That wall of fire/boat example is so niche it's bizarre.

This is spot on. Id like to add that if you play PF2 the same way you play 5e, odds are you are going to have a very tough time. 5e is basically everyone doing their own thing. Maybe occasionally helping each other by flanking or healing, but mostly it's each character taking their turn to do...

Interesting! Are there any tutorial resources you recommend? Ive considered Foundry but was turned off by talk of "hosting". Seemed too tech for me.

I think the issue here isn't healing. The issue is the encounter - putting a whole lot of creatures that poison against a party without any reliable way of dealing with poison is going to cause problems. Same in 5e as PF2. Sure, long term there may also be issues but again that is the same as...

Same. I consider it a feature, not a bug. It's such an odd issue when you think about it. Your character cannot be threatened by an army of much low level characters like in 5e! Um. So? Has this situation actually ever occurred to you in 5e? Of course not. 5e cannot handle mass combat. Any...

Yeah it is a nice easy mechanic (roll 2 dice, choose the highest). Unfortunately, as it averages out as a +5 bonus, it is way too powerful for PF2, or any system that deals in degrees of success I imagine. The main thing about advantage is that it feels good. You get a second chance to shine...

Hello smart and experienced people! What have been your favourite lvl 1 PF2 adventures? Can be one shots, AP beginnings, or anything in between. I have the beginner box and it looks... fine? Fall of Plaguestone has pretty mixed reviews. Anything stand out as great?

The expression on the face of the guy on the GM cover is EXACTLY how I see my face looking when I GM. I don't particularly want my face to look like this when I GM but hey, you work with what you got. :)

I am seriously considering not allowing archetypes in my game, other than multi-class. There is just too many of them, too much over lap, and the power levels seem to vary wildly. Even just thinking about reading through them all is exhausting.

The Monkey King is a god tho. And before that he was a powerful supernatural creature. And as well as being a great fighter he is a powerful sorcerer. It's kind of his thing is that he is better than everybody at everything. Plus, there is that tricky thing about his fancy golden armor... He's...

Replace savings throws with skills. Don't need a fortitude save when you can make an athletics check. Don't need a reflex save when you can make an acrobatics check etc... They're the same thing

Seriously? Mystical warriors who have a code that they are not allowed to break? That were raised to fight in temples? Who up until recent editions were only allowed to be of the lawful alignment? Screams paladin to me.

Ah that is very much your interpretation, and a very limited one. Sorry buddy, they all mean the same thing; "secret knowledge". This is not true at all. The class originated from kung fu & ninja movies from the 80s and expanded to include manga and anime. Every single monk class ability is...

Meditation and understanding oneself in the universe is pretty big in all magical and religious traditions all over the world. As for the laser blasts and cloud flying all that - these are all different concepts, some from very different places. Some are clearly clerics, or paladins, or...

European esoteric swordsmasters are fighters. Same as esoteric swordsmasters from anywhere. Unless by "esoteric" you mean "having special mystical or scared magic" in which case they're paladins, hexblades or war priests. Or you "magical in an arcane or fey way" where you get your...

I loved the D&D Movie. Super fun. Laughed harder and more than any other film I can think of. But hot damn... can you imagine DMing for players who's only experience of D&D is seeing the movie?

Nope. They are exactly the same thing. Just one is seen from within the culture, and one is seen from the outside.

That would be That would be GREAT. (And a note for everyone else - stop telling people to "just buy the beginner box". I don't want to have to buy a second product to teach me how to use the core rules)

Yeah sounds fair. This is inconvenient for me, but I do think it is a very good idea. The core rule books could be made so much more accessible to new players with very small adjustments which would be a huge "quality of life" upgrade. Also I'm lookign forward to a Witch update as it is my...

You just described the paladin.
