hmmmm, let's see...

LOVE:
.) Backgrounds (easy to create new ones for homebrew campaigns, since the all follow the same model. I really like that)
.) Action Economy (at least on paper. in theory it makes the game easier and faster, in praxis, of course, battles are at least twice as long and since Run-Hit-Hit and Hit-Hit-Hit are often the best options, fights get really boring real quick)
.) Ancestries/Heritage (at least the concept. it's a nice idea to be able to make my dwarves dwarfier as they level up. unfortunately they're not dwarfy at all for the first 13 levels as it is right now, but that's fine tuning that might even happen in the final product)

HATE:
.) Monsters/NPCs build differently to the PCs to a level that the GM has no idea how and where those numbers come from (especially odd since Goblins are a CRB ancestry now, but work very, very different compared to their Bestiary cousins who might as well be a totaly different creature)
.) +Level shennanigans (makes way more problems that it solves if it solves any problems at all. video gamey and not what I want to see in TTRPGs at all)
.) Skill system in general (even if +Level is eliminated, the proficiencies and +/-10 make the skill system inferior to the 3.x engine)

HOUSERULE:
.) Exploration mode will be eliminated
.) If you're from a region that might be considered "exotic", wepons from these region do not count as "exotic" weapon to you, but weapons that might be exotic and strange FOR you count instead
.) NPCs are always build with PC creation rules, monsters analogue to the rules of PF1

You asked for only three of each. That's why exploration mode and resonence points didn't get much hate. Ask for 5 or six and it would be different.

Love
Action economy
Spell power scaling with level
Adding damage dice instead of a low, static number

Dislike
Resonence points
Character sheet (it's sideways)
Using an action to use knowledge that you have. You aren't looking it up in a book.

Houserule
Crit on a 20 only/crit fail on a 1 only.
Hero points for heroics, not just for playing.
Make the ranger desirable to play again.

Resonance makes magic items feel limiting, not special.

While I am certainly not excited for this, I do understand that Paizo needs to make money. It's less expensive for them to rewrite the old books and sell them as version 2.0 than it is to pay creators to come up with new material.
My only hope is to have a conversion book, but if it is a big money grab, as I suspect it is, that will not happen. I suppose we will just have to wait and see.


While trying to report a recent Society game(Wadsworthless Pathfinder #9) I keep getting the message that the characters are the wrong type to get credit for the scenario. I reported it using both the rpg and card options and am getting the same message for both.

Hello, I had my bag that I kept all my Pathfinder society stuff in disappear. I'm not sure if it was stolen or not, but that's neither here nor there. I just wanted to know if the reward sheets for the scenarios and modules I have played are available. Any assistance wuld be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Both my characters lost theirs and I can't figure it out.
