Gencon 2024 Paizo Keynote Live Writeup!

On the subject of Howl of the Wild, I think its a really good grab because the Monsters feel very splashable, just to begin with, and the archetypes are cool for players that would use them. Like, if you can think of a use for a new high level Griffon, a handful of different Hydras with unique...

But more directly: Yes, positive became vitality in the remaster, as you can see from the linked remaster version at the top and heal was originally a necromancy school spell.

Not much of one, I feel like necromancy as a non-game term is fairly intuitive.

Since Necromancy would no longer be a game term, I guess it would really just be spells that fit the necromancy flavor instead-- the table could spot rule them.

To be clear, the feat is only relevant to your adjudication if a player uses it-- it does not contain general rules for coercing multiple people, only rules that pertain to someone taking that feat. It is not located in any section that contains general rules. Coercing multiple people via a...

The base action is Coerce. It has clear rules, it targets 1 creature and does what it says it does. If someone tries to get it to do more, like apply to multiple people, you apply an adjustment using the general rules for applying an adjustment because they're trying to do something harder than...

It kinda makes sense though, by definition trying to intimidate a group of people at once is harder than intimidating one person, if you do it the way you're describing someone would become better at intimidating groups than they are at individuals because the feat doesn't pertain to...

I think I did suggest that I could run it for enworlders somewhat casually at some points, or otherwise suggested my west marches might be a fit, but I don't think anyone expressed much interest. I'd still be willing to try and pull together something a few sessions long over FoundryVTT if...

It's actually kind of interesting in that most Swashbucklers I've seen played or discussed only hold off on popping their finisher until the next time they get the chance to do so without MAP, so for them that failure state is functionally identical, I'm not sure how the numbers actually work...

At what point does the need for something like this to be a "+ thread" veer into acknowledgement of a bog standard edition war, do you think?

I pretty much agree, it's probably the best game on the market right now, in terms of DND-likes (humorously, including DND) though I do find it funny how the Pathfinder forum on enworld is mainly made up of people who don't seem to like Pathfinder but are constantly flirting with running it and...

Catching up a little on the conversation, if for the sake of Starfinder you did happen to keep going with the game, and reviewing your other comments in the thread, my main advice-- only if you're sticking with the game, if you've got your heart set on switching systems go for it; would actually...

Yeah its kind of interesting-- there's a lot of games that are much 'simpler' to run face to face, particularly with that emerging as such a huge value in the indie scene over the last 10-20 years or so, and the OSR, but PF2e is easier to run f2f than 3.5/4e/pf1e were, and I have first hand...

Its ok analog, I run it at the library as our second table, but I do miss my VTT automation.

It does sound like you prefer much lighter weight games, I've heard good things about Fabula Ultima if you don't necessarily want old school flavor to go with lighter rules.

I usually play spellsword tanks in video games-- I think its because I ended up falling in love with the tank role, but was very much obsessed with wizards as a kid so spellswords present a happy medium. Magic has undergone something of a populist revolution over the years-- the means of...
