    Critical Role Legend of Vox Machina

    It's definitely an entertaining first two episodes. Though definitely not safe for work, content warnings abound. It was smart of them to start off with some pre-stream build up to the team so when we do get to the bigger arcs, we've already got a feel for the team and the setting. It helps...

    Critical Role Critical Role show kickstarter update: Backers have to get Amazon prime to get the show

    Watched those first two episodes and I had fun, though I already know what I'm really going to enjoy is episodes 3 and on, because it's where we start adapting the show proper. At least episode 3 drops on Friday.

    I was partial to this one for some character dynamics:

    Well, Percy is a Fighter with a custom Gunslinger subclass (since he was a Gunslinger when their home game was using Pathfinder).

    Critical Role Critical Role show kickstarter update: Backers have to get Amazon prime to get the show

    The Legend of Vox Machina Kickstarter is in an odd place where none of the tiers to back got you the show. It mostly got you merch, or the show script, or such. The most actual show guaranteed was some high tier pledges ($1000+) could get you to specific premieres, but that was just for the show...

    Critical Role Critical Role show kickstarter update: Backers have to get Amazon prime to get the show

    I'm a backer, not at a particularly high tier, only $20. I'm already a Prime member, so I'm not losing out on anything. Kinda sad I don't own the season, but that was never stated as an option. I'm not particularly upset, though I do wish it would have worked out better for more fans. The fact...

    Is killing a Goblin who begs for mercy evil?

    You're right and I even knew that. I don't know why I typed Chaotic Good. I'll be sure to fix that. And yeah, if changing who the question is about turns it into something horrifying, it was already probably pretty bad. It really SHOULDN'T hit different though. Whether it's Goblin, Human...

    Is killing a Goblin who begs for mercy evil?

    It's probably worth noting at this point that in Pathfinder now, Goblins are a core ancestry and are more and more starting to turn away from old Goblin stereotypes (though not entirely). Hell, you want to talk about the absolute of Alignment, look at Nocticula. She was formerly the Demon Lord...

    Pathfinder 2E You Can Now Playtest Pathfinder's New Gunslinger & Inventor

    People have been looking forward to Gunslinger options for a while, and I'm quite fond of how it's handled here. Quite a few interesting feats and I'm glad it's super accurate thanks to the Firearm/Crossbow proficiency scaling. Inventor meanwhile...is super exciting. Don't get me wrong, I'm...

    As it turns out, hiding requires cover.

    Don't forget if your campaign is able to hit the higher levels to invest in this Legendary stealth skill (assuming Pathfinder 2): "Legendary Sneak Feat 15 General Skill Source Core Rulebook pg. 263 Prerequisites legendary in Stealth, Swift Sneak You’re always sneaking unless you choose to be...

    Pathfinder 2E Paizo Previews Hobgoblin Ancestry

    It's also worth noting that thanks to the extra +2 for two flaws option that you could drop an Ancestry's +2 stat to a -2 and bring up a -2 to the +2. Ancestries have a lot more flexibility for classes than were the case in the past. But yeah, I do like the choice to make sure every Ancestry is...

    What are the most compelling reasons to switch from PF 1 to PF 2?

    Aside from some of the obvious stuff like the action economy, I'm really partial to how skills work and the feat system in general. No more deciding if I want to dedicate feats to make myself a better skill character or if my build requires these specific combat feats to work so I get no skill...

    Nat 20 rule. Is it immersion breaking?

    True, a Fighter's weak save is Will, so if he rolls a natural 1, it counts as a regular success if he still beats the DC by 10 for a partial effect. Or, I suppose, splash damage from 10,000 bomb-tossing foes would overwhelm the character (unless they resist the element in question).

    Nat 20 rule. Is it immersion breaking?

    Well, in an actual game, you could not only have a thousand fodder incapable of hurting you, but a few more level appropriate elites that could still cause you some harm, leading to the boss monster and their personal guard that's a major threat to you. The fodder can show how much you've...

    Nat 20 rule. Is it immersion breaking?

    Well, like anything else, your individual game can have different standards to what's acceptable and the DM can note if any particular feat is forbidden...but in my case, I want my martials to be able to be badass Heroes. Like Greek Heroes, Hercules and the like, or like Beowulf. I do appreciate...

    Nat 20 rule. Is it immersion breaking?

    Agreed. At some point when you're leaping 120 feet into the air (Quick Jump/Cloud Jump with Monk speed), grabbing onto the Ancient Red Dragon (Titan Wrestler), putting it into a sleeper hold (Monk feat), and riding its unconscious body into the ground, where you don't even take a single point of...

    Is Pathfinder meant to be "boutique D&D?"

    I mean, it's a matter of perspective, and I suppose I could have ducked out early enough to miss some big changes...but I found most of my attempts at making characters all felt same-y, even with different classes. It was a lot of 1W at wills, 2W encounters, it all blended together. I never...

    Is Pathfinder meant to be "boutique D&D?"

    I mean, being a different game from what D&D actively puts out is a part of said identity, though you're not wrong about its campaign setting and fantastic Adventure Paths. But given I'm not really into 5e all that much, I probably wouldn't follow them to 5e, I'd just sigh and stick with...
