    [PF2] Gnome and Halfling ancestry up on Paizo blog

    I agree with the folks not happy with the small races all getting Cha boosts. Halflings getting a Cha boost is ok by me, but if they got a Wis boost instead, I'd be ok with that too. Gnomes lacking either an Int or Wis boost just seems weird. Having the Con boost seems rather dwarf like to...

    Pathfinder 2E Halflings & Gnomes: More Pathfinder 2nd Edition Races; Plus Ability Boosts & Flaws Explained

    Worlds of Design: Making Fixes For Spelljammer

    Apologies for posting again so soon, but on a point with the adventures that were published for Spelljammer, I always thought the earlier ones were just fine, even if they weren't a linked campaign. Later on, it's as though the writers didn't even bother to read the rules/bible of Spelljammer...

    Worlds of Design: Making Fixes For Spelljammer

    In one version of the Spelljammer game I ran a long time ago, I did make the planets somewhat separate from space. All planets had a natural barrier around them. A huge impact could break through, so meteors happened, and breaking through is why they suddenly got so hot. For ships, the heat...

    Special Magic Item Features: Minor Properties (5E)

    19 Unwavering - So it only adds the bonus when you have disadvantage for the type of roll it helps with. That is a bit different.

    Is Dark Sun Coming To D&D?

    That's jumping at a pretty vague mention that can easily mean something else entirely. It could just have easily been the same as saying, "That's totally backburner stuff until we get around to making something that might need it, and currently nothing like that is even on our schedule". As...

    Worlds of Design: How Would You Design For Spelljammer?

    We had a lot of fun in Spelljammer, but never saw many of those issues you were talking about. As to ship destruction, it did sometimes occur, but was more often a boarding action once somebody realized they weren't going to win by ship abilities alone. Nobody wants to die with their ship...

    Pathfinder 2E Fighter Class Preview

    Dice Chain is really just a different way to do bonuses and penalties, but instead of increasing or decreasing the total by 1 point per, it instead changes the maximum possible value rolled by 1 point per. (Since the DCC dice chain includes the odd numbers as dice as well, such as d5, d7, etc.)...

    From 7 Action Types To Pathfinder 2's New 3 Action Economy

    The article in question didn't even mention a podcast, so no, I probably haven't. On the other hand, I have tried to watch a podcast about pathfinder 2 the paizo people did, but it's too long and boring with non-pathfinder stuff to fill air time or something. Those bore me to tears. No...

    How Pathfinder 2's Resonance Reduces Wand-Spamming; & Comparisons to 5E Discussed

    I have to agree that the old attribute numbers are hardly even used anymore while modifiers are used constantly. For the very few things it's done for, it's easy enough to adapt, but I've seen plenty of new players get confused by the two. "Wait, I thought you said I added my Strength to the...

    How Pathfinder 2's Resonance Reduces Wand-Spamming; & Comparisons to 5E Discussed

    Why carry "fragile bottles" in the first place. There are other substances that bottles can be made out of, and unless the GM rules otherwise, there's no rule that a potion can't be stored in those. In fact, you often find them in other types of containers in many adventures. This includes...

    From 7 Action Types To Pathfinder 2's New 3 Action Economy

    It could be a definite plus, but I'd rather see the real thing than just going off on a one sentence explanation with some vague combination examples. Are they reducing the Ancient Dragon Horde sized load of statuses as well?

    Rogue Traders In The Grim Future

    Is it just me, or does it look like one of the ships of their port side has an outdoor garden or something? Those look like hedge type plants to me. Maybe it's just the distance and light, but I wouldn't put something like that out of real of possibility in the 40k universe. Special space...

    Flash, I love you, but we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!

    I don't know, but with the so called mickey mouse extension, it's now 90 years after the death of the creator, and even if it went into the public domain before the MM extension, if it would be covered by the new date, the supreme court declared that it was no longer public domain in a case...

    Flash, I love you, but we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!

    I wonder how much licensing that cost them. It's probably an entire rocketship of Mingols, but still I'm curious.

    Sean's Picks of the Week (1113-1117) - Get Your GURPS Week!

    If I started this mess, that wasn't intentional. I was just pointing out that PDFs supposedly have a significantly lower cost than a hardcopy book. Well, we know that the cost of digital distribution is much smaller than printing and physical distribution, and in the past publishers have very...

    Sean's Picks of the Week (1113-1117) - Get Your GURPS Week!

    For so long the book publishers would tell us that the writing and editing were cheap, the vast majority of the cost of a book was the printing. Now when they've eliminated the cost of printing, and virtually eliminated all distribution costs by going digital, some of them find other excuses to...
