I think you ran it correctly (or at least RAW) too. Overall, I am finding this module poorly designed (in contrast to the first one which I liked much better). The hexcrawl shouldn’t really have been a hexcrawl, it just feels shoehorned in, and like the hazard you mentioned it seems poorly...

I got curious about the adventure from the other thread and cracked it. Is this the

I am only passingly familiar with book 2, but I believe it involves social encounters with elves and then a hex-crawl? I’m guessing that you’re in the hex-crawl portion of the game since this is one of the top hexcrawl complaints! I don’t know the specific details of the module - but most...

Exploration mode is one of the best features of PF2e for me: a turn based mode for exploring the environment! So I figured I would start a thread about it so people will talk about it (hopefully I get some discussion on this very niche topic :) ). Some starter thoughts: 1. While listening to...

I have run many systems in which theater of the mind is default and I am good at it. And I have run multiple combat encounters in PF2e in theater of the mind with low numbers of monsters and characters (and in fact prefer to do it that way in those instances since it saves a lot of time making...

Some people find it easier to gm in pathfinder 2e because it gives encounter building guidelines that appropriately set the challenge for the party, has monsters with interesting abilities that make it easier to make interesting fights, has a broad set of rules that reduce the need to make...

Odd... That is not the impression I got at all. Since I am missing it, please paraphrase what he saying (in your own opinion of course!). I know that it is awkward to do so, I personally worry that I am misrepresenting someone, but by doing so we can see where miscommunications are...

I stand corrected. Including kingdom building and mass combat? Ouch.

I think that at one point they were considering doing just that, or rather doing both simultaneously: which is why kingmaker is getting a 5e port. Then they probably realized (in addition to the stuff you pointed out later in your comment) that developing for two different game systems...

Note: Still a bit ranty (sorry). I think you missed my point: DND 5e is like a building that has been stripped down to the essential structure. Almost everything is gone: furniture, carpets, interior walls, etc. but the structure is still intact and when a play group moves in they can install...

Beware: long stream of consciousness incoming. I like the complexity of PF2E. I find it less complex, better balanced, and more accessible than PF1E while still maintaining a lot of its predecessor’s depth. DND 5e on the other hand falls into a bad spot for me: not deep enough for its...

I don’t know if this will be helpful, but I primarily GM and so I would like to comment on these: For point 1: I have actually had players like you (except a lot were brand new to TTRPGs in general). I have been running pathfinder 1e for a long time and since you haven’t played it I will state...

Some random advice: Scout ahead only a little bit, secure the area, and let your party move up. Repeat. Never move so far that you can’t get back to them in a round. Invisibility potions/wands are your friends. Spell-like ability’s don’t require components and can be cast without moving or...

It’s not a hassle. Level 2: Level 3: Level 4:

I don’t have a link. I do have Age of Ash’s first book. For level 1: I can also do the same for the level 2 and 3 encounters if anyone finds it useful.

Just for clarity: Neither cover or flat-footed modify attacks, they change the targets AC and are usually calculated by the attacked and not the attacker.

I am very confused by this: the class feats are listed by class and by level in the book. It is as easy as reading up to the level you want then selecting the feat. Likewise the tables list the general/skill feats by level, skill, and proficiency. So if I want a first level arcana feat I turn to...

Okay, you seem to be playing the game very differently than me - things that you list as bugs are features to me. From your posts you/your group seem (correct me if I’m wrong, it is very difficult to get a sense of these things through internet posts ) to want to do the following: 1. Go to a...

I don’t know about the official PF2E adventures: I haven’t read or run them in case I get a chance to play them some day. But the encounter guidelines seem pretty spot on from what I have seen and I like PF2E precisely because it helps me run these scenarios by having a mechanically defined...

I actually find character creation quite easy. It’s more difficult than 5e but much easier than PF1E. The key I think is to start with a strong concept to help you avoid choice paralysis. Here I will make a character to show you: Concept: born to a noble family he was sequestered away when it...
