Only if you are using the definition of occult to be "mind altering". The more traditional use of the word often includes subjects like alchemy and older pre-modern medical practices, stuff very much on theme to the artificer. I am also not 100% set on that name anyway given the obvious pf2e...

Oh you're d%&$ skippy I'll be pitching a fit on the surveys if they pigeonhole the Sorcerer to limited spell schools like that. The bard and other hybrid classes are one thing, but as far as I'm concern the main and arguably only reason to even switch to a generic class list split is so that...

This is the precise reason why I'm in favor of a 4th spell list for Bards and Artificers. Occult is obviously the pf2e name so something different could be appropriate, perhaps Crafted? Mechanical? Artistry? I'd prefer something neutral to both classes. I could see the argument for a psionics...

I for one would prefer the base sorcerer to remain arcane, but I do think things like "Add the divine list to your spell options" would be appropriate for sorcerer origins like Divine Soul. I do, however, want warlocks to change based on patron. I think it makes way more sense than any other...

I have had a Mastermind Rogue player who enjoyed the hell out of it. She liked to fluff her help action as hitting on enemies mid battle in order to confuse them. She didn't have any issue with it what-so-ever other, though she's did end up taking a level of cleric randomly in order to add a bit...

It would definitely mess up game balance slightly if someone took advantage of it to simply change everything to thunder or force damage, though wouldn't necessarily break the game. I would, however, suggest you make them pick a damage type when they learn the spell and be stuck with it though...

Frankly I hope not. The best thing 5e did was remove feat trees and minimize prerequisites for feats. If I wanted to keep track of nightmarishly long and complicated character builds I'd play either edition of Pathfinder, not 5e. I'll be definitely giving them VERY negative feedback on anything...

I have done both. I played in a Fae'run game (set in the Lake of Steam) and ran Waterdeep Dragon Heist. To be honest I don't really like the setting, but I've come to enjoy it a bit more after doing Dragon Heist.

I will be purchasing both the book and the game, though I have no current intentions of running the adventure and doubt I will. What I do intent to do though is use it to bolster my current dragonlance post War of Souls Age of Mortals game. I'm honestly more interested at this point in the...

Honestly I hate the optional flanking rules for 5e as they completely trample all over other class features. We implemented a hourse rule for flanking to be a +2 bonus to hit instead and no way am I ever changing that back to advantage. More on topic, it's too early to say. I need to see...

I agree with Savage Attacker, but I'd not be so quick to assume all tables will have this same view. There are multiple players at our table who would LOVE to take Crafter and my wife and I both looked at Musician and said we can't wait to take this for a number of characters. The game isn't all...

Let's not gloss over the changes to grapple either! 1) A target being grappled now has disadvantage to hit any target other than the one grappling them. 2) The grappler is Slowed, which means other creatures have advantage to hit THEM. 3) Grapple is now an Unarmed Attack roll with a static DC...

Personally I think PF2E had it about right. We only really need one more list that is a hybrid of arcane and healing/buffs/debuffs for Bards and I would Hope Artificers. In PF2E they call this Occult. I care not what the name of it is but I will be VERY annoyed if Bards and Artificers lose the...

It likely will be, and the sad part is people will eat it right up without so much as caring, even though the Tyranny of Dragons literally spells out how to reskin it back to it's original form. The first book.

While your point is very likely fair and the setting is definitely full of silly names (Kender or otherwise), I'd point out that most of the time it's limited to surnames. Sturm is actually a fairly decent name by medieval standards, and I'd argue that Rosethorne is hardly the objectively...

Welcome to the ever cyclical conversation about why Wizards won't do pdf files. Literally 5 pages back has this same exact conversation. It never changes because wizards never does and their fanboys will always defend them; even if they were to offer them polished dogpoo they'd say claim, "but...

The cynic in me agrees with your sentiments, though the linguistic and logical side of me points out that perhaps people should be held to a higher standard (exceptions being made, of course, being for those who are not speaking in their primary language). Proper grammar and language matters and...

Thank you for pointing this out. Hopefully the guy below reads this. To add to this there is a reason why industry standards exist, it's to promote accessibility for as many people as possible of as many socioeconomic backgrounds as possible, and it promotes competition in the market by allowing...

Or, I remember what a $&>/show the 4e days were, largely in part due to proven track record of WoTC mishandling their in house and contracted electronic program support (that is still onging today, how'd that Dark Alliance game turn out, btw?), the horrific workculture issues that were allegedly...

As someone who actually deals with technology in a professional IT setting, I can concur with most of this. We've a saying for such illogical poorly thought out products that are more about the aesthetics than actual functionality of a product: "It's made by a designer or artist, not a...
