Brain tumor?

no. not tumor.

in the thread I posted, find the google drive links.
you can have everything there. everyone can.

I couldn't get support,
I couldn't get help,
I couldn't get anything.
I've been alone doing this ever since 2001.
ever since BRC F ing up psionics with his "mind wizards" for Game 3.0 e

I think everything I have made, paid for, looked at or had A.I. vomit forth, is in those folders.

you'll see. I was never lying.
I am crazy. I am "on the way out".
but I never lied about my love for psionics.

As a neurodivergent person myself who so often is confused by what people are talking about and has been told creates confusion myself, I sympathize with OP here! I'm still not entirely sure what you mean, OP, but if you have any questions, please direct them here!

not spam.

I don't understand anything that happened in this thread.

hey... psst. what do you think of the bard class game balance?

incase none of you get it...

I was the "third person"
(NOTE: IA M NOT CLAIMING TO HAVE WRITTEN THE CLERIC OR IT'S FEATURES.)
and my description for "Not-necromancy" that I gave above, was a class variant (much like cleric disciplines allowing for different types of cleric) or class archetype (like the cleric "battle harbindger") for the psionicist class geist discipline, the telekinetic types.

the "NECROKINETIC"

no need to be testy.
I'm already on borrowed time.
peace out. Deuces!

They have a new thread in which they are claiming they had the original idea for the Psychic class on Pathfinder Infinite, which Paizo stole to put in Dark Archive. At least that's as much of the message as I can work out.

Me to my Google drive...

"Give this file" ia sais.
it sez, "restricted or fur eberybum?"

four evribum, including the "oh deer lord".

my first tome of psionics was published Aug 19th 2019. based on materials from the pathfinder 2e playtest.

enjoy.

Dear Paizo,

you can hire me,
I will work for the sole privilege of being able to share my ideas with you all. I.e. Free. last I checked... you seem to be missing a psychic warrior class.

A good place to start is Pathfinder Infinite, where you can publish your ideas referencing Paizo's material. It shows a bit more commitment than just making some forum posts, too.

somebody did that...

no. that wasn't ever asked for. that is not what the author asked for.
money is not what PFI is about.
somethings are freely shared without conditions,
truth can be stranger than fiction,
did the author hear them?
what book was that?

Can they talk to the author? yes.
but please, use e-mail this time.

...

Story matters, right?

Hold on can you back up? What's your problem with the blog post?

I got zero problems. I like writing. do you like reading? you should try it!

psst... corrections:
Speak with dead is remastered =
read objects is a feat remastered =

so yeah. Paizo, Hire me. I provide my own funions and raw hide jerky sheets.

Dear Paizo,
you can hire me,
I will work for the sole privilege of being able to share my ideas with you all. I.e. Free. last I checked... you seem to be missing a psychic warrior class.

geez, seems like ideas for content just pour out of players who bother learning the lore.

A side note...

why aren't there any divine magic items of Iomedae, Arazni, etc. that were made (exist) to oppose the Godslayer, the Tyrant, THE TAR BAPHON... and all his widdle culties of de "whispering no way"?

Charge of the light brigade anyone?
what if this was a troop of undead asked to sacrifice for their homeland, their people, their faiths, their loved ones...

one last time?

it can really help, when the writers have done the required research and reading of mythical experiences... to write something that actually doesn't feel like "undeserved power, for losers who will never earn it" and or "World of Warcraft" button pushing...

Player, "in my rotation, I now push-button number 8 to summon the ghost of fourth edition which tanked for this very reason!"

One person said elsewhere, "Dark. Though I do wonder how people using this class would interact with people associated with Pharasma."
Another said, "My wife actually plays a "Pharasmin Priest" Necromancer.
Uses his powers to call on the wandering spirits that haven't yet passed on and gives them a final blaze of glory in a push to move them on to the Boneyard."

