Thank you to everyone who put this mystery together. Solving it with other PF2 fans has been incredibly enjoyable and has made me feel much more a member of the pf2 community.
White moth search? Yeah. There are a bunch of white moths hidden in the art of the Dark Archive book. We think it’s tied in to the secret messages that Paizo has been sending out as Lost Pages of the Dark Archive from K.H.W., like a giant mystery puzzle game. We’re calling it the Dark Archive Alternate Reality Game or ARG and have been discussing it on the pf2 discord and Reddit.
K.H.W, Though your pages may now be lost, we’ll find them. We’re drawn to the Truth like moths are drawn to - well, you know, of course, you know. Be seeing you!
Hi, So i am trying to teach myself the new system by building a dwarf fighter. I started at level 1 and have been going level by level. I just hit level 5 and get 4 free ability boosts. I boosted strength to 19, constitution to 18, Dexterity to 14 and wisdom to 16. Constitution is the problem. So far I have been adding 13 hit points per level when I level up (10 from fighter and 3 from con modifier). When I increase my con at 5th level do i retroactively get more hit points for my previous level (like you would in 1st edition) or do i only starting getting the extra hp at 5th level. I scoured the rule book for every mention of increasing hp and boosting con and found nothing. Any thoughts?
Big spoilers here Spoiler: So I am DMing this for my wife and friends and we are in book 3 having just done the early parts of longshadow (they convinced Mayor Thom to let them help by defeating his advisors in a verbal duel and they are working on longshadow's defenses and just rooted out the disguised infiltrators and the bugbear assassins. But an interesting thing keeps coming up. The party keeps capturing Ironfang legion soldiers or mercenaries like the dopplegangers alive and interrogating them and interestingly enough the party keeps trying to offer them mercy. My wife in particular who is playing a Half-orc has become very empathetic to the idea that the Ironfang Legion just wants a nation of their own. Her mother was an orc forced into service by Molthune who was saved by her father a Nirmathi soldier and they fell in love. She believes that although the Ironfang's tactics and use of slaves are wrong, their ultimate goal (or at least stated goal) of creating their own nation may be just. I have been thinking a lot about something Crystal Frasier wrote in the opening to War for the Crown: Crownfall about PCs wanting to leave their world a better place. If my party wants to try to make peace with Azaersi after they defeat Zanathura and establish some way for the Hobgoblins and other ironfang soldiers to become part of Nirmathas, is that feasible? Are there any other things I could seed into the remaining adventures to build towards this? I just feel really proud of my players for even thinking this way especially after the Ironfang legion hurt their families when they invaded Phaendar. If this is the route they choose to go I want to find subtle ways to incorporate this and reward their roleplaying and would love any advice.
Wow thank you so much for replying James. I have noticed that more recent APs are very diverse. Thank you for that. I'm currently trying to recast some major players like the Soldado family and maybe Trinia Sabor.
Hi, So I have mostly GMed more recent campaigns like Ironfang Invasion but I got the CotCT Hardcover for my birthday and am running it now. One of my players, who is mixed race and really felt a kinship for Aubrin in Ironfang Invasion pointed out that every NPC they've met in Crimson Throne so far is white. Looking through the book, the major npcs and villains seem to be exclusively white except for Thousand Bones. I was wondering if this is done on purpose, is Korvosa just not very racially diverse, is it exclusionary to other races? I noticed it is mostly human but didn't realize those humans were also not very diverse. I am thinking of recasting some of the major players with new art. Does anyone foresee that being a problem story wise? Also does anyone have links to resources of character portrait art to help me out? Thanks,
