Also did you guys purposefully make it so you can't use the "sustain" action or other basic actions like leaping and escaping during the possession? As a side note thanks for all the hard work you guys do! This has me excited
"Some skill actions have the attack trait, specifically Athletics actions such as Grapple and Trip. You still make a skill check with these skills, not an attack roll. The multiple attack penalty applies on those skill actions as well." -FAQ
So yes anything with the attack trait adds to MAP and is affected by MAP, unless otherwise stated in that action.
With a welcome change coming in the form of Alchemist getting medium armor proficiency in the last FAQ and playtest gunslinger having legendary proficiency in firearms. My friends and I are wondering if other classes might receive similar treatment. The martial classes could all get legendary proficiency, without upsetting the system. Even if they have to wait until level 17 or something- it seems like a good deal to me. If not that, maybe a feat to give players the option for legendary proficiency with one weapon group or something. For the spellcaster classes, as many have mentioned, the next round of FAQs would be the perfect time to have them upgrade their spellcasting proficiency at the same level as martial characters get their weapon proficiency upgrades. Its kinda weird how they just lag behind. Like I said these proposed updates definitely won't upset the system, they'd just iron out some of the oddities of the system.
There's no way magus is actually this bad, they must've released like some pre-edit draft on accident. I mean who would willing not put a way to avoid Aoos on a melee caster? Who would willing make spell combat, a magus' main feature, do virtually nothing? Who would willing make a spell caster get master spellcasting after someone who multiclassed into a spellcaster? Don't worry guys they'll upload the real magus soon, its April 1st somewhere in the world! :')

I mostly built it like so because it's just so cool and flavorful, but it actually seems like it can hold its own. The plan is to use an Elven Curve Blade from level 2 on and eventually mostly rely on One-inch Punch, which should land if flanking. Zhang Yun

Does either Age of Ashes or Plaguestone give exact ways to adjust for extra players? Like more than what the bestairy says? Understood, thanks!
Whole lot of words to basically say nothing...anyone interested in PF2 knows what an RPG is...and this blog basically describes what an RPG is if you were describing it to someone who just landed on Earth and had never heard of RPGs before. I thought I was the only one who was thinking this lol.
One question I had for him was if a small character takes giant instinct can they start with a large weapon or a weapon of 1 size larger (which would be medium). I understand that even small characters can use large weapons just like medium characters, but do they both start out with a large weapon? On another note I'm glad to see barbar get some much needed improvements!
I'm looking forward to a system that most people will have an adequate understanding of. A system that doesn't have a million hand-waves and incorrect understandings of the rules at every table. Additionally, I can't wait for a system that I can actually teach to people who have never played ttrpgs before and play with them irl. Finally, I like how they are more for trying new things, which can be seen in the stat blocks of monsters and class feats. August can't get here soon enough!
What exactly are you expecting? I feel like we have a pretty good idea of the game, especially with the playtest to use as a baseline. Like, what are you hoping to know about the game that we don't already know?
I'd like to get centralized and official stuff that is literally copied and pasted from the book like they do with literally every other product. I understand some things haven't changed from the playtest, but "a lot" has and it is very strange to not see any of it on paizo's own website. I'm not looking for the "whole book" to clarify. And I'm definitely not trying to give advice. Clearly, I am just showing my unease with the current situation. :)
Honestly not seeing many previews of the new CRB at this point is making me nervous. I thought we'd already have a good idea of everything by now to quell the gripes with the playtest. The lack of much info makes it seem like its not worth showing. Please paizo just show us stuff! (Also rest in peace #85. I hope you come to the light in time.)
Brother, I cannot agree enough. You don't have to call it dragoon and you can base it on something that is known for jumping/falling in pathfinder lore. I want this so much. A cool jumping martial dude in heavy armor that probably ignores ACP to acrobatics. Please paizo! I'll even take an archetype of this if I have to.
There is no mention in the playtest of creatures made of fire, like fire elementals, shedding any light. There is also no mention of light being shed from creatures on fire or some fire spells that have a duration, like Fiery Body and Flaming Sphere.
So much this.
I mean cantrips are actually usable in here when they previously weren't. But are casters supposed to not use their slots? Because looking at most of these spells I'm wondering why the caster wouldn't just use the ever-scaling cantrip. In regards to the four degrees, I'm taking into account crit fails. Even then these spells are still so questionable. Especially the ones that don't have degrees. And I haven't even mentioned how easy it is to get interrupted when concentrating, and how most spells have such a short range. I'm not sure if they expected every spellcaster to pick up armor proficiency but its very strange to see them nerfed to the ground.
Have you guys seen the new Barkskin? Level two spell, two actions to cast, 1 minute duration for a touch spell that gives the target
My eyes!!! Why did they do this to spellcasters? I'm so disappointed
First of all, 2e seems alright. There's problems but somethings are really cool and are a much needed update from 1e. Honestly I feel as if the playtest is, overall, a step in the right direction. That being said one thing I'm praying to Nethys to change is the nerfing of spells and spellcasters. I've been following the playtest ever since it was announced and have read the rulebook. At first I was pretty apprehensive because I saw that every spellcaster was being limited to 3-4 spells per day. I then looked through the spells and noticed that they are so weak compared to a basic sword swing(an unlimited resource that only costs one action) and this was the case throughout the first few levels of spells. A perfect example of this is Barkskin, a really good spell in 1e that is unusable in 2e. Why does it have a downside when it basically doesn't do anything? Why does the downside then increase when you heighten it? Why does it only last for 1 minute? I'm genuinely confused by its existence. Another thing is why not give wizard something to make up for the fact its not even trained in simple weapons, not trained in any armor and is the only prepared caster that can't heal others?
