What the fuck is up with Benko players online? I play the Half-Accepted variation where instead of accepting the second pawn you go e3 instead. I have heard that this can be a bit annoying to Benko players - well fucking tough. But it's like they make every move in like 1-3 seconds and end the game usually with 2 minutes on the clock. Is it supposed to be some kind of intimidation? Is it they really hate the e3 variation? Do they just know where they want to put their pieces immediately, even though I win more than Iose against this type of person? Is it that it's a bunch of kids playing the Benko? Like what is going on? I wish I could say I don't let it affect me but it is offputting, this feeling like there's someone on meth at the other end. First few moves obviously is fine, still in opening theory, but this relentless speed and aggressive play also, do they think they will end with 2 minutes on the clock and everyone will applaud at this magnificent player? It's just offputting. Chess is supposed to be a relaxing game. Genuinely curious if anyone knows anything about this. See a little of it in KID also.

What is the correct way to handle female priestess? Historically women weren't part of the clergy, so you don't have a lot of references to drawn from in regards to their attitude.
>>97254957Clergy in RPGs are usually Christian inspired, and there the presence of women in clergy was limited although not rare.>>97254979>If you want real world examples look at the ancient Greeks or ShintoWeren't ancient greek and shinto priestess glorified cheerleaders with no real power inside religion? What I want is a grounded interpretation for women to be part of the religious apparatus in the world without feeling forced or out of place. Basically a version of the Lady Knights but for clerics.
>>97254880there's only one way to handle them.
>>97254880>HistoricallyFuck does that have to do with running a game?
>>97254880>>97255022What's the plan here anon? I see you have plenty of images of priestesses prepared- no doubt drawn my proverbial mad artists for no rational man commands the power of imagination necessary to be able to envision a woman doing a job historically held by men in a fictional setting- I assume they are for follow-up posts for people you have baited with your moronic question?If you really can't even begin to conceptualise something so basic as "a female priest" then I suggest you get another hobby not based around one's imaginative capabilities (for yours are evidently close to zero) and perhaps speak to a doctor.Can you imagine what it would be like to have not have had breakfast this morning you simpleton?

>>97254576This one seems to be up against the strange problem of the definition of unique rather than being a common DCMS unit. IIRC Unique means "less than 5 functional units across the entire Inner Sphere", which most commonly will mean individual customs, but also some prototypes and development units.That said, as a MUL unit of basically a footnote, it might just be listed wrong. That said I probably wouldn't bust someone's balls if they wanted to take it in a lizard force.

Regarding life in the Imperium of Man, is there any way to have pleasant, comfy lifestyle, for your regular menial? Or do you need to be at least born noble? Looking for best storyline where somebody who could be happy and content gets their whole life torn down and has to suffer like your avarage underhive scum.
>>97254322I'm about to open some fucking windows.
>>97254504>Looking for best storyline where somebody who could be happy and content gets their whole life torn downOh that's easy. Have a planet be forgotten by Administratum for centuries then someone remembers they exist and demands all the overdue tithes with interest. The planet turns into an unlivable hell and your character takes whatever plot hook they can to escape that.

>Halflings to do the farming>Dwarves to do the smithing and mining>Gnomes to do the researching>Elves to do magic>Humans to do the fighting (and thus, the ruling)This seems the obvious perfect order to things. Humans don't want to be the peasant farmers, we want to be the knights and lords, but somebody has to farm, somebody has to smith, etc. Why not have the other races do the menial peasant stuff that they specialize in anyways?

What a retarded premise.
>>97251874So 80-90% of the population is halflings? Because that’s the percentage who are farmers. Makes more sense halflings are a servant class, as they are excellent cooks and gardeners, the hard work of plowing the fields is best left to men. Men can also be the warrior class, as hardy peasant boys are good stock to make soldiers.

