Things you loved, wanted, hated and will miss.Robert Jordanhttps://paizo.com/threads/rzs42lvd?Farewell-First-Edition-Things-you-loved#12019-06-24T19:32:02Z2019-06-24T19:26:47Z<p>The First Edition era is coming to a close, at least from a 1st party standpoint, and over the past years there's been a lot of good and bad that's happened with this game. For me it's been mostly good and I love PF1e, I will not be joining folks on the mechanical side of things for 2e, but I look forward to the continue fluff and setting information as it comes out.</p>
<p>Despite collecting all of PF 1e there's a few things that I wish we'd gotten that had me really hyped and then never came to fruition.</p>
<p>1) The Medium. I really really really loved the Playtest for the Medium using the entire Harrow collection as spirits was not only an impressive undertaking but a massively deep and complex idea. According to multiple posts the class was complete and designed that way, but they reworked it a bit before release as it would take too much space in the final product. Over the years there have been calls and requests to have the original vision of the Medium come out, but the answer has been no. I hope one day we get to see this beautiful monster, PAIZO TAKE MY MONEY PLEASE.</p>
<p>2) Bastardhall Mega Dungeon written by F. Wesley Schneider. Ustalav is his pet area of Golarion and Bastardhall is his baby. I was lucky enough one Paizocon to sit in on him running part of Bastardhall, I believe it was the gate and gardens area. I want more! I was really hoping that it'd be somewhere in the production line, but then a parting of ways seemed to doom that dream. I still hold out that a Bastardhall megadungeon or AP comes out to showcase this cursed keep.</p>
<p>There's been a lot to love though! All the variety in available races, feats, spells, and magic items. The Adventure Paths, even the ones I have no intention of running gave me good fodder for encounters and pre generated NPCs for almost any situation. I've especially loved the variety in the APS all the different styles of adventure have been amazing to read through and even run some of. I'll never forget cracking open AP 1 for the first time and reading through and the feelings and inspiration I got from it.</p>
<p>I know I'll miss the support for 1E from Paizo, I do hope that backwards compatability/converting isn't too difficult, and if that's the case I may start picking up the occasional rulebook for 2E to pillage. I'll miss the massive amounts of 3rd party support. While it will still exist the offerings will dwindle as time goes by, even now some things I've seen that intrigue me are 5E oriented as they wait to see PF2 and design for that over PF1.</p>
<p>Of the things I've hated I'll openly admit it's mostly been errata decisions that I can ignore at my own table. Which is incredibly minor in my reckoning.</p>
<p>I'm curious to see what others in the community feel were highlights or missed opportunities! Let's put on our rose colored classes and let the nostalgia whisk us away.</p>The First Edition era is coming to a close, at least from a 1st party standpoint, and over the past years there's been a lot of good and bad that's happened with this game.

If multiple things affect the Attack Action they stack, except when they don't. Is that the gist of it?
<br />
For instance I can combine Blooded Strike and Fatal Thrust. If I were to Full Attack I wouldn't get the benefit of either am I correct in that?
<br />
Following from combining Attack Action things could I combine Dual Attack with Advancing Carnage and get 2 attacks on every target I "cleave" to? What about Mobile Striker and Dual Attack? I guess I'm confused about how many things you can stack onto an Attack Action if they don't specifically contradict each other.</p>So now that I'm about to be on the player side of the screen again for the first time in forever I've begun looking at options and things again and I've got a couple questions about the Attack Action.

Not sure I like that change makes things more complex for some of my less skilled players. I also noted in the update Rapid Shot is still an associated feat with Barrage. I am super sad by the Sphere Specific Drawbacks that didn't lock in your choice of extra talent now lock in that choice. I liked the flexibility that Spheres of Power had on some of it's specific drawbacks where you got to pick instead of being locked in. Is there any chance we might see that for this system?</p>
<p>I finally had time to check out archetypes and at first I was super stoked for the Magus archetype, then I got sad. Delaying Spell Combat to level 8 is rough as it's the core functionality of the Magus class. I like most of the Magus archetype, but I was kinda sad that it doesn't play nice with most other Magus archetypes that already exist. Is there any chance of light archetypes, that take away a few things but just add a Combat talent progression?</p>Yeah I noticed most of the spheres that grant skill ranks were changed to 5 from base sphere then +5 per talent.

I enjoyed seeing how this project evolved over time and I am really excited to see it when it finally comes out! I've made no effort to hide that the Sniping sphere is the one I am most excited about and I liked a lot of what's come of it, but I am slightly confused about Deadly Shot now. Why is there a damage die difference between normal AC and Touch AC? Wouldn't an attack that hits Touch AC bypassing armor be more devastating than one that has to impact armor first? If it is like Deadly Aim in that the damage adjustment only applies to touch spells and not firearm attacks that makes more sense, but to punish firearm characters seems odd.</p>So it'd been a while since I last checked the playtest.

I remember getting to meet Wes when he let me sit in on his Bastardhall game a couple years back. I didn't win a slot at the table but he let me sit and observe anyways. My wife and I were then lucky enough to join his table at the Paizocon banquet that year. Thank you for everything you've done for the setting, and for tolerating my questions at the banquet table.

Blood of the Night focused pretty heavily on Vampires as a PC. I expected the same from Blood of the Moon and got something completely different.

<p>Alignment, how do? For instance the Paladin becomes infected because it's a curse and therefor he's not immune, he shifts on the night of the full moon and goes on a murder spree, he awakens sans powers right? He did go all murder crazy, or does it count as "not him" and he's good. I'm of the opinion that it's still you and therefor powers go bye bye. Does your alignment permanently change to the alignment of your WereX side if you willingly shift to it instead of resisting it like in 3.5? Or can you shift in and out of it and maintain the separate alignments?</p>
<p>Controlling the shift. I don't mind the ability check over 3.5's skill check in regards to shape shifting. But can you ever get better at controlling it without just being gifted with a high Constitution or the right phase of the Moon? Is there anyway when you involuntarily shift to maintain control and not lose your personality?</p>
<p>Infection. Will taking a hit of wolfs bane always cure it no matter how long after you were infected, even after the first change? I always assumed it followed the same rules as a Heal or Remove Disease spell within 3 days at CL 12+. Is there any nonmagical way to tell you're infected or is it always a "Welp I got bit time to munch some poison." Personally I've always run it as PCs just don't know till the first shift, as a DM it's one of the few Saving throws I took away from my players. It takes a bit of the fear away if your PC rolls a 20 and goes "Yup I'm good!" or rolls above a 10 with a +5 or higher Fort bonus, those tend to succeed at a lot of the flat DC challenges.</p>
<p>These are just a few of the things I'd love to see covered in this book, which will be amazing to have as my group is at the end of Broken Moon in Carrion Crown.</p>I really hope this gives me what I hoped for in Blood of the Moon.
