Got it. Thanks all, much appreciated!

Ok, got it now. There are Untrained and Trained criteria. Thanks all.

Looking at the Trained actions, they do seem to be the kinds of skilled actions you could not attempt without some formal training. Mostly. There are grey areas, like, Survival (Cover Tracks). But all in all, it's logical.

Sorry, I'm confused. I have Untrained +0 in Acrobatics, can I attempt to walk across a narrow beam?

Page 240: Skill Attempts
"A brief description of the skill is followed by a list of actions you can use if you’re untrained in that skill, and then the ***actions you can perform if you are trained*** in that skill"

So, if, for example, I was Untrained in Acrobatics, I simply cannot even attempt to walk across a narrow beam?

That doesn't seem right; I think I should have an outside chance of succeeding, however remote.

Thanks all for the replies, I appreciate it!

I used the wizard because they are so diametrically contrasting compared to fighters when it comes to melee combat.

As far as weapon/armour proficiencies, initially, I couldn't understand why the wizard was any worse off than the fighter if both classes (and all other classes for that matter) gained skill increases at the same rate.

Upon cross-referencing the two classes, initial skill proficiencies dictate that wizards are playing catchup right from level 1, and that's what constitutes the biggest impact on the respective classes' martial aptitude?

Weapon/Armour Proficiencies

How do they work, exactly?

I was creating a wizard character and was told I'm Trained in simple weapons, but, is there anything stopping a wizard from taking and using a battle axe?

Similarly, it says wizards are Trained in Unamoured, but could they take/use heavy armour?

I did look for the information but couldn't find it.

That's great, thank you very much

Ok, thank you.

I'm still not sure of what to do. Say a fighter (or any class) wants to try and open the stuck door (the wood's gotten damp and expanded a little into its frame). For argument's sake, the DC is 20.

What would I roll?

How would you go about performing feats of strength? Rolling Athletics?

Page 275: Flexible
The armor is flexible enough that it doesn’t hinder most actions. You don’t apply its check penalty to Acrobatics or Athletics checks.

But it still applies to Str and Dex checks?

Thanks Gisher

Thanks both for the replies.

Ok thanks for the info.

Do we know when it's going to be released?

Ok thanks Razcar

I think I'd like to have a go at Foundry, but one of our players uses a Chromebook.

Will a Chromebook be able to cope with Foundry's resource requirements?

Hey all

New to P2, and only played some PF1 (never GM'd either edition), so I'll probably have questions to ask about the system that I'd like to ask about here.

Page 250: Society
So, unless you have Stealth 'Trained +2', you can't even attempt to mimic someone else's handwriting [Create Forgery]?

Likewise with Acrobatics and [Manoeuvre in Flight], or Athletics and [Disarm].

All are Trained skills, so if I'm not trained, I can't even attempt those [] actions? That seems a bit harsh. Surely I can attempt to (for e.g.) copy someone else's handwriting [Create Forgery], and in PF1 everyone could at least attempt a [Disarm] action (albeit you needed a Feat to be any good at it).

I was considering a house rule wherein if you were Untrained you could still attempt the above action but you roll two d20 having to choose the lowest d20 result.

Caveat: there are definitely some Trained actions you simply have to be trained at (e.g. Borrow an Arcane spell)

However, I was told this wouldn't work because that means everyone could try those actions, thus watering down the requirement to actually be Trained in the required skill.

Thanks all.

Thank you

Thanks all for the advice.

We've had a little talk about playing 2ed (I definitely want to have a go at GMing it) but right now we're playing 1st edition. To that end, I'd like to purchase a hard copy of 1st edition. Does anyone know what the latest print run of the 1st edition hard copy, is?

Thanks all.

Been all over my account settings and I can't find how to enable notifications.

I can't seem to find the subscribe button for email notifications. Is there one?

Thanks all for the advice.

Ideally, I'd like to buy the hard copy with the least amount of errata. I'll keep an eye out to see how it goes.

Hey all

I didn't really get into PF 1st ed, but I've heard good things about 2ed to the point I'm seriously considering buying it. One thing that puts me off is the amount of errata that's out for the core rulebook.

Is there a specific site on Paizo that I can go to be updated on how the errata is being handled? I have the site for errata listings, but I was more after the "when" it's being incorporated into the core rulebook hard copy.

Thank you.
