Hah! Reminds me when we were making the German equivalent of something like a "High School News Paper" (Abizeitung) and we had a poem called "In the Looking Glass" and intentionally mirrored it (crazy what was possible with the Mac publishing software we ha in the 90s already). But when we got...

I seem to remember 4E also used a lot of pre-existing gods, didn't it? If it works, it works. I don't agree with the appraoch to making the gods linked to classes, though. Doesn't inspire me, not how I would do it. I might use it as inspiration to have each class list 3 deities its members...

I think that might be one of the reasons PF2E, despite some comparisions to 4E, feels very different. It's not that 4E doesn't also have lots of conditions and situational modifiers, but Pathfinder seems to be much more focused on that and a lot less on maneuvering and forced movement. Arguably...

I am not sure what your point here is in regards to the original reason we talked about this. What you write doesn't change anything about the issue: When your choice of Patron is only finalized at Level 3 of the Warlock class, the first 2 Warlock levels, the GM can't integrate it as easily into...

Oh man, i am getting nostalgic for 4E. Epic Destinies were surprisingly simple constructs and yet really worked well to sell their narrative and make you feel Epic.

You can choose to say: "I will become a Fiendish Warlock at Level 3" as a player even before you created your character, way before you become a Level 3 Warlock. However, only at Level 3 do you actually finalize the decision. What if you don't decide at character creation, at Level 1, at Level...

I think the formatting broke in some manner. The spoiler tags seem not to be correctly nested or something? Thanks for the work of the handbook, though!

The problem is that at 1st level, the patron is not defined. It could be celstial, fiendish or fey, and that put constraints on how you roleplay such an interaction and and/or the personality to leave the final choice undefined. You either need to be stay extremely vague, or allow for the patron...

I wonder if the misunderstanding about the Warlock invocation boost being limited to Eldrtich Blast is because the Beyond character generator is mentioning the power its name, and I haven't figured out yet how to change it to a different one.

I ... I had a friend I've heard of someone in school that broke his arm tying his shoe laces...

I don't know I'd agree that Dracula is a continent-style threat. Even if you account for him controlling a country... I guess in Hellsing it might be true?

It can depend on the group and be very situational, I think - even on a VTT the DM might allow you to position first .But sometimes there might be logical limits where you'd be - like you oppened the door and the cultists behind it start screaming "Roll Initiative", you might be far away from...

I think he wants the abilty to choose both I am a Dragonborn from a far-away location that no onehere is likely to know about anyway and I and the DM can (and have to) make up stuff. I am a Dragonborn from a community in a location perhaps only a few days or weeks away that people here might...

If it helps, Akashic is a Diamond Throne / Arcana Unearthed/Evolved class.

Sorry, this is only a tangent to the discussion - Diamond Throne is now owned by someone else? Anyone working with it and releasing new stuff? I liked that setting and its class concepts.
