>>95821632Nah, fantasy races are cool as fuck if they aren't completely cucked for balance or retarded lefty race propaganda. Give me races that actually have major mechanical differences to each other that basically makes them a second class choice. 2e was close with ancestry feats but they are way too lame and gay while the core ancestry itself is anaemic of any features.

>bisexual
Why is this classic archetype so rare in pfg now?
>>95822299 (OP)No, because I only play with friends who are less weird than I am.
>>95822299 (OP)>TQit's less that I ban particulars and more that I make a short player's guide (similar to the paizo AP ones but less full of useless shit) about my setting and include the available races suitable for playable characters (generally 4-8) and their rough culture, and say "please pick something that fits within the vision of and is mechanically suitable for the setting I've made"
2e, automatons Reinforced Chassis feat seems amazing for cloth casters,1 feat for effectively weightless heavy armor you can sleep in. Though the imagery of a Automaton Wizard, Witch, Sorcerer, or Psychic is odd.
>>95822299 (OP)>TQPF2e has a lot of options that either don't exist or I simply don't want to exist in My world. Like the Anadi. Fuck spiders, and fuck spider "people".
>>95824980Lost Omens: The Mwangi Expanse Fall 2025 Errata:
>Added "Arachnophobia Mode" option to the Anadi Ancestry
Sad they didn't go the route of "arachnophobes are bigots"
>>95824980spiders are sick as fuck and anadi are one of the only cool pf2e "what if ANIMAL person" races
>>95825072that would have been insensitive to arachnophobes who are a protected species for some reason
you don't see thalassophobia or tryptophobia modes in video games
at least arachnophobia modes always look funny
fucked up how being a fucking pussyass bitch 12 year old girl about animals that pose little to no threat to humans is a "condition"
>>95825155There's a "condition" for being a spoiled brat picky eater who only wants to eat dino nuggies and cheetos now. Not even joking.
>>95825208literally anything can be sacrificed so that people don't have to fucking grow up
>last book of shades of blood still not up on the trove
Did everyone just stop caring? Book 2 was pretty dogshit
>>95825467was it? that's a bummer
it sounded like a fun AP. what's wrong with it?
every book in an AP being written by someone else is just a really fucking stupid workflow
>>95825469Book 1 was filled with awful "fun" adventure filler events paizo loves to force but the 2nd half was a fine dungeon
Book 2 dungeon section was just shallow.
>PFAV
>hack and slash shit
is pf2e really that bad? where crpg? pozo gone mad
Even Dndchads got NWN2 remaster. They will be laughing at us
>>95825555Pf1e is a grog autism game
Pf2e is thestre kid "safe" consumerism for people who want to rebel against wotc for all the gayest reasons
>>95825155What baffles me is when some arachnophobia modes replace spiders with crab. Spiders are cute, largely non-aggressive towards humans, and kill household pests. Crabs are walking knife sets animated by spite.
>>95824997Genocide would not be enough.
>>95825072Most humans in the part of the world they're in now are racist. Or would it be species-ist? Either way, I'm one of them. Hate elves. Dwarves. All the runt races. Don't even get me started on the lizards.
>>95825155Spiders are disgusting and should be annihilated with all other insects and insect-derived creatures.
>>95825632Spiders aren't insects, they're arachnids.
>>95825521anything in particular wrong with the dungeon, though? based on AV exclusively, I'm pretty sure they have no one who knows how the fuck to make a good dungeon, but it's been years since AV and I'd like to believe they've either picked up someone or someone learned a damn thing about it
honestly not having anyone that knows how to make a good dungeon is insane. that's like "I'm a best buy employee but I have no idea how to use a computer" shit
if the dungeon is at least passable though I am more than okay with a whole book being a dungeon, personally. and frankly I wish more books were just sandbox dungeons instead of linear storygame railroads
>>95822299 (OP)>extra armCouldnโt even do the most basic QC on your AI art, huh?
>>95824862I'll never be okay with the extremely inconsistent way they balance natural armor and natural weapons
>>95825863Is that not just an actual creature that has more than 2 arms?
>>95824862automaton wizard is fine. wizard magic is just memorization and recitation. witch toes the line and is weird but I could see it
the others don't make much sense though
>>95825882Natural armors were consistent before. Illogical shit, but consistent. They only look inconsistent now because Dragonblood's didn't follow how they used to work, but now that remastered Automaton's has been changed to be more like Dragonblood's you should expect them to work like that going forward. They just haven't gotten around to fixing all of them up yet.
>>95825863It's a creature that has 4 arms dumbass

It's been a bit of a nice change of pace making simpler sheets for more down to Earth streamers whose identities can easily slot into an existing class archetype, and what's more I also got a fantastic excuse to bust out the Kemono racial option I developed a few months back!

2e
I am playing a bastard sword open hand fighter with a tekko-kagi and was curious if after a successful Combat Grab, can I use the tekko-kagi's parry as a third action? Since the tekko-kagi hand would be holding the enemy, does that negate all traits or just the attack focused ones?
pf1e was like grim edgy but kino dark fantasy
pf2e feels like this
>>95828650The rules don't say you can't.
I just think it would look stupid and I can't visualize it, so I'd say no.
>>95829137>Sirs, why do the subversive orc people have to infest everywhere?Does the literal Russian not realize the irony in posting this?
>>95829155Is there any way to use a grabbed enemy as a human shield then?
>>95829168Yeah just stride around until he's between you and any attackers. Should be lesser cover, standard cover if you use an action to take cover.
>cis female elf fighter

>>95829175everything related to cover and shields in this game is so fucking retarded

Gonna have to raise it first!
Sorry!
>>95829576>you have to take 2 whole seconds raising a relatively light piece of wood/metal every 6 seconds and also it hurts your arm too much to keep it raised for more than 4 seconds so you need to drop it to let your arm restA fat fucking retard who has never left his mobility scooter wrote these rules.

>>95829636If this is your idea of having fun then you are objectively doing it wrong.

>>95829775>If this is your idea of having fun then you are objectively doing it wrong.Proving my point. You just hate people being happy.
>>95829589It should have just been a stance
>>95829838You have far too much of a high opinion of yourself if you think im throwing out hatred. That's kind of the issue with your group really, you think any kind of minor negative view of anything that could be perceived as your identity is full blown hatred. Its more just annoying that my eyes had to be attacked by such ugly art.
>>95829953hey, cool it with the anti-fighter rhetoric, you wouldn't want other classes to get access to this extremely basic shit would you?
>>95829970Sure buddy, you don't "hate." But you're aggressively negative towards anything that doesn't fit neatly in your "this is what I like" box.
>>95830017>Aggressively negativeI made a snarky comment on a Mongolian basket weaving website. If you cant handle that buttercup then maybe you should get off the internet.

