There are feats, such as 'Untrained Improvisation' that let you boost untrained rank. - That can be used to construct a 'general do it all' that can at least do any task not requiring training. Couple it with something like the loremaster dedication and you also have a 'know-it-all'.

Agreeing with Thomas here. You don't need min/max. It's actually hard to min/max PF2E. The balance protects against "most" bad decisions. There are a few catches to that, but they're not pitfalls people fall into all that often. Making your characters as a team is NOT min/maxing. It's just...

Yeah but... the GM's expectation in that encounter wasn't too far off for the PF2E mindset. I'm not sure on the players - it was one of our first sessions together. The 'problem' was only that people misread the clues. I was thinking we were headed into the thick of it, but was then trying to...

PS: In my first campaign my group got put up against this same creature when we were just dinging level 2. SO we'd hit level 2 but had yet to take a rest to get daily spell prep and thus new spells. 3 of 5 PCs died. For us... it was going down a tunnel after the 'module' we were in was over...

This is PF2E, so no SRD. This is the critter the OPs group faced: https://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=227 Here's the confusion ability in PF2E terms: A level 3 champion, ranger, and rogue with a +0 Wisdom has a +7 roll on that save as they are Expert in Will saves. So these classes...

Single boss fights in PF2E actually feel like boss fights. A moderate encounter for a group of 4 PCs has an XP budget of 80. This means a single enemy will be PC level +2. If you were fighting a pack of creatures you might be looking at 2 NPCs of your level, or 4 level 1 NPCs, or 2 level 2 NPCs...

I grabbed Starfinder during the recent Humble Bundle and... it just didn't hit with me. I love the Golarian setting, but couldn't find anything in the Starfinder setting that caught my interest. That's fine for this question - I should be answering yes. But the game engine also failed to catch...

Yeah. I like having my games off platform and on my own install, where I can play them without being spammed for badges I've won, or having people I know comment on how much time I do or don't spend on this or that game. Is that what Good Old Games would offer? That said, for me most of the...

I tell people to get them all, then remove any that aren't doing good things for you. They have the kind of stuff that I feel should have been baseline to Foundry or Pathfinder Foundry. At least as options that could be turned on/off as not everyone wants all of their stuff. I keep finding...

I did find that I misspoke earlier somewhere in the thread. The module that shows encounter CR is not 'Monk's Little Details' but 'Monk's Combat Details' :

So I wanted to make sure I was speaking correctly. Here we can see it automatically applied flat footed when the wizard and cleric attacked. But not for the fighter's attack. You can see I've not applied any status effects to any of them. Shockingly I managed to roll misses on all of these...

Yeah. We don't do that. If we have: X--Y--Z - Foundry automatically gives X and Z flanking bonuses against Y. No right clicks needed. We see it in the dice roll log that it was applied. More complex flat footed moves, like a Pistolero getting it for themselves vs a target after doing...

That sounds like a mods problem but I'm going to have to load up my copy and test it. I've seen it automatically apply flanking flat-footed for the people who have it, no need for us to add flat-footed onto the target.

It's very easy to run Foundry on your own local machine. But one big selling point of having it on Forge is you can leave the game server up 24/7 which, as a player, is something I really appreciate. I like to look over my PC from time to time outside of the game. And if there are edits or...

I actually find this very useful. You can load up mods in Foundry to do all that heavy lifting or you can run it with almost no mods and do all that math on your own. What I love about Foundry is that once I got all the mods I wanted in place, I barely have to think of the numbers in PF2E at...

A healer or other support character would normally be my recommend for a new player except I hate pointing to the support for a female player as that's what happens to women gamers in MMOs... all... the... [censored]... time... A ranged caster with a basic spell list can be easy - sorcerer is...

Tactics. I've been repeatedly stuck on a caster in close quarters combats with GMs that would use organized tactics while our martials would split apart or full stride away from the group. Sometimes they'd do it on entering a room and the encounter would happen after they ran a full 2 strides...

Ward and Continual let you heal a lot of people quickly, while assurance prevents being locked out for long stretches of time from a bad roll. My game's medic took risky and none of the others. He misses a roll, and he can't try again for another hour while sitting there at 1 hit point because...
