I know GW shills are gonna be mad after reading this, but... when did you realize that busy, overdesigned models are NOT fun to paint and that miniature design peaked 20 years ago?
it only bothers me when it's the basic footsloggersalso designs 20 years ago were busy as fuck too as much as fakegrogs like to pretend otherwise
Painting the rogal dorn tank was no fun for me because of all the details, also meant there was no room for decals. Felt very restrictive.
>>97393423as someone starting out i feel like the heavily trimmed and detailed models make it more difficult to learn the basics like blending and volumetric highlighting because every surface is broken up and the small details don't leave enough room for a beginner to grow beyond a simple shade&highlight. i like the plain primaris marines for this reason, lots of large simple surfaces for me to practice the basics. i'm building a rather plain contemptor dreadnought for that same reason.
>>97393689>also meant there was no room for decals.Are you decalfag? Looking at GW's paintjobs that's eight decals for the one without track guards, and ten for the one with. And that's assuming they masked and painted the kill markings on the barrel, otherwise that's another one to three decals. That's a ton of decals fora tank.
>>97393423>miniature design peaked 20 years agoMore like 40

>>97397538Cool if you lean into it, being "the guy with the bow" is fun. But as a serious alternative to guns? Not a fan. I file it under 'Gimmick' like the guy who only uses swords, or fists, or explosives, or poison, etc. But you could hypothetically strap any sci-fi gadget to an arrow and do something cool with it. Just off the top of my head:>Microphone arrow, listen in to target from afar>Sensor arrow, get HUD info on the room it's in>Explosive arrow, obviously>Poison gas grenade arrow>Strobe arrowBasically anything you can pack into a fistful you can design into an arrow, or sometimes duct tape onto it.

A one party authoritarian dicatorship. >Archaelogists sometimes hire islamic nomad groups to escort them into radioactive hot zones like Baghdad>They intend to salvage historical artifacts thought lost in the meltdown.>Dubai formerly a city of luxury is buried by sands but still inhabited by survivors, driven to religious madness by the meltdown. >Kuwait once oil rich, is now impoverished with the world having switched to Chooh2 for fuel.

>>97398802Expending even one action of a monsters' is a massive boost to your survivability. Many monsters contain abilities like Grab, Trip, Swallow Whole, Rend, different powers that can cost an action or two. Action denial is a core part of 2e's combat meta and skirmishers like Rogue, Monk, and Swashbuckler all love to waste actions forcing monsters to chase them.As for Tripping, when timed well and combo'd with other powers like Reactive Strike, it can leave them in such a massive state of disadvantage. Being Proned means you are Off-Guard so you take -2 to your AC, which is not only +10% to your hit rate, but +10% to your crit rate thanks to Degrees of Success. The more you play 2e the more you learn how important crowd control is to winning fights decisively.>>97398850As for Bow Fighters, it's pretty clear what feats you are meant to grab and how they add to a ranged playstyle. Double Shot, Point-Blank Shot, Parting Shot, you really can't miss what you need to do. You gonna be turrety by design, but there's plenty you can do and add to your fight rotation. As for additional actions, it would depend on your skill selection, look into Demoralize, Battle Medicine, Create a Diversion, or Hide/Take Cover for the basics. And then you can look into stuff like consumables and magic/alchemical arrows
>>97398850So if you want combat to be more dynamic, a ranged dps is probably the worst choice. That isn't to say there aren't interesting ranged dps, but Fighter will do exactly what you want to avoid. Ranger is worse than Fighter, but you have more interesting things to do by default with focus spells and potentially an animal companion. I'd look into Investigator too, they get to pre roll their attack for the turn to see if you hit or miss. If you roll bad, you figure something else out to do with your actions, which can just be shooting someone else. In that case, you want to build your character with a caster archetype, or something that doesn't require attack rolls to rely on as a backup. As for generic actions to do outside of attacking, Demoralize is an easy and useful one if you go into the Intimidation skill. You can also go Medicine to heal yourself and other people in battle. There are a lot of options like you said, so it could help narrow it down if you have an idea of who your character is outside of being a ranged dps. Like is he a shit talker, or a prepared calculating type?
I take a certain degree of pride in this build specifically, if only because I think it really goes to show the strengths of PF1e as a system that I could take the concept of a Vtuber whose whole "thing" is basically about being (somehow safely) irradiated and that the system has a way for me to mechanically represent that without just being like "yep, she's radioactive, and will die from it in the next 5 minutes".The only concession I had to make that's not accurate to her lore is that the class gives her the Earthbending, which is why I went out of my way to build it in a "she has it but doesn't use it because she doesn't understand it" kind of way.
>>97337531>rerelease Dark Archivehttps://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder2e/comments/1qgpug1/dark_archive_was_sent_in_error_to_some_people/Remastered Dark Archive. Psychic is still bad. Imaginary Weapon downgraded, Psychic Dedication also downgraded; maguses are out of luck yet again.
>>97398850>>97398970I really do not see a reason to bother with Double Shot as a bow fighter. You might as well put the feat towards something more immediately useful, like an archetype feat.

>>97399201It's a lot like Apocalypse World in the way that the spin-offs and hacks and 3rd party content is exponentially better than the original game ever was... but also a lot like PBTA games in that most of them are not especially good with a few exceptions.
