![]() Quote: Thinking about it, I thought I had read something about partial cover that was closer to you than your enemy might not have given them cover, but I must have misremembered it. Checking the rules, it only discusses some circumstances that the GM can consider, such as using an arrow slit for cover, or shooting around a corner. That sounds like you're remembering the Low Cover rule from Starfinder. ![]()

![]() Quote: Another thing is that if you took cover you should at least be able to downgrade the amount of protection your cover gives to the enemy if not completely ignore it because if it doesn't you're not really benefiting from it unless some of the enemies are on the other side of the cover, which they probably won't. ...but Cover already isn't always symmetrically applied. Remember, Gm adjudicating the level of cover that makes sense is the primary method and drawing center to center lines on the map is secondary and the cover rules do say that depending on circumstances, the cover levels can be different in the two directions. I'd absolutely agree that more guidance and examples are called for than the PF2 books have (and that was a point I brought up in my SF2 playtest surveys), but let's not act like the rule is something it isn't. ![]()

This seems like some communication fell apart. I never said you need to look at legacy bard to understand remaster bard. You don't need to look at psychic, either. I didn't say "Oh, no, psychic is legacy", as though that was the point in itself. The point is that what you were pointing at in psychic (a legacy class) is specifically a rule about how it interacts with spell components (a legacy rules concept). And if you're making that kind of comparison, then comparing old bard, which also had special rules about spell components, to new bard (which doesn't because those don't exist anymore) is more direct. ![]()

![]() Sure, you could look at psychic... but you don't need to go over to another class to find premaster rules altering how they interact with spell components. CRB bard had those, too. ![]()
![]() Dromaar and Aivurin are Common. Because they aren't specifically called out as having any nonstandard availability in the Character Options Page entry for Player Core, they fall under "All options are of standard availability unless specifically noted otherwise" statement.

![]() I think I remembered the part about escaping through the mouth freeing other creatures in the mouth and then misremembered it applying to the rupture. So the rules don't say that. (I'd definitely still argue that it's the only sound ruling after the creature's stomach is opened up, but it isn't a rule, i just misremembered it as one). ![]()

![]() This is why I consider cutting out of a creature with your backup weapon as one of the use cases of Vicious Swing, if you have it, as well as the more common cases of trying to bash through resistance/hardness or vapitalize on some single attack buffs like Aid and True Target. If you took it, this would be a good time for it. It would average 21 damage, but that makes 24 a slightly above average roll, instead of an "only possible on a crit". EDIT: to expand on that, your odds of 24 damage with that shortsword are still only a bit under 24% on a Vicious Swing regular hit, but the payoff is bigger than on Escaping, if other people get swallowed, since Rupture gets them out, too. ![]()

![]() That is not accurate. CRB page 472 says "Reactions in Encounters Your reactions let you respond immediately to what’s happening around you. The GM determines whether you can use reactions before your first turn begins, depending on the situation in which the encounter happens." It was always case by case. ![]()

There are still people using Roll20, but yes, I've largely seen foundry overtake it. I understand that Foundry still is not the best at supporting screen readers, as much as I personally like the platform, which can be worth considering for at least some users. As for Foundry, it has modules available but is not really a module-based system, either, since setting up tables without buying modules is quite easy, especially with NPCs and monsters being populated into compendium that don't require any kind of purchase. ![]()
![]() Undead are certainly much worse off than living characters, in the number of healing options available (with living characters who have Void Healing in the middle between them). I don't think anyone would try to argue with that. I am slightly confused about this thread, though? There isn't really anything PFS specific about that, and I'm not sure of this was just a thread to vent or if there's also a question that someone (whether or not it's me) can help with? If it's the latter, I'd like to help, but I'm missing it. ![]()

![]() I think you've already given something very close to the answer to that in this thread. Because a kineticist dabbling in alchemy making stringer alchemical poisons than a full time, single class Toxicologist (and other cases of being better at using a class's abilities than the class themselves) is a terrible feeling way for the system to work. Casting can bring up some small shades of that, but they're pretty limited since spell ranks mean you really only see it get weird if a full caster is taking something like a focus spell, that can heighten fully, from a non caster class. ![]()

![]() One. From the Combination weapon rules: Quote: Since a combination weapon is one weapon with two usages, both usages share any fundamental runes. You can put a property rune on a combination weapon as long as it's appropriate for either of the two usages, but if only one of the usages meets the property rune's requirements, the effects of the property rune only apply for that usage. For instance, a vorpal axe musket only applies the vorpal property rune when you're using it as an axe. Due to their complexity, combination weapons can't have another weapon, such as a bayonet or reinforced stock, attached to them.

Ray of Frost did originally add spellcasting attribute modifier, though. And on Foundry, cases like a character built using that spell from an old version of the PF2E Legacy module still having their spell include spellcasting attribute modifier in the damage can happen.

The caster isn't someone like a sorcerer or a psychic with Unleash Psyche active with other class features that add damage to a spell are they? The actual caster was never described. ![]()

![]() There is no general rule to add spellcasting ability modifier to damage rolls for spells. There are specific spells that include that (but very few after the remaster, it used to be common in cantrips). If you're seeing this frequently on Foundry (instead of mistaking some other source of additional damage like sorcerer's Sorcerous Potency feature for ability modifier), it may be that you're playing with an old version of Foundry, running the old versions of cantrips. What spells are you seeing this on? ![]()

![]() So, there isn't a formal definition of "instance of damage", in the book. There is the symmetry with resistance, and Resist All showing that each damage type is addressed separately. And there was this confirmation way back in the PF2 playtest that weaknesses really work that way. The playtest was working with the same rule as the release for this, specifically, so I still consider it valid. So for the original question
Quote: Can someone explain to me where in the Damage Rules it explains where multiple weaknesses can not be trigger if you deal multiple types of damage? As far ashow i read "Instant of Damage" is that ever damage is it's own Instant meaning you need to go through The answer is simply "they don't say that, and it's been confirmed that they don't mean that since before day 1". There are edge cases that are unclear, because of the lack of a formal definition of "instance of damage". And I'd like for that to be cleared up. But this isn't one of them. ![]()