2e, Cleric Warpriest vs Cloistered with champ archetype. Which would you rather play.
>>958305491st is classic trad and chud
2nd is modern woke and awakened
>>95830549Warpriest just to get shield block and expert fort at 1, no other considerations.
Besides, if you don't do that you're gonna be a dress wearer for 6 sessions before putting on your armor which is ridiculous.
>>95830549Between the two? Warpriest. Cloistered is the Cleric as a pure spellcaster instead of as an armored frontliner, so taking the Champion arch is a bit of a weird mismatch.
Taking it as a Warpriest makes more sense since it upgrades you to Heavy armor.
>>95830604>>95830612modern players are like this unironically
they are magic boxers orcs, cloisterd clerics with champ archetype kobolds etc
Nwn2 remaster as ambassador of Dnd looks better than hack and clash mobile shit Abomination vault as pf2e ambassador.
>>95830807The retard is speaking, just ignore him.
>>95830549Cloistered with an EVIL Champ subclass.
Here me out here: being both a Defender and Healer is kinda redundant. The way Divine Font works, you can't temper your healing. You will overheal more often than not. It makes more sense to take an option that grants (You) protection and keep you up for longer, over reducing a big hit you were gonna heal back up to full in the first place.
Warpriest doesn't really gain self damage reduction and isn't about sticking in the backline like Cloistered is. And while they get easy access to Shield Block and Heavy Armor faster, that sort of just it + you become reliant on a Crafting bitch to keep your shield maintained. You also tend to spend more Divine Font slots on yourself over your allies, not even counting the Fonts you use for Smiting. So Warpriest can be a bit of a self-defeating concept if you don't bring your A-game.
>finally get new spells and archetypes worth a damn
>all the conversations I see are just bitching that they're too strong
Man the pf2e fanbase is just addicted to snorting complete dogshit
>people saying pf2e is woke
>it doesn't even have mandatory futanari gangbangs in APs
>>95831479Some of them are way too high ranked but its surprising that some solid spells were found in a lost omens book.
>>95831705This. And they're orcs.
>>95830549Warpriest with Champion archetype, Shield Block and better Fort save is a great trade for reduced spell DC since you're stuck with the Divine tradition.
>>95831479modern audience don't like strong spells
casters should be weak
>>95831970Is that what they say on the polack forums because I don't see that represented here but you just want a woke boogeyman to oppress you. Fine

