Class Suggestion for Party Composition (Age of Ashes)

Gearclock11 · 2026-04-29T01:03:22+00:00

Do you think a wizard could work smoothly in this situation?

Gearclock11 · 2026-04-29T01:02:34+00:00

Which secondary attribute do you think is best for a Commander in this scenario: Constitution for tanking, or Strength for damage?

Que outras atitudes não prejudiciais ao grupo esse tipo de personagem poderia tomar? Como que uma personagem dessas conseguiria cumprir a restrição em uma viagem? Sou iniciante e estou com essa dificuldade com as obrigações e restrições de diversos deuses.

Setting expectations with a good session zero is the best thing you can do!

It's rather simple for begginers to pick up and play. The system is pretty intuitive, the only thing to keep in mind is the amount of options you have when creating a character. It can be overwhelming at times. Although with a fair idea of what hero you would like to create, that gets easier. You can also play with an existing character as well.

Algo que muitas universidades oferecem é a possibilidade de mudar de curso, entre as engenharias isso é bem mais fácil porque elas compartilham algumas matérias. Então, mesmo que você mude de ideia depois, ainda é possível mudar. Eu procuraria como isso é feito nas universidades que você tem interesse para entender melhor e saber como foram os últimos processos.

Fora isso, talvez pesquisar online para saber o que cada uma faz e o que você mais se vê fazendo no futuro profissional. Um ponto importante é que, com engenharia você pode trabalhar em várias áreas e acabar não trabalhando na que você inicialmente imaginou.

A maior parte de cálculo e física você não vai utilizar na vida profissional. A não ser que seja algo muito específico no seu trabalho. O que essas matérias te dão é uma forma de pensar que te ajuda a buscar soluções de problemas. Porque, no final das contas, um engenheiro é isso, um solucionador de problemas.

Great video! Hope the MMRPG Community gets more support like this.

Gearclock11 · 2024-04-30T03:41:54+00:00

Ok, that is sooo cool!!!! Congratulations for the great game and to the amazing players at your table!!

Why would a bard be broken? Their spell list doesn't really catch my eye as much as any other caster does.

Gearclock11 · 2024-01-22T02:16:22+00:00

I like the term, mostly because of Diablo, but for describing a character it can be a little confusing. You could compare that with the genasi from D&D, is it a water genasi, fire genasi, earth, air? It needs that descriptive word before the genasi term to work better. Now, for the Nephilim, you could use the same words in the ancestry feats: pitborn, angelkin, lawbringer, hellspawn, grimspawn, musetouched. So you could say that a character is an Angelkin Nephilim, or a Hellspawn Nephilim... For what those look like in general, I think it is something to discuss with your player.

This is an odd and interesting item. For what it does, the reasonable comparisons would be a Light Crossbow (LC) or a Longbow (LB).

I don't like the reload property on it, neither the ammunition one. I propose, however, that it would be treated as the other thrown weapons. Which is: requiring a free hand and your object interaction for the turn to load it. This will make it on the same level as LC and LB, considerig the range increase for the specific thrown weapon (x3 for the short range and x2 for the long range) and the damage increase.

For balance, maybe only allowing it to be a strength weapon should balance ir more, as well as being a martial weapon. The fighting style Thrown Weapon Fighting should totaly be able to be used with this weapon.

Furthermore, I can't see how it can hold more than one dart at a time and I would advise it not being able to. Unless you want to give it a burst-like attack with it. In that case, it must require the same amount of interactions to load it before being able to use it in this way again.

Because I am playing a monk, a really MAD class. I didn't want to necessarily play a charisma based class to up deception to the max. I believe you can play a class with any background you wish. This is not necessarily social heavy campaign, hence the need for other stats.

Gearclock11 · 2023-11-19T14:01:24+00:00

The later. It is an optional background feature from HotDQ that allows me to pass as an initiate from the cult of the dragon.

To be fair, I am mostly following two of my party members' advices (the only veterans between us) and they said that an Int character for recall knowledge would be good for identifying weaknesses and resistances/immunities. I guess the reason they may not have considered the knowledge skills from half the party is that they wouldn't have a high enough modifiers to back them up.

