Pathfinder 2E: Frightened and Demoralize
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 бер 2021
- The frightened condition is great for debuffing monsters. It affects ALL Checks and DCs, which is ALMOST every d20 roll, and gives a status penalty equal to the frightened value, so it affects a lot of things. Also, it is easy to give this condition using DEMORALIZE. The tricky part is that it goes away too easy. So we look at ways to make monsters keep this condition, items that help you make things frightened, and everything I could find related to frightened and demoralize. Ideas in here for splashing swashbuckler on your intimidation tank for maximum effects...AND, a talking milkshake.

13:33 “Tumble through them or something” boy did I laugh hearing this hahaha!
Great video as always!
I think Antagonize is on the Swashbuckler to help him get his ripostes off, especially since the enemy will have a penalty to hit. I think this is a nice blend of flavor and mechanics as the Swashbuckler creates his own openings by forcing the ennemies to make mistakes. I found a way to make my Bard super-resilient so I have Dirge of Doom + Antagonize AND Fascinating Performance + Focused Fascination to make her the center of attention of all the ennemies.
Missed the ape animal companion support benefit. Easy way to keep the frightened condition going. Awesome video as always.
oooh...good one!
I love the Crunch McDabbles show
A few things to add to the discussion.
Demoralize takes a -4 if you don't share the language. This can be ignored with Intimidating Glare.
Also, Battle Cry and Scare to Death are awesome. Battle Cry lets you Demoralize for free on Intiative. Scare to Death can kill an enemy with one action, but even if you fail the check they still become Frightened 1.
Good ones. I was just looking at silvertongue mutagen. That would be a good consumable for intimidates before they get a permanent item.
@@LegendaryCMD just grab guidance at an innate spell from one of the many magical ancestry fears for that 1+ for starting out. Can also use it to help other demoralize if your playing a support
dont forget the agonize anscestry feat from hobgoblin. adding some damage to your demoralize is nice
Great Video! I was looking for some fear effects to build a Hellknight! Now I know I'll play a Swashbuckler Hellknight
Yes!! I love hellknights!!
You forgot the Feral Mutagen feat. It gives the Bestial Mutagen's item bonus to Intimidation checks :D
I'd like to see your analysis of spending an action on an animal companion in terms of damage. Vs not having an animal companion and instead having perhaps some combat feats instead of the animal companion feats.
Great stuff!
I genuinely believe that all of my friends have the Disturbing Knowledge feat in real life!
That's hilarious...i was trying to picture what that would look like, and couldn't...but hey, you can intimidate someone to death, why can't you scare them with some creepy lore. The funny part of that feat is you can scare yourself on a crit fail.
Did you guys know that ancient Romans used dried and crushed mouse brains, urine, and hare and donkey teeth ashes as toothpaste?
@@LegendaryCMD As a quick example, my wife absolutely LOVES to randomly talk about the latest Serial Killer show she watched, in graphic detail, without warning.
And yes, she occasionally scares herself by accident when doing this!
@@devcrom3 horrifying! ...kind of intriguing though...nope, definitely horrifying.
Also gotta love Agonizing Rebuke from Hobgoblins. Adding mental damage to demoralized foes.
Commenting to feed the algorithm
Just found the feed. Love it. Legendary deception skill reveal machinations also gives frightened.
Great one!! Thanks. Glad you are here.
As a goof (and for a prospective UA-cam video) I built Freddy Fazbear. That's how I learned how absolutely TERRIFYING Intimidation + Stealth specialization is. It's wildly powerful, especially with a party.
If you are a spell caster with a familiar give it the Speech, Independent, and Skilled (Intimidation) abilities. Each turn your familiar basically gets a free demoralize check for you.
Demon mask is worth mentioning too
1:32 Initiative is a perception check, right?
Why is initiative not effected by frightened?
Why is the Will Save so controversial?
Is it not? That's just been my creed to target will saves against monsters. I didn't want to ruffle anybody's feathers if they have a different style. Whatever works for you.
@@LegendaryCMD it's just a numbers game. Most monsters aren't intelligent so will is low o. Average. Humanoids and casters are the ones with high will and they they usually don't be ambush a party of wizards. Fort is the real challenge to get over
