Hey folks, I don't know if the idea has been floated before (I searched and couldn't find it) but is there a way to create Low Resolution versions of PDFs? I'm just thinking file size limitations for downloading/usage on tablets and such. I love the absolutely brilliant high quality art, but I think it would be helpful to several people if there was a lower resolution option so that the file sizes for PDFs wouldn't be so big?

Thank you for reading.

They are basically Isekai protagonists... :P I guess some Jotunborns will be "transported" against their will and will be a little less... motivated than our iconic here, and will want to live an easy-going live with their cheat abi... oh wait. They don't get cheat abilities. Oops. xD

Mythic powers are right there if you want the full Isekai experience. heh.

I think one thing DPR as a focus can generate is a feeling that if you're not at X DPR level then you're messing up/ playing it wrong etc, and I believe that's not the overall experience PF2e is trying to generate for players.

Look, there are games where DPR/DPS/etc matters a *LOT* but I think the damage to the social aspect (especially in places like society play) far outweighs the benefit of a focus on DPR/DPS as a community.

the funny thing is? You *can* do both in this space. Easily. but you have to be aware that folks are going to tell you DPR doesn't matter because if it does? things like "Optimal build paths" begin to matter, and that's not the vibe PF2e is going for.

I can understand the frustration, and the vibe of the community means a lot, and if the vibe is rejecting DPR/DPS as a metric for tracking class balance, etc? There might be a reason for that.

ALL ABOARD. CHOO CHOO.

Let's goooo!

I'm also super hyped for Vault Lord shenanigans. These sound amazing!

Thank you all for sharing your voices.

But building PF2 Mythic as a way to break the power ceiling will help with that. If I am joining a game and the table decides to use Mythic options, then I know what I am getting in to. And I will have the signposted options available in the feats and other options to know how to do it properly. Or I could decide that I don't want to play in a Mythic game because I prefer non-Mythic games. People will know that mixing Mythic and non-Mythic characters in the same game is going to go badly.

I have to say that I agree with this take. I don't see a way to balance Mythic VS Non-Mythic characters currently, so I largely Don't care that it's balanced, at least in the specific context of mythic play. It's sign posted, if I say "This game is going to be Mythic" then everyone should know to not expect everything to be balanced perfectly. It's the nature of mythic play.

As someone who hand converted most of Wrath of the Righteous to 2e (We changed the ending for our table)? I'm very excited to see what they do. Even if they use the more video game based paths rather than the more generic path names (I liked that better, personally)

That is *peak* sad-boy poem. Absolutely awesome story, and I love Chk Chk!

LET'S GOOOO!!!

Some thoughts that may not be popular:

I am thinking through a lot of things, and I am troubled by the concept of calling other forumites bigots. I can see calling out their actions or posts as bigoted, but... There has to be a better way. I can understand your stance of not wanting to let a bigoted post go unchallenged, though my personal mode is to flag and move on. I realize though that others feel differently, especially with so much hatred being posted. And hey, you're correct that I may be coming from a privileged enough background where I can see something nasty and just flag it and move on. I'll try to be better about being the advocate I want to be.

But in my mind, shouting back at someone and telling them they are a bigot just makes them shout back and then it's another flame war that makes everyone feel crappy and makes a lot of work for the mods.

So here is what I would suggest, and will try to get better at implementing. "Hey, I'm flagging this post. Paizo forums are for everyone, and this one makes some of our community feel unsafe." And then I would link to Heather's post, and stop.

Once this is posted, the conversation moves on and the troll is deprived of your outrage and passion. Nothing's feeding it, so less work for the mods.

I'm gonna say this and I hope people understand my words:

Not calling a thing what it is? that is allowing room for bigotry and fascism to grow. simple as that.

so any advocation, at all, of not calling bigots, bigots, is at best, being a racist collaborator. at worst, you're actively fueling the bigotry by allowing it to pass without harsh scrutiny.

So when I see this post, fellow freelancer or not? I see someone advocating for "softened language" and "No flame wars" or whatever? because said people aren't being banned immediately for their bigotted horse crap? I see someone capitulating to fascism and bigotry. that's it that's all.

this quote CONTINUES to be true.

"....I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great
stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate
who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace
which is the presence of justice; who constantly says, "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods
of direct action'..."

I support UPW.

can't *bleep*in' wait for Werewolf..my favorite game, except for Mage. Can't wait can't wait can't wait.