stop denying us
Is this what this thread gonna be dealing with all week? Starting to miss Fighterfag and Psychic-Schizo. I'd even take Inventor Bitching again...
>>95832048the worst part about it is actually agreeing with some of his takes on player culture and the shitty weak content paizo (historically) puts out for 2e
>>95832048The only reason I really miss the pre-PF2e era is that at least when we were bitching about PF1e, it coincided with people making and running games, even if the concept of app circuses fucking sucked and just meant 10 threads in a row of people going "I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH FAT ONI ASS" and theorycrafting how to do a mythic vital strike change of heart so hard that Baphomet turns into a big titty cow woman who loves them.
I'll bitch about paizo's content and their fanbase all day, I have tons of legitimate grievances about PF2e after playing a bunch of it (the feat tiering sucks and class feats on everything has been kind of detrimental to class design), but nothing about how they publish at the core changed. Paizo if anything printed both a higher % and higher total volume of complete garbage shit for PF1e than 2e. Did everyone just forget about the player companion books? Where in an entire book maybe one feat or spell would be remotely worth remembering exists?
>>95832179>Paizo if anything printed both a higher % and higher total volume of complete garbage shit for PF1e than 2e. Did everyone just forget about the player companion books? Where in an entire book maybe one feat or spell would be remotely worth remembering exists?the thing is, it's not hard to print feats and spells that people would actually want to take, and they have/had an opportunity to just be doing it for years. "what constitutes a good thing" was solved within months, it's how they made the divine list not suck dick
they KNOW how to print books full of stuff people would want to take. they KNOW how to fix their game's problems. at this point, the math is so tight that it's just not at all difficult to do so. they can get away with a higher power budget than they print on the regular, and they're well aware of it. they just don't because "ivory tower design rewards good players" or some bullshit instead of making the fucking roleplaying game function as a roleplaying game without hamstringing you for choosing options for roleplay
here's another fucking d4 agile or d6 "no features" natural attack you'll never use
>>95832137Broken clocks and all that, you don't need to give him THAT much credit. Especially if it's the same Russian schizo posting innocuous shit from Reddit. Dude's literally calling everything beyond Human Fighter woke, man cannot even get over the knee-high barrier of complaining about Tiefling Bard players.
Yeah, post-5e14 and COVID players are spineless pussies, that's not a secret. Nor is Paizo being made of the same invertebrates and raking in money pandering to them. There's really not much more to add at the moment beyond "Water is wet" contemplations. If we get another fuckery like retconning slavery or saying Samurai and Ninjas are pointless to add in the Tian Xia book, I'd be all there. But just mindlessly posting tradcath-esque "RETVRN TO TRADITION" shit ain't it.
>>95832179You'd think being able to play as Onis with Fat Asses in 2e now would turn around more people.
>Did everyone just forget about the player companion books? Where in an entire book maybe one feat or spell would be remotely worth remembering exists?I was pretty late to 1e discussions but even I remember just how awful a lot of lategame player option books were. I'm still amazed how fucked Occult Adventures and Advanced Class Guide classes are, they can't even get Unchained stuff now (side note to the Starfinder1e crowd; how was the Enhanced book? I noticed that really got buried under the SF2e reveal, so I heard nothing on it since launch). Hell, you can't even get good lore from the World Guides, most of the shit was expanded in either APs or 2e!
Paizo's production and split team focus is both a blessing and a curse. There's new shit every month, but also new SHIT every month...
I'm playing a fighter with an exemplar dedication and titan's breaker on a greataxe, and these enemies are STILL taking too long to die... we had a combat against five "strike three times" enemies and it still took like an hour and 45 minutes to complete...
>>95832253Yeah the Russian schizo spamming woke is just as tiresome as the faggot crying and shitting up the thread because people dont like pastel corpo slop art.
>>95832253>You'd think being able to play as Onis with Fat Asses in 2e now would turn around more people.I guess there's how that heritage is kind of mediocre, but it's good enough and easy enough to bandaid that another player is planning on using it for a character. It'll be sick as hell. also I assume most shitposters are nogames
>(side note to the Starfinder1e crowd; how was the Enhanced book? I noticed that really got buried under the SF2e reveal, so I heard nothing on it since launch).I didn't play a ton of SF1e but of the times I did play, I played an envoy, and the enhanced book fixed exactly one thing (not enough early features) and left most of the rest of my problems with the class untouched (I still sucked at most skills)
From what I saw of Solarian, basically 0 of its real problems got fixed and it mocked complaints by giving it a highly limited cha-to-att/dmg midway through level progression, behind an "after using zenith revelation" activation wall.
>>95832014You removed PACG from the OP you deserve nothing you fucking troglodyte. Eat shit and die.
>eagle knight and Commander are what I wanted out of my dude a fucking year and a half ago
>deep enough in the campaign that I don't want to rebuild him (a second time)
I am so annoyed, bros.
At least they're printing some cool options I guess.
>>95832048I can start complaining about the Monk, if you want...
Going to paint a bright pink leshy because I think the lotus ones are cute.
>>95832452>but it's good enough and easy enough to bandaid that another player is planning on using it for a character.this is a sincere "how," because one of the guys I play with GMs sometimes and he likes weebworld settings. and I kind of have my eye on hungerseed even though it kinda looks like shit
my plan was to posit orc hungerseed as a fullblooded oni, and just use base orc and its feats. or maybe hobgoblin. but honestly at that point I'd just be wearing the heritage as a skinsuit and taking the much better racial feats from those races, at least until oni rampage since that thing is sick as hell
>>95832628I think since that game is still so far off, most of the "how" hasn't really been discussed sadly since I don't know how much of it is just flavor pick and how much of it is wanting any of the feats. I know if I was running a game I would probably change the heritage natural attack to have a choice of like, finesse or something else, then make the size increase feats be less shit (no clumsy or sustain requirement since your only benefit is size with no reach/damage increase, and the upgrade feat adds the reach and removes all the frequency fuckery)
>>95830546>7 minutes of content for the past 2 months
>>95832687no clumsy might be good enough for the size feat honestly
one thing to keep in mind about increasing your size is that does still increase your reach just because you take up more squares and can threaten the squares adjacent to those squares
my plan was actually a nodachi fighter to use that feat
>>95830549When I played Warpriest, I regretted not going for the latter so much. Getting Shield Block never did anything for me, because my deity's favored weapon just so happened to be a 2-hander.
>>95831479Yeah they're never going to stop bitching about Exemplar archetype. And yet it's what every mc archetype should be like. Instead the players want more feats like the Fighter dedication one.
>>95832179>The only reason I really miss the pre-PF2e era is that at least when we were bitching about PF1e, it coincided with people making and running games, even if the concept of app circuses fucking sucked and just meant 10 threads in a row of people going "I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH FAT ONI ASS" and theorycraftingI'll post my LFG here when I'm done taking a break from GMing. Don't worry. It's even Rise of the Runelords, set in the Old World and using WHFRP 4e.
>>95832452Did it at least fix people getting worse at ship maneuvers with every level, or are you still better off with a rookie crew than a trained one?
>>95832525They reintroduced Eagle Knights of Andoran? I thought Paizo was determined to avoid any mention of slavery moving forward, and the Eagle Knights are all about destroying the slave trade. What are their mechanics?
>>95833088"Paizo removed slavery" Was a kneejerk reaction to ride the zeitgeist. They never removed it, only included a bunch of gay little Chaotic Good diversity squads that successfully disrupted the slave trade throughout Golarion enough that it's not a common practice anymore. Cheliax still practices wage slavery, for example - they removed chattel slavery and replaced it with, "you're bound to pay off your debts."
>>95831787Nah, kill yourself
>>95832995Most of my dislike of Exemplar archetype comes down to it being a fucking boring one or two feat wonder, and it feeling like it just highlights that Exemplar itself really needed more time in the oven, because there is legitimately no way to give a "weaker" version of anything without making the archetype completely pointless.
>>95833077Uhhhhhh, I think they errata'd the DC scaling to be less aggressive, but it's still really dumb and assumes you're scraping for every single skill bonus possible, meaning you're sorta fucked if you roll secondary skills
>>95833088The Eagle Knight dedication itself sucks immense ass, but it has a good feat at basically every level after that, and overall it's very strong
https://2e.aonprd.com/Archetypes.aspx?ID=314
>>95833108That's still a serious sandpapering down of the world.
>>95833170>one or two feat wonder>needed more time in the ovenThat's just all of PF2e
But it's true that the class's feats are underdeveloped and so the archetype suffers from it as well.
>a fucking boring oneI couldn't say that. It feels like I never get to have as much fun with feats as I did with exemplar dedication and second ikon. So many flavorful options that actually feel impactful and give more than one benefit each. And I even get to upgrade the way I interact with Shift Immanence.
In most other cases (mc) archetypes feel anemic as hell.
>>95832253>saying Samurai and Ninjas are pointless to add in the Tian Xia bookQRD?
>>95833326some shit like "they're just fighters and rogues, and adding variants to them is racist"
>>95833302Yea I hate most archetypes for a reason. Really exemplar just feels like it has the opposite problem Thaumaturge has, where I cannot remember the last time I saw anyone recommend its archetype, because the implement access you get just kind of sucks and the best parts of them are all upgrades you likely won't ever get, and most of their shit is only good on thaumaturge anyway
>>95833326One of the writers for the Tian Xia books said there was no plans to add Ninja or Samurai, and focus would be on other things. The PF2e community began eating itself over what "Samurai" and "Ninja" would even mechanically entail (and admittedly, there are valid points that certain rep already exists, even if there's plenty of room for a standalone archetype of each) until a (now ex-)reddit mod went on a tirade about "wanting samurai and ninja options is just racism" and made everyone stop fighting eachother and collectively go "no, wait, fuck that guy"
>>95822299 (OP)>TQfuck the Kashrishi
>>95832048Fighterfag is still here. Everyone has just figured out his game so he lost a lot of his control over the thread.
But if you criticize 2e in any way there's a good chance that you'll get to hear his passive aggressive bitching like always.
>>95833403>>95833464yikes!
shitting on mechanics and tone at the same time
>>95833563fighterfag is this new guy and this new guy is fighterfag just going with a different angle
dedicated trolls are people that don't actually play the game, they just want to shit up a community or thread
>>95833595The entire thing is funny because actual paizo authors didn't really say much, and there's a lot of legitimacy from less insane players that things that are Samurai and Ninja-shaped are perfectly doable. There is interesting conversation in comparing all the ways to do it as compared to a theoretical new thing with those names.
>Exemplar has options for doing a fantastical version of ninja or samurai depending on what you pick>Kineticist could let you do a more mystical leaning elemental fantasy ninja>Just Rogue with lots of disguise can probably get you the "mundane historical ninja">Precision Ranger with high Str and Dex could get you a "real historical" samurai>Commander with a horse for the other stereotypical "historical" samurai>Cavalier and Marshal archetypes both also cover some of that ground>more stuff I can't be assed to find right nowNotably missing are the stock Iaijutsu Sword Guy and Slightly Magic Rogue
>>95833725Slightly Magic Rogue does exist though it's just eldritch trickster
that said, I still think ninja/samurai could at least be class archetypes and it wouldn't have been that bad or repetitive
ninja as a ki points rogue and samurai as a ki points fighter would have been a-okay
>>95833761I'll be real Eldritch Trickster is so shit I don't count it as even existing. Rogue feels like it would need unique focus spells, if not something else entirely, for it to not be worse than just using an archetype
>>95833725It's just that there's much more justification for those archetypes than so many of the existing ones.
They could have literally printed Eagle Knight as is but called it Samurai and nobody would know the difference.
either monastic weaponry should be baked into monk or monk should start with a free feat for use with either a stance or monastic weaponry
>>95833725Yeah, you can kinda get a Ninja with a mishmash of different classes and archetypes. The easiest you can do IMO is using a Monk or a Rogue, but it's always a bit clunky and expensive. Where's the izuna drop?
>If you don't have high strength you shouldn't even try athletics actions
>Trying to play an agile fancy fighter and then tripping someone basically just kills you
Tired. I am tired.
>>95834101>didn't build around the obvious "I win" skillYou're gonna play what daddy paizo tells you and you're gonna like it
>>95834192I just want to play a dex based martial that's primarily a variety support/debuffing character, but doesn't do it by being a yapping loud-talking cha-based piece of shit (for the 10th time) and I think I'd want to do it as a thief rogue. If I ever use demoralize, one for all, or bon mot again I think I'm going to fucking puke.
>>95831763Nice reddit picture
>>95834331Sorry but you're objectively wrong if you try to use Dirty Trick over anything in Athletics. You don't even get the Agile trait for your DEX-based maneuver while Athletics gets it on top of all the other support
>>95834459That is in fact the snag I'm hitting and why I decided to whine in /pgg/ about Athletics. It sucks that I could do EXACTLY what I want to do with a kukri and tekko-kagi and run in, trip, disarm a fucker, and then if I picked fighter just have him by the balls on the ground disarmed and swinging at -4 (if he even still has his weapon) and primed for an AoO if he fixes either condition. But the character doing it in my head isn't an 18 strength gorilla.
The thing is that character doesn't even do any fucking damage or progress the fight towards a conclusion, whereas if I were to just do a 4 dex thief rogue, run in and strike twice, I'm doing just that. And none of it is even good enough to work on bosses. People talk up and down about all the tactical options you have in this fucking game but there's always fuckall you can do as a martial besides hammer things with strikes and shit out demoralize/bon mot/OFA bonuses. It's fucking boring.
>>95834331Grab Acrobat Archetype, man. That's where all the good buff stuff is.
>>95834554Yeah, up at level 10 and if you've got free archetype, both of which are never true.
>>95834101>>95834331Remember launch when everyone assumed Finesse with a maneuver tag would do the reasonable thing and let you do dex Athletics maneuvers, making finesse weapons with maneuver tags be remotely fucking worth doing? And Paizo had to errata/FAQ it to say they don't? I do. Absolutely insane they introduced dirty trick and it is just bad.
Is there no PF2e equivalent to silent image, major image, etc.? Do I really have to wait until I'm level 9 and have access to illusory scene if I just want to conjure an image of a rock or a tree or whatever?
>>95834723Illusory Scene is for multiple objects, the Figment Cantrip, Illusory Object, Ventriloquism, and Illusory Creature is what you want.
Anyone have any adventures for 2e they like? Not whole paths, just adventures. 1-3 session drop-ins. Preferably more like adventure sites. Locations with potential energy for the PCs to set off rather than "as you wake up in the morning you're immediately struck with an NPC telling you what to do and how to do it" tier shit like most Paizo APs.
I tried looking through DTRPG for a bit but the few things that weren't ridiculously priced and actually had previews available were hideous abominations of boxed text and railroading nightmare shit. Gave me the impression I'd just have to fucking do it myself, but there's people with more experience looking at 2e stuff than I do out there. Or I guess 1e stuff that matches the criteria, conversion isn't hard.
>>95834502>People talk up and down about all the tactical options you have in this fucking gameYes it's a bunch of bs
>>95834578>and if you've got free archetype, both of which are never true.I would guarantee 90% of tables run FA. The game is extremely unfun and restrictive without it. Moreso than usual I mean.
Tell your GM to stop being a faggot and that FA doesn't break anything if that's what they're afraid of.
>>95834973These kinds of discussions always make me think how many builds in 5e are made irrespective of the """""optional"""" feat rule. We always need to assume FA isn't allowed, but most 5e players would say not having feats is an INSANE thing to do.
>>95832253>how was the Enhanced book? I noticed that really got buried under the SF2e reveal, so I heard nothing on it since launch).It was complete and utter shit. A shit ton of "surprise surprise" fucking meaningless feats. Everything added for the Solarian was done with nothing but absolute hatred and spite.
>Attunement Surge: While you have 2 attunement points in a stellar mode, you can expend 2 attunement points on your turn without spending an action to gain two effects until the beginning of your next turn. First, you gain benefits from that modeโs stellar revelations as though you were fully attuned, rather than attuned.>...As though you were fully attuned...>...FULLY ATTUNED...A few months later, Paizo kills it with a FAQ, as they always do. They made this shit for about 4 revelations.
>>95835007>Combat Meditation: As a full action, you can concentrate and channel the cosmos to gather power more quickly. Attempt a DC 20 Charisma check. You gain 1 attunement point for your current stellar mode if you fail the check, or 2 points if you succeed. This cannot increase your attunement points above 3. Once you use this ability, you cannot do so again until you spend 1 Resolve Point to regain Stamina Points after resting for 10 minutes. At 5th level, you can spend 1 Resolve Point to instead use this ability as a standard action. At 15th level, you can use combat meditation as a standard action, or you can spend 1 Resolve Point to use it as a move action.Another waste of time. Waste your entire turn, then make a DC 20 Charisma check you'll never actually succeed at. And yet again as they love to do, you aren't allowed to do it again unless you spend your being-alive points for it.
>>95834973We used to play with it, but some discussions happened and we mostly agreed that it was just minmax city (because one player used it to scoop extremely high value stuff only in the only high level game we ever played). I didn't really agree and just said "all you have to do is not do that," but I was overturned, and now we run without it.
There's only one guy at my table who actually likes running the system and he's one of those level 3 to 7 only guys. The sole aforementioned exception was finishing Ruby Phoenix with free archetype, which spelled the end of FA.
And when I run games (which is actually most of the time. with these guys I went from biweekly for 2 years to weekly for 4, and I take only 1-2 week breaks between campaigns) I'd much rather use other systems. So I doubt I'll be turning them around on it.
>>95835007Can you explain this more? Don't have too much knowledge on Solarion's mechanics, so I'm not quite getting the issue here? Unless Full Attunement isn't an actual system, in which case Total Paizo Death.
*timber sentinel*
Your move.
>>95833725Ok but those books are filled with archetypes that could be accomplished by mishmashing content and I've still not heard an adequate reason for why Samurai & Ninja suddenly are under such harsh scrutiny when shit like Pirate and Viking exist other than obvious bigotry because Japan were le heckin imperialists.
Do not get it twisted. The people that work at Paizo and who are all in that freelancer design sphere including groups like team+ all completely agree with that reddit mod was saying but he made the mistake of saying the quiet part out loud and caused a shit storm they couldn't just cry bigot away.
>>95835763okay but that is kind of immaterial to the point that it is a legitimately interesting design question about what the fuck you should make a Samurai or Ninja class/archetype/whatever actually consist of, shitheads with a chip on their shoulder towards Japan can get bent, especially if they're not going to give me wuxia/xanxia shit actually worth bothering with
>>95834017One of these days I'm gonna do a Flurry ranger ninja. Dex-based means studded leather armor off the rip for the pic-related look. Shurikens are reload 0 so they work with Hunted Shot, and they're agile too, unlike bows. The 20' range would be a problem for most characters, but ranger has access to Far Shot at level 4, and can even pick up Strong Arm from the rogue archetype if they want even more range. They're almost certainly going rogue at some point anyway for access to Mobility, which basically gives them a gigantic Step that they can use to get away from melee opponents before unloading three shurikens into them. There's a few places to go from there.
You could go down the Warden's Boon/Shared Prey tree to buff your martials' iterative attacks and enable three-Strike turns. You probably also want Initiate/Advanced Warden for Gravity Weapon and Animal Feature, focus spells that grant you a flat damage boost (great for making 4 attacks per turn) and a fly speed respectively. Since you're boosting STR/DEX/CON/WIS you'll qualify for the fighter dedication by the time you're out of rogue, which lets you grab Assisting Shot to buff your allies some more, and eventually Felling Strike so your gatling gun of shurikens drops fliers out of the sky. You can also afford Distracting Shot/Greater to make enemies you tag off-guard, then head back to rogue and take Sneak Attacker to take advantage of that with another flat damage boost. If you're not in a FA game you'll have to pick and choose from these, if you're using FA you can just scoop up all of them.
On the skill side of things, I might be tempted to grab the jumping/climbing feats from Athletics along with assurance. Since shurikens are one-handed, you'll have a hand free for cllimbing, meaning that, in your later levels, you'll be able to leap/run up walls and cling to them while throwing ninja stars. On top of that I just think the Hunt Prey action fits really well with a shinobi character. It's rad.
>>95835909There are plenty of ways you could go for samurai. I would make it a fleshed out fighter class archetype the gives you Iaido feats and all that honourable spirit shit like challenging someone (which is strangely absent as a concept apart from one high level focus spell) and being able to no sell lethal damage.
Ninja, i will admit would just be a magical rogue but you could easily have a lot of fun with it at a design standpoint. Anyone arguing against including more flavourful and fun content while sucking up the rest of the archetype slop that Paizo releases is clearly not arguing in good faith and has an agenda to push.
I honestly hate that this is a thing in current day. Nerds are being told its bad to act like weebs in fucking pathfinder of all things because the freaks in charge have decided their shitty political agendas are more important than releasing fun content.
>>95832518Don't compare me(OP) to the fucking orc, you philistine.
>>95835974>it's bad to act like weebs>anyway feel free to play a kitsune magical girl (as long as you're a fucking furry)
>>95836412Unironically yes.
The amount of furrybait ancestries is fucking lame. The worst part is they turned the awakened animal which could of had an interesting and unique niche of letting you play as the group's Red XIII with all the limitations that comes with it but instead its yet another furry race.
>>95836760Why do these people always make their Tieflings pastel coloured with very little fiendish features apart from horns and a tail? If you are going for freakshit half demon at least go all in on it. Other than that the eidolon is pretty sick.
Grim reaper is the strongest and coolest among all 20+ monsters. This is so sad.
>>95836760Synthesist when?
I wanna do cool sentai shit where my aasimar summoner turns into some badass angel knight instead of just summoning one and sitting back and buffing it while it does all the work.
NO, Meld into eidolon DOES NOT COUNT, it is unplayably bad and paizo should feel ashamed.
>>95835943>Strong ArmNo. Hurl at the Horizon is better. Especially since you'll want to go for Shadow Sheath anyway.
>>95837188Shadow Sheath
>Usage: a holster or sheath shaped for a one-handed thrown weapon of light Bulk or lessHurl at the Horizon
>Usage: imbued into a thrown or melee weapon ikonBravo Paizo, I fucking hate how unnecessarily roundabout they can be sometimes

