This is a great. I am totally needing out over this. I bought the core rulebook add-on immediately. I do wish there was a way to play without the timer. I immediately imagine reading these questions/options out to a group of people like a trivia night. The timer would make that a very challenging endeavor. Regardless, I am already enjoying the app. Thanks for this!
I am trying to wrap my head around some rules and I need some help. The weapon Vine of Roses has the good trait but it does not deal Good damage. Would the damage from a regular Strike trigger the Weakness: Good of a creature? Why or why not? CRB. 453 "If you have a weakness to a certain type of damage or damage from a certain source, that type of damage is extra effective against you." Bolded for emphasis. Is Weakness: Good really Weakness: "Good damage" and not Weakness: "Good sources"? Is the latter ever the case and how would I know? Thank you!
In the games I run, I use a variant of ABP where there bonuses you gain are considered Item Bonuses instead of Potency Bonuses, and weapon runes and existing items with Item Bonuses are not removed. This way I can still give out a +2 weapon ahead of the curve as a cool piece of loot that they can just sell later and I don't have to worry about stacking Potency/Item Bonuses. Additionally, I allow my players to redistribute ABP bonuses to skills on level up to account for items they have found or purchased since last level. This makes loot a breeze as a GM. I was a big fan of ABP in 1E and it is a welcome change in 2E, even more so with the changes mentioned above. I highly suggest every group give it a try at some point. Edit: The above change to ABP also means that you don't have to alter existing loot in pre-written adventures which is great for
Some items have a baked-in DC that is either not very good at the level you receive it or becomes useless pretty soon after you out level it, right? A blanket change like, "use your class/ spell DC instead for items" would throw balance out of whack and make some cheap items waaaay better than intended. So here's what I'm thinking... Each day, a number of times equal to your Cha mod, you can use your class/spell DC for an item instead of it's listed DC. For every 4 levels the item is beneath your current character level, reduce this DC by 1.
Thoughts? Any potential issues? Too exploitable? I have several players that are much more clever than I am so I wanted to ask my friends here in the forums before trying to implement it.
I appreciate the support, thank you. I could work in marketing or public relations in a lot of different industries, but I value the opportunity to contribute to this company, these products, and this community. The more I hear from you, the more I like you. Any industry would be lucky to have someone with an attitude like yours on their side. Keep up the good work, friend.
This is listed on the main page as an upcoming release. Is it currently available? Strange, I made this comment on the Secrets of Magic product page. I wonder how I ended up here? Oh well.
I want to echo that I am also looking forward to these cards for the above mentioned reasons.
Weakness to mental 10, and he has an ability to do himself (persistent) mental damage. Mr Zhang won't be with us long! :-) I hadn't noticed that at first! I wonder about the design choice to give a weakness instead of just increasing the damage that he takes from grit teeth? Very neat character regardless!
I would like to start by saying that I would absolutely allow in my games for lower level spells to be cast in higher level slots with no added benefit and I realize that Jason chimed with a "yes" on reddit. That being said, I'm not so sure the language in the CRB supports it. To put a spell in a higher slot without heightening it is impossible because that's exactly what heightening is. "Both prepared and spontaneous spellcasters can cast a spell at a higher spell level than that listed for the spell. This is called heightening the spell." bolded for emphasis. The act of putting a spell in a higher level slot is heightening the spell this just so happens to increase it's DC to counteract and in some cases increase its effectiveness. Like I said, I wouldn't run it that way in my games but that's what the books says.

Everyone has got it wrong. Look at the Blog title!
I'm seeing proficiency with Thrown weapon: Bouquets and an added Blind-Fight effect so you can throw it over your shoulder! Edit: Tactitian/Warlord archetype...The dreaded Wedding Planner
So what we’ve learned here is that we can 100% make an anime campaign Mr. Sayre, how can we convince you to share this glorious folder of yours?!
PF2 CRB p42
Gnomes normally live forever but the Material Plane eventually bores them to death via the bleaching. Would Bleachlings be effectively immortal but have to live a sad life devoid of any actual happiness?
(difficult terrain, which costs double) Just as an FYI, this isn't exactly correct.
(Emphasis mine) While it might seem pedantic, the distinction is important for rough terrain and moving diagnally. If +5 feet...
If double...
(first diagonal>Second Diagonal>Third Diagonal)
This is a level 4 Trailgaunt I needed for my home game. I will try to post any other creatures I make/convert in the future for you lovely folks to use.
Trailgaunt
Trailgaunts are particularly feared in nomadic societies, and stories of how these undead creatures relentlessly stalk those who commit crimes are popular. The most common tales focus on a hunter who abandons a partner in the wild and then prospers on the profits of the hunt for a year before the betrayed partner finally catches up to the traitor and kills him as he sleeps. Many variations on this tale exist, but they inevitably revolve around themes of treachery and relentless pursuit. TRAILGAUNT CREATURE 4
Are there any effects that affect creatures around corners in this edition? is there a difference between an Aura and an Emanation? they seem to be the same. The CRB only describes it as... "aura An aura is an emanation that continually ebbs out from you, affecting creatures within a certain radius. Aura can also refer to the magical signature of an item or a creature with a strong alignment." How about the Xulgath (Troglodyte)stench ability? It is an Aura and thus an Emanation but so long as I put a wall in between us I can't smell it? my braaaaaiiiinnnnn
The new PF2 Demo lists conditions and the entry for wounded may give insight to RAI. "Wounded: You have been badly hurt. Wounded always includes a value. Whenever you fall unconscious, you add your wounded value to your dying value. Whenever you return from unconsciousness, add 1 to your wounded value."
He can completely sheath his sword and then attack another target and perform multiple iaijutsu strikes, at least how you have it written now (and I wouldn't change it, because only getting it once per combat makes it basically worthless and there's no good way to balance it IMO). Actually it's intended to be once per combat and only against a single target. Iaijutsu only against target of Challenge.
so, one target, once per combat. The Sword Saint archetype in 1E was only able to be used against a single creature once a day and then could only Iaujutsu Strike 3 or so times a day total. It wasn't mechanically very good but it was cool. That's really what I'm shooting for.
My reasoning for starting at 2d6 is that Sneak attack starts at 1d6 and scales up the same but can be used many times throughout a combat. Iaijutsu can only be used once per combat so I thought it needed a little more oomph.
I was thinking the reroll was attack because you can only use it once and I wanted to help it avoid those pesky nat 1s. Rerolling damage is a neat concept though. I hadn't thought of that. I went with Paralyze as a "Paralyzed in fear" sort of angle. The status inflicted is the same as the Level 3 Paralyze copied exactly with the exception of adding the [Mental] and [Visual] traits. Having the [incapacitation] trait helps with big baddies ignoring the worst of it. EDIT: I'll lower the roll to x2 instead of x3
Does it deal 1 acid damage to adjacent creatures? ACID SPLASH CANTRIP 1
splash (trait): When you use a thrown weapon with the splash trait, you don’t add your Strength modifier to the damage roll. If an attack with a splash weapon fails, succeeds, or critically succeeds, all creatures within 5 feet of the target (including the target) take the listed splash damage. On a failure (but not a critical failure), the target of the attack still takes the splash damage. Add splash damage together with the initial damage against the target before applying the target’s weaknesses or resistances. You don’t multiply splash damage on a critical hit. Also, does the 1 acid splash damage not double on a critical hit? EDIT and does the target still take the 1 acid damage if you miss? |
