    Pathfinder 2E Best LVL 1 adventures (that are not the beginner box)?

    Hello smart and experienced people! What have been your favourite lvl 1 PF2 adventures? Can be one shots, AP beginnings, or anything in between. I have the beginner box and it looks... fine? Fall of Plaguestone has pretty mixed reviews. Anything stand out as great?

    D&D General You thought the Mercer Effect was bad...

    I loved the D&D Movie. Super fun. Laughed harder and more than any other film I can think of. But hot damn... can you imagine DMing for players who's only experience of D&D is seeing the movie?

    Pathfinder 2E Is it fun to play a caster in PF2?

    What the subject says. A lot of what I'm reading points to all casters being support which in turn points to all casters being there just to help the martials get crits. Is that right at all? Or is this another case of the internet being, well, itself?

    Pathfinder 2E Tiers of play?

    Hello smart Pathfinder people, another question from an ex-5er: does PF2 have tiers of play? That is levels where character power jumps up noticeably? The 5e idea behind tiers (which I think was never really executed in game) was that your character story progression looked like this: Levels...

    Penny Arcade weigh in

    Wasn't expecting this but it's pretty cool. <To WotC> "you have entered treacherous waters entirely of your own volition. Literally just turn around, and walk back out" https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2023/01/13/ogle

    D&D (2024) Fun new use for exhaustion?

    What do you folks think of this idea? If you miss your attack roll by 1, you can take a point of exhaustion to increase that attack roll by 1 The idea being that you push yourself hard to get the attack just over the line. I like the idea that you only get the opportunity to do it if you miss...

    D&D (2024) Dual wielder feat got worse?

    This was a surprise. Sure you get an ASI but now you can only wield one non light weapon and it's lost the boost to AC. It seems like it's gone from very average to pretty bad.

    D&D (2024) Expertise too good?

    Now that we are going to be seeing a lot more of it, I think we should look at Expertise. I think 'double proficiency' is too strong. It throws the 'bounded accuracy' of skills right out. The Alexandrian goes into it in more detail here...

    D&D (2024) Put initial stat bonus in class not background

    It seems to me that the most logical place to put the stat bonuses from character creation are in class choice, not background. Who cares what you did growing up - if you spent the last 5 years studying to be a wizard you're going to get a boost to your intelligence. Or if you spent however...

    Warforged conversion?

    Hi guys, I'm sure this has been a topic before but by search-fu is letting me down. Does anyone know if there is a standard Warforged conversion for PF? I have a player wanting to play one and the concept is solid. The actual stat bonuses/penalties aren't as critical as all the other stuff...

    Noob questions 1: Ability scores

    Howdy folks, I used to play 3rd Ed, then went to 4th Ed (and really enjoyed it), and now i am being lured over to Pathfinder, which has basically been described to me as 'like 3.5 but good'. I do like the look of PF, but I must say after messing about in 4ed some parts are a bit of a shock...

    tempest 3rd at-will?

    Howdy folks, I have a 1st lvl human tempest fighter, mc rogue. Originally I took footwork lure, dual strike and cleave, but with the change to dual strike cleave is redundant. Any idea what to choose as a 3rd at will? He's a str/dex build (v. low con bonus) so brash strike and anything...

    Anyone else having a problem updating the Character Builder?

    When I try to update it AVG (my security program) halts it saying high level malware threat detected, CB closes down, and I get one of those 'send error report/don't send' boxes. I've never had a problem before. How's it going with everyone else?

    Divine Power - what's the verdict?

    Hey all, what's the verdict on DP? I checked it out briefly in the shop yesterday and I was going to buy it but I was thrown by how much it looked like, dare I say, a rush job. I admit it was a brief look, but my first impression (unlike martial & arcane power) was that it wasn't worth...

    young dragons - experience?

    Howdy folks, I'm considering using a young dragon as a reoccurring villain for a low level party. I imagine they'll encounter it at 1st lvl, but wont get a chance to kill it proper until 3rd or so. To achieve this I'm planning on tipping the fight in the PCs favor initially, and then it'll get...

    Skill Challenge question

    Sorry folks, for some reason it wont let me search the forums so sorry it this has been answered a thousand times before. Anyway, here we go. Skill Challenges - how do they work? I've been over them a lot in the DMG, been through all the errata and I'm still confused. Say you have a two-player...

    Armor Check Penalty question

    Hey guys, do any of you know if armor & shield check penalty is cumulative? Or do you use the highest value? So would someone in plate mail (-2) using a heavy shield (-2) have a total check penalty of -2 or -4? I can't find this in the PHB. Thanks!

    Curious about Ruthless Ruffian

    Do you think it would be over powered to allow ALL rogue builds to use clubs & maces as well light blades? And just have the Ruthless Ruffian bonus as + str mod dmg when using an attack with the rattling keyword, whilst using a club or mace? I don't see why only RRs should get clubs & maces...
