It depends I guess. You have to put a number of skill feats that way: Assurance Continual Ward. - some people have builds that don’t need their skill feats so can do this, other people need all their skill feats and so end up making choices… It can be good to have at least 2 people have...

If you use foundry, the tool inside of that for checking encounters is the mod "Monk's Little Details". This puts a little colored title on the GM's view of the encounter tracker BEFORE you start the encounter for what it's CR actually is compared to your actual group as opposed to the 'ideal...

PF2E Severe should be read as "this should kill 1-2 PCs" PF2E Extreme should be read as "cloudy with a chance of TPK"

So first thing is to remember PF2E is not D&D, and the way you run it and play it is very different. Just keep that in mind as a general notion going forward. Start with these two resources: Home - Archives of Nethys: Pathfinder 2nd Edition Database - all the rules Pathbuilder 2e - the go to...

Both really. It didn't occur to me but the new D&D stuff is a good reason for the delay. They've got their own plate full with remaster, D&D is changing, the OGL issue makes the project one they probably no longer have much heart to do, but since they committed they're not going to just cancel...

Thankfully being deleted. Or at least no future reference to them. Too many fans to just say the word 'delete' even though the effect will be the same. While it is OGL, there is other stuff staying that arguably needs just as much tweaking to be free of OGL. Like Orcs. Both have little to do...

It's probably only still in development due to pre-orders. I suspect once it's out the door it'll be moved to the 'unavailable' list and never reprinted unless D&D changes ownership or some similar radical change fixes things.

Perhaps. But of all the casters out there, the Druid suffers the most for it. You have to give up all of your max level spell slots to Heal. Maybe also several lower level slots as well. And your Goodberry order spell is subject to GM whim unless you GM allows you to pick berries off of your...

I'm really baffled at the people that do not like this point. tRPGs have always been a team effort. When you have two PCs in conflict it's long been accepted advice that this is an extremely bad idea unless the players worked it out ahead of time OUTSIDE of the game to make sure the plot was...

That's called playing Fantasy Hero, Big Eyes Small Mouth, or Theatrix. Maybe not even Fantasy Hero... The idea that a PC can only die for story reasons is just NOT something that has ever been a part of D&D or any tRPG that descends out of it except "maybe" Mutants and Masterminds. But even...

It probably would have been better the other way around - having the rogue stay with Gunslinger and then vetoing the Inventor. Gunslinger and Inventor are 'uncommon' so if your campaign takes place outside of major trade routes you can easily justify not allowing them. Technically you can...

There are variables of what each side can stack beyond the base numbers. But my match wasn't for a 20 needed to hit. But a 20 needed to "only" miss. Because one thing a 20 does is always make the result one step better. So if you need to roll a 29 to hit something - then you actually have a 5%...

Yes I do want that. Why? Because people are attacking PF2E's math by criticizing these extremes of wide level or wide group size encounters. They're doing that because we all know that outside of the extremes PF2E's math holds up extremely well for highly tactical balanced play. So they went...

For the odds in PF2E to be impossible level of hopeless you need about an 18 to 20 level difference. A fighter at level 1 with base 10 stats has a +5 chance to hit. A fighter at level 20 with no armor has a base 37 AC. All you need is a +2 circumstance bonus to turn your best result into a...

I'm currently playing in a PF2E game where I'm "maybe" the only player that did NOT come from 5E. Which includes the GM. For them it was a system switch. I say maybe because me and one other player joined when 2 of their 5 refused to even try PF2E. I think the other person also came from 5E -...

I see. There were posts only a few days back. Didn't see that the thread itself started years back.

This is basically asking about blood quantum's. While in the real world that is an extremely toxic subject... in a tRPG... I'd still avoid it. Just keep the 'half-X' as the individual is a person of mixed heritage. In PF2E at least this is ultra simple: It just means you can pick ancestry...

Just did a bunch of reading on Bounded Accuracy and then on the Pathfinder 2E math. A 5E player's perspective on what they like about Bounded Accuracy: https://blackcitadelrpg.com/bounded-accuracy-5e/ TL: DR: "Bounded accuracy lets monsters be different in terms of hit points, damage, and...

Troubles in Otari is a 68 page PDF module. Pages 55+ deal with how to move from the beginner box into wider content. The module proper has 3 chapters. My guess is you would get 3 game sessions out of it, if the beginner box took you one to 2 sessions. It was sold for full module price, though...

This reminds me of a constant debate in MMOs. Level scaling or not. You have MMOs like Elder Scrolls Online where the entire open world and all 'normal' instanced content (dungeons, etc) is scaled up to the power level of a 'new max level character', including PCs. Or MMOs like Guild Wars 2...
