If so, says a lot about Gary's foresight on the possibility that the group would make the one way trip through the portal. Plus he guessed correctly on the Warden material being available at that game session.

If your only reason to avoid a game is Action Points, they are normally a easy mechanic to leave out. Played lots of games without them and lots with. The most common in groups I play with now is the one per session version. Easy enough to track. I haven't seen anything in PF2 that...

IMO - a stat block should never reference a different stat block. The point of a stat block is to have everything needed for a basic encounter in one place. If I have to go perusing a book for all of the out of block references in a stat block, then it isn't a stat block. I can imagine...

2nd on wondering what P&L refers to here. But hiring is generally better for the game's future support then the frequent Xmas layoffs in years past.

Started playing in college in the 79~83 time frame. Most of the games had one or two women who played. Most were someone's GF but they were in the game with a character sheet and dice so they counted as players. Most of the games were ad-hoc since consistent gaming schedules and college class...

If one of the goals was to clean up the rules language, "Roll with the Ship" might be a step backwards. It mentions rerolling a reflex save "When on your ship." As written, this becomes a very specific feat, only good on the pirate's current ship, either owned or crewed for, not a strange...

Your veterans apparently are far more task oriented then the ones I run with. Most of the ones around here are "Oh, Lassie said Timmy fell down the well? Rescuing the Prince can wait, we must save Timmy! " While attempting to save Timmy, the 'Well' turns out to be an orc/(lvl appropriate...

Another one that thinks char level shouldn't have such a large influence on proficiency rolls. If a 0 lvl character is a Trained Farmer, she has a prof modifier of 0. She decides the heck with farming and takes up adventuring. Five years later, she returns as a 20 lvl character having never...

That halfling drawing looks like Mad Max just wondered out of a wild magic radiation zone. I don't see the need for such body differentiation features unless they plan on doing a 3e in your underwear type lineup for all the iconics. If you can't guess that the short critter in leather is...

The PF1 rogue is either the most deadly thing on the battlefield or one of the most useless, depending on if it gets a flank/sneak attack on a susceptible opponent. Hope PF2 tries to even things out a bit. Odd that the rogue is still the top skill character. Would think the bard, the class...

On the "Size/format of the Book" thing. Really hope PF2 books are released in the Pocket Edition size from day 1. I have found the PF1 pocket editions large enough to be readable at the table and small/light enough to want to carry to games not at my house.

Make sure you obtain all of the errata and updates for whatever books you decide to allow. Some of the broken issues are fixed via errata/corrections. If you are worried about magic tossing classes being over powered, consider implementing a one rest period per 24 hours house rule. Or give...

It could also have to do with long term value. My Reaper Bones minis(Vampire level with several add ons) and SJG Ogre game will be useful, playable and supported long after D&D Next has been relegated to the trash bin. I am increasingly reluctant to support companies that obsolete games on a...
