Maybe I missed it but I didn't see if a PF2 Monk's unarmed damaged improves with levels like the 3.5/PF1 monk's does. Never saw much advantage to Str in a 3.5/PF1 monk due to the fairly quick improvements in unarmed damage as levels increased. Found it better to work on Dex and Wis for the BAB...

Origins II, GenCon IX. And GenCon is listed as a War Game convention.

What most players and GMs forget, is in most medieval economies, basic goods tended to use the lowest forms of coinage. The cabbage dealer mentioned in the article is very unlikely to have enough change to break a Platinum piece, new or old, since having that much on hand would make him a...

If you can, learn what character sheet the GM prefers and print a couple off before the game. A GM will often have blanks at the start of a new campaign. But if you are joining an established campaign, blank char sheets may be rare at the table. Especially if the GM is a guest at the game...

A "Star Wars Story" isn't the same as "Star Wars: Episode xxx" Solo was a 'Story', Last Jedi was an 'Episode'. Solo also doesn't have the normal Episodic opening text crawling into space. Disclaimer - haven't seen Last Jedi yet. Not a SW fanatic. First viewing of many of the last movies...

In a way, Solo and SW:Ep1-3 are very related to the too common 1-20 Adventure Paths common today in RPGs. In Solo, before the movie opens, we know that Solo has to somehow meet Chewie and Lando and acquire the Falcon in a card game not to mention the Kessel run in 12 parsecs. The path is...

Sometimes modern things can seem proper. I used a pair of RR switch lights my dad got when the RR surplussed them. Replace the oil lamps with LED floods and you have table lights. For cheap artwork to hang on the walls, you can use things like Order of the Stick panels in a 8 x 10" frame. Or...

Your veterans apparently are far more task oriented then the ones I run with. Most of the ones around here are "Oh, Lassie said Timmy fell down the well? Rescuing the Prince can wait, we must save Timmy! " While attempting to save Timmy, the 'Well' turns out to be an orc/(lvl appropriate...

Another one that thinks char level shouldn't have such a large influence on proficiency rolls. If a 0 lvl character is a Trained Farmer, she has a prof modifier of 0. She decides the heck with farming and takes up adventuring. Five years later, she returns as a 20 lvl character having never...

For improvised minis, bags of green army men can find many uses. Bargain stores often have large craft bags of colored glass beads that can represent many things from critters to fire to invisible things. And check the toy sections for the bags of zoo critters. Look at some of the secondary...

If I read this correctly, a 1st level Wizard can now cast a Magic Missile with 3 missiles by spending two actions on it. Does seem to up power what were low level spells as long as the party is fighting a static battle. If you need to move, you have a choice to make. For those complaining...

In the Irreligious entry, part way in they define brandish. IMO, the stat block is the wrong place to be defining game mechanic terms. At most include a * and a footnote with the book/page number for the term. Also, the [[A]] and [[R]] need a better way of being highlighted. My eyes are...

Sad that Origins is afraid to have someone attend as a GoH who might have non-gaming opinions that some might disagree with. The screeching from some quarters would be of earthquake levels if Robert Heinlein was still alive and was extended an Origins invitation. Yet I imagine that many would...

Sounds like the private equity firm,Eurazeo SE, that owns Asmode thinks that the value of the collection exceeds the price spent to acquire so sell and count the profits. It is what their business model is, earn money for the investors. The sad thing is the last buyers in such deals often have...

Another question is the longevity of the 3D printed figure. Baring physical trauma or too much heat, the life span of a metal mini is near infinite. A lot of plastics react poorly to UV light and heat. My 15yr old laser printer has some parts that are yellowed with age, other parts still look...

Don't know why not, the flats are opposite each other. d4s may be a mite difficult to measure.

It is sad that in today's hyper sensitive environment, allegations are equated with instant guilt. What I read in the write up was a series of he said - she said encounters, none of which seem to have resulted in charges being filed or civil action being taken. IMO, if harassment rises to...

A fairly simple solution is go to a get XP for accomplishing the mission method. If the mission is rescue the Crown's diplomats from the opposing force before they are killed, the XP award stays the same regardless of if the party kills the entire opposing force via combat or uses stealth and...

Have to wonder if that 7th level Regenerate spell can be undone by 1pt of acid damage from that 0 lvl Ray of Acid cantrip? If so, would seem to contradict the stuff about high level spells being more resistant to low level spells. Will the Bard's playing a violin to satisfy the verbal action...
