I'm out I think. I'm just going to keep my players on the books we have. Half of my table's classes won't be "updated" until Player Core 2 or whatever comes out. We're good with (all) of the books we've already bought. Plus I doubt all of the Roll20 content (I know, I know. I have a Foundry license too. I just jumped on Roll20 when covid hit to swtich my table online; in for a pennny, in for a pound) I've bought for PF2e will magically update free of charge. I was excited about the remaster when it was announced, but all of the discourse is nauseating to be honest.
My players didn't take the news too well haha! After begging my group to switch to PF2e for years, they finally did when the OGL debacle hit and now they feel like they've been bait and switched after buying a book that is being phased out and pdfs that won't be updated after already purchasing them. Welp, time to do a full court press on switching them to Savage Worlds.
I ran a 5e home game from 2016 to 2021. I enjoyed providing the game to the players who were new to TTRPGs because they watched Critical Role, and made lifelong friends. I've been a Pathfinder player since 2011, and really enjoy 2e a lot, but my 5e friends AND my Pathfinder 1e friends refuse to give it a real try, so it's mostly PFS games for me. I'm still chasing the dragon of trying to find a Pathfinder Savage Worlds game, which is an AWESOME system.
I think your GM is citing the rule stated within the "FLY" action, specifically the last two sentences which state: "You can use an action to Fly 0 feet to hover in place. If you’re airborne at the end of your turn and didn’t use a Fly action this round, you fall." (CRB p. 472) In my experience (I play a druid with a bird animal companion) this rule is largely ignored at tables because either its so little known or seen as punitive to any PC with a minion with a flying speed. If I had to guess, this aspect of the FLY action serves to replace the monster feat of "Hover" from Pathfinder First Edition.

"Fear" is a strong word. I just hope to see the original authors' design and vision are represented with the reboot is all.
Include Carnival of Tears as well you cowards. Seriously though, happy to see this as these adventures are great and the setting of Darkmoon Vale/Falcon's Hollow have remained one of my favorite places in all of Golarion. I hope these are not edited too much, and are as close as to the originals as possible.

Haha! Bluff or Diplomacy....this will be good. My die rolls and 2 skills in which I have a -1...hmmmmmm Bluff: 'Allo gentlemen. It's good to see your rotund

This being my first PbP campaign, I'm still getting adjusted to the style. I like it greatly so far. Narrative is a good thing. The whole playing evil aspect is quite interesting as well; we are all bold characters but in a pretty tight spot. Not gonna lie, I was sweating that stealth roll. Also, everybody's characters are quite original, which is super dope. You know that episode of the Simpsons when the Asian mob has a huge fight in their front yard? And Marge drags Homer inside and he says "ahhhh, but that guy in the white suit was just standing there! He was about to do something really cool!"...that's EXACTLY how I see Rene's character, haha

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 For my one last action after the scene plays out, I'd like to try and a strength check (most likely in vain) to break the bonds at my wrist Strength Check/Break DC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Greyfield takes one small nibble from his ration, and upon hearing Ana's jape at the undisciplined and portly turnkey starts giggly in a small wave which builds to a great crescendo. heh..heHeHeHEheHAhAHAHAHAHA!! Dinner and a show. Simply marvelous.

In response to Khara's questions about what Greyfield does: Me? My profession is... Should I tell the truth, hmmmm?? That I live a simple life of stealing children away from the busy streets and secure them in my research quarters to watch them blissfully ebb away into nothing as they choke on their dry screams and moan to death while they starve. No. Leave some room for future conversations heHEheHE.. I'm a nutritionist. Old School DM: Do any of the guards ever get close enough to me for a possible unamred strike (with head, elbow, knee, anyhting)?

This. Absolutely this. All of my characters have them just because the sight of somebody intentionally leaping to their "death" and only taking 20 damage in all while staying on their feet is timeless. I often try to line up enemies walking around below for "Mario" moments.
Mudfoot wrote: I'd swap out Scribe Scroll for Combat Casting. Like a sorcerer or bard, a skald will almost never want to scribe scrolls because he can do it only for spells he knows, and he can cast them anyway. Conversely, much of the concept behind it is someone who's utterly unfazed by battle so won't have any problem casting while an orc waves axes in his face. If not Combat Casting, then maybe Arcane Strike.
I was running "Shadow's Last Stand, Part 2" at a gaming store event. Spoiler:
The PCs had followed all of their leads, but one. This certain lead is regarded as a cowardly shop-keeper toting a cart, and the heroes had been through a lot to this point.
All of the PCs had passed skill checks to hide in a dark alley well after midnight, in order to surprise the person moving down the alley. The PC playing a dwarf inquisitor of Torag, in one of the best role-playing experiences for me personally, literally jumps out of his chair and SCREAMS the phrase "show us your CAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRT!" After 5 minutes of laughter across the store, I didn't even look for stats concerning intimidate checks...... I conceded. Added spoiler tags. --Jessica |
