interpreter, so she'd probably just repeat the story to the PCs in common afterward.

That is indeed her role. When I play this part I will simply say that she alternates languages as she speaks.

That was the first option I thought, but it somehow clashed with the theatrical quality of the storytelling I envisioned as I read the paragraph.

I thought about this as well and how it doesn't make sense for her to common in front of the entire clan, while on the other hand it doesn't make sense to just read the paragraph as written if she speak elven or mwangi.

I think i will simply describe how Nketiah calls for an elf to act as translator for the sake of the players.

That's another option, but I really struggle with which one is best.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback!! It'll certainly prove to be useful when I get to that part!!

I want to discuss a point that has been flying around in my mind after reading Cult of Cinders.

In p. 23, during the Event 7 The Storyteller's Circle, Nketiah starts telling the story of the Great Darkness and how it was defeated by the Ekujae millennia ago, but it does not state in what language she does this.

During the previous events, it is pointed out here and there that most Ekujae elves have trouble communicating with the characters unless they understand Elven or have some sort of magical way to understand foreign languages without prior study.

I'm guessing Nketiah tells the story in Elven, or the rest of the Leopard Clan would be clueless and then the scene wouldn't take place as it is described. Yet there may be no character who speaks or understands that language—luckily, that is not my case, since I've got an elf in the group, as well as a human rogue who tries to impress her by learning her language and some magic—,but this makes me wonder how others have jumped this hurdle.

Necromancy at its finest. Worms nice and plump!

Question! In the anniversary book, it explicitly states its attack is made with touch mechanics.

So, even if the attacked character has a ghost touch armour that protects against incorporeals, it wouldn't help???

Hi!

I've been lucky and already have my copy of PF2 at home!

I have a doubt about the initial proficiencies of most spellcasting classes. I don't find which proficiency rank they get at 1st level with their class DC. This happens with bards, clerics, sorcerers and wizards. Yet the druid does indeed have that listed among its initial proficiencies.

Is this some kind of mistake or is it just that they don't need that? By default, would the initial proficiency with class DC be 'trained' as with the rest of the classes?

Thanks in advance and my appologies if I have skipped some paragraph where it is clearly explained, but I don't seem to be able to find more info about it.

I don't like "antipaladin" either. I like the ideas of Reziburno25: Tyrant for LE and Corruptor for NE. For CE, I would propose Destroyer, for example.

That was quick! Thank you! I was trying to find some info about it and didn't find any!

I have a question. Will there by any character creation guide in the new edition for evil champions or what antipaladins used to be or will there only be the three good archetypes depending on their position in the law-chaos spectrum?
