Yeah. We don't do that. If we have: X--Y--Z - Foundry automatically gives X and Z flanking bonuses against Y. No right clicks needed. We see it in the dice roll log that it was applied. More complex flat footed moves, like a Pistolero getting it for themselves vs a target after doing...

That sounds like a mods problem but I'm going to have to load up my copy and test it. I've seen it automatically apply flanking flat-footed for the people who have it, no need for us to add flat-footed onto the target.

It's very easy to run Foundry on your own local machine. But one big selling point of having it on Forge is you can leave the game server up 24/7 which, as a player, is something I really appreciate. I like to look over my PC from time to time outside of the game. And if there are edits or...

I actually find this very useful. You can load up mods in Foundry to do all that heavy lifting or you can run it with almost no mods and do all that math on your own. What I love about Foundry is that once I got all the mods I wanted in place, I barely have to think of the numbers in PF2E at...

A healer or other support character would normally be my recommend for a new player except I hate pointing to the support for a female player as that's what happens to women gamers in MMOs... all... the... [censored]... time... A ranged caster with a basic spell list can be easy - sorcerer is...

Tactics. I've been repeatedly stuck on a caster in close quarters combats with GMs that would use organized tactics while our martials would split apart or full stride away from the group. Sometimes they'd do it on entering a room and the encounter would happen after they ran a full 2 strides...

Ward and Continual let you heal a lot of people quickly, while assurance prevents being locked out for long stretches of time from a bad roll. My game's medic took risky and none of the others. He misses a roll, and he can't try again for another hour while sitting there at 1 hit point because...

It depends I guess. You have to put a number of skill feats that way: Assurance Continual Ward. - some people have builds that don’t need their skill feats so can do this, other people need all their skill feats and so end up making choices… It can be good to have at least 2 people have...

If you use foundry, the tool inside of that for checking encounters is the mod "Monk's Little Details". This puts a little colored title on the GM's view of the encounter tracker BEFORE you start the encounter for what it's CR actually is compared to your actual group as opposed to the 'ideal...

PF2E Severe should be read as "this should kill 1-2 PCs" PF2E Extreme should be read as "cloudy with a chance of TPK"

So first thing is to remember PF2E is not D&D, and the way you run it and play it is very different. Just keep that in mind as a general notion going forward. Start with these two resources: Home - Archives of Nethys: Pathfinder 2nd Edition Database - all the rules Pathbuilder 2e - the go to...

Both really. It didn't occur to me but the new D&D stuff is a good reason for the delay. They've got their own plate full with remaster, D&D is changing, the OGL issue makes the project one they probably no longer have much heart to do, but since they committed they're not going to just cancel...

Thankfully being deleted. Or at least no future reference to them. Too many fans to just say the word 'delete' even though the effect will be the same. While it is OGL, there is other stuff staying that arguably needs just as much tweaking to be free of OGL. Like Orcs. Both have little to do...

It's probably only still in development due to pre-orders. I suspect once it's out the door it'll be moved to the 'unavailable' list and never reprinted unless D&D changes ownership or some similar radical change fixes things.

Perhaps. But of all the casters out there, the Druid suffers the most for it. You have to give up all of your max level spell slots to Heal. Maybe also several lower level slots as well. And your Goodberry order spell is subject to GM whim unless you GM allows you to pick berries off of your...

I'm really baffled at the people that do not like this point. tRPGs have always been a team effort. When you have two PCs in conflict it's long been accepted advice that this is an extremely bad idea unless the players worked it out ahead of time OUTSIDE of the game to make sure the plot was...

That's called playing Fantasy Hero, Big Eyes Small Mouth, or Theatrix. Maybe not even Fantasy Hero... The idea that a PC can only die for story reasons is just NOT something that has ever been a part of D&D or any tRPG that descends out of it except "maybe" Mutants and Masterminds. But even...

It probably would have been better the other way around - having the rogue stay with Gunslinger and then vetoing the Inventor. Gunslinger and Inventor are 'uncommon' so if your campaign takes place outside of major trade routes you can easily justify not allowing them. Technically you can...

There are variables of what each side can stack beyond the base numbers. But my match wasn't for a 20 needed to hit. But a 20 needed to "only" miss. Because one thing a 20 does is always make the result one step better. So if you need to roll a 29 to hit something - then you actually have a 5%...
