Elkator's page

I am the player of Roc the stormborn druid.

My first impressions of the game are generally positive, though my perspective is limited as I've not read the whole book nor experimented with the other classes save for helping other players build their characters.

I like the new hit point system. Finally 1st level characters aren't one good hit away from death. Good on you paizo.

The new initiative system is something I also like though I only read about it/got it explained to me. I'm glad that there isn't one stat governing initiative anymore (at least not all the time).

The 3 action combat system is perfectly fine in my opinion. It gives the opportunity for some creative shenanigans, like my shoot heavy crossbow, drop, take normal crossbow shoot again tactic. Even if I have horrible luck when it comes to hitting things (in all systems). The movement tweeks I find interesting and have a few ideas why it was done the way it was, I'll have to see how it works in later parts.

There are 3 things that slowed down the game for me during combat:
-Attack of opportunity rules
-Power
-Spell DC

AoO and Power has been talked about already by the others so I'm just mentioning it because I have nothing more to add on that front.

Spell DC however is a bit of a gripe. When I'm playing as a caster. I usually go between the spell descriptions and my class page for my info. I don't want to go to a third page if I can help it. However, in the class section it merely redirects me to the how to calculate DCs on page 291. If I could change one thing that would be it. Just put the formula of save DCs on the respective class page.

I'll probably have more to say once we hit higher levels.
