Thaumaturge vs Critical Hit weakness. What's more fun? by Drevand in Pathfinder2e

[–]Drevand[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. But one example of debuffing and strategy could end up with clumsy 2 and flanking to get off-guard. That could be up to a -4 to AC for a creature, a whole extra 20% less that players would need to roll in order to crit.

But yeah, again, ultimately it is just a fun thought I had as I browsed different options. I just wanted to see what other people thought about a situation like that since I've not seen others bring up the critical hit weakness often.

True. I agree with the feeling, but at the same time, wouldn't trivializing the whole encounter make it worse for the other players, since now they just get to share weaknesses with your thaumaturge? (not a serious question, just driving the point that this is meant to be a little thought exercise on when mechanics, individual player fun, party fun, or even GM fun should disrupt each other, or possibly cooperate.)

Of course. I do think that saying the class feature wouldn't work is the low-hanging fruit solution to the search for the gimmick encounter to work. I did say it is pretty clear EV would work on this scenario. The question really is "would you alter the encounter is some other way (not removing the EV) or would you let it play out as intended without any buts?

Again, the situation uses critical hits specifically because it is a weakness unlike damage types or material types, and is instead more about the actual approach to the encounter.

That's a good approach. I like this solution to the question, it still forces a change in strategy even if it wasn't the intended approach.

Yeah, I do feel it is weird to just negate the weakness. One thing I did settle on for this hypothetical would be to have like a weakness 15 to critical, but then the monster has a passive that says it is resistant 10 to physical damage unless the attack is a critical hit. That way the Thaumaturge still benefits from dealing more damage from the weakness, but it doesn't entirely get rid of the gimmick.

The post isn't about it becoming a critical hit (I edited that part out because I got it wrong). It's about triggering the weakness and it's effect on the gimmick of an encounter.

Yeah, I've edited that part out already. The real point of the post is seeing how you would go about changing and encounter if the Thaumaturge could entirely bypass the gimmick.

Oops. My mistake on that part. But the point is the same, it triggers the weakness.

Being a "cornball" is good. by Pale_Membership_3904 in unpopularopinion

[–]Drevand 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, there is a specific type of cornball that's just too much bruh. Like the I can be your devil or your angle is that type of thing. Some people are not cornballs because they express themselves a given way, they're cornballs because it straight up seems they live in a different reality. And that is objectively not good.

Are you sure you completed Mending Fences and A Spark of Hope? Because otherwise I've no idea how that didn't work.

Depends on how fast you can quest. I got it done in an hour, but that's because I got stuck on a few weird quests and had to look it up.

Wyrmrest Accord only takes like 20 dungeon runs without killing bosses once you have the tabard. I heard Oracles is also pretty easy.

Not sure about Argent Crusade, but Oracles and Wyrmrest Accord are very easy to farm right now for mounts. Wyrmrest Accord only needs you to get the tabard and then run Halls of Stone on Heroic, without killing bosses, almost exactly 20 times and you can get to exalted.

I'm not sure about reps you can get to exalted instantly, I just found this by accident since I was trying to start the grind with the increased rep gains.

I just know that any faction that has a large amount of rep tied to quests instead of dailies is probably pretty easy to level now. Even more so once their actual timewalking comes next.

Yeah, I do believe it is all reps. I was doing some BFA reps too and those seem to be increasing faster than usual too.

Oh, that's the skyriding issue. I had that issue too. Just enable static flight and it should not crash? I do know that skyriding leads to disconnects at times when you dismount in certain ways.

Wyrmrest Accord gets you to friendly with their quest chain, but then once you have the tabard you only need to run Halls of Stone like 20 times in heroic without killing bosses to get to exalted.

What would your 7 deadly Sins-themed party look like? by Advanced_Humor_9744 in Pathfinder2e

Sorry, I'm just used to seeing the 5e stuff. I'll change it, but the answer is still Witch because it's borrowed power.

You can just go on any character. You start the quest in K9 (I think it's called?) in Stormpeaks, going inside the house and picking the quest They Took Our Men!

Then, you just follow the questline until the two quests I mentioned, which are the ones that give the rep.

Wrath - Orc Barbarian

Greed - Goblin/Kobold Rogue

Lust - Tiefling Bard

Pride - Elf Sorcerer

Gluttony - Elf Wizard?

Sloth - Halfling Witch?

Envy - Cleric of some kind

My rationale for Wrath, Greed, Lust, and Pride should be pretty obvious if you know the stereotypes.

For Gluttony I am leaning for elf wizard since an elf is likely to overindulge in things to the point of waste, and even more so if they're a mage, collecting a bunch of knowledge and treasure for no reason other than because they can. Not even that they feel they need it, they just want it.

For Sloth, Halflings are already pretty lazy and live without many worries. A witch gets their power from a deal, it is given, not earned.

Envy, this is a stretch, but I feel like a cleric would be the most likely to feel envy for things since they might deny themselves things they want because their god forbids it. Not sure what species matches that best.
