How about something more like:

Effect: Damage 6d6 (Fire)
Save: Reflex (Double/Normal/Half/None)
Heightened (+1): +2d6 (Fire)

That way you can use that same format regardless of Basic saves vs Complex saves.

This goes to a philosophy I started to adopt some time last year. That being the idea that we volunteer our time and effort not for Paizo, but for our community.

Spoiler:

Things come up from time to time that make people upset, be it receiving their con support late or not at all, new rules we don’t like or the banning of something existing, the announcement of 2E, not getting a timely response to an email you’ve send or not liking the response when you do, recent events in the SE region, etc. For some, these are all incidents that make you comsider quiting Pathfinder.

I ask you to consider this, do you volunteer or play for the sake of Paizo or for your community? Sure Paizo is the publisher and issues out most of the rewards, but for me, it’s not for them that I volunteer. If Paizo was to diasappear tomorrow or sell the game to another company it wouldn’t matter to me; I would continue to organize games for the players in my community. If I was to be fired as a VO by Paizo, I would still organize and GM in my community. Why? I play this game because I enjoy it and because I have a fondness for the time I spend with the community. I’ve met some of my best friends through OP not the least of which is the love of my life. This community has been centrally important to me for more than a decade. Would I be upset if I was fired from my role for something I didn’t feel I deserved? I’m sure I would be, but I appauld Michael’s decision to continue to be a leader in the community, to organize, to GM, to play. That is what makes all the difference to his community, not some badge on his shirt. For that, Michael has my respect.

Unfortunately, this is one of the reasons that I've suggested maybe we don't need Paizo to be involved at all locally for us to be able to organize games. If we really are just doing the work for ourselves and to facilitate fun with people in our own region, I don't see why we are bothering to submit ourselves under a regime that we disagree with. We have been given no vote as to the people that are in charge and we seem to have no voice when we raise issues. Given the number of people that seem to expect no change from Paizo, I don't understand why we need PFS to be structured under them, the scenarios are bought by almost everyone involved anyway and they are publicly available for purchase. The only response that I've really received that would be an issue is #1 the access to run specials and #2 the ability to receive race boons for GM's at conventions.

"No taxation without representation"

The point is we don't know the specifics of this situation. And if the details can't be posted here in this thread, so we can all find out what went down and judge for ourselves if it was fair, then this thread is pointless. You can't expect everyone on the Paizo forums to go wandering all over the internet looking for information on a situation that doesn't concern us.

Most of the concerns raised that you should care about here is that there have been several posts trying to talk about this on these boards. The entire threads (not just posts) have been removed (permanently deleted, not just locked) from these forums. If you choose to allow Paizo to censor the things that you are asking about, then you will never get the answers (or accountability) that you (we) seek. The only way to get the answers is to look at places that Paizo doesn't have that level of control.

I just need to post here to state that there seems to be an issue currently with how Paizo is handling some affairs in the NC area.

Specifically threads are getting locked or much worse deleted because they seem to express opinions that Paizo seems to disagree with. These are threads that are literally just end users asking fair questions of the Paizo management, but rather than respond in any way, the moderators are taking it on themselves to delete the threads, seemingly hoping that the problem will go away.

Instead what you are doing is censoring your community. Hiding problems is not a responsible way to manage a community and will cause long term damage if it continues.

Please stop removing posts of reasonable people asking reasonable questions about information that impacts their ability to participate in PFS in their regions. Instead respond to the inquiries, make the facts of the matter public, explain yourselves, and let your community respond. Being held accountable for your actions is important to us and hoping that these problems will go away on their own is both irresponsible and unreasonable.
