Also, I found out what Reposition is: It's a new action which basically allows you to grab and shift an opponent adjacent to you around you. It basically codifies what Dragging Strike (now Sleek Reposition) did to allow others to do it. Not really seen in a lot of spells (outside of the...

From what I've seen it feels better. There are small layout changes in different sections that were clearly driven by readability stuff. For example, I couldn't figure out why until I realized they took away the big red text at the top and integrated it into the starting paragraph. It made for...

Hey, PDFs have been sent out to preorders and subscribers who have their physical books on the way. Currently going through the book with the original CRB and APG open to check different changes. It's slow, but it's interesting to see. From my (very initial; I'm only still in the Dwarven...

Paranoid, snare-making Ranger could also work.

True, but there aren't really feat trees in PF2. There are generally not feats that require other ones very often. Maybe there are certain paths based on hitting on what you want to hit, but that's a bit different than a feat tree.

Well, it's the gulf between "I use this in combat" versus "I use this out of combat." If you want to grapple, you want Titan Grappler. If you want to do medicine, you need those feats. Other ones... less so.

Sorry if I came off a bit brusque, just that specific case irritates me. And when it comes down to it, I think most of the class feats are actually pretty dope, though there are some that are meant to be more ribbon-ish or character-specific: you may not need it most of the time, but some...

Oh God, I hate the argument of "Isn't it intimidating by default" for two reasons: 1) You're not describing intimidation as much as a morale failure. Barbarians are supposed to be scary because of the damage they can cause... but then again, plenty of different kinds of adventurers cause tons...

I find there are few things that couldn't benefit with some level of guidelines at minimum and many that would benefit from something more systematized, both for the GM and the player. Generally speaking if your class is specifically meant to be good at it, there probably should be rules for it...

I really enjoy it as a very tightly-built system with a lot of options. I can't speak to the experiences of others here, but I find that the options are actually pretty good at making characters distinct, especially within individual classes. This is particularly true for the martials, but every...

Yeah, and the Remaster should do a good job of lessening the books you need, since they'll be combining where most of the alternative feats are (APG) into the two new Cores with their classes.

It was not used to generate a reference image. The reference image was generated by a real artist who was hired to do concept art. They created the sketch of an image based on the concept art, then used AI enhancement to do the fine linework. Then it was put into the book as the final product...

The best description I've heard is that it's everyone's second-favorite edition, thus the easiest one to get everyone playing.

Probably the latter more than the former, especially with systems that like to "simulate reality" like 3.X did. I mean, I've seen my players struggle with rules and then go to system with more narrative mechanics and be completely comfortable making stuff up.

You're missing the point and making up random examples. Not sure I can make the point any simpler or clearer that it already has been made by myself and many others.

What I'm saying is that it doesn't need to be in the text every time because it's implicit: there is no rule dictating you can't, which you'd think it would tell you given how many rules the system already has. Also you can say that it's a Reputation thing, but there's no reputation system...

I mean, the implicit thing there is that if you have that Feat, it allows you to use the skill in that way. There is nothing that says that you can only use that feat to do that thing. Given that there are so many rules, that you could only do something by having the right thing would have to be...

No, you're not listening. The only thing the Feat does is allow you to have a set way of doing it. It does not mean that no one else can do it, just perhaps not in that way. That is not breaking the game, that is just something implicit in the system rather than explicit. You don't ignore any...

Yes, but there's nothing in the text that prevents you from using what those do. It doesn't say that's the only way to make a rumor or such, that's just a specific option that you have via the skill, which is exactly what you are saying: it's a new way to use a skill or make you better at a skill.

Like @Vaalingrade says, humans can make things inaccurate out of intention or style or simply not knowing. This isn't meant to be evocative, this is just a program putting pieces together and making artifacts because it doesn't realize that car spokes have to be straight or railings don't look...
