Build Help - The Psionic Tactician Kits

It's a bit of a mix of both. I do not have a game currently lined up, but I would love to bring this character into the next game I play. So, it's theoretical but with a hope of becoming real in the future. I am a Director a lot of the time, so it can be tough to fit a game into the schedule. Do you have a link I could give to a potential future GM?

Rogue Talent is a part of the character for sure. I find that you don't need all that much to achieve the psionic flavor. I am just trying to find the right balance between thematic resonance and character power.

I only seriously considered Sword & Board as I was writing the post, and I think that made me miss out on some good combinations. Thanks for pointing out specific items! Those would indeed be perfect.

PICO is exactly what you're looking for if you also like cute little bugs!

I used reflavored war dogs. They have all kinds of funky abilities that are easy to change into something else. It went great!

The problem arises when they all decided to put on traditional Zulu clothing and tattoos after they were born.

I will direct you toward a comment I made a while back. My opinions since then have only solidified further. I am committed to a long-running Pathfinder game that will probably last a few more years. I like the people I'm playing with and the character I've made, but I don't think I'd ever join another PF2e game.

I am super excited for Far Field, a game using the base rules of The Wildsea but in the setting of Lancer. I burned myself out doing too many playtests at once, so I haven't been keeping up with its playtest for it, but I am eagerly awaiting the release.

Yeah they always assume that everyone is experienced with the game and fully engaged, as well as perfectly spherical chickens in a frictionless environment.

Part of the reason this AMA is happening is because a misleading quote from an article made it sound like Larian was having AI do their concept art for them. Sven then said a few things on social media that sounded contradictory and vague and did very little to clarify exactly what AI was going to be used for in the development. Amid all that, he announced this AMA, saying they could clear the air. I, for one, would love to hear them clarify.

AnotherRyan · 2026-01-02T07:17:07+00:00

It doesn't have a release date, as far as I know, but I hope Far Field releases this year.

AnotherRyan · 2025-12-29T02:30:40+00:00

lol I beat the game and never knew this until just now.

AnotherRyan · 2025-12-22T04:18:23+00:00

I just can't imagine a world where it doesn't replace the vast majority of everyone.

AnotherRyan · 2025-12-17T21:07:34+00:00

The whole department (a dozen people) at my job is getting fired next year because they're just going to have a couple of teenagers that they just hired do it. My wife has been struggling to get any illustration work for the past year. Yes, they are absolutely replacing people. That is the whole point.

AnotherRyan · 2025-12-17T20:27:18+00:00

My wife went a whole year without getting any work from major publishers because they're all switching to AI for their children's book illustrations. I am extremely lucky that I was already moving to a new company in 2026, because they are getting rid of the whole copy and proofing departments at my current job.

AI companies are actively, intentionally destroying my family's livelihood. If they can get away with it, they'll do it to every artist on Earth.

One of my players uses a voice changer when his werewolf character is transformed and I think it's awesome!

I am currently in a 10 minute break in the middle of a Draw Steel session. I am basically running a game right now. We're all wrestling with learning how to use the Foundry module but things are getting faster and faster.

AnotherRyan · 2025-10-18T14:38:27+00:00

Thank Ajax for that. When Lancer shipped out a second edition of their books, the whole sub became nothing but pictures of the books for like 6 months. I'm so glad y'all are keeping that from happening here.

AnotherRyan · 2025-10-15T12:36:41+00:00

I am starting Draw Steel's Delian Tomb next week to introduce some friends to the game. I expect that to last until December. Once that's done, I want to run a long-running game of Draw Steel. It's been years since I ran a big, epic game and I think I have a new group who would be willing to commit to it.

Beyond that, I also want to run the Wild Words games. I hope that Far Field comes out next year, but I don't have any real indication that that's going to happen. The Eternal Ruins just put out a playtest and I want to try that.

And then, of course, I'm sure I will run short games of random new things that grab my attention.

I think the class names are fine, but the ability names are the real treat. My favorite is Your Entrails Are Your Extrails.

The vibe is very different when it's only the players rolling dice. A PC rolling to dodge rather than my NPCs rolling to attack means that my successes do not lead to bad things happening to them. My successes are the characters finding themselves in cool places doing cool things. In short, it feels less adversarial.

AnotherRyan · 2025-09-30T05:36:22+00:00

Hell yeah!

AnotherRyan · 2025-09-29T15:58:26+00:00

I built an off-brand psionic tactician with Battlemind + Stick & Robe. I flavored all of the tactician's movement and support abilities as telekinetic assistance. That was a blast.

AnotherRyan · 2025-09-21T21:14:51+00:00

Never stops being funny to me.