ahhahahaha
>>95836572>with all the limitations that comes with itThat's just Paizo's cucked balance dogma, not furrybait
>>95837209I just ignore their millions of oversights.
>>95837209>Can Thaumaturge double dip on weakness?>Can one item have/be two Ikons?I guess making game/campaign specific rulings is the way to go.
>>95833208>That's still a serious sandpapering down of the world.It's hardly the worst, I'd be willing to give up slavery if the campaigns were compelling and the NPCs were suitably well-fleshed.
>>95835974>Nerds are being told its bad to act like weebsOh you just want to scream and cry and piss yourself in public over things only worthless shitheads think, gotcha. Nothing has stopped or shamed me out of weebing it up just fine, especially with anime being more popular than ever, so I'm just going to call this a mcfucking skill issue, gaylord.
>waaaah furries existOh crawl back to 2011 and piss yourself you whiny bitch
>>95836918Greenman and the lineup of Kaiju are better in my heart
>>95835974>>95837752Pissing yourself over what some impotent Portland nerd thinks about โorientalismโ is pathetic. Remember when Jason Schrier whined about Sorceress from Dragon Crown being a โgross and pedophilic character?โ People didnโt get angry at him, they doubled down and mocked his take. Even the official artist got in the picture and drew gay naked dwarves for โwhat Jason really likes.โ
Youโre acting like James Jacobs is an authority at your table, that Jessica Price should transmit shame into your skull. Fuck those limp-wristed, West Coast thinbloods, if your table wants Ameeko Kaijootsoo to be a busty Nikke character than they can do that. If you want to play a Samurai obsessed with honor you can do that. And if the devs can somehow see whatโs happening and tell you to cut it out, you tell them to fuck off.
>>95837752>>95837885None of that is what the anon said. He was pissed that the designers have become no fun police faggots while they pander to degenerates like you. Personally i dont much care because homebrewed 2e into nearly a completely different game.
What are the odds you're the troon that was pissing and shitting up the general earlier because someone didnt like the faggot coded corpo slop art?
>>95837987>he wants to talk about D&D againfuck off back to your general bg3freak
Pathfinder lore sucks so bad! There is this ranger (more of a barbarian really) who has a cute cuddly miniature giant space hamster as a friend. Who makes this trash up?
>>95837987James Jacobs is not god. Heโs a middle-aged white guy in Oregon. His truths are not your truths. Same with every โno fun allowed police faggot.โ Their badges are fake, their guns are props. They hold no authority over you, stop giving it to them.
>>95829137They had to get rid of overt slavery due to the modernization of the consumer base. Beyond that, what else did they change/sanitize?
>>95838043Sarenrae/Desna/Shelyn are a confirmed lesbian throuple, which is more eye-rolling than annoying. Nothing else has really been โsanitized.โ
>>95838056Oh, they stopped talking about how you can fuck NPCs. That used to be a consistent thing in early editions; saying which NPCs are available for love and how to go about that. They removed this but itโs not really an issue since romance is cringe, and people who want it will be in the company of those who can turn any NPC into dating material anyway.
Players are about to engage in PVP due to AV making the mistake of having a non -immediately hostile mummy and me deciding to to roleplay a bad guy as a dick for once.
Party is split between the cleric and the other 3. I assumed we all knew it was gonna go to violence since they've been chaffing with the cleric for a while, so I railroaded them into having their morale argument in a spot where I explicitly said there were no witnesses and no one to call for help. The other 3 missed this cue and let the cleric leave alive while they left the town tod find a living sacrifice for the mummy (for a vague implication of power I offered)
Cleric, left to his own devices, has
1. Informed the guard captain of what they're doing
2. Recruited the NPC cleric to back him up
3. Paid a hefty sum for the towns only newspaper to run a tell all story .
4. Gotten other good aligned NPC's to show up for support with the promise to help if it comes to lethal violence
The cleric is now in a very strong position to win. I'm trying to let this happen as non biasedly as I can but I've been telling the players that cavorting with undead is heavily frowned upon and straight up illegal in most places.
All the players are being good sports about the possibility of dying but I can already feel the "evil" party chimping out if they die.
Anyone got stories of PVP?
>>95838056Haven't they been in a relationship for a while?
>>95838097Romance in actual play with RP is cringe as fuck. I avoid making women NPC's mostly because I have a hornball player who keeps trying to fuck them.
>>95838100Oh boy, you're in for a treat when the main devil offers them a deal.
>>95838033Learn to read, retard.
>>95838125Yeah, I wonder if I should have made the the mummy demand a live child instead of just a "sentient creature". I don't even know what the mummy is going to do, maybe do some sort of hellish, month long organ harvesting?
I feel bad because I already planned for the mummy to betray them at the first sign of weakness but it might feel like a cop out now if it happens
>>95838043Alot of monstrous races were sanitized so they could become playable. Gnolls are le heckin good boys now instead of being ravenous hyenamen and Orcs are noble savages being the more obvious ones. Drow have been completely removed because they are "problematic" in multiple ways.
Golarion nations in general have been sanitized and fantasy africa is basically Wakanda now.

