That's pretty awful. If the construct goes to 0 even once, you basically lose your main class feature for the rest of the day. The inventor's construct can go down three times before they're destroyed. ![]()

Why? It's a PvE game. You can benefit from it without buying anything. The RIP benefits largely just keep your character from becoming unplayable. The money goes towards small-time retailers in an industry with low profit margins. Most game stores and gaming places in my area charge $25 to $40 table fees anyway. I'm struggling to see what's socially irresponsible about this. ![]()
![]() Pathfinder options at reasonable AcP costs? Simplified rewards system that don't punish you for not finding all the "treasure bundles?" Treasure that's actually treasure you can keep and instead of having to buy it? Bespoke rewards and content, including two ancestries? No mandatory faction system? Shorter scenarios? Oh yes please. ![]()
![]() I'm interested to see what PF2 content will be allowed. I'm itching to play a runesmith as a graffiti artist inspired by Jet Set Radio. So far, I'm loving everything I see, especially being able to start at higher levels. There's a lot of concepts that just don't work until level 4 or 6 and even more that don't work until level 2. ![]()
![]() Howl of the Wild 74 (Thlipit Contestant archetype) The lash unarmed attack cannot be used with Lunge (Player Core 142), which is listed as one of the archetype's additional feats. It appears the feat was listed with intent of being used with the archetype's unarmed attack. Suggestion Add the following sentence to Thlipit Contestant Dedication's text: "Treat the unarmed attack as a melee weapon for the Lunge feat." ![]()

I have two friends who took some convincing to not just give up on PFS entirely. They were excited to play their Osiriani characters and had artwork drawn and commissioned. I wasn't expecting almost an entire iconic pantheon to get wiped out, especially one tied to real-world mythologies with a major presence in popular culture. I'm hoping future releases elaborate on this and maybe provide new Osirion deities. ![]()
![]() Losing half the Ancient Osirion pantheon is incredibly brutal. Neither War of Immortals nor Divine Mysteries elaborate how it happened. Only a summary in War of Immortals. My friends who love Egyptian-themed characters are devastated by this. Even those that bought the books were totally blindsided by it. ![]()

Ouch, that's really rough, considering what deities are included in that list. Spoiler: That includes half of the Ancient Osirion pantheon, and the other half weren't reprinted in Divine Mysteries. I'm shocked how little War of the Immortals mentions this despite it being the premise of the book.
This news devastated one of my friends who wanted to play an Egyptian-themed character in PFS. ![]()
![]() I only have an issue with skill challenges when they're designed poorly or run incorrectly. A good skill challenge encourages roleplaying. A bad skill challenge forces players to roll-play. A good skill challenge has the GM present an open-ended problem and allows players to decide how to solve it. Specific skills are only mentioned when the GM adjudicates the player's proposed solution or when players are stumped and need a hint. A bad skill challenge has the GM present a problem and then explicitly lists the solutions. GM lists the skills; player rolls the one with the highest bonus; end turn. There's no decision-making here. Chases earned their notoriety because they almost always fell into this structure in 1st Edition. ![]()
![]() Any chance we can get a clarification for Thlipit Contestant's interaction with the Lunge feat? Thlipit Contestant lists Lunge as a feat, which only works with melee weapons. It seems clear that the author intended that you can Lunge using the archetype's lash unarmed attack, but that's not the case as written. Otherwise, it would be incredibly weird that an archetype revolving around an unarmed attack would have a feat that doesn't work with it. ![]()

Even though I made him as a skinwalker in 1E, and never got to play him, I think the Society would benefit from having a weretiger fighter who hates mornings as a member. This would also tie in with my request for character import from PF1 for characters under a certain level (4th or so) in order to get some of those unused GM characters played. Or at least lower the price of beastkin. I never understood why they're Rare despite untamed druids and barbarians being incredibly commonplace. ![]()
![]() The remastered draconic and demonic bloodlines for the sorcerer completely replace their focus spells with new ones that have different names. Would the team consider making a ruling that draconic/demonic sorcerers can choose whether to gain the Core 2 focus spell or the CRB focus spell? The old spells grant unarmed attacks, which are desirable for players with melee combat sorcerers. Removing them would also be incredibly disruptive for PC concepts that rely on them. I'm not seeing any compelling reason why these focus spells should become totally inaccessible. It appears the spells were replaced in order to grant less niche options. Also, the Draconic Options Table in Lorespire appears to have a typo: the Crystal Dragon erroneously has fire damage instead of piercing damage. ![]()

1. So new sorcerers can never choose the dragon bloodline options in Core Rulebook? 2. Is there a way for new sorcerers to get the old demonic and dragon bloodline focus spells? The ones in Player Core 2 are completely different, and there are character concepts that would prefer to have the unarmed attack spells instead of the new spell attack spells. 3. Is there an error with the Crystal Dragon option? Crystal dragons have breath weapons that deal piercing damage, but the crystal dragon bloodline has fire as their damage. Quote: Some ancestries had a pair of ancestry weapon feats at 1st and 5th level. The 5th-level feats have been removed and their effect (adding critical specialization) is now including in each corresponding Remastered 1st-level feat. Characters that took one of the following 5th-level feats replace that feat with another feat of their choice immediately 4. Does this apply to non-remastered ancestries with these options? 5. All remastered ancestries have lore feats that grant Additional Lore with their respective ancestry Lore. What about non-remastered ancestries? I have a kitsune with the Kitsune Lore feat that took Additional Lore for Kitsune Lore. ![]()
![]() I'm glad there's now a way for fans to sell IP merch, but this is basically the death of Pathfinder and Starfinder 1e content, with only a month of advanced notice. This means I'll have to scrap a project I've put a lot of hours into. I also tend to release my ancestry titles with conversions for previous editions. I won't be able to do that anymore. ![]()
![]() This all sounds like good stuff, but the article doesn't touch on what mysteries actually do now, aside from adding a few spells to your spell list and determining what happens when your cursebound condition goes up. The second biggest issue I had with the oracle is that the class didn't realize the fantasies that the mysteries are supposed to enable. ![]()
![]() The text says "Weapons with the kickback trait don’t gain that
Full stop. I agree this change was probably meant to be a buff to long air repeaters, but that's not what the text says. At the very least, I think it should be clarified in PFS sanctioning. There will be GMs who will interpret this in the worst way. ![]()

Long air repeaters have an air cartridge firing system by default, as per the firing system's description. The text makes it clear that any weapon with the system doesn't benefit from the kickback trait. I also can't find any option in Guns and Gears that lets you replace it with a gunpowder system.

![]() Quote: Page 151: Long air repeater table entry updated to clarify that it is two-handed. It now has the kickback trait. Was this an intended nerf to the long air repeater? Weapons with air cartridge firing systems get all of the drawbacks but none of the perks of the kickback trait. The one-handed air repeater already felt like a much better weapon because it does the same damage, only requires a single hand, and has the agile trait. ![]()

Do they go to a new god? I think that would add a lot of good fluff to the campaign and characters. Play a thaumaturge or a divine witch/sorcerer. Keep pretending to be a cleric. "Gorum's not dead. He's just sleeping!" I did this with an Arodenite in 1st Edition. Honestly, now I'm kinda tempted to do it with a summoner having the time traveler background. |
