The COOLEST Module for Pathfinder 2e (Foundry VTT)
This is, in my opinion, one of the coolest and most useful modules that I have discovered for PF2e Foundry that can be super useful to save time for both you and your players. Includes a bunch of bells and whistles and overall super useful for everyone.

I had this installed (not enabled), but didn't realize I could toggle just the tooltips off! Soo much cleaner, and imo better looking than argon
really like your videos
Noice!! Installing now!!
8 to 10 sessions a week!? Did you discover any more days in a week than the rest of us?
@Mystic-Arts-DM sometimes you just gotta do double sessions in a day 😂 i think ive thrown my schedule up in some other videos
@@CrusherEAGLE I thought I was doing something insane when I was prepping during the day and running at night like 5 sessions a week...
@@Mystic-Arts-DM I will say, if you’re running homebrew campaigns, they’d probably be a lot higher quality than just my premade adventures that I run. After seeing your channel, i can most likely ascertain that you run much better games than I do! 5 quality homebrew games a week is quite intense!
Looks great! Did anyone ever update the module that tracks movement in PF2e using speed? The first 25 feet are colored green, the second 25 feet are blue, etc. to show actions used in movement. It used to work in a previous Foundry version, but was broken in the new one.
I think it’s integrated in the base pf2e system, it’s a setting you have to enable.
Not exactly the colors, but the Wayfinder mod adds action icons to the drag movement if the option is turned on in the PF2e system.
I appreciate you talking about PF2e modules. Most of the video content out there is outdated so it's nice to get caught up with what's cool and new in PF2e Foundry.
You are late to the party! I love this module too. Makes the game run a lot smoother.
I have been using this for a while but it takes time to make videos haha! Hopefully this brings awareness to it to newer peeps.
4:55 There IS a setting to remove the confirmation dialogue! The dev clarified it, It's called "Confirm Action/Spell Shortcut", it's in settings. With this, I have literally no gripes with this module!
Yeah, I love the HUD as well. I don't like it having a calendar and dice tray though. The calendar seems to be incorrect and I like Dice Tray better.
Thankfully you can just remove those elements! Which is neat.
@@CrusherEAGLE indeed. Would have been better if they were turned off by default though, but not a deal breaker at all.
Just started using it not so long ago myself. My favourite part of it is that it combines a lot of other modules in one tidy package. No more Argon, Tooltips, Dorako, Small Time, Dice Tray etc
Can you make a video talking about how avoid notice works, specifically with regards to starting an encounter?
@@cha0sunity Thank you for the video idea! I’ll keep it in mind!
@@cha0sunity i might just make one on all exploration activities!
Even just the basic skill actions in PF2e allow for much more varied and interesting combat than 5e
Surprised it wasn't nerfed only for male characters. lol
No, didn't need 2 minutes to explain it to you either. Thanks for attending this ted talk.
I think a big reason why this change is controversial is because attack roll spells were already perceived as weaker than saving throw spells, even before the sure strike nerf. I expect the consequence of the nerf will be more diversity in level 1 spells at high levels, but fewer people building around spell attacks - which was already a niche thing to build around (outside of Magus).
Honestly with Sure Strike now nerfed, I think it could be balanced to allow potency runes on a staff to apply to attack spells or something. When Sure Strike was spammable, if you added that bonus on a Divination staff that just mean you had 10 hero points a day at minimum on your attack spells just from that. You could use one per round with an attack spell, for almost a whole day worth of encounters. But now... this could work without being broken, I think. Will check with that calculator !
Mixed feelings. On one hand, nerfing Sure Strike is rough because spell attack rolls are already hard to call viable. Doing nothing on a miss while spending half the level range down 3-4 points versus martials is pretty brutal. Yes, you can buff a caster's attack roll with everything you can give a martial, but the overall trend on the game's design has been away from spell attacks anyway, and this just supports that. Sure Strike was a staple because it was a crutch for iconic spells like Disintegrate. Removing reuse of it will increase play variability only in that specific builds that liked gambling for the lucky 20 won't be used anymore. On the other hand, caster accuracy was terrible and making it once per 10 minutes can be encouraging for team set up to deploy in niche scenarios. Disintegrate versus a powerful undead ghost that the whole party helps set up can be cinematic. Problem? Enemy hp scales hard enough an enemy won't die from one use. Want to do it again? Sure Strike is gone now. In short, it finishes the move away from spell attacks they wanted ever since Paizo realized they goofed spell attack roll math but don't want to admit it.
Hey, I'm that friend who created the file. For what it's worth, I think that the best time to use Sure Strike is when you have multiple buffs/debuffs already in place. For example, say that you originally need a 11 to hit, which is exactly a 50% chance of success, demoralizing the enemy for frightened 1 and flanking would lower the required roll to an 8. If you use Sure Strike at that point, then the probability of getting a failure or worse drops from 35% to just 12.3%, so, you make sure that you make the most of your advantage, even though the expected increase in damage would have been higher if you didn't have any AC debuffs on the target. If you used Sure Strike when you needed an 11 to hit, then it would only halve the probability of getting a failure or worse, instead of bringing the probability to 1/3 of its non-Sure Strike value.
Sure strike's nerf makes sense when I realize it's a 1st level spell slot that scales raw damage potential far into the lategame, that's too efficient. I wanna make a joke like, "if you wanna play a Blandy McBlandface numbers machine fighter is *right there*" but my gamer brain does understand what kind of damage to the balance can be done. Imagine if you have a familiar with opposable thumbs and the Independent ability constantly handing you fresh wands of a 1st level spell you could buy at Costco volumes during the lategame.
