Yes? There's nothing about the refocus activity that demands you sit down and rest, so not having to do anything in particular means that the party can still keep moving as you do it.

Any activity, including not stopping at all. If the party is sitting down for 10 minutes every time they use a focus point then the difference is relatively minor (which is why I said it's a small benefit, because I suspect that will happen fairly often), but if there is ever not an opportunity...

Additionally, Sorcerers have a small benefit in that they refocus automatically - most characters need to do something in particular to regain focus, which means they need to actually sit down for ten minutes and do it, and can't do anything else during that time. Sorcerers have no such...

Reload is actually a mechanic for ranged weapons, technically. Not for actual bows, but light crossbows and slings are take 1 action to reload and heavy crossbows take 2.

Wayne Reynolds, the artist of the Pathfinder cover. I'm not sure what the WAR actually stands for (Wayne "Art" Reynolds?), but there's a book about his art by that name.

Yes. Anyone can make alchemical items during with the Alchemical Crafting feat, which alchemists receive for free at 1st level. Alchemists don't do it faster or at a discount compared to other characters, but they do learn new formulae for free as they level up, while non-alchemists need to...

I mean, you don't need to develop house rules, since that would require this to be a real problem. A goblin attacking a first level elven wizard (AC 15, HP 12) three times deals an average of 5.8 damage. They deal less than that to armoured party members, who also have higher HP. If three of...

No, cantrips also generally take two actions to cast. They are also subject to multiple attack penalty if they have the attack trait.

You're not limited to one spell per turn, but most of them cost two actions to cast.

Maxing your primary stat isn't that essential IMO, especially since your last ability boost only comes online right at level 20, but dumping a stat with the intent to use your apex item on it seems like you run into the problem that you need to spend ~16 levels with the awful stat before you...

Barbarians and Champions have Attack of Opportunity as a 6th level feat. The Monk has the 4th level feat Stand Still, that is like AoO, but triggers only on movement and, on a critical hit, prevents the target from successfully moving away. The Ranger has the 4th level feat Disrupt Prey, which...

Fighters get opportunity attacks, several other classes, as well as characters that multiclass fighter, have either the option of getting AoO or a similar reaction attack ability. Most monsters also lack AoO.

Critical failures on attacks don't do anything. Unless a creature has a reaction they can use when something critically fails an attack against them (which is rare), or some ability provides a partial effect on a failure (but not a critical failure), it is identical to a normal failure.

If you select 'click here for more details' under the dwarf description, there are three options at the top of the screen, under the Archives of Nethys logo - Dwarf Details, Dwarf Feats, and Dwarf Heritages. Or you can just click this.

I'd be surprised if they don't print some pretty soon - I believe the second book of the 'World Guide' series, the Lost Omens Character Guide, is supposed to have a whole bunch of ancestry feats.

You get new feats as you level up in all categories, though you can also pick feats from lower levels if they have something that you want.

Not that it necessarily makes a difference with regards to not wanting the numbers to get too high, but adding level to untrained skills was axed after the playtest. Your untrained proficiency is just +0 now, though there are options to get around that (notably, you can follow the lead of a more...

This post really clarifies to me what I've found so off about your weird doomsaying. You... don't actually seem to know very much about Pathfinder 2. This is, for instance, literally not a thing. It wasn't a thing in the playtest. (It wasn't even a thing in Pathfinder Unchained, many of the...

For what it's worth, upgrading equipment in PF2 bears very little similarity to doing so in Starfinder. In SF, there are armour upgrades available every single level, and over a 20 point difference between the best armour and the worst - you are swapping out your gear pretty much every single...

I've never been in touch with a forum for a game within a few days of its release, so I'm not sure how much excitement is supposed to be happening - there's been some, that I've seen, but maybe not a lot. One more thing I'd note about the PF subreddit is that a lot of the posts are very...
