Do you have experience making a custom archetype or dedication with associated feats?
As a gm, all you need is a copy of the adventure (mine is pdf), you don't need the vtt package. It's nice to have but not necessary to run a game. Thanks for covering this!
Great video,thanks.
Spot on 👏💯
Does holy trait on handwraps from a holy rune mean that the weapons damage die are treated as holy damage as well? my DM and group believe that only the spirit damage 1d4 or 2d4 is the effect, but why does it also add a TRAIT to the weapon itself? I hope my question makes sense, I read it as a 2d8 weapon with holy trait would deal the 2d8 dmg as holy dmg if it has the trait
I generally find lore skills very hard to justify when there are so many other skills to take. The Additional Lore feat almost makes it palatable however.
Does anyone on here know how you select sub-element choices? I've been trying and trying and I can't find anywhere on the internet how you select your element for a thaumaturge's wand implement. I tried looking under "Actions", "Spells", and "Weapons", and I just can't find where I can set something that fine a detail on the sheet.
your video audio are really really really small compare to other video on youtube v:, i usuallys have to bump up my volume by 30 more when watching your video and then turn it down by 30 when move to other channel video v:
lovely video, thank you so very much for making it~! 💖
Fantastic video! I'm looking forward to trying out 2e in Foundry and this will definitely help!
How transparent are people with the PCs in terms of telling the PCs the actual skills and DCs? It seems you need to tell the PCs all the details which is fine but this reduces the chance of clever thinking from the PCs. Not sharing would become frustrating.
Is it possible to put in custom backgrounds, weapons, or change spell names?
the trip with the axe should not have the +1 weapon potency, should it?
Very chill vibe. Thanks.
Vigilant Seal seem like the SCP of PF. Anyone know if that was intentional?
What program(s) did you use for the character portraits? I liked that they've got the same style.
Aaaand you seem to answer this @ ~10 minutes in to the video :) Seems like Hero Forge + that token mod. =Þ
how do I install pathmuncher?
Don where have you gone??
I am familiar with pb2e but have found an error. Can't find way of letting them know. Any idea?
This looks like a fun deck, thanks for the review
Checking in yet again. You okay?
The resistance junctions at 17 are really underrated. They give you immunity to your own impulses while the aura is up. Want to drop a Shattered Mountain or Infinite Expanse ontop of yourself? Run through your jagged berms? It's all doable!
In 1e we w were using the Background skills variant. I took cooking and said that my Inquistor used to work in the kitchens of her concemt a lot while being trained.
I’ve been trying for a week to get into contact with the listed contacts in my area. It’s strange there isn’t some kind of website to just sign up on. Way too hard for no reason.
Great idea. In PF2E I’ve been giving out hero points(kind of like inspirational points) for interacting in character
Great topic to cover, better to uncover previous horrible DnD experiences to heal the players and have a better time moving forward🎉
🎉 love the content
Helpful
Great tips. Thank you.
Have you started GMing yet?
Well, you are missing a practical example. I'd like to see how it works in the field
I miss this channel :(
I saw on the Paizo future publication list that there is going to be an NPC Core.
Hey thanks for putting this out. There wasn't much content on Wheelchairs in pf2e on UA-cam so I was glad to come across it. I'm a (relatively new) wheelchair user and am in the process of creating a new PC that uses a chair. I'm working with my GM to create some homebrew rules around the chair that make it mechanically interesting and more realistic. For example: moving uphill is difficult terrain but moving downhill lets you move at 2x speed. Another is reducing my bulk limit by 2 (carrying extra weight in a chair irl makes it really hard work to use - prohibitively so) but allowing myself to free action drop items into my lap instead of onto the floor. Another is reducing base move speed by 5ft but increasing it by 10 ft for moving in straight lines only. Irl there are some annoying debuffs from wheelchairs but there's plenty of upsides too. I love my chair and I'm keen to find ways to see it accurately represented in the game. I'm personally not keen on the traveller's chair just easily overcoming some of the difficulties we have to face in our lives. I'm planning to keep things like getting through doors and navigating steps as athletics checks or having some of the physical challenges require assistance from my party. I'm sure some people are delighted by a miracle chair that solves all the problems and I'm glad that it's in the ruleset, but it's not for me. Once I've playtested the wheelchair with these homebrewed rules I plan to make a video about it to share my perspective. In my searching on UA-cam I haven't actually found a video about pf2e wheelchairs that is actually made by a wheelchair user!
