So one piece of info is enough, isn't it? How to calm down the spiritual haunt?

I don’t think the PF2 rules are particularly well presented but I don’t quite understand why haunts are so gamey when the GM can dole out information with Recall Knowledge checks like with any other situation where the characters don’t know what they’re dealing with.

I think the required knowledge would be part of the class kit. If you know how to perform druidic magic, you would know the components for the various spells. I just let the characters purchase expensive components in suitable settlements.

Ignoring a defender's mark isn't the DM playing suboptimally. A fighter can miss the immediate attack, or the enemy can have trouble hitting the fighter. I often have enemies trigger a defender's punish mechanic because a particular situation warrants it, and the result can be a squishier PC...

Yeah, there are plot and adventure hooks throughout the geography section.

Are there plans to bring the Level Up products to the Roll20 marketplace?

There is a save, but it’s made against the initial performance. I think it could be a 1 minute performance and charmed without a save, followed by a 9th-level mass suggestion, no save because you need a minute anyway, and this is intended to be a capstone. Whether it’s 12 or 50 people rarely...

Really? If the capstone is intended to be something different, not just numbers, and something that you’re not going to keep for very long since the campaign is likely to wrap up, why not go way beyond what the rules offer? What if a druid could change the climate of a region once per week...

If these capstones are intended to feel a little overpowered, you’re gonna need to amp up the overpoweredness a whole lot more! The bard capstone is basically a subtle mass suggestion, but with a long casting time… that’s overpowered at level 20? Once per day turn a miss into a hit? Gain...

I pretty much always include dragons in my campaigns. In 4e you can easily add dragon antagonists even at lower levels. I’ve used so many different dragon types over the years, in various roles. They’re awesome. I’ve even had campaigns where every single level of adventuring has included a...

There’s a red dragon in the foreground of the cover, but is the other dragon with the spine a new design? Maybe a gem dragon?

I haven’t found higher level wizards or other spellcasters to dominate fights in 5e simply because classes like fighter and rogue can deal a lot of damage, particularly to those important boss-type targets. Yeah, wizards have much better area control and really strong debuffs, but they typically...

If you wanted a dragon to be deadlier in its lair, you’d add hazards to represent the increased power.

There was some talk of Bestiary 3 being the litmus test for continued PF2 support on Roll20. Well, the book's out now on Roll20, so there's that. Plus they also added the Sundered Waves one shot.

If we’re still in exploration mode, the action cost doesn’t matter, so any character can try understanding the detected phenomenon with Recall Knowledge rules. If we’re in encounter mode, a character can spend an action to Recall Knowledge as usual. Obviously if the haunt is a simple hazard and...

Don't you just use Recall Knowledge to figure out how to disable haunts or other hazards? That's how I'm running it.

If I wanted to restrict the spammable nature of cantrips, I might limit the use to proficiency bonus + spellcasting ability score modifier times per long rest, except warlocks for who it’s per short rest. I suppose multiclass casters would choose one ability score to determine the uses. If you...

I’ve recently started Agents of Edgewatch and I haven’t experienced any issues with the rules not being able to fit the concept. We don’t use the AP specific non-lethal damage rules and instead rely on the default PF2 lethal and nonlethal attacks. No issues. We also use the GMG automatic...

Really? I find PF2 and 5e creatures to be a lot more similar than PF2 and 4e creatures. 4e has the roles, which both PF2 and 5e lack, and 4e monsters also have the secondary roles (minion, elite, standard, solo), which 5e has the remnants of (legendary monsters and lair actions), while PF2 lacks...

5e also has much less product coming out. Paizo releases a full several level adventure with colored maps and art every month. WotC has a handful of books per year. It’s not exactly a fair comparison. The PF2 sheet does have drag and drop compendium support for all feats though, including class...
