    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    • @Millie-um2bi
      @Millie-um2bi 6 місяців тому

      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.

    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.

    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)

      @@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?!