Fighter Cleric Wizard Rogue is the only way
>>95838179Uh oh. There's already another NPC down there who is trying to get a child from town.
>>95838114>Haven't they been in a relationship for a while?Kinda. The lore in PF1e was way more coy with the relationship, insinuating that the three women "enjoy each other's company" more than outright saying they're lovers. James Jacobs declared them in a lesbian threesome back in 2013 but people brushed it off as a horndog joke. I personally don't like it but I'm not going to throw a fit over it. Just one of those things you learn to accept. The fact they bothered to expand on Torag's role as "benign patriarch" of the Dwarven pantheon was very pleasant, everyone who is bitching that the game lacks solid male gods need to wake up on Torag.
>>95838224Kholo are still assholes in the Monster Core, even if they're not literal demons like their DnD counterparts. They have internally consistent reasons for acting the way they do, but that doesn't change the fact that for people outside their pack they come across as honorless cowards who raid settlements and caravans, use dirty tricks, and are liable to backstab their allies as soon as they're outlived their usefulness to the pack. PF2 tends to do a thing where the Player Core race depictions focus on the positive traits of the race, since most people don't want to play as a Chaotic Stupid asshole, but if the race primarily exist as antagonists their Monster Core entry gives a more negative depiction of them. The same applies to Goblins and Hobgoblins. Though Lizardmen are chill dudes in both PC2 and MC.
Orcs are noble savage stereotypes, though, but that's been a common orc description since Warcraft 3, so that's hardly new. And Drow got cut because Paizo purge all content that was part of the DnD SRD when WotC announced they were going to change their licensing. The same reason why chromatic and metallic dragons no longer exist, the cosmology got altered to be less of a carbon copy of DnD, and a lot of classic spells were renamed.
>>95838320Couldn't be more obvious this sad sack is just baiting for replies using vague terms like "problematic" to incite uproar over paizos perceived wokeness, ignores any development towards the current standard fantasy tropes and assigns it all to paizo, and makes sweeping generalisms about places like "fantasy africa", when that still includes the pirates treasure islands and more.

