Am I the only one who thinks it unlikely that most PCs will be able to make a DC 25 Intimidate, Bluff and Diplomacy check? Any level 10 Pathfinder vanilla Bard will succeed. At that level, they have 3 Versatile Performances, that's 6 skills they roll with Perform. And since there aren't that many s...

Dwarves represent the working classes : they are strong, dirty, they drink beer, and they work. As a working character, they are defined by their occupation : no one care if his plumber likes pizzas or burritos, what's important is that he's a plumber. Elves represent aristocracy. As such, no one ca...

I have a friend who played it. 1/ They discovered who was the BBEG at the beginning of each module. But they wren'nt high level enough, so they had to grind sidequest they didn't care about. 2/ Regurlarly, they unlocked a new part of the map with higher level-monsters. It's not a ttrpg module, it's ...

This is, indeed, how I interpreted the "honestly, I'm glad for it" in the paizil's post I quoted. And this is why I find this quote awesome: to see a fanboy's mind transforming some obvious flaws into features is quite fascinating.

I've read this awesome though on the Paizo's forum : By the rules of PF2, there is basically no benefit to attempting to surprise someone. And honestly, I'm glad for it.

Pregen characters are often really really bad. They are often created while the rules are in flux, and even when they are penned after the rules have cooled and congealed they are written by people who remember alternate proposals for the rules. Making rules errors under those circumstances is very...

It seems there've corrected the pregen characters - now they follow the bulk rules. It seems there was two layers of errors in the bulk values - the values given in the crb were wrong (there's an errata), and the computation on each pregen was wrong. And people on the official forum are still arguin...

In Pathfinder, any craft takes (at least) 4 days. I guess baking a cake or cooking a meal is some kind of craft (since it doesn't seem there's anything else which could handle baking or cooking). Hence it takes 4 days to bake a cake or to prepare a coffee. In the other hand, any craft takes 4 days i...

Can I handle my pc the same way?

"I play an awesome gunslinger with a gun which can destroy any protection. I don't have a statblock since it would allow you to challenge my character - you can simply assume I succeed any roll, I'm never hit and my weapon bypass any defense."

monster maths is a bit fixed. More precisely: monsters have randomly gained +1 in some stuff and -1 in other stuff - those changes are so random, it's as if the monsters were never playtested (since they don't have the same number as the playtest one at all). In the other hand, PCs get +2 (or more)...

OK, it seems you have the same rule mastery as any paizil. At least, you're not posting on an official paizo forum. The concentrate trait doesn't trigger AoO.

The witch get the "cackle" special action. This action is the same as the "sustain a spell" action, except: 1/ it does not have the "concentrate" tag. 2/ it has the "sonic" and the "auditory" traits. 3/ it suffer the same penalty as the one given by ...

I looked at the oracle. Instead of focus spells, he has some "special" spells/powers that are quite weak for their level. eg, a level 6 life oracle can pay a feat to get a poor's man's version of Lifelink (the level 2 spell from D&D 3) (with a duration of 1 minutes, and instead of divi...

Monster creation rules are out. I haven't read them yet. It's only two months late - some genius thoughts underwater combat rules were more important than monster and NPC creation rules in the CRB.

In first edition, when it was your turn to act in combat, you had a complicated menu of options, between move actions, standard actions, free actions, swift actions, and on and on. Maybe it's because I started with games where that's already a thing, but is it really hard to keep track of "the...

Re: Cleverest game mechanics in your opinion?

During his turn, a character can make as many action as he wants . Every action past the third one increases the defense of the opponents. So the optimal number of action is 3 , but you're never blocked because "with one more action, I could do this awesome combo and it would be awesome":...

Better yet - just assume they are two different NPC.

Why even bother. Just give him a bad-guy-only emergency teleport ability and be done with it at that point, if you want to be transparent.