>>97250864If the DCs on higher level monsters and how casters fail way too much (most of the time) are things that have been complained about since forever, it's not a question of "luck". Overall the math is designed to rather consistently screw over players and specifically casters.
>>97251022I just don't really enjoy that offensive caster gameplay when fighting higher level enemies is to basically waste a turn and a spell fishing for a 30% chance that your spell will actually do something besides mildly debuff an enemy for 1 turn or do nothing at all if they crit succeed.But this is why our usual GM likes PF2 more than PF1. He likes designing very challenging encounters and the idea of a player caster turning the tide of a difficult fight doesn't sit well with him.
>>97251022The equivalent situation, of a 9th-Level Witch vs. a 12th-Level Spellcaster, would not be that different in 1e. Even worse, as all arcane casters take a -4 penalty to the saving throw against Feeblemind. In a charitable situation, where the boss have no buffs and only 21 DC, vs. a Witch with Heroism and not using an arcane list and a +4 to WIS, still would be about a 65% chance of saving and not becoming a walking onahole (assuming no Spell Resistance)?I don't think you are wrong about the math being slanted towards the GM and this punishes casters. But normally this discussion is about FIGHTING the boss, not being hit by them. Especially someone that is supposed to be hard. If you don't like the game being hard, then ask the GM to tune down the foes numbers, slap the Weak tag and call it a day. Again, that DC32 is the HIGH, not *STANDARD* DC for a Level 12 creature anyway, it would be DC29 if it was moderate. So this is all an atypical scenario that any real math criticism wouldn't help.>>97251150I respect that stance, though I can say that using an Incap spell when you have a distinct advantage like that is still a dick move. Least with no real heads up in the dungeon, that curses and the like that can fuck you over are all ready.It is fair to not like PF2e for catering to that thinking, but you can at least tell him to knock it off, there are better challenges than making the caster permanently retarded.
I don't know if this is a 2e thing or just my group thing but it feels like I'm the only one with working brain cells and can understand tactics. If I have to miss a session, suddenly that session becomes super deadly. If anyone else misses, the session is fine. I do play a lot of martials so losing a frontline can hurt but i also play in groups of 5-6 pcs. So it shouldn't hurt to lose one frontline. We also mainly play APs so it's not like the GM is making deadly encounters. But even still, a lot of the time I am soloing half the encounters while the rest of the party is struggling with the other half. Now i'm wondering if this is a normal sight or is my group just outliers?
>>97255083>We also mainly play APs so it's not like the GM is making deadly encounterslol
Why are there so many threads that ask vague non-questions about obscure non-topics? Like half the OPs on here are some gay shit like >How do we fix the scrimblopunk genre?Or>How do you accurate portray glup shittos in your game?
>>97254875Same. At the end of the day, it legitimately doesn't matter whether or not the stories were fake, considering there's next to no way to verify whether they were real or not anyways. But I find the screeching about sharing stories over their "quality" just fucking sad. Especially since none of the people whining about how all the stories are fake have any "real" stories to share anyways, they just bitch and bitch and bitch.

Making some spells for fun. Do you guys think this is balanced for 7th level?
my players say they love my campaign but im fucking tired it just feels like im trying to do something and never quite getting there and i dont wanna prep or at least not games i wanna imagine something else making encounters plots etc or just restart the same campaign with new players to perfect it further but not have to deal with the actual game at the same time i just wanna improv and go with the flow and see where things land but these idiots always have the dumbest ideas too and there's clearly a "that guy" that I should kick but he has never really done anything wrong he's just cognitively limited and i also wanna read more inspiration material i have every single pathfinder pdf on my phone but then i never dodoes anyone know this feel is anyone actually happy being a dm? why do i suffer all this doubt for some crumbs of appreciation? im a pretend normie with a faang job no sleep no wife and on top of that i run 2 campaigns and it's the best and worst thing at the same timei guess my question is can dnd bring happiness? or am i just coping that im accomplishing something. i guess coming up with a cool encounter or npc or item idea is fun once in a while
>>97254605Hmm, need's a material component. Like the heart of a magma mephit or something like that.
>>97254798I'm incredibly happy as a DM. Conversely, I am also a player in another game and am unsatisfied with the DM in that game. I mostly just stay for the camraderie and all the bsing while not playing. But that's neither here nor there.In my experience, people's contentment is not the product of one thing, it's everything. Like Alan Watts once said, "The only zen you'll find at the top of a mountain is the zen you bring up there with you."Try working on yourself, irrespective of whether you continue your campaigns. Hit the gym, fix your nutrition, and focus on yourself.
>>97254798DMing is not the magic bullet you are looking for to make you happy. No such bullet exists. If you enjoy DMing, then find your enjoyment in that. If you don't, talk to your players and see if one of your players would be interested in running a game, either as a break or longer-term if you don't feel like you'd enjoy going back to it.Being a DM isn't going to fix not having a wife, a good sleep schedule, or a fulfilling job. If those are things you think need fixing, do what you can to make those things happen. I'd start with the sleep thing first. Fixing those also isn't going to make you happy by themselves but you can derive happiness from them if you put yourself into the mindset to do so.
