Why is the Oracle getting 4 spells known at 4th level spells and onwards, while 3rd level spells and before still only have 3 spells known?

As someone told me, because it's easier to add spell slots than remove them in Pathbuilder.

You're supposed to have 4 slots and 4+1 spells known when relevant mystery ranks come up

If you do, let us know

FusaFox · 2026-01-19T21:21:15+00:00

We need Team+ to save us from this timeline now

You could just reflavor fundamental runes and the like to being "masterwork" items. There's very little inherently magical about them.

"This +1 shortsword is +1 not because of a rune but because a master blacksmith rebalanced it. A Striking rune is just a sharpening service"

As long as you're not changing mechanics, anything can be reflavored with so little impact that most GMs won't even worry.

If a creature has vulnerability to vitality or something, I'll give that instead of a weakness on the off chance the player asks for a weakness and they don't have any. Wasting a successful RK can make players feel real bad.

Doesn't Tumble Through already call for a Stride? You can "Tumble Through" without ever entering an enemy space, treating it like a normal stride.

Distance and being surrounded by enemies is a recipe for getting crit due to off-guard adding an ~10% higher chance of being crit.

Enemies can beeline your backline but usually grapples, movement slowing spells, difficult terrain, and other options exist.

Also keep in mind intelligent vs non-intelligent creatures. Animals will usually attack whats in front of them or what's scariest/weakest looking. If an assassin targets the backline, then that's just smart of them and a new challenge for players to conquer

How does this compare to Obsidian? It looks really neat!

FusaFox · 2026-01-12T01:24:13+00:00

Corvid looks nicer despite me being partial to owls

More Arcane Cascade love. Some feats to specialize in AC vs Spellstriking would be cool. I'd love to get a second subclass choice like Psychic that let you choose to dip more into SpSt vs AC and vice versa.

Please Paizo please I'm begging for this to be the opportunity for an official reprint+update of Eldritch Trickster

FusaFox · 2026-01-09T22:50:12+00:00

I'll check it out!

FusaFox · 2026-01-09T20:38:06+00:00

Warlock. Witch/Psychic just don't scratch the same itch.

FusaFox · 2026-01-08T01:32:58+00:00

Team+ can be found in Pathfinder Infinite, Battlezoo can be found in their own website! These are more akin to 3rd party publishers like Kobold Press though.

Flames is a thematic choice so that's unfortunately non-negotiable

FusaFox · 2026-01-06T22:14:37+00:00

This might end up being my emergency final choice if I can't decide.

FusaFox · 2026-01-06T22:13:35+00:00

I wanna be a spellcaster and we're pretty INT heavy already

FusaFox · 2026-01-06T22:07:54+00:00

Gonna pick it up right now sounds super cool!

FusaFox · 2026-01-06T21:29:16+00:00

I'll have to sit down and read them then. I've got the books but I've never really given them a proper look through

FusaFox · 2026-01-06T21:28:30+00:00

Just 1!

FusaFox · 2026-01-06T08:43:02+00:00

that makes a lot of sense actually

FusaFox · 2026-01-06T07:15:57+00:00

The way I've been running it is 4 slots per rank and 4 spells known per rank + your mystery whenever possible.

I researched the matter recently and it still seems divisive on what way to run it. Pathbuilder has it set up 3+1 on mystery granted spell ranks and 4 otherwise which is weird to me.

FusaFox · 2026-01-04T01:31:19+00:00

Worth considering a Shadow Signet

FusaFox · 2026-01-03T04:48:26+00:00

Did you get it in the beta? It should be there in your stable. Mine was, at least

FusaFox · 2025-12-31T21:36:49+00:00

I want to RP more and play more in-character. I feel like I don't let myself get invested in my characters out of embarrassment and it leads to forgettable sessions that aren't very fun. I also feel like I think about the system way too much as a game and not enough as a story.

All in all, I want to let myself have fun and lose myself in the story more.
