When making 10th level PCs for this, would we use the PF2e Treasure for New Characters (table 10-10) to determine gear or another method?

Is this PC only or will it be on consoles as well?
On page 112 of the playtest document in the Soldier section under Suppressing Fire section it says "A suppressed target takes a –1 circumstance penalty on attack rolls and takes a –10-foot status penalty to its Speeds." However on page 256 under conditions it says "You take a –1 circumstance penalty to attack rolls and take a –5-foot status penalty to all your Speeds." Is this an error, or are Soldiers more effective at suppressing targets?
Check out the Season of Ghosts adventure path, it may have what you seek.
I could live with the AC loss, but those saves are just bad at any level.
First of all their save progression is terrible. Starts at Trained Fort, Expert Ref, and expert Will. Not bad, sure. First bump, Fortitude to expert, does not come until 9th level. Next bump, at 11th, is Will to master with success bump. Last comes at 15th, reflex to master with success bump. No legendary saves. Combine that with the fact that neither Dex nor Wis are not going to be very high on most Commanders, it has some of the worst saves in the game. On AC, the problem is that a an INT key attribute class you can't have a +4 STR until 5th level. So that means no +6/+0 armor until 5th level. Therefore you are limited to +5/+1 armor until 5th level and you will lag behind 1 point on AC unless you invest in DEX, which becomes redundant for AC purposes at 5th level. I love the idea of the class and am looking forward to play testing it, but I'm concerned about it living long enough to do it's cool stuff.
Thank you, that's what I thought. I like the idea of chucking a bomb and having Noise Blast or some such going off when it hits.
Can a Starlight Span Magus use Spellstrike with bombs? I can't find anything that says no, but I know I'm quite capable of missing things so I figured I would consult you fine folks.
Thank you for your specific call outs for different types of witches. I've just begun playing Kingmaker with a Resentment witch whose background has draconic symbiology, and I found the info about the Fairie dragon's breath weapon enlightening. I do find the Dragon Trait disappointing as well. It could have included a limited use breath weapon or senses, or something! As for the Wand of Pampered Pet *sigh* Take My Money!
@Unicore Thank you for the idea of using druid as the archetype.
OP Here. Thank you all for your input! I found myself wondering about this as I contemplated a Kitsune Eldritch Trickster Rogue for the Seasons of Ghosts AP campaign that would include the free archetype rules from the GmG. While I feel it would be thematically strong to have both the Sorcerer and Psychic archetypes on a high CHA Rogue, I'm trying to figure out how it would function mechanically and deliver Sneak Attack with cantrips. Any advice would be appreciated
With that change in the Remaster it seems like delivering Sneak Attack with a ranged spell is no longer possible. The wording in Sneak Attack makes no allowances for using spells. Am I missing something?
My question would be, do PCs have the Unique trait, thus raising the DC of RK to ID them?
Well done! Warden spells and Snares were the things I did not like/get about the Ranger. Now PLEASE for the sake of the anthropomorphic animal ancestries find us away to do Twin Takedown and the like with claws and other unarmed natural attacks.
It has always bothered me that you can't ready a 2 action spell in 2e. How am I supposed to cauterize that Hydra neck stump with a Produce Flame spell after the Fighter lops the head off? Therefore I propose a new Ready option that allows you to spend 3 actions on your initiative in order to ready something that takes 2 actions like a spell or Double Slice for example. Anybody see any problems or unforeseen consequences to this?
I made a "Wolf Spider" as an Anadi Animal Instinct (Wolf) Barbarian XD
Fantasy-4
Any word on Foundry VTT as we approach the release date on this?
I support this union and hope that Paizo management will voluntarily recognize it swiftly.
I am fairly certain this Technomancer is missing 4 skill points. Computers +13 (4 ranks +3 class skill +4 INT +2 insight from skill synergy), Culture +8 (4 ranks +4 INT), Mysticism +8 (4 ranks +3 class skil +0 WIS +2 insight from techlore), Physical Science +12 (4 ranks +3 class skill +4 INT +1 theme), Profession +9 (4 rank +3 class skill +0 CHA +2 insight from skill synergy), Sleight of Hand +10 (4 ranks +3 class skill +3 DEX), Stealth +9 (4 ranks +3 DEX +2 race), Survival +2 (+0 WIS +2 race) A 4th level Technomancer with an 18 INT should have 32 skill points (4 x [4 skill points per level + 4 INT]) but it only has 28 skill points. It's quite possible I'm missing something, but I can't figure it. I would recommend 4 ranks in Engineering as the Ysoki get a +2 racial bonus for a total of +13. I thank anyone who can shed some light on this.
