For me I do both. I like healers and I'm playing a Kineticist / Bard right now, that will soon also be a Blessed One. Free Archetype game so I'm going nuts with it. We're level 5, so I only have my first Kineticist heal, but I also have a fast healing ability through bard, and battle medicine...

Interesting. In a very different thread on reddit's PF2E forum I gave an answer to my perspective on this. Over there the question was about power gaming, etc... That got me thinking about how in video games and especially MMOs a very frequent theme is to 'build for the meta'. To build for the...

At least it's not as bag as a Klingon weapon. But fantasy and SciFi are full of weapons like that that look cool in art but have obvious flaws with 'lack of force multiplication' or 'bad grip' or things like leverage, holding, stability, weight balance, structural integrity, and so on. It is...

My YouTube subs only just caught up to this thread existing so I'm a little late to the thread on this one. This has probably been noted already but this almost seems inline with the intentions for both WotC and Paizo. WotC seems to want people to move over to digitial purchases. Paizo really...

Anywhere they didn't match their mythology origins (if such existed), which is almost everywhere, essentially can be called setting specific. And anything which didn't have a mythology origin would be setting specific by that very fact alone. I do not know how well the Monster Core creatures do...

I'm not sold on this as an approach to simplifying PF2E. I don't think it's the feats that make PF2E a medium-light complexity game (I've been at this since 1980, so to me PF2E is only medium-light compared to what I recall from the 3.x and earlier days. I consider 5E to be light complexity and...

Very active game and community. If you look on YouTube you will likely run into a video by some guy saying why he's quiting the game and giving a huge list of problems with the system. Just know that the guy's own players debunked his video - he'd heavily changed the rules, complained about the...

Pathbuilder updated with the ability to make a kineticist. https://pathbuilder2e.com/app.html So people can play around with builds for the class now. EDIT: It's fully out now. In Foundry and Archives of Nethys as well.

Yeah it's going to be really awkward. That said, there are people who still play Pf1E. So there will probably also be people who prefer SF1E. But the market for those product probably just shrank by a major amount today.

I wish I could like this because I really want "fantasy Sci Fi" but they did everything wrong in the Starfinder setting from my preference POV. I wanted fantasy in space - they gave us all new sciFi ancestries, not tied to any 'fictional IP' I have an attachment to nor even any 'mythos' to...

I hope they do skip it. The printing costs will not be worth it given it's unlikely to sell well. That money should go to other things.

My initial impression was the new class was horribly unbalanced in a too powerful way. With the right impulses you can make some pretty insane builds. People have talked me down from that somewhat. It's likely you can't get all those "right" impulses and some of them are not as flexible as they...

I believe Paizo misread their community when they 'somewhat' "forced" all their casters to be support / utility. You can build around that to be a DPS, but in so doing you're moving against the grain, as even the upcoming cantrip nerf helps to show. Cantrips were, after all, an easy path to...

I don't know what those are. But what the class more or less gives is an 'MMO Mage'. The closest MMO equivalent is probably midway between the Guild Wars 2 Elementalist and the World of Warcraft Mage. BUT that's a reference many might also not have. So... It is basically a 'near pure DPS'...

This response has an extremely high chance of completely derailing the topic as this issue is one of extreme disagreement in the PF2E community right now. I recommend that if we continue this tangent - it get forked into it's own topic. So PF2E is Vancian Casting. You have x slots per day. If...

The secret to Foundry is that it is EASIER to use the MORE mods you add to it. Assuming you add the right ones. Start with: PF2E workbench anything by the mod maker 'Monk'. <--- This guy/lady/team is basically "Mr Magic Hands" for the PF2E Foundry playerbase. Pathmuncher both 'PDf import mods...

Yep. Paizo themselves nearly floods the market. I have 4 pathfinder subs (you need 4 to get the 15% discount. Rules, Lost Omens, Adventures, Adventure Packs. - Beyond costs, that's a lot of reading to keep up with. There was a 'third party con' early in the year, right in the middle of the OGL...

Well... Over on YouTube 'Rule Lawyer' is always claiming PF2E works great up to and through level 20. He's done at least one combat demo of it that seemed to work. I'll soon be testing this out for myself. The new Stolen Fate adventure path goes from level 11-20 so it's a chance to see PF2E at...

All of the elements we now see as skills were just not part of the game back in the day. One of the things early competitors like Runequest did was say "hey D&D, you're ignoring that more happens than just killing monsters in 10x10 foot rooms, so we added a skill system." When that concept...

This whole making choices and having limits is a key aspect of the design for any game based on classes and levels. It's the difference between playing this and something like GURPS or Champions. The limits work to give everyone in the party a clear idea of their role in the group. I'm the...
