    Pathfinder 2E Playtest Pathfinder's New Magus & Summoner Classes

    Yeah, first time Ive seen this to be honest. Since my gaming has been halted forever by this stupid covid nonsense.

    Pathfinder 2E Playtest Pathfinder's New Magus & Summoner Classes

    So you cant get your Eidolon a flying speed until 16th level? Yet a Wizard or Sorceror can get that spell at level 5? That seems...extreme.

    D&D 5E CRs and what is going on?

    I spent 2 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Iraq engagement ranges were anywhere from 5' to 300'. We fought mostly in urban environments though. Afghanistan was 100' to 3000' depending on terrain. Though Afghanistan is EXTREMELY hilly, rocky and not flat in any one place. So most engagements...

    D&D 5E CRs and what is going on?

    Didnt take it with criticism! Just noting that now that you all are giving me all this good info, looking back on the time crunch I was under since the characters wanted to hunt the balor down and so on that at least the fight did what it was supposed to do. They will definitly be...

    D&D 5E CRs and what is going on?

    Yeah I know I could have played the group better. But I think it did what it was supposed to do on such short notice. They moved past a pretty large plot line and now are onto the meat of the game. Which will be to go north to the Troll and orc controlled lands. Where numbers of creatures...

    D&D 5E CRs and what is going on?

    Yeah Pathfinder is the epitome of this. One of the players in our game calls it "Mathfinder". 5th Edition is all about good rolls or bad rolls. A few bad rolls and bam the party dies. A few good rolls and the fight is not a challenge.

    D&D 5E CRs and what is going on?

    Yeah I played in a game, pathfinder, where the DM was throwing the regular stuff at us. But our characters were REALLY powerful. So the encounters, if we played tactically sound, which we did most of the time, were beyond easy. One such encounter though made me laugh, and was the first and...

    Alot of good information, and I will look into making an encounter with more enemies of equal or lower level with multiple attacks/actions.

    D&D 5E CRs and what is going on?

    Yeah the fought a Marilith in an earlier session and I murdered 4 of the PCs outright. I did kinda feel bad about that. So this one I was a little nicer.

    D&D 5E CRs and what is going on?

    Well the history of my world has several demons locked away. Once they die they are in hell until some great power lets them back on the planet. They must stick close to there "Jails" until they can destroy them. Which is what they were trying to do. That being said, yes, I could have played...

    D&D 5E CRs and what is going on?

    I could very well be doing something wrong. This is the second campaign Ive run for 5th edition. The first was the Temple of Elemental Evil. They rolled through that adventure without narry a scratch. As for the fight itself. One of the Goristros rolled a 1 on its save vs Banish. One of...

    D&D 5E CRs and what is going on?

    Dont get me wrong the Balor knocked the Cleric out, the Paladin out and even got the ranger down enough she ran away. But the barbarian was just to much, as well as the healing they used from potions and such. It sucks that such a powerful monster was taken out so easily. They are all level 9...

    D&D 5E CRs and what is going on?

    The Balor got away the first time, the second time before he could Teleport the Paladin critical hit him and destroyed him. Two of the party members were out of the blast zone, so they survived and revived the rest of the party. I think next few adventures for these guys will be hoards of...

    D&D 5E CRs and what is going on?

    I have a group of six 7th level adventurers. I put a Balor in a dungeon, so they would run away. Instead they attacked. They handily beat the Balor down. I mean HANDILY. They easily did 250pts of damage in 3 rounds of combat. So I ask do the CR's mean nothing in 5th edition? They dont...