Like many folks I have significantly increased my online play recently. When I search on warhorn for games I encounter games/lodges not allowing non-locals to sign up until the last moment or at all. I also find some games/lodges limiting table size to less than OP legal limits, usually 5 players. Is this legal in organized play?
I found the following on the Starfinder character options page : Ownership of Adventures or Adventure Path volumes is not required to use Character Options originally published in Adventures or Adventure Paths in the Starfinder Society campaign, as long as rules are referenced from the official Starfinder Resource Document (sfrd). A player must still have a chronicle sheet from a Scenario to use any options in that Scenario.
I want to buy my Mystic of Nyarlathotep an Artificial Third Eye, but I don't know if I can.
"You pretty wise Didy, we do it that way." BumBum will open the secret door when everyone is ready.
The Demoralize action under Intimidation has a range of 30 feet.
We are going to knock this guy out again, whomever has the best check will tie him up well, then we will hang him off the cliff about 15 feet down, gagged, and upside down. Any extra rope in the shed? After hanging the Gozreh piñata BumBum will go back inside beyond the green curtain and start listening at and searching doors for Hazards, starting at the NE door.
BumBum will turn on him. "I's not eaten all day"
"Ooh's goodness the Mayor! Shoulda thought somethin' was wrong when's we didn't see you at the party." "More craziness! Who them guys, and what happened? BumBum will move between the Mayor and the curtain, peeking behind it stealthily to see if more threats are lurking.
In the digitization blog thread there is discussion of the one minion rule (OMR), limiting players to having one minion. I have questions about that. What if you are a Leaf Order Druid with Order Explorer (Animal Order)? Does the OMR mean I can't have a companion and a familiar even though those feats and orders seem to be intended for just that? What about summoned creatures and figurines of wondrous power? They both have the minion trait. Does that mean, by the OMR, that PCs with familiars or companions can't cast summon spells or activate the figurines? I have little doubt that I don't know all the details, but it seems this was not thought out.
"Mr. Nellyn priest man, that other door to you's room? You want's us to check it for monsters? Maybe look under the bed? BumBum grimaces. "Thanks for the dog thing and the shiny." He then mumbles "Would rather have the gold than another dog, but ok"
"You are probably thinking of PF1, it worked differently in that edition." (Grognard moment) Thinking back a lot longer than that ;) I think the concept of "harm" is the problem here. Is doing non lethal "harm"? If I command a summoned creature to do a trip action is it "harm"? If I make my allies better at harming you is it "harm"? If I cast a sustained area effect spell that an enemy walks into on his turn have I done "harm" on his turn? I see this as widely open to interpretation, and I think it deserves clarification or there will be significant table variation.
Plz note i am currently undecided on this myself, just trying to consider all the ramifications. Like with Inspire Courage. Is giving an attack bonus indirectly causing harm? It seems like it should be, as it ups the chance harm will be caused.
If sustaining a flaming sphere is a hostile action that would break invisibility, then would sustaining a summoned creature that attacks also break invisibility? The conjurer who summons from invisibility is a long standing tactic. What about using an action to order an animal companion or familiar to attack? Or inspire courage? In this case I feel we must think about all sustained actions that could be considered hostile.
BumBum will search the area where we fought the snakes then follow where our group goes avoiding notice.
So many animals in bad place right now! Bitey snakes, Sick snake, Gnawy rats. We piss off druid somewhere?
”Yup, these nets is finked” "Rat finked! Who we know train rats? I go see if I can cheer up Avery. Remind him birds gotta fly." "Maybe that help Axel feel better about act."
’Oh no’s, these nets all finked. Hope I can mend ‘em” "There that should do. Somebody messing with show big time! I bets it Mistress Dusklight.”
