It's just another modifier to keep track of (and remember) and doesn't seem to swing the result enough to matter. I honestly believe the amount of modifiers needs to be pared down as much as possible in this edition and this a perfect example IMO.

ok back of the book(299):
EXAMPLE:
Could we just have one rounding rule for everything? It is odd to look up rounding in the index and then find a bunch of things that don't follow the explanation. I understand the rounding rule is basically saying "unless otherwise noted round down" but it's much easier to remember "always round down"
I would really like to see the number of different possible modifiers condensed into a basic array like +2/+4/+8 (and-2/-4/-8) and that's it. no +1 here +5 there, +3? why not! As someone who left PF1 because the number of modifiers was bewildering and annoying to keep track of as a GM (and for teaching new players), I'd like to be able just have a baseline idea of where the modifiers could be rather than a seemingly arbitrary number for everything. This helps a lot with GM adjudication situations, I would know -2 is a minor hindrance and -8 is a big problem. I know it sounds like I am clamoring for advantage/disadvantage, but while I do appreciate the simplicity, it is often a cudgel where one isn't needed. Let's be real, the d20 die roll matters more than anything, stop with the +1s!!!! :-)
Any plans for Carrion Crown paper minis?
Below is a FB chatlog after our most recent Friday night game that I GM. I thought it was a nice illustration of PC thinking and thought I would share. I changed the names to the names of the characters, to protect the innocent of course. Not edited so excuse the grammar and typos if necessary.
The session ended with half the PCs on the coconut crab beach waiting for the other half to come by in the rowboat. Just as the rowboat team was approaching shore, they spotted 4 grindylows (I described them as squid goblins, i realize now it should have been octopus goblins) approaching quickly in the water... I made some comments in ITALICS GM
Grenadier says: "As an unusual side effect of their skill at handling bombs and alchemical items with increased speed, grenadiers master the ability to drink potions, elixirs, and mutagens quickly and safely, without exposing themselves to peril while doing so." I'm not seeing anything in the rules for Grenadier that supports this statement. Guessing something got dropped?
The description for shadow barbs states "it's rapidly becoming a favorite spell of magi..." But Magus is not listed as being able to cast this spell. Mistake or just some curiously chosen flavor text?
And I am buying the Reaper mini. /end of story
The errata for Intimidate: Demoralize does not seem to be reflected in the PRD.
say you take ftr 2 and multiclass into something else the rest of the way. do the bravery bonuses continue to increase as you progress? Or is it only ftr levels that count?
Just curious how this is supposed to work If a Half-Giant is wielding a Large Great Sword and then casts Enlarge Person (i think the psionic ver is expansion) on himself, does the sword go up a size cat? Or does it stay the same because the HG is really a med creature so his equipment should go to large, but his sword is already large? And if the sword does go up a size cat, isn't that an insane amount of dmg for a first lvl dude to be throwing out?
Does a cavalier get to handle animal as a free action for their mount as a druid or ranger does? |
