What pantheon(s) would you want implemented/updated?
>>97177684Is there a chud pantheon? I want a chud pantheon.
>>97177446You guys don't even read the adventures.
Will the pf1e guys go back here now and leave our general?t. 3.5 player
>>97178093Holy shit, they can’t help themselves. I didn’t even catch that while reading the biography, anon. I legitimately thought they actually had a heterosexual romance in modern Paizo.The absolute state of this gay-ass setting.
>>97178399>>97178093OH MY GOD AND THEY GAVE HIM TOP SCARS TOO!AHAHAHAHAHA!
>>97177684> What is your favorite pantheon?Whatever we had in 1e.> What pantheon(s) would you want implemented/updated?I don’t
>>97178406Are those scars? I thought they were just pecs.
>>97178093What the fuck is this shit? 100% miss rate with these books.
>>97178093>>97178399>>97178435>Gets positive reactions from people who actually play and buy the product>Gets trolls and haters who don't buy anything anyways to out themselves by being apoplectic over the presence of non-cishet characters
>>97178406>top scarsFor what fucking purpose, this game has like eight magic ways to switch gender and countless magic ways to heal/hide scars so why the fuck do top scars exist
>>97178487The rituals must be conducted even if there are quicker or healthier means to acquire the same solution.
apparently Bastion of Blasphemies will be Metroid-vania Dark Souls
>>97180176Can I get a QRD on Parry and Coup de Grace in PF2e?
>>97180176Oh boy, I can’t wait for a Chud male vampire to kill and a misunderstood lesbian you need to reunite with their lover. That’s the kind of thrilling narrative I’ve come to expect from Paizo.>>97178482Then why are you here? Go to the Paizo forums if you think you need a safe space to ogle the system.
>>97178093>>97178406I love how the shills for this bullshit are going through the usual responses of,>It's not happening>It's happening but not a big deal>It's happening and it's a good thing <--- YOU ARE HEREAnd the most tiresome thing of it all is that I know just what these dumb fucks are going to say, "Hurr if they don't say their sexuality than we can assume it's heterosexual and cis." Why? Why can we assume that? We spent the last fucking decade and a half explicitly keeping people from assuming gender or pronouns or sexuality. You need to announce this shit - and it's not like that's even a good excuse, anyway. I can't name the last time there was an NPC that was in a heterosexual relationship - in fact, I can't name the last time there was a strong man in any sort of position of power. Why the fuck should I give any sort of interest in >>97180176 when we know exactly what it's going to be, as >>97180764 says? Why should I look forward to anything in this system when we know it's going to be Man Bad Woman Good, Straight Bad Gay Good, and Cis Bad Trans Good?I can't wait for the Usual Suspects to come along and denigrate this post, because of course they will. They're secure in knowing Paizo has their best interests at heart.
>>97180354Parry is a trait some weapons have that lets you raise them for an AC bonus like a buckler while still wielding them as a weapon. "Coup de Grace" isn't an action in 2e, it's been rolled into how the dying condition works. If somebody's on the ground dying and would take any damage at all, they just advance up the dying track instead--or advance twice if the action that dealt damage was a crit. Spending a full round attacking a dying opponent is pretty much certain to kill them. This is just a replacement for 1e's system that tracked negative HP.
Is 2e low-power enough for a west-marches / sandbox / heavy-downtime / domain play game?
>>97182108It can definitely handle a sandbox/west-marches game, but it isn't low power at all. Even at Level 1 there's classes that are pulling some anime bullshit and there's more tools to decrease the early-game lethality than there were at launch. You aren't going to get an OSR experience with either Pathfinder game, less so with 2e since it doesn't have the lower point-buy options.
>>97180764>>97181443
>>97182108It can do all of that but trying to make a low power version of 2e without significant homebrew is bound to result in some major jank. Proficiency without level helps, but fucks with alot of basic assumptions about the game. Like the defacto rules for army battles in battlecry assume that half your army's strength is in the pcs and that level 10s can fight legions of devils on their own.
>>97182241That makes sense. I mean I don't mind the PCs being a significant force in battle as the heroes, but I don't want it to be like they can face 1000 enemy level 1 guys and not even get hit.>>97182142Not an OSR experience, but less of the high-power optimized DPR retardation builds like PF 1e.Or even 5e. I've heard PF2e is better balanced than both.
>>97182267Oh, yeah, then the game is good for that. Even the hyper-autistic Human Fighter-fag posting, that doesn't even hold a candle to the nonsense you can get away with in 5e.>but I don't want it to be like they can face 1000 enemy level 1 guys and not even get hit.Eh, by design you will outlevel things and you add your level to your AC by default. So there will be a point where Level 1 guys can't hurt a significantly higher-level opponent. The game expects any encounter to max out on a -4/+4 Player Level range, so do be mindful if you make areas based on level ranges.But realistically this shouldn't be a problem. Just part of why 2e is a Heroic Fantasy and not Low Fantasy.
>>97182305so what level would be the maximum that the characters would want to take over another barony and need to recruit at least a few dozen men to defeat the lord's army?
>>971828817 is the earliest and notable powerspike that every class in the game hit, with 11-13 being where game's meta particularly shift and everyone is most comfortable. 12 is the level you are expected to have 16,500 Gold for the party (Pathfinder had a major economic deflation between editions if that seems low to you), so these are good expectations around when the players start buying their way out of problems while keeping up with their treasure and gear. At least in my opinion.This should give you some good degree of expectations. You can also look into the Kingmaker AP (and corresponding homebrew adjustments because the 2e Kingdom Management rules are legit untested and poorly designed) for additional resources in large-scale bastion management. You can also look into the Captain archetype for scaling humanoid companion rules, in case you want some guidelines on building officers.
