    Nat 20 rule. Is it immersion breaking?

    This does make me hesitant about the game. The sword can swing both ways with that rule. You could find yourself in a position of no hope where even a nat 20 couldn’t help or save you. I imagine a PFS game where no one at the table is sufficiently skilled at something crucial and the game...

    Pathfinder 2E Are you moving from 5E to PF2?

    Well the game stores I have checked and the b&n store near me aren’t carrying it yet. One game store is hesitant to carry it because they sold none of the play test books so said they would wait and see if any interest came up. They currently have no plans to run PFS either. I guess it’s either...

    Nat 20 rule. Is it immersion breaking?

    From the Pathfinder 2 SRD: If you rolled a 20 on the die (a “natural 20”), your result is one degree of success better than it would be by numbers alone. If you roll a 1 on the d20 (a “natural 1”), your result is one degree worse. This means that a natural 20 usually results in a critical...

    Is Pathfinder meant to be "boutique D&D?"

    I'm just concerned that Paizo will start cranking out the supplements so quickly that before you know it the game is back to being bloated and not easy for new players to jump in. Sort of a flash in the pan instead of going for the long term.

    Pathfinder 2E Are you moving from 5E to PF2?

    Heck no! I'll probably play both. More 5E locally (the game store prefers d&d 5e) and will play pf2 where I can. Probably conventions like PAX or Megacon. I'm still on the fence about running a game of pf2. I have players that much preferred 5e over PF1 so not sure if they will be willing to try...

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder Second Edition: I hear it's bad - Why Bad, How Bad?

    There are many people in my gaming circles, including people I've talked with in gaming conventions that are taking a wait and see approach instead of just diving in with abandon. Most either cited wanting to stay with PF1 or they cited initial interest in PF2 until the playtest gave them...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Final Announcement from The Descent Live Stream: Eberron Hardcover

    I'm excited to see more Eberron material. Our store will love playing new adventures in it as well as Saltmarsh and Descent. I'm sure planescape is already in the works as well. Things seem to be going that way. I wasn't a fan of Ravnica but I still am enjoying the game and new adventures. Too...

    Ghosts of Saltmarsh: First Impressions

    I'm hoping my nature cleric will get some good use in this adventure. I thought there would be more underwater adventuring but it sounds like that is limited and the majority of the adventure is above water. Hopefully there will still be opportunities to use his animal abilities.

    Scenario with a Dragon's Lair?

    There is an AL scenario where you can face a young black dragon in it. CCC-SRCC01-02 Down the River of Snakes. It would be perfect for you. It's part 2, so you could run part 1 if you want the whole story. It was a fun adventure. Levels 1_4 but I highly recommend 3-4 and not 1-2 player levels if...

    Season 9 Adventure changes

    Anyone from any season can play and get rewards in the saltmarsh adventure. It's the Descent adventure that will be season 9 character reward specific. I just hope saltmarsh will have plenty of adventures to level up a character. I also wonder if Eberron will return next season. If so, that's...

    Season 9 Adventure changes

    So does this mean most stores won't run older season content anymore and will only run current season or CCC adventures?

    Beastmaster, a net, and crossbow expert action economy

    I'm specifically looking at the wording "you can use your action" since it's not worded as an attack action. Therefore if you command the beast to attack as an action, are you not taking the attack action on your turn, which then means you can't get the bonus actions for taking the attack action...

    Beastmaster, a net, and crossbow expert action economy

    I have a question concerning a BM using a net, having his pet attack, and then using the bonus action to fire a hand crossbow. I will quote the PHB so you don't have to look up each rule. PHB Beast Companion rules-On your turn, you can verbally command the beast where to move (no action...

    D&D 5E (2014) The New Tiers Ranked

    I'm curious to see your take on Purple Dragon Knight. Looking forward to the final tier also. Thanks for the article.

    Dragon Talk Interview with Kate Welch re Ghosts of Saltmarsh

    Everything you said is true. It's just that the local stores play what is currently out. It's easier to get a game that way. But when the current thing is a remake of an older thing, the opportunity to play it skyrockets.

    Dragon Talk Interview with Kate Welch re Ghosts of Saltmarsh

    Honestly I'm just excited to be playing the stories I didn't get to play. Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Eberron, or Modern Earth. I'm easy.

    Protection fighting style after tier 1

    I have a fighter in tier 2 that uses it and although it's not stopping multiple attacks, even stopping one big attack like from an assassin is huge. I try to use it on squishy allies or if they are not in danger then I use it to help my melee buddy. I also use Shield Master to help him get...

    A nature cleric vs a Sahuagin and his shark

    Also this would imply that even the nature clerics capstone ability would cease to work as soon as the creature took damage, so what good is this ability at all?

    A nature cleric vs a Sahuagin and his shark

    You are correct! I wonder why any other charm type spell works differently. Is it because of the potential amount of creatures you can charm that they wanted to reduce it's effectiveness? Seems harsh considering the cleric is using a channel divinity to be able to do this effect. And even then...