>>95838320>And Drow got cut because Paizo purge all content that was part of the DnD SRDIt was an excuse they were happy to jump on. They desperately wanted to "move forward and leave this awful shit behind"
>>95837885>just make the game yourself!Remember when we laughed at 5egroids for saying this shit?
>>95838463Do you understand just how unfathomably easy it is to change an NPC's pronouns? Their character art? It's such a nonissue that I've personally ran Alder Foxglove with three very different personalities the three times I ran Burnt Offerings, and one of those times was a shitpost.

>>95838459Paizo drown were shitty knockoffs of Faerun drow. They don't got nearly the same. Honestly, the remaster clean sweep was needed but they should have done it after the edition switch. I just want a campaign where I can be a hell knight and serve my queen
>>95838567>Breaking News>Anon learns that being a GM requires a bit of work
>>95838623Hey, wasn't part of the PF2 shill program that it was "so easy to run" and "so little stress and effort for the GM"?
What happened to that, huh, shill?
>>95838649NTA but what are you on about? How is changing an NPC's identity that hard?
A samurai isn't really class and ninja in 1e was just a shitty rogue mage.
The only thing you can't do right now is have ia Strikes since there's no feats or such that require you to sheath to proc something. Would be cool though
>>95838459They probably could have just retooled the drow to be less "problematic" (even WotC did that, by retconning drow to just be the generic term for underground elves, with the chaotic stupid asshats we all know and love being just one specific drow culture, with other kinds of drow being neutral or good. It's just that the only drow people care about are the original evil ones, so most people forget that there technically are now other kinds of drow as well). They did to some extend to this with their not-duergar, who are still evil assholes but now have indentured servants instead of the same (which is basically the same thing, but legal). I assume the reason duergar could be renamed and slightly retooled but drow were cut entirely is because evil underground dark-skinned elves is a concept so heavily associated with DnD's drow that even if they renamed them and altered their society WotC's lawyers would still be able to argue that they're violating their copyright. Duergar on the other hand aren't so iconic that Paizo wouldn't be able to claim that their evil underground grey-skinned dwarves are merely similar but legally distinct. The fact that they more or less replaced the drow with serpentfolk, which fulfill the same role of scheming, backstabbing, always-evil underground civilization, while being in public domain supports that notion.
>>95838320All lore added ad-hoc in 2e to soften them and why monstrous races should of never been playable. In 1e Gnolls were all tribes of cannibals and slavers, Orcs were fucking murder apes from underground and goblins were regional pests who had a need to eat and burn things.
>Drow got cut because Paizo purge all content that was part of the DnD SRDNo they didnt. James Jacobs admitted the real reason was because of the "problematic" past. They could of easily just called them dark elves and gave them a slight lore change like they did with the dragons. Instead we got a retarded retcon that they were instead snakepeople (who are just as problematic as the drow but danger hairs dont care so its kosher)
>>95838399>>95838446Nigga, stop replying to yourself. Its embarrassing.
>>95839047The only samefag here is the russian posting reddit 3 u huahe.png and complaining about woke modern audiences. You will reinstate PACG to the OP or I will continue to whine and bitch about your faggot anti-woke posts you fucking snake
Old pathfinder drow were an edgy answer to how FR had been filing the edges off of them; paizo wanted then to be close to how they were portrayed in d&d before. Paizo were shifting away from the edge so remastering them would have probably meant filing the edges off and creating an identity for them that nobody would have given a fuck about because it's nobody's idea of drow.
They were in a position where keeping them as they were would have been at odds with the goals of the remaster but changing them would have pleased absolutely nobody, cutting them entirely was the correct decision.
for me it's

2e
even if i poached Tactical reflexes from fighter then readying a strike on something like a monk would still be a net loss right? I was thinking samurai-like nonfighter fighting more defensively, something in lines of
>get closeish to enemy+ready a strike
>flurry of blows with monastic weapon+ready on next turn
>use both Stand Still or RS+readied strike
>adjust striking+manouvers as needed
ive been on vagabond binge and like the circle autism he gets into later on
I hope the falling bell gets a shout out in Revenge of the Runelords, I wonder what happened to that guy
>>95839191ready a strike is generally pretty fucking worthless
even if you've got the brace property on a weapon it's two actions and an action that you might not even get to take
it's only good in very specific circumstances
>>95839047I don't see making races less one-dimensional as being inherently bad. DnD 5e and PF2 Gnolls/Kholo are both a different take on expanding their established lore of them being cannibalistic raiders, but go about it in a different way.
DnD Gnolls are literal demons that are born by bursting out of a body of a hyena that has eaten human flesh, and exist purely to murder and devour.
PF2 Kholo are a race with a tribal society that has a very strong "us vs them" mentality, valuing their own lives but not considering the lives of outsiders to be of any worth. That means they have no qualms about killing and stealing from outsiders, and will seek to limit their own casualties by always stacking the odds in their favor. They also practice ritual cannibalism, devouring the corpses of the fallen to gain their strength.
Both takes seek to explain why the race is known as cannibalistic murderes, but follow different schools of worldbuilding. DnD Gnolls are an example of the "dude, that's metal!" school of worldbuilding that cares more about things being cool than being realistic. It justifies Gnolls gnolls being known as murderous cannibals by making them literal demons that only exist to murder and cannibalize. The PF2 version is an example of a school of worldbuilding that seeks to create realistic societies for its fantasy races. Their Gnolls are a mortal race that has a functional tribal society, but their disregard for lives of outsiders and their religious rites means outsiders know them as murderous cannibals.
Neither is a wrong way to do worldbuilding, they just have different goals and priorities.

>>95839261I prefer having monstrous races be monstrous. Not every villain you fight needs complex motivations and we are now dwindling on that front with three quarter of them suddenly getting face turns. It is all preference and i respect your argument anon. I was mainly pushing back on the "they were always like that" narrative because they certainly were not in 1e.
Monk shouldn't even need to pay a feat for monastic weapon, it should just be a default proficiency. If shields are free to use on the class, swinging a sword or stick shouldn't cost extra when it's much more thematically appropriate.
>>95839480Yeah, maybe they should reverse it. Make shields take a feat but weapons come by default
>>95839480for me it's honestly ki spells
why the fuck would you play a monk and not take ki spells
but you need either a stance or monastic weaponry to be worth playing too
level 1 monks should just have no level 1 feat choice baked in and instead have
>Monastic TrainingYou have taken the first steps on your journey to martial mastery with the help of a teacher, monastery, or studying ancient scripture. Choose and gain 1 Stance feat or Monastic Weaponry that represents the culmination of your study (that you've fucking done because you're a monk and monk players should have to think about why their character is a monk).
Then choose 1 of the following:
>Mastery of the SoulYou immediately gain the Qi Spells feat and an extra Focus point.
>Mastery of the BodyYou automatically gain feats associated with the stance you chose from Monastic Training as they become available to your level.
>>95832545>>95839480Screw it, anything is better than what is happening today. Can't even keep track of it all.
Honestly, agreed. If Rogues can discard stupid weapon limitations, might as well just go all in. Monastic Weaponry can either be kept for Crit Specialization purposes, and Ancestral Weaponry can help expand the number of "Monk" weapons, but otherwise I think having a for Monk to use all the Monk weapons is just goofy at this point.

