I don't think anyone thinks it's as much a "noble whistleblower" as much as they see value in putting this in the public, rather than trying to hide it or calling it "unprofessional". Just find it very weird to frame it as such when one has no stake in the organization or its reputation, because...

Yeah, but that means they can privately respond, too. There's significantly less pressure, especially from the outside. Putting out a public statement feels like it not only indicates the severity of problems (because such a response is very unusual and has the potential for blowback, thus...

You make a public post like this because other avenues have failed and this puts the organization on the spot rather than letting them smooth things over in private (which is way easier than in public). It also signals to people who might want to report on it to start looking in. Don't...

Real Vic Mignogna/Rekieta Law vibes.

The easy way to fix that would be to allow it to scale with the player (with a bonus to the magical action) or maybe (since it's a spell effect) not let its special attack increase MAP. Edit: Alternatively, your magical attack allows you to move through the opponent while doing the trip/push...

Yeah, I've been told that before (possibly by you, in fact), which is always weird to me but I suppose there are people (even in this thread) who enjoy it. As it stands, I'm just glad that they gave us a solid, easily-integrated variant that moves away from it.

In PF2 I play Automatic Bonus Progression to avoid that sort of thing, too. Removes the magical treadmill, which they should have done as the base state of the game, tbh.

Yeah, you have to be more specific as to what you get out of other games that you aren't here. Not that I'm saying you're wrong, but it's hard to figure out the shape of the problem here with the vagueness. Like, do you want something that might have cool uses but is largely non-combat? Things...

I will also say that the system itself lends itself to really good automation, which allows it to really sing in Foundry. For example, the PF2E HUD by Idle is an absolutely bonkers module which basically puts all your character stuff into a bar like it's an MMO. When my players were learning the...

That would be it! Incredibly useful to the point that my players started noticing "Oh, it's marking me when I'm next in initiative!" Also yeah, the dead body piles are great. Both Rules Lawyer and Lunatic Dice are really good follows for them, and I think Lunatic Dice's guide helped me update my...

Foundry is really fun, but if there is a lesson you need to learn it's that you need to be methodical in how you move every turn. Not like, tactically, but actually in the turn sequence: if you want to get the most out of the system, you have to use things like the Encounter Tracker, which is...

Tell me how it goes! I feel like my groups have finally started to get it together when it comes to when we can game, so I might be doing stuff more regularly. Would be interested in seeing how it goes.

It's got a lot of cool stuff in there, but I go through down-periods of not playing, so I haven't been able to justify it, tbh. But I've been using naughty word like Levels for almost half a decade now. The free stuff is so damn good. But I've recently been getting deep into several games recently, so I...

Yeah, but I think it's also on the rulemakers to not make rules that must be disregarded for the game to be fun. I mean...
