I really dig the Hobbit, and the Silmarillion is very cool, but I have trouble with LOTR too, its not bad per se, but it doesn't touch the Hobbit, or some portions of the Silmarillion.

I am so excited for these-- especially if the Avenger Rogue can favored weapon their way into using Sneak Attack with Bastard Sword via a God like Ragathiel, I'd expect it to be balanced via the Hunt Prey mechanic they mentioned, it would gain the important aesthetic notes of 4e's avenger class...

I'm starting to realize this is good advice for players as well, a lot of frustration comes from expectations that we know the ending and that the story will have an arc like canned fiction.

I'm aware, I was providing commentary on that very thing.

I was actually kind of blindsided by the response to this, people were comparing it to the OGL, but I couldn't really find anything particularly egregious-- you usually aren't allowed to make money off other people's IP at all, and it wasn't really going to effect the mechanics any since those...

https://www.fergusonlibrary.org/event/play-dungeons-dragons-43939 For those that don't know, Pathfinder is a lot like Dungeons and Dragons, but with some rules differences for a slightly different set of tastes (if you like Magic the Gathering, even something like Baldur's Gate 3, you might...

It just doesn't do enough to fix the problems of 5e, and I'm pretty happy with PF2e, which feels like it does (in the context of my problems with 5e) plus honestly, its too exciting a time in Pathfinderland, what with Mythic coming out in two months, the Starfinder playtest, the Tian Xia...

I don't think it's super different overall in a way that people who really dislike pf2e would like sf2e, but blasters are more than space crossbows-- area fire, automatic, unwieldy are all pretty different conceptually. Some guns are straight up analogous to line spells, have an option to...

On the subject of Howl of the Wild, I think its a really good grab because the Monsters feel very splashable, just to begin with, and the archetypes are cool for players that would use them. Like, if you can think of a use for a new high level Griffon, a handful of different Hydras with unique...

But more directly: Yes, positive became vitality in the remaster, as you can see from the linked remaster version at the top and heal was originally a necromancy school spell.

Not much of one, I feel like necromancy as a non-game term is fairly intuitive.

Since Necromancy would no longer be a game term, I guess it would really just be spells that fit the necromancy flavor instead-- the table could spot rule them.

To be clear, the feat is only relevant to your adjudication if a player uses it-- it does not contain general rules for coercing multiple people, only rules that pertain to someone taking that feat. It is not located in any section that contains general rules. Coercing multiple people via a...

The base action is Coerce. It has clear rules, it targets 1 creature and does what it says it does. If someone tries to get it to do more, like apply to multiple people, you apply an adjustment using the general rules for applying an adjustment because they're trying to do something harder than...

It kinda makes sense though, by definition trying to intimidate a group of people at once is harder than intimidating one person, if you do it the way you're describing someone would become better at intimidating groups than they are at individuals because the feat doesn't pertain to...

I think I did suggest that I could run it for enworlders somewhat casually at some points, or otherwise suggested my west marches might be a fit, but I don't think anyone expressed much interest. I'd still be willing to try and pull together something a few sessions long over FoundryVTT if...

It's actually kind of interesting in that most Swashbucklers I've seen played or discussed only hold off on popping their finisher until the next time they get the chance to do so without MAP, so for them that failure state is functionally identical, I'm not sure how the numbers actually work...
