    Pathfinder 2E Low-level Wizards in PF2 - are they still underpowered?

    As for the Wizard's ability at 1st. Have to agree it's not spectacular. I don't think Wizards have ever really been spectacular at 1st, though. I'd argue in most editions they really aren't that interesting before 5th, either. I also think it would be more appropriate to compare wizards to...

    Pathfinder 2E Low-level Wizards in PF2 - are they still underpowered?

    "Choose one cantrip from a magical tradition other than your own." You'll notice that focus spells and composition cantrips do not have traditions listed in their descriptions, nor do composition cantrips appear on the spell lists. I don't believe humans can take Inspire Courage or any of the...

    Focus Pool

    Many of the archetype (multiclassing) feats can give you a second focus power from another class. With the caveat that this may mean taking the "basic such-and-such" feat that gives you a level 1 or level 2 feat from the archetype class, and then picking one that is a focus power. In some cases...

    Focus Pool

    The other classes mention what's to be done while using the refocus activity and they all have something that would take the character's attention. The sorcerer specifically says you don't need to do anything in particular, so should be able to do something useful during that time. The rest...

    Pathfinder 1E What quintessential 4e abilities would you convert to PF1 for this encounter?

    I've got about as much experience with both PF1 as PF2 but I've got more experience with 4E than either, so I'll give it a go. I think you've got to have a Warlord in the party. One of their main functions worked off of action points, which are a little bit like hero points in PF. Main thing is...

    Focus Pool

    There's nothing that automatically regains focus points as far as I can tell. Bards, Champions, Clerics, Druids, Monks, Wizards can take a feat to recover 2 as long as they spent two. Clerics, Druids, Monks, Sorcerers get an upgraded version of it later. Master Familiar's can have an ability...

    Pathfinder 2E Here's The Official Pathfinder 2E Character Sheet

    That's basically correct, they are awarded for "heroic deeds." They were also in PF1E (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/other-rules/hero-points/), in Advanced Player's Guide. From what I've seen about them in PF2E, they've changed them in some ways during playtest, such as wiping them at...

    RPG Attack Site Closes As Author Outs Himself

    I've looked for anything beyond what's already been said and I don't see anything. His Twitter is still private and I'm not a follower so no idea if he's actually been talking about it there. But based on the info out there, it's either him or someone who's close to him (close to the point that...

    Pathfinder 2E Here's The Official Pathfinder 2E Character Sheet

    Function here is fine but aesthetics were thrown out the window here. Seems fan-created sheets will be nice to have. I don't like inventory and feats sharing a page. I'd rather have a third page so that there can be room for some notes with each feat. EDIT: The printer friendly version linked...

    RPG Attack Site Closes As Author Outs Himself

    I find myself in the same boat, except that I had actually picked up some of his stuff for Dungeon World. Which is extra confusing if it really is the same guy as YRPGIS had posts hating on Dungeon World as well.

    Mythological Figures: Sherlock Holmes (5E)

    I honestly would have expected him to fight with something unassuming, such as a cane (quarterstaff or cudgel?). I suppose that would have also required a feature to use Dexterity or perhaps Intelligence for the attack rolls, so finesse and ranged weapons certainly make it easier.

    Tink-Tink-Boom vs. the Death Spiral: The Damage Mechanic in RPGs

    I think TTB is exceptionally a problem in systems where your HP grows as you level, especially if it grows at a significant rate. I was really excited about the idea of "bounded accuracy" in 5th edition (and still am, really) but was hoping a similar system would exist for HP. I'd prefer a...

    D&D 5E (2014) UA: Order Domain Cleric.

    Bless with Voice of Authority is my main thought here. Really good use of an action. Order's Dominion is interesting but I don't think it's busted. You only gain slots when casting an enchantment spell, which might not be the best option in a lot of scenarios. This and Voice of Authority do...

    RPG Evolution: Do We Still Need "Race" in D&D?

    I like the Adventures in Middle Earth tack of separating them as cultures rather than races (I've not played The One Ring, so it may also work this way). While a wood elf and high elf are technically part of the same "race" in the concept of "species," their cultures are ultimately quite...

    Pathfinder 2E Paizo's Stephen Radney-MacFarland Previews The Rogue Class For Pathfinder 2nd Edition!

    It's a bit like Advantage in 5E in that it lets you attack with more precision and that it specifically allows Rogues to apply Sneak Attack damage.

    New Hobby Releases In Stores & PDF Spotlight: 19th March 2018

    +2 wis, +1 to two others. They get most typical elf things plus a few more things: can see invisible creatures, proficiency to corruption, immune to frightened from undead, they always convert a point of temporary shadow to permanent shadow when healing corruption (before the normal stuff)...

    How Pathfinder 2's Resonance Reduces Wand-Spamming; & Comparisons to 5E Discussed

    Thanks for pointing out this aspect of the concept. I did miss that this covered more than things like wand of CLW and potions. So it's got some of the limitations of 5E magic items (where you can only have 3 magic items attuned to you) but allows you to also limit things that should be...
