everyone, I get that old characters are not going to be effected. My problem is this, I have people that will bring new characters built to the 2.0 rules and not the 2.1 or re-master rules. They do NOT look at NETHYS for character build rules. They do not care what NETHYS says. How do I get this understood? PEOPLE DO NOT LOOK AT NETHYS!

I guess I'm not a person, or belonging to the subset people.

Dear Star Trek writers, producers, and showrunners, keep giving us good stories. If that means messing with the timeline, mess away.

That is all.

Or completely explained in scene. Displacer beast no weapons no magic. Undead red wizard weapons and magic readily available.

Or maybe for once it can be a mature thoughtful discussion on the nuances between the editions and not a war. Maybe a new person came here with hope about the brand and wanted quantifiable opinions on the likes of fellow posters.

Maybe...

Wouldn't it be nice?

In Middle School there was AD&D fizzled out but I got the concept. High School there was Teenage Mutant Turtles from Palladium, also fizzled out. College Sophomore year there was the epic AD&D 2nd edition campaign that lasted both semesters that really got me into gaming and made lifelong friends from. I also read a lot of Vampire the Masquerade 2nd edition (this being 1994-1995) while waiting for my turn. And D6 Star Wars, where we accidently killed Luke Leaving the second Death Star. Junior Year there was GURPS used to play an Angels vs Demons because we were excited for In Nomine but just couldn't wait for it. There was more GURPS and a LARP while camping. Then First Senior Year I pulled back on gaming to focus on trying to graduate, notice I said first senior year.

Then 2001 and the invite to Earthdawn where I've had a weekly game pretty much ever since, small gaps weeks nothing more than 2 months I think.
Deadlands. Exalted. Decipher Star Trek. Cinematic Unisystem for a ______ the Vampire Slayer Game (we had our own slayer, not Buffy), Angel type game. a mutant hero school game (similar to but distinctly different from any Marvel X-Men). Back to Exalted after having stepped into the DM, GM, ST, Director role with the mutant game that people believed i belonged in way back in that epic 2nd edition game sophomore year of college. And this was an epic Exalted game. 2 ST's. 2 different timelines. 4+ years to an epic conclusion.

Vampire the Requiem LARP. Vampire the Requiem ttrpg. Hunter the Vigil. Revisting D6 Star Wars ("I Will Blow This Planet Up!!!!!), 4th Edition D&D, Pathfinder, Scion, 2 5th edition games, FFG Star Wars ("I Will Crash This Super Star Destroyer!!!), Kitchen Sink Chronicles of Darkness Round Robin Story Tellers, Vampire the Requiem, PF2, FFG Genesys for a weird west Deadlands game. Hunter the Vigil 2e.

By the way I hear there's a stripped down rules lighter version of 3rd edition Exalted called Exalted Essence. Epicness on the Horizon.

Trinity Adventure! for a Call of Cthulhu game coming sooon

I didn't run all of these, some played.

1988 till now. I know I've left some out.

So we're good here since dwarves and elves aren't human and the first link you have (Wiktionary) tells you that bioessentialism is "The philosophy that biology plays a larger role in determining human psychology or development than social, economic, or environmental factors." ;)

So is it an iPad baby generation or is it a gold mine? Is it doom prognosticating or is it an actual shift in the way media is consumed?

Glad you can define what an actual table top player is. But what happens when they are all dead?
No actual table top players but millions playing the game and spending money. But I guess they'd be the actual table top players then

This is a stupid argument.

Sign of import and decent/non-jerk paladin in the party are two completely separate things. One doesn't necessarily lead to the other.

Also Tristan the guidelines for loot distribution is that you get level appropriate items halfway through the level, not before it. Specially in PFS where they are even more strict about what you can get.
It's pretty easy to afford a weapon potency rune (35gp) at level 2 in PFS, assuming you get all your treasure bundles (which is the case 90% of the time), but it does require the majority of the gold you possess (42, not including 15gp to start).
My point still stands. The guidelines say that you get items halfway through the level not before it. PFS gives the loot at the end of the session, not at the starts.

But you'd have it at the start of the next level 2 scenario because you got it at the end of the previous level 2 scenario. Or does that level 2 item allowable purchase for a level 2 character not count for the legal level 2 character? You use the +1 rune at level 2 if purchased during the 3 scenarios that comprise level 2.

Also from the Organized Play Guide:
You can always purchase the following items so long as you’re in a settlement of at least 5,000 residents (and scenarios might sometimes provide additional allowances or limitations):

Any common equipment in sanctioned Pathfinder content with an item level less than or equal to your character’s level (minimum 2).
Any uncommon equipment in sanctioned Pathfinder content with an item level less than or equal to your character’s level (minimum 2); your character must have access to this uncommon equipment.
Any equipment listed on your character’s Chronicles with an item level less than or equal to your character’s level + 2. Weapons and Armor found on Chronicles can be upgraded following the normal rules for upgrading. You have access to any item listed on a chronicle.
Any item or service purchased with Achievement Points.

Always, not midway through a level. Always. Boom I got enough gold for a +1 rune at the start of level 2. Always.

Let's skip the fighter and the monk with their early expert weapon or unarmed proficiency. A barbarian or ranger does not become expert until 5th level,

Um a Monk becomes expert in unarmed attacks and simple weapons at level 5 same as Barbarian, same as Ranger for becoming Expert. No early expert with a Monk.

A Monk is an expert at Unarmormed Defense but that's another story

This statement is meaningless. You don't name the company you work for. You also haven't proved you are more critical of it than Paizo by any measurable yardstick. So why even?

Despite there being only three people in the 10th-level party (a champion, a wizard, and a fighter, the last of whom was unconscious and on his way to being buried by his friends*), nobody died in the fight against the four 9th-level bandits. So that title would have been a lie.

As opposed to incendiary like the current title.

Gymnast is the trickiest one but also the most team based one as you either help your team out with maneuvers (which are the most potent they can be when you're level 10 and roll twice on every check while you have panache) or you can absolutely destroy anyone who's probed or grabbed, making high teamwork tactics very engaging.

Its rather disingenuous to talk about swashy choices at level 9 and 10 and then tell people not to talk about monk choices at higher levels because you've only seen monks 5 and below.

Teams usually have 2 casters, and at least one of them has a fly spell for just such scenarios.

What percentage of all PF2 teams does that usually imply? How many 4 person teams have two casters? Does it differ greatly from 5 player teams with two? And what happens in PFS when you sit down to a table with no casters?

So what do you mean by usually?

Or is it not useful generalization?