Oh another potential tradeoff was needing to use an action to apply brakes. If I don't apply brakes I'd move back 5ft when I made physical attacks.
A peasant with 12 strength can throw a horse over his shoulder and walk with a speed of 15 feet...
Hey @slystrategist. Thanks for putting up this video. I'm a Pathfinder Society Venture Agent in San Francisco. If folks have other questions, I'd love to field them! For those in the Bay Area, PFS is thriving in person!
Hope this gets a weapon trait like the other Athletics maneuvers (Disarm, Grapple, Shove, and Trip).
THank for going over the ritual information
Yo, Sly. This system for duelling is... ok. There's nothing wrong about the r-p-s style resolution, but leaving it up to a referee (PC or NPC) seems like it leaves a lot out of the combatants hands, and a lot to bias and ambiguity. That said, I might suggest taking a look at the Certamen rules from Ars Magica as inspiration for writing something better than this. It uses the idea of building up advantage in anticipation of delivering a finishing strike. Just a thought.
Hi Sly Strategist. I'd like to request a video on the subject of how to get started as a GM for PFS. I'd like to get a breakdown of the chronicle sheet, a clear explanation of itemization and how items dissapear after each sessions and you then get to spend a fixed amount of gold. How to check my players' characters to make sure they are legal, and how to award them with credits and items at the end of sessions. Personally I feel like I probably understand how to do all this, but would love for an experienced GM to lay it all out in a simple 1-2-3 steps kinda guide. Thanks for taking the time to do this!
Something else I do with my players using Recall Knowledge on creatures -- in addition to their name and a brief description (beyond the obvious physical stuff), I also tell them the creature's level. This gives them an immediate assessment of the threat level, so they know if they need to pull out the Big Guns.
I have 2 questions. 1. What module allows you to pull up the actions like that? 2. Can mobility be used with tumble through to avoid reactive strike? At least if you don't fail your tumble through.
I find some races lack luster. I'm making my own and maybe a bit stronger, however stepping back it isn't due to equipment over claws is Superior as example
Would love to see a part two with Godless Healing and deeper in the Medic archetype.
Just the modules I needed
its ironic to me that you state its a great skill to have at the end when I cant help but think "this is almost worthless without feats that trigger against frightened enemies" the issue is that Frightened isn't SO impactful that a value of 1 for one round PER COMBAT is going to tip the scales and Coercion is still just not as effective or safe to use as something like Persuasion which has the same benefits but without the risk that comes with antagonizing someone. for combat i honestly thing Deception's ability to Feint is more effective sense the Off-Guard condition makes it easier to hit the target (or crit) and there are plenty of abilities from multiple classes that rely on an Off-Guard target. (especially if your a rogue for example)
thank you for this. building a character right now and your insight in feint was helpful.
@@Access.Denied funny enough, faint was toned down for PF2e. it used to be that i could build a swordsman who feinted before each attack and could then move after each time so he could dash from target to target, feinting and then attacking each one in turn which let me sneak attack multiple targets. basically it was the anime ninja thing of drawing a line through multiple targets at the start of the fight and then appearing behind them all as they died.
But WHEN do you fall?! Do you fall instantly the moment it happens? Do you fall at the end of your turn? Do you fall at the beginning of your next turn? When flying and you don't use a fly action you "Start falling at the end of your turn". Does this mean someone can be flying, use an action to "Drop Prone" instantly start "Falling" drop 500ft, use a reaction due to a fly speed to "Arrest a fall" then finish their turn, 500ft lower?!
