Hey all! I’m loving PF2 but can’t find any players in my area. Anyone know of a game over zoom/discord or etc that needs another player?

So I made an alchemist and leveled him to level 3. At that level, the class gains the "Empowered Bombs" ability which means you can double the damage of a bomb. But I had a question about the damage. My character also has the Burn It! goblin feat which does +1 damage and +1 persistent fire damage. This brought up a question of when to double stuff. So combining these two, would the Alchemist Fire do 2d8+1 or 2d8+2 and would the persistent damage be +3 or +4?
This is not intended to be a flamewar in any way, but it seems nearly every group I play PF with seems more interested in carefully adjusting their character to "min-max" and get the highest bonuses possible than why their character is in that locale at all, or where they came from. I routinely get told things such as "Hey if you drop your INT by 2 you can increase your HP with CON" or "This feat combination gives you the best attack bonus". I'm aware of all that, but I chose these attributes, skills, and feats because it fits my character. Not to get an additional +1 to my attack roll. Secondly, the campaigns I'm in are mostly concerned with killing monsters repeatly for gold. I honestly don't know why we're in town or what the town even looks like because the GM didn't bother to describe it. Or the enemies we're fighting. The thing is, none of that appears to be a rarity. Quite the contrary, it's very common from what I've experienced. Is anyone else having the same trouble of finding a group that matches their playstyle? What suggestions do you have to combat this? Unless I always run, which is tiring at times, this is what I encounter. |
