I believe Paizo misread their community when they 'somewhat' "forced" all their casters to be support / utility. You can build around that to be a DPS, but in so doing you're moving against the grain, as even the upcoming cantrip nerf helps to show. Cantrips were, after all, an easy path to...

I don't know what those are. But what the class more or less gives is an 'MMO Mage'. The closest MMO equivalent is probably midway between the Guild Wars 2 Elementalist and the World of Warcraft Mage. BUT that's a reference many might also not have. So... It is basically a 'near pure DPS'...

This response has an extremely high chance of completely derailing the topic as this issue is one of extreme disagreement in the PF2E community right now. I recommend that if we continue this tangent - it get forked into it's own topic. So PF2E is Vancian Casting. You have x slots per day. If...

The secret to Foundry is that it is EASIER to use the MORE mods you add to it. Assuming you add the right ones. Start with: PF2E workbench anything by the mod maker 'Monk'. <--- This guy/lady/team is basically "Mr Magic Hands" for the PF2E Foundry playerbase. Pathmuncher both 'PDf import mods...

Yep. Paizo themselves nearly floods the market. I have 4 pathfinder subs (you need 4 to get the 15% discount. Rules, Lost Omens, Adventures, Adventure Packs. - Beyond costs, that's a lot of reading to keep up with. There was a 'third party con' early in the year, right in the middle of the OGL...

Well... Over on YouTube 'Rule Lawyer' is always claiming PF2E works great up to and through level 20. He's done at least one combat demo of it that seemed to work. I'll soon be testing this out for myself. The new Stolen Fate adventure path goes from level 11-20 so it's a chance to see PF2E at...

All of the elements we now see as skills were just not part of the game back in the day. One of the things early competitors like Runequest did was say "hey D&D, you're ignoring that more happens than just killing monsters in 10x10 foot rooms, so we added a skill system." When that concept...

This whole making choices and having limits is a key aspect of the design for any game based on classes and levels. It's the difference between playing this and something like GURPS or Champions. The limits work to give everyone in the party a clear idea of their role in the group. I'm the...

There are feats, such as 'Untrained Improvisation' that let you boost untrained rank. - That can be used to construct a 'general do it all' that can at least do any task not requiring training. Couple it with something like the loremaster dedication and you also have a 'know-it-all'.

Agreeing with Thomas here. You don't need min/max. It's actually hard to min/max PF2E. The balance protects against "most" bad decisions. There are a few catches to that, but they're not pitfalls people fall into all that often. Making your characters as a team is NOT min/maxing. It's just...

Yeah but... the GM's expectation in that encounter wasn't too far off for the PF2E mindset. I'm not sure on the players - it was one of our first sessions together. The 'problem' was only that people misread the clues. I was thinking we were headed into the thick of it, but was then trying to...

PS: In my first campaign my group got put up against this same creature when we were just dinging level 2. SO we'd hit level 2 but had yet to take a rest to get daily spell prep and thus new spells. 3 of 5 PCs died. For us... it was going down a tunnel after the 'module' we were in was over...

This is PF2E, so no SRD. This is the critter the OPs group faced: https://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=227 Here's the confusion ability in PF2E terms: A level 3 champion, ranger, and rogue with a +0 Wisdom has a +7 roll on that save as they are Expert in Will saves. So these classes...

Single boss fights in PF2E actually feel like boss fights. A moderate encounter for a group of 4 PCs has an XP budget of 80. This means a single enemy will be PC level +2. If you were fighting a pack of creatures you might be looking at 2 NPCs of your level, or 4 level 1 NPCs, or 2 level 2 NPCs...

I grabbed Starfinder during the recent Humble Bundle and... it just didn't hit with me. I love the Golarian setting, but couldn't find anything in the Starfinder setting that caught my interest. That's fine for this question - I should be answering yes. But the game engine also failed to catch...

Yeah. I like having my games off platform and on my own install, where I can play them without being spammed for badges I've won, or having people I know comment on how much time I do or don't spend on this or that game. Is that what Good Old Games would offer? That said, for me most of the...

I tell people to get them all, then remove any that aren't doing good things for you. They have the kind of stuff that I feel should have been baseline to Foundry or Pathfinder Foundry. At least as options that could be turned on/off as not everyone wants all of their stuff. I keep finding...

I did find that I misspoke earlier somewhere in the thread. The module that shows encounter CR is not 'Monk's Little Details' but 'Monk's Combat Details' :

So I wanted to make sure I was speaking correctly. Here we can see it automatically applied flat footed when the wizard and cleric attacked. But not for the fighter's attack. You can see I've not applied any status effects to any of them. Shockingly I managed to roll misses on all of these...
