2024-05-31, 02:56 PMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder 2e - How does it compare to other systems? in Roleplaying GamesNo it's not. Source: https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=2638 And before that you wrote that an average save is +8 when it's actually quite a...112 replies | 7389 view(s)

2024-05-31, 01:57 PMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder 2e - How does it compare to other systems? in Roleplaying GamesActually, now would be a good time to point out how PF2's monster identification rules work.

2024-05-31, 01:45 PMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder 2e - How does it compare to other systems? in Roleplaying GamesYes, because that is actually the normal situation. You're making my case for me :smallcool:112 replies | 7389 view(s)

2024-05-31, 12:48 PMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder 2e - How does it compare to other systems? in Roleplaying GamesA casual glance over Aonprd shows that the average weakest save of a L6 monster is +12, not +8. If your aim is to make PF2's spells seem not quite...112 replies | 7389 view(s)

2024-05-31, 11:31 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder 2e - How does it compare to other systems? in Roleplaying GamesWhy would you assume that? That doesn't strike me as a common situation.112 replies | 7389 view(s)

2024-05-31, 02:36 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder 2e - How does it compare to other systems? in Roleplaying GamesAssumed by you, perhaps; but the facts are well known that WOTC rather hastily abandoned 4E (quietly dropping numerous planned books) and took an...112 replies | 7389 view(s)

2024-05-30, 07:42 PMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder 2e - How does it compare to other systems? in Roleplaying GamesThat's because the problem with PF2 is not "magic is weaker than in 3E", but that "magic is so weak that it's not worth using (tactically speaking)...112 replies | 7389 view(s)

2024-05-29, 05:17 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder 2e - How does it compare to other systems? in Roleplaying GamesNah. People dislike PF2 because it spends a lot of word count on mechanically fiddly things that in practice don't make a difference, AND because it...112 replies | 7389 view(s)

2024-05-17, 03:44 PMKurald Galain replied to a thread Speculation More 2024 PHB Revelations from the GameInformer Article in D&D 5e/NextHalf-elves exist because they're a big deal in Tolkien (althought they're a big deal specifically because there's only a handful of them).

2024-05-17, 07:24 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Speculation More 2024 PHB Revelations from the GameInformer Article in D&D 5e/NextLOL, that reminds me of way back when WOTC decided to remove gnomes from the PHB for 4E, and had this advertisement like "hey, you know how gnomes...73 replies | 7316 view(s)

2024-05-17, 01:24 AMYes, I think 2E at its height was supporting about ten settings all at the same time. ...and the downside of this is that you end up competing...67 replies | 6802 view(s)

2024-05-17, 01:21 AMDefinitely Fighter. It's also one of the strongest defenders period, and funnily it can mark on an OA (so if your OA target misbehaves, he eats a...3 replies | 319 view(s)

2024-05-16, 02:15 AMArcanist (or Exploiter Wizard) gets an exploit that does that. PF's Conjurer can do it too (teleportation subschool) but that requires a higher level...21 replies | 2083 view(s)

2024-05-15, 10:27 AMTo be fair, the popular public campaign settings for both 4E and 5E (and for that matter 2E) are explicitly the Forgotten Realms. As opposed to...67 replies | 6802 view(s)

2024-05-15, 03:36 AMI'm not sure what RPG you're playing, but if the RPG's mechanics are functional then this should be resolved by itself. Like, if the player is about...20 replies | 1487 view(s)

2024-05-15, 03:28 AMI'd say the FR has waaay too much lore and this is a barrier to entry; and in addition FR suffers from being rather unoriginal due to its "everything...67 replies | 6802 view(s)

2024-05-15, 01:54 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Backporting/Sideporting Rules - what do you do? in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20My favorite is inspiration (or hero points, or whatever you want to call them) that give you a reroll. In fact I've been using those well before 5E...37 replies | 2163 view(s)

2024-05-15, 01:41 AMThat's because PF has different rules for traits. Specifically, they give a minor bonus and that's it; whereas these traits from Fallout give a...21 replies | 1485 view(s)

2024-05-13, 02:50 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Exploration and social - the two pillars that have no mechanics in D&D 5e/NextNo, it's really not. 5E is at the same time too rules-heavy (with its long lists of classes and feats and spells) and too rules-sparse for dealing...146 replies | 8972 view(s)

2024-05-11, 07:52 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Exploration and social - the two pillars that have no mechanics in D&D 5e/NextThere is a wide gap between "having no mechanics" (which is a bad thing) and "being gamified" (which is also a bad thing).

2024-05-10, 04:17 PMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder The grand return: Building a PF1e encounter in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20One thing about PF1 goblins is that they absolutely and violently loathe writing. That makes them much more likely to be sorcerers rather than...9 replies | 967 view(s)

2024-05-10, 08:59 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder 2e - How does it compare to other systems? in Roleplaying GamesNo, there is a very fundamental difference between "debuffs" and "CC". You might as well claim that PF2 has CC because it redefines CC to mean...112 replies | 7389 view(s)

2024-05-10, 05:56 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder 2e - How does it compare to other systems? in Roleplaying GamesI disagree. 4E has far more diversity in both build options and tactics, to the point where 4E has a dedicated character role for crowd control, and...112 replies | 7389 view(s)
