[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 9759202, member: 6879661"] So I decided this weekend to give the Kingmaker CRPG another go. I had previously finished the game but that was before the dungeon add on was a thing. I’d love to have a group strong enough to tackle that. I reckon I had pretty good system mastery. I must have put hundreds of hours into that game when I last played it. Not to mention that it follows the PF1 ruleset for characters pretty faithfully and we played Pathfinder One TTRPG once or twice a month for entire weekends for the best part of eight years. Plus a lot of time on 3e. Yet when I loaded up the game I realized after eight years of playing 5e I don’t remember Pathfinder 1 at all. It has been wiped from my mind. I don’t remember the feat prerequisites. I don’t remember which spells are good. I don’t remember the racial abilities. I don’t remember what a Paladin can do let alone at which levels. What the hell is a Power Attack and whybI recall this game being tough. The DCs were pretty punishing. It required system mastery to get though. The question is do I want that back? I was was expecting picking up Pathfinder again to be like riding a bicycle. Instead I feel like a new player. Anyone else that switched from PF1 found it erased from their mind, or am I likely to have early onset Alzheimer’s? [/QUOTE]