I've seen people complaining that this exact setup they were using with their starlit span magus was suddenly unplayable and their character was now worthless lol
Lmao. They don't know how good they have it. In 1e you couldn't even spellstrike with cantrips.
@@McFatson Well you could with Sigil ! :D Though to be fair there was a lot of ways for Magus to get a lot of spellstrike ammo in 1e, you had more spell slots (and pearl of powers to get more) and some spells got you multiple spellstrikes (Chill touch ? or frigid touch? i don't remember which one gave you 1 attack per caster level, so after a while you just had 10 attacks with 1d6 damage that inflicted enfeeble)
@@KalaamNozalys ahhh right I forgot about the arcane mark shenanigans hahaha. Yeah back then Magus effectively had two builds. Shocking Grasp nukes and Chill Touch to stack debuffs. I played the later of the two, and I could stack like 5 debuffs in one round.
@@McFatson I liked using Frigid Touch with the metamagic freeze to entangle ennemies with it, that was nice. But given we were playing Iron Gods...Shocking Grasp was kind of needed, though elemental spell Chill Touch for extra debuffing lightning damage on my whole full attack was also very nice. Loved Flamboyant Arcana too, opposed attack roll to parry an orc with a giant chainsaw and follow up with a spellstrike as a riposte was so fucking rad
I was expecting like 20% 😮. i think most of the reason was people just stacking it and it leading to stale turns. The limited availability of one action spells kinda leads to turns being cast spell move, demoralize, hide or take cover. I don't think nerfing sure strike is really going to affect dynamism of turns for casters much
Bah, coming here with all this math and witch-science.
It makes sense. Fortune effects are less common in PF2e and this spell was basically must-have for any melee/spell attack caster - which limited varability of characters (to the point it could make characters without it unwanted in PFS parties). Now it's something to save for attacks that are really important to land, but it's not meta.

Love the thumbnail. That's amazing.
Love the video, is the entire campaign posted anywhere for viewing? I'm a first time GM and I'd love to see how you run some of the mechanics and characters for ideas
Sadly no, it’s not available. Thanks for the kind words.
Completely agree with these. I actually get excited to prep 2e, but loathe prepping 5e sessions
I guess the significance/importance of the skill check probably plays a role in the recommendations. Having an orc lover/SO/adoptive family in Belkzen also works for non-orcs, but I'd still recommend players go orc
I am going to pull a carrot from Discworld, and make a human who was raised by orcs and legitimately thinks they are an orc.
Great content!
Great job man. I know for a fact that season of ghosts is a very succesful AP. So the views will come with time!
This was great and so well made. You gotta have the right group for this adventure, because if they don't buy into the spooky its not going to be so effective.
I’ve been looking for exactly this content! Looking forward to more!
Might play later down the line. Thanks for the rundown. Prepping Wardens of the Wildwood currently.
Great review! Keep these up!
Currently working on prepping it for a group. So far I like the story. Consistent character motivation throughout with rival holds constantly causing crises and Tar-Baphon's menacing presence in the background. I'm making minor changes to deal with poor editing or to smoothe out some of Paizo's increasing over-use of subsystems. A small thing that can really help the whole campaign is putting some of the villains from other holds (especially the Book 1 and Book 3 villains) in the Torrentmoot. It's a perfect opportunity for interaction with the BBEG with no danger of a too-early combat encounter.
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Looks fun. Maybe I'll get to play it someday. 😉
I am currently heading into book two. Went hobgoblin fighter/knight reclaimant, backstory is from lastwall sent as an emissary to foster a relationship to deal with Tar Baphon
@@palex313 Will you find a sufficient in-character motivation to stick around after book 2 starts, or rather, why would your character not go back to lastwall to report back? Just curious!
@@CrusherEAGLE Oh he isn't going anywhere till the mission is through.
My feelings were hurt by the on screen captions in this video
I’m glad you spotted it Jack!
I love chase scenes!
Cant think of an adventure path 2e has released i am less interested in than in one focused on 2e's neutered orcs.
As a player, I'll obviously not watch videos from APs I haven't played yet, but I do like this sum up a lot (disclaimer: we already played and completed this AP. It's really good!)
These videos are perfect. The biggest weakness this AP has is how open it is for players to go. Having a video that can show potential paths that players can take make the AP much less daunting! Really fun format too. Great video! And thank you for the friendly plug <3
As an amateur DM this content is SO intertaining, I love the pace of the video intertwined with the players playing it.
This is fantastic content, looking forward to Book 2 and onwards!
The fog is kind of a poor copy of Ravenloft's mists. I would suggest instead of wasting time rolling checks that will never succeed, to apply some terrible debilitating effect (Doomed 1 for example) to the players that go through the fog, forcing them back immediately and putting in them a sense of dread. Correct me if I am wrong but this book seems to want to be a horror book that fails to do so spectacularly. I'm asian and I recognize some of these monsters, sadly the Buso is disappointing, so is the encounter with the Rokurokubi. They should be disturbing encounters not jolly old good time. Jinkins also seem a poor pick for fey creatures. I would put a Duende or some weakened variant Redcaps. I played through the first chapter of this book, overall disappointed as I was looking for a horror themed adventure and instead presented with this mess. I don't get why it has a high rating with the community.
I agree with some of your points and fixes, and slanting this to be more horror themed is a great point. I still think it’s a good adventure, though, and definitely enjoyed running it.
Love it! Thanks!
Absolutely loved it! Great content!
Great recap, very professionally edited and put together. The GM tips are useful and non-interruptive. Thanks!
Super nice format! Superb content Very useful
Thank you for making this type of content! Love the actual play content condensed down to a watchable story!!!
