They're spontaneous casters. You can tell because they have signature spells and their spellcasting text doesn't refer to preparing from their list. While Paizo uses the term spontaneous casters in the general rules, I don't think I've ever actually seen a class in PF2 or SF2 actually say it is one in their class description.
That's been my experience. The discount will show up when you have the item in your cart but not on the store.
I believe all the art in the AP assumes Abomination Vaults is the 1-10 AP. I don't recall the AP giving any AP specific advice beyond the advice for the nemesis in book 1, which for Gatewalkers assumes the nemesis is a shadow of Osoyo.
Rattlesnakes of the Runelords sounds like a board game to me.
Dark Archive and Season of Ghosts are rereleasing early next year, so I'm pretty sure those are the "two remastered products" in question, not something new.
How does tracking work in the new store? I have two orders that shipped, but I'm unsure where to go to find tracking info. I don't see it in the orders page and I'm not sure where else it would be.
I have also been running into this issue. It also means search is non-functional for new forum threads.
I don't see a section for reviews on subscription pages either. I do see them on other product pages. There have been other users who have reported that adblock causes them to be unable to see customer reviews, so if you can't see reviews for all product pages than its probably your adblock.
Battlecry Playtest was April to June 2024
PDFs are not included unless you subscribe. Is Paizo not offering to have your December sub items ship with next month?
The $5 price for Great Toy Heist is for the print version of the adventure. Paizo's new webstore doesn't support having store pages for free stuff so now the Free RPG Day adventure PDFs are just hosted online. Some appear to be linked on the store page for the print edition (like Great Toy Heist), but that seems to be inconsistent currently. I do think the Free RPG Day adventures are pretty great. Personally I really enjoyed Little Trouble in Big Absalom and Threshold of Knowledge.
If you want to go more in depth, this is a spreadsheet someone made comparing creatures between Monster Core 1 and Bestiary 1. As you can see, Monster Core is largely reprints with tweaks of Bestiary 1 and 2, with some reprints from other sources and some new creatures. I believe Monster Core 2 is the same but with Bestiary 2 and 3 creatures. At this point the main value in the old bestiaries is OGL staples like owlbears and mimics, but those you can also just use Nethys for.
Normally my experience is that they respond within one business day, but given the new store transition creating a lot of work for CS I've heard its been taking longer for some folks.
Rotfell's advice is pretty great. The one thing I'll add is don't forget you can steal stuff from PF2 when needed! I'm trying to convert Dawn of Flame to 2e and there's a lot of elementals there and only a handful of elementals in Starfinder 2e at present. But there's a whole bunch of fire elementals in PF2 that I can draw on.
If I recall correctly their new subscription system doesn't work well with digital only subscriptions, so they had to drop the Society subscriptions.
That's likely because its not out yet. As I recall, they're holding off on releasing the Foundry module until the standalone SF2 module releases.
I'm wondering if there was a typo and they meant 1 PM Pacific.
Your reward tier for Paizo Plus, which gives the 15% discount, was supposed to count previous store purchases but I haven't heard from a single person where that actually worked. I contacted Paizo customer service about it for my account and was told it was a known issue they were working on fixing. (As a reminder, this forum thread is tracking Known Issues) The 15% off sitewide sale going on right now is also meant to be a stopgap while they fix the issue.
Currently the items under My Subsciptions are not hyperlinked. It would be great if the books and subs on that page linked to the store page. For instance so I could see what the next item of my Starfinder Adventure Sub was, or see the description of a book that I'm getting.
According to this post you'll be notified tomorrow and charged next Monday.
The discount should automatically apply when you add the item to your cart.
If a player took this in my game, I'd probably house rule that they could wear a flight suit over it the way it works for plated vesk.
but all you've done is add a weapon to the game that 99% of characters wont use.Ah, yes, the thing that already happens every time a new book comes out with 10 more weapon options ;) Most new weapons that come out these days seem to exist to give some sort of mechanical flair to a culture, ancestry, or organization. Your boarding pike example is from the PFS Guide, and is a way for someone to say "I'm from the Arcadia Mariner's Lodge." Those that aren't that seem to be ideas to give people character ideas, like the battlelute. While most folks don't look at the weapons list before making a character, I know I wouldn't have thought to play a halfling chef/assassin if Paizo hadn't released the frying pan as a weapon. That said, the weapon system is definitely a sacred cow that exists because its the way Paizo's always done it and to keep continuity with PF1/3.5. I've recently played and enjoyed Draw Steel's system which boils weapons down to categories like Light, Medium, Heavy, Bow, Polearm and lets you flavor how you like.
From what Paizo has said, the book won't have any new ancestries, feats, or items, its an adventure with pregens.
You're missing Firelion's suggestion to house rule the action tax of picking up weapons away. Our group has a similar house rule we refer to as "sticky weapons". Being knocked prone and having the wounded condition is something our group finds punishing enough without the extra action tax to retrieve dropped weapons.
I'll be honest I clicked on this thread title thinking it was another spam bot peddling their wares. Nice to see its not.
Sounds like its the level substitute for the OGL ice devil then.