a third person said regarding the first comment above, "Not very well, like a war cleric of urgathoa player trying to participate in "Fall of Plaguestone", because that player really likes Scythes... but doesn't bother to look up the history of ISGER, the GoblinBlood Wars, nor the history of Northern Andoria aka "darkmoon Vale"... very real reasosn why I won't allow a Goblin, Hobgoblin, Orc, or anyone who delights in disease, death, plague, undead, and urathoa's secret "appetites" I.e. romancing undead and cannibalism. UGH! SO NOT ALLOWED!"
Same "third person"... Continues, "Pathfinder infinite has a few "Investigator" methodologies that revolve about Spirit mediumship. "your spiritual gifts obligate you to serve two worlds; the living who need counsel and consellation... the dead who need to fullfill a task left undone, or to once more be reminded of a moment from the life they had lived." seems, that your great Gramma's spirit might want to pass on her unique "Chicken and Dumplings" recipe the cures one stage of permanent enfeeble or something..."
Same "third person"... Continues, "Or another ghost, might long to "perform opera in opara", yet "another from Viridian might want to make amends to those family(s) he'd wronged in life [now their descendants]." still another from Adoran, just might want to savor a specific Brandy one last time... The Ghost of a girl who never got to grow up might wish to experience her "first kiss". not all of this is evil... plenty of Biblical "Seers" who did such things. Not all Spirit mediums (the real "witch of Endor") are blindly taking cues from King Saul and yoinking the Prophet samuel out of divine rest and reward, just to "Chat"..."
"third person"... ends with, "an Alternative to capturing freed souls and binding them into unending torement, misery, and slavery... is simply stating, "in a weird way your telekinesis attaches to the lingering resonances in physical remains (like the memories and ectoplasm that "speak with dead" and "object reading" gather information from) The remains are merely a set of "Rods", "Levers", "Fulcrums", "Joints" with a "memory" of how to stand/move on their own. This kind of "Puppetry" is not VOID and not true "Necromancy" and therefore is immune to Clerical turning, and related effects (alchemist's "Saint's pinky bone bomb"?)."

the second speaker from above ends the discussion with, "Absolutely right.
Nothing about how Necromancer is presented in PF2 locks you into any kind of "Dark overlord raising hordes of unliving suplicants"
Sure, the room is there to play that way, but it doesnt have to be."

okay...
Yesterday I joined a PFS Game. level 1.

it was fun. my character came out of it with wounded 2.
as we only had three players, I also took on Amiri the barbarian.
Amiri was wounded 1 at the end.

A Kyra player and a player of a Summoner were there. The summoner stayed back, and the eidolon used ranged attacks. Kyra kept us healed in combat and applied medicine, treated wounds, out of combat.

3rd player? Dwarf, rogue, ruffian racket. Breastplate, steel shield, ball mace. you stand beside the elf as the two shields that protect the "back packs" you need to pick up alchemical crafting for the bombs and lesser elixir. a blasting stone, alchemist fire? Take the dwarven lore ancestry feat. crafting? yes. only you can make "Dwarf items".

you aren't blind when there is a key-hole or other way to view mechanism innards. you can also take lore skills: Locksmithing, architecture, clockwork, engineering. maybe the Game master will give you a better DC against certain traps?

why the alchemy though? you will never know when the writers will throw bug swarms at you, get a flaming property rune and be the party torch bearer.

your backpack is a halfling cleric of sarenrae. why? because you need heals and undead aren't fair.

All right. I spent my frustrations.

I am thinking a balanced party might be:

1. Elf Fighter: long sword, Steel shield, Chain mail. Str +4, Dex +2, Con +1 int +1 wis +1 charisma? 0. most important skills: Athletics, Acrobatics, Stealth, nature, Crafting. As a Deep diver background you get underwater marauder, try to earn control breath, then steady balance and then combat climber...

Why? yes, this is a "townie" elf you can find them anywhere. however, his past as a sponge diver, or a pearl diver, or oyster, clam, crayfish, crab, fisherman is his. His Lore: Sailor or something like that speaks to his experience working on a ship. why nature? because you want to ride mounts when needed!

His future? Magical crafting feat. He wants to make "elf longswords" Elf Shields" "elf chain" "elf cloaks" "elf boots"... and people should understand how and why that is separate and special.

2. His "backpack" - a player dedicates to making sure the fighter stays alive and buffed.

Human Bard, maestro muse. spell: Soothe a dn runic weapon, cantrip guidance, light, detect magic, read magic. With a high charisma being the FACE is this player's job. please be competent at speaking yourself player. Deception, Diplomacy, Intimidation, Society.
virtuoso performer, in combat: 1. Buff and buff: runic weapon, guidance. 2. Sing courageous anthem. 3. activate "lingering composition and start "healing hymn" you spent your ancestry feat (natural ambition) to get it!

as a "backpack" player, expect to die. be ready for it. if the fighter dies? yes, your next.

the travel guide said that the vast majority of the mortals NEVER encounter anything supernatural, never see any monsters, it's all la-dee-dah...

what does that mean? how can that be? I can't swing a cat without hitting an arcane academy!

get rid of the woke incongruities in Pathfinder. STOP IT.
Embrace the brutal realities. there is no safety. there is no security. civilization is a thin veil that requires LAWS to be enforced.

get back to having a MORALITY, Get back to SAYING NO, GET BACK TO RESEARCHING FOR YOUR WRITING! GET BACK TO HAVING PURPOSE, LOGIC, and diversity, (real diversity not the play-pretend garbage) Geography needs to matter, culture needs to matter, temperature climes need to matter!

everyone "being equal" means no one can succeed, no one can excel, no one can be a hero. your character creation makes an 18 and a 16 automatic, but that's it! the difference is MOOT when your die roll is a d20!

example: when did Golarion learn to coke coal? when did they learn to make steel? what about alloys? chromium steel? Moly steel? Tungsten items? the answer is You don't know, and there are so many other "holes" showing ignorance it isn't even funny! Reminds me of someone saying "uh, Cartomancy isn't a thing. like, what do carts have to do with magic?"