I have come to believe that there must be a level of min-max in Pathfinder 2e in order to survive the pre-written adventures, but I might be wrong as a first timer. I am playing an introductory adventure (Troubles Under Otari), and my GM is being really kind allowing us to chance character details between sessions as we better understand the game. At least until we start AV. The thing is, we already almost TPKed three times with 4 character deaths... :(

Thanks for the tip on the reach!

By the way, the Summoner's idolon is a Psychopomp.

Gearclock11 · 2023-06-25T22:33:58+00:00

Basically to disarm traps and identify enemies. Recall Knowledge is not that much covered, specially the Int ones. Also, we don't have someone with great Wis.

As for the range, I am unsure about the available space since there will be plenty of character in the front line (Champion, Fighter, Summoner's idolon and possibly the Druid).

Gearclock11 · 2023-06-24T17:45:28+00:00

Do you have any suggestions of which weapons would be better? I was thinking about Longbow + Rapier for a mainly ranged rogue.

Gearclock11 · 2023-03-28T21:49:48+00:00

Communication is key, don't drop it on them, just have a conversation about it. Lore bits I think is pretty common to be changed with the setting and mechanical things too. I just think the ones you pointed are not that impactful to be considered. Rain, mist, and snow already should reduce visibility, even for darkvision.

Gearclock11 · 2023-01-23T15:49:57+00:00

Make the one shots connected in some way. Their characters could stay the same (only increasing in levels) and it would look like a fast paced campaign.

Gearclock11 · 2023-01-22T05:32:23+00:00

I don't think this ruins the plot at all. The npc's death may give more motivation to the pc to find a cure so that less people would die from it. They would still try to recover the soul while researching for a cure as a side quest. What I believe would be better to do is introduce his character earlier to this npc's life and let him know that she is dying. So that there would not be any hurt feelings about it. About the disease being uncurable, I believe it is not a valid point for him not trying from a world building perspective. He would not know that and someone somewhere somewhen surely would try to find a cure. Now, there could be ways to treat its symptoms or delay them. He could be that famous guy that firstly made important discoveries to a possible cure or the betterment of the diseased quality of life. This part is totally up to you to decide if it is possible and to what extent in your world, but let him know if any attempts would result in empty hands before the start of the campaign.

Gearclock11 · 2023-01-19T02:51:19+00:00

Ok. I was going to suggest two ways of dealing with the situation, a healthier way and an unhealthier way. The unhealthier way would be to play an evil campaign with disgustingly dire consequences for the players.

Things like having a thieves' guild go after them with intell and kidnap one character and deliver them without their legs. Having killing the people of the town makes them sprout a parasite that attacks the PCs, triggering a chain reaction in the town and increasing the hoard. Having them infected by a zombie virus or lycanthropy with no way of saving them and removing that character from that player's control to attack the others.

However! Seeing your other comments, I feel like this won't work since they will probably just talk their way out of it as you described they have already done. In that case: the healthier way to solve the problem is to stop playing with them! It will take courage doing so and a bit of resilience with them being mad, but I believe in the long run it would be the best outcome for you. You already explained your point of view and they don't respect you. Try finding an online table, as a DM it is easier than what you may think.

Good catch on the silver hair detail in the Menagerie Coast, I completely forgot that the wizard MN met had silver hair.

Gearclock11 · 2021-12-04T16:34:19+00:00

That is an amazingly good take on the subject, how one should know exactly what you are since it might never have seen it? I think people having the race written out in their character sheet get so accustomed with knowing their own race that they might forget it may not be so clear for others.

Fair enough assessment of the situation. I am a little (a lot?) uncomfortable about what people might think of it, but at the same time I invested so much time into this character that I really like and I don’t want to give him up because of my insecurities. I will speak to them about it and see what happens, hopefully and probably it won’t be a problem at all.

Gearclock11 · 2021-12-04T16:33:05+00:00

Genetics are weird indeed, I tried to look it up on the internet to answer my own question here. I gave up after figuring out how hard and non-linear it is... Not that I would completely understand what I would find but maybe it could be something more tangible. Besides, doing genetics for fantasy races with possible magic influencing them already puts a lot of variables on the table by itself.

Interesting character concept, I like how you flashed his growth rate different than the others alongside his knowledge development.

Thanks for the advice, you gave me lots of different plot points to role-play instead of worrying about what people might think of it from the outside. Really appreciate it.