I get really confused how folks necro 6 year old forums and try to continue a conversation that ended years ago as if no time has passed. Do they stumble across the thread in a google search? Look for the closest thread to the topic they want to vent about? Is checking the time on a post not what everybody does when they read a thread?
Given that its a 4th level feat, my guess is that the reference to increasing the amount you transfer increasing at 5th level is a typo of some kind. Perhaps an artifact from the feat being level 2 initially or some other design change.
The link to the GM Core pocket edition on this page is broken. It looks like there's some stray quotation marks messing things up.
They held an AMA stream about the collab back in July that stated it was digital only. (Source) Paizo usually does pocket editions of a book 3 months after the full size release, so the Player Core Pocket edition only just came out this week and the GM Core pocket will be out next month.
The recent Gatewalkers compilation was also in the Adventure sub and not an AP sub so I wouldn't read too much into it.
Just have it affect everyone in the party. 95% of PCs pre-remaster weren't Chaotic Evil, so it'll have the same result. Unless someone in your party is playing a character that is sanctified unholy or did something particularly vile recently, then have it not affect them.
You might have more success starting your own thread instead of hijacking a 5 year old one on a different topic.
The wiki article on Khari does mention it was regained by Rahadoum during the Glorious Reclamation and cites Scourge of the Godclaw p. 65 as the source. While the infobox and lead say it is part of Cheliax, those parts of the article were written before Scourge of the Godclaw came out and have had very little updates since.
I believe the C1 reference is a typo and it should say B1, according to this conversation in the Thirst for Blood GM Reference thread.
Yep, the description on page 24 should read B1.
Thanks for reminding me about my idea of a PF2/SF2 XCOM campaign.
Or maybe the misunderstanding is the people reading the text out of context of the books they are written. For example, if you look at Derica Foss's entry in the Absalom book, you'll discover she is a 17-year-old who is an apprentice to a level 18 wizard. Level 8 seems like a reasonable number for someone who is apprenticed to a powerful wizard in fantasy New York. So a lot more than a child. Similarly, Emir Thalzar the Kite Enthusiast is a level 13 fighter, Qadiran diplomat, and former director of army intelligence for Kelesh. Hardly just a Kite Enthusiast. Curse you Norr for being faster than me.
I've never seen a formal rule in 2e explaining what Paizo means when they put a level in their short descriptions for NPCs without stat blocks. Folks talking about different level challenges in and out of combat are overcomplicating things by applying a rule specifically for stat blocks like this one from GMG/NPC Core. This has only ever been stated to apply to stat blocks and not one line NPC descriptions. The level listed on an NPC’s stat block is their level assuming they’re used in combat; they should be able to hold their own as well as any other creature of that level. But many of these NPCs are primarily noncombatants who are much more skilled in their occupation than they ever would be in combat. To that end, those specialist NPCs’ entries also mention a higher level that you would use when the PCs have to compete against them in their area of expertise. On the few occasions where I've seen them give a stat block for an NPC that previously had a one line description, the stat block was at the level previously described. Mathmuse's post is excellent and I intend to save it for anytime I see someone else confused by Paizo's NPC descriptions.
Fwiw, the rank 3 version of Protection is pretty clearly the Remastered equivalent of Circle of Protection, which also didn't have the aura trait.
They have not. Personally I'm a fan of Hilary Moon Murphy's alternative proposal.
What is the limitation (if any) on replaying? This product page says it has the Repeatable tag, but the scenario's table of contents page says "Repeatable (Limited)." Limited how? The Lorespire site that the scenario lists as a reference does list various scenario tags including Repeatable, but does not define a "Limited" tag. As I recall, that means you can play the special multiple times for credit as long as you play at a different level range.
Given previous Hardcover AP compilation PDFs are priced either at $20 (Gatewalkers), $39 (AV, Ruby Phoenix), or $50 (Kingmaker), somewhere between 20 and 50 would be my expectation.
For those who have this adventure, anything interesting you've read in it so far? Any interesting creatures or player options in the adventure backmatter? There's no backmatter to the adventure. All the stat blocks are in the adventure text itself and I don't believe any of the creatures are new. This is very much an adventure targeted at first time PF2 players. That said, I think it very much succeeds at this and I'll probably pull this out next time I want to introduce some friends to PF2. The only thing I'd describe as new are the quick rules reference handouts. They seem helpful and they haven't streamlined the rules as far as I can tell (aside from only including conditions that might come up in the adventure itself).
The wiki has a few developer quotes about it here.
Considering the many issues folks have found with the Undead PC rules in Book of the Dead over the years, this one seems incredibly minor by comparison.
When I've seen this in play, both by the party and against the party, our table went with the ruling that the fascinated condition could end normally. Since the other effects of the spell (the tribute and no hostile actions) weren't a consequence of the fascinated condition, the spell was still very useful for our ally who cast it, and really annoying when some sort of Darklands ooze god cast it on us.
Paizo's sourcebooks have a PDF file by chapter option for download. Hopefully that will be an option for the new AP hardcovers as well. |