I hate reading Tolkien, because it strikes me as dry, verbose, and easily sidetracks me the reader. I may as well be trying to recite all of the phone books in the world. However, I NEED FANTASY ADVENTURE that is grounded in a reality. Does anyone understand? I need details, I need facts, I need morality, I need EXPLORATION to show how different we all are... I need some "truth" in my games.

please do not try to shove everything into a "safe space".

EVIL IS REAL. DANGER IS NOT PRETEND.

the whole vibe that everything is potentially friendly, there is no right or wrong - only hedonist whims...

what is the point?

So, first off.

1. get serious about adventure writing. if you can totally toss away the idea of adventuring 500 years after the fall of rome to embrace something impossible, or camp, or wacky, or comedy, and a pfs player's options are rule bound?

I call B.S.
2. Level 1, is LEVEL 1!
3. STOP LYING, the math isn't tight. Players are at a disadvantage because each dice roll, each encounter, could be their last but none of you writers seem to "see that". if there is a 50% chance of failure: that is too high! may as well flip a coin to see which tables with fail (UNLESS THEY CHEAT)
3. Stop trying to "F" with the players! Imagine someone who really likes the character they made. A 7 ft 4 inch tall barbarian +4 strength who loves swinging a great axe, the last thing that player wants to do is "squeeze" through a 2ft wide tunnel that has twists, turns, absolute darkness, and surprise... a CAVE FISHER! isn't going to be happy when they die because they can't draw a dagger and can't fight back.

It irks me something fierce that the untrained guy who isn't prepared is just fine, (I'm A-ok!), while the RANGER LEVEL 4, +3 wisdom SURVIVAL EXPERT who planned ahead, purchased needed consumables and so on.

Can die, because of a single die roll.

oh the irony.

the whole, "you'd best role higher than 15 to do anything (like, tie your shoes)"... yeah, about that. I keep hearing how the math is supposed to be "tight" but if a party MUST, and I do mean MUST come up with 3x +1 buffs, and a few debuffs say -4 in penalties on the foe... you are not going to make it.

the most stupid thing I see in pathfinder is a party scrambling to apply a penalty to a monster and "wah-wah" it was immune to that all along.
or my favorite...

ENDS at the end of your turn.
ENDS before the monster turn starts.
ENDS in less than ONE ROUND!

seriously

what in the hell is with all that?
who ever wrote that garbage needs to be kicking rocks.

Cast "Organ sight"... it's magic right? it's a spell right? so why do I need to HOPE I HAVE MEDICINE and HOPE I HAVE THE SPECIFIC CREATURE LORE?

very rapidly, I see a set of trends in spells learned as characters level. I can't walk past a PFS game without hearing... "I use bon mot, AND THEN I CAST laughing FIT!" back into the *RUTS* you go, PAIZO, your biggest threat to organized play is *BURN OUT*.

and B.S. talking friendly Muppet monsters (Oh I am a good mimic, nice otyugh[spelling])

Haunts inflict more damage than 4 orc barbarians. Seriously, what the HELL!

Hello, I am new... but not blind. I see a lot of adventurer's where in the adventure is clearly meant for higher level players (DC's and challenges) I note that certain creature special attacks are "instant kill" ala a threat level 3 carnivorous plant (LARGE SIZE, SWALLOW WHOLE) can tpk entire parties, hell... I watched actual plays over the years and seeing everyone panic about the 5ft drop in the boxed set.

Sometimes it's like: WHY DIDN'T YOU HAVE UNDERWATER MARAUDER AND BREATH CONTROL STEADY BALANCE, COMBAT CLIMBER, AND LORE: SAILOR AT LEVEL 1! or, WHY DOESN'T ANYONE HAVE LORE: PATHFINDER SOCIETY? or Lore: Painting artists of korvosa? WHY DOESN'T ANYONE HAVE LORE UNDEAD? OR LORE: ABERATIONS! or, WHY IS NO ONE PLAYING A FIGHTER and WHY IS THERE NO ONE THROWING BUFFS ON SAID FIGHTER?

at first level... that fighter with runic weapon and guidance, is likely +5 ahead of anyone else's roll to hit. a shame your party got tpk'd because flavor of the month weapon thaumaturge couldn't hit anything.

at level 1, it is "I hope you guys built a party that works together and has a little skill overlap.

I am beginning to think that player death, even Total party wipes are the intended GOAL. it leaves a sour taste in my mouth...