>Mastery of the BodyYou automatically gain feats associated with the stance you chose from Monastic Training as they become available to your level. If you chose Monastic Weapons, you can treat any weapon as if it had the Monk property.
>>95839047>No they didnt. James Jacobs admitted the real reason was because of the "problematic" past.Gonna have to ask for a source on this one boss because I have never seen this.
>>95839588A simpler solution is giving Monk something like Combat Flexibility. Just some extra feats. Fighter not only gets to be the best hitter and weapon master, he gets to have more versatility. That also makes it much easier for a Fighter to pick up an archetype without FA. This is something you can argue should also apply to other martials.
>>95839589you don't even need ancestral weaponry anymore, it's baked into post-remaster monastic weaponry

rare good change
>>95839622>any weapondangit. that one might actually be a mess. but I guess it's not really that big an issue if a monk's using a big d12 maul since it'll never be agile or finesse and you couldn't use it with mountain stance anyway
still seems way worse than Body growing into 2-3 other free feats down the line
>>95839690not really sure how a feat you can change around is simpler than just either getting two feats at 1st level, or getting 1 feat at 1st level and growing into more feats
versatility would be cool but I feel like monks having their signature mastered stance is aesthetically important, and that would also leave feat chains high and dry
being a master of all stances would just be weird
>>95839588>why the fuck would you play a monk and not take ki spellsOn top of the general idea that Focus Spells are a feat investment, Monk and ki always had a weird relationship in D&Dclones. While I can't imagine it is a large group, I can see some people not really appreciating the "magical breathing power" still being a core part of a class based around physical self improvement and absconding worldliness. It's a similar oddness to Druids being against Metal, it is a core part of nature and is incorrectly associating two aspects together:
>Nature is life, things that aren't life aren't nature>Man makes metal and steel into tools and un-life things>so metal is the problem.Combine this with Monk needing to swallow all Martial Artist ideas from the Bruce Lee Kung Fu Flick to Ninjas t Ancient Wu Tang Mystical Hidden Clan, I see why they just put it in the players hands to determine what a Monk is to them.
just fucking remove the monk trait
it doesn't need to be a separate thing that requires constant support
if monks really, really need a limitation on what weapons they are allowed to use (they don't), then change the monk trait to only be used on weapons that are neither agile or finesse, function as "monks treat this weapon as if it were agile+finesse", and give them the same limitations that sneak attack has
>>95839803that's a fair assessment of "why" and one I wasn't ignoring. bruce lee is also cool
it's just, for me, I wouldn't play a monk without them because they're fun
ki spells are still optional with the design I posted. a no ki spells monk gets automatic feats associated with their chosen stance, and a ki spells monk gets ki spells and more ki spells
my issue is primarily just that monk without natural ambition just feels like shit
you could still nat amb into another level 1 pick if you want too, and I think baking more things into unpoachable features helps secure classes as the best at the thing they do
that said it's just a shitbrew so I'm not going to pretend I've Fixed Monk For Everyone, just fixed monk in a way I find most agreeable while attempting to elevate another class to the fighter/barbarian level
Just doing a sanity check here: Alchemical Power isn't great for somebody who's multiclassing alchemist for poisons, is it? Unless you happen to be an intelligence character like a Mastermind rogue or investigator or something. The combination of never getting above Expert in your alchemist DC and having it be int-based means that your alchemist DC is low enough that you'll almost always be crafting poisons with Advanced Alchemy that have higher DCs than you could give them with Alchemical Power. I guess it'd allow you to buy dirt-cheap low-level injury poisons and give them a semi-competitive save DC, but low-level injury poisons are going to do low-level damage, the save isn't likely to be failed by on-level enemies anyway, and even super low-level poisons are expensive enough to add up if you buy too many of them (e.g. the level 4 Essence of Mandragora, the lowest-level way to reliably apply Stupefied, is still 20gp a pop).
It feels weird to skip it but I honestly don't see a reason to grab it.
>>95840095>I guess it'd allow you to buy dirt-cheap low-level injury poisons and give them a semi-competitive save DCActually no you can't even do that, I totally missed the part about it only applying to Infused poisons you create. Yeah I'm not seeing the utility.
>>95840095by the level you can take it you can still get into situations where bombs variable damage can be handy or your gm spams very specific mob type like troops or worms that walk
>>95838568>I just want a campaign where I can be a hell knight and serve my queenIf anything we're getting another Evil vs Evil AP

>>95840190A Chelaix AP where you have to put down civil unrest and gradually uncover an international conspiracy of multiple countries trying to stabilize you, thwart an assassination attempt against the queen and return order to your homeland would probably be too politically hot to do right?

Solarian
https://www.aonsrd.com/Classes.aspx?ItemName=Solarian
The major feature of the class is attunement. Its the bullshit powers that only work in combat for the class.
On your first turn in combat, you decide to be either photon or graviton attuned and gain a point in that attunement. On your 3rd turn in combat, you can use one of your zenith attunements. Usual mode to choose is Photon since it increases your damage. On your 3rd turn, you can use the Supernova zenith revelation.
https://www.aonsrd.com/StellarRevelations.aspx?ItemName=Supernova
>When youโre fully photon-attuned...
>>95840359Then here comes Paizo with this shit
>Attunement Surge (Enhanced, Su) - 2nd Level>While you have 2 attunement points in a stellar mode, you can expend 2 attunement points on your turn without spending an action to gain two effects until the beginning of your next turn. First, you gain benefits from that modeโs stellar revelations as though you were fully attuned, rather than attuned. Second, you gain a benefit based on which mode you are attuned to.>First, you gain benefits from that modeโs stellar revelations as though you were fully attuned, rather than attuned.>Plasma Sheath>As a move action, you can cause all of your melee attacks to deal fire damage instead of their normal damage type. (The attacks are still made against the targetโs EAC or KAC as normal for the weapon.) This benefit lasts for 1 round or until you leave photon mode.>This benefit lasts for 1 round or until you leave photon mode.Two major problems for Solarians.
1. Playing the waiting game
Combat goes very quickly in Starfinder and you often end up with scenarios where you can finally use one of your zeniths, but there is only one or two badly weakened enemies left. Or the few times when you don't get enough time.
2. Cost-Benefits
Many revelations cost actions to turn on. Plasma Sheath, Dark Matter, and many other revelations have the text
>This benefit lasts for 1 round or until you leave photon/graviton mode.Plasma Sheath takes a move action to start, so does Dark Matter. Corona takes your standard to activate. Once you turn these one, you don't want to have to do it again. But you will if you spend your attunement to activate a zenith because all the zeniths have...
>...After you use this revelation, you immediately become unattuned.

>>95840542You're the one who came in here to cry about consooming shitty media. We don't care if you choose to spend your time poorly.
>>95840569Yet you are here pissing and shitting about a conversation that finished 2 hours ago.
>>95840477Sorry. I just don't buy into the propaganda that the greedy parasites destroying our world are particularly interesting or complex or tragic or whatever. Evil people are actually just kind of boring in real life and more media should show off how mundane and banal being an evil piece of shit actually is.
>>95840613Hilarious what gets a rise out of you
>>95840620The banality of evil is a construction worker filling in a skate park with cement because he was ordered by the government to do so in order to dissuade gatherings during lockdown. Or the fellow shopper at a mall telling you to put on your mask - politely, but directly.
>>95840620Sounds like you know exactly what you want to watch/read. And more importantly, which kinds of games to run. Why just randomly pipe up about the things you don't want to watch/read?
>more media shouldIf things could be right like this, objectively awful crap like gacha, vtubers and anime wouldn't exist. But that's not happening.
>>95840567If it was a second person, he'd just reply to the first
>>95840679well you see, as the first person, I replied to the second person
>>95840644To me banal evil is something like your entire town of 15,000 existing only to deport and jail people. The people that live there only exist to continue that system and are "just following orders" and "need a job" so the prison and deportations need to continue to validate their existence. Not some woman moment picrel
>>95840668Why are you tone policing people's opinions anon? If you disagree with them then just say you disagree instead of this weaselly form of argumentation.
>>95840771he's an anime hater
The best character you can pplay in the average 2e party is the 8hp medium armor caster with athletics investment. Grapple and trip shit instead of pissing around with cantrips, rotate out and heal or cast whatever when needed or if you're getting your ass beat. Special shoutouts to warpriest and animist. Bards that pick the proficiency up at level 1 are good. I don't understand why anyone would play a druid but if you're going to play one, this is the way to do it.
>>95840786pissing around with actions that don't end the combat faster just makes hour-and-a-half-long slogfest combats into 2-hour-long slogfest combats
the best character to play is either a d10 reach fighter or a d12 fighter or barbarian. especially at level 1 since with a d10 or d12 the vast majority of your die faces kill mooks in one hit
get the combat shit over with as fast as possible so we can get back to the real game (exploration planning and decision making)
>>95840803Please understand that a prone enemy is eating shit to the barb+fighter when they stand up and a prone+grabbed/restrained enemy is going to have a miserable and swift turn

