    Pathfinder 2E What Are The Changes In Pathfinder Remastered?

    Yes I do want that. Why? Because people are attacking PF2E's math by criticizing these extremes of wide level or wide group size encounters. They're doing that because we all know that outside of the extremes PF2E's math holds up extremely well for highly tactical balanced play. So they went...

    Pathfinder 2E What Are The Changes In Pathfinder Remastered?

    For the odds in PF2E to be impossible level of hopeless you need about an 18 to 20 level difference. A fighter at level 1 with base 10 stats has a +5 chance to hit. A fighter at level 20 with no armor has a base 37 AC. All you need is a +2 circumstance bonus to turn your best result into a...

    Pathfinder 2E What Are The Changes In Pathfinder Remastered?

    I'm currently playing in a PF2E game where I'm "maybe" the only player that did NOT come from 5E. Which includes the GM. For them it was a system switch. I say maybe because me and one other player joined when 2 of their 5 refused to even try PF2E. I think the other person also came from 5E -...

    Human + Half-Elf = ?

    I see. There were posts only a few days back. Didn't see that the thread itself started years back.

    Human + Half-Elf = ?

    This is basically asking about blood quantum's. While in the real world that is an extremely toxic subject... in a tRPG... I'd still avoid it. Just keep the 'half-X' as the individual is a person of mixed heritage. In PF2E at least this is ultra simple: It just means you can pick ancestry...

    Pathfinder 2E What Are The Changes In Pathfinder Remastered?

    Just did a bunch of reading on Bounded Accuracy and then on the Pathfinder 2E math. A 5E player's perspective on what they like about Bounded Accuracy: https://blackcitadelrpg.com/bounded-accuracy-5e/ TL: DR: "Bounded accuracy lets monsters be different in terms of hit points, damage, and...

    Pathfinder 2E Best LVL 1 adventures (that are not the beginner box)?

    Troubles in Otari is a 68 page PDF module. Pages 55+ deal with how to move from the beginner box into wider content. The module proper has 3 chapters. My guess is you would get 3 game sessions out of it, if the beginner box took you one to 2 sessions. It was sold for full module price, though...

    Pathfinder 2E What Are The Changes In Pathfinder Remastered?

    This reminds me of a constant debate in MMOs. Level scaling or not. You have MMOs like Elder Scrolls Online where the entire open world and all 'normal' instanced content (dungeons, etc) is scaled up to the power level of a 'new max level character', including PCs. Or MMOs like Guild Wars 2...

    Pathfinder Abomination Vaults Hack & Slash Game Coming To Kickstarter

    Will this be based on PF2E or PF1E rules? The game company that made Kingmaker and it's sequel game used PF1E as inhouse that's what they play, so I skipped buying those. Hopefully the team behind this one is using the current game's rules.

    $0? Since it's free. Here's a link to Paizo's "Free RPG Day" adventures: https://paizo.com/store/pathfinder/adventures/standalone/freeRPGDay/secondEditionFreeRPG I'm fond of the 'little trouble in big Absalom' one.

    Pathfinder 2E Healing in PF2

    On that Alchemist madness I put at the tail end of my last post. At level 4 there is an alchemist feat called Healing Bomb. It's very potent. With that alone you will "Almost" match a cleric. The problem is it consumes 'infused reagents' very fast. Its through Quick Alchemy meaning every time...

    Pathfinder 2E What does Pathfinder lack?

    Watch the YouTuber 'd4' - He's been transitioning from 5E slowly over to making more and more videos for PF2E. He's still only using the core book, but he's also "busted" the game with some builds. Consider a Dwarven Fighter that Takes Barbarian and uses a Maul. You can use all those fighter...

    Pathfinder 2E Healing in PF2

    Primary out of combat healer paths: Medicine with the Assurance Feat and Ward Medic plus Continual recovery. Blessed One dedication feat Champion class Druid of Leaf order (only works if there are fresh berries in the area). Or any other option I may have missed that provides a healing focus...

    Pathfinder 2E What does Pathfinder lack?

    It's in the Class Archetypes that you get major power ups. It's often joked that the best 'Class X' is almost always 'Fighter with Multiclass Archetype X' and for many classes this is objectively true. For other classes, very often the best way to get a power up is to start with any given...

    Pathfinder 2E What does Pathfinder lack?

    Advantage / disadvantage is on the top of the list of things I hear former 5E players complaining about. I guess that's one of those 'divides' - if you like it you play 5E, if you don't you play PF2E or PF1E. I don't know exactly what it is, just kind of sort of, so I don't know personally...

    Pathfinder 2E What does Pathfinder lack?

    Since I don't play 5E I can't say if this is exactly what you'd want but it is the concept of a weapon mage: We've got an Elf Rogue in our group that took the Ancient Elf heritage. That lets you take a dedication feat at level 1. He took Magus. He then took 'Even Weaponry' for the ancestry...

    D&D 5E (2024) How did I miss this about the Half races/ancestries

    But it pretty much IS what Jeremy said. This isn't a 'Woke or Anti-Woke' or whatever thing. This is a "we got a pile of stupid in us, so we're going to erase you." Those of us who are "represented" by the existence of "half breeds" in fantasy know what we are. We're people from mixed worlds...

    D&D 5E (2024) How did I miss this about the Half races/ancestries

    But how is it a problem? The only people complaining about this are the 'racial purity' extremists. "Pure race" people who are NOT 'half' in real life. Those people can F-off, if they have a problem with me being alive, they can come over here and we'll sort this out in person the same way my...

    Pathfinder 2E 2 New Pathfinder Videogames Announced (Update: Abomination Vaults game confirmed)

    If they use the PF2E rules I'll be there. If like Kingmaker they use PF1E then I'll pass on them. I know some feel the other way around. But I've moved off in a different direction from the 3.x rulebase. And I'd really like to see the PF2E ruleset in a video game. .

    ... and judge people by their appearance without facts. Gatekeeping other people's cultures for them. The term for that used to be called... segregation. We actually agree on some of this though. While sure, not everyone with dreads is a Rasta, black or white by the way - that it is a Rasta...