>>95841018It's always funny how much the LGBT+ community have such a love-hate relationship with pride month. The commies hate the commercialization of it but they cannot stand the lack of attention. Given how much...it is the point of Pride Month.
>>95841050>Gay people hate pride month but they canโt get enough of it eitherThatโs why pride is a sin, anon. Arguably the worst sin. It turns you into a demented, self-centered attention whore who thinks any moment not devoted to praising your greatness is a secret slight by โthe haters.โ
>>95841050I am not part of the faggot community
having a month goes beyond my "keep your degeneracy to yourself and I don't care" personal policy
the foundation of this entire country is celebrated for one single day

>>95841606I 5-foot step and full attack the Jade Regent. I end my turn.
>>95840998>>95841018>>95841050One thing that annoys me to no end about these types is how they won't flinch at the several murders their characters commit (whether justified or not) but saying some bad guy grabbed a bartender's titty or you use the wrong pronoun to address a man clearly larping as a crude mockery of the female form is over their line
>>95841820> but saying some bad guy grabbed a bartender's titty>you use the wrong pronoun to address a man clearly larping as a crude mockery of the female form is over their lineNot to go full full /pol/-lack, but I do think there's actually a pretty big difference in reaction between the two and is somewhat relevant to current events . I think it says something the image they focus on isn't a gay or lesbian couple, but the boys crossdressing and being trans and nonbinary. Trans (and drag) culture have overtaken the other 75% of the acronym, and that leads to some oddities in this month. You say the obvious pronoun joke, but what exactly does that have to do with gay pride?
I really do have an issue with how trans pride have overtaken actual sexuality discussions. It is stuff like the story just pushing aside the actual lesbian couple for...whatever the hell the boys + brainrotten cat are doing. It feels a lot like what if MGTOW/incel pride was liberal, and why this stuff have gotten so loud over the years.
>>95841469>besides the FUCKING taoists who are ALWAYS the ones causing problemsNow, now. Sometimes it is the Buddhists and their big-tiddy leader.
...but yes, it is mainly the Taoists doing shit.
>>95842024What do you mean?
I'm trying to say that if you're gonna murder a tavern owner with no second thoughts because he was a minor inconvenience, then shit bricks because a bad guy was portrayed doing a bad thing, or because nobody is going to address a man who looks like a man and acts like a man as if he were female, you're retarded.
Honestly, I don't even mind drag when it's done tastefully, but the hairy overweight men who throw on a wig and bad makeup disgust Me. Anyway, I don't really see how that, or anything about lesbians, really relates to the case I'm making? I'm saying a lot of gay people across the board are super sensitive in what feels like ways that are completely misguided and wrong (ex. them killing aforementioned bartender NPC is nothing, but they'll fly off the handle at even light SA from a villainous character)
>>95842139Pardon, don't think I made the connection all that clear. Not great at schizo-posting. Least wanted to keep it Pathfinder related instead of just treating this as Twitter/leddit.
I was trying to say that super sensitivity is more the trans side of the groups than the whole. If "vocal minority" was in the dictionary, they would be the definition. Granted, the sexual assault idea is more general lefty talk speaking, but the specific pronoun deal is specific to them yet loud as hell. Hence my point, so much of gay discussion is overwritten by the fact trans people exist and refuse to step aside. Because they are tangentially gay.
This isn't really an interesting point to be making here, so wouldn't continue much. But I do think the specific issue of "what is or isn't worthy of 'X-carding' or flipping the table over" has a more specific target.
>>95839779>being a master of all stances would just be weirdTbh that fits my class fantasy for monk way more. I'd love to play a stance dancing monk if that playstyle weren't shit in this game
>>95841110Most countries celebrate their independence for just one day you retard. You don't declare independence over the course of a month.
>>95842748yes
so why do we celebrate fag pride for an entire month when it's an infinitesimally smaller thing worth celebrating compared to the foundation of a country
>>95842794>so why do we celebrate fag pride for an entire month when it's an infinitesimally smaller thing worth celebrating compared to the foundation of a countryCities can get money from people wanting to do parades.

>>95842212Yeah I'll stand with you on that. Admittedly, you don't hear it much from typical lesbians, gays, etc.. I just find that queers tend to have seemingly inconsistent applications of morality when it comes to TTRPGs.
My gunslinger player is about to run out of ammo and they are three levels deep into a dungeon. Do I be nice and have a random body in the dungeon have rounds or do I say fuck him?
>>95842794because it is an event that happened on a single day?? the founding fathers didn't spend an entire month signing a piece of paper. if you want a patriots month thats happens in May to celebrate the military.
>>95843426Put an enemy gunslinger in who's ammo he can steal. Bonus points if it's a standard dungeon monster like a troll or gelatinous cube or some shit.
>>95843426if you're tracking ammo he should have known to be prepared, and you should make it matter
does it suck? sorta, yeah. but if you're tracking ammunition he should have expected it to suck and he should be aware of his resources
it's ok to fail, hit walls, need to retreat, etcetera. let players be wrong about things. you aren't making decisions if there are no wrong decisions (like stocking up on ammo before a deep excursion)
if you don't want that, then just say "ok fuck ammo actually" and go forward with that. that's also fine. but if you've used a mechanic and WANT to use that mechanic, it should actually matter. if there's no logical reason for there to be another gunslinger down there (given the rarity of gunslingers) then don't bend the perceived reality for his sake. he'll know, the experience will be cheapened, and his investment in the perceived reality of your setting will be damaged. "the GM put this here because I needed it or worse, because I wanted it" is a terrible feeling
"I've decided to stop tracking ammo, it's not fun" is a far cry from that and applies globally rather than feeling like you're being babied by a fake god
>>95843519please explain the steps you took to make the assumption that I want to celebrate the forming of a country for a month because we celebrate fags for a month
the fact that there's pride MONTH and independence/whatever DAY, and that I specifically chose to say "we celebrate this for one day" should indicate to you that we could, at most, have Faggot Day. I wouldn't give a fuck about Faggot Day. but Faggot Month is ridiculous. who the fuck thinks a small portion of a population is more worth celebrating than the population of an entire country? besides a few million consoomers and degens, I guess
a month is longer than other holidays that humans have celebrated for centuries, millenia even, for fuck's sake. even some of the longest-lasting RELIGIOUS events are one week, maybe two

I myself just bumped the AC bonus for outwit to +2 that jumps to +4 at 17th to emphasise you are the defensive ranger.
I rolled all the circumstance bonuses spread through all the monster feats into the level 1 feat and made monster warden the "Survival for all RK rolls" feat because i want other classes to spend a few resources to get hold of it. Master Monster Hunter bumps the bonus to +2 and Legendary Monster Hunter gives them a weakness to your damage similar to Thaum.

It is more than valid to point out just how whacko this shit is, especially when they aren't even focusing on the LGB-parts of Pride.
